[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeirdUncleDave:
After playing around with CM7, then GeeWiz, I decided to return to a rooted stock ROM. Everything went smoothly and the phone is working fine, but I was left with a few questions about CWM, and I'd like to increase my understanding. First, when I went from CM7 to GeeWiz, I ended up with CWM4. Not the "fixed for CM7", but cwm4-bml-i500.tar. I've read a lot about cwm4 being for MTD and 2.5 being for TouchWiz, but I assumed that bml in the filename meant that it would be OK for that partition map. In any event, I've never had any problems with it although I just flashed 2.5 back to be on the safe side. Is there any reason why I can't use it?

You might wonder what difference it makes since I went back to stock, which leads to my second question. After restoring the EH03 ROM and flashing the EH03 kernel over the GeeWiz kernel, I expected cwm to get overwritten by the stock recovery, but it didn't. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to keep cwm, but I don't understand. Almost everything I've been able to find online says that the stock kernel will overwrite cwm, although I did find one forum post somewhere (not on XDA) that indicated that if you're rooted cwm will stick. Can someone plese enlighten me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danlen85:
Greetings,

I need some help troubleshooting a problem I am having with my i9100 (Bell Canada).

Video Playback simply does not work properly on my phone. Happened a few months after the warranty.

I hoped flashing a new kernal and Rom might fix the problem. But it did not fix anything.

ISSUE IN-DEPTH: Videos I have recorded or uploaded to my phone do play but the video is virtually ALL NOISE and scrambled, audio works fine. I have tried various other Video players and had no luck.

I have the same issue with Youtube videos played in the Youtube app. However if I open up a browser and play Youtube videos in the browser, the video is fine. Once I throw the video into fullscreen, i get the scrambled image again.

I do not think it is a Hardware issue because taking pictures is fine. I also do not think it is a flash issue because I was not able to play videos on flash-supported OS ICS.

Here are links to images I took of the problem:

Current Phone setup:

Model: GT-i9100

Android Version : 4.1.2

Baseband Version: i9100XXLS6

Kernal Version: 3.0.30-462349

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Ok, I have been playing with my brother's lumia 900 and have got the data to work pretty easy but no matter how I try to get mms to work I can't figure it out. I am not at all familiar with it and frankly neither is he so what settings can I use to get it to work? I have tried setting it up with the nokia developers app but nothing.:confused::confused:

*Looks good (nobody like an ugly interface lol)

any help would be good. And it must have kies and samsung apps

I have tried Ottomon Rom, but doesnt do it for me. I have TWRP recovery.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BullHorn7:
All roms are pretty bad at the moment but I like CM10.1 Nightlies because they release a patch everyday so it feels like there's progress... With other roms you wait for over a month before you get a patch.

Found one here, where it is the cheapest I can find.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Whol...-4-0-Tablet-PC-GPS-Dual-SIM-3G/637617225.html

It did have all features such as HDMI, Bluetooth, GPS, and phone call function(3G/GSM) plus extra TV FM.

I wonder if anyone here had bought it and try the TV function yet? How is the HDMI perform (Audio+Video working) ?

I'm about to purchase it. Thanks.

I just don't get it, I've tried uninstall/reinstall the drivers (current) plus reboots and also multiple usb ports plus turned off all security on my pc just incase with no luck so WHAT IS GOING ON!!?:mad::(:crying:
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Anyone or any site to go to that deal more with computers, I know no links to other sites/forums but maybe PM me
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
Well... google knows almost everything :)

... But.. ."not connecting" isnt really much info to go on. Try to explain a bit better what happens and whats not.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
It keeps flashing the 'USB Debugging Connected' than sometimes the pop up comes up on phone to allow 'Charge Mode/Disk Drive' but not always and my computer (Win7) tries to install the driver, it just keeps saying not connected when open HTC Sync and yes have tried all USB ports and uninstalled drivers also under 'Device Manager' there are no exclamation marks anywhere
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Here something I do if something bugged me and can't fix it and that is to format windows lol.
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
lol yes, Im the same... fuking winblows :laugh:

But anyway... Have you tried on a different PC? Does it charge as it should through the usb ports?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Ya I wish I didn't game or I wouldn't even be using it. And I think he said he only got one the pc to try on but would be nice if a friend helped out to see if it his pc or the phone.

[HTC One S] glynevans:
I'm having a similar issue although I'm running Mac. Im running stock HTC rom and have just installed the update. When I plug the USB cable in I no longer get any connection options. HTC Sync can see my phone but I can't access the phone storage from my Mac anymore....Am I completely missing something or is anyone else having similar issues?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
This thread here might help you.

I think you need to download the driver
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
You did not read my OP right cuz I said all that in it so next please also I have 'Googled' everything and tried everything they say so any other thoughts, just want to get connected so I can flash ROMs once rooted?
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Anyone, please any ideas other than those posted and please read before posting something I've already done?

Thanks
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
Well, its hard to go further... Try a different cable and a different PC. If it doesnt work with that either its your phone thats fuked up, if it works its your PC.

When you know which is the culprit we can move forward and try to solve it.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Agreed need another pc to test with.
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
Go to recovery on phone and it should then be recognized by pc...preferably use twrp for recovery. From there you can even mount usb to move Roms to you sd.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Not rooted yet because of this issue so I found one thing that might work and will try later when home and that is what I found on Google after days of searching, restart the computer whole phone is shutdown and than turn on phone as computer boots up and see if it will than recognize the phone (crossing fingers)
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
Boot into bootloader and see if it's recognized by your computer. If it does then it's a Rom issue and you can factory reset from bootloader... (volume down + power) while phone is turned off
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
I'M NOT ROOTED, there for not on a ROM and not trying to be rude or unappreciative but please read my entire post thanks
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Well that worked:thumbup: but under 'Computer' on my Win7 pc out shows 2 kinda drives 'Removable G&F Disc Drives', when I click on then it says 'Insert Disc' and they weren't there before so I'm assuming they or one of then represent my device? :confused:
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
Thats normal... When USB Storage isnt activated on the device, you will see a "dummy disc" in the computer.

Once USB Storage is enabled that dummy will turn into the actual partition (/sdcard/).

The other one is something weird HTC placed there with JB... annoying as hell is what it is lol
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Well time to root on Sunday while watching playoffs :):thumbup:, thanks for sticking in there bro much appreciated also do you recommend 'HTC Sync' or 'HTC Sync Manager' since the latter is specific to the One devices?
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
Neither. Both are crap. But, you need to install Sync Manager in order to get the drivers for the one S. But after that, uninstall Sync :p

... Well you dont have to uninstall it, just remember to close it whenever you want to use adb.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
You don't need to install that just the drivers.
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
But its the easiest way to find the correct drivers.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Isn't it 'Disc Drive' that I select, I don't think there is a mass storage selection?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
When I got my phone I use All-In-One Toolkit to unlock it and it come with the drivers so didn't even have to look.

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------

On mine the storage shows up as with a MP3 Player icon.
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
I understand you are not rooted but the concept is the same...I read everything that you have said...many times lol. Removable drives are your virtual sd drives..

[HTC One S] Darknites:
Sorry had to and sorry Goatshocker for robbing your pic lol.
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
I know you know that but wanted to make it clear so you don't have OP looking for an mp3 icon on his computer lol
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Lol, I thought he was on JB.
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
meme's are a great way to express youself on the internet :laugh:
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
Lol it would be nice if he was because he said he would get the "charge/disc drive" notification which isn't a feature of jb...

OP- since your device was recognized in bootloader you should still be able to unlock and flash twrp recovery if your objective is to obtain root and flash custom roms. Hope this helps
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Oops missed that bit lol.
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
Just glad we cleared it up before he tells you to go read his posts again hahaha jk.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Its kinda reading my device (sorry guys), it comes and goes but only seems it connects when I shut my phone down and restart my computer so I'm wondering if it is actually cuz I'm not using the HTC usb cable that comes with the devices? I got the phone off some other guy and my Telus store checked it out and nothing is wrong with the device itself so I'm just going to buy or try to find/buy a proper HTC cable, thats all I can think of and again sorry. :(
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
Im using my ZTE Blade cable. So unless theres a physical error with the cable, the cable doesnt matter.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
I think it is the cable, I'll report back at a later time and just hope it all comes together :(
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
Can you boot your phone to the bootloader screen while plugged into your pc please? I want you to pay attention to whether or not it says "fastboot usb" or just "fastboot". If the first option says "Hboot" press the power button once. This will switch it to "fastboot mode" then check to see which of the two above show up. If it says fastboot usb then as I stated before there is an issue with your stock Rom and not your computer. A simple factory reset on your phone should fix this. If your wanting to root don't bother with a factory reset. If it says "fastboot usb" you are ready to unlock.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
It says:

HBoot (in Blue)

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

FACTORY RESET

CLEAR STORAGE

SIMLOCK

IMAGE CRC

SHOW BARCODE

Thanks
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
Assuming you are on the stock Rom hold power button then select power off. Once the phone is completely off press and hold volume down + power button until you see the white bootloader screen

---------- Post added at 03:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 AM ----------

Select "fastboot" from those options. Then "fastboot should go to where you see hboot now. See if it changes from fastboot to fastboot usb
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Yes it switched to FASTBOOT USB so if I only want to unlock bootloader/root and flash ROMs, than I should not do a 'Factory Rest' right just go ahead and follow the Unlock Bootload method and what comes after that?
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
Perfect. It's your phone not your computer :D if you were wanting to root and flash roms keep your phone where it's at and proceed to htcdev.com and unlock bootloader then "fastboot flash twrp recover. You can use one S all in one toolkit for the recovery flash
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
I type this in 'fastboot oem get_identifier_token' and it does not find it?
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
Do you have android sdk installed on your computer? Type fastboot devices then press enter. if it doesn't show your device number then you don't have the fastboot drivers installed
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Can I do this all with 'Hasoon's All In One Tool Kit', I have to get the tolken id right so can it all be done via the kit?
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
Yeah download that kit then start the one S application. Click boot into bootloader. Your phone should go to where you saw fastboot usb. Now type fastboot devices. If it shows your device then type fastboot oem get_identifier_token and press enter. Copy that token by right clicking then select mark. Highlight it then press enter.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
K will try later and thanks for your continuous help, hopefully this all works so I can get on JellyBam/JB lol and be good to go
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
I got all the way to getting the 'Tolken ID' emailed to me but it shows up as a 'VLC' file instead of the way it looks in 'Hasoon's' videos and when I go to the next step 'Unlock Bootloader' it just hangs there most likely cuz the file is not what it reads, that is the way it was emailed to me from 'HTC Dev' site? DAMN!
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
You probably have .bin files associated with VLC, nothing to care about, just copy the file to the same location as fastboot.exe
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
What file type should it be like does it matter if it is 'VLC' or 'Explorer' type files, should the 'Hasoon's' tool kit still recognize it cuz it seems to sit there 'Sending kbs..' but nothing after this also have to wait now cuz battery is drained? :(
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
The association doesnt matter - that only tells windows what to do when you double-click the file. You can still use it as you wish - in this case fastboot flash it.

No idea why it seems to freeze. Never used any toolkit (command prompt ftw)
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Sorry bro about lagging this thread on but what step should I take from here, just continue with the Hasoon's Tool Kit after my battery charges up?

Thanks
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
Im not sure what step you are on, but I followed this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1583427

It worked perfectly fine.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Yep thats what I'm using lol, I'll keep going when my phone charges up and get back at ya and thanks for still jumping in bro. :good:
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
I followed all instructions on that page but when I type in 'CMD' window the 'adb devices' it basically acts like I don't have them installed, I installed everything and I'm still hung up at 'Unlock Bootloader' cmd window saying 'Sending Unlocktoken' kbs..........
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
did you cd to the path were fastboot.exe and adb.exe is located? I for example placed them in a folder called "fastboot" directly in the root of C:\, so for me its cd C:\fastboot

You might also need to add ".exe" behind, as in - instead of "adb devices", type "adb.exe devices".
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
In my 'C drive' my 'Fastboot' folder is outside or in the same row as 'AndroidSDK' folder with the files, is that normal or should I move what where and do this to what (sorry) bro also did what you said and still did not show up?
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
It should be a .bin file sent as an attachment. Right click on the file and change the program it opens with in properties... Vlc is trying to associate the file lol

---------- Post added at 03:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 AM ----------

Open the command window and a windows explorer window...where you see your documents... In the command window type cd then put a space. Go back to your windows explorer window click on your c drive then android sdk then drag the platform-tools folder over to the command window and drop it and press enter. Now you should be set to start entering adb commands.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Did this and now my pc recognized 'Android' trough adb by doing this guys thing I found on Google lol, I'll find out later if it all works fully now.:

Step 1 - Press Win + R on your keyboard to bring up the Run dialog.

Once the Run box is open, type in sysdm.cpl and hit OK

Step 2 - Once you hit OK, the System Properties panel should open; click on the Advanced tab:

Step 3 - From the Advanced tab click on Environment Variables - At the Environment Variables window find where it says Path under System variables, click on it, and click the Edit button: - When the Edit System Variable window pops up, type in ;C:\Android at the very end and hit OK: -

Step 4 - Make sure you type in exactly ;C:\Android (be sure to include the semi-colon at the beginning).

After clicking OK, close out all windows. You are done
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
The file did come as a .bin file it was just showing up as a VLC file (look) and the rest of your comments, I don't understand what in the world that means (Windows Explorer) (sorry) lol?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Wait what you don't know what windows explorer is? please say I reading that wrong lol. And what he say is a shortcut to add a path to CMD but no need for a short path that you using.
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
Hmm....

Honestly? If you dont even know what windows explorer is, I'd think very carefully before proceeding with what youre attempting if I were you...

Despite all guides and walkthroughs, what youre about to do is quite advanced, and it requires some decent computer-knowledge in order to get it working and fixing the errors you might run into in the future...

To put it straight out with no sugarcoating: The odds of you ending up with a brick, with your knowledge, is fairly high.

If you are aware of that and are willing to take the risk, then proceed with the process, but be prepared to the worst.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
I know what Windows Explorer is lol, it's just never been mentioned through this whole thread and doing what I just did allowed my computer to communicate my device with 'Android Debugging Bridge' I'll try what was mentioned above but now that adb worked to recognize my device what should I be worried about? (sorry). I've followed the other steps and no connection, all I'm saying is that even on Google searches many others had issues with Win7 and now 8 not communicating with their devices?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Lol thank god. Em try the Toolkit again see if that's working for you now. I used the Toolkit to unlock my Bootloader but it was with v1.1 but that shouldn't matter.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Thanks for the continuing faith lol but sorry, have to get up at 5:30am and phone is charging and appreciate this help so I will start again as soon as I get home will report back with good news tomorrow guys. :good::D

Thanks
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
Lol
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
The phone is still charging even if youre flashing roms etc, as long as its still connected to the PC.

So you dont really need to wait for the phone to be charged before playing around :).

Of course, doing it when the battery is at 0% isnt the smartest thing to do, but anything above 10% is more than enough safety marginal.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Oh and just to let you guys know, the page where I took the above method from was off of 'Bleeping Computer.com' just saying that I'm not just taking some fly by night online page info to be the best option. ;)

Regarding this:

All that does is adding a "shortcut" (simple explanation) for adb in cmd, so you can run "adb whatevercommand" without the need of being in the same folder as adb.exe.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
What about this crap now? :(:banghead:
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
Request a new unlock code......it's only good for one use. Now that you have adb working start from the beginning at htcdev. This happened to me after I relocked my bootloader then went back to unlock with my previous code. (I know you haven't unlocked yet but you have tried sending the original code more than once...)
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
I did that but I think the issue lies with the way the file comes through, it does not look like the way the file should be so is there a setting on my computer (Win7) that I can adjust to have the file come across the way it supposed to look like? First time it was a 'VLC' file but I got rid of VLC since I don't really use it, now they come across as a 'Note' or 'Explorer' looking file I just want to get going ya know? :crying:
[HTC One S] Darknites:
To me I just think the system is bugged but file associations isn't messing you up.
