Could someone lead me to the call rec mode that is in kingdroid rom? Im now on clean note and really liked that feature. I had seen this mod with its own thread but i cannot find it.

Thanks

Download it at google play, type call recorder.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mearoth:
Inspirated by the thread of pawitp (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1791165) I just built a CWM 6.0.1.0 /wo touch on http://builder.clockworkmod.com/. (Finished Build: http://jenkins.cyanogenmod.com/job/recovery/2646/)

It starts up but is not usable since the power button is not recognised and therefore not menu entries can be selected. :crying:

I used

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

and it works if the recovery is entered by Vol- button. Weird enought it can not be entered by

adb reboot recovery

which seems to pop up the stock recovery :confused:

How is this possible? I am still new to the android infrastructure and learning how everything goes but this is something I have not expected...

If someone could enlighten me with facts to this matter I would be grateful.

I will also try to build a touch versionl. That might work better.

Edit: since also pawitp bricked his device i highly recommend to NOT USE ANY CUSTOM RECOVERY until we have found out what causes this bricks!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] nikagl:
Hi mearoth,

My recoveries (see other thread in this forum) are build exactly like that, in my case I used the Dees-Troy fstab file. But... be really, really careful. If you do it this way, backup/restore and format stuff may brick your device. We've had one guy that had a simple FOTA bricking his device, so again... be really really careful...

Regards,

Nika.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] BENETNATH:
just as a comparison :

fstab from dees-troy :

can it be only a problem of partition size that cause the crash of data partition ?

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mearoth:
Could be well.

I currently try to build CWM and CM10 on my ubuntu machine and have taken the repositories of pawitp as starting point and have found that A700 and A510 have slightly different partition sizing reguarding the APP partition. But that should not be a matter.

pawtip has also changed the following in his repository from recovery.fstab

/data ext4 /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/UDA length=-1081344

Since partition sizes of /data are the same on A510 and A700 that could do the trink as I think pawtip's recovery is working.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] BENETNATH:
it might be a good option to ask to pawtip how he found this value then, can you check with him ?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] paugustin:
Guys be EXTRA carefull. Pawitp just bricked his A700 flashing a new version of CM10 he was working on !!! It's not the first time he flashes but this time the process hanged, he had to reboot and now his tablet is stuck in APX mode (which is bad).

I suggest we all stop messing around too much much until we know more about those brick issues...
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] nikatest:
I just heard he also bricked his device :(

---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------

Haha.. sorry, using my test account to see whether I can respond to dev-threads which works fine and also now say you already responded...
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mearoth:
I hear you and I think you are right. I will try digging a bit deeper into the whole flashing issue. Perhaps we can also investigate further in getting the sbk in order to enable us the APX flashing. I will try contacting Acer Europe once more.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] BENETNATH:
For my knowledge, can you explain me how you get the mength value for the fstab ??

because the recovery you have created was with "length=-32768"
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mearoth:
The "length=-32768" was just a value I have taken over by the nexus i think. however.

I just had a deeper look at the raw content of the mmc (dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/data/mmcblck0-40000 count=40000) and have found something like a partition table at offset 0x30.00.00 . Since I believe it is not a regular partition table (nothing I know yet to be honest) I have not found out the sizes and offsets of the partitions. What I have found out though, is the fact that there are far more partitions than we know. Here comes the list in the order as they are in the RAW:

BCT <- (EDIT: Boot Config Table - contains HW timings etc. .. first siginficant offset in raw at 0x10 00 00)

PT <- (Partition Table - only a guess but the data is in the second significant offset at 0x30 00 00)

EBT <- EDIT: first Bootloader - when finished -> loads either LNX or SOS to go on in boot chain

EKS

DE1

GP1

-- Then comes the ones we already know:--

SOS

LNX

APP

CAC

MSC

FLX

AKB

USP

DE2

UDA

-- And one more we do not know:

GPT <- This could be a second partition table. this would not be unusual to have the table doubled at beginning and end. but I have not checket yet.

And here comes a possible explanation for the bricks: could it be since we do not have this in our fstab and the lengh value of UDA beeing probably incorrect that at some point when flashing the system overwrites bytes of this partition destroing the PT ? --> brick because bootloader can not determin right partition sizing any more. also this could happen at some point only when bytes are written to the GPT without us knowing. so flashing might work several times until it happens to strike this partition.

What do you think?

I will definitly investigate a bit more on that matter.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] BENETNATH:
thanks for this

might be useful..

we need more gurus on that point, who can we reach to help us ? koush ?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mearoth:
I just got a reply from pawitp via pm:

So my guess was wrong. -> back to start.

I will nevertheless have a look at those hidden partitions. Some guru might really help but I don't know enought people here due to having been inactive for a long time.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] BENETNATH:
good to know too.. strange
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] jokerzlh:
hi, any news for building the new CWM? :o
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mearoth:
Nah. I first want to know what causes all the bricks or have at least a fallback scenario like working APX mode..

Now regarding APX i once more had no luck with acer people to get the sbk... this folk's so unhelpful :thumbdown:

Reguarding bricks pawitp had an idea that the samsung mmc brickbug might be present on our devices and has disabled mmc erase command in the kernel.

Now that is a todo for me for our kernel or i have time to test if our kernels are compatible. Beside this pawitp is not sure if it really IS the mmc bug. But IMHO it is a good guess.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] nikagl:
Well, my device does still come up with APX mode (regardless of the broken screen), so if I ever need to test anything in APX mode for anyone, let me know. I've tried many different versions of nvflash, but nothing worked so far. Best option was one that authenticated to acer, but without the acer username and password or some way to spoof that, I don't think we'll be able to get this going...
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mearoth:
You are right. I got a version of nvflash running on my ubuntu machine but since our device is in APX secure mode the secure boot key is needed in order to do anything usefull with it. As long as we do not have this key we can really only ask acer to give it. There might even be a chance to get it since i heard the a200 sbk was also released. That's what i am currently on. Finding out whom to contact to get the sbk..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WoodroweBones:
I have a different thread in this forum where I was asking slightly different questions... I found some new info and the old title isnt as appropriate anymore so heres the new stuff...

The situation is this. I have a I727R which is the Rogers Galaxy S2 LTE. I am trying to get it on a different network (same frequencies, etc... in fact same towers in many cases). The network I am trying to get onto is MTS.

Previously it seemed the phone was not capable of getting any type of signal as I would never ever see any carriers when I searched for available networks under the "Network Operators" section. However since getting back to the city I can now see one carrier listed as "302660" which according to this site: http://rebelsimcard.com/listed-adde...and-mobile-country-code-mcc.html#.UBbxurSe6So is the mobile network/country code of MTS. Even with my MTS SIM in the phone it wont use this network and on other phones the network actually shows up as MTS and not 302660.

It seems that there is something that I need to do with the Radio to get it working. Not sure if this one is locked in some fashion or what. Has anyone experienced this? Any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
did you try *#2263# or still nothing happens when u enter the service code, my thinking is u have to force it to use a frequency that mts is on even though its the same as rogers, and you are sure its unlocked

edit: almost positive thats the problem, i was mucking around w/that menu and picked something accidently and i lost my connection
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WoodroweBones:
Yeah that menu works if I flash to stock with either GB or ICS but doesnt work in CM9

I have tried all of them. This phone is just stubborn. In another development I actually used ODIN to go back to Stock GB and the phone was just screwed up. So now I'm trying to wipe it completely clean (Wipe Data/Factory Reset x 5, Format System x 5, Format basically anything I could x 5 :p, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik, etc.) then flash to one of the stock images.

I'm also redownloading them both and going to compare the MD5's on them to see if they match or if I had a bad download.

I'm not sure if there is another way to completely wipe the phone clean (as in I dont care/want any data on it...). I see the repartition option but see many warnings about using it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WoodroweBones:
Compared MD5's and they matched on both downloads (different PC, different internet connection) but this time the flash back to stock GB worked (no FCs). However the network still shows up as 302660 instead of "MTS". Using *#2263# I tried leaving it on Automatic, setting it to WCDMA 850 (my GNex is set to WCDMA Preferred), GSM 850, WCDMA ALL and GSM ALL but it always shows up the same and wont let me join (under GSM it doesnt show up at all actually). I didnt touch the LTE menu item because nobody around here has rolled out their LTE network yet

The oddness of these issues actually makes me suspect there are bad "sectors" on the internal memory or something... is there anything to check it?

EDIT: Just another update... using my AT&T SIM in my GNex I can put it on WCDMA Preferred and then search network operators. I get 3 different networks to come up (302220 302610 and CAN Rogers Wireless). If I click on CAN Rogers Wireless the phone gets signal and registers on the network.

If I do the same in the S2 LTE I only see the 302660 network still and cant register on it. The others dont show up at all (not even the Rogers one which is odd to say the least)

Its looking like there is some wierd hardware issue on this phone that I just cant figure out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
the only way to solve this is to do further testing

try skyics 4.2f6, he has all the radios there, try each one and see what happens, when switching different radios flash them twice, the service code 2263 works with this rom

SKY-ICS 4.2F6-2.4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WoodroweBones:
Ok I've typed this post like 8 times and it keeps telling me my post cant be submitted... arrgghhh... here goes again (losing detail as I continue to try)

I've tried your suggestion above with basically the same results. I have made a few more obervations though...

- My MTS SIM doesnt always read and it seems ROM dependent. There are times when I've had it reading the SIM without issue on a ROM then i flash to another ROM and it wont read no matter what I do. However the AT&T SIM reads on every single ROM (still no signal). If i have the patience to continue playing with this phone I might try and narrow down which ROMs will read the card and which wont (then reflash and see if thats still the case)

- With SkyICS when I dont have any SIM inserted (which is the same as having my MTS SIM inserted since it never sees it :p) the phone shows signal! Oddly enough it shows this signal on the LTE band of which no providers in my area have an LTE network (tested by setting the bands using *#2263#). MTS is supposedly getting one later this year/early next year so maybe I'm seeing some sort of test network?

- It almost seems to me like its not actually unlocked (even though we purchased the SIM Unlock code from cellunlocker.net). Not sure how to test it or how to try putting it in again seeing as it never pops up and asks since we unlocked it. How does it know its unlocked once its been done? I mean if I go back to stock through ODIN should it be locked again? My brother replaced 2 pieces of hardware after unlocking it (the SIM reader and the USB port) so not sure if that would have anything to do with it.

At this point I'm almost writing it off as busted. My friend on Rogers is away but thats the last thing I'd like to try is using a Rogers SIM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
The only way to tell if its unlocked is in stock with a sim from another carrier, so if its a rogers phone dont use a rogers sim, when the phone boots it will ask u for the unlock code if its locked, if its unlocked it will just boot into android. Once its unlocked it stays unlocked forever, unless you change the memory chip, wherever that chip is i dont know

Posted w/xda app w/ i727R

MY STICKIES

| ROMS | KERNELS | FIRMWARE | RADIOS | HOWTO'S | GUIDES | INFo |

NEWB GUIDES TO: RESTORE TO STOCK | USE ODIN | INSTALL CWM | ROOT |
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WoodroweBones:
Yeah its unlocked then I guess. I only have non-Rogers SIM cards and its never prompted me since. Think I'll just trash it... maybe I can convince my brother to get a GNex since I know they work :p

Thanks so much for all the suggestions. Your patience and investment in this is very much appreciated!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
Vincom what ICS radios from rogers work on at&t without problems(and RAT unlocked) ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
im using rogers ics radio xlf3, seems all radios work with rogers or att.

i got some news for u, my problem was when i was in toronto i wasnt getting lte, i went to mobile settings and seen it was set to gsm/hspa, so i picked gsm/hspa/lte/ , but would not stick.

so i went into 2263 menu and picked lte, then "all" then left haptic button and hit "end", then i got lte.

when i got home there is no lte so i wasnt getting a signal, data or voice, and i could not pick an operator as none would be visible, nada.

so i did the 2263 menu and chose automatic then hit left haptic button and choosed "end", then bam got connected to rogers.

for mts its either gsm or wdcma in the 850mhz range, or pick all, you will have to test or try this procedure.

or try this is from seans old skyics instructions to get data working so it should work for voice but i edited for your needs, try w/out sim or with sim to see what happens, mine worked w/sim installed:

power off phone and remove sim card

then reboot phone (no sim card)

and when up go to phone and dial *#2263#

Select ? Settings(for u pick what mts has, maybe auto or wdcma and pick 850Mhz or all bands, this is where you will have to test)

then bottom left haptic button hit end

Open dialer again.

Dial *#2263#

select automatic

Right bottom feedback button/end

power down

now place sim back in phone

reboot

im almost sure your problem lies in the band frequency for mts, you just have to set it properly

edit: when you get into the 2263 menu see which item has an asterik next to it, thats the one currently set to

edit: it seems like the second item, wcdma, is the hspa band, which is mts's band, or try automatic
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pcTw3aker7788:
I haven't been able to find a solution to this yet. I rooted my phone last night and after that, I lost my signal. All I get in the top corner is the circle with the line through it in place of the signal bars. I've tried everything I can think of. I've re-downloaded the files and re-flashed my phone twice. I've even unrooted my phone and put the stock rom back on there and still nothing. I'm kind of at a loss right now and could use some advice on how to fix this. So if anyone knows a solution to this I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advanced for your help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flonker:
You are on Sprint, correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
If you're on stock try ##72786# in the dialer
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pcTw3aker7788:
Thanks a ton, that did the trick!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] colddonkey:
No service...bummed

I am having this same issue...sadly :confused:

I've never had this happen with any of my other devices. Will I have to unroot back to stock, or can I use a stock rooted ROM? Because after dialing ##72786# in the dialer, it rebooted, and now says "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" every two seconds...and still no service.

I'm worried, but am confident someone should be able to help me out on xda. I'm so impressed at all of the work that takes place on here. I wish I had the time to be able to learn how help others like myself in situations like this. :highfive:

Thanks to whoever can help.

Just flash stock recovery, when done with service menu, flash CWM. Have to have stock recovery temporarily just for service menu.

this message brought to you by my GalaxyS3 running Phantom's Blazer v1.6
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] colddonkey:
Ugh! It didn't work. The com.android.phone has stopped error kept popping up and interrupting the service menu. So, I turned on airplane mode to stop error message...able to run service menu...but when it rebooted there still was no service...

This sucks...

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Out of curiosity what happens when you do *#06# in the dialer? U still get a imei? Phone for closing is intriqing. Make a nadroid, wipe data/factory reset and format /system as well then reflash ur rom. If ur good after that advance restore the /data from ur nandroid

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pizzlewizzle:
Try flashing the stock rom in Odin if all else has failed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] colddonkey:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pizzlewizzle:
hmmm guessing you've done factory reset as well... if you've tried everything in this thread i suggest resetting your flash counter, returing completly to stock(unrooting and installing stock recovery) and then bringing it to sprint and say you cant get service... good luck
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Yup if u odind stock and did the ##72786# u might have an issue. Take it back
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] colddonkey:
RESOLVED

Hey...I found out why I didn't have service and was able to fix it. When I had flashed AOKP, there is a setting in the Mobile Networks screen to change the CDMA subscription to RUIM/SIM. Somehow (probably playing around) I changed it from the NV to RUIM/SIM. THEN, I nandroided back to stock, and had no service. As far as I know, that CDMA Subscription option isn't on the STOCK ROM...so I was baffled. Good thing I remembered what I did.

Thanks for all of your help.

Can anyone direct me to a link to alleviate an issue with only getting 1x data with AOKP? I can't seem to find a fix for it yet...I think I might not even have data actually...
