[Acer Iconia A500] xda-dev2k:
hi everyone, some days ago I installed the virtuous 1.6, than replaced with a rooted stock 3.1. Since then, when I disconnect from my wifi for a while, getting far away from my router, it happens that coming back into the wifi field the tablet tries to reconnect but after 4 or 5 times it stops trying and tells me the connection is disabled. I see the dhcp service bouncing, no ip assigned. The only solution I've found googlin' around is to rename/delete the file dhcpcd-wlan0.lease in /data/misc/dhcp. It worked. but the issue got back again and again. I wanted to find out the cause and solve the problem once and forever, if possible. It's a pain in the... you know:(
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
Here is my topic. There is also one solution to it apart from the one you've found in google (which was probably my topic anyway :) ).
[Acer Iconia A500] xda-dev2k:
You're right, it'was your post. I've read it againg but I can't find out which could be the alternatrive solution. Keep in mind that when I got this wrong behaviour the first time obviously I invesitgated the possible causes, and I discovered the inability to retrieve a dhcp IP address either with my wifi router, with my wifi access point 3g and with a tethered connection via Iphone (all of them I normally use when I'm not at office). None of these would work until the uplisted file deletion). Would you be so kind as to suggest me, if you can, the possible solution in more detail (apart from performing a global reset that would be as annoying than deleting the file)

In any case, many tnx for your answer
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
Currently the common solution is to abandon the leaked 3.1 rom or put up with the bug.

Manually setting DHCP also works but it's usefull only if you'll use the tablet on one wifi. Else it's just a big pain in the arse.
[Acer Iconia A500] dj898:
I have same issue with the stock 3.1 rom.

At the end what I did was manually assign IP address for my iPhone's MyWi connection.

It seems mine has no trouble to connect to my home wi-fi network as well as work...
[Acer Iconia A500] ardatdat:
I also get that problem. But now, seems to have fixed it. I have done the followings:

- delete the dhcp lease file

- change the channel of my wifi router to 9 or below

- download the ad-hoc supported wpa_supplicant

Please try if above help you

hi

I have Hyperdroid v12 on my HD2, but the GPS don't work. it is just searching. do i have to change some settings when i live in Denmark?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] syrelyre:
i can, sadly, confirm this :( however, sometimes it works when you let it search for 15min+
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] j4n87:
In general the gps is working for the hd2.

It only lacks of agps support, follow the development thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1100114

Explanation of what agps is, if you don't already know:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS

-> if apgs would work for our hd2s, a fix should not take longer than 10-20 seconds

Without agps I can get a fix in 1-3 minutes, therefore you should have the right timeserver in your gps conf:

- browse with an file explorer to /etc/gps.conf

the first line should be europe for your country:

Hi to all! Sorry for my bad english!

I have a big problem with my Magic 32A. It can't boot (it stay on the splash screen when I try to boot), it can only go in fastboot and stock recovery. I have this words in bootloader:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-2.22.28.25

Oct 21 2009, 22:33:27

FASTBOOT

<VOL DOWN> HBoot Mode

<SEND> Reset Device

<ACTION> Restart to HBoot

<MENU> Power Down

When I try to flash the engineering spl or a custom recovery or only boot into a custom recovery, it give always the same error:

"REMOTE: NOT ALLOW"

I read that someone used a goldcard but i don't now what is it and however I can't do one because I can't use any ADB commands (phone doesn't boot).

I read also that to solve my problem you need to know the version-main and the CID; these are mine:

version-main: 1.88.531.1

CID:TIM__401

So I can't do anything (the fastboot commands don't work because they give me the error remote:not allow) and I'm disperate! I hope someone will help me...Please write in this thread only if you can help me

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Yo... got your pm.

It's always better to search or start a new thread... this way, my help is visible to everybody and all can benefit from it. All help over pm is lost and is a shame if anybody else is in the same problem.

The fix:

Download this file:https://rapidshare.com/files/191906182/2.15.901.4.zip

Download my fastboot commander tool found in my signature (not the magic version)

Using the tool, flash the file using the "Full zip" tab and do so inside fastboot mode.

It can take some time to finish....

Once done you should be back to stock 2.15.901.4 TIM Italy rom.

From there, follow my root guide which is found in my signature...

Good luck
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] federicolandra:

[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
Hi devs, I have idea for MAC reading. First, I know real MAC is located in SPL (I know this becouse I'm tried), I'm tried to read MAC from kernel side but problem is reading SPL becouse board-photon.h have defined:

#define MSM_MEM1_BASE 0x00000000
#define MSM_LINUX_BASE_OFFSET 0x00200000
#define MSM_PHOTON_LINUX1_BASE (MSM_MEM1_BASE + MSM_LINUX_BASE_OFFSET) /* 2MB alignment */
#define MSM_PHOTON_LINUX1_SIZE (MSM_MEM1_SIZE - MSM_LINUX_BASE_OFFSET)

SPL have size of 0x80000 and we skipped it. My idea is:

- patch haret to copy some SPL addreses (addrese where is wifi nvs ram) to another memory location

- read these location from kernel side

or

- edit kernel code to read this location or edit kernel to copy SPL to an memory location

What you think? Maybe you have idea how to read SPL?
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
i think there is solutions easier than SPL to get MAC addr :)
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
real mac == winMo?
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
i have an idea, but not tested yet:

simply remove "macaddr=00:11:22:33:44:55\n" from htc_wifi_nvs.c

recompile

it should work now

(my guess is the driver already read the good address, but we overwrite it with bad value)
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
No, I'm tried without static nvs! Only sense I think is reading these nvs from memory, but if we want to read this we must have access to first 0x80000 bytes (SPL), or maybe adding kernel code (command line parameter), or maybe DEX call (I dont know if is possible)

See picture, you will see where is nvs in spl, also you will see we have defined static_nvs diferent than nvs in spl!
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
you're totaly right.

and htc_wifi_nvs.c for liberty is extracting the NVS from bootloader.

i think the address we have is wrong:

This is the address for Liberty:

For our bootloader, it must be different. i'll investigate.
[HD Mini Android Development] pietje63:
Is the MAC in startup.txt used by Android?

If that is the case, may it is more easy to write a WinMo app that adjusts the startup.txt with the MAC know by WinMo.

Or is that to easy?
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
I think is not from bootloader becouse liberty bootloader start at 0x0 and is size < 1M, but ok, good thing is - you understand me, and I thk you for it!:)

We need to read:

- start at 0x65720

- read 0x239 bute
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
thanks, but what address do you dump? (0x65720 is only the offset)

how do you create this memory dump?
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
I showed you how I do it, but you're not ...attention to my post. I'll tell you, unlike you who is hiding information:)

see this link how I dump memmory.

976 // cardsharing smem dump
977 /*int i;
978 int x[1000];
979 printk("Battery hex smem dump: ");
980 for (i=0; i<1000; i++)
981 {
982 x[i] = readl(MSM_SHARED_RAM_BASE + 0xfc000 + i) & 0x000000ff;
983 printk("%02x", x[i]);
984 }
985 printk("\n");*/

Problem is: we not have access to spl!
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
Maybe from this way:

msm_nand_read: 65720 239

msm_nand_read(struct mtd_info *mtd, loff_t from, size_t len,
size_t *retlen, u_char *buf)
{
int ret;
struct mtd_oob_ops ops;

/* printk("msm_nand_read %llx %x\n", from, len); */

ops.mode = MTD_OOB_PLACE;
ops.len = len;
ops.retlen = 0;
ops.ooblen = 0;
ops.datbuf = buf;
ops.oobbuf = NULL;
ret = msm_nand_read_oob(mtd, from, &ops);
*retlen = ops.retlen;
return ret;
}

return wifi_nvs;

What you think?
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
first 0x80000 bytes of what? memory?

how did you generated this picture?

i mean, what address did you used?
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
yes, of memory

haret: pwf spl.dump 0x0 0x80000

Program used to read spl.dump is: X&D hex editor

Program used to screen capture is: FastStone Capture

From kernel side I'm tried to dump android memory (spl from 0x0 len 0x80000), but without success, I think is not possible in this time, we need modifications to do that!
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
oook i got it!

physical address = 0x65720

thats sounds easy!

and you cannot dump memory like this under Linux, it uses virtual address!!!
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
ok, good if is easy! Please report here if you got it and how you got it, I need that knownledge for my future development, ok?
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
under android, when i use this func: "phys_to_virt(0x65720)" it gives me this virtual address: 0xbfe65720

unfortunately system crash when i try to access it.

there must be another way...
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
maybe is empty virtual (or we not have permisions to read) becouse we skipped first 0x100000 (board_photon.h) from psychical, hmm I not understand why crashed? I'm also tried and also with crashing. If I'm right MSM_SHARED_RAM_BASE is psychical and other defined in board_photon.h is also psychical?
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
found by schlund:

https://gitorious.org/linux-on-winc...ter/arch/arm/mach-msm/board-htcleo-wifi-nvs.c

on HTC Leo, they read SMEM and can retrieve MAC addr, it is encrypted by CRC32
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
good! But maybe we also need to change hardcoded_nvs bassed on picture. Are you got mac from smem after crc decode? I've not tried to read
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
actually it's not the real MAC addr, its a random one :D

regarding the real NVS data from hardware:

- either the bootloader memory has a special protection

- either we are using the wrong RAM virtual address

- either we dont have the good access method
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
maybe you reading wrong adresse to get mac (you got random!)...I will try to find from loop trough crc decode-whole_hex_dump my mac last 3 numbers!
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
i found a way to read the SPL from android!

i have the MAC addr \o/
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
\o/ :D

:eek: how, please explain
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
memory mapping. schlund is expert at this.

we even do better than HD2 devs, they use random MAC addr :-D

src will soon be updated.
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
That is good!

I have lightsensor initialised (not know how to test) and some updates if you want to see:
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
bad news:

the MAC addr found in SPL is similar for every phone.

it is not the same you got in windows

:-(
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
I have good news \o/, I found my real mac in spl! See picture:

Hello all,

First post, so the change that this maybe a newbie question is pretty high

I tried the KF3 frankenstein firmware in the other thread (Arabic version) and it doesn't work for me because I require some languages not included there.

My question, since Optus AU also has a KF3 firmware, has anyone tried combining the KF3 PDA of Optus AU, any phone (could be the same from Optus AU) and the CSC phone you wish to use it on (my case: XEUKD1)?

Is it as simple as selecting the three separate files in Odin and hoping for the best? or should carrier firmwares not be mixed with non-carrier firmwares?

Thanks :)

[LG Optimus 2x] teju85:
Hi xda-devs,

I recently bought LG O2X and modded it with CM7 :). Here's the issue I'm seeing: Trying to do a HD video playback using HDMI mirroring, the frames get skipped in the HDMI screen. However, the HDMI mirroring works just perfect in all other cases.

Lemme explain this issue in detail...

On LG's stock ROM:

1. Connect HD cable to a HDMI TV and play a HD video.

2. phones' screen (primary display) will be disabled and the video is played only on the HDMI screen. (secondary display)

On CM7 ROM:

1. Connect HD cable to a HDMI TV and play a HD video.

2. It tries to display the video on both primary and secondary screens!

3. Hence, some of the frames will be skipped on the secondary screen (but not on primary), thereby causing a bad experience with video playback.

Does anyone know of a fix to this?

(I 'think' the solution here is to just disable the primary screen while performing a video playback and enable it back when the video playback is finished?)

Thanks in advance!
