[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthSwede:
Verizon Note 4 to T-Mobile Note 4

I've inherited a Verizon Note 4 (SM-N910V) Retail from a grandfather who can no longer see to use it. He was on Verizon (obviously) and I am using T-Mobile. I was going to use this as my daily driver to replace my Honor 5X. Obviously, the Note 4 is a better phone and the 5X doesn't really work all that well with T-Mo's features anyways.

I've tried just inserting the sim and adding the T-Mo APN, but I can only get phone service in the Akron, Ohio area, no data. According to GSMArena here https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_4_(usa)-6758.php the phone should have Band 12 (which is supposed to be T-Mo's 4G in my area).

My goal here is two-fold: to fix the bootloader to allow rooting and remove the Verizon and Samsung bloatware, and then flash this ROM: https://xdaforums.com/note5/general/romtesting-t3380186 The Resurrection Remix ROM 5.6.8. This would "essentially" make the phone a T-Mobile phone and is supposed to allow their Wi-Fi calling feature.

The Note 4 phone I have is running Android 6.0.1, baseband N910VVRU2CQ12, and Kernal v. 3.10.40 from Sep 4, 2017.

The question is: What is the safest and easiest way to root this thing, and has anyone here used the Rez Remix T-Mobile ROM?

I've been reading through many threads that explain the process:

Flash a custom ROM and add/edit the TMO APN settings....

Verizon phones cannot use Band 12...BTW....

I've been trying for many months to see if Band 12 could be enabled, but no success.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] no.human.being:
Hey guys!

I have flashed my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (i9350) with CM-12.1-20160117-NIGHTLY. I first installed the new CM recovery (with the same build date) via Fastboot, wiped Cache (but not Dalvik Cache, since the new Recovery had no option for this).

My device was then stuck in some sort of "bootloop". It gets to the "Android is updating ..." screen, where it says it compiles "app X of Y", then reboots and starts over again.

So I booted the device back into the bootloader, flashed back the old CM recovery (with build date 2016-11-17) via Fastboot, formatted System, Cache and wiped Dalvik Cache, then installed the old ROM only to find it being stuck in a bootloop too with the AMOLED display increasing and decreasing in brightness, but the ROM's not getting anywhere (not even to the point where it says "Android is updating ..." - it's just showing the boot animation and the screen "goes mad").

So I went back to the "old" CM recovery, formatted System, Cache, wiped Dalvik Cache, rebooted to bootloader, flashed the "new" CM recovery via Fastboot, flashed the "new" ROM again, wiped Cache again with the "new" Recovery ("new" recovery does not offer to format System or wipe Dalvik Cache, which is why I did it with the "old"), again "Android is updating ..." loops.

Now since System, Cache and Dalvik-Cache are basically "clean", I'm afraid that Data might be corrupt and thus my data on the phone might indeed be lost. (I have backups, but they are four months old.) Formatting Data might make the device bootable again, but I'd really like to do some sort of "data recovery". I mean "normally" flashing a ROM doesn't corrupt your data partition, right?

I don't know how to access the data partition though, since the device won't boot. The recoveries I have unfortunately don't allow ADB access either. Any chance? Or should I hit "wipe data / factory reset" and kiss the data goodbye? (Like I said, it's not "much" that will be lost, though I'd really like to keep it if it's "somehow" possible.)

Thanks a lot for your advice!

EDIT: I managed to gain MTP and ADB (root) access by booting into TWRP via Fastboot.

I now backed up the entire MTP storage, as well as the following:

- "/data/data/com.threema.app"

- "/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony"

- "/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts"

- "/data/data/com.android.providers.userdictionary"

Will this be sufficient to get my SMS, contacts (stored on phone), custom dictionary (for swipe recognition) and Threema messages back?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vortex-5:
TWRP has a mount as MTP functionality that will allow you to access data.

You can also use adb while you're in fastboot adb pull allows you to pull anything as long as you have the path so adb pull /data should be able to pull those contents.

For me TWRP mount as MTP is a much easier and reliable option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] no.human.being:
Thanks! I managed to pull off "/data" using TWRP, wipe "/data", restore files selectively. Works, even on the new nightly, which now runs like a charm.

Do you have an idea, why CWM does not support ADB access? I remember that it used to support it some years ago.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] kellytoronto:
I know that it's been a common theme to most, if not all, WM6 ROMs so far that you can't use password lock or it will be "forgotten" if you reboot. I asked in the latest Gullum ROM thread if it was fixed and was informed that it was. So, I flashed and setup my jamin again, but first time rebooting after the plane lands, it's locked again!

I have, therefore, a question - are there any ROMs at all that do not have this issue. If not, is it considered "unfixable"? My company requires via an exchange policy that passwords be used. If there are no such ROMs on the way, I guess it's back to WM5....
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] hawhill:
I had problems with this issue, too. I am forced to have my device PIN-locked by MS Exchange policies, and it even makes some sense to have it locked.

The problems seem to be an issue with registry corruption. I never had the problem again after following one simple rule after flashing WM6: Do a clean reboot after setting up the PIN lock, i.e. close all open applications, then use software or deep-off to "power-cycle" the device. If the PIN works, try a hard reset. If that works, you can further setup and configure the device.

This is, however, just personal experience, not backed by hard proofs.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] buggie:
Password lost

It works but in case the machine goes totally out of batteries or either you have to make a soft reset because it doesn´t respond the password is not recognized afterwards.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] kellytoronto:
So I guess the answer is really that I'm SOL.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
I guess.... BTW what does SOL means..? :o :o
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] kellytoronto:
Something or other Out of Luck.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] joedm:
try this

well there is a solution that I have used.

I used a cab from zenyee.com "Stay Unlock" which has been successful at unlocking and keeping my wm6 device unlocked.

To be sure, after installing this cab, I go into my lock settings and uncheck the "prompt if device unused for..." checkbox.

Whenever the exchange server pushes the policy out to my device I just get a notice saying that the exchange server tried to do this. However no policy is applied.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] GamerOnOne:
Update is due to come out next month, will you be upgrading?

Pros:

New system

Chances are less bugs than lolipop

Cons:

Lose root

May now be able to root with the old lollipop kernel

What do you think?

I personally think that we will still have access to install twrp and flash su zip for root without a custom kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] benny3:
We will be able to root, SuperSU zip will patch the boot img and installs root.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roleyus:
xdadev won't let me post this in lg g pad 7.0 forums (too new) so have to post here. Maybe similar on g pad 8.3

I created a custom boot.img (small edit, replaced /sbin/chargerlogo with /system/bin/reboot with Android Kitchen), but whenever I try to flash the boot.img (with Rashr, after correcting the permissions) and reboot, it sticks on the LG logo and there is an error at the top ("Error: boot verification failed"). Same issue using cofface's unpack/repacker for kernel.

I noticed the boot.img I create using any method is always less than half the file size of the stock image boot.img. Something isn't adding up, anyone know possible why?

I can boot up to TWRP and restore the boot, but anyone have a suggestion on why the boot.img might not be working?

Maybe I have to unlock the bootloader? Anyone know how to do that on this device?

I'm not sure I'm even asking the right questions here, any lead is greatly appreciated!

i also have an lg glad 7.0 att v410 running 5.0.2 the only was i could root it was if i used root king and that was all i could do.

I DID FIND THAT IF I USE THE TWRP 2.8.5.0 FOR V400 NOT V410 FLASH TO RCOVORY VIA FLASHILY AND WHENI REBOOT ITS IN FASTBOOT MODE.

Im probably digging in a graveyard here but i accidently flashed my boot instead of recovery in twrp. Well now im screwed i can still get into twrp with full functionality however i need the original boot.img or a boot.img that will boot up my Tablet. I have an Lg Gpad 7.0 LTE V410 but im assuming i need a new boot file to flash as i have screwed mine up. But please any help will be so appreciated as i can not do anything without it. I can get to twrp without an issue and download mode without an issue. Thank you in advance

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jolness1:
Been running PureNexus exclusively on my 5x and love it. However, I am unable to set LED duration in LightFlow even though custom colors work fine. I think the built in LED duration option takes priority over LightFlow's settings. I tried disabling the LED in PureNexus Settings hoping it would allow LightFlow to work unfettered, but it just completely disables the LED (I thought this would happen, but didn't know what else to try). Anyone else on PureNexus found a work around? I don't want to use another ROM as besides this PureNexus has all the options I need built in and very little extra tweaks/mods.

If there isn't a way around this, what other ROMs feature Immersive Mode configuration and NavBar disabling (I know these can be done via other methods, but would rather have it as an easy to access setting). I tried CM13-nightly builds 1/15-1/17 and couldn't get the phone to go past the Boot Logo.

Thanks!

It is ok. I have a number of these and have not found one yet that wasn't a little clunky. This is ine of the better stream lined ones I have tried but I usually end up going back to the normal mounts during long drives. Side pins to hold the device in usually end up hitting one of the buttons and shutting the power down or changing the volume when i am trying to do something on the phone.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varxx:
I recognize this question is probably pointless, but do you folks thinks it's possible that, when it officially releases Marshmallow, Sony will include a fix for all of us who've goofed up our DRM status by unlocking the boot loader?

It would be such a user-friendly, customer-oriented, public-relations-boosting gesture.

I recognize that Sony isn't legally bound to do something like this, but it would surely go a long way toward cultivating a good-sized group of techie and wannabe-techie customers.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yablokosmonaut:
I have struggled to compare images etc. online in order to answer this. I am sorry if this has been asked, but I have googled and searched within these forums before posting this.

Let's say I got an N915P (Sprint) in great condition and obscenely cheap, but with a bad ESN.

Would the space inside and the components me compatible with the logic board from the N915A (AT&T, preferred) or N915V (Verizon, workable)?

If so I can have a working Note Edge up and running for (relative) peanuts. But I don't want to spend a lot on a logic-board that will not fit, or will have different cable fittings.

It looks so far like they are all very similar. Does anyone have experience with this?

Kind regards,

John

EDIT: Currently bidding on an n915a motherboard, if it stays at a good price and I win, I can update this with my experience.

I still highly appreciate all/any response, as it might discover that I should stop bidding immediately
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yablokosmonaut:
Important update to anyone who needs to know the outcome of this:

I was able to swap the Verizon and Sprint motherboards very easily thanks to the phone's design, and everything works completely naturally. This feels like it has always been a Verizon device.

I swapped the charger port / mic setup at the same time, in case there are any differences, as there often are.

I hope this is useful to someone.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RGeral:
Take a look in the image below. It's actually three images put together, from three different events.

They were created by an excel worksheet, using VBA. I have to send an image like that to nine people, using whatsapp.

Now let me tell you the story behind the images:

Say nine NFL players live together and share their vehicules to go trainning.

They are:

- J.J. Watt

- Aaron Rodgers

- Tom Brady

- DeMarco Murray

- Peyton Manning

- Calvin Johnson

- Andrew Luck

- Antonio Brown

- Marshawn Lynch

They have four cars (a Toyota, a GM, a Volkswagen and a Hyundai), three motorcycles (a Kawasaki, a BMW and a Ducati) and two bikes.

They always change vehicules in a certain order (bike, car, motorcycle, car, bike, car, motorcycle, car, motorcycle), in a way that the first guy who drives the Toyota will get to drive it again after 8 rotations.

Say day one the sequence for players is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

Day two would be 9, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.

Day tree would be 8, 9, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.

If today player "5" takes the BMW, it means player "4" takes the Volkswagen and player "6" takes the Hyundai. Tomorrow (or in the next rotation), player "5" will take the Hyunday, player "4" will take the BMW and player "6" will take the Ducati.

I make such rotation work with the mentioned VBA, but it would be nice if I could make it work on the cell phone.

I'm just starting to learn about Java and Android. Could anybody help me?...

Thanks a lot.

yesterday I tried to update the ROM to a new one - WM6 .

I copy into my mini SD the file diskimage_ver.nb0 and I renamed it into diskimg.nb0, after the update my device turned off and I couldn't turn it on.

I pressed the camera button and soft reset so that the bootloader will boot and the PDA turned on! and bootloader appear - but I forgot to copy into the sd card the original ROM so I restart again and I copy to the mini sd card the original ROM files and I pressed the camera button and soft reset to get the bootloader again but the PDA not responding...

(When I connect the PDA to electricity the red light works and when I remove the battery and insert it again the call button and hang up buttons work (green and red light) for 1 second).

Be paient:

1) take out battery & SIM for a while...5 min is enough.

2) remove SD card( a must )

3) put battery back

4) press the camera button with the "POWER" button.

5) check if boot loader boots.

6) if yes, re-flash your phone with running the update Flash program in Windows environment connected with a USB cable.

Thanks dcoloane but it's not working :(
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] dzaprojects:
I had the same problem yesterday and fixed it.

To get back to the bootloader, do this exactly in chronological order:

1. remove SD Card

2. remove battery

3. hold camera button and reset (stylus) button (without the battery attached)

4. replace battery back while still holding the buttons

This will bring you back to bootloader mode.

When you get into the bootloader,

1. Plug the device to your desktop via usb.

2. Make sure that the Notification area in your desktop at least detects a device. if not, try and try until it does.

3. Download Xda-AtomExec-ENG-20060614_R060428N_EX0028.exe (ancient basic rom for my exec) but in your case, because you have an Atom only, get the one for Atom(not exec) i think this is it http://rapidshare.com/files/40346284/Xda-Atom-ENG-20060426-MOT0822.exe .

4. flash it the usual way.

5. Usualy gets stuck at 6% at the extended ROM upgrade, dont mind it, hard reset it,

6. Enter the bootloader again.

7. Flash your original ROM.

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] jiggs:
You are not suppose to rename diskimage_ver.nb0 into diskimg.nb0 :mad: without altering the file. That's why they have different names to start with.

The files that came with normal DSUU OS mode flashing have header identifier while the files for SD Card flash do not. It is assumed that you know what you are doing during SD Card flashing, that's why there is no manual or instructions to do it. bootloader mode was meant for device service personnel use only. We use it to hack the ROM. :D
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] jiggs:
DO THE FOLLOWING:

1. remove the battery for one minute

2. insert the battery while observing the LED

3. if LED blinks once, your bootloader is okay

4. do as dcoloane says to the detail

IF LED doesn't blink, sorry mate, you toast your device. It's now a paper weight.
