[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] wonglokat:
Hello guys,

I'm looking into the Xperia P and I would like to make a backup of the recovery partition.

For now I know that this is the partition in /dev/block/mmcblk0, but I'm not able to create a backup of it with cat or dd. The created file just grows up to 4GB and then the process dies.

The tool /sbin/fota-ua says some interesting things like

Info [153] EMMC using: /dev/block/mmcblk0 (size 15267840 kB)
Info [135] partition id: 0
Info [136] partition name: FOTAKernel
Info [137] partition start: 86016
Info [138] partition length: 32768

I'm pretty sure the partition size isn't 15267840 kB but rather only bytes :laugh:

My goal is to have a recovery.img file that I can mount with Ubuntu. Things like

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0 skip=86015 count=32768

returned rubbish. It would be great if anyone could help me, I really want to know what files are in this partition. I don't want to edit them and flash them back on the phone or something.

Thanks in advance

Brandon

So I'm on a rooted and debloated stock Rom. When I first installed, YouTube would only work over WiFi, on mobile data would always get connection to server failed. It quit doing it a few weeks later. Now its doing it again and nothing in the forums I've found will make it work. Deleted, reinstalled, played with apn settings, everything. I'm on 4g so it should work. Related videos and comments load immediately, just no video. Any thoughts?

Also noticed that I can't send mms messages when its doing this. Can receive though. So whatever causes YouTube to not work is also affecting the ability to send mms.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinrubio1:
where do the other 3 GB go?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltatux:
Formatting and other partitions, the ~13 GB is for /system, /data, /sdcard partitions but there are other partitions in the Android OS as well that you can't see as they have been hidden such as recovery, boot and radio. Plus, some of that is lost due to formatting overhead and etc.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeteRooney:
Sorry if this question has been asked before, but it's Sunday night and I've spent 2 days trying to sort it out - Mr Nexus is about to take a trip through the window...

* My new Nexus 7 (purchased on 31/12/12) was immediately able to connect to my Dell Dimension desktop running XP SP3, but after I had to rebuild the latter after a hacking attack (complete format & XP reinstall), it couldn't see the Nexus anymore - it just reports that a connected device is malfunctioning.

* I know that the Nexus is OK because it is instantly recognized by a Win7 laptop.

* I know that the USB ports on my PC are OK because they work with other external drives.

* So far, I have installed Windows Media Player 11 as I have read that is supports (installs?) Media Transfer Protocol, which the Nexus apparently needs, but this doesn't work either. I have read the driver downloads section of the Dell site to see if I can update the USB drivers, but there doesn't seem to be anything there either.

* The annoying thing is that at some point I MUST have installed whetever it is on the PC that allowed it to talk to the Nexus, but I can't for the life of me think what is it.

Please can some kind soul out there help me? All suggestions gratefully received.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
Dell XP needs to have Nexus 7 (usb) drivers installed for it to properly recognize the device and open/read the /SD card or internal storage - suggest that you start reading / looking at using something like the Nexus 7 Toolkit - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1809195

- also, check under Settings / Developer's Option that USB Debugging is turned on / checked or enabled if you are planning to root, etc.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeteRooney:
The Nexus that wouldn't

Sorry, folks, nothing I seem to do allows me to transfer files from my stonehenge PC to my Nexus. I even installed the Nexus 7 toolkit (featured elsewhere on here) and attempted to install drivers from that, but I don't think that that's the correct route either, as I'm not really sure whether the toolkit is aimed at my simple requirements or if it's more of a hacking tool.

All XP continues to tells me is that a device connected to my computer is malfunctioning. The REALLY annoying thing us that it has worked in the past and just doesn't work now since the rebuild.

Does anyone out there have any more suggestions, please?

Thanks in advance. :confused:

I have a mac so can't test it out but would something like this work? I know it's an old driver. http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

Or maybe just install the SDK from the same site?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
Assumed that OP has tried using different USB ports on the Dell and used diferent micro-usb cable, including the original one provided by Nexus in trying to get the connection working again, and also clean the N7's micro-usb port for dust & dirt, it could be bad or corrupted drivers from other devices causing the read/access errors - find them & delete/freeze them, reboot & re-insert. Also, try rebooting the N7 with the connected cable while rebooting/restarting the Dell.

Otherwise, try and borrow someone else's PC clean running XP or Vista or Win 7 - it should recognize the device & begin loading new drivers for the N7. System was rebuild so it should be relatively clean and good as new.

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmvyas:
1st thing you should remember is ....read.....& read, to be informed about what exactly you will be getting into...;)

To install any custom ROM, you will have to flash a custom recovery for your phone :fingers-crossed:, after rooting ( which you have already done )

Read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1197991 for installing custom recovery.

The OV thread here http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1089 has some custom ROMS which you can try out after flashing the custom recovery :D

I use an Optimus One & I can say this, for O1, dev's have managed to circumvent various obstacles ( Outdated processor, less memory, no support from Qualcomm etc ) and come up with fairly stable & working JB, though with some issues - battery drain, a few pure JB features.

For the OV, I do not know, but glancing through the OV thread, I do not see a proper working JB yet.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grigtm:
why do you want JB ???????, there are few devices with JB, O1/V does not have the hardware for JB( optimus 4x HD doesn't come with JB stock), try ICS, browse for roms and read feedbacks and if you like one try it

most easy for recovery, playstore-->romanager-->install it-->flash clockworkmod recovery-->serach a custom rom

read carefully devs posts, do not skip anything, read feedbacks from users, press THANKS if u like a rom that u instaled and use it

ROM Manager bad

The poster above me recommend installing Rom Manager to flash a recovery do not do that, cause the recovery that it flashes is old and does not work with most OV screens.

Download my recovery just Google ZenGraden Recovery to download it.

Then install Recovery Flasher Utility from Google Play to flash the recovery.

Note my recovery is a touch screen one, but before you start flashing ROM'S Google search IHO ROMS or go to Android Central where most ROM'S are post for the OV.

as long as I use a rom with cyanogenmod base I'll use cwm

bytheway, good job with the recovery, but it is based on cwm

maybe you shoud talk to moderators to let you post in dev section with that recovery

you cannot connect a stock device as mass storage, but whenever you connect it you can scroll down the status bar and choose MTP so you can browse your device at "my computer".

about kies, i'd suggest re installing kies to the latest version.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveR1:
Hi All,

I've done literally weeks of research on this, so hopefully I've not missed any easy posts, but I want to check my approach and ask a final question. This is my daily phone, and while I know the risks and issues with custom roms, I want to get it right. Hope someone can advise.

ROM I want to install is Quarx's JB 4.1.2 CM10.

Phone I have is UK Motorola Defy (Red Lens, original):

System version: Blur_Version_2.21.0.MB525.Retail.en.GB

Model Number: MB525

Firmware version: 2.1-update1

Baseband version: EPU93ST2_U_03.02.00

Kernel version: 2.6.29 a5439c@zch45lnxdroid24 #1

My plan is:

1. Official upgrade to Froyo - it seems this is not yet done on mine, and custom ROMs require its Kernel, I read

2. Root phone - SuperOneClick

3. Titanium Backup - Needs Root

4. ClockWorkMod Recovery - Needs Root, and gives me Nandroid Backup capability in BootLoader

5. Nandroid Backup - this should provide me a route back to stock (* see question below)

6. Flash ROM - this will give me CM10 based on Jelly Bean 4.2.1

Question is, despite reading many threads, I'm still confused on CG versions and SMG file versions (CG##.smg). I do want to be able to flash back to stock after this, in case I want to sell the phone - if I flash up to Quarx's CM10 JB 4.1.2, what CG version is it and is it higher than I can possibly get back to stock from? Or can I find a Fixed SBF of a Stock ROM that will let me go back? How can I best prepare for this?

Anything else to be aware of or concerned about?

Thanks very much.

Steve.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
The easiest approach is to directly flash cm10 first and check off it works(you can flash back your stock sbf if there's any problem) because CM10 WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CG VERSION:)

The potential problem you can face(which can not stop you from stock sbf flash) is an incompatibility of 2ndboot with your stock kernel.

If you run into that problem (which I think should not occur) you will have to flash a compatible sbf, with higher cg version and a compatible stock kernel.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveR1:
Thanks - good to know CM10 has no CG version. I expected the developers to want to get rid of that kind of limitation as soon as they could!

Hmmm, so could someone confirm, that Quarx's CM10 will flash directly over the stock 2.1 Eclair ROM as listed above (with root/CWM), and doesn't need Froyo deployed as a base? That would really help if so - then I have no further considerations and I can just get on with it. I'll take it carefully and I'd rather not be faced with non-booting etc the first time round.

I believe wifi tethering doesn't work on it, though, or there's some problem with restarting regarding wifi tether. That's a shame, but maybe an app like Barnacle or OpenGarden can work instead...?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
You could try it yourself by taking a Nandroid backup and if you face the non booting problem then flash stock sbf+ restore. Beware that sometimes first boot hangs or bootloops and in such cases you can fix the problem with a battery pull, or data wipe respectively

Open garden works without issues

Hit thanks!:D

Hello my friends,

I recently got my GoClever A971 tab. The device was allready with root access and had a bootloader(?) so i installed the cm10 mod.

Now my toucpad is not working, so i can only use my mouse on it. But the real problem is that now i cant get back to the bootloader cuz everytime i try i get the dead droid in a triangle with a red '!' over it. I googled like mad but to no avail.

So i am asking if there is anyother way to flash my tablet other than using the bootloader?

This is an audio enhancement mod that offers several different options and combinations.

From the OP:

● Sony Clearaudio Plus system (an amazing technolgy to enhance clarity of Bass and provide several effect like Clearphase, Clearbass, SRS surround,...)

● Beats Audio Engine (we ported latest beats engine from HTC one XL, and modded it a lot to be great handled by Clearaudio, it improve greatly Bass power and overal surround effect)

● Cyanogen DSP features (it helped a lot to handle better in app Equaliser)

● Dolby Digital Sound (overall better audio clarity with way more natural sound and some awesome features like SRS Wow and Dynamic Bass range)

● Sony Xloud (enhance noticably speaker quality in terms of clarity and volume, it help to ensure there is no distorion in sound even in headset, better balanced treeble and crystal voice)

● Eizo Rewire PRO series (an awesome Audio tool wich brings lots of effect and claim to offer a better balanced and natural Sound)

● AC!D Audio Parts (Huge optimisation in overall sound quality due to some optimisation, some tweaks, some audio rendering and resampling and even more... some Huge work have been done already)

I have tested it on the Infuse running MIUI 3.1.11 which is based off of Scott's 4.1.2 build Nov. 04, 2012.

It should work on any ICS/JB build you are running on your Infuse.

I downloaded option 1, Aroma.

My choices were: what phone?= universal, build prop.= Samsung, Walkman= skip, option= Noozide.

These settings work fine- you are free to choose any setup you prefer.

Remember to wipe cache and dalvik and follow setup instructions in the OP.
