Many thanks for your reply and all the details. Unfortunately, the "spn-conf.xml" does only handle the carrier name seen under SIM 1/2 settings. so the numbers are still there under the notification data connection icon as well in lock screen upper-left corner. I reflashed RR 5.7.4 from scratch and managed to copy that file in the corresponding path with Root Explorer (seems something screwed up my r/w mounting in the previous installation), rebooted, but it didn't fixed the issue as I stated before.

Weird or not, the issue gets fixed by itself randomly, in any of the following cases: after a few hours/days, after you switch to another antenna during travelling, after you lose signal, after you try to force registering to other forbidden networks in sim settings so when it re-registers automatically it gets the correct carrier name (in my case, 22605 got replaced by "Digi.Mobil 3G" in the manual network search menu).

Even more weird, after it finds the carrier name correctly, the issue doesn't appear until you reflash RR 5.7.4 a couple of times (I found this by accident, as I have reflashed from scratch over ten times while testing various fixes and modifications).
[Android General] 7awliet:
Same, I can relate to this. I managed to test my S124 patch but it didn't fix it. If you're one to flash often, then perhaps you ought to unzip RR 5.7.4 and place the .xml file in he right place then zip it again, then flash it. Note that there are more than 3 .xml's that could be responsible for this, as seen in the thread links I give. I haven't flashed since August and I'm on 5.7.3, never got round to fixing up 5.7.4. In the first few weeks, the ROM would automatically connect to stored Wi-Fi access points and show network name everywhere, later though it would stop doing that.

On the face of it, could be be something in the cache that builds up and causes this problem, but refuses to be cleared when you wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache. It could be written to Data but I don't bother wiping Data any more, such a hassle backing up and restoring everytime.

Guys ! Thank you for being so helpful :) but i'm here to ask yet another question. I flashed r-remix 5.7.4 and used the porting tool [MENTION=7523876]7awliet[/MENTION] provided, thanks for that :victory: it flashed properly and am using it right now. I downloaded and flashed the best camera fix and gps fix provided here in the thread (i used the search bar, trust me) but i still don't have any luck :( camera still forced close eventhough i already have the xposed module for the camera fix and i can't get a gps lock. Help me please :crying:

This was provided in the post where I bundled all the other major posts under the tag complete camera fix(replace the old boot.IMG with the ported new RR if you please). Is this the one you flashed ? I've also given a tip for fully fixing it after flashing this(optional,basically your turning camera sound off cause sound did caused camera to crash in older versions)

GPS worked fine in this port though sometimes it takes some time for the GPS to lock

Besides there are a number of patches you can try

Hi [MENTION=7387201]northwindtrades[/MENTION] and [MENTION=7523876]7awliet[/MENTION]

Is there a way to get engineering mode on our phone on a custom rom?

Can we take stock rom's engineering mode apk from system and make it into a flash able zip.

I really needed this if anyone can help, ten please!! :crying:
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Both gave me the same result.

Thought about it too ,will look into it when I'm free
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Mtk engineer mode

.... So custom ROM like cyanogen doesn't support mtk engineer mode which is quite a setback since most of our custom ROMs are based on it.but ROMs that are not based on cyanogen like miui does support it so if you ever thought of switching.........

Miui is a lovely ROM its not that hard gaming friendly.

I did isolate the apk and tried to install it but no luck either.

Flashing it via recovery? Force close is what you'll likely get.

I'll confirm my last in the help thread.
[Android General] MithunSanthikumar:
Thanks for that info. But I hate miui. :p

Nougat anytime soon? Just wondering! :D
[Android General] northwindtrades:
1)try anything not based on cyanogen

2)data and vedio decoding does not work.link is in the post where I bundled all the others

Is the VPN fixed?
[Android General] andreidi:
Does anyone have any idea why when using RR 5.7.4 or CM13 rom, I cannot mount system as rw and, therefore, I cannot delete stock apks and folder from system/app or system/private-app??? It's driving me crazy. I'm using Root Explorer and gave Privacy Guard root permissions. I manage to delete some files successfully, but after that I cannot even mount system as rw. After this point, I cannot do any modifications to system until I reflash everything from scratch... I also tried: SELinux permissive, SuperSU and deleting from recovery, but to no avail... I flashed the ROM for over 10 times with no luck at all.
[Android General] xda.zardy:

Which recovery do you use, also which version.
[Android General] andreidi:
Twrp 3.0.

I found the issue: xposed. I flashed again from scratch and didn't install anything and now it works. I deleted apps with CM File Browser set to root mode. I will first make modifications to system then proceed installing stuff.

[Android General] bogo69:
Hello!

I think I may have killed my device...

I tried to flash a custom kernel the other day using flashtool on top of the stock KK rom (the one with the touchscreen lag). After flashing the boot file, flash tool got an error dialog box and stopped responding.

Now my phone won't turn on no matter what buttons i press. When I try to reflash, flashtool won't detect it, even though in Device Manager it shows up under COM 5. I tried to set flashtool to download to COM 5 but still doesn't work.

Any advice?

[Android General] northwindtrades:
Does it vibrate or charge? What custom kernel did you flash 3.4.67 or 3.10.54 ?

Until these are answered best advice would be to leave it alone for some time so the battery hits zero and later trying to flash stock again
[Android General] bogo69:
I tried to flash a 3.4.67 boot.img extracted from this kernel ftp://185.86.77.191/LuckAs-kernels/A5000/.

It has no reaction when plugged in, not even with charger.
[Android General] northwindtrades:
it would be helpfull if you can provide the error produced sp flash tool.but anyway this looks like a hardbrick although you flashed the right thing,it was supposed to be flashed through twrp though ,either that or the cable got loose when flashing.

anyway give it enough time so the battery fully discharges,then try flashing stock again.if you fail then load sp flash tool like usual but when connecting your phone via usb also hold the vol+ button(this way you connect in meta mode),calm down, this phone can unbricked this way,its a bit of luck trying to connect in meta mode(may take some tries).

you can contact me by private message at any time:)

[Android General] MithunSanthikumar:
Flash the otg + camera fix.

It also has custom kernel in it.
[Android General] andreidi:
A link, please? What custom kernel? If you mean "wac pereng" release, that is for 5.6.8 and I don't think the boot is suitable for 5.7.4. Also, camera works ok with the 5.7.4 release, so I guess we don't need to attempt to fix something that is already fixed (unless we want to break it). I looked in that zip and all I could find was references for the camera fix.

Anyway, I managed to see the USB OTG with ES File Explorer only. But I guess this is the only option for 5.7.4 as far as I remember.
[Android General] TheRealBarney:

The changes were made in the boot.img for OTG fix.,camera wasn't working either at that time so that's why it's bundled

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

[MENTION=2928988]bogo69[/MENTION] for your IMEI problem: see my post above, you should find the Setting up guide 13 links down (current location).

In the first section you, see Step 8, and under the third section, see Step 4 and 7.

Formatting the System partition in SP Flash Tools with cause you many problems. Same with Wiping the System partition in TWRP or any recovery. Don't do it, not necessary here.

Fix your IMEI, use the search box, I posted I solution "IMEI Restoring", post #1000, page 100.

The was some talk about IMEI leading up too that and after it as well, see post #1006 on the next page too, please.

P.S.: I understand that flashing a new ROM MAY again replace your IMEI with the one that comes with the ROM that you just flashed but I haven't figured out if it happens with all ROMs. See post #998 about NVRAM backup talk.
[Android General] andreidi:
I'm sorry, but I couldn't find ANY single post about volume boosting tweaking under CM13 or RR or anything like that using the method you posted...

But I found "vol_fix.zip" and "audiofix.zip" on that page with fixes, but I'm not sure what they do... "vol_fix.zip" changes stuff in NVRAM and "audiofix.zip" is actually AudioFX, I don't know what it does. I really don't want to experiment on my own, so I'm awaiting confirmation...
[Android General] elbana10:
thx bro

But there are some problems

Like

When you receive a call from the phone through the earpiece does not respond or open the call

Internet connectivity sometimes too late and does not appear until restart the phone more 5 time and the telephone network also

any fix ??
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Pink/purple tint on camera and occasional error when playing online vedios. Thanks for mentioning it.

[MENTION=5862131]andreidi[/MENTION] that audiofx and the other one is for MIUI I think(if you got it from the tag "MIUI patches by 7awliet from 4pda")might work on others but this audiofx isn't is overpowering as the Cyanogen one.
[Android General] andreidi:
So what do I need to do in order to disable/tweak volume boost on CM/RR? I tried searching through your posts but I didn't find a suitable one.

Internet connectivity issues = I have them once in a while, but lately I don't. If you use my RR_fixed.zip it might not happen too often because fixing carrier names might have fixed this also.

When your receive call through the earpiece: you mean pressing play/pause (answer) button on the headset doesn't answer call or what? If it doesn't work, use my key layout fix. If still doesn't work, install Xposed module Physical Button Music Control and create presets for each desired environment to act as you desire when you press a certain button.
[Android General] northwindtrades:
This was discussed very earlier but I didn't add it my post cuz there weren't any fruitful solutions. You can try to delete or replace audiofx and try viperfx.usual solution is editing a file called mixerpath.xml but I couldn't find it(or any similar files) in our Roms So i sort of left it as such. Viper4android is a decent solution
[Android General] elbana10:
yes bro i use u r RR_fixed.zip in Internet connectivity sometimes the Internet does not work until i restart the phone more than 4 times and sometimes the network does not work .

in the headset

if u have a incoming call while u connect the headset , u cant ans the call , when u open the call the call is end.
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Link removed
[Android General] andreidi:
Flashing "Vol_fix.zip" fixed the issue. Now volume is not normalized anymore. Also, thanks for your advice: I've removed AudioFX and installed ViperFX, which is very customizable and it suits my needs.
[Android General] andreidi:
Yes, sometimes I have the connectivity issues myself, too.

Also, thanks for the clarifications about not able to answer incoming calls when you have the headset connected to the phone. I only tested outgoing calls, but now I tested incoming calls and I have your issue, too. The problem seems to be network disconnect when you try to answer the call, as the dial initiator sees the call in progress as normal. This also happens when you end call after you have it on speaker, it loses signal for a couple of seconds, then reconnects. I have no idea how to fix this.

2) lost internal memory storage - can't be seen in File Manager/MTP over PC, seems like emulated folder from /storage is missing.

3) cannot wake-up by double-pressing on lock screen like in LuckAs kernel.
