[Q] CyanogendMod NFC Fix (Solved!)

I've been using the Jellybro kang of CyanogenMod (10-20121120-SKANK-d2vzw). I had NFC working as recently as the 11/3 build, but when I flashed the 11/5 build NFC broke.
I tried flashing a stock JB (deodexed and rooted) rom, enabling NFC and restoring back to my nandroid, but the NFC still wasn't fixed. I've tried the NFCfix.zip and that didn't work either.
Do I need to flash stock.vzw_root66.tar in Odin and turn on NFC? Or is there a specific stock rom I should be using?
What am I doing wrong, or what else should I try? I've done my best to search the forums and figure out a solution, so figure me if there has been clearly hashed out elsewhere.
Thanks!
[edit] Solution: flash this NFC fix http://www.mediafire.com/?y6vx27cpaasqhxs

i use an ICS rom to fix my NFC, have you tried that instead of JB TW?

Let me give it a shot. Are you suggesting any TW ICS rom or specifically a stock ICS? Can you link me to the rom you use, please?
Thanks!

Have a look at http://rootzwiki.com/topic/36150-aosp-and-nfc/page__st__10 .... on that page, someone created a flashable zip that fixed my NFC, direct link to zip (flash via recovery) http://www.mediafire.com/?y6vx27cpaasqhxs
*edit* I see that you've tried an NFC fix before, so had I and it didn't work. This one did!

i use a stock rooted from scottt that i have saved on my laptop to fix my NFC.
ive seen people ahve success wth the zips floating around, try that first its quickest easiest

No matter what I do, I cannot get my NFC to enable. I've flashed both the posted fixes and I've reverted completely back to stock, unrooted ICS, and several other ICS TW ROMs and NFC will not turn on. Has this happened to anyone? Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? I was on PA 2.52 and had used wallet for a few weeks before NFC quit. Now it's just completely dead

I'm having the exact same problem and seems like no one can help with this

On my S4 I9505 I can turn on S4 but then nothing happens whenever I try to scan any tag... Any ideas? I flashed different stock roms and tested 3 different batteries with visible loop antennas on them. Nothing works.

i have heard that it is due to kernel.
the hardware and software need a kernel to communicate with eachother.when u flash a rom,the versions of both are mismatched.
try flashing the appropriate kernel too,matching with the rom.
what kernel?where to find it?i am sorry i dont know this,
just want to give u idea ,of which nature your problem is .
hope you find what you need.

Wifi and bluetooth not turning on

Hey guys,
My HTC One 4.4.2 Kitkat Wifi, Bluetooth and FM radio no longer work and will not turn on and stay in "turning on" mode.
I woke up one morning without any changes and my phone just could no longer use Wifi. I did a complete wipe of everything OS etc and flashed a new rom Android Revolution HD and wifi still will not turn on. I cleared the catche etc when doing this and flashed the boot.img
Since my phone is rooted it's warranty will most likely be void so fingers crossed it's something i can fix. Just seems weird how it stopped working out of the blue like this.
I have searched but most people with this problem seem to have it once flashing a new rom.

You should flash your phone back to full stock e.g. by running a RUU. Whats your HTC One model (m7/m8 free/carrier branded) ???

Thanks

Seems as there is no matching RUU. But i have found a stock rom backup. Its flashable via CWM. --> LINK

Yea
Been struggling trying to find a stock RUU also. Will that RUU work using TWRP as i thought to flash a RUU you only had to enter into fastboot mode,

Do you need the backup for twrp? I think its easiest to flash CWM and use the file from my link. I haven't found a twrp backup.

Nope, can do that without much trouble though as i have found a tutorial on how to do so.

I have cwm installed instead of twrp now. Didn't realize how easy it was to flick back and forth between the 2 lol.

[Q] Anyone succeed with GPS with custom rom

Hi all,
Did anyone able to use gps with custom rom ( I would say CM base). I research and try everything that's I could find here but not success.
Every time I do clean wipe everything including a internal storage. So that will nothing left behind.
I know that stock is work fine with gps. some said that install and replace stock but I have no idea that what file will left in our device when we delete all.

Always had the same problem when running Paranoid Android (not tried other ROMs). Had to return to stock, where GPS runs fine. Would also love to kknow how people have got it functioning.

I am trying too. I modified gps.conf files, tried some workarounds mentioned in cm11 thread like restoring GPS Status backup from stock with titanium so far with no success. Some people say that it works but it doesn't on mine whatever I do.

I run on CM and I don't have any problem. Everything works fine with gps and I didn't use any fix or something similar.
I'm on CM 11-20140627 and I have 1032 phone.

Interesting, why does it work on some while it doesn't on others? Maybe some variants are having problems...
I have xt1033 asia version.

Which recovery did you use?

CWM

As I wonder is about library missing or some partition need from stock ?

I've also been using the micro gapps package, would this matter?

I had problems with Paranoid Android and GPS too... If anyone know something about that, please comment!

I am having he same problem on XT1032 running Carbon ROM. GPS worked fine on stock, no signal with Carbon.
I found many answers saying to flash stock and then reflash custom ROM. I will try it, but I wonder, how does this help? Isn't the phone restoring the whole system? Do I have to keep the gps.conf from stock?

I've read in some CM thread on here you need to flash stock ROM then enable GPS and get a lock. Once you've done that then flash your custom rom. Sounds STUPID and dosent make sense I know, but a lot of people say this is how they got it to work.
EDIT: I can confirm. I've just flashed stock 4.4.4 and played around with google maps. Flashed CM11 nightly and my GPS is now working ok

Did you wipe anything, like Dalvik, Cache and Data, or you just flashed it over?

Sorry people, I was so happy to have my phone back working, I forgot to write it back here.
Yes it worked indeed, all I did was flashing back the stock, going outside to have a gps lock with gmaps, then re-flashing back the Carbon. I also kept a copy of the gps.conf, but I never needed it, the GPS got a fix quickly. Working fine so far, it only takes some tens of seconds to fix, from time to time.
I can't remember if I also did all the wiping, I think I didn't, but I made so many trials in a couple days, I am not sure.
Thanks a lot guys!

Yes, this worked for me too on PA.
I couldn't even see a single sat (it wasn't just a lock problem). No matter with gps patch, gpx fix app, or gps.conf I used.
What I did?: Back to stock, lock GPS, flash again the custom ROM (but don't wipe /system!).
Good luck on that guys, it should work for you too.

GPS works fine on this unofficial CM11 rom for me. Stable daily driver rom for me, YMMV.
General advice is to:
- make sure you get a GPS lock on stock rom first
- flash CM11 (or other custom rom)
There may not be a file left on the device. it may just be that stock contains the code to initialize the GPS functionality on the SoC or chipset firmware. Whatever, it works...

Suddenly extremely poor reception

I'm having major issues with reception in my house, and only on my 16 GB OnePlus One. When switching to my Windows Lumia 635 or my HTC One X+, I get fine reception-- but as soon as my SIM's in my OnePlus One, I start receiving texts extremely late, which is a problem with apps like WhatsApp which require text verification.
I'm running stock ROM. That's CM 12.0-YNG1TAS17L. Stock kernel, unrooted even (ever since I flashed it back to stock to try and fix the reception issues). I've also tried OxygenOS, BlissPop, and Exodus and none of those have fixed my reception woes. Thanks in advance!

You ever get this fixed? I recently took a trip to San Diego and noticed the poor reception there.. a friend of mine, who's also on T-Mobile, has excellent reception with his new HTC One. I, on the other hand, had horrible reception; sometimes none at all. I've manually flashed the latest radio and still no dice.

Yeah-- here's what I did:
1. Flash stock ROM.
2. Update to latest stock ROM version via the CM updater.
3. Install TWRP again if needed.
4. Followed steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-cm12-calls-sms-mms-deep-sleep-t3103193
I flashed both the modem and proximity packages after updating to latest stock, and I reflash every time there's a new stock update. Hopefully this works for you!

Wait, isn't the stock from still on 4.4 or something? How does that fix 5.0+ issues? Anyways, I'll give it a try, can't hurt, right? Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes.

Well, stock is 4.4, but when you use the stock CM updater you'll be brought to CM12, 5.0.2. You don't have to stay on 4.4

(Though presumably you could just try flashing modem and prox packages without flashing back to stock-- I just wanted to be sure as possible that nothing would interfere with the packages.)
