[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] matsix:
I know there's loads of questions and threads about T-Mobile on a S3 but I've been dealing with this issue ever since my girlfriend gave me her old AT&T S3. I signed up on here just now because I couldn't stand trying to figure it out myself anymore.

I've also looked at all those threads and for some reason they all seem to have an opposite issue of what I have. To my understanding, areas that aren't re-farmed will give you 4g LTE and 2g (edge) but no 3g correct?

I get the opposite of that, I get only HSPA+, HSPA, rarely 2g and never LTE. The part I don't understand is why I don't get LTE. My Brother is able to get LTE with his T-Mobile LG G2 so LTE coverage should be fine in my area.

I ended up finding out that T-Mobile requires a newer sim card to work with LTE and I was using an extremely old one that I got when smartphones basically just came out. (I cut it into micro shape) Today I just received my new sim in the mail, popped it in and it showed LTE with 4 bars but I couldn't do anything because I haven't activated it yet. Once I got it activated it went back to HSPA+.

The weird part about this is that if I restart my phone sometimes it'll show LTE for a couple seconds but it'll say "no service" then proceed to go back to H+.

I'd like to at least know someone else gets the same thing because it's been driving me crazy and it seems like I'm the only one having this issue. I've literally been trying to get LTE on this phone for about a year now.

If someone can try helping that'd be cool, thanks
[Shield Q&A] DrOcsid:
Hi, my Shield is stuck on its boot screen, the one with the green shield and the mist whatever. I've tried restarting it but nothing is happening. I don't even know what caused it, I just picked it up and opened it and it was on its boot screen. Last thing I knew before it, it was working perfectly fine. I don't have recovery installed... It is rooted but I doubt that would cause this... any help?
[Shield Q&A] hexitnow:
That's happened to me before.have you tried leaving it off for a few minutes and then restarting it. maybe try while its on the charger.If that doesn't solve it I would attempt to boot into stock recovery and perform a FDR. either way someone will get you back up and running again.
[Shield Q&A] DrOcsid:
I left it off all night and after I turned it on again this morning it's still stuck. I've tried it both on and off the charger, won't work either way.
[Shield Q&A] hexitnow:
Do you know how to boot into recovery mode?
[Shield Q&A] DrOcsid:
Yes, but selecting the recovery mode option comes up with a screen that says "no command".
[Shield Q&A] hexitnow:
That's supposed to happen.you need to press home and back I believe to get the menu to pop up. might not be those buttons but there is a button combination to get it to popup.
[Shield Q&A] DrOcsid:
Well yes, I hold home and back when I turn it on, and it brings me to a screen with these options:

Continue

Restart Bootloader

Recovery mode

Reboot

Poweroff

Selecting "Recovery mode" just brings me to a screen that says "no command". I tried doing various button commands to try and make something happen, but nothing happens.
[Shield Q&A] hexitnow:
I realize that but Keep trying there's a two button combo to get the RECOVERY MENU to show up. If you can't get it I'll go get my shield and flash the stock recovery so i can figure it out.
[Shield Q&A] DrOcsid:
Okay, I managed to get it to work. What do I do now?
[Shield Q&A] hexitnow:
factory data reset, reboot.
[Shield Q&A] DrOcsid:
Okay, that worked. Thanks.

Nvidia Shield Portable

My sons Shield Portable is stuck on the screen that has a dead looking Android that says no command after trying to install a factory update. I have tried holding down the power button the home button and back button to try and recover. The recovery mode did nothing. The restart bootloader did nothing. I have pressed the power button and the home button at same time to try and wipe the data. I did wipe and hit the factory reset once I did that I hit reboot. when it started back up it still says the same thing. Please help
[Shield Q&A] ApexoftheVortex:
same problem

I have the same problem if anyone knows the combo to go straight into recovery I would really appreciate it.
[Shield Q&A] notknowledgable:
about that...

Do you remember what button combo you used? My shield gets the same "no command" screen when i enter recovery mode.

Help guys. I've been at this all, and I'm starting to pull my hair out. There are so many steps and guides, and it's just so confusing and frustrating. Doing X requires you to do Y first, but when you try to do Y, it tell you to do X first. :mad:

What I'm trying to achieve is to unlock my phone, debrand it, find a nice ROM (perhaps try Jellybean or Kitkat) and update the firmware to 3.3

So far, I've been able to HTC Dev unlock it, and apply S-Off. Now I'm trying to install Clockworkmod Recovery, but it says "You must root your phone. Superuser was not found".What the heck is rooting? What is Superuser? Is it the same thing? I tried to install SuperSU app, but it says your device must be rooted so I guess not! How the heck do I root my phone?

Please, can someone walk me through this? Talk to me like I'm a dummy.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandermere:
Hi there, XDA! I'm a long-time lurker and never really found the need to post anything before, but hopefully someone can shed a little light on my situation.

First, this started when I was trying to SIM unlock my phone. After several days, I settled on a post that mentioned downgrading to a 4.2 modem, or ideally full 4.2 firmware. In an attempt to downgrade, I performed a wipe and factory reset on my phone. I've used custom recoeries and roms before and I'm somewhat comfortable with Odin, but this message had me stumped. Whe attempting to flash a custom rom or recovery, I get the message "There is no pit partition" (EDIT: I tried one more time to make sure I had the error message right and flashed TWRP successfully, but get the same message with any roms).

I did a little research and found what should be the appropriate pit file to sort this part out but when I include the pit file in the flash I get the message "Complete(Write) operation failed." Kies also never connects to the phone, although Windows and Odin do fine. Any thoughts?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renattobf:
Hi all,i have a "problem" with my g2 and how it behaves with wifi on standby

When i leave my phone sleep with wifi off the drain is nothing and the graphic is flat but when i leave it the same with wifi on its like on the second screenshot and thats a problem because(for example)i lock my phone with exactly 60% with wifi on and after some mins i unlock it,use it for a min or almost 2 but not more and it drains the percentage fast to 59% and with that i have less battery time so i want to know if there's any solution to that or is this is normal for a g2?

I have all location off,gps off and i don't use google now.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenchai:
Hi, I just bought a new phone, yes, i guess you know what it is.

G900H (damn...) I wanted F version.

Well, Everything worked nicely, then I tried water, apps, anything, the phone worked.

BUT something happened, power button didnt work, sometimes it did sometimes it didnt... Then I restarted, a LOT, pulling battery etc, It booted itselft btw. Then I deleted apps, etc. Somehow, after 30+ restarts, it worked! phone worked normally, i was like, WTH.

then after 2 or 3 months, now...

Today I washed the phone, everything closed, it looks like after that, the phone's power button doesnt WORK... :( (every other button worked fine, all operations up to date. nothing bad)

I went to recovery.. power button didnt work. volume, home did work.

I asked myself, did I screw up the power button? then should I wait for the phone to dry out? WTH. This thing worked for so many times, NOW it doesnt...wat do i do..

DOWNLOAD MODE

once in download mode, volume + to go volume - to restart phone.

I couldnt CLICK any option.WTH

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY PHONEEEE

yes, warranty is void :(

anyone happened the same?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
WTH indeed. Should you wait for the phone to dry out? Seriously? Electricity and water.

You shouldn't be washing a phone. Carefully wipe it with a damp cloth perhaps. And yes wait for it to dry. If you are lucky, it will be okay after it dries, although it sounds like you have a physically damaged button.

You could try reverting to 100% stock to rule out software issues. The only proper fix for physical damage is to replace the power button. The part is dirt cheap, but the labour to disasemble yourphone and install it could be quite expensive.

A possible workaround would be an app that remaps the button elsewhere. That won't work to power on the device, but may help for routine operation once it's already on. Should your power button completely fail, you can use an USB JTAG adapter to turn your phone on.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenchai:
Hi bud,

thanks for replying,

I got so scared, but it looks like now everything works, I put the phone to charging, the button looks perfect, y clicks and everything.. i dont see how it is damaged T.T

Maybe water entered somewhere? Damn u samsung, water proof THaT.

After charging a bit, I was stuck in recovey, I tried pressing power button . IT Worked! then it didnt, I had a few self reboots but everything is fine now.

So I guess I had to dry it. How? I cant know, the phone seems dry to me. Maybe theres a small hole where water could enter in power button?

let me see your opinions.

Sent from my SM-G900H
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Looks perfect, clicks and everything. But doesn't work reliably. And you can't imagine how it could be damaged? I would have thought the erratic operation to be a clue.

Show us where Samsung ever wrote that the phone is waterproof. It's water resistant, which means that it will probably save you from permanent damage if it gets accidentally wet. A splash, rain, a one time drop into shallow water. But tempting fate by routinely exposing it to water; washing it or taking it along when snorkeling would be imprudent.

It's unclear from your last post if the button is now working properly or not. If it is, great. If not, you will find some suggestions in my previous post. Good luck.

yes, it is working properly now :) may have been because of water damage. thanks

There is no real answer other then not flash roms. I'd been flashing all kinds of stuff since my first one in February. I decided to flash Gummy the other day and ended up restoring Carbon, boot after the restore and there's the lines.
[Verizon LG G2] Haswell4200:
I figured it out. Flash dr87 twrp 2.7.1.0. The regular twrp recovery runs all cores at full speed causing temperatures to exceed 90 degrees Celsius. This causes the battery to swell which stresses the screen.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] enmatt:
Guys,

I have an S4 that randomly hotboots. I think it's a hotboot because I see that device uptime seen in settings, about device says it's been up for a 150 hours but better battery stats records the time since the last boot. I'm on The Sickness V2 fw.

In the past on an OEM battery, I use to get freezes when charging overnight and sometimes at random. I was also using a Sandisk Ultra 64GB sd card. I removed the card and used the battery and it still froze. So I didn't think it was the card. Now, I've changed the battery and I'm getting hotboots instead of lockups.

Can anyone please help me with suggestions?

Thank you.

I have an at&t version m8 on nV rls4. Radio is 1.14. Neither sunshine nor the other s-off method will work on my phone. I get the whelp error or thr "incompatible" error.

Is there a way to update my radio without flashing a stock rom and locking recovery first?

Love the rom. Download speeds are fair at best on lte which is why i want to update radio.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Flashing a radio.img? No.

What hboot version? It shipped with hboot 3.16, so unless you changed it, it should still be so (it looks like you haven't gotten the OTA update, as this would have updated your radio to 1.16). AFAIK, only the newer hboot versions are what is blocking firewater s-off method. I would try to flash the stock rooted ROM and try firewater again. AT&T variant with hboot 3.16 should have no issue with firewater; as this is how I got S-off. And the only difference I can see is your custom ROM. It wouldn't think a custom ROM would make a difference, but its worth a try.

The other option if you still can't S-off, is to accept the software 1.58 OTA update or flash the RUU. As already mentioned, it will update your radio to 1.16. But if experimenting with various radios is you goal, this isn't the solution.

There are signed RUU but i think it will not work as you have to degrade your firmware . it seems that you will be stuck for a while unless and until you get s-off . what's the point you want to update or just unlock the boootloader and s-off if you want to update it is possible but unlocking the bootloader won't .
