[Q] Help :)

Hi, I Dont get massively involved in my phones but I bought a San Fransisco to try out Android, I was impressed even if I couldnt get it to work with a Dutch data sim while over there, I've now bought a Sensation and just recieved an Asus Transformer. But back to the Blade, I'm unable to Change the ROM. although it says the phone is rooted and I've superuser permissions but when I run titanium or rom manager it says device not rooted, I'm guessing the rooting is corrupt, thew phone still works as a phone but is there any way I can blank it and install a ROM, I dont need backups as I wont be going back ... only forward

Can't return to stock in I8730 after installing cyanogen 11 (Galaxy Express)

Hello,
I'm from Brazil and own a Galaxy Express. Used szezso tutorial to install cyanogen 11 on it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792157
Due to GPS instability, I was inclined to use warranty, so I had to return to stock rom.
And here begins the trouble. After goin back to the stock rom, my cellphone went mute (notification, ring, call, recording and media play), I can make calls, it has signal, but I cant hear the person on the other side. The cellphone will eventually hang when entering in standby mode, also. It hangs with the screen off and I have to remove battery.
The stock rom I'm trying to install is I8730UBAMC2_I8730ZVVAMC2_ZVV.zip (VIVO) which I obtained in sam mobile, I ve tried another brand rom (TIM) with almost the same result. It's weird because I could reinstall the same stock rom before, it's the second time I have to this.
Now I'm trying to go back to cyanogen but Framaroot is not able to instal SU, and now I dont know what to do I'm desperate.

Well, thanks for your help,
FYI I managed somehow to make framaroot work via Gandalf method and was able to reinstall Cyanogen.
The funny thing is, after I flashed I8730XWAMK1 using CP-button in ODIN (following Svennen tut) the sound was restaured, meaning that my phone got dependent on this baseband to work.
Does that mean I cant flash the stock rom anymore (the one I used to flash before), thus I cant have warranty back?

[Q] rare problem with Galaxy s4 i9505 Us Cellular

i have searched for several hours now about 12 for a fix and this makes no sense to me so i'm thinking this thread may help or just piss people off idk how forums work any way
after installing this lollipop ROM(link) everything was working perfect very smooth very few bugs almost perfect. i flashed back to unrooted stock after this and now i do not have an imei or a network but i can use my data..... i have tryed the following fixes
1. turn it off and then back on again.....
2. re flash the stock rom with odin
3. use efs professional backup then restore with adb
if i go back to the lollipop rom that i tested i have back the network but my wifi will not work on this rom -.- very confused about what is going on and do not want to risk re flashing the radio if that will brick it
any ideas?

[Q] Looking for Stock 4.4.2 for AIO/CRICKET

I have searched everywhere with no luck. My I337Z was 4.4.2 (after OTA) working well, no root, no unlock. Suddenly IMEI and Baseband go null. So what I did first was to restore it to factory settings, which didnt work and also some native apps like Contacts stopped working (not opening). I tried to restore it through KIES, it put my phone in Emergency mode, no escape there...I then went to the Factory files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448794 which got my phone back to 4.2.2 and working...but still no Signal nor IMEI nor Baseband. I flashed MODEM and now it doesn't have any sound, wifi either....I went through KIES again and was able to catch the files it downloads when initializing the device, flash the System, MODEM and CSC, but same results and it is still on 4.2.2. Also when trying to flash Bootloader I get FAIL(Auth) code (I suppose because my BL is not unlocked)
My request:
I am thinking if someone can make a backup of System partition, I could put it into my phone as RESTORE through TWRP (not installed yet) I might be able to revive this device.
EDIT: I am looking build i337ztuubne2 since my bootloader is now ne2 because of the OTA
Suggestions are welcome!! Thanks!!!

KIES 2.6 or 3? You had to be root to get to TWRP. Did the Z model ship with 4.2? I would be surprised, but don't really know. try 3. Start in download mode. I use cricket as well but never a cricket device. I will be in our cricket retailer today, the guys are pretty much ignorant to anything more than activating but possibly one may have a Z/s4 we could pull a nandroid from. Doubtful.
Sounds like you need a warranty replacement. Lesson learned? Always backup EFS!

First, the phone came with 4.2.2, so I used the files that kies 2.6 downloaded (haven't tried with kies 3) but the phone had 4.4.2 when it started acting up. It was updated OTA. As of now, I am rooted with twrp installed, no issues there. Now, if you could extract a nandroid from one of them, would be great! I do want to be on KitKat and not JB. I can flash it through odin 4.2.2 with no WiFi, sound nor calls. I think because the baseband is for KitKat and not for JB

Soft-bricked and recovered backup. Now unable to root.

Hello everyone.
N910W running stock Samsung firmware, 5.1.1 Lollipop.
I had my phone rooted a few months back and decided I wanted to try a Marshmallow rom. I created a backup of my pre-rooted device a few days prior, so I wasnt worried.
The rom I flashed for some reason would not allow me to use my carriers network, but only other networks. So i restored my unrooted backup.
Now whenever I try to root my phone, I get a bootloop. Every method I've tried so far (TWRP flash and ODIN, pretty much) has produced similar results. I could find the original samsung firmware for the device and flash it over and start from scratch, but I don't want to lose my data if I don't have to.
Halp. Send halp.
thanks guys.
P.s. i tried using the search, but this is either a unique problem or the search bar sucks.
