Hi, there is a huge interest in other communities about what you are doing in here. I can say only one word, unbelieveable.

I have a few questions,

1- has anyone tried to do the same using any other Pocket PC?

2- is there any thoughts about to create a version of mkrom for Windows (I believe that the current one is for Linux)?

TIA
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Hark0:
Hello!

I have very interested in mkrom version for windows too....

P.S. Frank, please email-me if you have more info about this topic. :)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
Ehm, Windows as in the 95/98/ME/2000/XP family of desktop Operating Systems does not run from ROM, it runs from disk. It does not have persistent RAM, and as such does not have a cold-boot vs. warm-boot, unless you count OS installation as a cold-boot.

You can modify properties of the installation procedure using installation scripting, and you can 'freeze' an install you like by creating an 'image backup' of the drive it's installed on.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
Duh! The above shows how dense I can be. Ofcourse you mean running mkrom on Windows instead of unix, not running mkrom for Windows.

You should be able to run it on Windows already, if you install the ActiveState perl environment and mess with it little.

I'm thinking maybe we should offer an environment through a perl script and samba or ftp right here... Hmmm...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Guest:
Yes we were talking about to run the mkrom on windows.

What you are saying about the Perl enviroment could be a solution but I'm not really familiar with that. Could be simplest to recompile or create a version of mkrom for Windows (to run on windows)?

I know you are busy guys but I think you have not understood the magnitude of what you have done. Right now you can find 1000s of users willing to modify the ROM of there PPCs, no matter what kind of PPC they have. So please... think with a wider perspective.

I have a few things I have tried in my page www.pc-counselor.com/e740rom.htm and as you can see there, in the case of a Toshiba e700 series is very easy to get a copy of the rom and put it back. A lot easier than in HP devices. ;)

That was me in the previous message, I did not notice I was not logged. Sorry
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ctitanic:
Keep in mind that for those who are not familiar with Linux and perl, etc all these instructions sound like chinise.

:lol:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Guest:
You could also use a CD-ROM version of Knoppix.

No hassle to install Unix, just boot from CD and make one of your HD partitions write-enable. :D
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Guest:
is this right

XDA- developers, Jeff, anyone else,

Could you confirm that this procedure is correct, before we start shooting ourselves in the foot! :shock:

Regards

Alex
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
Does cygwin have perl installed by default?

Jeff did something else we recommended, which is take the files needed for EzWAP from a machine with the O2 ROM installed, and copy them to one of the files directories of the new ROM.

But EzWAP is quite large, so if you never use WAP you could copy other stuff there that more suits your needs.

Otherwise, the above procedure looks correct at first sight. Mind you we use a Linux box, and we have no experience doing this under Windows.

We recommend all people that burn ROMs they built themselves have an PC SD-card writer have experience using 'XDArit', so they can always use the bootloader method to get back to where they were. Flashing the .nb1 file using 'XDArit' and an SD card is marginally safer, since using 'Programme A' could overwrite your bootloader if something went really, really wrong.

Once you have established a new ROM will get the unit back up to the point where it connects via ActiveSync, others can flash it without too much danger. But if you want to avoid all danger and be completely on the safe side then do not make your own ROMs...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Guest:
Thanks for the answer, Peter Poelman

no it doesn't, I suggested...

Thanks for the additional info and the warning.

I love what you guys are doing here!

Ben
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] kalex:
I'm using the NK.nbf that came from Jeff's download. this is the one that has ezwap files in it? If so can i download o2 rom update from there website and use it to build a custom rom? i don't need ezwap on my ppc and rather use it for something else. is my logic correct?

thanks

alex
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
Correct. You can download mkrom like it is now, not add the EzWAP files, and you'd have more space for your own stuff in there.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cerberos:
If you want to check that two files are identical, try the unix 'diff' command (which should have been installed with cygwin)

Hey ,

I have Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 was using GingerDX v29 2.3.7.

Couple days ago , I was thinking of my selling my smart phone so formatted my smartphone ( factory and SD card ). Later changed my mind and reinstalled and start using again .

Few hours ago , I tried to upgrade to newer version i.e. v31 released date 08/03/2013 but now its stuck on Sony Ericsson screen. I tried restarting by pulling out the battery , connected with SEUS ( it was just showing green LED light only ) but nothing happened.

Please help me in this regard, as I am frustrated with all this . :'(

[HTC Wildfire S] Pr3no:
When I'm at home I don't need screen security, but it's annoying to always turn it on and off, so I hope there's an app that does that automatically.

I've heard that it is possible to do that with Tasker, but a free app would be better.
[HTC Wildfire S] heavy_metal_man:
I use unlock with wifi :) its free on the market. All you need to do is add your wifi connection to the app and then every time you connect to the wifi the app disables the screen security. Just make sure that you don't disable the notifications and only change your lock screen setting through the app ;)

Did you flash anything prior to the event. It might be that somehow you messed up your ROM. I'd suggest flashing a different one to see if it works. Tell me if it does and good luck

Try downloading the newest firmware (.ftf format) and flash it using Flashtool.

Google Flashtool and there you go.

boot.emmc.wim/boot.wim is the boot.img (in twrp)

so instead of fastboot flash boot boot.img

you can fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.wim

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solico:
I have a nexus 4 16 gb rev 11 running 4.2.2. it seems like I have a weak wifi reception both at my workplace and at home.

1. When I'm at work 5 meters away from the router. the values I get from wifi analyzer keep on changing constantly from

-54dbm to 66dbm and the bars go from 2/4 to 4/4... Speedtest had good results (26Mbps down/29Mbps up).

2. I walked around the office, on the same levels of reception other devices (S3,S2,S,HTC desire,Gnex) showed more wifi bars. confusing...

3. When I put the Nexus 4 right next to the router it gets -24dBm. (speedtest 26 down/31 up)

I have 3 more days to replace my device and I dunno how to make sure it's just a software issue or a hardware issue. I dont understand

how come the bars keep changing on the same dBm levels that also change rapidly in different locations (I can stand at the same spot and get -71 and then -52 and get from 1 bar to 3) .
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leader288:
It could be the way you hold it. The antennas for the N4 is in the back panel. The wifi antenna is located at the bottom rear of the phone. A slight change in holding it (moving a finger) can make a difference. Also, some router antennas are directional, which could explain the slower speed when placed next to the router.

Hope this helps >.<
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solico:
I tried just now to put it aside on a table and see if the values change and they still do even without me touching it,

I'm in my room right now and it changes from -90dBm and then -75dBm and then after a few seconds -88,-84,-82 and back to -75,

then again it goes back to -90dBm. In this location I get just one bar or no bars at all but the internet still works even with no bars. Why does this happen? =[

I am experiencing some strange intermittent behaviour on my XDA. After an indeterminate amount of time using the xda with an open GPRS connection, the backlight starts flashing rapidly on and off and the device stops responding to user input. A soft reset of the device seems to put things straight again. Does anyone know what could cause such a thing to happen, or should I be treating it as a hardware fault ?

Cheers,

Andy
[General Topics] bamse:
Happened to me last week as well (after 6 months of use without problems). Went away with a soft reset and hasn't happened since, so I'm not really bothered.
[General Topics] lgingell:
This happened to me when I first started testing GPRS suspend. It was like it for about a week. It doesn't happen anymore. No idea why. I've certainly done a few soft resets since then.

It isn't related to the ROM, since I had the issue with an AT&T ROM as well as the XDA dev 1.1.

I only experienced this since installing a new Radio firmware with GPRS suspend.

Anyway, seems to be fine now for some reason. Wierd.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ravijokhun:
Hello Guys...This is a stock rooted (CF SuperSU) with busybox rom for LT29i.

The Rom is pretty stock. Only modifications were to root and zipalign the rom. As there are not loads of stock roms in .zip for the TX i though i'd give it a go for those who want a stock rooted rom

Click Here to Download For Odexed ¦ Click here to Download for Deodexed

Installation Instuctions:

1) Downgrade to ealiest 1.307 Rom by flashing an FTF (Obivously backup anything first) through flashtool

2) Root using Bin4ry's method

3) Flash CWM for Locked Bootloader (am using a version 6.0..x.x)

4) Install Zip from SD Card my Rom you downloaded from CWM

5) Install Zip from SD Card a flashable version of CWM

6)Flash This after flashing rom otherwise your phone will keep rebooting if you try to edit system files (Thanks to Sharaz22 for this link and Leo for reporting the issue and solution)

7) Flash a 3.212 FTF through Flashtool again (exclude everthing except kernel). This will get you back to latest kernel

1.307 FTF, 3.212 FTF, bin4ry's root method and CWM installation can be found in Gregbradley's all in one thread in Q&A

For those already having root and CWM on an earlier version you need only start from step 4

Credits:

Thanks to Gregbradley for this precious help...this was my first time cooking :good:

Thanks to Dogsly for this 3.212 FTF from which this Rom was extracted :cool:

I get the flashable rom, so is that I go directly to step 4?

And then:

1)Flash it

2)CWM lost, install Sharaz22's cwm to get it back, in order to prepare for step 6

3)Step 6

4)Flash 212 stock

Is all correct? I'm ready to flash it tomorrow!
