[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NBK_BOBMAN:
Ive had my edge s6 (sm-g925f) for about 3 months without any issues.

But this week i found that my phone would not connect to my network.

Ive searched and searched for answers, and found nothing to fix my problem.

It was ROOTED up to this happening, but due to me trying everything, including reflashing the stock 5.1.1 touchwiz.

I've ran a 'Checkmend' just incase, which come back fine too, the IMEI and baseband and model number are all in check in the device settings. The only things out of the norm are the 'phone number' showing '00000000000' and under 'network' it shows 'unknown' under the 'simcard status' part of the settings.

The sim works fine in my other phone and in my partners phone. But the same problem happens when i put her sim in the s6.

I can search for networks manually and even click on them, but then get a error saying 'unable to connect, try later'.

When not trying anything and with a sim in the phone it says 'emergency calls only' .

It could be a faulty sim card slot but surly i wouldnt be able to search for networks if this was the case?

My main cause i think it could be, is that the EFS folder is corrupt, but wouldnt the IMEI number be a false one in the settings and /or the baseband wouldnt show correctly, but it all does. And i dont have a backup of the EFS to be able to restore it. So im basically on my legs with this phone before i turn it into a £500 glass toaster.

Any help would be amazing.

Thanks.

Did you check to see if your IMEI is blacklisted?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NBK_BOBMAN:
I put in my first post that i did a 'check mend' that come back clean. and also i put my partners sim in my phone to make sure. and it also come back with the same problem.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4memuji:
Try this ...

Settings > Mobile Networks > Network Mode > GSM Only

and restart your phone ...
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NBK_BOBMAN:
I've tried every combination of network setting and option. As well as little trick's that are around. Like hold this for 2 seconds then this and this for 20. And so on.

If a reflash hasn't sorted it I'm sure changing a setting isnt going to do anything.

I've tried it again just to make sure but still stuck in emergency only.

To anyone that still thinks the phone is blacklisted even though I ran a checkmend, it would still let me connect to the data network at least still on a blacklisted phone. I can't even do this. The sim works fine in my other phone and in my partners phone.

I think it's something to do with the modem folder or EFS but I don't have a back up to restore.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NBK_BOBMAN:
Yes mate. Odin. 3.10.

An incorrect baseband was my original diagnosis but them this couldnt be the case as the phone was working fine for 3 months on the same ROM it randomly stopped connecting on . If I had flashed another, then this problem happened that I would know that was it. But the fact I've reflashed it after the problem was already there seems to me that it's something deeper than just the Firmware.

Thanks for replying though.

I'm new to the whole Hermes upgrading scene - but have read just about every forum thread and post on upgrading. I'm trying to follow this process:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=312943&highlight=vista

I chose to upgrade via SD card, since my windows box is a vista machine and I primarily use my mac day to day. Here's the problem I'm having - when I try to flash HardSPL V7 via the SD card (using the filename hermimg.nbh in the root of the SD card), it starts to say "loading" in bootloader mode, but then flashes up "00068002" in red at the top of the screen, and then continues into normal 3 color bootloader mode.

When I try to do the flash from vista with RUU (after following the guides showing how to downgrade to the XP drivers), I get a 262 error, and when I look in RUU.log, I see the following:

00:24:27:674 [msg] : Version : [5.10 - 20060412].

Same exact thing happens when I try to flash anything else (like a radio rom, or an OS rom).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Did you format your SD Card in Fat32?

The most common problem when flashing from card is a wrong formated card.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] theripper:
yes, i formatted it Fat32 and also did a chkdsk on it.

Did someone get the solution for this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] koorosh_bsboys:
Why you people do not search before making posts?????!!!!!!

Here is what u asking for :

1. Format your SD card with FAT32.

2. Download Hermes SIM CID Unlock v3a.

3. Copy SSPL-HERM to your SD card.

4. Extract the RUU_HERM_Unlock_v3a.

5. copy HermesUnlocker_HardSPL.nbh to SD card.

6. Rename it to HERMIMG.nbh.

7. put the SD card into the device and run sspl.exe.

8. the device enters the bootloader and ...

I have problem flashing using Sandisk 1GB, formatted FAT32, .nbh in place, after tri color bootloader nothing happen, no 'Loading'. Anybody experience this problem?

When I use micro SD 256 MB (from Nokia), no problem at all, flashing process Completed.

Is SD capacity (too big) become an issue or is this bad SD card..?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] XtreMe_G:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
argupas, did you rename the .nbh file to "hermimg.nbh? It MUST be renamed to this for sd method to work. cheers.....:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] argupas:
I already rename .nbh to HERMIMG.nbh.

I think it was SD card problem (1 GB Sandisk, I suspect a fake one), because I am now using 512 MB V-gen, no problem for flashing.

Thx.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ralos:
:eek:

I dont understand 7th step. Now my device hang in "Windows Mobile" screen, so how can I run sspl.exe. And also if enter the bootloader, I can press Power+OK+soft reset. Is this right for enter bootloader or i must run sspl.exe?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
you have to run SSPL.exe from the file explorer. It has to be run from the PHONE memory, NOT the sd card.

Try a hard reset, both soft keys and reset with stylus. Hold all buttons until it asks if you wish to reset to factory (or something like that, you get the idea). Push "r" on slideout keyboard then "space"key. you now have to go through the alignment and everything again.

Even if you use this method, make sure you install Hard SPL V7. It is safer than anything else. You should also have checked what radio rom you were using as it has now been downgraded to 1.116.x.x, this may cause you some trouble later too.

Use the sd card method to fix this as it appears safer than using the pc. Just make sure you have got Hard SPL installed and have a charged battery. DON'T just think you can put it on the charger while flashing AS IT DOESN'T CHARGE...

Cheers...:D

Sorry to replay this thread but i had a situation like that.

I have a Hermes, with the pin of the USB that makes connection to PC broken... So my only Shot to update the ppc is from SD. The rom i have is one of 1st realeses of hermes wm6.5, so that stucks all the time, even i hard reset it...

When i try to update something from SD i cant because gives me that error 000602... Any idea? So i have to unlock the cid, but if i cant access to the windows what i must do?

If i hard reset it, it enter in windows, but 2 ou 3 seconds that stuck :S
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
If you can't get into windows to run SSPL.exe to install Hard SPL & your USB is stuffed so you can't connect to PC then you have a brick... If you had Hard SPL installed 1st then you wouldn't be in this situation.

Sorry, you have a brick unless you fix the USB connector. :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] gajodafeira:
Ok, but if i fix the usb... updating by bootloader mode and usb, i will not get the error 00068002?

Not if you install Hard SPL 1st...

same me too,

My device Stuck on bootloader, Why can I run sspl.exe?

Need Help

SOLVED:::::: sorry :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mikendawn:
First off, reflash your device with your phones original carriers ROM. Your phone will accept it. It sounds like you didn't SUPERCID your phone first, and didn't HARDSPL your phone.

Make sure you HARDSPL then SUPERCID your phone FIRST!

Download your phone's original carriers ROM and flash that via SD card to your device. That should return it back to "factory" state, and get it so that you can once again try to HARDSPL and SUPERCID your phone.

Hope this helps,

Cheers
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
Supercid then Hard SPL... If you run the V3a unlocker it flashes your SPL to 1.40... Hard SPl V7 is the latest and greatest. Technically you shouldn't need to supercid your Hermes after Hard SPLing it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] 3351405372:
Hi

your instruction are really complete and clear but . . .

but my TyTn to day has a problem (better I have a problem!!)

After breaking the flash of a new ROM (it was corrupted) it either stays in bootloader mode (IPL 1.01 SPL 2.03) or,after few seconds from booting and displaying all data like

M 05 R 1.56.70.11

S 04 G 32.89.7020.20H

B 06 D 3.57

turns the display full white, make a "ding" and never enter into W.M. 6.5. Hence, how can I launch HERMES-SPL.exe ???

Other attempts to flash from PC through:

- RUUWrapper provide up-date error for missed USB connection

- <ROM>. exe the flash starts but stops after few second when the status bar, on the PDA reach 1%.

So, it became a brick?? There is any chance to retrive it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mikendawn:
Hey bud, if you hold the POWER BUTTON and the CAMERA button down and hit the RESET button, do you get a tricolour screen?

If so, then your phone is not bricked, just has a failed ROM on it.

You can flash via SD card onto your phone, and to do so, download the rom for your network, the one that originally came with your phone, onto your phone. when you put it on the SD card, make sure you name it HERMIMG.nbh. This'll allow you to flash via SD. put the card in, reset to the tricolour screen, and then follow the instructions for flashing.

Once this is done, you can then attempt again to SuperCID your phone.

Cheers!

That's pretty vital information that has been left unsaid in all the posts I saw...

The sspl has to be run from the phone memory NOT the SD card?

Thank you so much...I boot from SSPL that i saved on SD card along with the renamed folder but it just stays in Dee's bootloader and nothing more. That maybe the solution now...

There is a guy that posted a video on YouTube and hell on earth if he isn't stoned or brain dead as he bundles his way through the explanation. Thank you for clarifying it.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harrisyw:
I found the instructions and lack of links a bit confusing, so this is exactly what I did in order to get V4A working.

1. I downloaded busybox and went through the install process using this version.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en

2. Reboot

3. I flashed the LolliViper.zip from this link in TWRP. http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/discussion-viper4android-t2543796

4. I attempted to install the driver but it crashed.

5. Reboot

6. Attempted to install the driver, it hangs on the screen, but leave it and it will say that it installed.

7. Reboot.

8. Use a root file explorer, such as ES Explorer with the root explorer setting checked, to move "audio_effects.conf" out of /system/vendor/etc

9. Reboot and it will work.

Note, when using this zip, I did not have to do anything with SELinux or put it in permissive mode. Also, I did not do anything with MusicFX. I think this zip might disable it automatically.

Hope this helps!

Well by rebooting, the Stericson BusyBox worked. At least with ES File Explorer, I had to go manually enable root file explorer mode in order to move the audio_effects file. The other BusyBox may be fine, I just know that the Stericson one has been a long-time standard in the root community.

I can't even get Viper4Android to install properly. Tried stericsons busybox and the one linked here, both versions of busybox say it's installed but Viper4Android fails to install the driver and says Busybox isn't installed properly. Previously it just said it installed and then asks for install again every time I open it. I've been using Viper4Android since 2013 on my Nexus 5 so the fact that I can't get it working on the 5x is really annoying. I think the issue is that /system is read-only and I can't seem to get it to read-write. I tried uninstalling Busybox to reinstall but it just tells me it's still installed after uninstall.
