It all started a month ago. I wake up and my phone has yellow letters and stuff in front of my screen and zero signal. I googled and found out about factory mode and such(root disable etc) and i managed to get it off my screen but the no service problem persisted. So again I learned through your great forums how to flash stuff how to unbrick etc. I managed to get a clean install with official samsung firmware after a lot of tries which means i installed a lot of extra stuff i dont know. So now I have signal but is not as strong as it used to be. In some occasions where eveyone has 4 bars i have 2. Or in closed places like a coffee shop where everyone has 2 bars i either have zero or no service and when someone calls me says that my phone is turned off. I noticed that the kernel hasnt changed, i might have installed a kernel that doesnt match my Model. I have a GT-I8190N android version is 4.1.2 broadband modem is I8190NXXANK1 and numder of construction is JZO54K.I8190NXXANK1. I always thought that the firmware brought its own kernel but i rly dont know. Should i flash the kernel I8190NXXANK1 you have on your site? With which app should i do it? Do i have to root again and get twrp just to flash that file? Isnt there any way to flash the kernel without rooting and without twrp like with odin for instance in download mode? Thanks in advance. Forgot to mention that when i try to flash the kernel with factory phone recovery its says signature verification failed.
Try install it through Odin, just like flashing firmware, but only wipe cache and dalvik cache before and after flashing. Ignore the system,data and internal/SD card partition(don't wipe them).
You need to find kernel .tar file,(flashable thru Odin, as .zip file can't be flashed by Odin).
You might want to look on the hardware side too.
Good luck

Thank you for your reply. I did install twrp because i couldnt wait and i installed the kernel through that. Still no changes. I replaced the antenna(im a hardware expert,software is what is killing me) with a brand new from the same model. Still 2 bars. Remember I have signal its just not strong enough as it used to be. So i think i might have flashed some junk while i was trying to learn how to flash like some weeks ago. Now i really dont know how to "wipe cache and dalvik cache before and after flashing. Ignore the system,data and internal/SD card partition(don't wipe them)." Is it by opening the recovery and choose "wipe data etc".Thank you for being interested in my problem. All I want is to have the signal back. Isnt there a way to FLUSH(delete/wipe) like everything. Every corruption or bad script and just bring it to factory. If we cant do that then can I install a custom rom that will overwrite the corrupted stuff and ill have full signal? If u know any good custom rom i would gladly flash it. May god( which i dont believe in ) take years from life span and give it to u if u help me fix this!

There a wipe button in TWRP, tap it, find advance wipe, chose cache and dalvik only, swipe, and its done.
If you suspecting an app is the reason, just uninstall the app, but if its a script, you need to check with the dev how to deactivate/kill/delete it.
But as I know, if you do a factory reset and wipe data partition, your phone will be just like a new phone just come out from factory, only basic firmware is present( its 'factory reset' right )
There is a lot of custom ROM in the forum, need a little reading to know if its got what you want.
And carefull bout posting something other than android or device, as it is stated in the forum rule. Better pray no mods or op see this.

Could it be the fact that im using XX code and im in greece? All my friends in greece have XX and they have no issues.... I think something is wrong with the hardware but might be the motherboard itself... Where i work there is a lot of humidity, so maybe it cant be fixed. Oh well ill buy a new one if that is the case. Thanks again for your time.

my nephew had my hero for about 2 months and started putting aosp and cyanogenmod roms on it, which i don't have an issue with, but he installed a "tweak" made by a now infamous "user". (i don't think i need to say a name, everyone knows who i'm talking about). i have been searching to see if there is an uninstall method, but since the dude's account is closed, i cant find a way to get rid of the tweak. do i have to RUU and re-root in order to get rid of it, or is there a way to do it so i don't have to go thru resetting the phone up? any help would be greatly appreciated.
...xfrobex
from the aosp GB wiki.....
you need to wipe/format your phone, in clockwork recovery: Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. Under Partitions menu (or Mounts & Storage in 3.0.0.5) in recovery: Format boot, system, data, cache. Under advanced: wipe Dalvik Cache.
Then re-flash your rom/gapps. I suggest using titanium backup and backing up your apps, also.
I believe that is the only way to remove the tweaks .
Yup wiping and reflashing will take care if it as chin has said
®parallel universe®
Thank you ch1naski, i appreciate it. I'm glad it is going to be that easy, i was about to back-hand my nephew if i couldn't remove it.
Lmfao. I bet your nephew is really thankful.
Root/Hack-Mod_Always *
Yeah, he is. But I did tell him he will get the smackdown if he doesn't nand before flashing anything else. Hopefully that will get him into the habit of nandroid-ing whenever he tries anything new
u dont really need to wipe anyhting if your on cyanogen or aosp just reinstall the rom itself and thatll return the build prop back to normal.

This may very well be true.... I personally find it more comforting to go fresh when there may be hidden tweakisms lurking about...clear the pipes, so to speak.
Hello All;
I have decided to try and male my HP touch pad an Android only touch pad.
I need help though as i am a novice at best.
I am looking for help on the files i will need. Want to install CM 10 recent and CWM.
Do i need a boot loader or will that be in the ROM?
And what other files will i need?
i am assuming i need a ROM, Recovery, and GAPPS. Other than that i am not sure.
Found someone on the WebOS Nation who is willing to help so i dont want to go into this like and idiot, i want to have my ducks in a row.
Any help will be appreciated
thanks

Good point, Hey let me ask you something.
I like flashing ROMs but I always end up with a mess. Moboot, i dont think updates as grub2 does. So, i have thought the best way to switch ROMs would be treating the ROM as a first install, does that make sense and do you agree?
Or do you know a method to change ROMs that works well for you?

Android doesn't update the way Linux does, it only updates apps; the bootloader isn't going to update neatly from a package manager. At the same time, updating the TP's bootloader (moboot) is usually unnecessary. On the other hand I usually like to keep my recovery (TWRP/CWM) up to date. When I switch ROMs I just wipe and flash from recovery. Never had a problem.

What rules are you following? Full wipe? Leaving extra stuff in moboot is normal. You can delete the extras if they really bother you.

You should wipe system as well and if the extra uimage is still there you can delete it using a file manager after booting

As far as I know, most ROM install scripts automatically wipe system for you. Can't hurt to try, though.
Thankfully I have this zip again thanks to sstar posting it the other day. This zip will wipe your ulmage clean. Just flash it as you would a rom, than flash rom and gapps after.

No offence but that's crappy advice, imo. If you tell people that the only way to recover from a soft brick is by restoring stock, you'll help raise a full generation of idiots. Flashing a stock .FTF can do many things if you don't know how to use Flashtool, including wiping the internal storage (which I'm sure OP doesn't want), and is only really necessary if nothing else works.
@H0lmEd: Try flashing the TWRP recovery (2.8.5.0 is the latest available version) and while you're at it, flash the boot image of the nightly you've downloaded. Boot into TWRP, then backup your data partition (if you have any data on there that you'd like to restore later). Then wipe /system, /cache, /data and dalvik (basically anything but your SD card and internal storage), and flash the ROM zip. You should be up and running again.
If you want to restore any apps and such, you can try just restoring from TWRP, or (preferably) using an app (like Titanium Backup) to restore your apps and their data from the recovery backup.

I believe that your intentions were good, as were mine; I was simply pointing out that your advice is valid and satisfactory, but that there are many methods that are more efficient and overall superior.
You are free to remove your account should you so please, but having somebody correct you is no reason to wish to do that -- must I switch schools (or worse, commit suicide) because my math teacher corrected me when I had made an error!? We're here to help other people learn, both you and me. There are hundreds upon hundreds of people that know better than both of us, and we are here to learn from them. Taking the comment of your advice to your heart is no way to go about it (or anything else in life, for that matter). Instead what you should see is a short critique of your advice, followed by a comment on what is better and why that is so -- see the knowledge and helpfulness, don't stop because you did something that wasn't perfect.
And though my comment was not meant as a derogatory one, I do see that my poor choice of words could and, in fact, should, be improved upon.
I've recently tried flashing pixel experience and various other roms via twrp. However, Everytime I load the phone up, I either have no service, data, or sometimes 3g briefly. When I try to go to carrier settings I get a ".com.android.phone has stopped." Error message, any advice on how to fix this?

Obviously you haven't done a proper clean flash. I've flashed every rom available and no fcs. Only time I've had signal trouble was with att(gsm). Never lost signal, would just go from 2 bars to none then back again, but never lost signal.
Oh, search pe thread for my name to see the correct way to flash.

1 - gapps has nothing to do with signal

Sorry man, but I'm not much of a spoon feeder - give a man a fish etc etc.
Get some sleep - relax - tackle it tomorrow - maybe without the frustrating you will find what you need to see (it is right there).
Riddle me this - a rom is a rom and as a rom a rom can be found in the ___ section. Simple isn't it.

Hey, after decrypting my phone and using the method you posted in the pe thread to flash roms, I am still getting service problems. I've also noticed that anytime I have tried to open carrier settings on the phone, I get a ".com.android.phone has stopped." So I cant update the prl at all. I've seen people post about modifying the APN settings but I thought that was irrelevant on sprint. I'm honestly out of ideas.

Well, when nothing helps, it's time to go back to stock.
Get firmware for your location - different firmware (modem especially) for different markets.
Don't use any "tools" or .bat files you find here and flash with fastboot - do 1 command at a time and note results, (remove sim before flashing and reinsert after you've booted into stock once).
See what happens. Sometimes things get messed up enough to where flashing stock is the only thing to do. That'll really clean it out.
I had a real funky issue when going from att to vz. Spent hours with straight talk trying to sort it out (had 4g but no calls or texts). Flashed stock - popped sim in - bang - everything working, and has been ever since and I've flashed them all, some several times, still good.

When I first got my xt1806 I didn't load a Sim card in it when I powered it up, I immediately unlocked the bootloader, installed recovery, flashed a ROM and just used WiFi for a few days with no issues. But once I did put a new Sim in it I noticed all I could get was 3g - and with every other ROM I installed all I could get was 3g no matter what I tried. The only solution was to fastboot flash back to stock, install the Sim, power it up, & let it "register"(send a text or make a call & also verify 4g works) with the network. I'm not saying you did the same thing I did, but the fix should be flashing back to stock.
*Copy your internal memory somewhwere before you reflash stock in case everything gets wiped.
*I'm on Verizon btw, so my experience may or may not apply to Sprint.
Sprint problems with 4g
I know this isn't my thread but I shall try anyway. I have the Sprint version of the g5 s plus. I have tried every way of flashing a rom that I can think of (all wipes rom then gapps magisk, magisk then gapps, rom and no gapps or magisk, etc.). I cannot manage to keep 4g after flashing. I have backed up my efs with twrp and tried restoring it. Nothing. I've used fastboot to flash nhlos erase modems1&2 flash fsg. I tried *#*#463whatever to turn it back on and nothing. I've checked all settings and tried all things I know of. Still nothing. The only way I can get/keep 4g is by using stock rooted which I hate. . Is this just a specific problem to my type of phone or is there something I'm missing? Is there a different firmware or modem I could use or something? Any thoughts or ideas would be great cause I'm stumped.
EDIT
You just have to know, that there are some ways to restore everything
In my Case I had Bootloader unlocked already (ofcourse)
And I just was stuck on the TWRP Part... I never knew that was soo easy, but you just have to do it properly.
I will make an extra Tutorial now, because it will save many people from going insane
Because of this I didn't sleep for 40 Hours now already, because I was deeply shocked and some very very nice Pictures and important Communications would be gone... and much work in Optimization etc. etc.
Yes!

Hi,
I just tryed to update from beyond rom 5.2 to 5.8 and so I flashed it...
Then I got a Bootloop, because I didn't updated TWRP before.. so I got into my TWRP and flashed TWRP...
But after that I could not got into TWRP anymore, maybe because I forgot to add multidisabler..
So I flashed stock rom...
However Iam now stuck... I have important Data on the Internal SD and also the backup,
But I only come to the points where it asks me to delete all my data.
Is there any way possible to get the data?
Install TWRP somehow or get to a system?
Please suggest whats possible?
It's an emergency...
Hope you can help me & all who have this problem one day.
Best regards
I can only get to standart recovery, normal firmware & system doesn't boot - Bootloop...
I tryd to flash older firmware (ASH1, ASG8 & newer ASK1), but it doesn't boot system, always ask to factory reset and so on....
really ****ed up...
I hope there is another Way, then directly extract the data from the memory component... wich would be very expensive...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXDUhhyY2rE
basically the new flashed standart rom erases itself after first start, probably because it detects, that the system was modified before (beyond rom) then it reboots itself and there is no system anymore to boot, then it goes in a kind of pre recovery with the option to reboot, factory reset (including all data!) or reading a log...
DAMN I SHOULD BACKUP EVERYTHING ON PC... ALWAYS!
Still I really want to find a solution and I hope some pro can help on the S10.
No Solution for this.... it seems.
Omg i found the solution and got everything back
yes!!!! Great stuff
