[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] essteekay:
Right now, just going to keep things as is. I'm in a location with pretty spotty internet, so downloading 1+ GB ROMs isn't that easy. Probably just keep it so that I can use my device and then tinker on it when I'm back at home. I was notified that the Android 5.0.1 update is available for download, but right now I'm holding off doing anything else.

I'm just glad I got it back to working order now.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChickenOmelette:
Here's what I got told to do:

After doing all this, I tried updating the phone from the Rogers pushed update. Unfortunately, that pushed me back to step 1, where the phone wouldn't boot up, so I had to start from scratch. Now that I have SuperCID, I'm going to try to apply a stock OTA from another carrier. Wish me luck!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChickenOmelette:
So I started from scratch and the Rogers update just doesn't want to work. Every time it updates, it would show the red HTC error icon. I ended up taking the update off the phone's internal memory, as it could still boot, and pushing it via Method 2 seen in this guide as a reference. After pushing flashing (it took two times), the update finally installed, BUT it STILL GOT STUCK AT THE DAMN BOOT SCREEN.

At this point, I got frustrated and went straight to flashing a custom ROM as per the instructions given here. After long moments of waiting, it finally started installing. Very important to note, but I got stuck at the AROMA installer at the "Please Wait" screen. After pressing the power button and vol up, the got out of that screen and continued to install. Now I have a custom ROM, updated firmware and SENSE 7.0! Amazing. I hope that this post helps you in what you'll have to do next!

I blame Rogers for pushing out s***ty updates. But consider this problem SOLVED.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiladu:
Hi all, I'm going to be sending my phone off for repairs which will hopefully be done under warranty. So I'm looking to return my phone to stock android for the time being. I've done it before but that was on Windows and now I'm switched to Linux. Is there a method through Linux which doesn't include emulating a Windows environment?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
Finally a Linux user! :D

First of all, download FlashTool for linux by going to this link: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads_linux_prev.php Yes you will be using 0.9.18.6 version as a latest change in 0.9.19 wont allow you to properly flash ftf files.

Extract the file downloaded. Extract the extracted file again (its an archive, inside an archive).

You will now have the Flashtool program in your Linux. To run Flashtool, simply run the file "FlashTool" of the extracted files. But hold on, we need udev support so Flashtool can recognise Sony devices

Create an empty file then enter this in:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fce", ATTRS{idProduct}=="*", MODE="0777"

Save it as "51-sony.rules"

Then push (move) it into "/etc/udev/rules.d" with superuser (sudo) permission.

Open terminal

Set correct permission and ownership

sudo chown root:root /etc/udev/rules.d/51-sony.rules && sudo chmod u=rw,go=r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-sony.rules

Restart udev or system for changes to take effect

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiladu:
I've successfully set it up and reflashed my phone back to stock. The problem is I've downloaded a ROM containing Asian apps whereas I would like a full UK official ROM, just to be on the safe side in case they try and void my warranty. Do you know where I could find a UK 4.2/3 (?) stock rom to use? :p:p

Many thanks once again!!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
Flashtool as of 0.9.18.5 has integrated Xperifirm into its program, therefore you can now download the ftf that you want right from your flashtool!

Make sure you have Mono-complete package installed. Assuming you use Debian-based distro, please run

sudo apt-get install mono-complete

Open Flashtool

Click on the XF button (right next to the Plus button)

XperiFirm will be launched

Choose Xperia SP in the sidebar

Choose your Xperia SP model

Find the ROM that you want and click on it

On the right sidebar there will be a single item for you to click it. Click it (under the donate on paypal image)

Confirm download. Please make sure "Unpack automatically" is ticked.

After download complete, close Xperifirm. Flashtool will pack the files downloaded and generates a proper ftf.

Once it completes, you can click on Lightning icon and proceed to flashing the ftf that you have downloaded.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adobrakic:
Hi guys,

I'm coming from an HTC One S. This is a Verizon Note 2, with 4.4.2.

I looked through the How To Root/Rom/Return to Stock thread, but it's not very clear.

I don't see any root options for 4.4.x, it just goes up to 4.3.x in that thread. And I'm not sure what the VRUEMJ9/VRAMC3/VRALL4/etc. mean. Do those just correspond to the Android version?

I found some stuff on Google, but it doesn't come from XDA so I'm not sure how much I can trust this. Is this a good tutorial: http://www.samsungsfour.com/tutoria...-note-2-sch-i605-on-kitkat-4-4-2-verizon.html

--edit--

Never mind, finally found this: http://xdaforums.com/note-2-verizon/general/root-adb-ghettoroot-v0-1-towelroot-port-t2864125

Why isn't this in the thread mentioned above? Makes no sense.

I've never really been big on white phones. I just prefer black. Not sure what I'd have done if white were the only 64 gb option. Guess I would have taken it. Anyways it's a great phone. Much faster than my note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] oneandroidnut:
Asking me or op?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] pool_shark:
I'm still using my Note 2. How are you adjusting to the menu button now being recent apps and no multi window bar?

Would you be willing to spend $2.40 on an app to test adding apps to multi window? If so, the app is MW-PEN app enabler.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] viper31573:
Tbh I never really used multi windows so haven't tried it on note 5 yet. As for menu button I just added the settings icon to my main screen but I expect adjusted OK thus far
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] viper31573:
I would consider the 2.40 if I were to start using multi windows more
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] pool_shark:
Ok. I use it often, mainly banking and excel when paying bills.

I bought the app yesterday in preparation for buying the Note 5, but since my Note 2 is rooted I want to make sure it isn't a false positive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] PrsnlCrcl:
I just bought the app and have been testing it on my Note 5. I was able to add a couple of apps, but it appears to be a no go on any system apps. Are there any specific apps you would like me to test?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] alhadee12:
Yes, sorry the quote didn't take.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] pool_shark:
Great, thank you. No, it will not do system apps, since that requires root.

Please test google sheets, keep, and ES file explorer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] oneandroidnut:
Oh ok and idk I felt the black phone was the norm and really like the sorta pearl tint to the white. Unfortunately if it ends me over I will need a 64 & don't think Verizon has a white one so back to black lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] PrsnlCrcl:
Google Sheets and Keep appear to be a no go. The way the app works is you install the app, tell it you want to add it to multi window and pen options, click on process. Once that is done, you have to uninstall the app and then reinstall it through the MW-PEN app. For those two apps, they error out with the new version that is installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] alhadee12:
The 32GB is fine for me. I have 1TB through One Drive and Windows 10. I like the white as well, it provides a different look.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] pool_shark:
That stinks. I know it re packages the apps after adding the code for multi window. It probably errors because of the signature. Since those are apps that want Google's authentication, they probably need a valid signature. That's why the apps it does convert can't be updated from the play store. You would have to uninstall the converted apps, reinstall them, then convert them again. It's a pain but at least it does work for many apps.

Thank you very much for testing though. I really appreciate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] oneandroidnut:
I gotta have more memory. I'm rocking 32 gb internal on note 4 & 128 gb sdcard. But yes the white is sweet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] PrsnlCrcl:
I am happy to test it out as the app is beneficial for me as well. ES File Explorer did have a pop up window stating it was not an authentic version, but it appears to work after closing that window.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] cmraymond:
I have the 32 Gb white note 5 with Verizon. I am posting this question here as I can't seem to post a new thread. Is it that XDA app needs updating to be able to write a new post on a note 5 or am I missing something?

I had to recently reboot my phone for two different issues, first while on a call I was trying to pull up the dialer keypad to select an option I. E. Dial 1 for account balance, 2 for representative : and nothing happened when I pressed the keypad option. I had to reboot the phone.

Second problem, when I went into the apps section I scrolled right to go to the next page it kept opening an app that my finger swiped across instead of scrolling to the next page. I rebooted and now it's fine. My question is, are these just bugs of adopting a phone so early and that will be fixed by future updates or is it my phone?

Otherwise, I am so in love with this phone. Display is so great compared to my previous Note 2. Any advice would be much appreciated!

It is quite an adjustment with multi app from Note 2 for me. However, you can do it by selecting the recent apps in lower left hand corner and selecting the apps you want to multi window. However I still keep looking for the multi q8ndiw button my Note 2 had by default. I am sure soon enough it will become habit, lol.

I might be interested in testing such an app however. Anything to make it easier.

Is there a new way to get text from a picture with S Note?
[Huawei Ascend P7] ipred:
In the notifications shortcuts ( Data button for example) or inside all the apps ( sms for example ) the long press does not work sometimes and has to be pressed 2nd time to work.

The model is P7-L10

Firmware : B609

Hard reset : Has been done before and after installing B609.

Any solution ; Is there a setting to calibrate maybe the touch sensor ?
[Huawei Ascend P7] XDADEVX:
You have to tap exactly in the middle and hold it bit longer.
[Huawei Ascend P7] ipred:
Thanks for the reply but obviously this does not fix the problem. As i said, the problem occurs and in the sms app when long pressing a message ( big box field, not a little button, so it has nothing to do with where i press ).

Perhaps i must wait for the next update. Maybe it will solve the issue. It would be nice if the phone had a touch calibration in order to reset it ( a previous lg phone that i had, had this feature when entering with secret code into deep phone settings)
[Huawei Ascend P7] XDADEVX:
No u won't have it solved with new update..

That's how's android is unfortunately ..

Or wait for new mate s with new touch technology !!

Hey everyone. I just bought an unlocked, unused (new) galaxy s4 I545 (Verizon) and it wont send out text msgs with my T-mobile sim card. I do receive (inbound) text; but no outbound text msgs. Calls and web surfing work fine.

I'm aware that this is very common problem when trying to go from Verizon to Tmobile with galaxy S4 phones, but i have not been able to find a straightforward solution to this exact issue. Has anyone been able to solve this?

I tried changing all the APN settings. These are the same ones T-mobile had me switch. There is another post where the user discovered his SMS/MMS works when on 3g, but not 4g. The workaround was to Root and then change a setting to use only 3G. My problem is that I cannot get Kingroot or any other app to root my phone. They all fail.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fricci4993fr:
I was able to root my I545 yesterday after months in limbo........ I used Kingroot (not Kingoroot). I tried it 7 times from the phone, and it failed.... then as recommended by many users, I scrolled to the bottom of the kingroot page on phone (after root failed). It said I should use the desktop to root it. Soooooo I set Google translate to "English" and loaded KR (Kingroot) on my desktop.... It WOULD NOT open Kingroot. So (on my desktop) I opened KR WITHOUT english translation. and it was running (on my desktop). Once it was opened, everything was in Chinese (of course). BUT.... it has screenshots that walk you through it (although in Chinese). I attempted to root the phone (by using screenshots only, since I do not know Chinese), and it rooted it first time :) My advice, use Kingroot as described using your DESKTOP computer and cable. That should do it :)

NOW my problem, is I have to flash my VZW S4 (OC1 lollipop), to a t-mobile rom...... so I can have wifi calling with my dedicated number :( Of topic:..... if anyone can do some Q&A with me on that topic I would be appreciate it GREATLY.

Hope that helps ya :)

---------- Post added at 08:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 AM ----------

BTW.... I have the same issue with my text messages (no outbound sms) when I am on 4G. There is a write up on the forums on how to possibly remedy that, but I get hit with.... "MD5 has to many hashes" and I cant go any further... Im still trying to figure out what the hell MD5 is.

ATTENTION to MODS, and OP's:

I am seeing more and more people (like me) whom are coming to XDA because they have a Verizon S4 (whether its kit kat, or Lollipop), and they are using a T mobile sim. I have made an assimilation though.... These people that are coming to XDA have little, to NO root, rom, kernel, experience what so ever (just like me as well). IWe are looking for a fix (I myself want to flash my phone to a T-mobile rom, activate wifi calling, and be able to send/recieve sms continually). Is there anything that anyone could write to address JUST 2 things......... (1 how to get a Verizon S4 with kit kat, and with lollipop to have a t-mobile rom, 2) If somone elects to leave the phone a Verizon phone, a step by step (tailored for noobs like me and many many others) process for fixing the sms issues from having a T-mobile sim... The write up for the second request thats out there is okay, BUT the common problem is a "MD5" issue when you try to download hiddenmenu.apk. Without being able to download the "hiddenmenu" to our phone, we can't even get to step 2 of the "fixing sms issues"...

Please OP's, and mods........ remember in this tense world we live in, remember one thing......... "NOOB LIVES MATTER!"...... C'mon noobs, say it with me! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Quigly:
I don't think the ROM matters. As long as it's a Verizon variant of the phone you won't be able to flash T-Mobile ROM's. This issue is most likely an APN setting issue. Did you ever try flashing the stock OC1 build for the VZW GS4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fricci4993fr:
I have the OTA lollipop update.... it came in two parts. The apn settings are set per tmobile . I can send sms however only when it switches to 3g. The problem is, on lollipop, you cant toggle between 4g and 3g like kit kat would allow. So its hit and miss (much more miss than hit...lol). From the sounds of it, the radio mhz are different between vzw and tmobile regarding 4g. The other dilemma i have is that i live in the mountains of oregon so i am 3 miles outside the network.... therefore i need wifi calling. I have a google voice number, but i need my assigned phone number for work purposes.

If what you say is true regarding a rom specific for vzw, i guess i need a vzw based custom rom, that will allow me wifi calling, and also fix my sms 4g issue...

---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

Speaking of the 3g and 4g thing...... since i have rooted my phone (via kingroot), and installed supersu, am i able to turn off 4g? And if so, how do i do that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Quigly:
No, you need a T-Mobile ROM that has wifi calling enabled. But like I said this is probably more an APN setting issue than any.

Here

This ^^^ is a link to the manual if you think you can find something useful in there. I've used like 20 apps that all claim they can Toggle LTE data but I've yet to find one the doesn't just bring me right back to the settings of the phone. I've heard rumors about an app that's $1 on the play store that can do it for the GS4 but I can't confirm that. It seems as though you need some special settings provided by the service provider in the ROM that allows for such changes. I might recommend looking into whether you can flash a T-Mobile ROM to the VZW variant.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fricci4993fr:
Thanks for the link for the manual. :) I just checked the APN settings, and they are where they need to be. There are only two different settings/entries that i have found for mmsc, and both leave me with this problem. I have researched, and can find a fix for it if i had jelly bean, or kit kat..... but i have lollipop :(

I am searching to see if this vzw phone will take a tmobile rom (or a variant). If it will, than i might be in business. Does anybody know if i can roll this back to kit kat, or jellybean since i am now rooted?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Quigly:
Unfortunately once the GS4 is on the 5.0 build the phone's bootloader does not support downgrading-I've tried. I, like you, have a the lollipop build (OC1) on my S4 and I really wish I had not taking that update. Lost story short it was an accident I shan't repeat.

I also ran into a wall after taking my wife s4 i545 from Verizon to T mobile. I finally got everything working. the phone is on OF1 so there's a lot of things you need to do they are all here but scattered and very hard to find. you need to root with wondershare mobilego. then you have to odin flash an OC1 kernel then change the settings to the T mobile settings then get this app called Advance signal status and change the defaul text message number from the verizon to the t mobile number and the mobile networks there too(you want GSM auto). after all that you'll be on 3g or H+ for your data but its not too bad and everything else works great including text. total time about 1 hour but just putting things together is where your time goes. hope it helps

Note if your T-Mobile SIM used to be in an iPhone

I was having crazy trouble getting my SMS and MMS working with a stock Verizon Samsung S4 (SICH-545) ROM. I believe most of the problems I had were due to the fact that I was previously using an iPhone4 as my T-Mobile device. After searching through the internet and finding the proper settings for T-Mobile APN, I was able to quickly get phone calls and 4G data working. However, there were some things that took a while to get working. Initially, I could receive SMS, but not send SMS, nor send/receive MMS. It's now working and here's what needed to be done:

Remove the phone from iMessage (allowed sending of SMS)

Remove the phone from iCloud (allowed sending/receipt of MMS)

Lastly, to ensure you get Voicemail access, change the Voicemail number in your Settings. To get directly to VoiceMail with T-Mobile, dial '123'. There's a different number for accessing from a different phone, but this works directly from your T-Mo phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fix4tv:
I did not get a chance to read all of the responses on this thread, however, I can probably help resolve if the answer is not already embedded in this thread.

I have successfully rooted a Verizon SCH-I545 with stock Verizon ROM and got SMS/MMS to work. Unfortunately, I have only been successful through locking out LTE. If you want more detail please IM me. Otherwise, here is a quick overview:

1. Root SCH-I545 (There are a handful of methods but Wondershare MobileGO seems to do it for me.)

2. Update APN’s to T-Mobile (fast.tmobile.com)

3. Download Advanced Signal Status. Change Data Signal to lock GSM/CDMA (PRL)

4. Reboot and Enjoy

Worked on several handsets I have flashed.

NOTE: A simpler method would be to flash ALBE95_S6 using Flash Fire then there is no need to deal with locking your data signal through Advanced Signal Status, just use the default Network Settings within the ROM.

Hope this helps.
