Hello,

I have some simple questions:

My Note 4 does not work properly anymore. It very often starts with an error called "mmc_read failed". So it seems to be, that the internal card is damaged in any way.

Q1: How I can find out, what part of the internal card is damaged, what sectors (like on a PC HDD)?

Q2. How I could exclude this malfunctional ones of the boot procedure or how it could be managed, that the procedure of booting does not touch the bad parts of the internal card?

Thank you :)

You can go here and get it: http://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone_2_ZE500CL/HelpDesk_Download/

Reminder, we already have TWRP and bootloader unlock tool: http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/general/guide-twrp-2-8-7-0-custom-recovery-t3328155

So, I guess for anyone interested, you can finally build custom ROMs for this device :)

(thanks to @CHuvaCK21 for the good news)
[ZenFone 2 General] cidlover:
Yeah, I don't think custom Roms will happen because i showed someone else this news and they said that ASUS didn't update the kernel at all. So I'm dropping hope now, don't know about you guys.

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rooter45:
I wanted to know how to do it since i need to do so in order to allow USB HID for my Moga Pocket (Using the Moga Universal Driver). I need to use that mode because half the games i play don't work properly unless i'm using USB HID. Also, what are the risks for rooting? Any benefits other than what i'm trying to achieve? Could this possibly brick my phone? I'm new to this whole thing, but i want to try it out.

My carrier is T-Mobile, and i'm running Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. Model is SM-G530T.

UPDATE: I decided that i will just return/refund my Moga Pocket and get a Moga Pro instead. I heard the Moga pro has HID support right out of the box.

Hello, I have a Samsung SGH-T599N

The device usb port is damaged beyond repair. It has stock "Metro Pcs" firmware which I managed to installed via a backup of another SGH-T599N via Custom Recovery. However I I cant seem to find a way to restore to (Baseband/ Modem/radio) for the mobile network to work.

I tried the modem.bin on the first post of this thread via the terminal and it does not work. I do however have access to another SGH T599N I would like to know if there is a way to copy the Baseband and all other necessary components to install on the one without usb connection either via Terminal or Custom Recovery.

So my problem in summary: SGH-T599N with no usb capability to has no baseband, or imei or modem and cannot connect to mobile

has Custom Recovery Installed and is Rooted.

I also have access to a second SGH-T599N

Please Help, is there a way that I can fix this problem.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You messed it up by restoring the data from another device. The IMEI is hard coded into a file and restoring the files from another device killed it. Without be able to flash the stock firmware you are out of luck

I don't remember storing data from another device on it, I flashed a custom rom on it (Pac-Man) and after doing so I ended up with my current situation.

In the OP you stated you flashed a backup from another device. Either way your efs partition got messed up. A common thing with PA roms. Not alot you can do about it.

Are you able to put the phone in download mode (vol- + Home +Power)?, If you do download ROM from any of the sources around and using Odin install the ROM. Do not checked the re-partition box in options. If you're not comfortable doing this or not sure do some reading on installing firmware using Odin.
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony32:
Hey guys!

My phone started having troubles with the touch (how unexpected right?)

Well, the thing is, when I was gonna remove the digitizer connector cable, I tried pulling the black plastic thing backwards instead of flipping it up.

Reason I did this was because I've repaired a few laptops and they had the type of connector were you pull the plastic thing back to release the connector.

The black plastic thing broke off in half so now I can't securely connect the digitizer anymore.

So, question is, can I get a replacement? I took one from another old HTC phone but it's not the correct one. (Lenght wise is correct, but not with the holes for the pins)

At 1:54 it shows the thing I'm talking about.

Youtube link (imbedded link didnt work)

Also attaches a printscreen of it for less hassle.

[IMG="Connector thingy"]http://i.imgur.com/rl3YnOp.png[/IMG]

The black plastic piece that shows is the one I'm talking about!

Better view:

[IMG="Better"]http://i.imgur.com/Dkz2zuZ.png[/IMG]

I don't even know the name of these parts so I don't even know what to search for. Please help me out guys.

Probably best way is to buy a new complete connector and remove the black plastic piece and fasten it onto the phones one.

Kind regards,

Tony

You need to decide which you want ideally. If I had a choice I'd go for black front with silver back but it's not available in the UK so I'm going for all black. (carbon grey)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] drumz0rz:
My preference:

1. Red (too bad I'm not in Japan... Verizon, please!)

2. Glacier Silver (Black front)

3. Carbon Grey

4. Glacier Silver (White front)

5. Topaz Gold

I think the gold looks a bit too "Toyota Camry beige" than gold in the photos, but we'll see. Look at how good the red would look:

I have the lighter M9, and I had the darker M8. I believe of the two, I prefered the darker color. So I will likely go with the black/darker tone.

My wake-up alarm (a standard one, from "clock" Today went off today as usual, only it did not display any notification bubble or icon. Since then it's in a constant loop, I cannot turn it off, tried settings, several soft resets...Even though all alarms are disabled now in settings, this one is still on.

It may have something to do with Remapesoftkeys (tweaking registry settings) I had used...

Any suggestions guys? Perhaps to tweak back the left soft key to original (to display notifications again)? How to do that (I have Resco Registry, but have never used it).

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] filterxg:
So I'm probably going to buy an S7 Duos in the next few weeks.

I've been carrying two cell phones for the last few years. One for work on AT&T and another personal on T-Mobile.

(I actually bought this zenfone with the idea of consolidating but it got rejected by IT. Apparently only galaxies and iphones are now allowed on the network.)

Anyway I looked at the band's and it should work well, but I've seen a lot of reception issues. It's been suggested to try different modem files but nobody seems to actually report back and say it worked.

1) Has anybody gotten the FD version working well on T-Mobile? AT&T?

2) Did you change the modem? To which modem?

3) Can you use the stock file for the US versions? Or would be an issue with the processor or the second sim?
[XDA Assist] Andyoids:
OK.... I admit I have bricked my device, I know it.... no sympathy required, just a stupid (STUPID) error, :crying:

I had successfully flashed a new ROM to my other Softwinner A33 tablet, (long story, but was removing the Chinese Trojans, Virii and bloatware from my tablet), by using "PhoenixCard" and a formatted mini TF card with the new ROM.

Unfortunately the new ROM meant the wifi wasnt working (But I could use ethernet)... and at last I had gotten rid of the Trojans etc.

I felt pretty smug, but thought to myself...."I know, I'll take a backup of my other identical Softwinner Tablet ROM by using CWM, and if needed I can re-install that ROM to get the wifi working".

So I went and plugged a TF card into the new (unflashed tablet), turned it on and BOOM..... realised too late that I had used the wrong TF card, this was the formatted TF card with the new ROM...... the tablet instantly started installing the new ROM........NOOOOOOoooooooo..... I thought "I'll pull the card out.... it might not have started yet....."

Unfortunately the tablet is now completely unresponsive...... my PC bing-bongs when I plug it in to the USB...... a light comes on under the screen when I turn it on with a tf card in....... but nothing else.......

I have tried, Minimal ADB and Fastboot, but nothing (NOTHING) even sees or recognises that the tablet is there........

It cost £50....... is it possible I can get it to work again??? should i even bother.....

The location of the volume buttons.

Got a g5 today and been playing about with it for a couple of hours.

After coming from a g3 i am finding it difficult to get used to the location of the volume buttons.

On the g3 i really like the fact that i can easily change the volume through my trouser pocket as well as in hand where my finger naturally rests.

Has anyone else found this and have you got used to it?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] SHosp:
You get used to it

I've had the G2 and G4 and thought I would miss the volume buttons on the back but after a week, I don't feel like I am missing them.

With the volume on the left side, you can still take selfie photos pretty easily using the normal lens and Vol-Down. After learning how easily it was to catch your hand in the shot with the wide angle lens, I can totally see why they didn't put them on the back.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] lost_:
Does anyone have any insight on the difference beside the Tmo apps that can be download from Google Play? Some things that popped to mind that maybe cooked into the Tmo ROM: Wifi Calling, newly unveiled Enhanced Voice Services and VoLTE?

The Vegas unboxing video showed Des opening the app drawers that have only 1 full first page plus a few apps on the second page. I see T-mobile TV app and another magenta icon. It's very minimal, which is a good thing, but not sure how update- and developer-friendly will the T-mo version be though.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Behold_this:
As far as being developer-friendly, the T-Mobile version is no different than the carrier unlocked version. It's bootloader can be unlocked officially through HTC and thus can be modified to the same extent.

As far as updates, the unlocked version will get updates quicker than the T-Mobile version. This is simply because the updates will be coming from HTC and not need to go through T-Mobile carrier approval first.

Yeah pretty much. You'll be good to go. I can do this on my unlocked s7 edge but I don't get volte and wifi calling on tmobile because it's not baked into the international firmware
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Superguy:
The other advantage is you can use T-Mo's installment plans that aren't available thru HTC.

Updates may be slower as T-Mo has to bless them. At it's also unclear if HTC's uh-oh protection and bootloader allowance will carry over thru T-Mo.

You can make interest-free payments for 12 months when purchased through HTC.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] eichenberg:
two things

it says for well qualified purchases - so if you have less than perfect credit you wont get it

and it says no payments + no interest if paid within 12 months - unless you wait and make a $599+tax payment in month 12 you need to be making payments to avoid paying interest.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Behold_this:
It's true but if you read the fine print on T-Mobile's site for financing phones the best deals (zero down usually) say for well qualified buyers as well. Also why wouldn't you make monthly payments? I didn't say there was no monthly payments, I said it was interest-free for 12 months.

This is 6045K dual sim, no support for sdcard. Both positions on slot are for sim cards.

My problem are since the device are on initial power up, when I select power and vol+ at same time device becomes on a basic menu and on that stage I´m not able to enter adb commands. The only choice is enter on "adb sideload" but it fail in signature verification.

Any Ideas to workaround this issue?

i have a basic twrp menu, to wipe, install (form sd or from internal memory), and adb sideload.

Since device is not recognized to upload anything on internal memory and SD card is not available on this version (6045k dual dim). The only chance is use adb sideload, but it fails to uplodad firmware on signature authentication.

There is any way to upload something to internal memory in this stage? There is any firmware available that pass on adb sideload signature authentication. There is any tool to "format" device any install the basic and from there use Alcatel Mobile upgrade?

Again, Thanks for help me.

Ok you might try a micro usb thumb drive or a otg cable or card reader to get the files you need.

Newegg sells a usb/micro usb thumb drive that might work.

Not 100% but twrp should treat the drive just like a sd card.

If not you will have to flash a rom using a pc with the proper drivers.

If not detected by pc you will need more help.

Good luck.
