Hi. I factory reset 4 Hydro's and when I try to go into Settings>About it crashes Settings with the message "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." I want to sell them and obviously this would be a problem for anybody that wants to activate them. I installed an app named Device ID - IMEI Checker and that says IMEI: null. Could the problem be related? Not sure where to post this problem. Thanks.

Thanks. I'll try asking there but from extensive searching it seems the only way to fix this is to send them to Kyocera and have them wipe and re-flash the motherboard. I'm no expert but it seems like rooting and unrooting them permanently corrupts something. I also have 5 Kyocera Event's doing the exact same thing. I bricked one of the Hydro's last night so I'm down to 3 Hydro's and 5 Event's. I saved all the Hydro's system apps a while ago and just pasting them all into system/apps didn't work. So I thought deleting everything in system/apps before pasting them might work. lol Needless to say EVERYTHING crashed including ES File Explorer which was needed to paste the apps back in. Bootloop after that and into the trash it went. :laugh: I earned cashback on the phones which made them almost free but I thought somebody else might be able to use them since they can now be activated on FreedomPop for $19.99 and have free service every month. It's more of a loss for somebody else that could have used them and had free service every month for a one time fee. I won't sell them like this though. I can still root them but now they're just wifi devices.

hi all
my problem its the classical no nv_data.bin on the /efs section , the one i found its on efs/root/afs/settings but its BLANK nothing on the file i soft brick the phone several times and restored again and again and nothing.

Well.... Sorry I suggest searching XDA through GOOGLE and read the other hundred posts and suggested fixes regarding the issue. Try the different methods mentioned. There is one guy 'ODIA' that I have read, and seems to be the only one, who can fix this issue. But you have to pay him, give him access to your computer and the sensitive info on your phone. I tried helping somebody with about a dozen methods and none of them worked for him. But he had a null IMEI (all 0's) and his phone still worked.

One option is to flash to complete stock and take your phone to T-Mobile. Tell them it happened when using Kies mini to upgrade to GB. I read over and over that it has happened to people during that process which would not be your fault and they should help you fix it.
Good Luck!
ty for you time
i didwhat you say and they ask me if i have a phone line whit them ofcourse i dont so they say " just clients can have help from us , and i recomend you to TRASH that phone its TOO OLD!!!!!"

thank you very much i have done it now
Thank you. Thread closed.
Yes I have looked at all the other threads but still get the splash Hands free activation screen on a cold restart. Once I select it goes away because I have renamed the Activation.apk to Activation.bak under system/priv-app
the phione is new rooted via Kingo and I am modifing files using Root Browser
I have looked for the OmaDmClient.APK but it is nowhere to be found. Likewise no SprintDM.apk
I am new to phone programming and this issue is more a nuisance than a deal breaker but I do want it solved if anyone out there in the know can tell me which file starts up the splash screen. It seems to pop up just as the wireless signal module is started and once I click on activate it goes away because I have changed the Activate.apk file name . I read through all the other 6 threads on this but none seem to match my file so I am wondering if LG has recoded this activation screen for android 4.4 or maybe just my phone. What happens if I go in and clear the data/dalvik-cache file? Is it possible there are a few lines of code that are put there initially that prompt this action? Will this cache be rebuilt upon a reboot? Anyway maybe one of you has this figured out.
TIA
Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device and issue. You will need to ask for help here...

Hello there,
I need some info on how or if it is possible to make use of my full adb restore file or I just throw it away and restart fresh of my device.
Device is allview viper v1 (16Gb) -
NO ROOT and not interested in rooting it.
I believe I made a few versions of good back-ups including at least one good full backup including apks by using UBT (1.3.2 version if I am not mistaking).
My problem: I can't restore the phone by using any of the created ab files by using adb which drives me nuts.
It's worth to mention that in between I upgraded the phone software from 4.2 to 4.4 by using the producer's update images... I did a factory reset with 4.4 and re-installed most of the apps I had. I even copied most of the data from a file-sync backup...
Every time I try to use adb restore I get to the screen to input (now 2 passwords which basically are the same), I get the message "restore starting" and quite fast "restore finished" on the phone screen though while using the full back-up I definitely see that adb is still accessing / reading the file for longer time...
What I tried further: I used abe (android backup extractor by tweaking their .sh script) to create both standard individual .ab-s but also kitkat compatible ones (with abe pack-kk) with no luck in restoring the apps and their data.
It is quite annoying since after converting to .tar and un-tar-ing I can see that the backups seem ok and I can even see the sqlite data and xml settings for the apps but I do not know how to import those to the new OS running on the phone.
I tried this using both USB storage, picture mode, etc., input only the desktop pass and afterwards inputing both of the asked passwords.
So the question is: can I restore the data (about 32Gb including the pics and docs) or should I delete all the "working" files I created and put it on the "learn by error"?
Should I try to downgrade to 4.2. (if it is even possible..) and try the adb restore there?
Cheers and thanks in advance.

Info about the device is available on the forums here - more or less related to the allview name since that's a re-branded phone - e.g. how to root it, how to flash it, how to recover from a broken state but that is not what I am interested in...
I guess it's more of an Android related question but might be a device issue too.
Nevertheless, I will take your advice and copy / paste the original post in Android Troubleshooting section.
Thanks.

Hello guys,
this is my first post on this forum (sorry for my poor English, I'll try to write my best), and I'd really like to ask you some advice about my situation.
I used to have an Android 2.3.3 device and Whatsapp installed on it, regularly updated (I still have it, but I'm not using it).
Almost a month ago I bought a new device, with Android 4.4.4 installed, and I immediately put WhatsApp on it.
Before removing SD from the old phone, i saved my backup file OLD.db.crypt8, in order to let the "new" whatsapp restore my messages. Unfortunately, a month passed before i could be able to think about restoring my old messages.
Thus, i have accumulated (?) a month of messages, and i "backup-ed" them in a MIDDLE.db.crypt8 file.
I already managed to decrypt the "middle" db.crypt8 file (extracting the key file from my android 4.4.4), but don't know how to decrypt the OLD.db.crypt8 file.
OLD, in fact, comes from Android 2.3.3, as said, and i got no key file
My final goal is, after decrypting all three databases (OLD, MIDDLE and "NEW" - provided that NEW is the database i'm "growing up" on my phone at the moment), merging the three databases in an only database (and this is possible with the XDA guide i already have read)
Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much :laugh:
