I spoke to soon.

Ok I got back into twrp now ... and flashed my ROM but the phone just boots to the same start screen and freezes. Can not turn off have to do that other method to turn off. I have a backup but it is on my PC and I dont know how to get it onto my phone .... oh my ... what can I do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Misterjunky:
#1: go here and download [MENTION=4454815]jovy23[/MENTION] 's "Stock-Modified" kernel.

#2: Go into twrp recovery

#3: copy the kernel zip file into your internal sdcard

#4: In twrp recovery do an advanced wipe but un-check everything in advanced wipe except DATA

(you need to wipe only the DATA)

#5: flash the zip file kernel in twrp and reboot.

Your phone will no longer be stuck at the start screen.

Good luck!

Okay, I just added the kernel link, forgot to add it before......................................
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Thibor69:
OK UPDATE:

I got the phone to boot to download mode. I also have odin running. I went ahead and flashed tock_Modified_Kernel+Auto-Root-Busybox+TWRP-2.8.7.1_N920T.tar.md5 via Odin. It passed the instal/flash just fine, but now the phone just boots into download mode only.

So I am really no better off now, just a new set of problems.

PLEASE HELP ME. Im desperate. nothing is working. I will try anything at this point. Again I only have it booting to download and/or TWRP. I have Odin running and connected.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Thibor69:
I am sorry for all the posts here ... but I am really starting to worry that I might have bricked my $800 phone.

With the phone OFF I hit power button. Phone just boots to the Samsung Android screen (the very first screen) and just hangs there.

So I assume i have lost or messed up my kernal. I have wiped all and factory reset. I have tried flashing a new ROM, but it always just does the same thing...boot to that first screen and hang.

I can boot into TWRP (v2.8.x.x) and tried to flash a kernel from there. It seems to flash and complete, but after reboot again it hangs at that first screen.

I also can boot in download mode. I have played around with Odin a bit. I flashed

stock_Modified_Kernel+Auto-Root-Busybox+TWRP-2.8.7.1_N920T.tar.md5

and again

it completes the flash, but when I reboot it still hangs. Arghhhhh I am lost. I dont know what else I should try. I assume I need to flash something via odin but what .

Please help me if you can. I use this phone for work every day and have been without it now for 48 hours :(

Help !

John

PS... I HAVE A FULL WORKING INTERNAL BACKUP of my phone on my PC.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] johnny_chimpo:
I had the unlimited data plan from verizon single like. I upgraded to the tiered plan add a line 20 bucks more to get the promo buy an s7 get one free. Now my plan is changed but i still have unlimited data on my main line. I hope i did not make a mistake by changing my plan. I still have unlimited data. anyway after changing my plan the verizon guy told me i could not move my phones or in other words say give one to a friend to put on their account because verizon checks the imei number to make sure those phones stay with their perspective owners. I was told if i move or give my phone or even sell it i would loose my unlimited data. is this true.

so my questions are

1. did i make a mistake in changing my plan

2. is it true if i give a phone away and to a friend will i loose my unlimited data.
[Security Discussion] umirin:
I need to wipe two Android Phones that do not have the "encrypt" option. I am selling them very soon so this is important. One phone is running stock Gingerbread, the other is using a custom rom running ICS 4.04.

I attempted a secure wipe on the ICS phone by choosing every wipe option found in TWRP (dalvik, cache,etc), then I did 2 factory resets and flashed a NEW ROM after that. Guess what..? I used the free program "DiskDigger" on my PC and I found THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of recoverable files. FULL pictures, not just thumbnails; I found videos, I found zip files, I found voice recordings, I found music, and more!

There is no way in hell I can sell these phones until I know they are CLEAN of my information. What pisses me off is that with iPhone, it's as simple as pressing "Erase All Content And Settings". That takes maybe 5 minutes tops and it works on iPhone's as old as the iPhone 3GS! I thought custom flashing a new rom and wiping cache in TWRP would do the trick but NOPE.

Can anyone help me?
[Security Discussion] umirin:
An update for you... I downloaded these two apps and ran them on both phones. Here are the results...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pinellascodeworks.securewipe&hl=en - Secure Wipe

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aiuspaktyn.secureeraser&hl=en - Secure Eraser

On the stock Gingerbread phone, 3 photos were found by DiskDigger and I was able to preview them and recover them. Recuva found 20 files, the same 3 pictures, plus some overwritten garbage. I ran both apps AGAIN and got the same results, those same 3 photos were still there, intact. So what I then did was click on the photos in Recuva and selected "Secure Overwrite Checked". I ran the scans a THIRD time, Recuva first. It found 15 different files, 11 ignored all labelled as "unrecoverable" or "very poor". Only one photo was from before was found, but there was no preview. I recovered it, but no photo program could open it, so it looks to be successfully overwritten and corrupted.

On the phone running custom ROM ICS: I ran DiskDigger and it found 0 files; Recuva found 3 files after secure wiping. One was in "poor state" and two were in "excellent" state - a .bin file and .M file. I overwrote these files in Recuva and ran the scans a second time. DiskDigger found nothing, Recuva found 3, 14 ignored, all were "unrecoverable".

So I have some peace of mind now. Before running these Secure erase programs, DiskDigger found 99% of the contents on the phone that was running custom ROM ICS. So wiping dalvik cache, other cache, multiple factory resets, and flashing a new ROM did NOTHING!

If anyone has suggestions on other recovery programs, I will do a third check to put my mind at ease.
[Security Discussion] umirin:
Wow... very surprised that there is no discussion on this. Do people not care about about the security of their devices?
[Security Discussion] minimale_ldz:
General rule is basically no to sell your old devices and physically destroy them, if you care for privacy. A phone is no different to PC or any other piece of hardware here, so you're either aware of this and don't give/sell your stuff or don't care.
[Security Discussion] nutpants:
Destroying old equipment is pointless unless you are a career criminal avoiding the police or some other high profile person that a large organization with spend tones on resources on investigate.

Data breaches are far more likely from bad practices during ownership

Quality wipe apps with root access over writing old data multiple times is quite effective..

I'm talking about using the actual video calling that the AT&T network allows over their LTE network. That's what I'm talking about. It's built into the dialer.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jollywhitefoot:
That's never been available on any of the ATT branded HTC devices I've owned. Just VVM and Messages have been integrated in the dialers. What devices did you have video call integrated in? I've had the One Mini, the M8 and M9 all ATT branded.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] cauqazn:

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] droidiac13:
It was on Samsung. That's why I was wondering about the 10 :)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] datafoo:
You're actually talking about VoLTE ir94 which is the video calling standard AT&T rolled out (next generation VoLTE, standard is ir92).

I've spent 4 days tearing down xmls and working hands on with AT&T techs.

AT&T advanced features like VoLTE and HDVoice or Video calling appear to be firmware dependant and not simply plug/play. AT&T branded devices uses AT&T firmware which enables these features.

Now, that being said the firmware could already support this on the HTC 10 Unlocked, it could be an IMEI filter. Currently there is not an answer except that these features do not work.

**If anyone claims to have AT&T HDVoice and VoLTE working on their stock HTC 10 please PM me and send me your build.prop and default.xml from system/customize/ACC/default.xml. I may also need other files, I'll let you know.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jollywhitefoot:
Volte definitely works on my stock unlocked 10
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] datafoo:
In order to validate this I need the following:

Verify you're on AT&T postpaid.

Screenshot of your data settings showing "Enhanced 4G" in Settings>Mobile Data> - should be here -

I need a copy of the following files:

Stock, unaltered build.prop

The entire system/customize/ folder or at least the full contents of: customize/ACC/, customize/CID/, customize/clientid, customize/MNS/, customize/MNSprop

Honestly I thought for sure I had it, even checked my mobile data settings and had the "Enhanced 4G" setting but now it's gone and I can't get it back.

I've managed to edit back in a few settings including "Search for AT&T MicroCell" but can't get the enhanced 4G and my sim verifies it's VoLTE provisioned in the handset (from testing mode).

You'll be helping a bunch of us out if you or anyone can get me unaltered stock files from a working ROM.

EDIT: I may have the solution to fix this already but the files are still appreciated. I'll be testing tonight and report back. For some reason I think some of us aren't getting the default.prop provisioning correctly and it's not enabling the proper RIL features.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] droidiac13:
Voice over LTE is in the call settings.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] datafoo:
Lol I'm aware of this, it should be and as I said i'd swear it was in mine. It was the first thing I verified when I stuck my new SIM in :)

After unlocking and reflashing back my stock system image I can't get my handset to provision correctly so I no longer have the feature.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] droidiac13:
Sorry man, I thought in step 2 you were looking for setting under data. This is what I have under mobile data.

I have fought like hell to get Volte working on my M9 running mashmallow (even the stock dev edition) and could NEVER get it to work. Anyway...that said...you don't believe me??? files are attached.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jollywhitefoot:
Here are the files. I hope my "proof" was enough. lol.

Oh and I'm on a regular old monthly voice and data plan. Something like unlimited minutes and 15GB data/month.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] datafoo:
Fantastic!

You know how it is, it's not that I needed proof per se, but that is not even where I was looking for the enhanced 4g toggle! (thank you!!)

For some reason my handset doesn't provision properly and it's bugged. You're helping myself and others a ton as we all know I won't be the only one with this issue.

Cheers!

EDIT: 1 other dumb*ss question: How did you trigger the screenshot on the 10?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jollywhitefoot:
The setting to enable volte toggle is in acc/default.xml. One of the last items under phone is volteEnableImsToggle. Needs to be set to true then reboot. See screen shot below when it's dry to false there is no option to toggle vote.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] datafoo:
I owe you several.....

I've spent 2 days pouring over A9 and M9 XMLs, build.prop's looking for the issue.

I've been able to enable other features but not VoLTE. I've tried all various combinations:

<item type="string" name="volte_eab_operator_behavior">not_specified</item>

<item type="boolean" name="voLteEnableAutoDomain">false</item>

<item type="boolean" name="voLteEnabled">false</item>

<item type="boolean" name="voLteEnableImsToggle">true</item>

<item type="boolean" name="voLteEnableMultitasking">false</item>

<item type="boolean" name="voLteForbidSsDuringE911">true</item>

Do you happen to know which MNSprop file is the one for ATT? 31060 or 31180?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jollywhitefoot:
Yeah, it's cool. I know how it is. You've been working on it and banging your head against the wall and you're rightfully skeptical that we were talking about the same thing.

Screenshot is power+home button (fingerprint scanner).

Are you sure volte is a) enabled on your account and b) that you're in a volte calling area? If it's not enabled on the account, I'm not positive if the toggle will do anything to enable it. Also, to test, I always call my voicemail or some other AT&T number, like 411. If you're in a volte area those calls should ALWAYS go through volte. Also, to further test, go into phone information (*#*#4636#*#*) and set calls for LTE only (see screenshot in my first post). If the call can't go through volte it will just disconnect. That's how you can tell my call in the first message screenshot was volte (call duration would not have gotten to 0:06 - it would have disconnected at 0:00). Don't forget to change this setting back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE when you're done testing or everyone who calls you will get your voicemail if volte isn't working or is unavailable.

Another discovery...volte isn't working on Lee Droid at the moment. I think AT&T uses different telephony.apk than the WWE base uses. Also, I believe you need to be on the 617 (US Unlocked variant) firmware, but I have not tested with the 401 firmware yet (and I won't until there is a full RUU available).

Finally, can you see if call forwarding is working for you? Go into Settings>call>GSM call settings>Call Forwarding. Do numbers show up or do they all stay as disabled? I have found that call forwarding and volte kind of go hand in hand, although on my M9, I have been able to get call forwarding working when volte still would not.

---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------

I have no idea about this. A9 and M9 didn't have those files to my knowledge.

On a related note...It could be your sim. Honestly, I know that sounds like classic CSR bs, but it's true. Older sims do not support volte. I got my wife the A9 in november and used her sim from her iphone 5. volte and call forwarding would not work, but she didn't care about that stuff, so I never worried about it. For some reason a few weeks ago, I decided to try and get it working and went to the ATT store and got her a new sim and after one reboot, volte and call forwarding worked immediately.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] datafoo:
Lesson learned!

Yes. to both.

I have the same screenshot from testing showing VoLTE SIM provisioned.

I went into my core store and swapped my SIM with their Demo A9, made calls on VoLTE.

Changed my IMEI on my account to the same A9 demo unit for front end provisioning (not back end, that's network, SIM based).

Originally I had VoLTE (see my notes below).

I know causation<>correlation. I had VoLTE before unlocking and s-off my handset, now I can't get it to work.

Are you Dev converted? S-off?

I'm going to do the firmware/system upgrades tonight and hope for the best.

I've manually edited my build.prop for both 310160 + tested 311180, neither get me the feature setting in the phone.

Even if I can't use the service, the option should show in my phone as my SIM is provisioned (just like your screenshot).

Call forwarding is working on my handset, I use google voice and manually forward the calls in the settings.

You're right, could be. This is a brand new SIM 4EFF or whichever. I came from an M7 and used a micro-sim before nano so had to get a new SIM.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jollywhitefoot:
No, I'm not dev converted. It's the original US Unlocked version. Yes, I am s-off. Basically fully stock except I rooted and flashed Lee Droid for about an hour last night. Went back to stock last night and took the OTA today.

Good luck with the OTA. If you have trouble, Captain Throwback has posted a download with the entire updated system zip that you can flash in download mode. http://xdaforums.com/htc-10/how-to/...ry-ruu-ota-t3359297/post66790169#post66790169
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] datafoo:
My bad, that's what I meant by "Dev". IMO if you're s-off you're basically a dev edition.

I'm going to restore back to factory and flash the OTA. I may have weird carrier partition corruption or something that the firmware update should fix.

really appreciate your help and feedback. I remember talking with you about your M9 in another thread, it's frustrating for sure.

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------

Well it's working now :)

I reflashed the stock boot and system images, reflashed the OEM recovery for 1.21.617.3, did a "factory reset" and booted.

Once fully booted and walked through basic setup I inserted my SIM.

It restarted 1x then walked me through my carrier choice.

First check, "Enhanced LTE" is available and a 611 call goes through on LTE.

Going to drill this down further. Thanks for you help and now back to tweaking my XMLs for fun features.

Thanks for the reply. I'm on tmobile and don't see the volte option in call settings so I thought going through those options would help but don't seem to have....
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jollywhitefoot:
You're saying you can't find the toggle for Enhanced call service > Voice over LTE?

Are you using the US Unlocked variant of the phone? Are you 100% stock? Rooted?

That should be enabled by default, so I'm wondering if you're rooted, you may have changed something in the ACC/default.xml file.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] trevb87:
100% stock, put Sim in and turned on phone...

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] NICG:
Works for me, after swapping my sim had to call ATT to provision the device change to my account. I only know because it wouldn't let me set up call forwarding. Its a work number so I can't do much but my work phone was an Iphone so VoLTE was turned on already. But I do know its 100% working for me on stock.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] trevb87:
Find an att Sim to pop in and that fixed the problem like everyone said. Put att Sim in restarted, put tmobile Sim back in and restarted and volte and wifi calling options are both there now. Thanks for the help

Thank You For Sharing

Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for sharing your method for restoring VOLTE it was driving me crazy and at the same time miserable that my new 2 day old phone was not working correctly. Interesting thing that happened while I was doing somewhere in the neighborhood of 16-20 flashes. I also thought I would try going back to 1.21.617.3 and taking the two OTAs. Well my VOLTE was fine on 1.21.617.3 and the first small camera update installed with no problem. However when it went to download update 1.53.617.5 a box popped up and said the file system maybe corrupt please contact HTC and the update then stopped before it started. Anyway after I was stopped from taking the OTA I just flashed the 1.53.617.3 update and now update just says there are new updates. Anyway thanks again for sharing your solution to the VOLTE problem. :D
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] datafoo:
I know what you mean, lost days, many flashes and prop XML edits trying to sort it out.

To clarify for others:

Switching network SIMs can reset the provisioning.

1st boot after any flash or reflash : boot WITHOUT SIM and walk through basic setup.

Once fully booted, then insert SIM.

It should provision properly at this point.

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has benchmarked their storage cards using SKtools ?

I have a 1GB Toshiba microSD and SKtools shows that the average

Read is about 10000KB/s while write is incredibly slow at 200Kb/s

The card is currently formatted using default specs (FAT). I tried formatting at FAT32 before at 8K cluster size but write speed was even slower than ... 60KB/s.

I plan to upgrade to 80x MicroSD but not sure if it will make any difference.

Any advice or figures to share as well ?
