Hi 1oldmike,

I have a SM-903W and I've had that problem before also. What I did is I rebooted back nto TWRP and did an advanced wipe and I wiped everything off of the phone. I then plugged the phone into my computer, copied over the rom, gapps and magisk. I flashed the rom first, then I went back and installed OpenGapps and Magisk, wiped the cache and rebooted. My SIM chip was detected on boot and everything was fine.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crike:
I recently sold a used N7105 on eBay. The buyer informs me the GPS isn't working.

Keep in mind I myself cannot physically inspect the device or modify the software, the phone is in another country now. I might have to walk the buyer through troubleshooting so the simpler the procedures, the better.

Is there a simple way to verify whether the issue is hardware or software?

If it is hardware:

- are there any connectors that should be checked to ensure the GPS module is attached correctly to the motherboard?

- what module might need to be replaced?

If it is software:

- what is the most effective way to proceed?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Did you check the GPS function before shipping?

Was it running a stock ROM when it was shipped to the buyer?

Is it possible that the buyer did something to the phone?

Inspection of the internal components requires separating the screen from the rear housing which can be tough to do without making worsening the phone's current condition as the rear housing is glued to the LCD frame.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crike:
I never noticed any issues, but I didn't have the phone for long and I don't frequently use applications that make a point of relying on GPS. That said, I have a good impression of the buyer. Friendly and comfortable with technology.

As to needing to pry the screen off, do you mean detaching the mid-frame? As far as I know the GPS components are a chip on the main board and a piece of copper in the mid-frame. Removing the mid-frame exposes both components with just a little patience.

That said, how do I check whether the issue is hardware or software? I guess flashing the device might answer the question and solve that issue, but if I understand correctly sometimes settings can remain borked even through a flash.

Trafalgar, I'd appreciate your guidance here.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Since the buyer is comfortable with technology, maybe ask him or her to factory reset it again and try to get a signal; otherwise, the phone functions properly?

Prying off the rear frame may not be very easy. I've changed the sim tray and LCD on a few Note 2 phones; however, I recently tried to change the sim tray on the Note 2 and wound up damaging the LCD in that it I could hear the sounds and touches worked but the screen remained black. I swapped out the screen and everything was fine again.

Hi everybody.

I really need to get an old phone working, since my LG G5 is having issues with the GPS sensor and I need to send it to LG to be repaired.

The phone I'm trying to turn on is a Huawei Ascend G525; it does not power on, and when I connect it to my PC it is detected as qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008.

I have no idea about how to repair it, i guess I would need at liste the IMG file of the firmware but didn't find it so far, I just found and UPDATE.APP file that I cannot handle.

Would you please give me any hint? Thanks a lot!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] koalaleader:
Hello. I'm looking to root my phone. I have an SM-G950U on android oreo and I'd like to know if I can downgrade to nougat 7.0 and root at the same time with a cf-auto-root package from firmware.mobi

Will there be any side effects? Is it possible to downgrade and root an sm-g950u at the same time with that package? (I selected the cf-auto-root option) If not, is there any other way I can get root access on my device? sorry for the noob question :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] chrissss1:
No

I

Samdung s8 U version is using a snapdragon Soc or cpu ( idk) and all snapdragon samsung s8 and s8+ have their bootloader locked.. ( imagine ur bios patition for ur pc (sort of))

so with a locked bootloader which u cannot unlock ure stuck with official samsung upgrades..

this locked bootloader also locks u from downgrading.. meaning ure stuck with oreo.. theres no way back..

trying to force to erase ur samsung oreo to clean the partition to manually install android 7 will brick your phone ( where as theres no way to install another software on a phone that has no connection with hardware,basically ull have some metal and glass componnents... a dead phone..nothing can be done after) ..

Just wait a couple of months till Samsung hopefully fixes some oreo bugs.

Also rooting isnt possible at the moment with samsung s8 and s8+
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sashUser_2:
Hi, I created this thread because I have solved the problem of the 4g at the time of losing my "moto g5 imei".

Just installed the "dotos rom v2. 2" 06/05/2018, I went into the bootloader, did the respective backup (currently at H +), and entered modem commands in fastboot mode, all this with the 64 twrp, say because I have read that he has to go to twrp's 32 " , but no, I didn't do it, well, at the time of start the rom again because you will have 4 g, well that was my case, I don't know if it will work with some of you, perhaps to serve them, my specific model is the xt1670.

Anyway here are the steps:

1 -- Get a backup of the file "EFS" (currently with H +), to me only appears me with the 64-bit TWRP '

2 -- Install the rom "dotOS v2.2 - 20180506 ", if you don't have any rom with android 8.1, install first the TWRP 64 and then the rom "dotos".

3 -- Once installed restart mobile to bootloader, and do not change anything.

4 -- Just enter via adb fastboot commands:

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot reboot

5 -- Will restart automatically, and you will already have the 4 g network.

6 -- Finally performs a backup of the file "EFS" 4g.

POSSIBLE PROBLEM...

Lack say something, possibly the "imei sv" is set to 0, the solution for me was after having keep the new file efs with 4 g, I installed the "moto g5 official rom (android 7.0)", with full commands, including modems, obviously we will lose the imei, but because we have our file efs 4g, we will restore it, we go back to bootloader mode, install again the 64 twrp, we also install the file "no verity opt encrypt 6.0", then, we return to the main menu of the twrp and restore, and choose the file that we have recovered the EFS 4 g, and " ready, we have a imei, imei sv, and 4 g correctly, upon restart, if you like you make another backup of the definitive efs file, and ready, now if you want to go back to the stock rom, already not to enter modem commands, thats all.

PD: Sorry for my english, I used a translator for this... And sorry for the links, xda will not allow me...

How i get backup of EFS file ?
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jordan_eliud:
Thanks for the tutorial, it has served me many gracais since I was 4 months in 3g. just follow the letter
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sashUser_2:
Sorry for the delay in responding, you can only get the EFS file from the recovery Cedric TWRP 64 bits, that is very important, and being in the Backup menu, select the EFS file.

No, not at all, just ignore the modem commands, and if you mean to install custom ROMs, will go normal, no errors

[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK0015:
I don't know why you keep saying you have to install dotos to do this? Worked on atomic os.

After doing the fastboot commands the IMEI went to 0 but then after restore the EFS it came back to normal....

I can't say if 4g is back because where I am I had never got 4g before.. I'll have to travel somewhere to see if 4g is back!

Seems possible that 4g is back now! Thanks! ?

This worked perfectly, and I was just thinking about buying another phone. Thanks a lot!
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Varun Maheshwari:
where do we have to take backup of efs. stock rom or dotOS rom ??
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] patricksouza472:
First things first, you gotta be sure you are on stock rom AND have 3G signal. If you don't, flash the latest Pixel Experience so you get IMEI and 3G back (may need to reboot phone twice, I did). After that, you have to flash back stock rom via fastboot mode so make sure you enabled USB debugging (I'm assuming you already know that), but don't run the commands 'fastboot erase modemst1' and 'fastboot erase modemst2'. If you run these, you'll have to start all over. Once you're all set, backup EFS partition using TWRP 3.2.1-0 (64bit version linked above), save it somewhere safe, install dotOS rom (I used the exact version the tutorial suggests, so I would just stick with that), reboot to system (again, you may have to reboot it twice) and you should have 4G/LTE signal. Now create a new EFS backup, save it somewhere safe, and reinstall stock ROM, but this time including those two commands (I installed the latest version with July 2018 security patch). After that, reinstall TWRP 64bits, restore the EFS backup you created while on dotOS and you're done. On First boot you may face some problems while trying to use 4G, it may keep switching between 4G and 3G all the time making it impossible to connect, but should it happen to you, a simple reboot fixes the issue. If you wish to root your phone after the process (like I did for PoGO spoofing) just install 32bit TWRP 3.2.2-0 and flash Magisk 16.7 beta and reboot phone twice (First time may have 4G issue again, rebooting fixes it). Sorry for the late response, it's way past midnight here in Brazil. Hope you get It working again

Guys I can not get 4g back at all, I run the command fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2 on pixel rom as I only have 3G andnd this wiped my IMEI and put it to 0, so then I had to reinstall stock oreo rom with all the commands (not erase modemst etc) then wipe then install pixel rom to get 3g back, I can't get 4g how do I do it it's driving my crazy!

please help :(
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] junglebungle:

[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] NZedPred:
Quite often 4G is missing for the same reason. What rom are you on right now? If you are on stock nougat, then flash this zip

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=3700668719832240875

All this zip does is fix the ownership of a couple of folders in the persist partition. If this is the issue you're facing (can't tell for sure without getting some info from your phone), you should get back 4G.
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] junglebungle:
I tried to flask nougat stock and oreo stock but they both removed my imei, I then flash pixel experience rom and it gave me back my 3g but no 4g. What can I do now?

I mean if I flash stock nougat rom without using "erase modem st1/2" It might give me 3G still on stock, can I do that and try that I use that zip file?

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ----------

If I flash that and it messes up my personal persist, will it mess up my phone even more? can I back up my persist stuff? not sure how
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] NZedPred:
Give it a try, it may help get back some functionality.

If you lost IMEI on stock Oreo then I suspect you have a bad persist. Did you ever flash someone else's?

I could check it out for you if you can get a back up. If your version of twrp can back up persist, then back it up, save it to e.g. Google drive, and send me the link in a private message.

If twrp doesn't support that, you can boot into twrp, and then use ADB or the terminal to run this command

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist of=/sdcard/persist.img

That will save a file persist.img in your internal storage. Copy it to the cloud and send me the link.
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] junglebungle:
Thanks mate bare with me I'll do it now, do you have a faster methods of contact? Discord?

I can't remember if I flashed anyone elses, I didn't flash their persist anyway.
