[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidman807:
Thanks. I've tried casting a broader net, unsure if my problem was Verizon-specific or not. Turns out, it's even more specific than that, as at least some 900Vs have unlocked bootloaders and some (mine) don't.

As I look back over my journey, you were there from the beginning when I was trying to upgrade from 4.4.2 to my current Lollipop and keeping root. Following the steps of the amazing [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] led to different problems, which still persist. There seems no way to fix that, from which I conclude the jrkruse stock ROM and this phone don't get along. Hence, the idea to try a different ROM other than this LL. It seems that my locked bootloader has me on stuck on this particular stock ROM if I want to keep root. There is no list of other ROMs I can put on this CID11, and I'm not sophisticated enough to know which I can try and Safestrap back safely if things aren't wonderful. This has me doing a hot reboot every day or two when I see wifi can't get DNS, but I don't see any other option other than buying a newer Galaxy with a microSD card and an unlocked bootloader (maybe the S8?). Regardless, this sums up my journey, I've learned a lot along the way, and both you and [MENTION=6928202]KazuDante[/MENTION] were extremely helpful and earned my Thanks button many many times. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidman807:
ps: I read the first ten pages of this thread about modems, but the first post strongly implies that they're not flashable with all the crossouts, which leaves with Odin, but if I'm reading it right one needs TWRP, which I don't have, only safestrap. If there's a different modem thread I should look at, or if should try the Odin ones, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. It seems I'm terrible at finding what I'm searching for in this info-rich site.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsc:
androidman807, which firmware (modem, kernel, bootloader) do you have and which do you want to have?

P.S. "Odin: (necessary for those with TWRP recovery)" means that a phone with TWRP has "Binary status: Custom" and there's no other way to update modem except Odin.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidman807:
Baseband : PB1

Build : PB1

Kernel : 3.4.0

At this point I'll take any rooted firmware that is stable and not sluggish with this phone, with ability to at least get back to this if it's a step backwards.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsc:
I think, if you have network problems with this phone, it will be the best to backup your data and try a factory firmware with full factory reset.

If you're currently on BPB1 you can try any firmware above (and including) BOK3 and return back to BPB1 if you don't like it.

Firmwares BOK3 and BPB1 (your current) can be rooted after installation.

If I remember correctly, you need root to use Titanium backup app.

But you may want first try if the network problems persist on different stock firmwares.

I'd begin with the latest - DQI2.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidman807:
Titanium is a big reason why I want to keep root. So BOK3 and DQI2 are ones I can root and still return to PB1. Thanks, I'll start looking for them and their rooting procedures.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsc:
No. I've written something different above.

You can flash BOK3 - DQI2 and return back after this. There're 14 firmwares.

But you can root only BOK3 and BPB1 from those 14 firmwares.

I advice you to flash DQI2 just to see if it solves network problems.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KazuDante:
You can flash modems using odin even if you dont have twrp , they made it that way for those who are not on stock firmwareand that have twrp for example those who are on nougat , instead of flashing back stock and redoo the whole thing all over again , so in the vzw section there is a thread that has all the latest modems ( i think qh2) , just download qh2 ( i used the non-hlos for 4g) and in odin use ap and select the downloaded tar(modem) and flash , phone has to be in download mode.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidman807:
Thank you. I was hot on the modem idea when I was going to switch to Lineage or something else as a natural step. But since it's tied to 4G and cell service and not my sporadic DNS-on-wifi issue, I'm not sure I see the benefit, but then I could be wrong. I figure a different ROM will have different drivers for the wifi radio and solve things. At least that's been my hope all along.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidman807:
Thank you! I will likely flash this with Odin over the weekend (or with SafeStrap?). I've found QI2 here, the first of the two links. Just to be prepared, what steps will I take to rooting this new ROM?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidman807:
Where can I find BOK3, and how do I root it after installation if I don't have TWRP (but only safestrap)?

Edit: here's OK3 with steps on how to root it, but they're quite scary and possibly outdated.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidman807:
Thanks again - I flashed with Odin the DQI2 I found but didn't know how to root it (Safestrap erased and no TWRP). Maybe the answer is the same as the other post I just replied to. That's obviously a blind spot I have that has me stuck on PB1 - I don't know how to root anything else on this CID 11. :(
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] IAmDisso:
So, this morning I awoke to find my phone in a bootloop.

No idea what caused it.

Here's a basic rundown of the problem:

1. Stuck on Huawei logo

2. Cannot shut down without it instantly trying to reboot again

3. Cannot enter recovery mode

4. Cannot boot into safe mode

5. Not rooted

6. ROM never flashed

7. Fastboot probably never configured

8. Not recognized by laptop over USB

So . . . is there anything I can do to this phone if I have neither a USB connection nor the ability to enter recovery mode?

edit: Finally managed to get phone to turn off after another failed attempt at trying to enter recovery mode. This time, the phone did not turn on again. I think my phone is finally bricked, after hours of sitting there refusing to turn off.

Maybe I missed the latest update.

If not , then the base ,my rom based on is the latest.

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] 2hot4tv:
Hello Guys,

today I got my Herald back form o2-Germany it was under repair for 2 months and a half.

First I thought everything works great but when I tried to start WiFi (wireless LAN) it switched off after about a second or two.

I tried 10 times but every time the same..

I did a hardreset twice but nothing happend.. automatically switch-off after a second!

Does anybody know what to do?

If it doesn't work I'm allowed to give it back to the shop and take the money or another mobile.

The only other smartphone I would buy now is the Orbit2 (HTC touch cruise) but i want a hardware keyboard.. but there is none but the Terra (Herald) in germany!

Is the Cruise as good as it is described?

Thanks a lot for your help and sorry for my bad english ;-)

Old files such as pictures and music disappears everytime I flash a new rom. Old Pictures are only accessible via quickpic or file explorers and no music player (except Poweramp) detects old songs too!

This only happens to files in internal storage!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] redzion:
I would like to have dual SIM at the same time as microSD in the phone.

So here is the question..

Did anybody tried this as seen doing on Galaxy S7 dual SIM?

http://c.mi.com/thread-179940-1-0.html

Also.. is the SIM which is on spot of microSD detected as SIM2 or SIM1?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vinumsv:
There are some mods which does this but careful not to break the sim slot

Here is that mod for Xiaomi phones

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...ender-Nano-SIM-Micro/1303100_32788674545.html
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ruffruff:
yes, i did that. I have exynos 64gb dual sim version. Previously did the same trick on my S7E. The only difference on Note8 is that i need to trim the sides of the SIM else the microSD can't lock down into the tray nicely. The SIM is detected as SIM2.

If it is your first attempt, ensure you have marked on your microSD card the position of the sim2 chip. I did it with superglue on my first microsd, and doublesided tape on my new microsd. I do not advise you to attempt to try with double sided tape if it is your first try. It is very tricky as the sim gets push out of position when you insert the tray into phone.

Here are some of my photos:

the following photos are taken using Onkyo DP-CM1X, not note 8

by the way, try at your own risk. I am not responsible if you break your sim, microsd or phone. ;)

I bought simore adaptor. Its better than chinese one as it does not hang. Using simore since two weeks & performs great as described.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] redzion:
But if I'm thinking correctly is better to use phone dual/modem as adapter on which you can use only one SIM at the same time..

Is that correct that you can use two phone lines at the same time and that you can choose simply from which SIM you will make phone call?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] redzion:
Do you have link to this adapter so that I check it..

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] emo99:
BTW at ebay you can find similar adapters at price about 1 € :)

Though I doubt that they are suitable for Note 8 ...

Almost all show 3.8 cm long (in "cable" - "bus") part.

I believe it is too long for Note 8....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ruffruff:
yes. you can either set a default call out sim or you can have the option to prompt you to select the line to dial out whenever you make a call.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] braveguy:
lets return to square one, which is the main subject of this topic.

how about using two sims and a sdcard WITHOUT ADAPTER option??

I used to have s7 edge and I did that modification mentioned by [MENTION=337556]ruffruff[/MENTION] on it. I used to use 2 sims and a sdcard flawlessly with that trick.

My concern is; when I checked note 8 sim card slot, the structure is a little bit different.

There are some little holders which holds the cards on contrary of s7 edge sim card slot. the structure on note 8 sim card slot is also thinner than s7 edge's sim card holder.

Ok we have a working example at the first page by [MENTION=337556]ruffruff[/MENTION], however I wonder if that trick works flawlessly in most users scenario?

thanks in advance for the replies.

Don't temper the microsd, just peel the copper part of simcard with some heat. Basically the copper and plastic simcard attached with some glue. Then apply double tape between copper simcard and microsd. Takes time to master, but here in Indonesia, simcard comes cheap. I break couples of them.
