Hi, I have Sony Ericsson wt19i bought in europe. It supports HSDPA 900 / 2100 band. Sony Ericsson has a satelite model wt19a, which supports american HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - WT19a.

Is this HDSPA band controlled by Kernel/firmware or it is determined purely by hardware. Is it possible to enable HSPA 850/1900 on my wt19i by chaning the kernel or firmware.

I did try flashing a stock firmware for wt19a, but it did not help...

I have rooted my vzw s5 and now I would like to find a tether option that takes advantage of being rooted.

I do not want to take this thread into whether I should or not, that is not my objective here.

I know about foxfi but do not want to pay for that either as it might not work if vzw changes something.

To be fair, in the other threads, I see a lot of 'WiFi tether' and I, and perhaps the OP want to know about bypassing the entitlement checks for Tether alone and not have to use FoxFi or Xposed as I cannot tether successfully with Xposed X Tether to my gaming PC.. I can use the Xposed method for WiFi just fine, but when I tether to my computer with it, it does nothing... at all.. Easy work around could be to buy a $20 USB WiFi adapter, but I don't want to do that either...

That is why I posted the link I did. It doesn't require Xposed or FoxFI and works just fine.

So I really messed up my htc one. I flashed a kernel and as I rebooted stuck on the bootscreen. Then I wiped out everything (internal storage) and now adb doesn't work anymore, I can access fastboot and recovery though (twrp) .

Can't do anything no sideload no adb commands at all, because my pc doesn't recognize the phone! fastboot commands seem to work.

can anyone help me?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
first install drivers so ADB can be used when your phone is booted in twrp recovery

then adb push or adb sideload a rom to your phone and install it using twrp. note that most newer rom will require twrp 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 to flash correctly.

best way ive found to get out of this rut as ive been in it a few times. i bought a OTG cable for like $1.20 off amazon and i keep a flash drive with a stock like ROM and kernel on it aswell as some recoveries. Best thing i have ever purchased saved my ass a many of times.

then in twrp you go to flash and swap form internal storage to usb otg and tada can flash from the flash drive.

then you should be able to workout the adb issue while you have a functioning phone atleast lol.

Now I first installed the revolution hd rom to see if the otg method is working, then I tried to run the ruu and I got this error.

EDIT: Ok, I flashed a stock rom from revolution hd via recovery, now I can update my phone. However would be still interesting to know why the ruu isn't working properly

One last question just to be sure: Now I have a stock htc one rom and a stock htc one recovery, but the it's rooted. Will I receive updates or do I need to unroot it? I don't care if the root is lost after the update.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sieze:
root shouldnt effect OTA updates. only if you change recovery. withotu stock recovery you cannot OTA update. and as for wy the RUU wouldnt work i suspect it has something to do with you having to new a hboot. may be wrong though.

and you may lose root after OTA but only if android version changes.

If I flash 4.3 will i face any problem?

Now i am on 4.4.2

[EDIT] : softbrick has been fixed but now I have Baseband UNKNOWN and IMEI NULL

currently on stock 4.4.2 Poland.

So I have a SM-9005 note 3. Just recently bought it. Came with 4.3 stock. I decided to jump on the custom rom bandwagon (for which I feel like killing myself). Anyways it shows the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue screen" .

Here is what I did:

1) rooted the stock 4.3

2) tried installing CWM which probably tripped my knox and now I have 0x01

3) I wanted to install the X-NOTE 4.4.2 build rom

4) Came to know that official 4.4.2 update is required to use Xnote 4.4.2 rom

5) Followed this thread -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2608178

6) Tried to flash the stock poland 4.4.2 fw using odin .

7) Got -> invalid exr4 image !!

Now , I'm not sure if the bootloader has been updated to 4.4.2 . I think I screwed up after this:

Managed to get CWM Recovery running. I tried to flash the X-Note 4.4.2 zip thinking that the bootloader may have updated to 4.4.2 in the previous failed flash. The process stopped half-way and I got back the CWM recovery scree. So it did not work.

Now the odin mode shows the following:

PRODUCT NAME : SM-N9005

CURRENT BINARY : Custom

REACTIVATION LOCK : OFF

KNOX KERNEL LOCK : 0X0

KNOX WARRANTY VOID : 0X1

I can access CWM recovery. I have no idea how to proceed . Please help :crying: . Currently I'm downloading the X-Note jellybean version. Will try to flash that via recovery . Will that be fine :confused:

My advice: go back to full stock 4.3, update like a normal person would to 4.4, then do like a normal XDA member and root it, and go from there.

If you do not have any backup (including a larger "debrick backup" - search for that post) you can try to see which one of the partitions I listed above was supposed to be the backup of what; and if that fails there is a more complex procedure described somewhere in a thread on XDA - involving manually hex-editing your SN and IMEI from under the battery or the original box of the phone.

There is always going to be data inside regardless of what happened to it. Your recovery probably uses dd to copy the byte content of that partition. So even if its only zeroes or corrupted data, dd will still copy that and save it to the output file.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akshayarajdayal:
4.4 I guess. Things got scrwed while flashing kitkat (leaked Poland) since mine is the hong Kong version. But at that time BL was not updated. So I reflashed jelly bean and everything worked perfect . Then , I used an older version of Odin to flash the kitkat (Poland) again but this time did CSC first. Flash was OK but now the baseband is UNKNOWN and imei is missing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AO7:
These steps normally have no risk involved, but I do not take any responsibility. Let us first make a backup of whatever is left in EFS and FSC, then flash to 4.4 stock. I am assuming you have a version of Cyanogenmod installed and you have root ADB access. In CM, you can enable this in the Developers Options menu.

1. Making a backup of EFS/FSC.

With ADB root access we're going to use EFSBackup to save whatever remains of your /dev partitions.

Read the OP of the EFS backup thread to understand what you are doing. After you understand what this tool does download the tool and install. You can also find the download link in the OP of my first link. Simply backup all partitions that EFSBackup finds for your N9005. Save the backup to your PC and at least one other harddrive or to Dropbox/Cloud.

2. Flashing stock Kitkat 4.4 (WARNING: Hong Kong device has different partition structure. Follow the steps in FeralFire's guide first but use the stock rom image linked below)

I'm hoping that by flashing the wrong stock (leaked Poland) you have only screwed up the modem, which is causing the IMEI to be blanked. You said you got the phone from Dubai, but it is the Hong Kong version? So I'm going to assume you need Hong Kong firmware. This is the list with all SM-N9005 firmwares.. The Hong Kong Identifier for SM-N9005 is TGY. This is the download link for the latest TGY 4.4 stock firmware. For flashing stock on my N9005. I have succesfully used Odin 3.09.

Do all of that stuff and report back with the result.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FeralFire:
All correct and fine. But donot flash Hong Kong firmware again. You have the international pit now and you can't flash back the Hong Kong ROM without its pit. Flash any stock ROM from some other place. Preferably Europe.

Also try some Custom ROM.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akshayarajdayal:
I will try that asap. Was on the plane with a useless note 3 in my pocket..finally some ray of hope for me. Also just for the record, I have a copy of the stock hongkong 4.4 fw along with its PIT, in case that might be needed.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AO7:
Assuming he now has a Polish pit, would he be best off to flash the Polish stock?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FeralFire:
He can flash anything other than the Hong Kong ROM.

Samsung officially only released the 16GB version in Hong Kong and therefore a different pit for that region. All the devices with 32/64GB memory that have the Hong Kong ROM have had it flashed unofficially. And that causes issues.

So if he has the international pit file, it gives him a better compatibility.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akshayarajdayal:
I have backed up the EFS and FSC partitions with EFS Professional. Also I did a check on my backed up EFS with IDA Pro. There seem to be a lot a zeroes in there but theres is some data as well .
