[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] FuzzieKiwi:
I'm getting the one time replacement and it arrives Tuesday/Wednesday. The screen still works but hard to see on the upper right corner. I don't get insurance because it's $11 a month, and I treat my phones well (and besides, I could always get a OPO or used LG G3 if the screen ever cracks again). I'll be sure to have a case always on my next Turbo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] r3pwn:
OPO doesn't work on Verizon. It's GSM-only (Verizon is a CDMA network).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] this_is_nascar:
Wow. I've been reading about allot of dropped/broken screens on the Turbo recently.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] joeriv5692:
Yikes!! That took a direct hit! That is why I purchased a Otter Box defender for mine. I have M.S. and my hands dont always work the greatest and this is reasons why I purchase cases. Glad that youll recieve your replacement soon. :)

--- Mods, didn't want to post in Android Development and clutter that section, thought General would be a bit better. My deepest apologies if I'm yet in the wrong section, just move it and tell me. Thank you. ---

Alright guys, tried to do some searching on this topic - no help found. So i'm resorting to what I hate to do, flooding the forums with more topics. Little bit of background to help troubleshoot, I've been rooting and rom-ing for about 4 years now with all Verizon Samsung phones (locked bootloaders and all that fun stuff) but just switched to sprint recently and having a few issues with roms.

On to my issue...

My phone has been experiencing a bunch of lag lately. So bad where the phone locks up for about 5 to 7 seconds about 3-4 times an hour and it is getting annoying as it's locking it at some crucial points. So, I have TWRP on there, rooted on stock 4.4 and tried to flash CM12 nightlies for this phone (the Sprint version). TWRP refused to install it, saying that the phone itself was the trlteTMO version and couldn't flash the trlteSPR roms. I flashed the TMO CM12 nightly and it flashed perfectly fine, but my service didn't work. I believe I got 3G/LTE and calling (unsure, can't confirm.) But no texts went through. But what the great part was, is that it did not stutter and Lollipop was absolutely f-in' gorgeous. So i'm assuming the phone accepted the software, but the radios weren't correct. I loved CM12 so much, but I use XPOSED for a few things. (Basically just Keepchat), So i'm okay with going to CM12 if someone can get my Sprint phone, which i got through Sprint, to work with Sprint roms. I'm at a brick wall.

Mind you that I have access to a windows computer, but it's junk and would rather flash using ODIN PRO on my phone, or just using my recovery. I use a Macbook Pro as my daily, but I can't get heimdall to work as i once did on my S3. I can't even find support or any downloads for it. So, i'm pretty much back to noob status and just need some good guidance. Thank you for reading, and help me flash something new!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spleef:
Did you use the correct recovery for spr? Is only thing I can think of.... Maybe you flashed the tmo recovery
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Branski81:
Definitely checking that. Sounds like it could be a very good reason for it to reject the tar.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigJPNut:
Using a .tar file in recovery could be your 1st problem....
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tx_dbs_tx:
I agree with spleef. There's no other reason I can think of that would cause TWRP recovery to not install a sprint rom and give you that error message. You should really double check the tar files bwhen downloading them and definitely before flashing them with odin. Another thing, you are very brave for knowlingly flashing a T-Mobile rom on your Sprint phone. Seriously, you might want to Odin back to the stock. Sprint NK2 rom .tar and startb over fresh. It would be in your best interest at this point.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ty.branski:
Excuse me, you're right. The recovery file was not tar. You're correct though, that does seem as it would just a littttttle bit of an issue..

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

I cannot fully confirm that it was the wrong TWRP as the only recoveries I had on my computer and phone storage were sprint versions.

I did however reinstall the sprint recovery again after having to flash back to stock due to a random bootloop issue. So after reflashing 4.4 stock, reinstalling the recovery and restoring to a previous backup, I am now clean flashed on 5.0.2 all cellular features working on CM12 Official.

Mods, if you could please close or delete this thread, that would be appreciated.

Thank you [MENTION=1880287]spleef[/MENTION], I'm sure you were correct anyways.

so my friend HTC one m8 has this icon at the back of his m8 image stabilization camera just under the camera but mine doesn't is that does that mean he have this feature and I don't ?? I also thought that HTC one m8 doesn't have this feature and it was only in the m7 right ?

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sthpaw01:
I'm seriously thinking about dumping Verizon for T-Mobile with the 2 lines for $100 for unlimited everything. I want to get rid of Comcast and use T-Mobile as my internet connection for my home use also. The question that I have is can root bypass the 5gb hotspot connection so I can use the hot spot for more data?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmdunn:
Yes ... you can even do it without root by adding dun to your APN type in settings.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan1431:
That is a bit of tricky question as we truly (or at least I haven't seen a definitive answer) don't know as how T-Mobile determines if someone is using their hotspot beyond whatever software might be installed on a branded handset which alerts T-Mobile to the use of the feature.

If T-Mobile can determine that you are using your hotspot feature regardless of whatever you do on your handset (like bypassing) than it wouldn't make a difference what you do.

I have seen multiple conflicting reports over the years and there doesn't seem to be anything close to a consensus.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathAdder666:
I left Verizon for T-Mobile last month for the same deal. I was grandfathered into unlimited data for Verizon and 700 minutes, but no text. My wife texts like crazy so I was paying way more than I should have each month. Regardless, $100 for us both with unlimited everything was the catch. Texts for her, data for me. I tether a lot in my job, and I've been known to download heavy files from time-to-time. So far, T-Mobile has been great. Data speeds are a bit slower, but coverage where I am most of the time is just as good or even a bit better than Verizon.

The problem was the phone. I couldn't use my old Verizon Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile (well, I could, just HSPA+ instead of LTE). I got an unlocked Nexus 5 that worked great. Earpiece was busted, I swapped it, still didn't work, sold it and got a Moto X 2014 Pure Edition instead. So far, so good. Tethering works once rooted. I've not come close to the usually 2-3GB of tethering that I do each month. But no warnings or caps or throttle as best I can tell.

All I can say, keep away from the branded phones. Go and get a Google Play edition phone. You'll be thankful you did. My wife's T-Mobile branded LG G2 is great for her, but it drives me nuts. I had one too (before the Google Play Edition Nexus 5) for like 2 days before I sold it.

USB wakelocks after removing USB cable, "USB Connected" pop-up doesn't go away.

OTG/keyboard dock doesn't work at all

Overall device is smooth and stable minus the above listed issues. I will continue to work on these but wanted to get some feedback on this so far as well. I'm open to assistance if anybody else has one of these and some talent and wants to help.

Huge thanks:

@invisiblek and the rest of the Samsung MSM8960 device maintainers, without there work to follow this would have never happened..

Great...!!!...I see a bit lonely here....whatever..great work sir.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jrior001:
It is lonely here but whatever, i'm still working on it in my spare time. Fixed camera in new build i just uploaded. Also BT is working, sort of....sometimes. Not sure whats going on with BT but i'll keep at it.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] rippedwarrior69:
I have been waiting for this forever thank you so much. I was almost giving up on this tablet. Thank you for the hard work. I love me some lollipop.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jrior001:
I'm not as experienced as some others so this took 3 attempts I think...in between 3-4 month breaks to get the 3.4 kernel booting but I finally got it.

I've got GPS fixed and I'm close on USB. Its proper in windows I think but Linux connectivity is still giving me issues. I'll try to get a new build up in a few days with all that.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] rippedwarrior69:
I my self am on linux. I use elementray os.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jrior001:
2/28 build is up now, GPS and USB should be proper. OTG/dock still not working but not a major concern for now.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] rippedwarrior69:
The new update says 403 forbidden when trying to download?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jrior001:
Fixed, any issues or things not proper other than what ive mentioned please let me know
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] rippedwarrior69:
Is there a flashible zip for twrp 2.8?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jrior001:
No, I could likely make one though.

Use the did method outlined in the old recovery thread or cheat like I do and download "flashify" from market to flash recovery
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] rippedwarrior69:
This ROM is great. I installed peel ir remote app but it says this tab does not have ir blaster. It does have a ir blaster. Is that only a touchwiz app?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jrior001:
I doubt IR is working at all...that's on my list to test/debug.

USB is still a little wonky, the notifications never clear.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] rippedwarrior69:
Oh OK that's cool. Thank you again for the hard work.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jrior001:
Just put up a fresh build, IR blaster seems to be working now.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jrior001:
For those who have tried this ROM, can anyone confirm whether or not wireless data is working? I don't have a vzw account to test with.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] rippedwarrior69:
I don't either. Or I would.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Nicklag:
I can confirm that data is working. Thank you for breathing new life in this tablet

Edit. Had running for a full day and data works most of the time. A soft reboot fixes it though
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jrior001:
If you wouldn't mind I'd like to see the logs when it craps out. I still have some hacks in place for debugging. When it acts up, reboot to recovery and grab the following:

/data/data/logcat.txt

/data/data/kmsg.text

/data/data/radio.txt

Oh and there is a newer recovery build and an updated build at the download link.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jrior001:
I'm dropping the "ALPHA" label at this point. Everything that should be working seems to be in order at this point and the builds are more than reasonably stable. I just uploaded a fresh build w/f2fs support on /data and /cache if anybody is interested in using that. Changing /data to f2fs will require a FULL factory reset and SDCARD wipe as sdcard is emulated on /data/media so be prepared to lose EVERYTHING. TWRP 2.8.5 is required if you wish to reformat anything as f2fs. Both are available at my codefire download link in the OP.

A few minor annoyances remain:

Charging is painfully slow.

USB OTG doesn't work at all.

Plugging USB to PC tends to create some nasty wakelocks.

LTE data is glitchy.

Keyboard dock support hasn't been brought in.

Q: About this rom

This rom really stable or not?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jak978:
Why did you ask this stable stuff in every thread?

Really want a stable ROM go to stock officials.

This should be development section.

BTW you'll bricks you device if you flash this ROM to your p31xx
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Az-09:
And why can not I ask? I am doing something illegal? Strange how something!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jrior001:
If you have the WiFi/GSM p31xx version its a moot point as this ROM for the qcom powered VZW LTE i705 will definitely break your device.

That being said, this ROM is quite stable...95% functional I'd say and I haven't seen any sign of reboots or funky glitches other than some data drop outs in weeks.

Actually the post right before your original question layed out exactly what the current issues with the ROM are.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Az-09:
Big thanks)

More thanks,jrior001! I understood everything.

Excuse Me, if I got you)))

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jrior001:
I switched back to the old stock GPS blobs instead of building gps from source and its been working fine. Thanks though for the suggestion.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jrior001:
The 12.0 builds are in great shape.

I've had a few random reboots on the cm12.1 build that I haven't tracked down yet.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jrior001:
Update time...

Fully focused on 12.1 at this point. I have managed to get most of my changed merged into CM to support the vzw tab 2. All my kernel changes got merged last night into the gs3 kernel. Here's a fresh build for those following along.

http://downloads.codefi.re/jrior001/cm/espressovzw/cm-12.1-20150428-UNOFFICIAL-espressovzw.zip

Current state of affairs:

BT got some big fixups this week, actually usable now.

Zram has been enabled in kernel, adds 256 MB of compressed swap space to RAM. Next best thing to having more RAM. This adds a lot to overall performance.

Video cam is still broken

Radio/USB wakelocks issues persist, luckily we have a big battery.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jrior001:
A few days back I set my server to build and upload a fresh build each night, downloads are available here

http://downloads.codefi.re/jrior001/cm/espressovzw

Today's (5/4)build video recording is fixed up to 480p quality on both front & rear camera. 720p on back cam still need some work.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] ransom147:
I'm eager to try this, but my firmware is VRBMI1

Following the provided links and searching around leads me to believe that none of the methods available for unlocking the bootloader will give me anything besides a bricked tab.

Does anyone know of a method for this firmware, or am I out of luck?

TIA
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jrior001:
As far as I know you are out of luck. I don't think there was ever a root method found for the last stock build.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jrior001:
Minor update, I picked up a prepaid sim this week hoping to work out the kinks in the lte radio. Thus far I've been unsuccessful but I'll keep poking at it.

Update: I've fixed the modem crashes. Radio is working much better now. There are still some intermittent APN related issues at leat with my prepaid sim. Occasionally on reboot I have to open/close APN editor to get a data connection up. Hopefully I can get the last few bugs worked our soon.

I've considered back porting and making a cm11 build. Its a lot smoother on my other 8960 device, so I assume it would be here too.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] RevMike:
Running the build now after forking your android_kernel_samsung_d2 repo with those changes. I found an issue when I attempted to run ./extract-files.txt. On my device lib/libchromatix_ss5k4e1_preview.so did not exist but lib/libchromatix_s5k4e1_preview.so did. I figured that was a typo. The files lib/libqdi.so, lib/libqdp.so, and lib/libqmi_client_qmux.so did not exist on my device at all. I pulled them from a zip I had of Mr. Hyde's DoubleShotROM v2.8.1.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jrior001:
I'll clean those typos up eventually. Everything is stored on CM repos now, I just never put in for official builds because of low amount of users.

I have my own build server kick new builds out every 3-4 days. Just recently though I've been preoccupied but I've got fresh build cooking now as well.
