Hi, few days ago I tried to flash CM11 and was disappointed with the no signal / no IMEI / no SIM problem...
I found a solution that worked perfectly for me :
1) Download and install latest recommended CWM recovery 6.0.4.5, easy to find on XDA
2) Download the latest 4.1 (not 4.3 or you will be stuck with KNOX security) firmware (on Sammobile for example).
3) Download latest CM11 nightly (and/or Paranoid GAPPS if you want them...) and copy the archive files on your SD Card then remove the SD Card from your phone.
4) Download latest modem for GT-I9305 (XXUEMK1).
5) Reboot in Download mode and flash CMW Recovery using Odin, Heimdall (tutorials on XDA...).
6) Reboot into CWM Recovery.
7) Wipe EVERY partition including those in "mounts and storage" section.
8) Reboot in Download mode.
9) Extract the downloaded Samsung package and flash the .tar.md5 file using Odin, Heimdall.
10) Reboot again in Download mode.
11) Flash the latest downloaded modem with Odin or Heimdall.
12) Power off your phone and then put back your SD Card with archive files on it.
13) Boot into CWM Recovery and do a Wipe Data/Factory reset and wipe /system partition in "mounts and storage" section then flash your archive files.
14) Reboot normally.
15) Enjoy.
All of these steps may not be necessary, you may just have to flash the latest ClockworkMod Recovery, wipe everything and try again to flash your CM11 ROM. But this is to be sure that the problem does not comes from somewhere else by restoring the phone at its factory state.
I know this is very long, but I think you could have broken some partitions with previous flashes, this guide helps you to repair bad things and you should flash all 4.4.x stuff using the latest ClockworkMod Recovery version.
I hope this will work for you guys, send feedbacks !
Hi,
I upgraded my Android to version 4.4.4 via the updater following these steps (from what I can recall).
1) I downloaded the latest Release version & the latest Gapps files locally to the tablet & went to recovery.
2) I took a backup, wiped Dalvik cache & apply update from sdcard.
3) I ran the Android release build zip file but forgot to run the Gapps zip file.
4) Android upgraded to version 4.4.4 but when I log in I get prompted that 'Unfortunately Google Play Store has stopped' . As I forgot to run the Gapps zip file that is to be expected.
When I boot into recovery it can only see the following directories & not the update folder where the Gapps file was downloaded.
Android
DCIM
LOST.DIR
appdata
clockworkmd
downloads
ringtones
wallpapers
The recovery doesn't seem to be able to see the sdcard & only the internal storage.
However if I copy the Gapps zip file to any of the folders above, boot to recovery again it won't see the zip file.
I also seem to have wiped my backup trying to recovery the situation so can't roll back.
Within the recovery menu I've tried to mount/unmounts the below but it still can't see any of the folders.
Mount /boot
Unmount /cache
Mount /data
Mount /system
unmounts /sdcard
The above is my current settings but I've tried mounting them all.
To complicate the matter further the USB port on the tablet is broken so I can't connect it to my computer.
Previously to transfer files I used a ftp client on my laptop & Wifi File Transfer Pro on the tablet.
I don't know whether to finally give up on my touchpad so any help/advice is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chip

Access to the sdcard has to be enabled by the developer. You must have installed one that doesn't (since you didn't specify which it was)

Here is the build info currently on the tablet.
Kernel Version:
3.4.82-tenderloin
Mod Version:
ev_ternderloin=testing-2015.01.22
Build number:
ev_tenerloin-eng 4.4.4 KTU84Q eng.flintman.20150122.215911 test-keys
If this build doesn't recognise the sdcard, should it not recognise the Gapps zip file on the internal storage?
There is 1.4GB in total on the internal storage with 388MB free.
Do you know if there is anyway I could get a build of Android & Gapps on the tablet & upgrade to that?
Thanks for responding to the thread.

I doubt you've used the latest and proper way to install 4.4/5.0 ROM's. Go here. Start over and follow the instructions to the letter. Read everything first and decide how you want to proceed before doing anything.
Hey Guys,
I have been getting an 18MB OTA for my Micromax AndroidOne. However the update keeps failing. I have captured the OTA. The lInk is:
Update to LMY47K
The update failed maybe because I was rooted. But then I factory reset the phone so now, Root should technically be gone. Before doing factory reset, I had also removed root from the SU app. Still, when I try to install OTA update, I am getting an error. So I Captured the OTA and then tried to flashed the zip via recovery as well as ADB Sideload. Both of them gave the same error at the Verifying Current System stage:
Verifying current system...
"/system/bin/install-recovery.sh" has unexpected contents.
E:Error in /sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted
The same error occurs every time via both flashing methods. Any idea guys??
Thanks
PLEASE FLASH ON YOUR WON RISK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY BE CAUSED TO YOUR PHONE
Finally
DO THE FOLLOWING AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK OR DAMAGE YOUR PHONE
Finally it's done. I did the following steps: (Obviously backup data first)
1. I Unlocked the bootloader *LOST ALL DATA AS EXPECTED*
2. Flashed Philz Recovery (You can install any other but this recovery will be lost once flashing official zip as a result making Official Stock ROM and Official Stock Recovery)
Did these above 2 steps using AndroidOne Tool Kit. There are thorough instructions and warning to do so.
3. Downloaded the official update file from here. Only LMY47O file. Copied it on an External SD card
4. Go to Philz recovery, Select Wipe and then Clean to Install ROM (Preferably without inserting the SD Card).
5. Now insert the SD card, wait for a minute for the recovery to recognize your card and then select, Install Zip and then select from SD Card. Select your zip files, confirm installation.. Reboot once done
6. Once done, you will have a brand new OS. Enter all the information. and you will get the next two updates OTA and get installed just fine
Enjoy Your latest update!!

Hi nexi4droid, greetings of the day.
A few points:
1. I have NOT copied this stuff from anywhere. I have written it myself. However it is but OBVIOUS that the instructions are very similar to other present ALL OVER THE WEB as that is how it is done.
2. Also, as you must have seen, I have given links to official pages of toolkits or OTA captures from where I have taken stuff. If I wanted to "just Copy-Paste", I would not have done so. I am well aware of how much efforts you developers take to bring us custom ROMS and special tools. So, No I am not the type of guy that steals or copies other people's work
3. I went through the link you have given and I could not find identical instructions anywhere on that beautifully blog. But then again, as I said in the first point. That is how it is done so you will find similar instructions all over the web.
4. And finally, My post is OLDER!! than your http://dileepworld.blogspot.in/2015/08/solution-for-canvas-a1-getting-back-ota.html So if anything, I should be blaming you, not me. But I wont as it does not make any sense. Everyone reads things from different places and tries various things the find on the web and then finally may post what worked for them. I did the same in my words taking part instructions from 1cefire's post and the AndroidOne Toolkit (Links in the OP).
I hope I have cleared my self and have no intention to offend you. Have a great day
Hello,
I'm running a rooted Lollipop 5.0.1 ("LRX22C.WW_epad-V12.14.1.17_20150713 044030454_201502120108") on my ASUS MemoPad 7 (ME572C) (WiFi + LTE) and I'd like to install the "Xpose for Lollipop" framework to it.
Therefore I downloaded the necessary files ("XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk" and "xposed-v72-sdk-x86.zip"). Installation of the apk was no problem, but I ran into problems when trying to install the zip. It seems that I only can install it via a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP. And to install one of this it's presupposed to have an unlocked bootloader. But I learned that it is currently impossible to unlock the bootloader officialy.
So I tried the following to install the zip without having a custom recovery:
tried the apps "Flashify (for root users)" and "[ROOT] Rashr - Flash Tool" without success. Flashify reports to have installed the zip but when I opened a file browser to check if the files were copied into the system folder or its subfolders they were not copied. And Rashr just installs zips when a custom recovery is installed
tried to copy the zip contents manually to the system folder and its subfolders with my "TotalCommander" file browser without success because writing access to that folder were denied
tried to copy the zip contents manually to the system folder and its subfolders with the root file browser of my "ROM Toolbox Pro". I was able to copy the files, but after restart it seems that the Memo Pad is stuck in a boot loop AFTER displaying the INTEL logo
Now I'm of the opinion, that I need to install a custom recovery. But how do I do that without unlocking the bootloader? There must be a way because I saw articles in the internet saying that they have flashed such a recovery but don't telling how.
Is there someone who can tell me how I do that?
As you know, you need to upgrade the modem and radio firmware from 6.0.1 Android version to make the latest LineageOS or other ROM to work.
You can't do this for this specific device, SM-G900X (Galaxy S5 Live Demo Unit), as the ODIN will fail to flash the files.
But you can modify the ROM to make it past boot-loop quite easy.
Here's what you need to do in order to make it work:
Install latest TWRP for TWRP for KLTE;
You can do this with both ODIN or direct upgrade using TWRP image inside TWRP;
Boot into the TWRP;
Load a ROM .zip on the device like crDroid;
You can upload to SDCard using USB while on TWRP;
Wipe everything (except Internal SD Card);
Install the ROM;
Check if it boot-loop;
Now you need to fix the ROM, which is quite easy:
Boot back into the TWRP recovery;
Go to: Mount -> System (check);
Go back;
Go to: Advanced -> File Manager;
Navigate to: /system/vendor/lib;
Delete or rename: libsec-ril.gsm.so, libsec-ril.usc.so, libsec-ril.vzw.so;
Reboot and enjoy .
what if those files are not present in vondor/lib folder and still is boot loop
G900X is on snapdragon or exynos?
