Did you not read anything in the TowelPieRoot thread? The answer to why you can't get root to stick is in that thread. The answer to your question is unlock your bootloader.

I was running Sling 2 perfectly without any network error . Yesterday i flashed Superlite vdt and i liked that rom since it was faster than Sling. Issue i noticed was network won't work in 2G only mode and phone would not recognize network. 3G was working fine but once ill be out of 3G coverage phone will lose signals with No service or Emergency calls only . I flashed E975 h modem but it did not work. After that i flashed F180 k modem but it resulted in Service disable . Finally i restored my previous EFS backup and hurray it went fine . Very strong signals on 2G and 3G both. So if any one is facing this issue just flash your phone's respective modem and after that restore EFS . Enjoy .

Dear Ahmed Senior,

I just admire you always for your help and thanks a lot from heart for this beautiful post and solution.

Actually, I didnt back up EFS till from the first time i update the lh f180. Now can you please inform when i should backup my EFS, after flashing jellybean or after flashing the modem. Or is there any EFS backup from original rom for F180k in the thread that help me out.

Thanks lot in advance.

Regards
[LG Optimus G (International)] Ahmed Xperia p:
If imei number is not visible you can't make any backup. Efs is specific to phone so it's difficult for you to get it.
[LG Optimus G (International)] clickanu:
Your message mean that My phone is only suitable for 4G now...Not working in 3G :( as i have no imei.

But when i was reflashed my phone through LS970 and press *#06# then i found a serial. But in Phone settings IMEI = 0. The LS970 rom is icecream sandwich rom and it was CDMA. But I am in GSM/3G. Is there any way to solve the problem Dear. Please suggest me

Regards.

Smae problem but didn't backed up EFS before signal lost

Dear Ahmad bhai i am having the same problem as yours,,. but in my case i didn't backed up EFS before flashing VDT Rom.. my IMEI is fine shows same imei as my sim jacket on *06# receiving 3g signals in my city area but I live in a village so not getting any 3g signals here... this is what i have tried..

1. Flashed KDZ 4.4.2, 4.1.2 no improvement

2. Flashed several modems (flashing F180k gives me no signal) all thaht i could find in flashable form

3. Tried flashing several roms CM11, 10.2, Carbon 4.4.2, tried tinybin recovery via LGNPST

4. tried several sim card zong, warid, ufone, telenor, mobilink none works...

Please help me my mistake was that i didn't backed up my EFS when phone was working fine i too it's backup after the problem occurred...

Right now i am on Sling 2.2.2 using my phone as a PMP... Please help me!!!1 i am waiting for your response
[LG Optimus G (International)] Ahmed Xperia p:
If IMEI number is being shown i think no need to worry . Just make a backup of your EFS flash modem for your device i, i guess you have F180 k,and after that restore your EFS. It should work fine.Actually you need to restore EFS backup even if IMEI number is being shown.
[LG Optimus G (International)] zeexhan:
Yes i have F180k, I did as you said but still no signal even now it does not find any network at all.. here is what i did tell me if i did anything wrong..

1. Made an EFS back up using Freegee

2. In recovery mode wiped cache/dlvik

3. flashed modem of F180K for 4.4.2 Roms

4. Reboot restored EFS partition.

5. Rebooted after restoring EFS

Still no signal what I did wrong? can you share the modem that you flashed and how do you back up your EFS via Freegee or any other mean?? and how you flashed the modem??

I am not using VDT rom but Sling 2.2.2 can this be the problem??
[LG Optimus G (International)] Ahmed Xperia p:
I am myself on Sling 2.2.2. Never used Fregee for EFS I'll share you Modem which i flashed and procedure for backing up EFS.

Flashing your modem gives me null IMEI i am on sling 2.2.2 should i flash 4.4.2 modem or any modem will work... flashed another modem and it worked fine gave m IMEI but no network what i did wrong ???

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ap03xoz60p3g612/error.png

is this normal or am I the only one getting these things empty?? flashed as many modems as i could get my hands on... but no luck :/
[LG Optimus G (International)] Ahmed Xperia p:
Hope you made backuo of EFS and you restore it after flashing modem ?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Ahmed Xperia p:
It's ok i also flash this way
[LG Optimus G (International)] zeexhan:
but i still have no signals... maybe this is because u took your backup before the problem and i took it after the problem :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] atsimeri:
We discussed it thoroughly with Ahmed here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2789923

Be aware my friend that it's not a modem or baseband thing. You (and me) didn't back up our WORKING efs so flashing the wrong patch or rom messed up our efs so EVEN IF IMEI I SHOWN our efs is not working as it should any more. You need a working efs which it seems everyone is afraid to share. That's all.
[LG Optimus G (International)] zeexhan:
Can you share that Malysian efs that u were talking of in the oother post?
[LG Optimus G (International)] atsimeri:
Of course my friend. You've got inbox
[LG Optimus G (International)] zeexhan:
It worked for you? Well i've seen many many f180k facing the same problem.. Over lgveit there is some kind of solution but can't understand the translation how it will work :(

Btw thank you for the share...
[LG Optimus G (International)] atsimeri:
Yes it worked perfectly just for the 2g signal. It was nice and strong. No 3g however. Please notice that you MUST have your imei changed after the efs restore on order to assume that it did well. If your imei is unchanged then the efs restoration did not complete.

By the way I have an E975 not an F180
[LG Optimus G (International)] zeexhan:
Try it with different modem i will report if i get all everything fine...

I have a new app out, Life Time Alarm Clock, it was released 2 weeks ago, but just started picking up traction yesterday. When it was first released, I noticed that a really oddly high percentage of downloads was from Android 4.4 devices. My other app is downloaded by only 38% 4.4 devices.

Now that my app has picked up traction, being on five review sites, it is still getting a lot of 4.4 devices - 82% to be precise. Not that I'm complaining that I'm getting a lot of users with newer phones, but it just seems odd to me. I do get a trickle of 4.0 through 4.3 devices.

Anybody know what's going on? I'm worried that I'm excluding a lot of 4.0 through 4.3 devices, but I'm not sure how that could be.
[App Stores] mattcorby:
To add to that, I just noticed that the top devices that have downloaded my app are:

Nexus 5

Moto X

Nexus 4

And not until 4th place does the Galaxy S4 show up. How is that possible? Samsung phones are by far the most popular, now I'm really worried that somehow I've excluded a lot of the most popular phones somehow.
[App Stores] condu32d9:
I'm not a Samsung user. Maybe they haven't heard of your app yet so you need to spread your app to Samsung users. Besides it's better to gain a lot of downloaders from other devices rather than a few that are interested.

On my non-rooted P600 if have three wifi networks showing up as available and in the area. My device must have seen them while in my car because I recognize one of them from a nearby business.

The only problem is that these networks show up and as available even when I am miles away. Could it be that hidden networks are showing these names instead of just saying "hidden network" or is my device thinking they are still around for some reason.

Edit: Also of note is that these networks have MACs of all zeros. My Note 3 does not see them and neither does my laptop.

For starters, my SGH-T999 is currently running the S3Rx rom.

I recently came across http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2057344 this thread regarding different mods. My rom already had the other 3 mods taken care of, so I wanted to take care of the last one: Removing throttle when I'm over my data cap.

I followed the instructions and decompiled the classes.dex and got to the directory where ThrottleService.smali should have been located, but that file wasn't there.

What does this mean? Does this mean that I won't have throttled service if I were to pass my data cap, or does it mean that I won't be able to apply the mod and have my data throttled?

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
That was probably an ICS mod. Seriously doubt there is any way to avoid getting throttled. If there is, it would be MUCH different now. Chances are, its handled mostly on T-Mobiles side now anyway.

Hi I'm new to the whole root thing but I'd like to give my 5 cents as well as one question (This is especially for the Awesome producer of Dynamic 3.2 ROM)

I have a Originnaly Unlocked Note 3 N900a NC2 that after kit Kat update was pretty much ruined... Finally towelroot came, installed it then after rooting I downloaded busybox and safestrap 3.72 and finally Dynamic 3.2 Custom ROM. I fooled all the online instructions and now my phone feels so much better. The custom rom works flawlessly no doubt about it but , obviously there's gonna be a bit lol , one of my main issue with kitkat was that my 4G was totally ruined my speed test was giving the lowest numbers ever... Now this custom it's perfect but when I go on APN settings I can't access APN type because the ROM has 3 default settings: mms/internet/internet+mms and apparently for Straight Talk I think we are supposed have our own settings like " default,mms,supl,agps,fota,dun,hipri,entitle" this is just one example. Now my question is finally is there a way to work around this so I can type my own settings? Is there a set specific apn settings for Straight talk on this ROM? And finally for some reason my speed test only shows me servers from Florida and I am in NY and can't find any NY severs could that be the problem too? I just really need some Apn settings and an app to decrease my battery drain.

TO CONCLUDE ANYONE THAT HAS MY MODEL DEFINITELY GET TOWELROOT IT'S GENIUS. DO T FORGET TO DONATE!!!

PLEASE SOMEbody HELP ME thanks

Hi all

A couple a weeks ago i've downloaded a rom ported from Note3 to W200s @ needrom.com [W200S_N3.zip].

It seemed to be a nice one, until i tested the Torch app. As i opened the app and on the flashlight, turned the back of the phone to me, i watched clearly the flashlight dimmed before my eyes.

At first i didn't care much about it, just thought that when i flashed my twrp backup it would all back to normal...

But no... The flashlight is dimmed since then, despite all my attemps....

Here you so, some of my fails :(

- Flashed StockROM - Still dimmed

- Flashed all the W200S ROMs available - Still dimmed

- Edit the scatter-file to include hidden partitions

misc.img, pro_info, seccfg, expdb, protect_f, protect_s

Got a hold at another w200s, backup those partitions and flashed them all... Still dimmed

Right now, i'm running out of ideas...

But, before i send my phone to replace the flashlight LED, i'm creating this thread as my last hope...

I know there's other users out there that happend this, i saw their reports on the site...

However, the user who posted the ROM, deleted it. So the issue was silenced....

Plz, lets gather here and try to find a fix for this issue... if there is one...

Thanks

-Flashed all the W200S ROM's available - Still dimmed

after reading your post i've made some research and came up up with this:

So it seems to be possible to change the brightness of the flashled.

Of course this info is for a competely diferent device with yet another android version...

But i'm pretty that we should have a similar folder and file on our phones that can allow this... maybe where the flashlight app itself changed the settings...

I need your help to find out this file...

I'm using a root file explorer and still didn't find anything similar...

[P3600 Software Upgrading] pof:
Go into bootloader and look for the available commands by comparing with bootloaders from previous devices... because I guess you don't have any shipped rom to extract the SPL and see the strings yet.

If it is similar to the Hermes, the bootloader doesn't have any commands to backup to SD, HTC has removed them all. Common commands to do this in other HTC devices are 'd2s', 's2d', 'r2sd'.

Hope that helps and let us know your findings :)
