Hey Paul,

This is the Android Dev for Pocket. I've gotten a couple reports about this issue specifically on the HTC Flyer. I have been scratching my brain trying to figure out what the problem could be. It is interesting that it is so limited to one particular device. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a Flyer.

Can you send me a screen shot of what you are seeing? Are you able to switch to the Web View ok? Is it only blank for the Article View?

Best,

Max

(Note to others: If you have other issues/questions related to Pocket, please contact us at support@getpocket.com rather than messaging me directly. Thanks.)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] soulseller:
I have the exact same problem. Is there any way to down grade from pocket to RIL while they are trying to fix these issues?

Did you get a reply to this, xx? My Flyer pen is at the office right now, so it's a little difficult to take a screen shot but all elements of the page appear, icons an all, but there is simply no text or pictures to the article. It's completely blank. This happens in both Article and Web View. Will post a screen shot when I have a chance.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rydehard86:
I have the same issue. It's driving me crazy. I love the app, but no text.

For a screen shot, press the power button and home key at the same time. No pen needed.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Paul22000:
Sure! I'd be happy to help Max! Here is a screenshot of the main issue (notice it's completely blank):

​

-----

Switching to web view is blank as well:

​

-----

However, for web view, notice that the progress bar does appear and it does look like it's *loading* the webpage, but the text is still blank:

​

-----

Switching to night theme has no effect, nor does changing font, font size, alignment, brightness or refreshing the article:

​

-----

Also, I noticed that the scroll bar is indeed there and moves around when scrolling through the article (see below, very faint on the right side).

So it looks like the article is certainly loading and you can scroll through it, but perhaps it's just white text on a white background. Maybe setting the font color to red or something will make it display?

​

Is there anything else I can do to help?

Thanks again Max, and thanks for joining the community at XDA!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] xxxxxxxxxxam:
Thanks for all of that info Paul, that is incredibly helpful. If you don't mind I have a couple more questions.

1. If you long press somewhere on the page, does it activate the text selection mode? If it does, and you drag the handles, can you see text?

2. If you rotate the device a couple times does anything change or is it still blank?

3. If you open a link directly into the Web View (not Article View) first, does it appear correctly? (You can force this to happen by going into Settings and disable "Open Best View", then go open an article, switch it to the Web View, then back out of the article. Now when you open an article it should open into the Web View first.)

4. While in the Article View, if you toggle full screen mode, does anything change? (tap the center of the screen to toggle)

Thanks again!

Max
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] xxxxxxxxxxam:
Also, if you wouldn't mind, could you also post a screen shot of the list screen?

Thanks,

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] veethree:
Hi Max

Just to let you know, fired up Pocket this morning and everything seems to be functioning perfectly - text is appearing as it should in both Article and Web View. Not sure what you did on your side to work the magic, but thank you. Wonderful to get response like that from a developer fr a relatively marginal device...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] blannoy:
Hi,

I've got the same problem (same device).

Sometimes I can read articles and sometimes the same articles show blank as well. I've had cases where there was a blank square over part of the text.

As for your questions

>1. If you long press somewhere on the page, does it activate the text

> selection mode? If it does, and you drag the handles, can you see text?

Long press activates selection but the handles are invisible. If I drag around at random and copy, then I can paste that invisible text into another app.

>2. If you rotate the device a couple times does anything change or is it still blank?

Doesn't change anything except that I've had a case where the text in the list view went blank. I've attached before and after rotation. When the list view had blank text also the settings screen had invisible text.

Sometimes in articles bullets are visible but no text.

>3. If you open a link directly into the Web View (not Article View) first, does it

>appear correctly? (You can force this to happen by going into Settings and

>disable "Open Best View", then go open an article, switch it to the Web View,

>then back out of the article. Now when you open an article it should open into

>the Web View first.)

No difference

> 4. While in the Article View, if you toggle full screen mode, does anything

> change? (tap the center of the screen to toggle)

Nope. Sometimes I get a full screen image that's the same as the preview image in list view but not always (even on the same item)

Bob
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Paul22000:
1. Yes long pressing does activate text selection mode. However, the handles do not appear (screenshot below).

​

All the buttons do work, for example copying the text does indeed copy the invisible text to the clipboard; searching for the invisible selected text (even though not visible) does open the browser and search for the text etc. Same behavior in night mode.

Also note that tapping on an image (though seemingly invisible) does bring up the image in full screen mode (screenshot below).

​

-----

2 & 4. The text is still blank regardless of rotating the device or full screen mode, unfortunately.

​

-----

3. The text is still blank when jumping to web view directly, although the background color does load.

​

-----

And here is my reading list (yes, ironically I added the "Pocket reinvents itself" article from The Verge to my reading list when I was testing the new app haha):

​
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Paul22000:
That has happened to me too! Once yesterday and once today I loaded up the app and it was working perfectly. I came back later and back to blankness.

If it happens again, I'll try to figure out what conditions cause it to work perfectly.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] xxxxxxxxxxam:
Thanks everyone for your help and info. I'll be back with an update soon. Sorry about this bug, as I know it pretty much prevents you from using the app at all.

I'll get it tracked down as soon as I can.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Paul22000:
Thanks for keeping up with this. It's great to see such support! I wish I could show you my device personally. Too bad San Fran isn't closer to LA (and too bad that Pocket isn't hiring hah!)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] veethree:
This has now worked for me quite consistently for about a week or so. Has anyone else tried it? Is it fixed or am I just lucky/doing something right?

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] veethree:
I'm running LeeDroid HC 4.3.0, together with the standard Sense launcher and Go Launcher HD. I also make sure to exit Pocket in an article, not the list view. Beyond that, I wish I knew what I was doing right!

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibyellow:
After searching the forums i still havent found a solution.

The problem is i decided to unlock the bootloader using Sony on my Arc S a day ago.

Now when i connect the USB it will not connect to the MSC or MTP though the computer pings and sony companion comes up but says the usual reboot etc.

I have tried all the different combinations of turning USB debug and other things on and off but to no avail.

Has anyone else had this problems and fixed it?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
Try reinstalling PC companion with the option in phone connection.

Sorry to say thats not working :s

Any idea if factory reset may work? Holding off doing that cos hate having to put everything back on lol
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibyellow:
Factory reset did not work :(

Any thought on my next options would be appreciated?

Can i still install a different ROM to the memory card? I have no recovery so i dont know if i can do much of anything?

Thanks for any help.

How did you unlock your bootloader
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imkid5359:
is your camera and home button not functioning too ? reflash back using flashtool or if it doesn't work, use wotanserver..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibyellow:
I now have it running after using Wotanserver twice :s

The only problem now is it wont root (Bootloader is still unloacked, did it via Sony)?

I tried Doomlord but it says read only as it tries to do it.

I dont know how to use flashtools as for some reason it wont install on my computer (possible Kasperski stopping this).

How do you reinstall the ADB drivers cos i think that may be the problem.

Try the link at this post
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibyellow:
Managed to get flash tools installed and that rooted it :)

It now wont update OTA so wondered if sony companion will update but will flash tools root after?

Lots of thanks to everyone for there help seems i have question after question lol.

Just when i think i know what i'm doing i get another phone and it starts again. Sticking with sony now though even if they dont have Gorrilla glass ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imkid5359:
you can't update via Sony Companion / OTA because you have unlocked bootloader..

The theory test that I tried erased my IMEI and baseband completely. I wonder if it's because I used echo instead of echo -n? I'll try again after I restore from Nandroid (I tried it twice, and both time same results)

EDIT: oh I know why, on your tutorial you left out a line to chown radio.radio nv_data.bin Just did that and now it works!

very exciting news!!!!!!!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ygvuhb:
hi can anyone build a app:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] etche:
Hi, sory I'm really new on this..

How can I make a TAR backup of this folder? (I'm not sure how to do this with busybox)

I was only able to copy the entire folder to my pc. I "need" to do this backup before starting flashing anything.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albsat:
Till an app is built, I wish some good soul could make at least a bash script to run it from computer or from a mobile shell...I am not good at using "grep" or "sed" command.

That would complete the excellent JUP insight on this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jup007:
Good info, thanks. I'll update the initial post. I used busybox cp which preserves permissions but if you use other methods, yes, you need to make sure the file has correct permission. It seems logical that when radio process can't read or write to it, it doesn't know how to read/update the file and just ends up with all zeros/question marks IMEI. So that's another phone state explained. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jup007:
I know. If nobody picks this up, I may write some script in future, but don't expect it to happen this week. I already lost enough time on this plus I believe it's good to test on people who know their way around bash first before writing an app/script. If you break something by hand, you probably have general idea how to fix it. If script breaks something, I will have to go into hiding.;)

It's not like there wouldn't be too much hurry anyway. Generic IMEI mostly works just fine. And this thread so far seems to confirm that permanent unlock & unique IMEI is possible. And rest assured, if it's possible, there will be automated way in near future. So those who don't dare to play with it by hand, you can still sleep more lightly now and survive on generic IMEI few more days.

# busybox tar -cvf /sdcard/factory.tgz /factory

This assumes you have busybox installed. It's good idea to do it while /factory is still read only mounted.

Then just on computer do:

adb pull /sdcard/factory.tgz .

and save it somewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albsat:
It would be great to have a script just for the what you called 1. Theory test (reasonably SAFE) at least.

---------- Post added at 10:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM ----------

Question please.

When I issue the command

I get two lines with two different correct MD5. So in total it mentions 4 md5 sums.

Which is the correct one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jup007:
There should be two, that's correct. You need to run the next command I wrote in that post, # cat /factory/nv_data.bin.md5 . This will only match one of the lines (it must match exactly the code in "orignal md5" section on one line). That's your line and computed md5 there is the one that needs to be in md5.

The other line belongs to /factory/.nv_data.bak .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ygvuhb:
if i used temp unlock in ****docomo (keep original imei)

is this method also work ? and get a perm unlock?

or i have get a forever unlock 1st(wrong imei)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albsat:
Hi,

Just to confirm that the first method worked perfectly. I managed to do it just by phone using terminal application and a file manager like ES File.

I will try the second and permanent method when I get back home.

Great job JUP!!!!

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ----------

@Jup

Another idea. Following the first temporary unlock method, I have this idea.

If we unlock temporary the files, can a backup of correct files from /data/radio be used again in case of a factory reset or new rom install? In such case, we can make a CWM package of these files and install it through CM recovery or through a file manager.

What do you think?

@Admin

Please make this thread a sticky. There are so many Docomo users that will be happy with Jup's work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chlehqls:
Wow, this is pretty incredible. I didn't think your theory would actually work but since it's confirmed by others this is fantastic.

I hope this method transcends what it is now.

Update: I'll be trying this method and I'll be willing to test out things should you need me. I'm not too confident in my ability but know how to follow explicit details.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jup007:
I am pretty sure this will work. Once you have correct set of files from /data/radio, you can make backup of them and restore them after wipe. Heck, I am quite sure this is what "condom" functionality of current fdocomo.apk does - it keeps backup of these files somewhere and can just restore them after wipe. No need to touch /factory at all. The only thing here is, you still have to do this restore manually after wipe. If you modify /factory, you should not have to worry and it may increase resale value of your phone quite a bit - if you have, for the same price, device that keeps IMEI after wipe and device that needs to run some wierd app, which will you buy?;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jup007:
I don't think it will work with temp unlock.

But honestly, I don't really know how temp unlock of fdocomo apk works because negri phone I got was already perm unlocked. I believe it uses some vulnerability in 4.0.3 and earlier versions to get correct md5 sum for files in data, so more or less it does similar thing to theory test by different means. However, I don't know how it modifies the files in /factory - according to author, it does modify one, not the other. And this method relies on the fact that you have both of files in /factory (nv_data.bin & .nv_data.bak) are in unlocked state. Which is done by perm unlock.

Strictly speaking, you don't need fdocomo for this method to work. You could achieve same results by using hexedit and unlocking factory nv_data files by hand. It's just much more convinient this way.;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ygvuhb:
thanks i will try this later
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albsat:
Just to confirm that even the second method worked perfectly. You can do all the procedure by your phone alone using a terminal and Root Explorer.

Thanks again jup007. Please add Docomo or Negri at subject. I think there will be more people interested.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slickromeo:
I 2nd the proposal to please add Negri or Docomo to the subject line.

also, i 2nd the proposal to make this thead a sticky. there are so many people concerned about this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
Could also maybe clean up the instructions a bit and slim it down?

So I'm gonna try this out, but basically. Do we have to do theory 1 in order to do theory 2? or can we just go straight to theory 2 if we already have perm unlock with generic IMEI?

The backing up thru busybox code you put would also be helpful if you just put it in at Theory 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rickmarz:
Just tried this and worked perfectly thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metroidnemesis13:
I just flashed CM10 and it kept the correct IMEI. So yeah. Good job guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petarsson:

1d59633bec8ef63d414e438ab9276be8

is this normal? what shall I do next?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badtzo:
Yes it's ok, now you must change md5 in /data/radio for the "computed" one.

If you follow all the steps on 1st post you'll get full unlock, just remember computed1 and computed2 is not the same, both of them are writen in nv.log if you read some lines before/after the one you put here there is another "computed md5 'xxxxxxxxx' that's computed2.

Also if you preffer or doesn't understand the process, you can download fdocomo v3.1. Run it on 4.0.4 and it will do all the work for you (remember you must get root and busybox).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bel3atar:
Back in 4.0.4 I used fdocomo and it changed my IMEI to a generic one. Now I'm on 4.1.1 with generic IMEI.

What is wrong with generic IMEI? I can make and receive calls. Will the provider block me one day?

And if I want to go with the method in the post, will it work on 4.1.1 ?

edit: one more thing, so computed in my case is 608188a38facabf5bc2d360444b5c35b right? it is confusing because it doesn't appear in th computed column...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badtzo:
You must follow all this steps to get properly working sim free but now that you have generic IMEI you must run "lock" in f**docomo app to get back your correct IMEI (you will need it).

Your computed is this:

It value could change once you relock your device and unlocking it again, use the newest not this one.

For example mine nv.log prompt this:

Sat Jul 21 04:49:18 2012: MD5 fail. orignal md5 'e9b45644baa09c43fb8b6a75b797b920' computed md5 'dcfced79u7086df43f51ea22a7451d8b5' (rild)

Sat Jul 21 04:49:18 2012: MD5 fail. orignal md5 '56751e302fa8bd01a7d73546bf969b72' computed md5 '7dbe0bcac101022e1df687ed396ec114' (rild)

Then you look this is computed strings

Computed1: 7dbe0bcac101022e1df687ed396ec114

Computed2: dcfced79u7086df43f51ea22a7451d8b5

with this information follow all the steps on opening post (in ICS 4.0.4) and you will get correct IMEI and sim unlock forever.

Very important to follow the recomendation about putting into airplane mode your phone as it is marked on first post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ixampl:
Any idea how to do this on JB so... 4.1.1?

I originally actually wanted to just buy the unlock from a DoCoMo shop, but they said they would now definitely not give me the code (they used to do so for a while but now they claim, the latest update... mind you that's 4.0.4... fixed the relocking issues... I don't believe it).

Now... assume I get it unlocked by them...

1. Is there a way to figure out the unlock code once it is unlocked?

2. Alternatively, if it's not possible to just figure out the unlock code from the unlocked state. Is there a way to extract / preserve the "unlock data" so that I can always manually restore the unlock. ?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badtzo:
@ixampl

No, you can't. That's the reason I wrote you need to get back to 4.0.4

@colonelcack

This is a trick to get sim-unlock, you don't need to do it if you already can change sims and use different voice&data providers.

Send a message to jup007 he wrotes on Opening Post that he knows something about it.
