[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lanky09:
Ok i have spent the last 4 hours trying to edit the vold.fstab file, when I access it using ES file explorer or total commander I can't do anything with it due to permission problems.

The thing is I have tried to remount the /system directory as read/write using many different ways:

- Downloaded and used this app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beansoft.mount_system&hl=en_GB) but cannot edit the vold.fstab file stil.

- I also downloaded the terminal emulator app and followed this guide (http://www.ehow.com/how_12065132_to-mount-system-rw-android.html) but after doing that I still cannot edit the or delete the vold.fstab file within /system/etc

- Also tried this guide (http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...ns-remount-rw-in-total-commander-for-android/) but i get an error, i just tried using it again but the button asks me to remount as read only.. not rw..

help is very much appreciated!!

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] shaza:
i'm not really sure it's the same problem....

>connection conflict switching from mms to emails and viceversa

(modified from previous version)

Dear All,

emails work fine when i use emails only, and mms work fine if i use only mms,

but each time i send mms and then an email (OR VICEVERSA) and i go back to the first type of message, the software still refers to the last connection and the messages obviously are not sent. So i can use one type of message then the other type, but if i try to go back to the first type of messages, the connection activated is the one for the second message type and then i can't sent any: the only solution i have each time is to quick-reset the unit and do all the settings for all the connections from zero (either using the quick auto-configuration file supplied by the distributor or doing the settings manually).

it has always been like that (bought new in jan 2006). according to the distributor everything should work properly as the unit is "perfectly compatible-compliant", so i took it to their service center and few months later they gave it back saying everything is fine... but the problem is still there and the service center has seen the problem is still the same but there's nothing they would do! i can't understand... would you please help me?

please help!

thank you
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xMisterVx:
This is probably as simple as it gets, yet I haven't found a straight answer

on Google or anywhere else.

If I get the carrier to unlock my phone, will it stay unlocked forever?

No matter what custom ROM etc. I would throw onto it?

Once again, this is probably really basic, but I actually haven't seen a direct answer.

(Phone is a Japanese NTT Docomo Galaxy S3, but I guess that doesn't really mean much because the answer would apply to any phone...)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smithinger44:
You could try. It will definitely unlock your phone forever, but you can do the same on your own and it won't be different from what the carrier did + you know what's on your phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dabyd64:
If they provide a unlock code, it will be unlocked forever, no matter you do.

Unless you damage the EFS, then you will lose data and phone the connectivity, only wifii will work.

Hi experts, I generally, don't like posting new threads. But I have few questions, which I could not find answers on the websites. May be I overlooked. Please guide me. Here are my problems.

I need, Hotspot, on my Phone. Preferably, the stock Hotspot App, should work. Thats when the problem started. I upgraded it to 4.3 and all that crap. - locked bootloader.

Now, for the last 2 days. I'm trying to install ALLIANCE ROM

1. installed the stock 4.3 VRUCML1

2. saferoot, super su

3. moved safestrap into the SGS3 and installed.

4. Downloaded and moved Modem and Alliance ROM files to the Phone.

Now, when I'm trying to install, I'm getting the E:signature failure, something.

So I started installing, the safestrap and do that way.

But this way, the phone boots and stops on the first screen which says Alliance ROM.

I don't know what to do.

Can any one help me.

Thank You.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mylt1:
is the alliance rom a touchwiz rom? if i remember things correctly since you have a locked bootloader you can only install a TW rom using safestrap.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goteborg:
Hello, this is my first post here so i'm not sure how to formulate myself or describe the scenario perfectly, but i have been on this forum several times earlier and also now in search for an answer to my phones dysfunction.

Some information about my device:

I have a UL European HTC ONE (m7). I have changed the CID to SuperCID. I had root, unlocked bootloader and s-off.

The problem:

After roaming around the web and searching through posts here and other places, i figured i wanted to upgrade my HTC ONE from rooted stock rom 4.2.2 to 4.4.2. I got the Odexed files from the Android Revolution thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2224752) and went to TWRP to install it after wiping dalvic, cache, data and system. It failed somehow, but i had no worries as i reverted back to a restore point i made with TWRP, and everything worked. Then i came to the conclusion that it had to do with my firmware being wrong so i tried to flash it with 5.11.401.10 firmware in hope that it would let me install the rom successfully. I followed the instructions of flashing by (i think it was) Android Revolution and everything worked out fine until after i typed the command to restart my device. after that it didn't boot at all.

I have tried the following to turn it back on:

holding the power button (with and without flashlight pointing at the light sensor), holding powerbutton and volume down in hope to get into bootloader but none of these work.

It is also not recognized by my computer but i can hear the "connection" sound windows makes when you plug in an USB device, and in device manager it shows up as "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9006 (COM5)".

I'm willing to give more information if it's needed but my question really is just if my phone is hardbricked and i have to buy a new one or not?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my english as it's not my native language!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moulsxda:
Hello

The exact same thing happened to me this morning, so I really hope someone can provide with a solution! Maybe wait for the device to run out of battery so it can reset?

I see! i hope some experts see this thread and can have give some experienced insight.

Yeah i thought about that too, but i don't know if it is using any power at all since it's turned off.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
very strange that it bricked, as that firmware with you being s-off etc should of worked and its your firmware, 401, it may have been a bad download or something, however you are hard bricked, but as it has been caused by software, this should work for you: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2770684
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goteborg:
Yeah, i also figured it would update without too much complications, either i have done something very wrong or it just magically bricked.

THANKS for then link! I will try it asap, but i have some questions:

1. I need to get linux, can you tell me of a distro or version, that would work for this? I have no experience with linux you see.

2.it says i need "the appropriate package for the device" what does this reffer to?

Anyway thanks alot!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
Ive never had to use the fix myself, thank god, however, at a guess I would say the command sudo ./revive.sh will download the appropriate package. be sure to read the whole of post one before attempting it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goteborg:
Well i tried tried it now, but something strange happened so i would like the developer to read this feedback but i can't post in the thread since i don't have 10 posts yet..

Anyway, i installed ubuntu, extracted the archive, got to the terminal and proceeded to type "sudo ./revive.sh" where everything went just like it was suppose to.

Then it told me the unbrick was complete, and i should unplug the device for so to turn it on and install the firmware that was in the archive through fastboot when i had charged to 100%.

The next thing that happened was: I unplugged the device, and tried turning it on with no response, i figured it might have been completely decharged, so i plugget it into the wallsocket to see if i could charge it (when it was bricked i got no response from the phone, no led's, vibration, sound, or screenupdate) but even when it's unbricked nothing happens.

So my question is, what should i do now? i figured i would let it charge for a few hours to see if that helps, but aside from that i would like the developers point of view or someone who knows how this works to give me some explanation, if anyone could quote my post and post it in the thread that would be terrific!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
have you read through the other thread to see if anyone else is experiencing the same problem ?

also, it states you must charge to 100% before switching on, so just leave it on charge for a while, ive also read on that thread somewhere that when you do come to power on, you need to hold the power button for upto 60 seconds before it fires up.

just had a quick read through the thread, read page 3 onwards.......
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goteborg:
i figured it out, but now my phone only starts to an icon with the htc one phone and a red triangle over it with an exclamation mark inside the triangle. This is stock recovery right? how can i flash it with fastboot when im in stock recovery, it says no device detected when i try to use ADB to reboot to bootloader, should i just go stright to "fastboot oem rebootRUU" now? i'm sorry for being such a drag, but i don't really have much experience with ADB and fastboot..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
first question has to be have you flashed the stock firmware ? your quite right, that's stock recovery, to get to the bootloader, hold the power button down and the volume down at the same time, the lights on the bottom will flash 10-15 times, when the phone goes off, release the power button only, continue to hold the volume down, phone should now boot to the bootloader.

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------

once in the bootloader, first make sure your still unlocked, otherwise you will have to htc dev unlock again before you can flash a custom recovery and proceed any further, sorry but im not sure what the result is from recovery a hard brick, never had it happen and hope it never does.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goteborg:
WOAH, how could i be this stupid, i thought my bootloader didn't work since i didn't release the powerbutton. i had completely forgotten that! thank you so much, i'll flash the firmware as said in the tutorial i did to unbrick the phone now and see what happens next.

UPDATE:

Finally i got to the point of the tutorial that i am DONE flashing the firmware again! Now am i suppose to flash a new rom, or am i suppose to recover an earlier rom from my restorepoint in twrp?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
its easy to forget the simple things when you panicking, but your phone is basically working again, just continue to follow the guide and you'll be good. :good:

think of the bootloader as a computer bios, you have just reflashed the phones bios to fix it, no bios = no power on, if it comes on your bootloadfer is fine.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goteborg:
Haha yeah thanks, but now i only need a rom.. i installed TWRP through fastboot. But if i restore one of the roms i had earlier, will it overwrite the new Firmware? also when i tried to install the rom for the new firmware (stock 4.4.2 with sense 6) i got some error about it being wrong cid, eventhough i have supercid. It's so hard to find stockroms, they are all edited by people..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
supercid ive noticed isn't actually in the android-info.txt file of the 401 stock RUU, you have a few choices, you can either change your cid to something like HTC__001 and run the ruu again or you can push a custom rom to your internal storage and flash that, I wouldn't restore any old rom's.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goteborg:
Yeah i figured i used the wrong rom, but i got the 4.4.2 sense 6 rom to work now, root, s-off and unlocked. Just like originally planned, now i just have to re-install all my stuff and i'm back up again.

I just have to say thanks to everyone who have helped me fixing this problem, i seriously thought i had to buy a new phone! would give "thanks" if i knew how to also heh.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
theres a thanks button below each users name on each post, would appreciate it if you could hit it a couple of times.

a true hard brick is if your phone literally dies, if it was caused by software, like yours was, thanks to dexter, it can now be restored in most cases.

I have my files extracted to the "Downloads" folder but I still get the "command not found"

How did you exactly do it?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Did you follow the OP on the procedure? The files are extracted to your working folder on your computer not your phone! If you don't take the time to read and understand the procedures, then you are asking for a bricked phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ozito:
Yes it's quite obvious that the files are supposed to be extracted on the pc.

I already got it to work, for some reason it worked when the extraction was made inside of Ubuntu instead of having it already pre-extracted in Windows.

I've never used Ubuntu or any other distros before so procedures that might be logical for you, isn't for me.

Thanks anyways

So i got my iLLumishield "HD" Screen protector today, after a casualty i got it right the second time. The corner are rounded, but i can definitely say the edges are not perfect and you can feel its rough(not a lot but definitely rough) unlike Zagg or Tech armor. The part between proximity sensor and the earpiece grill does not stick idk what the reason is. Overall its OK. :good:

[ONE Accessories] Alaris:
How long did it take to ship?
[ONE Accessories] vamshi88:
It took just 2 days with Amazon prime, but now the product does not support Prime, weird. The price when i ordered was $6.95(with prime shipping) now its still the same but separated price for shipping.
[ONE Accessories] Reignogleph MMXI:
That usually means the first seller (possibly Amazon) ran out of stock and that another seller who's not covered by Prime is now the main one offering the product. In this case, however, it's the same seller. Perhaps they ran out of stock and are treating new purchases as special orders.
[ONE Accessories] vamshi88:
But the seller is and was Talkie Tech Inc, no change. :confused:
[ONE Accessories] Reignogleph MMXI:
Yes, which is why I said this after the bit you quoted:

I think we can agree that the non-Prime switch is odd and annoying.
[ONE Accessories] cheapa55:
did the first casualty have the same problem around the earpiece grill? I wonder if it's one that's defective or if it's an issue with manufacturing? I'm picking with things like that and I'll throw away all 3 if it does that when I install.
[ONE Accessories] vamshi88:
well i cant say if the first one had the same problem, i just couldn't align it properly. the problem with the not sticking near the earpiece might be because if you see the picture at the bottom part of the earpiece the guard is almost on the edge. If someone aligns the guard perfectly then i guess this problem wont arise. But this bubble definitely has the potential to mess up the guard.
[ONE Accessories] cheapa55:
Thanks! Debating whether or not to pull the trigger now.
[ONE Accessories] Nooblit:
I have 3 nillkin dry application screen protectors in the mail but i have no idea when they'll get here. I think i'll pull the trigger on a pack of these after seeing those pics. the small bubbling issue around the earpiece doesn't seem too severe on your application. Thanks for the pics! Wish more people would do this with their phones.
[ONE Accessories] CoCoGirl886:
Perhaps the area between the proximity sensor and the earpiece was stretched or caught some dust before application? :confused. I hope it's not a consistent issue on all their screen protectors. I used iLLumishield for my HTC One M8 before and I recall it being pretty nice, and also on the thicker side? I was considering getting one of these, but now I'm hesitant after seeing the issues you pointed out.
[ONE Accessories] vamshi88:
I can assure you that there was no stretching involved whatsoever, i laid the top first and worked my way through bottom. as you said it is a bit on the thinker side but i almost forgot i was using a guard on my screen. Although the bubble still exists near the earpiece there is no sign of peeling off. its been more than 10 days now and i can see it lasting for atleast 6 months or more no problem.

I bought the Diztronics tpu case and have to see if it disturbs the case. i hope it doesnt:fingers-crossed:

[Q] Difference between "ADB drivers" and "MTK USB VCOM Driver" (and PdaNet drivers)

Hi there!

I am very new to the Android world, so forgive me for my lack of experience.

I am a new owner of the Jiayu G4s smartphone which is based on Mediatek's octacore MT6592 and I wanted to make some backups and maybe later on flash it with new ROMS.

I already made a CWM backup and now I wanted to make a backup with MTKdroidTool.

My doubt is on what driver should I install and what is the difference between "ADB drivers" and "MTK USB VCOM Driver". To make it even worse (for my comprehension) I can see that there are also the so called PdaNet drivers! What are these for?

Thank you very much.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planterz:
PdaNet is an app for tethering your phone's internet to your computer. When tethering via USB, it uses an application on your computer, and that application includes drivers for common brands of phones.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustIceForSake:
Thank you very much for your reply! It's very much appreciated! :)

EDIT: On this page it looks like the PdaNet files include the ADB drivers.

------------------------

I'm not sure, but it looks like "ADB drivers" drivers are used for MTKdroid Tools and "MTK USB VCOM Driver" are used for SPFlashtool, so both are required. If anyone could confirm or deny it would be nice. :)
