Hi everybody,

I've a Qtek2020 smart phone. I would like to access my lan' pc from my PDA when it is connected to serial/usb cradle.

I can ping the pc to wich the pda is attached and I can open in internet explorer a page served from the pc IIS server. But my problem is that the PDA identifies itsel with the same IP address of the host pc (the pc connected to my pda)

Is there a way to let the PDA be connected via ActiveSync/serial/usb cable to the host and receive an unique IP address??? This way I will be able to send TCP/IP data to the PDA .I need this because I've a software that act as a server that need to be installed to the pda and must reply to requests that come from lan' pc.

The host pc has winXP pro. I've tried to create an "incoming connection" on this machine that accept connection on the COM2 port, using the wizard that is usually used to direct connect 2 pc via direct serial cable.

This way i think I need a special software to be installed on pda....

Any help???

Thanks a lot for any suggestion

Hello,

I am looking to buy a new android smartphone, no contract, with T-Mobile. It's for my mother; her main criterion is having a big screen. I looked around and found this:

4.7 Inch Touch Screen Dual Core Android 4.1 Phone "Vanern"

www(DOT)chinavasion(DOT)com/china/wholesale/Android_Phones/Large_Screen_Android_Phones/4.7_Inch_Touch_Screen_Dual_Core_Android_4.1_Phone_Vanern_-_3G_512MB_RAM_4GB_ROM/

(Sorry, I can't post links yet.)

I could not find much info about this phone at all except at the website where it's sold. Does this phone go by another name in the US, or is it really some foreign phone with not much info available? Would it still be possible to root and flash a custom ROM for this phone?

Also, if you have recommendations for other budget, big-screen phones, please let me know. Thank you.

I can turn on the nfc on my device and touch thr bavk of my phone to the back of another smartphone and even if thr other phone doesn't have data it can run off my data?Is that correct? Thanks
[Networking] her.milkshake:
No. NFC is for sending files not tethering.

Thats what I thought.

Hey, I flashed my phone to a nightly build of CM10.1 and I forgot to make a backup of the stock rom; I was wondering if somebody could dump a zip or a backup of the original rom for the Photon Q. Thanks!

ICS stock rom seems to be broken (download stops at 4%) could you reupp?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rbeavers:
Are these CDMA? Roms.

Screwed by Google. Canceled ICS upgrade on my Moto Photon 4G.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ---UFO---:
They are stock roms. So both CDMA and GSM.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] vdub804:
how do you flash this
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
.win files, so in TWRP.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] vdub804:
I'm in twrp but don't see an option to flash it in there
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Well, you have to extract the .rar file... and since they are backups you'll have to "fool" TWRP into thinking your phone took that backup...

So look on your SD card - internal or external, wherever you backup stuff in TWRP to - and you should see a folder structure starting with TWRP. Match this folder structure, and make a "new" backup folder for these files.

Good luck.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] vdub804:
Thanks for that!!! Q is giving me a headache lol
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] j_rivers:
Backuped my stock rom never used it though.:rolleyes:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] 6foot5nbad:
This method works confirmed. First make sure to make a backup of your current system, then extract .RAR file and rename the folder to "2013-09-07--22-00-04 9.82Q-122_xt897_ffw-5" or something similar from your PC. Then connect the phone to PC and make sure it's connected as a "Media Device" then select "Computer" from any folder on PC and double click XT897/Phone/TWRP/"T06XXXXXXX"= (Device ID) then copy the "2013-09-07--22-00-04 9.82Q-122_xt897_ffw-5" to the "T06XXXXXXX Folder". I meant to multi-quote all of you who helped on this post so I can thank you guys/gals*. Thanks guys, I really appreciate this forum and the members who make things possible. "CONFIRMED WORKING METHOD TO DOWNGRADE FROM 4.1.2 TO 4.0.4" Thanks again guys!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] The Solutor:
There's no need to rename anything.

Just unpack the rar and copy the extracted folder on the correct place
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] toastedjelly:
Dude! Thanks for this. My fiancee was about to lose it on me because the AOKP 4.3 rom I put on her phone for the hell of it was acting up like crazy. I have to keep telling myself "some people are more than OK with stock android" lol
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Timjim81:
I copied both the extracted .win files and unextracted PQ_JB-421.rar file from the external SD card into the TWRP folder but whether I go into Install or Restore, none of these are visible to me. Am I missing something?

I'm just trying to get back to factory condition from CM 10.2 that flashed with CWM so that I can do a carrier update and activate my number on my Photon Q.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] The Solutor:
Do first a small backup (say just the boot or recovery to understand the right path then place your backup there accordingly)

To be clear you should have something like that on the root of your external or internal SD

/TWRP/Your device serial/PQ_JB-42/*.win

Dont forget to select the place to look from in TWRP (internal or external SD)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Timjim81:
The Solutor, you are AWESOME!!!!

My root folder was completely void of any folders, which was throwing me off. The small backup wouldn't even create the proper TWRP Backup folder on the internal SD. I had to do the small backup to the external SD, replace the small test backup folder with my downloaded & extracted PQ_JB-421 folder, and then copy the whole /TWRP/... file path. But once I did it totally worked. Thank you so much!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] The Solutor:
you are welcome ;)

System Fails

When I try to restore the backup(either one), I get a failure to write /system.

"unable to wipe '/system' using function call"

openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-asanti_c.img is TWRP version

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Use 2.6.3.1. There's a patch for TWRP which just landed a few days ago that seems to resolve this issue...

But until it's officially built & released, 2.6.3.1 is your best bet.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] HolmesPC:
Thank you. I am farther along now. I went back to 2.2.2.1 and that worked, but I'm not sure it's putting the OS back. During the restore, the system takes about 5 seconds and boot completed immediately. When I go to reboot, it says no OS is installed. I may try a newer one approaching 2.6.3.1 and see if that changes anything, but any more info would be helpful.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
If you want to use TWRP, until a new version (newer than 2.7.1.0) is released, use 2.6.3.1.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] HolmesPC:
For some reason, 2.6.3.1 would not work for me. However, 2.6.0.0 did and I'm back to STOCK. Thank you so much for your patience and assistance. You're awesome!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Huh, odd. My stock backups still work, used one the other day when travelling.

Well, glad you're where you need to be. Enjoy.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Can you force it into recovery using the vol up+power when it's off?

Otherwise use RSD Lite to flash everything (including recovery) back to stock.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] adamroman:
Any Photon Q stock rom links these days??

I'm a bit late to the game here, but I love CM13.0 on the Photon Q / XT897. But I can't activate with Sprint because the CM or GApps dialers won't program the MSL and MSID numbers with the ##017434# code. I need the stock rom to program those before restoring CM13.0, right?

Does anyone have a stock rom image I can flash with TWRP 2.8.6.0?

Any other ideas out there besides swapping the motherboard? Is there any other way to program new MSL and MSID numbers with a version CyanogenMod? Would some other available rom work that I don't know about?

Thanks!!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Always, always, always get data/voice/sms working before flashing anything non-stock...

Since you're past that stage, my best recommendation is to flash stock with RSD Lite. There is a thread about it, please use the search feature.

You may also find some TWRP backups of stock, again please use the search feature.

Good luck.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] adamroman:
Went back to stock and got phone working, but...

Now when I restore my CM13.0 backup, or do a fresh CM13 or CM12.1 install, I always get a No SIM Card error, and under Phone Info, the network name is 39000, not Sprint. And there's no MSID or MIN numbers listed. It looks like it's not talking to the CDMA chip right.

The CM13.0 build is for this XT897 phone, so I assumed it would play nice. What am I missing here??

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] adamroman:
nevermind

Installed a GSM ROM on a CDMA phone. Oops..
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
Hmm, what do you mean? There's just one CM 13.0 for xt897 and it's supposed to work on both CDMA and GSM networks.

Indeed, as I'm in a GSM land with no chance to test the CDMA functionality, the xt897 CM development in regard to CDMA depends on the logs provided by users. If there are CDMA specific issues, I need to see the output of 'logcat -b radio' to be able to diagnose the issue and eventually come up with a fix.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] adamroman1:
CM13 supports CDMA and GSM? Hmm...

Kabaldan, I was under the impression that XT897 CDMA development ended with CM11 - I didn't know the CDMA and GSM models were then merged. This is great news! I'll do whatever I can to support further development of the XT897 on CDMA.

But 5 different versions of CM11, 12, and 13 don't work with my CDMA XT897 on Sprint, yet the stock 4.1.2 rom works fine. If I'm getting "No SIM Card" errors, could this mean the CDMA radio chip isn't getting identified properly? Not sure at all, just a thought.

I've saved the output of "logcat -b radio" in a .txt file (including boot, observing phone and SIM info, trying to dial, and shutdown), but it's 446KB and I'm not sure how to get the file to you, as I'm new to this site.

Please advise - again, I'll do whatever I can to continue CM development on the CDMA XT897.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Host it on dropbox (or something similar) if you can't put it on hastebin.com / pastebin.com.

[MENTION=420530]arrrghhh[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2218140]kabaldan[/MENTION], I'm wondering if there's any way I can further assist in troubleshooting CM13 for the CDMA XT897c. And arrrghhh, thanks for directly posting my logcat radio dump.

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I have never been good at interpreting radio logs, but I do still have my old Photon Q, my roomie just uses it. I'll try to get it on CM13 and see what is required to get the phone to communicate with Sprint's network. I may even try to get it on RingPlus or FreedomPop, something 'free'.

As a side note, you may want to look at this post, seems they were able to get CDMA working with some tweaks. This is where I was going to start.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] adamroman:
[MENTION=420530]arrrghhh[/MENTION], I appreciate the continued effort. I did check out that thread you mentioned, but I saw only one mention of CDMA on Ting and don't understand exactly what the guy was modifying. I don't know radio log files either, but I do see lines stating things like "GSMPhone" and "CurrentSIMCount = 1," and "CDMARadio: Inactive" , so I'm very confused and wouldn't know where to begin. To me, since it's saying there's a SIM card and the CDMA radio is inactive, it looks like maybe it thinks it's a GSM phone (and thus trying to talk to the wrong radio chip?), but it does identify the network as Sprint. So with my limited knowledge, I'm at a loss, but I'll do whatever I'm actually capable of, like testing or submitting more logs.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
[MENTION=7022495]adamroman[/MENTION] , please try the next nightly cm-13.0-20160728-NIGHTLY-xt897.zip that should be built in a few hours.

I've merged http://review.cyanogenmod.org/154263 that should fix the world_phone config in overlay not being picked up (so it doesn't switch to cdma phone when it should).

In your case, I also recommend to switch the preferred network type to CDMA+LTE/EvDO in cellular network settings.

Please let me know if the cdma issue is fixed in the new nightly.

If not, please post a new radio log from it, thanks.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] adamroman1:
nope

[MENTION=2218140]kabaldan[/MENTION], sorry, it's still doing very strange things, none of them good. At first, I was able to select the CDMA + LTE/EvDO mode you suggested. I tried to make a call. The system immediately rebooted. I fiddled with more settings like SIM and NV. Calling rebooted. Then menus were grayed out. Then prefered network options changed to generic choices like "3G" or "LTE", but no combinations. Then the Sprint network name went back to "39000" under Phone Info/Status. And I didn't have time to do a fresh install and get another logcat dump tonight.

I managed to save the later logcat file at www[(dot])dropbox([dot)]com/s/w3ed1o3wq5z1z3i/rlog1607290157-01.txt?dl=0

but I don't know if it will help, since it was captured when the menu choices had changed after crashes and fiddling.

Do you need a logcat file that captures a crash? I didn't try, since I didn't know if the file would save properly in that case.

Please let me know what I can do next. Thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] TechInMD:
Just want to thank you for this post. I was able to revive my father's bricked XT897c using this method. It was a bit tricky to get TWRP to recognize the backup on the SD. I cheated and started a new backup to create the directory structure and replaced the files inside with the files in this thread. TWRP recognized the backup and restored without issue. Thank you again to all involved.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] predstitans3797:
I recently tried installing the LiquidSmooth. First, I installed the older version, and I tried to upgrade the ROM. I'm not sure what happened, but when I installed from ZIP on CWM, it looked fine and I tried rebooting and it turned off and never turned back on. It shows no response whatsoever, black screen, and the only slight response that it would show is the red charging light when I plug it in without a battery in. My computer will recognize that something is plugged in by USB but nothing shows up in Windows Explorer. I don't have a warranty, so any advice would be useful.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
is it still entering download mode?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] predstitans3797:
Completely unresponsive, black screen all the way, no start-up screen, nothing.

I'm able to get a warranty replacement, but it would still be great to know how to fix it for future reference.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStrokerace:
Its a very simple solution to your problem. Stop using CWM to flash ROMs.

Heres what you to fix your phone and follow it closely other wise you will have a paper weight. Pull out your battery for 5 mins. Pull out your sim card. After 5 mins, reinstall your battery, don't worry about the sim. See if it turns on. If it does, then you can flash using the download method and this method only. Flash a rooted stock rom to your phone. Get triangle and rest the counter. Install a stock recovery and have fun. No need for those other ROMS, they are buggy and have caused issues with so many phones.

If that doesn't work, get the Samsung GS3 toolkit and try with that. It will put your phone in download mode automatically and may help you out.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Etirel:
To be fair, the problems after flashing a rom are rarely caused by the rom itself..

It's usually just a noob who doesnt know the proper "way" to flash stuff.. Nothing wrong with flashing with CWM.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStrokerace:
I would say about 75% of the issues I have read, people have used CWM to flash a ROM or used a modified ROM of some sort. I had one that said it was simular to stock, it lasted on my phone 2 days. It drove me nuts, phone sluggish and battery drain. Flashed a rooted stock ROM and everything is great. Can do OTA updates with it. Have SU and can run linux on it. Don't have any custom recovery on it as its not needed. ANd I can still get warranty on the phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
once you are rooted, there's no warranty! btw how did you flash a custom rom with no CWM recovery? odin flashable?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStrokerace:
That is why you use triangle to reset the counter and an a rooted stock rom. Odin is the only way to flash a rom, much safer and alot easier. takes 1 min todo. Or you can get the samsung toolkit and use it. CWM is or shouldn't be used for updating a ROM, Its called recovery for a reason. And you don't have to worry about your SD card crapping out.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
That's nonsense
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
100% agree CWM is not the major cause of SDS and post that says it is is complete and utter noob nonsense .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
Sorry but this is straight bullsh*t!

This is your personal opninion. Guess what I use a Custom ROM and it works just fine. It`s faster than a Stock Sammy ROM. Everyone who flashes a ROM should always read what works and what doesn`t work. ROMs that are based on AOSP like the CyanogenMod are easily Daily Driver material. So I don`t know what you are talking about here.

Funny how you seem to have problems with Custom ROMs while hundreds of thousands of people use them and are happy with them.

This is another case of straight false information and also your personal opinion that you state as fact. My opinion is that there are many things that could go wrong when flashing Stuff with Odin because 1. Your computer could screw up during the flashing process. 2. You could by accident disconnect the USB cable from your phone during the flashing process and and and. That`s why I only use Odin when I absolutely have to. I flashed ROMs with CWM Recovery many times and it worked without a problem (less stuff that could go wrong). I have rarely heard of cases where people screwed up their phones while flashing with CWM BUT I have heard a lot of cases where people screwed up their phones with Odin.
[Ouya Android Development] FrostyWolf:
Followed all your instructions, worked fantastically (aside from some strange windows 8 driver issues of course). Great job guys!
[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
Thanks. All fixed.
[Ouya Android Development] tcollum:
Excellent work to everyone involved.
[Ouya Android Development] lartomar2002:
So, you are saying that no bluetooth KB work or just the one you tried? Did it have it's owen receiver or did you try to pair with Ouya's bluetooth? I am very interested in this because I have a Asus bluetooth KB/Mouse with their own receiver that I was hoping to use with the Ouya.
[Ouya Android Development] tcollum:
I believe what he meant was simply that it won't work in recovery.
[Ouya Android Development] FrostyWolf:
That is correct. BT keyboards work fine on the OUYA normally.
[Ouya Android Development] professorpoptart:
Thoughts, when I fastboot the recovery.img I get no video to navigate to the correct option to install the zip. I know the recovery.img I fastbooted booted because it shows listed as "recovery" under adb devices.

I had this issue with the stock recovery and a mix of hooking it up to another monitor and pushing a Generic.kl with an edited home button seemed to fix it. I have reboot and went back into stock recovery and video works fine there, just not when I fastboot the CWM one.

I could use the adb shell in recovery to "--install_package=xxxxxx.zip" but it wont be too much help if I cant navigate the CWM menu...
[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
Hmmm. That's weird. It worked fine on my TV without pressing a key before hand. Maybe it's the keyboard or TV?
[Ouya Android Development] professorpoptart:
Tried 2 tv's stock recovery works on both.

edit: Tried it on a third TV works!? whatever... At least we know anyone has issue in the future just keep trying more displays until one works...

edit: don't know if it matters but just fyi, but I tried 2 1080P displays and got nothing, tried it on an old 1080i and it worked...

edit: Hooked it back up to the main TV and recovery video still works... whatever...
