Hello dear geeks :cool:

I hope you've have a good days , Summer is close and blab blab blab :cyclops:

I have a f***ing bad a$$ problem with my Zenfone 2 (Chinese model with Z3560 & 4GB RAM) ,

I can't go to recovery mod correctly. Let me explain how i doing this.

First of all I'll turn off phone , then Press Power button + Volume up. Until phone vibrates I'll release Power button.

So Now I will see black screen with with a sleeping android garbage with a open door :D I see some text like:

- FASTBOOT MOD (red)

- PRODUCT_NAME - Z001

- VARIANT - ASUS_Z00A

- BOOTLOADER VERSION - unkown

- IFWI VERSION - 009.0173

- SERIAL NUMBER - F4AZFG00H34

- SIGING - ?

- SECURE_BOOT - ?

- FASTBOOT CMD WATING... (blue)

With Volume down I can change the option between "NORMAL BOOT" - "POWER OFF" - "RECOVERY MODE" - "RESTART BOOTLOADER"

So I choose f***ing - RECOVERY MODE - with power button , then phone will be reboot and I saw an another android garbage dead but at this time It's give me " Error !" .

So ! How I can change my ROM to pre-root? :silly::silly::silly:

Already Read it.

But I got "error !" when I choose recovery mod. !
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chinaphonearena:
Wait 30 seconds or so after error and every few seconds press power or VolUp or VolDown. Eventually should bring you to recovery.

Anyway, you don't need to change ROM in recovery. Do it in fastboot.

URGENT!

URGENT!!! Suddenly my Zenfone 2 went to the boot screen and has been loading now for three days. After searching I found out that it was a bootloop, but the problem is that any fix that is suggested everywhere is useless for my case because my PC doesn't recognize the Zenfone. When I plug it to the computer via USB cable and then displays the message that the driver wasn't downloaded successfully.After this message I can't follow any guide of how to fix the boot loop, because when I type the "adb devices" command on CMD, it doesn't displays any device. I am really trying to save the photos in the phone but I can't do anything unless it is connected to the PC. I am considering doing a Factory reset but I am afraid of to things: all of my photo are going to be erased and I am not sure if the hard reset will work for my case. I have downloaded some photo recovery apps but all of them ask me to root the phone to get the photos. Can anyone help me cause I am in a very bad tech situation?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDKill:
My phone is normally working except that I cannot go to recovery mode. I can't update my phone or install Custom ROM because it can't enter into recovery mode.

I've tried flashing stock recovery and twrp recovery but still there's an error "target reported max download size 536870912 bytes"

when i boot into reocvery mode, the screen just returns to bootloader mode. i have tried several sites but nobody can offer solution. I can still use my phone normally though. I only can't enter the recovery mode
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tauras911:
So, I had no GPS signal. Software wasn't solving the problem.

I opened back cover and check the gps connectors. There are two metal points on the back cover, and two gold metal connectors that touch the cover when assembled. I found the top gold metal connector (on the phones motherboard) was broken (see image). I attempted to replace it with a folded up piece of aluminum foil, but that did not seem to work. I was thinking about putting a drop of soder on the back cover to if it would make the connection.

Any thoughts on how to re-make this connector so it works reliably again, or would I need to replace the board?

Thank you,

Anyone else noticed that infrared is not working for Remote Control app on Miui 5.5.8 for LG G2? Is it a reported bug or am I the only one? When I try to use Remote Control the IR Blaster light doesn't flash or turn on. Is there a way to make it work? Thank you.

I guess you´re the only one.

I can use it , and works like stock kk.

Wich version of lg g2 do you have?

When you installed it, did you flashed the baseband?

It´s importante because the baseband has many controllers and sensors configurations of your phone

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonemartinez:
Strange, go to apps,wipe data of the aplication, then reboot.

There is no other explication I can give you, or could be that you don't configure correctly the remote control to the device you are trying to controll.

the apk don't open at all? Or open but you can't control anything?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xintorrim:
I can open the app but I can't control any device. When I tried it with other ROMs, a white light would blast on the top right but now it doesn't.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonemartinez:
That's simple the led confirm that you press a button. It is not a ir blast.

But,it's strange. Did you try to reinstall the rom again? Tried jb bootloader,kk baseband d805, wipes,rom.

Other people I know can use the IR. Sorry if I couldn't help you more

After a lot of days of contemplation, I finally got down to rooting my Xperia L C2104.

Here is my current phone status:

(I cannot insert image as I am a new member)

Model Number: C2104

Android Version: 4.2.2

Baseband version: 8930B-BAAAATAZQ-3228109-16-1016

Kernel Version: 3.4.0-g74b701b-00054-gde56c65-dirtycme@androidbs-desktop #1 Wed Mar 26 01:24:53 CST 2014

Build Number: 15.3.A.1.17

So I rooted with RootGenius.

-Rebooted twice during the root process, but root was successful. Root Checker said the same.

-KingUser and Shuame were installed on my phone.

-When tried clearing bloatware using Clean Master, suffered reboot. Did more and it happened the same way.

-The same happened with one installation.

-Few lucky moments when install/uninstall didn't cause anything.

-Reboots started getting random (while listening to music, just turning on the screen to do something etc). Decided to unroot.

-Installed SuperSU and followed the instructions. When I clicked on permanently remove root, it rebooted.⁠⁠

Tried deleting /system/bin/su and /system/xbin/su files. It would reboot. Files wouldn't be deleted when I come back to check.

-Did a factory reset to see if it was any good. No difference.

-Installed Kingo on pc. Kingo confirmed phone is rooted. Tried removing root several times. Phone would just reboot during root removal and the procedure fails. However, when trying to re-root using Kingo, it does reboot once/twice but re-root is successful. But the reboot problem isn't gone.

-Tried 'remove all root permissions' on KingUser, but nothing significant happens.

-Also tried going into safe mode and unrooting there. Rebooted yet again and failed.

-Tried deleting previously mentioned files inside /system/ in safe mode. Reboot.

-Tried deleting KingUser.apk in /system/app to try to replace KingUser with something else like SuperSU. But it rebooted and the apk stayed.⁠⁠

I can use my phone right now and use all my applications, but I can never see the next reboot coming. It happens randomly, sometimes as soon as I unlock my phone screen.

Does anybody have any suggestions as to what might be the problem and how I could solve it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
If you have a recovery, flash supersu and reboot, install root uninstaller and see if kingroot can be removed. I tried this on a Samsung note 3.

Hi,

I need to get cell id via adb shell. On Android 4.3 it's possible via dumpsys telephony.registry which give me

mCellInfo=[CellInfoLte:{mRegistered=YES mTimeStampType=unknown mTimeStamp=72036854775807ns CellIdentityLte:{ mMcc=333mMnc=11

But on newer version likes 4.4 or 5.0 mCellInfo=null.

Is there another method for retrieving cell id from adb shell?

Hi all. I recently bought an m8 sprint and I have been trying to sim unlock it but until now I have failed :crying: I manage to root the device and I tried to load an android version which I read help to the sim unlock process but now Android will not load at all (see image attached). I also read I should be s-off but for that I download an apk file which I think I can install it as long as I have android working but the device are not loading android so I can not manage to s-off it. TWRP is working fine, I just dont know how to go further. Your expert advice will be much much much appreciate. Thank you all for any advice (newbie terms)

Thank you for the prompt reply. Well I follow the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2718150 instruction. I successfully completed to

- Unlock bootloader from htc dev, - donwload and Install Custom Recovery TWRPand - download and install SuperSu from TWRP link. But I missed to complete the S-off step (don't ask me why I didn't do it I really don't know why). Then I followed the steps in the following guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2386703 but when I typed :am start com.redbend.vdmc/com.htc.omadm.test.TestMainActivity nothing happened (I think it was because I was not s-off). So on other posts, (don't recall which of the thousands I read) I download the Sprint_M8_HK_Stock_Rooted_3.30.654.2_Deodexed.zip and using TWRP I tried to load it into the M8. Process was ok, but now when I turn on the device android will not run showing the screen above attached. Any ideas how to fix android and manage to sim unlock it?

thank you for your willingness to help
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ssantos132:
The second thread you followed that gave you instructions to use the am start command is for the m7. It didn't work because the command isn't leading anywhere on the m8. As for the bootloop, are you sure you flashed the right thing? That is rom is for the Harmon Kardon m8. Can you post a fastboot getvar all (without your serial no and imei)?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jacnsa:
no luck

thank you again for your prompt repy. The m8 is HK edition - sprint. Now, with the m8 in the recovery menu (other ways are not recognize by the pc) for fastboot getvar all it says <waiting for device> (please see attached images -0 i erased th final 4 digits of the serial). device manager in My PC shows the phone is connected correctly (please see attach image) but I dont know why it will not answer the fastboot command.

Hey man, it's pretty easy. Download this file http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=9599 it is important that you use this specific file. Don't trip cause it says harman, it's safe to flash on your device.

After you downloaded follow this instructions.

1. Install WinRar, or 7zip.

2. Open the ROM in either of those programs (don't extract, just open it)

3. Navigate to system, then app, and there you will have to drag and drop the 2 files I have attached.

4. Let WinRar or 7zip save the file (It may take a while 7 - 10 minutes) BE PATIENT.

5. Transfer the modded ROM to your phone

6. Flash in TWRP (Make sure you wipe system partition)

7. Reboot to the system, complete the config wizar

8. Follow the steps to unlock (am.start....... etc.)

9. Enjoy

****** I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT S-OFF IS NOT REQUIRED TO SIM UNLOCK YOUR DEVICE ******

I have made a ton of these and NEVER had to S-Off

If you encounter any issues let me know.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] DanielGalan:
Hey my friend. The thing is that the stock rom doesn't bring the 2 apks required to unlock. So you actually have to push them to your phone. The easiest way is to add them to a custom rom to set the permissions automatically. The other way around is to root the phone, put the two files into the system/app folder and then manually set permissions. If you prefer just follow the instructions I sent on my earlier reply.

Cheers!

android is back to life!

thank you for your directions. good news Android is back to life again, bad news is that sim is still locked, I tried again from terminal emulator the (am.start....... etc.) but I got an error (please see the attached image). I follow all your steps very carefully, the only thing I had to do differently was that I put your attached files in the zip file using windows zip program and it did take a long time to finish (like 30min) I did try with winrar but it keep creating a new small file with just those 2 files. Is it possible that the 2 files were not added correctly?

Thank you for any advice on how to unlock it
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jacnsa:
going crazy

update: last night I tried the unlocksim.zip file and installed it on my device with TWRP, and then used the method with the the terminal emulator (am ...) and with the sim unlock helper too, but both send me the vDM client has stopped. I read it could be solved with insert coin system, so I go ahead and installed it, but still get the same message. Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] DanielGalan:
Hey man, I fotgot to tell ya, you have to be on JellyBean or KitKat for the sim unlock command works. I have tried pushing the files on Lollipop but it always got me force close, so it's better to flash a KitKat rom....

This is what I can do man, I will upload my modded ROM and send you link. Don't give up man.

EDIT: I forgot to ask, did you get the hidden menu where you tap API then SIM LOCK? Or couldn't you get there?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jacnsa:
I was thinking about the same thing

a minute ago I also remember I've read lollipop will not work. Your mooded ROM or any other that could do the trick will be the salvation for my m8. Thank you once again in advance
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] DanielGalan:
Alright don't worry man, after you successfully sim unlock you will be able to flash any ROM you like, I am using InsertCoin, but again I installed it after sim unlocking :D

EDIT: For the sake of time and my bandwidth. Can you try the steps I sent you yesterday but using 7zip instead? Please try, right now I have uploaded 100MB/1.5GB so imagine...

Hey guys, I am having the same problem. Unlocked, rooted, s-on. I tried installing the bad boys 2.1 mod you recommended on the first page, after swapping in the new files, and it still freezes at the HTC one screen. I did a factory wipe before the install as well. I am using a NON HK M8, however I thought that bad boys worked on either. Please let me know if I am incorrect in that aspect.

I am in a similar situation as I purchased this phone and now live in the Caribbean, sprint is blocking my new gsm carrier. What a headache sprint is.

bad news, it freezes at the htc one screen

Ok, I downloaded the file and installed it, but it freezes at the htc one screen. Is it possible that the firmaware version needs to be updated? other idea: On your #19 you say it is possible to push the 2 files directly once the system is running, is there a way we can try that? :confused:

A good start would be the Hermes Forums here.

You will find a lovely selection of them at the wiki - the Hermes section, of course.

Or, you could simply look around the Hermes subforum called WM6, and you will actually trip over them.

If you want to use it on Orange UK, unlock it (SIM, CID etc) (see wiki) and then use the official AKU3 - link in my sig.
