WM5 to WM6 (Black Majik) and the latest (1.43) Radio - UPDATE

This is an update to my original post at the top of these postings

My Black MAJIK Experience - Going well so far!

All going very well :) still and no problems at all with any software. Some slight slow-down after installing all the software but that is to be expected with any OS build. The main problem with slow-down (only slight) appears to be caused by Today screen plug-ins - the HTC Home Plug-in in particular.

Likes: Very Stable, absolutely no Micro SD card issues (had them with WM5), looks and ease of use of the WM6 Internet sharing capability which even my daughter can share on her Mac laptop!

Dislikes: very few indeed - go for it! There is a newer Black "Satin" in creation (JJ working on this right now) which is based upon the official HTC WM6 build - might try that next when others have posted on their experience. My only small dislike is the lack of contrast on the start menu with the black theme - in bright light it's easy to miss selections.

Problems: On a couple of occasions the speed dials have gone missing (suspect I caused it). I locked-up the device once and had to hard-reset but that was my fault again because I used too many Today screen plug-ins and it would not boot completely. Now have Monocube Safe Mode 2 (recommended) installed and so I can push the limits of Today plug-ins and not fear being unable to boot-up now.

Radio - I had absolutely no problems with the 1.43 radio but of course had to try the even newer 1.47 version. This new one seems little diffrent so far so I'll give a week. Do not forget to check Hard SPL is still on your device before flashing updates - the super CID/SIM unlock removes Hard SPL - so you need to put it back. BTW - there are instructions on how to remove the SIM lock without applying the Super CID fix - they seem more complicated but it might be worth a look before you embark upon the Super CID route.

Unless you see more from me then assume that my experience with Black MAJIK and the latest radios (1.43 and 1.47) are all going well. If you want more detail before embarking then just PM me - but read this whole post first.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] hughk:
problems

I have followed your instructions and installed the new radio and black majik and have used it for a couple of weeks. I have experienced problems with voice calling. The Icon tells me there is no service provider (T-mobile in my case), I can't make voice calls but SMS and internet still work. A hard reset solves the problem - but then I need to reload everything - annoying to do once per week.

I will probably try a different radio, unless people have other ideas?

Where abouts are you?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] tony.wheeler:
Hugh,

I have still had no radio/phone problems at all. If you have the Hard SPL still on the device (it will be unless you did the Super CID bit) then you can just flash new radio ROMs to the device without ANY need for a hard reset. The radio is completely idependant from the OS. It sounds to me like you must either have a radio/phone hardware problem (were there any issues before upgrading?) or the radio flash upgrade was not completed correctly. Did you use the radio ROM linked to from this site?

I'd suggest that you check HardSPL is there then simply run the radio ROM update again. Providing you do this correctly and do not brick your device by doing something silly - like disconnecting USB or power - the upggade of radio should have no impact upon the data or programs installed on your device - and that also includes all your SMS/MMS, E-mail and Conenctions settings.

Good luck

I can't seem,to run this Rom on my vs985...this is the 4th AOSP build I've tried and none of them work...they all freeze up and start to boot loop after 15 minutes...
[Verizon LG G3] quietst0rm:
Ive had my lg g3 for 2 weeks now and have tried all the ROMs. Broken is my fav by far and will continue to be my daily. Extremely fast and stable, great battery life and no bugs. Coming from years of droids (1,2 and 4) its nice being on an updated phone lol. Miss my physical keyboard though but I'm slowly getting over it. Thanks for all the hard work!

Broken rom and Gapps

Just a quick FYI. I installed Broken ROM for the first time to try out. One thing I discovered and figured I'd share.

If you're using OpenGAPPS don't try to use the stock version, it'll prevent broken rom from booting. Use full at the very most.
[Verizon LG G3] marcmv:
3G on Broken Rom

I just installed Broken Rom on my vs985. I am seeing the same thing people have stated about 3g vs lte. I tried the suggestion of installing 3.2 then upgrading to 3.3 but the 3.3 script formatted /system so it was a clean install (except for wiping data). All gapps were deleted.

What I'm finding is it's a bit random. Sometimes I get 3G but then when I reboot I get LTE. This is my first day with this ROM but I'm loving all of the customization. It's got a lot more than all of the others I've tried over the past couple months.

A big thanks to the team who has put all the time and effort into making a great product.

I installed BrokenROM on Sunday and I'm not having any issues with google apps. gmail, now, hangouts, etc. all work fine.

What GAPPS are you running? I'm using OpenGAPPS. I would recommend mini or full but do not try stock.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
OK,

So I'm trying to get some help regarding this issue. I will continue to try different ROM's and what not to see if it can be resolved. I'm simply at a loss to where the issue lies though, however as of today, every custom ROM has been giving me trouble. My plan for today is to flash a stock ROM via Odin and then if that works go for Imperium, however I'm hoping with your help I may be able to solve it on something like CM12 or what not because I prefer the flexibility of a proper custom ROM.

OK, so the issue I have:

I have a car head unit which has bluetooth built-in. Music plays fine through Bluetooth, no jitters or issues. However, when I try and call someone and I'm listening to the radio or something non-Bluetooth, the phone does not send the signal (?) to the head unit to switch to Bluetooth. This means the call will be made via the dialer app and while the audio IS being routed through the bluetooth channel, the head unit does not know about it because it hasn't received the signal to switch to Bluetooth. I can switch it manually to Bluetooth and make and receive calls, but this isn't convenient at all and probably quite dangerous when I'm driving a car. The same applies when receiving a call.

Here's the thing, if I go into Bluetooth, select CAR KIT and go configuration, if I disable Media Audio, then it works fine! The phone correctly sends the signal to switch to Bluetooth and the head unit does so. The call goes through and it all works fine. This is repeatable.

Therefore, the issue I'm having lies in the fact both Media and Phone Audio are enabled at the same time. Has anyone else had this issue and does anyone have a suggestion to fix it?

Before someone suggests "just disable media audio". My answer is no, this isn't convenient at all. I use Bluetooth media quite a lot, and simply disabling and re-enabling it everytime simply isn't an option.

So far, I've had this issue on:

CM12.1 Optimized

CM12.1 Nightly

Mokee ROM

DirtyUnicorns

CM12 Nightly

I'm yet to try a stock Lollipop ROM. I know for a fact however, that stock KitKat DOES work.

I really could do with some help here, so any suggestions would be awesome.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:
all the roms you have tried are aosp....aosp is not designed for the s4 as its not an officially supported device (its not a nexus) so things like bluetooth and the camera will always be broken as the required stuff needed is proprietary to samsung

go back to stock and your problem will be solved
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
The Bluetooth itself is fine. Audio quality is fine. Call quality is fine. It just seems like a tiny little thing that's causing all these issues for me, because if it could trigger my car head unit to switch, I wouldn't even dream of stock. Also the camera seems fine to be fair?

I'm not keen on going back to stock.... at all, so I'm thinking Imperium. It's a shame though because apart from this BT issue, CM12 is fantastic on this device. Takes a 2 year old phone and makes it feel like a brand new phone.

I really hope someone can fix that Bluetooth bug in CM12.1. I may even look myself, it must be something pretty small from a coding perspective because as I said, the functionality is clearly there as evidenced by the fact it works with Media audio turned off.

Regardless, thanks anyway

[Motorola Photon 4G] DjSergio1:
Hello, XDA guys, Sergio here.

I have a Motorola Photon 4G with Android 2.3.5 and I'm desperately (sorry if I misspelled) searching a way to unlock the bootloader. This is all, does some one have the files to unlock the bootloader breaking 4G? We don't have that kind of network here, so it won't matter.

If you need build numbers or that kind of data, I'll provide them.

I've found the pudding.rar thread, but links are dead. If you could provide me with the files for the unlock, I'd be very grateful.

Best regards, thanks community!

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xbox-er:
Sorry, I have checked with many forums, but couldn't find any solution to this problem...

I shall present a detailed step-by-step recollection of events...

1.) I am running Windows 7 (64-bit) on my PC.

2.) I have recently bought an Asus Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) on 05-July-2015.

Specs: 2.3 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB in-built memory, Android 5.0 Lollipop.

OEM Firmware no. that the phone came with is: <WW 2.15.40.13_20150506>

3.) The first thing I did upon receiving the phone is to set a password and encrypt the phone (encryption took only 30 seconds or so).

At that time, my phone did NOT have any SIM card or External SD Card.

Phone was also NOT rooted.

4.) Enabled USB Debugging on my Zenfone 2 (in MTP mode).

5.) Downloaded latest updated Firmware from Asus Support Centre: <WW V2.19.40.22> dated 03-07-2015

The firmware is in ZIP format and is stored on my PC's harddrive.

6.) Downloaded "ASUS Android USB Drivers for Windows" v2.0 dated 05-03-2015

7.) Downloaded "Intel USB Driver for Android Devices" v1.9.0 dated 29-Apr-2015

8.) Downloaded latest ADB FastBoot Drivers v1.4.2

9.) Installed the Intel USB Driver (from step-7 above).

10.) Restarted PC.

11.) Went to Windows Device Manager, updated driver from ASUS Android USB drivers (from step-6 above), even though Intel's drivers are more recent.

After installing Asus's own drivers, my Device Manager looks like this (see image):

View attachment 3392785

12.) Restarted PC.

13.) At this time, Zenfone 2 is connected to Windows via both MTP (Media Files) and PTP (Camera files) modes.

14.) Installed ADB drivers into System-wide Mode (C:\adb) in Windows.

15.) Turned-off the phone and restarted phone in Recovery Mode.

16.) Connected the phone to Windows PC by OEM cable.

17.) On phone's recovery menu, selected "apply update from ADB".

18.) Opened Windows Command Prompt in the ADB folder (C:\adb),

and typed: "adb devices".

19.) This is where I am stuck. The CMD screen looks like this (see image)

View attachment 3392786

20.) After reading some forums, I have switched to PTP Mode in phone's Settings->Storage USB Settings.

But the problem persists. I cannot get ADB running in Windows to detect to my Android phone even after connecting to it.

Can anyone tell what have I missed? If someone knows the solution, please please help me.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xbox-er:
Simple straightforward way to update firmware on Asus Zenfone 2 without ADB

GOD SAVE ME!!!

Barely minutes after I had given up on the ADB thing, I have found a way to install firmwares on my Asus Zenfone 2 phone.

Note: The main problem I have outlined in this thread is to be able to install Updated OEM Firmware from ASUS. This is not OTA upgrade, but FULL firmware update.

I shall share my experience on this subject in a step-by-step way:

1.) First, make sure that you can transfer files from your Android phone to Windows via USB cable (install the necessary drivers – see my post above.)

2.) You must also have downloaded the latest firmware in ZIP format from ASUS support page (for links, please refer to my above post).

Rest of the stuff I am paraphrasing from ASUS Support section:

3.) Connect your phone with PC via micro USB cable, and copy the entire ZIP file (firmware) to the root directory of internal storage of phone (see pic below).

View attachment 3392841

4.) After copying is complete, detach the USB cable from the phone.

5.) The notification for firmware update will pop-up on status bar (top-left corner, see pic below):

View attachment 3392842

6.) Pull down the notification bar, and tap "System Update File Detected..." (see pic below).

Follow steps to update firmware.

- Phone may restart several times during update,

- Phone must have min. 15% charge, or best, connect phone to power source while update is on.

View attachment 3392843

7.) After update, I have noticed that:

- Phone encryption is intact and is just like what it was before update,

- But screen UI settings have been completely reset,

- I can't comment on Phonebook / Contacts, because my phone still does NOT have a SIM card.

- My phone is still NOT rooted.

8.) Do remember to delete the original Firmware ZIP file on the root directory of your phone. The file size is huge and the phone does NOT delete it automatically. Besides, once updated, there is no need for the ZIP file, I think.

So this is a simple (and the official) way to update firmware on an Asus Zenfone 2 without any need for Rooting / ADB and other hacks.

No need to install ADB, no need to Root the phone!

Easy!

But despite the above solution, the fact still remains that the "15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.2" does not work with Asus Zenfone 2 (as least that is my experience so far).

Forget doing "adb devices" command just try this simple command "adb reboot bootloader" ... You will see your phone reboot into bootloader/fastboot mode...if this works it means you have a working adb....

adb devices is an easy way to detect if adb can see any devices.

If adb devices returns nothing, then no matter what adb commands you enter, nothing will work. You're basically telling him to enter commands while nothing is detected. They'll have no impact.
