[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jomari29:
im in 4.2.1 at the moment and I notice that this firmware is not getting much ROM and kernel support as compared to 4.1.2...

like Inked screen, multiwindow, Gallery and Task Manager mods..

dont forget Paranoid Android...

so what exactly is the future? (or upper hand) 4.2.1 or 4.1.2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
4.2 is custom like supernexus, no 4.2 stock version for our device yet.

Sent from the little guy
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cabbyz:
4.2 is custom at the moment where as 4.1.2 was just released officially.

You will find much more support for 4.1.2 for that reason alone, being that there is a higher chance people will be on this firmware.

You can run modded deviations, run stock 4.1.2 or stock based firmwares as well..

If you want those features you are better off going to 4.1.2, i tried 4.2.1 but ended up going back to 4.1.2 because i wanted those features

I'm curious. I recently had an unlocked at&t note that I used on tmobile. I was also using a tmobile modem which enabled me to get 4g instead of edge. Now I have an unlocked at&t s3 that I am using on tmobile. Am I able to flash one of the tmobile modems for the s3 to my unlocked at&t s3? I know it would be easier to just get a tmobile s3 but I had a note 2 and it got destroyed so I had to grab a phone fast and I got a great deal on this at&t s3 so I'm stuck with it for now. I already have the tmobile modems just want to be sure if its safe to flash first. Don't want to brick my phone. Any help is appreciated and thank you in advance to anyone who may have an answer for me.

you could check your radio settings preference *#*#4636#*#* using the stock dialer and try wcdma preferred

it would be in the Device information area. scroll down under set preferred network type

other way with JB would be Settings>More settings>mobile networks>Network mode

there it has less choices.... I have LTE/GSM/WCDMA (auto mode) selected there.

Or:

If the code does not trigger the Testing menu, get Phone Info from the market it's free and gets you to that settings menu.

Good Luck!

Hey, I think I have a solution for your problem :

1-download the latest flashtool (9.10.1) from here http://androxyde.github.com/index.html?1354155165000

2-try flashing it again

3-if it still doesn't work then go to flashtool's installation directory for ex : (C:\Flashtool) and open Devices-->R800 and copy loader_unlocked.sin

to SK17 folder and there you go try flashing it again

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ega972:
Dear all master in here,

I wanna ask something, I wanted to make small modification to my systemui.apk.. I saw my friend running his phone (thunderbolt) changing the signal icon from 1x into 4G.. I wanted to do it on my shift, so I can bragged around even I didn't have a 4G access.. just for fun you know.. :)

I tried to only rename the icon name but it seems too much to rename and I can't pick it up one by one..

If the only way is to rename it one by one, can somebody tell me which file I need to change..?

I wanted my wifi signal symbol became 4G signal symbol.. :)
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad The Pathfinder:
Try this if you use 7zip. copy your apk into an empty folder. right click it and chose "extract here". When it opens up go into res/drawable-hdpi. In here you can change the icons but don't change the names. Give the one you want to use the name of the one in use and delete the old one. You might have to do this in the framework-res apk too. And the com.htc.resources apk if on sense. To zip it back up, highlight the parts of the apk you want to zip and right click. Using 7zip, left click "add to archive..." then rename it systemUI.apk instead of systemUI.zip and click ok.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ega972:
Ok, then the only way is to change it manually,

Could you tell me sir which file i should replace inside the systemui.apk..? I wanted to use newRunny for this, as I found out it quiet stable for me, beside the calendar widget and 4G.. :)
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strapped365:
There are so many ways to do this. Here is another

Basically all you have to do is open the apk with 7zip and drag the res folder to desktop, look for what the image name of the wifi indicators are. already have all your 4G images on the desktop and rename them to what the wifi images are, drag them back into the res folder you pulled from the apk. Overwrite the wifi images and drag it back into the apk.

Or another

Decompile the apk. Find images you would like to replace and name the new images the same as the ones you want to replac, put the new images in the decompiled apk. Then recompile and resign if needed.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ega972:
Ok then.. I thought there is another way to do it. My friends told me some site that can manipulate systemui.apk,, but there is no choice to edit systemui.apk for evo shift.. only for some newer device like thunderbolt, sensation, evo lte.. :(

BTW I'll try your way sir.. I'll posted the result.. thanks

Thanx
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigSplit:
System apk's & jar's need to preserve the signatures they have on them(or have signatures that match the rest of the system), that is more then likely why you had trouble before with framework-res.

Some of the methods mentioned above are ways to add the files you changed back into the original apks/jars, which keeps the signatures in tact.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madaditya:
So simple opening(not exrtacting) framework-res.apk through 7zip...replacing images and flashing is quite valid and expected to work?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strapped365:
Yes sir that should work for images only
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNexus:
Yup, because essentially its just a zip file, and like was said when you extract it you lose the "signature" that was placed on the original signed one

[Android Software Development] iRiKi:
Hello everybody,

I've been trying to hack a kernel in order to enable charging my RockChip 3066 tablet when in USB OTG (Host) Mode. I know it has been done before for the Nexus 7, but the code is totally different and since I have a limited experience hacking Linux kernels (although I'm familiar with C code), I'll ask here for help in this great community :)

So, I've narrow it down to some files and also found out the variable and the function that turns on the vbus power to the devices:

file: dwc_otg_cil.c

/* Turn on the vbus power. */
DWC_PRINT("Init: Port Power? op_state=%d\n", _core_if->op_state);
if (_core_if->op_state == A_HOST)
{
hprt0.d32 = dwc_otg_read_hprt0(_core_if);
DWC_PRINT("Init: Power Port (%d)\n", hprt0.b.prtpwr);
if (hprt0.b.prtpwr == 0 )
{
//hprt0.b.prtpwr = 1;
dwc_write_reg32(host_if->hprt0, hprt0.d32);
}
}

The variable in question is the prtpwr which is an unsigned int, that when its value is 1, it represents that vbus should be turned on, ie, power must be sent *from* the tablet to the USB port (which is what we don't want).

The dwc_write_reg32 function then takes the variable hprt0 which is a struct of type hprt0_data representing a series of register bits, (including the prtpwr), and writes that . I've commented 3 times in the code where hprt0.b.prtpwr = 1, in order not to send power to the USB. In theory, it should work. In practice, it doesn't.

I'm thinking it could be the Y-cable that was home made, because the tablet has an old mini-usb connector instead of micro-usb.

In order for me not to get in trouble because of IP, instead of attaching the files I'll give you the URLs where you can take a look at the source:

Hello,

can anyone suggest how to recover HTC magic after flashing Rogers RUU official over custom rom.

ROM update was aborted on updating system partition.

Problem is that I can't upload any part of rom because phone is now S-ON. I'am getting signature error.

Flashed RUU: 42) [xda-ftp] [4shared] 3.54.631.3 Rogers Canada + [SAPPIMG.ZIP format]

ADB is no longer possible. Only FASTBOOT and RUU USB.

See attched photo for fastboot details.

Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DasBub:
I went through a similar problem. My 32A was in the same state except for the radio; I had no system installed, S-ON, RUU mode, and a radio/spl mismatch. It looks like you at least have a proper radio/spl combo.

Before we do anything else, try flashing the RUU again. Were you using the ZIP file or the EXE? Use the ZIP, at least you won't have to load up that crappy HTC interface.

If the RUU fails again, see if you can find the log file from the installation. It'll be on your system's drive, probably in "C:\ruu_log" or something like that. It can tell us what error it found.

In my case, we (mumilover and I) had to upgrade HBOOT and "sort of unlock it" using HTCDEV's method. Then we were able to install a custom recovery, and then everything got very easy.

Let's see if the simple things work before we have to do the harder things :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pero256:
Thnak you very much for hint with HTCDEV. Now I have at least fastboot :)

RUU image allways fail at signature error. OI have tried three of them. Same error.

I have run RUU under fastboot usb.

Also I can't flash recovery image even I have successfully unlocked hboot with htcdev.

C:\ADB>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-magic.img

sending 'recovery' (2642 KB)... OKAY [ 0.923s]

writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allow)

finished. total time: 0.926s

Any other idea ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DasBub:
Could you give me the new details of the fastboot page? Your HBOOT version will have changed, and it will say "UNLOCKED" or "RELOCKED" at the top and S-ON. If it says "RELOCKED", try running the HTCDEV unlock command from fastboot again (you should still have the Unlock_code.bin file in your email) and then reboot.

Let's see how that goes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pero256:
I have attached Fastboot details.Status is: UNLOCKED.

But when I try to flash recovery I get an error message which I already wrote.

I think it is because of S-ON which is checking signature.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DasBub:
Sounds reasonable. I wish I kept better notes :) That way I wouldn't have to re-learn things every time.

I just want to make sure I understand the timeline of events:

You said you tried to flash an RUU over an existing custom ROM install, right?

What was the configuration of your phone before you tried the RUU and ran into trouble? If you were running a custom ROM, did you have a magic SPL or a custom recovery in order to install that custom ROM?

Anyway, on to the work:

Let's see if we can get an RUU to work now.

Go to the command prompt and run "fastboot getvar version-main" and let us know what it is, for future reference.

Once we know that, we can find a higher-numbered RUU from this list of Official RUUs.

I think I ended up using BrightStar Brazil, but anything higher than your phone's reported main version should work.

Have you made a goldcard? If you try to use an RUU and it complains about your CID, this will help.

Before you try to install an RUU, you will need to relock the bootloader using "fastboot oem lock" (you'll be able to unlock it again using the Unlock_token.bin)

Place the SAPPIMG.zip of the RUU in the root folder of your SD card and reboot into HBOOT (or reboot to fastboot and select HBOOT).

After a few seconds it should start scanning your SD card and then it will try to use the SAPPIMG.

Let us know.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pero256:
Yes I had custom rom with s-off. But can't remeber which version.

Than I tried to install RUU: 42) [xda-ftp] [4shared] 3.54.631.3 Rogers Canada + [SAPPIMG.ZIP format]

Than I get error while flashing.

Strange thing is that I get this now:

C:\ADB>fastboot getvar version-main

version-main: 3.54.0.0

finished. total time: 0.001s

So it seems that I have lower version than I tried to install ;)

I didn't try to use goldcard for now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pero256:
I have created Gold Card using this link: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/

I have to use another HTC phone (Wildfire) to get CID from HTC Magic SD card

I have tried to put 3.54.631.3 Rogers Canada rom as SAPPIMG.zip but HBOOT claims that there is no image.

I get: Loading...(SAPPIMG.zip) No image!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pero256:
I forget to say that I have set HBOOT to RELOCKED state before using GOLD CARD and SAPPIMG.zip
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DasBub:
1) Check the filename. Make sure it is "SAPPIMG.zip" exactly, with SAPPIMG in capital letters.

2) Run these fastboot commands and then switch back to HBOOT mode.

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot oem eraseconfig

This procedure has fixed SD card problems in the past.

3) Check the SD card using a computer or another phone to be sure that the file is on the card. I've had Windows unmount the card improperly a few times, so that's a possibility.

4) Compare a checksum of the original ZIP file to the checksum of the ZIP on your SD card. I use 7-Zip to get the checksum, but there are other ways.

5) You can download another copy of the SAPPIMG.zip file.

It also helps to wave a dead chicken over the phone as an offering to the phone god. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pero256:
Unfortuntly can't get goldcard to work.

I have used 3 different SD card.

1. 2GB

2. 2GB

3. 1GB

Non of them works.

Also everything is fine in the process of creating them.

Problem is about loading to phone SAPPIMG.zip of 3.54.631.3 Rogers Canada rom.

Phone starts to Checking..(SAPPIMG.zip) and then after some period of time stops and waits to press:

1. (back) FastBoot Mode

2. (send) Simlock

I have try to start another flash but get the same result.

So it seems that the gold card is not working as it should because phone is still checking uploaded rom image.

Is there some SD card that works 100% ?
