you forgot to flash system.img," fastboot flash system system.img", after that execute the following commands: “fastboot format userdata” and “fastboot format cache”
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanagawaben:
I found that if you are on CM and using TWRP, you can flash stock by simply wiping caches and data (not system), installing Prism Barebone, and then installing the stock firmware zip over that. A little time-consuming having to do the two installs, but very simple and you don't need to piss about changing to stock recovery (so you can do it all on-device, no need for hooking up to a PC).

Just wanted to give a heads up about something I received from Amazon today: (Description cut & pasted...)

Fintie Ultra-thin 4mm Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard [Touch X1 Ultra Slim Series] with Built-In Multi-Touch Touchpad [Retail Packaging], Black

This thing is GREAT!

Advertised as 4mm thick (though I think it's more like 5 without having actually measured it, but it's only about 2 mm smaller dimension wise on the length and height of the z2 tablet. It's black, has a trackpad, full feeling keys (as full as could be excepted for that thickness, and the footprint is as small and thin as the tablet. The body is plastic, but the bottom is plastic-painted metal to give it rigidity. Built really well and despite its thiness, held up to the eye, all edges look straight. Doesn't wobble on the table like similar thin keyboards. No sharp edges, and no "unfinished" parts.

This thing accompanies the z2 perfectly, and it's only 22 bucks at Amazon.com.

Highly recommend this!

Nice find, thanks! :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Den Den:
Not sure what happened, but I've been using my S4 good. Out of no where it started acting up, freezing on me, etc. It's on latest firmware, 4.4.4 OK3. When i look under about phone, and check "service state", it would randomly say, "in service" then "radio off", "out of service" then go back to "in service". Also had/have a problem (haven't tested it for a good while yet, had old sim in and it gave problems, now using new sim, still did it one time atm.) with the phone saying "sim removed" or etc, like it cant find a sim? (weird part is my old sim works fine with other phones, my phone kept losing sim, sim no found, etc)

Weird, never had it happen, bars would go from 2 to 4-5, then drop to 1-3, or to 0 and go out of service. I did factory reset, but ofc it only went back to OK3 stock, tried to use previous modem that worked for me before problems started happening like NK2 modem, nope...still problems, so I flashed OK3 back for now. If i have good bars, and turn on mobile data, it would go out of service completely until i shut it off, cant use my mobile data. Anyone know what's the problem? Phone right now running with minimal apps installed, if you need more information, just ask. Thank you! in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Den Den:
Used the phone for a day with new sim, still has problems freezing up on calls(screen), says sim removed...device needs to restart, etc. Would Flashing older Firmware to like Nk2 solve this? I havent had problems on older ones, but when i got OTA, used for couple months and having problems now. Service keeps being circle with line thru it, when u try to make a call it would say "cannot connect to network or registered on network", dbm was -113(usually -100-115), and asu was 0, when service cuts off, keeps finding service then loses it all day, finds it, then make few calls, and loses it, keeps searching for it. Would flashing OK3 firmware solve it? Maybe OTA went wrong? Idk...or maybe go back to a stable rom 4.4.2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] audit13:
Is it possible the sim reader is damaged?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Den Den:
Not sure how it could have been damaged, it was always in a case.(guess i saw a video where a guy said they sometimes go bad on gs4's) Phone already been used for pretty good 1.5-2yrs. Phone freezing up, etc would result in a bad sim reader? Anyway to test that it really is a bad sim reader?(if it did go bad)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] audit13:
Was the sim card used with a sim adapter?

I suggested the possibility of a damaged SIM card reader because of the "sim removed" error message.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Den Den:
The previous sim that was origionally used in GS4, was used with sim adapter in an older phone that needed a standard sim, so this micro sim was was in adapter in an older phone, worked perfectly fine on Gs4(no sim adapter, just the micro sim), i even got a new sim card off ebay and changed over my number to new sim, and still phone is freezing up on calls, using it normally now, the signal would find the Carrier, then would lose it so many times, then tries to find it, then loses thru out the day, it's annoying as hell. Never had the problem of losing signal, having out of service sign(circle with line thru it), had good service everywhere till now. I even did a factory reset, started up phone up new, still problems with "sim removed" device needs to restart time to time, losing and catching signal a lot, or no service. Anyway to test/find out it really is a bad sim card reader? Just don't want to do 100's of things and it's not it. Phone it used for work ofc. Let me know if i should try anything, before buying a sim card reader, if it really is the problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] audit13:
How is the sd card reader? Both readers come as a single unit and they are not too expensive on eBay.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Den Den:
Not really sure, how the sd card reader is...Haven't really used it, as i didnt really need it. I could try and get back to you on that. Yeah, i checked on ebay, they r like 5$ or so, but still the hassle of replacing it, and it's not it. I'll get back to you how sd card works...etc.

Edit: Just tested my brothers Sd card with tons of pictures and videos on it. Put it in my phone, can easily look thru pictures and videos, unmounted couple times, put it in, works fine without any problems. Any ideas?

Also read online about sim error problem, and lots of people are saying it could be a hardware problem, and need to apply pressure to the ribbon of the sd/sim card.

Phone is working fine without the simcard inside, good bars, sometimes it goes low/no bars, or out of service, but still less then it is with a sim inside for some reason.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vasolini:
This is a known issue with the S4. Mine did the exact same thing. I have researched this and tried every fix under the sun, and nothing worked. I even bought a new sim card tray and replaced it. Nothing worked, and I babied this phone. My wife and daughter also have the S4 the same age and theirs are fine. I gave up and bought a new phone. Wish I could give you better news.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Den Den:
So you pretty much saying it's a hardware issue and nothing can be done to solve it? Thought maybe flashing older firmware or something might solve it, perhaps a hiccup in OTA update or the latest patch that could've caused it. Kinda sad to just throw it away when it was working soo good.... =/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tikay00:
OK, one question? How is the inside of your phone that damaged and beat up? Jeez man, take better care of that thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vasolini:
It is sad. And if you google the problem, you'll see a lot of S4 owners were mad that Samsung doesn't acknowledge the issue. I think somewhere on this site you'll find this subject covered in full. Some of the fixes work for a short time, but ultimately it is a hardware problem. Some think it's the NFC chip that is right under the tray (supposedly) that heats things up and causes the malfunction. Whatever it is, it has turned my S4 into a infrared remote for my TV, a Chrome caster for Netflix and Hulu, and an iPod Touch!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Den Den:
Rofl....At least you're still putting it to a good use :) It was a pretty good phone too rofl. Have you tried everything from putting a piece of foam(ear plug) over the ribbon for the sd/sim that lots of people talked about, etc? I guess if there is no real solution, I'll get get a new phone, prolly an iphone or w.e., had an eye on Gs6 Active cuz of long battery, durable, dust/water proof, etc, Gs6 is nice too but I'm in construction, and it's always in my pocket, need something that can last, and you know, keep a good charge while using everyday use like gps, listening to music, etc. What did you go for after your Gs4 stopped on you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vasolini:
Yes sir, tried them all!

I like a large screen, The S4 was the first phone I owned that had a screen larger than 4". So, I had to go even larger now. I picked up an Nexus 6 when they dropped the price after the 6P came out. My wife and daughter still have their S4's, so I keep up with the latest here for them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Blasito777:
damn shame... i just dropped to 4.4.4 with the NH7 kernal and modem set... still nada. I had a bit of luck with the separating the right side of the phone trick for a bit, but even that doesnt work anymore... I have a note 3 that im using for a daily driver... but i really find its too large for my taste. The s4 was pretty close to the perfect size for me. Prob gonna scoop up an S6 in a couple weeks. Ill keep it around as desk clock prob and a back up for when i drop and smash the s6 to pieces. I swear the wifi and bt were working till i installed the JDCTeam MM build back in december i think. Which made me think it was software related. Ever since then its been doneski... But tbh at this point, everythings pointing to hw issues...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Blasito777:
this $#!T is weird...

I admit defeat...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Den Den:
Well, looks like i kept getting the stupid sim card removed often even with w.e solutions i tried to use. Then out of nowhere my usb port stopped working altogether(cant charge my battery now lol). I give up, don't want to waste money into usb port, then something else falls apart rofl. My other Gs4 also worked for 2.5yrs or so, and died. R.I.P Galaxy S4's lol. Don't think they were built to last.
[XDA Assist] Vagabundoo:
So I had storage issues and I had to do a factory reset because apps were crashing due to lack of storage space. Did a factory reset everything went well, rooted my phone checked with root checker everything was fine. Then I decided to install Cyanogenmod 13 so I had to unlock bootloader. Tried to do that and I had some problems with that (pc didn't recognize my phone). After several tries I restarted my phone and then he just started vibrating with black screen. Tried everything cleaning the power button smacking the phone a bit etc. nothing worked. Left the phone vibrating until battery drained. Plugged it in and it just started vibrating all over again. When I hold power and volume up phone stops vibrating for a few seconds and the it starts again. When I plug it in without the battery screen shows battery missing message so I don't it's a screen issue. I'd appreciate if someone can help me with this problem. Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] cire253:
Hey Guys! Question, I saw Max Lee (high on android) take his note 5 apart, was curious where you can get the parts for the note 5. I have a tmobile note 5 and LOVE it, but got clumsy and dropped it, and dinged up the edge of the frame. There is someone that lives about 20min from selling the metal rear frame housing + loud speaker, only pickle is its for sprint. Having it be just the housing/frame, would it be ok to use for tmobile or are there parts in there that are going to be conflicting? I hate having a dinged up phone, so instead of getting a new one, just thought it would be easier to get the housing/frame and replace that. Any suggestions where to get it or if that sprint housing/frame would work?

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] JayWulf:
I downloaded Tasker with the intent of doing one single action - turning my equalizer on whenever I plug in my earphones, as the topic title might suggest.

Is this possible? The app I use has an option to put a shortcut on my home screen that turns it on without actually opening the app. Is there a way that I can set Tasker to perform this same fucntion?

(Additionally: is there a way to set it to ignore the function if the equalizer is already on? And is it possible to set it to turn the equalizer off in the same way (there's a home screen shortcut provided for that too) when I unplug my earphones?)
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Monza24v:
You can do that, but you need to have "autoShortcut"

Sorry, I can't link to it, but search for it on google play

Or actually, you don't need it, you can do it by running scripts that emulate screen touches, but option one is the easiest by far :)

(EDIT: You need root to emulate screen touches)
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] MishaalRahman:
You can launch shortcuts within Tasker by selecting "All" in the launch application task (to show all applications installed) then simply long-press on the app you installed and it will bring up relevant activities that you can directly launch.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] raskell:
Remove the battery for 15 minutes or so then re-insert it and try to restart your machine. Note: hard reset requires you to hold down the two - (dash) keys and press the reset button. Some folk (perhaps not you) think that pressing the reset button with the stylus is a hard reset, but that is just a soft one. Good Luck.

Hi All!

I'm brand new to this forum, so thanks for reading this in advance.

I am totally new at this.

My XT926 crashed while I was wiping the google cache and a phone call came in, and now won't get past the motorola logo on bootup. I've tried calling Verizon and Motorola but their solutions have not helped. I have done the factory reset from the recovery menu, and attempted to flash Jelly Bean 4.1.2 using RSD lite and the recovery menu. Having a bit of an issue with installing AdbWinApi.Dll (or some such file)

Here are the issues I'm having:

I don't know how to determine which version of software might possibly be still on the phone. The Verizon Tech seemed to think that all the software on the phone is gone, including the startup file. The fastboot menu

reads:

AP Flashboot Flash Mode (S)

10.9B(*) (sha-61146a2, 2014-07-29 00:54:49)

eMMC Info: Size 32GB

Device is LOCKED, Status Code: 0

Battery OK

Transfer Mode:

USB Connected

I'm not sure if there is a way to get back to the stock software. The phone is out of warranty so if rooting or any other kind of exploit is the way to go, I'm all for it.

I realize you guys have a lot of more exciting things to do, so thanks for any help you can provide. Thanks!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AllanonMage:
I bought a used T-Mobile Note 2 not that long ago. I rooted it and put Phoenix ROM on it. Today I put in a SIM card and saw it had no signal. After reading the forums here and other internet articles, I thought that something was up with my IMEI and, sure enough it was null. Luckily, I had a nandroid backup from just after rooting and before flashing Phoenix, but I had to fully restore the backup; restoring EFS, or EFS and the modem did not restore cell signal. The phone is now running stock 4.1.2 (rooted)

What versions can you upgrade to?

What versions are post-upgrade irreversible?

What are the applicable versions for US modems/radios? I see lots of shortform for their firmware versions and I can't tell how many there are. I think there are ~3 important ones, but I'm not sure.

How do modems and modem files play out in the US? I stumbled across this thread several times while searching, but those modems all appear to be for abroad, not the US.

Should I stick with a 4.1.x ROM? I stumbled across this thread. Is 4.1 still good stuff?

------

In case anyone is looking for help restoring their EFS folder, apparently you can also restore it via Kies.
