[KIN Two Software Development] GrandSportX:
Eh, no brick here. I tried it on my 2m. Calculated the hex key, entered it into the phone, it said stored and that it required a reboot. I exited the ##programnitt menu, then phone rebooted.

Nothing appears different. Bitpim still has access to the same folders.

On a side note, RevSkills is a crazy program! John, have you used any of these other tools? on a kin or other phone?
[KIN Two Software Development] zero2duo:
seconded, just got my authentication key and entered it, and phone still works. Now if only it actually triggered/done something in our favor.
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
I tested all the tools, all the programs i could run on a virtual and normal machine long time before developping KinO.

"Nothing to see here" is always the answer. The phone memory couldnt be readed with this programs, and nothing access the phone, apart the cdma data, which is like meh for me (no cdma usage for the settings). As even SPST uses MTP driver for firmware (not the COM port driver), i guess all feasible with com ports is just cdma settings.

Also you can write something that mess your phone and that things....

Maybe other users from this forum (whole xda) know what's this for in cdma phones. I got any comunications knowledge, apart the network software needed for me.
[KIN Two Software Development] ishbar:
me= noob post

heyyo so i tried this but rev skills keeps crashing when i tell it to read ( i set it com3 which is where bitpim and my compy say the phone is) and sad face taht it doesnt change anything has anyone looked at the logs after entering the key?
[KIN Two Software Development] ishbar:
edit nm my compy worked the kin screen needs to be on
[KIN Two Software Development] ishbar:
so i entered the key last night and somehowmy phone can send or receive messages or calls... so i restored it adn now it works. also a red light appeared where the light sensor is...
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
That was always there for me during boot time. It just flashes for a little time, anyway.

It's extrange that only 1 reported it. If it's a common issue, i will change the advice to a bigger one, so you could know before messing things up.
[KIN Two Software Development] zero2duo:
Did you mean that "you cannot make phone calls or receive them when you entered the key"?

Weird thing (pretty sure it isn't because I entered the Authentication Key), my bro activated his HTC Thunderbolt yesterday and when I try calling him, after 2 rings, I then hear a voice that says "welcome to verizon, but the number you are dialing cannot be reached". My calls to him don't go through, but he can call me. I am thinking it is because I had blocked all the data services (thru My Verizon except for the Pic/Txt MMS) and since the Thunderbolt is a smartphone, I cannot make calls to it.

So I unchecked "blocked all data", and will try to call my bro's phone again once I officially get an email from verizon stating that my features that been updated. I will also call up Verizon later today and ask them what's up.
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
If it was both things, i would really think about the Auth change, but receiving/calling separately OK is pretty much weird.

I would call to a home number or another number, if any. Dunno how 3g/cdma works to call another phone and if it's data or normal usage.
[KIN Two Software Development] zero2duo:
Just tried calling other family members cells and house number, and I still get the "welcome to verizon, but we're sorry, we cannot authenticate your phone right now".

So I think it's safe to say that entering the A-Key did this. I went back to the hidden menu, and tried to "disable" the Authentication Key, but it just asks me to enter it and nothing more.

Any ideas to "disable" the Authentication Key? Besides this

Clear Storage memory (reset phone)

* Hold C+B+ Power

* Prints a Phone image (and reboots)

Hate to have to re-enter my contacts again.

Update: did the Clear command, tried calling, and still get that "welcome to verizon, but we're sorry, we cannot authenticate your phone right now" msg. Gonna call verizon; hopefully it's an easy fix on their end and I won't need to get a new phone.
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
I updated the first post, so the user knows what could happen. I don't see the point of the authentication then. Unless it dissengages you from verizon, but receiving must be done withing a mobile network, so all it's pretty much weird.

Try to export your contacts from the submenu, so you can download the xml and, at least have the ones you had previously to a CB operation. You can try to reupload it with kino and try to import after rebooting. Nothing is assured but worths a try (at least the export part is feasible).

I'm sorry about the CB requirement, but that's expected when playing with unknown things in a production phone.

As this could change things, and i dont loose anything, i will check what the changes are in the logs files (like "skipping verizon connection" messages).
[KIN Two Software Development] zero2duo:
OK just called verizon (20-25 min chat), after the 1st rep couldn't fix it, she found a tech who could. Basically, he said that their billing system saw two instances of my number (they were saying maybe when I activated my Kin, that I had my old phone on and that caused the problem...we know what caused it though), so he refreshed the system. Then had me re-activate my Kin via *228. Then after rebooting phone, outgoing and incoming calls work...also txt msg does too.

Before doing the Clearing button command, exported contacts to my laptop. Then after phone was working again, tried importing it back in but got this error msg "can't import contacts right now because there is non-compliant XML in the contacts file". Guess I will just go to a verizon store and get it transferred from the old phone.

Here's a little summary of everything john (if you wanna put this info in the 1st post):

calls out to ppl, i hear this "welcome to verizon, but we're sorry, we cannot authenticate your phone right now".

calls coming in, ppl calling go straight to voicemail...and i get a miss call on my end

just had a 20-30 min chat with verizon....got it sorted out, phone works again

turns out there system saw my old and new phones "active", so system was like "this phone number shows up twice" and then just put a block on the number

after the guy refreshed the system, phone works again
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
Great to hear about the solving procedure being done. Then the menu and the option would probably be a manual introduction into the verizon network, as you would do for entering the company from others (Sprint maybe?). I guess that's done auto on their side, but this menu allows you to do it too.

I dunno why you all get the contacts error. As i just imported the xml from klamation ok.Maybe yours has more data than "name, phone number" values.

i will export my full one and see what happens, when i'm a little ... less bored so i can reboot several times hehehe.

PS: quoted on first post.
[KIN Two Software Development] zero2duo:
I was able to successfully upload the contact file from klamation (got 215 of those BOB contacts). Then I renamed my "contacts.export" file to "cellebrite.contacts.xml", also removed my own name/contact from it, and still get the error when trying to import. It could be the case that I have extra junk for some contacts (have some work and home numbers, also maybe added some values in the "notes" field/tag. What I will try tonight, edit my contacts file so that its just the Name and Mobile tags that are present and retry importing that.
[KIN Two Software Development] zero2duo:
After many trial and error attempts at importing my contact list, it finally worked once I gave a LastName tag and value for the contacts that I previously only had FirstName (some of my contacts, I only had first names since a last name wasn't necessary for me to remember them).

So from my testing, you need both FirstName and LastName tags, and at least one character for a valid value and then the import will work.
[KIN Two Software Development] ishbar:
hey so to fix the error take it to verison and they try 228 and fail then they reauthenticate the phone after looking at you werid for a while... and it runs!
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
Hummm, that would be great if we had microsoft pme xml schema. So you can check the xml validation against the file, before uploading to the kin.

if it wasn't after a reboot... would rock for putting contacts in the kin ;).

i guess that i will create a schema for us based on what you said, it's so small that doesnt even worth a tool to parse it hehehehe.
[KIN Two Software Development] labsONE:
Guys, hate to be two months out of it here, but this is not a "problem" barring you from the Kin's software and this shouldn't be changed unless you know what you're doing or your operator has given you a new key.

You're editing the phone's CDMA authentication key (Akey) used to verify your ESN (electronic serial number) and MIN (mobile identification number) on the network.

Because you change it, you get a "... we're sorry, but we're unable to authenticate your phone" message from Verizon.

So... erm, don't change it unless you want to lose cell service until the proper key gets reloaded (try *228).
[Kyocera Zio M6000] loustu:
i'v rooted my phone, now trying to activate stagefright..i used blade buddy, but didn't seem to do the trick. i've tried writing in true with several different apps but it telling me can not write file : /sytem/ built.prop. cannot someone help??
[Kyocera Zio M6000] jchapel:
Using blade buddy did you do a menu > save?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] loustu:
yeah, but when i go back to the system folder build.prop it still says false.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
Use Root Explorer or whatever file manager you use with R/W access and then manually edit the build.prop and reboot.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] loustu:
i've used antek file explorer and es file explorer and a couple other ones, but neither let it r/w. could it be because of the busybox version i'm using??
[Kyocera Zio M6000] loustu:
how do i know which version of busybox i need to be using. i'm still using the stock rom. havent flashed to openzio rom yet..afraid to brick my phone, being a noob and all lol.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
Busybox is part of superuser permissions or root. Download the Busy Box Installer from Mr. Steine Ericcson(prolly messed up his name spelling). I'm using the latest "unstable" version with no problems. Busybox version isn't going to matter for R/W access. Are you sure you're rooted? You can't get R/W access without root.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] loustu:
i'm rooted using Z4root...using busybox installer from the market, v1.19. ive re-rooted to make sure i am. is there another way to root this phone??
[Kyocera Zio M6000] loustu:
i checked root access and it says "alternate su binary location: /sbin/su: permission denied". does that have something to do with it??
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
Yeah that may have something to do with it. I wrote the below before I saw the permission denied.

Sounds rooted to me. You need to get a file manager with R/W access. Then get it on R/W and manually edit the file. Everything I've ever used that changed stagefright was a shaky app at best. As more time goes by, manually editing it thru whatever means is always the best choice. Apps take up space and really don't save that much time. This includes any other settings you want to play with. Editing yourself and rebooting is always the most assured way of success.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
This post belonged in the Stagefright Thread Stickied to the top of the forum, by the way. And if you would have read the Stagefright thread you would have seen everything I'm telling you now, there. Just for future reference. There was no reason for this thread.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
I would unroot with z4 and try Universal Androot or Super One Click.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] loustu:
so i guess root explorer is the only way to go..cause the other apps ive used seem to have r/w properties but still dont work. well thanks for the help, i'll have to buy root explorer i guess..by the way, where to i find the busy box installer you mentioned??

i'm really new to this..sorry for wasting a thread. thanks for all the help anyway
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
Anything that has R/W access should work. If the R/W isn't working your root is messed up. So I would suggest unrooting it and rerooting it again with something else or even trying again. Let me see what Mattix or someone says about your error.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] loustu:
sweet..thanks. if nothing else, i'll just re-root with universal androot or super one-click. the phone seems to running pretty good, but when i play angry birds, it lags really bad..to the point that its almost unplayable. i get between 720-740 when i benchmark with Antutu.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] loustu:
so i re-rooted with universal androot, and still not getting permission to edit system files, namely stagefright. it either says you do not have permission to edit file..or cannot write system file build.prop what am i doing wrong or do i need something else to do this?? i'm using antek file explorer, could that be the problem??
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Just install the latest OpenZio ROM release -- I have defaulted stagefright to "off" to address an issue with certain ringtones not showing up in tone selection.
[Epic 4G Themes] ZiggSVO:
Hey guys!

Just compiled my first boot animations!

STANDARD DISCLAIMER:

If anything happens other than this working it's not my fault

Second Disclaimer: You need to be running a kernel that supports bootanimation.zip You also need to be running Froyo since I don't think any of the Gingerbread leaks support bootanimation.zips

Sorry for any confusion caused on my part.

Want to say thanks to the 3 communities I visit daily XDA, AC, and AF as they are filled with an abundance of info that I was able to read through and learn from!

Thanks goes out to qbking77 for the videos and jkrough0728 for the .gifs!! you guys are great!

With that note, check the videos for instructions on how to flash them and to see what they look like on the phone.

See Post #2 for .gif previews if videos aren't your thing!

Now, boot animations are fun to make, but take a bunch of trial and error. :)

This zips includes the boot animation but no sound. I couldn't get the sound to match just right and didn't want to put my name on it if I didn't feel it was just right ;)

I'm sure many will mention the size of them, they aren't small as the images are mostly high res!! Sorry its so big but like someone told me "it is what it is" and I like it :)

So flash it, if you like it great, if not then just reflash another one and give me feedback :)

Let me kno if you have any issues.

Instructions​

1. Download zip and place it on your SD card.

2. Reboot the phone into clockwork.

3. Flash the zip (you don't need to wipe or anything)

4. Reboot the phone

5. Enjoy!

6. Come back and give some feed back

:)

lol not a problem :)

I've been bouncing around trying to decide what I wanted to get my dirty little android hands into and boot animations are always fun to flash so I was like lets make one lol

Thus ensued my week long adventure on the do's and don'ts of it lol

So did you actually flash it?

if so did it run ok?
[Epic 4G Themes] shane6374:
I'll check it out tonight and give you some feedback. You've def earned that for all the help you've given me over the past few weeks.
[Epic 4G Themes] qbking77:
Nice work ;)
[Epic 4G Themes] ZiggSVO:
Fixed link...I think lol
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:

[Epic 4G Themes] djnarcotics:
any chance at a working GOW version for EE03 Roms ?
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
We wont be able to until the official release comes out and a custom ROM is made that supports it. Right now, EE03 is stock and doesn't support system/media/bootanimation
[Epic 4G Themes] djnarcotics:
i was wondering since i see the boot animation in system and media but when i ever i replaced it it wouldnt change it
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
Ya, the stock samsung software is weird and they coded it differently. I wish it was that easy but we have to wait for the community ROM/Kernel devs to get it working but they always have so far and do a great job so I know they will!

I will be patiently waiting lol
[Epic 4G Themes] ZiggSVO:
is it that .qmg file crap?
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
Yep! I hate it!
[Epic 4G Themes] SpartanG087:
Is there anyway to get this to work on a Dinc? I think can can zip just the bootanimation.zip from KOTOR_v1.9.zip and use root explorer to place it in my /system/customize/resource folder where my other custom bootanimation.zip is, but i just don't have enough space. So when I do that I just get a silver (ANDROID) as my boot animation.
[Epic 4G Themes] ZiggSVO:
Pm sent
[Epic 4G Themes] im.nick.hello:
thanks man great boot animation

ive been playing so much gears 3 and this is a perfect boot animation

im on a evo shift, i extracted the file for v1 and grabbed the bootanimation.zip out of that and put that in my system/media and it works perfectly

thanks again im going to do the same with v2 now!

Hey guys, as my title says.

I'm trying to reactivate my G1 after letting it sit for about a year.

I decided to restore everything and I'm trying to use my friends BB sim card with data to activate it, but it says it cannot get a stable or reliable connection.

Any help?

Complied cifs.ko and slow-work.ko

2.3.4 I9100-XXKG2-CIFS.zip

2.3.3 cifs-for-GT-I9100.zip

1. get the SHW-M250L kernel source from OSRC.

https://opensource.samsung.com/

2. copy files to fs/cifs folder.

kernel/slow-work.c

kernel/slow-work.h

3. add below codes to top of fs/cifs/slow-work.c (in kernel/timer.c)

static unsigned long round_jiffies_common(unsigned long j, int cpu,
bool force_up)
{
int rem;
unsigned long original = j;

rem = j % HZ;

/*

return original;
return j;
}

unsigned long round_jiffies(unsigned long j)
{

4. edit fs/cifs/Makefile

obj-$(CONFIG_CIFS) += cifs.o slow-work.o

5. make menuconfig

6. make modules

7. put files to your phone.

insmod cifs.ko

Done! Enjoy!
