[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwd:
So I did something stupid without researching it.

I have a factory replacement nexus 5. I though I could just make a backup of my old phone and flash it onto my new one. So I did that. However, I ticked the box for EFS backup, and then I restored my old EFS onto my new phone, which has essentially bricked it.

Before I did that, though, I created a backup of the new phone including its EFS. So as you may have guessed, I'm currently busting my ass trying to recover the data that has been erased. I'm attempting to use this guide

I understand most of what it's attempting to do. I've checked the location of busybox, I've entered these commands hundreds of times now. My issue seems to be dd commands are not working.

For instance,

returns nothing. I have a cygwin terminal open right now that has been sitting after my last input for 20 minutes. It appears that no dd commands work at all, and I am not sure what the issue could be. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwd:
I figured it out. My issue with this method was a combination of a non-compatible version of netcat, and an incorrect path to the block/partition which I was trying to mirror.

The correct path to /userdata/ for Nexus 5 devices is /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmcblk0p28 in case anyone in the future has the same issue.

Yeah careful with this stuff. You were lucky I guess that 10 was rpmb and you couldn't do anything with it.

Anyone else notice that the new update for the my verizon app is asking for root? It didn't ask when I first updated and ran the app, but I just rebooted and it requested root.
[Droid Ultra General] tecsironman:
What app is it?
[Droid Ultra General] hawkswind1:
"My Verizon Mobile" It's preinstalled on the device and includes the data usage monitor and ui to pay your bill, change features, etc.
[Droid Ultra General] tecsironman:
Damn.. That's the app I use to keep my data on check

---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ----------

Are you sure it requested root permission? I just updated the app and ran it and I didn't receive a su request for it.
[Droid Ultra General] hawkswind1:
Reboot and see if it asks. I found this guess it's not just me.

It also requests camera permissions among other unnecessary things. Watch what you install people.
[Droid Ultra General] kcipopnevets:
Whoever unlocked their bootloaders should watch out! I have a feeling they're eyeing us more since we just had the whole Chinese incident.
[Droid Ultra General] akellar:
You really think Verizon updated their app to watch the micro-percent of people that used that service? BTW, root and unlocked bootloaders are not the same and you can't tell the unlocked status from root.

For whatever reasons they implemented this, we're undoubtedly under a microscope.

Root request popped up here while I was on a call(voicemail).

[Droid Ultra General] aviwdoowks:
So they have a determination of root by root-denied vs no root access, or is each the same?
[Droid Ultra General] @work:
I came here to ask this. The app updated and then asked for root when i made a call.

Thinking about the Isis app, it was able to determine the phone was rooted even when root access is denied.

Just disable / freeze this app. I have uninstalled that one after getting root access... There are other ways to get the infos shown by this app, right??

I used Xposed module root cloak, and added My Verizon to the list after it updated. Seems to have done the trick. For my mini at least.
[Droid Ultra General] aviwdoowks:
No matter, the "devs" at moto/vzw can distinguish that you have root. The only way to stop their knowledge would be to prevent it running at all!
[Droid Ultra General] Dragon31337:
They will never know unless you grant permissions to their app, no?
[Droid Ultra General] aviwdoowks:
Let a dev chime in but why do it if you will just catch a few that grant passage? I bet there is a difference to be noted between no root & root denied.

[Droid Ultra General] marinegundoctor:
Here's what I did:

I had this issue pop up after installing 'My Verizon' after I flashed Hyperdrive15 to my GS4. I didn't respond to the request and just let it time out.

I then force-closed My Verizon.

Using Xposed Framework:

I added it to the RootCloak module.

I used the module 'App Settings' (ver 1.8) and removed the following permissions from 'My Verizon Mobile':

CAMERA

GET_TASKS

KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES

READ_EXTENAL_STORAGE

WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

I believe these are most likely so the app can act as a security app in case the phone is lost or stolen. VZW offers a 'premium' insurance for US$10 a month that provides the features. They try and push it down your throat every time you ask about insurance or add a phone. I keep telling them there are plenty of free apps that do the same things and more for free.

Anyhow, that's what these perms are most likely for, however, like most things in life they can be used for other things by big red I'm sure. Especially the GET_TASKS perm.
[Droid Ultra General] jrobin:
They are attempting to get root for the purpose of logging your rooted status only they know what they will use the information for. I forget who but someone on XDA has already examined the apk I determine what it was doing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] crazy_user:
Hello guyss... I will give you a simple guide..

Tested on my device " GT-B5330 " in TW rom

For other device, you must adapt with this guide

How To :

1. Decompile your SystemUI.apk

2. Go to ids.xml in SystemUI/res/values/ids.xml

3. Add this code

<item type="id" name="panel_flip">false</item>
<item type="id" name="button_flip">false</item>

4. Go to tw_statusbar_expanded_header in SystemUI/res/layout-sw320dp-mdpi/here

5. Find this code

</LinearLayout>

Above this code, add this

<com.kangkung.ButtonKangkung android:id="@id/button_flip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

6. Go to tw_statusbar_expanded.xml in SystemUI/res/layout/here

7. Find this code

<View android:background="#091a24" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="1.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/tw_notification_panel_header_height" />

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] chykan:
Is there a Telstra radio for the Motorola Photon Q available?

I have got my phone working on the Telstra NextG Network with the following details.

Android Version: 4.0.4

Baseband Version: ASANTI_C_BP1139.000.18.09P

Telstra's 850mhz 4G Network is incompatible with my phones 4G hardware.

3G is working Fine.

I have Mobile Data with Telstra's APN's Setup

I can send and receive SMS

I can only receive MMS but cannot send without using Google Hangouts

Would anyone here have a clue as to what is going on? Please see below link with screen shots of the settings screens etc.

crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Android/XT897-Motorola-Photon-Q-4G-LTE-Can-Recieve-MMS-but-will-not-Send/td-p/279597
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
If you can't send MMS, I don't think your issue is the radio.

Have you checked your APN settings?

Edit - I just read thru your telstra thread, looks like you've gone thru APN's and it sounds like your "fix" is to use Google Hangouts but this isn't an acceptable workaround for you...

Not sure what else we can do for you. If it works with hangouts, then something is up with the ROM itself I suppose. Try running CM.

I don't personally use MMS, Sprint has always been terrible at it, and ever since I merged my number with Google Voice, most MMS messages just go into a black hole. I just tell people to email me pics, that works 100% of the time.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] CornholioGSM:
...all motorola phones from usa have problems with mms on gsm networks.

solution is install anothes sms/mms apk or install cyanogenmod....then all works fine :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] chykan:
Thanks for the reply mate and the time you took to read the other thread.

Do you know anyone using a Photon Q with Sim Mod in Australia?

Google Hangouts will have to be acceptable, I was just facebook emailing photo's before that. Just nice to have the phone functioning as it should.

I have been debating between Cyanogen and Carbon, but the phone is working fine on ICS and I have done major setups within Tasker and Multiple Home Screens, (Car Home V3 and Normal Home Screens) with multiple widgets. I do not want to loose this setup.

I do have TWRP installed and the phone is Rooted.

Cheers Hunter
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] chykan:
Well that explains it.

Is that meant to be "anothers sms/mms apk" or "anothes sms/mms apk"?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] chykan:
The (LAC Local Area Code) does not seem to match from my phone settings using *#*#4636#*#*

Phone Settings: LAC=3250

Network Signal Pro: LAC=12880
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I think he means "another sms/mms apk" - as in a third party solution like GoSMS, or even the Hangouts solution you have deployed.

This could be it, but I am not an expert by any stretch of the word on this topic...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] chykan:
If I could just find a way to change the LAC: in Phone Settings,

I am guessing LAC:3250 is based in America somewhere.

LAC:12880 is definitely wht the cell towers are using in Australia.

The iBeige revolution and the Beige Masses that have followed each other like sheep, have ensured all that is sold is Touch Screen Only phones. I remember once upon a time when everyone wouldn't buy a phone without hardware buttons. Cheap crappy hardware QWERTY's have put the final nails in the coffin.

I nursed a HTC Touch Pro 2 for five years, replaced the bodies once a year, only thing being original was the mother board.

Same will be with this Photon Q, until another hardware QWERTY is made in the future, fingers crossed.

I've tried all sorts of roms, AOSP and Sense, they all stay connected to 4g for a few minutes at most after a reboot and then go back to 3g.

Everything else works fine, and my sim works good in other phones and stays on 4G.

Any idea what this could be or what is causing this?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
Have you updated to the latest firmware? If your using kitkat roms, you need kitkat firmware. You can find the firmware in the second post of santods stock rom thread in development. Use the no boot.img one.

Yea I've flashed those also. Everything used to work fine until that roaming display issue. Never returned to normal for me, even tho roaming is gone.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
Have you ever ruu'd back to stock and then done a factory reset from hboot? That is the only way to wipe out the network settings and force them to be updated. Worth a try i guess.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dethsesh:
I guess that's my only option, thought maybe I'd be able to avoid it.

I'll try tomorrow and update.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dethsesh:
Tried to ruu back to stock yesterday and still getting the same results. No 4g after a few minutes.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Souldrifter:
I'm not getting 4g at all on my phone. I came here to post a question and saw yours, so thought posting another thread would be pointless.

I've got NusenseSIX RC4.5 running and while the 4g icon comes on, there's no data transfer at all. I flashed the new firmware first, as instructed, and that seemed to go just fine according to the directions. But, when I swapped my sim card from my other One and waited a few minutes, even *228'ed, no data.

I got the phone already rooted and s-offed with TWRP 2.7.0.1. How do I get it back to stock to clear out the network settings? Or could it be a bad firmwware flash, so I'm screwed anyway?

EDIT: I redid everything, and just stuck with the Sense 5.5 mostly stock ROM. Data works now. Might've been firmware, might've been the ROM on my phone. Zero idea.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dethsesh:
Is it possible to have a bad sim?

I just got a replacement device and I still cannot get 4G service for more than about 2 minutes before it switches to 3G
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Souldrifter:
Sure, you can have a bad SIM, but I don't think that'd cause the drop in data transfer rate... lack of data all together, or other things not working, sure, but if you can actually catch a 4G link and then it drops to 3G, sounds more like the radios, the hardware, or just a bad coverage area. I'm no expert, though.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dethsesh:
In case anyone was wondering, I ended up getting a new SIM and that has fixed my 4G issue. No idea what was wrong with the SIM, but anyway it sucked.

Okay guys, I've created this FAQ as I done the same to help those with the M7 and thought I'd do the same over here aswell.

Only post in this thread if you have an addition/improvement for this FAQ!

If you don't have an addition/improvement for this FAQ, then DON'T POST IN HERE! If you do, your post will be deleted on sight.

If you have a question, either ask in the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum by creating your own thread OR ask in a currently existing thread which is the same topic. Only ask your question after you've already searched for the answer yourself though.

If any questions or irrelevant posts get made in this thread, just ignore them. I will clean them up when I see them. Replying to such posts won't help the situation in the slightest.

This IS NOT a help thread. This is simply an FAQ so NO questions should be being asked or answered in here.

First of all, as I mentioned in post #2, questions shouldn't be being asked in here. Suggestions are fine and even welcomed but questions are not.

Now, regarding adding information about S-Off, RUU's, CID/SuperCID etc. I'm debating creating a separate thread for such information. While I could always add certain parts into this FAQ, to properly explain each of these terms and exactly what they do would somewhat drown and overshadow all other information in this thread as well as most likely being more awkward to have it contained into a readable format.

I'm currently in talks with some other members about a potential new thread and am awaiting responses before I know how I'm going to deal with this. Until that point, the above posts will be kept here (not deleted yet) so that I don't forget about them.

That does not mean that questions are okay to be asked here. Read post #2 and stick to it ;)

I'll update here once a decision has been made either way :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:
I've just updated the FAQ to include Q5 which includes a guide to explain things like S-Off, RUU etc. :)

In essence this is a new "feature" HTC introduced for non-technical users.

The bluetooth visibility on an HTC One M8 works as follows. If you got your bluetooth activated AND you are in the Bluetooth settings screen the HTC One M8 ist visible for ohter devices. If you close this screen it is invisible to other devices.
