[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SubyWill:
Like with the TWRP recovery, I went to wipe, I hit factory reset, then cache, then dalvik cache and then flashed the ROM and GAPPS and all my apps and settings stayed the same. It was like if I had dirty flashed it. I don't understand what's going on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
Try that additional step too. May or may not help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SubyWill:
What does that do exactly? Would I have to worry about my media and sd card being wiped?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
No, all music, pictures ect will still be in place.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SubyWill:
Okay thank you, I guess this time in TWRP I'll do factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and system and see if it works out :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SubyWill:
Okay, so I did factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and format system.

I flashed M5 and GAPPS, rebooted and everything was still the same. My phone did not fully wipe.

I don't understand what's going. I'm so frustrated right now:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gee2012:
I would do a factory reset, if that doesn`t help flash a stock rom and root your phone again. BTW don`t you have a nandroid backup to revert to :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SubyWill:
I have a nandroid backup, but that doesn't solve the problem of my phone not wiping.

I guess I'll unroot my phone and lock the bootloader and re-do everything to see. I don't understand why my phone isn't wiping correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
sometimes cwm just doesnt work with factory wipe. i've used it a few times now and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. i have no idea why. you can try doing a factory wipe from the phone settings>backup and reset. ive only done that twice but it worked both times. if that still doesnt work just go with a fresh flash of google images using fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gee2012:
Init.d folders can only be wiped with a factory reset afaik, or manualy off course. By locking and unlocking the phone you perform a factory reset anyway, so i would flash a stock rom and start fresh. No chance on left files or scripts. You can do it with GNex Toolkit, option 8. Put the downloaded and not extracted .tgz file here C:\Galaxy Nexus ToolKit\put_google_factory_image_here and flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SubyWill:
Thanks guys, I'll try that!

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voluptuary:
The reason I ask is because I found a big one. Well for MS it's big. It allows for an end user to 'buy' apps/games from the on device marketplace without actually paying anything. The app purchase appears in your history and can be redownloaded at anytime just as with any legitimately purchased app. This can all be done on an unmodified device pretty simply and if the device is dev unlocked it can be done REALLY easily. Sadly this doesn't help any of us in the interop/full unlock area as it has more to do with purchase validation than code validation.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigJeff:
I would say ask Microsoft. But you should turn it in regardless, not because of morals but because it could hurt our ecosystem/chance of WP success if someone with the wrong hands found it. Plus since your a recognized dev I'm sure you wouldn't like your work getting stolen ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
He-he, MS marketplace scheme is full of bugs but I don't think they will pay you something.

Good example is ChevronWP: for their great and early find MS "paid" (actually just let 'em do the job) for $100K total, it means one year job (OK, may be a moonlight job) for each team member for $30K? (Don't forget: they prepared some backend, payment system, databases etc. etc. etc - lot of pain in the a$$)

C'mon, you may earn that money for pizza delivery! :D

BTW, nice find, good job, congrats!

P.S. voluptuary, if you have some direct MS contacts (4 example, your MS evangelists, or some MS insiders - middle level managers or developers etc.), try to contact these guys first.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
I don't believe MS has bug-bounties for external finds, though you could always try negotiating with them (I don't recommend it, they may get litigious if they think you're trying to extort them). They do however generally deal fairly with external finds (i.e. if they don't think you're being abusive and are acting in good faith, they'll be appreciative unlike some companies which would immediately unleash the lawyers).

I'm with @jeffreygtab on this, also; anything that makes app piracy really easy needs to be dealt with for the good of the platform. Android frequently loses notable devs who don't want to deal with an unreliable market. WP7 doesn't need that kind of bad rap; it's hard enough just getting the market share.

The implication that it can be done without having dev-unlock is interesting... and a bit scary. That needs to be patched immediately. MS knows that some dev-unlock is used for piracy (that's why there's the 10-app limit by default) but if it can be done on a dev-locked phone, that needs to be fixed immediately. It's also going to be easier for somebody unscrupulous to repeat this now that they know it's possible.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
Agree 100% with GoodDayToDie! So, voluptuary, please try to keep your find in secret and do not share with anybody (including recognized developers and friends from XDA), it's kinda dangerous (GoodDayToDie is 200% right). If you want and don't have direct contacts in MS, let me know, I can try contact my guys ASAP. PM or email me.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juzz86:
Thoroughly impressed that you guys have the foresight to see this for what it is, as opposed to just extorting it for personal gain. Truly shows where your hearts lie, and it's refreshing to see.

The three of you are a credit to the WP7 scene here, even if it's just in the eyes of a rookie Mod :)

I tip my hat to you.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
He-he, from my own experience. In 2006 I've found (accidentally) a very critical vulnerability for ALL Microsoft operating systems: from Windows 95 to latest Vista or Windows Server 2003!

That simple Pascal code (but can be C or whatever; also you'll never suspect something wrong in this code!)

program reboot;
uses
windows;
var
pData: pointer;
Info: TBitmapInfo;
Width, Heigth: dword;
ImageDc: HDC;
Bitmap: HBITMAP;
begin
Width := 640;
Heigth := 480;
ImageDc := GetDc(0);
Bitmap := CreateCompatibleBitmap(ImageDc, Width, Heigth);

GetMem(pData, Width*Heigth*8);
ZeroMemory(@Info, sizeof(TBitmapInfo));
Info.bmiHeader.biSize := sizeof(TBitmapInfo);
Info.bmiHeader.biWidth := Width;
Info.bmiHeader.biHeight := Heigth;
Info.bmiHeader.biPlanes := 1;
Info.bmiHeader.biBitCount := 32;
Info.bmiHeader.biCompression := BI_BITFIELDS;

GetDiBits(ImageDc, Bitmap, 0, Width, pData, Info, DIB_RGB_COLORS);
end.

(I'm publishing that code 'cause issue already resolved by MS)

causes immediate crash of any MS OS and push system to reboot, even without BSOD! If you have a MSDN 2005, you can easy reproduce that bug.

But... I wrote 5 (five!) emails to MS until issue wasn't resolved (at April 3-rd, 2007). Try to guess, how I was rewarded? Yep, for a real hacker "sorry" and "thanks" from the Microsoft Security Response Center stuff is best award :D
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voluptuary:
I never intended on sharing this with the dark underworld of the internet since it has no real use aside from piracy, but I had just read about Google's bounties for bugs so I figured I'd ask. I have to do a little more testing to make sure it's not just a backend glitch with my account but after I know for sure I'll submit a report to... someone. I'll figure that out later too.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc9420:
as far as I remember there was a glitch with apps purchased and cancelled right away...someone posted here months ago something about an app that kept on reinstalling.

Glitches like these are like CC errors you see published on news papers...even if you WILL explain it, M$ will remotely erase it once they realize that there's no dineros paid...

As for piracy, only a few words: sideloading due to custom ROMs,wp marketplace, Milkman, Navigon, Nokia Apps...even running Tango could be seen as piracy; piracy is like a BJ, it depends on which end you are.

Anyway, congrats on your clean WP roms, no pun intended, they are awesome for being clean of skins and icons and so on.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Ahaha, nice find @sensboston. I once went to MS talk where they were discussing some piece of Windows malware they'd dissected. They discussed the various exploits it had used, and at one point during the talk said something like this:

"... so for the next part it exploited a vulnerability called Win32k.sys - I mean, a vulnerability in Win32k.sys - to access the kernel..."

Win32k.sys is where all the DIB stuff, among other things, lives. It's a huge mass of very high-performance code that runs in kernel mode to avoid even the (trivial, these days) performance hit of a ring switch... but it's also very old code (the oldest parts are from the mid-90s) and apparently every time they have to fix something in it there are a bunch of regressions due to the change, so apparently the Windows team is scared to touch it...

I don't know anybody on the WP7 team, but I do know some people at Microsoft if you want me to put you in touch with them. Do verify the bug first, of course, but I suggest doing so with free apps if possible...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinobisoft:
Is it possible to open a connected android device, in windows, with a file handle? If so, is there then the possibility to seek to a specific offset to read/write to the device?

Here's my problem. I bricked my LG thrive and its stuck in emergency mode. I remember turning off usb debugging, which i think is part of the problem. I've tried almost every available method mentioned here at xda to unbrick it to no avail. I really don't want to ship the phone back to LG. I am a C programmer for windows. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakuburban:
Turned off USB debugging. Oh that's crappy. I made program that is using the adb commands to explore the phone, but it needs usb debugging (90% sure). You can try it if You want but I think it won't help. Link is below

I too have written a windows based file explorer GUI for adb. However, it doesn't help me to solve my problem.

I believe I also flashed the wrong recovery to the device as well.

I have another thrive, but it is physically older than the one I bricked. That's partially why I'd like to keep trying to repair it.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal87:
is it theoretically possible for the touchpad to run a psp emulator if one was written for it?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
The TouchPad can run anything that is written for it. The problem is writing one for it
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal87:
i should have asked, is it powerful enough to run it? i know nothing of coding, but would love to see a psp emulator working on our touchpads
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squishyfishy:
I'm gonna say no. Emulation generally requires hardware that's around 10x more powerful. The PSP was underclocked at 222mhz, but its hw was 333mhz.

Even windows lacks a decent psp emulator. Only one I've seen that worked was on my PS3 with a cobrausb stick in it. Sony once coded a psp emu for the PS3 and then never bothered with it apparently.

My suggestion. Buy one. They're dirt cheap. Grab one of the microsd convertors, flash a custom firmware and then play whatever you want.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
I have never seen a smooth emulator past a PS1 emulator. Anything made after that has been slow in my experience. Even on my PC. But then again, my TouchPad is probably more powerful than my PC. I have a crappy computer. lol
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal87:
i already have 2, a slim and a pspgo, both with custom firmware, and i use the cobrausb as well, which is nice, but it would be nice on my tp, so i have one less thing to carry.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Winklie:
I have looked and read and cannot find anything specific about this topic for THIS PHONE.

I asked my question in the Phone Bricker thread, and LilChris advised me to look elsewhere as he had no answer.

My question is this;

Is it worth using this script on this phone (AT&T Running international software base (Phone Bricker), and just what does it do, at least from a Kernel's point of view. I am already running NEAK, and it has a lot of settings, on top of Vert's theme and a custom ROM, I am wondering if this is not only safe to use, but if it makes any sense.

Thanks in advance for any non flame replies!

;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
You made me sound like I didn't want to help. Lol

I just haven't had time to test it myself since I am always flashing new stuff for future updates. ;)

Will be looking at this for some feedback as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
I've used it before, yes it works and your phone definitely feels a lot faster. That said, I haven't tried it with ics yet. So no idea if it'd play nice. May wanna ask him in his thread?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Winklie:
That's an excellent point. I'll give that a try.

As for LilChris, your always most helpful, but I would assume you have your limits as well. As this is an add-on and there are thousands of them, I don't know what I was thinking.

Honestly I was afraid to get flamed so I posted it in the Phone Bricker forums. Too many trolls/flamers here for my liking.

;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jasvncnt1:
I have been using it on every ROM I have flashed. Never had a problem with it. Works out great for me...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Winklie:
Well after posting in Zepplinroxx' forum, I was assured that the script would work fine with no danger to the phone. As it's just a script it would (in theory) work in almost all Android devices.

[HTC One S] Gaba90:
hello everybody, my phone fell down on monday and the body got scratched, as i can see from the pictures posted here, i think i could replace it because of the mao failure issue, do you think it´s worth a try ? the phone is 3 weeks old

here are some pictures of it
[HTC One S] nickmv:
If you're getting scratches that AREN'T due to the fall, then you should be able to return it. HTC has said that anyone with issues with it can return their device. Despite the damage that the fall caused, the MAO coating is faulty, and you should be good to go.
[HTC One S] Gaba90:
well i only had 2 scratches from the mao issues, that´s why i´m asking if it looks different from mao failure or does it look like real scratches ?
[HTC One S] psych0t1c:
Those pics are way too blurry to take a guess.

What you dropped it on? Rocks, pavement, wooden front porch? The chips or flakes of MAO come off pretty clean, I guess if HTC gets a phone that has clearly visible scratches next to a "chip" they could decline free repair, because those scratches are a pretty sure fire way to tell.
[HTC One S] TrueGenome:
Circumstancial

It depends. If you're going to take it back to a retailer, it'll be a coin toss. Due to Loss Prevention policies implemented by many retailers, they've become more and more stringent on exchanges. If you're willing to send it to HTC, I'm sure they'll send you a new/refurbished one since they've acknowledged the MAO issue.
[HTC One S] aureleuz:
Couldn't hurt to try.

But still it depends much on the way you dropped it (and on what). Mine fell from my pocket the other day and didn't get as scratched as one would have expected.

But I'm one of them with "a lucky phone" that doesn't have the flaw coating issue

If you put some good effort into it - you will most likely get it repaired.;)
[HTC One S] Gaba90:
i have been at the retailer´s store and showed them the "coating issues", they asked if i have my bill and everything with me (i didn´t because i just wanted to check if it is possible) and they said i should come back with everything and then i will get a new phone

edit: i have to unroot/relock bootloader if i´m returning it right?
[HTC One S] TrueGenome:
Recommended

It's recommended that you wipe your phone to get rid of any personal information but most retailers won't check to see if the phone is rooted. As long as you are still at the stock ROM, then the sales associate may or may not have the ability to tell you have rooted it but they will most likely not care.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nighthawk626:
sounds stupid i know but is this remotely possible?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] najaboy:
Gonna go out on a limb and say "no." Even if it did happen, the phone would be a guaranteed brick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
no. if you flash it successfully, you will brick your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nighthawk626:
crap, thanks guys. another idea, ever notice how the HTC Rezound has all that antenna looking thing on the back cover and if you remove the back, you'll get terrible signal, what if there was a way to get something like that on the backing of the nexus? just thinking out loud here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
yes its called "buy a rezound"

[myTouch 4G General] mattbradfo:
I'm pretty sure you have to be unrooted & on stock if you want the update.
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
And installing that update could cost you S-OFF if its packing a bootloader.
[myTouch 4G General] eqjunkie829:
You don't want the update if you are rooted! Anything tmo wants to send to your phone is old crappy software that you don't want on your phone. Why are people so worried about what the carrier's are trying to send through ota?
[myTouch 4G General] JosephL:
How can I turn the auto update off? It keeps popping up and won't go away.
[myTouch 4G General] eqjunkie829:
Are you using the stock rom that came with the phone?
[myTouch 4G General] JosephL:
Royal Glacier Rom.
[myTouch 4G General] eqjunkie829:
It's probably because you are on a froyo based rom. Try a gingerbread rom and the notification may go away.
[myTouch 4G General] Luigiesin:
I'm almost certain you need to be un-rooted for Tmo to be able to detect your system.

Try un-rooting the phone first and check for system update.

How do I disable or get rid of the annoying system update?
[myTouch 4G General] The Archangel:
Flash a new ROM, or extract from cyanogenmod the fotakill apk. Put that in the system/apps then reboot.
