I started playing around in the android OS and here are some files I found that ahve "testmode" within them. I tried doing a full system search, but the 'find' keeps stalling/freezing. init.rc has some, what looks like, programmer patch scripts in it that directly affect testmode. What's funny is that each "patch" is labeled by the devs email address! We could probably email the guy to find out how to disable testmode.... (=

# find . -type f -exec grep -l "testmode" {} + 2> /sdcard/err.log

[LG Revolution] kenyu73:
I emailed one of the engineers listed in the init.rc file.... MAYBE if we're lucky, he'll help us out.
[LG Revolution] kenyu73:
So far, not looking good. I think he may be thinking I was it disabled in the core, but he doesn't understand that its running actively.

[I]Thank you for your response!

Can testmode be disabled in Linux or from Android. Can we dial a code to turn it off?
How can I turn it off? Do you know how or can hint at how to do it?
Thank you again[/I]

[I]Impossible!!

If you are guru, then you can disable it and then it make a brick.

It’s useless job. Why are you trying that?

Give up I suggest. Testmode is lg version of QCT diag cmd set.

[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Guys, test mode is embedded deep inside the kernel source. Disabling it in one place will cause it to not build because it is referenced in another file. Remove it from there and it won't build because of another. Etc., etc., etc. Now what you can try is asking if he knows which partition holds the flag for test mode. It is obviously not /boot, /data, /system/, or /recovery.
[LG Revolution] kenyu73:
Hey mt,

Do we know why emergency mode installed tot's flag testmode whereas regular installed tot's (from cwm recovery or usbmode) dont flag flag testmode? Same tot's same kernel, right?

Is it possible to pull the other mounts images (not /system, /data, etc) and push them to a testmode device?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
I don't believe it's tots flashed from emergency mode per se, but rather phones that had bad recoveries installed first, then flashed in emergency mode.
[LG Revolution] kenyu73:
Agreed.

Now, where is the flag, byte offset, or whatever that is flagging the whole system to be in 'testmode'. If it can be set, it can be unset.

Since /system, /data and /cache are wiped and replaced with a new ROM, then that leaves one of the other.. what (3 or 4) mounted partitions that could contain this flag. Maybe the rootfs contains this flag as a byte offset?

Again, what if a partition from a non-testmode device was exported and pushed to a testmode device? Is there a way to compare these other partitions byte for byte between a good and testmode device?

How I wish I was a linux guru right now.... damn you Microsoft!
[LG Revolution] nasaiya:
I found a program called wxHexEdit that seems about right for the job...

It can compare two binary files / images.

I'm currently having a peek at the MISC partition but I don't have a non-testmode copy to compare it with.

If someone could hook me up with an image (mmcblk0p8) from a non-test-mode phone that would be great!
[LG Revolution] HighLimit:
I got out of test mode easy, just csll verizon and get a new phone. :)
[LG Revolution] metriod:
oh wow, can you write up a full tutorial?
[LG Revolution] LaggyWizard:
lmao f ing awesomeness
[LG Revolution] amoamare:
Umm when you say test mode, what exactly do you mean ? Was the phone just saying Test Mode or what exactly ?
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Test Mode is when you can't connect it via usb that you have to use emergency download to flash stuff.
[LG Revolution] metriod:
you can't mount usb or use adb command. When you plug in the usb, it just said it is in test mode and can't mound usb or something like that.

This happen on a LG esteem MS910 too, if you use lgnpst to restore, it will go into test mode.
[LG Revolution] lentm:
I could root in test mode. I just turned on USB Debugging mode, and it worked.

Maybe adb command works too?
[LG Revolution] nasaiya:
adb works fine in test mode... the only thing I have noticed so far is you can't switch to usb mass storage mode etc. It's annoying, but not that big of a deal.

There is no effect on rooting of any kind, and you do NOT need to use emergency download mode to flash just because you are in test mode... test mode is apparently caused by flashing from emergency download mode...
[LG Revolution] lentm:
we now have a fix! you should try!
[LG Revolution] nasaiya:
It works! WooHooo!!!!!

OK, so flashing down to VZ4 works, but how do we get back up to VZ7 to run a GB rom? (Gingervolt, for example) do we just let the phone download updates from VZW itself, or is there another process since we can't flash VZ7 via LGNPST?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] supernova_00:
Can anyone help me figure out why my download and mainly upload speeds are so slow? I'm approximately 1/4 mile from the tower and it is line of sight without any obstructions. Radios are the leaked 4.0.4 radios and speeds were basically the exact same with 4.0.2 radios. Nothing else was running and the server is about 30 miles from here. Also, I had full bars for 3g and two bars for 4G when I tested.

Top four results are 4G and second four are 3G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
I am guessing only a Verizon tech who can look at the tower can help you there. Anything else will just be a guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ickwonder:
Mine is pretty bad too around the same as yours during peak hours...I think its due to over saturation at work...in the morning I get around 600 kbps...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gtab55:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Oversaturation? VZW has so many data hungry grandfathered customers on LTE - that plus their aggressive marketing = lots of people using once-50MBps LTE now slowing it to HSDPA+ speeds?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] supernova_00:
We must work at the same place then. I don't really notice a slow down after most people leave but I'll run a speed test tomorrow evening to see if there is a difference. Btw today around 1030 I got around 30 down and 30 up, kbps.

Here is a screenshot from then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] supernova_00:
Still crappy speeds even with less than 3/4 of the work force here today. So I'm thinking its something other than way too many people hitting the same tower.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aridon:
Network saturation is a *****. Head over to the throttle thread and listen to all the people there tell you how all the heavy data users have no impact on you. The good thing is at least Verizon is proactive about their network and will likely add capacity soon. I'd certainly consider complaining a bit to them though so they know its a problem.

Just something to consider... Samsung only confirmed that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 would receive ICS. Since then, they released 2, 10.1" Galaxy Tablets. I've been a Sammy customer for 2 years now and I wouldn't put it past them to go back on their previous statement and say "The Galaxy Tab 10.1 does have Ice Cream Sandwich" and refer to the 10.1-2 or 10.1 Note.

[Acer Iconia A500] DrPlumEU:
I would like some help please.

Have bricked my a500 during attempt to falsh vach leaked ICS.

Switchme was used before clearing data and I forgot to delete a profile. This is I think the cause of my problem.

I cannot proceed with any ROM flashing until data partition is cleared.

I am using RA-ICONIA-3.15 recovery kernel.

I can mount and format CACHE SYSTEM FLEXROM partitions.

Attempting to mount data this is the message

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 (File exists)

Now my poor A500 will not get past 'acer'screen when trying to boot.

Question 1: How can I restore access to the DATA partition?

Question 2: How do I wipe my internal storage and start over?

I have a nand backup before this started on external SD card. Uncertain if I should restore this.

Thanks in advance.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
try this

If you are using Thor's CWM. And his recovery only;

Here are the steps to completely wipe all internal data. And give it a clean internal system (according to Thor)

Note: Optional Formatting.

If you really want to remove EVERYTHING in Internal Memory, at this point, go to Backup and Restore. Select "Toggle backup and restore of internal storage (/data/media). Enable this setting by selecting it. By default, it is disabled. Then proceed to the formatting steps. This will format the Entire Internal Memory when you proceed.

Note, this will format EVERYTHING in internal memory (not ext sd card)

Select Go Back, Goto Mounts and Storage

1. Format System

2. Format Cache

3. Format Dalvik

4. Format Flexrom

After you reboot, I believe it resets back to the defaults.

try to install the rom with the normal procedures.

this what i used and it worked great no problems

note** i am just fowarding info that was passed to me. and this will erase you backups

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IF you are running RA Revamped Recovery, then you may want to contact Drellisdee at his thread;

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1459821

He knows the procedures to do the same.it's a tricky process, and he knows more about his recovery than I do.
[Acer Iconia A500] DrPlumEU:
Thank you for the prompt response. Already tried your recipe with no luck.

I need access to the DATA partition and do not know how to go about that. Once have access to the internal disk, would like to know how to completely wipe this if that what it takes.

Thanks

PS: If I truly have bricked the device it is still in 12mo warranty, so will contact Acer care centre if no tricks work.

Have you tried restoring your nandroid backup? This has recovered the error for me on my phone before when the /data partition became corrupt. Worth a shot.
[Acer Iconia A500] DrPlumEU:
Sadly, restoration of the nandroid backup was not successful.

I have notice that I pressed wrong volume button when attempting the hard reset. Will try the correct procedure later after work. Hopefully a proper hard reset then restore with one of Vache stock roms will have me up and running.

UPDATE: Sadly hard reset fails to load. My poor a500 needs resuscitation at acer clinic
[Acer Iconia A500] spoupard:
I had the exact same problem, although I caused the problem in a different manner. You need to be able to use adb to get it going again. If you are not familiar with adb, do a search and you can find plenty of help. That's what I had to do. Unfortunately, my skills with adb are pretty much non-existent, so I can't really help you with that part.

Once you get adb going on your computer and it recognizes your A500, follow these steps:

You will need to boot into my recovery and open adb shell.

This will cause loss of all data contained on /data which will lose your /data/media.

From adb shell:

mount (This is to check data isn't mounted. If mounted use "umount data")

mke2fs -j -b 4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index -C 1 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

e2fsck -fy /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

After this is done your file system on /data will be fixed. You can install the ROM of your choice. Good luck!

(These instructions were originally provided to me by drellisdee)
[Acer Iconia A500] Ping192:
Thanks for the answer on your previous post. I fixed my /data mount.

[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
If you switch the A500 off and whilst switching it on hold the volume up button and start toggling the rotation lock on and off it should clear the internal memory completely. Then flash an update.zip from a MicroSD. Otherwise use the Iconia software update tool that's floating around in APX mode. Make sure you have your UID for this
[Acer Iconia A500] spoupard:
That's exactly what caused my problem. Glad you are working again.
