[Nokia Lumia 800] pedrocel85:
Other devices had the same sandbox.

Instead of chit chating, here is some knowledge of boot process.

"The ARM9 is the primary processor. It boots first, executing the Primary Boot Loader (PBL) from on-board ROM at 0xFFFF0000 .

The MSM platform has the facility to force Secure Boot using the status of the FORCE_TRUSTED_BOOT Qfuse on-chip or a high-state BOOT_SCUR pin connected to GPIO95. In this mode the PBL verifies the signature of the SBL/OSBL before executing it,which verifies the REX/AMMS signature in the same way.

After some hardware initialisation the PBL reads the Device Boot Loader (DBL) from the first partition of the flash memory device (In Linux, mmcblk0p1).

DBL is part of Qualcomm's SecureBoot, which uses cryptography to guarantee that the boot-loader images haven't been tampered with. DBL configures the Cryptographic Look-aside Processor (CLP), a dedicated cryptographic co-processor, and other hardware sufficient to load and execute the Secondary Boot Loader (SBL) from a Flash memory device on EBI2 (External Bus Interface 2) from partition 3 (Linux mmcblk0p3).

The SBL, also known as the Operating System Boot Loader (OSBL), is loaded into memory at 0x8000000 (IMEM - Internal Memory, the MSM7230 package-on-package (PoP) RAM). This is the ARM9 Monitor (AMON). It provides an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) -like environment for controlling the boot process. After doing more hardware configuration including UARTs and USB (for potential remote console connections to the monitor) it loads the Applications processor Secondary Boot Loader (APPSBL a.k.a. hboot) on the ARM11 applications processor from partition 18 (Linux mmcblk0p18) into memory @ 0x8D000000 virtual, 0x00000000 physical.

It then loads and executes the combined REX/AMSS from partition 5 (Linux mmcblk0p5). The image contains the REX (Real-time EXecutive) which is an L4A Pistachio embedded micro-kernel and Iguana operating system combination, with extensive Qualcomm and HTC modifications and extensions.

REX is responsible for loading the firmware into the ancillary micro-controller (microP), digital signal processor and voice processor and initialising them. It runs in Security Domain 0 (SD0).

When the ARM11 starts REX unloads/disconnects its eMMC driver and from then on relies on remote procedure calls (RPC) via shared memory (SMEM) to the ARM11 application processor to read and write the eMMC. On the ARM11 side the Linux operating system uses the rmt_storage (remote storage) driver to handle such requests.

Finally on the ARM9 REX executes the Advanced Mobile Subscriber Software (AMSS). AMSS runs in Security Domain 1 (SD1)".

[Nokia Lumia 800] dravik:
Somebody mentioned ****ty talk.. The Android os is in fact much more open as the WP os. You can only run a not-marktplace application when you have already unlocked your device, and without any running application you wont be able to run any crashkernel.

The story about how the phone boots up doesnt matter much, as your mentioned method loads it after the kernel is already running.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Lanex777:
I don't know too much about the way the kernel works, but you can install apps if you have developer unlock. Anyone can do it. Probably you could install the xap pedrocel85 talks about this way. Sorry if it sounds noobish and doesn't help:p
[Nokia Lumia 800] dravik:
Thats true, infact a developer ( I got a student account myself ) can install 3 apps, on 3 different phones. But still, the XAP is generated by the Visual Studio compiler, which would block buffer overflows etc.

Hello was wondering if someone could help me I have a htc evo 3d I rooted it a few months ago and messed it up it just goes to the boot menu now when I boot it up and it says security warning relocked could someone direct me to a way of fixing this please its been lying ther and ive not been able to use it had to buy a new phone its a waste it lying there cheers.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kobz1973:
Right here's my scenario.

I use my phone as my music player for in car... Its connected via basic earphones Jack connection.

What I want to know is?

There any music player where I can just tap the device, whilst screen is locked to skip track. Maybe like one tap for next track and two taps for previous. Its just a pain to unlock then find music player just to skip track..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cdjones187:
If your running CM like your signature suggest, there are lock screen music controls built in, via the volume rockers. Press and hold the volume keys to switch tracks, up is next down is previous.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kobz1973:
Another problem for me, as my car Mount makes it difficult to get to these whilst driving
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meemo23:
You can buy an app called wave control from the app store. and set your swipe forward to change song and swipe backwards for back and previous song..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdUYwTJEKHs

In this video it doesn't show you that you can use it while the screen is off but i have it and it works while screen is off. Before you start driving just open the app start your music. Then lock your screen then you can use the hand gesture you set to change, go back and pause the music..

Just buy the app man it is totally worth the money..

hi guys ! i really like the phonebook of the new Xperia´s but there is a problem,when we replace the stock phonebook from one of this ones (like phonebook xperia go,xperia s,xperia t,etc) everytime that we uninstall any app it shows this error:

And i saw that almost all roms who change the stock phonebook has that "bug" :silly:,so i decide to find a solution cause its really annoying,even if everything work good,and i found the solution! its pretty simple actually :angel: ,seems that the problem its with the stock LocalContacts.apk,so i have take the Phonebook.apk and LocalContacts.apk from the Xperia T system dump,and put them in to system/app with the right permissions and i haven´t any errors when i uninstall apps! So ive decide to share this :cowboy: ,i have made a flasheable zip that puts the xperia t phonebook in your rom cause i think its the one who opens faster! here are the screenshot !

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gamer6592:
As stated in the topic, my phone is rooted and I am using Cyanogenmod Jelly Bean. I recently downloaded the game "100 Doors 2013" and EVERY time I play the game my phone crashes. I'm sorry if this is a kind of impossible to answer question but I'd like to see if anyone else has had this same problem and what could be causing it. For those of you who have played the game, you should know how simple of a game it is and thus I highly doubt the game is too big/resourceful for a powerful phone like the S3 to handle. RIGHT when it crashes it goes to the cyanogenmod screen with the blue spinning circle and then boots up again to my lock screen. I usually can't beat more than a full level at the most without it crashing. If someone could help me figure out what's going on with this I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sweeds:
Run this script

It seems the app is force restarting your phone. The Cyanogenmod logo you see is the boot animation.

This script will create a logcat (debug log) and save it out right before the system restarts. Someone may be able to decipher that for further information.

hello there and sorry to hear about ur problem i hav tested the game on a rom or two and had no issuses with it the best advice i can give u is to talk to the cook of the rom ur using meaning u hav to ask the guys on that roms page, we can all try and help u but understand u hav a custom rom that sum people use but not others like myself i hope that i was helpful as much as possible, also try to wipe ur phone to the way is was after u put the new rom on without adding any other apps then add ur game and test the game before u install ur other apps if it works then u know that one of the apps u hav added is giving u the problem

On my default stock ICS one x on ATT, the stock browser had flash enabled and I really like having that. Now that I'm on CM10, their stock browser doesn't seem to have flash and i also use chrome as my main browser (flashless). Is there any way to get a flash browser, or better yet, flash on the chrome browser?

Also as a side note, are ad blockers really necessary when browsing on phones? and if you guys think so, then whats the best adblocker to get?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] K.0.0.L.:
Do they make a screen protector for our Gnote 2 with only the speaker and home button cut out? Here is an example similar to what I am talking about.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/180898901835?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ffolkes:
I don't think they make any because the Note (and S3 I believe) have tapered glass on the sides, which means a protector would immediately lift on the edges.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Souai:
normally they dont because occasionally, on non-perfect applications, its possible to get dust trapped underneath the screen protector where the front camera and ambient sensors/proximity sensors are, which can interfere with the way they work.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] K.0.0.L.:
Oh. Ok

But I bought one for my epic 4g touch n sensor work flawlessly.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mexiking713:
I bought this one. I just installed it today. It has the hole for the home button, speaker, and camera. The sensors are covered. I like it because it protects the whole screen. Its a wet application if that matters to you.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...953037?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5650eddbcd
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] powerwagon:
Xtremeguard I believe has a protector that only has cutouts like you're looking for. I briefly had it on my phone, so can't 100% remember. Keep in mind though that any protector that goes right to the edge of the screen is going to suck with the s pen.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] K.0.0.L.:
Nice. The picture show kinda blue, is it really blue or just the picture only?

Thanks for the reply but I check on ebay and xtremeguard has cut out just like others but it does cover more area. I'm looking for a full screen

cover with only speaker and home button cut out.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] maxram:
I got mine from ishield. The wet application scared me but my phone was fine. It's really for sgn2. There's even a plastic sheet for the back with the cam and Flash holes.

3. Download .img file for latest twrp

Hello

I'm not really familiar with technology, so I'll try my best to explain. My device is an european samsung galaxy wifi 5.0(YP-G70CW), it is rooted. So everything was fine until somebody decided to press the update thing. Now the device won't start up, I get to see the samsung screen and it refreshes every time. I have acces to the android system recovery, and the download menu. I have already tried rebooting, wiping the cache, factory reset. None of these solved the problem.

I am highly unfamiliar with android and have almost no knowledge about this. How can I fix this problem? Please if you're willing to help me out, provide enough info so I can manage to solve this.

Thanks

It seems you are in a light brick state may be because of a incomplete flashing.

(For better details about your issue and the device state can you post the screen report done after a wipe or reset.)

Anyway,

Best is to reflash a stock rom with odin. Not any difficult just follow second post instruction (Thanks Zaclimon)

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lolo9393:
Congratulations!

about menu icons they come with the rom, so If you flashed a stock one it is easy to verify with Samsung ads for the similarity.

In my view your previous rooted rom was a mooded one. You may know better than me how and where it comes from.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] ewil1337:
Hey guys, a while ago I used the information found (now buried) in the thread "Bionic on Tmobile" to get my Droid Bionic working on Straight Talk network (using one of their sim cards), which is functioning almost perfect. A few months ago, even though I kept telling my phone "NO!", it decided to ignore me and download the OTA update, assuming it's for ICS. Twice a day I tell it "NO!" to installing the update, but getting tired of that, and want the bug fixes/updates on ICS now anyway.

I've been out of the coding/rooting/etc circles for a while now, haven't done much, so everyone is speaking greek now, lol! I need a very simple, laymans terms (click this, type THIS, flick this, etc) instruction, and I can't figure out if what I need is already posted or not.

Can someone help please? You may need extreme patience, but if the instructions are clear enough I can follow them without a problem :D.

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Caryllb:
I have the Galaxy Exhibit ii 4G. Prior to the most recent OTA update it was able to charge both third party as well as Samsung OEM batteries. After the update it no longer charges the 2 third party batteries I own but still is OK with the original Samsung battery. With the 3rd party batteries it gets a disconnect message regardless of whether the phone is turned on or off and regardless of what charger I use. When this happens it will no longer charge these batteries in the phone. These 3rd party batteries charge just fine outside the phone.

From all my tests is seems the charger is fine and the batteries are fine. So I believe there is an incompatibility issue between this latest update and certain 3rd party batteries. There is likely something in the updated battery charger program that is very, very finicky.

The kernel version I now have installed is: 2.6.35.7-perf-T679UVLG3-CL1165714

Samsung's response is simply that they don't support nonSamsung products; i.e. third party batteries. So far no one has given me a reply in the Tmobile forums. So I am still looking for a solution.

Has anyone else found this same problem? Is there a fix for this available? If not, what is the easiest way I can get back to my original build preferably without having to reinstall everything again? Is there a way to just simply uninstall that last update? Also, does resetting a phone back to Factory state relock the phone?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Caryllb:
All right!!!! With help from "OP" I got the problem fixed. Turns out there is a problem with the stock kernel not liking 3rd party batteries. So to fix the charging issue you must install a custom kernel.

I'm working on a set of instructions for this that list each and every step in detail, for us noobs, plus links to the relevant sites where I got the information. When it's together I'll post.
