Here is official tutorial and troubleshooting

[Windows 8 General] Devesh25:
i have a little question about windows activation ?

my friend gave me original windows 8 pro iso with product key, i install it on oracle vm to see if it is original or not, product key works great but after full & clean install it is not activated windows

so if i install on my pc with genuine windows 7 which is pre-installed by HCL, will it be activated after install or not
[Windows 8 General] rugglez:
There are keys circulating around the net which get accepted during installation phase but are not really genuine keys, which you find out after installation during regular use. You've probably been given one of these. If that's the case, it will not get activated.
[Windows 8 General] Devesh25:
so you mean to say if product key is not original or blocked by microsoft then while installation it is accepted but after installation is completed windows reject it & become unactivated.....

what is difference between product key & activation key ?

are they same or both are different ?

:confused:

because some website says product key but some website says activation key thats why i am confused between product key & activation keys of windows 8 pro
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
They are the same thing, from the user's perspective. From the system's perspective, the product key is the key entered at installation, which tells the system what edition of Windows you're installing (the installers for many of the different editions are identical; it's purely a matter of the product key used). The activation key is the key sent to Microsoft to verify that you have a legally purchased copy of the software. Typically, this is the same key you entered at install time. However, since it's possible for a single key to be used as a product key an unlimited number of times (but may only be used to activate a small number of times), a key found online may be usable for installation (product key) but not for activation.

First of all, I'm just a noob to android system. I like the way android treat internal and external storage while connecting to PC as mass storage drive in Gingerbread. However it was replaced by MTP in JB.

Is there anyway I can restore this function?

I've tried search the forum and this solution might have been working:

This mounts your external SD card in UMS mode. It has been tested and confirmed working on note II. I use it myself. It requires root. The internal storage however is out of the question.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neock:

I know that Sebastian's kernel provides this function, but what about Showp's? Is there any way to make bricked suport it, or has anyone tried modding bricked to support usb otg?

I love bricked battery life and sweep to wake:)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
if sweep2wake is indeed ....the only cause that you didnt went to seb's kernel ..try grogg's kernel ..in his ROM thread ..the kernel he compiled just has SEB's + sweep2wake + USB fast charge :)

BTW if using viper rom ..then its absolutely fantabulous ...im using the same kernel with viper for past month or so :)

seems like he removed them ..

i got the kernel uploaded here..if you want
[HTC Sensation] elvisypi:
Thanks man, I'll try it. What about battery, how is it?
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
You can turn on sweep to wake in most kernels by using kernel tuner. Just go to misc. Tweaks and scroll down you will see where it will say sweep to wake off. Simply turn it on from there. I hope this is helpful to you. I too like sweep to wake and I discovered this function the other day! Super easy. Hope this helps.: )
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
For me its the same as.. Bricked kernel with default settings... So i expect the same for you

As long as kernel doesn't support it.. It won't work... In kernel tuner.. Its just a switch... If the kernel actually has s2w then the switch works.. Otherwise it won't :)

So how about USB OTG with Bricked 1.4, is it there, or have I missed the answer? ?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spodemaster:
Ok I've noticed nobody seems to want to touch this topic, and maybe because ICS 4G speeds have been so piss poor its not a priority (or other implications)?

As far as 4G speeds I actually seem to have figured it out on my own phone running THE BLUE KUBAN rom

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34693921&postcount=3

Now this is a feature, or quirk that I used to take advantage of on my E4GT running GB ROM.

When I was using 4G, I could toggle my wifi on and off, and it would turn of my 4G, then acquire a brand spanking new IP when it reconnected.

What ever google did in ICS, they made it so the WIMAX modem (SPRINT 4G) Tenaciously clings to its last IP it acquired until you roam into range of a different 4G tower (as far as I can tell).

I don't know if this was done intentionally (probably) but I like to fidget with my toys, and I don't want to have to roll back to GB everytime I want to futz with my 4G IP :|

Has anyone figured this out yet???????
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
why do you want to chg your ip? why so you care? are you banned and need a new ip?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spodemaster:
Are you implying the only reason one would want to be able to change their IP is for unethical conduct??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
I was only wondering why. But now that you mention it, I can't think of a ethical one. Lets hear your reason.

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

um Google didn't invent dhcp leases. The same mac address will always try to keep the same ip. It's the way dhcp works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spodemaster:
cyber vigilante??

And actually yes I would assume it would be the tower that recognizes the phone Mac Address and hand out the same IP, but it didn't work that way in Ginger Bread, every time I shut off 4G, and turned it back on It would have a verifiable different IP.

Now with the Ice Cream Sandwhich OS it keeps the same IP, so they obviously made significant changes in the way the OS handles its interactions with the Wimax network

I've already gone back to Gingerbread, and verified I get new IP's quickly and easily.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
Enjoy your new IPs. And the tower doesn't hand out IPs. the dhcp server on the network behind the tower does. The tower is a glorified antenna. And to think that some people pay extra for the static ip "bug"!! lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spodemaster:
Well duh, I'm sure each tower, has its own server to deal with the traffic as well, but yah I would like to stay with ICS and not bounce between os's

Its not very convenient to switch between ICS, and GB.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viki1296:
Some more information please..

Please tell me the exact steps you followed to get a custom recovery and also mention which ROM you flashed (BTW 4.1.x is CM10) and what process you followed in recovery mode..

The steps you should have followed are -

1. root your phone

2. install 2ndinit

3. download the rom and the gapps (and kernel if required) and place them in your sd card

4. boot into bootmenu and then custom recovery (press volume down button when the blue led shines while booting up - when the red moto logo is displyed)

5. in recovery - wipe data, wipe cache, advanced - wipe dalvik, install the zips (rom and gapps, kernel if required) from sd card, wipe cache again, wipe dalvik again, reboot

6. wait! beacause first boot is lengthy..

7. enjoy your device.

If you have done anything different or have not done anything from the above mentioned steps, please repeat the process doing that also..

BTW the link you have mentioned is a collection of stock SBF files..(default moto roms)

There is nothing there which will help you to upgrade to ICS or JB.. :confused:

Please check this thread for Jelly Bean 4.1.2..(CM10)

It is a great place to start because it is the latest as well as simple to install ( one build for both defy and defy+)

But if you want a stable build, check this. It is 2.3.7 gingerbread..(CM7)

No kernel flashing required for both the roms :)

Please press the thanks button if this post helped you :highfive:

PS: which language do you speak natively, maybe we can help you in that language :fingers-crossed:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] heidolow:
I'm not certain that this is where this post should go, however it seemed the most fitting for it. My android tablet (Arnova 7b G3) has only 4GB of internal storage, of which 2GB is allocated as storage, and the other reserved for firmware, apps and system etc. This makes it awkward when installing games for example which have a download size of 1.39GB (GTA: Vice City) that must be downloaded to internal memory as it leaves very little spare. The tablet divides the space into the following: Internal storage, and internal SD card.

Is it possible to merge the two partitions, seeing as a lot of the first partition is given to apps anyway it wouldn't be as though there was no space for firmware?

Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] Raubsau:
Hello,

I just patched pdroid2.0 into CyanogenMod 10 via ApG, everything went fine.

How do I configure PDroiD in a sensible way? I do want some apps (especially some system apps) not to be able to read contacts, call log etc.

Do I have to pick every app (93 of them after a "vanilla" install) and check/uncheck permissions by hand? Is there a way to have PDroiD show which apps want to access the call list and deactivate them with a single click? LBE Privacy Guard has this nice feature, and I would love to use it - if there is - with PDroiD.

Thank you and have a nice day!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WTVTom:
Hi All,

I searched but I couldn't find anything as specfic as mine so here we go :)

I recently restored my s3 (i9300) to stock DLJ4 4.1.1 from UltimaROM, it all works fine. The modem is DLID by the way. My phone is unlocked, and i'm on the Three network UK.

After a few days however, my phone suddenly switched to emergency calls only, however, the emergency calls never had signal and there was no way for me to recover this initially, so I left my phone overnight and by morning I had signal bars for emergency calls.

I also put my sim card in another smartphone to check that it was fine - it was.

So this morning I put the sim into the s3 and eventually, after searching for searching for networks, restoring default apns etc. I got the phone registered on 3 again. However this dropped out again after say 5 mins. So I repeated, and then after 5 mins it dropped out again. Which is strange...It is also worth noting that sometimes, when I scan for mobile networks to try connecting manually, upon completing the scan it will connect for this 5 mins period and then drop out again. Also sometimes it won't connect to the internet at all, no matter what i do, and this is where I'm at now.

Any suggestions.:confused::confused: Could this be a modem issue - but I want to avoid this because I just made the effort of going back to stock..

Thanks in advance

You should ensure that the firmware is available for your phone.

I know there are least three regions producing the GT-I9300 phone. They are China, South Korea and Vietnam. However, a large amount of product from Korea and Vietnam has the software problem so the phone bricks and they are most found from Taiwan and this also happens in some users in China. They need to change the components which is made in China in order to solve the problem. I don't know whether this happens in your country as well. Fortunately, I never heard this problem occurs in Korean version(SHV-E210S/K/L and SHW-M440S) although they are made in Korea.

If you have flashed any wrong recovery image.. your phone didnt boot up.. its stucked in LG logo.. and you cant enter the recovery mode...but you must be able to enter emergency mode(volume down+back+power button)..

Dont worry you can fix your phone yourself with easy steps.

since i have also gone through this problem and solved it.. i wanna share it over here...

Process:

1. Download and Install LG Mobile Driver.

2. Download LG 3G Mobile Download Program

3. Download partition.mbn file

4. Download recovery.img file.(you can change recovery file if you want.)

5. Copy LG 3G Mobile Download Program, partition.mbn and recovery.img in single folder.

6. Enter emergency mode and plug in the USB data cable.

7. Open LG 3G Mobile Download Program.

8. Click Select Port. It should automatically detect the device in emergency mode if u have install the driver properly.

9. Click Connect.

10. Click the top most Browse tab. And select the folder where you have copied the LG 3G Mobile Download Program, partition.mbn and recovery.img. And just click ok 2 or 3 times.

It will detect your partition.mbn and recovery.img file.

11. Click Start (it will take a while to load your recovery file, dont panic) and you are done.. your phone will be restarted

You have now unbricked your phone. Now you can enter to recovery mode and flash rom and start using your O1.. :good:

Hallo,

I would like some help rooting my S3.

I'm confused on which root method to use.

I do not want to flash a custom rom, just gain root acces.

Obviously I don't want to brick my expensive new phone, that's why I'm asking the experts here before I do anything.

Here are the full specs:

Model number: GT-I9300

Android version: 4.1.1

Baseband version: I9300XXDLID

Kernel version: 3.0.31-256827 (se.infra@SEP-67 #1)

Build number: JRO03C.I9300XXDLIH

Notice how the baseband version has a 'D' at the end, while the build number has an 'H'.. Don't know what it means but it might be worth mentioning.

What would be the best method for rooting my phone? Which package and which version of Odin do I use?

Thanks,
