My phone not detecting external SD card
I lost WiFi ,Bluetooth, hotspot not working after usin g this ROM for 1 month USB otg support also not working early I can't connect with PC too. Twrp also not detecting SD card and otg
Sim2 slot not working
I can't go back to stock ROM because my ROMs are saved on external SD card
Plz help me to fix the problem..:crying::crying::crying:
I do factory reset of this ROM but no effect

Buy and SDcard adapter to plug it into zour PC, then extract the ROMS you need on your PC and do a restore! :good:
one quick suggestion: downgrade back to latest version of kitkat, it is much better when it comes on battery!
I happened to dry my battery on 3 hours, but by downgrading I got another 1 or 2 more hours! really useful if you use whatsapp a lot, but if you just happen to use your phone for games, you should stay in the newest version so you can install them

[Q] Factory Reset with Encrypted SD CARD

Hi,
I used to encrypt my sd card on my nexus 4 few months ago. Since my last CM 11 update, I'm expecting some problems with sounds uring phone calls, which it appears to be related to internet connection, 3g or wifi : in fact, when I power on internet, there is no sound during calls ans people don't hear me either. I have to reboot the phoen every time.
So, I wanted to a factory reset, in order to totally clean my phone and install another custom ROM. But I saw people having some troubles when attempting to do it (SD Card refuses to mount on recovery interface, some phones bricked during other attempts).
My question is: is it possible to reset this phone with encrypted SD Card ? I'm sure there is a solution using ADB interface and a computer but I need to find the real working method which I didn't find either.
Thanks for your replies !
So, nobody at all knows anything about that ???

[Q] Reposting so someone might be able to help

Just unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP and root etc. on MXP all working.
SD card is now not seen by phone and not when connected to pc by cable. Card works in pc and moto g 2014.
Sandisk Extreme 32GB
I've searched but cannot find anything.
Thanks in advance.
Just tried connecting it using an OTG + adapter and it is recognized but still not when in the SD holder in the phone????
25/4
Still no fix. Factory data reset. Reformatted SD card to exFAT. Still not seen.????
Can't see this as a hardware problem. Please, anyone...
11/7
Phone sent to repairer in Manchester (UK) who said they could fix it; had it for nearly a month. Finally said it was not repairable. Sent it back boot looping and flat battery. I managed with fastboot to restore stock ROM then rooted again. So now it is as before, working correctly but no SD card recognition. The pins in the reader look unbent.
Do I give up on this?? Is there a software fix or command I can try? Mainboard damage?
It all seemed to happen when I unlocked rooted etc.

It seems like it's hardware problem that's is why it ain't recognized.
But Better trying more you should flash new row after clearing all cache / Dalvik cache etc and check it whether it works or not??
It still you face same problem try to repair your phone again through service Centre again may be luck by chance problem sortout or if not.
Better to give it up on it.

I have the same problem after putting the sdcard tray back in the wrong direction. Sdcard doesn't work since then because some pins in the tray are damaged and won't make contact anymore. I lost warranty and can live without,but you can try to fix it under warranty. Maybe they won't even notice you unlocked the bootloader.

Is it possible that rooting the phone made the SD card reader problem or just a coincidence?

don't restore flash the whole stock firmware again. see if it works.
That is what I did. Flashed the latest stock firmware. I didn't mean restore.

SIMs stopped working.

I bought this phone with MIUI 6 last version after that it upgraded to MIUI7. At first I used 2 SIM cards for some time. Then only one.
Yesterday after I sold the phone having latest MIUI 8 a strange problem came up as the buyer put in both of his SIM cards.
When both of the sim cards are inserted, the phone shows no SIM. If only one SIM card is inserted then the connection works fine. I tried inserting the SIM into the second slot which seems to have the problem and 'no sim' was displayed.
My question is as I never had a repair on my phone, could this be software problem? I've installed fastboot rom 2 times already with the same result. I've done factory reset for just the heck of it even after wiping and installing the fresh MIUI 8.
I used *#*#4636#*#* to try and switch off the radios on both cards, but for some reason 'turn off radio' button is click able but doesn't do anything. It just keep saying 'turn off radio'. Also on the preferred network mode the automatically selected values show 'WCDMA only' for sim one and 'Unknown' for sim two, no matter how many SIM cards I changed. I changed both settings to 'LTE, GSM/WCDMA' many times to no avail. Either the SIM 2 slot seems to be the culprit or the software. Could something like a SIM slot die after it is unused for a long time? And if it's dead why is it choking off SIM1 as well when both are inserted together?
I flashed MIUI 8 on my Redmi 2 Prime and i faced the same problem. If you remove the SD card, both the sims work perfectly. It is the similar to the tech. in Redmi Note 3 or the 3s Prime. They have a hybrid SIM card slot and the phone, when flashed with MIUI 8 assumes that you have a hybrid SIM card slot too, whereas you don't. So, I'm sorry to say this but you'll have to flash MIUI 7 for both the sims to work along with the SD card.
Fastboot rom guys, flash fastboot rom!

Flash miui v7 in fastboot.I had also face this trouble. When I flash miui v7 fastboot everything work properly.
Yup I'm facing this issue on miui 8 it's a software bug... When I enable data connection it shows the indication of data working properly but after some second's the sim turns off like no sim is inserted but net is working properly... Better to switch to miui 7 for a couple of days until the next update.
Hello, Pankaj.Pal9 bhai.
It's a Software problem. Not the Hardware issue. I faced the same problem on my Redmi 2 Prime smartphone after installing the MIUI 8 Global. Faced the same problem in the phone with MIUI 8 but not with the CM13 or Dirty Unicorn Custom ROM. If you are Okay with Custom ROMs, then install CM13 or Dirty Unicorn. Otherwise, just install MIUI7 Fastboot version.
If you ask me, I will say CyanogenMod 13 is the best ROM for Redmi 2 Prime and other Xiaomi Devices. You can get more features in CyanogenMod 13 than MIUI7 or 8. If you are looking for Perfectly Optimized Custom ROM for the device, then the Dirty Unicorn ROM is best.

REDMI 2 Doesn't boot after jio sim insert

I have a redmi 2 8gb variant with model 2014818. I am currently on AOKP MM ROM. I have an Idea sim card as my primary number. I tried putting jio in the second slot and the phone didn't boot. So i swapped their places and my phone didn't boot. Phone shows MI splash and reboots again. The only way that i can get my phone to start is by putting either one of these sims. As soon as a put both, my phone does not start again. What should I do? Should I try another ROM and edit this post in the upcoming days or is there any solution to my problem out there?
NOTE:- My phone is Redmi2 and not Redmi 2 Prime.
Same happened with me, try flashing miui fastboot rom, and follow procedure to flash a custom rom.
Read the post by me.Hope, that will help you.

Or try this :-
1)remove both sim. Now insert any other sim than jio in 1sd slot(keep 2nd slot empty) and let it boot(may be there will be some reboot).
2)Now insert jio sim in 1st slot(keep 2nd slot empty) and let it boot.
3)Now insert other sim in 2nd slot(keep 1st slot empty) and let it boot.
4)Now put both sim and let it boot(jio in 1st slot and other sim in 2nd slot).

still going nowhere and now my fastboot drivers are corrupted!! My pc cant detect device in fastboot mode, but is seen in adb mode. So i cant even flash stock miui to test your method.
just remove both of ur sim and insert jio in sim 1 slot...then go to recovery then wipe and factory reset ur rom and reboot it will work for u if not then wipe everything and flash any stable custom rom ..
well..i have a solution... same happened with me
.
download cm14.1
download cm recovery
download fastboot rom for ur device
flash cm recovery and 14.1 via cm recovery(recommended)
then flash fastboot rom
problem solved for me..hope that works for u as well.
if it works let me know at [email protected]

My "fight" with Meizu M2 Note

I'm new to this forum and generally new to flashing phones etc.
I bought a Meizu M2 Note, for testing. To learn to work with the SP Flash Tool.
The phone was broken (€ 7.5). I replaced the charging socket (2 €) and it works.
I tried to install TWRP, but by mistake (and ignorance) I format the whole memory of the phone along with the bootload.
Stock Rom did not help.
I searched the internet and found the "full" rom. Unfortunately without NVRam.
The phone works, but there is no IMEI.
After several hours of trying to restore IMEI, install StockRom and root by KingoRoot. I did it. The phone has an IMEI (or even two).
And now to the core of the problem...
The phone does not connect to the network.
WiFI works normally.
Any ideas how to fix this?
I tryed both SImSlots, i tryed by *#*#4636#*#* but its inactive...
i cant upload photos. ;/
