[Q] NFC is gone - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hi,
Wondering if I'm the only one with this issue...
I had my S2X rooted then flashed with the Koodo stock rom since it was a Koodo unit.
After the flash, I lost the NFC option. It's not even showing in the menu. It's completely gone.
I tried all the different " NFC enable" that are on the forum but no joy.
I tried to flash another ROM and I got the NFC back to life. Reflashed with Koodo stock.... Gone again
Does anyone knows how to fix it ??
Thanks

Maybe it's best to try another ROM friend. No need to run Koodo Stock ROM as many other ROMS are superior to any stock ROM.

[Q] Flashing KitKat kills EMEI

Hi,
I'm using BeanStalk 4.3 and tried to flash the new 4.4 version. But unfortunately this kills my EMEI. Tried with several other 4.4 roms
but with the same result. Doing a recovery with backup of 4.3 works fine and EMEI is back again and the phone works perfectly.
Phone is Note 2 LTE (Vodafon)
What is going wrong? After flashing the rom and a new start there's a message that I have to insert my SIM-card correctly.
Anybody else having the same problem? Any solution known?
Thanks
Eckhard
Hi,
no one with an idea?
I'm wondering that each time I flash a 4.4 rom I don't have to unlock my SIM-card as it's protected.
Already tried TWRP but same result. Still using BeanStalk 4.3:crying:

[Q] 4.3 Soft Brick Fix

Hey guys, i just made an account just to see if there's any solutions or fixes to this problem i have. I flashed MJC 4.3 on my phone and i noticed that the Wifi wouldn't turn on, at first too i didn't have any signal so i flashed the modems that the thread has provided. I searched everywhere for a solution but i can't find one that works, i tried flashing another rom while fully factory restoring everything but no luck at all. Can anyone help me?
In the same thread there is a ATT unlocked kernel. Flash it along with that Rom.

Custom roms and freezing help

hello my wife has a tmobile galaxy s4, as do i, but her wifi stopped working one day, i tried everything to fix it and nothing worked, so i rooted the phone and and flashed twpr, and tried some custom roms, but they all end up freezing on the lock screen or out of nowhere and ive tried various roms, all stable as they say on the post, but they freeze on me, im on the nh7 baseband and bootloader i used a phone info app to check. what could be causing this with every rom i tried? ive tried the pac-man rom, slimkat, google play edition, dan&ktoonz rom. ive rooted and used roms on my old galaxy s3 no problem.
Try flashing a stock rom, just for giggles & grins. See if that works before you go off the deep end.

Where can i get the stock roms
http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-stock-firmware/ Choose your stock Rom here
now are these flashable via twpr.
Tell me if they helped in anyway
Try working with this as the Web site mentioned before by Pablo has the not so latest firmware, and this is trustworthy from our own forum, just follow the instructions, read through the thread for answers in case you have any questions.

[Q] One problem or another

I am trying to find a fully functional rom. I have tried numerous roms and run into 2 or 3 of the same problems. What I need is working ? . Working Wifi. Working Camera. And working GPS. Most of the roms have given me a problem with the camera. For instance, I take a picture in a dark place and when the flash goes off I get a black screen and there is no display I am forced to pull battery as the phone will not reboot after. I have not had wifi or bluetooth problems in a long time so I can not comment on that. I recently tried Liquid Smooth's 4.4 rom and the camera works, however GPS will not work unless connected to WIFI which does me no good if it won't navigate. Has anyone found a rom out there that is fully functional? I do not have service on my device, which is d2spr by the way, so mobile data and 4g are not needed. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
If you want fully functional with no additional stuff except what you want, just use stock odex, latest firmware is NJ2, If stock untouched is giving you problems then you may have a messed up internal memory or something.
Wicked S5
Phone is Completely Screwed
So i flashed a MK5 Modem on my L710t due to the fact that my wifi and data were not working ... I though it would fix this ... before that on some roms, the wifi would work, but the data didn't ... and vice versa with other roms ... Carbon and LiquidSmooth to be specific. I can't seem to fix it .. so i tried Unrooting back to all stock everything ... and no matter what tar file i use i get a FAIL in Odin ... i tried three tar files and even tried the 1-click.exe. got an EPIC FAIL ... i tried flashing a stock MK5 deodexed rom because i had flashed a MK5 modem and the damned rom wouldn't boot ... I really just want to revert to a stock Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III with 4.4.2 and an N8 Modem or whatever modem it came out of the box with ... CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME ...
please and thanks
Thanks. It was a pain in the butt to get it installed as I had to update to ND8 but I think this is is quite functional and what I was hoping for will see in a few days how the system reacts but so far the camera works and i am bout to test gps. So thank you for recommending the Wicked S5.

Upgrade broke the GPS

Hi all, I have a note 2 shg-i317 that was originally on Bell in Canada. It was unlocked and the aws mod done to it, I use freedom mobile, aka T-mobile in the states.
I was running a Rom for the past 3 years Slimfast 4.4 and liked it. I had tried Nugat on another phone, thought I would try the [ROM][7.1.2][OFFICIAL] LineageOS for N7105
I did the upgrade, broke the root, could not get a few things working, so I decided to restore the Slimfast backup I had just made (complete including modem etc) and everything works except the GPS.
GPS for me is huge, I use it a lot. I cannot lock on to 1 satellite now. Before i was able to lock onto a minimum of 16 in about 30-45 seconds, if outside.
I really dont care if I can get to 7.1 at the moment. I need my GPS back - any troublshooting for getting GPS to work on this phone?
James
I would try to flash the original stock for your phone and country from sammobile. com
Gps should work normaly then. If not your hardware is broken. If it works you can always flash your data back from your Slimfast rom.

Crap, I am posting here, because I did it again. Again not sure how. I tried to run Reserection, and I guess that messed up the GPS.
To put the original stock rom on.. I have to do that through ODIN? I dont remember how I fixed this last year.. Sorry.
Hope somone can help I need the GPS.
James
ps. Used odin 3.09 to flash the original rom... still no GPS
You flashed the latest 4.4.2 room?

The Rom that I flashed to try and restore the GPS was I317MVLUDNF1_I317MOYADNF1_BMC (mine was an originally BELL phone)
But that did not repair the GPS from me flashing resurection.. I THINK did it. I flashed an android 6 and an android 7 rom. (Mokee) but tried to go back to my Slimfast.. and the GPS was now broken.
Basically what I did a year ago.. somehow I fixed it then.. but cannot remember at all how I did it.
James
The note 2 sold by Rogers, Bell, and Telus are exactly the same model and stock roms from these carriers can be cross flashed.
Try flashing the stock ROM twice in Odin with a factory reset in between each flash.

Do you mean boot up the rom.. run the reset in the rom? or flash.. - load TWRP back in.. WIPE.. then FLASH again with odin?
Thanks for helping btw.
James
I have backups (complete all partitions) of my rom.. Slimfast 4.4 from 2-3 days ago.. when I tried this. SO.. if I can get the Factory rom to restore the GPS.. how can I restore the backup.. I saw somewhere that the EFS partition could be left out and that might help? dont restore the modem? how??
James
I meant flash with Odin, boot into stock recovery, factory reset, flash again with Odin, boot into stock recovery, factory reset, and boot into the stock ROM.
Nope, still no GPS lock.. I have the flashing circle (always had) and it will not lock.. I read about where people go into a service mode and rebuild the NV? .. I assume this is something that Mokee or Reserection did.. not sure how.
Any other ideas?
James
what about using Odin or TWRP to put different modems in? does the modem effect the GPS?
tried this.. does not seem to. grrrrr wish I knew how I fixed this.
James
I assume there are no loose wires. Does it get a lock when using wifi? Not sure what else to suggest.
Not sure about rebuilding NV.
No.. I broke it with playing with custom roms.. Liniage was last year.. I did not try that this year.. but tried both android 6 reserection and android 7 Mokee.. and I am pretty sure they messed it up.. I am also pretty sure there was something I did .. easy like load an old STOCK rom and it fixed it.. I was then able to put my slimfast 4.4 back over it and it was fine. Unfortunatly .. not enough people still using this device.. I will have to have patience I guess.
James
So I have tried differenct stock roms, but I think the issue is ODIN will not restore code from a rom image that is HARDWARE based. I wanted to use Samsung smartswitch but they disabled the part of it that allowed you to factory reset the phone, this seemed to work for several people. Many have also reported entering a code and going into a service mode.. there you can do to a menu that will rebuild hardware modules back to default. But I have not been able to get into that mode because it seems to be a touchwiz only option, and I cannot find a factory rom that is touchwiz based for this model.
What needs to be done is a true FACTORY ROM image.. that would revert all software and hardware back to original, but I cannot seem to find that anywhere.
James
The only factory roms that I know of come from places like sammobile.com and they are all based on TouchWiz which is Samsung's launcher.
So guess what? put Ressurection back on.. and the GPS is back.
I cannot get it to work in any KitKat based rom.. but now anything Marshmellow up.. works.. HMMMMMM
