Verizon CDMA phones (Fascinate for one)

Pulled from May 31st, 2017 headline posted by AndroidCentral in my RSS Feed. So even for us diehard Fassy users, the end is coming for connectivity, at least through verizon.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Verizon's upcoming CDMA sunset

Verizon doesn't want to use its CDMA network anymore. It has confirmed that it hopes to effectively shut down the old network by the end of 2019. Once it does so, the remaining spectrum and towers currently in use for CDMA (which have been dramatically scaled back in recent years already) can be repurposed for other uses as Verizon turns LTE into its baseline network and moves on to 5G deployment.

For most people using Verizon today, CDMA might as well not exist. Its LTE network covers 98% of the country. As of Q1 2016, 92% of its network traffic was traveling over LTE — and remember that includes some legacy devices that only use CDMA. So there's a dramatically small (and decreasing) number of places without LTE coverage, and surprisingly close to 100% of network traffic by LTE-capable devices is running on the modern network.

Even if your phone has a CDMA radio, chances are you don't actually use it anymore. When your phone has an LTE connection available, it will use it for both data and calls across Verizon's network — other times, you may be using Wi-Fi calling. In 2017, CDMA offers a suboptimal experience — only to be relied upon when there is no other option. Yes those places where CDMA is the only option do still exist, but Verizon clearly doesn't think they'll be around much longer.

Reason says that it won't be long, then, before Verizon itself stops selling smartphones that have CDMA radios in them. Including the old technology for a network that won't exist in the reasonable lifespan of the phone (roughly two years from sale) doesn't make sense from multiple perspectives. Having a CDMA radio requires extra licenses and technology (read: money spent) in smartphones, and just continues to sustain a user base of people who will have a device capable of using a network that will soon no longer be available.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuacher:
Heyas. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm trying to refresh an old Galaxy Tab (GT-P1000) for my son. Not the first time I've done this but the first time I've hit a deadlock.

I've reviewed the [Guide]How to unbrick your galaxy tab. Not helping unfortunately.

Background:

I've installed TWRP (CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.tar) on the device using ODIN. Installed OK. Booted into the OS fine afterwards.

I copied the firmware (cm-13.0-20160519-UNOFFICIAL-p1.zip) and GAPPS from the microsd card to the /download folder as I've had issues seeing the card from the recovery app.

Booted into recovery - did a system, data and dalvik cache wipe. Installed the CM13 image and rebooted. The message I got was:

failed to mount '/system' (invalid argument)

failed to mount '/data' (no such device)

In an attempt to fix the mount issues I reflashed including a PIT. Now nothing is mounting - I'm guessing I've blown away the partitions.

I can get to the Clockwork recovery application but I can't flash from the SD card as it needs a file system to mount to I'm guessing.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to begin troubleshooting this?

If I try to reflash using ODIN, a PIT file and GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar

ODIN zips through till it gets to:

<ID:0/004> factoryfs.rfs

At which point it seems to hang up.

eventually ODIN times out with a Fail message. If I reboot I get the soft brick logo of the mobile and PC with the yellow triangle. From this point I can reflash Clockwork Recovery Mod (CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.tar) and get to the download screen again if need be.

I just don't seem to be able to get a working OS up.

I'm thinking about selling my Nexus 6P and going back to a HTC M9 because of price and (as silly as it may sound) the 3.5mm headphone jack placement. However, I need to run MM because everything that I want working for one reason or another, just works.

I can't remember what ROM I was running when I had my M9, but if someone could link me to some good ones I would appreciate it. I'd rather not run Sense, so any AOSP based ROMs are welcomed.

sammobile.com/firmwares/download/114376/G9350ZHU2APK2_G9350BZH2APK2_TGY

Currently running Android 6.0.1, I would like to upgrade it to Android 7, this has already been released but I have not received an OTA update, supposedly this is because it's the Injustice Batman Edition. My question is am I able to flash the below firmware on to my device?

I don't care about losing the Batman theme.. But also don't want to break my phone.

[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] suarezj:
Hello everyone

2 days ago I received the message that finally the update for my device was available, specifically NPJ25.93-14, the download was made and proceeded to install, the installer only advanced very little and failed the installation, I check the recovery log And so I could understand the installation script failed because I did not find the expected base version:

Verifying Current System

script aborted: Error E3002:

Packaged expects build thumbprint of 7.0/NPJ25.93-14/16:user/release-keys or

6.0.1/MPJ24.139-48/48:user/release-key; this device has 6.0.1/MPJ24.139-64/65:user/release-key

E:Error in @/cache/recovery/block.map

I would appreciate your help in analyzing the cause of failure in the installer and how I can solve it to perform the installation of the update successfully.

Thank you
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] lerg96:
what the.., i don't know why the log says " 6.0.1/MPJ24.139-64/65" if you really have 48. So.. maybe you can reinstall your rom
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] suarezj:
In fact I did, reinstall the firmware using the official provided by motorola.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] lerg96:
did you install in the past a -64 rom?

Maybe if you had 64 previously and you tried to install 48 it really was not installed correctly because it was a downgrade

There is not a ota for -64 that you can use for nougat around the forum?
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] tekweezle:
like many of us, I have a rooted, bootloader unlocked retus xt1625 with TWRP installed. Has anyone been able to get the nougat update to install? My version is MPJ24,139-49

I tried to run the update and it booted into my twrp recovery. But I got the same message as above

Does some sort of downgrade need to happen allow it to accept the update?
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] suarezj:
honestly I can't ensure if the phone had a firmware version 64 or not, i've changed firmware 2 times, both firmware were stock Motorola.

I'm going to check my computer, I sure leave a copy of the firmware that I installed at that moment and I'll be able to check the version

*******************************************************************************************************

Following the recommendation, perform a firmware download provided by motorola again, I did a clean installation again and the result is exactly the same again, the motorola website indicates that the version is 64, but the phone still indicates is The installed version is 48. Assuming I could have done a dowgrade from 64 to 48, the question is, is there a way to correct this?
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] lerg96:
well buddy, really i can't tell you. Maybe you can try forcing a update downloading the ota and changing the line that verify your rom in the zip file. If you're in the correct build version for the update maybe you can have a success update

For all this process you need TWRP, because the stock recovery verify if the zip file is signed. (Motorola and i are not responsible for any damage)
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] suarezj:
Finally solved

Well, I've finally been able to resolve the problem with the firmware update, how? simple .. :D

1.- Download a firmware for the version of my phone, I decided on the 64 version due to the inconsistency that my phone had between what the updater detected and the build that the phone reported as installed. My objective was not to downgrade

I did not want to make firmware downgrade

https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto%20G4%20%28Plus%29/Stock/XT1625-XT1644_ATHENE_RETUS_MPJ24.139-64_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

2.- I did the installation using the fastboot method

fastboot oem fb_mode_set

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin

fastboot flash oem oem.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase customize

fastboot erase clogo

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

fastboot reboot

3.- When the phone reboot after the installation check the compilation version and the inconsistency had disappeared. Check if there were pending updates and yes, had one. Download and install without problems.

Thank you all for your time and collaboration. :good:

I have been on a plain rooted 4.1.2 rom for years. I now need to update for a couple apps I use to work. Can someone give me some brief feedback and point me in the right direction so I can update my phone without locking the bootloader?

I like the plain set up I have now, so maybe I just need to update to the highest version without locking BL. Thanks.

CM is dead. The leftovers rose from the ashes as Lineage OS.

Look them up. Pretty stable.

Jump straight into Marshmallow or Nougat. I'm still on CM12.1 Lollipop, but the newer stuff should work fine. There are threads for all of it, so do good reading before you start.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bullet Saloon:
Thanks for answering my thread. I haven't messed around with my phone in years. I guess what you're saying is since I've never took the OTA 4.3, I can load an advanced CM without locking my bootloader.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kgor93:
I just played with the S8 and S8 plus at Best Buy.

-Initial thoughts are that it's blazing fast. Any hint of lag is gone gone gone gone. IMO I thought the Exynos S7 was the fastest phone I've ever used, but this is faster.

-Not a fan of the new UI though. Tbh, I think it's stupid that they have you swipe-down from the top to access the app drawer when it's ALWAYS been the opposite. Hopefully there will be an option to disable that.

-Also it's only a 0.4" difference in screen size between the S8 and S8+, but you would never think that. The S8+ just looks soooo much bigger. It's not hard to hold but the screen is huge and I love it.

-More bloatware :( Not sure if this will carry over to the final version, but Samsung's crap was everywhere on that phone and very annoying.

-I'm still not sure what the button below the volume rocket does.

I was going to install antutu and geekbench and other benchmarking apps to run benchmarks for you all but Samsung's retail mode limits your privileges. So I wanted to ask your help for a workaround. Surely someone has figured out a way to install apps to the in-store display phone. I tried to reboot it into Download mode, so I could then get it into recovery and maybe reset the phone. Wouldn't reboot to DL mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] FluxionFluff:
That button below the volume button? That's for Bixby, Samsung's new Virtual Assistant. From what I know, you can't reconfigure that button. Maybe it'll change upon launch, but no idea....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] teegunn:
I played with the S8 and S8+ in Best Buy yesterday for about an hour. The bixby button doesn't work as Bixby wasn't fully functional yet. They did have the demo mode where they showed some of what Bixby can do.

I do use google now "ok google", but it is just as easy to long press the home button IMHO. It is not a big deal to me if bixby or ok google works with the AOD, etc.

I also thought there was a big difference in feel from the S8 and S8+. I had my S7edge with me to compare - the S8 was smaller than the S7 Edge in hand. The S8+ was bigger, but mostly just taller. The width was almost exactly the same as the S7edge. I will be getting the plus, my GF I will be getting her the S8 regular. She uses an S5 now and the S8 regular was about the same size as the S5.

My daughter, who uses an older iphone, was very impressed with the S8 and S8+. The demo of Bixby impressed her. The phone is such a leap forward from her 4.7" iphone it was like a commodore 64 next to a top of the line laptop - night and day. But that's what tech does - and it's moving ever faster. The S8, and this falls Note 8, are groundbreaking in bringing an almost full front display and curved edges completely mainstream. cRapple has been playing catch up for quite a while now. Good thing they have great marketing and most of the media bought off, because they have been following the leader for several years now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kgor93:
I have the S7 Edge as well. Did you feel like the S8 was faster also? Even with all the bloat it was buttery smooth and blazing fast.

I think I'm going to go with the S8+. It's only a 0.4" difference in screen size but it feels like so much more.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BarryH_GEG:
The difference between the two display area wise is pretty pronounced.

In terms of overall screen area the S8+ has almost 15% more than the S8. Here's a table comparing the two S8's screen area to each other and other phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ilordvader:
Nope

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OhE4F0tqX0
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] teegunn:
Yes, the S8 was very fast. Although my Note 7 and now S7 Edge are very fast. My old Note 4, which has had a LOT of use and could use a factory reset - it feels slower compared to the S7/Note7 and S8. I am not concerned about speed. Bloat can be frozen with package disabler pro. The Note 7 and now my S7 Edge are the first phones I have not had rooted. Obviously because you basically can't get full working root on them. Root does help in uninstalling bloat, but I think at this point these phones are so fast that it is not a concern.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k.aalai:
Hi all!

Im in a bit of an unknown scary situation for me:eek:

S6 edge, updated to nougat, rooted with the twrp Magisk method. All went fine.

Went to update the SUperSU binary from the app, and selected the twrp method.

Phone went into recovery, and started the flash. Now its been stuck for ages on "skipping MD5 check, no MD5 file found"

Buttons dont do anything (power button just shuts down the screen, and combination buttons takes screenshots), the lock screen and swype work, and the progress bar is blue and moving.....

What do I do? No idea how to restart, or exit recovery...

All the threads I checked, talk about failed rom installs, and re flashing the rom or the recovery, but I cant even get out of recovery to restart the phone or go into download mode

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k.aalai:
Update!

After the panic of being stuck without a phone, and waiting for the phone to run out of battery, I kept googling and found out that I can restart twrp by holding Power and Vol Down for about 10 seconds.

It rebooted back into twrp menu, I restarted into system, and all seems ok!

From what I have understood so far, magisk does not need SuperSU, is that correct?

PHEW!

Leaving this here, in case it helps someone in the future!
