I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DATA LOSS / DEVICE MALFUNCTION(S)

Have You recently Lost Data (and/or) GPS After Installing a Custom ROM to your Samsung Device?

THIS

SHOULD

*** Bring Your Data / GPS Fix / Location Services Over Cellular Network Back after Installing a Custom Rom and losing these abilities.

This

MAY

*** also work to bring Data/GPS back on a Stock ROM as well!​

​

You will Need;

USB Cable

PC

Device

Stock ROM for your Device (Search Google for "*Device Name* Stock Rom")

ODIN v1.85

***BEFORE RUNNING THROUGH THE STEPS BELOW BOOT INTO *CUSTOM* RECOVERY (not stock) and WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET, WIPE THE CACHE, THEN GO INTO ADVANCED AND WIPE THE DALVIK CACHE. THIS IS A MUST. RINSE AND REPEAT 3x, AKA DO A WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET, WIPE CACHE, AND (ADVANCED) WIPE DALVIK CACHE***​

Step 1: Download your Device Specific Stock Rom

Step 2: Download Odin v1.85

Step 3: Put Device into Download Mode (Power Your Device OFF, Hold Volume Down, Power and Home Key **if your device has a home key that is**)

Step 4: Run Odin v1.85

Step 5: Plug the Device (now in download mode) into your PC via USB Connection

Step 6: **Don't Uncheck F.Reset Time, Don't Uncheck Auto Reboot

Step 7: Click the PDA "Button"

Step 8: Select the Device Specific Stock Rom file you downloaded in Step 1^

Step 9: Hit the Start "Button" and Let the Stock Rom Flash

Step 10: Turn Device on to Get a GPS fix, and test your Data Connection!​

After you have run through these steps ^ let the device reboot (or power it on) and check to see that your Data/GPS is back online. Test Google Maps, Test Picture Messaging, Test Internet Function through a browser, Download a file through a Browser etc.​

Once you have verified that Data and GPS are back online, go ahead and Re-Flash a Custom Recovery through ODIN, Obtain Root, and Re-Flash Custom ROM (as you did to prior to Data/GPS loss)​

**FOLLOW THE SAME PROCEDURES STEP BY STEP TO RE-FLASH CUSTOM ROM**

Personally I did this with a Sprint Galaxy S5 from Vanir Rom to Stock then back to Custom OS (PAC Rom), as well as a couple other Roms. I had lost LTE, DATA, and GPS!​

This may be an old school method... It is old school because it works! :fingers-crossed: Don't be Lazy ;) and Enjoy all your Custom Android Fun!​

***Like, Thumbs Up, Donate, Whatever ya feel like, SHOW SOME LOVE IF THIS HELPED!!***​

Thanks!

I've encountered a similar issue with my Galaxy S2 (T989) running AOKP ROM, WildKernel, and TricksterMod to overclock. I'm not sure where the issue came from, but it will find my initial location, but then stop working right once I start trying to drive (when I use maps for navigating). I wasn't sure if this was an app issue, since I installed Micro G Apps, but then updated the Google maps etc. on the Play Store (does that cause problems?).

I'm interested in trying your method, but I don't want to lose all the data on my phone...
[Android General] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
Just wanted to bump this thread up a little, and confirm that this works PERFECTLY.

Was getting a 0 fix in GPS Test on the 5.0.1 GPE ROM. Flashed back to stock (make sure you use the same baseband version that your phone is currently on), finished initial setup, switched GPS to DEVICE ONLY, opened Maps, let it locate me, immediately shut my phone off. Went back into Download mode, used Odin to flash TWRP, flashed the GPE ROM again, booted up and opened GPS Test again. With my HTC Nexus 9, I usually get about 15 visible satellites, with a lock on around 8-10 of them. On my SPH-L720T, I had 32 visible satellites, and was locked onto 24!! GPS was accurate within 6 feet. For anyone that knows anything about GPS, within 6 feet on a phone is ridiculously accurate.

Thank you for the fix. The only issue I had with GPE ROM was the GPS not locking on. Now, it is a 100% PERFECT S4 ROM. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE FIX!!!

[T-Mobile LG G3] Papote3:
Ok so after some brainstorming and a LOT rebooting, I finally figured out how the boot animation works on stock G3 ROMs.

I took the animation from the Nexus 9 factory image (which is the same exact one on the Nexus 6) and made some modifications so it runs like its supposed to. It would not finish before the boot has ended, neither will it be incomplete. No matter what you boot time is

(I tried it on d851 but should work on any variant with LG based ROM. Also should work on the LG based Lollipop ROM, but you tell me...)

Instructions: (you must be rooted)

-Download

-go to /system/media folder and rename bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak

-move downloaded zip to /system/media folder and set 644 (rw-r--r--) permisions (no sticky permission needed)

-reboot and enjoy!

Let me know if there's anything going wrong or right...

So now for some technical explanation

It turns out that the ROM uses the first half of the folders in the bootanimation.zip for a different animation when booting with the Quickcircle case. No matter what they are named or the files, or what is in them; it will always do this. So I went ahead and created 6 more folders to the start of the list (part0_0 to part0_5) and just added an only image from the stock LG Quickcircle animation (if you use quickcircle case you would notice when booting up with the case).

After that I noticed that on the description file (desc.txt) you have to leave the way it is on the nexus devices: (c 1 0 part1_2) instead of (p 1 0 part1_2); because the way the Lollipop notification works is that it loops the folder "part1_3" in this case, so you see the particles until boot is complete and then it shows the "android" word and fade away before getting to the lockscreen. If I change it to (p 1 0 part1_2) it would never show the android word and would get to the lockscreen as soon as it finishes boot. If I use the "c" it tells it to complete the animation before getting to lockscreen. This is why the animation is not humongus in size, compared to other Lollipop animations for the G3 (no offense)

Next thing I did was to up the resolution, but I don't have to do it to every single image, I just set the resolution that I want in the description file, and that's it. I didn't set it to take the whole screen (side to side) because for me it didn't look that good, but if you want I can make it for you, and even set it to the stock Nexus resolution.

Also, if you want a different quickcircle animation, just send me the file and I'll see what I can do
[T-Mobile LG G3] ahmadaamer6:
Thanks for the great looking Lollipop Boot Animation! I tried it on the LG G3 vs985 Stock KitKat Rom and it works 100%. :)

Hi there

Flashing back from XDA Live to AKU 3.X ROM went wrong and now I'm stuck with my xpa v1605 swisscom device, and sonwhow CID was super CID but returned to orriginal I guess and as I can't pass it as I've SPL 1.09, I guess only an orriginal *.nbh ROM would help, I could so flash from the SD card... but I didn't manage to find the orriginal file anywhere therefore, now I'm posting here and hope to fine somebody having an orriginal ROM... or clue on how to get a flashable rom file from a working device? As I could manage to get a second running German xpa v1605... any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for all advice

[HTC One S] nikoisback:
Hello everyone,

I recently purchased an HTC One S used. For various reasons, I had to reinstall the stock software the phone came with. I couldn't find the exact matching version on androidRUU.com, and settled for soemthign close. When I boot into recovery, I see a screen saying "this build is only intended for developemnt blah balah", and then the phone reboots again, but into normal mode. I have no way of entering recovery, and therefore can't flash anything.

I've tried installing several different recovery modes, and absolutely NOTHING in this scenario changes. The phone is unlocked, rooted, and S-Off.

Anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance,

Niko
[HTC One S] Rapier:
I don't understand exactly what is the problem. Having no wifi/cell signal or the red text on boot splash screen?

For the first you could try a radio reflash since you said you're S-off. Then you might want to flash a different ROM. It should work if no hardware is broken

For the second you just have to flash a modified hboot that has that red text gone. There's a thread in which you can find this in the Themes section of One S forum. It's called something like "Boot splash screens..." but you'll find the modded hboots in it as well

Oh and to start with , you have to flash first a different recovery cause the stock one doesn't allow you to do any of the above. I would recommend you to flash TWRP 2.8.1.1 or 2.8.1.0

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC One S] nikoisback:
I was asking about the reboots when entering recovery. I'll edit my post for clarity.

I've already tried flashing the default CWM recovery adn RWRP.

The phone doesn't go into recovery mode, but just restarts as normal.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
How do you try to go to recovery?

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC One S] nikoisback:
Both from bootloader menu and applications
[HTC One S] Rapier:
And you flash recovery from fastboot and doesn't give you an error?

Could you please tell me the exact steps you make for flashing the recovery?

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC One S] nikoisback:
I just attempted flashing recovery through fastboot.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2781019

I flashed the version compatible with all HBOOT versions. My phone still cant enter recovery and is now eternally rebooting.

Reinstalling RUU.

Edit: actually I think I'll keep my phone like this for now, seeing as I still ahve access to the boot menu, just because I don't wnat to have to unlock and root it again
[HTC One S] cesargdmi:
same problem here

Hello XDA friends, I have exactly the same problem described here, except that I already have S-OFF have CID 1111111 and yet when installing any recovery fastboot more correctly says that ended when I try to enter the recovery cell displays red letters and then restarts and enters Android normally, apparently for some reason can not write to the partition recovery,

any suggestions?
[HTC One S] cesargdmi:
I answer myself.

the error was that I was with version 4.0.3 of Android, ran the RUU to 4.1.1 and now everything works fine.

[Moto X Q&A] conquesoextra:
You need to reflash the stock firmware.
[Moto X Q&A] timmytucker718:
Flash the entire stock rom? Or just recovery?
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
Recovery, revert any framework mods, reinstall any uninstalled system apps, and unfreeze any system apps.
[Moto X Q&A] TLH11:
1) Stock recovery. No it will no flash with twrp or cwm

2) All root removed completely from your system

3) Xposed framework completely removed from your system, uninstalling will not work,you need to flash the xposed Disabler zip

4) Any mods to any system file must be reverted to stock

5) Running the stock odex ROM

6) Any system apps frozen must be unfrozen

Now, i have a Noob Question, but I always had Samsung devices, they have no bootloader like the moto or htc.

I unlocked the bootloader, is it safe to update via OTA ?

thx
[Moto X Q&A] JJHunterx:
Pretty sure all android devices have some sort of bootloader.

Anyway, since your bootloader is unlocked, you shouldn't have a problem rooting.
[Moto X Q&A] TLH11:
What about the OTA for future lollipop?
[Moto X Q&A] JJHunterx:
If you have a custom recovery you wont be able to OTA. That simple.
[Moto X Q&A] LordLugard:
...or just wait for someone to cook up a custom Lolipop or stock rooted ROM flashable via custom recovery.
[Moto X Q&A] imnuts:
It will certainly flash via custom recovery. You just can't do an automatic update with custom recovery, where the system reboots itself and tries to update. If you manually download an OTA zip and flash it manually in recovery, it will work as long as all the file checks pass as I've done this several times on different devices.

Sent from my Moto X
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
For #2 you do not need to UNROOT in most cases. Using the older methods for locked bootloaders like SlapMyMoto/RockMyMoto and the like it was suggested to flash back to stock because of potential changes those processes make that could cause the OTA update's pre-flash validation checks fail.

For #6 it depends on how they are "Frozen." Apps "frozen" or disabled the same way that going Settings -> Apps -> {select the app} -> tap DISABLE button (or uninstall updates, then disable) will be fine and will not impact the OTA.

In the past freezing apps via Titanium Backup did cause problems, so it was suggested to unfreeze. However, more recent updates (like 4.4.2 to 4.4.4) did not encounter that problems, and those who froze apps with Titanium Backup didn't need to unfreeze.

If you have an 3rd party recovery on the device, when it goes to reboot and install the update, it will fail, and get the phone stuck in a boot loop.

When I've tried manually installing an OTA.ZIP in TWRP, it has errored. The only way for me to install was via stock recovery. That being said, I didn't try CWM or Philz.

As for Lollipop, you will be able to install and then flash custom recovery. As for rooting, there are changes in Lollipop, and it wont be confirmed until Lollipop hits a 2013 X, but in theory, due to the latest updates from Chainfire to SuperSU, we may be able to just flash TWRP, and install SuperSU like we did with KitKat.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] TranceChaos:
Its been a year since I bought the p600, so its out of warranty now and I want to root it. Since it is already out of warranty, I suppose I dont have to worry about tripping KNOX right?

But my concern is whether I'll still be able to get it repaired by Samsung if for some reason in future the battery starts malfunctioning, or i get some kind of display problems, or any other physical defect?

The only other problem I see with this tablet is regarding the battery, whenever I play a game (like clash of clans), the battery percentage drops rapidly, like 80% to 15% in 5 minutes.

When I plug the charger back in, it charges back up to around 80% very quickly. So I always have to keep it plugged in while I play that game. I dont see that problem when I'm watching a movie or doing any other stuff, its only with the heavy games.

So I am not sure whether I should try out a custom ROM to see if the battery problem goes away.

If it is some motherboard related problem, I want to be able to get it fixed too without having to worry about the tripped KNOX.

For Your battery issue I'd check your usage with an app like a better battery widget after you root it. As for repair you are out of warranty and samsung will repair it at cost though. And they will most likely put you back at stock. (They did on mine)

Dual boot on HTC HD2 is good. It does not affect performance of Windows Mobile. Nor does Windows Mobile affect other systems. Performance varies according to how you implement (for example Native SD will be slower than other boot methods) abd which ROM you choose.

Hello,

i have noticed that windows live ignor my wifi connection and alwayes start establishing gprs but when i cancel it it goes back to wifi and use it instead. how can i make it use wifi as default?

please note that all other application uses wifi when available except windows live (messenger, hotmail, etc...)

thanks.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] 3guk:
I don't think you can the official word on the subject is that WiFi drains your battery much faster than gprs and hence it will always use gprs. I just have to remember to turn off the phone before Windows Live.

Its a bit of a pain, but hey, what can you do...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] mackaby007:
Can anyone enlighten us all?

Yeah, I noticed that too. Strange that. I was always under the impression that turning-off your phone (putting it into flight-mode) renders all radio communication, bluetooth, phone & wi-fi incapable of being used!?!? Never actually tried though, but then what's the point of 'Flight-Mode'?

I would have thought that a registry tweak could resolve this, but I'm not that competent as these things.

I deleted the GPRS and after I was able to sign in but no contacts were shown on messenger.

Still under investigation....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] SpyderTracks:
it's not an issue with Jwright's ROM, it's the way Windows Live is configured by M$. If you read any of the WM6 threads, you'll see there is a CAB to disable the GPRS autoconnect. Just click on the attachments of pretty much any WM6 thread and you'll find it.

will try it. thanks for your advice.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] fryman:
Did the cab work for you? I was reading and it said that the cab would disable GPRS all together and not just for windows live.
