I tried it with non compressed, with normal and fast compression.

Every time I got 154 image updating error.

So, that method is not working on hboot 1.28 :) If you have lower hboot, maybe you will success.
[HTC One X] gffmac:
Same Image updating Error 154 error here.
[HTC One X] webpatrick:
Downloaded it, unzipped it modified CID HTC_E11 and mainver 2.17.401.2[added a space] just to be sure I got the same character count as was.

Repacked the ROM.zip compressed latest 7-zip version.

Ran the Chinese ARUWizard and got the 132 ERROR, couldn't read what was wrong, cause it was in chinese, but I think 132 is signature error.

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

Can anybody tell me what (wire) brush is? Is it something with the RUU? Or could we do this also with a ROM.zip from our own build like 1.26.401.2, 1.29.401.7 or 1.29.401.11?
[HTC One X] backfromthestorm:
Brush = Flash.

Just flash a stock rom. Or cook one from the rom.zip. This customruu stuff is pointless, just flashes system, boot etc from a pc. All it does is send fastboot commands!

What about accessing download mode? Like on galaxy devices. In this mode we could flash ANYTHING.
[HTC One X] xmoo:
That wouls be APX, but we donnot have the corect files or drivers to do that.
[HTC One X] smash_07:
There is no auch mode in HTC devices. What we use to flash is the fastboot mode that puts the phone ready to be flashed. But HTC devices have a CID identifier that limits the devices to certain regions or carriers and only fliles that qualify for those CID's can be flashed.

Samsung devices don't have any restrictions on that aspect when they are in download mode.
[HTC One X] nitrous²:
Sure? Every device has a download mode. The trick is to get access to it...AFAIK :D
[HTC One X] eFFeRaTuM:
you are looking at the wrong file. the one i've downloaded contains the imgs for all partition including hboot.
[HTC One X] johns1982:
Think if you speak to tripnraver he might be able to do this, I remember with his 3.4.11 kernel after flashing phone and rebooting at bottom of screen it showed safe mode sorry if this doesn't help

Kind regards

[HTC One X] backfromthestorm:
Im not looking at any files.

(Although youve probably got a rom.zip containing hboot, info.txt, boot, system, splash etc.)

But regardless of whats in it, an older hboot wont get flashed from an ruu. Any ruu. (Without s-off)

Oh dear. Im done.
[HTC One X] smash_07:
Well you bring a good point there, it so that HTC devices have this locked and complicated bootloaders that they turn out to be a huge mistery to everyone.

In my opinion, this locks made by HTC can turn out to be the greatest in terms of software engeneering as they seem unbreakable.

Nice forget the idea of accessing download mode. Never ever has a Tegra3 device been seen in donwload mode. They did it only on Tegra2 devices like the Asus Transformer TF101 (Nvflash).
[HTC One X] Braindamage1989:
Not to forget you need SBK from HTC. No SBK means no flashing from APX.

You can't edit android-info.txt as It's impossible to edit files in a signed package without invalidating the signature.

[HTC One X] Sentinel196:
So it seems to me that the only way we are going to get around S-OFF is to somehow create a tool that is able to sign ZIPs with a signature that the bootloader will accept, like what Condi did for the Sony Tablet S with his All-In-One tool.

We were never able to unlock the bootloader, but we could flash whatever we wanted to using his tool to sign the zip file.

NO, its not possible at this time! You can use a ROM kitchen to pack. But it'll give you an error when you flash it. There's no way because you can't sign the ROM file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Amphibliam:
So I restored to stock HD using ODIN, and I can't seem to get the OTA to HE. Is it because HD wasn't official? I can't find an HE ODIN file anywhere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Need to go back to last official before update. May think HD is HE depending on what it is looking for to determine upgrade eligibility.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Amphibliam:
Will flashing the G7 images wipe my data?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
That's correct.

I haven't seen one either.

If you Odin back to G1 (official release), you can take the G1 to G7 OTA update, and then the G7 to HE OTA update.

You can root and unlock on HE no problem!

[Thinkpad Tablet General] alexander.euclid:
I briefly posted this same question in the ICS rooting thread.

Basically, after rooting my ICS tpt, without installing CWR I went and messed around with the tablet's LCD density settings. After a reboot (bad idea now I realize), the tablet would boot into the lenovo logo twice, then followed by a blank screen. I can boot into the original recovery, but a factory reset did not fix the issue and I cannot flash any of the stock ROMs with it. A common error I get is:

Totally clueless as to what I can do now, since I can't even boot into the OS. Help please ! Thanks!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] emuandco:
well i guess due to your factory reset you dont have active adb debugging, too... hmmmm....
[Thinkpad Tablet General] alexander.euclid:
yeah I realized that that was a mistake too. Is my only recourse basically servicing it?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] emuandco:
Well.... is it a US, ROW, CN oder WE Version? ROW could be saved with nvflash maybe.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] alexander.euclid:
US
[Thinkpad Tablet General] emuandco:
Ever tried if your bootloader is locked or not? The former root method from the chinese guy uses nvflash for it. it might help you with your cwm too.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] alexander.euclid:
I did try to put it into APX mode then doing the former rooting method, but when I run CWM.bat it says connection failed. Not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong there.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] emuandco:
Error 0x4 means locked bootloader...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] alexander.euclid:
okay I see, so off to service it goes I guess...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] alexander.euclid:
A question about warranty. Will they know that I have rooted? It's not in a bootloop per se, but there's no way of getting into the tablet at all.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] emuandco:
i dont think they Check deeply. if they Do, sure
[Thinkpad Tablet General] rickinoz:
Technically Lenovo techs could get into your TPT since they have the secure bootloader keys. But to use the device they'd have to reset it anyway, so the obvious signs you'd rooted would be wiped too. This assumes they'd do more than a cursory check. Such efforts would be inefficient so chances are they don't.

So on balance, I'd say you're in the clear. Play dumb and just say it wouldn't switch on one day. There's little to lose.

P.S: if you do find a way in ... build.prop can be modified with most text editors.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jason_Nguyen:
I'm stuck on the boot screen on a rom but I can't reach recovery because I have PG86IMG.zip in the card so I can't boot into recovery since I can't skip the update radio thing without restarting the whole phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Try this.

[HTC EVO 3D] Jason_Nguyen:
I found out how to fix it jut as you posted it. I booted into recovery through adb on cmd. Thanks anyway though.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Didn't realize you could boot into Android to run ADB. If that's true, you could just delete the PG86IMG.zip file using a file manager or reboot into recovery using an app like QuickBoot from the Play Store.

Edit: NVM. I see from your OP that you were on the boot screen. I never tried the "adb reboot" command in that situation.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] dfeldt91:
I had the same problem after downgrading my boot and then burning my current ROM. It was boot looping and couldnt go into recovery because of the .IMG file on the SD card.

My fix was a roommates camera that luckily had a mini SD card slot instead of the normal SD cards. Just swapped it to the camera and deleted it then got to recovery after putting it back in the phone.

I just got my note ii yesterday, awesome device, but I noticed that the nib on the pen feels a little loose. What I mean is that when I press the nib, it goes in easily. On the original note I had for a few weeks last year, I don't think the nib went inside at all, and even if it did, it was hard. Also the nib kind of hobbles a little left and right when touched. Does this behavior happen on other people's s-pen also?

Is there a way to replace the stock browser with chrome as the default browser???
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holgalee:
Yes. After installing chrome, go to an app that requires you to click on a url, like xda or YouTube. You'll see a pop up window saying "complete action using". Select "use by default for this action" then click on the icon for chrome.

To remove an app that is currently the default. Just go to settings> application manager and select the app. At the bottom right, select "clear defaults".

This is correct but even if you have flash on Jelly Bean Chrome is still incompatable. I tried it on my mates Nexus 7 with Chrome and Jelly Bean.

I use Dolphin Browser as that supports Flash.

Finding Stock Partition Info For Your Device

Three methods:

Most reliable - See the section "Gathering info" above to get it from ATAG

Only shows size without offset - do "cat /proc/mtd" from adb shell. Can be used to test if you're on stock partitions or not, or to verify partition is big enough for update ZIP's (with sed/grep).

Xperia 2011 Only - Examine SIN header as outlined above. This method is difficult to determine mtd block order but I'm 99% sure the order is same for all Xperia 2011 devices (system=mtd0, userdata=mtd1, cache=mtd2).

I've been talking to wedgess about the use of the cache partition... been poking around and he pointed me in your direction... so, here we go! :highfive:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CosmicDan:
Awesome, thanks for the partition info. I *hope* to get all Xperia 2011 device info so I can build Turbo Kernel for all. From what I can see, Arc partitions are identical to Play and Neo L. So maybe all Xperia 2011 devices are the same.

Since the cache partition is not an FTF file, it goes after vendor - so offset would be 940544 (kb). The size I am not sure and might vary per device. /proc/mtd (or /proc/partitions) should tell you.

Also, you can remove vendor partition - because all ROM's just mount it to the folder at /system/vendor so any vendor files you need can go into system partition, and then you can remap/reclaim vendor.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] [NUT]:
Might be different for the Arc S (ayame) ... i'm looking into the official firmware release now to confirm... but as i used a FTF for my LT15i to gain size on my userdata a while back this is what i get from the dmesg ATAG lines...

system 9C4 @ 2E4 320000 @ 94720 312Mb
cache 32C @ FA4 103936 @ 512512 101Mb
userdata D20 @ 12D0 430080 @ 616448 420Mb

Seeing cache between system and userdata ... but no vendor partition anymore o_O

I also notice my endpoint at 918Mb of 1000MB (as sony states in their whitepaper: 1GB) that would be inside the phone ... lost space or do you know a reason perhaps?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CosmicDan:
1GB = 1024MB, not 1000MB :)

Well on stock zeus/phonex, as the OT shows, boot + system + data + appslog (vendor) + cache = 940MB. Along with the ~80MB of reserved data at the beginning for radio/baseband and such, that comes to 1020MB. I assume the last missing ~4MB of the full 1GB is reserved for remapping bad blocks (i.e. wear-leveling).

That FTF is completely weird, just like the 420MB space mod for some devices is actually dangerous (size of one partition overlaps the offset of another by about 20MB). If you visualize your map you just showed, there is some wasted space after /system map. Anyway, the cache partition on zeus board goes right at the end, after vendor. So yeah the maps are obviously different, however I think the 1020MB NAND size is possibly the same for all msm-7x30/Snapdragon S2 SoC devices (not just Sony).

Could you ensure you have flashed a 100% original/genuine FTF file and get full ATAG information again?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] [NUT]:
well... thats open for debate in some way, GB != GiB. For me 1GB should be 1024Mb though ... :)

most likely yes... sounds fair atleast...

i've been playing around with wedgess' kernel:

system 9C4 @ 2E4 320000 @ 94720 312Mb
userdata 1258 @ CA8 601088 @ 414720 587Mb
cache 40 @ 1F00 8192 @ 1015808 8Mb

EOD: 1024000 1000Mb

Thats what i am using now, thanks to your guide ;)

Will report back with the defaults from the stock rom later... going to bed now... 7:36am here now... haven't been sleeping yet :silly:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CosmicDan:
Yeah true, the whole kilobyte/kibibyte thing.... they still display KB/MB instead of KiB/MiB in most things even though they're in 1024 unit (shell listings, file explorer properties, etc.) but storage vendors do use true 1000 units, 32GB SDCard for example... but then the software doesn't so it's stupid and confusing :P So yeah, most people have not adopted it, thus it's better to assume that all KB/MB/etc measurements are done in powers of 1024 still.... because they're old school :)

I wonder, in pther Android ROM's is it corrrect? In MIUI/Turbo UI it shows 639MB in Storage (instead of MiB) so I assume even Android OS itself is also "wrong" haha. Titanium Backup is the *only* app I know of that shows sizes in power of 1000.... and that confuses a lot of people.

Great thanks. It seems the anzu has 2MB unused... is that your device? If so, do you know how to use dd? Can use dd to dump partition, if its mapped bad it will give I/O error.

Sent from Xperia Play (R800a) with Tapatalk
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] [NUT]:
Yep, I have the anzu, and I know how to use dd... Will test that some time later ;) would it be possible to dump all of the nand flash?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CosmicDan:
Sure, should be. Say you wanted to dump entire flash to one image, just add another partition to mtdparts parameter with offset 0 and size of 1020MB (in anzu case). Then you can dd from that new mtdblock device to sdcard. But I think you may get lots of I/o errors on the first 80MB, I am really not sure. Just make sure you don't try to write to it LOL.

Also I think our devices need bs=4096 (4KB) because that is the sector size of our nand chip.

EDIT: Maybe there is some unused space at the end of that first 80MB, I am not sure. Because baseband and adsp firmware is less than 80MB.

From what i know from using dd: it does a byte4byte copy, in any sector size you like but in any case it will read what the disk says there is, as long as there is a disk... so the o/i errors should only occur on those parts that are either damaged or non existent...

I'll do a partition as last option in the config_cmdline grabbing the theoretical maximum of 1024Mb and see if it will fly. :cowboy:

As the NAND flash chip has no logic that makes it a disk like entity other then direct access through MTD software logic (hence yaffs2 as filesystem of choice) i strongly doubt it will use the last 2/4Mb in the end as wear leveling buffer... :confused:
