[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
Hi. ATTENTION DEVS.

all I have known about this possiable way hack are phone so we can fash kernels but my labtop is not working so if you know how to do this I will test I feel very confident it will work.
[Milestone XT720 General] brianlili:
Have you do the hardware modification? That is the key of using another bootloader.

Hardware modification, could be easy, could be very hard, or maybe it it not possble because of the pin layout not in buttom or top side of PCB.

This this must be done first.
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
This will be possiable very hard to do I do have extra xt will be trying this on.

How to modify hardware this what I need to know.

I'm not jumping into this will take a long time.

I will be doing on xt720mod sbf.

Can someone point me to a 2.1 xt701 sbf so I can start this process. Thanks
[Milestone XT720 General] easye420:
Do you happen to know which pins or have a diagram of the PCB. I really want to try it, but can't find info other then what I found a while ago and have since lost. I'm a certified solderer and really wanna give this a go.
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
Hi easye420

I don't know that about pins darn.

Look for 5hours can't even find xt701 sbf.

Been looking for that article about the pin but can't find it.

Nice to here from you.
[Milestone XT720 General] easye420:
Yea I still linger around. :) I don't really play with the XT much anymore since I got the nexus s so why not try it out right. I read an something about it for original milestone. It turns the phone into a developer phone by disabling the security check. I just don't know where I read it. Someone gave me a link to an irc chat with them talking about it. But it was super long and I just skimmed it and didn't see much about it.

EDIT: And for your xt701 sbfs go to modmymobile forums I'm pretty sure they have them over there.
[Milestone XT720 General] brianlili:
I read the origin page in and-develpers, It seeems hardware modification is only a mehod of those methodes, that means, maybe you can get it done just flash the mbmloader.

---------- Post added at 10:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

Also I found this in TI's website, that means these pins cann't be modified.(not sure it is mean in 3440 yet)

[HTC Desire S] fautorr:
Good day,

after 3 month of being mine, the Desire S's power (or wake/sleep) button started to need more force (power) to be pressed. The perfect "click" feedback under my finger disappeared too. I had the same feeling, like there would be a particle under the button of laptop's keyboard, or something like that, if you know what I mean. It happened once, I flicked it with a finger and it got better. The last time it stayed temporarily. I decided to disassemble the phone to check, whether it is a dust or a particle indeed. But it wasn't. The worst of all, the button is located on the mainboard (well, this is what I saw, it would be great, if it were not, correct me, if I'm wrong).I assembled the phone again, after moving the button a little, trying to make it be easier to press. Now the question: Are there same situations among you, dear members, any chances to fix it or to buy a new motherboard? Or should I just wait, until it stops pressing and change the phone? I like it very much. Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] Costinutz32:
this happens when the phone's power button is "abused" if you understand me.........idk you can try putting a small bob of sillicone betwen the plastic button and the one on the mainboard to keep them sticked togheder.....don t use glue or something else cuz it will damage your phone's mainboard.HOPE I HELPED!
[HTC Desire S] fautorr:
Tank you for your reply.

The worst of all is, that the contact between the button from outside and the one which is on a mainboard is fine. I'm afraid, the button on the mainboard is worn out....
[HTC Desire S] Costinutz32:
I am sorry to hear that......you can try going to a gsm service and replace that button or replace the phone's mainboard.
[HTC Desire S] fautorr:
Yes, I'm afraid, this will be the only solution. Except of one idea. I'm going to try it now. If it'll work, I'll post the instruction to solve it. And by the way, excuse me for the bad English:)
[HTC Desire S] fautorr:
Guess what??:) I´ve repaired it!!!! It works great, the "click" feeling is back and the button needs less force to be pressed now. Just like it was at the beginning! If someone needs the instruction, how it had worked for me, here you go, but first, I'll try to explain, what was the reason of this symptom.

The button on the motherboard has a form of a russian letter " Г ". The problem was, the upper (horizontal) part of this button (it may actually be called lever, cz it looks rather like lever)was broken. After it was broken, it looked like an english letter " I ". Surely, the silicone bob, which was fixed on the button outside wasn't enough any more, to press the lever on the motherboard. Also, the broken part of the lever, which stayed, got sharp and it cut in the silicone bob while pressing a button. So this is how I fixed it:

- I disassembled the phone first (there are several videos on YouTube, how it has to be done, but be very careful- Warranty will avoid and you may destroy your good phone). If you have a trouble like this, still having a warranty, you shouldn't even try to fix it on your own. Contact your dealer, please.

- then I picked out the power button, which is from metal, by the way

- the little silicone bob had to be cut away, because it was too small to press the lever on the mainboard. The reason could differ from mine, maybe it just worn out on your phone.

- after that I glued a tiny piece of my bicycle's brake shoe. It has to be small enough to fit there, but in the same time, it has to be bigger, than the one which was already there. The material seemed to be fine for that, because it is softer than plastic and less soft that a silicon. To create the click feeling by pressing the button, I had to pick something harder than the silicone.

- Certainly,everything depends on the size of this tiny little piece, which supplies the contact while pressing the button. You probably will have to cut couple of them, or correct the one, until it fits right. The thickness of my bob had to be aprox. 0,5 mm. After assembling the phone, it worked perfectly. I'm sure it will hold quite long, because the material of the brake shoe is known as something made for... emmm.... made to hold quite long:)

Maybe absolutely crazy solution, but it worked! May work for someone else. Welcome, if I did help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NoEnd:
Dears,

I found many methods to patch android to connect to ad-hoc networks,

method 1:

Manually configure the wpa_supplican in this way

http://www.olsr.org/?q=olsr_on_android

but this method is for Galaxy S and cant apply it on Galaxy Nexus or ICS devices.

method 2:

to patch wpa_supplican

removes the [IBSS] flag from scan results,

masquerades and demasquerades ad-hoc ssid with (*) prefix

sets mode 1 (ad-hoc) if the ssid is for IBSS

permits the supplicant to select an IBSS when associating to a given ssid

and i don't know any of these as im not a developer but i need this function BADly.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chinopski:
+1 to this thread, i also need the adhoc features. hope the great devs here will give us hope :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bagl0312:
I also need this feature

Indeed I am in a hotel with cable only Internet and I would like to share my laptop connection with an adhoc wifi network but my galaxy nexus doesn't see the network.

I am instead connected with my asus transformer which sees the adhoc network, so some android device works
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] portis24:
Actually, the method1 you mentioned works perfectly.

I just tested it with a UbuntuAdhoc network on a ICS 4.0.3 ROM.

Just one remark,

it will fail when you run:

su -c "/system/bin/wpa_cli -p /data/misc/wifi/"

You have to modify as:

su -c "/system/bin/wpa_cli -u"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jeant:
Hy all, so this is reported working on ICS ???

I tried by myself on my Prime but I'm not good enough to do it ( yeah I know I'm a leecher...)

IF A DEV COULD please make a patch would be great ;-)

Best regards

:p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] psymont:
Can somebody confirm whether or not this will work on an Asus Transformer Prime thats been updated to ICS?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Lock-N-Load:
So wait.. you started a whole thread about ad hoc under ICS BUT (1) just posted info already found elsewhere and (2) posted the first "fix" but yet it cannot work under ICS despite this thread having an ICS title and (3) mention wpa_supplicant files and nothing about how to edit them or the fact ICS has 2 wpa_supplicant files.

fail.

[HTC EVO 3D] BatOnlyRC:
Hello everyone, how is it going?

I am seeing too many CDMA versions of EVO 3D and i just wondered what are the differences GSM version and CDMA version. Their software is different, sense 3 is different, its writing HD IMAGE under CDMA's camera and i think there are many...

Can you tell me the differences detailed?

Thanks from now.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bebida:
CDMA handsets don't use Sim cards I believe and are 4G enabled so the software to run them is different GSM are sim based and run on the 2g (gsm) and 3g (WCDMA) network. This is why the dev bases are different.
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
Hardware difference. Tmobile and ATT are gsm and Verizon and sprint are cdma. And so on and so on. U can not use a gsm device on a cdma network or vice versa
[HTC EVO 3D] BatOnlyRC:
Hmm... So there is no difference about hardware?

Can't we flash cdma Rom to GSM version? Because I think CDMA 's software(sense 3 is better, smoother) is much more beautiful

Is there anyone used both of them, GSM version and CDMA version of EVO ?
[HTC EVO 3D] Bebida:
Afraid not I don't know a massive amount but I know if u flash a cdma ROM on gsm u will brick your device. I believe the hardware is different to run in the different networks.
[HTC EVO 3D] BatOnlyRC:
I am searching on a Rom have cdma effects with gsm compatible. Hard but I hope I find it :)

Thanks much friends
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
Joelz Prime xl ROM can be run on either cdma or gsm. So can the warm 2.3 nightly versions (not rls1) only the nightlies.

Sent from my Warmed up Shooter
[HTC EVO 3D] BatOnlyRC:
Did you use that rom? Do you recommend it my friend?
[HTC EVO 3D] Bebida:
There's another cdma/gms ROM in gsm thread now posted by aamikam. FYI
[HTC EVO 3D] BatOnlyRC:
Do that roms have sense ?

I think rom without sense looks bad in a htc.

Yes mate sense 3.5.

Ok, thanks my friend. Don't forget to check my video about my lag issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martouf13:
Has anyone else noticed that the Nexus is really picky when it comes to USB cables. My previous phones would work with any USB cable I used with it but this phone only works on about half of the cables I have. What gives?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterEdF:
I'm using 79 cent cables from Monoprice without any problem. I have about four different length ones and all are fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrendm:
HTC, Samsung and 2x short <1m cheapo cables all work fine.

However another cheapo >1m cable doesn't work which is a shame
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joebroni:
I noticed the other day, that my wife's LG Revolution charger/cable doesn't work at all on this phone. But the Motorola DROID charger/cable I use at work gives no problems. The off-brand car charger works just fine as well.

My wife's LG stuff is 5.1v but only 0.7ma. So a bit weaker charging rate, but the same voltage. Who knows.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martouf13:
I talked to a friend of mine and i guess it has to do with the USB cable specs. Each company designates which specs their phones will be able to use. Looks like Samsung went half-ass on that part of it. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] refthemc:
My Blackberry, HTC, and Monoprice micro USB cables are working fine here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] staticx57:
I use the USB cable that came with my Touchpad as its long and it fits with the verizon case on it. And of course I also use the cable that came with the phone but it helps to have multiple cables for multiple locations.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alsex87:
5 I've got around home, work, car and spares/old ones have all worked fine for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hellbringer626:
I've had major issues with cables/usb ports where I've never had issues with prior android phones. HTC Thunderbolt, Nexus One. My Galaxy nexus really doesn't like my front USB ports if I use a long cable (6ft), rather annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamHart612:
I have tried 7 or 8 old cables, and the only ones that work are the two that came with the phone. Extremely annoying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drmorbo:
After a convoluted process and many mishaps on my part (I bricked it) my phone has a working, rooted and stripped down version of 2.3.6 on it. Which works as intended except the screen is now grainy and the colors are over-saturated. (side note: unfortunately I did not do a backup of the stock firmware-stupid I know)

I'm guessing this is a driver issue with the firmware or gpu because the pictures I took before I tried getting cyanogen on my phone now look very pixelated; almost like one of those cheesy after effects. I tried updating the firmware and it said I was current. Is there a way to update drivers? Do I have to find the original firmware for my phone (I looked on here the forum with the huge list of branded and unbranded and was at a loss)?

Also in my endeavor to attain the cm7 I tried rom manager which never worked even after getting the pre-rooted firmware. It will let me download the new clockwork but it does not appear to flash it and any attempt to install or reboot to clockwork doesn't do anything (gives prompts, I say yes, nothing happens). As a result of following the cyanogen wiki twice it says I have two custom firmwares and I cannot get into clockwork at all. I could the first time through before I bricked it but now I can't. Is there a way to remove the extra kernel?

The only reason I have a working phone is because of Odin. Is there a way to use Odin to install cm7 and would that fix the display issues or am I better off finding the stock firmware and hoping the display will default back to working?

Thank you in advance,

noob

Branded? Unbranded?

There is only one variant of the I777 - AT&T Branded. Anything in the Development forum for the I777 will work on an I777.

It's not like the I9100 with a bunch of minor subvariants.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ioft:
Are you able to reboot the phone in recovery using ADB?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drmorbo:
Its gotten to the point where nothing I try works. I managed to get cm7 installed and it got stuck in a boot loop. Flashed back to the stripped down version again. Everything that could go wrong has. For now I just want to go back to whatever firmware came with my phone out of the box. The startup logo was at&t so I guess I'll go for the branded version (which I can't find on here--its almost 3 am I apologize for my idiocy) and hope the screen issue is resolved.

Thanks again

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Which you can't find? Someone posted the link to my return to stock guide in post #2 of this thread.

If you return to complete stock using Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to stock package, you will regain the AT&T boot logo instead of any custom boot logo. The phone will be just like it was when you first took it out of the box.

If you want the stock ROM plus root, Entropy has a package for that also. Just flash one of his packages with Odin, or use the One-Click downloaders for his package that are linked in my guides.

Update: You can also download all of these from my Download Repository.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drmorbo:
Okay so I did the return to stock without root one click and that went fine. However the display is still not working properly. Solid colors are fine and I even went into the debug screen and tested all the colors. They were brilliant but any dimming or shading of two colors just looks wrong. The only thing that I can think of is the bootloader is wrong. It says my phone is a I9100 which it isn't. However I'm not sure why a bootloader would affect the display. Does the I777 have a different initialization process for the gpu? Or is the issue somewhere else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
That might affect it but I highly doubt it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drmorbo:
So do you have any idea what could have caused it? I tried searching the forums but I couldn't find somebody with a similar problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Where exactly does it say your phone is I9100?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drmorbo:
It shows "Samsung galaxy s II I9100" before the at&t load screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
The return to stock did not complete correctly. This screen appears after flashing a non-stock kernel with Odin/Heimdall.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drmorbo:
Yes. The very first method I tried was the heimdall from the cyanogen wiki. I've used various methods without success. However the last effort was to restore the phone and I used the one click stock without root. Was it supposed to restore the bootloader? Also I updated ota and the display works much better. The remaining discoloration/pixelation could have been there all along as I didn't wait long to put cyanogen on it (1 day) and I have nothing to compare it to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
The return-to-stock-with-root shouldn't touch bootloaders - but it should have restored a stock kernel. IF you're getting the "yellow triangle" I9100 boot screen, the last thing flashed with Odin/Heimdall was NOT a stock kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drmorbo:
There is no yellow triangle. I used the exe from the link in the first response in this forum. In any case I'll throw a picture of the phone while turned off but charging tonight. The display issues aren't grave but they are noticeable and annoying. Do you know of an app that allows you adjust graphical/display settings? Maybe it would suffice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drmorbo:
I found information concerning my display issues. Apparently it's an issue with the phone. Its called black crush. My phone has this and oversaturated red. So shading details are pixelated and reddish.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1124669

Also I noticed people repeatedly mentioning screen modes under setting>displays however my phone does not have this option. Also all of the mentions have been under the forum for the regular version of the phone not the AT&T variant. Is the AT&T version missing this option or am I blind?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
AT&T version is missing screen tuning unless you run a custom ROM that readds it like Serendipity VIII or Unnamed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drmorbo:
Okay cool. So I used the one click with root and the wifi is broken and it won't let me do an OTA. however I had previously used the one click without root and I was able to OTA and that solved the broken wifi. What would be the easiest way to fix the wifi?

Flash cwm>factory restore/wipe (I don't have cwm and I remember the cyanogen wiki way to get cwm messed up my soft buttons--two didn't work anymore)

Or

Flash the 12/21 dd kernel (I did originally try this route. However Odin didn't recognize the kernel. I even repackaged I with just zImage. Still nothing.)

Thank You again Entropy

DrMorbo
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Sounds like there is something broken about the oneclick... Try flashing the return-to-stock package with Heimdall. Heimdall also lets you flash kernel zImages without packaging into a tar.

However Heimdall needs its own driver mojo on Windows - I can't really help you with this, I've flashed a device from Windows only once, and that was the Tab 10.1 because Heimdall won't talk to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drmorbo:
Nevermind. I tried the update a third time. It decided to work (48 hours later). Everything works. Wifi works. The screen is better (I used voodoo screen tuning to greatly diminish the black crush and red saturation. I can finally customize my phone now. Any nifty apps you know of Entropy? (Regular or root needed)

Thank you again Entropy,

Got a view for Christmas, was purchased on eBay. The squaretrade warranty is only 40 bucks (without accident damage) , was wondering if anyone here has had any luck with them, especially with rooted devices. I'm a little paranoid since I'm leaving my comfortable bubble of Samsung with this (we've got Odin to fall back on if we screw up), and that it's an eBay purchase as well. I'm definitely not the type to file a claim over software that I've screwed up (never had to with years of pc overclocking, phone modding etc) but I feel naked with no coverage at all.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rjohmit:
$40? I got my View on eBay and the SquareTrade warranty is $30. I'm still debating the warranty myself.

I'm not really concerned about it from a manufacturer standpoint...I'm pretty confident in HTC and the build quality of the device. The eBay part is what gives me pause.
