[Note 7 Questions & Answers] gyozaman:
Just an update to my original post : I received another call from Samsung today, so it looks like they are keeping their promise on calling me over and over to return the phone. The caller id is 855-747-6520. This time the caller was male and much friendlier. I asked if he was a Samsung employee and he said yes. He asked me if I returned my phone yet and I asked him to read the notes on my account. He chuckled as the notes must be quite funny. I then asked if there were plans to block IMEI and he said no, which kind of make sense as calling owners is an effective way to keep asking us to return the phone. I then asked if there was a deadline for refund and return and he said no. I then asked him to write down notes requesting not to keep contacting me as my response will be the same and will not change, and that I will keep the phone until the S8 comes out. He said he understands and thanked me to taking the call :)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Bellmont:
If I get a call, I'll remind them that the recall is "voluntary."
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] whoofit:
If I get a call I will simply remind them one time that I am in no contractual obligation to return the device to them. I have not done business with Samsung directly. Verizon has refunded all my money for the phone including sales tax and will no longer be charging me for it monthly.

Then I will proceed to block the number they are calling from and continue to enjoy my completely free Note7.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2me3:
I have a pre-recall original shield tablet LTE that has not been updated to any stock rom since the recall.

I RMA'd it and never sent it in, so its likely on NVIDIA's kill-list however I havent run anything with tegraota since booting the replacement.

The newer system images have various modem and firmware adjustments I dont believe are on custom roms.

Q.

My radio is buggy on both tablets, neither have gone past early 5.1.1, do newer system images have more reliable radios/modem firmware? (LTE connection/data drops etc)

Is there a chance my RMA'd device's serial is in the newer firmware and set to kill it on boot?

Can older OTA updates downgrade the modem/etc?

Are there any other changes I should consider (besides root) before booting a newer official update?

Bootloader is only unlocked on one.

______________________________________________________________________________________

I've combed the threads on XDA/google and haven't found a direct answer to these questions and I think the ramifications of firmware updates accompanying OTA's should be clearly understood by the greater community. Thanks!
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2me3:
did the update on the replacement, saw a huge increase in battery life and the modem appears to work much more reliably, i havent tested speeds yet. the notegraota.zip failed to remove tegraota from /system/priv-app/ i had to do it manually via twrp. i might do some side by side benchmarks with the pyro as im a bit worried a hidden killswitch list in the new firmware killing before it can even reach the net.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2me3:
ive noticed that although the modem is more reliable (less connection drops) it no longer connects to LTE, i can switch sims to my pyro tablet and it jumps right onto band 4 LTE.

No matter how many airplane mode toggles or reboots, I cant get the updated tablet to connect to any LTE band. I've even left it running over night with a script toggling airplane mode and logging any LTE connection, no dice.

Is there anyway to downgrade the modem?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] john7760:
Can you root using Boot-to-Root with build version NDE63V? I tried and was stuck in a permanent boot. If not do I need to flash an old factory image first? Thanks in advance
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cam30era:
What command did you use in fastboot? Was it fastboot flash boot-to-root? Or fastboot boot boot-to-root?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
Never use fastboot flash boot-to-root.img as you will bootloop.

ALWAYS use fastboot boot boot-to-root.img to root. Make sure you have downloaded the correct img from Chainfire's post.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] john7760:
I'll give that a try I may have inadvertently done just that. Many thanks
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] john7760:
How long did it take for your first boot? Seems like it is taking forever but don't want to cut it off short
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
It will take a few minutes vs the normal time.

You may be screwed up, however, and will have to follow the adb sideload procedure (THIS WILL NOT ERASE DATA) to right yourself before trying to root again:

Please reboot to the bootloader (Hold Power and Volume Down while powering on the phone)

Use the volume keys and choose recovery

At the No Command screen hold power and while holding power press and hold volume up for about 5 seconds, let go of volume up and power and it should take you to recovery.

At the top it will give you the Build number Example: NDE63X

Go https://developers.google.com/android/ota and download the OTA that matches your build number

Copy the zip file to the same folder ADB is in

Choose Update from ADB in recovery

Open command prompt on your pc

enter

adb sideload name_of_ota.zip

Replace name_of_ota with the correct file name.

And make sure your ADB is up to date with the Android SDK Manager!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] john7760:
Thanks for the help. I tried like 30 times to get it to start the recovery menu to sideload the OTA file without any luck. I gave up flashed stock image and relocked bootloader. Maybe one day I'll try again or if anyones in the Allentown, PA area hit me up

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeivaAU:
Hiya,

I've flashed a few ROM's on my HTC One m8 over the past 6 months, all the SkyDragon One m8 ROM. I first installed v2. v4 came out and I had issues on it, reinstall, still had issues so I went back to v2. I reinstalled v2 again last week because I was getting weird issues with the phone with the speakers not working, Wifi etc.

So I don't have ROOT anymore, certain APPS crash upon launch, others say "Insufficient permissions" (Camera etc.), also can't access my old files in Android but I can in TWRP (not too fussed if I lose them though). When I connect the phone to my PC (with HTC tools installed), it still won't allow me to put files onto my phone other than Picture or Music.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] stuck:
Hi fellas,

Hoping to get some direction on my problem. My HTC One was flashed to T-Mobile or some GSM version couple of years ago. Now I've tried to flash it back to Sprint, following directions from here, it didn't work, now I can only get to the bootloader on my HTC One that shows Tampered, Relocked, S-On.

When I tried to flash the rom files using instruction on that page, I get

(bootloader) Read zipped android_info fail
Failed (status read failed (Too many Links))

I tried to use RUU update tool, it shows my current Non-sprint rom version is: 4.06.651.4 then tries to update to 1.29.651.10, which then fails...

Can someone point me in the right direction on what steps I need to take to correctly flash a stock (or any Sprint) rom on this?

Thank you in advance...

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] philohtc:
Hey guys! I´ve got my 10 S-off'ed and model changed from HTC__060 (Indian) to HTC_001 (WWE), re-locked bootloader and tried to run RUU but get error 155 (latest RUU http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...17.2.exe?_ga=1.123429256.280992434.1479770968 ).

I'm currently on 1.95.400.3 , I´m trying to run RUU as it's the easiest way to get everything back to stock. MID was and stills being 2PS620000 . Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! ;)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] philohtc:
btw I assume I won't get any radio issues, am I right?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] yldlj:
I duno why ypu would relock bootloader but anyways the RUU you are trying to flash is for US devices. Seeing you changed cid to WWE you need the latest x.xx.401.x RUU. it can be found in a zip you can rename the zip to 2PS6IMG.zip and place on external sd card, boot to downlaod mode and follow the prompts. Atm i dont think the latest is available but just flash the newest you can find then take the ota.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] philohtc:
Yeah i'll try that, what about radio? Won't vary or give trouble?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] yldlj:
The radio is included in RUU. I dont know if your network will be effected or not, you will have to find out yourself. You can flash a different radio if need be.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] andybones:
you can always flash the HTC__060 radio.img after the International RUU (1.xx.401.x) and see if that gives you service.

I know for Verizon, we can flash the US Unlocked RUU (1.xx.617.x) and then the latest Verizon radio.img and it gives working service.

I would:

1) flash latest .401 RUU

2) boot and see if you have service

3) if not boot to download mode and:

fastboot flash radio HTC__060_radio.img
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] philohtc:
Finally ended up booting into download mode setting cid to BS__001 and set MID 2PS650000 before running US Unlocked/ Developer RUU. I can only get 3.5G (also called as H+ or 4G). But I'm not able to get LTE. I'm from Argentina (South America), and my M9 from T-Mobile works great on LTE. Now on the HTC 10 I'm actually on 1.96.617.20. Any thoughts? As I runned that RUU I would see no reason on flashing Verizon radio, I'm I right? Thanks!
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] andybones:
I think you are correct, but I have no idea. I would flash a ROM such as Viper, Leedroid, Ice, etc.. and choose T-Mobile. This will add into the ROM the necessary components to help get you LTE. Right now you are on the RUU Stock US Unlocked 1.96.617.20 ROM, so it isn't going to fully support T-Mobile.

(What is your carrier? Why do you ask about flashing Verizon radio? Only flash Verizon radio if you are on Verizon network)

--It sounds as though you are on T-Mobile network, so first step flash ROM that supports T-Mobile as mentioned above, and if need, we can try flashing the T-Mobile radio.img next.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] philohtc:
Hey! My M9 was debranded from T-Mobile to Dev Edition. And still worked like a charm. I'm on Movistar Argentina, LTE bands here are AWS 4 and band 28. Don't see the reason it ain't working to be honest, maybe a config problem? First time I ever buy an European variant.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] yldlj:
You may not get those bands because of hardware. I think this has been mentioned before especially with band 28
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] philohtc:
I thought of following this guide http://xdaforums.com/one-m9/general/how-to-change-network-bands-gsm-devices-t3135401 maybe it's locked? Thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coleus:
Dear all,

I bought the 2016 version of the Samsung Tab A (10.1), t580, in China, because I live here. I always managed to install the Google components on any Android-device I bought here (services, framework, store, etc). This time it just won't work, play service always crashes. I managed to add an account but always got the RH-01 error from the store.

I tried so many combinations of versions and still nothing works. 434 should be the services version code (6.0.1, armeabi-v7a, 240dpi). I also tried the Google installer, it produces a parse error when installing the services. I tried old versions, new versions, shaking the tablet, etc. Btw, I use VPN and can connect to the world from here.

My question is: can anyone tell me the version numbers that are working on their device? Maybe I can reproduce the correct environment.

Thank you very much!
