Since the recent update to 4.1.2 CDMAWS will no longer accept the default Samsung passcode 01f2030f5f678ff9.

If anyone knows the new passcode or has a link to downgrading back to 4.1.1 please let me know....thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AlpineMan:
You don't need to downgrade the ROM. Just downgrade the radio to LJC.

Need to realize jester is flying blind being he doesn't have a bolt to test. I would get with him and let him know and maybe pull a log cat. And he can go from there. Its going to be a slow process.

Is it possible to do wifi hotspot tethering on a t-mobile Galaxy Exhibit? What is the easiest way of doing this without paying a crap load extra to t-mobile?? Trying to help an out of town family member out so we can do facetime over 4G on an iPad (I don't own an Exhibit, I have an S3).

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Re: Introducing the First HTC Developers edition phone!!!

I read about this earlier. Very cool that HTC is doing this!! Just wish it had the correct bands to be used on Sprint. Hopefully they aren't going to lock down all other phones super tight! That would really suck!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:

I see no reason to lock down the regular ones tighter than they already are.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lawnguy:
Re: Introducing the First HTC Developers edition phone!!!

Ill be SUPER annoyed if sprint doesn't have one. Is this purchased through carrier or from HTC?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Asadullah:
I look at it like this they are trying to get in good with the developers and it's a nice way to do it (very expensive though) the thing that I'm wondering is how unlocked is the bootloader gonna be? Is it gonna be the same old thing that we get when we go to the dev unlock site or is it gonna be s-off? Don't know where to ask that but would like to know. Cool thing is they may be able to use the bootloader from this to unlock the other htc one phones since they are supposed to be similar.

p.s who says gorgeous these days?

HTC also had Dev editions of the g1 and the hero.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lawnguy:
Re: Introducing the First HTC Developers edition phone!!!

Oh Ok, that's cool. I didn't know this. I started with the first EVO. And since then I've read endless "HTC doesn't care about the development community" posts. So, from my perspective this is a big jump towards what "we" like.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
I'm buying it if it exists. Period. My only gripe about HTC partly is how they try to stop mods. If they stopped that, I'd never think twice about which OEM to buy from.

From my Evo LTE, yup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cobraboy85:
introducing, locked boot loaders
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lawnguy:
Well hopefully they don't actually sell a locked bootloader... I'd be really disappointed if it was not s-off
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
Right. Why the hell is "Developer Edition" necessary?

The fact that it exists in post HTC-DEV unlocking times is concerning.

Hopefully its just paranoia but I don't like the designation.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lawnguy:
I'm gonna just call and see. Hopefully I get an answer
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lawnguy:
Ok, sheer disappointment:confused: she said these are a tmobile unlocked phone, HTCdev unlocked bootloader, and sold by the carrier. I'm pretty sure its just a way for them to sell to tmobile clients based on that phone call. I don't really know more that though. Still its disappointing. No s-off according to that rep.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polar2792:
Try and call again maybe different person, different answer
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Nope. Same answer. I didn't call, but same answer us the only answer. And for anyone thinking HTC (or anyone else) would release an S-off device that isn't nexus....seriously?!:confused: Seriously? Come on, now, wake up.

From my Evo LTE, yup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lawnguy:
Well, sometimes I live on pure hope. Then people tell me I'm wrong....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ClashOfTheNexi:
The device most likely won't be S-Off and will only come with an unlocked bootloader. Truth is I really don't care about this because it's going to be GSM only, however, what I do care about is what this means for HTC. If this is a sign that they are going to start locking bootloaders, well, I'm not going to buy another HTC phone. I can imagine that HTC Dev takes a lot of work on HTC's part, and judging from the poor business decisions they've made in the past, they probably don't see a reason to support the developer community. The opportunity cost of the time spent developing the bootloader unlocking tools probably outweighs the extra profit they could incur by focusing on battling Samsung's propaganda machine. Releasing separate devices with unlocked bootloaders saves them time by not having to manage the unlocking process, and they can't really sell devices with already unlocked bootloaders, as that leaves the average user open to attacks. However, I have faith in the developers here at XDA, that they can overcome annoyances like locked bootloaders. Just look what happened to the Verizon Galaxy S3.:highfive:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
The One has already been unlocked in the UK using HTCDEV. I assume the method works on all versions. ModaCo has done it and I assume working on S-off if he hasn't done it already.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polar2792:
I thought all HTC phones came with a locked bootloader anyway
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xarxjabala:
Hello,

I am trying to install custom rom and I cannot get anything to flash. I have had the phone rooted and romed before was trying to change roms so i wipped everything and cleared all caches and tried to flash and it came across an error. Tried to fix errors and ended up soft bricking it, fixed the soft brick but now I am back to step 1.

The error i am getting is:

Opening .zip file

Cannot open .zip

aborting

I was using CWM, thought that was the problem so I switched to twmp and still get the same thing. It will not install any zips. I have downloaded tons of different roms and none of them work, also i cannot install the bootloader unlocker or su now because it will not open the zip. I have tried it on external sd card and internal neither work. Any help appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xarxjabala:
I figured it out. My external sd card was somehow causing the problem. I removed all important files and formatted it from twrp and restarted and was able to flash again. Dunno how that caused the problem but that was my fix to this solution for anyone else that comes across this problem in the future. Really was a frustrating two days.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CZECHer:
Hey guys,

i need your help! i was running an older version of the CyanogenMod on my HTC Mytouch 4 Slide for a while - i would say about half an year. Since a few days i recognized some apps crushing but the ROM was still running fine.

Today my hardware keys except for the power key stopped working but the phone was still controllable with touch and the hardware keyboard. Suddenly even the touch stopped working and i think its bricked now. I'll try to describe it:

- i can power on my phone with the power button and the rom starts fine without any exceptions

- from now on i can't use any of my buttons - even the power button is not working anymore :(

- touch not working either

- i can still acces the hboot-menu with the power+volume-down-combo and the weird thing is that i can navigate through the menu with my volume-buttons

- when i now hit "recovery" with the power button it boots into the recovery menu but now all buttons immediatly stop working :(

i am used to android and flashed a lot with a few devices but i am somehow amazed helpless..

do you have any tips for me?

Boot into fastboot mode and wipe and format in here, grab the latest touch twrp recovery as well as a new ROM, let's say as close to stock as possible

fastboot erase system -w

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

(Of course name the twrp recovery recovery.img or change the command to fit)

Now boot into recovery and flash new ROM.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CZECHer:
Thank you for your fast help and especially for the fastboot-commands.

Will my MyTouch still stay S-OFF and will i need to update the HBOOT or my RADIO? Where can i actually find updates for my specific model?

ty in advice
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CZECHer:
i executed your commands but no improvement :(

touch is not working in twrp so i can't install a new rom. in cwm-recovery i can navigate wirh the volume-buttons but no further keys are working :(

Which part of the system could also be corrupted? Maybe the bootloader?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
You can try to reflash the same bootloader you have now just for fun, but I have a feeling it won't do much, worth a shot.

fastboot flash hboot hboot.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

I'm thinking it could be a hardware malfunction which is a lot less fun on this phone
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CZECHer:
Thank you once again :)

I reflashed the HBOOT but no improvement. In CWM-Recovery i mentioned that the camera-button ist still working so it was possible to navigate with the volume-keys and confirm with the camera-button. The power button ist working in recovery, too. So i flashed a new rom and it is booting :)

I am pretty shure that it is a software-related problem because when the ROM is booted i can't use a single hardware-key - even not those who are working at recovery.

Do you have and further tips for me? I don't know which layer is booted before the rom but can you sent me some more flatbootcommands?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
I think you get it from rev site

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary

Double check, not at a computer right now so I can't dig deep, just make sure it matches and I really recommend confirming md5sum if you are to reflash your hboot

Make sure you read up on it all!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CZECHer:
This is what i found: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1878329

Could it be a corrupted Kernel? Or what is the mentioned "System Image"?

Seems to be a problem with the STOCK SPLASH - isn't it? I hope this helps..
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
No that's normaly, when in bootloader mode you can have one of the files on sd and phone will search it out to flash a fix or upgrade, it is normal to search and will always run in no matter the bootloader, sometimes its even helpful to flash things this way but not always the best option
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CZECHer:
Ah ok, so i have to dig deeper..

Can you give me an overview about the commands i can run with fastboot? Probably i can find out which part of the system is corrupted..

Do you think going back to stock can help me?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
type fastboot into cmd and a bunch of commands pop up

type fastboot oem and you will see oem commandsHERE IS a guide i made helping do some of the same stuff your trying

but is for a different phone so dont use the links! just the commands are for the most part all the same, i dont go over everything (such as fastboot oem jump for specific boots) but there are lots of testing and troubleshooting features you can do with fastboot

id recommend learning some as the are the safest way to flash firmware and can be just as needed as to learn adb commands
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mattlowry:
Thats your phone looking for those files on your sd card. So its normal as long as you dont have those files
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CZECHer:
Thank you for your help but I'm done with this phone :/ Even the downgrade to stock didn't help..

I am not the only one who faced this weird behavior. In my opinion a phone shoudn't stop working after 2 years..

Flex cable might be one of the easier hardware fixes if you're one to normally disassemble small electronics.

Yeah thats pretty weird. I checked the flex cable, it was definetly not the reason for the problem..

Does anyone have, or know where I can download, the original/default/stock img files for the boot, recovery, and system partitions for my Kindle Fire 7in HD? I can get fastboot working and connected with my kindle, so I just need the img files so that I can reset everything through fastboot.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrmcpowned:
So I updated to 4.1.2 recently and decided I'd simply root my phone. Now today I have the AT&T updater telling me I have an update pending. I'm already on 4.1.2 and the only possible reason I could conceive as to why this is popping up is because during rooting something must have changed and that flagged the updater as me having an obsolete firmware. Anyone else getting this?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Android The Greek:
I agree, but if you want to upgrade, use cf auto root to reinstall stock recovery, use full unroot in super su, then run update
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bookem11:
I've tried this, but the update still fails. Could it be my modified system files from setting up Google wallet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Android The Greek:
Could be, I always keep a stock backup jsut incase. You can always dirty flash a stock rom and see if that works
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] robsquared:
If you are going to stick with stock, you may want to use autoruns to disable the check for updates. That way at least the notification will go away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mocky:
I did all of the above. Update was downloaded successfully, Phone reboot itself and started installing update. And than "updated was interrupted" message popped out. I've tried it several times with the same result.

Since Google decided to get rid of the ad-blocking apps on the Play Store, I figured it would be a good time to take a minute and post these links for a few of the more popular ones.

Of course I take no credit for anything. I only posted these links here for a quick reference when the inevitable "where did the ad-block apps go?" threads pop up. All thanks should be directed to the devs who worked hard on these apps.

You can see I do not have a donation link, and never will, because I do not want your money.

If you consistently use an app, you should be willing to donate to that dev, or purchase the premium versions of apps you use

Re: Ad-blocking apps

Many ad blockers were started on xda. There's nothing wrong with the op giving out info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
I am sorry that you feel this way. But the fact is that we all have a choice, always. Every man has the ability to choose but no ability to escape the necessity of choice. One of the greatest assets of Android is the ability to choose, let's not start limiting those choices on this great open platform.

You are correct that I am a senior member and I do have plenty of experience with XDA. That is why I know this is a valid topic, and the mods should not (historically speaking) have a problem with this thread. Like already pointed out, XDA played a large roll in most of these apps. However, if any mod asks that I remove this, I will. And if any dev wishes his app removed, it will be done asap.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mateusm:
Don't be sorry for how I feel, kid.

Using ad blockers may be good for whoever uses it, but remember you are installing an app to circumvent the value exchange of someone else's labor, going out of your way to make sure they don't get anything in return. That's stealing.

From the dictionary: steal, take (another person's property) without permission or legal right, especially secretly or by force, and without intending to return it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
There are spam ads on the net, potentially malicious ad links, and those bs ultra-malicious privacy invading airpush ads, etc..

Me personally I always buy an app that I use that has a donate or premium version. And as far as the "kid" comment, I was only trying to be polite and respect your opinion, I think it is you sir that is acting like a child.

Let this be the last of this conversation, from anybody, or I will have to contact a mod about it. And like ways anybody that has a problem with this thread please contact a mod about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GeekMcLeod:
Re: Ad-blocking apps

Wow, didn't know they removed them. Makes sense though.
