Just as the topic specifies, how far can I safely flash back, build wise? I have a t889 running 4.1.2 uvbmd1.
Long story short at some point about a couple months back their was a leak for an ota it was apparently posted in a wrong thread, supposed to be for the t889 and I later that day discovered it was a different model, same phone. I discovered this when I attended to use triangle away and the app attempted to verify my phone model and it came back with 7100 or something like that. I'm sorry I can't recall exactly. It was then I flashed the correct update. Anyhow here I am today with a couple things that leave me wondering what's going on with my phone.
Battery is apparently taking way to long to charge. Never used to take this long.
And the most important sign that's raised my index of suspicion is the fact that my airplane mode shortcut is no longer an option to be used or applied on my phone. It's still on my wife's phone (same phone) but no longer on mine. See picture....
So in attempt to undo and possibly fix what flashing recent build won't and didn't do I'm curious how far back I can flash without bricking it completely???
Thank you for any assistance.

Update
If you look you'll see no airplane mode switch when there should be. Plus now there's some mobile data switch... where did this come from? ....no it's not supposed to be there. My wife has the same model phone I do and she has the airplane mode switch and also no mobile data switch.
No ideas eh? I understand it's not a normal issue.

How far can you flash back? Any rom posted checks teshxx sticked post in Android dev.

Thanks, saw that but couldn't seem to find an answer regarding how far back I can go build wise until there is risk of bricking.
For example
Verizon and moto would constantly lock or change bootloaders so much in New builds that if you flashed back farther than you should have build wise it would completely brick the device.
Want sure if there was a risk of this with Samsung.

Have you tried Odining the current build?
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
I Odin'd this build and the previous and its still there. That's kinda why I thought going back farther might help. Just don't know if it's safe.

Did you wipe /data right before/after odining?
Actually I didn't do it before, but here's where it gets weird. I did a factory reset from recovery yesterday and I kept root, status was normal afterwords.here's the weird part. The mobile data switch was gone, no ware to be found and airplane mode switch returned.
So my happy self decided too use titanium to restore user apps only. When I opened titanium it said my android user id had changed likely due to the reset. It asked me if I wanted to restore the previous so I said yes. It rebooted than I restored user apps only, I checked the box that said exclude system apps. Everything went smoothly.
Sometime after this, it was than that I noticed the stupid mobile data switch was back, airplane mode switch was gone, and the long charging was back as well. Sigh..... so here I am as frustrated as ever....

Have you tried going to Settings, display, notification panel and just changing you toggles to get your airplane mode back?
See here

Yup,
It's not in the options. Check out the above picture of my notification panel options. You don't have the mobile data switch either? Check out your picture and then mine.
It's quite strange.
Almost forgot, I tried the mobile data switch and it does not put the phone into airplane mode. It brings more to the mobile network options when I long pres it.

Thanks for the info, I wonder if it might be prudent for me to flash a number of builds back and see if that would restore it. It's nice to know it can be done without risk of completely bricking.

This information is not new or unique.. but I have not seen it mentioned in our sub-forums.
For the few WiMax faithfuls.. this allows you to toggle WiMax 4G on/off even in Airplane Mode.. just how WiFi is treated. I believe HTC devices may do this by default.. but Samsung chooses to disable WiMax when Airplane Mode is enabled. It makes sense.. it saves battery.. and if you're on an airplane you certainly won't be using WiMax BUT for those (few?) times when you just need internet but want to spare your battery by disabling the CDMA radio.. this is how.
How-To:
edit the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db file on your phone. One method would be to use Root Explorer to navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db and then open it with the SQLite Editor app from Market(Play?). In settings.db you can navigate to system > airplane_mode_radios and edit the "value" field. Remove whatever radio you do not want disabled by Airplane Mode. Example: By default your value field may say "cell,wimax,bluetooth"... by deleting wimax it will no longer shut off during Airplane Mode. I personally only have "cell" set to turn off. I'd rather manually enable/disable the other radios.

}
So again... why even do this? well if you're in an area with wimax and no wifi but don't plan on making a bunch of calls.. why not disable CDMA? Yes, SMS will also stop.. BUT if you use Google Voice(which you should) all SMS goes over data anyway. And set up a SIP account or use the Groove IP app in Market to make/receive free calls over data as well.
This is not for everyone!! There will only be a small group of people that could probably make use of this. This is for those people
Easy Mode(aren't you glad you kept reading?):
Get the Airplane Mode Modifier App from Market which makes the settings.db file edit for you by simply checking/unchecking some boxes.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wparam.airsettings
Notes:
While using 4G during Airplane Mode.. the 4G icon may NOT show up.. but the signal bar displayed is your WiMax signal.. NOT CDMA! You can see this by going to Settings > About Phone > Status and seeing the service state.. off. Since you now may be using your device differently, you may want to change the WiMax timeout and signal settings. See my sig for wimax links for editing that stuff. And here's a CM9 tip.. since you can't do ##DATA# > View > WiMAX > MSL(it crashes) you can use Any Cut app from Market to make a shortcut to WIMAX_CFG to get to those advanced "Extensions" settings.
TIP!
RyleyinSTL has reminded us that GPS can be used in airplane mode by using the QPST Service Programming tool. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442666
Hope this helps someone else besides me
with the above settings and the wimax link in my sig.. you could technically have ONLY a clearwire account.. disable the CDMA radio.. setup google voice/groove ip.. and have a cell phone with no monthly bill.. other than what you are already paying cleawire
toggle between wimax/wifi for all call/sms. good times.
Definitely an interesting find.
Thank you!

I'm assuming there's still no fix for having wimax to stay on all the time rather than sleeping whenever the screen turns off?

the best you can do is go to the wimax extensions settings and set idletimeout to 300. it will still sleep.. but obv less...
even when the screen is off.. the phone does seem to wake up every now n then.. at least mine does on cm9.. could even be a wakelock bug for all i know(although battery performance has been good!). last night i set my phone to wimax only and woke up with all my latest emails and messages. i've certainly noticed wimax off after the screens been off for a bit though. i've seen the grooveip icon turn from red to green as i turn the screen back on. so i will say... this is not a perfect system.
if i find some extra tweaks.. ill keep everyone posted. there may be a way to manually enter a higher idletimeout number.. but the firmware may not even recognize the higher value etc etc.. we shall see. i will say tho.. wimax on 100% of the time = dead battery pretty quickly, unfortunately, but i will still try to find a way around it.
You're the best

Today Google Wallet became officially available for my Yakju Galaxy Nexus on Play Store and I installed and activated it on the device. It worked fine. I then decided to flash the Takju ROM, also available from today. GW is included in this ROM. Upon starting Google Wallet the application got stuck on "Initializing your device". While researching the problem I learned about the NFC Secure Element problem. I was almost ready to return my phone when an idea came to mind. I recalled reading some place how a chip/part of NFC is indeed in the phone battery. I currently use an OEM extended battery. I replaced it with the original battery, which was not affected by the application. To my surprise and amazement Google Wallet started with no problems. At this moment from the within the GW application I did a reset. Changed batteries again and this time GW started again with no issues and with the extended battery that was initially in the phone.
In brief, to fix the problem follow these steps:
1.You need to find a second battery, your own or borrowed from a fried. This new battery, if already used with GW, needs to first be reset from within GW.
2. Place the battery in your phone, activate GW, confirm everything works.
3. Reset GW from within the application. Take out the second battery.
4. Place your first battery back in the phone and start GW. Enjoy GW!
5. The second battery is good for new activation of GW too, since you reset it already in step 2. Thank your friend for the battery.
If I saved your phone, I'll appreciate a small donation to buy a beer. Cheers!
Any1 try this?
I believe you are correct. I had a secure element error when I upgraded from liquid 1.25 to 1.3, but it was fixed when I flashed a fix for deep sleep and Google Wallet that I found on the liquid thread. However, when I was doing some research, I came across a similar statement.

I'm having the same issue. Tried a friends battery and no go still get stuck on the initializing the device. And when I go to settings and click more it freezes settings and force closes. Flashed back to stock and went into settings and clicked on more and went in fine. Started Google wallet and stuck again. Went into settings/more and bam. Froze again.

Do you have a nandroid of when it did work? I had this problem, but when I flashed my backup everything worked fine.
The Battery Does Not Matter...
The battery only has the antenna. It does not contain the actual NFC chip or secure element which are in the phone.

Anyone else having this issue? I live in an area with good coverage not sure if its the phones radio or not. This isn't an issue with just data either, the entire signal triangle on the nav bar goes blank. This only happens for a few seconds (5-15) at s time, but sometimes happens more often than I'd like.
Was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

I'm on cm10 euroskank with their kernal, but had had the issue on every rom I've been on, a bit less on this one though. I wasn't really stock for long enough to see if it was an issue, nor did I update any ota's. Was there an ota that fixed radios?
By the way it doesn't seem to be a signal thing, but something with the radio or sim card because it drops from full strength to nothing at all.

I am having a big problem with this (on CM10). Even if the signal meter is full and blue, it's like data isn't flowing when the phone screen is off. I will miss a bunch of notifications until I wake the phone up. Then they come rushing in. I hope this is fixed really soon.
Heres what mine looks like with the blank triangle on cm10. On stock or touchwiz it will be a circle with a line through it like a censor sign. Anyone getting that? Or do i have a bad phone?

This isn't a data drop though, it's the entire mobile network meaning I can't send texts, call, or anything. Has this happened to you?
Not sure if mine is related but I used to get the same thing (network dropping) accompanied by a soft reboot of Touchwiz. This happened on a stock rooted ROM with stock kernel.
Since I've switched to KT747 for Sammy kernel I think the issue has gone away or I just haven't seen it yet. I flashed to KT747 approx 5 days ago.

I have been having the same problems to, no solution yet. I was on stock for a while before I rooted it. I had full 4g before I rooted the phone, then right after I rooted I started having problems the same as described here.

I decided to flash back to stock before bringing it in to at&t and it has been happening less often. Did any of the OTA's effect signal or radio? I rooted basically right after I got it and flashed the ota killer, so i'm not sure if that had anything to do with it.
I'll keep you updated though.

I may have figured out the problem, or at least a problem. After I rooted the phone it seems to have erased my IMEI#. The IMEI# now has all zeros. I found the thread on hear on how to fix the IMEI which I’ll do later tonight and see if that fixes my problems.

So, I was super excited when I saw the new paranoid android update. I immediately download it, wipe dalvik cache and cache. Flash it, then did the same with the google apps. But afterwards, I wasn't getting data. I thought it was normal at first. Others said it took a little while for them to get data connection back. So I waited. That was at 4 am. Its now 4:30 pm. And I still have no data. I've tried reflashing both the rom and the Google apps but it has not worked. But while doing that, I accidently rushed and end up wiping my data. Had to restore some of it all the way back to June 16. Because like an idiot, I didn't back it up. But even after that, no data. Its just grey bars. I can make calls and stuff. But no internet connection whatsoever. No H at the top. Doesn't tell me I have 3g nor 4g. And when it did, It was still grey with no connection. I searched the forums, but I couldn't find an answer or someone with the same exact problem. And even when I connect to wifi, I still cannot access the play store. If I try to install something, it gives me an error. ("Easy tether Lite" could not be downloaded due to an error (error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]) ).

Can you post in development section? If so I'd ask what else to try in the ROM thread. That's the only trick I know of on the 4.3 ROMs other than toggling mobile data and airplane mode. By the way what mobile network settings are you on?

If I try to install something, it gives me an error. ("Easy tether Lite" could not be downloaded due to an error (error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]) ).
Anyone got a fix for this?
I also tried to go back to PA 4.2.2 with the 4.2.2 apps and a 4.2.2 kernel. But it stayed at the booting animation forever.

Yes I am. Also, thank you all for the help and the future help. I fixed the problem in the play store. But I still don't get data.
Has anyone been able to get a fix?
This applies to T-Mobile but I assume Sprint also uses a custom APN? If so, make sure you've got the right settings if any.

Can you explain that for me? I don't know a whole lot about APNs and stuff.
Here is everything I tried.
Resetting my RTN and updating my profile and PRL.
Rebooting (Obviously lol)
Toggling the network modes. I am currently on "LTE". I also do not know what Evod and wcdma are.
Clearing google play services framework cache and data.
Removing my google account and putting it back on my phone.
Reinstalling the ROM
Reinstalling the kernel.
Installing a different kernel.
Trying to go back to 4.2.2 but failed. It just stayed at the booting animation for 30 minutes.
Going into airplane mode and out of it.
Here is what it's doing after all that.
I can't make calls, send messages, nor can I go on the internet. Basically no service, but it has 2 blue bars of cellular network.
It doesn't even show a H, 3g or 4g icon up there. And when it did, it was all grey bars and when they were blue, I still couldn't go on the web.
But now they just have 2 bars, no data icon.
It's been 2 days now, and I am in urgent need of fast help. I am willing to give my delicious cookie recipe to anyone who can provide me with that. (Dead serious).

Use that network mode.
Toggle airplane mode when data stops working. Only thing I can do to get data working for me personally.
Also, try to avoid that sprint diagnostics trick about resetting things. You're really more likely to cause additional problems then fix anything.
Hope it works... I ******* love cookies
Edit: and please people, stop advising to reset things in sprint diagnostics app, it doesn't fix anything...

It brought back the icon for the 4g signal but it still doesn't work.
Do you know what's causing this?

Are you able to make calls/texts now?
Give it a reboot, then try navigating to google.com in browser to see if data works.
If not, toggle airplane mode again
Do you have strong 4g coverage in your area?

Still no data, and when I try to make a call. It says my account couldn't be validated.
But I believe my services are on.

Now your problem is the provisioning... Thanks to that reset in sprint diagnostics app...
You may be able to provision via WiFi and if not you'll need to make a call to sprint.
If you do need to call sprint to re-provision, just play dumb. "Can't make calls or use mobile data, haaalp me pleeeez", they don't need to know any more info.

I googled provision via wifi. But I couldn't find anything helpful.
How do I go about doing this?
Hello everyone,
Since 2 days now, my 4G/LTE/EDGE symbols have been constantly appearing and dissapearing. I am in the NF1 firmware and rooted. It was working great but now it is like goin on/off like every 5 seconds. I think my data got blocked by T-Mobile but I'm really not sure.
You can see the video I recorded about the issue here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Vy0A4LQD_E
Anyone had this happened to them before?

That's not normal, Never ran nf1 myself went straight to nf4. NF4 is basically a fix for issues that occurred with NF1, maybe update

It was working fine for one week, but I think they blocked my access to it. I'm trying to communicate and check what is the problem.
Phone calls and messages works great however, is only the data that is not working.

You think you went over your allotted data limit? If that was so then the symbol would switch to 4G instead of 4Glte, Maybe you are right that you've passed your limit and maybe you should check settings/more networks/mobile networks and ensure that network mode is set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM and check that mobile data is enabled.........and my last guess could be that maybe your sim is loose or failing?

I think it is a bug in the system. I used 2056.47GB according to the My T-Mobile website (tethering non stop), but on the use tab it tells me I used 2048GB of Unlimited. Maybe that stopped my data. I guess on the 17th it will reset and I'll have internet again since calls and messages works correctly. Also, there's no alert on my account and neither a message sent, so my guess is their system just limit the data to 2048GB somehow.
2 terabyte wow. I use net10 on att towers and have massive data connection issues as of the past 2 days and i just put a new monthly on it.
note 3 4.4.2 stock rooted N900T

I called them and they said the data was not blocked and that it was not possible to block because it is unlimited, which I think is clearly a system bug or a hard or soft limit of 2048GB
I find it really hard to believe that you managed to use 2TB of data, even if you're tethering. I'm not saying you're lieing, but I think there's something wrong on the backend here that's not reporting appropriately.
There's obviously some kind of issue occuring when you authenticate on the T-Mobile network. My suggestion is either ODIN the phone back to stock and try again, or go into a Store and see if they can tell you anything about your account that's throwing flags at them.
I hope they did block you.

Yeah I think they did that throttling thing because of me
Well, I'm hoping the 17th I get the internet again, of course more carefully. I was just looking at the "how much unlimited data means" limit and I seem to have found it.
If not, the reps said it could be the SIM Card and I have to go to the store then.

How can you even call TMO with a straight face? 2 TB is abusing it, dude.
Can you try a few things?
1) Turn the phone off then back on see how long you have data for.
2) Force the data band of the phone and see how long data works for.
3) Put your SIM into a different device and see how long you have data for.
And of course if you can try all these things on a few different towers just to be sure.
Also can you try cooking an egg on your phone? That thing must be running pretty HOT.

All of that was what the reps said me to do, but data doesn't work.
Here is the bug I suspect, which makes me believe data is turned off at 2048GB:
In this image, the data reported 2048GB, but it let me use a little more. It just stayed at 2048GB

Here you can see that it is reporting what I really used before data was turned off:
I know I may have abused but still they didn't really said nothing about it, and they said blocking can't be done on the phone call. They said to visit the store for a phone/SIM checkup.
You can try to reset your NV values and modem. Below is a link to the thread with instructions.

I have just confirmed myself that this is indeed a system limitation by T-Mobile. Today my cycle reset and I got my data back.
So, in conclusion, T-Mobile unlimited plan indeed have the 2048GB limit.
I hope people aren't complaining about a 2 terabytes limit. I felt like I was abusing when going through 10 gigs a month.

OMG...2TB of mobile data, that's insane!! Even I have The 105Mbps Comcast plan and I can only manage to use 170GB a month(streaming Netflix and downloading torrents everyday)
