[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mightysween:
Before I post in the CM forum, thought I would try here first.

I am a very experienced flash/mod user and have never had a "brick" issue in many years of tinkering with dozens of devices. I have been using Cyanogen and AOSP roms since 2008.

Today, I thought I would try a CM12 build on an XT1031(cdma) knowing that even though CDMA is not operational, CM builds are unified anyway. I figured it wouldnt be like flashing a GSM ROM onto a CDMA device. Well, I guess I was wrong...

It appears that CM12 builds are indeed GSM specific, and though the ROM installed and ran correctly, it seems to have corrupted both wifi and cellular radio at very deep level.

I fastboot flashed back to 4.4.2 stock, and it boots fine. Wifi connects and grabs an IP but doesn't transfer data, and cellular stays as a black triangle. It seems to grab MIN and phone# and has correct MEID.

Eventually, after 60-120 seconds the phone will crash and reboot.

I have tried flashing stock radios from the thread here, and have also tried several other falcon stock and CM11 roms. They all exhibit the same behavior...boot fine, no networks, and crash after a minute or two.

I find it hard to believe that flashing a ROM would physically damage BOTH wifi and cellular radios. One or the other I could understand. But this seems like a deeper problem at a base level of the phone...below ROM or firmware.

Is it possible that changes were made at at the /persist level? Is there any way to reflash the /persist partition with a stock image?

I have access to bootloader and recovery (currently TWRP). Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I really just want to get wifi working... plan on using it wifi-only anyway. But it would probably be good for the community to document the problem and see if we can figure out what caused it and if it is fixable or "brick-worthy"

Thanks!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mightysween:
Got it fixed.

I didn't notice, but the CM12 build automatically upgraded the bootloader to 41.13. I was not able to fastboot flash the motoboot.img and boot.img files because they were the wrong version. Once I flashed it with a 4.4.4 version of motoboot.img and boot.img, I was able to flash the system partition back to 4.4.4 stock and it is working 100%.

So, if you are reading this and are in a similar situation with "preflash validation failed" or other "downgrade" errors, check your bootloader version. If it is 41.13, you will need to manually flash 4.4.4 images.

Now, I am just stupid enough to try this again...this time with a custom modem/radio image ;)

Has anyone noticed wearing marks on the bumper on the Neo Hybrid case? Mines starting to get really bad. I assume from being in a pocket and going in and out. I will be contacting Spigen soon.

Mines starting to bowl out of shape.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Is that a white mark? Mine broke in about a week of use so it returned it and I couldn't be happier. Spigen needs to get some better QC before I buy another case form them. Their plastic screen protectors are excellent, but their cases are hit and miss :/
[Nexus 6 Accessories] dsmitty166:
Yeah it's white, like the top coating is rubbing off and exposing the bare plastic below

That happened on my Note 3's Neo Hybrid after 7 months not a week or two. I would contact them because that's terrible quality for such a short time.

Hello,

Currently a Note 3 user but will be meeting a person from Craigslist tomorrow to get a Note 4. Was told that it is an unlock version of the phone which makes me nervous as most fakes would replicate an international version instead one by a specific carrier.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone can post a screen cap of the CPU Z - SOC and System.

I would really appreciate it! Thank you!!

So i have been searching and i have found out that the one plus one supports these bands according the their site.

GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz

WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/8

LTE: Bands: 1/3/4/7/17/38/40

will this give me tmobile 4g and lte support

i know tmobile uses 1700 and 2100 for a majority of the network and on gsmarena it says it has it but with the bands off the official site does it support 4g and lte

thankyou

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] kidallstar95:
Ok, i Got hotspot on STOCK lollipop (leaked build), and this is how i did it. It took a few tries

YOU WILL NEED:

1. ROOT

2. "Wifi tether router" app

3. Patience.

Now let's begin :)

1. Purchase and download the app

2. Use the galaxy s5 setting he has on his website.

Now here comes the tricky part.

3. Go back to the main screen and open the notification bar and set the system hotspot button close by.

4. QUICKLY Tap the native hotpot toggle to turn it on and the notification bar should automaticaly slide up, when it goes up turn on the router app.

5. A message saying "you have not subscribed to this service blah blah" from sprint shoud appear. DONT CLOSE IT YET.

6. Look at your wifi toggle, it should be turning on itself. When it does QUICKLY Close the message and turn off the wifi toggle. (It will take a few tries)

7. After you quicly

[CODE]

[/CODE]turn off the wifi it should not turn on again. If it did you were not quick enough.

8. The router will finish setting up and your phone will be a Hotspot.

I will make a vid if anything.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] deachus:
I installed this app on my Sprint S5 after rooting and when I click on "Check System Settings" it says sqlite not found, attempting to install then it says sqlite seems to have failed installation, are you sure root is working.

I have run Root Checker and it says I have root access. When I start native hotspot it says Hotspot Activated then it says Unable to to establish wireless data connection MIP:67, then says Your plan may not have Hotspot service.

Any help with this? What am I doing wrong?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
What ROM and what version are you on? Try using sqlite installer from the play store, then come back to the unlocker app and click the next few buttons, reboot and things should work.

Also having busybox installed is sometimes needed depending on your ROM version.

Im good. Problem was native hotspot wouldnt work when i was connected to my home airave. Left house and tested and hotpsot works great

So I broke my note 3 screen and would very much like to pull the playlists off. It's a rooted tmobile note 3 running jedi, powers on, connects to pc, and volume changing works, just screen and digitizer are dead.

USB debugging should be on but jedi had been stable for months and I've been too busy to do a lot of tweaking, does it turn off if unused?

Should be... Used stock music app.

Unauthorized in adb

rejected in screen@android

Owner of loaner phone doesn't want loaner rooted, no Titanium

Kies apparently won't grab playlists

Playlist folder just has 0b pla files

I realize that I might have to do this...

Restore random phone from my titanium media backup

Restore new loaner phone from that backup

But that involves putting pants on and making eye contact to get access to a random rooted phone, any ideas that I can try from my butt?

[Android Themes] bubbly193:
I do do basic Android dev stuff (i work primarily with GNU/Linux, so I know underlying basics on that end of the OS), but I'm primarily a Graphic Designer, so i have decided to start making Bootanimations. I primarily develop for 600x1024 devices, specifically the Amazon Kindle Fire First Generation, but will develop for other devices.** I am looking for ideas and brainstorming, so I know what people want. Any ideas?

Bootanimations generally don't break things as long as the aspect ratio is correct and the animation isn't too much for the device to handle, but if you put the bootanimation in the wrong place/don't know how to use a root file manager you can do damage, also different devices/ROMs work differently, so do not change your bootanimation unless know your device/ROM and it's spec/limitations, and you know what you're doing.***

[Sprint LG G3] ccsultima:
So I rooted/Bump'd my phone awhile back using StumpRoot and flashed this BARREN Odex & Deodexed and I also put in TeamWin's Recovery Project v2.8.0.0. I disabled OTA updates on my device.

Well, I recently did get an OTA for a newer version of my Android OS which I figured would be okay since I was basically using a flashed but stock ROM that was Android anyways. I let it download the update and after it restarted, it only loads up the TeamWin loader. I can't reboot to recovery or anything.

I used TeamWin to wipe everything except the system partition and my phone still isn't loading up to the ROM. I tried using this tutorial on using the LG FlashTool to get it back up and running and it keeps failing on step #20. I don't know what else I can do.

I am not very experienced with the whole bootloader/ROM/rooting/whatever scene so I am doing everything I can and nothing is still booting the OS. I figured the OTA removed the root on the device and is why the ROM can't load but I'm not sure.

I'd really like some help if anyone can provide it.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdlesher:
I'm sorry if this sounds annoyingly silly, but if I do factory reset on my Nexus 5, will that delete all of my pictures, PDF document, videos, music, etc2?

I am aware that the app will be wiped clean like how the phone is first received, but I'm not sure if factory reset will also delete all of my stuffs I mentioned above as well.

The reason is, I tried flashing 4.4.4 to my android from android development page. Initially, I was a bit skeptical when "flash-all.bat" is not working because fastboot says there is no "system.img" in the zip file. So flashed the .img files one by one, and everything looks good.

However, when my phone tried booting up, it got stuck at booting animation for hours. I suspect this is because I have a lot of app in my phone and the fact that I'm going from 5.0 to 4.4.4. So I'm thinking of doing factory reset, but I just wanna make sure if I really need to copy all of my stuff first because doing this takes quite some time as well.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Yes, see your other post on this subject
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdlesher:
Yeah thanks for the answer over there.

I'm still curious about flashing 4.4.4 though.

IIRC, last year when I run the "flash-all.bat" script, it seems to work just fine, but now it doesn't. I wonder why?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
If you get a bootloop after flashing the image boot into recovery and then do a factory reset
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdlesher:
Yeah, that's what I thought too. Hence the reason I'm asking for this factory reset thing. Thanks again and sorry to everyone for making a quite unnecessary thread.
