I had B360 and then I received two updates back to back to be in B366. Now I don't have WiFi call. Any thoughts? Thanks
Tried factory reset?
Did you updated OTA or through Firmware Finder? Because if it worked before, something must went wrong while updating. Begin to take in consideration the idea of backup app and app data with Titanium backup and perform a factory reset.

I received them as official updates. I'm with metro PCS and I used to have before WiFi call. I don't know what happened and I also don't see any options anywhere
Can somebody show me how to enable WiFi calling since I don't have the option anywhere since updated and I don't know how to enable from now on. Looks like it's gone

Hi guys,
I just bought the TF700T and I'm loving it. However, I find that restoring my tablet to my own specification after updating the device is a bit tiresome. Now the reason I'm doing the factory reset is because I read online that THAT'S what you're supposed to do after updating the device (if that's not the case, feel free to let me know). Regardless, I'm hoping that there's an app out there (paid is perfectly fine) that will restore my device to my original configuration after a factory reset. Things that I'd like it to do are as follows:
1) Automatically re-download all my Google Play apps. I have other android devices, so I'd need the app to remember which apps were installed on the Infinity, and then download them after the reset. Also remembering their custom settings would be nice, too!
2) Backup media folders that I designate
3) If possible, restore widgets that I had set previously (though not necessary).
Lastly, I don't have root access and don't really plan on doing it.
Thank you!
if you are on stock unrooted ice cream and are trying to go to stock unrooted JB then you shouldnt need to do a factory reset. it should DL the update over the air and then install over ICS while keeping all your apps and files as they are.
but if you facotry reset, it will all be gone. titanium backup will do what you need, only if you root.

Thanks for your reply. The only reason I'm doing factory resets is because of a "guide" that purports that doing so will ensure flawless update. I personally do not know for sure.

You should do a factory reset after you manually downgraded the firmware. If you just accept the OTA updates, you should never need to reset. Which "guide" was that?

Oops I can't post links yet, but it's over at the transformerforums. Just google "How to update your firmware OTA - incremental changes & full OS updates"
But if you say it's not necessary, then I won't do it. Too much of a hassle for me to reconfigure all of my apps over something as small as an OTA update.
Thanks!
Ok, let me start by saying that I fully expect that I screwed something up, but here goes...
My 4G had stopped working and I decided now was the time to root and unlock my phone, since Verizon recommended a factory reset to fix the 4G issue. I rooted and unlocked my Jelly Bean OTA using this great thread and installed Titanium Backup to get a full backup of everything. I ran the factory reset (that was probably how I screwed something up) and (I think) reran the root and unlock steps (maybe didn't need to). Then, I restored everything using Titanium (pro version). No surprise really that 4G still didn't work (subsequent new SIM took care of that issue).
But, even with the "bad" SIM and the new "good" 4G-capable SIM, I'm not receiving ANY notifications for my apps. Nothing for Gmail or Google Voice. In fact, those apps actually seem to require opening them and pressing on the refresh icon to actually receive new emails/text messages. I have everything set to autosync and to provide notifications.
Any idea what I screwed up and how I can fix it? Since I've got a good backup of everything on an external microSD card, I'm wide open to suggestions here.
Thanks so much for any help you can provide. This is driving me crazy not having my notifications! :crying:
That sounds sketchy. It doesn't sound like you did anything incorrectly. Here are my suggestions...
Make sure your Google account is set to sync
In recovery, clear cache and dalvik cache In recovery, under advanced, fix permissions
If all that doesn't work, I may try another full factory reset. Then in TiBu only install apps (without data), and then restore only select app's data individually.
Hope that helps.

This exact thing happened to me. I was stressing out big time - even thought it was the ROM I was running that was messing things up. I was constantly sending myself test emails and waiting to see if they would be pushed to my phone (GMAIL).
The problem was my Titanium Backup Restore. If possible, do a factory reset of your phone - with whatever ROM you like. Before restoring your apps and data, try manually adding your gmail account and send some test messages. I'd be willing to be you will receive push notifications.
If so, try restoring your backup but uncheck and gmail related items. This solved my problem - let me know how it works for you!
I got antsy before I was able to see these messages and went ahead and flashed back to full stock. Verified all notifications are working correctly, and proceeded with all the OTA updates to get me back to Jelly Bean. Now, I'm going to re-root and unlock. I'll restore selectively on apps and not restore Gmail or Google Voice, though it really did seem like ALL notifications were somehow stopped.
I'll post back with my results.
Thanks so much!

Actually, this brings up a question, once you're rooted and unlocked, what exactly does a "factory reset" reset you to?
Thanks.
It wipes the /data partition. Basically all user apps+data.
You will remain on the same ROM, retain root and your bootloader will still be locked :thumbup:

Is this from the standard menu factory data reset or only through the custom recovery?
Thanks.
My Advanced Calling is not working. When I go into the AC settings it says it's already activated (see attached pic) yet I have no on/off button or anything giving me control of it like my girlfriend has on her unrooted, stock G4.
I am rooted on OC3, no roms or anything just stock. But for what it's worth I also could NOT get it to work when I was unrooted either.....
Anyone else having issues?
Factory reset
Same here.

Don't wanna lose root and have to do the whole process over again :crying:
I am having the same issue, went through various reset and disable/enable on verizon's end. They are saying the only option left (in their troubleshooting tree anyways) is a factory reset, which I would ideally like to avoid.
Is there any benefit to an on device factory reset rather than pushing the stock OE2 via Odin?
I wonder if I did a factory reset, got AC to work, then re-rooted, if the AC would stick and continue working alright with root? Because I want both...
Ok guys so here's what I did.
I spent a ton of time in a support chat with samsung to no avail.
I finally flashed via odin, OE2 software (which was the out of box software for me) Rebooted and upon noticing that it wasn't a "full wipe" decided to do a factory reset.
Then I booted into recovery and performed the factory reset. At this point advanced calling was still listed as enabled on my verizon account.
I start up the phone, set it up (and deal with the annoying OTA download which I of course did not install) and the DT Ignite app pulls, plus other application updates. Lo and behold Advanced calling is available on my device. I download pingpongroot, perform it, verify it, and now I'm off to the races of getting my device back the way I wanted it.
I have titanium backup installed and I froze the "System Update" program and deleted the update.zip file from ./cache/fota. DT Ignite has also been disabled via the application manager.
I still have advanced calling and have verified it functions properly.
My only slight concern at this point is I have yet to reinstall adaway. Other than that I have performed all the major tinkering I did last time.
Hope this helps.
In short, an OE2 odin pull followed by a factory reset worked fine for me.

I'm in a similar situation in that I have the same build and rooted. VZW Tech support advised me to use Software Repair Assistant. Does anyone know if this will affect my ability to root again, I mean once it restarts and does any auto updates? Also, does it restore all my data, settings, pictures, etc?

I have never used the Software Repair Assistant tool but I'd be pretty wary of using a tool when I don't know exactly what it is doing. I'd hate to accidentally permit something to make my phone un-rootable. If you haven't tried re-flashing OE2 followed by a factory reset I'd give that a shot first.

Hello,
I'm a Canadian user (6045i) that installed the US firmware (7SR4-UE40) a while ago. I'm rooted (flashed SuperSU in Recovery mode).
Today, I finally decided that I wanted to get the latest firmware update (5.0.2-7SRA-UEA2). I did a full unroot with SuperSU, rebooted, checked that the phone was indeed without root access and tried to get the OTA update. Every time I try, it says my system is up to date. Why is that? What can I do to get the update?
Thanks.
So, I'm the only one with that problem?
Download UEA2 and install it like you did with UE40? That's what I've done to get the latest US firmware. We're not going to see the US OTA updates through a Canadian carrier. We have to install these ourselves, manually, just as you did with UE40.

I thought of doing that, but if I recall well, someone mentioned that doing this, you were missing some of the stuff that was installing while doing it with the OTA. Can someone confirm this?
Did you notice some improvement with your phone since you installed the latest update? As for me, the double tap never really works well (well maybe i out of 4 times), this is something I'd like to see improved...

As far as I know the firmware's posted here by users are the "exact" image you would get if you did a OTA update yourself. Improvement, a bit I guess. The double tap can still be an issue once and a while. I find a reboot solves the issue, but only for a while. The Chinese rom was the best performing firmware all around, but changed too much internally (files system) for my liking, so I went back to stock UEA2, with root.

So, no need to unroot to flash this firmware?
Do you have a link to download it? I can't find it at the moment... Thanks.

Here's the post I followed (for others that might read this)....instructions are in the first post. I'm pretty sure you need to un-root, I did anyways.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/general/convert-canadian-6045i-to-6045i-updates-t3177979
See the 3rd post of this thread for all the user submitted firmwares, UEA2 is at the top of the US firmwares, submitted by Brian117. As famewolf has stated in that thread, these are "out of the box".

Thanks! If I were doing this as an OTA, I won't have to wipe my device and start all over with the apps. Is there a need to wipe everything with this update? I did wipe everything when I installed the US firmware (from the Canadian) the 1st time, but I'm not too crazy to start all over again...
Try without wiping apps/data, should work fine. If not, you'll have to wipe everything. As your rooted you should have Titanium Backup installed, and doing routine backups of your apps/data. I have my apps/data backed up every night on a automatic schedule at 2 in the morning. It's always there on my external sd card should I have a issue. Makes swapping roms / firmwares a non issue.

I do have Titanium. So, yes, I'll be able to come back to where I was quickly if I have to wipe everything. I was not rooted when I installed the US firmware at first, so I had to reinstall everything. Didn't think of Titanium before asking this time....
Thanks again!
I have an unlocked edition S7 that I had put on verizon but has been wifi only for the last few months. I did a factory reset and now it seems that the IMEI is gone? if I dial *#06# I get "SM-g930u is not supported on showimei", and a third party app says imei unknown. Searching on xda I see discussion of people flashing 3rd party firmware and having this outcome, but that's not my situation. My phone has samsung's stock nougat rom on it, never been rooted, etc. Before I go down the odin rabbit hole is there anything else I can try? it seems hard to believe that a factory reset would cause the same kind of failures that incorrectly flashing the ROM would - factory reset shouldn't touch the ROM. Of course anything can happen...

Update: seems I managed to update to the oreo OTA by mistake so that's probably the cause, not the factory reset.

Yes, it's still missing. I agree, it's the OTA update that must have caused the problem - the factory reset was a red herring.

So, I've fixed it, using the suggestion of doing a factory reset. So for future posterity: factory reset, then update to oreo, then factory reset again. Silly that it takes doing two resets to get it to work. Meanwhile some shady character tried to sell me octoplus to fix the problem. Beware!

Also if you gonna do any mods, back up what you don't want to lose and sign out of Google Account by just deleting it off phone.
You can actually turn off FRP by signing in on a Web browser with Google account and manage device from there.
