Hi,you did all wipe from custom recovery before reinstalling the stock firmware?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FixB:
Unfortunately, no :(

I did not do anything before trying to flash the stock firmware :'
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piombo71:
Try and see if it works!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FixB:
Thanks: I would... but I can't access recovery mode. I can only go into Download mode (recovery go to the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..." screen :()
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FixB:

What you're trying to flash firmware 4.4.2 i hope, because if you're trying to flash a 4.3 is impossible the downgrade to do so because of Knox!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FixB:
I was trying 4.4.2.... Does it matter if I was on a 5.x ROM?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piombo71:
Did you try a different USB cable or different Odin version?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FixB:
Yes, I tried several USB cables and USB ports and PCs and about 10 different Oding version :(

I'm starting to think it's hopeless :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FixB:
I flashed CWP recovery from here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2000138

And it worked (at least Odin finished saying it was flashed ok). But if I try to go into recovery, I now get a 'Downloading' screen. When going to download mode, I have the normal screen, with a number of custom binary download increased by 1.

Anyone could advise on next steps I should try?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FixB:
I managed to get back TWRP v2.8.7.0.

What would be the next steps to try and revert to the stock firmware?? Thanks!!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FixB:
I used TWRP to reset and wipe everything, then ODIN to flash stock firmware.... And everything is now fine :) I've got the phone working perfectly with stock firmware!

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mswlogo:
Strange, I've "upgraded" my M9 to a G4.

Now when my wife sends me a text message from her Bad Boys M8 I see her phone number listed on every text message. I thought the problem was the G4.

Turns out the problem is with the M8 and M9.

M8 always sends a Call Back number. There is an option to shut it off, but If you shut the option off or wipe out the call back number in the HTC Messenger app, it puts it right back.

The M9 never displayed it (maybe it's an option to filter out). But G4 always shows it, if it's there.

Everyone else sending me messages has no call back. Only the M8, which explicitly says to send it and cannot be defeated. And the M9 quietly hides it even when you want it.
[OnePlus 2 General] Synyster06Gates:
So I guess this is good news and bad news for T-Mobile users. The OnePlus 2 supports band 12. Awesome, right? Not quite. They did not get the T-Mobile VoLTE certification, so now those of us with T-Mobile face an issue. If you are in an area where band 12 is the strongest signal, you will likely not be able to receive/send calls or text because there is no VoLTE.

With that said - is there any way to "disable" a network band yourself in the software?
[OnePlus 2 General] alhadee12:
I may cancel my order since it hasn't shipped.
[OnePlus 2 General] alquimista:
The device will switch to H or H+ for voice calls even if LTE is the strongest. Its not really a setback, just an oddity.
[OnePlus 2 General] Synyster06Gates:
No - it won't. According to multiple posters on the OnePlus forum, because the phone senses band 12 connectivity, it will not try and fall back. That's why T-Mobile asked the companies who did not meet their band 12 certification to disable the band - at least temporarily.

"This issue that came up with Moto E/G, was that phones with Band 12 support, but not VoLTE certification for that band. It made the phone look like it had service, but wasn't able to re-route the band to receive the call. Therefore, no calls/emergency calls were able to be made. For this reason, T-Mobile started requiring the VoLTE certification or the removal of the Band 12 support. "

Unfortunately since mine shipped (should be here today, actually) I can't do that. I do already have a buyer lined up for it and my Moto X Pure should be here today as well. I REALLY wanted the OP2 though so I'm disappointed.
[OnePlus 2 General] AnalogXDA:
Is there still no news on whether the OPT will get T-Mobile VoLTE with a software update, apart from the vague "yeah maybes" that were thrown around by Oneplus a few months ago?
[OnePlus 2 General] alhadee12:
I'm thinking about getting the Pure, but I may just hold off since there's problems with this device and TMO.
[OnePlus 2 General] Synyster06Gates:
Motorola is at least coming out with a VoLTE setting and bringing band 12 back. They've confirmed that multiple times on the forums. OnePlus hasn't addressed it at all since a Reddit AMA with a vague answer. The issue wouldn't be so bad if it was disabled - but since it's not disabled, there will be issues with T-Mobile.
[OnePlus 2 General] alhadee12:
Can't cancel mine now, it's processed for shipping.
[OnePlus 2 General] basscheck12:
Are you sure about this? I have been reading up on this issue (including your discussion on the OnePlus forum) and most indications are that the device will fall back unless there is no available connection other than band 12. As written here:

"A Motorola employee explained recently that band 12 was removed from the Moto E (2015) at T-Mobile’s request over concerns that it could show that it has an LTE signal,

but if all that it has is band 12

, it couldn’t actually complete a call since it has no VoLTE support. While T-Mobile hasn’t officially commented on this matter, T-Mo spoke with Android Police off the record and said that any device on its network with band 12 also needs to support VoLTE and E911. Without VoLTE, band 12 phones on T-Mo are unable to make a call if they don’t have any other T-Mo service to fall back to, and they won’t know to roam onto another carrier’s network. Removing band 12 altogether eliminates this issue."

Not trying to argue with you or prove you wrong just trying to get some clarity on this issue while I still have time to cancel my order if need be.

It would be nice if someone with a OP2 on T-Mobile in an area with band 12 could comment.

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

Also, this:

Due to lack of VoLTE support you won't be able to place and receive calls including 911 calls in some buildings and some outdoor areas where 2G GSM and 3G HSPA+ (marketed by T-Mobile as "4G") signal is too weak or non-existent while LTE band 12 is available. You will still have data connection and you can receive and place non-emergency calls via Google Hangouts app (using Google Voice number). To place an emergency call you will have to either move outdoors where 2G or 3G signal is available or disable LTE to make your phone roam on another GSM network.
[OnePlus 2 General] Synyster06Gates:
That's pretty much how I am. Though my OP2 showed up and I ended up selling it. I went with the Moto X Pure to be sure. Disappointed, I REALLY wanted the OP2 :(
[OnePlus 2 General] ArkAngel06:
I have a OnePlus 2, and T-Mobile, but I'm unsure of how to check if my area has band 12....I went to this site here...

http://www.spectrumgateway.com/t-mobile-700a-spectrum

And it looks like I do? But I don't really understand the map. I am in Tampa, FL.

I just got the phone today, but so far it seems to be fully functional.
[OnePlus 2 General] basscheck12:
Thanks for posting, you can install this app. I've read you can also enter *#*#3282#*#* into the dialer and then tap LTE Engineering, but I can't get that to work on my OPO.

Thanks again
[OnePlus 2 General] anips:
I can confirm that the Oneplus Two on T-mobile when on Band 12 LTE will drop to H or H+ when a call comes in if you have reception on those. I'm guessing it will also drop to Edge/GSM if a call comes in and that's the only reception you have for voice. I just did it at work right now where I'm getting Band 12 LTE. I called my cell from my work phone and the status bar dropped to H. I'm in the Los Angeles Metro area.
[OnePlus 2 General] ArkAngel06:
Also confirming. After downloading that LTE Discovery app, it said that I was on Band 12. I called myself from my home phone, the connection dropped from LTE to 3G and the call came in.
[OnePlus 2 General] alquimista:
That's what I said was gonna happen. Reward please!! I take payments in cookies.
[OnePlus 2 General] hamzer11:
I can confirm as well. No problems with T-Mobile and OP2. Someone buy the man a cookie.
[OnePlus 2 General] acidreian:
I have a USA Oneplus 2 Im using T-mobile and i haven't had a single issue with the phone and it works for me on LTE band

my Signal is great in California.
[OnePlus 2 General] Mikito1976:
No problem here in Orlando, Florida.
[OnePlus 2 General] ArkAngel06:
So...this post from a similar thread in the OnePlus forums made a lot more sense to me than anything else I've read about this.

NaterTots says:

TLDR: if there is another band available, you're fine, if not, you won't get texts or calls until there is.
[OnePlus 2 General] rizocreations:
No problem here with my oneplus 2 in chicago, IL. LTE works great
[OnePlus 2 General] alquimista:
The OnePlus One wouldn't have worked in an area that only had band 12 either. I have yet to find an area of the US that only has band 12 for T-Mobile.

I've got a OnePlus One and a OnePlus Two now and both work everywhere I've been up and down the West Coast of the US.
[OnePlus 2 General] GN7S:
I have been traveling all over the US West to East even to Texas and I use T-Mobile. My phone is a OPO and it always drops to H+ from LTE when I am making calls in certain locations. Sometimes even to Edge when making calls. Don't know if this information will help anyone but thought I would mention it.
[OnePlus 2 General] NaterTots:
I can confirm that the Op2 DOES NOT do VoLTE over band 12. I was in an area that always had marginal edge coverage with the Opo and with the Op2 I pick up band 12 lte since it travels better than the other Tmo bands.

Today while connected to LTE I couldn't make a call or receive any texts. Had great data though.

I really hope this is just a software issue. If it's hardware I'll never buy from Oneplus again since the only had one LTE for Tmo on the Opo and if band 12 gets disabled they'll only have 2 bands covered.
[OnePlus 2 General] alquimista:
Just to clarify, you were in an area that only had band 12 LTE? Can you give an approximation of where this was?

I'm just really curious, cause I haven't come across an area that only has band 12.

I haven't played with QPST in a donkeys age, but maybe someone could ask [MENTION=4258980]devilsshadow[/MENTION] if a hack like this can lock, instead of unlock, band 12 on the OPT?

I dunno the bloke meself or I'd ask, also I just got my OPT set the way I want it and I don't want to mess about and **** it up.

[OnePlus 2 General] NaterTots:
Yes my only connection was on band 12.

If you look up info about band 12 which is 700mhz you'll see that it travels further and penetrates better than both hands 2&4.

So, where I was has very spotty band 2 and now I see it has band 12. I had 2 bars of LTE and couldn't make a call or send a text.

If you look at the coverage maps for CT you'll see that there are a lot of holes in the coverage.
[OnePlus 2 General] Wiltatu:
TMO Band 12 Only is real

I actually live in a "12 only" zone. I'm in eastern Michigan about an hour and a half north of Detroit. I've lived here nearly 5 years and was disappointed that the only thing working here was AT&T or their MVNOs. I've gone with Cricket for a couple years now because they were more affordable than the big A. A few weeks ago I got an email saying that T-Mobile might be available in my area and trying to sell me an iCrap. I checked the coverage and low-n-behold----I get TMO LTE coverage, YYEESSSSSSS!!!!!! I immediately convinced the wife and we set it up to order everything about 5 days before the end of billing cycle so we could port #s.

New Sims arrived today, I inserted into my OnePlus One, hit power and braced myself for civilized speeds. WOH, WOH, Who.... Why does my phone continuously say roaming????? I call 611, ask "what's going on? your coverage map says I'm good???......... I'm then told that the only service in my area is 700mhz and if I want compatibility I'll have to buy a new phone (they had several to offer). As it turns out, TMO owns all rights to the bandwidth and is requiring manufacturers to go through some rigorous certification process to gain access to full VoLTE bandwidth, access which at present tense requires T-Mobile branding.... Wah.. Wah, Waaaahhhhh.....

I have a signal booster on the way, hoping to pick up a smidgen of band 4, if not then I will likely invoke the dissatisfaction timeframe agreement.

Lesson learned. BAND 12 ONLY DOES EXIST AND IT'S MY PERSONAL HELL!

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

Now that we've all been entertained by my fabulous writing skills and adventurous story into the seemy underbelly of TMO sales tactics.

Does anyone know of any phones out right now that are fully compatible with band 12 VoLTE and come in unlocked models??? and preferably well compatible with CM? I'd love a CM experience like my OPO when it releases for Marshmallow.

I realize TMO has a bunch of branded ones, but I want unlocked, sans bloatware, sans branding, etc....??????
[OnePlus 2 General] :
On a tangent: With more phones being sold directly to end users by device manufacturers (not coming through carriers), would it push T-mobile to get more aggressive in certifying new devices for VoLTE?

With the limited options (compared to almost unlimited options among unlocked phones) with T-mobile, how can the satisfy the growing needs of end users. For all the initiatives T-mobile is taking to liberate customers from the clutches of contract based carriers, this is a different form of control T-mobile is trying to impose.

If this bully tactics continue, I will move either to Cricket wireless or Consumer wireless over ATT MVNO. I am hoping that this is a transient phase that T-mobile will iron out.
[OnePlus 2 General] kharrigan:
Interesting thread. Yes, if the stars and planets line up, the phone won't work. There seems to be several alternatives for this: find a better signal, wait for a software update, or use the second SIM for non-Tmobile service. Seems like there are enough alternatives that this shouldn't be as much of a problem as others are making it appear to be.
[OnePlus 2 General] flyer_andy:
I'd suggest a Nexus 6 (last year's model) - many Nexus 6 6.0 Marshmallow ROMs work perfectly with band 12 and VoLTE (and WiFi calling too)...plus they've become reasonably cheap with the release of the 5X and 6P.

With the N6 I've made calls and gotten downloads over T-Mobile band 12 in areas where even Verizon has only a faint 1x signal (bordering on no Verizon service at all actually...I was in the mountains northeast of Steamboat Springs at the time)...trust me...T-Mo band 12 can be awesome with the 2014 Nexus 6. It started out as a so-so phone when it was released but with 6.0 it's outstanding IMO.
[OnePlus 2 General] jmtjr278:
How would you compare it to our op2? It seems much bigger in comparison. Probably too big with a not as good camera. Accurate? Any other observations? Thanks for the input.
[OnePlus 2 General] flyer_andy:
Yeah the Nexus is pretty huge compared to most phones but I came to like it since it has the QHD display...made reading the web so easy and was great for looking at maps and other types of pdfs that I sometimes have to look at. It's pretty much 0.5 inches larger in size both in height and width when compared with the OP2, looking at both on my desk. So honestly, it's not *too* much bigger than the OP2...and I never really had an issue with it, honestly...

The Nexus 6 camera is definitely inferior to the OP2 as well, though with some post processing I still got some really nice shots...but yes the N6 has a mediocre camera by 2015 standards...you're definitely right...and the OP2 has a pretty good one.

But yeah IMO the Nexus is better than the OP2 on display, connectivity (big time! The N6 has CDMA and GSM, VoLTE, NFC, WiFi calling, and just about every LTE band you could want), and software (just my opinion...Oxygen OS is *very* buggy...and can be frustrating as some apps just don't seem to work right...Hangouts can't even make a speakerphone call with the OP2 and I think Skype has issues too). There also seems to be way more developers compiling ROMs and mods for the N6 in case that's something one is into...it's pretty barren in the OP2 forum with respect to development when compared with the Nexus 6's vibrant development community.

Also, OnePlus seems real sluggish with software updates as we don't have Marshmallow and OP isn't really giving any indication as to when that'll happen from what I've read.

The OP2 has a better camera and the fingerprint scanner is nice...but the lack of NFC is a big bummer assuming one day we can get AndroidPay to work on rooted devices...

The OP2 is a nice phone but for me the only real feature that keeps me using it instead of the Nexus 6 is the dual SIM...if the Nexus had dual SIM I'd be back on it in a heartbeat...I was super bummed that the Nexus 6P and 5X just released didn't have dual SIM either...seems like an incredibly weird decision on Google's part considering that the radio in the Nexuses can connect to literally every carrier. Ugh. I'm sure they have their reasons though...and admittedly dual-SIM isn't really something most Americans even know about.

Anyway, I hope nothing I've said there is incorrect but notwithstanding the dual-SIM issue I think the Nexus 6 is a better phone than the OP2...the OP2 feels a bit like a nice hardware package that has shoddy software IMO. It's nice and all but just feels amateur-hour to me most of the time. I still like it well enough though, and still think all the phones are pretty amazing considering this all would have been Sci-Fi material not more than 15 years ago...so I don't want to bash the OP2 - it's still an amazing device in spite of its shortcomings...and if the software improves and VoLTE/WiFi calling is added I may end up with a different opinion! Maybe I just have a soft-spot for Nexuses...lol not sure.

So currently my note 3 is running android 4.3, has root, and I believe has an unlocked boot-loader. Otherwise stock Rom and Recovery.

My question is what can or can't I do to update my phone to a newer version of android while maintaining root.

On a side note anyone know if newer android versions improve BLE support? It's practically non-existent on 4.3

That's not backup folder that taking up your space.

Are you on TWRP ? Make a backup of your internal storage data like pictures, musics & etc to PC.

In TWRP select Wipe - Format data - type "yes"

Reboot to recovery again then install your ROM zip if you're on custom ROM

Or copy back your backup and restore that.

Hey All:

I'd like to create a shortcut to the Screen Rotate function for when I want to use my GPS software in Landscape mode.

You know - something shorter than doing a START > SETTINGS > SYSTEM > SCREEN.

Thoughts? Can't seem to find what controls it.

I know there is a rotation shortcut in the HTC Homeplug today screen addin - but I don't want to use that otherwise and just want to pop a shortcut into iLauncher.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] rijc99:
You can go to button settings and assign a hard button to the rotate screen function.

Of course this assumes you are willing to give up a hard button... not sure if you are from reading your post.

Have you looked at Resco Explorer? I know Resco Explorer allows you to create start menu shortcuts. Maybe you can just create a shortcut of the Rotate screen exe.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] letsgoflyers81:
You can try AE Button Plus. It allows you to map virtually any program or function to a hard button. And you can map several things to one button because you can map to single, double, triple, and long press. I have it set to double pressing the left soft key will switch to landscape mode.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Shohan:

Registry Change

I have been looking to do the same thing for some time now. i found that it's a registry value so my thinking is that it must be possible to create a script or app that can change this value but i have yet to find one.

the reg key and values are:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION]

Change the Value of "Angle" to the

dword:00000000 or dword:00000360 -> Portrait Mode

dword:00000090 -> Landscape(Right-Handed)

dword:00000180 -> Portrait Up-side Down

dword:00000270 -> Landscape (Left-Handed)

hopefully someone can come up with something from this. I'm using a touch btw but i think the reg values should be universal.
