[XDA Assist] It_ler:
I found a similar issue report here: [Q] Need help for S4 GT-I9505 " firmware upgrade encountered an issue" .

Suggested solution there was to boot into recovery, wipe data (= do a factory reset) then flash a new firmware with Odin.

You need to specify your exact device model (GT-I9500 or GT-I9505 or ???).

Then the firmware version your are running ATM.

And the rooting method which failed.

Maybe the rooting method doesn't work for the firmware version.

Here is a rooting guide specially for Lollipop on the S4: [Guide][How to Root Lollipop GT-I9500/i9505][5.0.1].

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] aqua9teen1:
Hi,

I just bought Samsung Galaxy Alpha [SM-G850F] last week. This is my first time owning Samsung Brand phone. So I'm a newbie. My question is did anyone made root for these device? I just read all the thread in the forum regarding these matter and all the root I found will trigger the Knox. In my knowledge from Wikipedia, if the Knox been trigger I will lost my warranty. So is there any rooting method that will not trigger the Knox?

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] haimondlafis:
So here is the thing: I'm from Brazil, and HTC does not sell devices here anymore. I ended up buying an AT&T HTC One M8 from Amazon - a friend of mine brought it for me.

I had to unlock it to use with the carriers around here. I have been using the device just fine for months. For some reason, my device never updated - it was always at Kitkat 4.4.2. This week I decided to try to fully unlock and put a ROM in the M8 to get the most recent OS. I went for the ARDH, the most recent one - with Android 5.0 and Sense 7.

I used Sunshine to bootload and s-off my device. Everything worked perfectly and then I installed the ARDH ROM. However there is one small problem that I stumbled upon since then: my wifi, from time to time, just stops working, and usually comes back when I restart or turn off/on my device. It usually works fine for a few hours, and then just suddenly stops working.

Can anyone help me with this problem? I read some articles saying that maybe the problem is related to the OS not being updated to 4.4.4., but I'm not sure how I could go back now. Can I just download the ROM in HTC website and try to install it over the current one?

I humbly ask of you to try and explain things as easily as possible, since I'm not too familiar with "jargons"
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Change your cid to BS_US001,BS_US002 And flash developer version ruu...no need to change mid as they are the same device and then youll have a clean device,no carrier bloat from ATT AND get your updates from HTC. You will never get updates from ATT due to not being on their network.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] haimondlafis:
Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, I did not understand what you asked for me to do - like I said, I'm not too familiar with the names.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] johnnyutah22:
S-OFF ONLY! How to get supercid

1. Have adb and fastboot set up. There are guides all over xda and google

2. Connect phone to PC and open terminal

3. Type "adb devices" to make sure phone is connected to PC

4. Type "adb reboot bootloader"

5. Once in fastboot type "fastboot devices" to make sure fastboot sees your device

6. Type "fastboot oem rebootRUU"

7. Once in black screen that says HTC you are in ruu mode

8. Type "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" (has to be 8 one's)

9. After a successful cid overwrite type "fastboot reboot-bootloader"

10. Profit! You are now supercid!!

Be warned you can do some bad things to your phone with super cid if you don't know what you're doing. I'd head over to the international forum for the m8 and do some reading up on it.

Hi all,

6 months ago when I first got my hermes, I had no problem sending SMSes from the Globe network (Philippines) using my Globe Prepaid SIM card. 6 months later, it doesn't work anymore. I don't know if it's because I upgraded to WM6 or if NTT did something (it roams on the DoCoMo network when I use the Globe card). Neither the stock WM6 SMS nor the Palm Threaded SMS can send (though receiving is fine).

Is there anybody currently in Tokyo using Globe prepaid cards?

Hello, I'm new to sony xperia m2 (d2306) and looking several post and thread it occurred to me to do something lol. Seeing that no rom is 100% stable and that there are no kernel with advanced features, I happened create a kernel based on stock firmware 18.3.1.C.1.13 kitkat.

Achieve up the kernel "Xperia ™ open source archives" with the version already mentioned above.

Come to the point lol

I would like to learn how to modify the kernel or if someone wants to contribute to this project that I have in mind and maybe later form a team for this device.

Amm that lol

Remember ... stock kernel for now :D

Before you can modify the kernel, you need to understand how it works, what does it do, what is it for etc. Modifying kernel without knowing anything about it would be a walk in the dark really

Has anyone else noticed the odd reverb in the speaker? I can only describe it as a metal twang component like you'd hear from cables on a suspention bridge. It's hard to pin down specifically but it's really obvious to my ears.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bendotson:
Yes. Especially at max volume.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tb0n3:
My only guess it it's resonating with some other device in the phone, like when you strike a phone in a certain way you may be able to feel it buzz. I must say, though, that the isolation of the audio jack is so much better than my S4. I cannot hear any alternator noise unless I have nothing on and turn the volume up high. If that's Wolfson then I guess I'm glad to have it.

Is that because you broke Motorola's warranty terms of service by unlocking bootloader and flashing? Or is it a lost cause?
[Moto G 2014 LTE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e2_e2:
Did anyone achieved to solve this problem? I am facing exactly the same issue.

The thing is that the Motorola naming is quite confusing and it is very easy to make a mistake between the different Moto Gs, so I flashed the stock ROM of a previous version and when I realized it, it was too late.

I suppose I have the wrong bootloader as it keeps giving me these "image is too large" messages when I try to flash the correct stock rom. I can install CM and other custom roms from TWRP, however at least the camera won't work.

If anyone has found a workaround, please share with us how you do it.

I've managed to fix my problem, I installed the correct TWRP recovery for my model and managed to install CM THEA and everything is working flawlessly.

The problem is that installing an incorrect recovery will mess the partition, I am sure I can go back to stock now if I use ADB to reflash, but I dont want do go back anymore, there is a bunch of new options avaliable im CM will wont even want the simple stock rom never again. Just Install the correct TWRP for your model and Install a custom rom , it will fix the partition and probably you will be able to reflash to stock using ADB.

This is the correct TWRP for XT1078

[Moto G 2014 LTE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiSSigNNo:

Not really. I can use an CM AOSP flawlessly as you mention, but if you need to go back to stock (for example, if your phone hardware breaks), you won't be able to flash to the right stock rom unfortunatelly. Is not a 100% bricked phone but is a technically bricked phone, since NAND has been messed up by flashing accidentally with a wrong ROM. As you say this Motorola versioning system is really an issue in terms of deriving to bricked devices :(

The dev edition (617) ruu won't fix the issue. As far as voLte is concerned, it's basically the same as running a custom rom in that you can still be affected by the issue and you can't disable Ehanced (or HD) Voice in the rom (this is tied to your sim and not the rom, I think).

Currently, this is the best solution, I think...flash an att RUU (502 - either 1.32 or 2.6, it doesn't really matter) . Then go into Mobile network settings, and disable Enhanced Voice. Once this is disabled in stock ATT rom, you can flash a custom rom and that setting should stick.

Alternatively, you might try getting on with ATT support to see if they can disable that setting on their end.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollywhitefoot:
Did y'all get this working? ICE 3.1.1 now supports VoLTE. I've been using it for a few days now and you can change your HD Voice settings within the rom (no need to call AT&T or flash back to stock).

Also, I don't know if any of you experienced the related issue where you couldn't set up call forwarding, but that works now too with ICE.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtBird:
Jollywhitefoot - no - didnt get it working. Was about to flashback to Factory Stock ROM from AT&T, change settings, then flash back to VIPERONE... but I would certainly appreciate it if you can provide more info about how to obtain this update to overcome the 4G issue.. Many thanks in advance!
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollywhitefoot:

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanometer45:
I have the same problem. Can't receive calls unless I use 3G. This is really frustrating! Anyone know of a solution?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithspg:
I am not advocating for any of what I did, but I am now on ViperOne 4.3.0 (Marshmallow based). I can receive calls at home, at work and in buildings where I noted that I missed calls previously. My guess as to why this happens is that the phone was not switching over to 3G as the LTE signal degraded (when in a building, for example). I do not know if ViperOne 3.5.0 fixes this or not as I did not test it for any period to see. (You can flash 3.5.0 to an AT&T phone while still on the Lollipop firmware and being S-On). I am happy that the AT&T bloat is off and can receive calls again. To do this, requires S-Off and flashing the correct firmware to get ViperOne 4.3.0, at least on AT&T.

Alternately, you can complain to your carrier (Is it AT&T?) and see if they can help you get it resolved as it does not seem to be a phone hardware problem, but a software (or maybe provisioning issue on the carrier's end?).

I'm brand new to rooting, but I've had an android phone for years. I finally managed to install towelroot to my i537. I had to flash to NE3 install towelroot and run it, and then flash back to NH3 (these may be wrong I did it a while back.) so now I'm on NH3, and I uninstalled supersu and did a factory reset, hoping that I could install the OTA update with my root removed and a factory reset. This didn't work, I didn't have a custom rom installed, and all I had was supersu so i could uninstall bloatware and use some root dependent apps. When I attempt to install the ota update it says update failed at about 25%. My baseband version is i537ucucnh3, im not sure if this is needed but my kernel version is 3.4.0-2638177 dpi@swdd5713 #1, and my build number is kot49h.i537ucucnh3.

I had to have a buddy of mine help with installing the root in the first place, and he isn't around to help.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
You can't do the ota like normal, and uninstalling superSU isn't the same as unrooting. Honestly if you want to update to lollipop manually, I would recommend Odin flashing back to NE3, rooting, then going straight to OC6 (lollipop) and following these instructions to update while keeping root. No matter what you do, you have a bit of work cut out for you, may as well do the method that lets you be rooted on lollipop, plus it's not too difficult if you follow instructions carefully and is confirmed working by numerous users
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notmechjeb:
Alright, that shouldnt be too hard, so I just flash back to NE3 and root with towelroot, and then flash back to oc6, skipping nh3 right? The file in the thread you posted is nh3tolollipop, does that matter? or with it work with ne3 to lollipop too?

[ZenFone 2 General] sorg:
Update: so far, described method doesn't unlock other bands. Need to find other ways.

Disclamer: You are doing this at your own risk.

The key point: Allowed bands are written in /system/vendor/firmware/telephony/ze550ml_XX_726x.tlv where XX is your region TW, WW, US, CN, etc.. Don't confuse by ze550ml in the name. It's for ZE551ML! I don't know how it is in ZE550ML, but should be the same according to name.

Region is hardcoded in SFI table OEM1. SFI is similar to ACPI found in PC. Flashing of firmware doesn't change this part. You may change firmware region to whatever you want, but region of your phone will remain the same and 4G band will remain the same as you had out of the box.

Since bootloader is locked, we cannot spoof SFI tables in kernel. But we can replace /system files.

So, if you have rooted Zenfone 2, then you can copy ze550ml_WW_726x.tlv to ze550ml_TW_726x.tlv if you want to convert TW model to WW model. (Similar for CN->WW). You need to open /system partition for write access (R/W). You can do everything in Root Explorer.

It may be that ze550ml_XX_726x.tlv files are protected by check-summ and name, so replacing the file my brake radio functionality. In this case you have to return you original ze550ml_XX_726x.tlv file and try another method described below.

Open file /system/etc/catalog/V1_DSDA_ZE550ML_TW/telephony_config/V1_DSDA_ZE550ML_TW_726x.xml in any text editor and replace text inside ze550ml_TW_726x.tlv to ze550ml_WW_726x.tlv. Or you can copy file /system/etc/catalog/V1_DSDA_ZE550ML_WW/telephony_config/V1_DSDA_ZE550ML_WW_726x.xml to /system/etc/catalog/V1_DSDA_ZE550ML_TW/telephony_config/V1_DSDA_ZE550ML_TW_726x.xml.

Don't forget to reboot your phone before try 4G.

Unfortunately, i cannot test it by myself because my carrier work on 1800MHz which presents in all regions. So, i simply won't see any difference between regions.

Please report here about results.

Will hopefully be able to try it this weekend on my CN version (still need to root and update firmware first) and will report back!
