Okay i see you do not understand, first what forum are you on "SAMSUNG GALAXY MEGA" right..that means any postings here is info they want to get on a samsung mega phone, that article you put a link to has nothing to do with a mega phone and if you look at the date of that article it is from 2002 which is before android phones even came out.

When you are trying to help other members please make sure the info you are posting is for the mega phone and also make sure the info is for the topic that the title shows for that thread as mis-leading info can cause some of the new members that have just got the mega to have their mega damaged or even bricked...not trying to be mean here..just make sure to give proper info for what model of the samsung mega that a member has and is asking for help on it. :fingers-crossed:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paggps:
Hello,

I have an S4 GT-I9500 and suddenly am having the "Not registered on network" issue. That is: I cannot receive or make phone calls and SMSs, all the rest of the phone is working OK (including Data Connection 2G/3G, which is confusing for me).

I am on stock rom Android 4.3, Baseband I9500UBUEMK1.

I think that the problem is related to the fact that a few days ago I have rooted the phone, and installed Titanium Backup to delete samsungs bloatware. However, after all deletions (I think that I have deleted only safe things), everything was working perfectly, but suddenly today I noted that I cannot receive or make phone calls.

I have read many many threads in this site, but I am still confused on what is the cause and the solution. I have checked the IMEI, and have found that the IMEI in the back of the phone is 3571****, and the IMEI reported by the phone´status is 35299****. I can´t understand what might have changed my IMEI.

I went with ES File Explorer in root mode to the beginning of the filesystem, and have found the EFS folder ... there are many folders and files in it.

I don´t have a previous backup of this EFS folder, but I have read that there are some cases that the IMEI is recovered doing some procedures...

Please help me !! I don´t have experience flashing ROMS or modems but if there is hope ...

Thank you very much.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asantand:
Something similar happened to me some weeks ago, but my case was different because I lost my imei but it was a generic one, (started with0049..) Everything was fixed when I installed a stock firmware through odin. Go to sammobile, download any firmware suitable for your model and flash it following these instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paggps:
Thank you for your answer. Do you think that is better to go flashing directly, or a factory reset should work also ?

Am I going to have any problems with the fact that the phone is now rooted, and (I think) with Knox in "non-stock" ?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asantand:
I don't think factory reset will work, I'd flash the firmware. Flash a stock one, through Odin.

As regards knox... If you rooted the phone you might have knox warranty void 0x1, it depends on the bootloader. When you enter in download mode you will find out. If you still have knox0x0 or nothing displayed it means that warranty void was not triggered. Anyway flash the same firmware that you have now. You can find it in sammobile web page. Hope it works!!!!!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paggps:
Well, finally I went with the phone to a repair technician who fixed the IMEI problem using a Octopus Box.

The reason the IMEI was altered is still unknown.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redlugia:
I have an iphone and a tether plan of 3 GB with T-mobile. I have added some patched carrier updates that allow pretty much any "mobile" traffic to tether for free, so I can tether android phones, android tablets, iphones, ipods, ipads, windows tablets (IE or user agent IE) etc.

Is there anyway I can hide it on Windows Phone without it counting against the 3 GB limit? Was looking at getting a Lumia 925 and selling my iphone if I could. I don't use too much data maybe 10 GB a month about half is from tethering other mobile devices. I just don't want to be blocked from tethering when I hit the cap.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Wired tethering doesn't seem to get tracked correctly, but it's also completely unofficial and requires some wrangling to set up (plus you need a PC with a USB port for the wire to connect to, though the PC can then broadcast a WiFi network for other mobile devices). There's an app in the store (tether-x) which can create a SOCKS proxy that your other devices can use, assuming they can set WiFi proxies. This isn't perfect, as some traffic won't get proxied and therefore either won't go at all or will go over the "real" tethered connection, but the proxied traffic such as web browsing and most apps will appear to be coming from the phone just like normal phone traffic.

[HTC One X] yash777:
Hi everyone,

I bought my One X last year. I was familiar with rooting and flashing before so I flashed a Sense ROM and then later switched to AOSP ROMs.

Now my battery doesn't even last 4 hours on 3g. I have tried turning all location off but even then I don't get past 6 hrs.

I bought a new original battery in October and still I have the same problems.

I have tried every kernel, every ROM, underclocking and everything one does to improve battery life but in vain.

I have tried the Volume Up+down and power button for 2 min trick which had worked on my previous One X but still nothing.

So does anyone know if this can be a hardware issue? My phone becomes a bit hot on 3g too with continuous use.

Any pointers?

Thanks

Phone says "Type password to decrypt storage". PLEASE HELP I'm out of ideas

I was running the new liquid smooth, when I rebooted my phone it booted up and then took me to a screen that says "type password to decrypt storage". I've never encrypted my storage and have no password.

I rebooted into TWRP to restore a backup, but it won't mount my internal storage and it says 0mb as if it's not even there. Then I tried to flash the GPE RUU, it sends the file but then when its time write it it won't mount the system. I also tried side loading the ROM and it won't mount either.

someone please help me.

EDIT: fixed the issue. Very simple actually. make sure you are bootloader unlocked and have TWRP as recovery.

Boot into recovery>Wipe>Format Data>type in "yes">Go to main menu>Install>check to make sure it says 'xxxxx mb' (x is a placeholder for numbers. for example, when i had my problem my internal storage said 0mb)>go to advanced>adb sideload>check both boxes>swype to start sideload>sideload the rom from your computer

This is also very helpful if you wipe your system and have no ROM to flash. Same steps apply

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] tmorterlaing:
Sorry to drag this thread from the depths of history, but I'm just wondering if anyone ever worked out WHY this happens? It's a massive pain in the ass (happened to me today, couldn't work out how I'd somehow added a storage password with the device in my pocket...)

Is it more likely to be a Rom thing or is it just an unfortunate side effect of rooting/ unlocking the phone?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] foxx22:
data

If I do this will I loose all my data? I recently got my screen fixed and when I got my phone back, I cannot access my info and it is asking for a storage decryption code. Will this help me?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] trandazzo1998:
Sorry if I didn't read one of the posts thoroughly enough, but my m8 is currently in that state, and since the fastboot setting was on "on" when my phone locked up, I can't get to the bootloader or recovery. Holding power and down doesn't work, nor does power and up. Is there another way to get back to recovery or something so I can re-flash? Please help! Thanks.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] trandazzo1998:
I found out how to get to the bootloader/ recovery without fastboot off in the settings. I waited for the phone to die and once it did I plugged it in. Then I held down the power and volume down buttons and it didn't fastboot because it had died. Hope this helps someone!

Hi, I am in a similar issue. Started a thread as well http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/htc-m8-encrypted-message-locked-boot-t3335383

But in my case , bootloader is locked, S-ON, and there is no custom recovery as TWRP etc. I have been trying all the options and it always boots up to that encryption message. Please give me some ideas... Thanks.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] suddug:
I am unable to unlock boot loader. I tried the HTC tool provided here on this site by Hansoon, can get to the phone saying will unlock boot loader screen by HTC and that trying this is risky, I select appropriate boxes and the phone reboots with system still locked, fast out screen still stating locked and restarts to dreaded " your phone is encrypted" password to decrypt and same cycle starts.

Tried using the adb tool, cannot see the phone through that. It gives me all the command to use but cannot get to the phone, although can see the phone in my devices as a MTP device. Once I even saw it as a Android device in my devices. Have spent good half of Sunday afternoon but no success.

Please direct. My phone is Sprint based and one evening when looked at it had the dreaded decrypt screen. I didn't do anything to get there.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Behold_this:
Your phone didn't encrypt itself! There's a reason you can't circumvent this security and really people should not be helping you try to do so in this forum.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] coal686:
I have to agree with Behold_this. If you are just trying to reset the phone to get it back to a usable state, then that is fine. In that case, you can try a factory reset, run the RUU, or do what's suggested in the link quoted. If none of that works, I don't know what you could try.

However, if you are trying to break the encryption leaving the data intact, then that is not allowed for obvious reasons (one of which is that one could break into someone else's phone without permission).

If you have any questions or concerns about the policy, please feel free to send me a PM and we'll discuss it further.

Thanks,

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] suddug:
Correctly said and I agree, I am not trying to break any encryption etc, just want the phone to be normal again, so it can be usuable. This is my sons phone, who has no idea about software, hardware issues, and one day showed this error. Whatever we do, I cannot bring this phone out of it. I have tried to unlock boot loader so I can get the original phone back but it won't unlock.

Once again, no foul play here, just need for it to start normally. At present had to get him to use an old phone that I had to get Sprint to activate in meantime.

Thanks, if you have a way please help direct .
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] coal686:
No problem. I wasn't making an accusation; I was just making sure the conversation was steered in the right direction. As for your issue, have you tried factory resetting the phone?

Dont give smart replies dude. ******* OEMs & Operators does all crap things to lock the HW we buy them paying times more than its price. I had the same problem one fine morning on my oustation trip. PATHETIC!! situation. It is sitting on my table as paper weight. Nothing could be done about it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MixedBoy8thStreet:
could someone post a file of their nandroid backup of the stock rom? flashable thru twrp please.

I tried flashing the OTA on a stock rooted rom with twrp installed and my phone didn't like that. (rookie mistake:silly:) now any restore, rom flash, wipe, ect . will not work and my phone boots straight into TWRP every time. So if you could give me your nandroid backup w/o any data, or if you have a better solution please give me that. thanks!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
We need more details really.

But if you can get into recovery, have you tried a factory reset? Then reboot.

We need to know your TWRP version, (KK or not), What ROM you were on prior, and what ROM's have you flashed since.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MixedBoy8thStreet:
Virtually Nothing Works

I was on the latest snapshot of CM11 and then i flashed LS970ZV9_DEODEX_STOCKROOT_1_13.zip

then i got the normal notification for the available OTA update (ZV9>>ZVB i believe) and i forgot that OTA's and custom recoveries don't work well together.

So I've literally wiped everything except for sd/data/media (or what ever holds all your photos and music ect) and I've tried restoring ALL my backups, nandroid wont ever work...

I believe installing a new recovery MIGHT work although I've tried two different versions of TWRP i had on my phone. (current TWRP v2.6.3.0)

Requesting:

1. Someone's NANDROID backup zip file with no data, obviously

2. CWM recovery for LS970 (lg optimus g) sprint

3. Drivers for XP PC to be able to access file system of my Optimus G
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dopy25:
If you are on a stock rom you should be able to use freegee through the play store and it can install CWM if that's what you want.

Have you tried reflashing a stock rom? Why did you flash the zv9 when the zvc is available? I would try flashing that in recovery, twrp should flash it.

There are a few other options as well. Check the brick recovery thread and it will lead you to a teeny bin, you can use the programs that are suggested there and it will flash a recovery and unlock.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2230106

I think you can also use fastboot to flash a different recovery and unlock.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MixedBoy8thStreet:
Yeah i tried reflashing all the roms i have on my phone:mad: and i tried the ZVB/C stock (deodexed) rom and they both failed flashing.

ZV9 was the only success until i tried that OTA. I'm downloading the CWM recovery zip file right now to flash in TWRP. could you tell me how i could move that file to my phone within TWRP? I have trouble finding out how to access the file system from my computer when my phone is in TWRP

Thanks for the quick replies!:good:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
That's what we needed to know.

I think the issue is your modem. ZV9 is for ICS. ZVB/C is for JB/CM/AOSP

So if you still have your recovery or any unlocked recovery, flash the ZVC modem from the teeny bin thread. Then I would suggest a Stockish Rom. That should get you going.

Ok, this might sound weird, but I have to brick my Rooted, S offed, GPE Converted M8. There'e no RUU yet for returning to stock, so how do I completely brick the phone?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Chromium:
Preheat oven to 350F. Bake for 5 minutes until it becomes golden brown in colour.

In all seriousness, I don't understand why you want to completely brick the phone. Am I missing something?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] MeatyCoins:
Just do a warranty swap, trust me when I say T-Mobile does not care for any of that (as long as you dont have an absurd splash screen or boot aniamtion)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] XxKINGxX2580:
Yeah Im trying to replace the phone with T-Mobile. I have to ship it to them, and I don't want them to find out I rooted the phone and voided the warranty.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] insanity213:
Try a 24 volt AC power adapter... Like from an old sprinkler timer. Strip an inch or so off the leads, jam one lead in the headphone jack and the other in the SD slot. Or go between the power port and the SD slot. Or some combination thereof. It oughta brick the hell out of it! I've roasted a few pieces of electronics that way.

Being this is a metal chassis phone, I might wear gloves when you do it. Or hook it up to an outlet with a light switch so you can remote control the fireworks.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Ark1406:
Orrr. Flash a ROM for a different phone. I bricked my S4 when I flashed a ROM for the Note 2. Wouldn't even turn on. It was hilarious man
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] lotzakritters:
Lmao, that would totally work, as long as it will let you flash it. Hmmm, good idea
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Ark1406:
It does! Just modify the updater script a bit. I accidentally flashed it and took it to a service center, they had no clue what went wrong. They ended up giving me a new phone. Or, just corrupt an M8 ROM
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] XxKINGxX2580:
How do I corrupt a ROM?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Chromium:
Easiest way to brick the phone would be to download a kernel from a completely different device, remove the assert check from the updater script, and flash it. Should brick the phone in no time.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Ark1406:
Don't know if it's possible since most recoveries verify the MD5. But editing the important files of the ROM may work. Or, is chrome said, download a kernel for a different phone. Or, a modem. But those will destroy your phone and there'd be no going back.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] XxKINGxX2580:
Yep, that's exactly what I want. For the phone to not even be able to get into bootloader mode.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] XxKINGxX2580:
I don't have to brick it now. I'll brick it when my replacement M8 gets here in a few days. I'll let you guys know what works/doesn't work. Please, feel free to offer any other suggestions.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Chromium:
Heres my other suggestion: Send the phone to me :D
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Ark1406:
Can you explain what you're doing? Are you bricking your phone to get a replacement through insurance, or warranty? I ask because I have some problems with my phone and may be interested in doing what you're doing
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] XxKINGxX2580:
I'm getting a replacement through warranty with T-Mobile. I called them and told them that the phone wouldn't turn on or display any LEDs, or anything, and that I already tried charging it. And they said that they would send me a replacement for $20. The $20 is to cover shipping to my house and from my house to them, so I don't mind it. But that's only if your phone isn't cracked or water damaged, exc. I do that if/when I hard brick my phones. This time it's because I ****ed up with flashing something, and now my phone doesn't get signal from T-Mobile, and since my phone is rooted, S-Offed, and on GPE RUU, I can't go back to complete stock until an RUU is available for the T-Mobile variant.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] XxKINGxX2580:
Sure i'll do that :laugh: ;)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Ark1406:
So, $20 is all you're paying? Do you know if you're getting a new, or refurbished phone? And please do keep us updated on what happens

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] XxKINGxX2580:
After flashing it, you can still get into bootloader mode. So, they can see it's S-OFF and unlocked.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] XxKINGxX2580:
Victory! (I think) It's better than nothing. I was flashing the GPE RUU, and in the middle of it, pulled the cord and powered it off manually by holding power and volume up. I doubt the people will know what to do. If not, correct me if i'm wrong! Now the phone has the HTC logo and 4 warning triangles on the 4 corners.
