[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirbender42:
Hi,

I was wondering why some devices cannot be updated to a new Android version although it worked perfectly fine with the previous version (e.g. with Cyanogenmod). Is it drivers? Why does every new version of Android need new drivers? Or what else makes it sometimes impossible for Cyanogenmod to technically move to the next version?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Houz74:
This is how I brought my TyTN and one from a colleague back to live. We both we’re victim of a defective radio-ROM and never got past the splashscreen. Both were original HTC TyTNs, but any Hermes with any CID should work.

If you try to do this on your own Hermes, please follow these directions to the letter as connection-problems may arise otherwise.

- Take the battery out of your TyTN and leave it out several minutes

- Disable USB-connection in Active-Sync

- Reboot your Computer

- Replace the battery and put your TyTN in the bootloader

- Try to load the ROM found here:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.co...05/RUU120_172125_Qtek_WWE_R11400_Shipping.exe

- Keep trying till you get

just past the erasing part

, then you will get an error-message and are asked to reset your device with the stylus

- Reset your phone and put it back in the bootloader mode

- Install

any

Hermes ROM you like, no matter what CID if you have bootloader 1.04
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] fun_key:
Great discovery!

It may also work for people who cannot change they rom because of 1.06 bootloader I guess? If my tytn wasnt working so well at the moment with my cingular rom, I would give a try.

Can you please give us your bootloader version, the result of the "info 2" (CID) cmd in bootloader and the result of "info 8"; I am just curious.

I also would be interested in feedbacks from people downgrading from 1.06 bootloader with this trick
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Houz74:
Both TyTN's had bootloader 1.04. Had 1.06 on mine one time but managed to downgrade with original HTC-ROM. Don't think downgrading from bootloader 1.06 will work with this Himalaya-method , but you're results may vary. Then again, I didn’t check whether or not I got another bootloader after the erase by the Himalaya ROM

Info 2 gave QTEK_001 and info 8:

mmm this is very interesting...

Can someone do a full usb dump using HHD USB monitor when flashing the Himalaya ROM?

1) Disable activesync on your computer by right click on activesync icon -> connection settings -> uncheck "allow USB connections".

2) Put your device in BootLoader mode

3) Connect device to computer using USB cable.

4) Start USBMonitor.

5) File -> New session -> USB Monitor -> Select USB device where your phone is connected -> Check "request view" -> Finish

6) In the upper part there are two tabs: basic and complete. Click on "Complete".

7) start the Himalaya upgrade, you should see all the USB traffic output on USB monitor window.

8 ) when finished, click on Edit -> Export and Save as type "ANSI Text files".

9) Save the file and zip it.

10) attach it on a comment here or put it on the ftp if it's too big.

If we have the full USB dump, then we might be able to write a tool to fix the bricked units.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] fun_key:
Thanks for all thos infos.

You may be right, in fact I don't think that himalaya flash the bootloader. I had a false good idea. It may in fact be very very dangerous; if the himalaya clean the phone without changing the bootloader it would be impossible to update the empty rom without a rom matching the CID !!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
The only part that can be afected is radio, because radio bootloader commadns are the same in the hermes and in the Himalaya.

For other parts (extom, os, ipl, spl, splash1, splash2....) himalaya bootloader uses 'wdata' command to flash them which is not available on the hermes, the hermes uses wdatah instead. So it should be "safe" for these parts to use the himalaya upgrade utility.

I don't know if the cid is checked before the radio upgrade or not, that's why i want a usb dump of the process. Probably the easyest would be to take only Radio_.nbf from the Himalaya rom upgrade and upgrade it on a Hermes using MaUpgrade_NoID.exe...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Houz74:
The radio-part was defective in my TytN, and no flashing method worked. USB and SD-card flashing both with matching CID didn't start. Never got past the Windows Bootscreen.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shark1:
it does not work on 1.06 as i don't have an original rom, so i have to wait.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] onj:
tried so many times

I was going through your method, I tried maybe 10 times already but this Radio actually makes my boot screen turn white and with USBmonitor, it does go pretty far. Farther than the other radio's I have tried. I have Spl-1.04 but it doesn't seem to work. Is there anything that I'm missing?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] onj:
This is what I have, but I have no idea what to do next...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
@onj: hangs on rbmc... you need to do the erase commands manually from mtty. Look at the wiki problems page.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] onj:
pof: I did that prior to updating, I think I did that 10 times already. everything comes back "T"

that's with MTTY.exe

sorry for the double post, thought that this thread was dead.

one thing is that when I reboot my htc the usbmonitor reads out other things, like ....................................00

and it keeps repeating. I was just talking to my Gf and I accidentally deleted the USBmonitor log. If you would like for me to get it for you I can do it again. But basically it just loops 3 or 4 different lines redundantly.

After failure during ROM update, every other updates stop after 1% and the device restets itself to bootloader (1.07).

Back to life too

Thanks to Houz74 - your procedure with the QTEK update rom works and brought my brick back to life. I have the same output from info 2 and info 8 as the other guy on this thread.

I think it's important to know that my radio ROM stopped working after I dropped my phone on the floor. It has broken the hardware in some way, as I did nothing else with my phone - it was only in my pocket after this, and I wondered why I was getting no calls. I tried to send a text and it was failing, even though the phone showed a signal. I reset the phone with the stylus, and alas, no more signal. Also, 'no gsm' showed up on booting.

I then tried to upgrade the radio rom and got to this point - stuck in bootloader blahdy blah.

At least I can send the phone back under warranty not stuck in a dodgy bootloader screen!!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] oltp:
@tetsuokaneda: Do you only have the white screen or are there any traces of fiddling with your device? If not then maybe you can be lucky with a claim for warranty. I got some probs in the splash screen area, but I guess the repair centre is my last resort in getting back a working device.

Cheers,

On mine I can boot, WM works fine... Just got the "no GSM" error. And of course cannot flash the radio...

Is your method actually fixing this ?

I guess the asnwer is no, it is just meant to pass the splash screen and boot into WM, but wont fix the radio issue... Am I wrong ?

This one boots windows just showing NO GSM. It used to temporarily lose GSM signal... Actually it worked few minutes after soft reset but later - few days ago it's GSM died giving no sign of life.

Strangest thing is that the device is SuperCID, but it periodically needs to be CID-unlocked again...

Bricked HTC Tytn

Hi, has to now ask after 4 days of trying myself.

Admit I'm not the ultimate smartphone tech. I flashed the ROM and now it won't go past the HTC screen(flash screen?) info on this screen is:

R - 1.70.18.02

G - 25.83.40.02H

D - 3.57.HTCKS

I had flashed some of TPC's ROMs before this "Lite" rom. HELP! anyone, PLEASE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dablitzkrieg:
I can only boot into recovery, I can not boot into download mode, nor can I boot into any ROM that I flash. Most recently, I was operating the most recent PAC MAN ROM. I am unsure how to get back into anything. Is this thing totally bricked?? Any help would be great. I am using clockwork mod recovery. Please ehlp
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dablitzkrieg:
anyone???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcbjoe:
When you plug your device into your computer and open up odin does it at least say added!!

Also are you sure you are entering download (odin mode) correctly

Are you trying to go into odin mode while plugged into your computer .. if so try without the computer (unplugged)

Thanks

EDIT: Can you get into recovery mode ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dablitzkrieg:
No. I can enter recovery only by the button method. I also can briefly enter download mode with the green android guy for like 3 seconds and then the phone shuts off. I think the bootloader is bricked. It is weird though, I can get into recovery. When attempting to use Odin, usb doesnt appear to work either. cant even charge the phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcbjoe:
Since you can get into recovery .. can you try to tell it to boot to the boot loader or boot screen .. i forgot what the option was .. also can you post your specs like

Galaxy s3

Baseband

Whatever .. more people might want to know this information as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dablitzkrieg:
I have tried to boot into bootloader. It does not...only a black screen. Baseband is ML1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcbjoe:
How are you on clockwork mod recovery when ML1 Baseband / Bootloader is unlockable ?

Are you sure its ML1 ?

Also have you tried to install the universal drivers for your computer so the device manager can recognize it at least ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dablitzkrieg:
the one prior to the latest...I think NC1? Sorry. Can you give me a link to the universal drivers.

I dont think it will work. I cant charge it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcbjoe:
Have you tried

adb reboot boot loader

or

adb reboot download
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dablitzkrieg:
I dont have that option in the cwm recovery i am in. I believe the cwm im on is 6.0.4.3. Also, when the phone is pulled in, it will not turn on at all. Everytime I put the battery in, it tries to boot, i see the samsung screen, then it goes to the blue android guy for like a tenth of a second and the phone shuts off. Same thing with download mode. It attempts to go to it....I see all of the info in the top left hand corner of the screen and the phone shuts off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcbjoe:
If you have a bad cable change it

If something else is going wrong you can call Verizon and play dumb .. instead of calling Assurian you should call the regular total care protection .. say you have a hardware issue and that you where charging it and then all of a sudden something happened

* You never know .. its all up to you .. nothing else you really can do

1. Recovery

2. Download mode

3. Try adb reboot boot loader

4. adb reboot download

5. New Charger

6. Warranty swap

There is a good channel on irc

irc.freenode.net and the channel is #verizons3 .. there is live support there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
These are ADB commands. Download "Terminal Emulator" and type in the following command to boot into download mode from within your rom:

su

reboot download

Edit: Added that you must grant "su" for the command to work. Just type it in.

Not sure what's changed, but the app is running fine now.

Edit: Never mind...its crashing again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aviphysics:
Is there any good data on which of the major ROMs are most trouble free?

I am a pretty simple guy. All I really want is to be able to use my phone as a hotspot, take pictures without the camera app crashing and easy access to turn the torch on and off. Seems like a lot of the reviews spend a lot of time focusing on how many colors you can change and relatively little on the actually reliability of the ROM. This sort of leaves us asking eachother and it seems like everyone and their brother has an opinion on how stable any given ROM is and all swear by different ones.

At any rate, this just leaves me wondering if there is actually any good reviews or sources that summarize what the weeknesses of each ROM are. I know it is a tricky thing to ask, because they are always changing with each nightly build, but I have been pulling my hair out for the last couple years trying to find a properly stable ROM for my T999.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
They cant really review stability and functionality on some roms, such as CM for example. Its going to be different for every model device, and even between 2 identical model devices you will still find one has issues while another does not. Thats why they usually stick to reviewing features and options. But also, what works best will vary from person to person even more so than from one device to the next. As is stated in all the "what's the best rom" threads, only you can determine what suits your needs best.

But for what its worth, imo, if its stability you're after, stick to whatever the manufacturer included on any given device.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aviphysics:
I would stick with the stock rom, but I just really don't like it. I have also gotten very used to using a more stock version of Android and don't want to have to adjust back to using the stock rom, even if there are ways to get tethering to work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] getochkn:
What don't you like about the stock ROM? You say you want simple and don't care about changing anything, but you're not happy with stock either. What do you really want? lol. Also note, than any other ROM is not going to have the Samsung camera app, they are all going to be a lot more basic camera's, no wifi calling if you use that t-mo feature.

Torch on and off can be accessed with a shortcut on stock ROM, any third party app that lets you add a widget, or if you install xposed framework, you can add torch to the volume up button, so you can turn the torch on without even waking the phone. I'm with Doc, I'm a Touchwiz kind of guy too. I don't get the hate for it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aviphysics:
I just don't like some of the extra junk Samsung adds on. I like a more stripped down vanilla Android. I originally switched yo get rid of sVoice in particular and just got used to it. Not needing extra apps for WiFi tethering is a nice bonus.

At any rate. Just totally wiped the phone back to stock with Odin and installed the latest AOKP. No problems yet.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
You can strip the Samsung apps out, and there is mods to enable native tethering.. But aosp or the kind is a nice option as well, just depends on what you want and need
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Thinly veiled best ROM thread. SlimKat with Banks' minimal gapps.
