Currently i have team hacksung's build 6 rom on my phone, and it is working great and i didn't upgrade to 6.1 because of the multiple issues others were having. Now that 6.5 has been released, i am looking into upgrading. If i upgrade do i have to go to 6.1 first or can i just wipe my cache and upgrade strait to 6.5 without losing everything.
I have the 4 way lock screen so has someone made a 4 way lock screen for 6.5 since it would go away if i upgraded.
Thanks

reboot recovery, wipe cache, fix permissions...should fix grey bars.
I reverted back to my good ole build 6 backup. It's just running so great, I don't see the real benefit of 6.5. I thought the better signal bars would be noticeably different/better but I saw no difference so for now I don't see any benefit in the upgrade

It's because 6.5 does not come with Gapps, you need to flash it.
Grey bars means no connection to Google's service.

Data does not work on non verizon phones when flashed to a CM7 based rom. And I believe JT said he wasn't going to do anything about it. And since Cyanogenmod will take over the builds, I doubt it will happen.

Just for clarification, I have a Verizon phone activated on Page Plus and data worked fine right out of the box using custom TouchWiz ROMs. Based on your response quoted above it sounds like my data should still work since I am using a Verizon phone and their network even though I am not a Verizon customer? Or is it more complicated then that?
I've just started looking into CM7 and MIUI and found a couple of posts concerning data access but wasn't clear on my situation. Maybe Page Plus hasn't been mentioned directly or more likely my search skills suck. Either way, thanks for any help you (or anyone) can provide.
I'm have same problem. I have cricket also and can't get 3g to stay on. even when i wiped and flashed another rom it still flashes on and off. i have to do a complete factory restore to fix it.

Gads. I've waited 2 years to root my phone and the first ROM I flash toasts it. I downloaded the Skyraider Zeus 1.3 and everything looked fine. When it rebooted, though, I realized I'm not able to do anything.
I slide the lock to get into the phone and I'm greeted by a dialog about in-call volume. All I can do is hit the Silent button and it switches between that and bluetooth volume. I can't figure out how to get past it so I can actually do anything.
Ideas?
ETA: Now I'm really sick to my stomach. I decided to restore from backup. Neither one of the backups I made prior to flashing are working.
Error while restoring /data!
WTF? Now I'm dead in the water.
4pm Update: I figured I have a brick now so I wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache. Now I'm trying to re-install Skyraider. I'm not holding my breath.
You're not bricked.
Go back into recovery...
Wipe data/factory reset 3x, wipe cache, and then wipe dalvik cache.
Flash the ROM.
You should be good.

Thanks. I did that and it worked. I guess I have to reinstall everything.
Why would two different backups fail to restore? The first I did manually last night through Titanium. The second I did when I flashed through ROM Manager.
That's your problem using rom manager. Download 4ext in the play store and you wont have backup issues.

Will do. What a debacle it started out to be. I think I'm ok now. I got the ROM working and for some reason although I wasn't able to boot into recovery and restore I have been able to restore my apps and data through Titanium. I have to say buying the Pro license was worth not having to acknowledge each install. :laugh:
One thing I noticed is that I used to be able to slide the task bar down and have two options. Initially it was set with notifications but I could select a tab to make quick selections like enable/disable the hotspot, etc. I'll have to figure out why I only see notifications now. Maybe that's just part of the ROM behavior.

That's strange that you don't see the quick settings tab.
Usually after flashing a ROM through recovery, I flash it an extra time so that I know it gets all the files through.
I know when I flashed Gingeritis 3D, I couldn't get the music player to stop force closing when I changed the music sound effects. The only way to fix these issues and a few others was to flash it a couple more times, without wiping anything at all. Dirty flashes (not wiping) could possibly fix any issues as long as you haven't changed any of the ROMs settings or set up anything.

This is getting better. Now I'm posting from my netbook connected via WiFi tethering an not using the Verizon hotspot! This will save me another $30/mo.
So far this ROM seems to be much faster jumping between apps than stock. I'm going to play with it a few days and then throw caution to the wind and try the Skyraider ICS ROM. :silly:
Skyraider ics? I wasn't aware that they had an ics rom for the bolt.

Nusense is actually on my list. These are what I was initially looking at trying:
Liquid Smooth AOKP
SkyRaider Zeus 1.3
NuSense
I think I'm like most Tbolt users that are tired of waiting for ICS. I wasn't sure about Nusense because I was believing that Sense was the source of a lot of my problems. However, SkyRaider (even though it's neither ICS nor Sense-less) is running considerably better. My phone was next to useless. It might take 1-2 min just for the stupid thing to dial a # once it was selected. I'd tell people if I ever needed 911 I'd be dead before it even dialed. I also had a lot of problems with messaging and general performance. So maybe it was just a bloatware problem that was dragging me into the mud.
Now that I'm having a positive experience with SR I think I'm going to make NuSense my next one. It looks very promising. I appreciate the warning and help to steer me clear.

You should try Twisteds version of Liquid ICS AOSP . Only problem is Netflix and video can don't work. But other than that its a great rom --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33076925
Sent from my ThunderBolt using Tapatalk 2
Thanks. I'll give it a shot. I don't use Netflix much from the phone so that's not a deal breaker.
How is it with data? I flashed NuSense yesterday morning and flashed back to SkyRaider last night. I couldn't stay connected. The data drops were horrible. It was odd. I'd have the 3G/4G icon like I was connected but couldn't surf/email/etc. Then other times I'd lose the 3G/4G altogether. Sometimes resetting the mobile data would work and other times it would just laugh at me.
I guess I didn't give it much of a chance since it only lasted <12 hours but it was driving me nuts. Nothing like spending time with family and not being able to surf and escape.
Any liquid based ics rom is plagued with data drops.

Ugh. That's not good. SkyRaider has been rock solid on data. The only thing I've really run into is it seems flashing my apps with app2zip only works on some things. I end up having to re-flash Kindle, Lookout, and a few other apps once I'm up and running again.
I was really looking forward to ICS but not if data drops are the norm.
I'd like to first of all thank the CM guys for a great ROM - I'm a skeptic, but I really like it, nice work.
So far everything works on this ROM except I have two nagging issues:
1) My WIFI constantly cycles on and off - that's a deal breaker, I use my DNA alot online for work.
&
2) My LTE signal is much weaker now. Instead of the usual 4 bars at the office, I get 2.
Any help would be fantastic.
The CM 10.2 that I've loaded is: 10.2-20131014-NIGHTLY-dlx
Thanks so much.
CM reports false radio info. It should be the same as long as recent radio's are installed..
I spent a lot of time researching - and taking pot shots from some of the devs about not installing NIGHTLY ROMs on my daily phone.... and finally decided to go with a prime time ready ROM. So I installed ViperDNA, it's perfect so far.
Thanks for the help folks.

2. What can I do to have the actionable email notification, i.e. the ability to delete email when I pull down the notification bar?

Hi. I recently rooted and flashed my phone, but since doing so I've been able to get 4G/LTE to work for me. At first I thought it was just the initial rom i flashed, but every single one I've tried since has failed to work. I restored my backup of the the original rom (backed up immediately after post-root), but that has not worked either.
I should add that a couple of the roms I tried, upon initial setup for the first time ask me to wait a few minutes to activate mobile data. While the 3G signal works and appears, the waiting goes on indefinitely until i skip it. Data still works but 4G/LTE never happens for me.
Any advice? Thank you

If you're running a sense based ROM, try dialing ##72786# from your dialer. Select reset from the menu. Your phone will reboot and reactivate. Did you update your profile/PRL?

And nothings bringing it back . I installed all the 5.0 builds exactly how op said to and didn't do any mods of any kind. Hope this isn't going to happen to more folks who are using unofficial 5.0 releases.

I have ran my international rom and restored my backup and found this to be a issue.
Upon restoring I have 5 bars...but, no icons what so ever. I rebooted and all returned to normal.
As for you.....when you unrooted did you Odin back to stock? LTE is tied to the bootloader, not the modem.
This is the main reason I'm not building 5.0 until T-Mobile drops our official firmware.

Yes I odin back to stock. Out of box stock and didn't root for a while just to let it settle. I have the icon for 4glte but I'm only getting 2g and edge speeds. I went driving around even went to T-Mobile store where I no they get 4glte and nothing the sales person at T-Mobile was confused as well. He thinks its shot as well. I'm going to mess with it for a couple of more days to see what happens cause I don't want a refurbashed phone that I paid 690 bucks for. If it don't get fixed I'm just going to make the jump.
P.S You all be careful with those TW LP unofficial roms. I should have waited for the official build from T-Mobile. Just saying. Don't get me wrong the devs did great work but I don't think they're even aware of this. I didn't want to post in there threads and make them up set. And really I don't know which one actually broke it. There like 4 of them I tried. I use WiFi most the time I should have been more wise

Makes me wonder whether or not you got a funky modem in all your testing, and it's stuck. Sometimes it can be crazy hard to get a modem to stick when upgrading. No telling what might be happening when downgrading. Sorry about your issues but thanks for the heads up.

Yeah I'm thinking the same thing. Between all the back and forth from 5.0 to 4.4.2 and just 5.0 to 5.0. And international back to regular T-Mobile. I'm thinking something was corrupted or just plain fried . I went completely back to the latest bootloader K2 and modem and the LTE is just gone. But like I said I still get the 4glte icons in status bar and it all looks good but then when I run test speed test and other test it shows I'm only running at 2g or even edge speeds its super slow and I've even rerooted and tried other custom Roms from 4.4.2 that worked great before I started messing around with these unofficial TW LP 5.0 Roms. Its very odd for sure I see myself having to go ahead and do the jump but hey I'm not mad at anyone one of those devs that ported these tw 5.0 Roms over to our SM-G900T's they always tell us to flash at own risk and besides I think I'm ready to move on from s5 at this point anyways time to move to a new territory.. Lol

Has anyone tried to flash back to the software that the phone shipped with from release then to the newest?

I have ran my international rom, reverted to my backup several times with no issues besides having to reboot after it restores to make LTE pop on.

Yes I have used yours as well @The Sickness. But I think your was the latest KitKat NH5 ROM and I'm actually back to it now I've never had any issues with you ROM. It just seems that the LP 5.0 ported Roms that are actually international are the one that gave me this issue. Its been two days now and still LTE is non existent. Im going to hold off till wensday and try a few more things to see if I can get this worked out. If not then that's why I have the jump deal I'll just have to either send it in for repair or just jump to another device.
I could just wait for the actual release of the 5.0 firmware for SM-G900T and try that and maybe by some miracle that will solve the LTE issue.

Upon restoring I have 5 bars...but, no icons what so ever. I rebooted and all returned to normal.
As for you.....when you unrooted did you Odin back to stock? LTE is tied to the bootloader, not the modem.
This is the main reason I'm not building 5.0 until T-Mobile drops our official firmware.

I will definitely try your lollipop build when we get our update that's for sure. That's if I still have this phone by the time we get the update. Your builds are flawless..

After using one of the 5.0 ports, I tried to nandroid back. This resulted in a full system force-close. I was able to install a CM11 ROM (no gapps, skip set up) because this is how I've fixed this force-close issue before. I restored nandroid again (NK2 rooted), still had a full system force close. So I then used Odin (yuck had to boot into windows, I wish they would fix heimdall for Linux), and that did fix my system force-close. What's more, since the NK2 tar does not wipe any data, my phone was just like before I started this whole exercise. EXCEPT I had no LTE or WiFi. What fixed it was I odined back to NK2, once Odin was done I pulled the battery and factory reset (do not auto-reboot). The new Odin tars don't wipe data like the old days with the S2/3/4. After the factory reset I noticed that I still didn't seem to have a good LTE or WiFi signal, but I had to drive home. I did not log in to my Google account and set the phone up, i just got in my car and split. On that 40 minute drive home, I noticed LTE kick in. I tested it by loading a random YouTube video. The video loaded up quick and with good quality, so I knew I had LTE. When I got home I connected to my WiFi, the signal seemed normal. At that point I decided to Odin CF Autoroot and TWRP. Once I did that I was able to restore my nandroid that I had made that morning, and luckily it worked perfectly and the LTE and WiFi have been great since. I don't know if you've tried this, but if you haven't, I hope it works for you.

Well I have been using these builds and now my LTE is is completely broke. I have the 4glte icon and called customer care and they said my network is fine. Now I might have to send my T-Mobile S5 in for repair. I have been working on it for 8 hour doing factory resets and unrooting
And nothings bringing it back . I installed all the 5.0 builds exactly how op said to and didn't do any mods of any kind. Hope this isn't going to happen to more folks who are using unofficial 5.0 releases.

I also had problems going back by nandroid from LP roms with the result in android crashes. Since I still keeps a rom on my phone just in case of issues like this and was able to get lte back and use titanium to extract my nandroid for all my saved data. I guess we just have to be a bit more patient or just invest into a nexus.

I tried the following: while back on 4.4.2 I reflashed NK2 bootloader and Modem vua Odin. When the phone restarted i ticked off Wifi and Wifi calling. Ran a speed test and got these results. I believe it may have something to do with wifi calling. You may have a better idea being a dev. Let me know how it goes.

This looks about right. I'm was getting about the same speeds except my upload speed was about 1.54 appsolutely awful. I haven't gotten it fixed as of yet I'm busy with other things at the moment. My phone still works but as for getting at anything through data when I'm not able to use WiFi its about useless for that now. I'll keep you all updated. Also I will show a screen shot of my speeds later. I'm obviously back on KitKat stock ROM now . I'm staying the heck away from TW LP till we get an official build. If that ever happens..lol

You've probably done this already, but just in case... Have you tried soft-bricking your device? Maybe factory reset and wipe system, don't install anything, then restart and let it bout loop for a few minutes, then Odin NK2? Have you tried installing CM11?

Yes I have done all of the above thanks though ,good suggestion.☺
Like I said earlier, I'm just going to hold off on trying to fix this, I've done just about everything I can think of to resolve this issue.
I'm just going to wait for official release of 5.0 and see if that resolves it. If not I'm going to go ahead and use my jump and upgrade to another device.

I have installed a few of the international lollipop ROMS and have not had any issues with LTE that's weird that u guys are here is my speed test as u can see mine are normal
