Don't rush

Hi,

I follow the instruction on the above threat & work 100%.

After rooting & install link2sd, my screen menu icon can delete. I don't know what happen but after I'm reboot the SGA, some icon on the menu screen is missing. So, I create it back.

Today, already day 2 and every think running well.

Btw, can you read the thread slowly. Because upd_1.zip file already can d/l at one of you thread reply :)

Peace!

which rom & kernal are you using?

we are all trying to help you here, we dont have to, no need to get angry :o

as an0nym0us_ said try using cf root here

u r late bro ... he is allegedly buying a sgs3
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] K.A.:
Allegedly??? LOLwut? :p:p

Read this: :p

In recent years it has become common for speakers to include allegedly in statements that are controversial or possibly even defamatory. The implication is that, by saying allegedly , the speaker is distancing himself or herself from the controversy and even protecting himself or herself from possible prosecution. However, the effect created may be deliberate. The use of allegedly can be a signal that, although the statement may seem outrageous, it is in fact true. Conversely, it is also possible to use allegedly as an expression of ironic scepticism.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Fly-High:
Hi jithendra194,

if you already flashed the clockworkmode this could be the problem!

I know a friend who had to flash stockrecovery again, before rooting his device.

Rooting wasn't possible by using the clockworkmode, but with stock recovery rooting was successfully ;)

So you can try flashing the stock recovery first (from here) and after it you should flash the upd_1.zip (from here)

Good luck ;)

[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
After the success of Smart Screen OFF, I decided to publish another app called Smart Screen ON available in LITE and PRO version too.

Smart screen ON

Smart Screen ON LITE

DESCRIPTION:

Smart screen ON is an innovative app which turns your proximity sensor into a power button. If you have a big phone with no physical button on the front(Galaxy Nexus for example, you can turn on or turn off the phone just tapping or waving your hand (finger) on proximity sensor.

FEATURES:

When you change the settings, remember saving and restarting service using built in app specific button.

There are two mode available, both mode can coexist:

+WAVE MODE:

Wave (move) your hand/finger on proximity sensor, even without touching it.

You can set the amount of waves you want to use to turn on/off screen and the time between each wave.

Do you want to wave your hand quickly or slowly?

+TAP AND SWIPE MODE:

1) Tap proximity sensor using your finger;

2) Wait for the first vibration;

3) Swipe (remove) quickly your finger, before it vibrates for the second time.

You can set the time before the first and the second vibration.

+DISABLE SENSOR

You can also disable sensor after an amount of time you can set in the app panel.

The app will disable the whole service and proximity sensor after X time of inactivity.

+STATISTICS

Statistics include:

A)Smart Screen ONs;

B)Smart Screen OFFs;

C)Total power button saves;

D)The power used by your proximity sensor (which is very very low).

+START ON BOOT

If you check this, the app will start on boot.

+HIDE ICON

If you hide the icon, the app could be instable and could be killed by Android in low memory conditions.

+ENABLE FOR TURNING SCREEN OFF

The app has been created to turn screen off, but I also give you the ability to turn screen off.

+DISABLE WHEN LANDSCAPE

The sensor will stop working when landscape.

+INCOMPATIBILITY

-HTC Desire HD is not compatible with "wave mode" because its proximity sensor doesn't work as it should.

If you want to suggest new features, please contact me on this thread, at ddeleted@gmail.com or use my site www.androidhd.it

first off love the app purchased the full version. i have a evo lte and when i disable the lock screen it will still pops up a random times but frequently. even thought in the settings it says no lock screen, i still get the lock screen is there a work around to get that to stop?
[Android Apps and Games] aexol:
Concept is amazing, but how about battery stats? Have someone been using it for some time and can tell me its impact on the battery?
[Android Apps and Games] aSquard:
I purchased it from the Play store (to get rid of the notification bar icon). Works pretty well. I haven't been able to test this and see if running the app tolls the battery more, though I would think it most likely does.

When I wave my hand to wake up my device, it briefly displays my home screen (literally a split second) before the lock screen shows up. I haven't played with the app enough to figure out why it does this, I have my lock screen enabled for the record.
[Android Apps and Games] kc_sheets:
yea mine is disable and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't i haven't been able to figure out why.

i am also having a issue with the brightness on the screen i had it set to auto and when i would turn the screen on the display would become dimmed every now and then and it would stay dimmed until i would go into the brightness area and change the brightness then it would restore to normal. this happened with auto brightness set and manual brightness set.

I downloaded a library book via the Overdrive App. It'sn Adobe Epub file. However, I mistakenly wrote it to "My Library" while downloading. Now, it won't open in Overdrive, only in My Library. Not a big deal. Just wondering how I can change this as it appears to be locked out of Overdrive Media Console. I'd like to read it in OMC. Yeah, it's probably all due to DRM (and I do have the tablet/Overdrive App authorized with Adobe for reading their DRM files)

Odd problem when i turn on the phone, i notice on bootanimation there is one red pixel or when i charge the phone off, now what i did is get pixel checker and when i use black like in the starup animation i dont see that 1 red pixel.. is this normal ?

Im thinking if it was stuck it would be stuck anytime black is shown but it only happen on boot up and charging when off btw the pixel does not stay red either it goes back to black while booting up... very odd

Hey guys

I rooted my Note and after few reboots my phone stocked on splash screen with logo Rogers. If i understood right I had a problem with new ROM.

Then I flashed my phone via Odin using pda-odin-rogers-stock-system-boot.tar. rebooted and I thought my phone works fine but I have new problem- phone doesnt see sim card. After I flashed modem via CWM using Rogers-Modem-CWM.zip but still have the same problem- NO SIM card...

I did it following this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1630843

Maybe some of you know what to do or any ideas how to solve this problem?

Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
What sim? Did you have to flash the radio at some point? The rom usually doesnt touch the radio unless you used an exe like the ICS leaks.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] FrolToronto:
I have sim card from Koodo.

I tried to fix this problem with sim card and thought at some point it would help.

I reverted regular GB folowed all steps in thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1630843

These are Odin-flashable .tars of the stock Rogers system, boot/kernel, and radios and can be used to revert to stock.

Files Available

NB: All files are zipped to save space. Please extract the .tar before flashing via Odin.

pda-odin-rogers-stock-system-boot.zip This .tar contains the stock system.img.ext4 and stock boot.img and can be used to assist in resetting your flash counter using braway's method. Flash it via Odin's pda option. The recovery.img has been removed to preserve CWM if you've already flashed it to your phone. Once your flash counter has been reset, you can then return recovery to stock via this method using just the recovery.img file in the archive here.

phone-odin-rogers-stock-radio.zip This .tar contains the stock Bell modem/radio and is flashed via Odin's phone option. Not working properly. Apparently I don't know how to make Odin flashable modem .tars, lol

Rogers-Modem-CWM.zip This is a CWM-flashable .zip of the modem files. Should work perfectly. Let me know if you run into any problems.

Phone looks like new but doesnt work with sim cards.

When I was flashing first time I had sim card inserted could it damage radio or modem during the flashing?

Now I have a pretty nice small tablet for 550$)))

I was wondering if in repair store someone can help me to fix it after all my actions)))) but I still dont give up.

It will be last time when I modify my devices))) Lol

Now I dont know have to live without phone. Yesterday, when bricked my phone, I even didnt have alarm clock so I seted up timer on my appliance on kitchen:D

Alright I did find a forum where this should be posted but due to restrictions I said I would post it here the forum was http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622425

I have searched through all that forum and tested every method to try and get my issue resolved.

DEVICE INFO:

Device : Acer Iconia A500

Android version : 4.0.3

Kernal: 2.6..39.4+

Image Version: Acer _AV041_A500_RV03RC01_WW_GEN1

Image P/N: FM.S14A0.00U

Bootloader Version 0.03.12-ICS

Tablet is also Rooted

The issue is that when I attempt to enter recovery it says

" Erasing Cache beofre SD Update...

SD Update cmd: recovery

--update_package=SDCARD: Update.zip

Booting recovery kernal image

Recovery verified failed ... "

I have tried putting an update.zip file on both the internal and external SD card but issue still happens.

The next issue is that when I try flash the bootloader using the information in the above forum It just continously hangs and looking at the cmd output it has an error

Flashing bootloader: ics_boot_unlk_V4.bin ...

Nvflash started

[resume mode]

Formatting partition 4 please wait.. Command Execution failed cmd 13, error 0x12

I have attempted to remove the batch script that formats the partitions but that still doesnt work.

I have attempted the bootloader flash both manually using the CMD and the automatically using the A500APXFlashing tool.

I have tried all issue resolutions in the forums above but still not working

Any help would be great

Thanks in advance

ADDITIONAL INFO:

In the normal operations the tablet works fine it is boots into android ICS without any problems

SBK is right

Used the blackthund3r apx flash utility and the simple method for rooting

Try Skrilax's bundle market repo bundle #4 (see his boot loader thread for the URL, input it into the bundle market then choose bundle 4). Press yes to stage for flash when you download

I have tried that method and it just hangs and doesnt do anything and the tablet says entering download mode not APX mode

Any other ideas?
[Acer Iconia A500] Skrilax_CZ:
Well, the thing is that you have to dump your bct from the tablet and decrypt it with SBK and read odmdata from that. No real guide exists for this, BCT is first 4k bytes from mmcblk0 (w/o partition), and used method is aes. It's 2:46 AM now, so just very basic info:

A) dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/bct.enc bs=4096 count=1

B) Pull bct.enc to PC

C) Decrypt with AES using SBK as the key (remove the "0x" and join it)

D) odmdata parameter is on 0xFE4 in bct (little endian)

And if you repartition the tablet, you have do it again.

That's what causes the issues, blackthund3r's app uses the most common bct. Seems like we'll have to automate this.
[Acer Iconia A500] steokeogh:
Thanks for the further TS but I cannot seem to find the files you mention above.

Would you be able to give me more broken down steps to try fix this? Thanks

Also I saw that blackthund3r has released a new version of the tool. It mentions in the post some of the things you mention in yours is the tool now updates to automate the process you were talking about.
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
Hmm. Well the tool has ADB already integrated. If you have a copy of the bct decryption utility (its download link is currently down AFAIK) then I would happily work with you in producing the updated version of the flash tool to support this. I can easily get dd etc for windows and script the production of the data. Assuming the SBK is correct we should even be able to read raw bytes from the flash and produce the mmcblk0_start from APX Mode.

Would this help us? http://git.chromium.org/gitweb/?p=chromiumos/third_party/cbootimage.git
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
I haven't worked on this yet but I would be interested in doing so. The decryption iirc is done with openssl. I'll look around and let you know when I find the steps. What we can do so far:

A) use a terminal emulator or adb shell to run

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0_start bs=4096 count=1

B) copy /sdcard/mmcblk0_start to your PC
[Acer Iconia A500] Skrilax_CZ:
Well, sp3dev posted a way here (for linux / cygwin):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1514951

The openssl cmd is:

openssl aes-128-cbc -K $SBK -iv 0 -d -in $FTMP -out $FOUT

About the decryption, in short:

I believe .NET AES decryptor is this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.cryptography.aes.aspx

Set initialization vector to all zeroes, and the key:

If your SBK is "0x09A81E00 0xD4531301 0x3B1AF703 0x9A052103" it becomes 09A81E00D45313013B1AF7039A052103.

Haven't tried the .NET way yet. But it works when the ouptut isn't just some random crap, say I dunno: 0xFD0 - 0xFDF should be all zeroes for instance?
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
Aha! That's the openssl command I was thinking of. I'll look into .Net cryptography and see if I can write a function for it but it might be easier to just script the Unix tools as-is. I'll play with it now and get back to you on it

EDIT: I get a bad decryption error with my SBK / openssl / mmcblk0_start
[Acer Iconia A500] eppeP:
Your mmcblk0_start is probably not containing an even number of blocks, AES 128 work on blocks of 16 bytes (128 bits).

So if the size of the file is not a multiple of 16 bytes the decryption will fail in the end.

Decrypting like that will technically give an incorrect result as not all data is encrypted.

In the BCT the first block (of 16 bytes) is a hash for the following 4064 bytes, and since we are using cipher block chaining including this in the decryption will mess up the decryption of the second block (which should have been the first block). But in this case we probably do not really care about the 2nd block.
[Acer Iconia A500] kylereid:
Hey guys,

I just bought the a500 yesterday (sweet deal on kijiji), updated to stock ICS, rooted, and used the "alternative flashing mode" to get bootloader and cmw. upon booting into cmw i have the same issues listed here. i'm reading through and clearly this is recent.

i'm no dev, but i've fought with the LG Optimus 3d (p920/p925) for the last few months. So I'm ready for a good fight (hoped to God that this device wouldn't have near the problems lol).

But, would this is be stock ICS, possible Canada version, problem? If there's anything I can do to help out the devs let me know. this dead looking green droid with an exclamation mark encased in a red triangle is frustrating! ahahaha. just want to try out some great custom ROMs!!

thanks be to the devs!
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
Hmm. So in that case should I be doing

dd if=mmcblk0_start of=mmcblk0_start_2 bs=4080 count=1; openssl aes-128-cbc -K KEY -iv 0 -d -in mmcblk0_start_2 -out bct.bct

?
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
See the previous few posts. It's to do with generic boot configuration tables. A fix is in the works :)
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Can I ask how u validated the SBK??? Both apxflash and nvflash allow u to enter an incorrect sbk, you will get into apx mode but it will hang....somewhere... stuck at.apx mode, sometimes it will say done but it hasn't? Or hang on formatting......

A500 manager(reboot tab first) and Civs sbk validator r the only sure way of getting the correct sbk
[Acer Iconia A500] eppeP:
That should work, as I wrote the first 32 bytes will be a bit messed up, but I don't think it matters.

If you have raw data from the tab, as for example the BCT discussed earlier here, you can decrypt it and see if it looks valid. Or in the case of the BCT validate the hash (AES-CMAC).

Another option would be to try to use nvflash, the initial commands are encrypted using the SBK (and signed using the same kind of hash as the BCT) so communication will fail immediatly if you don't have the correct key.

If it hangs on formating etc, then the SBK is no the problem. You would not get that far with an incorrect key.
[Acer Iconia A500] Skrilax_CZ:
Ah, so basically:

A) dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=bct.enc bs=4080 skip=16 count=1

B) Decrypt bct.enc with SBK to let's say bct.temp

C) Then final bct.bin is 16 zeroes + bct.temp behind it (seeing also flash.bct in EUU, which first 16 bytes has zeroes (the second 16 bytes are zeroes too, but you get that in the decrypted one)

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

Bad SBK in decryption will result to completely random file. Correct bct will have lots of zero bytes for instance.
[Acer Iconia A500] eppeP:
Skip is in number of blocks so that would skip a bit much. Something like

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=bct.enc bs=16 skip=1 count=254

should give you just the data part.
