Still Confused!

I have read every post in this thread at least twice, and I still have no idea what to make of this software. Do I need it? Backups and recovery are entirely two different things, so why would I want the two merged? That in itself makes no sense to me, When I "reboot normally", I am on my home page. That is where I want to be when I reboot. This Dumlock thingie makes it so "when I reboot normally, [I'll] be in my recover? Why would I want to be in recovery when I want to be on my homepage? Also, if my recovery is flashed back to boot, then how do I retain a stock recovery? Stock recovery does not include boot, and when I screw up and need to restore my software from stock, I need stock recovery, not some sort of merged boot/recovery. Maybe this software is only meant for people who flash custom rome on a daily basis or something! Beats me!

The one or two times that I have tried to use this software, I followed the instructions up to the point where I am to give root privileges to HTC Dumlock. I did that and waited forever. It did not boot into recovery. I rebooted and then it went into recovery. I selected HTC Dumlock and then I am supposed to click on one of 2-3 items and nowhere does it tell me what I am supposed to do at that point.

I am on a Developers Edition of the HTC One (M7) rooted with SuperCid, S-Off and stock software 4.19.1540.9. I also am on a Mac running Mac OS X, v. 10.9.3. I have been on Android for just over a year, so please go easy on me. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Dvdxploitr:
All you had to do was S-OFF.....its really easy to do, I can go back and forth all I want from 1.58 to 1.40 and I do from time to time when I get stuck or a flash goes bad......I update to the official Sprint ICS JB ROM and then downgrade the HBOOT....the only tricky part is getting the timing on the Wire Trick....
[HTC EVO 3D] HideTheCookies:
this was way back in the beginning of development of this device , early 2012. thats probably why the thread was dead for that long. it has since been made obsolete with 4ext's smartflash for s-on users so if your s-off there is absolutely no use for this software its just a relic of a bygone era
[HTC EVO 3D] gingerlindsey:
Thank you for this explanation! Does make you wonder, though, why TWRP has not removed it from their software!
[HTC EVO 3D] HideTheCookies:
i suppose its for the few people that want to stay s-on but dont have 4ext recovery, with smartflash, for their device

Hi everyone, im noob here, tried to root my samsung sg2 today, was all excited but odin keeps crashing when i hit start button , anyone else have this problem? i'm using windows 7 on a brand new laptop that isnt even a week old, "home prem" if thats of any use. thanks for replies.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Woolf:
Mate, you're in the wrong forum. This is for sgs. Sgs2 has it's own - you'll likely get more specific help there.

You have installed samsung drivers?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audboi:
yeah ive got the latest version of kies installed, its all ok until i hit "start" in odin ,and then it just crashes, must try it on a different laptop
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daggi78:
Hi,

i think the problem is Kies. Kies starts with windows (background). Open taskmanager and look for kies, KiesPDLR & Kies TrayAgent. Kill all this processe and after it start Odin and try it again.

Good luck and sorry for my poor english.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audboi:
Hi, thanks for reply, I killed the kies process like you said, but i still get the same response from odin, this is so frustrating

[HTC Inspire 4G] kettir:
I've just run the No-sense script and got rid of Sense on my Inspire. So far so good. Now, I'm looking at remove HTC Hub, HTC Hub Sync Pro, and HTC Trends Widget. Can anyone tell me if removing these will cause any problems? Thanks for any help on this. I did a google but got inconclusive results.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wulamoc:
If only there were a couple of ways to back up the phone... nand if only there were a 'Stock' ROM with the bloatware removed...

"Causing problems" is a very vague term. Like some people consider not being able to update their phone via HTC an issue. Others consider not being able to use HTC Sync an issue. And yet some only consider it an issue when the phone is a hard brick (everything else is just fun and problem solving).

Perhaps the best route (Given all the conflicting information you seem to have found) is to backup the phone as best you can and then slowly root out (sorry) the bloatware over time until you run into something you consider an 'problem'

or just simply backup the phone and try the stock -bloat ROM (running the no-sense again)
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Erasing that shouldn't cause issues with your phone as you are now senseless, but just in case is always advisable to make a nandroid backup. You won't be able to sync now also because you have already erased sense out of your phone.

The best advice I can give you is to flash an AOSP Rom (such as CyanogemonMod or Absolution) that are non sense and are fast and stable instead...:cool:
[HTC Inspire 4G] tomburnes:
If you like sense, but not the HTC apps, you could give Revolution HD ROM a try.

[Vibrant General] Woody:
That would be sweet. Actually development is already started on the Transformer (tablet). Hopefully I can get it running on mine sometime soon.
[Vibrant General] jnusz:
I saw this earlier on Engadget... Would be pretty sweet if they can pull it off. This would definitely put a fire under the hardware manufacturers to push the envelope on things to provide for a smoother and smoother experience on the docked functionality.
[Vibrant General] cashmundy:
The only reason I use Android is that Debian doesn't run on my phone yet. Android is only really free software at the level of the Linux kernel. Above that, it rapidly shades from open-source to closed-source, with crass commercialism and data-harvesting on top. Beats the hell out of what ran on phones before, but hopefully it will be superseded by GNU/Linux with a telephony stack and touch UI.
[Vibrant General] jnusz:
From other articles I've read (would have to track them down again) it sounds like Canocial (backer of Ubuntu) is planning on releasing full out phone version, but if I remember right it wasn't until 2013 or 2014 (and unfortunately I think it was 2014)

That's about what I've heard. Ubuntu is working on a multi-touch UI for tablets and phones :

http://unity.ubuntu.com/projects/utouch/

But it will be a while before the first tablet releases, with phones coming later and our Vibrants probably never.
[Vibrant General] swehes:
I'm quite excited about this. However a requirement is a dual core processor, which our Vibrants are not. This may be the one thing that would push me to sell my Vibrant(s). We'll see.

TWRP on our EVO's :D

thanks so much, this looks so promising :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Formhault:
Tried to flash PG86IMG.zip via bootloader. "Model ID incorrect" or something. I'm S-OFF`ed (by Revolutionary, of course).

Tried to flash the .img via fastboot & it worked. I still miss 4EXT Touchcovery :( .

Thanks or this, though. Better than killing the volume buttons! :)

It's nice to see they didn't turn their backs to the GSM.

Charging bug

Thanks alot for this :D

edit:does it have a charging bug too?
[HTC EVO 3D] Formhault:
Sadly, yes.

RED LED lights on for 3 seconds, then goes on, so forth, so forth...

Back on CWM Revolutionary 4.0.1.4. With it, at least it's charging (RED LED lights up, then goes off for a couple of seconds, but then comes back up and doesn't dissapear anymore).
[HTC EVO 3D] m0fizor:
Try holding the camera button pressed while you plug the cable to the phone. It works for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] habitat22:
If I understand it right, the "HTC Dumlock" is for HTC unlocked bootloaders and with it you can install boot.img because the recovery.img is flashed a second time into boot? And this is only enabled after the installation of the Dumlock?

But with the S-OFF Revolutionary bootloader we can flash boot.img from recovery.

So S-OFF users can install the TWRP recovery without installing the Dumlock feature and everything will work? And it isn't flashed to the boot partition?
[HTC EVO 3D] kjames2001:
Yes, I guess you are right, at least that's how I understand it too.

I think most of us need after s-off is just a charging recovery!

But this will obviously benefit those with s-on. Thanks for the hard work tho!
[HTC EVO 3D] jamesclinton:
I think it does charge, the only problem is the red light keep blinking non stop when device is off and no red lights on when in recovery and the battery stays 66% :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] phantom5:
can u make some pictures? please.
[HTC EVO 3D] Dees_Troy:
There's now a universal version of HTC Dumlock that uses installable zips that should work with any recovery!
[HTC EVO 3D] jamesclinton:
Thank you for all your effort but i think it will be very nice of you if you can tell us a bit more abt the charging bug.

THANKS IN ADV
[HTC EVO 3D] helicopter88:
Charging doesn't work due to HTC loving closed source things..

I've been playing a bit with recovery,if there's something relevant will post..
[HTC EVO 3D] Dees_Troy:
Charging & battery percentage are fixed thanks to helicopter88. The light still blinks, but it is charging now.

Reports after abt 1hr in recovery only

First of all i´ll like to thank the team for all the effort invested in this and to let you know that is highly appreciated :D

After testing for abt 40mins this are the things i´ve noticed

1. Flash and boot into recovery red light did not on or blinks, after setting the time zone i noticed the time and battery percentage freez but when i click the setting button and then click the back button the time and batt % start working again.

2. After 30min reboot into recovery the red comes on.

3. After charging batt from 99% to 100% (i guess) the batt % disappeared but the red light stays red and after abt 5mins the batt% comes back to 99%

4. Shutdown device the red light keep blinking (known bug)

"All this test was performed inside recovery"

edit: i copied the logs to sd but i don´t know the default folder

THANK YOU ONE MORE TIME :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Formhault:
It doesn't really matter if the LED lights up or not when it's in Recovery, if it IS charging.

Also, it doesn't really matter if it blinks or stays lit when it's off & plugged in, as long as it is charging...
[HTC EVO 3D] eddyz:
can this be flashed with the flash img gui app?
[HTC EVO 3D] jamesclinton:
This is a zip file you can flash this one :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ozkaya:
did anyone try this with Revolutionary unlock (S-Off) GSM devices? If so, what is the procedure to install and are there any bugs? Would be great if these can be added to OP along with some screenshots.
[HTC EVO 3D] Formhault:
I unlocked the Hboot with HTCDev method, then downgraded from 1.49.0011 to 1.49.0007, then S-OFF`ed with Revolutionary.

To flash this Recovery... "fastboot flash recovery "recoveryname.img"...

If you want screenshots with TWRP, check the topic in the CDMA Development for the EVO 3D...

Have you enabled compression for TWRP?

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

so the official TWRP page and xda thread states that a GSM version is not available, is this the official RC version? And if we don't want to use dumlock (I just flashed it to recovery since I'm S-Off, didn't apply any dumlock stuff) would this be the correct version to use as a recovery?
[HTC EVO 3D] jamesclinton:
I have s-off too and am using it without dumlock :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ozkaya:
any plan to fix blinking as well? The bad thing is, I sometimes turn the phone off and plug it to my computer. It starts to enable Mass Storage mode on and off and makes that horrible USB sound that we all know about :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Formhault:
Yes, I have...

--

When you plug your phone while it's off, the LED stays on for 3 seconds and off for 5. I doubt it charges during those 5 seconds while the LED was off.

I put it to charge (off) for 45 minutes. It charged only 25%. It would normally had charged at least 40%... So my theory is correct :) it doesn't charge when the LED is off (obviously)

[HTC EVO 3D] helicopter88:
Could anyone see if it charges more with

this ?

Kernel has been taken from LeeDroid,thank you Lee for the kernel
[HTC EVO 3D] Formhault:
Flashed the recovery.img. Powered the phone off. Connected it to PC this time to test charging. Now I see why people were complaining about the sound issue... it's mounting/unmounting every time the LED goes on/off.

I see no improvement. I mean... the LED still goes on and off... And, as I previously stated, I believe it's only receiving current when the LED is ON.

I believe the LED acts as a circuit indicator. When it IS drawing current, it's lit, when it's not, it's... well... not... So it's not

actually

charging while off :P

--

Place yourself in a dark,

quiet

room. Put the phone to charge (while it's off). HEAR THE SOUND the charger is making. It obviously connects & disconnects the circuit more than enough to harm your phone...

Until a viable solution to this is found, I guess I'll stick to charging my phone while it's turned on / in Recovery mode (at least that works).

The battery meter in Recovery seems to be working. It's showing the right values. I consider it more reliable even than the OS battery indicator...

--

The only things that require attention right now is the charging issue and the time indicator (it's showing 5:00 AM when the time is 13:00 PM, so it's like it's GMT-8, not GMT+2).

The touchscreen algorithm could use some improvement, too. I touch on "Settings" and swipe my finger upwards, so it's on "Wipe", not on "Settings" anymore. When I release the touch, "Settings" is accessed.

I noticed this when I was trying to scroll through the "Wipe" menu (thought there are some more options). This could be useful... When you want to "Wipe Cache" but press on "Dalvik Cache" instead, and you want to correct yourself by swiping away... You know what I mean.
[HTC EVO 3D] Formhault:
I just made a backup (no compression). Restored it. It worked.

Then, I superwiped and restored the backup (to test whether the thing I explained below would happen again or not). It worked, again.

--

Two days ago, I made a backup (with CWM Revolutionary 4.0.1.4), superwiped, flashed another ROM, then wanted to restore the backup... The restore didn't really work. I mean... the restoration process was done, but once I tried to boot it up, I noticed the boot animation wasn't the same : the stock ANDROID, green glowing text was there instead of the LeeDrOiD one and it got stuck at that for a few minutes, so I figured something went wrong. The last time that happened was when I formatted system/data/cache (not superwipe) without flashing a ROM afterwards (back on the Desire HD).

Not sure if that was Recovery-related or just a bad backup... Anyway, it works fine with TWRP. Awesome :D

Also, the backups/restores are quite fast with TWRP.
[HTC EVO 3D] helicopter88:
I meant,does the phone charge faster than Rc0.1?
[HTC EVO 3D] jamesclinton:
No, is does not charge faster than Rc0.1
[HTC EVO 3D] helicopter88:
The recovery uses GMT -6 by default if i remember right

It doesn't detect the time zone automatically..

The charging(and not charging) issue is pretty weird,it might be /init related..

Pheraps there should be an option to turn off screen and ramp down cpu speed in recovery,to charge properly

That's a shame..
[HTC EVO 3D] Formhault:
Perhaps it should. Irrelevant, it's not what we need to focus on right now.

I just superwiped & flashed LeeDrOiD w/ Kernel V5.3.3 (which rocks, by the way - solved lags & etc. for me) last night. Still the same...

If the /init thing you're talking about is ROM-related...

You mean it doesn't charge properly because the CPU speed is too high in Recovery?! :/

--

On the Desire HD we had 4EXT Recovery (Touchcovery, too). The dev making it said the recovery is using 122 MHz or so (lowest value possible), and doesn't affect the speed at all!
[HTC EVO 3D] helicopter88:
No,i was talking about a "Charging mode"

so you don't damage the battery and charge while you're in recovery without wasting power because of screen and cpu

I was talking about /init in recovery.img
[HTC EVO 3D] Formhault:
I don't see the point... I mean... It charges okay when it's IN RECOVERY, right? Or the same rapid connect/disconnect takes place as well...?!

I'm saying that the rapid connect/disconnect when the phone is off does charge the battery, alright, but it harms it, damages it quite much!

Nothing happens when you charge it turned on / in Recovery, right? Cause I don't see the flux interrupting (by paying attention to the noise the charger is making)...
[HTC EVO 3D] helicopter88:
Phone in recovery charges,but the screen takes a lot of power,i guess,turning off screen could make charging faster,right?
[HTC EVO 3D] Formhault:
Not by much. Also, I noticed the brightness levels used in recoveries (even CWM) appear to be the lowest...

Oh, yeah. Speaking of brightness levels... It would be nice to have a setting in TWRP to adjust the luminosity. I can't see **** outside :D . But this is just some fancy request... :P

--

I believe you could add the function so that the power button acts like a lock/unlock key, just like when the phone is turned on. It's not like it's needed to interact with the recovery menus... we have the touchscreen for that...
[HTC EVO 3D] Dees_Troy:
TWRP defaults to Central time with daylight savings enabled. That's GMT-6. The physical clock in the phone is always set to GMT. The phone uses data from the carrier / radio to determine the time zone automatically. You'll have to change it in the settings. It will take you less than a minute to change it and then you'll never have to touch it again unless you move across time zones. To get the time from the carrier we'd have to add a ton of code to handle either the radio interface GPS and it's clearly not worth the effort, especially when we'd have to do it again for each different radio / device that we try to support with TWRP.

Why Central time? Because I own an EVO 3D CDMA and I live in the USA in the Central time zone and I'm the one that wrote the time zone code, so there! :p
[HTC EVO 3D] jamesclinton:
Theme

Is there any compatible theme for this version?
[HTC EVO 3D] Formhault:
I forgot there is a Settings menu within TWRP. I'll go tinker with that... but for now... I gotta let it discharge. Gotta calibrate :( .

I figured that. Wasn't going to start arguing on that one :D . Thanks for porting this over, I was tired of killing my volume rockers :mad:

---------- Post added at 12:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------

+1

Are there any? :D

It'd be interesting to see, but I'd stick to this stock one. It just suits the phone best!

--

Battery meter isn't quite accurate. Was at 96%, then I booted into Recovery and it showed 99%.

Now I booted into the ROM and it's showing 98%... Okay... Nevermind...

I don't know who is right. The battery meter TWRP has, or the battery meter the ROM has... :-<

[HTC EVO 3D] ozkaya:
is the charging connect-disconnect cycle solved with the new version?
[HTC EVO 3D] Formhault:
Don't think so. If it was, it would've been mentioned in the changelog... It's sad, though; I was expecting a fix :(
[HTC EVO 3D] Dees_Troy:
Download link is fixed. I'm kind of depending on helicopter88 to fix the charging issue. I don't actually own an EVO 3D GSM (just the CDMA version) and the charging setup that we have for the CDMA version is working fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] Formhault:
Damn this hardware difference... I really don't see where the two variants differ. I thought the CDMA only requires an additional chip for signal processing... so the basics should be the same... Oh well -.-
[HTC EVO 3D] helicopter88:
Oddly enough CDMA has other files(and pheraps another way) to charge

I would like to track this issue,but i don't know how to know what's going on when the phone is off and charging..
[HTC EVO 3D] Formhault:
CWM Revolutionary 4.0.1.4 does not have issues with charging. Well, the circuit connects and disconnects once, but then it connects and doesn't disconnect anymore, so I'd say that's the best shot we got right now.

How about looking at that recovery? Perhaps the kernel? I'm saying this about the kernel just because I saw it mentioned earlier (didn't even knew recoveries use a kernel, didn't even know they're responsible for charging - thought that was only the Hboot...).
[HTC EVO 3D] rahditzz:
Do you have a link for that img? :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] helicopter88:
This is what I'm doing

Since i've already tried with everything else,i hope to fix the issue by changing init..
[HTC EVO 3D] Formhault:
Here it is (see attachment). Flash via fastboot (fastboot flash recovery <name>.img) or with Flash Image GUI.

Is that what you are doing or what you already tried?!
[HTC EVO 3D] Dees_Troy:
FWIW, I do want to say that the charging issue isn't helicopter88's fault and that anyone with the appropriate knowledge and skillset could work on the issue. If someone else wants to step up, feel free to do so. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] helicopter88:
I don't have tried with /init yet

I just added a couple of binaries and services,wich made charging parially working..

Feel free to play with recovery
[HTC EVO 3D] Formhault:
I know it's not his... He made it working (even partially) in the first place.

I don't know coding, I can't play with the recovery in another way than... just using it :D

We started learning C (not C++ -.-) at college, but I doubt I'll be able to do anything until we move on from printf's and simple getch() ****s :) . Teacher didn't even know the clrscr command, so I doubt I'll be able to tinker with these things you guys play any time soon... like these basic things I learn at school would be of any use in Android / etc :rolleyes:
