[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Xanoschild:
I don't know a whole lot about JTAG but mobile tech videos revived my phone with no hassle and returned it to me stock. You could email Josh on the site and let him know that someone already tried and couldn't get it. I doubt he'd charge you if he can't get it going. Seemed very experienced to me and worth a shot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] baddogie:
I sent my phone off to mobiletechvideos.com and the were unable to recover due to a bad Emmc chip. Although they are currently working on Emmc replacement on the skyrocket and should be available in the near future.

I'm guessing when I flashed the rom it corrupted my Emmc chip?

I'm also receivIng a refund because they could not fix.

hello all, my N7 shows upgrading all apps in every boot. i suspect is caused by CWM upgrade through ROM manager but i couldn't prove. i tried many way and erased cache. then i flashed ROM but failed. now i dont have OS.

Hi all,

I just written a eVC program to open the COM1 port and send commands to barcode printer. It works fine in iPaq, but for XDA, it can open the port, but seems no signal sent to the barcode printer.

In fact, at first, it can't open the port since I haven't unchecked the beam settings. Any other things need to do to make it work? thx!

I wrote this test program to do various things with io ports.

on my xda I can open com1: with it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Peter Poelman:
There's something funny about the XDA serial port. It seems to need signal on some of the incoming signal wires to come alive electrically, independent of whether the port is open or closed. Probably some kind of power-save feature, but it can be damn annoying sometimes.

Try looping back some outbound status lines into the incoming ones until it works.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Thanks for those replies :)

Just want to give more informations!

Actually, My configuration is as follows:

xda -> serial cable -> null modem -> printer cable (which originally used to connected to PC serial port) -> barcode printer

So, for ipaq and xda, this part "null modem -> printer cable -> barcode printer" are both the same, the difference are just the serial cable ( one for ipaq and one for xda). To test if my xda serial cable works or not, I have used it to connect xda to my PC. The signal received in my Hyperterminal looks OK. Thanks!

[Asus Transformer TF700] laod:
Screw it. I'm unlocking, should I use cromi or cm10.1?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Probably a good choice -- lots of threads on it already, however. Strictly speaking it all comes down to personal preference. Just to repeat myself: CROMI if you just start out, maybe try something else later. I stay on CROMI.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
You can also try one out for a bit, back it up using recovery, and flash a new rom . that way if you don't like one or the other you can restore it in like 5-10 minutes time depending on the amount of apps you had. I also second cromi first and try other ROMs after you work with it for a little.

[Asus Transformer TF700] laod:
I decided to go with cromi first. I've used cyanogenmod on both of the smartphones I've owned and I love it. I'll probably switch to that eventually
[Asus Transformer TF700] jhannah01:
That's how I ended up with my own build of CM10.1 on my TF700. I would highly recommend it having voided my warranty before even getting the device back home and subsequently trying everything else. But to each their own.. Good luck!

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santiagorook:
I've had the asus tf300 for about half a year now and I think its time to customize it. Ive looked at forum post on unlocking the bootloader and rooting but they them a little outdated. Can anyone at least point me to relevant forum posts addressing my questions for the

Asus tf300

Running android 4.2.1

Build JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.8-20130225

1. Does the asus bootloader tool work for my tablet? I am asking because it says : Only suitable for Andriod4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich & Jelly Bean OS version.

2. Does unlocking the bootloader also root my tablet

3. What are some popular stable custom roms?

4. Are there any stable releases of linux for the tf300? Preferably dual boot, but if not running linux in place of android is better

5. Where can I find information regarding recovery and security tools to protect my tablet while its root it and prevent it from getting bricked?

6. Please add any extra information you think a noob might need to read before and after unlocking/rooting
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakesh219:
1. Yes if you download the official asus apk you can unlock your bootloader.

2. No...unlock is unlock and root is root two separate things

3. LOTS depending on version

Use the search tool for all other questions but in short atm you cannot do anything except unlock and MAYBE root as the new firmware has a different encryption prevent recovery to access certain important locations.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
1. Yes. Asus just released v8 which works with the 4.2.1 version which you said you're running so I assume you recently updated.

2. No. Rooting is separate from unlocking. Unlocking allows you to flash files to the system and other partitions, like root files :)

3. Sorry I run stock unlocked and rooted, but see the Dev section for many opinions.

4. I've heard this and that but can't confirm sorry.

5. Find twrp in the Dev section. Since you're updated you must get v2.4.4.0 which is the latest.

6. I was a noob too. Just read carefully and don't screw with something if you don't have knowledge of what it's for :) :) good luck.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shadow2by4:
UPDATE 2:I have been officially forbidden to tear into this thing until after I take it to a cell phone repair shop. That will happen this Saturday. I also noticed another user on this forum managed to make a jigkick-type charge-only cord by splicing an old cord, the same way I made my battery-charging cord. Hopefully, I won't end up having to dive into the thing, but if I do, I'll make sure this forum gets a play-by-play.

UPDATE: Found a few pictures of a MoPho teardown that include where the + and - leads are... this could be dangerous, but since the Photon is uselss to me locked and nobody would buy it in its current state, I'm taking my redneck charger to it later today. I'll ipdate you fine folks when the magic happens, I know at least one other person must be in my exact same boat, seeing as this is a cheap, amazing phone with great hspa speeds and a reputation for generally troublesome charging hijinks. I can't link the thread, since it's on another forum, but google around for "Photon Tear Down for + & - leads" and it should turn up.

I bought a Photon from Craigslist to replace the aging Sidekick 4g this is being typed on, but didn't anticipate it would come with the OTA update, locking the bootloader. I just want to GSM unlock it, so I figure, no problem. I go to charge it after successfully using RSD and such... no go. Apparently, it will send and receive data with a PC(if it's not booted into Android), but will NOT take a charge. I dissected an old cord to make a redneck battery jumper for now. I can worry about that later or just buy 2 batteries and an external charger. My issue is that I can't get into bootstrap to flash KDDI without AC power and I'm running rooted stock US Cellular right now, with the unbrick package flashed.So close, yet so far... If I could just get into bootstrap, or flash the radio and/or ROM without it, I'd be golden. Is there a way to make KDDI into a signed update.zip or an electrical 'jigkick" I can get into bootstrap with, similar to a PSP pandora battery? I dropped 80 bucks and really love this phone, even stuck on gingerbread forever. And... well, both my wives are verbally beating me down about this and the guy that sold it to me vanished. Is there a way to gsm unlock it? I'd even pay for an unlock code, were there a place to enter it. ANY help at all is well-appreciated! Thanks, all!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hollabro:
OKAY, so. this is my first smartphone, and i basically screwed it all up... I unlock the bootloader (it's an HTC Evo 4G LTE on Sprint btw)

did that fine, but i didnt root it right. it still says S-ON. i can go into TWRP 2.4.3.0. I tried flashing a rom, stupidly i didnt know that it wasnt rooted, and i HAVE NOT made backups. it basically wiped the whole phone. i USED to be able to go into the bootloader, and TWRP, but i tried to fix it using RUU, and it just gets stuck at the silver HTC logo, with triangles in all the corners... no going into bootloader anymore, and not going into TWRP. so my guess im basically screwed, and need a new phone. do i need a new phone? PLEASE HELP ME

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
What happens when you plug it in to PC and and look at device manager.? Someone else posted almost this same thing last night? It doesn't say QHUSBDLMODE does it?

Also, S-on has nothing to do with root . HTC dev unlock leaves device S-on. All you needed to do was flash a rooted ROM. You don't root a device, you root a ROM.

From my Evo LTE, yup.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LimitsX:
Hi,

Friend of mine has Galaxy S III SGH T999. and I've been trying to flash the SGH T999V rom to it, but it fails due to the following error:

<ID:0/005> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/005> sbl2.mbn

<ID:0/005> NAND Write Start!!

<ID:0/005> FAIL! (Auth)

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

I did try three different USB ports and did this after rebooting the PC and the phone itself. On the phone it says Secure check fail: sbl2

The phone has a working windmobile sim, so it works. Just that he wants the SGH T999V rom on it. Is there something I am not doing it correctly? Please help.

The T mobile rom is 4.1.1 and the one I am trying to flash is SGH T999V 4.1.1 that I got it off from the link that Galaxy S III toolkit 7.0.0.0 provides.

I used odin 3.07, 3.04 and 1.85 and with the default stated settings, same problem.

[RAZR HD Android Development] Tquetski:
A few things about this rom, firstly this is a port from a Samsung device, thus it features control panel options not normally found in some CM roms, you MAY need to go to the app store if this has no on-screen navigation buttons.

I have added MIUI apps not normally found to round it off as a MIUI clone, I think this is something you folks will like a lot since your CM10 base is so functional to begin with. : D

To get themes, go to themes in settings like you normally would, It's been replaced with a fully working clone of the MIUI theme manager which can apply themes, and can browse themes online.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Tquetski:
you XT925 folks are going to have to inform me of the working status of this in order for progress to happen, if any is needed.
[RAZR HD Android Development] mapleleafz06:
So are the same things that are wrong with CM 10 affecting this ROM too? (i.e. Bluetooth music)?

Have any rogers users tried it yet? does LTE work?
[RAZR HD Android Development] mapleleafz06:
Doesnt work. I used cwm, but stuck in a bootloop
[RAZR HD Android Development] estuardo4:
The same for me. Boot loop every time. I even formatted /system. Erased /data and /cache. Nothing works.

It seems to work, as you can see the start up welcome screen, but before you have a chance to click on the "next" button, the system reboots.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Tquetski:
It's an issue with the base, I will upload a working one either tonite or tomorrow.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Tquetski:

[RAZR HD Android Development] Tquetski:
Can anyone confirm the status of the USB?
[RAZR HD Android Development] estuardo4:
I can confirm it. I cannot restore my backups because the system cant find an SD. I can write to the internal and external SDs using the built in file manager, but for some strange reason, I cannot write to them using ROM Toolbox, nor any other program. also, for the same reason, I cannot download the Gapps file listed on the update part of the settings.

Thank you for your hard work.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Tquetski:
Don't mess around with any OTA updates or it could mess up your phone; anyway I'm not sure exactly why this is happening, I am going to send a PM to another porter of this rom who is used to Moto Devices and see what they have to say!

[RAZR HD Android Development] estuardo4:
Hello Tquetski. Any progress on this ROM? I guess you are really busy now, but I got so frustrated because you ae so close on this one.

I hope you have the time to continue working on this and future ROMs. Your continue support on porting for this phone is really appreciated.
[RAZR HD Android Development] PantsDownJedi:
Appreciate it as well. Also same USB problem as previous post about it. Same crash with media but when plugging in the cable or trying to use the gapps I used. Installed twice. First time the crash wouldn't allow adb, second time was with gapps from 20121130 and still crash on cable but adb works. Play store crashes with same media related file but youtube works. Perhaps youtube was already part of the rom....

Am uninstalling for now but can come back to it to test (Not a lot of time of the day for it though, but as much as I can) if you need it.

Also, don't know if it matters but I noticed that symlinks in the ROM don't work as expected, for example sdcard and /mnt/sdcard just return sdcard and /mnt/sdcard when typing ls. putting a trailing slash works, for example /sdcard/

I've noticed some apps rely on /mnt when they look for things.
[RAZR HD Android Development] PantsDownJedi:
update from above. Installed gapps from cm site and that went better and the store works. Titanium backups were on external drive and restored fine, as you'de expect. Titanium backup states, upon launch, Media Storage: not mounted but also then displays the correct amount of available storage for it.

So for example it says:

-----------------------------------

Root Acces: ok

Hypershell: yes

...

Media Storage: Not mounted

Backup Directory: /storage/sdcard1/Titanium

Then at the bottom

System Rom: 1.53 gb (1.09 GB Free)

Internal: *looks like the correct amount*

Media: *looks like the correct amount*

Ext. Sd Card: *looks like the correct amount*

-------------------------------------

Internal and Media in the above part are slightly differant than what df at the terminal says but not by much so it seems that Titanium certainly sees the space there in the second part but doesn't see it as the space its supposed to use.

I hope you can fix it. Thanks for getting this far.

One last edit; stock rom behaves the same way with symlinks.

File permissions of mounted internal sd card look the same, from memory, so its not something so simple overlooked at that level.

Happy to have been of no help :P

[RAZR HD Android Development] ibike2much:
Do you have a tester sir? I'm willing to volunteer.
[RAZR HD Android Development] :
A few but this rom is really creating drama in my life with the USB mounting issue; I released the auto-porter hoping people would bring CM10 roms from diff. devices over so I could get a feel for which was the most compatible out of the box; it is in everyone's best interest.

The Atrix HD is apparently an exact replica of the HD so any roms released for that can apparently come here w/out any effort.

If there are folks here who really have the balls for it I can do a port from every available device for AvatarRom and even MIUI and you could tell me which yields the best results; that's really the best way to get a good idea of what device has the most usable base in my opinion.

Some flashes won't boot because they are just too different, but others are so similar in their code that regardless of HW, with the right patching it will all work seamlessly, CM builds have had camera and other various fixes because of code findings like this and you can also determine phones that have the highest probable chance of a working port.

So how about it, any takes willing to do mass tests?
[RAZR HD Android Development] ibike2much:
Absolutely no experience doing this but I'll give it a shot as time permits. Expect questions. :)

Should have my xt926 soon and already have the xt925 so what's to loose.
