Hi all,
Wanted to get CM12.1 on my lovely Z2 Tablet with Sim... but it refuses to flash the castor build.. but the castor_windy flashes fine. Tried switching the build.prop file, but then the install fails in TWRP.
I'm so confused as to why it identifies as SGP511 (castor_windy), when it's clearly SGP521 (castor).. I'm literally looking at the sim-card tray.
Tried flashing 5.0.2 stock for SGP521, no go there either.
Anyone got any good ideas as to what to do? What did I break?
Edit:
Seems the culprit was that I flashed the TWRP for SGP511, which in turn insisted that the device wasn't SGP521.
Reflash with correct TWRP solved the issue! Thanks, me

Hi Guys,
I desperately need help, i have a new HTC One X+ bought online from Hong Kong, I unlocked the bootloader through HTCDev and then tried to root the device using RootBootV5, this was all with the stock rom installed.
All of a sudden my sim, bluetooth and wifi will not work, when I say wont work I mean the phone looks like it has no sim inserted, and the bluetooth and wifi wont even switch on.
I tried wiping the rom with CWM and installing AOSP ROM, the rom installed fine but the problem persists.
Do I need to re-flash the radios or something?
Please can someone help me!!

I had the same problem on my first go. What I did was re-locking the bootloader and then reflash the original firmware (from desktop). All worked fine again. Then I unlocked again and rooted (also via rootbootv5). Maybe it would have been enough just to flashboot a propoer boot.img and any of the fine stock-derivative roms... However, I do not advise to use CWM. I had odd results with that (including failing nandroid). Since I use TWRP as recovery, all is just fine...
Mmm was thinking of doing that but I couldn't find the original RUU anywhere on the net, any ideas?

Hi guys, I never had this problem before I flashed GPE. I'm a new XZU user. I unlocked my bootloader,rooted and installed dual recovery for the hopes of flashing GPE on XZU. I managed to flashed GPE rom in my XZU and everything seems to be fine. Except that my download speed is very slow using google chrome and playstore when using wifi! I haven't tried any other browsers yet. I can't even finish a download in google chrome. when it reaches 90% it cancels. I came from .136 firmware and flashed it. I know that the instructions in the GPE thread is to downgrade first to .290 but I read other users saying that it is ok if u flash it from .136. Guys have you experienced this issue before or should I wait it out? :crying:
**edit**
I can't even connect through my mobile connection now. I just need to know if I should wait this out.

Hello people!
I've been around the forums for a while, since I got my first HTC HD in fact, however there hasn't been any issue with my previous phones that I couldn't fix myself, but right now I'm at a loss.
I got my new Z2 a couple of days ago and started messing with it right away; I've already got a fully working .402 rooted with XZDualRecovery installed and working, however, I tried installing the AOKP 4.4.2 rom today and I've followed the instructions to the letter so to say;
Booted into recovery after transferring the latest version of both the rom and gapps to my phone, wiped System, Cache, Data and Dalvik Cache before selecting the room to install. (This was all done through PhilZ Touch Recovery).
However, when I try to install AOKP now, all I'm getting is an error saying that my phone isn't a supported model (D6502, D6503, ... "Sirius") but in fact a Z1 "Hitomi". How's that possible? What have I done wrong?
Before I started messing with it, I verified that it's in fact a D6503, it is bought locally from a trusted retailer and I'm even running the 17.1.1.A.0.402 firmware right now which also states that my model number is D6503.
I tried looking through the original Z2 AOKP topic but I couldn't find any issues related to this so I'm hoping that there's someone that can help!
Cheers.
Aokp isnt stock based
Unlock your bootloader and flash a kernel with recovery and try again, recoveriesbfor locked bootloaders arent always going to behaive
Ensure you read all the info needed before you unlock your bootloader

I had my s2 hard bricked and now i got a new motherboard for it, the thing is that on all stock roms (2.3 and 4.1.2) the phone works perfectly but all the custom roms 4.4 5.0 6.0 the cellular does not work, it gives me no service, tried flashing modem from cwm but no change.
i also tried different recoveries etc but custom rom no service
sometimes in custom rom imei used to be blank but it comes back after reboot, in stock no issues at all
any idea what im doing wrong or is there something up with the new board?
thanks,
Update
I was searching and I read somewhere that installing NeatROM by Sale will help, i downloaded and installed it, the good news is that cellular works and i have full 3G access.
Question: How to proceed further?
i could experiment but the thing is that if i flash a non-working rom (no cellular), i will have to flash stock from odin and start all over again
any ideas?
Update 2
i tried NeatROM and it worked perfectly, then i tried installing slimLP and boom, no service again, this time,my IMEI was blank too, so now i'm flashing stockrom again.
any idea anyone please?
Was running the unofficial lineage 14.1 rom, was getting frustrated with all the gps problems so I decided to try fulmics. Well cell service didn't work on fulmics, so I wanted to switch back and tough out the gps problems until lineage team got things fixed. Recovery seems to be working fine, but any rom I try to install simply endless reboots before every getting to the initial set up. I am at a loss, I am thinking I didn't have the new lg bootloader as I was told to have before trying to install fulmics. How the hell can I fix my phone? I always thought as long as recovery worked I would be fine, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Anyone help before I have to go out and buy a new phone tomorrow?

PMd you.
I found a fix, I completely wiped everything and first flashed just the stock 7.0 lg bootloader, now everything is working fine. Thanks for the message though!

No problem ?
Same Problem
I have the exact same problem. I flashed the LineageOS ROM, then flashed Fulmics ROM, then tried to go back to Lineage—and now every ROM just reboots endlessly, but I can boot into recovery and access TWRP just fine.
It looks like jamesvmccann found a fix, by "completely wiped everything and [then] flash[ing] just the stock 7.0 lg bootloader." I'm afraid I don't know where to download the stock 7.0 lg bootloader. This is a h830, so that may matter as well.
Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.
Managed to fix this problem myself
The stock h830 bootloader was linked in this forum post.
I booted into TWRP and flashed the stock bootloader. It has a different bootflash.
H850 keeps booting into Recovery
Hello everyone, I have a H850 and my phone does not want to boot into the OS. It keeps booting into Recovery mode. I tried flashing only the H850 bootloader and then installing a ROM, and it doesn't work. I've formatted everything except the SD card and still no joy. What else can I do to restore my H850?
Please Help!
