after fast boot part im lost!! I think ill wait to November 3rd when the factory images are released

Do you know what the android SDK is? Most of us use this one because it only includes the essentials. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/lightweight-adb-and-fastboot-installer/

 

You need to go into the folder where the SDK is installed, and make a new one for the lollipop file you've downloaded(should be a .tgz at this point, if it isn't manually change the file type to .tgz) extract the file in the folder and you should get a tar file then you need to extract the .tar file.

 

Now this is the point where your phone needs to be unlocked, when you go to fastboot mode it says unlock state on the screen, if it's locked you're going to need to open up a command prompt window and run the command I gave you above ***This will WIPE your phone of any and all user data*** then once you're unlocked you either can double click the flash-all.bat file to flash the image to your device, or you can run the other command I gave you in a command prompt window.

Ha, phones clock is an hour behind this morning. Wrong weekend Sprint!

On AT&T we changed from Mountain to Central time this morning. Not even the right direction. LOL

That would drive me nuts. Not getting data and then to do a factory reset especially after all the customization. Any idea what caused it?

Not at all, woke up went to work and went to do my normal routine and realized data wasn't working. Tried a prl update and I kept getting a network error. Tried everything I could think of but to no avail. Luckily I didn't lose much, just a few photos.

Happened to me a few months ago. Connection showed as unregistered in signalcheck. I tried everything. I ended up factory resetting then restoring a backup. Very confusing. I would've thought it was related to me tweaking stuff, but it happened randomly weeks after I last changed a system file.

That's what was showing for me in signalcheck pro, first time it's ever happened to me.

Weird, a few people have asked me about this lately. "Unregistered" showing in the app typically indicates a device that is not activated on the network. I see it on my deactivated EVO LTE and when I put inactive prepaid SIMs in my Nexus 5. In my experience, you will get network connections, but cannot transfer any data.

Yeah I don't get it, hoping it's just a bug with this version of lollipop.

Were you seeing the same results on both 3G and LTE? Did you try re-seating the SIM? I know it doesn't really matter now, but if this a bug it has the potential to be a huge one.. @cordell12 recently contacted me with a similar issue on two Note 3's and a Nexus 5, but it only affected 3G data -- everything else was fine, including LTE. A factory reset somehow did the trick.

It did it on either one sadly.

That happened to me, but Sprint was to blame when they some how messed with my Airave and phone. For some reason a day later it was fixed when I tried activating the phone via Wifi.

Its happened to me a few times. Re provisioning with *#*#72786#*#*, updating profile and then prl has fixed it every time. I'm not sure what causes it, but its really annoying.

Pretty sure I tried that but I could be wrong. :P

When I first got Lollipop installed I could not get data working for the life of me for hours. Showed up as "Unregistered" in Signalcheck. Eventually some combination of radio info switching and profile updating fixed it, though I could always connect in 1x mode (CDMA Only). Occasionally SCP will show "Unregistered" when I'm connected to Wifi and camping on LTE, especially in fringe coverage areas.

I had this same issue when first flashing the new Lollipop image earlier in the month. Unregistered in SCP. PRL update didn't work, neither did reprovisioning. 

 

Did a factory reset and after the initial activation during setup everything worked fine and has since. Weird.

Anyone get the notification for the official update yet? Sitting here on the final preview not sure I'll get a prompt for the official one. And finally has anyone seen the official images yet? Here's hoping for some more polish.

If your on a preview build than more than likely you will not get a notification for the OTA update. I myself went back to kitkat to wait for the update. Otherwise you'll have to flash your phone again with the official lollipop build once it goes live.

I checked earlier today and it said I have the latest version... I know it was supposed to launch today, so I'm looking forward to it.

Folks on Android Central were reporting that when they asked Google they were being told "in the coming weeks" they would get the update for N5.

 

Thought Google changed course on that and was saying everyone would get it on 11/3?

Google said it would be released on the 3rd, but that doesn't necessarily mean all devices. The Nexus 9 has launched with L so I guess that means the rollout has started. Of course that doesn't help us! ????

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
