[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chaitanyapatwari:
Yes, I have been trying this on a working sim with an active data plan which is currently working on my xperia.

Over the last 2-3 days, I have learnt that flashing a wrong ROM sometimes might corrupt EFS folder that stores IMEI,serial number etc., and reinstalling firmware through ODIN(which requires to download original stock ROM separately) or KIES software might restore the lost EFS folder.

I thought of giving this a try and accordingly reinstalled the official firmware but without any success.

Can someone redirect me to any such guides/threads that might help? If it doesnt happen then I would like to close this thread and create a new one for EFS related troubleshooting.

Hi, I'm new to kindle fire, got mine rooted yesterday (towelroot) + xposed + Play store.

Wonderful tablet, faster and smooth.

But I like the Google home, back and search buttons.

Is there a way to replace it?

Unfortunetly I do not have my original T-Mobile software/rom on my Hermes. Also I can not find it on the FTP. Could some please put their T-Mobile DUtch rom there?

Thnx
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] scorpio16v:
Sorry,

but I think there is no T-Mobile Rom offered by T-Mobile.

I'm searching for a german rom myself.

I've dumped the rom of my device and that is possible with a dutch rom too, but unfortently you need a signed romimage to play it back to your device.At this time there is no way to do it.

I have the 8GB variant of P780. It says that it has a 1GB RAM but I only have about 300-100 free RAM everytime. I always kill all the apps but it only gives me upto 350, what happens to the remaining number? I'm not even running any apps in the background. Ever since the kitkat update, this never got solved.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nwwolf1:
I've had this problem since December or so now, (whenever CM11 came out) and I've tried asking for help everywhere, including here before. But I'm sending out one final hail mary request. For some reason, whenever I download a 4.4 Rom for my phone and I have my wifi running, the phone will freeze after I hit the power button and will not turn the screen back on at all or it will freeze while I'm using it. The only way to get the phone back on is by doing a battery pull.

Here is everything I've tried: various Roms, various kernels, different steps to install (full wipe, wipe cache, etc.), I've even unrooted and gone back to stock to start from scratch and it still happens.

If anyone could please help me out, I'm stuck running 4.3 and I want to be able to run 4.4. Hopefully I can finally find a fix for this issue I'm having. I don't think it's faulty hardware because one other person or so has had the problem as well. Help me XDA, you're my only hope!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmgib:
What firmware do you have? Since you mentioned different kernels, are you still on MDK? Have you ever taken any if the OTA updates?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nwwolf1:
Yeah I'm still on MDK. And no I never did an OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thesoldier:
It happens to you all the time now? I've been so busy with work and school now that I hardly have any time at all. I really do want to pinpoint the issue before I throw this thing out the window....lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nwwolf1:
Me too ha, like I said this is my final hail mary. If I can't get it fixed I'm going to buy a new phone and I really don't want to have to do that. I'm praying one final time for someone to figure a fix for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nwwolf1:
I've used CWM and TWRP. Currently using TWRP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
This what I would do if I was you.

Flash full wipe MDK tar file

Root using towelroot

Install latest TWRP via flashify

Flash jrkruse's stock 4.4.2 NC5 rom for MDK, picking the stock talexop kernel in aroma.

If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nwwolf1:
Will I be able to still run AOSP Roms or will I have to stick with TW?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
No you can still run AOSP roms, the only way you can lose MDK bootloader is if you flash firmware in Odin that is anything other than MDK, or if you take an OTA update while completely stock.

I guess I should say that after rooting stock MDK via towelroot, use a root explorer to delete SDM.apk and FWupgrade.apk from /system or /system/priv-app to prevent the phone from auto-updating before you flash a custom rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nwwolf1:
I'll definitely give it my best shot. Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Good luck, just letting you know, that full wipe tar file will wipe EVERYTHING. So make sure you have anything that you care about backed up on am external SD card or the cloud.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nwwolf1:
Yeah I've got my music and photos backed up on my external SD and contacts backed with Google, those are really the only things I care about.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] R32_Rocky:
I just got a brand new M8 HK, and it is bone stock at the moment. Suddenly, all sounds when I press apps, back button, or any input have stopped. It will vibrate, but no sound is made. In sound options, it is check marked to make sounds, the phone is not set to mute or vibrate only. I still get clicks when typing on the keyboard, and both music and video play sounds. All sound bars are at max levels. This is driving me nuts!

I have tried unchecking, checking, rebooting, pretty much everything I can with a limited options on a non rooted phone. Is there something I am missing?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] R32_Rocky:
Could anyone please check if you get sound when you click on any input? Like the 3 soft buttons on the bottom, or click an app to start it. I'd swear it used to make sounds like my EVO 4G LTE did. Am now wondering if one of the 3 OTA updates that installed may have messed with the sound options?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
With the "Touch Sounds" option enabled I get a audible click every time I touch the screen, including the nav buttons at the bottom.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] R32_Rocky:
That is exactly what I am talking about! So I am not crazy, or imagined I had heard them. Now they are sort of missing. I went to the Sprint store to have it checked out. You can actually hear a very faint click, if you hold the speaker right up to your ear. Just barley audible. We tested every M8 they had in the store, and same thing. Each was within one sw version of mine. So we think HTC may have a bug in their latest stock OTA updates causing this. Sort of like either a volume slider is missing to set this, or the link to an existing slider (perhaps notifications level) has been broken in the updates. So next step is I need to contact HTC.

Thanks for helping out!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] R32_Rocky:
Just got a call from HTC yesterday, and now have an official ticket number for this issue. Said a tech would be contacting me soon to work on this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AnJarBo:
Hi everyone. I'm having some serious (or at least I think so) problems with my I777. I live in Colombia, and I bought it over two years ago, had it shipped over by a friend, unlocked. Up until today I'd been using it normally, without any major problems.

However, the last couple of days it started behaving strangely, (turning itself off every once in a while, losing data, etc), so I decided to update my rom today.

I tried to install a new CyanogenMod 4.4 from this site, but I got some kind of status 7 error and it didn't behave properly after that.

Next thing I did to try to fix it was flash a stock JB 4.1.2 rom via Odin.

It worked, but that's when the major problem struck... Apparently my phone got locked for AT&T again or something. It's not recognizing my sim-card anymore. It shows the "no-sim" notification on the top bar, yet it also shows it has a signal (no data, just phone signal), even when my sim-card isn't inserted. When I go in the settings to try to access the mobile networks it says insert sim card even when it's in there.

I did a lot of searching and I used GalaxSimUnlock, which I got from this site too, and it confirms my phone is unlocked.

So basically... What the heck happened?? Is it possible that after three years of using it perfectly with my Colombian sim, the AT&T lock just "came back" or something after flashing a stock rom?

Any clue guys? :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pepe100:
If you used galaxsimunlock the unlock is permanent.:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
After you flashed back to stock, did you try to root again and flash another custom ROM?

I could be wrong on this, but the AT&T stock firmware may not be giving you the choice to register the SIM or change the APN settings for you particular network. I can't confirm this though as I never flash to stock long enough to actually use it. I always root and go back to something else immediately afterwards.

The only suggestion I have is to go back to a custom ROM and try again.

If you are trying to go to KitKat, be sure you have the newest compatible recovery (CWM or TWRP) as the versions of those that work with JB will not allow you to flash a KitKat ROM. There are plenty of threads that will tell you what versions you need. If it's an SGH-i777 model then all you should need to get the proper recovery is to flash one of the two KK compatible kernels as the recovery is packaged with them.

Good luck!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matias M 73:
Hi all !!! Sorry for my English but I need your help

I commented what is happening with my phone N5 (which for good and evil is always stock without root or anything, with corresponding OTA updates.)

1- Yesterday afternoon at lunchtime while reading a book in playbooks, I notice that suddenly disappears one line and then appeared intermittently. I close the app and noticed the same thing happening on the screen menu. I shut down the cell and turn on again and I thought it must be an application be kidding. But still does.

2 Also yesterday I happened to change the security on the phone screen. After a while of normal operation, try to turn it on the screen with the button, nothing, the screen goes "black", with light and retrolight turned on but no picture no nothing .

Called the cell to see if it works or is turned off and the phone rings but the screen nothing. Try turning it off and on again by holding the on / off / lock button and the phone restarts, but the screen nothing. In one such attempt to do the above it is seen that managed to turn it off. And I get it on and do a normal boot, except that the picture of my screen is changed to the original. Change the lock screen which was previously using (slip). And it seemed that out or some conflict with the lock. In one of those again pressed the ON / OFF / lock as would normally and it starts all over again.

After I magically back to life, I want to make a full wipe as I think it should be an app that is doing some conflict or something. BUT ....

3I turn off the phone and then press the keys VOLUME UP / DOWN and ON / OFF is normally off, squeezed the first screen with the options but options RECOVERY / BOOTLOADER appears in red I choose RECOVERY give the ok with the key and .... andriod robot appears with the legend below that says something (I do not remember well) without or without controls options appears. So its seems thatI dont have recovery.

After that keep pressing the key ON / OFF and the phone turns off and / or reboot normally. All this I did it again to see if the error reappears and looks that I do not have recovery.

The failure of the screen is increasing. I dont know if they are separate problems or is it all the same problem.

Sorry if I was too long but I need the help of you.

UPDATE Now it seems that the screen died, since I do not achieve to turn it on as before, the light and the retrolight its ok. The phone receives calls and notifications but the screen stills black.

Thanks all.

This is a strange problem I've noticed with my MDA. I searched the site but couldn't find any other related threads (hope I'm not the only one :cool: )

Anyway, I've noticed that after a couple of sync's a previously loaded program is no longer there. They're not ones I use everyday, so sometimes it takes me a few days to realize "hey ePocrates is missing". Or TCPMP, or Handango inhand, etc. After the initial installation, they were working fine.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] reekotubbs:
Hello All,

I have had this problems several times in the past and just recently experienced the same issue again. I search for a solution and tried everything from re-entering the message center number to factory resetting the phone and starting again. The latter was the only thing that worked for me in the past, but this time I refused to loose and start over.

My case may not be your case, but it shows that digging a little deeper may help you solve the issue. After solving the issue this time, I realized that the same issue may have been causing this issue in the past. I always install some type of start up manager and it is usually ES Task Manager, which has a Start-Up Manager.

I have always disabled all application from starting on boot that are not android system apps, including the stock messaging app. I believed that starting the app after the boot would be fine, but in the stock messaging app's case this was not true. For some reason if the app is not starting during boot, you are not able to send SMS. So after re-enabling this app all SMS issues disappeared.

I hope this helps those that have been plagued with this issue.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Could either be,

1. Hardware problem (problem with the power button).

2. Software problem (ROM-related).

But since you already sent in your phone, you can't really confirm the problem. Had no problems with my N5 when it comes to this. But either way, a repaired version would fix you right up.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
I Already Factory resetted the phone and it was doing the same thing, it's 100% stock so I would say HW

Even in the bootloader if I scroll and tilt the phone slightly it would register it as a press.

So I have an LG G2 on my hands, I've dropped it twice now and the second time the screen shattered. And now it won't register any touch at all. My dad is going to India soon and he's going to look for someone to fix it there (because its cheaper in India I think). But the problem is, I want to back up my data before he does it and I don't know how to any more. I've tried plugging it into the PC but it won't register the device any more, tried installing usb drivers via device manager but no luck. Can'd do anything on the phone either because no touch. I'd be happy to be able to do a remote wipe, don't even care about the data any more. Just don't want anyone else to have the data (no there're no nudes on it, but other sensitive / personal data).

Any suggestions?
