[Q] Data issues on Hammerhead Sprint. - Omni Q&A

I know there were data issues in the past for Nexus 5 Sprint users. Well for the 12/3 nightly I had problems with data. I flashed the old fix, but I only got 3g for data. I did a full wipe: System, data, cache and dalvik. Still had this issue.
What am I doing wrong?

I flashed the latest nightly, 12/4. Flashed PA Gapps, flashed the APN fix. Before all that I wiped system, data, cache and dalvik. I had 3G for like ten minutes and never again. I rebooted. Nothing. I do have the latest TWRP.
I don't get it.

Not entirely sure. Problem is that everyone who is working on the hammerhead is on a GSM network.
I'm guessing it is some sort of APN configuration issue, but that's just a guess.

I'm guessing that, too. Question is, what is the APNs I need and how do I edit them in manually? Because the flash fix isn't taking. At least not for me.

Weird...I found I also needed to flash SuperSu. Once I did, LTE began to work. Unbelievable! So its working now. I'd like to know what one had to do with the other!

2.3.3 Can't download any market apps

Hi everyone,
I have successfully upgraded my NS OTA to 2.3.3, but now I can't download any apps? or do any updates. I am connect via wifi and can access the web in other apps.
I have done a hard reset/wipe and still I can't do it, it just always comes back with "download unsuccessful".
Please can anyone help?
This is wierd I am getting the same thing happening when I sign into My galaxy S, I can't download any apps? is the Android market likely to be down? or is there something I need to do to my account?

Thanks for the reply, I tried this but it was still the same, and when I connect my google account to my Galaxy S it does the same thing, this is over wifi or 3g, is there any chance that the google servers are down or something?
Looks like I am not the only one then:

Did you do the update manually? Or from Google? I haven't received the update yet.

I've been on 2.3.3 for a few days now but I got tired of it this morning so I decided to go back to CyanogenMod but I had this issue. Nothing would download at all. It was very, very frustrating. I ended up going back to 2.3.3 stock and its working fine again. I'm really not sure what the hell was going on.

It was an over the air update. But I had to restore first before it would see it. I think there was a problem with the Google servers last night, all seems OK now.

@Dax05: Don't wait for the OTA. Just download it from xda (make sure you download the right file for you), and follow the instructions. It's really easy. I did it in 5 minutes. It's been a week now and everything runs smoothly!

I'll look into it 'cause if I'm not mistaken I saw the one for GRH78 & I have the GRH78C build. It wasn't working due to that.

Random reboot

I'm still on my stock ROM with just root permissions and I'm getting random reboots every once in a while. Before I was rooted I had one or maybe random reboots that I remember and one of the times it just reboot while it was in my pocket. I rooted my phone two days ago and since then my phone has randomly rebooted itself about 4 times already. I had the two mods added which were the touch screen and video bitrate mod. After I seen it happen more than usual after adding those mods I reverted back to stock. I was wondering if anyone else is having these types of issues maybe perhaps a bug in the stock 4.2.1.

might be a widget. a lot of people are having luck with the franko kernel. but his r16 build released earlier today started giving people random reboots. he either has it fixed already or is in the middle of doing so. the r15 build that i am on is great. but i would wait for the 16. the changelog looked pretty good.

TWRP: Crashes restoring or wiping /data

Hi all,
Issue with TWRP and restore. I've got a backup, but when I tried to restore it, it would crash and reboot while restoring the /data partition. I try wiping the /data partition (I have my backup on a server, too) and it crashes midway through that, too. Just reboots and returns to TWRP.
What should I do?
Thanks,
Ben

This issue is mentioned over in the official TWRP forum under "Original Android Development" The Dev acknowledged it, saying he needs to fiddle with it... Might not be bad if you poked your head in there with any other information you could add...
*fingers crossed* Hope they get it patched up soon... I'm a little restore shy now. Up until I encountered this, I was swapping ROMs on a nearly daily basis... No anymore.
I started over again, like you, and it works ok now. But I don't know when/if the problem will rear its ugly head again, so holding off until I hear more.

I'm having the same problem with 2.5.5.0. Happens probably 30% of the time and always during the data restore. It completes on the second go-round, but I'm constantly holding my breath. I was under the impression that this was taken care of in this latest version.

Ain't it the truth.
So I just tried doing the same with my phone and the installation failed, something about illegal instruction. I'm running CM 10.1 on an unlocked, S-OFF HTC Vivid.

No, I tried with RomToolbox, same method as with the N10. I choose 2.3.3 0 from the list, so I assume it was the Holiday version. The first time I tried, it claimed I didn't have permission, but I think that was because it was the first time I was using Rom toolbox since flashing CM so the permission popup came after the fact. I rebooted and that was when the message changed to invalid instruction.
Edit: Tried again with 2.4.1.0. Same result. But I located the files and they are holiday, so I can just flash with fastboot, I guess.

I have used both LMY47Z and LYZ28E. I just recently switched to this. All work equally as good honestly. The only difference are the radios and bug fixes (LMY47Z being the oldest of the 3, LVY48C being the newest). Everything has been working great for me. I have also used multiple releases on T-Mobile before I switched back to AT&T. You will lose the WiFi calling (doesn't show up in the settings anymore because AT&T hasn't provisioned it) and VoLTE (they are slowly deploying it out everywhere) however. Just make sure that you do a clean install (wipe data and clear cache). You will have issues if you switch from one version of 5.1.1 to another without doing this.
Ok, I am very new for my N6. My N6 is rooted on LMY47Z with bootloader unlocked, un-encrypted with TMWP recovery. According to my knowledge, I have to convert to flash factory recovery before I update to LVY48C? Am I right?
LMY47Z to LVY48C
is there a way to flash from LMY47Z to LVY48C without a wipe?

Using fastboot, flash all image partitions except the userdata.img one. That will upgrade you without wiping your device.

Just flash the system image.
Does anyone here know if this factory image installs any specific Project Fi apps by default?
Flashed only system.img and everything is working fine.
Flashed without wiping and everything is also working fine. A Project Fi app is included (does not show up in my apps drawer) in this ROM but can be easily disabled.
Flashed LVY48C via the NRT.
“Flash Stock + Unroot” > Enable ‘No Wipe Mode’ + ‘Force Flash Mode’ worked great and its as if I just took the normal OTA. Re-rooted after and all seems to be well.
I think the reception in my office (a basement) might be slightly not as strong, but sms still works fine over wifi. So no real issues to report on it.
I'll flash this on my VZW nexus 6 a bit later today. The M preview just isn't going to work for me.
For what it's worth, it doesn't work for Sprint. It gets stuck saying no SIM and the phone app force closes. I reverted and everything was fine again.

Pure Nexus ROM

I installed Pure Nexus on my Nexus 6P the other day. I was using the phone as stock for the past couple of months. I'm an old user of CM mind you.
Since the last 2 days, Ive had nothing but problems with the ROM. I've got several apps that keep crashing,, namely Minimalistic Text, Camera and others. This never happened at all on stock. Even when I use Airdroid to scan the QR code, it uses the wrong camera.
Unfortunately, I've decided to flush Pure Nexus and just in the middle of flashing CM 13 and will try it in a few minutes.
I think I've given enough time for Pure Nexus, but I can't blame the apps that I'm using, as I've used them before on various ROMs on my old Nexus 4 without incident as well as on my Nexus 7.
I've tried to post in another forum thread but since I'm unable to as I haven't posted many times, the forum has driven me here instead.

Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
the apps you are having issues with, did you restore those from a backup (i.e. Titanium Backup)? If so i'd clear the app data/cache and force close them. Typically that helps.
I've lost everything since I've put in a different ROM, but have contacted the developers of the apps of my problem. After mant apps crashing, I decided that it was futile to contact the developers as I realized it was due to the ROM and not the apps I was using, as I've used them before without problems

If I were you, I would try again. Download the ROM and verify that is the correct checksum. Like I said, others here have Pure Nexus without issue.
did a hashcheck [md5] of all files as I usually do. Now I'm even having problems flashing new ROMs since in the last hour or so. I've made a backup of Pure Nexus ROM, so I know I'm able to use it, but might have to do other things here in the next couple of days to get rid of it

I guarantee you it was not due to the rom. If it was others would be reporting the same thing you are. Logs are the only way to diagnose a problem. Its a waste of time discussing anything workout logs..

I just reverted to Pure Nexus again from my backup as I can't seem to flash any other ROM. I did some logs on one app but I can only do it while the app is running and not when it's crashed. I'm unable to attach the file here but only put the text which is too long for an xda submission. I've gone through help to attach but it seems I have to make a new post and not reply to this thread.

BTW I've installed CM 13 and minimalistic text works flawlessly on it, no hiccups no crashes, weird!!
When stuff like that happens to me and I feel I've tried everything I can think of, I usually make it easier on myself to run the script in Google's factory image and start new. Flash TWRP with ADB tools, format, reboot TWRP, transfer flashables, and start with that ROM from scratch with GApps. Most variables of messing up would have been avoided and chances of success should be high. Anyone else agree with that?

LOL! I've done that a few times reverting to stock and going from there. I'v had to do that in the past to get out of trouble. But seeing how I've done this countless of times over the past few years and the last phone was also a Nexus [albeit quite a change from Lollypop to Marshmallow], the rules are the same for flashing. One thing I was concerned with initially was that the vendor.img file for Pure Nexus was MMB29P but I'm on MMB29T. I don't know if that's an issue. I'm using 6.0.1 Android.
I may try it again in a few days mind you and re-flash. Will def post something if it's a positive change!!
