Thanks for that. But I have no problem with modifying the extended ROM. What I wanted to know was is there a way that when a CAB file is run from extended ROM it will be installed to the device/Storage card and be registered, withour having to enter anything during installation.

I guess I could look for the Registry entries and make those into a CAB file, I wondered if the program installation CAB could be mofified in any way??

A friend of mine got this phone after his iPhone 4 got stolen (I'm trying to convert him) and he asked to get the latest firmware so naturally I began to root and installed TWRP on his device (he got a used one that's on HBOOT 2.09) but after he said he doesn't care if it's rooted. I tried to update it through the settings on the phone but, naturally after forgetting about that, it just boots into the recovery. Can I just update it through the RUU or will that bring on complications?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] detcup4evr:
You can use ruu. The ota won't get you the latest firmware, if your HTC dev unlocked I believe you need to lock it before running ruu. If your going to want root/custom recovery I would recommend getting soff it makes things easier from a support perspective.

So many times my friends ask me if I can fix their issue and a lot of my suggestions usually require root.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gstanke:
Just to add to this if you are s-off you do not have to relock your bootloader
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LemonNinja:
How would I relock his bootloader again? It's just a cmd prompt like fastboot oem lock right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gstanke:
Yes. But I would strongly recommend gaining s-off before ruu. S-off is rather easy to do, either Rumrunner or firewater will work. Then ask you have to do is ruu and install twrp and rom of your choice.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LemonNinja:
I was going to S-Off it then update but since he's on 2.09 the only S-off method requires Ubuntu and I just didn't want to deal with downloading Ubuntu, dual booting, installing drivers again, then doing the process since my internet is unholy slow (It took like 2 hours just to download the RUU for 4.3)

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] eng3:
I've been running low on space quite often when updating or adding certain large apps so I moved many apps to SD. I've been running the C11 nightlies and had alot of problems with them lately (lots of random reboots) so I tried flashing back the last snapshot (M5 I think). It really screwed things up so I reflashed one of my full backups which was even older. This worked fine and I was able to flash back up to the latest snapshot.

Here's the problem, android doesnt know about many apps that are on my SD card since I noticed many apps (that I had added after the last backup) were missing. I re-installed them, but now there's a mess with a bunch of orphaned apps on my SD card.

Is there a way to identify these and clean things up?

If you have not unlocked your bootloader then try using Sony update service (SUS).Just google for it.If in case you still face problem then I suggest you to use flashtool by Bin4ry to flash ur stock firmware ,not the Emma tool by Sony. Btw you have not mentioned whether your phone is rooted or not.Anyway Here is the link to the flashtool.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meadowsjared:
I currently have a Nexus 5 (I was previously using it through MetroPCS), however I recently ordered a "Tablet (data-only)" sim card from T-mobile and tried to get it working. At the time, the T-mobile rep told me that it SHOULD work. However, after running around in circles for a few days with them, I've finally found out that it does not work (...YET!).

When I try to get the Nexus 5 to use this SIM card, it just keeps giving me a "Sign into network" notification, and never lets me use any data. (and no amount of signing into my account from my phone has helped)

According to the T-mobile rep, "this SIM card will ONLY work with a tablet". However, this is Android, and there's not much difference between a phone, and a tablet. There must be some kind of setting I can change to get my phone to think it's a tablet, or at least to get it to use this tablet-only sim card!

So I'm wondering what do I have to do to trick my phone into using this data-only sim card?

Things you may need to know:

I'm already rooted

I'm running stock Android 4.4.2

Lastly, because I'm sure people will ask: "Why do you care?, why don't you just get a standard phone-sim card?!?"

So, preemptively, here is my answer: "Because, they're giving me a data-only plan for $10/month! (and $20/month after the first year). AND, if I were to switch to a phone plan, the CHEAPEST they will allow me to have is $50/month, which is HUGE! That's a $40 difference per month!"
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
"However, this is Android, and there's not much difference between a phone, and a tablet. There must be some kind of setting I can change to get my phone to think it's a tablet, or at least to get it to use this tablet-only sim card!"

this is wrong. they absolutely know that youre using a tablet, and a bunch of other things about your device as soon as it connects to their network. in order for them to let your device use their network, they need this info. and wont let any device connect to their network without the proper info. the network isnt some generic highway of data, its owned by tmobile, and only gives access to it if tmobile allows it.

anyways, i have a question, how much data do they give you for $10 a month?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meadowsjared:
They give you 1GB of data for $10/month, however it jumps to $20 after the first year. Seems pretty cheap to me. :)

I'm still holding out hope that there must be some sort of hack, or maybe editing my build.prop or something like that to trick it into believing it's a Nexus 7 or something :-\
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
na, wont work, build.prop edits. there are other files it reads, not the build.prop. it also creates files in root. which is funny, when you delete them, they reappear within 5 minutes. plus there is stuff in our radios as well, that tmobile reads, that we cant get to.

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------

anyways, $10 then $20 for 1gb data is not very cheap! lol, i use 1gb data within 2 days on my nexus 5(lte) :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meadowsjared:
What about changing the IMEI number? I believe that can be done, and I know when I was talking with a service rep, he was talking about how their system was registering my IMEI number. Maybe that's how they know it's a Nexus 5 and not a tablet? :-\

Also, you mention that 1GB/month for $10/month isn't cheap? (btw it's 1GB for $10, 3GB for $20, 5GB for $30) How do you figure? I know you're saying you can burn through it in a day, I'm sure I could too streaming netflix or something! :p That isn't the point though. Can you find a cheaper standalone data plan elsewhere? If so, where? I'd love to know :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meadowsjared:
I have found some hope!

After doing further research, I found this article, which supports my IMEI theory.

http://www.cnet.com/news/using-a-tablet-sim-to-turn-a-smartphone-into-a-data-only-device/

In fact, according to the article, if I can find somebody with a 4g enabled tablet, I should hopefully be able to stick my sim card into their device, activate it, then pop the sim card back into my device, and hopefully that will work. (In the article she states that it works with verizon, wont work with at&t, and may, or may not work with T-mobile.)

Sadly, I don't believe I know of anybody with a 4G enabled tablet. Therefore my only option I know of would be to find a way (using root of course), to spoof, or change my IMEI number, which I'm sure should prove to be extremely fun! :silly:

Now I'm off to research that and I'll report back here what I find. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigidazzi:
Just go into the store with your sim and pop it into one of their tablets to activate it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meadowsjared:
That's not a bad idea, thanks!

Although, what I might do, just to be thorough (and if the sales rep is watching me like a hawk, since they might not like me shoving my SIM into the demo unit), is go into one of the stores and instead, write down the IMEI number of one of their tablets (which would be simple to just pick up the tablet, and go to settings>about device>status), and then, make my phone's IMEI number match that. That way I think it's less likely to have problems (it's possible that if the IMEI number changes, that will cause them to turn the service back off).

I dunno, I might try my thing first, and then, when that doesn't work, I'll try the more invasive, sticking my SIM in their tablet. Thanks for the idea :laugh:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meadowsjared:
It's finally over!

Ok thank you for trying to help me but I finally resolved this problem.

Previously it was caused by a t-mobile rep having me order a tablet-only sim card for my phone.

I WAS going to try and change my IMEI number to match a tablet because (and I still believe) that would have tricked t-mobile into thinking my phone was a tablet, however, after much digging I have found the following which A: suits my needs, and B: no longer requires any trickery

I'm going with the T-mobile prepaid $30 unlimited text and data plan. With that you get:

100 minutes (10 cents a minute thereafter)

Unlimited Text

5GB of data, thereafter they throttle you, just like anybody else does

all for $30 bucks a month. BUT, you have to have a phone that you own, it can't be something under contract etc.

It is WAY more data than I need, but it's the cheapest they offer so I'll take it! :)

I should note: you MUST get your SIM card from Walmart if you're going with this plan, just FYI

Thanks again for trying to help me. :)
