hey, i had a evo3d running synergy rom and half the screen broke so i had insurance send me a new one.
Keep in mind my old, broke, phone still works (only half the screen works).
once i got my new evo3d in i rooted it, updated the radio with PG86IMG-twrp-shooter-1.1.1.zip and then flashed the latest synergy 3d ROM. once it stated up, it ran the auto hands-free activation.
After a delay it came up and said connection failed 1 of 5, and asked if i wanted to activate or if i was on the phone with a sprint tech and wanted to do it manually. When i press "Activate" it crashes with this message "vDM client has crashed..." and i have to click Force quit. Then im at the normal setup your android screens.
If i skip ahead the phone is not activated (plus my old one is still live, but even still vDM should not be crashing i would assume). So i then called sprint tech *2 and had a very knowledgeable lady and we tried several things, the main issue being ##823834## not working or doing anything (prob bc of rom).
I can press ##3282# and get the View / Edit, but even on that page, using the password (it asks for a password if you press "Edit") give to me on the phone by the sprint tech, did not accept. She said i should bring it in to the store and she was going to make me an appointment. I clearly didn't mention it was rooted.
What can i do to get this new rooted phone activated? should i re-flash back to stock sprint? any why is vDM crashing (Google and xda search gave very very little on vdm)?
thanks alot.
1. Nandroid backup
2. RUU
3. Nandroid restore
4. ????
5. No profit, but working phone.
Just run a stock rooted ROM. The problem is you may have run into that error 16 issue. They warn of it in the thread on rooting. Basically it kills the data connection for the phone (Which is needed for hands free activation) and you need to call in to a department and have them reset it on their end. However, since the phone was never previously activated, it seems you don't have this option?
It doesn't happen every time you root, didn't happen to me at all. But perhaps read some of those issues and see if the tech team can push the fix your way. I think Product Fred posted about it specifically referencing the department to call. If all else fails, it seems like you may need to unroot and exchange for another device. Then activate that one before rooting.
Ok great i'll try the stock rooted rom and report back, im no to clear on what zadias was trying to say in his post however.
when you said "see if the tech team can push the fix your way." do you mean a push from sprint's tech team? bc if so then the lady from sprint i spoke with earlier did push some kind command when we were trying to troubleshoot activating it.
tks again!
hi,
I have tried the stock sprint rom and even on that the same thing happens, once it boots up and the "Hands free activation" screen comes up, after about 1 minute it comes up and says the connection has failed and do i want to retry? (it says if you are on the phone with a live sprint tech to click cancel.) i have the option of activate and cancel. if i click activate i get this:
The application vDM Client (process com.redbend.vdmc)) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.
(then i must click force close)
Anyone have any input or ideas? im fully without a phone now as my others screen has stopped working fully.
thanks

Is the old phone still working..i mean can u make and get calls on the old phone?

Yes i can make calls on the old device, i have used it to call sprint *2 and we tried everything on the new phone, no luck she said i would have to bring it into the store.
Im trying to restore it to STOCK sprint using these directions, but the PIA file links dont work (on all 3 of the posts on return to stock ive found, none of the donwload links work so pls help.)

It says download the stock rom zip which it links to a 400mb file, it then says:
In hboot mode the phone will scan the SD card with the image. Once it finds it will ask you if you want to update. Press "Power" to update.
(to me that sounds like how u flash a radio with a small 4mb zip file like team recovery file you rename to PG186.zip, so why are they linking to a 400mb rom file?)
to me that is how you flash a radio with a small PG186.zip file not a 300mb ROM file, so im confused on that, do i want to choose the zip to flash and flash that 300mb rom (which i have already done in the post 2 above this) or do i rename this 300mb file to PG186.zip so that the fastboot white screen AUTOMATICALY asks me if i want to update this file (flash a radio is what i understand this to be).
Please help guys, i have no phone and really stuck.
Don't restore a Nandroid backup before deleting wimax.img from the backup folder! If you don't, you'll overwrite the new Wimax keys with your old ones and the 4G won't work!
just to be clear this is the file im having issues with:
1. Download the stock ROM ZIP image from here: Sprint Stock ROM Image v 1.1.3.651.7
they say to flash it like PG186.zip but when i click on the link i see a 300MB rom file.
thanks
EDIT productRed, i just saw your reply ,i dont think any of that applies to me as im not using nandbackup nor have ever used that program or backup. tks

Ok thats the problem if ur going to activate a phone with sprint u need to have the old phone and the new phone off and then call them from another phone so they can activate the new esn..thats why when they try the ##3282 the password didnt work on the new phone cause the password they have is for the old phobe so fisrt call them activate the new phone and then the handsfree is going to the rest....but remeber dont use either the old phone or new phone to call them.

Engineering is ENG. SHIP is the stock bootloader. The ENG bootloader is hboot 1.04, SHIP (stock) is 1.30/1.40/1.50. When you go into the bootloader it says either SHIP or ENG by the bootloader version.
I bought this HTC explorer pico about 50 days ago, it worked totally fine . I rooted it added a custom ROM, still worked perfectly .
About two weeks ago i suddenly got a " No signal , Limited service error " . I thought the service might be down so i let it stay for a few hours.
The problem persisted and its been two weeks since i got any signals .
Things i did to figure out what was wrong:
1. Used the SIM from my HTC explorer and tested it on my bro's Nokia c7 , i got full signals and everything.
2. Used another SIM ( which was working perfectly on my bro's Nokia c7) on my HTC explorer and still got the same error of no signal limited service .
3. Searched around the web , found similar problems but nothing that could solve my problem ( some were solved by changing the sim , some were solved via contacting the service provider <- did all these but still the problem exists ).
I'd really appreciate it if anyone here could help me out.
If unfortunately there isn't any solution and if it is a hardware problem , could anyone help me out in restoring the phone to the stock ROM and locking the boot loader.

There is no way to relock the bootloader without HTC knowing it was unlocked and relocked. You can relock it, but it will be obvious to HTC that it was at one point unlocked.
Note that on their bootloader unlocking site it says that unlocking the bootloader may void some or all of your warranty. I haven't (thankfully) had experience with HTC's warranty policies, but by my reading, that means you may still be covered by warranty. My initial assumption would be that perhaps the warranty will still cover hardware defects, provided they are not caused by unlocking bootloader, or what you do with unlocked bootloader (i.e. custom ROMs etc.). But as I said, I haven't had experience. You could try and contact HTC on the matter.
I am trying to exhaust every possibility before i can send for the warranty claim because i have international warranty and no local warranty.
Come on guys i need help here at-least point me to a tutorial to restoring the phone to the stock ROM and locking the boot loader. Id really appreciate it .

Warning dont flash any other rom before this step in order to retain factory status you have to maintain the default rom on which rooting was done
for those who want to revert to stock from jaggy or any other make a clockwork backup of your stock rom even if it is rooted
Step 1 : if you have messed up in previous posts by our friend dont be alarmed
make sure you have clockwork mod of your original rom backed up in sd card or in the computer copied from sd card
to do this go to the recovery option choose backup and restore in this select restore and select the backup you did with your stock rom
Step 2 : download these files ( also noted in my system the android sdk was in c drive root as c:\Android else make a fresh installation of the android sdk ) GIVEN BELOW AT THE END OF POST

fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
(fastbooting system .img mentioned in previous post is not required as it will conflict with the hboot and it too tiresome to get the sock back)
Final step : now with the stock boot and recovery of htc default signed just restart your cell phone and got to settings > storage >factory reset
Ta da your phone is unrooted now for the grand finale lock the HBOOT
execute command : fastboot oem lock
to lock the boot loader
now it will show relocked now at this stage if you got your factory default ruu matched with the software version of your phone in my case it was
V1.31.728.1
then flash that ruu and vola your phone is crystal clear no hboot relocked or no rooting ever shown.

Then solving this problem may be possible through factory reset
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e
Solved this problem
I accidently solved the problem, but don't know the reason. Let me tell you the scenario:-
1. Using CM11-Kitkat_4.4.4 (no signal since 1-2 months, got signal sometimes for 20 sec-that too not more then once a day, tried maximum ROMs including stock, and all available methods on various sites)
2. Attached Phone to computer as "Mass Storage"
3. Via MiniTool Partition Magic:
a) resize the first FAT32(main sdcard) partition to make space
b) move (sd-ext) second EXT3 partition to shift free space at right side(sdcard & sd-ext will be together then)
c) deleted last(3rd) swap partition [as all these 3 partition are automatically created-if you partition sdcard by cmmRecovery OR aw3som3Recovery]
d) created a new partition(3rd at last position) by all available space (by resizing-1st, moving-2nd, deleteing-3rd) AS EXT4, labeled SD-DATA
e) Apply. (phone automatically restarted-but stuck at boot animation; I removed the battery and restart-all working with signal). I also check partition, I fount that CM11-ROM using the 3rd partition also(7% used). That's weird coz in CM11 doc I didn't found anywhere to create 3rd partition; I created it coz in CM12-LolipopROM it was mentioned.
**) Now partition order = SDCARD [FAT32 all remaining size of memory card], SD-EXT [EXT3 approx.. 900MB], SD-DATA [EXT4 approx. 1GB]
**) As per my knowledge, I think 2nd/3rd partition can be EXT2/3/4 (just a guess)
4. Now signal are working after restart since 12 hrs. And [also] [still] after flashing CM12-LolipopRom
5. NOTE: Its not working if I set location setting to "High Accuracy" SET IT TO [Device Only].
May be it help to someone.

while surfing huawei china forums I found this custom Rom (http://cn.club.vmall.com/thread-2182114-1-1.html)
Did any one tried it .. and if yes what is your feedback about it ?
I haven't tried his newest ROM B008, but I have tried several of his older modded ROM for the X1. Issue I have is that I can't get google play store or google services to work. I've tried varies version of goole play store and google service framework, but never could get it to work. Split view is nice...but it isn't automatic, you have to manually select the windows; not as good as Samsung implementation, but better than nothing.

it is sweet, i m using it, only 2 points to note before flashing it:
1) u need to be already on the official B008 rom (otherwise u will get the write to cust error)
2) the bootloader of your X1 must be already unlocked (if not u cannot flash via ADB)
for those using non china 4G sim, u may also get android.phone.com FC-ing during initial boot, no amt of wiping DATA or Cache (of phone itself or apps e.g. contacts, phone etc the usual sugg when u google the problem) will work, in this instance, simply switch to airplane mode, proceed to connect the X1 to your wifi and go abt dong all the updates via Huawei app store, i m not sure which update cured the problem, but when I switch off airplane mode after that, the FC disappears .. YMMV

there is actually a very simple workaround for google services (other than google+, which there is another solution), and it doesnt involve 'hacking' or meddling with system files, rooting is not even needed (although KangVIP rom comes pre-rooted)
because even on china roms, Huawei has actually implemented the google framework within, all we need are the correct apps, simply launch the default Huawei Store (App Centre) and search for Google Play, GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter and GoogleContactsSynAdapter. After installation of Play, just launch it and install other Gapps u need from there.
Hi all,
Small point to note, somehow Google always translates the Chinese word "shua" literally as the verb "brush" but it actually means the verb "flash" in this context.
Note that translations of "shua ROM" will end up being "brush ROM" instead of "flash ROM".

Sorry, I really have no idea what I had done to result in the FCs disappearing. In fact, I wasnt expecting it to be.
My original intention was to play around with it and conduct some experimental tweaks since I was already on it before reflashing to get rid of the FCs.
One other thing that may have caused the FCs to go away is Xposed framework, you can try installing it.
The attached file below is an old version, install it then update to version 2.5.1 via the Xposed app; I also installed the App Settings module (version 1.8) for per app DPI setting. In fact, this is the tweak I wanted to try on EMUI 3.0 B008, it worked on EMUI 2.3 B010 and I was hoping for the same favorable result on EMUI 3.0. It did.
It was after the above that I re-enabled mobile/data and discovered to my surprise the FCs were gone.
YMMV.
Unfortunately I couldn't make it so I'm back to use EMUI 2.3 B010.
Thank you for suggest me some methods.
ps / I got sme results. with Australian Boost sim is worked but Japan Softbank and Singapore StarHub SIM is won't work.

Today I try fix again then suddenly your method is work for my phone. I carefully follow methods then work.

Hi Potoatohead, after I installed the Xposed apk, I couldn't install the framework. I just got a hang (4.4.2 Emui 3.0). Downloading the 2.5.1 update and trying to install that result in install failed. Any clues?
Hi
I have recently aquired a Gionee W909 from China,
its running a Mediatek MT6755.
Since this phone is currently only available in China, the stock rom AmigoOS sv1.2 is the only rom I can find for it. and its based on lollipop 5.1
The phone comes without any gapps at all. Since I am using this in North America, I need all the gapps installed.
Kingroot works on this phone, so my phone is rooted with kingroot, trying to install gapp
I have googled a few articles saying install google framework, login service, play service, and then install vending in system/app via RE, and then install play store.
all the methods relating to downloading the service/framework apk, and then putting vending in system, have all failed catastrophically.
all of these ends up with a "service" has stopped working, and "com.google.process.gapps has stopped", i've tried installing everything in system/app, or some in system/app, always made sure chmod is rw r r, and nothing worked.
I have also been trying to flash tk gapps and open gapps, downloaded ver 5.1 tried both 32 bit and 64bit. The stock recovery menu has an option to flash a zip onto it, it just doesnt read the tk gapps or the open gapps, the installation always terminate after a few seconds.
so i wanted to flash a twrp or a cwm recovery onto it, but there isnt one made for this phone yet, so i found another gionee phone, gn9007's twrp recovery which was on a chinese site, and tried to flash that in with its own one click flashing software. and it failed. Which seemed to me that boot loader is locked.
so I installed drivers and adb and fastboot.
when i tried fastboot oem unlock, the phone did prompt me and ask me if i wanted to unlock bootloader, and i pressed volume up/yes, and it gives me an error saying unlock operation is not allowed. none of the other flash oem commands work, such as flash oem device-info or flash oem get_identifier_token or get_unlock_data
so now im stuck trying to install gapps on this phone.
any idea is welcome.
thanks
Edit 1
today i tried using flashfire to flash the gapps zip file, and it didnt work, flashfire just stayed black screen for hours, even though the phone is rooted, theres no twrp or cwm made for it, is there any other way? I have also tried google installer made for MIUI, and ended up with service has stopped working, and com.google.process.gapps has stopped
bump ><
I hope you find a solution to this, I guess the phone has just come out. I really want to buy this phone, just need those gapps.

Hi. i am interested in getting the same phone as well. but waiting till you, or someone else finds a solution to the Gapps Problem. the solution would be simple enough i guess, but needs a Dev to work a bit on it.
i would like to ask a few questions to you though about the phone.
1. If your phone is rooted, have you as a temporary fix tried connecting your phone as USB and downloaded apk files from the internet and installing manually ??
2. i have the Lenovo a588t flip phone and the selfie camera when the flip is open is inverted in all the apps example SnapChat/Instagram/Skype etc.. is it the same with the Gionee W909 phone as well.
3. is 4G working well on your phone ?
4. How often do you need to open the flip or everything works well from outer screen only. Picking calls etc.
5. are u able to run Dual Whatsapp and Dual apps for both the sims or only 1 app for the phone.
and anything interesting about the phone also you can state.. while i try to look for someone who can help fix this problem. thanks alot
EDIT1 :: this was the link we followed to convert our phone rom (Lenovo a588t android 4.4) to a rooted rom and also create a CWM recovery for the phone. im sure this might lead you somewhere. as its for MTK related phones. please have a look
https://www.myrl.net/article/43
EDIT2 :: try looking for a phone with a similar MTK chipset and try to install GAPPS on your phone that way. im sure that would help
EDIT3 :: Atleast you can upload ur downloaded ROM on needrom .com so others can avail benefit of it ?? lol
I bought a w909, it just arrived this morning. The seller made sure I knew gapps wouldn't work on it, but I'm fairly comfortable with following online steps to flash firmware (have done it in the past with Motorola Droid versions). So I'm thinking it shouldn't be too difficult once someone figures out how to bypass the Chinese googlewall.
It was quick and easy to root with Kingo.
I'd be fine with a Cyanogen mod too! Subscribing to this thread for updates on whether anyone has managed to successfully install working gapps.
Honestly I'd be fine without the Play store, just want gmail, calendar, etc.

Hey and congrats on this amazing phone. where did u buy it from and for how much.
can u please try to answer the above questions i have asked about the phone so i can make up my mind to get the phone.

I bought it from liaow dot com and the manager of that site was the most helpful and informative person I have EVER bought from. Most reassuring online buying experience I have ever had. The price wasn't the lowest I'd see across the internet, but it was fairly close... lower than Ebay and Aliexpress at least.
1. If your phone is rooted, have you as a temporary fix tried connecting your phone as USB and downloaded apk files from the internet and installing manually ??
I tested installing the gapps apk just to confirm that it wouldn't work (it didn't). But manual install of a 3rd party appmarket .apk worked great, no issues.
2. i have the Lenovo a588t flip phone and the selfie camera when the flip is open is inverted in all the apps example SnapChat/Instagram/Skype etc.. is it the same with the Gionee W909 phone as well.
I haven't tried any of these yet but I haven't had any inversion on the inner screen.
3. is 4G working well on your phone ?
I haven't tested a SIM card in it yet. I don't plan to until I can flash the ROM to something that will allow installation of gapps.
4. How often do you need to open the flip or everything works well from outer screen only. Picking calls etc.
You could get by without opening the flip phone at all. Everything works from the touchscreen and side hardware buttons. But flipping it open is pretty awesome for the physical camera button on the keypad and for dialing.
5. are u able to run Dual Whatsapp and Dual apps for both the sims or only 1 app for the phone.
Didn't test this yet.
and anything interesting about the phone also you can state.. while i try to look for someone who can help fix this problem. thanks alot
The stock apps are not great. Lots of Chinese bloatware. Particularly the embedded browser is bad... it's got the Great Firewall built in (google 404s).
Long shot is this phone will be AMAZING once it can be flashed with gapps. Until that time, it's not great.
@Jordstar
hi .. any update on the phone usage.. what about Gapps ?? any luck on that

None at all. The worst thing was, I rooted the device, then was playing around with it and tried to install the OTA firmware update. Whoops-- bricked the phone.
I have had no success even finding a Gionee representative whom I can ask for a new ROM, in English. No email address even.
I tried getting some support at Hovatek paid forum, but to no success. It's hard to get Windows to recognize the device and use the MTK drivers required to allow MTK Droid Tools or other flashing tools to work with it. The support at Hovatek was getting pretty frustrated with me, and was looking for a ROM and not finding one.

Here you go bro.. all 3 versions are here i believe .. v1.1 , v1.2 and v1.3 .. Lookup Version History for 1 and 2.
https://translate.googleusercontent...?id=55&usg=ALkJrhgcxz_nskOsTcaN72_pYQHOqLXEbg
Incase the link wont work.. go to google translate.. Translate from Chinese to English the link www.amigo.cn
and go to firmware downloads and select your mobile.. im sure you need to register somewhere (no need to register i checked).. but thats for you to do.. lol.. i did my part. im not sure if the downloads are OTA updates or full ROMS as of now.. but 1.6GB of data should be a ROM. in any case .. they have to be installed as a zip file from the SD Card.. so try doing that. Entering recovery is also mentioned in the Tutorial Link on the page. keep trying.
Edit/ you will also find the drivers etc for your model.. Try connecting your cell phone to your laptop.. it should show up some form of Desktop Software installation etc like all cell phones do.

This is so awesome. Thanks for your help man. I'll get this device back on track I swear. I'll post here when I have some success.
EDIT 1: saqibkhan, I owe you some thanks! The Amigo 1.3 from the link you gave me was very easy to install from sd card using stock recovery. The device is no longer bricked! The first thing I did was install third party app market Aptoide and attempt to install Google Play Services... but it force closes. Now to get to work on gapps...

your welcome brov.. and keep that link saved.. w909 is AmigoOS and all updates/roms will keep on coming there in the future.. btw all of what i read in Chinese forums while searching for you.. they mentioned something about W909 not being updated to MarshMallow .. that is soo very sad.. but lets see what gionee does..
1. Why dont you flash Gapps from the sd card recovery as you did the ROM try fixing permissions for it to work. Mess with those.
2. there is a Google Play app that install Gapps for you.. did you try that.. google it.
3. the same website.. has a device forum.. translate and website.. and Keep reading there.. or try posting.. im sure Chinese ppl might have had a solution for this. but needs time to research.
4. what about you manually place the Gapps files within the system folder after rooting your device ?? maybe that would work.. try it.
Hello Jordstar and Saqib, thank you for your comments. My friend has bought the device and is having the same issues as Jordstar unable to use Google services. Saqib, I believe if we are able to get twrp/custom recovery for Gionee we will be able to get Google working on it.
Also, Jordstar have you used whatsapp on the gionee phone. My friend is also having issues with whatsapp, unable to get sound notifications when someone sends a message.

1. I tried this and the install would hang. Fixing permissions didn't change this so I don't think it will work.
2. It's easy enough to use any third-party gapps installer to install gapps on the device. However, the gapps will force close and generate an error message several times per second until they are uninstalled... so they are blocked from the kernel layer, not just in the firmware.
3. I had a look through the translated device forum. Unfortunately came up with nothing yet. It's hard to do a proper search for the English terms specifically in the w909 thread.
4. How would I do this-- through a file browser?
@Jordstar im gonna get an amazing guy to help us out on this. im sure he would be able to. Let me speak to him.
and yes try using a file manager. ES FILE MANAGER would be a good choice.

Awesome. OK, I'll see if ES file manager installs on the w909. I have to unzip them and place them directly in the /sys/ folder, right?
Really excited to see if you can get that help. I'm willing to experiment now that I know I can brick/recover the device no problem.

AMAZING, thank you, I will try this and see if I can get it to work!
Edit: OK, I tried this and I get stuck again with MTKdroidTools.exe not recognizing the w909. When I launch the adb terminal from MTKdroidTools and type "adb devices" no devices are listed when the w909 is connected. I realized this was due to losing root once I updated it to firmware 1.3 after I bricked it (referenced earlier in the thread). I re-rooted with Kingo and this bricked the device again. I will have to downgrade the firmware and hope that version is rootable... will repost updates with an edit later.

Hi, i have recently buyed a zenfone max model ASUS_Z010D but unfortunately i have not enabled usb debugging, no backup, no web enabled...
never enabled or typed a pin lock code, and i putted on charge and i found it with a pin lock screen that blocks me to go further.
I have some datas that i can't loose so i don't whant to reset it before rescueing theese datas...
Asus assistance said to me this morning that the only way is resetting it and loosing all the data but i can't belive there's no way to bypass the code in some way... please help!!!

No you can remove lockscreen without losing data(android5.0+). You need a custom recovery for doing this.
First boot into your custom recovery then mount data after that go to file manager or use aroma file manager zip then using that file manager go to /data/system and delete
locksettings.db,
locksettings.db-shm,
locksettings.db-wal,
gatekeeper.password.key
Then reboot and you'r phone is unlocked.

thank you Parthib!!
i have linux and sometimes i don't see the phone with adb devices, so i thought to place the custom rom o an sd card to make it easyer.
but i'm not very smart with theese things and i've spended a lot of time looking around for a well working custom rom, but i see a lot of people that had problems.
the phone is lollypop 5.02
imageshack.com/a/img923/4365/43GsGg.jpg
imageshack.com/a/img924/8863/ggcVFA.jpg
could you help me finding a working rom for my phone?
i think that after having found a custom rom i can place it on the sd, go to recovery mode and flash th zip from sd right?
no problem in case but do you think i'll loose warranty if i flash the Custom Rom?
i've also downloaded from here: https www .asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-Max-ZC550KL/HelpDesk_Download
this firmware: UL-ASUS_Z010-WW-12.8.10.82-user.zip
that i think that is the original stock rom (hoping that after rescued datas i can turn back to original rom to rescue warranty too if it's possible) is it right?
(i don't bother beeing root and the device is of my girlfriend, so i prefer waranty than root - if it's possibile)
Thank you very much for the support

First You Don't Need Any Custom Rom if you only want to remove lockscreen .You only need a custom recovery like TWRP,CWM for deleting the locksreen database from data folder.
And Installing Custom Roms ,Custom Recovery And rooting will void your warranty .
I think this guide is to install TWRP in your Device : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwuiHBIts7M
And this video to remove lockscreen (skip to 5:45) : https://youtu.be/8iKL6lQnKAM?t=5m45s
