HTC Rom Upgrade+Sprite Backup = different password??

Here's the story. I upgraded to the new HTC ROM via the download from their website. I performed a Sprite backup prior to doing this and then restored after it was complete. Upon restoring and restarting it prompted me for my usual pin password (required by my company when we setup push email). I entered it in and...Incorrect password. Tried again...incorrect password. Tried anything else I could think of and...incorrect password. Nothing seems to work. Does it revert to some sort of default? Or am I SOL and need to hard reset and start from scratch?
Thanks...

Did you check my site? I have quite a few of the "untouched" roms there.

Problem Solved haha! After you update the ROM, actually setup a PIN password (what it was before). Then, when you do the Sprite backup it will all work just fine. Only issue I had was getting my theme to work but it's all good now!

your sig doesn't really tell me much what to expect on your site. i just see "check out my **** face" or something like that on the button/banner. your sig should include what to expect on your site.

Everybody pretty much knows his and atw's sigs link to a couple of the most useful ftps out there, and on the FAQ you can clearly see they're both linked to FTPs

Hi,
what options did you use for the restore(after upgrading to 6.1):
corrupted registry controls?(checked?)
merge/replace ?
merging or fusion(translated from french) Level 1/2/3 ?
restore databases?
thanks in advance
best regards

Handsfree Activation Bootloop FIX

Hi Guys. First off I'm posting this for information in hopes to help anyone else having this problem. I'll go over the problem I was having. What caused the problem for me and the steps I took to resolve it.
Problem:
A Handsfree activation bootloop. More specifically, no matter which rom, RUU, OTA, recovery or firmware I flashed, my phone would go threw a HFA and PRL update, say that it was successful and reboot on it's own and start the process over again. If at some point by chance I could catch it and disable the vDM.apk would be the only way I could stop it and boot normally. I tried resetting my profile, factory resets, Sprint support (which was completely useless) and everything else mentioned above. I even threw the kitchen sink in for good measure. lol. I was able to make phone calls, receive text and mms. I even had LTE and 3G service. But my wifi calling and sprint zone didn't work. So I knew something wasn't activating properly.
Cause:
Well for me it started when I accidentally flashed a M7 rom. Yeah don't laugh, it happens. Anyway, in recovery it said it failed but not before it formatted "/dev/block/mmcblk0p37" which is the system partition on the M7. But on the M8, it's the /carrier partition. So it erased all my info and filled it with a bunch of s**t. To the point that the partition was full and activation couldn't write to it. It also injected a bunch of s**t in "/dev/block/mmcblk0p39" which is the /devlog partition on the M8. So just a big mess. This is just how I got to this point. I'm not saying this your cause but the fix might help you.
Fix:
1 Get your self to a point that you are booted up to a rom. If you can't, try flashing an international rom made for sprint like "insert coin" for example. Those don't HFA bootloop from my experience.
2 Download MSL reader from the market. And get your MSL you'll need it later.
3 With a good root explorer, go to /carrier folder, do a backup of it (just in case) open the folder and delete everything in the folder.
4 Go to /devlog folder, open it and delete everything in there. (You don't need this stuff, it will rewrite itself).
5 Download the zip at the bottom of the post, extract it and copy the contents to your /carrier folder. Don't worry about the /devlog folder. leave it empty.
6 Now your going to flash a RUU. Download the one you want. I used https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001604379 (Don't worry it won't get you S-on or lock your bootloader). It will probably do a HFA again and it should fail. If not, try disabling it. Because we need to get to the dialer.
7 In your dial pad enter ##786# and go to edit mode. Enter your MSL if it asks you. Go to the menu button at the upper right and hit reset. Go threw the promps, the phone should reboot and restore. Let it boot up. It will go threw HFA again. But now you'll notice it activated properly. At this point your all done. Flash a custom recovery again. Profit.
Special Thanks to @Captain_Throwback You rock.
Let me know if this helps. Please post any questions and I'll try guiding you threw.

Dude iv been having some serious issues with data. I'm going to try this and see what happens thanks.

What ROM?
If it is stock based you can try this, either go through TWRP and select file manager or do this in the zip before flashing.
Go to system/app/HtcOMADM_SPCS and rename the apk by adding .bak after .apk.
After the phone boots and you pass setup you can always rename the file by removing the .bak
You might get better results by posting this question in that ROM thread, or make a thread in the Q&A and put the ROM name in the title of the thread.

Nexus 6 No LTE with IMEI correct, Bad "0" IMEi I have LTE?!?!?!? Heeeeelp!

Ok, Ladies and Gentleman I need some deep thought processing here for some help with a Motorola Nexus 6. In brief here is what the problem is, a while back when flashing Pure Nexus rom, I experienced a loss of my IMEI. I can restore my IMEI but if and when I do, I lose any 4g and LTE connectivity. The phone functions in 3g with data and phone etc... just slow as molasses but if I restore my IMEI to the one that doesn't show up my IMEI correctly I get back LTE/4g and all works fine also. I've tried going all the way back to the original firmware which was saved to computer and restoring it. Same thing, I have IMEI but no LTE/4g. restore bad efs and get LTE/4g back. I've tried going through all the factory firmware's and flashing by ADB and or TWRP and nothing firmware wise will allow me to restore the IMEI and have LTE/4g signal. If I restore the bad efs and get OOOOOOOO for IMEI when using the *#06# on any firmware version, I regain LTE/4g functioning! I am using Pure Nexus 7.1 now and can still see the 00000000 as a IMEI, if I restore my efs and get IMEI back showing correctly, no LTE/4g signal! My phone can only function as it should as long as the IMEI doesn't show correctly! I have tried just flashing base bands and other segments of any rom and still the problem persist! I have even tried restoring an EFS from another nexus 6 and still no help. It's not the sims because I've tried AT&T sims and Verizon sims from other phones and it does the same thing! I've tried flashing with a sims in the phone and without. Any ideas??? It's like somehow a correlating segment of a file is not being recognized when the correct IMEI is present, like some thing some where in the efs, IMEI, and radio are not taking to each other so to speak, unless it shows the zero's! Brain waves come on and help me out here!!

Have you tried doing a fresh install of a complete factory nexus image? (i.e. entirely wiping the device)

Thanks, and Yes, about 30 different times, using Google developer site original factory firmware, using ADB and or TWRP all the way back to original image, which I have saved as I said in the original post! I don't have a problem restoring IMEI it's just if I do, the phone will not connect to LTE/4g no way no how. I have to have a "0" IMEI for the phone to function as it should actually function and the LTE/4g radio to work, something strange is a miss!

Alrighty, no need to yell.... The factory image is flashed with "fastboot" NOT adb or TWRP. Just wanted to clarify how you were returning the phone to stock.

Yes I said thanks because I was yelling! Jezz, get a grip THIS IS YELLING! ADB/Fastboot both tools are used to flash, extract etc.. with your computer, so obviously one cannot flash/restore etc... without using the proper tools via computer!

Try this:
1) Install "Change APN" app from Google store
2) Open ChangeAPN and click the "option" ( the 3 vertical dots) in the upper right-hand corners.
3) click "reset to default"
4) exit the app
5) perform carrier reset ##3282#
6)If needed: after the phone reboots, perform PRL/Device config update. That's it and you should have LTE data.

Thanks! Ok, Itried that, restored my IMEI, "reset APN to default" Tried Carrier reset ##3282# and it says "NO Cellular Network" even though I am showing my network and 3G. So, I rebooted and same thing, went to PRL and tried to update and it says "update error" but it will refresh!

You clearly don't know the difference between a recovery, the bootloader and the operating system.
ADB is used when the phone is on and is not how you flash a factory image. Fastboot is used in the bootloader and is the proper method of restoring to factory.

Look, I came on here to discuss a situation and or problem, which is what I thought this web site was known for, which I havent run into before, in that way not only do I get some help and or suggestions which might help me but help others at the same time who might have the same problem and or will have in the future and find possible solutions! If you don't have anything positive to add to the conversation/situation/problem at hand you are wasting my time, others time and most of all just making a fool out of yourself being childish and immature. Most on here come for solutions not looking to nitpick and try and belittle others like they know everything, which you don't, otherwise you would have given a solution! So you can continue to act like a troll or just leave the situation be and by the way, you ever hear of ADB Sideload??

No, you can use ADB sideload to flash a ROM which requires you to be in the recovery. Standard ADB cannot be used to flash a ROM.

Thanks, I've used both of those methods, I have even tried just flashing individual parts all by themselves to see if just one part would give an error of some kind while flashing, no errors on any flash of any kind, the only difference being that if I read them correctly that on those methods it said to wipe data factory reset in recovery, before reboot, the Flashall bat file reboots automatically into image just flashed, I usually reboot as last command, if that makes any difference, I've even tried wiping then just flashing the new bootloader after a wipe, because it basically acts like a security checkpoint and partition manager, then rebooting and flashing the rest of one of the google firmware versions for the nexus 6.

Oreo Update help

Ok I live in canada and I bought a brand new note 8 off someone. It works great. I just noticed it's on android 7. So tired do OTA but it's says I'm on latest. Bear with me I'm not tech guy at all I'm going take it to shop and get them to help me or something. I called one cell place told me I have get a sprint card from USA that is active and has data to get update. That's not possible cause I don't know many people in USA. So I tried kies it tells me to down load smart switch I do it and I get my device is up to date. I have the SM-N950U. I think after this I stick with one from provider. I just don't wanna sign new contract. So traded for this one for my phone and cash. I really love it but I like features of android 8. So if there a link where I can get the update file and stuff I need for Odin I will have shop do it for me. I don't wanna mess up my phone but Im hoping get android 8 and samsung 9.0 then I be happy. Any help be great. If I can get to states or get someone mail me sprint sim lol be so much easier but I don't see that happening soon lol Thanks

You don't need a Sprint sim card you can do it yourself using odin and it's really easy to do.. What's the baseband that you're currently on? Tap settings then about phone and then software information and read the baseband. I will get you the link for the update firmware you need.

Here you go this is the August update for Sprint and the very latest one they have out right now although you can upgrade further but I wouldn't advise it yet since those aren't fully public yet.. This is the link you need to get the firmware from https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904010789
After you're done downloading it you need to unzip it 1 time and put the files in their respective places and ignore the HOME_CSC file. Just turn the phone off and boot into download mode holding the power button the volume down button and the Bixby button all at same time and then you can read the screen and continue. Make sure you download the correct odin too by the way Odin 3.13.1 is the latest according to https://samsungodin.com and you can download it there.

So I should just wait. Does this mean there not official update for my phone maybe I will get the ota. It just not out yet. Is that why my phone saying i have latest version

That is the official update.. Since you're not using Sprint you're never ever going to get the over the air updates again unless you decide to switch to Sprint.. For example I'm on Verizon and I get the OTAs but if I were to switch to Sprint I'll never get the updates again unless I go back to Verizon and the reason this is, is because Sprint doesn't send out Verizon's firmware updates and Verizon doesn't send out Sprint's updates.. This means you have to do it yourself and the very latest update for Sprint is the link I posted all you have to do is download and flash it and if you've never done it before now is the best time to learn because if you're not switching to Sprint you're going to have to do it.

Oh ok I thought you said I wouldn't recommend doing it lol I just got confused. I be happy with oreo. I use pie on my buddy phone not huge difference. I thought different band that why said not recommend it. I just don't wanna brick my phone lol I don't have another phone that's all

Sammobile is slow as hell I'd turn window defender off or download it with your phone and then transfer to a computer.. After you download the firmware just flash the needed files and not HOME_CSC yea whichever one you find should work just fine..

do I just need do thru odin or do I have do second step update from sd card from recovery. I just wanna make sure, cause once I do all this I wanna have all I need. I have odin and now downloaded the file you showed me thanks. Some youtube videos I watched this why I get confused they do bt/ap etc then after reboot shut off phone reboot from recovery then update from sd. so I just wanna make sure I have all.

Sorry for all questions I just wanna make sure I have everything. I been quoted 40-70 dollars to do it so if I can do it better lol

No you don't do anything but odin. First slot you put the BL file.. When you put the 2nd file in the AP slot it's so big that odin's going to say it stopped responding but leave it alone and it'll finish checking it and then move on to CP and then the CSC file and then tap start and give it about 10 minutes and that's all you have to do nothing else!! Only fill in the first 4 slots ignore the rest of them!

Lancelot IMEI issue

Hello there.
I've got another problem with my lancelot. I've managed to rooted it successfully and install waveos, however, I still got an issue with no gsm data. I've found out, that my imei is missing - after typing *#06# phone shows you only hex serial number. It also does not show anything in system page in options.
I've read something about and tried to put back original imei back from the sticker. However, hydratool cannot open mtk module - it opens and before it is even able to load itself fully, it forceclose with no errors in log (it is the only module that it cannot open, rest works fine XDn't) and rest of the "tools" are simply crap.
What can I do? I did not have imei even when rolled back to miui 12 (I though it might be the issue, but it is not).

Here is a nice full guide that searching it certainly took less than writing this post ==> done by VD171
Make sure to thank him if you successfully solve the issue.
On a side note: Learn how to search stuff, it will save a lot of time for you and others.

You are definitelly right. I simply spend whole day on this and got actually tired of looking stuff, that leads to paid solution. I've even though of manual editing corrupted parts of rom (nvram etc), have working nvram from other phone as a correct matrix to do so.
Hope it works, I'll try it tommorow.

To edit nvram partition you need to flash engineering ROM first.
Hydra tool works, but it only works on engineering ROM, like I just said. And it's actually one of the main tools to fix IMEI.
Also Hydra tool isn't paid, what are you talking about?

Hydra ain't paid? That's good to know. I've got problem starting it though, mtk exe forced close itself before it loaded itself with no errors in logs, so I gave it up. I'll not have time today to do anything here, but I'll try in the following days.
I just assumed that changing imei is paid, just like getting rid of simlock years away.
