[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoctor:
I'm on the unofficial CM 12.1 build and went back to my stock rom after a full factory reset and it restored fine but when going back to my custom rom backed up by TWRP 2.8.7.0 and restored using newer 3.0 version most of my apps were missing along with my browser website links folder as well. The stock rom I restored was also one from the older TWRP version restored by the newer 3.0 version and it worked fine. This is the first nandroid restore I've ever done that didn't just restore it exactly like I left it and it has me a bit worried.

When I flashed the new TWRP 3.0 and tried to do a current backup it failed saying my system was set to read only. I changed this in TWRP's settings and the backup worked but I don't remember this system RW change being an issue with the older version. Are these changes meant for Marshmallow's more restrictive firmware and just tweaks we will have to make on older lollipop roms ?
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] challu:
Hi Folks,

Having this nagging problem on my 950xl, while i was on insider preview of 10586.107, i got a message while paying tubecast that my 3G data is not working, and that it was a known issue. as i was out of town i dint go much then, but once i was back home i tried all the below stuff.

1) Soft Reset

2) Hard reset to Factory

3) Hard reset to factory and upgrade to latest firmware, and build 14267.1002.

None of which have resolved my problem, my phone shows H+, H,E and 2G symbols but when i put a url in edge or try gettings emails etc, it never connects to the internet.

I even managed to go to FieldTest to see if any bands are switched off but even there everything was fine.

I even logged a call with service provider, to see if its a server side problem, but they say its ok on their side.

Any suggestions? do you think my phone is faulty? anyone encountered this before and manage to fix this?
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] frost_icewind:
It seems you don't have an APN configured. Please check that you do.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] challu:
Fixed...hurray

Thanks for the response, i had the APN configured both automatically and Manually. but it dint work before.

Update: Not sure what happened...after 6 days of no data, and lots of calls to vodafone...something happened. and data is working again now. hope it stays that way.

Have you try to reset to official build? And to me it seems like it could be a hardware issue rather than a software/firmware, since didn't see others have similar one.

Connectivity

I am also having connectivity issues with my unbranded 950XL dual sim. On data, it appears to be logging on to an inappropriate network. Unlike previous OS's, I can't figure out how to get this one to manually select another network. There are some WiFi networks, usually at hotels, that I just simply cannot log on to. Everyone else can. Any advise will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] pgrey2:
Under the SIM settings, there's a "Scan for Network" or similar button, which will present a list of the providers available. This allows you to correct a mis-selected provider, manually.

On the WiFi issue, I responded to your other thread. Let me know if you aren't seeing that, and I'll post here too.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tapa_t:
Hey xda/nexus community,

Is it possible to make a backup of bootloader? If it is, how?

No, I am not talking about kernel (boot.img is the kernel, correct?), system, recovery, or data. Bootloader.

My Nexus 5 came with bootloader version hhz11n. The factory image from Google (4.4.4) has bootloader version hhz11k.

I have no idea how different these two are, but since hhz11n image can't be found anywhere, I want to back it up before flashing to Lollipop or Marshmallow.

My Nexus is still running 4.4.4, bootloader unlocked, rooted, with TWRP installed.

Thanks for your help!

Hi, my father purchased a galaxy gs5 from a coworker and I have gone through a lot of bypass factory reset videos from YouTube and it still does not let me reset the device, as the person who he bought it from did not remember the email and password they used when they set it up.

I've used PNY flash drive, uploaded the file to let me get to the setting, then followe'd everything to the T. When I get to the final Reset Device button, i click it and NOTHING. Step dad keeps asking if I got his phone working yet. Still waiting on help from the World. He does not have a Smartphone. He has an old Blackberry, and wants to be able to join our world.

Please help.
[Xposed General] 535iu:
Hello, I've been trying to install Xposed in Huawei Ascend G300 CyanogenMod 9 (4.0.4), but it never gives positive result.

The Xposed Installer apk does not give problems, but when pulse the option of installing in the Framwork tab, throws error. I've tried all modes of installation:

* Classic (installed in tracking)

* Recovery (Flash zip automatically)

* Recovery (put zip in your SD card and Flash manually)

I've also downloaded a zip file and I proceeded to install from recovery (TWRP), but it was useless. They have not served wipes of cache and Dalvík. I've tried several Xposed, also older versions.

Can someone help me?

Thanks a lot.

Ignore update, you shouldn't have any module problems as long as the required xposed version is below or the same as yours(if it is too low the module will refuse to activate)
[Xposed General] KevinX8:
Why haven't you updated to cm 11 yet? android 4.0 was so awful compared to ios 6 at the time there was literally no competition who was faster 4.1 majorly improved androids speeds and fluidity that it could actually compete. To me it seems like the worst descision ever to stay on 4.0
[Xposed General] 535iu:
Haha. Now I would like to upgrade to CM11 and that phone worked well! However, I devoted many hours when was my main mobile and tried several ROMs. CM9 is that was going better.

I think that it is become a little weary at the hardware level, it has aged badly.

Only I already use this mobile home, to tinker a bit.

"If something works is better not to touch it," I think of this phrase whenever I remember this mobile. Before I was not so, but I am old... I just want to last me, but I can not deprive me play with applications, configurations, etc. But now nothing changes of ROMs. Haha.

Doesn't really matter which carrier firmware you flash as all Canadian carriers use the same firmware with a bit of customization.

[Lenovo Vibe K5 Guides, News, & Discussion] FumiJ:
As you know, Lenovo seems to be a long time not to release the mid range smartphone at the high competitve price since last one, Lenovo Lemo K3. Right now Lenovo has been back at MWC 2016 with a series of devices such as Lenovo Vibe K5 and Lenovo K5 pro, which are the two affordable mid range devices with nice specs, design and price.

First, let’s talk about Lenovo Vibe K5 which is a 5inch HD LCD display , it has RAM 2GB, ROM 16GB, as for the dual camera, it support 13MP rear camera and 5MP front camera. Of course, it can be expandable to 32GB and dual sim card slots. In addition, Lenovo Vibe K5 is powered by Snapdragon 415 chipset. And the battery has 2,750mAh battery. So the overall performance is very nice.

About the next product, Lenovo K5 pro, in view of the name, we can see it will be the upgraded version of Lenovo Vibe K5. They have a few minor differences. And it has higher resolution with FHD 1920*1080P. The other difference is the CPU, Lenovo K5 pro runs faster processor with Snapdragon 616. Therefore, the price will be a little higher than that of Lenovo Vibe K5.

The Lenovo VIBE K5 will go on sale in March for $129 while the K5 Pro will retail for $149 instead.

Therefore, which one will you be looking forward to more? Lenovo vIBE k5 or Lenovo K5 pro? Or the other lenovo device? Just share with me if you have more idea about it!

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivan333:
I got an ascend mate 7, and I've been using a lot of apks to move that OBB folder to the SD card and I can't make it work not even with rooted device. Now I bought chaos of ring III and I couldn't even installed it because FF IX is using all my internal memory not even with folder mount I can't use it... and several apks to move that folder and make some space in the internal memory.

Does the SD required anything special? any format 2 partition, I don't know.

Thanks guys in this case I'm a little bit desperate, I hope you understand what I mean.

Thanks.

No way to make it work so sad..
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jvan exodvs:
Well. There is an option on the mate 7 which you can choose where do you want the phone to write. I have chosen the external memory. You don't have to be root to do this. I also have installed heavy games like final fantasy 9(3gb). And many more. Just look for that option on storage.

---------- Post added 17-05-2016 at 12:02 AM ---------- Previous post was 16-05-2016 at 11:59 PM ----------

If you choose external memory as your writable disc. All the games data and obb will go to the external. I have a 64gb card running heavy games with no problem.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivan333:
But if you chose external memory everything will go there and I don't want that.

I went to apk and I moved it to SD card already but it doesn't change anything. I mean it moves the apk that's all. 32mb.

Any other option idea or something?

Thanks.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jvan exodvs:
Well that's the only way to move data and obb.... To the sd as far I know... Also with link to sd pro... But you have to make a partition on the sd. That should help.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akaholik:
To be clear, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, and no experience whatsoever with any of this.

Over 12 hours of research I managed to unlock the bootloader, root, and flash my TextNow Moto E with a stock US Cellular ROM. Everything worked fine.

What are the next steps to take, if any? Is it possible to even use a GSM network on this phone? I have an active T-Mobile sim card that the phone simply will not accept. I get a "no sim found" notification.

I attempted this with no success.

To start, su command would not work.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtermmin:
This worked for me on the XT1529, but it might work on the XT1526 as well since they're both LTE/CDMA devices:

root, open /system/build.prop, add the following line to the end: ro.telephony.default_network=10

save, make sure the permissions are still 0644, reboot.

When you check *#*#4636#*#* it should be in LTE/GSM/CDMA mode, and in Settings > Mobile Network it should say "Global".
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akaholik:
This didn't work. I ended up experimenting more and softbricked my phone, got stuck in a boot loop. Through curiosity I ended up flashing the phone with a stock xt1527 rom. SIM now recognized as a non supported sim, so that's nice. Still doesn't work.

I cannot post links to screens as a new user, but if you happen to want to see them, message me and I'll link them from my dropbox.

I ended up ordering an unlocked xt1527 last night. However, I would still like to figure this out. Would I perhaps have to flash the modem?

[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akaholik:
I contacted sprint and gave them the IMEI - they tell me that this phone can indeed be unlocked (xt1526), but I would have to do it through TextNow. I've searched for ways to bring up the SIM unlock prompt, but it simply doesn't show up with any of the methods found. :s
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydroman202:
I am also having problems finding this menu. I wish there was an easy way to access it, but unfortunately, sprint has made it rather difficult.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandrumheller:
I still have my sprint model as well, and have the MSL code. But I have also never found a way to enter it for unlock. I've tried using active ATT and VZW SIMs, and also tried flashing the USC modem on it - still works on sprint / ringplus, but also still won't acknowledge ATT or VZW SIMs.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydroman202:
I don't know for sure, but i did read in another place on here somewhere about an "embedded card" that sprint put in another phone. I wonder if that is the case with this one? If not, all i can really think of is that there is something in place that motorola made specifically for the sprint model. We know its not modem related, so it must be somewhere else, in the NAM, or something like that. One thing i did accomplish was to get another bar, (it had no signal and looked like an outline, but it was there), show up by editing the build prop with a specific line and then rebooting. Odd thing is, its the same thing that showed up when i attemped to flash another stock firmware. The firmware i flashed was for the xt1526, retail us. Which leads me to think it might be a band issue, as someone else mentioned in another thread on here somewhere. I mean, it would make sense with the no signal and everything. Sorry for the long post, just thinking out loud i guess.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akaholik:
Yes, I'm hoping there is a fix somehow. I'm ok to use the phone on WiFi, but it is otherwise useless to me. I'd like to have a backup phone in case my first Moto E dies, they are really rugged.

[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ck9068:
Trying to make my XT1526 (Boost stock ROM) work with GSM, and got stuck on something weird. Inserted a SIM card from China Mobile, changed the network mode to "Global" and turned on roaming, after a while it got successfully registered on T-Mobile network, both voice and data. Yet, when I inserted a T-Mobile SIM card, the phone gave an "Invalid SIM card" error, and simply refused to connect. Thought it might be an issue with APN setting, but I couldn't manually add the T-Mo APN to the phone (in fact it wouldn't take any APN).

I think the phone's hardware is capable of LTE/CDMA/GSM. It's a just matter of figuring out the right configuration.

I wonder if the "fastboot oem config carrier" option would do any good?
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
DSU is tricky because it involved modifying the NV values thats buried in the radio software and it has a similar access issue to SU. I have (among many others) a Sprint S5 (G900P) and achieving DSU on it was the work of some SERIOUS developers. The config carrier might be of some help, but i havent delved into it yet, and im not sure if id fully understand what it means anyways. Additionally, Moto devices are tricky period. I had 2 Razrs (one xt 912 and one xt910), one of them was GSM unlockable and the other wasnt. Motorola mobile phone division has also changed hands recently, so its direction has also changed. Basically, whats needed here is either a ton of forum scouring or a developer to actually pay attention to this device, or a bit of both
[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
I originally had Arrow ROM installed and audio calls were not working, so I flashed the modem (when I should've flashed the audio patch) and I lost the mobile network settings and had a null IMEI. This isn't the first time this happens (didn't learn the first time to back up EFS) so I thought it'd be a easy fix. First I flashed the backed up EFS file of my friend's S6 and that didn't work, so then I flashed the stock firmware multiple times and it did nothing. It didn't even delete my data and just had it stuck on a boot logo and everything inwould just have to flash twrp with Odin and just try again but nothing seems to work. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
