[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moogly507:
I have a brand spakin' new Verizon Galaxy S5 I got from Amazon a couple days ago. I have it connected to my Gmail account, and that's working like a charm. It looks like everything is working fine, except this strange issue:

I've setup my business email address on the device (the email is self hosted from a CentOS server running Postfix + Dovecot for authentication), and the app refuses to connect over WiFi (but works just fine when I'm connected to 4G).

Checking the "Incoming" and "Outgoing" settings, all it tells me is that it's "Unable to connect to email server to verify your account information. No response from server."

I've gone to "whatismyipaddress.com" to verify that the IP address (IPv4) is the same on the phone as it is on my laptop computer (which connects to the server perfectly fine). I've also double checked port settings and server name, and can confirm that every server setting is identical on the phone as it is on laptop.

Tailing /var/log/maillog on the server, I don't even see the phone attempting to connect, so this is either a firewall issue on the server (unlikely), or a wonky setting on the phone that is somehow preventing it to talk to the server.

As I mentioned, the phone connects to the server perfectly fine over 4G. The only difference I can see is that the phone has an IPv6 address over 4G, and an IPv4 address over WiFi.

Thoughts?

(Oh, and I may be unable to respond for a while - I possibly won't check back on this thread until Monday, Eastern Time).

hi moogly, ur ip address on ur phone should not be the same as ur laptop(pls correct me if im wrong)......

i suggest u to try to change ur wifi settings on ur phone to DHCP instead of static, same goes to ur laptop.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moogly507:
When I said that the phone's IP address was the same as the PC's, I was referring to the public IP address. You're correct that the private IP address should be different, but when the phone is connected to Wifi, it should have the exact same public IP address, as its internet connection is going through the same router as everything else on the network.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moogly507:
It seems that my problem has resolved itself.

After turning Wifi off and back on a number of times, and removing the email address completely and adding it back in, I noticed that if I selected "Accept All Certificates" underneath Security type, the emails would flow just fine, whereas when I selected SSL or TLS without the "Accept all certificates" option, the emails wouldn't work.

Now, to root my old Galaxy S3 (as a practice round), and then root this Galaxy S5! :p
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CapriAnupam:
I have got a new Nexus 5. Originally, it came with KitKat 4.4.2, and KitKat 4.4.4 was available immediately, to which I updated.

Just a few days ago, I got the notification for Lollipop 5.0.1 update. Reading about several Lollipop issues on Nexus 5, I do not want to update to Lollipop yet, and I intend to continue using KitKat 4.4.4.

I also read on the internet that the major update of Lollipop, 5.1, will be released in February. So, I want to wait for that.

My question is this.

If I do not update to Lollipop 5.0.1 update, and when a new version of Lollipop is available, for example, 5.0.3, or 5.1, or any other newer update, will I get the notification for that, even if I have not installed the current update?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
I don't know for sure if you'll get the update notification or not but it won't install if you do. The updates have become sequential and you'll need to have the one before or the new update won't install.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huy_gm:
So in other words, double update at that time if you're willing to wait
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CapriAnupam:
Thanks for the replies :).

Yea, I had guessed that it might be required to install the previous updates before updating to the current one. That's no problem, and I can perform the double updates. I am willing to wait for a Lollipop version which won't have any major issues.

The issue will be of notification... whether there will be notification for the new update or not. It will be good to get it, but I have doubts about it.

Do you guys know if Lollipop 5.0.1 is having any major issues on Nexus 5? I keep reading conflicting reports about it. An article on a site says that the author is not having any major issues... but my cousin who updated to it sometime ago, is having many issues.. app crashing, and all.

That's why I think I will wait. It's a brand new Nexus 5, and I haven't started using it. Had been waiting for the Lollipop update, but by the time it arrived, I read about several issues, and was glad that I did not update.

I had also read that Lollipop 5.0.1 had been released but pulled back for Nexus 5, and I wasn't expecting it on my phone, but I was surprised to receive it.

Willing to wait for another Lollipop update, but that constant notification about system update is going to be quite a pain :D.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
5.0.1 works fine. I have no issues with it on my n5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CapriAnupam:
Thanks. That's good to know. And now you have me in a fix again... thinking whether to update or not :D. Will think about it.
[Moto X Q&A] km8j:
I have a stock xt1058 (ATT Moto X 2013) and need to root it, without wiping what is there already and ideally also to be in a position where I can unroot pretty quickly. I have no need to unlock the bootloader (unless required) and simply am looking for temporary root access. What is the best way to achieve this?

EDIT: The current Android Version is 4.4.4
[Moto X Q&A] :
See the one stop root thread in general for root methods.

But quick answer.... No, sorry.
[Moto X Q&A] km8j:
No to which part exactly?
[Moto X Q&A] :
Did you read the one stop root thread? Your answer is there.

Again though, there is no way to root 4.4.4, fully or temporarily, without an unlocked bootloader.

And on your device, there's no current way to unlock your bootloader. You can try Sunshine app (Google it for their site). It costs $25, but usually will not work on 4.4.4. You can try it without paying. It will give you an error before you ever need to pay.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicSure:
Hi all,

I installed CM11 onto my S5830i (GB) and managed to get it all working. I had to install S5360_XXMK1 modem and a newer version of CWM to prevent the "Status 7" error. Anyway, it all worked and I had CM11 up and running. Unfortunately, I had to remove it, I couldn't click any links in the browser and the browser was slow as all buggery even on a fast wifi connection. So I fired up Odin and tried to put the stock firmware on (i don't have an original state backup, the phone came with a custom rom on it already). I got these files

CSC_S5830i_BTUMD1.tar.md5

MODEM_S5830i_XXMD1.tar.md5

PDA_S5830i_XXMD1.tar.md5

But something's messing up, after Odin does its thing and the phone restarts, I notice something on the screen during restart saying it failed to format the /data partition. When I let the phone boot up normally it just stays on the "Samsung" startup animation forever. If I go into samsung recovery and try to do a factory reset, this is what I see

-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/stl11
Formatting /cache...
Data wipe complete.

Obviously, something's wrong there, can anyone tell me how to fix it pleeeeese, I'd be eternally grateful.

Thanks

NS

EDIT: I think the CM install may have messed around with my partitioning. I do not have a pit file for the phone (GB Version) and am reluctant to be using the re-partition option in Odin. I can find pit files online, but they're either not the correct version or the poster doesn't even say what version it is. I am just so lost and confused with all this.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehsanotaku:
[MENTION=6375566]NicSure[/MENTION], Flashing wrong base band into your Ace-i is ill advised mate, go to CM11 discussion topic and read my comments . ( You will damage your EFS partition,thus device may become hard bricked in many cases)

As for troubleshooting : Already explained all of the instructions in details in many places, So I will provide links/hints for now. If your problem persisted, let us know

Here we go mate:

1. Official source for your stock firmware CSC/MODEM/PDA >> this page (sammobile.com)

2. Study this topic to get the hang of Wipe flash-able packages,,, How to produce them, Boot looder and pit files required for the process , etc etc,, all well instructed here

3. Read few last pages of this topic; my comments; for more insight into your problem. Please be advised you have already converted your partitions into MTD ,therefore formatting /data ( concerting back into RFS partitions ) might be failure through CWM/e3 recovery >> Odin process is required for"stl11" .

Hope I did help you
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicSure:
Thanks but you were too technical. I have been to a lot of those pages you linked and it's not all obvious what's going on. You spoke about "base band", I have no idea what that is. I have no idea what RFS, MTD

are (file systems?), not do I know where to get a bootloader from. Sam mobile won't let me download anything without paying and/or signing up which I'm reluctant to do. I'll re-read the posts you linked to (I had already seen them) and see if something starts to make more sense.

For instance:

"Please be advised you have already converted your partitions into MTD ,therefore formatting /data ( concerting back into RFS partitions ) might be failure through CWM/e3 recovery >> Odin process is required for"stl11"

May as well have been in Klingon, I didn't understand a word of it.

EDIT:

I've reviewed those threads again. Seems I need to use split fus on the downloaded file from SamMobile (which I had to register to download, not happy about that) and use the "wipe" versions. I need a pit file, there's no info anywhere on how to get that. So I've just done a general google and hopefully I've downloaded one (more info on that is needed in the tuts). And the bootloader is attached to the unbrick thread, but, is that the ONLY bootloader? Do I need a specific one for my region? Do I need a specific pit file for my region? All this info is not supplied anywhere, Newcomers are not going to know this stuff and it needs to be made clear in the tutorials. Most of the tuts have broken links (split fus for instance), so I'm not sure if the stuff I googled is actually the same. Absolute nightmare.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehsanotaku:
Please read the link was provided for your convenient. ( Absolutely suitable for beginners).

"Robust File System" is more or less equivalent to your FAT/FAT32 of your PC ( Samsung file system Format,, not going to add "Journalling system" to the mix, since you are not a sport ,,FYI : You are supposed to know common terms such as MTD , RFS when you are massing with CM11 mate >> Read the first page thoroughly, before start experimenting with Cyanogen stuff,,,

MTD (Memory Technology Device) supports YAFFS2 as a file system residing on it and is considered some type of of Partition Map.

Again actually start reading this topic ( quite self explanatory).

This topic contains well made Wipe packages ( European version is compatible with your device, If you are reluctant to register though).

Again, Read the topic I mentioned above. You are on Cooperve device, so be aware of wrong file ( "cooperve_0623.pit" resided inside Odin3.v3.07.Cooperve folder) All of the related links already provided , Just take your time and read mate.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicSure:
I'd already read the posts you linked to multiple times thank you. They may be "straight forward" to you, but I can assure you they are certainly not so for a newcomer. Too many things are vague, missing or not explained properly.

In any case, I managed to get the stock firmware back on after trawling the internet for a .pit file, downloading the firmware, splitting it, taking the wipe versions with the pit and the bootloader and using Odin to fully flash the phone back to stock firmware, Finally. The tuts here are indeed a lot of help, but so so so disjointed.

Also, why would changing the base band effect the file system? How could it cause physical damage to NAND memory. I'm confused. I assume you mean physical damage, because if not, why would it be ill-advised to change it if it could just be changed back with no ill-effects?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehsanotaku:
[MENTION=6375566]NicSure[/MENTION], First of all Thanks button implanted here for a good reason and most likely you are the first person who was complaining about my assistance (How information is organized and distributed for new commers is not my responsibility nor distribution of step-by-step instructions ) . Second of all You were complaining about the technical terms and jargon, But know you are asking for technical reason in regard of the consequences of flashing Galaxy Y GT-S5360 inside your ACE-i device !

I did mention about EFS partition corruption, which renders your device mobile network communication useless and hard bricking of your device.which is a phone that shows no signs of power-on and will not access download mode with button combo. You did assume wrong mate.

Generally speaking, Carriers use different radio frequencies in our respective countries , Different Devices do contain different modem hardware inside, So you are not encouraged to do what you have done in the first place.

If you are not flashing the correct versions for your phone , or if the flash gets interrupted there’s a good chance you will Hard Brick your device, thus we may need hardwired access to modify/erase and rewrite chip's code ( Service is required).

When a phone is in a hard-bricked state it’s most likely that the bootloaders, which is the phones initial code to launch the phones ROM, becomes corrupted.

The only way to revive the phone is to rewrite the bootloader code, because the phone does not power on ., So you see so many things could go wrong :silly:
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicSure:
Firstly, I'm not complaining, I'm criticizing, there's a difference. I was critical of your language and terminology as it didn't match the links you posted. Also the level of technical talk you used toward a clear newbie who would obviously never understand it without clarification. If that offends you then I'm sorry, I'm just speaking my mind. Help offered, no matter how kindly or freely is useless if it cannot be understood. I generally take a very irritated approach to people who post links (with the implication that the information is freely available if you'd bother to look) in response to perfectly polite questions, especially when I'd already read ALL the posts you linked to before and had trouble with them, that is why I posted, to get a little more basic understanding, not be presented with links to material I'd already read and needed help with. Also, after some researching, with regard to the base-band, I think you're wrong, there's no way flashing a different base-band separately could effect the bootloader, no way at all. I seriously doubt it could even cause corruption, that's liek saying installing the incorrect driver for a graphics card on a PC could corrupt the file system, just no. So far I've flashed many many different MODEM types onto my phone to try to test this, in some caes the phone boots, in some cases it doesn't etc.. Not once has the phone failed to go into Odin flash mode, and if it can get to that, it can be restored. So based on research and some experimental evidence conducted to test your assertion, I'd have to say that my initial findings are that your assertion is probably incorrect.

Also I learn very quickly. My knowledge of the subject had increased dramatically from my first post to my second. I learned c++ in a day for example, and was posting similar newbie questions on programming forums to which I was later replying with a level of knowledge that wasn't consistent with my initial post. It's just me, sorry about that. And thanks for trying to help, but I got it myself.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thePanz:
Dear NicSure, I am in the same situation as yours, I was planning to "simply" (or maybe wrongly?) use Odin 3.09 and flash the Splitted files from here (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-ace/s5830i-develop/stock-rom-odin-flashable-firmware-t3002776).

But you mentioned that also the ".pit" file is needed. Could you guide me through the process you followed to have back a Stock from CM11 ROM?

Thank you in advance! :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehsanotaku:
Per your request/confirmation @ development section/twr topic i would resume troubleshooting .

What is your device variation (5830i/C/M/V/5839i ) ? Do you have any Nandroid back up left inside your SD card from your original stock firmware partitions ? Can you see your IMEI number , when you are dialing "*#06#" ? Your original stock CSC/PDA/MODEM you are coming from ? Your Region / Country / carrier you are staying with at the moment and please give me the Totoro Modem part you did flash to get into the CM11 ? and for addressing part of your primary queries , Odin 3.07 works very well with variation I mentioned above ( you could use 3.09 with no harm though , but not recommended ) . Pit file also must be relevant, otherwise you will hard brick your device in many cases I observed .
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonoflal:
Our nexus 7 has decided to stop booting. It will charge fine but if we try and switch it on it will get as far as the rotating circles and stops there, displaying the rotating circles till the battery runs out. I have done a factory reset but that had no effect either. I have looked at reflashing the OS but all the ways of doing it require developer mode to be enabled and the tablet will not boot to let us do that. Can it be activated any other way? I can`t remember if it has been updated to lollipop as my wife uses it, not me, but i think it has. Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi! You don't need USB debugging enabled to flash stock. You use fastboot to flash firmware from the bootloader screen. ?

(the adb reboot command is for booting into bootloader from inside the Android System... Which you can't do anyway)

Follow this guide,

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
To get to bootloader,

Power off the device completely.

To enter Fastboot Mode you will need to press and hold Volume Down and Power, all at the same time.– do not release the buttons.

Release all buttons when the Fastboot screen appears.

– that’s it, if you see the START option listed in the upper part of your screen you’re in.

Select Fastboot.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] terminator1983:
I have been using Gensoid 2.4.3 and i am very much satisfied with it working. The problem is that on stock 4.4 it does not save game everything else works fine. I have tired it on all my rooted stock 4.4 devices like S4, Razr M and now on Ultra Z but it can save games on custom 4.4 roms like CM11 .

So my question is are there any other good emulators for android like Gensoid. I have tried GENPlusDroid it isn't working smoothly like gensoid.

Or

Is there any trick to fix the problem of Gensoid 2.4.3 to save game like it saves games on custom 4.4 roms.

Thanks

hello ladies and gents I bought a note 3 yesterday from some dude thinking I could fix it and get a note 3 on the cheap. I was wrong the problem is hard to fix.

1 It will not register to network

it is not blacklisted or network blocked.

Ive read somewhere that after you register to many different sims it wont allow it to connect to network anymore.

what can I do I wonder as a last ditch effort if I replace the motherboard if that will work any suggestions please?

Have you tried updating the firmware? check the APN on the phone once you insert the sim.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bobbyphoenix:
You could try taking it to a T-Mobile store to see if they can get it to register. Sometimes they can activate it when you can't.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] darkphate83:
I cant take it to the store i bought it from someone or at least i dont think i can it didnt have the knox counter activiated but now it does so im pretty sure the thing that resends and receives the signal is broken but im not sure where it is.

its basically a tablet :/

If you go to settings, mobile networks, and search for networks, can you select the network and have it register?

Also double check the apn settings. I borked my hidden apn settings once and couldn't get back on the network until i wiped and reflashed full stock.

If none of that works, try also resetting the nv. Look for my thread on 900t service mode for instructions.

I've already rebuilt the nv build. It's a family mobile sim(tmobile)

Also the apn settings I can try that again haven't changed them since I did a flashed back to stock. I doubt it will change anything usually you can still register.

oh the sim doesn't even have service anymore anyhow. Yesterday was the last day but I don't think that would change being able to register anyway.
