[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
I'm just curious about how the whole FOTA process works on the skyrocket, so I started digging around in logs, source code, and the wssyncmldm binary.

Here's what I've found so far:

The FOTA update is downloaded by Device Management (aka: wssyncmldm) to: /data/data/com.wssyncmldm/2400258.cfg along with some other file:2355.cfg (not sure what that is yet.)

2400258.cfg is a binary munge of all of the delta files and contains a 64 byte header with a signature, a copy of the update agent (ua), and the byte offset of each delta.zImage, delta.modem, delta.lte, delta.platform in the file. the update file can contain several other image delta, like fota_delta_dp1, and fota_delta_dp2.

The delta files are binary patch files, which explains why the update fails if your running a custom rom, kernel, mode, etc -- the patch can't be applied successfully if the current rom isn't the exact stock version that the update agent is expecting.

Next, wssyncmldm then splits out the delta.xxx files and places them in either /data/fota or /sdcard/fota (I'm not exactly sure which, but pretty sure it's /data/fota.) It appears that the delta.xxx files are created when the user clicks ok to initiate the update and reboot.

Next, when the user clicks 'ok' to apply the update, wssyncmldm issues the command: reboot arm11_fota which reboots the system into update mode, then /fota.rc runs to set things up and then executes /sbin/ua_loader which does some checking, copies the working delta files from /data/fota to /cache/fota and then executes the downloaded update agent at /cache/fota/ua.

Then ua then takes the delta files from /cache/fota and performs the update as follows:

The update agent runs through the delta files (zImage, modem, lte, and platform) twice, the first time in op_mode[2] which tests the update, but doesn't actually flash it. If all 4 deltas are successful in test mode, then it runs through a second time in op_mode[0] which actually flashes the update(s).

After an update the update delta and log files remain in /cache/fota.

I'm sure there is more to this process, still doing some tinkering-- but if anyone can offer additional insight that would be great.

I see those files sitting in my cache/fota folder.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anz2k8:
I need help on various issues the main one being my phone randomly rebooting, approximately once or twice a day.

The only sort of customisation I have done is Cf-root from this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

I don't know if this means if my phone has a custom kernel or anything because i'm a total noob.

Another issue is it is very slow and Laggy even though I regularly clear running apps

My phone has more than half it's internal memory free and I have a 32gb mem card

I want to know any kernels or custom ROM's recommended, hopefully equipped with a link and/or instructions .

Thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Hmm ... CF-Root kernel is not the cause of your issues.

It is more or less only a rooted stock kernel with some small additions (SU, BB, CWM recovery mode and CWM Manager app).

1. Try to wipe cache and Dalvik cache in recovery mode (just start CWM Manager app and select to reboot into recovery).

2. If that does not help, flash the latest stock ROM from Intratech's thread (=> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278)

I can recommend XWLA4 Frankenstein ROM from third post.

Then flash the corresponding CF-Root kernel from Chainfire.

P.S.:

Make a nandroid backup (start CWM Manager app and select to create a backup) before flashing a new ROM/kernel.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anz2k8:
The clear cache never worked so I guess I'll try the Frankenstein kernel, but my phone is BUKJ3 so ask I still able to flash XWLA4

[HTC EVO 3D] spapadoc:
Basically want to know what version AVRCP the EVO 3d has?

I have a Sony Radio which I connect via bluetooth wit my phone and I can stream music without any issues and i can also control the phone via sony head unit.

But the only thing is that it doesn't send the music information to display to the radio!

I have a feeling that the evo3d has Version 1.0 according to wiki below. But is there way to upgrade this?

Here is the wiki info on AVRCP versions:

Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)

This profile is designed to provide a standard interface to control TVs, Hi-fi equipment, etc. to allow a single remote control (or other device) to control all of the A/V equipment to which a user has access. It may be used in concert with A2DP or VDP.

It has the possibility for vendor-dependent extensions.

AVRCP has several versions with significantly increasing functionality:

1.0—Basic remote control commands (play/pause/stop, etc.)

1.3—all of 1.0 plus metadata and media-player state support

The status of the music source (playing, stopped, etc.)

Metadata information on the track itself (artist, track name, etc.).

1.4—all of 1.0, 1.3, plus media browsing capabilities for multiple media players

Browsing and manipulation of multiple players

Browsing of media metadata per media player, including a "Now Playing" list

Basic search capabilities

Can anyone tell me what Launcher works the best with CM9 Alpha 2. Would you recommend I change the Trebuchet one I am currently using now to something that may have more options? Paid or Free, it doesn't matter. :) Please let me know which ones work with the new CM9 Alpha 2 as that is currently what I have on my TouchPad as I don't want to kill it AGAIN! :cool: THANKS! :D

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias4ever:
Is there is lot of difference between Nova & trebuchet? I use trebuchet as I am good with it and it did come with the CM9 stock. :) But I just like to play around and change up things on my TouchPad just for fun. :) Course always do a backup first and foremost!

Thank you both! :D
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nathanation:
I'm using trebuchet, but have used Apex launcher, search for it on xda its not on the market yet. Its very similar to stock trebuchet but with more options, like changing icons and transition effects.

Okay I just put the Apex Launcher on there. :) It looks GREAT! I love that you can rename the apps/games on your desktop, was hoping for something like that! :D When I went to the help in the actual Apex Launcher App I was able to make it my default and everything as they were very specific on how to do that.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike-y:
If you like trebuchet, then you'll probably like Nova launcher - it looks about the same, but has a few more features, and works with various screen density/dpi settings.

I'm also trying out the new Go Launcher HD (beta) and like it. Not too many options yet, but I like what I see so far.

This is based off the frameworks from my ROM (OTA 5.10.605.9) so should work on any ROM based on the stock OTA.

[Motorola Photon 4G] QWIKSTRIKE:
There are plenty of home automated systems available, You don't need a wireless carrier to get it implemented in your home. You can control from IOS Android or windows phones. I have built plenty of systems, and installed enough of them to know that it is a little known secret that's been around for quite some time
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
Where? (Not being an a**, I have just never see a phone that can control your house?)
[Motorola Photon 4G] QWIKSTRIKE:
For this to happen you must have a home control system installed that can control your home. Many home control systems have apps for IOS, Android, and Windows phones that allow you to see what's going on in your home through cameras, setting temperature, turning lights on and off, unlocking the front door, and opening garage doors. I just built a friend a home control system with video and music storage close to 10 terabytes of data storage and growing. Now I am building and ultimate server with 20 terabyte storage capabilities.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KSmithInNY:
My buddie has his android phone control most aspects of his house thanks to a home automation server and tasker. Here are some of the ones I can remember off hand:

Phone comes into specific cell tower range (of house) garage opens. Phone leaves specific cell tower range (of house) garage closes. At 7pm phone checks location, if not home outside lights turn on, if home nothing.

He has a whole bunch of other things automated but I can't recall them. It's a complex, semi-expensive setup and while its cool as heck to watch, its a bit overwhelming to understand and not user friendly to setup.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
What is a App?????

I'm not looking at full blown at the moment, but a few things, off hand (desktop, TV, Lights, heat, AC) I might do just to check it out.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cswithxda:
Hello folks,

I'm facing this "please insert a disk" issue when connecting my Note to computer via USB Debugging mode / Mass Storage Mode.

I'll let screenshots in the attachment explain itself. #1 shows the screenshot of devices menu when the phone is plugged into the computer in DEBUG mode; #2 shows the screen after I've clicked "connect USB storage" from the drop-down list of the phone; #3 shows what happens when I try to open one of the two "removable disks".

MTP mode works fine, as well as Kies connection. As I finally started exploring the potential of Android platform, I realized that MTP and Kies connection are the most useless connection options for me, and I'd rather leave it in debug mode all day. So has anybody experienced this issue, or had any suggestion on the solution?

As always, many thanks in advance, and many thanks button clicks afterward! :D

p.s.,

Desktop OS: Win7 Pro X64 SP1

Note: 2.3.6 Stock LB1 Open Germany Firmware, CF rooted LB1 kernel.

Also, I should have all the latest official device driver from Samsung, as I have the latest version of Kies installed (and I discovered a driver folder under Kies' installed location). I'm not so sure about adb driver, but I was able to find the Note to be listed under devices by typing "adb devices". So.. I don't know where could've gone wrong.

This really sounds weird... I was facing problems of the Galaxy Note not being detected on several Windows7 32/64-Bit SP1 computers as well but this was gone after I installed SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.

You are right - from all that i know all required drivers should be available when KIES is installed on your system. Whatis even more strange is that your device seems to be detected as two partitions are available and are displayed in Explorer...

So I would test the following:

- check if your device manager lists any unknown devices

- Uninstall KIES and try to find the SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones and install those

- check all available USB ports and see if this solves the problem

- try another USB cable

- make sure your (external) SD card is formatted with a Windows compatible file-system e.g. FAT32

Hope this is helpful and helps solving your problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cswithxda:
Thanks for your reply!

My device manager basically listed all the drivers/devices associated with the phone:

My Device manager shows devices:

Samsung Android Composite ADB interface

Android UMS Composite USB device (x2)

SAMSUNG Android USB Modem

USB Mass Storage Device

USB Mass Storage Device (Android)

I've attached the screenshot when all the drivers being installed when the phone is firstly connected to the computer. Also in the device manager, everything shows "this device is working properly"

I then decided to test with another Note of my friend's (On the same computer). Her Note has no SD card in it, and is completely stock ROM non-rooted LA4 Open Germany firmware. The same thing happened.

One thing worth mentioning: Yesterday, this worked only for once. When I initially encountered this issue, I restarted my computer, and boom, my phone was connected in Debugging mode! However, once disconnected, and I tried to connect it to the computer again, this issue came back. And afterward, no matter how I restart my computer, the phone won't get connected.

I also tried all USB port (USB 2.0 and 3.0), three different cables (2 of them are Samsung OEMs) and failed to address the issue.

I'm nearly exhausted but I will never give up, as this is my only computer and my only phone (haha), and without solving this issue, I'm never gonna be able to view the phone as a USB storage and easily transfer the file from my computer to the phone.

I'm going to try the last thing that I haven't done from the list you posted:

- Uninstall KIES and try to find the SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones and install those

I believe that I can keep the driver folder in the Kies' folder, as I believe those are the newest Samsung driver, given that the Kies was the latest release version.

So far, I can only conclude that this issue is not related to specific phone but the Windows 7.

And thank you for your help btotaku!

If anyone has any insight into this issue, please help me. Thumbs up for you!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cswithxda:
BTW, I was able to extract both SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe from under Kies' installation path under Program Files x86 folder, and an uncompressed folder of all kinds of drivers for Samsung device, called "USB Drivers".

And looks like I was wrong. The newest version of SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones I had was 1.4.8. While the driver that came with the newest Kies was 1.4.103

I followed the instructions directly on how to acquire signal and so far so good. However, upon attempting to acquire a data service, I seem to be stuck. I have tried both methods numerous times now and have had NO luck whatsoever.
