[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdyetton:
Hi Guys,

2 months ago I bought a Samsung s5 in Hong Kong.

While travelling through South East Asia this device worked fine.

While traveling through New Zealand (Old home) this phone worked fine.

While traveling through America (New Home) this phone worked fine for the first 2 weeks (on the metroPCS network).

The problem:

Randomly after 2 weeks the s5 stopped connecting to the metroPCS mobile network even though the network was available (btw metroPCS uses the T-Mobile network). It gives errors such as network not available or cannot register with network.

Things I have tried:

-Im sure the APN settings of the phone have not changed and I have double checked to see if they are correct.

-replacing the sim card with another does not fix the issue

-soft and hard reset of the phone does not fix the issue

-Getting metroPCS to refresh the service on this number does not fix the issue

Other important info:

-This phone was purchased in hong kong but it is from the Philippians according to Kies's firmware information (XTC is the country code)

-It is running a custom allianceROM that must have been installed by someone in hongkong

-The device is rooted (superuser app installed)

-the model number as shown in settings is g900f BUT when attempting to flash with odin the phone displays g900t and fails to flash the latest Philippians verison of kit-kat

I have 2 questions:

1. Any ideas why my network connection has suddenly self destructed (and how to fix)?

2. Would flashing a stock ROM to my s5 help? and if so why is there conflicting information on which model I own (g900t/g900f)?

Please help. I do have some know how on flashing android devices but i've really hit the wall on this one guys!

Cheers,

Yetti.:cyclops:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
It's not uncommon for the model # to be different with a custom rom as that is a very easy thing to edit in the build.prop. It should tell you under the battery which one it is. As far as the network issues, check to see if the baseband and IMEI are still there and not listed as unknown or incorrectly. It's possible you could get away with flashing the appropriate modem that matches with your update and that might work better in this region vs the previous one.

Please list the Alliance rom version and baseband version here in case it's relevant to your issue.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdyetton:
More info

Im not sure if this helps but looking through the build.prop file in the system folder my ro.product.local.region=GB

When in recovery mode the region is set to XTC (Philippians) using mutli-csc.

Also my IMEI number seems ok and is NOT blocked.

Cheers. Yetti :cyclops:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdyetton:
Baseband and rom etc

Thankls for your reply!

Sorry when you say "under the battery symbol" do you mean in /odins boot script on the device/ or /in settings on the phone/?

Baseband is g900TUVU1ANCH

Build Num: AllianceROM_G900F_XXU1ANCF

If the "no network" issue can be solved with the current firmware that would be the most desirable solution but going through the flashing process may be a good idea for my learning process, and will help with future updates.

Do you think getting back to a stock rom would help me?

tHANKS AGAIN!:cyclops:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdyetton:
Model confirmed to be g900t

Sorry i didn't understand the "under the battery" thing. I was lost in software world. The sticker under the physical battery says SM-900T so i guess that confirms that it is a t-moble verison (and the baseband is therefore correct).

I will try to flash the T-Mobile stock image to the phone and see if that works.

Also i will try to flash a modem (after i work out which one i need).

Cheers, Yetti :cyclops:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdyetton:
Current status.

Flashed the stock T-Mobile firmware to the phone. No success.

Flashed new modem to the phone. No success.

Will go to the T-Mobile store tomorrow to see if they can help (I doubt it but i have to exhaust all the options).

Any more help would be appreciated...

cheers, yetti:cyclops:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
By under the battery I mean like to take off the battery cover of the phone and pull the battery out and look at the sticker found there.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdyetton:
G900t.

Yep it says g900t (see above)

As per flashing a modem. I have heard that it is possible to flash any modem for any version of the s5 to the phone. Some work well and others not so much. I have tried 2 T-Mobile modems (baseband) the G900TU1ANCH and the G900TUVU1BNG3 with no success. Do you have any recommendations for a modem to try (or even a custom ROM that might help?)

Cheers,

Yetti :cyclops:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
I know that you mentioned they refreshed the service for your number, but do they have the correct IMEI in the system for your account? Metro makes a big deal about that now and you can't just take your SIM from another phone and pop it in a new one and go like you can with pretty much every other service (Cricket is like this too now).
[Nexus 7 General] AndroidSmitty:
Will someone please recommend what is the best news reader that i can add rss feeds i get off the internet? news 360 is awesome but i couldn't add vpnarea rss feed. so many to choose from but i don't know whats the best. i want one that gets updates constantly and looks good. i don't like dead ware and ugly looks. it dont mind purchasing apps because i hate adds. i also prefer for the app to have lots of options customizable and a lot nice categories to choose different news feeds. thank to everyone that will respond.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cookdav:
OK, I just acquired the Galaxy S-5 (on Verizon), after owning the Nexus-7 tablet for a year or so.

The two soft keys/buttons (i.e. 'go back' and 'show me all running apps') that are on either side of the HARD key stay lit for only a second or two, and then go away.

Is there some way to make them stay lit? (Like on android tablets such as my Nexus-7?) :confused:

(also, these two soft keys are in the OPPOSITE positions from where they are on tablets such as my Nexus-7...be nice for a consistency fix for that, too, since they go 'unlit', so you can never remember which is which) :silly:

It occurs to me that the idea for them to go 'unlit' was maybe part of some effort to reduce

battery drain. But, in this case, I for one would prefer to keep them lit ... just have them dim them down, but

please don't extinguish them!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cookdav:
Ok, I figured it out from there...

Hmm...why would it be 'better' than Nexus, when you have to memorize/learn where each key is (other than marginal power-conservation)?

I'm sure you meant to tell me just WHERE in settings to find that tweak. :confused:

Found that info from a Google... it is here:

Settings>Display>touch key light duration.

Thx for including that 'Xposed' can do the swap of locations, but now that I've got them lit all the time, it

really doesn't matter which side is which. :cool:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevRaven:
Hi everyone.

I had a 4 year old Incredible, rooted, running Touch of Blue 3, and after much abuse and the screen finally cracking, I decided to switch. I was given another Incredible that was largely unused for years. I turned it on and activated it tonight, and the USB debugging option was usable (icon showed when enabled). I'm not sure what it was running..but the OTA updates ran and finished apparently and now it seems that USB debugging (and disk mounting) aren't working. I have searched and searched across the tubes and I've tried every solution I could find. Tried different cables, tried different ports, tried different computers and nothing. Absolutely nothing. (Running Win7x64 btw) I've installed the 3.0.0.007 drivers, I've installed the absolute latest drivers, I've booted into the recovery mode and did factory resets, I installed an older version of HTC Sync and newer versions, I've got the AdbDriverInstaller..everything I've found and still the USB debugging option, while enabled, does not seem to activate.

When, using the bootloader menu, I try the recovery option..after a moment I get the red exclamation mark and still nothing.

I have absolutely no idea what to do. My previous rooting experience with this same model phone was a snap by following the nice instructions I found...but this time it's turned into a nightmare. I'll admit I'm a "follow the cookbook" kind of phone user (and not nearly as knowledgeable or as into it as a lot of people are), but I'm just about at it wits end. So I turn to you of this fabled forum for guidance.

I'm sure I'm leaving something out..but here's the bootloader info:

INCREDIBLEC XD SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-1.07.0000

MICROP-0417

TOUCH PANEL-AMELC03_16ac

RADIO-2.15.10.12.20

Software number is 4.08.605.19 710RD

Please help show how ignorant I am about the whole phone hacking scene by telling me the one setting or trick I need to to do get this back working, so I can get back to truly being able to use my device. Thanks in advice!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musical_chairs:
I don't really have an idea what is going on, but do fastboot commands work over USB? Try following the guide for unlocking the bootloader:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1600904

You already have the latest HBOOT, so it 'should' just work. If adb isn't working, you'll need to power the phone off, then hold 'volume down' down while powering it on to get into the bootloader. (you may need to use the volume rocker and power button to select bootloader or fastboot, don't remember off the top of my head and it's been a while.) From there, you should be able to continue with the fastboot commands, unlock the bootloader, flash your favorite custom recovery, and I believe you know where to go from there.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevRaven:
I've got into fastboot..but there's still nothing I can do. No USB connection is recognized in any form, but it was being seen before the OTA updates started happening. Is it possible that the updates somehow borked debug mode/disk mounting?

Do you tried to enter in download mode?

Step 1. Download LG Mobile Support Tool from here tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe

Step 2. Take out battery, then put it back while holding both volume up and volume down and then connect your phone to PC through USB.

Step 3. While phone is in Download Mode, open LG Moblie Support Tool, then click Options, then click Update Recovery.

I hope it helped. :D

[Sony Xperia ZL] Dannysbkn:
Hi everybody. I've been looking for what should i do, now that the 4.4.4 rolled out, to update my phone without losing the root access. I'm in 4.3 currently, and i did read that been on .283, you can obtain root access by flashing the .230 kernel, rooting, and then installing the .283 kernel again. But my problem with this, is that i don't know exactly what to do to get .283. I have a C6506 generic usa, so i should have the .283 update available via OTA and via PCC, but i'd prefer using OTA (since my PC have some issue i have to fix first), so i guess .283 will appear in the update center after i get to .230.

So, there exist some problem doing this(updating 4.3->4.4.2->4.4.4 via OTA)? Will it crash or anything similar :silly:?

Thanks in advance! :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] Kendosis:
Yeah you have to update to 4.4.2 first for 4.4.4 to appear, I just did the same update line 4.3>4.4.2>4.4 but I went back to 4.3 lol not really liking 4.4.4.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dannysbkn:
I see...but what about root? You was rooted on 4.3 and then you updated through OTA to 4.4.4? So there is not risk doing this?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Kendosis:
Yeah I was rooted and unlocked bootloader, I had to relock my bootloader to update via OTA. You can just reroot when you're on 4.4.4
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
I was rooted on 4.3. I just used PC companion to 4.4.4. Didn't lose any data.

Then just rerooted 4.4.4.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kopljas:
Dear all,

Somehow yesterday, my G2 32Gb decided to have only 16, without me doing anything. I have searched XDA trying to find solution for the problem. What I have did, I have flashed original firmware again and it did not help. Odd thing was that I could not get hard reset by pressing volume down and power. Then I have found topic regarding partitioning and decided to try.

Last few lines entered where this:

adb shell

su

cd /system

dd if=/system/bin/sgpt32g.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=512 seek=61071327 conv=notrunc

dd if=/system/bin/pgpt32g.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=512 seek=0 conv=notrunc

After that, phone was working normally until I did factory reset and now it is completely dead. Wont turn on, go to download mode, do not even charge (I do not see LED working when it is charged).

Does anyone have some idea?

I have found topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 - does anyone think it can be connected to problem I have.

Thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androhelp:
Hello all,

I have a rooted Micromax A58 which was perfectly working. I did a full nandroid backup of it 2 days ago. On yesterday, I was moving some system app (google maps, play store etc) to SD with some software) so that I could increase the internal memory and install some other softwares. But, unfortunately, after that modification, the phone stopped working properly (it was stucking up when the BOLT logo was reached). So, I started it in recovery and do a wipe cache and factory reset. After that, the phone is always going to Factory Mode.

Then I tried to Flash the Stock ROM using Flash Tool but was unsuccessful multiple times. After the scatter file selected, when I clicked the 'Download' (or even firmware upgrade), all time time, the phone was disconnecting/reconnecting every now and then and nothing happened after (even though I already installed the Vcom and PdaNet driver in the PC). So, I had to quit. I am attaching herewith the logs of the Flash Tool lastly tried.

Now, when I am starting the phone power button, nothing is happening.. NOTHING but black screen...

I am a bit worried.. your help very much appreciated. Please let me know for any information needed. Thanks.

It seems that the driver can not recognize the device and when I connect the phone, it is just in a loop of disconnecting/re-connecting. Please advice further. Thanks.

You can give any reason for it not functioning.

Thank you Kapil for the advice. As Micromax service centre is not having a good reputation regarding these, so I would go for that option as the last resort.
