[Q] 4.4.4 NH7 No sound?

Hello everyone!
Recently I've decided to flash over to the new NH7 Update because I wanted to try out the 4.4.4 Modem. After flashing both the ROM and Modem, I no longer have any sound. I'm a "bit" new to some of this so I'm hoping I could get some help. I've flashed plenty of other ROMS and Modems before without an issue (At least issues I could fix) but I can't seem to find any information on how one would fix this problem. I'm assuming the problem is the 4.4.4 Modem?
I'm also having the lockscreen freeze up on me when I try to unlock the phone. If I let the phone set for a while it settles down but it's still really buggy. Seems to do this with any ROM I flash and random things FC on me.
Lastly, Not sure if this helps with the problem but every time I boot into recovery and go to start the phone, it tells me that I lost root and gives me the option to fix. If I choose not to fix, I still have root. No idea why it prompts me about this?
Anyway, here's some info on what I did.
Flashed this ROM and used the modem provided in the thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-4-4-4-nh7-insane-kit-kat-v1-9-14-14-t2876946
1 Wiped Cache, Dalvik, Data, Factory reset with TWRP
2 Flashed ROM with TWRP
3 Put phone in download mode and flashed the NON-HLOS.bin
4 Restarted then booted download and flashed Modem.bin
5 Restarted normally and setup phone like normal.
6 No sound :/
Used the latest version of TWRP I could find. (2.8.1 I believe?)

Try the double flash method (start from phone off, flash without auto reboot, pull battery, boot back to ODIN, flash again, pull battery, boot normally). Some bits may not have updated. This will fix it.
The thing about losing root is I believe a known TWRP bug in that version.
Marc

Hi Marc
I've tried the method you describe with no luck
Oh, I suppose it's worth mentioning that I'm using ODIN version 3.0.7
Thanks,
Jeff

For Sickness' 4.4.4 ROM you have to be on the NH7 bootloader for it to fully work with no issues
And also, try TWRP 2.7.0.0. I use TWRP 2.6.3.1 and never have had an issue

Hey Kriptik210
For the bootloader I'm not exactly sure where to find it. (I have a link to what I think is a bootloader but I'm not allowed to post it until 10 posts)
If you look at my screenshot. It says Baseband Version m919uvufnh7. Isnt this the bootloader?
Sorry if I sound silly. I've never really had to update stuff like this before. It's really new to me.
Thanks,
Jeff

Baseband is the modem, build number is the bootloader. I don't see a screenshot anywhere

Ok, thank you for clarifying.
I'm going to download the 4.4.4 OTA and flash it VIA ODIN, then re-root. I've read towelroot v2 can root 4.4.4 without tripping knox.

You can't do OTA if you don't have the stock firmware already on your phone. But you can Odin.
You can use this link if you need anything...
http://www.droidviews.com/update-t-mobile-galaxy-s4-to-android-4-4-4-kitkat-and-root-it/

I got it. Sound is working now. I was apparently on the MDL bootloader. I used this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/help/nb4-to-nh7-firmware-upgrade-via-odin-t2880284 to get updated and re-rooted. Thanks for the help. I never would have known about the bootloader if it had not of been for this thread. I think I can handle the rest from here
Cheers!

If you are unsure of your bootloader, there is a Phone Info Samsung app in the play store. IT will show you your boot loader version, modem baseband, etc..

Build number is the software version. It's defined in the build prop. Has nothing to do with the bootloader. Can make it say whatever you want. Unless That is Samsung is stealing mine and sickness' rom names and making bootloaders called HispAsian rom and Insane 4.4.4 haha in which I better be receiving a check
To find your bootloader version, download android terminal emulator from the playstore and type
getprop ro.bootloader
And hit enter.

rooted for first time and removed com.lge.sui.widget now settings not working, help

Hey im new here!
I've had my G3 a while and today i decided to root it and try to install cyanogenmod. So the root went fine i rooted with Kingroot (blue white crown logo) it went fine and it said phone is rooted. but i got stuck a little bit after that when trying to unlock bootloader and kind of advanced stuff like that I downloaded the app ''System app remover (ROOT)'' just to try out some awesome root stuff.
I removed a couple of pre installed programs and files (com.lge.sui.widget was problably then only was that was bad to remove) and now i cant access settings ( little window appearing saying ''Unfortunately settings has stopped working" and my widgets does not work at all. I tried to unroot the phone again with SuperSU but it just says it needs update (which is not working). And root checker says my phone is till rooted, so.
I saw this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/removed-com-lge-sui-widget-bricked-t3145799 and i wonder is this working (flash kdz)? And then i saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVLd-HlqveE and it seems quite easy so will this help?
There is another problem i tried to factory reset phone (hard reset when power on it) and i just does not work, when i press yes on everything i shows lg logo BUT with terminal up at the left corner and it says something with error Boot cerification only error and then screen just turns black, and light start blinking red and blue ( it stop when i press volume+ tho?).
After this i can't boot until unplug and plug battery in again then i can boot normally.
So do you guys think this will work? :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVLd-HlqveE or some of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/removed-com-lge-sui-widget-bricked-t3145799?
And lg has no official firmware to get it fully factory STOCK or repair software or anything like that?
I guess i should not have tried rooting and stuff att all, it all seems so difficult
I've got an d-855
Thanks

Looks like you were on lollipop and tried to install twrp via twrp manager or flashify?
What state is your phone now? If you can´t boot to android (you should be able to boot..) try holding volume up and connect to pc, see if it loads download mode(software upgrade mode)

So i should download this KDZ file then: http://storagecow.eu/Xda/LG G3/Stock/D855/Europe D85530B_00_1217.kdz? My android version i lollipop i believe but im not entirely sure. I downloaded app ''My android'' and it said lollipop 5.0 so i guess it is. Then i just use the software and follow instructions/the yt video? Thanks.

This one is Marshmallow. If you tend to have a rooted device without custom recovery(twrp) then I would stick with lollipop version 20(20a, b,..., up to 21a)
But marshmallow should provide smoother transitions and overall system performance and features. You can revert at any time.

Root Blackview A5 Marshmallow

Hi guys,
recently bought this A5 at reasonable price( 50$). It goes fast as any other 4-core brand named device i have seen. But it came with much bloatware such as a search service that somehow i cant stop. I must disable it once a day and then again tsoup! it is on again...Anyway that's why my first thought was rooting the device.
Sometime ago i rooted and old samsung with just a click. But this blackview seems to be solving the circle square. No support, google says little only some russians i can not understand.
So, to end this story i need help to root this device. Flash a modded preinstalled rooted version maybe?
Thanks in advance...
Edit: Managed to root it finally. just flash supersu via twrp(3.03 custom recovery image from needrom site)...8 hours piece of cake ^-^. Thank god for the last beta version 2.79 SR3 201xxx of supersu. All the other version had me to bootloop.

Hi there, please tell me how you did it. Some links to the correct files would be great.
Kind regards, Skyfire

Sorry for the delay, just go to needrom.com under blackview section u will find many costum twrp. I used the 3.03 version. U will also need sp_flashtools, adb drivers and a mt6580 scatter file to flash the twrp from your pc. Let me know if u need any help.

I flashed the recovery.img with sp flash but when I enter recovery mode, twrp doesn't show up...
Instead, the stock recovery mode boots up.
sp flash says that the flash was successfull but it doesn't work out for me...
btw I only flashed the recovery.img. I didn't flash any boot.img or anything else.
any ideas what went wrong?

That's hell of a problem...did u select the scatter file in sp tools? maybe your firmware is different version? if i remember correct there are 3 versions of blackview A5. I have the A5_C1_Blackview_SD_Q20160709. If different then u must find a twrp for your version..Sorry mate

There is a thread over at 4pda with different versions of twrp but the links are all down. Maybe if you find somebody that speaks russian ore use google translate you can get it there.

Today my new A5 arrived and of course I wanted to root it.
But I have a new Build number = A5_C1-Blackview_SD_Q20161010
Also the drivers are not working.
Does anybody ca help me out ?
thx in advance

My build = A5_C1_Blackview_VO.X_20160420
Would this be a good idea...? Or a bad idea...?
If I go into: Settings -> About phone -> Wireless update
There are no OTA updates available... But there is an option to install "Local updates". I can select the "SuperSU" zip but I get warnings about bricking the phone:

So, would this produce desired results? Or brick the phone?
While I'm here, what about installing custom ROMs, eg one of the 6.0.1 ROMs from needrom.com?

helo, i want to root my blackview 5, i already downloaded all files that should be used to preparing the root. but the problem here is all this files and procedures are odd for me. can you screen shoot how to root start at the beginning? tq

One plus 5t root issue on new phone that son has buggered up!

Hello, my 17 year old got the new one plus 5t yesterday,
He rooted the phone but then realised he couldn’t use certain apps with it rooted, so he uninstalled magisk
He rebooted the phone but it only went into custom recovery and wouldn’t load an OS
Because that didn’t work, he tried flashing an OTA update.
Now his phone is stuck on an upside down screen and a fuzzy section on it.
I know ZERO about android phones.
Should I wait for the support to open at one plus? Or is there something I can do to fix this?

tell him to download this (full firmware)
https://otafsg.h2os.com/patch/amazo...xygen_43_OTA_011_all_1804241056_afd261322.zip
Boot to recovery, copy zip to internal storage, swipe to wipe and flash the zip.
p/s if it cannot boot to custom rec then use this guide

Thanks so much for your reply,
In the end I spoke to one plus and they couldn’t fix it, they said I could exchange it free of charge, so he got a brand new phone yesterday! Thank god. I’m never letting him root it again tho, he only had it 24hours!!!

You should let him experiment again, this time with some more reading here on the forum before though. He can learn a great deal about how different systems are built and the working parts of them.
And mostly since it's really fun, these days its really hard, close to impossible to mess up the phone bad.

Yes - He should be allowed to root it again - He needs practice

I'm also in that opinion. He should be allowed to root again.
I may have an idea why this happened: Instead of an Oneplus 5T Firmware, he may have flashed a Oneplus 5 Firmware..
you mentioned an upside down turned Screen... well, the normal oneplus 5 had their Display assembled upside down and oneplus thought it would Fixing it by turn the Display Output by 180° by Software configuration. Your son should be Aware of that Oneplus 5 and 5T are different devices.

First step is using fastboot adb tool to flash some custom recovery first such as twrp,then download the latest oxygen system from oneplus official website(should be about 1.6gb) flash it inside and reboot. U will get a official system with official recovery set everything up. Then flash the custom recovery again and flash custom kernals such as bluespark or franco. goto the google pay or other root blocked app to set up everything.
Now you can flash the magisk to get root and activate magisk hide immediately right after u reboot. Remenber to tick the apps you need to hide the root for.
Wish u success:good:

Can't install any custom rom on A505W Canadian Variant. Unable to mount /vendor error.

Hello everyone. I currently have a A505W Canadian variant, bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed. I made the big mistake of updating to the last version of android 11 and, while I prefer android 10 for what I need the phone to do, I can't downgrade anymore. I'm trying to install, at that point, any custom rom there is. But I can't. I don't know if it's related, but every time I try to install a rom, with TWRP, I always get the error "Unable to mount '/vendor'" and the installation fail. Some rom get concidered successfully installed, by their custom installations process, but end in a boot loop. All I can do is install the stock firmware with odin. I've been on this for 3 days now, can anybody help me? That would be much appreciated. Have a nice day!

So far, only international variants(F and FN) are being built so we don't know if any rom will work on W variants. Maybe try GSI, they are almost the same but they mostly differ in vendor

yes, you should definitely check GSI and sGSI out. Some of the a50 users manage to boot android 13 dp1 on A50. for GSIs https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/treble-enabled-device-development-a-ab-roms.7260/

I'm on it. I think I found one GSI rom that is working pretty well for now. I need this phone to do a very specific job. I prefers magisk 23 for this since I need magisk hide. So I tend to go with older version of android (10 or 11). Also, the lastest stock firmware was not really up to the task either (got many bugs) and I made the mistake to update my android 10 stock, which was working perfectly, to the last official version of 11, so no downgrade possible for me. I just need to find the right rom for my needs now.

Search XDA for the latest Frija Windows application version. Beyond that, sammobile.com is where I've pulled my provider's stock images for an upcoming downgrade attempt. You should be able find your provider's CSC easily enough elsewhere; you'll need it to pull the proper ROM.

@AliasGprime how did you unlock the bootloader on your A505W? I'm researching this and see only paid options to unlock BL and no one can reach the member who used to unlock.
EDIT: after several attempts, I did finally get the bootloader unlock menu.

Hi,
Just wanted to put this info out there for unlocking bootloader. ( This would wipe your data )
Model A505W
Steps:
Enable OEM Unlock
Power Off
Hold vol-up and vol-down and power button ( As per other tutorials and videos you have to attach charging cable but that did not work for me )
Follow instructions on screen
reboot ( It takes long to reboot as all data is going to be wiped )
