Just a brief of the question asked:

hboot

is the bootloader - sort of the bios for PC.

what it do - basically when device is switched ON, it checks the hardware, initializes the hardware and starts the Operating System i.e Android or Recovery when you select Recovery

For newer hTC device since the One series, the radio comes with the hboot.

For Jellybean update, the hboot rework the partitions.

How to check - reboot to bootloader you should see the hboot version written there. The latest hboot for One V is 1.18.0000

How to update - running a RUU or the OTA update released by hTC or manually fastboot flash the firmware.zip (with a proper method).

RUU and OTA

RUU - Rom Update Utility - a file released by hTC according to the CID.

OTA - Over The Air update released by hTC with patches to update the earlier software version according to CID

CID

Carrier ID also now is more known as Country ID. hTC released software version based on the country/region they sell the device to the distributors(not from where you buy the device). You may buy a CID for Asia in USA because the distributor sell them not hTC.

How to know your CID - download the CID Getter from PlayStore and runs it.
[HTC One V] thestory101:
thx for info,

mine is 1.17.0000

- I wonder how to update that to latest version.

- is that significant or any different ?

BTW, already unlock, with s-on and CM10.
[HTC One V] arhimidis64:
Mine is 1.17.0000 too,and I would want to know how I can update it as I'm not running official rom :D
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
You can update it only with the official ROM, the steps already explained above

1. CID Getter - to check your CID

2. Find the RUU to revert to official ROM or your stock Nand backup

3. If there is a newer RUU then your hboot.. running the RUU will update the hboot

4. If there is only RUU for your hboot - you need the OTA update after installing the official ROM

[General Questions and Answers] vodoomoth:
Hi all,

Can someone please tell me what configuration options I should use to have the Rotation lockscreen put my phone into Vibrate mode instead of Silent mode?

There are two buttons on the lockscreen: one for unlocking the screen, and the other for quickly flipping the ringing mode. With CM7.1, using that button used to put the phone into Vibrate mode. I've switched to CM7.2 a few days ago and it sets the phone into Silent. I can't seem to find the option to say that I want Vibrate.

Thank you.

Can anyone tell how to flash permenent cwm recovery i have bricked phone thrice because i cant take backup of my rom please help
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] satan89:
Since sony phones don't have recovery partition, you wont have 'permanent ' recovery..

But you can flash a split kernel, with recovery in it. Then you will have recovered as long as you don't flash a new kernel, or return to stock.

Sent from my ST27i
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Ghostfreak NB:
You surely can use the likes of X parts or such apps to get temporary recovery however for a permanent cwm -the only solution remains to flash a custom kernel(.img file extension)

Then you'd not have issues doing the flashing stuffs

Cheers :cowboy:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSKYY:
Hello,

during the last weeks I had so many problems with my S3 and now I want to send it in to Amazon so that they check it what the problem is, I'm still in my warranty time so I have all rights to do this.

So my question is I have rooted my phone so that I can use several programs better but I still have the stock rom. So is rooting is a violation of the warranty? Is it better to unroot the phone first? And if yes, how do I do this?

Anything else I have to check?

Thanks a lot for your help!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Basicly yes, it's better to delete everything before. However it depends on the method.

If you've used CF-AutoRoot then it should have such function, in SuperSU app called unrooting or cleaning. Then you just delete SuperSU (if it won't get deleted for whatever reason) and you're ready to go. If you've used CF-Root then you should flash original stock rom, kernel and recovery, with formatting of /system /data /preload and /cache. Or just using unrooting by SuperSU app and flashing original recovery.

However watch your flash counter, don't forget to set it to 0 before sending ;).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
Depending on where you are from (I see Germany) rooting is not a violation of warranty (defined in EU law) and Samsung would have to proof that you rooting the phone did the damage whereas I would not bet on this.

Hence I would unroot, install stock rom, reset counter etc. as it is quite an easy process.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSKYY:
Good question, I really don't know how I rooted. The thing is I already did a factory reset last week. It looks like that my Phone now isn't rooted anymore. SuperSU was installed when I factory reseted the phone but now I tried to install Triangle Away to reset my counter, it said that my phone isn't rooted, same message appeared with Titantium Backup.

So I have to root it now so that the programs work and then I can unroot everything and reset everything? Or is it fine as it is? I just checked my Cutom Rom counter which is at 3. I guess these are my root attempts? Because I always used stock rom.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
if your counter is 3, and to be very save, root, reset the counter, un-root following the guides here on XDA, doing the process now for 20min saves you time to argue with Amazon or whoever later on :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSKYY:
Which root should I do now to use Triangle? CF-Autoroot oder CF-Root?

Thanks a lot for your help!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
Does not really matter a alot, CF-Root will include a custom recovery (which will be overwirtten with stock rom flash if I am not wrong?), CF-Autoroot will not include it, hence I would go with autoroot
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSKYY:
One last question, do I have to factory reset when I Autoroot with Odin? If possible I would like to keep my data at the moment and then I'd like to use Titanium Backup to backup at least some app savings. After that Odin and other can delete whatever they want.

Thanks again.

What is your number?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superuser_:

Ok you flash something but WHAT?

All i know that you have 11W16 and you can't hard brick that(unless you are really.....:eek: )

Anyway let's help you out

First of all,how many % did your battery have before flashing?

If under 10% then try to connect the charger

if it done't help keep reading

What did you do with flashtool--->FLASHING or UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER?

If FLASHING: What did you flash,please write down name of file

If UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER:

Try to turn on you phone--->If it won't turn on---->try to connect it to PC in flashmode so FLASHTOOL can recognize it

If FLASHTOOL can't recognize it try with PCC.....if that doesn't work either see does your phone have any Signs of life

If you'r phone is completly dead(no sign of life) than it's probably a HARD BRICK

I hope i helped :good:

First of all THANKS A LOT for your effort, I mean: really THANKS!!!

So let me tell you a story :)

It was my forth x8 phone that I've tried to install CM9 on and previously it went very well but yesterday I've did it in a hurry and forget to change the flash file on the flash tool and when I click on the magic button with the flash sign I've realized that the x8 was flashed with x10 firmware the default firmware on the flashtool program (really stupid mistake :) ). After that the phone turn off and went on haven.

After I cold my head and start to search for new x8 (to replace the broken one) I've realized that the phone has 24 month warranty and the first thing that I did this morning was to return the phone to the shop that was bot from.

I hope that some of you out there had 5 min lol session from my experience in the story, and please, If somebody else thinks that he knows how to do it without reading the manual - this are the consequences!!!

The only way to bring this phone alive is with riff jtag box that I didn't have.

Hello Xda community,

I'm looking for a music player that can stream .flac and .mp3 using samba server.

I tried Neutron MP but this app freezes everytime and samba server option doesn't work :(

However Samba server works great with Dice Player but it doesn't support music extension like .mp3 ( i get " no media file or folder" when i browse my music folders...)

Samba also works with ES File Explorer but we only can open one file at a time, i want to open an album playlist.

After few hours of search , i despair :crying:

What's about winamp, poweramp ? does it support samba?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the tip but i can't install this app because it's a NAS running samba :S
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jimbobvfr400:
What NAS?

I only ask as I personally use Logitech Media Server on my NAS and Squeeze player on my tablet for streaming music.

Squeeze player turns the nexus into a squeezebox player but there's no interface for control, you'll also need a squeezebox control app, the free version from Logitech will do. You can also use a Web browser that we control it, either on the device or any other device on your network.

Probably overkill just for a tablet, I also use proper squeezebox units in my house for multiroom audio, but it works very well. You could also run Logitech Media Server on a pc but that would mean the pc would need to be on to use it.

Squeeze player isn't free but it does work very well.

Logitech Media Server also has a DNLA plug in so it can also be used by any suitable DNLA client, i use Skifta for DNLA

Root your tablet.

Then mount the samba share. Preferably inside the /sdcard folder, then many apps are able to access the share.

I use GoneMad Music Player, which is not only the best music app but also indexes the music folder(s) very quickly in it's own database (which persists when the music folder is disconnected).
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
+1 for Tonido. It works great. Plays anything I throw at it.

AFAIK, Tonido needs its own server... Don't think that's what the OP after

Hey man you could try Samba Network Music Player - it was specifically designed for this purpose. Still in development but it works.

It scans the shares dir structure for you to browse faster the shares and also caches tracks or whole albums if you want to take the music to listen out and about. FLAC is supported if Android is 3.1+.

Fast guides for "typical scenarios", all the links in guides points to the steps described in first post.

1) I want to backup my Etotalk ROM:

Note: Etotalk uses its own, modifyed CWM version. It does not allow to perform a ROM backup, so a backup starts but never ends until phones memory is full. To backup your ROM you have to:

1.1. prepare your computer for winflash acc point 2

1.2. Flash "S121_recovery" according point 3 you will have CWM 5.5.0.4

1.3. Reboot to CWM, and perform a flash backup (advanced-backup and restore-backup)

Note: "Etotalk" rom is based on asean S_121 firmware, for going back to Etotalk, follow steps according scenario 5.

2) I have Etotalk ROM and I want to switch to "European" ROM (S106-113)

2.1. prepare your computer for winflash acc point 2

2.2. perform a winfflash of S110 rom (link 9.2) acc point 6

2.3. flash "S110_recovery" according point 3, you will have CWM 5.5.0.4

2.4. Now you can flash any rom or mod of "European family" you want. Be noted that flashing can overwrite your CWM again, so if it happens, repeat step 3.

2.5. (optionaly) root your ROM according point 4

3) I have Etotalk ROM and I want to switch to other "Asian" ROM (S118-124)

3.1. prepare your computer for winflash acc point 2

3.2. perform a winfflash of S121 rom (link 9.1) acc point 6

3.3. flash "S121_recovery" according point 3, you will have CWM 5.5.0.4

3.4. Now you can flash any rom or mod of "Asian family" you want. Be noted that flashing can overwrite your CWM again, so if it happens, repeat step 3.

3.5. (optionaly) root your ROM according point 4

4) I have Asian version (118-124) and I want to switch to "European" ROM (S106-113)

4.1. prepare your computer for winflash acc point 2

4.2. perform a winfflash of S110 rom (link 9.2) acc point 6

4.3. flash "S110_recovery" according point 3, you will have CWM 5.5.0.4

4.4. Now you can flash any rom or mod of "European family" you want. Be noted that flashing can overwrite your CWM again, so if it happens, repeat step 3.

4.5. (optionaly) root your ROM according point 4

5) I have "European" ROM (S106-113) and I want to switch to Asian version (118-124)

5.1. prepare your computer for winflash acc point 2

5.2. perform a winfflash of S121 rom (link 9.1) acc point 6

5.3. flash "S121_recovery" according point 3, you will have CWM 5.5.0.4

5.4. Now you can flash any rom of "Asian version" you want. Be noted that flashing can overwrite your CWM again, so if it happens, repeat step 3.

5.5. (optionaly) root your ROM according point 4
