Hi Robert

I did the same thing as you...except that I have not been able to fix it. Can you please describe to me exactly how you reflashed your phone please?

Thanks in advance!

:(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
You guys know that Xposed puts a framework disabler zip on your internal storage? All you have to do is boot into a custom recovery and install it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanxion:
Unfortunately, I don't have a custom recovery installed. My phone is literally out of the box.

I do not have this phone, so have no way to test. You attempt at your own risk.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanxion:
Thank-you...will this work even though I did not enable usb debugging on my phone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
What root method did you do that didn't require USB Debugging to be enabled?? But yea, I dunno about that. You're going to have to find out though. You'll need the SP Flash Tool to work, whether it's to install the custom recovery, or to install the entire stock firmware.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanxion:
There is a 'Super User' setting in Settings which I enabled.

I tried installing PdaNet but that does require USB debugging to complete the installation.

Isn't there a standard recovery mode on these phones that I can use (combination key press) to install a rom copied onto the SD card?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
That's pretty handy. But no, the stock recovery does not support that. You might be able to get out of it just from doing a factory reset in the stock recovery, but it's hard to say since Xposed makes changes to /system as well and the factory data reset does not affect the /system partition, just /data
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanxion:
Ok...how do I access the "stock recovery"?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
It's in the comments to the needrom thread I linked to.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanxion:
Thanks...I have fixed it...strangely the PdaNet drivers worked when I turned my phone on...from there I was able to install MTK tools, then cwm recovery, wiped dalvik etc and did a reset...all fine now.

hi good day how to root iocean g7
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ladislav.heller:
Modem update from CWM simply doesn't work! :D

I tried already everything! Result is: Script runs without error but no change, the baseband version is still the old.

My last update script (no errors, but doesn't work) is following:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "serranolte" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "serranolte" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "serranoltexx" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "serranoltexx" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "i9195" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "i9195" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9195" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9195");
ui_print("------------------------------------------------------");
ui_print("I9195 modem update by LackoGyerek");
show_progress(0.150000, 0);
package_extract_dir("tools", "/tmp");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/busybox");
run_program("/tmp/busybox", "mkfs.vfat", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem");
run_program("/tmp/busybox", "mkdir", "-p", "/tmp/modem");
run_program("/tmp/busybox", "mount", "-w", "-t", "auto", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem", "/tmp/modem");
package_extract_dir("modem", "/tmp/modem");
set_perm_recursive(0, 1000, 0771, 0771, "/tmp/modem/image");
run_program("/tmp/busybox", "umount", "/tmp/modem");
ui_print("Installation complete!");
show_progress(1.000000, 0);
ui_print("------------------------------------------------------");

The update package above uses the unpacked NON-HLOS.bin content. Can be easily unpacked with DiskInternals Linux Reader tool.

Already tried with/without formatting of modem partition.

Also tried the edify command

package_extract_file("NON-HLOS.bin", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem");

Method below was checked too:

busybox dd if=./NON-HLOS.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem

Result of dd command:

97923+1 records in
97923+1 records out
50136832 bytes (47.8MB) copied, 6.765573 seconds, 7.1MB/s

And finally this method:

package_extract_dir("modem","/tmp");
write_raw_image("/tmp/NON-HLOS.bin", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem");
delete("/tmp/NON-HLOS.bin");

All above with the same result: No error during flash, but baseband version not changed.

Any idea, how to update modem via recovery?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosat:
If you check the contents of the flashed NON-HLOS.bin you should find that it has indeed been changed.

The version listed in about device doesn't update unless you flash with Odin twice
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ladislav.heller:
Trust me, I checked it! :)

Followíng command used to check:

busybox dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem | strings | grep "I9195"

The above always returned the old baseband version string.

And yes, the Odin solution works also for me but I'm searching for a CWM flash solution. No luck yet...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ladislav.heller:
News: I've found this XDA thread, where user says:

Maybe this is the solution. Before flashing modem, the whole modem partition must be erased.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ladislav.heller:
Guys, it's really interesting. It seems, that modem partition on our device is write protected. We simply can't erase/format it or write anything to it from recovery (or we don't know the correct way).

I did the following: Went to TWRP recovery, which has built in command line terminal. My goal was to format modem partition. Normally this can be done using following command:

busybox mkfs.vfat -v /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem

Cmd executed successfully, but modem partition was NOT formatted.

After restart of phone I checked the mobile data functionality, everything worked and still works without problem.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosat:
This is the script form a GT-I9500 CWM-flashable modem.

ui_print("----Samsung Galaxy S4----");
ui_print("-----GT-I9500-ONLY-----");
ui_print("-----Android 4.2.2------");
ui_print("------STOCK Modem-----");
ui_print("-created-by-DjeMBeY-XDA-");
show_progress(0.150000, 0);
assert(package_extract_file("Djembey/modem.bin", "/tmp/modem.bin"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/modem.bin", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p13"),
delete("/tmp/modem.bin"));
ui_print("Installation complete!");
show_progress(1.000000, 0);

Seems like it uses write_raw_image straight to the partition.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ladislav.heller:
Yes, I saw that. Already tried but as the other methods: Script executes successfully, but modem is not updated.

You can also try if you want, here is my example.

The script in my package is following:

package_extract_dir("modem","/tmp");
[B]write_raw_image[/B]("/tmp/NON-HLOS.bin", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem");
delete("/tmp/NON-HLOS.bin");

Note: assert() command is not necessary.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ropoman:
I am using Odin 3.09. I have tried several CWM .tar.md5 and recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.6-serranoltexx.tar.md5

It always says "PASS!" and when I boot into recovery I get the old Android system recovery <3e>

What am I doing wrong??? Please help!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Weekend':
In Odin does it say "succed1 failed 0"?

After the phone reboots did you press Home + Volume up?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ropoman:
Yes, it says that. When I first press home + vol up I cannot get it into recovery. It does a normal boot. Only if I try again, it boots to the OLD recovery
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosat:
If fails because you did not boot into recovery right after it flashes. You must catch that first boot into recovery otherwise the system will automatically reflash stock recovery
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ropoman:
Thanks! That is is. None of the instructions I have really mention this explicitly
[Sony Xperia ZL] sedutosullalbero:
Hi everybody, I'm new and I'm a complete disaster! (sorry for my english, I write from Italy).

I decided to change my Fujitsu F-06e for a Xperia zl to try some roms, and I received it today.

Reading and meshing many different tutorials I obtained root permissions, installed an advanced recovery, bricked it and then I flashed it with sony mobile flasher using a stock firmware I found on the internet.

Now I'm back again to the beginning!

So, I ask you to help in installing a new customized rom!

I wanted to try this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2709292

I passed last 6 hours fighting with this damn phone, so, please, help me!
[Sony Xperia ZL] CokeJunkee:
For AOSP roms (CaynogenMod, AOKP, PAC, Omni, etc..) you will need to unlock the bootloader

If your bootloader is unlockable, follow these steps:

1. Make a backup of your DRM Keys using this! You need to be rooted for the backup, so get root and recovery as you did before.

2. After rooting and backup unlock the bootloader.

3. Use fastboot or flashtool to flash the 'boot.img' from the roms .zip that you downloaded.

4. Enter recovery, wipe (data, cache, dalvik cache), and install your rom.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sedutosullalbero:
Ok, I flashed again complete firmware cause I could get root, so now I rooted it.

May I use sony mobile flasher to flash boot from the rom I chose?
[Sony Xperia ZL] sedutosullalbero:
I tryed many different roms but they all stop when I turn on the phone, starting a loop.

I tryed stock cyanogen, pacman rom and this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2709292.

Everything is going the same. What is wrong? I flash boot.img before installing zip file from the recovery. I tryed to do the wipe or not, but that's same. Help me please...
[Sony Xperia ZL] Bassheadzero:
All right.. Those roms need to be unlocked bootloader, you can only install custom roms based in Sony stock.

If you want to use these roms, you need to backup your TA partition and unlock your bootloader.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sedutosullalbero:
But I did it! At least I think so...
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
You have to flash boot.img with fastboot via adb! Then reboot into recovery and flash ROM...

Gesendet von meinem C6503 mit Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia ZL] sedutosullalbero:
I flashed boot.img with fastboot using this string: "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then I flashed the rom's zip from the recovery. Isn't it correct?
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
That's correct. Have you checked if your bootloader is really UNlocked?

Gesendet von meinem C6503 mit Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia ZL] sedutosullalbero:
Yes, I did and it is!

So, everything should be right? Why isn't it working?
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
Should be right. Which recovery do you have after flashing CM11 boot.img? Does it say something like CM based recovery?

Gesendet von meinem C6503 mit Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia ZL] sedutosullalbero:
CWM-based recovery v6.0.4.6
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
Then there's probably something wrong with te flashing of the boot.img. You should have the latest 6.0.4.7 version with the CM touch navigation if you flashed latest CM boot.img!

Gesendet von meinem C6503 mit Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia ZL] sedutosullalbero:
Ok, once again.

I download this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2709292

take the boot.img file from the zip,

put it in the fastboot folder,

open the prompt,

go into the fastboot folder,

write this "fastboot flash boot boot.img",

connect the phone in fastboot mode (pressing vol+ and connecting the cable),

the program starts and it says "ok",

disconnect, ok, now is v6.0.4.7 (it was the previous version because I tryed another rom based on the previous version of cyanogen),

I start the phone, enter recovery,

install the zip of the rom (the one I used to get the boot.img of course),

it's done (no errors), I wipe the cache, and wipe data/factory, and it says this

"-- Wiping data. . .

formatting/data

error mounting /data!

skipping format...

formatting /cache

formatting /sd-ext

E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]

formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...

error mounting /sdcard/ .android_secure!

skipping format...

Data wipe complete.

Now if I reboot system it stops on the cyanogen logo.

Could it be for the errors I got during the wiping procedure?

I'm going to throw this f******g mobile from the window!:eek:
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
Hm, when you do a factory reset you wipe your freshly installed system as well!

Flash boot.img, reboot to recovery, factory reset if you want, install ROM, wipe cache and dalvik only, reboot!

[Sony Xperia ZL] sedutosullalbero:
I tried this also, but it's the same!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Rafael Luis:
Hey man ! It happened to me once. You've done it everything right. The problem CAN be the downloaded ROM, it was my problem.

I can give you 2 suggestions:

1) Download the desired ROM again, and repeat.

2) Download the rom from cyanogenmod, xperia zl it's the ODIN one. I've installed the 10/04/2014 nightly, it's working. And proceed like you've already done.

Good luck ! :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia ZL] sedutosullalbero:
Done! Again It is not Working! I'm going to start crying...
[Sony Xperia ZL] Rafael Luis:
Relax, in my case: i've reinstalled the stock rom .101 via flashtools.

Used the stock for a day, the next day I installed the cmROM via flashtools and it worked. Try using the flashtools instead of cmd, i think its more reliable. Maybe can be missing some code in cmd , I remember that you have to put "fastboot 0xfce ...."

flashtools link : http://techbeasts.com/2013/10/29/how-to-install-and-use-sony-flashtool-on-xperia-devices/

1- reflash stock .101 (flashtools > flashmode (THIS MODE IS ONLY FOR STOCK ROM) )

2- download cyanogen rom and put the .zip in the root of sd card

3- plug the phone in the pc in fastboot mode (power off the phone, conect the cable pressing volume+ when the blue led appears, it's in fastboot mode)

4- Open flashtools, click on the lightning and choose: fastboot mode > flash kernel to flash boot.img

5- When prompt said that's done, unplug the cable and enter recovery

6- Wipe data, cache, dalvik and flash JUST THE ROM, not gapps already (it can be problem with gapps too)

7- Reboot and it should work but without the apps from google

8- reboot recovery and flash gapps

Good luck again ! :fingers-crossed:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
Hi everyone, i myself have a BlueAngel, but my dad has a Universal (M5000) and has been having a few problems with the bluetooth.

Basically, at first we thought the bluetooth was randomly turning off so i tired the latest orange rom upgrade (buisiness phone so must use orange rom) this made no difference so i assumed it was a hardware problem, he got it replaced but the new one also had the fault after a few days. since then it has been replaced about 5 times but all with the same problem, so i decided to have a look at it. The bluetooth seem to turn itself off after the devcie has been in suspend for about 5 minutes, so i was wondering if this was a power management issue.

Any help/tips would be nice

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, I just received the new case today. I picked it up off Amazon for $14.99. The case looks good and is very well built. The case looks and feels premium.

I went with the Metal blue color for the outer ring. As a bonus, Spigen threw in 3 screen protectors for free! The screen protectors alone retail for $9.99 so its a nice freebie.

Now, I just need the S5 to get here.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] undergrad:
All the colors I want for that case are not available yet :(

I really wish they made a version with a black ring around it.

Can you let me what material the ring around the phone is? I can't tell if it's plastic or some sort of metal.

I just picked up the same screen protectors as well as the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] ReefAcro:
Hello,

The ring around the phone is some sort of super hard plastic. Its quite rigid. The Metal slate color I received is very dark, and as close to black as I'll get.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] sabre31:
I bought this case also.. not so much impressed with it. It feels nice but a few things I don't like:

- It extends the phone out to the sides, typing and using the screen is more cumbersome as you hit the edge of that case that are higher then the screen. In other words the screen is not flush with the case. They did this to protect the screen if you lay the phone down.

- Getting the charge port to open is a pain in the neck -- very hard

- Makes the phone much wider then it is.

I also got the S-View case from Samsung and it's OK but flap won't stay closed all the way which sucks.
