Are there any disadvantages to rooting and staying with 3.5.0?

My new fire phone is arriving tomorrow. Amazon is replacing my current one which has 3.6.8 and the side-loaded google framework and apps. The current one was upgraded before I could root it. I'm planning to root the new one before hooking it up, but wonder about problems with root/3.5.0. Other than missing xposed framework, the os/app control rooting gives, and a decent google maps, I can live with 3.6.8/gapps if I have to.

what i did :

1. i went to the settings>more>mobile networks>preferred network type > 3g - rebooted my device and this does not help. and then i call *#*#4636#*#* to check my network Type. it says "EDGE"

2. i upgraded my device to lolipop.. that did not help either..

3. downgraded to KitKat4.4.4.. still cannot detect 3g. Network type is EDGE.

4. i checked the APN. it was correct and was saved properly. still it says network type- EDGE. i went to the customer support of my network service provider. they are said they dont know why my device cannot detect 3g.

5. i have tried several factory reset too.. and still the network type is EDGE.

6. tried with different sim cards. still EDGE

7. i googled about this problem and found that it is a problem of EFS corruption. im not sure about this though..some websites saying to flash the modem of this device. i have no idea how to do that.

[Lenovo P780] winnox:
Hi,

I got stuck with a bad flash and the only way to get it to flash again was to format the nvram.

I don;t have a backup so even though i was able to put the imei back in, and part of the serial number and use the correct modem baseband i still get a serial with 0000000 followed by the serial i entered.

Can someone send me a backup of their nvram file so i can start working from there again?

I loved my phone untill it got bricked with a silly software update by lenovo that caused by cellphone reception which i then tried to fix with a custom rom flash.
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Here is the nvram img!

Hope this helps you !

[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. If your NVRAM is corupted and you cannot write inside you could replace with this one. After replace you could try to modify the information from the new NVRAM.

Any way your information is messed up and you dont have anything to loose !

is there any tool which i can use to edit the information inside the nvram.img file before flashing it. information like imei, Bluetooth address, WiFi mac address. i ask this because i tried a lot of tools like maui meta and sn write tool and it didn't work on my phone and needed another alternative.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jaymillajay:
samsung galaxy s6

Samsung recently launched the much awaited S6 and S6 Edge at its press conference at the Mobile World Congress. However the new S6 will not be available worldwide before April 10, 2015. The new flagship phone of Samsung will certainly compete heavily with Apple's iPhone 6.

The new S6 has a more premium look as it is made up of a mixture of glass and metal. Unfortunately for Samsung, the design of the Galaxy S6 was spilled out on the web before its launch, so this does not come as news to many enthusiasts.

There is no change in the display as the S6 sports a Super AMOLED display which has been Samsung favorite for the past few years. The resolution of S6 is the same as Note 4 i.e. 2560 x 1440 pixel QHD resolution (557 Pixels per inch).

The new S6 comes with a 16/5 MP rear/front camera along with the auto-HDR feature to automatically control the white balance and smart Optical Image Stabilization to keep the shake away.

The main negative aspect in the new S6 is its battery which is only 2550mAh as compared to the 2800mAh of S5. But with the new faster charging system it takes only 10 minutes charge for a 2 hour video playback.

The other specs of S6 include Gorilla Glass 4 Exynos 7420 processor, Android 5.0 Lollipop OS, LPDDR 3 3GB RAM and heart rate monitor.

Pros:

The new S6 features a resolution of 557 ppi, the highest ever for a smartphone. The other positive features of the S6 are: Gorilla Glass 4, latest version of Android (lollipop), 16 MP camera.

Cons:

The 2550mAh non-removable battery is a major drawback in S6. The other downside of the S6 is its absence of a microSD card slot. Some also believe that the absence of waterproofing which was available in S5 will also have its consequences.

Apart from its certain drawbacks, the S6 is a really extraordinary smartphone. It is certainly one of the best of its kind and a real treat for mobile fanatics.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Monicahasha9:
thanks, can't wait to try it out:D
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ChuckWow550:
So everyone knows by now the two biggest cons to the S6/edge is going to be losing the removable battery and the micro SD card storage. Let me address these 2 with my own very personal but I feel most righteous beliefs.

1. The SD card loss: Absolutely will not miss it even though I have a 64GB one SD for my S4. I even bought the official OEM Samsung card, in hopes that it would play nice with the phone and not get burned out like what I hear many Kingston and Sandisk cards have been doing. And I was right for a long time, until 3 weeks ago my Samsung card finally got trashed. Phone says card is blank and/or has unsupported files and REALLY wants to format it. This is after about 1 year8 months of usage, but I am extrmely disappointed in this. Makes me want to never ever buy another removable SD card phone ever again, and if Samsung had come out with removable storage for the S6 I was most definitely going to go with the HTC M9. So there's that. Removable storage is stupid. Apple was right to never offer it in their phones. SD card storage was never going to be as reliable as on board storage. When it comes to storage, you best believe we want reliable. I was fortunate the data, pictures, apps I had on the corrupted SD were either backed or irrelevant to me now.

2. Removable Battery: This one is the real only con I can see in the phone. But, and this is a big BUT, you lose the removable battery because you gain the super duper quality phone you've wanted, I wanted, EVERYONE wanted from Samsung. Do not tell me you liked the cheap plastic backplates. Or the squeaky loose feel like it needs some WD40 in the joints. No, we wanted a solid phone made of glass and metal and that doesn't bend or feel cheap. In order to get this we had to sacrifice the removable battery, there was no way around that. No design known to man could ever have incorporated the removable battery feature into the the S6. I will miss being able to swap out my battery when its 0% because I play Clash of Clans a lot. But what I get in return an Android phone that feels good in my hands is worth losing the battery. I'll just have to always keep a charging cable in my car, my car has a USB charging port built in.

Now, what i really want to know is, will we be able to root and sim unlock to have access to free wifi tethering and use with another carrier ie. Internationally? My wifi tethering is very important to me on my S4 although I was never able to sim unlock it correctly. My phone is still on 4.2.2 the original MDL. It's rooted but I fear updating it and losing my wifi tether.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Barff1984:
whilst the non removable battery is annoying, just look at the battery pack they'll release with the phone.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Alex-V:
I hope the people understand that the SD card loss is more good then negative..people with phones that have SD card..did you ever wondered that the phone says no storage available..you look on the SD card and there is many place on it free..it's because the most apps or the data of it goes to the internal card..and that will be fast full..as the phones with SD card most have not much internal space....in the past there are much init.d scripts that change that..a2SD or change internal with external scripts..having a phone with much internal make all those tings Abundance...Android is no more external SD friendly.. in original soap roms even the pictures goes to internal..I ordered the s6 edge with 128 GB.. and I was always HTC fanboy..
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] deniecemoore:
Pretty much true. It's not really a Con for me the phone not having an SD Card slot though many are complaining about it. I guess we are just used to that kind of thing that it's hard to move on b
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] WilliamStern:
Hmm, that battery pack actually looks pretty damn good if you ask me.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pcshano:
eww as much as i like the look.. the no sd card and especially non-removable battery is a huge drawback

i'll wait till LG G4 come out and then decide on whether s6 edge, HTC M9 or LG G4..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizower:
I'm overseas right now and I got a SIM card from work and slid it in to my VZW S4. I'm assuming I should have at least got a couple signal bars in the notification bar, as I have another phone with full signal sitting next to me. Also the SIM made a call from a GSM Galaxy note right before I put it in my phone.

With just the Cyta SIM in I get a message (that cannot be dismissed):

After changing my network mode to Global and adding the APN according to THIS, I am still not showing any signal bars. I was able to pull up a couple networks in the Network Operators menu, one being Cyta-Vodaphone but still no bars and no connection.

The phone is rooted and on 4.4.2.

Am I missing something?

to work on the Metro PCS servers and towers. I know that they have

different types of network bands, but I was just trying to make sure

if there was any way to get the phone to work on that network with

a flashable something in ODIN. My Verizon GS4 is rooted and on the

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
That's software number. Presume your hboot is 1.16 (which goes with software 1.58).

If so, you might update your hboot and other firmware. It might not be playing well with TWRP.

What was the oldest TWRP version you tried?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackAlien92:
So I updated to international firmware and all is good now. Thanks for the suggestions guys I guess it was the firmware causing issues.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Older hboots don't work with newer versions of TWRP. I suspected that might be the case. Then I saw another user state this definitively as a "known issue" in another thread.
