Take a leap

Okay well everyone else is saying never flash a pit file but I ran into the same problem and I actually had to flash a pit file BUT you're only able to fo it on MK2 SO FIRST odin back to a fresh install of NB1 uncheck the reboot option in odin after the firmware finishes and says reset on odin unplug youre cable remove youre battery and stick it back in then use the VOLUME UP HOME AND POWER KEY you will see an android with a progress bar GET READY after its done the phone will reboot hold up the volume and home it will reboot into android recovery and then use you're volume keys scroll down to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition after that hit reboot system now we're done with that part this is the second part PART 2 after the phone fully boots up and youre at the welcome screen power off the device go into download mode volume down home and power this is where we are able to DOWNGRADE TO MK2 ITS ONLY POSSIBLE FROM NB1 TO MK2 ONLY HEAD OVER TO THIS THREAD http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2663545 and download two files JFLTE_USA_ATT_16G.pit that's going to be youre pit file and then you need the MK2 firmware AP_I337UCUEMK2_.tar.md5 I'll give you some time to download them it takes a little time........Okay we ready? Good now load up the two files the pit file in the PIT and the Firmware in the AP NOTE you will see now the repartition box checked LEAVE IT its because of the pit file that its checked! Now we are going to uncheck the auto reboot like we did earlier after Odin says phone reset unplug cable remove battery stick it back in and same thing volume up home power then wipe data factory reset and cache partition then reboot phone should boot up to MK2 now the only thing thats not working at this point is the wifi dont worry about that go through the setup process dont worry about any of youre information we dont care at this point go into settings and check and see if all of youre stuff is back baseband imei everything if it is then great thats what we wanted now we can go back into download mode and use odin and upgrade back to NB1 WE'RE DONE! Congratulations everything should be working properly you're now on NB1 you can take OTA to NJ4 if you want or stay where you're at install safestrap and a custom rom I hope all has went well for you and everything works out!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tigerx88:
I will def. try this! For the first part, I am already on NB1, so I need to do it again? OR can I skip straight to step 2? (P.s, when i flashed NB1, I didnt follow this whole procedure ( flashing, then resetting etc.) i simply jus flashed it as per Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] brownie9987:
You can try as-is

You may not have to re-do it, you could probably go ahead and just skip to part two I just always recommend doing a clean flash but if it doesn't work then just simply go back and try that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tigerx88:
Ok, and when I downloaded the files off that link, its downloading as an application... y is this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] brownie9987:
Dev host?

Is the site dev-host? If so they been having problem from people trying to spam their site I have the files on my computer still if you cant get them to download I can upload them but if you haae wifi on you're s4 you should be able to use it to download them
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tigerx88:
Yea it is dev-host, but when I try to download it, it takes me to firstfirst.net and its the same file name but a application type file :confused::confused: Tried both the download links lo (I hope im not just not seeing the right download mirror)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] brownie9987:
Spammed

Yup it got spammed that sucks while like I said I have the files myself I can upload them to my dropbox and post the link
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tigerx88:
Actually I think I found it haha!! ( Check the exclamation mark where it says: "file links !", that seems to be a hyperlink) is that right? Gonna take a while to download, but I will try what you said as soon as its done and let you know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] brownie9987:
Should be right

That should be right its like 1.4 gigs it only takes me 12 minutes to download with IDM internet download manager great windows program for stuff like this it speeds everything up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tigerx88:
Its actually 2.2 GB (Filename: AP_I337UCUEMK2_1921628_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5). Is this right? Just want to make sure. I am going to redo the NB1 Odin etc. now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] brownie9987:
That's it

Yup that should be the one I forgot that one isnt compressed

Hey browine, so I went back to MK2 with the partition, but once the phone started up again, I still see that my baseband is unknowwn and imei is null/null when I check with *#06# (wifi not working as you mentioned)... :crying:

What can I do now?? (Tried putting SIM in after and no signal).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] brownie9987:
Looking

Right now I'm doing the best and looking everything up but right now be prepared to odin back to nb1 and make everything stock and collect insurance on the device at this point if you haven't had the device no longer than a year you can send into samsung and theyll fix it at no charge and if its been longer than a year youll have to use you're carrier insurance but I'm working on to see what I can do to help

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tigerx88:
Hey, so I am trying this and did everything to root, but EFS pro is stuck on Initializing ADB Server;cant figure out why... any ideas ?

Edit: So i got EFS pro to work (downloaded a different version and had to download busybox app along with it). Anyway, I did a back-up and restore through EFS and it seemed to go through, but I still have Baseband and IMEI back :(

Anything guys ?? Completely at a loss here, need your experience!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] upncoming:
Does the s4 support dialer codes? I'm used to the s3, so I'm not sure. I think it might be firmware specific on the s4. If so then an nv restore via the service menu might help. The dialer code to access the menu is *#197328640#

After that, I'm not sure what changes were made to the menu on the s4. On the s3 you would go to: umts>common>nv rebuild. Then you'd wait about 30 seconds and reboot.

If that doesn't work, then you've got a bit more difficult road. My next idea would be using qpst to download your nv items from your phone, rewriting your IMEI in hexadecimal to the file, and then uploading it back to your phone with qpst again. I'm not even sure which lines the IMEI will be located on for that phone. It's not fun and that block of nv items could still be write protected.

Do a search for nv backups, restores, imei fixes, etc. There's actually a lot out there for it. It used to be common on the s3.

Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tigerx88:
I tried the dialer code, but it doesnt work. I am not sure about the rest of what you told me (I dont have too much experience). Is there a tutorial or anything online I can follow to try this?

Thanks for the help.
[G3 General] andrewloh:
I have tried various modded version of D855 20A Lollipops and found that none of them comes with Quickmemo+ TACTION, its very important feature I keep using LG G2 & G3, I use it to do screen capture with annotation/ highlighting but apparently it's missing from Lollipops or being removed. Anyone can help with adding it back to the 20A Lollipops so that I can use Quickmemo+ TACTION screen capturing and sharing in one step ?

Already tried HW overlays, build.prop mods, WiFi optimization off, nearly threw my phone on window. Still flickers on apps with BLACK background. (e.g poweramp, GTA SA, etc etc.) the flickering disappears on apps with WHITE background (e.g Opera classic, play store, etc) any help? will be appreciated :)

Android 4.2.2 running AOSP

EDIT: the problem doesnt appear to show at logcat, and whenever I take a screenshot, the white lines (it comes after flickering. this white lines appear at the bottom of navigation bar or should i say under the screen.) doesnt appear on the screenshot. i think this is a hardware problem. tried factory reset, change rom, etc etc.
[General Topics] hartlezzevolved:
Here's the picture of the flickering. Thanks guys
[General Topics] zelendel:
This is known to happen on clone devices due to using sub par hardware parts. IT is even harder to fix without the kernel source for the device.
[General Topics] hartlezzevolved:
Youre right sir. Its a clone of XOLO a500l. But I just went today on my phone's customer service and they said that the LCD needs a replacement? I cant understand this problem. Is it hardware related or software related? Btw thanks for your response sir!

Most likely the hardware gave it. This not new when they use sub par hardware.

I believe Nine, which is a fantastic paid ActiveSync app, allows you to set the PIN at the application level instead of device level. Far less annoying! I don't have the PIN requirement on my EAS account so I've never tested

As I'm new to this I started by checking the Wiki for the Prophet but didn't find anything.

I downloaded the beautiful looking Iphone theme from DeviantArt;

http://www.deviantart.com/download/48246741/

Se image below.

In my mind I expected to find one exe file to run but the theme included quite a lot of small programs. Where do I put all the .skn files and so on in order to make it work!:confused:

Can someone please help me with this "stupid" question I would be very gratefull.

You'll need Wisbar advance or desktop to use that.

hope it helps...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] decknologist:
There are various threads about making your device look like an iPhone within the General forum. With those threads and the above file you should have no problems setting it up.

Unzip the file and install the today themes. Copy the icons to your device/storage card.

Decide whether you are going to use iLauncher or cLaunch and unzip the application. Check out how to associate applications using your preferred launcher and associate those apps with the icons provided within the pack.

Phone alarm within the pack is V1.56 (1.58 is now available from their website - www.pocketmax.com) but it is 18.50 Euros (Although well worth the money in my opinion). Install and apply the appropriate skin.

As far as I can tell you don't need WA or WAD to use this pack (as Xusso has suggested above). There are no WA/WAD components within the file anyway.

Support on using Phone Alarm is available on their web site.

Information on using cLaunch can be found here.

I have never used iLaunch but it should not be too hard finding instructions on how to use it.

Take the leap and have a go at putting all the stuff together yourself. You will learn a lot about your device and the programs by doing so. If you have any problems ask the board . . . .

Good luck!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ohamn:
Thanx for the info....

Yes I will certainly have a go at it following your instructions.

I will get back with the result!!

Nice one! I am glad you managed to put it together. I notice you have XnView Pocket as well. An excellent freeware app.

Did you find setting it up yourself useful? The more you play, the more you learn . . .
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ohamn:
It was kind of frustrating to set up CLaunch, but now as I know how it works it easier on my temper!;) At first I didn't get the start bar black no matter what theme I used, but after a couple of hours on the forum following various threads i found a Theme from Diggia that did the trick. It's amazing how much knowledge there is "out there". Some threads are on "simple matters", like mine, but some are really advanced. It kinda gives you complex for being such a noob at this!;)

I certainly will hang around and who knows, I might actually learn something!!!!:p

[SuperSU] Gurkirat_Singh:
Hi

I have a question please do answer as quick as possible it's a request

My device is Micromax AQ4501(or Micromax Canvas A1)

I have installed all the mtk drivers and also flashed cwm recovery but when I boot into recovery mode and connect my phone with PC and open the mtk droid tools , the colour of the lower left corner is green saying A1 root shell. And as we know it should be cyan blue to create backup and also I tried to make backup, while it was green but it doesn't created the whole backup only some of the small files appear.

Can you tell where did i do wrong or can you tell me any other method to create flashable stock ROM backup.

One more question does rooting and cwm recovery effect the stock ROM backup, if not then how I can convert the backup created by selecting backup to external SD card in cwm recovery mode.

Any help will be appreciated , Thank You.:confused:
[SuperSU] yshalsager:
Why are you connect your phone with PC?

Boot into recovery using buttons or app

rooting and cwm recovery don't effect the stock ROM
[SuperSU] Gurkirat_Singh:
Actually I was trying to make backup of my stock ROM using mtk droid tools by connecting phone in cwm recovery and I faced the problem I mentioned above.

So now can you tell me full method to do it ( everything mentioned in previous reply).

Thank you.

philZ Touch 5 CWM Base Version v.6.0.4.4

Info from booting into Odin: Knox Kernel Lock 0x0

I do NOT have an "invalid sim" message or anything like that.

I am unable to send sms/mms and would greatly appreciate any help. I am very, very new at this..

The phone does not appear to correctly register on the cell network. It asks to activate (on the cell network) and it always fails, the recorded announcement: "the service you are attempting to use has been restricted or isn't available." But I can make phone calls... Just no sms/mms. In settings > about phone > status > there is no phone number etc..

I purchased this phone unlocked and verified it by using it with my t-moble sim card. It already had philZ Touch 5 on it, part of the unlocking process I assume.

I've tried a few different ROM's, none have worked yet unfortunately.

cm-10.2.1-jfltespr - stable - Can make calls, no sms/mms

cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-jflte. - Can make phone calls, no sms/mms.

Thank you so much in advance for any help getting this phone working. :good:

re-flashed cm-ll-20141130-NIGHTLY-jflte and all is now working. :D

Hello. I was wondering if Line messaging records user chat, voip and video calls in their servers after I have cleared or deleted my chat history? I make voip and video calls and I'm concerned about my privacy whether they keep it or not. I read about a few companies who say, they record no user data, whether it's chat, voip or video. I'm not sure about Line. If anyone has any information on this, please share. And if they keep, how long the companies generally keep them, and can they be retrieved?

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theog72:
Okay bear with me here. I received my phone back in August and it was working just fine up until two weeks ago when I got lazy and didn't want to wait for the OTA update 44s so I downloaded the zip file and flashed it. Everything seemed to be working fine because I could make phone calls out and texts so I assumed all was good.

This however was not the case. I can no longer receive incoming calls or texts. Here are the things I have done: Went up to my cell carrier( Metro Pcs) had them put in a new sim card and that didn't work. They reset my APNs still nothing. So I went home and I decide to get the OnePlus root toolkit and take my phone completely back to how it was when I first got it. All the way back to 22Q, which I did. Then, I let it update over the air all the way to 44s stopping and checking each update to see if I could get texts or calls and I couldn't. I had recently installed google voice about the same time this started but took it off the phone, even went into privacy settings and turned on privacy gaurd for all of cm11s voice+ functions even though I most likely didn't need to with google voice removed.

I also did the *#*#4636#*#* and rest my smsc number and then hit update and still nothing. Many calls to Metro Pcs and they tell me it's a device issue. Why can I make calls out and send texts just fine but I can't receive anything? Any ideas will be appreciated. I've done all I know to do unless it's a something with the radio file that got corrupted by I would think it wouldn't work at all or intermittently.

Thanks, Theo.

Haze you done a full wipe and flashed the fastboot images?

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theog72:
I've done a factory reset, then I used the OnePlus root tool kit and in fastboot mode and put my phone back to how it came out of the box 22Q . Now by full wipe, wouldn't my doing a factory reset or wiping through the OnePlus root took kit qualify as a full wipe? I was told not to wipe the internal storage, just wipe everything else.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You can't trust toolkits to do a job properly. In my guide thread (link in my signature), in section 8, there are instructions to flash the fastboot images. You can do it with or without wiping the internal storage, but I'd be wiping the internal storage to make sure it's completely fresh.

Yeah I was wondering if maybe something got corrupted. I'll check it out. Thank you for your replies by the way. :)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theog72:
Okay, I tried everything exactly the way you explained. I used fastboot commands to wipe my phone and install 44s. Then I installed TWRP and re rooted. The same damn thing is happening. I've heard others having the same issue as me. I took a picture for you when was I was in the *#*#4636#*#* prompt. I ran a ping test on my phone and oddly enough it came back : Fail: IP Address Not Reachable. My wifi was on and so was my data and im on my laptop now and it works fine. I read somewhere someone else said soemthing about the modemfs getting corrupted? I know this happened after I flashed 44s without waiting for the update. So damn frustrating.

Picture is down below.
