From July 2013 (XXEMG4) onwards, official Samsung ROMs change the format of your EFS

Maybe it's good that you did not get down to version 4.3.

Thanks to this, you may have not damaged the ESF partition yet.

Did you read something about it, for example >this<?

greenman:

"Be careful that you do not downgrade too far, as you may corrupt your EFS folder and lose network connection.

From July 2013 (XXEMG4) onwards, official Samsung ROMs change the format of your EFS Directory/Partition.

Let's say these ROMs change from EFS v1 to EFS v2.

Only basebands from July 2013 (MG2) onwards can read EFS v2."
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] vampyric_blood:
This is my first smart phone, I had a Asus TF700 tablet that i unlocked and did a lot of custom ROM work on. Well I am military moving back to the US soon and i was visiting to take my wife back. I bought a Verizon M8 that of course was unlocked but i was going to use t-mobile. While in the states i had the issues that is common with this setup and was losing 4g, couldnt text while on 4g, etc. At this point i flew back over to europe and thought i could use t-mobile's deal of unlimited text and data in other countries. But i dont receive a signal at all. Started looking into how to unlock and custom ROM to fix the issues. I watched all the videos and read the how-tos that i could find and did the firewater to S-off and unlock. I installed TWRP 2.7.1.0 since it was the latest on the TWRP website. I changed over to superCID. I have installed viperONE M8 ROM. I tried flashing the ATT radios that i could find in tread on the regular M8 boards but after i flashed it, it would boot up all the way, i still didnt get any bars for signal but after about 5 minutes it would just reboot. i reflashed my originial radio and it worked fine again. Well i just tried to flash the WWE radio and same thing happened. Is there something i am missing to flash radios and not have it bootloop? Also, anyone have any ideas on what i can do to get signal on my phone? I have data roaming enabled and anything else i can find about roaming enabled. Thanks for any help.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] IAmSixNine:
In a nutshell you purchased the wrong unit.

The Verizon unit is a CDMA based version of the HTC One M8. So the Sprint and verizon share similar radios.

Your trying to use that on a GSM network. Not compatible.

You would need an AT&T / T-Mobile or Google Play Edition version for what your trying to do.

Some people have bricked their phones flashing CDMA to GSM and visa verse so be careful. Theres a lot more detail there but that pretty much covers it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eagertosave:
Hi all,

I have a note 2 N7100 4.3

AP XXUEMK9

CP XXUEMJ9

CSC BTUEMK2

This is unlocked to UK networks. I tried to use the phone while in Africa and Asia, while on holiday and I couldnt. So I tried to downgrade it to 4.1. Triggered knox and almost softbricked. Now back to stock as above.

I have rooted the phone with superroot and the knox has been turned off. Tried Region Lock Away (Chainfire) Didnt work.

Can I now safely downgrade to 4.1? Any experiences?

What if I ODIN an Asian ROM. Will it then take an asian SIM?

Also, has anyone managed to unlock the region lock for the new samsung phones? I was told that I have to use a UK SIM in the phone when I go to Asia and make a 5 min call. Then the region lock should go away. This was from Samsung UK tech support. Has anyone tried this?

Thanks for your time and effort

I have a LG Thrill P925 that has a charging issue. I bought a new battery and it does the same thing with it. It will charge to 5% and stop.

I tried to recalibrate the battery but to no aval.

It has Android version 2.3.5. ICS has never been on this phone. I want to reflash/reinstall/format and install the system firmware. Ive tried Factory Reset but it didnt touch the system but wiped everything else off.

I need to figure out weather this is a system firmware issue or weather the charging circuitry is toast.

How would I go about doing this?

Use mobile odin and flash on the jellybean firmware from sammobiles.

Bro u must ask questions in question answer forums in this way u can get help more easily

lets come to the problem u cant use odin on pc becuase your bootloader is now locked so i suggest that u use mobile odin to flash it

mobile odin require your note 10.1 to be rooted to you should root it before proceeding

u can download proper firmware of your note 10.1 from sam mobile web site just down load it copy your rom in external sd card select appropriate options from mobile odin app and then flash it after flash is completed just open recovery by pressing power + up button while the tablet is booting and clear data and clear cache after that ur note will be downgraded to 4.1.2 and u will be good to go

backup ur data cuz this is going to clear everythig

Well search the forums and do a quick google there are plenty of guides to root your tablet also Downgrade of

WAIT! before you yell at me to disable talkback or to turn off voice commands! (I did search: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2733627)

I like voice commands, and voice answering. I HATE the read out, here's why:

I get a lot of calls from delivery companies and service technicians, its always a different number, so I don't save any in my phone. The readout is loud and kills my ring tone. I NEED that ringtone to tell if its a work call or a personal call.

On my previous phone (The GS4) the two options were separated and i didn't have this issue, i had remarkably little issues with it.

TL:DR I need Voice answering without caller ID readout.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewjrr:
I just purchased an HTC M8 running software number 1.55.631.4 and I am using Windows 7.

- I first tried plugging in the phone via usb, and Windows notified that the driver install failed.

- Then I tried installing the drivers manually using the All in one toolkit, tried plugging in the phone, and nothing happened.

- Then I uninstalled the driver, and tried installing the HTC Sync Manager (driver included), plugged in the phone, and still nothing happened.

- This problem occurred on an HP EliteBook, so I tried on another HP laptop I have at work, and the driver install failed when I plugged it in as well.

- Now I am here.

I bought a Mediapad X1 3G version. It is a nice machine, albeit a bit too large as a phone - picture a large brick near your head, :)

Well, I emailed mobile@huawei.com to obtain the bootloader unlock code. I got the code so I would like to go ahead. But I ran into a very strange fastboot issue. When I issue the command "fastboot devices" -

? fastboot

That question mark is supposed to be some number. So this means the device is not recognized. Hence the unlock code does not work. Weirdly, commands such as "fastboot oem get-bootinfo" works, it shows the bootloader is locked. "Fastboot reboot" also works.

Anyone has any idea how I can solve this problem? Some driver issue? Thanks.

Dear members of XDA!

A few quick questions here:

If my bootloader remains locked from stock:

1. and I downgrade to a previous stock android version rather than 4.4, will I lose BE?

2. if I do lose it, and then flash the last stock version, will I recover it?

If my bootloader was unlocked, I know that I should lose BE, BUT:

3. if I install a custom rom, don't like it, go back to the latest stock, and after everything's finished, relock the bootloader, will I recover the BE?

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia ZL] anagramgenius:
1.nope

2.you will lose only if you unlock BL.

3.if u have TA backup, you can relock BL and recover BE by flashing stock ROM and restore TA.

Alright dudes, thought I'd post this up as it seems to be the most optimal solution for fixing most instances of the "Unable to obtain server assigned IP address." and it doesn't seem to be widely publicised. I chose a new thread as there seems to be so many instances of this issue. Might be an idea to put this in a stickie, or the WiKi.

Change the "EnableDHCP" registry key to "0", its located at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp

Then do a soft-reset.

Basically, the problem is caused by the DHCP IP address assignment timing out, causing the connection to be sometimes dropped (even though an IP address may have originally been acquired without a problem) and hence the error message. Disabling DHCP forces the immediate assignment of the default IP address which doesn't timeout (this has already been detailed on this forum).

Note: This fix retains the internet pass-thru ability of ActiveSync, unlike the other reported solution of disabling "advance network functionality".

I hope this helps some of you out there with this issue.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] frustin:
Or if you dont want to do a registry hack when you can do this:

Settings wireless networks -> network adapters -> Remote-NDIS Host -> use specific IP address:

IP address: 169.254.2.1 <-use these addresses

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Default GW: 169.254.2.2

Hit OK and that will do it.
