[Q] Modified ROM or Firm, several problems, Please help !!! - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The thing is.. i bought an M7 to a guy, who told me it was modified.. when i restarted the phone from settings... the camera couldnt save photos because it said that sd card was full (m7 does not use sd card) so he told me he had to start the phone loading the firmware from a usb with the OTG cable.. he did, and then the camera issue was solved.. he said it was because since the phone was modified the rom or firm (ive never rooted a phone...) some folders were mixed up so if you restart the phone from settings, some folders get mixed up making the phone believe theres a full sd card inside...
also the battery % does not drop... ive read thats because the modification of roms..
so i wanted to know is there anyway i can restore the phone to its original settings.. and stop having these issues, or at least put a rom without this kind of problems?
the guy said i cant.. till a new firmware comes out... :/
here are some pics... please help!!

sim-card not found after installing custom rom

problem SOLVED
I got no back-up by the way. it sayz
IMEI Unknown
battery 999%
Try installing another rom?
if you try out a few roms and they all dont work, then its properly a hardware error.
I am using this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032419
First time i installed Fear rom i had the same problem. I simply reinserted the sim card after some cleaning, rebooted the phone and it was all fine again

installing now
IMHO, first thing to do is check your SD Card. Do you see it under CWR ? Can you plug it into another material ? PC, phone, Camera, Nintendo DS, etc... ?
f you can see it somewhere else, then your flash gone bad. Just flash again.
i dont completely understand what you mean, but i can see my SD Card in my pc, other phone, and in CWR.

Fixed... Me so happy!!

Optimus 2x No Network

Hi.
I recently purchased a used Optimus 2x with a cracked screen.
The first thing I did, was to start it up with my sim card, to see if the phone was operator locked.
When I turned the phone on, it started up just fine and I entered my pin number just fine, but after that I didn't get any network on the phone.
There were only greyed out bars on top of the screen, with a red " x " next to it and next to that, there was a picture of a sim card with a red " ! " mark on it and also on the "drag down menu" there was a message saying "No network".
I tried reseting the phone to factory settings but that didn't help.
I think the phone is originally from another country, because after I started the phone after reseting it, the language was changed to spanish.
If anyone could help me figure out what the problem with this phone is, I would really apreciate it.
No network is odd, try flashing a different baseband, then root it, install rom manager and start fresh with a new operating system.

Thanks for the reply.
Is there a tutorial on how to flash a different baseband? Is there a certain baseband version I should get, or can I just install any baseband version?

Hi,

Thanks shpapy.
I managed to flash a new stock rom, but unfortunately the "No network" problem still persists.
However. When I looked at the back of the phone, I saw that the water indicator had turned red, so I assume that it has been water damaged.
Could this be causing the No network problem?
Or could the phone possibly be barred?

if you paid by credit card get a refund through them, or if ebay dispute the purchase and send PayPal images of the water sensor. Its screwed if it got wet.

Is there some way of fixing it?
I've got a rework station and could possibly replace the broken component if I knew which one to replace.
I've reballed a few xboxes before and normally I just work on gaming consoles.
But I bought this phone to give to my brother for christmas. The guy in the advertisement only said that the screen on the phone was cracked, but otherwise worked ok, so I figured it was an easy fix.
But now the f****r won't answer the phone anymore, so I guess he's long gone.
I paid in cash, so theres no chance for a refund.
I'll dissassemble the phone tomorrow and rinse the pcb with isopropyl, but this isn't really necessary as the component that is causing the issue is broken anyway right? But still, I guess it wouldn't hurt to give it a little rinse.
Just flash a new baseband+ ril i recommend starting with .218 bb+ ril and work up from there. Also use CM7 as a rom. I had the same problem your describing when i flashed the wrong baseband on mine. And if all else fails nvflash usually works in the end.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
Well I think I bricked the phone.
I flashed the 0405 baseband and 0405 ril and after that, the phone didn't even ask for a pin number anymore and also the Imei number was deleted in the proccess
Guess I should have read more about how to flash the phone properly before I started flashing.
Ah well. S**t happends, lol.
By the way if there is a way to fix this phone, I would gladly pay someone to fix it for me.
Just send me a pm if it's fixable and we'll work something out.
You ticked 'erase cp' didn't you?
Luckily you can write your IMEI back though.
Heh, use nvflash, then flash new baseband. I use .725 myself after flashing baseband > root> install cwm> flash rom.
@rusty i did that wrong once

Hehe. To be honest, I'm not even sure I flashed the ril file the correct way.
I placed the RIL zip file on the internal sd card and booted the phone into bootloader "the thing that was installed after I rooted it with nvflash", and installed the ril file from there.
I chose install zip from internal sd and chose the ril file and after that, no more Imei, lol.
But, like I said earlier, I'll gladly pay someone if they could have this phone fixed for me.
I really wanted to give this phone to my brother and it'ss really a shame it won't work, because I've already ordered a new replacement screen and everything.
My brother's really into android phones and I know he's been drooling about this phone and the samsung galaxy s2, so I really wanted to suprise him with this phone.
If anyone believe that they could fix this phone and get it up and working, please send just send me a pm.
Nvflash = flashing rom from low lvl, last resort, so no basebands etc.
There is tons of documentation on this, read it. It will actually make it simple to do and understand its in the development section: nvflash, smartflash(bb), getril, roms.. etc
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
Yes! I managed to fix it.
I flashed a stock rom back to the phone, using Smartflash and that fixed it.
When I turned the phone on, the Imei was back and I could make and receive phone calls.
The Rom file I used to flash the phone with was: BIN_LGP990AT-00-V10b-NEU-XXX-APR-05-2011+0
Thanks to everyone that halped
However, now I've got a different problem. I disassembled the phone and while disassemling it, I managed to snap the "antenna/ coax" cable that runs between the main Pcb down to where the microphone is located.
I tried searchin on ebay for a replacement cable, but couldn't find anything. Maybe I didn't search for the correct part.
Does anyone have one of these cables that they'd be willing to sell, or does anyone know where I might buy one?

Its true that new release of w8/x8 come with some ****ty trap and sort off, I can confirm this.. My advice is to stick with the stock kernel for a while until some dev can figure this out..
Btw** if you actually hit the bootloop after unlocking bootloader you should try to relock it, it might help
i didn't try to unlock bootloader ...is my phone's sd card reader(?) going all Fked up! it reads the sd card sometimes and sometimes says sd card damaged ...change sd cards till same problem...cant stand it

[Q] Cant get in hboot, computer doesnt recognize the device

htc inc s, brand new from ebay china seller ( I live in Greece), is s-on, never messed up with, never rooted all factory. It worked great for few days and after the first OTA update I cant get into hboot, adb doesn't see the phone, always the updating symbol on screen.Tried battery pull, volume down + power in all the possible timing and combinations but yet nothing! Also I tried battery pull, volume up + power it vibrates 3 times orange lid is on and black screen (on the forums is said that this is diagnostic menu) . So I think maybe this phone is a refurb and not new since the answer from HTC global support (after sending my IMEI and S/N) is that this phone is for Indonesian market and that its warranty expired year ago!
Can someone figure out what is going on and help maybe...

yay i think that ebay china seller has fooled you
i am not sur but it must be like this;
the phone must be from indonesian market.
(there is no reason for which htc global support will lie!!)
the ebay china seller must have resold it to you.!!
and then you flashed a european RUU and thats the problem.
i will try to hunt for solution.
may be some expert will come up with solution
keep patience

just in case asking; can you get into fastboot??
i dont think you can as bootloader doesnt start but asking it a s a last option

That probably is the problem. +1 I would find an official European RUU for the Incredible S and then run it. Or just unlock the bootloader and root it and live a long life with the Incredible S

O right nvm, unlocking bootloader is not possible because you need android debugging.... hmmm.... school has been wrecking me lately....
It might be possible to run an RUU though. Just have it boot and have it left in the state. Then try running the RUU. Of course I have never seen such a case as this and at this point, anything could be worth trying :/

The only other thing you could try is to get the latest RUU from HTCDEV.com and extract the ROM.zip file from the /temp directory and then copy it to the SD card and rename it PG32IMG.zip.
Then try rebooting using volume down and power and see what happens.

Why did you choose that RUU and ROM? This forum is for GSM version of the Incredible S. The Verizon version of the HTC Incredible 2 is a CDMA/GSM hybrid phone.
From the sound of it, I think your SD card is probably the root of the issue. That would explain why the OTA failed. Have you tried taking the SD card out and booting the phone without it. That might abort the OTA and allow you to get back to the HBOOT menu.

i did it with heimdall-cleanui, i think it was on GBT or GRT or GPT or something like that
i guess that was a huge mistake,
I found something intresting were some people can get into Download mode with a 301k Ohm resistance and a micro usb cable, but that was for the S3 and im not sure if that can work.
i would put the instructions here but i dont know if you understand german

If I understand it correctly, this 300k resistor trick is the same as a USB jig, and should work on the S3 mini. It may be worth a try building one is you can find instructions. Nothing to lose!

Oh that is same which I did you flashed it on mbr, gpt now your phone is completely dead .if you unbrick it you will get other problems like no imei etc the best solution I suggest is to take it to samsung and claim it in warranty.DON'NT DO ANY THING BY YOUR SELF BECAUSE WARRANTY WILL AVOID AND SAMSUNG WOULD NOT ACCEPT IT.

Restoring you efs would not restore your imei because novathor phones don't save their imei in efs I restored it many times but my imei doesn't came back so give to samsung they would give a new phone for free .don't tell them anything you did just say it was running fine and suddenly bricked.
ok ive tried the resistance, didnt worked

dude i dont think theyll give me a new one my warranty is expired for 2 month now AND its rooted.
If anyone can tell me a good (and not too expensive) service in Europe (good) or better in germany it would be very helpfull.
