[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pounaxxx:
Hi, first of all, sorry for my bad english.

So, here is my problem : I flashed the ROM "Blackout ICS Incredible v3.0" yesterday, everything works good except that each time I insert my SD Card (8Go), it says "the card was unexpectedly removed". I've already tried using another SD Card (2Go), but it has the same result. I tried to reboot my phone in hope it will work, but nothing. I don't know if it is the SD cards or the ROM ?? Could someone help please ? Thank you in advance for your help.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimps:
i also had a spot of bother installing that one for a test ...................

solution - wipe everything sd, dalvic, system etc all of it, then put rom on sd/card and reinstall, dont let aroma restart just select no and the do it via recovery.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boge_k:
I do that all the time but same thing happens,after 5-10 seconds of looking at sd card or downloading it gets unmounted by itself?

[Nokia Lumia 800] M@rtyn04:
Having recently up-dated my Lumia 800 to the latest "Tango" version (officially via Zune, no custom ROM used), I have found that the following sensors are no longer available to me: Accelerometer, Magnetometer and Proximity. When I run Nokia Diagnostics, it tells me these sensors are not available on my phone :confused: .

So, I thought that I would roll-back to the previous "Mango" version and either stay with it or then re-install "Tango". Lumia and PC connected, check. Zune running, check. Zune and phone chatting to each other, check. All good to go. Start the roll-back and........ nothing. On the screen of my phone is the graphic showing that I need to connect PC to phone, which remains in that state for about 10 mins. And when it changes to "Do not disconnect" status, Zune then chimes in and says the roll-back failed and gives me the code 801812E0.

As a last resort, I also did a factory reset. Bye bye all my data (thank God for Re-installer and SkyDrive!!). As you can guess, the sensors are still non-functional. Damn it!

OS version: 7.10.8773.98

Firmware : 1750.0805.8773.12220

Bootloader: 7.41.0.0

Has anyone else had this happen or am I on my own? I've searched several forums but so far seem to be the only one that has had this happen. Just for info, all apps are loaded ONLY from the MarketPlace and all up-dates in firmware are the official versions loaded via Zune. Not unlocked or any Homebrew apps, just bog-standard out-of-the-box Nokia Lumia 800.

Any ideas and thoughts on the matter greatly appreciated :good:
[Nokia Lumia 800] ChrisKringel:
Are the sensors present in different apps? For instance, does the compass work in mapping apps, does Photosynth work? Easiest thing would be to visit a nearby Nokia Care Point and ask for a reflash of the firmware.
[Nokia Lumia 800] M@rtyn04:
@ChrisKringel.... Sadly the sensors are totally missing (can't view photos or internet, etc in landscape), the screen remains active when I make phone calls and the compass is missing too, which I first noticed in the update of Nokia City Lens. When I use the Nokia Diagnostics, it says that none of these sensors are present.

Anyway, had a mail from Nokia Support suggesting that I take the steps I had ALREADY told them I had taken. So went to my local Nokia dealer and asked them to make my toy better. Long and the short of it, it has to be sent back to Nokia and will probably be replaced. So for the next 10 days or so I am Lumia-less. Back to my HTC HD2 (which you just can't kill, even after diverse WM, WP7 and Android ROMs). But I so much more prefere WP7 on a native device and the Lumia is a great phone!!
[Hardware Hacking General] Tordred:
Hi,

I am student from the Ruhr-university of Bochum, Germany, and I am working on my master thesis which is dealing with anti spoofing techniques for GPS. I already recognized, that I need to modify the Android GPS subsystem in order to be able to go on with my work as planned. So, I need more information about the GPS modules in the android devices (better: detailed information about one particular module). My aim is to get more GPS properties from the module than currently is given to the Android OS. In fact, I need to get information about the gps signals, like phase, signal strength, etc.

Can anybody help me with this? Where can I find information about any GPS module or is there any known project or hack which is able to get the signal properties?

best regards,

Tordred
[Hardware Hacking General] brantje:
I Think you are looking for this:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/location/strategies.html

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationManager.html

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/GpsStatus.html

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/GpsSatellite.html
[Hardware Hacking General] Tordred:
No, sorry. I am not looking for location related stuff. It is not the location I am interested in, it is the GPS signal itself. And this stuff is not supported by the original android implementation.
[Hardware Hacking General] Renate:
You can only get as much info as the GPS module is putting out.

The two protocols are NMEA-0183 and SiRF Binary protocol (if applicable).
[Hardware Hacking General] Tordred:
Thanks for your answer, I just took a deeper look on the SiRF protocol and it seems to be possible to get the data I need with this protocol. I saw that the Galaxy S2 has built in the SiRFStar IV chip. Does anybody know something about this chip? Is it a "uncut" chip in the Galaxy S2 and is it perhaps possible to "talk" to it using the protocol?
[Hardware Hacking General] Renate:
I don't do much with SiRF Binary; on a PC I use it to select the WAAS satellite.

Give it a try, just switch out of NMEA-0183 using the $PSRF100,0 message.
[Hardware Hacking General] Tordred:
Now I have a Galaxy Nexus, which has also built in the sirfstarIV gps chip. I am trying to switch out of NMEA, but I am not very familiar with linux ans serial ports. I am trying to send the switch message via terminal to the gps chip, but it seems not be successful.

I already know, that the serial port is the ttyO0, as mentioned in the sirfgps.conf file. I tried to configure it with "setserial" and "stty" and I tried to send a message with "echo", but there is no response.

Can somebody explain to me how I use the serial port correctly?
[Hardware Hacking General] Renate:
First try to get the NMEA-0183 working.

The default spec baud is 4800.

You should be able to connect to the GPS chip and without issuing any commands receive NMEA sentences.

Hmm. For built-in chips you have to probably power it up somehow.
[Hardware Hacking General] Tordred:
It seems the ttyO0 is not the serial port of the gps chip but the serial port of the kernel... I am getting an output using the microcom command, but I can not read it. I tried several baud rates, but it is always unreadable.
[Hardware Hacking General] E:V:A:
Sound like a cool project, but we cannot help you unless you specify exactly what device/model you are using. Its a Nexus I9250 or SGS2 I9100 ??? Is it branded by some other operator etc? Sometimes the best thing is to open the damn thing and see what's inside. (But the Nexus has been in some tear-downs/take-aparts, google it!)

Also have a look at:

"Accessing uart on Galaxy Nexus i9250"

Then you'll need the Service Manual with the schematics to figure out how the GPS is wired. On the I9100 its wired to the modem (BP/CP) and on the I9250 its wired to both AP and to the MUX... (You've got some reading to do...)

But you should be able to find the correct port from dmesg, logcat and the various *.rc scripts...
[Hardware Hacking General] Tordred:
I tried to get a i9100 because of the sirf gps chip, but I got a i9250 with the ICS 4.04 Stock Rom, which has the same chip built in. I rooted the device using the NexusTool and installed busybox on it.

I have already read several threads to get an orientation how to get access to the serial ports and how to deal with the gps chip:

- [MOD/SETTINGS TWEAK] SiRF GPS on SGS2

- [A][SGS2][Serial] How to talk to the Modem with AT commands

- Accessing uart on Galaxy Nexus i9250

- The all-in-one Galaxy S2 Hack Pack

In order to get an output(or some kind of action in the gps chip) I wrote an app, which is trying to get a gps fix in an background service. So my phone is always trying to get a fix. When I now look into the dmesg or logcat output, there is no hint on gps. I read about those .rc scripts, but i can not find them on my device.

In the /vendor/sirfgps.conf I found the lines ...

UART_DRIVER = /dev/ttyO0
UART_BAUD_RATE = 2

...where 2 stands for 460800 Baud. I tried to connect to this port using the command

microcom -s 460800 /dev/ttyO0

with a terminal emulator app, but the output was not readable. I tried several other baud rates, but it is always unreadable.
[Hardware Hacking General] E:V:A:
What do you mean with "...the output was not readable.."??

Do you get anything? Can you post it.

If you get "something", then, you're either:

- using the wrong UART port

- the wrong baudrate, parity, stop bit settings etc.

- receiving data in some unknown format, possibly encrypted.

Please, post (on Pastie) your dmesg output (as it appears) immediately after bootup. And possibly a full debug logcat using the "Logcat Extereme" App, when turning on and off GPS.

Also you should not use apps for trying to read this data, as your app runs in VM which doesn't have full root FS access, regardless of SU. You first try getting data from a terminal session either from phone side (adb) or from PC (Realterm etc.) side.
[Hardware Hacking General] Star_gear:
Is this true?

Hello, i'm new here.

I'm wondering is it true that my Galaxy young gps module are:confused: :

1. Broadcom BC2075 (AGPS support chip)

2. Broadcom BC4751 (GPS receiver)

i'm using ES file exprorer on my rooted system and find glconfig2075.xml and glconfig4751.xml. in /etc/gps/ system folder. Nothing found in my cheap prerooted with no gps support tablet.

If this is true then there is some relief that it is kinda easy to find what my gps are in situ, rather than look out in the cloud via google.

It's still hazy to me, why is it that the same hardware but a software change from 10 minutes up to 5 seconds to receive satellite. Anywhere.

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] samyam2002000:
The general API level for odexed apps and framework in ICS and Jellybean is higher (15) than the Gingerbread so the apps in ICS and Jelly bean need to be deodexed differently. Here's is a much general and 100% successful way of deodexing those apps and pushing them into system. I know some of you might suggest dsixda kitchen but thats just limited to Linux or cygwin users. So i am gonna talk fully about how to deodex them samsung apps.

First of all what is deodexing:

Here's a good guide:

http://www.wugfresh.com/guides/deodex/ (do not use the guide to deodex you might brick your device)

Now let us actually proceed with deodexing system files:

1. Gain the actual .odex files be it by copying from actual system files or by extracting the firmware fresh

2. Download the following tool (auto deodex tool 1.0.3): (thanks to xavierjohn22)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13254199&postcount=3

3. Extract it inside a folder.

4. Place the respective system/app files to be deodexed in _app

and system/framework files to be deodexed in _framework

5. Run Autodeotoolmain.bat

6. First deodex jar files (ie _framework files) :Press 5

7. It will take some time.

8. Your deodexed files will be in deodexed_jar folder

9. Deodexing apps requires some extra steps

10. Download the attached file java.awt.jar

11. Place the java.awt.jar file in deodexed_jar folder

12. Now to deodex .apk files press 4.

13. Use the following as your boot class path:

am.jar:android.policy.jar:android.test.runner.jar:apache-xml.jar:bmgr.jar:bouncycastle.jar:bu.jar:com.android.future.usb.accessory.jar:com.android.location.provider.jar:com.google.android.maps.jar:com.google.android.media.effects.jar:com.google.widevine.software.drm.jar:com.samsung.device.jar:core.jar:core-junit.jar:ext.jar:filterfw.jar:framework.jar:framework2.jar:GlobalConfig.jar:ime.jar:input.jar:javax.obex.jar:libvtmanagerjar.jar:minimode.jar:monkey.jar:pm.jar:sec_feature.jar:seccamera.jar:secframework.jar:sechardware.jar:secmediarecorder.jar:services.jar:svc.jar:twframework.jar:java.awt.jar

14. Press enter and drink some coffee or do something else it takes very long time.

15. After completion those apps will be stored in deodexed_apk

16. Now some jars and apks remain in _framework those do not need to be deodexed. Copy those files in deodexed_jar

17. Now copy deodex_jar folder and deodexed_apk folder to your phone (make sure unknown sources and usb debugging are on)

18. Unplug your phone once and let media scanning run

19. Plug you phone again and in windows command prompt fire in adb and type in following code:

20. In recovery wipe cache, dalvik and do a factory reset. Reboot (initially may take some time be patient)

21. Congratulations you are deodexed

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcaligula:
Hi. I have managed to put RR 3.03 ROM into my SGII

At first I read all pages I could here about rooting.

And found a page that let me root without using Odin.

I went to recovery on my phone.

Put CWM.zip and SU-busybox.zip on my Sdcard.

Installed them both.

Then put RR 3.03 ROM on SDcard

I installed and chose Default.

Installation seemed ok , but after clearing cache and all that . Fixing permissions. The phone rebooted and screen went black. Waited over ten minutes.

So I tried again with custom this time and chose CM kernel.. This didnt work either. But when I chose Dream kernel I made it work.

What have I done wrong or not ?

Phone is running with RR 3.03 And I love the ROM. Phone is workin 100 %

But what are they Kernels ?

I noticed CWMod updated from 5.5.0 something to ver. 6. and something, by itself :D

I started with an ICS 4.03 XWLPG

And now I have 4.1.1 XXLPS :)

Please fill me in on these kernels, what to do. Pros and Cons for choosing SIYAH , CM and DREAM . What do they do different and so on. If someone will bother.

Rgrds MrCaligula
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Grift-:
Well you can google about the kernel part but for sammy phones the recovery is part of the kernel that is why when you flashed the rom with a kernel the recovery version increased. I personally recommend Siyah kernel (in the original development forum) or Dorimanx kernel (in the development forum)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcaligula:
Ok, any clue why my RR 3.03 didnt install properly with SIYAH kernel ? I guess that one was default in that ROM. Screen just stayed black for ages.

I described how I did it in first post :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smhtc:
Some ROM zips like CyanogenMod come with a recovery (zImage). So if you install such a ROM via recovery, it will replace your current recovery with what is embedded in the ROM installation zip file.

For different kernels, they support various features, for example,

ROOT (Samsung kernels don't support root access by default)

Overclocking for performance gain(changing max frequency of CPU above Samsung specified values)

Underclocking for battery saving (changing min frequency of CPU below Samsung specified values)

Undervolting for battery saving (allowing to change voltages associated with each frequency value of phone)

Any visual mods (for UI customization - like theming, changing boot animations etc)

Changing country code of your phone so that you can access some apps/features that are only available in certain countries/regions.

And many more.
