[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mocsab:
this same sort of thing happened on the NOTE 3 when it was first released - and it turned out that the partician had gotten corrupted and flashing roms - even flashing odin could not fix the problem - I think it had somethnig to do with EFS.

Someone created a flashable file that would fix it - sort of like restoring EFS - and that took care of the issue. If I am not mistaken, soon after TWRP started inlcuding EFS backups in the backup process.

I don't recall the name of the file - it was a LONG time ago - but your description of what is happening when you try to flash anything - is EXACTLY what happend to the NOTE 3 back when this originally happened to a lot of people flashing on the NOTE 3. As I said, it was right when the NOte 3 was first launched -

I wish I could be of more help - I am not a developer so I can't do much more for you - but I hope this helps.

Sounds like the pit file took a hit. You need a new replacement

BAD ASS NOTE 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chewybarz:
Thank you guys! I appreciate the help. I have the exact phone with the exact ROM. I assume I can use something like PITMagic to extract from my phone and flash with Odin to the damaged one? When you said I "need a new replacement" I wasn't sure if you meant the PIT file or the phone itself...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adar_e:
i would love to know the answer too!

i guess the file that was crated for the note 3 will be our best choice too !! for note 4 ofcourse!

thanks alot everybody
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chewybarz:
One last update:

I figured I had nothing to lose, so I extracted the PIT file from my matching Note 4 and flashed it, along with the stock ROM. It flashed, but I still had the boot loop. I restored the custom ROM backup (which was the same one used on the phone I extracted the PIT file from) and still no dice. Then I tried flashing just the PIT and it wouldn't flash. I tried everything again and same results. I have to assume it's a hardware issue considering the phone went for a swim a few weeks earlier, so I'll be using that Amex purchase protection!

Thank you for your help!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
You actually got pit magic to work. As far as many devs have told me Samsung made it immposible to pull a pit file. Many have tried none have worked.. I did mean a new phone sorry.. I would just call Tmobile and tell em you phone one morning would not power up after charging it. They will replace it for like 5 bucks. Play dumb and offer nothing.

BAD ASS NOTE 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbmggm:
Your phone is incompatible if you are flashing any TMO based Rom on a VZW phone; especially if it's not ported properly. That's why it's bootlooping. I would advise moving to the Verizon threads for help; download the VZW Stock FW and proceed from there. Once you are back up and running come back to TMO again. But this time read carefully which Dev's have a VZW ported Rom that will work. Your phone is not toast; just needs some TLC from Camp Verizon.....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chewybarz:
Thanks for the response.

I realize I'm in the T-Mobile forum, so I apologize for the confusion. I got here searching for someone with a Note 4 with the same problem as me and found this thread. I had 2 Verizon Dev editions on which I installed custom ROMs. One works perfectly, and the other did until my wife dropped it in the toilet. It worked for two weeks after then went into a boot loop. Everything I tried was with Verizon stock and custom ROMs. Flashing the ROM with a PIT file was my last resort and it didn't work. Luckily I was within the 90-day Amex Purchase Protection window, so I just filed a claim. My conclusion is that it has to be hardware related because the same ROM had been running on it for 2.5 months with no changes when the problem popped up.

Anyway, I appreciate the response, but I had to throw in the towel...

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

I extracted the PIT file using Terminal Emulator and BusyBox. I tried to flash with Odin, but no luck. I did use PIT Magic to make sure the file was good and I was able to read it. I'm very technical, but mainly in infrastructure and infosec, not development, and I still found it rather easy to pull the PIT file. I used this guide, in case it helps someone: http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-extract-pit-file-from-samsung-galaxy-devices/
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
Just be careful as I have said a lot of devs tried that method and others but none worked with odin with good results.

Hi everyone! I recently discovered that my new tablet (national generic, Intel Z2520 based) does a weird glitch moving the screen a couple pixels to the left and then back. It's really fast, but really annoying.

I also discovered that whenever that happens, I get this at dmesg:

Any clue on why this happens?

Most likely, check the official CM website to see if they've have CM builds for your tablet, if not check the development section of your tablet, depending on its popularity there should be unofficial ports by other developers.

Just want to know what the android community and nexus users would like to see from Google this year.

Would you rather have Google make 2 lines for their phones; a 2nd gen Nexus 5 phone and a 2nd Gen Nexus 6 phablet?

Or have Google continue down the path it is already on and make a single model Nexus.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] man1acc:
Hey guys,

hopefully the right forum to ask this kind of question.

Got my Note 4 last week to replace my old Nexus 5. Frist impressions are quite good and the Note is just the phone I want to keep.

After a few days I noticed something when the keyboard is openend. On the left side of the display (see the attached picture) there is a light (and really really light) screen bleed into red. If the Display shows straight white I can't see it clearly. But every time the color is greyish oder dark blue (the keyboard styles of the AOSP Keyboard are perfect for this) you can see the color drift.

So sometimes I barely notice it, and somethimes I am going crazy :)

Bin since "What has been seen, can never be unseen" it starts to bug me more every time I notice it..

I dont think that I can replace the phone (like amazon would - damn me, I should have buyed it there), I need some kind of fix (eye replacement?).

Is there any chance of adjusting the display settings only partially on the display? (I really don't think so - but desperate times need desperate questions :) )

The other thing would be: I tried using the App Display Adjuster an changed the white into a very cold one (mainly by increasing green und blue) - does anyone know what kind of battery drainage this app causes?

Thanks from munich!

Bastian

Edit: I tried to photograph the bleed, but it's that small that most monitors (just 3 out of 5 - all of which have a "warmer" display white point show it perfectly.) won't show my bleed (which leads to the conclusion: I AM crazy).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] bleuiko:
Just got lollipop and mostly loving the lockscreen notification just like my Nexus 5... however, is there anyway to disable "Swipe to unlock" when I tap a notification so that it goes straight into the app? It seems redundant. I believe my Nexus 5 did not require the swipe step when I tap a notification. This is with the swipe lock (no passcode).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] erick161:
It's a samsung thing. Been that way for a long time. I run dirty unicorn CM lollipop build on my note 2...and I like the more stock lollipop notification and lockscreen
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Peterrrrr:
Wondering if it is possible to adjust the sound in speaker on the phone that you put to your ear at.

Think it's too much treble in the sound.

Is there any setting in the phone or must I download some app? :)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aditya Srinidhi:
If you're rooted, you can choose to edit the values yourself, or flash a mod...

But that's weird, because the calls sound fine on the stock firmware. Perhaps something to do with the ear piece?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Peterrrrr:
The earpiece work as it is supose to, the problem is that I havet very sensitive hearing. So I need a more smooth sound. That why I need to turn down treble ä.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aditya Srinidhi:
Ahh, you'll mostly need root access then for changing the volume levels, and if that's not possible I'll suggest a rom which perhaps has that function built in
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TheShanMan:
A couple of goals:

I would like rooting to be as easy as possible and to be able to root as quickly as possible after a given android release. Samsung and/or AT&T make it difficult (have to wait for someone to come up with a method).

I would like to not be at the mercy of a cellular company's android update schedule.

Once my current contract is up this year it'll be time to upgrade. I assume I'm limited to devices that my carrier (currently AT&T of course) offers - I don't want to pay for the entire phone up front unless it's possible to get AT&T to lower my monthly bill to make up for it.

So what should I consider doing? Must I switch carriers to accomplish what I want? I would rather not, all things being equal, but I'm not dead set against it. Is it as simple as picking any phone, rooting it, and then installing alternate ROMs from that point forward? Not having ever installed alternate ROMs before, are there different downsides depending on the device you have? In particular, are the ROMs device specific and therefore the device you choose will determine if and when you can get an alternate ROM update? Or are alternate ROMs not device-specific?

I guess an alternate way to phrase the entirety of my question is what are the considerations in selecting a new phone (and potentially the carrier) for someone who wants to root and doesn't want to be at the mercy of the carrier's release schedule?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Get a nexus device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TheShanMan:
I do see that you can get a Nexus through AT&T now, but do they add junk which makes it harder to root? The other thing is that the 6 is so big from what I saw. I don't think I want anything noticeably bigger than the S4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] saj222:
Get a Nexus 5 or 4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TheShanMan:
That's old hardware though, right? By the time I'm ready to switch, I'm not even sure AT&T will offer the 5 anymore (they don't offer the 4 now). And I still don't know if AT&T's extra junk they load on the device would counteract the benefit of going with Nexus to begin with.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Google isn't selling the n5 anymore. But if you could get it from at&t you can always get rid of any at&t bloat by flashing the factory image. It's the easiest phone to root and rom out there.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahmitdarrow:
Ok so I have two of the universal Moto G LTE . We were running the unofficial cyanogen 11 perfectly for afew months and on one phone became unable to connect to our home wifi, shortly afterwards the other had the same issue. Flashed a LP rom but wasn't suited to the stability of it atm so settled on Slim-peregrine-4.4.4.build.9.0-OFFICIAL-8310 with Slim-Addons-full_gapps.4.4.4.build.9-20150107, and the issue was gone. However on the other phone after a wipe and clean install of the same rom and gapps the issue persisted and further would not connect to the wifi or it mobile data though still has perfect signal for calls and mms.

I'm no tech wizard but I have tried the following;

PHONE BASED

Flashed every kernel and every rom in the Moto G LTE forums (Yes ALL but not every combination)

Tried variations on the airplane mode

Fastboot erase modems1&2

Reverted to stock RETUS_XT1045_4.4.3_KXB21.14-L1.23-4_cid9_CFC.xml.zip via manual mfastboot cmnds & MotoFlash

Changed filesystems

Connected via direct IP (still no internet though it says connected)

ROUTER BASED

Reset it (Duh)

Tried a different router

Enabled/Disabled MAC Filtering

Once I realized the mobile data was out to though stopped messing with the router.

Currently it is running the above mentioned SlimKat and works wonderfully except no mobile data even with the correct APN info and fails to authenticate wifi. I'm at a loss, did the phones ethernet chip or w/e it is die maybe?

I'll provide any logs asked for if I can get them... It's my wife's phone that is having the problem meaning I really need to fix this or suck it up and buy a new one. Appreciate any help in advance and if not I understand, thats the game when messin with this stuff as a novice.

Hey Everyone!

Quick question for you, i just switched to Sprint from T-Mobile and i got the HTC One M8 and i had the same phone from T-Mobile. Is there any Difference between the two cause i noticed on the sprint version that it says Model # 831 amd T-mobiles doesnt say model. Was just curious if there is anything different i donbt there is though
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Different hardware, the T-Mobile version does not have the hardware required to work on Sprint's CDMA network.

The Sprint and Verizon versions of the M8 are CDMA, and are the oddballs. All "GSM" versions of the M8 are essentially the same in hardware, and just have different band support determined in software. Exception being the obvious cosmetic differences such as available colors, and some carrier logos on the back of the phone. Other exception being the dual SIM GSM variant.

Hello people

I've just come into possession of an 02 branded HTC Universal, which has been unlocked.

Everything works fine except for 3G data/internet. The phone can find a 3G (UMTS) network, but it can't use it for any kind of data.

I have a web'n'walk (3G) tariff, and I've tested my SIM card in a T-mobile phone and 3G works fine. So tariff and SIM are fine.

The problem must be with the phone. T mobile say it's not their handset so they can't help - so I'm depending on you lot!

Are there some settings I need to change to make this work on Tmobile's network? There's GPRS settings, modem connection settings etc. Any of those could be the culprit. I've tried settnig up a modem connection with general.t-mobile.uk, without putting in any username, password or domain, and that doesn't work.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Cheers

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sssssss340:
Let me start with this is entirely my fault for not reading directions entirely and understanding what I was playing with.

Now my problem is this: I recently wanted to update to CyanogenMod 12, but needed to update my bootloader to something higher than 1.16. So by following the directions in this post. Now since I have a verizon m8, these firmware updates did not work, so I then proceeded to change both my MID and CID using ADB and Fastboot to those of an AT&T device. When I flashed the RUU-HTC_One_M8_GPE_4.4.4-2.12.1700.1_rooted.zip located on that page, it wiped my current ROM (I planned for this, full backups and everything) but did not install a new one, leaving me stuck.

So the current situation is:

I cannot load recovery.

I am stuck in Fastboot with limited HBOOT options.

My CID is whatever I set it to but my MID is stuck in AT&T.

I have no ROM installed and my attempts to do so have been unsuccessful.

My phone is S-Off and Unlocked

Info:

CID:VZW__001

HBOOT-3.19.0.0000

Radio-1.25.2145000021.06G

OpenDSP-v48.2.2-00564-M8974_F0.1211

OS-4.17.605.5

eMMC-boot 2048MB

Any help would be appreciated, and I promise to read any directions given fully.
