[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hnk1:
Hello mate,

I had been tinkering by trying to unlock bands and I think I have been successful.

to go into Verizon hidden menu,

install : shortcut master lite from playstore.

then go into the app and search "LTE" or band etc

Locate select LTE band in the search

See if you can select any new ones ?

Profit ?

I couldnot add bands via this

If that doesnot work, then do this mod which works for me

BOOT Into TWRP and BACKUP your EFS partition in case you mess up something. MAKE SURE to do this step.

Install QPST and QPDX

http://d-h.st/qAy

http://www.mediafire.com/download/r1z2r6iu94habrp/QXDM-3.12.714-www.getdriver.com-.rar

Make sure you have all the drivers installed and usb dubbuging turned on

Type in these commands in cmd via adb setup already

1) adb shell

2) su

3) echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/lg_diag_cmd/diag_enable

4) setprop sys.usb.config acm,diag,mtp,adb

This would enable diagnostic port.

Go to QPST> BIN>QPSTConfig

Add new ports in case it doesnot show " surf9615" and "APQ8064" (our device board) from QPSTConfig

remember port which has APQ8064 value

Now go to QxDM>BIN>QxDM

and chose port which shows APQ8064 (com3 in my case; could vary)

Now go to NV browser mode in QXDM

just go to values 6828 and 6829

Read the values. Change the value and write them one at a time

change values from 4104 (Verizon baseband ) to "17592185995263" (or hex "0xFFFFFFF3FFF").

This should enable all basebands on your device that is supported by hardware.

Restart device. and you may check if after the restart if the values stick for 6828 and 6829 to be certain you did everything all right.

Use this app from playstore to see if new bands are supported

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.simplyadvanced.ltediscovery&hl=en

Good luck and get back to see which other bands you got.

For detailed information use this thread

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059

However on my LG g2, the values do not stick due to some anti tampering mechanism which I am trying to look into.

I guess I will go to some old modem and old custom rom to see if that helps.

PS : If you can tell me the values for these as I didnot backup my EFS via twrp. (got it via another device)

00441 0xFFFF

946 0xBFFF

1877 0

02954 4294967295

06828 4104

06829 4104

So, did anyone actually get the VK810 to work on AT&T??

I have one, running 5.0.2, and am trying to get it to work on Bell (Canada), which also uses LTE Band 4

I have tried all 3 stock roms (4.2, 4.4 & 5.01) with no success. It did work with tmobile in the US... but it would be much more useful if I could get it working on Bell.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surgeman:

I'm on 4.4 with verizon de and i'm planning to do the ota - where is the stock recovery? I guess I have to flash that first?
[Moto X Q&A] aviwdoowks:
You can take from the XML for your phone.
[Moto X Q&A] dray_jr:
the recovery files inside the SBF package that you download once youj download it you extract the files out of it in and there is your recovery image that's what you need to flash just make sure that you download the correct SBF package for your phone and make sure that you follow a guide to flash everything properly
[Moto X Q&A] aviwdoowks:
once you copy the "recovery.img" from the unzipped xml just use Recovery Tools from Play to flash it from home screen.

So I upgraded to the latest mr clean rom and did some tweaks with the registry Wizard. I was playing around with it for a while and turned it off to charge overnight. I wake up and try and turn it on and nothing. I've tried soft reset, and hard reset and it doesn't turn on or do anything. When I plug in my charger the light on my phone doesn't even come on. PLEASE HELP. WHAT CAN I DO!!!.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
It seems that you bricked you phone mate. I think that you installed MrClean rom in a G4 phone so you irrimediably f*cked up the bootloader (IPL and SPL). Many users have reported that their phones were able to boot (and behaved normally) immediatly after the flashing but were dead after they turned them off for the first time, this is what happened to you.

Only thing you can try is going to bootloader mode (but i think it won't work since you messed the bootloader) and then flash a new rom. To do this, press and keep pressed both the keys on the right side and then insert a pin in the reset hole briefly. If the phone goes to the tri-colors screen then you're safe, if not continue reading.

If your warranty perior is not yet over then you can have a new phone for free (DON'T tell them that you flashed an experimental rom!!! Tell only that it went off suddenly or that you were installing an official rom!).

Service centre can repair your device (i suppose they've some method to reflash the bootloader) but i don't know how much they'll ask you.

Try asking other users on this forum. Sorry!

bye

...did you ry to recharge it with the ----ORIGINAL 1A CHARGER----? looks stupid, but i resuscitated mine just before throwing it in the bin. if it works, i will explain you the rest....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dew1989:
yup, I tried charging it with the home charger and still nothing. My battery reads at 3v and it's supposed to be 3.8 so it's not out of juice, but maybe it's just dead?

Ok, i did that...and amazingly it turned on so I pluged it into the charger right away. Windows booted and about 20sec later the device turned off and won't charge again. So i tried again and the same thing happened. Do I need a new battery? TIA
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Yom:
This is waht you need:

http://www.thetravelinsider.info/phones/cellphonerecharger.htm

This charger is somehow wired weird... it charges the battery AND feeds juice to the phone at the same time (believe it or not, regular chargers and USB cables do not engage until the OS is loaded), allowing you to turn the phone on and in a few minutes plug it into the regular charger to continue charging. Just make sure you get the RAZR tip.

It has saved my ass more than once.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dew1989:
I fixed it :D, What I did was zap the battery with a 9v battery in 3 sec intervals, I did this about 5 times, then I pluged my phone into the charger and turned it on, the 9v gave it enough juice to boot up and the usb took over from there. So to everyone out there who is having this same problem, try this but don't over zap, check your battery with a multimeter.

im having the same problem----my MDA went dead last night because i forgot to charge the battery and then i went to plug it in the charger but the phone doesnt turn on no more...the light doesnt turn on like if it would be charging and i left it overnight and it still doesnt work..... do yall think that its the battery or is the phone just messed up and cant use it nomore????
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] nikikwok:
Last time I had my battery completely drained, it wouldn't charge from laptop via USB. I read something about how the device's "smart-charging" function itself needs a bit of power to start-up...

but anyways, I couldn't charge the battery through the phone (software charging) - what I had to do was to take a USB cable, cut out one end, identify the +/- (red/black) wires, and charge them directly to the battery's two poles (metal plates). It took about 10-20 seconds of charging until I had enough power in the battery to place it back in the phone, start WM5 and charge it thru the phone.

It would have been much easier if you have a battery charger.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] noobmda:
I had my phone connected to the computer through the usb cable, and I just left it connected for a week and it was completely dead and could not be turned on. I don't know how it drained the battery (probally by leaving the wifi on, but the computer was in use all the time). Anyway, thanks to this thread, I used the ac charger and it turned on.

I'm going to give this a go; a Crossbow ROM flash went horribly wrong last night and in my attempts to repair it (I also must have flashed at least 9 times) the phone went dead. It won't charge either, but battery voltage is 3.7 volts, and I'm sat here wishing it was 3 :-P

Will get back to you all!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] CrArc:
To update: no... it didn't work! I hooked the battery up to a computer power supply (nearest thing to hand) on 5v and 12v and the voltage increased to about 3.81V... I guess the battery is not the problem with my phone, though the symptoms were the same :-(

Any buttons I can press (i.e. like the voice command button for bootloader) to wake the damned thing up? It's probably fried.

Suggestion

My phone has a hardware problem with the on / off button (doesn´t work at all), at the beggining I thought it was a software problem and I tried all sort of tricks, then I gave up and recognized that was a hardware issue and I found 2 ways to turn the phone on 1) When is totally off (This happens when I have to remove the battery to change SIM card) I connect to the USB cable to my PC or to the car or wall charger and I make a soft reset. 2) When I see the phone signal led blinking I remove the memory card and wakes the phone up (not a good idea since I know that the card is going to get damaged sooner or later).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mrfoo:
I just got a G3 wizard from a friend a couple days ago. On Thursday I upgraded it to XDA Mobile 6 and left it on the 2.25.11 (I think) T-Mobile Radio that the T-Mobile 2.26 firmware flash put on it. I used it all day on Friday and then I held the power button and shut the phone completely off for 25 hours, but left it plugged in to a usb to 110V AC adapter that came with my Dell Axim X50V. On Saturday night I went to turn it on and it would not come on no matter what I tried. I found this thread and checked the voltage on the battery directly with a multimeter, 3.13V. I cut the head off a usb cable and then held the black and red wires to the positive and negative terminals on the battery for 2 minutes with the head plugged into a front USB port on my PC. The multimeter then read 3.7V. I put it back into the MDA and it turned on, booted and informed me that the battery was completely drained. I plugged it into the USB to AC charger and it read 10% battery on BatteryStatus. I have left it to charge and it is currently at 60%.

I guess the lesson here is to not totally shut the phone off and let it sit, or the battery won't charge, even plugged into my charger. I guess the OS needs to be running in suspend mode for the charging circuit to run. I know I won't turn it all the way off ever again unless I have my little plug thing and my laptop with me.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
(old) Nokia phones have a state called "Acting dead" (from service manuals) which takes place when phone is turned off and battery inserted. It means that the energy is flowing around the board so that the responsible hardware keeps waiting for a 'HIGH' signal ordering to turn ON the phone.

When batteries go bellow the 2.x volts they stop being charged by the phones. This is why i protect the battery terminals with tape when the phone is stored for some time and the reason why a lot of people thinks the phones are broken when not used for months. I usually use the 'freezer trick' where i leave the batteries inside the freezer all night and charge them next day.

just 2 cents...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mentalist:
My Wizard XDA got discharged over the weekend and wouldn't start up - after 12 hours on USB it still wouldn't start.

The charge tips saved my bacon - I modified a USB cable as per the instructions above, and used it to charge up the XDA battery - it only needed five seconds and the phone now boots!

Thanks All, great information!

My 2 cents...

If you're going to try the same, connect red usb to the +ve terminal of your battery and black USB to the -ve terminal of the battery. I'd suggest having a voltmeter to hand to check battery and supply voltage.

Disclaimer - the ablve worked for me, but I'm not responsible for anyone damaging themselves, their PC,their phone or anything else by using the above info!

MDA Battery Fixed

dew1989 posted a fix for the completely dead battery problem that worked for me.. I tried spliting a USB cable and charging the battery directly, as well as everything else. Eventually, I took a 9V battery hooked a wire to each end, and zapped the battery about five times for three seconds each. After this though, the only way I was able to get it to charge was to immediately connect it to a wall charger and turn it on. I tried everything else, and that is the only thing that worked. Thanks dew1989!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] matthill23:
Additional steps that worked for me.

I did the same thing (without a multimeter) just five times for three seconds each. It didn't work until I connected it IMMEDITATELY to a wall charger and turned it on. Then it started charging, go figure. Connecting it to my PC did nothing. I got it to turn on, but it never charged. The wall charger did the trick. Thanks to dew1989 for the idea.

9 v dc battery

This worked! Sweet! MY K-Jam was as dead as a doornail. Charger (2 different USB) wouldn't touch it. I had turned off the phone while it was in the charger. I was using my tilt instead of it. couple of days later went to unlock it and flash a new ROM and DEAD. This got it going enough for the USB charge to take over.:)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] oldide:
causes

I have had this happen twice both times I was charging an already half charged phone while the phone was off. Once was overseas and once was with a solar charger. I believe what happens is without the phones built in charging logic (protection) if the charging voltage drops below the 3.7 nominal voltage of the battery, It actually discharges the battery to a point where the battery no longer can power the phone. The remedies above all seem to work. As long as you can get the phone to come on, then quickly plug in the charger, it seems to charge up fine. The difficulty (design problem) appears to be that the phone will not turn on (boot) with the charger plugged in first, therefore you must have enough juice in the battery to turn it on and then plug in the charger. I believe the separate battery charger solution is the best. This allows you to remedy the problem as well as charge a second battery for emergency/extended use.
[Moto X Q&A] mmikeee:
Anyone have this issue where notifications don't appear in the status bar? For example, whenever I get a text, sometimes I get the icon in the status bar but whenever it flashes in active display and I don't do anything, it actually doesn't appear in my status bar, thus I don't realize I got a text until I decide to open the app later.

It happens whenever my phone gets notifications and I don't do anything about it. I see active display go off displaying the notification though.

Past PA 3.99 user here on the N4. Haven't even rooted/unlocked the N5 since I got it when the N5 was released. But the hover beta 1 pushed me passed the line to unlock and root the dang phone lol. I swore I was done with flashing dammit! :D

Now I have everything set up pretty much stock, but the wallpapers I use all resize on me. Is there a reason? Nothing force closes or anything, it just resizes and then reverts back to normal and can be recreated when in an app and then exiting to the homescreen or just by hitting the home button. Is there a fix for this? Kinda annoying but not a dealbreaker, coming from stock and knowing this is a beta. :eek:

EDIT: Please ignore my ignorance. This is caused by wallpaper wizardrii due to scrolling settings.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheesey:
Alright so this problem arrives roughly a week ago. I was hoping it'd be gone by now, but nope. Worse than ever.

For reference. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505. Unlocked LTE international version.

Roughly 2 months ago I rooted and flashed the Echoe a kitkat rom v18. I also have Philz recovery flashed....

My sim card keeps disconnecting while I'm not even using my phone. It doesn't even have to be moving. It just happens. I'll get a message from my phone saying that the sim card has disconnected and to restart to fix the problem..... This rarely works, as when I reboot, I get the error of no sim card.... its really started to get on my nerves. I doubt it's the sim card, as there's never been any problems with it. I will take it into my carrier today and have it swapped out for a new one.

I've seen this problem happen to other people on these threads,yet no answer has arrived. I've reset tp factory etc blah blah blah. I've even uninstalled the last 30 new apps I've installed, and the problem has yet to sort itself. I've tried taping the sim card, putting paper on the top and reinserting. Everything. It hasn't had any major drops for about 4 months so I doubt that is the issue. Only time it's dropped is when I drop it onto my bed....

Has anyone else had this problem? Have a fix? I can't stick it back under my warranty as I've flashed the recovery and rom... voids it does it not?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

So I've replaced the microsim with another microsim (both were originally microsims). .. unresolved. Nothing has happened for the past couple of days until it happened yesterday... now nonstop again. I know it's not the sim because it happened even after I replaced it. It just had a couple of quiet moments. Now I suppose my next try is for replacing the sim tray myself. Fingers crossed. Also. No, I wouldn't know a clue on how to even get my logs. Haven't even thought of it. I'll do that when I next get the problem and am forced to reboot. Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheesey:
Okay so I've found something possibly helpful. I've only just noticed that this usually happens when my battery hits 100%. I've removed all apps that tell me my battery info..... I hope that was the cause. I'll update tomorrow.

[LG Thrill 4G] acem77:
My LG Thrill was rooted I had cwm 6.0.1.5 installed , I backed up my phone with cwm to get a current copy of my data. I then tried to restore and older back up that failed.

I tied to restore my phone with lg mobile tools.

It starts but fails because my phone keep getting redetected in device manager on my windows 7 pc causing the lg tool to lose its connection around 10%.

I tried to use cwm to restore the same zipped image of my phone containing the .bin and .fls that I used for lgs mobile tools

That failed.

I requested support from app developers that bricked my phone, they said I should be able to fix my phone if i rename a file “egl.cfg.mybackup” to “egl.cfg” Contained in /system/lib/egl'

So I restored my boot looping backup, but adb could not detect the device, I edited the adb_usb.ini to contain my phones usb device id. That did not help. So now I can’t edit the file name on the device.

I tried to edit the egl.cfg file in my back up in the system.ext4.tar restore file.

But when I went to restore it I got the md5 error….

So then I cleared all data in the nandroid.md5, that got around the md5 error.

Now cwm will reset at the same system\network\ file during the backup restore.

At that point cwm starts to restart a lot during another tasks..

This is such a pain….

Does anyone have some advice or know of any tools that could help thanks.
