[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekkilm:
So what I read your sadly history., your phone dosent regodnize it ether with battery? Did you get it succesful with or without battery? Cause I read HTCmania it is possible have succes without battery, is it true? In my case it has to be driver issue or driver signatures.... I downloaded win 8 x32 and will try it tomorrow without battery. Cause I quess my battery is empty. I regodnize that when I plug the microusb to the phone a little bit, the red light shows and I quess it will charge it a bit (~5min) and after that I plug the phone to the pc it shows qualcomm QDLodaer port not usb device. But It will discharge pretty fast and then pc regodnizes it as USBdevice. So what is my question is, Is it possible make that process without battery? :) Thank you, I really aprechiate your help.

P.s. Sorry my bad language, and one thing is sure. I wont send phone back in china. :) I´ll fight on my last day with this thing :D

Be sure that you install the correct drivers for COM port accordly to your OS.

And yes. I played so many times with my phone trying to get back alive that I ended with an empty battery (post #6 on my thread). By that time I had to remove the battery till all process is completed and restart the phone.

Like I said it took me 1 month until I was able to do with and like you one thing was sure...I won't send it back either :D

Good luck...you gonna need it :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekkilm:
That your story gives me so much hope and that spark to not give up. Like I told you earlier, if I some miracle get that phone back in business I'll bye you a BEER! :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekkilm:
Hey. I did exacly what is in your instructions (recover k910) for prepare things . Can you explane why my device show as a port but in conf QPST it just hangs on half a way? Here is screen what I mean. And yes, I installed win 8. x64 :D but still that anoying broblem. This is why I ask this about you beacause your battery was also drained like mine. ( I plugged the phone to the pc battery unplugged.)

Tell me what was your magical touch secret. :D [IMG="Here the screen pic..."]http://postimg.org/image/mofnziaz9/[/IMG]
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
That's one the of anoying problems you'll find like i.

U had to be quick enough in order that QPST won't losse COM connection.

Most probably your QPST in that "midle way" disconnects as COM wright?

Well...keep tryng...i did it for one month :D :D :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekkilm:
I did this. 1. (Disable signining) Installed QPST, reboot/(Disable signining). 2. Plugged phone to pc, got port/QHSUSB Bulk-> updated drivers win7x64 folder, reboot/(Disable signining). 3.Installed Lenovo drivers, (Disable signining). 5. Unpacked rom C:\bin/..6. Change the flash_local. 7. Open that Device manager and QPST config. AND THIS IS THE PART WHEN I SEE MY PHONE AS HALF A WAY PORT. It won´t dissapear there. It just connects and hangs on the half way, if i do the rest of instructions i got just emmc QPST hanging "download" and will search the device... aaaaand the result is "device not found"...

Actually, when I connect the phone to the computer it will only appear as in the picture and stays there. I do not have a big old USB cable. Do I need it for that purpose?

Hello i have an htc one m7 rooted unlocked s-off running cyanogenmod 11(kit kat 4.4.4) and i would like to install the stock htc camera app that is comes with the stock rom.. not the google camera...but the one that has all the features that htc has zoe burst shot etc.

Can anybody tell me where can i get it

Do i need to do something special to install it ? (install a zip from twr recovery for example)

i tried to search the web for the apk but did not find it.

If i download the image of the stock rom where will be the camera located in that archive ?

I need a little guidance

I can accept other camera but i want it to have the features that htc stock camera has.

Thank you!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You cant. Without HTC Sense framework and the needed Sense files the camera wont work. IT is part of the reason HTC went with a software based camera. This way it forces you to use HTC or be stuck with a 4 mp camera.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eradokir:
I found an application called "A better camera" and it does all the things that the stock htc camera does but it can allso take pictures in the dark without the led and still maximize the light it captures (a thing that the stock camera does not do).

So i got the things i wanted from stock rom..while using the things i love to have from cyanogenmod

I got my OnePlus one yesterday and all was good, installed a few apps from the playstore.

Then I updated play services and some firmware updates and get a 'RPC:S-7:AEC-0' error when I tried to install/update apps.

I've tried all the usual fixes, clearing data, removing accounts and rebooting and even a factory reset.

Still can't download any apps :(

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cschanck:
I have this on my GNote 2 (Verizon) as of last night; never heard of it before and the dearth of information on the internet indicates it is a pretty obscure problem. I have my phone backed up via TiBu, so I am not too fraught. Support had me factory reset the phone, no dice -- even other accounts can't instal anything.

Left with a phone with no apps, I activated an old iPhone 4s that was one of my kids before the last round of hand me downs. Surprisingly not awful, but the screen is a postage stamp. Boy, do I miss 4G.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotton666:
One thing I find annoying about the Z2 compared to my last HTC is that when I want to turn the volume down to silent I have to fully unlock the phone, by turning it on and swiping, before I can adjust the volume. With my old HTC I just had to push the power button and I could adjust the volume from the lock screen.

Is there a way I could get the Z2 to do this? Maybe an xposed mod?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stress40:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hovo:
Hi all... I did a bit of searching around but I'm still unsure of what to do, so forgive me because I'm sure this has been asked plenty of times and I know you all must be sick of seeing this question, but I just need to be sure so I don't mess anything up! :P

For the most part I haven't touched my S4 since I initially set it up. I'm still on MDK, CleanRom 1.6 (LOL) and still MDK. I've only updated recoveries on this phone (updated to the latest TWRP a week ago). Phone's on 4.2.2

I understand that MDK is too useful to lose so I have been very scared to play around with my phone and mess something up. I've always considered flashing various ROMs Ive found on this forum but never did it since I didn't wanna lose MDK.

So I guess what I'm trying to get at is how can I get my phone up to date modem/kernel/rom wise without messing anything up?

Again I apologize because I'm sure this gets asked all the time, but I appreciate any advice :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scrillakev:
You would just flash a new ROM via TWRP, the same can be done with modems. I never touched the Kernel just stayed with whatever was baked into the ROM I flash.

You can view some ROMS on here http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/development ( I suggest Dan's GPE ROM) stable and smooth as hell.

You can also download and flash modems from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2487298 (Flash MODEMS only)

By doing this you will not lose your MDK/Loki Hacked bootloader. Hope this helps. Oh yeah be sure to read and re-read those posts before doing anything. ;]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hovo:
TY for the response!

I'm still a bit confused though. How do people end up losing their MDK bootloader then? Is it certain roms that they flash?

My previous phone was a Droid Charge where you had to flash to the stock version of Android that a certain ROM was on before you were able to flash that ROM so it's like a completely different process with S4's and it leaves me really puzzled lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scrillakev:
Others can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe alot of people just end up taking the OTA update from Verizon which locks down their device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thesoldier:
People either have taken an OTA, or flashed a full image of a newer firmware in Odin. As long as you have an updated recovery, and flash a ROM meant for the vzw s4, you'll be good. You should go ahead and update your radios too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
Please do not update from MDK. I will trade you my S4.

I have a Virgin Mobile S5 - and was thinking of rooting it and a recovery also.

I see in the Sprint S5 area it will work (I did similar with my VM S II)

Anyway; is there a way to get a backup of my Stock ROM? - There are no V.M. ROMS in the lists (or anywhere I look for that matter) except Canada and it is different.

I wondered about something like Rickys Rom Kitchen to get a ROM BU - I will read that post and see if I can make any sence of it all.

I ask, just in case something was to happen - and without a Stock Virgin Mobile ROM I could not get it back to stock.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Since you gave details of actually having searched (most people claim they have, but really didn't), I did some digging for you.

The reason that you are having difficulty finding stock Virgin (US) firmware is because Virgin US is a Sprint MVNO (Virtual Network Operator) that is wholly owned by Sprint since 2009. This means that Virgin US uses the Sprint network and is supported by Sprint vis a vis the Virgin US offices in New Jersey.

As a MNVO, Virgin US uses the same S5 variant as Sprint, the same MCC and the same firmware. Only the CSC, MNC and APN info (and a few branded apps) vary. Moreover, since Sprint is using multi-CSC firmware, the firmware is often tagged as SPR (Sprint) or Unknown when it actually is the original, stock firmware for Sprint, Virgin US and Boost (another Sprint MVNO).

So the original firmware for your phone is in fact the Sprint version. If your phone currently has Virgin US firmware on it, then installing the multi-CSC firmware should retain your correct CSC. If it was me, I'd just do a quick check afterwards.. your CSC should obstensibly be VMU.

SPR = Sprint

VMU = Virgin US

BST = Boost Mobile

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w8wca:
Tkx for the details ffft

I may just go ahead and root it - and put a custom recovery on also.

I rarely have had issues with my cell phones (Warranty that is)

I just would feel better if I could restore it.

I do not know much at all about Cell Phones and the terminology (I looked up a few of them you have here)

I just found a way to check these (by *#1234# ) and came up with:

AP G900PVPU1ANE5

CP G900PVPU1ANE5

CSC G900PSPT1ANE5

I do not know what the AP and CP are but at least I can check them
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
AP firmware version

CP radio version

CSC sales code (region or carrier code)

The long CSC is a bit cryptic. But you can use an app like Phone Info to get the more commonly used three character code. Or if you are rooted, you could look at the build.prop file.

Great thread

Really loving your thread. I just came from a broken s4 to Virgin mobile s5. I understand Odin/root/rom installs/returning to factory stock to update etc...

Obviously Virgin Mobile s5 threads are limited here and would like to work together and update each other.

I got root without tripping knox "not cf autoroot method" but "towelroot" method.

First thing we need to work on is getting the .tar file for odin to return to factory stock if something happens.

With all the updates that will probebly be rolling in soon im reluctant to install a custom recovery because you can't update it "over the air."

Second thing is i have no idea to get a official thread going.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowman280x:
Other thought

I orginally came from a Virgin Mobile Evo 4g 3D and the ROMs was aroma based. There was a specific setting if you had a sprint or virgin mobile phone during the installation. I believe it's about having to change APN settings and whatnot. Need to research this Sprint/Virgin Mobile/ROM duo more and what exactly needs to be changed.

Im confident the Sprint ROM itself is good. Just particular settings, one for example, the APN needs to be switched back to whatever Virgin Mobile is.

I need your help desperately! I just got my virgin mobile s5 yesterday and I am new to running Custom ROMs. I rooted it and successfully installed PhilZ CWM Advanced Touch. From here I think I skipped a step in CWM to make a proper backup (yeah I'm that noob). Well I successfully installed Slimkat and got it to run on my phone, but I couldn't configure the APN properly on virgin mobile after countless installations of different "universal fixes" for the vmu apn. Now I can't get it back to the stock firmware! I am downloading the sprint firmware right now, specifically the G900PVPU1ANE5_G900PSPT1ANE5_SPR.zip. I couldn't find virgin mobile stock firmware.
