Hello, forum! :)

I have an issue with my Sprint m7. I inherited it with problems, but I'm afraid I might have made them worse. I have been trying to SIM unlock this phone for days now and I keep hitting snags. Well, in a drunken frustration one night recently, I seem to have done a wipe in TWRP and deleted some rather important partitions without making a backup. Now my room smells like shame :(

Anyway, I was hoping I could find some help on these forums. I want to reformat the partitions and flash a ROM to get this phone up and running again. I was following [MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION]'s responses to a similar problem here. However, his solution to the issue was for m7_u and m7_ul only. The partition identifiers are apparently different for Sprint, VZ, and Dual SIM. I was hoping that maybe someone could walk me through the steps or offer some sound advice on getting this brick up and running again. I would like to reformat the partitions and simply push a rom and install through CWM as that seems like the only option now.

I tried flashing a stock recovery and factory reset, but recovery simply won't load regardless of the option I choose in the bootloader.

Before the wipe, I had ADB and FASTBOOT access across the board, but now the only place I can get ADB access is through CWM recovery. TWRP does not load anymore after the wipe (splash, then cut to black, then bootloop). CWM works, but it seems like every time I try to do something, I get an error with mounting /system or /cache

Please help if you can! Thanks! :victory:

Okay, this version of TWRP works now thank you! :) adb commands work and no more crash to bootloop! Wipe successful. Working on ROM load now.

no, the mkfs file is the same. however this:

C:\Users\Akuma\Desktop\Root>adb push ARHD_31.6.zip /data/media/0/
failed to copy 'ARHD_31.6.zip' to '/data/media/0/': Is a directory

disturbs me

.... are you sure, that

1- you have a m7_wls recovery?

2- /data must have been mounted since you used "mount /data", otherwise i could understand the error

what does "mount" (in the adb shell) show?

so the push worked, and installed the ROM?

The ROM installed, but this time, instead of getting hung on bootloop (@ white HTC screen), it played the HTC One w/beatsaudio video and then hung up on me.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] nkk71:
for how long? you know the first boot can take anywhere from a few minutes to 15 minutes.

my personal experience (m7_ul)... after a clean flash (ie wiping userpartition during the installer, and before rebooting wiping dalvik & cache [a bit redundant, but i do it anyways]):

during the first bootup, the screen brightness changes after 3~5 minutes, then i know i'm not in a bootloop, and wait another 5~20 minutes.... more than 20 minutes (as in... "i left it overnight") is unreasonable.

actually that looks good, and looks like TWRP recovery, both /data and /sdcard are mounted

Understood, reflashing ROM just in case, then I'll go edge the yard :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] wpetestraw:
Well, that's what I get for being impatient. ROM installed ok, looks like she's good to go. Any special advice on gaining S-off or should I just give rumrunner a shot now?

Hi everyone,

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] graycd01:
A friend upgraded his phone to the note 3 and gave me his At&t note 2. I am with Tmobile. I am going to have it unlocked. I want to root it and flash a rom to it. Since its was on At&t network do I flash it with a rom from the At&t section or Tmobile section? If i am missing anything else that is required other than which section to use for rom flashing please feel free to inform me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] seejeremy:
You can flash just about any rom from the AT&T section because most do not flash over the modem you have installed. I believe the DN3 rom is the only exception to this rule. For AOSP based roms, you can flash any of the roms here. You may also want to check the N7105 XDA area because it has more options than the TMO Note 2 section.

Bajan will probably add more clarification here because he has a TMO and AT&T Note 2 and visits all 3 forum areas.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aaroncrooks14:
save some Dough!!

I have a AT&T i337 lost service then went to local cell store.. Switched to Met==PCS.. 60/month unlimited data.. Plus they are on the T-Mobile network just as good just cheaper.. I haven't been throttled at all that I can tell...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] PUTALE:
I have the ATT Note 2 and currently using it with TMo and I am getting LTE speed and HSPA+ on the reform 1900 area. You don't have to do anything with the modem as long as you have it unlocked. I have only been using ATT based rom on my phone. And everything works, MMS, data, call etc. I do encounter some issue where it hangs while pulling data (not too often) but for most part it works great. I either just have to turn the network on/off or just a restart. I do not use any of the Tmo software like visual voice mail or wifi calling (as you won't be able to use it with any of the ATT ROM).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheDougTechCrew:
I have a One X on T-Mobile from AT&T and so far everything is great. Just have to be in a 1900 MHZ or LTE area to get high speed data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ojai00:
I also have the i317 on T-Mobile. I am using the latest MK6 modem for the i317. You can also optionally perform the AWS Mod to enable 4G on the 1700MHz band. Whatever you do, make sure you do not flash a modem meant for the T-Mobile Note 2 (T889) or you will end up with a brick. As was already mentioned any of the ROMs in the Development section will work for this device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SpiffySelf018@yahoo.com:
You can flash it with a rom from Tmobile Section

Hi guys !

I own an LG L9 ver. II and recently i got and update from the manufacturer at 4.4.2 . I had 4.3 stock and it was rooted.

I updated my stock to 4.4.2 (with root on it) and now i cannot access Google Services of any kind.

When i looked in APPS settings i found that all my google services and apps are now ( SIT DOWN ! ) from 20/01/1970 !!!

I have SuperSU , but i don't have the binary anymore....i saw on some forums that i can edit "hosts" file , but now if i cannot root it at 4.4.2 how should i get rid of this problem ?

I called google service and i talked with them for about 2-3 hours for nothing...they just put me thru some basic troubleshooting....

Please help me ! i have this problem for about 1 week...

P.S. I cannot enter with my account on Google Services neither create a new one . Reason: Can't establish connection with google services.

Thanks ! :D

First off, make sure the system date and time are correct (Settings / Date & Time). If they are, then you'll want to check out this thread for info on how to reinstall 4.4.2 with the kdz file, or you can go back to 4.3 with the correct kdz, then root, recovery, and flash a pre-rooted KK rom.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nixonik:
Hello, I have a P5100. I had some problems with the EFS folder, and I think I made a mess.

Before I saw the mount /efs in recovery mount, now disappeared, and when I try to restore the imei with nav_data.bin does not work.

Could someone help me?

I can still see the folder / efs, but looking at the partitions I only see these:

./adb shell mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)

I can recreate it? How?

Once rebuilt, I have an old copy of the EFS folder that contain the files:

FactoryApp
imei
nv_data.bin
redata.bin
wv.keys
bluetooth
nv.log
nv_data.bin.md5
wifi

Could you tell me the exact steps to take to get back the imei correct?

HELP :) Thank you.

Just a quick note to all new TyTn / M3100 / Vario II / V1605 owners.

I, like you guys, need to buy a MicroSD memory card :roll:

I was looking at ebay to buy one as I have bought memory cards before for good prices, but found amazon are actually cheaper than ebay!

1GB cards on ebay are going for around £26-£30 plus £6 postage.

Just bought one from amazon (Sandisk) for £23.59 including supersaver delivery.

Just though this might help someone save a few quid!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] trentend:
By the time you've added delivery (€8,90 within germany, and €12,40 within the EU) these are relatively unremarkeable prices.

Around about £22/£23 delivered seems to be the going budget price for a 1Gb microSD.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] ghl10000:
But the offers you can find in Geizhals are not yet on stock anywhere.

BTW:

Who of you already uses a 2GB MicroSD Card in a TyTN ?

I'd be really curious whether it works or not and if so whether it works well.

There is a Taiwanes (?) manufacturer, who already ships 4 GB *MINI* SD Cards (note: MINI not Micro).

I could well use it in my Qtek 8300 Smartphone (which I often also use as an alternative to a USB stick).

Yet there is a report on the net of someone who has ordered it and found it just shows 2GB on the 8300, but 4GB in a card reader.

So the card is ok, but cannot be read by the mobile !

Problem is that the built-in card reader as well as the driver file has to be able to cope with these large memory cards.

With the normal (full-size) SD Cards there seem to be a spec-barrier at 2GB. There are 4GB cards that can be read in some but not all devices. In most of the devices, which can read them it lasts much longer to access the file directory (e.g. in my Casio Exilim cam :-(

I don't know anything (neither do I have trusted feedback) about the compatibility of 2GB MicroSD cards in PDAs (not to speak of the TyTN).

So I am keen to find out here soon :)

I purchased a Sandisk Ultra II (high speed) 1gb from buy.com for $39.99 shipped after rebate in anticipation of ordering my TyTn....Too great of a deal to pass up considering that the Ultra II has almost double the read/write speed of the standard microSD.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] marcusjt:
That TotallyMobile card looks tempting, but I'd love to know whether there's a significant performance difference between normal vs Ultra II MicroSDs when in use on a HTC Hermes/TyTN. Anyone have any reviews covering this (or on a similar HTC device)?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] daddyo:
@ marcusjt

looking at the post from iboj007 it looks like there is a performance improvement as you would expect.

I suppose 2Gb ultraII cards are on their way but how long? then there will be a 4Gb standard card and then there will be a 4Gb ultra II just round the corner etc etc
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] iboj007:
I noticed that ultra II vs normal in miniSD on the Wizard often made the difference in playback of mp3's and videos from the memory card. I would imagine the same would be the case for the tytn.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] trentend:
I bought this:

1 Gb from ebay

Paid on monday, arrived this morning (four working days). Am currently loading stuff on to it for my visit to Croatia next week.

One thing I have noticed is that it's very easy for the memory card to stick in the reader (on the phone) rather than ejecting with a further press. If you take the back off the phone, and remove the battery, you can see the card reader slot (complete with metal cover) alongside the sim card. In the top left corner of this cover is a small square hole into which the stylus point can be inserted to slide a stuck card forward. I find tweasors most useful for gripping and removing the card.

I hope that helps somebody - it took me a while to figure out.

SanDisk 1GB MicroSD not working after 4days!!!

Hi Everyone!

Just to let you know that I suspect a similar problem with the M3100 as I had with my M600. Seeing as the phone as is new, I doubt anyone has been using their microSD cards for longer than a few weeks. My M600 and M500 had problems with recognising the SD cards (sometime, not always) and now this with my brand new M3100 and SanDisk... Wondering if its maybe a wide spread problem... else I should be Jinx in the next Bond movie!

I just received my TyTn and a 2GB card today. Delivery timing was perfect. I loaded some mp3's and some video on the card to test things out. The card was recognized the first time, but after I took it out and reloaded some mp3's it would no longer be recognized by the TyTn. I tried my smaller 16mb microsd and it worked just fine.

I tried doing a soft boot as others had suggested but that also did not work.

My Microsd card was formatted from the factory in FAT32. I reformatted it on my PC in just FAT and now it has worked flawlessly since.

This is my first time using WM5.0 and I had thought they would have done a better job with windows media player. Playback of audio and video is great, but it is so lacking in features compared to other programs.

Moby Memory 2GB Transflash card

Just received my 2GB Transflash card yesterday and I'm pleased to say it works very well indeed. I haven't noticed any performance issues and have loaded/installed over 15 full games, 13 applications a couple of movies and loads of MP3s and all perform to almost complete satisfaction. I say almost, because I find movie playback less fluid when resuming playback from scrolling/fast forwarding through the movie, compared to Exec, Vario I and the Prophet. But I believe this to be more software oriented than the cards reading speed. TomTom works flawlessly and accessing photos in albums/folders of no less than 40 pictures, very fast indeed.

Happy camper here.

It came formatted as FAT32 and was easily recognised by my VarioII and Multi card reader (cheapo at that!).

Bought my card from Moby Memory @ £59.00 incl. VAT.

I know quite a bit about android but one thing that i never took the time. To learn about was the modems/radios I'm on task650s latest aokp 4.4.2 with the MDL baseband I've seen throughout the forums people talking about NB4. My question is, should I update it to NB4 , and is it safe?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Some people say they get better data speed etc from NB4. If you like your data speeds now, stay where you are.

Its pretty safe. World isnt perfect. I have flashed (with Odin) all the modems with not a single issue.

If for some reason your data gets worse from NB4, you can always flash back to MK2.

Hope this helps.......
