No 3G After Flashing AICP ROM



So...I flashed a custom ROM yesterday and it works great, fast and seems to be reliable but it is missing the camera application and the phone lost its 3G capabilities.
I have already tried to set up an APN myself with settings I took from my mobile service provider's website and it doesn't seem to work.
Also, they have an app that configures an APN automatically - The app said everything is working and well but...that's not the case.
Moreover, the phone had 3G before the flashing and was working fine.

Would appreciate any help!
Thanks a lot,
Sybrid

EDIT: The ROM is AICP 9.0 and the phone is Samsung Galaxy SIII.



Flashing Info



Hi, is there a way to flash a custom ROM without unlocking the bootloader? The thetered recovery seems not working...

Heimdall For Flashing TWRP To Note 3



Hello, everybody. I just wanted to pass something on that more knowledgeable folks might already know, but I didn't know until now, so maybe someone else doesnt know and might benefit from something I just found out. I was under the impression that you couldn't use heimdall to install a custom recovery on a sammsung galaxy note 3 sm-n900t (tmo model) but had to use Odin instead. Well, what a PITA to borrow a windows puter for flashing and rooting when you are a ubuntu user! Yeah odin probably runs under vmware just fine and possibly wine too, but do I really want to try to make my linux laptop more windows-like? Nevertheless that is how I had been doing it until today.

last week I took my old tab 2 for a spin and decided it could use a more modern recovery and OS. I followed instructions (darn... i cant post the url! but just google for the title, "How to Install CyanogenMod on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GSM) ("p3100")") on the CyanogenMod Wiki for installing recovery using heimdall and it went off swimmingly. I already had 3 sm-n900t devices all on CM12 and just got another one for trying other ROMs. Well, that meant I had a totally expendable note 3 to experiment with, so I thought I would give heimdall a stab at it even though I was doubtful of the outcome.

I had just bought this phone on a certain popular auction site, and rushed into flashing it without doing my homework. I stuck a TWRP 4.4 recovery in it and it took just fine, but the stupid phone wouldn't boot into recovery. Okayyyyyy... looked in About Phone and noticed the android version was 4.3. The 4.4 TWRP couldnt boot with the 4.3 bootloader onboard. So I downloaded a 4.3 TWRP, flashed, and wa lah! Now it boots right up into TWRP recovery! Just to kind of check it out and make sure it was fully functional, I flashed a CM12 nightly, a GApps package, and the most recent SuperSU straight from the sd card using TWRP and it works just fine! And it all started with flashing TWRP to the Note 3 with Heimdall on Linux instead of the usual Odin on Windohs.

So fellow linux users, don't despair. Apparently heimdall v1.4.0 will work with the Note 3. At least it did for me.

I would be most interested in anybody's results, or lack of results, of attempting to install custom recovery on the Note4 or Note5, or the latest S phones., using Heimdall/Linux.



Lost LTE and internet access on some Wi-Fi networks after flashing Cyanogenmod



This is the first help post for anything tech-related that I've ever posted- I'm usually good enough with Google to fix my own problems, but this one has me flustered.

Until yesterday I was running DigitalHigh's GPE ROM but decided to give Cyanogenmod another try after some persistent lag issues. Everything went fine during the install until I noticed that I was stuck on 3G no matter what I did- airplane mode, reboot, clear the cache, try to update APN settings, etc., nothing helped. Additionally, while the phone will connect to my home wireless network, it has a ! next to the connection symbol despite my being able to use the network with my laptop. The funny thing is, this only happens with some networks. Neither my home network nor the network at work will give me internet access, but if I plug an ethernet cable into my laptop and create an access point that way, I'm fine.

Here's what I've tried so far after scouring these and other forums:

-Reverted back to the previous ROM
-Flashed new firmware
-Flashed two new kernels
-Tried every different APN setting I can think of
-Popped out my sim card, waited a bit, and popped it back in
-Rebooted countless times
-Cleared every cache I can think of
-updated TWRP

There's probably more that I can't think of off the top of my head as well. Does anybody have any idea what on earth has happened to my phone?

Thanks,

Flashing to Factory not working



archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'
failed to allocate 1043723460 bytes

I always get this error whenever I try to flash the Nexus 5 with using the flash-all file, I installed Android Studio, restarted my PC, even got the 6.0 factory image. None work and I always get that error, please help? I'm trying to restart this Nexus 5 for my dad. The Nexus 5 is rooted with franco kernel and TWRP but on stock ROM.



After flashing a rom mod storage (SD and Internal) access denied.



Hello, i'm having a problem here. I have a Galaxy S5 and i am using XtroLite Lollipop Rom for quite some time now. Yesterday i decided to flash the aroma mod of it's rom so i could add the option fo multiple windows. I had done it before with the same aroma mod and it worked flawessly so i flashed and it did work, but then i noticed some errors and when i looked the explorer both of my storages (internal and external) are there but show no files inside and apparently give no access permissions, the only thing i have permission to access is the root folder. When i go to philz touch recovery i can check the files on both storages and they are there its most likely they are just not accessible. Tried to plug to a pc while on recovery but no deal. I searched google a lot but didn't find anything related, i also can use most of the apps that were installed on the phone but can't install any newer, cause of internal storage being inaccessible, and im without a terminal installed atm.

I kindly ask for some help, thanks in advance.



Random reboots after flashing Root Debloated



My wife and I both have H811 G4s. I've gone through and rooted both of our phones with Low Effort, flashed twrp, debloated, updated to 10n debloated. Everything has been great until last week. My wifes phone started randomly rebooting. It's actually random. I can't find anything consistent. I removed apps with updates, factory reset and it would reboot during the setup wizard. Yesterday I did a full return to stock 10n, and it behaved all day.

Today I try to root with the 10n debloat , and now it's rebooting again. I have a hard time thinking it's bad hardware as the full stock works fine, and with it not rebooting on stock how would I prove it for the replacement?

What else can I check or do to fix this, and why is it only happening to one of the phones?



Desire 616 stuck in boot loop. Flashing possible?



Have a HTC Desire 616 stuck on boot loop. I can access boot menu and it gives me three options:

Recovery > If I select this it goes into boot loop
Normal > If I select this it goes into boot loop
Fastboot > Choosing this puts me in the fastboot prombt

My question is: I can only get a fastboot mode so is there a chance to re-flash a stock ROM onto this device? And if it is possible would you please direct me to a simple How-To?

Cheers



Flashing stock firmware: Sony PC Companion vs. Flashtool? FSC script?



Hey there,

So I just bought a D6653 (most likely Hong Kong firmware loaded) and am wanting to flash the official Australian retail software (specifically 23.4.A.0.546 then update to 1.232) but am wondering which is the best method and do I need to flash the included FSC script if I use the Flashtool method?

So option A: Do I use Sony's PC companion and hope that it restores to Australian firmware rather than HK

or option B: use Flashtool method and hope I don't **** up with a FSC file. Simulating a flash now informs me that a FSC file was found and do I want to use it. Do I?

Thank you!



[Q] Flashing stock firmware



Flashing stock firmware includes the stock kernel right?

Was reading the N910T3 root guide and was surprised that root requires a custom kernel.
I'm assuming the previous kernel link is the stock kernel but since this is my daily driver, I want to make sure lol

Issue flashing firmware using adb to ZE550ML



Hi I tried flashing a custom rom on my ZE550ML last week and now have a soft brick(i think). I have looked through many threads and cannot seem to get the answers I need.
During the flashing of the rom I forced restart after about 15 minutes without indication of installation. I didn't make a nandroid backup like i normally do and wiped system cache. I have nothing on the internal storage now and am trying to push the latest firmware from the asus site to the phone but cant get it right.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong with adb. I have the drivers and the firmware. When I reboot to recovery to apply update from adb, I get error saying "closed".
I change the firmware zip filename after watching other vids and reading different posts. Can someone help me understand if either I can't restore my phone or what I am doing wrong.?Thanks in advance!
my command line reads C:\adb>adb push ULZ008WW.ziip /sdcard/ .



Flashing problem with Odin 3.0.9



Hi there! Recently I updated my phone after using KitKat for quite a while as I grew a bit bored of KitKat and thought Lollipop would do some good. Previously, I had KitKat then went to Lollipop but I didn't like Lollipop so I flashed to KitKat. Then, after some time I am where I am now, stuck on Lollipop. So I am trying to revert back to KitKat again, but on my computer after I load KitKat into Odin and press start, the console log gets stuck on aboot.mbn. Everything works fine until that point, which it then just sits there. My phone also displays a loading bar on the download mode, but sits at the very beginning. Something is wrong here. I would really appreciate any help.

Somethings you may need to know:
- Yes I have successfully gone back to KitKat before on the same phone.
- I have the correct Verizon Retail KitKat Software
- I have Odin 3.0.9
- I am running 5.0.1
- I have done a factory reset and cleared cache partition as well, but nothing seems to work.

Thanks, I look forward to your feedback! :)

Android File gets stuck at 44% only during SP Flashing



Hi,

I hope someone could help me about my A3000 device. I have done flashing my tablet for the first time and it worked fine after that (following the steps from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/leno...-call-t2441135). Unfortunately, after a few weeks, I have installed a lot of apps and it crashed or simply not working anymore.

I tried to do flashing again for the second time but unluckily, it doesn't take effect anymore. It always gets stuck at 44% of flashing, (ticked all the files displaying in the SP flash tool through the scatter file). Now, I tried flashing the files one by one. I found out that the ANDROID file has the problem. It won't completely download. All the other files like Recovery, Bootimg, UBOOT, EBR1 etc. works fine and it confirms with the "DOWNLOAD OK."

I have tried different options with Firmware Upgrade, Format all + Download etc. I also did perform Format in the SP Flash Tool before Downloading.

I hope you guys can suggest what step I should do next.

Thanks!

There is another command or option that could help me, or any other way for that?
