[GUIDE] To Asking Questions! (Have a problem? Start Here!)

How to Ask Questions!​
If your messing with your phone, eventually you will have a problem you cant solve on your own. We have all been there, its just part of modding your phone. but if you give some time and a little patience, most of the time its easy to get fixed.
FIRST: SEARCH!!!​​This means try searching a thread if its too long, or searching the entire G2X Section of the forum. (and we can tell if you really searched or if you just say you did to get rid of the people yelling at you) If you see nothing that relates to you, or you have tried all of that, then you can make a post, BUT FIRST...
Stuff to Try Before Posting:​​So... your having a problem with your phone... well there are a few things you can do to help fix most issues:
Go into CWM and clear Cache
try this first, it really does help solve most issues from within a rom
Make a Nandroid Backup and clear data
just do this as a test, make a backup and clear data. check to see if the problem still exists, if it fixes it then its something you installed/did to the rom that caused the problem.
if not then...
Try flashing a new ROM
even if you don't like it, even if you can never go back to gingerbread after ICS just try it to see if it fixes your problem. If it does then you can decide if ICS is worth the issue your having.
Clear App data/Reinstall App
If you having an issue related to a specific app, try going into settings and clearing that app's cache and data. if the issue still exists try uninstalling it then reinstalling it after a reboot.
If none of these things helped you, then its time to make a post.
Things to Include in your post:​​If your having an issue, many of us are willing to help to get it resolved, but first, you need to give us some useful information.
A good checklist to include in your post is the following:
Current Rom
Current kernel
If you have done ANY undervolting or overclocking.
If you had this problem before (either on other ROM's or previously on your current ROM)
If you wiped Cache
If you wiped Data
If you tried installing another ROM
Any other things you already tried (BE SPECIFIC!)
the more you include in the first post the better, too much information is MUCH better than not enough.
If you think the issue is related to a specific ROM, try posting in that ROM's thread in the development section, but please don't spend too much time there. If nobody can find a simple fix, move your discussion to a new thread in the Q and A section, don't clog up the Developer's thread with a single issue.
Once again, the more information you give us the better, and if you don't post the above, someone will most likely ask you those questions, or tell you to do those things first (or they just might ignore the question).
If you see any typos, or think of anything i could add or improve on please let me know.

Hi all...
I was watching, reading and was excited about cm 14.1 for my LG g2 which was running on lollypop.
What a mess I created for myself. Will explain step by step. I I would be thankful if anyone can teach me get out with it and back to LG rom lollypop.
1. I rooted my phone with one click tool.
2. Then I installed Twrp through play store app.
3. Download cm 14.1 for lg g2. The as well as open gaps.
4. Next thing I did rebooted to twrp recovery and clean it after taking back up. But was not able to flash cm 14.1. Also loaded gapps7. 1.
5. After so many trials nothing happened I even updated twrp to 2.8
6. Then I found twrp 3.0 and tried to flash it.
7. Suddenly my phone came to a stage Fastboot.
8. My computer stopped detecting it.
9. Then I re plugged it into the USB of my computer.
10. I found the partitions are there. But no system is there.
11. Even I don't know to sideload it.
12. Lg flash tool is not able to flash it.
I request if someone know the way to flash it with lg roam. I L be thankful.
Can anyone email me steps to do to get out of it.
My email is [email protected]

Time is not changing of Motorolla Maxx HD

First of all i am thinking that my device has been changed, as its LCD got broken so i gave it to repair shop to repair it, and after recieving it i hard reset it, when i tried to add google account it wont add.
Then i taught its because of the time, the time is set to 1970.
Seriously :cyclops:
Well then i check my software version as i have previously updated it to kitkat 4.4.4 it is showing 4.4.2
This is the baseband version
vanquish_bp_100731.020.64.21P
I have reset it again, but time wont change, will rooting make it happen, or any suggetion what i should do with it.
I cant use google apps

you got hit with the 1970 bug man,in my case only disconnecting the battery worked.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2580974

Thanks for the link i will sirely check it, but for a note i am a complete newbie and the phone is on stock rom, i dont know how to mod/custom rom it

No help :crying::crying::crying:

Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 - NO SIGNAL (IMEI/IMEISV:null/null;Baseband Version:Unknown)

Hello everyone,
As this is my first thread, and I have been reading previous assists based on IMEI fixing and couldn't find the answer I am looking for, I really hope that the XDA community can help me fix my Galaxy S4 I9500. I will try to explain the problem the best I can, and I will create a list of every solution I have tried in the 3 week phone fixing saga I have.
1. The problem :
My friend decided he does not need this phone anymore, everything was fine with it except the battery was swollen(but I bought a new one so it doesn't matter). The day before he gave it to me, he accidentaly dropped it in the toilet and it couldn't boot. I opened the phone, cleaned it with alchohol and the phone booted up normally. The thing I noticed was that in the status bar the network symbol was replaced with No signal symbol. I tried 3 SIM cards and none worked. I decided to downgrade to 4.4.2 KitKat version and this is where everything went even worse. I used Odin to downgrade a firmware downloaded from sammobile.com, but I didn't create an /efs backup because I have flashed an Alcatel Idol 2 before and there were no problems with the IMEI or so. It turns out that Samsung devices are different and I am left with NO EFS BACKUP. I know, I should have checked what to do before flashing the device, but what's done is done. The device is doing everything great, there are no problems with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth either, except I cant connect to a network because IMEI is null/null and the Baseband is unknown. The thing is, I am not sure if the IMEI is wiped completely because of a hardware problem, or it's software related because of the /efs folder, because I am not a developer, but a civil engineer :silly:
2. Solutions I've tried so far :
- Flashed many different Android versions;
- Flashed a Lollypop with adonis.pit with Re-partition checked on Odin;
- Tried writing an IMEI and repairing the EFS with Octoplus box;
- Tried flashing an EFS backup from my friend's Galaxy S4 I9500 ( IT IS ILLEGAL IN MANY COUNTRIES, NOT IN MINE, BUT I WANTED TO TRY AND CHANGE THE IMEI LATER SO IT WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM );
- Tried flashing with a IMEI_null_fix.tar.md5 file which i found on a forum and that didn't fix it either;
- Tried KIES to return the stock ROM but either it does not recognize my device, or it says that my device could not be initialized or so;
- Took the phone to service, but in my town the only service we have is not very professional and they didn't even know the IMEI null does not mean that I will have no wireless connection/bluetooth connection, so they didn't fix it either;
- Tried with EFS Pro, Terminal Emulator and programs similar to those, 3rd party and PlayStore ones;
- Maybe other things but I could not remember because I think I tried everything...
I don't know if the problem can be fixed, but deep inside me I hope that there is a solution, and I think this is the best place to search for help, because it is a great phone and I don't want to throw it away just like that.
Thanks in advance everyone, hope you can come up with a solution.

Anyone please ?

[urgent help] permanent no service

It's been two weeks and it's getting really frustrating now! I can't get my signal, neither on Lineage OS nor in the stock ROM. My IMEI number is still intact. I can't find a modern.bin file in my stock firmware to update my modern but when I flashed my stock firmware,the baseband version got updated to the latest version. I tried restoring multiple nandroid backups with efs but nothing works. I have read almost every section and post on this forum and others but I've got nothing working on my device. I tried deleting the phone app and contacts too but
This thread is my final hope of getting any kind of help. I just hope someone is able to help me out :crying:

I can't get wifi to work after installing TWRP

Hi all,
Before you jump at me telling me I haven't searched the forum, I DID and I couldn't solve my issue even with these solutions. To get you up to speed on what exactly I did.
Briefing (not very important):
I was doing my own business and I was free, I use my phone daily and it served me well. But I noticed that the last security patch I got was on 2020 and got me thinking. Why not just use custom ROMs to update my phone and get a year or two from my MIX3 (2018). I just recently flushed my brother's phone (Samsung) with a custom ROM and I liked it. I already installed TWRP 3 years ago on my brother's phone and I just had to install a zip file and boom new Android 12 on a 2014 phone.
The problem:
after reading here on the forums, it seemed that it is more complicated to do. I'm up to the challenge, I have done it before and the reward is worth it.
+Unlocking the Bootloader
this was a bit easy other than the connection issues but I got it unlocked eventually. (use the QR code to sign it. it is much easier)
I had an issue where after unlocking the bootloader the phone didn't allow me to install TWRP and do a backup, it immediately went into erasing the entire phone.
+Installing TWRP
I downloaded the files from TWRP website and everything was smooth other than the Mi Recovery popping every time I restart (install Magisk to plant TWRP then remove it if you don't need root)
+The downhill
after restarting, the phone worked fine I installed all the apps and restored everything. Afterward, I noticed that the camera does not work. It gives me an error. I reinstalled TWRP again since it was reverting to its Mi Recovery and I think here was the problem I flashed the recovery.img into the boot partition by mistake (I didn't notice at first) but after going back to the command I saw I made a mistake and reflashed the recovery with recovery.img and installed the Magisk and everything was ok. At the initial start, the SIM and the WIFI are not working.
after several attempts at reinstalling different flashable stock ROMs, I saw that the issue is consistent. I read online that you have five .img files that control the different parts of your phone. I got tired and decided to reflash the stock ROM via the Mi flasher and get it back to stock.
Even after flashing the stock ROM, I'm still having the same issue.
I reflashed the modem.img in the modem and still wifi and sim card are not working
I read that some phones have an A/B partition and my phone does NOT have it.
I'M AT A LOSS I CAN NOT FIX IT. IT'S BEEN 3 DAYS ON THIS AND I CAN NOT FIGURE IT OUT!!

Ok, If anyone was passing by I think I found what was the problem.
First, check if your problem matches mine. Go to Settings and check your IMEI. Or just dial *#06# ,if your phone did not return with a number then you lost your IMEI number.
follow this guide and I hope it helps. this is only for some phones so don't try it, it might break your phone
[GUIDE] Backup, edit and restore QCN. Fixing lost IMEI.
