Hey guys,
I use version 4.4.4-2015-02-18-jflte-NIGHTLY on my S4. Till this version updating works fine but now no updates are shown at the integrated updater. When I try to update by downloading the rom manually and flashing it with TWRP (2.8.4.0), I loose my IMEI and Baseband and have no connection to mobile network anymore. Restoring the backup let me use my phone again but updating my phone doesn't work.
I searched on the internet and found, it may be a problem with the modem and installing the modem after updating would fix it, but this solution didn't work for me.
Is there anyone with an idea what I can try?
Thank you!
The same problem
Hi,
I'm with the same problem that fukuk: I haven't had connection since February updates
I hope you can help us! Thank you very much for all your work
Since I don't believe @jakew02 no longer has his jflte, we probably should have killed nightlies for this device ages ago.
It's not going to get fixed unless someone who actually owns the device troubleshoots it. There's nothing in the commit history for anything on the 4.4 branch that would explain breakage on February 18 - everyone was working on Lollipop by then.

I still have it, it's just been collecting a fine layer of dust for the past few months, I've been overwhelmed with classes (starting to get into doing clinical psych work and writing papers every single week) and a new job..
I do have the android-5.0 branch booting on it right now, I just have to work out some bugs before I push anything to gerrit

No problem. Can you reproduce this issue that supposedly started on Feb 18? I've been seeing various people complaining about it but can't figure out what might have caused it - since no one merged anything to the 4.4 branches around then...

Same here I have this issue..
Still we wait for fix or explain how to fix it.
System and radio logcats from both a working and broken build would be useful, along with a dmesg
Also which exact jflte variant you have WHEN you post the logs.
The problem is, if you look through Gerrit's merge history, nothing was merged between February 13 and February 27.
The only thing that might have caused radio issues is https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/11694/ - but that would've broken things on the February 14 build, and all builds from the 14th onward would be broken - but builds from the 14th to 18th are apparently OK?
Guys, is there any way to download the offical jflte 18-2-2015 version?
your help is much appreciated.

I just flashed the 2015-04-16 build and indeed the ril is broken.
I flashed my android-5.1 build from about an hour ago and rather than having the "no service" icon (outline of signal bars), it just says "No SIM", so I'm pretty sure RIL is working in this android-5.1 build. I just don't have Sprint service (but a Sprint variant, since it was the cheapest on Swappa when I bought this replacement last year) to actually test the calling, BUT a guy at work has Sprint so I can probably bug him this weekend for his SIM card, unless I can get a Sprint tester here?

Out of curiosity, does a self-build from the 4.4 trees have broken RIL?
If so that says there's something that needs to be cleaned out/up in the build server.
I didn't try out a self build I used the jenkins build from the server to replicate the scenario of a user downloading and flashing normally. I'll fire up a self build now with the 4.4 branches and check.

I'm testing something right now to fix RIL for the 4.4 builds. I had moved the property out of the common device tree and forgot to add it to the jflte specific tree while I was working on another device.
Tonight's nightly should be fine, I'm compiling now to verify before submitting.

That's strange - how did it break on Feb 18 as opposed to some other time then?
I don't see any changes to qcom-common or msm8960-common for quite some time?
I fixed it. I pushed a commit to samsung qcom common to move Ril to the device trees while I was bringing up lt03 and npushforgot to push to jf.
It's been fixed so the next nightly build will be working, confirmed on my device. Without Sim it still has signal bars

Yeah. Thanks for figuring out why it broke.
I still wish I knew how it was working from October through until the build server housecleaning in February, since it should not have been working.
Great, thank you!
When will it be possible to download it? Last available version is 2015-04-17.
Thanks you all, Confirm now it's working fine.
I have an LG G watch connected to my Galaxy S5 running CM13.
Even though I have 'Mute phone alerts & calls' turned on in AW, the phone still rings.
This worked properly on CM12.1 and still works if I restore my last twrp backup of CM12.1.
Not sure where to post this because I don't know if it is a problem with Android Wear, Marshmallow, or Cyanogenmod.
I see lots of people posting this problem for lollipop but it appears to have gotten fixed. Now it's back. At least for me.
Anyone else having this problem or is it just me?
Can confirm that I have the same issue since March update. I am running pure nexus April build with April security update and I still face the issue. Seem like a prevelant issue as far as I can read. I really hope google fixes it

Are you saying you had a version of Marshmallow (CM13) that DID work? If so, what was the last working version?

I use Pure nexus rom which is CM based. The Feb build worked like charm and that was marshmallow

I intend to track down the version that broke it so maybe I can spot the actual change and try building with out that change. Could you tell me the last version of CM13 that worked and the first version that didn't? I was a bit late to the CM13 party and the first version I tried was well into March.
Feb update worked
anything after fed doesnt work (atleast in PN rom)

U can check the PN thread for a date
Coming from a Note 1 (N7000), I'm quite satisfied with the work of XDA developer bauner . He set his focus on providing a stable CyanogenMod based ROM wich is always updated with the latest security patch level - no fancy, just stable and secure. He is even working on a CM14.1 ROM.
I got an old Note 3 from my son. I'm not sure, if I should keep it, despite it's way better hardware wise than my Note 1 from 2011. I keep some business related data on my phone, so my focus is on security.
From looking around, I found several ROMs for the N9005 which haven't been updated for months. I found some other ROMs (based on Note 7 stuff) which are updated frequently, but seem to focus on fancy stuff, nice features, but never mention any security related update.
So I'm wondering: is there really no ROM for N9005 with focus on security? Or did I miss one?
I'm sure most of the CM13 roms comes with the latest security updates. Trader is still updating temaseks cm13 with security upgrades for example. You can also go go ahead and try out one of the two CM 14.1 roms here on the forum.
The CMs are constantly updated. If you want 6.0, there is Temasek's. Otherwise, there are also the CM14.1 builds from trader418 and christer12, even if the first one seems to be more stable
still can't find a suitable ROM
Thanks for your response.
Reading your comments, I was continuing searching all XDA ROM threads for Cyanogen ROMs. Google is pushing security updates on a monthly base. So I was looking for a ROM which follows this path. I would even pay a monthly fee for it.
From what I've read so far, I got the impression that the work on Temasek CM13 ceased in favor of the CM14 builds (which are not stable enough for my personal use case). From android-hilfe.de (German forum)
Is there anybody working on this ROM? - No, work on CM13 stopped

Looking at the Temasek thread I can see under "current info"
Android Version: 6.0.1_r30

A quick google search shows this version is from April 2016. Looking at his repository, Temasek stopped his commits in August and I wasn't able to find another repo which is still maintained. Trader is developing CM14 and he is supporting CM13 for Verizon. There's a Temasek 12.2 from October, also build by Trader, but I don't know the patch level. Looking at his Twitter account, Trader is busy with university stuff at the moment, so he had to reduce work on the ROMs - he omitted at least two patch levels (or even more).
Looking at Purify, the last version is also from October (hmm, does he depend on the work of Trader?). And finally Christer closed his threads CM threads for unknown reasons. Maybe because he was not providing his kernel sources, like the XDA guidelines demand for GPL stuff.
So, which CM based ROM did I miss? Is there one I'm not aware off? It seems I still can't find any CM13 ROM which is actively maintained on a regular basis.

My fork of temaseks cm13 is found at GitHub.com/trader418. I'll upload an update later today with the latest security patch. I aim for a monthly update at the least however uni work had been getting on top of me. But now I'm finished for Christmas I have more time.
I think mi note 2 has been out for a long time but it seems that developers without much attention to this phone. I'm curiously Why ?
Because of old story - MIUI never release kernel source code ? or ...
Whatever it is, I would like to see there is lineageOS 14.1 in this phone.

It's the old story of lack of kernel source. Historically kernel sources have been released about 3/4 months after global rom availability, which happened a few days ago.
It doesn't help that availability all round has been limited for these. With so many people wanting the global edition and there being shortages of that model there's just not that many of these around at the moment in the hands of people that want to mod it. MIUI is very popular in China.
I'm hoping another 3-6 months we'll start to see some serious progress.
Luckily it's in the same device tree as a few other recent releases so there's some level of cross compatibility, lithium (Mi Mix) for example would require only minor modification to work and there seems to be more dev interest in that,
I did consider making a cooked MIUI rom for the Mi Note 2 (inc. xposed, root, a few tweaks here and there) but there didn't seem to be much demand and realistically if you want those features you already get them yourself without any real struggle.
I'm an old dev for CyanogenMod on Xperia.
I will try to put Lineage OS when the source of the kernel will be available.
A port can be possible with the source of the One Plus 3t (i supposed) but is better to wait official release of the kernel.

These Lineage builds are by HondaJohn88 who I'm working with.
I've been bugging him to post them himself (when he does I'll get the old thread locked) but he hasn't yet.
Be aware that not every build he uploads is one that he's planning on sharing (or even an improvement over the last) - occasionally things break and some are more for archiving than actual use.
He shares his work in the Mi Note 2 Telegram group so I'd recommend joining so you can find out which build would be the most worthwhile.

About the imei issue , i don't know how to restore it , honestly.
I've use ROMs in the past, but never with the Essential phone. In fact my phone has run so well, I've never even factory reset it a single time, let alone put a ROM on it. But with Essential gone, I need a way to keep my phone secure.
I'm wondering what the best way to keep stock android (nothing wrong with stock) but allow myself to get the latest android updates as they come out. In looking at the ROMs there still seems to be some issues with bugs, and since this phone is my daily driver, I'd like it to be as stable as possible.
So is there:
1) A way to get the PH-1 on stock, but still get the important security updates somehow?
2) A rom available (even if android 9) that works for PH-1 that would be super stable but also get all new security updates?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I could have sworn I saw something that basically said you can download the latest stock version (that includes security updates) and flash it every time there is a new update. But I guess I could have misunderstood?

That was the case until Essential went out of business - you could do OTA updates, or download and flash yourself. The stock security updates were only provided by Essential, and the Feb 2020 update was the last one for this phone...

No way to stay on stock & get security updates (well you will get some direct from Google ie the Google Play System Update, the last one shown lower down this page
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2020-03-01
and can be found in your settings under security, but its only a fraction of patches)
That means your best option is probably the Android 11 GSI when it's out of Developer Preview in a July (?) and hope it's bug free, else Lineage etc .... not that you want custom roms, sorry.

Basically I'm looking for something safe and stable, whether it is ROM or otherwise. Right now I'm stable, but not safe. So you think my best bet is move to Lineage (to become safe) and then switch to the GSI when it is out of developer preview (and stable)?
From what I have read and asked here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/development/rom-evolution-x-4-1-69-t4073153
This ROM will give you what you are asking for as far as regular security updates are concerned. I have been waiting for Lineage to release an "OFFICIAL" version of Android 10 for our PH-1's but so far nothing. Also I would not mind going on Android 11 but then I do not think that will get monthly security updates either so I am thinking about trying this Evolution ROM out.... I have never worked with a phone with A/B slots so that is my only concern but after reading all the threads I am starting to understand how that works.
Hope this info helps you out.

Guess for stability & functionality it would have to be LineageOS.
Looks like May version is ver 17.1 (Android 10), not sure how this compares to previous version re bugs/working functions, but that means previous ver is already a month out of date on security )

I'm on EvoX the only thing tht is not t working very well, is tht if u fast forward or rewind on Netflix ur phone reboots, hopefully fixed next update, but I'm happy with this ROM, the touch lag is almost non existence for some reason, glad they managed to fix tht. Also L1 certification is still there. The 360 camera workes better in this Rom for some reason. The best part is the customization though, so much

I'm the same boat as you, had hoped to flash LineageOS 17 months ago then move to Android 11 in few months time, guess it's decision time now.

Guess for stability & functionality it would have to be LineageOS.
Looks like May version is ver 17.1 (Android 10), not sure how this compares to previous version re bugs/working functions, but that means previous ver is already a month out of date on security )

Also DO NOT use the Essential USB cable & DO NOT relock boot loader!

Very strange that no one has started a new thread in the Custom ROM section about this... (This being an official release version of Lineageos 17.1) you would think it would be bigger news? There is still only an Unofficial thread... strange..
Anyway IronRoo let me know what you decide to do and how it goes... I am still on the fence as my PH-1 is currently working perfect on stock 10 but it is of course on the Feb 29th security patch... plus I haven't done a custom ROM install since my LG G5 but I hear it is like riding a bike... lol :silly::fingers-crossed:

For LOS, I think we should wait until their server is back, and few more releases come out.
LineageOS 17.1 for Essential is so new, only couple releases, and still in updating state.

Yes, many will agree, though I'm OK with giving it a go but I need to buy a new high quality USB cable as kid damaged my Samsung one and have only a cheap 6" one which I'm not sure I trust to flash without bricking phone.

Just did a quick websearch and a few have tried flashing it reddit and here on the 16 thread, and it's suggested wait for next release (first recovery had issue, but now fixed, but next release of ROM should have a few fixes & Lineage build servers are down so not sure when new release will drop)
