HI im having some very big problems with my tilt2. I can teather it fine but for some reason after a day or two i get the remote party has ended the connection, and no matter what i do to it, weather it be uninstall the script and speed patch and reinstall it, it wont help. so i have to format the phone and load it all over again and it works fine for about 2 days tops. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening? I seem to be formatting this phone every 2 days just to get it to teather.
i had the same thing happen to my kaiser with the stock att rom what i did was flash the rom and radio. after that problem was gone never happened again. you can also try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538874
i don't know if this is of any help to you. After you get the error message can you still connect with active sync?
nope
after the errormessage i cant connect on the internet at all, i have to formatt the phone and reload everything to get it to work again
Rom and radio
What rom and radio do you reccomend for the tilt2 thats stable
i remember getting that error on my blackjack, it was mostly because i let it idle and data disconnects when not in use. its not like its a stable connection. if you wanted that you buy the crappy little usb card.

the rom i'm using right now is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=617142
and Radio 4.49.25.91 i found the link on the same page.
if you're new to flashing i suggest you go here first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540 it helped me out alot
Possible solution
The above mentioned "idle" problem is more than likely your culprit. I had a similar problem as well with the stock ROM. I suggest using NRG's Leo ROM to fix this problem. There are other solutions, but they are pretty tech savvy ones. Plus, if you haven't flashed your ROM yet, dude, you don't know what you're missing. The whole reason we're here is to push our phone's to the limit as far as functionality is concerned. Stock ROM's don't even cut it. Give a new one a whirl, I promise you won't be disappointed, plus, your reformatting issue will be gone as well, just a heads up from someone who's been around, you know?
Stuck
OK i try to update rom and im stuck on 0% of the hard spl prog and wont do nothing then errors out

For the Tilt2 you'll want to use the enablerapinew.cab file in the Hard SPL thread.
Having upgraded to 4.2.x now for about a month I have nothing but fustrations about the upgrade. I've had probably 5-6 random reboots where as on 4.1.x I had none. The phone has had problems connecting to data where the only remedy was to reboot. I've also had problems connecting with GPS AND bluetooth where only a reboot would fix things. The OS studders much more than before and (it could be my imagination) it seems some apps run slower than before. With that said if I have to reboot one more time this week I will be downgrading.
BTW I'm stock with bootloader unlocked on yakju.
Like everyone else you should try a fresh install of the factory image wiping everything without restoring any data. It shouldn't matter if you are going to downgrade anyway.
We are many who have had no issues at all, so give it a shot.
Lots of threads already on these issues.
Just downgrade now and save us having to listen to more whining...
If you updated from 4.1 to 4.2 without a full wipe there's potential for a lot to go wrong. There could be some app running as a service that isn't fully compatible with 4.2 causing your issues.
With that being said, I would try fully resetting the device, no need to re-flash the stock image because it's already in place on the device anyway.
Install apps that are known to work on 4.2 ONLY. Then, you can begin testing to see if it becomes stable. After that, do what you want.

And it's not like you can make it through a page in either General or Q&A without tripping over a 4.2 whine thread.

if you're on the VZW Galaxy Nexus, then i strongly recommend getting the mmuzzy rom. i think it's made specifically for that carrier/model only. it's been great for me so far. so smooth, no issues thus far!
i don't know how much experience you have with swapping roms, but you should use the Super Wipe utility that mmuzzy recommends.

Hi.
I only have problems in bluetooth in 4.2.1... Sometimes I turned it off and I cannot turn it on again Also... sometimes when the phone goes into sleep mode it disconnect the connection with handset... It never happen in 4.1.
I downloaded the factory image of 4.2.1 from Google and flash it... still the same. I saw people saying a clean install... Should I do another kind of install other than I did?
Can someone please tell me if got this kind of bluetooth problem and have solved it? How?
Thanks

i have also encountered that behaviour, gets greyed out while "Turning off".
Hi, apparently some genius developing CWM decided it would be fun to allow the factory partition to be formatted with the newest versions of CWM (I'm on 6.0.4.6). Well guess what, I managed to format it on my GNex (it's quite easy to do actually).
Anyways, I've lost my IMEI data and unable to access mobile network (data connectivity is fine, however, surprisingly). Somebody please help me restore my IMEI because I don't have a nandroid backup either.
Thanks a lot!
Deleted, did a search on IMEI and found a bunch of threads. Reading them now...

Paul how did you manage to mess up your phone? Was it the same way I did? The thing is, all is not lost, I'm absolutely certain of that. It's not a brick until it absolutely and completely refuses to power up...
@osm0sis, can you please help me out here? I know there was even an IMEI changing tool but most probably considered illegal or something by the "powers that be" and hence removed most likely. I just need my original phone IMEI back, that's all. Thanks a lot!

I think I screwed up and flashed my phone with the wrong image (LTE instead of CDMA) that wiped the factory info and all the attempts I have tried do not do anything to get the phone back. I have a nice tablet that just upgraded to 4.3 via WiFi since it isn't on the Verizon network.

i have gone through your cwm thread. it's suggested taking it to a shop and getting it fixed with spt box or something. unfortunately, i can't do that because nobody in my location has anything even remotely similar to one of those. apart from that, i've done everything i could think of, flashed radios, flashed stock samsung rom, flashed google factory images. what else would you suggest?
i don't have a prior nandroid either
Resolved
Problem solved. Took it to repair shop and got it fixed. Everyone that helped or tried to help, thanks a lot! Mods please close thread, thanks!
I was thinking more along the lines of restoring a backup and grabbing what you need to fix Factory from Radio, which was detailed a couple of times.
Glad you got it fixed, nonetheless. :good:

i didn't have a nandroid, nothing in factory since i had wiped it accidentally via the new cwm's new ""feature". i didn't like twrp until now but i ain't budging from it now that cwm has screwed me up so bad!

the guy connected it to a couple of external devices which in turn were connected to his pc, i guess one of them was something along the lines of an spt box, the other thing looked like a miniature spaceship, so maybe ET was involved in fixing it as well...
Not CWM's fault, though I definitely understand your sentiment. But "with great power.."
I make damn sure I know what I'm pressing Yes on when I'm wiping.

anyways, I was just browsing through my phone with root explorer and with twrp's file manager and surprisingly there's no efs folder there! is that normal?
i've taken a twrp nandroid backup to include efs as well but i'm thinking to take a raw backup as well as described here. i've also copied the /factory and /data/radio folders.
i was wondering whether flashing a stock samsung ROM might result in the creation of the efs folder? on yakju 4.2.2 stock google image right now...
Nah efs is the partition but it's mounted to /factory :good:

That's great thanks!., I'll clean flash 4.3 yakju in a day or two and see if the IMEI sticks after the wipes. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to backup using EFS Commander or the terminal/shell commands (got error both ways) so I'm hoping the TWRP backup (without MD5) and manual file copy should be sufficient insurance...
Hello XDA, this is my first post, this comunity is awesome and helped me a lot for a couple of years now.
there always seems to be a solution to everything!
but now i realy ****ed up. i accidentaly checked the wrong thing on the so called "smart phone flash tool"
i klicked firmware upgrade instead of download only.
is there any way so rescue my phone? thank you very much in advance! :crying:
here is a screenshot: (i cant paste link because i am new):crying:
I'd better let someone more qualified answer your query but I'm pretty sure your situation can be recovered easily. What happens if you try to reflash the firmware again with the correct settings? These phones are pretty hard to brick!

there probably is SOME way to fix it, i am sure, but the phone does not even boot into recovery.
Mediatek phones are hard to brick, haha
It is PROBABLY going to give a headache in order to find the needed files, flash the stuff again and etc using the proper way, but PROBABLY your phone will relive again. Try rooting and installing Eragon after a full wipe, if that option is available.

Hi everyone,
I have an issue with my wife's OP3 that is driving me nuts.
Her phone runs stock OS without any changes but with an unlocked bootloader (just to be on the safe side i like to have an unlocked bootloader on all our devices).
I'm not sure if its related but I'm including it anyways she was playing a game on her phone and then she received a call and she answered it and tried to switch the call to speakerphone and the phone started rebooting right after booting the OS after 2-5 sec i would say "factory data reset" (see attached screenshot) and would reboot to the recovery.
then i would boot the phone again and the issue repeats itself.
so i used fastboot boot twrp.img to boot a recovery image and run a nadroid backup to a USB OTG just in case the phone is really hosed or whatnot.
I downloaded stock zip from oneplus's site and flashed it again from TWRP just to make sure its not some funky issue that happened to the os.
I even factory reset the phone from stock recovery and the issue would happen on the new phone setup wizard.
after a bunch of fiddling around I've flashed LineageOS 16 nightly and the phone boots normally and is fully usable but when i try to make or receive a call the phone app freezes and then crashes also sound doesn't seem to work when i try to play videos from youtube for example.
Any ideas what is the issue and how i can resolve it ?
thanks a bunch !!

Take a backup of your personal files and then wipe system, data, internal storage and both caches. Then flash OOS 5.0.8 and without adding any apps, check the calling function. If it still happens, then most likely a hardware issue.

No, She did not do anything out of the ordinary. But weirdly I have exactly the same things happening. Lineage works but no sound. Everything else factory resets. I have tried quite a few ROM'swithout any luck. So far the only ROM which worked for some time(1day) was 6.0.1 . I have spent quite a long time on this flashing various ROM and dont know what to do now.

Update: @ireaper4592 might have a point here. I have gone one level up and I tried msm v3.0 tool, thus doing a complete reinstall including firmware. The factory resetting stopped but the sound was not working (I thought that it could be the ROM and the security patches). So I updated to the latest ROM available from Oneplus and evrything has been working since. I did this last night so not sure how long this is going to stay like that. I will give it some time and update later. Wife is using it now!
what you will need to do is download the oneplus 3 recovery tool and put the phone into qualcolm mode and restore the phone that way. here is a link https://www.androidexplained.com/oneplus-3-unbrick-return-stock/

That tool/procedure will reset your phone. So you will lose everything on the phone. Take a backup beforehand.
