SIM Card

I am waiting for the SIM Card from Boost.

They told me that I should be able to get 3G without the SIM Card.

I was able to write the APNs for boost using different ROMs but I can't get 3G.

Maybe I do need the SIM Card to get both 3G and 4G LTE?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] swoopt25:
Ya they did that same thing to me because on their end ( which I'm sure they told you) your phone is receiving data and fully working according to their system data even though obviously it isn't just like mine wasn't. While I was waiting for the new sim card I did receive 3g and when the sim card came once i put it in and

They helped me walk through it I was right back at square one which is probably where you will end up even though I hope not for your sake. Either way do exactly what maximum overdrive ( I believe it was him) says in his post above. I only had to flash the boost mobile fix ( s3 thread I think but search will get you to it) via twrp to get LTE back but my phone wouldnt get 3g at that point. I was on temaseks rom. The zip file says it only works for touchwiz but I had other results as stated. My network went from unknown or chameleon back to boost. I then flashed the s6 port by sacs and played with the apns ( you can find info above) and manually do it. I did it through the data menu (##3282#) I believe that's what it is....I then got 3g and LTE then I flashed temaseks ROM again and only had LTE again. Then I flashed dirty unicorns and after toggling airplane mode a few times got the apns visible and edited in the boost apns and deleted the others rebooted and bang profit.... I have both 3g and 4g again... NO THANKS TO BOOST OR SPRINT..... I LOVE XDA!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Innoruck:
Hello all.. I have been scouring everywhere for a fix to my problem and I think this is it.. Quick run down of my situation..

I have a S900P (original owner) Sprint's coverage at my old house was **** so I bought out my contract and just put the phone in storage. FF to now. I get amazing 4G LTE at my new location. So I reactivate my note 3 with Boost. Everything is fine till I start playing round with flashing custom rom's, at which point I was unable to get ANY data service on ANY custom ROM. (deodexed stock ROM's worked fine). I've lost track of how many modem/baseband/software combos I have gone through but here's where I'm at now..

I am using the original Sprint SIM card which came with the phone.

I'm pretty sure at this point all I need to do is get a new SIM from Boost, and proceed from there using my current build. Please let me know if I'm on the right track, WAY off, or What.

As always THANKS XDA for your godliness!!

A few points of clarification...

My phone has not given me a boost splash in quite a while, only Sprint.

I had another strange issue 2 days ago while, after another failed custom ROM flash, upon unrooting and goig back to 100% stock OK2. I wasnt able to use their DATA/Voice services (no text or phone calls) However the 4gLTE never stopped working.

I've compiled TWRP 2.8.7.0 for Android One second generation.

Everything I've tested (all major functions), are working, minor issues may exist (or even not).

Just test it.

31.08.2015: fixed partition naming - Now compatible with OTA updates.

(thanks to pawitp).

EDIT: If you want to test it first without flashing to device, boot into fastboot mode and use the following command:

fastboot boot twrp_iq2.img
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] kashmieer:
I can confirm that this works with General Mobile 4G. Flashed via Flashify.

Edit: It apperas to have some problems while mounting. There might be wrong paths to system partitions.:confused:
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] vel_tins:
Maybe GM 4G does have a slightly different partition layout compared to i-mobile IQII (?)

Which partitions doesn't mount?

Do you have a recovery.log?

Post (or paste it somewhere) your output of:

mount

cat /proc/partitions

busybox df -a

and if rooted:

ls -al /dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] kashmieer:
Cache doesn't mount. My device is bricked now after trying to wipe cache/dalvik. Good thing that weeks ago I looked into partitions. :)

Also can you make it flashable? I cannot get my fastboot working.

Here are the logs:
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] vel_tins:
The partition layout is identical to the IQII, so it should work

EDIT: But Partition size is different!

/data | /dev/block/mmcblk0p31 | Size: 12352MB Used: 3658MB Free: 4546MB Backup Size: 3658MB

<-- there is something wrong here - look at the sizes...

Please post the output of:

cat /proc/partitions
busybox df -a

Will investigate later today...
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] kashmieer:
Sorry mate, flashed PhilZ to save the device.
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] vel_tins:
After doing some tests, I found out, that it is impossible to brick the device, if "cache" can't be mounted!

If you try to wipe cache/dalvik, without properly mounted "cache" partition, TWRP simply stops with an error message.

So it's more likely, your cache partition was damaged (or any other reason) somehow, so it couldn't mount properly.

EDIT: I will edit my first post, because your "bricking problem" seems not to be TWRP related.

Here my test with with an unmountable "cache" partition, after failing to wipe, it rebooted into Android without any issues.

[Android One (Second-Generation) General] body150165:
Hi guys,

I watered my previous device and am looking to buy the IQ 2 tomorrow. As all my devices has been rooted and run TWRP, it is mandatory to do the same with the IQ2.

Still, I am not familiar with fastboot commands.

Is there a step by step guide?

As far as I understand, I have to activate developer options and install universal adb drivers. Then open cmd and check with

fastboot oem device-info

if the bootloader is unlocked, If hopefully so, I will have copied the twrp_iq2.img to the storage and type

fastboot boot twrp_iq2.img

As far as I understand, it will boot into twrp temporarily. Not sure what is the advantage of this over a permanent flash. But anyway.

If I want to flash it, what is the proper command then? Didn't find it here and as i said, I am not familiar with the fastboot commands.

Final question: As far as I read, TWRP will ask me if I want to root the device? Is that correct?

Thanks in advance for the help
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] berkantkz:
If it is unlocked, it will be flashed properly. But if it isn't, i can't help you.

Yes, it will ask you about rooting. Even if it doesn't, you can root easily after installing TWRP.
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] vel_tins:
The bootloader is locked, you have to execute

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot flash recovery twrp_iq2.img

Booting it temporarily will keep compatibility with Google updates, but you have full access to the phone.

I use TWRP that way to replace the "hosts" file to stop ads.

Yes, but be warned, that rooting or even replacing/deleting "System Apps" or files, will break all the compatibility with further updates from Google!

Additionally, if you're on MM don't use the "built-in rooting", you will need to flash a MM compatible "root.zip" manually.
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] body150165:
Thank you for your answer. I am not worried about routing the device and the consequences. If I make a proper nandroid backup or else, I will be able to restore it to original state.

Root is important for me as I want to use AdAway and TitaniumBackup a well as root explorer functions.

Can you describe your adblock solution by updating the hosts file? How is that working?
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] vel_tins:
I simply do the same what "Adaway" does: replacing "hosts" in "system/etc"

Copying the "hosts" file, (generated by Adaway or similar) from one of my rooted devices to the IQ-II using TWRP's file-manager, done.

Titanium Backup might be useful some times, but for the "real stuff", you need TWRP anyway...

I absolutely support rooting a device, but only these which will definitely never get further OTA updates!

Android One and Nexus should be kept untouched (except the hosts file), if you want "easy2install" updates/upgrades.

Otherwise its a pain in the as* (e.g. modifying updater-script), to get the OTA's installed :p
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] body150165:
Hi, thanks for your explanation. Unfortunately, I don't have another rooted device. Therefore, I will check my previous phone to see the content of the hosts file. I suspect that it is just a merged text file from AdAway's sources. If so, it is a bit more of foot work, but manageable.

I understand your opinion about root but I follow a different direction. I prefer root to add apps and functions that otherwise are not available.

Though I agree that the lack of a proper "flashtool" like the one for first generation Android one is sad to see. It would make everything more easy.

Having said that I have to admit that I am not capable of programming this kind of tool.
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] vel_tins:
No need for a "flash tool" (which would just be a wrapper for fastboot/adb).

But what you need is a factory image, or a modified OTA if you have root or xposed installed.

With a properly modified updater-script, a re-signed OTA and a modded stock recovery which accepts these OTA, it's absolutely possible, I did this many times, before I set the IQ-II back to stock.

But... ;)
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] body150165:
Yeah, well.... for somebody with your skills it might be an easy task. I am coming from a Samsung S4. When I ran touchwiz, it was easy to find sources and guides to do everything. After changing to CyanogenMod, it even became easier.

Now I am moving into new territory and I have no idea about adb commands. I guess I have to learn more about it.

It still bothers me that i don't have a possibility to block calls and customize my phone to my ideas. Maybe it just takes some time to adapt to "stock" Android.

Having said that I am not familiar with adb commands: In the first post, you describe to run twrp temporarily. I assume that I have to extract the zip to my phone's internal sd? Or the command will be executed from the Computer and I have to extract it to which destination?

Damn, I hate these noob questions. Thank you for your lot of help already.
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] vel_tins:
here is a "hosts" file, updated today, 8.Dec.2015 by Adaway

Just flash it with TWRP.
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] body150165:
I took a look into the hosts file from my old phone. It is indeed just a text file. I merged the text from the 4 different sources and created my own hosts file from that. Will see if it is working. Thanks for providing the additional file. If my file doesn't work then I can give it a try.

Now have to set up jdk and sdk in order to execute adb commands. I will report.
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] vel_tins:
jdk is not necessary for adb/fastboot.
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] body150165:
Hi [MENTION=517401]vel_tins[/MENTION],

thank you for your efforts. But it seems that I have driver problems on my PC. I use this PC for years and for several Android. devices. Now it rejects to accept new drivers as it persists to claim that the latest drivers are installed. I say facepalm. The latest usb drivers installed are signed by clockworkmod. That says all.

Anyway, in the hardware (devices and printers) overview in Win7, it shows me an Android Nexus device and tells me that adb drivers are working. In windows explorer, the phone does not appear despite I set the phone to MTP.

USB debugging is activated in the phone. I tried several different USB cables and different USB ports.

If I execute cmd in the according sdk folder and execute "adb devices" the output is: "List of devices attached". But there is no list. It is just empty.

So, it seems that the phone can not be addressed by sdk although adb drivers are correctly installed. Here my doubts arise.

Do I have to rely on adb? Or is there a way to execute commands in a terminal app within Android to unlock the bootloader and boot into TWRP?
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] body150165:
solved the problem, though it cost me a few gray hair. I really dislike if Windows insists that the best drivers are installed already.... grrr...

Anyway. "adb devices" shows me the serial number of my phone. Thats a step forward....

Still I am not sure where I have to place the twrp_iq2.img. I just assume that i have to move it to the same folder where adb is located...

So.... in the phone's developers option I activated "allow unlock bootloader".

in cmd, I typed "fastboot oem device-info" and the output is "< waiting for device >"

Then I typed "fastboot reboot bootloader" with the same output: "< waiting for device >"

Do I have to physically boot the phone into fastboot mode with a certain key combo?

[MENTION=517401]vel_tins[/MENTION]: what am I doing wrong?
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] vel_tins:
Good

Correct

First, I would suggest to copy the following files into your Windows directory, so can access them from "everywhere"

aapt.exe
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe

Than right-click your folder which contains "twrp_iq2.img" while holding the "shift key" and select: Open command prompt here (not 100% sure about the syntax since I am using a German Windows version)

You have to reboot in "bootloader mode" first!

adb reboot bootloader

than type

fastboot devices

should result in something like: "c73a281e fastboot"

than:

fastboot oem device-info

should result in something like:

(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: true
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.016s]
finished. total time: 0.016s

Now unlock the bootloader:

fastboot oem unlock-go
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] body150165:
Thanks for your efforts [MENTION=517401]vel_tins[/MENTION],

Don't worry about using German as I am German as well (though living in Thailand and using English Win7). But for the sake of the community we should keep English language as a standard.

I now see that you bought your phone in Thailand. Do you also live here?

I will proceed with your description and report.

Kind regards
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] body150165:
[MENTION=517401]vel_tins[/MENTION]: after I executed the "fastboot unlock bootloader-go" command, it took around 5 minutes that it displayed the Android bot with "deleting". Then it went to the bootlogo and stays there for around 10 minutes already. I will wait 5 minutes more as I assume that this process should not take so long. I hope that I did not brick my device...

Damn, I should leave my fingers from things that I don't know about....

Edit: pulled the plug and the phone booted immediately. Didn't know that. Also didn't know that unlocking the bootloader will cause a factory reset. But well.... that's ok. Will set up my phone again now and then try to boot into TWRP.

Exciting times, hehe
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] vel_tins:
Yes forgot to mention, that unlocking causes a factory reset for security reasons.

If you want to try TWRP, use the one from this thread instead of mine, it's a little bit more "up to date"

http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-de...p-2-8-7-1-imobile-iq-ii-chery-mobile-t3236396

Yes.
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] body150165:
I downloaded the recommended recovery from the thread and also read that it will ask me to root. So, when I booted into TWRP i got a screen that told me that I have an unmodified system partition and if I want to make changes or just use it as read only.

As I intended to make a Nandroid backup first, I chose to run it as read only. Nandroid backup was successful.

Then I tried to copy a new "hosts" file to /system/etc but the folder is not visible. If I use the TWRP file manager, I can only see the folder /system/bin. Nothing else.

Is the request to make changes to system partition the "root"-request? Or can i agree to make changes?

I did not find any other screen with a request to grant root.
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] vel_tins:
Boot into TWRP, click the "Mount" button and on the next screen mark the checkbox "System".

After copying the hosts file, don't forget to "chmod 0644" it.
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] body150165:
Understood to mount system. Should have thought about it.

The permissions are available via TWRP's file browser or do I have to use TWRP's terminal command and execute with the command "chmod 644 /system/etc/hosts"?

Edit: Found the "chmod"-button which leads me to a 4-digit area. I guess that I have to key in "0644".

Will see...

[MENTION=4498020]body150165[/MENTION] and vel-tins,..Newbie here, Was reading this thread with the possibilities that I could add TWRP to my Android one G1 (cherry mobile 2nd gen). but nothing since body,s last message, ., My first post on xda, so hope I am posting in proper thread, Very interested in learning more about the one G1 and clones of it. .My G1 out of box had android 5.1.1. ,Now after I think 3 OTA updates, it has version 6.0.1.

[Android One (Second-Generation) General] body150165:
Hello,

As far as I understand, the both devices are actually the same.

However, I think you don't risk anything as you don't have to flash the recovery in first place. Just loading TWRP temporarily should be sufficient to find out if it is working for your purposes.

I guess you find all required information in this thread to process the task. What more questions do you have?
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] Sockit2me:
Thank you for prompt answer to my first post, .Well, To tell you truth, I tried first of all to go back to android LUZ59Q using adb /fastboot, but not successful, Got adb prog as far as into switching my phone Cherry Mobile H220 into recovery, but no success after that when I tried to sideload the stock LUZ59Q file, Maybe this is where I,m going wrong?.. When I tried Power button, no further progress or yellow writing at bottom of phone, . So, gave up on that adventure, Thats why I made my first post on here, maybe if I tried TWRP or Philz rec, I might get more control of phone, What,s your view on that Sir. I cant reply fast to you as I,m just restricted at present time by xda rules, as you understand, , Thank you again.

Ok, I've been running a Note 2 for a VERY long time since released. ROMing, rooting, etc was super simple and did it often. However, its been a year or more since I've had to do anything. Now with my new phone it seems there are a lot of new hoops to jump through. I already got the AT&T has detected something yada yada you're screwed yada yada and had to flash back stock firmware with Odin.

So I have rooted with towelroot. I've tried installing the TWRP via their app which caused the first soft AT&T brick.

I don't care about warranty, timer fuse, flash ticker etc etc. I bought the S5 new but second hand. I hate asking to be spoon fed how or where to look but I'm at my wits end. Don't even have to say anything just provide some links. I havent been on a stock android in years and this is killing me.

I've read something about needing Loki to bypass bootloader but saw it's for S4 and not sure what to do with it.

I have the US version of the Galaxy S5 running 4.4.2 Model 900A. I see CWM and TWRP links I've found say they can't do to bootloader lock so not sure where to go.
