4G LTE doesn't work
Hi, I have a problem from one day to another I can't connect to LTE. Any idea about the problem?
Please remove this stupid 10 post restriction. I got my 10 posts and it's still not allowing me to post in the main thread. Maybe it needs 11? Argh.
Pantech discover issues
I have a pantech discover unlocked running ICS 4.0.4 and m facing following issues:
The soft keys work only 5-10% of times and I have to use button savior app for using phone. Sometimes they work normally and most times they simply do not respond at all. Is it ROM related issue or hardware issue? I have already factory reset the phone without any positive outcome.
My phone always sticks to 4G network and consumes a lot of battery. In settings there is no option to choose 2G or 3G network. Usually most android phones have an option to choose between GSM, GSM/WCDMA, etc. This phone does not have any such option in Mobile networks. Is there anything that can be done.
I am running stock ics and tried running AT&T update, it displayed an 248 MB update and downloaded it. I chose to install the update and it booted to recovery and tried installing update but failed after some time and rebooted the phone. Would like to know if there is anything that can be done to update the phone to JB.
I was able to find only two threads on xda for getting phone rooted and only 1-2 ROMS that too stock. Does anybody have a specific link to download roms for it.
I was unable to find phone drivers for Windows, does anybody have a link to them.
How should I update the phone to JB:
1. Running on ICS -> Root -> Install CWM -> Install JB ROM from xda thread
2. Running on ICS -> Officially update to JB -> Root -> Revert to unlocked ICS bootloader -> Install CWM -> Install JB Rom from xda thread
Any help would be appreciated.
Not Unlocked with Unlocked Bootloader
Hi! i am new here but i have been having some success. my unlocked discover was locked by ATT when i did their 4.1.2 upgrade. Since then i have rooted my discover, i have installed the clockwork mod, i have installed the unlocked loader and the checksums match. Unfortunately when i put my T-Mobile sim back in, the phone is still network locked. Has anyone had a similar experience? Is there a fix available? If I can download the custom rom and get a matching checksum would flashing that fix things? Any help would be appreciated. Hopefully you can see that I am trying to do my part.

Update and stuck on at&t logo
So, after much thought I followed the method two i.e.
Running on ICS -> Officially update to JB -> Root -> Revert to unlocked ICS bootloader -> Install CWM -> Install JB Rom from xda thread
Unfortunately, as soon as I updated it to JB, the phone rebooted after update and since then it is stuck on at&t logo.
The JB update overwrote my cwm recovery, flashed the locked JB bootloader and unrooted phone as well.
I can enter stock recovery and fastboot but to no use as the bootloader is locked and phone is not rooted.
I have tried wipe data and cache without any positive outcomes.
I have worked out following possible solutions:
1. Install stock jellybean rom via adb sideload as this is an option in stock recovery
2. Flash stock rom using PDL download software update mode, however, I do not have software for flashing and nor stock rom.
Any kind of help will be deeply appreciated.
Anyone?
Any kind of replay will be deeply appreciated.
How come this phone does not have stock roms available??
Also, a pdl download software upgrade method not available???
Is there a link for a flashable JB rom link or JB update link from where I can download JB rom or update and flash it onto phone via adb sideload!!!
Kindly help as m in a fix and moving around without a phone. :crying:

New to using cmd promt to mod
Hello I am new to using to command windows to mod android devices (as all my other androids are samsung and I use odin for them). I can't seem to get my computer to communicate with the phone in the command window and get responses like: 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Any help for the noob would be appreciated.

sorry if i am asking a question asked for too many times already,but i can't seem to find a solution to my case,or either the thread is no longer active since the TS did not update his results,thus making me confused if he hassuccessfully or unsuccessfully rooted his atrix
i'm using atrix mb860 ofw 2.3.4.and i'm trying to install neutrino 2.2 rom gt
so here are what i had done until now:
1.rooted my atrix using Pete's One Click Root : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258599
2.installed titanium backup and backed up batch of everything.superusered.
3.Installed cwm from market and got superusered.
4.flashed cwm recovery for atrix 4g
5.tried to install romracer using cwm.selected to restore previous roms and also chosen both wipes but failed.atrix reboots and shows "failed to boot , starting rsd mood"
what my concern is about,is just "rooting" enables me to already install roms?if it does,what did i do wrong in my steps?if it does not,please show me the way.i do not know if i should or should not flash my sbf files and bootloader
also,i read that to show that my atrix is rooted,it shold show at the top right corner during boot.but i don't see any
please help me because i really don't know what i'm doing here.i'm still new and the guides provided by the developers are for experienced people.it does not provide the detailed steps.also,please do explain some of the terms used like what is the difference between rooted and unlocked devices.
if you are too tired to explain everything all over again,then just give me the required links.i'll learn my way.btw,if you are able to give me a working link,and updated threads that would be very hopeful since some don't re-edit their first post,thus needs us to find the answer in a 1000++ replies
thank you in advance
You need to unlock your bootloader. The text you're referring to in the upper left corner of the Motorla screen is "unlocked" and it only appears after you unlock.
You can do it manually. See here.
Or automatically. See here.
You CANNOT install a CWM without unlocking your bootloader first. Rooting does not let you install ROMS, unlocking the BL does.
thanks for the reply.so that's what i'm missing.is it necessary to flash my sbf?and since neutrino rom gt changes my kernel(i think).
so after unlocking my bl,i can then install romracer->neutrino then?i'll update again and see what happens

Yes, the pudding unlocker is a small 10mb sbf file. After flashing that with RSD, you'll run the fastboot oem unlock commands.
The kernel (boot.img) is completely different from the bootloader. (if I'm reading your ? correctly).
Correct: Unlock BL>install romracer CWM> BACKUP! > install your ROM of choice
okay,this is starting to get on my nerves.i went to pudding,then scrolled down to "RSDLite/Windows Drivers/Sbf_flash"->go to hxxp://goo.gl/vfUXc link->tried but failed as it's for at&t.mine is international then.just great!
went back topudding's thread.read again..."unlock"...YES!solution for international phone!heck,this is an sbf file,what am i going to do with an sbf file?if it's just copy and paste,that will be easy.
ok,so what i really need now is a real solution to an international atrix and not at&t's atrix.or is there actually another thread for just international atrix?i just don't understand at all.please help
http://www.youtube.com/user/TheSmokingAndroid
Ck the earlier videos that he has posted on unlocking the atrix, helped me quite a bit.
FINALLY DID IT!now to install neutrino gt!thanks for all your help guys!.this guide was indispensable:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
a new question : how do i install romracer?the guide did say to install itbut i don't see the app?
nvm,finally able to install neutrino.thanks a lot guys!now where's the close thread button...
no wait,again another problem!i wanna ask at neutrino's thread but this stupid 10 posts rule is preventing me.so i need to ask here.after installing neutrino,my internal memory is left with 2gb only.where is the other 8gb?when i plugged into usb,i did find them.
to note,i used cwm to install neutrino gt.the zip file was in internal.does that have anything to do with it?any way to get it back?do i need to flash neutrino again?if so,please teach me
also,how to get the market back?
Hello everyone,
I know that this is my first post, but in recent weeks i have been using the useful information posted by your community to succesfully root and flash my device. I have, however, reach a wall and am unable to find any other information to lead me past this wall. That leads me to this post. Maybe my experiences will help others to reach an answer that seems to have eluded all of our brains.
My device:
US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S3 16 GB Version
Android 4.1.2
1. Successfully rooted my device, gaining access to SuperUser App and root file access.
2. Installed TWRP Custom Recovery, backed up custom recovery image of stock ROM and apps (image of my phone as it was before flashing)
3. Found a ROM suitable to my device, carrier, and needs (Eclipse v5.1 Build 5)
4. Flashed ROM using correct procedure (factory wipe, flash ROM, flash GAPPS, reboot)
5. Rebooted phone while new ROM was in place (Eclipse)
6. Restored all info as it was before
7. Went to use camera, received error message "Cannot connect to camera"
8. Proceeded to see if any camera apps would solve problem (FXCamera, Instagram, etc), received same error message when trying to access camera portion of these apps
9. Explored other options (Flashed other camera apps onto my phone hoping this would solve problem)
10. Relaunched phone and received same error message when trying to open these camera applications
***********************************
1. I recovered to the stock ROM using TWRP, and attempted to access the Camera Firmware screen using code *#34971539# and this resulted in nothing happening on my phone. No change in screen, the code just sits in the stock dialer.
****Why is this?
****Why wont my phone access the camera firmware screen?
I have a feeling that i need to find a corresponding firmware in this list
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2006128
And follow the listed process in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...6#post40409206
My hope is that this results in the camera fully functioning within my custom ROM that i have chosen.
For now though, i guess any input that you have on my situation would be greatly appreciated. I feel as if i have exhausted every thread on the internet regarding this topic. Why cant i get to the firmware screen? Do you think this will fix the situation? Why wont the camera connect when im running my custom ROM?
Thanks in advance everyone, really appreciate all that you do here. Your knowledge helps many.

Hi all,
Firstly sorry, you must get this all the time and be really bored of helping but i would be so grateful if anyone out there can point me in the right direction.
Firstly my phone details;
Model - Xperia Z2 D6503
Firmware - 1278-4770_23.0.1.a.3.9
Network - EE
Rooting status;
Bootloader unlock allowed: No
I want to root my phone but after reading what seems like thousands of web pages im more than a little confused. Does anyone out there have a step by step guide for beginners?
I want to use cwm recovery but don't understand how to get that on the phone as most guides say use it to back up before doing anything else but it isn't there to start with!
Also will installing cwm wipe my phone and sd card?
Any help would be much appreciated and many thanks in advance.
You can only install nuts dual recovery on a locked bootloader, proper recovery is included in the kernel and the kernel can only be changed on an unlocked bootloader, there was a a guide to rooting in one of the forums and I assume towel root will work, just search the z2 forum you'll find it

Thanks for the response.
Is nuts recovery better or worse than cwm? Also i thought that towel root would not work with 4.4.4 at present?
Does the locked bootloader mean i cannot do certain things even after rooting my phone like install custom roms and kernals?
Many thanks

1) You cannot root the firmware you are on with a one click tool (like towelroot) at present. You have to downgrade to a lower firmware like 17.1.2.A.0.314 first and then root that, install a custom recovery and install a pre-rooted firmware package.
2) Your bootloader is hard locked by EE, this means that you will never be able to unlock it and install custom kernels nor custom ROM's what require custom kernels.
3) It is more than recommended to install [NUT]'s dual recovery, this installs PhilZ recovery (a more advanced CWM in my opinion), TWRP and CWM (to use CWM you have to install dual recovery manager from google play AFTER installing the dual recovery).
4) Now to downgrading, you will need to download a program called flashtool (this can be found in the Sony Cross Device development section) and the .314 ftf file (not .tft, ,ttf, .fft or any other variation people mis-spell it as). You will then need to install the drivers for your phone (these can be found in the flashtool drivers folder in the location you installed it, also if you have Windows 8 or 8.1 check my signature on how to disable driver enforcement before attempting to install the drivers.) There are plenty of guides on how to downgrade, there is even one in the firmware collection thread what can be found in the Z2 general section. Side note, when downgrading you will HAVE to wipe data and the cache (this can be selected when you are selecting the firmware to flash) or else you will end up with a phone what is in a bootloop.
5) After downgrading you will need to root, the easiest and simplest way to root would to be use the easy root toolkit (this can be found in the Sony Cross Device development section).
6) After rooting you will have to install [NUT]'s dual recovery (Sony Cross Device development section, you will need the installer file and not the flashable file).
7) After installing dual recovery you will need to flash a pre-rooted zip file of the latest update (Z2 Android Development section, I think the one by @niaboc79 is the best one to use). Alternatively you could install a custom ROM what is based on stock, it will tell you if it is.
If you need any more help, just tag me in the post (by using the @ symbol and then my user name) or PM me. Also, @Envious_Data is a great help in this device forum, helped me when I had a few queries about the phone before I got it and I have seen them help a load of people in the Q&A section.
@gamer649 Thank you for taking the time to help me, that has explained everything perfectly. I do however have a couple more questions i think you'll know about....
1 - Is there a back up app available that will do a similar back up to that of "apple". I mean reinstall all the apps i currently have and keep the home screen layouts and all data etc?
2 - In the link to the firmware downloads you gave me there is only 2 UK .314 ones and none of them are EE, shiuld i just use the unbranded one and what are the differences?
3 - The main reason i started looking into rooting was that i heard about a tweak to increase the volume of the z2 notifications by forcing it to use both speakers. Have you had any expierience with it and what other tweaks would you recomend?
Thanks again and i look forward to hearing from you again

1) You could try using the stock back up and restore app for that. Also, if you have your data backed up with your Google account it will start to reinstall all your apps along with their data once you sign in once you downgrade. @Envious_Data any other suggestions for a non-rooted device?
2) I always go for unbranded software, the reason being that there are no carrier apps nor carrier boot logos installed into the ROM and it is how Sony intended it to be. Apart from that I don't think there are any differences.
3) I don't usually have my phone on sound mode, it is either silent or vibrate so I can't help you with that one. You could take a look in the Z2 android development section to see what mods are available, some ROM's may also include this feature.

1. You can use root to copy all of your apps from /data/app and you can use flashtool to bulk install all of them
2. Branded firmwares occasionaly have some small changes for better reception on the selcted network but with 314 this doesnt actualy matter
3. Have a look around for some mods, and see if they are compatible with your current firmware version

Hello, n00b post.
I'm attempting to root my phone using the following method. I've flashed my phone in recovery using odin and philz xwlsy md5 file. What do I need to do next? I'm attempting the following method..

So im guessing I use philZ md5 file then boot from the cwm into the root file? Via internal sd ? Is there an easy way without the sd? Thanks
Sorry everyone if my question looks noob,
I'm confused about what method is best suitable for my phone.
I want to root so to have full access and make a backup before upgrading to stock rom 4.1.2.
My phone: Samsung S2 GT-I9100 international, stock rom 4.0.4
What information do you need?
I think that I got all information about my phone but the whole bunch of numbers confuse and scare me a bit.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: even more confused now since my questions didn't appear into the related thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/04-12-2012-universal-rooting-phones-rom-t1746794/page64

rooted OneTouch918D
Hello,
I've rooted the mentioned phone with 'Kingo-Root', which said successfull and installed a 'Superuser'-App.
Then I've installed ROM-Manager sucessfully, but in the recovery mode there is no option 'install zip from SD-card'.
I also can't install custom ROMs, which I found with your website (for example 'deep ROM -zip'). It says 'signature failure...'.
Have I choosen th wrong rooting method, or have I to combine it which other steps afterwards?
I also don't find a cyanogenmod version to install for this phone.
I finally want to get full access and control over all permissions (aim is xprivacy or so), so to ocnfigure every app for my own.
What can you advice me?

Ulefone Be Touch OTA
Hi,
I have rooted my Be Touch and installed custom recovery as well using this guide
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-ulefone-touch-lollipop-t3132204
Now, there is an available OTA from the local reseller and I can't install it due to custom recovery. How do I update my phone now? The error I am getting is System is Damaged which I have attributed to CUstom Recovery upon searching google
I have the same problem to update phone. The downloaded update.zip file over OTA could be found in my SD-card, just 18.89Mb. I've tried to install it using recovery by choosing "install zip -> choose zip from sdcard". But finally I got following error:
...
Verifying current system...
"EMMC:boot:7262208:..." has unexpected contents.
E:Error in update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Hofefully someone could help?
yes same with me, I am trying sideloading with ADB but I do not know about that, unable to make a connection between PC and phone. Maybe someone has stock recovery image so we can perform the OTA update? Anyone can upload their stock recovery?
Reverting back to kitkat.
I tried flashing using spflash on my Ulefone Be touch, it was on lollipop and it did not transition to kitkat. it in fact got semi bricked but i got through that and fixed it. the phone was originally rebranded so it had another skin on top of it (not ulefone). how can i get it back to kitkat? do i have to root it and manually flash it on my phone? or is flashing a downgrade not possible by just regular means?

Here is the latest stock rom: http://ulefone.com/download/betouch.html. You will find the boot.img and recovery.img in the zip file. But I'm afraid to brick my phone to have a try. Moreover I don't know whether this root method could still work if I get phone flashed successfully...
are you using a rebrand? I already flashed the recovery of Be Touch, unrooted my phone as well but OTA is still failing, even manual zip install and sideload fails. I guess it is because my phone is a rebrand and thus, uses another recovery as stock. I have used this ROM as my base now and I can confirm that root is still working

I think my phone is not rebrand, because there is ulefone logo on rear cover. I got it rooted with Build 20150513 ROM.
With the rooted Build 20150513 ROM, I get phone flashed with official Build 20150529 ROM successfully. Afterwards, the root method still works!
yup and i hope we get new build soon with bug fixes! Does your phone get a lot of heat when charging and browsing 3G?

Surfing or gaming will need more hardware resource and power for display, no wonder that it will get warm too. Maybe a metal cover will get heat better distributed, but then it will be sold in another price...

You should try 20150702 ROM. Phone is now not less hot when charging and surfing. I did flash back to official 20150529 ROM and then do the OTA update.
There is a ROM of ulefone be touch 2 on needrom !
Rooted Be Touch 2, Xposed, Loving it.
Hi folks. I used this process to successfuly root my Ulefone Be Touch 2. Instead of the provided recovery.img and boot.img, I used a version of Carliv Recovery and the Be Touch 2 boot.img found through needrom and it worked perfectly.
I was also able to install Xposed Framework by changing the Android version from 5.1 to 5.0 in prop settings (using BuildProp Editor) - which is fine since most say it's fake 5.1 anyway.
Does anyone know whether people have successfully installed custom roms to the Be Touch 2? I find the stock ROM laggy - more so than it should be - but I hesitate to install something like CM or Liquidsmooth without knowing.
Thanks again to the OP!!
Looking for Be Touch 2 Root and Recovery too! Any luck? Thanks in advance!
Download link dosen´t work
Hi, I don´t get the download link to work. I only gets the error code "403 forbidden". Can you please upload the files again, thanks.
[edit] Got it working, was just my antivirus that was blocking it for some reason
It worked!!
Thanks alot man.
I have looking for a root to this device since i got it, and now its rooted
I got this working on win10 (and also working on win8/8.1), but what you have to do is disable "driver signature enforcement". Check this vid if you don´t know how (youtube.com/watch?v=PAxTCvRmlio)
Please make a video
Please Im really new to rooting I have always had iOS and I would really appreciate it if anyone would like to make a video tutorial
Error while trying to root Be Touch 2
Hi,
After following http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-ulefone-touch-lollipop-t3132204 i get to the download part after selecting boot and recovery.
BDROM ERRPR : S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL (5054)
[EMI] Obtain DRAM Failed!
[HINT] : Please check your load matches to your target which is to be downloaded.
And now the phone won't boot. It does detect when the battery is removed on com15, can I use any other tools to at least boot the phone?
