zzzap.it

We have released zzzap.it out of private beta a couple of days ago. It's actually quite similar and allows you to send any file from your desktop's web browser to an Android phone. There's an optional Chrome browser plugin that resembles the Chrome-to-Phone functionality as well. No user accounts required. The file size is currently limited to 10 Megabytes.

Would be nice to get some initial feedback in case you want to try it out. Thanks!

#############################################

sdb1: This is the FAT32 partition that gets mounted when we boot into pink screen;

It holds, among other files, EMMCBOOT.MBN, which, if not present and as far as I've experimented, will get the phone straight into a blue screen and initiate a flash procedure if a 'dload' folder with a ROM is found in the sdcard. The contens of this partition are changed when a ROM is flashed.

sdb2: Is flagged as bootable, and holds an (so far) unknown filesystem (if any; could hold a raw binary image, for instance);

sdb3: Holds an unknown filesystem, if any. This partition is changed whenever you flash a ROM. dumping this partition back, from any 2.3BETA, to a 2.3 (B522) running phone, will get the USB pink screen mode working again, allowing acces to sdb1.

sdb5: holds an unknown filesystem if any; dumping this one back gets us the original "IDEOS" logo and, probably, whatever is needed to make previous CWM backups work again.

sdb6: ext3 filesystem with a directory called "recovery".

sdb7: Unknown filessytem, if any.

sdb8: Unknown filesystem, if any.

sdb9: Unknown filesystem, if any.

sdb10: Unknown filesystem, if any.

sdb11: Unknown filesystem, if any.

sdb12: ext3 filesystem; gets mounted at "/system".

sdb13: ext3 filesystem; gets mounted at "/data".

sdb14: vfat filesystem; represents the internal sdcard.

I'm trying to find out what needs to be restored in order to perform a clean, reliable downgrade. sdb5 is a must, but not the only one. I've flashed 2.2 and dumped it back right after. The result is an almost downgraded U8800. I say almost because charging the battery while the phone is off shows a different image (the one that comes with 2.3) and I can't power up the phone unless I take the cable out; this means there are still remnants of 2.3 somewhere...

UPDATE: Not being able to power up the phone was to due to the CWM recovery; restoring original recovery.img solved that one.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tradejak66:
Just a thought. How come the mytouch is overloaded with sense 3.5 and 3.0 roms but it seems there is no Touchwiz, Motorola Aplications platform (MOTOBLUR as it was formerly known), etc?

Please dont go ranting off at me that "Touchwiz is crap" or "why would you even want it", as some people do have different opinions.

Don't get me wrong, I like sense and stock android, but I'm the type that likes to explore roms that arent all based off the same things also.

Is it some copyright problem that Samsung or Motorola have that HTC does not? I can understand that, as android is Open Source but the manufacterer's UI isnt.

Any explanations?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I believe I wrote it in the previous thread of that kind:

To port TouchWiz, you need to port twframework. twframework is oriented to Samsung HW, and probably utilizes some of kernel functionality that also exists in Samsung kernels. So to build a proper TouchWiz ROM, twframework has to be rebuilt and kernel adapted for it. Most likely, VERY hard and long work, requiring quite some skills. Much harder than your average ROM porting from sister devices or compiling CM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You are right. Long has it been known that OEM based UI are very dependent on their respected framework files and kernel parts. Yes some port have been done for things like sense but there is always something that remains broken and can't be fixed without using the frameworks and kernels. Many have tried and it is normally things like BT, cell data, and cell signal that always remains broken.

does not matter what i chose from settings , no lock , slide , pattern or pin. screen lock simply does not work.. and when i press the power button ( lock button ) for 2 seconds the phone shuts down , without the power off confirmation. pretty annoing.

Yes xethor , i did. Steps i did : permission fix from CWM , data / cache delete , factory reset.. still nothing :(

i dont think it's beacause of the custom ROM , i get no lockscreen in oficial sammy rom or any ICS rom.

don't wanna be the scrub, but my lock screen is still gone. restored all of my efs backups and it's still not back :( any other thoughts?

EDIT: after a bit of derp on my part, I realized that the EFS folder wasn't keeping my changes despite all the attempts to restore the keystr file. In order to fix this, I had to set all permissions to 777, then reset the keystr file to ON. Once I had my lockscreen and boot menu back I just rebooted into CWM and proceeded to fix permissions.

in short, if the editing doesn't work:

1) Change permissions of the EFS and IMEI folder to 777

2) edit the keystr file

3) fix permissions in CWM

[K1] "Unsupported menu option selected" error & where to get TimmyDean rooted 13-13?

I just got a brand new K1. Fresh out of the box with 3-3 pre-installed, I downloaded and used TimmyDean's permanent root tool, flashing a rooted 2-2 firmware. I then enabled the backdoor and ran all the OTA updates up to 14-14. This took several hours in all. I then ran the BusyBox and SU Tools install script. Everything was looking okay. I selected the choice to exit the script with reboot. The K1 turned off and came back on with the Lenovo logo, but, at the top of the screen was red writing:

Unsupported menu option selected: 1

Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x00000002).

It stops there and goes no further. No bootup.

Attempting to research the error, it seems this is not an error too many people encounter or know about, so my guess is that my only way of fixing this problem is to flash the whole thing over again from the beginning. (Unless someone here knows something about this problem. That would be tremendously helpful.)

Having already experienced what it took to go from 2-2 to 14-14 the first time with the permanent root package, I'd certainly like to shortcut it however possible. In this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1404351 , TimmyDean posted a rooted 13-13 that we can start from. However, the link to the download file for it is Multiupload.com, and Multiupload.com does not seem to be up for me. Does anyone know where else I can go to try and download a copy?

I'd have posted directly in that Development thread, but, since I am an XDA noob, the forum system only allows me to post in this General section.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ssl123:
After experimenting with the "permanent root" package several times now, each time ending up with the "Unsupported menu option selected: 1" error after any OTA update, I have to believe there is an incompatibility between the K1 I have and the bootloader files in the "permanent root" package. I do not know if my K1 is recently manufactured and they are now doing something different with them that causes this incompatibility or what, but I felt I should warn you all that flashing the "permanent root" package could cause your K1 to not take official updates or to otherwise brick it with the "unsupported menu option" error. Perhaps the 13-13 package, which I don't have and can't test, didn't have this problem.

My serial number is CB1245XXXX. Manufacture date is "11/11/27."

I have now given up on getting root on my K1 and would just be happy to get it back to a working condition that can take Lenovo's OTA updates without bricking. I am currently trying these instructions and will update as to whether or not that resolves the problem: rootzwiki.com/topic/13877-guide-ideapad-k1-restore-to-mostly-stock-with-ota-updates/ (The forum software will not allow me to post hot links, so copy and paste that to browser.)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ssl123:
The rootzwiki procedure did not work to correct the problem. After any update, the tablet is bricked with the error. There are a few threads on the Lenovo support forum on this issue now, and there is no solution.

forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Slate-Tablets/K1-not-booting-after-update/td-p/548285

forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Slate-Tablets/Unrecoverable-Boot-Loader-Error/td-p/683633

I believe these old bootloader files will not work and will brick newer K1's, so my warning is:

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ROOT YOUR K1'S. DO NOT CHANGE THE EXISTING BOOTLOADER IN ANY WAY WITH NVFLASH. SOMETHING HAS CHANGED.

This might only apply to more recently manufactured K1's, but, since we do not know when this problem begins, it is not possible to know beforehand whether or not you will brick yours.

To be on the safe side, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ROOT YOUR K1'S. DO NOT CHANGE THE EXISTING BOOTLOADER IN ANY WAY WITH NVFLASH. SOMETHING HAS CHANGED.

Unfortunately, there was no backup option in the rooting packages, so I could not get a copy of the stock bootloader or any other files, if they are indeed of a different and newer variety. If someone has a recently manufactured K1, perhaps you can get those files and share them, because a lot of people are starting to see this problem now.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] traihan:
I have one with sn#1250xxxx, mfg dt 11/11/29. I wasn't even trying to root the thing. I happened during an OTA update. I tried probably all the recovery/rooting option out there. None of them worked. I have the tablet booting at lenovo screen. But I think you are right about the bootloader. If we can get the correct bootloader, we might be able to the the tablet back to life.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkster84:
Hi, guys. I have a little problem and I hope you can help me. Sometimes (it's not usual, but sometimes it happens) my phone (Nexus one, CM7) runs quite slowly, and not fluent at all, just because of an app that is eating all the memory / processor. If I kill that app, problem solved. OK, this is not the real problem here.

When this happened the first time, I went to the running services section in settings, and I checked that the services listed are not ALL the running processes, so even if I kill all the services there, there are still running apps. Then, I tried to install several app killers, just to check if they kill all the running apps, but not only they don't list all the running apps, but also when killing all, there are still apps that keep running (like some games), and the only way I found to find them is checking one by one in the apps list, if they are running or not.

Is there any app to check at once ALL the running apps? I have looked for it, but all I have found are apps to do exercise ("running apps", D'oh!), and stuff like that.

Thank you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hospital349:
Here's a little something...

Is your phone rooted? - If so, I highly recommend 'Autostarts' - (Search on play).

You can literally set apps not to run from the moment you start-up your phone, stopping them in their tracks until you say so. These include system apps and bloatware and it does a great job of pinpointing which apps are operational & when they are. Some apps open in the background at inappropriate times and you'll be shocked to see how many take up memory without you even noticing.

Give it a whirl. :)

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

Sorry, if you aren't rooted, you could try 'Gemini App Manager' (Also on the Market).

It isn't as streamlined as Autostarts, but there are plenty of additional options built in. Great for any non-rooted phone. :p

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3l3ctr0:
Here is my short story:

I lost my phone in the garden, after 3 days of searching and as the snow melted, i saw it lying on the ground, unfortunately turned off. Dont think this happend because of low battery rather than because of the water.

After i found it, i immediately dissassembled it without turning on and now its drying..i will wait for some days, until i can get some isopropanol(97% alcohol or so).

The water-indicator is lilac, not shure, but this means damaged by water, right?

So now here are my questions..is there even a chance that the isopropanol might help?..because the phone was turned on as i lost it, and i think it stopped working due to the water, not because of low battery..so is it already to late? Does this method only help if the phone is still working?

And which parts should be bathed in isopropanol ? E.g. is it bad for the camera, the microphones, the screen and the speakers, as i have read somewhere?

And if for example the screen would be damaged, would it be bad for the logicboard, too, if i reassemble it again and test it then?

And is there any possibility i can find out which part is defect, if it won´t work at all?

Are there any other options left for me?

hope this doesnt happen to anyone else;)
