[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Well just a small question :

When i want to return to my stock rom(don't want to but was wondering) i can use the boot.img from the nandroid backup clockwork dir ?

I'm asking this because this boot.img is around 8 mb....while flashing custom kernels are around 4 mb. :confused:

Thanks in advance
[HTC One X] eyosen:
Yup, that is the default kernel.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Thanks.....and do you know why the difference is so big ?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Damn....just found my own answer a couple of pages back ! Must have overlooked it the first couple of times :banghead:

But no answer why the original stock one is so big .... so if somebody knows .....

Thanks in advance :)

Rename it, push to sdcard, reboot to bootloader. Nothing else. If it doesn't work, run "fastboot getvar mainver" and post what it says.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] luciddreaming:
OK, it did a recovery based on that zip, it has seem to have been downgraded, so I think everything is ok went to revolutionary and used it....ok now on fastboot it just sits there....Not sure if I should wait....so I let it sit there for an hour.......Nothing....and if I reboot the phone in the middle of it it reboots over and over.... ok so now I sit here with it downgraded......what should I do?

That flashed correctly? You'll need to say exactly what you did and where you're stuck.

Did you flash the .0312 radio? That should fix the bootloops.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] luciddreaming:
how do i do that?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Should be in the miniadb zip if you followed my guide, rename to PG32IMG.zip and boot into the bootloader, same way you did the RUU.

well, just before this I did recovery....it went to the main screen..... no more reboots.... I tried running Rev again and it said it was already S off.....so you think Iam ok?

If you're S-OFF and got a custom recovery you're good to go, if you do get bootloops later flash that radio.

OK...and thanks a million......:good:

I'm looking for a copy of the MPRG8960.HEX file.

This file is used to build the 8960_msimage.mbn which is the OEM bootimage flasher used by the MSM8960 Emergency host down-loader (EhostDL) to boot bricked devices. The tool that builds that *.mbn image is: emmcswdownload.exe which is a program that come with the QPST software...

Apparently, some ZTE firmwares may contain these...

In addition it would be useful to be able to extract these files into pure images.

The HEX file content look like this:

0 :020000042A00D0
11 :10000000D1DC4B843410D773FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEE
3e :10001000FFFFFFFF500000005000002A348802005C

[Hardware Hacking General] E:V:A:
Thanks I already have those. I have many, but not for the 8960. Which make me speculate that the MPRG8960.HEX is not needed, if it could be built into to one of the bootloaders and possibly extracted from there as well...

[Hardware Hacking General] autoprime:
I have checked latest QPST release(Q3 2012) and it did not come with this file, despite many other HEX files :crying:

are we 100% sure the file exists? if it is not packaged inside QPST.. where would it come from?
[Hardware Hacking General] Ralekdev:
There's definitely code in the 8960 PBL for the programmer. The reason it's probably not included with QPST is because the programmer is signed and signature-checked in the same way as SBL1, which means there's a programmer for each OEM and probably a different one for each phone model by the OEM that uses the 8960.
[Hardware Hacking General] Myrder:
I've been searching the web for the .hex and .mbn files.... I have failed to find anything. I did find on a Russian site that said the two files will not be able to be obtained because of the write protection on sbl 1, 2, and 3... I'm confident in the great minds of everyone here on XDA that we will find some way to bypass that wp without corrupting the files.

unfortunately the link is no longer active. i joined the forum, pm'ed the poster and posted in the thread, but haven't heard back. maybe if he receives more requests he'll create a new link?

i also downloaded the full firmware file linked in the op of that thread in the slight chance that mprg8960.hex would be included in it, but the file is a single .binx; no idea how to extract its contents. also, pantech uses an online update utility that requires the phone to be plugged in for it to work, so doesn't look like that is an option to extract the contents.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ami2510:
Hey Peepz,

I rooted my GS3 and installed WiFi tether. Selected the Samsung Galaxy Nexus profile and the general ICS/JB profile.

The problem is that WiFi tether only works sometimes, so I enable it. work with it. turn it off and maybe 2 or 3 hrs later turn it on again - it says "press to stop tethering" but no WiFi hot spot is visible to my devices (iPad, Laptops, etc). Then i turn tether off, on, off, let it sit there, restart the phone and once ever other try (dozens and dozens of trys) it works.

Is there something I am missing? Btw I have two GS3s and the same happens to the other one as well...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mofo84:
Yeah same here. I have to start stop a few times then I see the wifi network.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ami2510:
Have you seen a pattern? I haven't had much time with the phones yet (approx. 2 to 3 days). I tried turning off WiFi before tethering but have not found a solution yet. are there any other apps I should try? is WiFi tether the only one? It seems like thats the one people are using...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Teo032:
Are you running any custom roms? Native tether works perfect for me. Other than that i think the Wi-Fi tether for root users 3.2 beta is the best after that
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] justice26:
Try turning your screen off to 10 min instead of 15 seconds. I tried that and it worked for me. Don't know if you guys are using juice defender but that might be an issue as well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ami2510:
I have it at 1 min, but I'll try that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ami2510:
Nope I'm using the stock, I just rooted it. That's all. When you say, native what do you mean the tmobile app?. I don't have a tether contract, just regular unlimited data...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Teo032:
Oh okay native as in the one in more settings. I think the T-Mobile app shortcuts to that. But nvm that doesn't play nice if you're stock rooted. Why not run a custom Rom and use it? I don't have a tether plan and it works fine for me
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Geniusssx:
Same prob. with my Teth.

I got the same problem with my USB tethering. I plug in my CPU, it's working perfectly for 5 minutes, after that, everything stop. Same with my WIFI Hot Spot. Dunno what's the problem ?!? Maybe it will work fine with Jelly B ! Hope it comes fast for videotron. :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ami2510:
I haven't tried that one, in fear that t-mo will just say: hey we want money!

I will try the WiFi tether beta when I have the chance... where can I get it? Market?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Teo032:
It's not in the market. I'll try to find a link. You can Google it.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kushari:
Mine works, however after a few minutes, the data craps out. Any suggestions? I'm using the auto profile. If I leave it for a few hours, turn it back on, then it usually works again for a few minutes. Is this something Wind is doing to stop you from using lots of data? I have an unlimited plan.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hooutoo:
Do you mine sharing your settings. If I use wifi tether straight out of the box, default everything I'm getting redirected to the Tmob page which says my cost will be $14.95 per. When I change profiles to say Generic Ics/JB and change to channel 6 I still connected to the phone but I get no "internet connection". I've checked ipconfig and of course it shows I've connected to the phone and dhcp has assign me an ip, 192.168. something but I got nothing. Right now I'm fu***ed. I so wanted to call comcast and tell them... well you know!

I still may just pay the $14.95 to Tmob instead of $70 to Comcastm makes sense. Before tmob shut me down I was getting 8-10 down and 1-1.5 up on my lappy thru the GS3!

Any tips or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Teo032:
If you get the upsell page then change the user agents. What Rom are you using... why don't you use native tethering? When it says no internet connection... just wait awhile until it reconnects you should get internet after that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hooutoo:
I'm using cm10 nightly and I did use the hotspot option thru the phone to test the speed. I knew Tmob would get wise and block me which they did hence the sell thru page. So I down loaded Wifi Tethering and installed but wasn't too sure about the setting? I also installed the user agent pluggin for Chrome. Then I selected "Chrome on Windows" as my common user agent and here we are.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Teo032:
Well if you're using chrome, and you changed your user agent to chrome on chrome. Doesn't that mean T-Mobile is still blocking you because they're blocking chrome and Firefox on windows....

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

Btw native works fine on cm10. Just change it to anything but chrome or Firefox or use the mac version
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hooutoo:
I'm confused, what is "Chrome on Chrome"? I don't see that as an option under "select common user agent". I only have "Chrome on Windows". If I understand you correctly your saying to try a browser other that Chrome or Firefox on Win 7.

Also what do you mean by "native" on CM10? Are you talking about going to settings>more>Tethering & portable hotspot and setting up hotspots there cause tmob send me upsell page when I go there now?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Teo032:
Are you serious? Why are you using a chrome user agent on a chrome browser. It's like coloring red on red paper. Yes the native built in tether.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hooutoo:
Thanks

Ok, thanks I guess I had a horrible brain fart.. boy I feel better now! :o All is well and working like a champ!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ami2510:
Ok so I installed the beta and its still sporadically.

Lame. I tried FoxFi but doesnt work at all.

Any other ideas, different profiles in Wifi Tether? I just want to make sure, I just need root right?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ami2510:
Ok, so it seems as I found the solution. I had to download foxfi and foxfi add on to make it work on tmo.

So now I'm tethering away on my stock s3 rooted.

@others with the same problem: let us know if that fixed it as well for you

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crimsomshadow:
Hello there,

As my Prime doesnt receive OTAs I waited for the official Asus zip. I restored my original build.prop, deleted the modified one and did a factory reset (I didnt remember the wipe option). Then I just updated to JB, but when it reboots to start JB for the first time, it gets stuck on the new Asus screen. I cant get past it and I cant even shutdown the tablet, it powers on by its own.

My tablet wasnt unlocked (I cant unlock too) and I cant even go into recovery. I tried with the reset pin to no avail; I tried the following:

Pushing Power + Vol Down: It restarts, vibrates and gets stuck on the same screen

Pushing Power + Vol Up: It restart, vibrates and screen off

Pushing reset pin + any of the previous: same effects.

Now I am starting to fear I have in my hands a 600$ paperweight (imported from USA, dock included). Anything I can try to make it boot?

Thank you all!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Can you try this. Hold just volume down and keep holding it. Then push reset hole. Keep holding the volume down for another 3-4 seconds. Tell me what you see after.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crimsomshadow:
I just get the same ASUS screen -_-
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
I'm sorry, I dont know how else you can do it without fastboot access.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kwineon:
Same thing happened to me today. Update to JB, played around with it, ran the unlock tool, and it never booted again. :/

I sent a message to Gary Keys in hopes that we can find a fix.

Would you be up for doing the same, anything to try and get a response!

It sucks to have a $500 paperweight that I didn't even get to play around with. :/

The Unlock Tool on Asus' Site, v6 dated Feb 22, 2012, states three times in the description that it's only for Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS). I haven't heard that it works for JB. This might be the cause of the brick.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crimsomshadow:
Well, se ser a lot. Also Serial not found problem, tried to unlock many times but couldnt un the day. I will try to get an RMA but I think they will make me pay. If not, time for a Nexus 7 (ASUS again, dammit!)?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kwineon:
I didn't realize this. :/ Sucks to be me I guess. You would figure they would update the tool if required when releasing new OTAs. :/

Any way to reload the boot loader without having created the NVFlash files?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Antiflash:
Same problem (stuck in ASUS Logo), not rooted or unlocked. I did have the serial number issue that I never care about because it just meant I had to manually update. But It seems that this serial issue is what have caused this brick for some of us.

There are a lot of primes bricked by the update to Jelly Bean. And it appears to be a hard brick. I am waiting for them to respond my support request. Probably an RMA is the only solution.
