[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Frankenscript:
My experience is that without the proper I337 configuration, certain apps wouldn't install from Google Play. This included some expected issues, such as ATT apps (like ATT Messaging app) that would be expected to be specific to ATT supported phone models, but also lots of other apps just wouldn't show up in the store when I browsed on the phone that identified itself wrongly as a Verizon phone. Sort of random hit or miss.

You can restore the identification of the phone by flashing the ATT build.prop/APN file, but that somehow interferes with hyperdrive tweaks app.

The dev has said build 18 should work better for ATT phones... if so, it would be awesome. He put an incredible amount of effort into this ROM. I had to leave it due to the "+" addition messing up incoming/outgoing calls, plus the phone model ID issue. Prefixer app apparently can fix for some the + issue, but I never found enough details to properly edit the build.prop to identify the phone for google play. However, I was in a hurry and didn't have a lot of time to mess with it.

I look forward to investigating version 18 when it comes out.

Thanks for the information, Marc. But the link is dead!!!:crying:

After reading some more about this problem, I've decided to try a few more things. The first one was the most basic: Restart the phone! And guess what? It got stuck on the Samsung logo screen for a long time. After 30 minutes starring at the swirling logo I got dizzy and decided to restart it again. Same thing happen, over and over again :eek:

After some [yet] more reading, I've decided to reflash (see steps below) the Hyperdrive ROM again, but got stuck on the Samsung logo screen for over 30 min. Back to reading some more, and at this time I've reflash the GE (GoldenEye) ROM. Same result: got stuck on the Samsung logo screen!!

Any advices?

These are the steps I'm doing:

(Root steps were done only once, when the phone was stock)

1 - ROOT:

Note: Good video (just skip the step to set Permissive - see easier approach on #1.4) -http://youtu.be/2bDe_-mB7Rw

1.1 - Root with towel root (https://towelroot.com/)

1.2 - Install SuperSU (PlayStore) and let it disable Knox.

1.3 - Install BusyBox (PlayStore) and let it cook

1.4 - Install SELinux Mode Changer (PlayStore). Run and set it to Permissive.

1.5 - Install Safestrap (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45693712)

2 - Replace/Install Hyperdrive ROM

2.1 - Flash Hyperdrive (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2520418)

2.2 - Flash SuperSU.zip file. (http://download.chainfire.eu/451/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip)

2.3 - Flash NB1 modem zip file (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46762296&postcount=1).

2.4 - Flash I337 Build.prop/APN (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51112381&postcount=9)

3 - Replace/Install GoldenEye ROM

3.1 - Flash Goldeneye (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2313469)

3.2 - Flash SuperSU.zip file. (http://download.chainfire.eu/451/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip)

3.3 - Flash NB1 modem zip file (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46762296&postcount=1).

3.4 - Flash I337 Build.prop/APN (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51112381&postcount=9)

I've also followed these steps http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2313469&highlight=stuck+on+boot&page=151), but still the same issue:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Frankenscript:
Which link was dead?

I've seen in the past month several posts of problems of people with NB1, so I recommend starting over via ODIN to Stock NB1, flash to NC1, then re root / safestrap and try the rom again. Also, when you flash the ROMs in safestrap, were you wiping system/cache/dalvik etc.. first?

Marc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tsaxman:
Mark,

The link you posted initially

Yikes, I was fearing not go the ODIN route (or root? :silly:). Does anyone know where I can get ODIN and the NB1 and NC1 stock? (I'm not being lazy and will search for it. I just want to make sure I'm getting the right files)

I still don't understand why did the phone booted, setup, and I was able to make a call and then simply failed to reboot? Do you believe that maybe the Build.prop/APN was broken? what happened if it was not installed?

Thanks.

T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tsaxman:
Mark,

I've realized the 'broken link' problem. I've copy/paste the text Build.prop/APN and noticed that it has a URL property "Link added by VigLink', which points to nowhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Frankenscript:
Oops. Not sure where the viglink thing came from. Here's the download page for the build.prop file:

http://d-h.st/6tN

Links to ODIN stuff including NB1 ODIN-flashable file and NC1 update (flashed from stock recovery after NB1 return to stock is done) are found in the all things ATT thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2616221

See post 1, the Returning to Stock / ODIN section.

FWIW, I always use the stock NB1 (not the rootable NB1 variant) then flash the NC1 update. I had one bad experience with the rootable NB1 (couldn't get wifi to work after ROM flash), and never quite figured out why. Doing NB1-NC1 only takes a few extra minutes, so I stick with that.

Marc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tsaxman:
Thanks a million, man. Downloading and trying that now.

BTW, other than I should have done NB1 to NC1 prior to install the ROM and since you've already done all this (on GE 36, right?), are the steps I've outline correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Frankenscript:
By now with some luck you are on GoldenEye, but yeah, the steps you outlined are correct.

1. Get to NC1 stock.

2. Root / SuperSU / SeLinuxModeChanger (sometimes needed sometimes not) / SafeStrap

3. In safestrap: advance wipe everything but SD card then: Golden Eye / SuperSU / NC1 module / ATT APNw/Build.Prop

Should be golden. Let us know how it went!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tsaxman:
Marc,

I am up and running. Lot's of work, but everything seems to be working in order now. Loving the debloated GoldenEye.

Just one more thing: The Build Number now reads:

Venomous-Droid v1

Is that right? Shouldn't it say something like GoldenEye?

Maybe I should stop looking at the Build Number from now on, but I can't resist :cyclops:

Again, thanks for the help man. Forever grateful :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Frankenscript:
Glad it's working out. Hit thanks if I helped. :) (EDIT: Just noticed you did! :good: )My build also shows venomous. My guess has been that our GoldenEye dev used some pieces of Deadly Venom, and acknowledges it via this method, but I don't know for sure. The important thing is that as far as Google Play is concerned, our device is an I337.

I presume Wifi is working for you? I was chatting with another user similar to us earlier this week, and going through the steps he had trouble getting wifi working, even after flashing the modules and everything. Not sure what caused it but glad you seem to be up and running.

In other news, I've just bought a phone on Swappa, a T-Mobile version of the S4, sim unlocked (so should work fine with ATT), and the T-Mobile phones come with unlocked boot loader. So, as long as I don't care about knox, I can install full recoveries and play with different kernels and such. I'll get the phone in-hand next week. After checking it out, it's bye-bye locked boot loader.

HAve fun with Golden Eye. It's been rock steady for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tsaxman:
Yes, Wifi is working fine. I'll continue testing over this weekend and will report back Monday.

Seems like you're reading my mind. I'm just looking into the Unlock Sim threads and found this... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54772758&postcount=286, which points to the Saferoot thread/download http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565758.

The important part (at least to me) was the comments..

I don't know much about Wanam or Xposed, but do you think these can unlock the SIM on just trick the system at a higher lever (as indicated) for some other reasons?

Oh, the last link on the page points to file to NC1 users

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppdd:
I'm trying to keep Google+ functionality, and manually sync it with Synker and Tasker and it's not working. Nexus 5 on 4.4.4 here.

Inside Settings->Accounts->Google->xxxxx@gmail.com there are options to disable individual apps. I'm interested in:

Google+

Google+ Photos

Google+ Uploads

As long as I'm logged into the Google+ app, I can't disable those sync options. If I disable them, they just re-enable within a few minutes.

If I log out of the Google+ app and the Photos app, the option to disable those sync features disappear completely. When I open the app again, Google+ logs me in and the options reappear, automatically enabled.

Is there any way to actually keep Google+ around without having it automatically sync all the time?

FYI, I also have Auto Backup disabled in G+ Photos, so it's not that either.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masok:
Hi guys,

I've been having this problem with my N5.

Its a d820 model, unlocked and rooted.

I have no signal, cant register to the network either.

I can use wifi with no problem too.

I changed the micro sim card with other carriers, same issue. I asked for a new micro sim to my carrier too (not cut), but still getting the same problem.

It's worth mentioning that the micro sim works flawlessly. Im using it everyday on an HTC One S and signal and data works perfectly.

When I first get the simcard on the N5, it asks for a reboot, after it comes back up, it shows strong signal, but I can't make any call or receive, no messages either.

After a few minutes, the signal goes down and it shows only emergency calls.

Going into mobile networks and searching for my carrier takes quite some time, but no matter how many times I try to select my carrier,it always comes back with not able to register in the network.

I did a factory reset, and went back to stock, and then performed the system updates to 4.4.4.

I flashed a couple of radios as well, but no luck.

The IMEI shows well, and its the same that shows on the box, so I guess no problems there with a corrupt IMEI.

Has anyone else had any problem like this? Any suggestions?

I've been reading some threads here, and I still have to try a different kernel/ROM, but if anyone else knows of a similar situation, I would appreciate any suggestions.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctor_droid:
May be it has something to do wid preferred network...

If u use 3g go to dialpad

Type

Select modem as wcdma only...

If u use lte select lte only... See if this works

I think I already tried that, but cant remember for sure

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krs360:
Is the phone second hand?

Have you checked if the IMEI is blocked by the network?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
sounds like you bought a used phone that has been blacklisted. if blacklisted, your phone wont work on any US carrier, and many Canadian carriers.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masok:
Yes its a second hand phone, and I don't know if it is blacklisted on USA, but Im in South America, so that shouldnt be a problem

And there are no carriers here working with N5 so they cant blacklist the IMEI either

(This doesnt mean that the phone doesnt work here, actually, my wife has another N5 that works like a charm here)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
the carriers dont have to work with the n5 to blacklist it. in other words, they can blacklist any phone that connects to their network. as soon as you connect to the network, they know your imei and other info about your phone. anyways, they blacklist your imei, so when your phone tries to connect, it cant. the agreement that carriers have in the US and Canada, could possibly be for all of the americas, or, in south america, they could have their own blacklist.

googling, i found that carriers worldwide are sharing blacklists.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masok:
I will check on that, I think I can just call my carrier and ask if that IMEI is blacklisted or not
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yup, thats the best thing to do. the people that first answer the phone, customer service, probably wont be able to help, maybe someone in tech. or, use this website to check(there art other sites as well).. http://swappa.com/esn
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masok:
Well I just checked. IMEI not blacklisted on my carrier, also checked with swappa, not blacklisted either.

I used the *#*#4636#*#* to select wcdma as well as other options there, but still no go.

Also, under Mobile network settings, changed the preferred network type to LTE, 3G and 2G, but no luck

Tried Choose automatically the network, but still getting the message that its unable to register to the network right now and that I should try again later

I guess Im left with flashing some other ROM/kernel to see if it helps, unless someone has any other suggestions

also, what kind of nexus 5 is it, a d820 or d821? it would make a difference signal-wise. ones for north america, ones for europe. honestly, i have no idea which you would need http://www.phonearena.com/news/Differences-between-the-two-Nexus-5-models-D820-and-D821_id48985
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masok:
I don't know if the problem is with the carrier, since I'm using the very same simcard with another phone and I have data and network with no problem.

The phone is d820, but I know it works here (my wife has the same one), network 2g and 3g work well here, LTE is the only thing that won't work here with this phone but I don't care about that

I'll keep looking just in case, and I guess tomorrow I'll flash different ROM

If the problem is wid radio flashing a different rom won't matter ..

Have u tried flashing a factory image ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masok:
I know flashing a new ROM wont help with radio, but I've seen that using *#*#4636#*#*, going into phone information and then Select Radio Band, gives me an error and force closes.

I've seen some threads about that, and someone saying that it was working on a CM ROM, so I was thinking of trying that in order to be able to select the radio band and see if that helps.

About the factory image, yes, I used the google images to go back to stock, and then performed the system updates.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masok:
Well I flashed Slim Rom, and was able to get into *#*#4636#*#* to change radio band. Tried them all, no change.

Played around with the preferred networks and no luck either.

I'm officially out of ideas, but I'll keep digging around to see what I can find.

Any suggestions welcome.

Also, I know that there is a known issue with the GPS signal on some Nexus 5, and there are a few videos on Youtube showing how to fix it (basically opening the back of the phone, and sticking a piece of paper under the connector).

Does anyone know if there is something similar happening with the radio? Does anyone have a photo of the phone showing which part would be the antenna?

One additional thing I noticed.

If I switch, or just take out and reinsert the micro sim, the phone asks for a reboot. After doing that, when the phone boots up, I see I have network (full bars), going into mobile operators, I can see my carrier, and I can register too. But I cant make or receive any calls or messages.

During this 10 minutes that I have this sort of fake signal, if I go into *#*#4636#*#* and phone info, I can see my carrier, but it doesn't show my phone number. Weird.

Hi,

I am really not into flashing and stuff like this, but some weeks ago I successfully rooted my device and installed a custom bootloader (teamwin). Today I wanted to do a clean wipe to install cm11s on my N5. So I launched into recovery, selected "wipe" and unfortunatly I selected "advanced wipe" also. I checked everything and started the wipe process. Dont ask me why I did this, I wasnt thinking obviously. When I boot my device now, only the white Google font is visible and underneath there is a locker. I can start recovery but since I wiped everything I can not install the stock rom again. Also my PC doesnt recognize the N5 as a "harddrive" so I can not move the stock .zip to the device. The device manager is displaying it as ACER DEVICE, and under portable devices it is displayed as Nexus 5 with a yellow exclamation mark. Any tipps how I can get a rom on this device again?
