[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ac3boy:
Hi,

I have recently switched to Cingular and have SIM/CID unlocked my phone. I have downgraded it from tmobile 2.26 Rom to versions 2.24 and previous with the cooked ROMs from xelencin. I am now trying to update to the latest 2.25 8125 ROM but get the dreaded error [296]: upgrade error. I want to load the official cingular rom to get all the settings and the MMS application, etc.

Any ideas? I have seen many posts on other sites that say they have done it without an issue. Is their a way I can extract the rom from the Cingular exe ROM file and install it manually?

Any ideas welcome.

Thanks.

Is there a list of known issues with the 5.0.1 stock firmware?

The issue I'm encountering is no internet despite full mobile network 4g lte signal.

Toggling airplane mode on and then off fixes the issue.

I searched for no internet and didn't find any existing list of known issues.

I haven't factory reset after the upgrade.

In fact I only accidentally upgraded as I had been putting off the update and intended to skip it till a later one is released. But the other day somehow accidentally hit the update button.

If this issue isn't fixed by factory reset I'll probably odin back.

I have connection issues all the time. Sometimes while surfing the Web and making phonecalls.

Had the security boot error after uninstalling system apps with titanium. So I flashed the US991 KDZ, and got the device to boot. But of course no mobile data because it is the US cellular version, and not Sprint..... So if I could get the ZV4 system.img from someones dump, I should be able to reflash it.

So if anyone has it please, please, please post the link lol.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] solodV8:
My phone's camera making like mosquito noise while it is trying to focus. It takes 5 to 7 seconds to focus. Also GPS drops signal.

Question: I have AT&T phone which I paid full price for, but I don't have contract with them (paying month to month) . Should I go to AT&T service center or should I contact directly to Samsung? I didn't purchased any insurance from AT&T, but I think phone should have 1 year factory warranty.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Malaranu:
I would see if there is a AT&T Device Support Center around your area. They'll troubleshoot it and if they can't fix it, they'll ship you a refurb device and you can ship your broken one back after you receive the refurb. You can work through Samsung too, but most likely, they'll ask you to ship it in and you'll have no device during the time it takes for them to fix it. They may also send back a refurb if they can't fix it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] carelockh:
I would just contact AT&T. I had to call them up a week ago because my phone started overheating and my gps kept dropping signal too and I couldn't make/get phone calls from it anymore. They are going to ask if there's any physical or liquid damages done to it of course, usual routine. As long as the phone is in good condition you won't get charged for the full price of the phone on their terms.

They sent me a replacement overnight and I simply return shipped my malfunctioning phone back to them.

After root & flashing tab 2 is not not working properly (Android 5.1 Lollipop CM12.1)

I never flashed and rooted and android before so today I tried on my tab 2 gt-p3100 and results are not good. After flashing the custom rom my internet is not working properly. Specially 3g is not working and 2g is now slow also restricting me to use some websites and play store too. I never expected such results from It. Please advise me what should I do now. Can I go back to the official Samsung's status how it was when I purchased (unrooted and 4.1.1.) .

Also if 5.1 is not compatible to my device, than what should be the best custom rom for it?

Ive been on multiple ROMS and all of them have TERRIBLE battery drain issues with google play services. Currently im on ICE 3.1.1 but have used ARHD, Maximus, and LeDroid, all of them had this issue. i dont think its ROM replated but maybe some settings? im using greenify for ALL apps i installed including the google app, google play games, maps, street view, gmail, etc. if its not a system app, i greenify it. currently my phone has been on for 3.5 hrs and im at 85% with 30mins SOT and 37% screen off usage is due to google services. keep awake time is at 30mins. ive been on 4G most of the time with wifi turned off. what settings could this be related to? the battery dies so quickly when screen is off! just letting it sit idle for 10 mins dropped it 1-2%!
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cstrife999:
Using 4g usually uses more battery than WiFi so probably use WiFi when available. However that's still bad. Everyone has Google play services that has a US Android phone so everyone would have the issue if it were purely that.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quadrider10:
even on wifi, it has this issue.... again, its been like this on multiple ROMS, so thats why i was thinking it something related to some settings or something.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
As far as I know it's a more or less common issue that has already existed on my old One S. Maybe it's even older. (I'm not even sure whether it's a HTC specific issue.) If I remember correctly a real solution was never found. Sometimes a Play Services update fixes the problem, sometimes flashing a RUU and sometimes a clean flash of the rom you are using. (Luckily I never had to face this problem.)

I dismounted my SDcard for a few days from my phone which caused the apps that were transferred to my SDcard to disappear from my app drawer. I reinstalled the apps that were removed from my phone. But after I rebooted it there were duplicate app icons in my app drawer.

I can't hide the second app icon since it will also hide the other one, too. I tried turning my phone off and taking out the battery but it didn't work. Please tell me what I can do to make this stop. :( I am rooted using SkyDragon btw and not using any custom launcher.

Solved for me

happened to my lg g3 D856 and D858HK

it is a bug in lg luncher to see duplicate app icon in drawer, happens too after restoring full backup of the phone, the solution is to uninstall the app, after uninstalling you will still see 1 icon for the app try uninstall if can't then restart you should then find no icons for that app, now you can install it again and will be 1 icon ;)

Not solved for me though

Hi All

Noticed that the top inch or so of my screen becomes unresponsive from time to time. So I cannot pull down the notifications or menu. Also if I try to do anything else (call, text, access apps etc) it does not respond.

A restart seems to sort it out but none the less it is annoying and I would like to know if there is something I can do to sort it out?

Is there any type of screen protector installed? Please ensure the firmware is updated to the latest version. Please try booting in safe mode to see if possibly there is a 3rd party app causing the issue. Please see the following for safe boot http://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1005163/ If problem still exists then we recommend performing a hardware reset including cache wipe partition.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJBXDA:
I do have a screen protector but I do not think it is that as it happens randomly and rebooting it fixes it.

When I tried to boot into recovery so that I can clear the cache I also get an error, basically the open droid on his back with the word error so I cannot even boot into recovery.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowledge@heart:
When you see the open droid, Do the following.

Press Power (Hold), Press Volume Up and leave Volume Up.

You will enter recovery.

I think it is a hardware issue.

But still, try wiping cache and if possible do a factory reset (After Backup). Do not install any apps for a couple of days and see if the problem reoccurs

Edit:

Hey, Your Signature says you have a 3.2 Ghz Zenfone:eek:. Damn It, I too should have bought that one.:laugh: (Correct It:D)
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJBXDA:
Thanks but that does not work. When I boot using power and volume up, I get the open droid and the boot options. I choose recovery and it boots but then I get an open droid with a red triangle with an '!' inside coming from his belly and the message 'Error!' underneath. From there the only thing that seems to work is holding the power button for about 10 seconds and that then turns the device off.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowledge@heart:
THERE YOU HAVE TO DO THE FOLLOWING:

Press Power + Volume up

And release only volume up while holding the power button. And once you see recovery, release power button too.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
I find this occurs onmine sometimes too, the dead screen, not the unable to get to recovery. It has to be software as when you rotate the phone the problem still occurs on the top of the phone.

It is very occasional, generally after a reboot, and another reboot will fix it but just an annoyance.

Funny thing is, I have 2 Zenfone 2's one a 2.3ghz 64gb and a 1.8ghz(I'd love it if the transcribe error was right, 8.1ghz would kill anything and heat up the room like a fire) 32gb phone and the problem is present on both...
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJBXDA:
No need for the CAPS! All you had to say is to press them when I get the droid with the error message, I thought you meant when I first entered to select the recovery mode. Thank you, managed to get in.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJBXDA:
Strange.

Perhaps Asus_USA could get back to us about this?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowledge@heart:
Hahahaha!!! Seriously Mate. 8.1Ghz:eek::eek: Just imagine Antutu Benchmark Scores, Single core performance!!!. Asus could then have advertised zenfone 2 As a mobile + Room Heater.

Well, By CAPS i never meant to be rude. I was just emphasizing that "There" (Where you see the droid bot)"You have to do the following". Caps grabs attention:D.

Hi Guys,

I dropped my zenfone2 in water yesterday.. Just for 2 seconds though.. I found the screen behaving weird,so switched off,removed all parts and kept to dry. There was some lag in the screen. At night again kept it in rice jar and also dried for sometime in sun.

1 problem i am facing is, since yesterday,the exact middle part(about 1 inch) of the screen has become unresponsive. Rest everything is working fine except this. Due to this facing issues with handling the phone.

Please if someone can help that would be great. Or do i need to visit the service centre?

I was trying to cook a modded ROM for the i607, I was able to extract the nb0 from the bin file using cvrtbin & viewbin > then Mamaich's prepare_imgfs > viewimgfs > dump > modify/add/delete files > buildimgfs > makeimgfs and I know this is basically what you do with the Hermes ROM, however making it back to a BIN file has proven to be a "no go". I have tried splitrom.pl, rommaster, xipbin, etc, but I am afraid without the right utility this will not happen.

Does anybody know if there is a Tool to convert the cooked nb0 back into WMx B000F bin file? There is an old tool for Mobilpro xipbin.exe, however the block size and lenght of ROM does not match. Doing the splitting in sectors and retrieving the checksum manually is going to take a lifetime...

Just an idea: Could it be possible to use a blank CE.BIB with only the start and offset of the ROM and romimage from MS PB builder together with the nb0 file above?

Any good ideas are welcome.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] trinca:
I tried using romimage with no results

I tried to use Romimage from MS platform builder, and after many attempts I gave up. I basically used a minimal CE.BIB and the patched ROM (nb0) file as the source to be inserted. It creates the Run-time BIN file with 4K blocks where it should be making it 128Kb ones.

TO Do:

Try an HEX editor with macro or script capabilities, to perform the following process

1.- Strip the HEADER+RECORD section from the original FLASH file

2.- Strip all zeroes preceding the patched ROM (NB0) before the start point

3.- Cut the patched ROM in 128K chunks (about 500 pieces) called blocks or records

4.- Calculate the Checksum 32 of everyone of these chunks and annotate it

5.- Make the HEADER of the RECORD annotating (in little endian) : Start Address - Lenght(Block Size) - Checksum 32 for every record

6.- Join the HEADER to the respective record. Iterate this process until finished (some 500 times)

7.- Insert the above joined (HEADER+RECORD) section into the stripped flash file in step 1

8.- Here comes the scary part:eek: : flash the phone with this MOD (just the PDA section)

9.- If successful, make a program to automate steps 1 to 7

Wish me good luck...

On other comment: according to Texas Instruments, in the Code Composer Studio for OMAP processors, it can be connected to the phone via a COM port using HyperTerminal. Alternatively I think if we can flash the phone using this method and a ROM type NB0.... Perhaps no, as the flash program just connects to the phone using the Serial port qhen in Flash mode. This program also accepts img files, I tried to rename the nb0 file to img and didn't work. Does anybody know what these Samsung's img files are?

Is anybody interested on this matter? Please don't just read the post, start replying... If we really want to MOD this phone, being it the BlackJack i607 or the European i600, we need to start doing some Reverse Engineering..., the people at xda-developers had started this way to master the HTC and similars.

For those of you who would like to start cooking this ROM

I was able to extract the plain image using cvrtbin (MS tool that comes with visual studio) you may grab a copy from here:

http://www.toradex.com/colibri_downloads/Linux/linux_to_wince/?D=D

Then you will be able to use the common tools from xda-developers such as prepare_imgfs (with the switch -acer) from the WM5 kitchen made by itsme (first sticky in this forum) and so on.

Making the ROM back to the B000FF format is going to be the trouble... So far there is not an easy come back... yet!

There is also an excellent article on Mobilepro BIN roms made by cmonex, you can get a copy of that tutorial inside his Romtool package, get it from here:

http://hpcmonex.net/nec900/files/releases/romtoolpack.zip

Be informed the Mobilepro ROM is very different in the way the Runtime file is organized, however the tutorial is the best resource I have seen so far.

Besides, there are some really good tools inside that package

Best regards and start cooking!:)
