[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dd0211:
Many thanks for the link. Forgive my noobness, but before I flash this I must ask:

Am I correct in assuming that because this is a stock ROM, the locked bootloader will not give me problems while flashing it?

If this is to be flashed with fastboot, which partition do I specify?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezknives:
Look for rsd lite and flash 4.4.2 with that... Then do what you did before towel root and motopocalypse....n I'll grab the link for the recovery

Edit... Here is the recovery for our device
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATTACK:
1. Being official firmware, it shouldn't give you any problems. I've flashed it twice and haven't had any problems.

2. Use RSD Lite to flash it.

Do you have the links for KitKat ROM??
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
I don't know if I have space on my Google drive. I'll try to upload tonight.
[Lenovo P780] KylesIan:
Hey there, XD I'm just going to go back to the STOCK ROM, but the link you gave to S124, everytime I download it at the end it wouldn't finish saying Network Error ? But I'd try it tomorrow at another browser other than Chrome. Then other than that S124 in the link you gave, there's also this ORIGINAL RECOVERY, what is that

for and how can I install it in my phone? Please help me T^T I'm not gonna try any other custom roms anymore, they always have bugs. Flashing the S124 ROM is just like flashing other roms right? So I got that already, but how do I put that Original Recovery thingy?

One last thing, what are those KK stock recovery? Do I need them? After I flash the S124 ROW, I'm gonna update it upto the last version of 4.2.2 and not upto 4.4.2.
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. Flashing s124.. yes is the same like other roms.

Original Recovery you must use if and only if you want to use an custom recovery like TWRP or CWM.

KK Recovery i put them there for others who allready use custom recovery and want to OTA further updates from STOCK ROM.

If you flash your stock rom you dont need stock recovery because you allready have.

S124 is the last 4.2.2.

KK is 4.4.2.

Good Luck.
[Lenovo P780] KylesIan:
So if I flash S214, and times comes that I want to OTA further update from my S214 stock rom, is there anything needed from doing this? Or do I just continue?
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
You dont update. You have some options there, mark the one who tell's you that you dont want to update further.

[G4] d0ug:
I know there is no free utility yet to CID unlock the G4 devices. Those of you that have unlocked your G4's at the IMEI-Check site http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php Is this just a SIM unlock or also a CID unlock?

If it is a CID unlock are you now able to make a ROM backup using the R2SD method shown in post 8 of this thread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=258819&highlight=r2sd+backup

This is my main reason for wanting to CID unlock. I want to be able to make a full ROM backup with this method, before trying any new ROMs. My CID locked 9100 gives me this error "You didn't get the proper security level to download a specific image" when I try a R2SD backup
[G4] nishadks:
Go ahead and you will be able to do r2sd backups and restore after CID unlock at imei-check.co.uk.

[G4] neonkoala:
So does this CID unlock the phone if it's a G4, you're a bit unclear?
[G4] blazoner:
IMEI check is SIM and CID unlocking. If you are gonna do it, see my post here.
[G4] _Nomad_:
yes... using the method availble at imei-check.co.uk will very much CID-unlock your device

NOTE: There's been a lot of posts regarding this subject but the fact of the matter is that you do in fact get your phone CID-unlocked at this website despite what you may have read in other threads...
[G4] d0ug:
What are the security or other implications of handing over my IMEI to them? Is that safe?
[G4] blazoner:
No worse than handing over your credit card info to them.

IMEI Check is a reputable company, and doing what they do, it is in their best interest to safeguard your information. Also, I've never seen any complaints against them that weren't about how much they charged for their service.

They DO intimate that they can re-lock your phone remotely if you back out on payment, but if you deal in good faith, I don't ever see that as a problem.

Of course, YMMV, but probably not.
[G4] RaymondV:
How many..?

Hi,

I've heard that my device will be CID locked again after applying one of the ROMs. Does this mean I have to CID unlock my device again??

Just to be sure I can restore my backup ;-)
[G4] moonrock:
I've already paid for the CID unlocking, but it seems that the extended rom specifically NEVER installs. This, to me, seems like its not unlocked if that isn't working, or at least not fully unlocked. I've run the unlocking tool (from imei-check) 3 times now, I believe, and installed many different ROMs.

How can you CHECK if the unlock worked on a G4?
[G4] arc:
moonrock You may check CID having started Prophet in mode bootloader and having started mtty142 and take command info 2 - You see your CID.

imei-check does not do unlocking ExtROM this absolutely area miscellaneous.
[G4] coolfire74:
Could you please explain how to do it more clear? Thanks!
[G4] moonrock:
errmm, yeah that wasnt clear! i dont understand. :(
[G4] mestrini:
Check this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=290831 where it's explained what arc is talking about in first paragraph ;)

[XDA Assist] aman765:
So I have a Verizon LG G2 phone that I rooted. I was installed Clockwork mod but then I heard that TWRP was better so I tried to flash it. After that whenever I boot into recovery I get a" secure boot error" ,I think it is, and then the screen goes black and it will re-boot. I tried to flash other recoveries with other flashing tools but it still will show up with the same error. I was thinking that maybe it had something to do with the bootloader and Loki. I can't find any help and don't know what to do.
[XDA Assist] It_ler:
I find many such reports.

E.g. here, here, here, here and here.

You can read these threads ... maybe there you will find a solution that can fix this issue for you too.

And here is a guide for fixing the LG G2: LG G2 > G2 General > [FIX] NO Recovery mode, No download mode, after OTA on rooted LG G2 ... maybe not exactly your situation.

If it cannot help in your case, please post your question in LG G2 > G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting ... hopefully an experienced user with your device can point you to a fix quickly.

From what I know the reason sprint doesn't have root with the others is because it was given an update the other carriers never implanted.

Yeah, wrong thread. Got very excited for about 2 minutes
[Sprint LG G3] SilverZero:
LG won't be unlocking the bootloader anytime soon. Go read the thread in the main G3 forum for the discussion.

MY understanding is that the reason the LS990 doesn't take the same root exploit as the other variants is that the directory structure is different so the vulnerability doesn't exist as it does on the others. Whether that is due to an update (that must have happened at manufacture as it was different on launch day) I can't say. And there may be other reasons, but that is the one I know about.

There is at least one method that is pending release, but the most optimistic date we have is mid-August, and my guess is even later owing to some bad eggs stirring the pot.

The answer to this question, every time somebody starts a thread like this, is WE DON'T KNOW when we'll get root, but we PROBABLY will and all we can do is WAIT. It's not for lack of interest that we're stuck waiting, so pounding on the door won't get it open any sooner.

Final thought: This forum will explode with threads all saying the same thing when a method is released, so you won't miss it. :)
[Sprint LG G3] haoleflip:
I heard it was out already, but it's just not being posted here for everyone else. There was a guy with a Craigslist ad in PA that was offering to root ZV4 for $50, but of course you have to meet him as he doesn't do it remotely. Jcase confirmed that he was legit in another thread.

Therefore, someone is being stingy...
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Ummm...SilverZero found and emailed him a few weeks ago. At least I think it was him.
[Sprint LG G3] IM0001:
There is more to the work of releasing a root then being stingy. If people like you keep trying to turn it around like you are entitled to the work of others, it will only keep you waiting longer. So Stop it!

There are a ton of reasons not to release it even if Root is possible, the actual process of Rooting the device may be a technical process that 90% of users would screw up and end up blaming the creator for.
[Sprint LG G3] haoleflip:
First, I don't think I am entitled to anything. I am just making it known that it is available and has been confirmed available, but someone is holding out. Nowhere did I say something like "give it to me now or else" or anything of the sort. I was just making it known and yes, I am waiting patiently like everyone else.
[Sprint LG G3] SilverZero:
I didn't find him, somebody else posted about him, I just contacted him to get info. Honestly, I wouldn't pay 50 bucks even if I was local to him, I don't have that kind of money to spend on something like that, but he seemed genuine in his goals and his reasoning.

Anyway, the point is, let's not get at each other about being patient or acting entitled or whatever. We're all in the same boat. We're all waiting patiently (or impatiently, but it makes no difference). We can't sweet talk the devs who have the means and the knowledge, and we certainly can't manipulate or intimidate them into moving any more quickly than they wish. Heck, jcase is in Vegas with his family and was laid up with a fever and a sore throat to boot, and he's still been working (on other devices, but still). He's not just sitting at his desk reading these threads with his fingers tented and an evil grin. It's just not at the top of anybody's to-do list. We just have to trust that it's moving up every day.
[Sprint LG G3] wojo797:
I have no problem paying for him to root , he did the work. I am local and hope to hear back as I responded to his ad.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
Under status, Network shows as 'Unknown', Mobile network type shows as 'Unknown', Service state is 'Out of service', and Mobile network state is 'Disconnected'.

IMEI shows as nonnull (valid), and IMEISV shows as nonnull (valid). I'm not sure where the issue is, i'm assuming it is somewhere in the modem, but I flashed the NG3 Modem multiple times.

Not really sure what is wrong, can anyone suggest anything to restore my phone before I try something else again?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
I downloaded the stock tar (the full one) here, and selected AP with it. To be sure that my bootloader is updated, I later used the modem/booloader here and I used the right one (900T) and followed the guide at the top of that page for setting "BP" for bootloader and "CP" for modem. When I run the bootloader check command (getprop ro.boot.bootloader), it returns NG3, so I think that's fine too.

I have the 900T (well, this IS the t-mobile galaxy s5 thread).

I probably should have backed up, but I tend not to because I have rarely ran into issues on my previous Note 2 and the times I did, the backup wouldn't have fixed it (usually because the recovery was too big or the modem got corrupted).

And I did use factory reset multiple times, I don't have much on the phone right now and also have an external sd card where I store most of my things anyways.

Specifically, what part of the settings would you want to see?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
NG3 Full Stock Tar: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567722728

^ That was what I used under AP.

When I try to repartition, is says "Erasing USERDATA Partition...\nSECURE CHECK FAIL : PIT".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
No longer boots after nand erase all. Since the partition failed, I unchecked it and just left NAND erase checked.

Any other suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
I don't know why or what [MENTION=5353566]fffft[/MENTION] is trying to get you to do but touching the things you are could end up bricking your device if not too careful.

All you need to do is select the full tar file under "AP" and uncheck the reboot and F reset time options.

EDIT: You need to extract the tar file to get the MD5 file that is what you flash in Odin.

If you have no data, just check that the APN settings are properly configured.

I had to flash the tar file a couple times before the modem upgraded. But don't touch PIT or NAND erase.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
I didn't just erase the NAND though, I also added the .tar.md5 file that I pointed to earlier, which should have added back the system files. Well in any case, I flashed TWRP, and according to it, the Data partition was not properly partitioned (and thus not mounted) and I wiped that with TWRP, and installed another custom ROM (ViSiX), and it has the same issue right now ("Searching").

I did try the earlier S5 images (NF6, which is what the phone initially came with), and I flashed the proper modem/bootloader there also, but it still has no service.

I know that the sim card is working because I still have my other phone (note 2), and it works fine in that. I still don't understand what about the S5 that is not working. It doesn't even say no service anymore. It's just searching...

by replacement firmware image, do you mean the whole stock rom image? Or do you mean just the firmware, as is given in that stock collection thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
Also, 'had to flash a couple times'? Why on earth would there be non-determinism involved in a phone? I'm genuinely confused.

APN settings appear to be the exact same as my previous phone, and it shouldn't be the issue anyways because the APN is only useful to look at for network use right? I can't even call/text, since it says that I'm not registered on the network.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
I don't know why but the baseband doesn't always flash. So flashing it twice in a row usually does the trick,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
I did just try the install modem twice in a row with no luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
What's the best recovery to use with this phone? I'm using the twrp that you can download on their official website right now, but from what I remember, on the Note 2, if you install using the 'wrong' version of TWRP, your service won't work.

Also, another thing that I've noticed is that during the initial one time initialization, instead of saying "Samsung Galaxy S5 (T-Mobile)" (or something like that), it is now saying "Samsung galaxy S5" without the T-Mobile addition to it. I think that it has to do with the recovery that I flashed, since it's what determines the phone model more than anything.

EDIT: used to say "Galaxy S5 ..." and now says "Galaxy S5"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
I'm talking about the entire md5 file.

I use twrp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
Does the download mode have something to do with it?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
Yep, I was trying to install the entire md5 ("G900T-UVU1BNG3-MODEM.tar.md5"), unless you meant the full stock rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2754957

^ I ran through that first post, and did as it said without any improvement.

How do I check the certificate status?

From what I can tell, no one else is having the issue (or at least no one has yet posted about it). And as I've already said, NF6 didn't work either (it was working when I got my phone, but now doesn't work after trying to revert everything to stock).

APN info is certainly correct.

I didn't unbox this phone, so I'm not actually sure that it's the right model, but its first boot showed the 'T-Mobile' display screen, so I see no reason to doubt that it's a 900T. I will recheck this just in case.

EDIT: I found the certificate status i think

The page says "IMEI Certi: PASS, 1\nUnknown"

also includes "REJECT:6, LU_ATT#: 0", "SERVICE : LIMITED", "STATE: DEREGISTR SUB:1", "PA STATE:0(ET),HDET:0", "and a bunch of numeric values above it. Band 4, BW 10MHz, MCC-MNC, TAC, Earfcn_dl, PCI: 0, RSRP -94, RSRQ -10, SNR 17.4-22.1

What does it mean? What is "LU_ATT"?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
Solved!

For whatever reason, it seems that the person who sold the phone reported it as stolen (according to T-Mobile customer service, a phone marked as lost will not be able to access network services) at around the same time that I flashed the update. I did think something was fishy since I didn't immediately lose network. I feel like I was on NG3 for at least a few hours before it stopped working, but I thought I might have just been imagining things, since the timing was just too close to properly make a note of.

Well, thanks anyways, I appreciate the time you two took to attempt to help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
The people who sold it to us told us that they never sold it, but luckily, since my mom works for tmobile, we got the imei unblocked within a few hours, so it was fine in the end. Perhaps they would've done that for non-employees too, but not sure about that.
