[GT-i9505][CM12.1] No mobile network after update - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
First all all thank you all for the awesome ROM's in the past. However now for the first time after 4 years I ran into an issue.
So I have a:
GT-i9505
Android: 5.1.1
CyanogenMod version: 12.1-20151103-NIGHTLY-jfltexx
Baseband: i9505xxuhof2
Kernel: 3.4.107-cyanogenmod-gdee2fdf
SELinux status: enforcing
The phone works great until I do any automatic update after the above mentioned version. The phone updates, restarts and then there is no mobile network access (phone, data). Everything else seems fine.
Twice I had to pull the battery to be able to start the phone after an update applied.
Restoring to the above update fixes all issues.
Any ideas?

[Q] Stock Sprint SPH-L720 Slow after OTA update on 12/16/13

I accidentally accepted an OTA update a couple of days ago that has really killed the performance of my phone G4. It' been very snappy up to this point. Apps take super long to open, and texting lags for several seconds. Reboots don't fix it, and I haven't added any new apps lately. Since the time the phone rebooted after the OTA update is when it's been having issues.
I'm assuming I'll have to root the phone, or wait for another OTA update to fix it. So, here's what I have:
Software version - L720VPUEMK2
Hardware version - L720.08
Android version - 4.3
Baseband version - L720VPUEMK2
Kernel version - 3.4.0-1927016, [email protected] #1, Sat Nov 16 11:05:09 KST 2013
Build number - JSS15J.L720VPUEMK2

Since you don't have a custom ROM and aren't rooted this question might best be asked on a Sprint Forum.
I'd be that you have a load of stuff starting at startup (account synch's etc.).
My suggestion would be to spend a few days reading through these forums to understand how to root and add a custom recovery to this device.
Then maybe install an app like Titanium Root/Rom Toolbox etc., to look at what's starting, syncing etc and then freeze or uinstall some of the culprits.
Then maybe install a custom ROM - after you've read and read a bunch.
I can root it no problem. In fact, this is the first Android device that I haven't rooted (worked pretty well out of the box for my needs!) I was just trying to avoid doing that because I just have the time to reconfigure all of my accounts, transfer data, reinstall apps, software bugs and all that crap...

Help, flashed cm 13 and dont have data anymore

Im not sure what happened everything seems to be fine except my phone wont connect to get lte, it switches from no data sim to full bars no lte. someone please help me. I have a nexus 6p android 6.0.1, CM version: 13.0-20160319-SNAPSHOT-ZNH0EAO1T5-angler, Baseband version: angler-03.61, Build number: cm_angler-userdebug 6.0.1 MMB29V b1275fc1c3 test-keys, My carrier is AT&T
This is a bug that was induced with MMB29M and it wasn't fixed until MHC19I. If CM has a nightly with the MHC19I fixes merged in, it should resolve your problem.

Galaxy S5 SCL23 (SM-G900J)

Hello.
I just recently got Galaxy S5 which appears to be only sold in Japan. There's some custom firmware installed on it which prevents Android to be updated. Phone doesn't have SIM locked, so any SIM card can be used.
Because the forum doesn't allow me to post link to a screenshot which shows firmware info I'll just write it down.
Android version:
4.4.2
Baseband version:
SCL23KDU1BNE4
Kernel version:
3.4.0

I'd like to completely wipe this firmware from the device, replace it with the latest Android version (6.0?) and root it. At first I'd like to know if it's even possible to do any kind of firmware changes on this model and what exactly do I need to perform the update/root.
Thanks.
Doesn't look like there is a 6.0 stock ROM for it, but you can upgrade to 5.0 here
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?r=&v=&q=SCL23
Flash with ODIN (Instructions all over the forum many times)
Okay, instructions on updato seems quite easy to follow so that shouldnt be a problem. Is there any recommended tool for root? I've found a lot of them and I really don't want to mess something up.
PS: How come there's no stock ROM for 6.0 even tho it's been mentioned in some articles that SCL23 model is also supported by Marshmallow update?
Anyone?
Okay, update to 5.0 passed without any issues. There are some default japanese applications on the phone which I cannot uninstall, is it possible to get rid of those somehow?
I have the same device Do you update succeeded or not
I installed Android 6.0.1 and the network was missing help someone Galaxy scl23 or give the firmware 4.4.2 or help to find the GSM network

Go to this link & download 4.4.2 then follow this tutorial.
Make sure to use key input from the options & use capital letters where needed. All being well you will have everything working again.
Make sure not to use any download manager for the download link. File gets about 100kbps so it'll take a few hours but you will get it.
I did the above then rooted the phone & flashed correct TWRP version to it then flashed 5.0 Lollipop SpaceX rom here. Everything working good & no loss of service on reset or reboot.
Hope it helps

CLICHE-Not Sure What I Did

Hello XDA
My last post was about losing root when I did an OTA update to NJ5
Since that...if I remember correctly I flashed a kernel with Odin and then used Towel root. It seemed to work but on reboot superuser wouldn't work and ultimately I don't think it rooted. But I changed something. It was so long ago I'm not remembering. I try to do the LATEST Ota from AT&T and it will download...reboot...get through about 25 percent and then reboot with a message that says installation interrupted.
I want to take my phone back to stock and start over.

Can anyone provide any additional details and validate if the below post is where I should be looking?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-stock-updating-rooting-t2926642?nocache=1
That's the exact place you should be looking. The latest full Odin firmware available is for NB1. You install that first and then upgrade to the latest using the updates available. All links and more details are available in that thread.

Help Downgrading my S7

Aight, so a couple of weeks ago I decided to finally accept the update that I always skipped, that pesky Android OREO (8.0) update was always harassing my notification panel and I finally decided to accept it and just update. What could go wrong?
After I updated, and saw that a few features were cool, I noticed something...
My phone was not charging even though it was connected to the charger. I tried airplane mode, I tried maximum power saving mode, I tried safe mode, I turned it off and nothing happened. It just didn't want to charge; some might say that it's just a battery issue, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case.
This happened right after I updated my lovely Nougat to Oreo.
So now I need help.
Here are my phone's specs:
*Build Number: R16NW.G930PVPU6CRE7
*SE for Android status: SEPF_SM-G930P_8.0.0_0008
*Fri May 25 20:35:22 2018
*Knox version: Knox 3.1, Knox API level 25, TIMA 3.3.0
*Security Software version: MDF v3.1 Release 2, WLAN v1.0 Release 1, VPN PP-MOD v2.1 Release 1.0, ASKS v1.4 Release 180123, FIPS BoringSSL v1.2, FIPS SKC v1.7, FIPS SCrypto v1.0, SMR Apr-2018 Release 1
*Android security patch level: April 1, 2018
*Model Number: SM-G930P
*IMEI: 353562085155911
*Software version: G930PVPU6CRE7
*Hardware version: REV0.6
*Android Version: 8.0.0 Oreo (I want 7, Nougat)
*Samsung Experience version: 9.0
*Baseband version: G930PVPU6CRE7
*Kernel version: 3.18.71-13585094, [email protected] #1
My phone is a SPRINT unlocked version, 32 gb. You can check out those specs; probably understand them a lot better than I do.
The thing is, I know that I'm going to have to root it in order to install a previous Android version (downgrade). I just don't want to take any risks with flashing the wrong firmware for my specific phone; I don't want to brick it.
So, can y'all please help me with choosing the right -my phone specific- firmware and stuff?
Giving me a step-by-step on how to successfully downgrade back to my 7.0 nougat would be a blessing too.
Thank You!

I cannot believe the charging problem is caused by Oreo. Try different chargers, and new USB cables. Google the issue to see if it's related to Oreo. If you are absolutely sure this is due to Oreo, then you may change it and root is not required.
Since the phone is still on bootloader 6, you may be able to downgrade to Nougat with the same version of bootloader. Flashing firmware is a complex process and phone may be easily bricked if anything goes wrong, so you need to understand what you are doing exactly. I would suggest to read thoroughly information related to Samsung Galaxy firmware update using Odin software. I usually get s7 firmware from two sites:
https://updato.com/
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/
Switch off your phone then try charging?

Well, ironically, my mother got a new -android- phone a couple of days ago and my phone charges pretty fine with her charger. I guess it WAS a charger problem, but my charger works perfectly fine on my father's phone and not on mine; strange.
The thing is, although it can now charge, the super battery drainage is still there, and yes, I'm convinced the quick battery drainage problem came along with the Oreo update. It lasted hours and hours on Nougat, but now on Oreo it barely gets to 3 hours and 30 minutes.
