I know roms have been ported on other devices, but on an EVO 3D would it be possible for people to port a GSM Rom to CDMA?
[HTC EVO 3D] hey_joe:
I've seen a few devs ported roms from cdma to gsm and vice versa. If you have the inclination to learn the how to's, you should be able to do it yourself. Haven't tried searching google for tutorials/pointers there should be one somewhere on the net or you can ask a dev.

Hi, Cm10 Beta 1 Got released on MacSlaw website and I heard its only for i8190. Is it possible for one of the dev's to port it over to the other two devices? (i8190N & i8190L) I would be a tester if u require one for the i8190L

Android Version 4.0.3

I bought the htc one x second hand and I dont seem to be receiving OTA for it at all. after reading for the last few hours. I managed to unlock the boot loader using HTC One X (Tegra3) All-In-One Toolkit V2.3 [2-3-2013] [PERMROOT][Noob-Proof]. I am wondering can i flash the recovery using twrp 2.4.1.0.

Any help would be very much appreciated. Sorry for the Noob Question

thanks
[HTC One X] omar_bazaraa:
Try formatting your device so you may be able to receive OTAs.

That happened to me before updating to Jelly Bean and when I had formatted my One X I received the update :)

I suggest to flash it manually through fastboot :)
[HTC One X] lockers:
ok i will

thanks a million

Tried to flash the recovery TWRP 2.4.1.0 and phone just hangs. tried the newer version of twrp and it just hangs on startup screen

I can boot up normally.Any ideas would be appreciated. Maybe im missing something.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Wipe the cache

Fastboot erase cache

And try to enter again
[HTC One X] Neo XL:
You have a s-off device...be lucky.

I´ve deleted the unnecessary steps out of the quoted text.

I would prefer to update in three steps:

1st: Flash the RUU 1.26.401.2 http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/sec..._Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251208_signed.exe

2nd: Flash the RUU 2.17.401.2 http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/sec...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe

3rd: Flash the RUU 3.14.401.27 http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/sec...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe

and after these updates i think you can get the last OTA´s automatically.
[HTC One X] lockers:
Thanks Mr Hofs

Worked like a Charm
[HTC One X] lockers:
Thanks for the info Neo XL. Do i have to do this to get the OTA's or could I install a good Custom Rom. If so which one do you recommend? I am currently on stock Android 4.0.3. (ICS)
[HTC One X] Neo XL:
You have a never updated device. One year behind the release of the One X with ICS - now we have JellyBean. I recommend to perform the updates of the original source and then flash again a custom rom.
[HTC One X] Neo XL:
Maybe i´ve made a mistake, because i forgot, that you can install with S-Off every rom and the bootloader will be updated automatically. Also you can downgrade with a S-Off-device. So there´s no need for these steps. Sorry.
[HTC One X] lockers:
I had a feeling that was the case. I didn't wan't to do anything more, until i read up about it.

Since there isn't a category for this new budget android tablet yet, I'm posing these images here for now. This device was exceptionally easy to open, and could be done using a plastic tool. I started at the top, near the HDMI / USB ports, and just worked my way around the outer edge of the glass bezel until all of the tabs popped free.

is this entire tablet just 3 chips or something ;) Seems pretty sparse.

Thank you for posting.
[Hardware Hacking General] sammysp:
The chip that counts is that shiny nvidia tegra 3! Not bad for a $149 tablet. The strange part of this product launch is that none of the walmart employees seem to have been informed of it, it's not on display, and as of today it has been listed as unavailable in all stores, even though most stores still have some of these 'in the back' or most likely in the under-display cabinet. Also, there is no documentation or support (aside from the efforts of the xda-developers community :) ).

It is a bit scary having all of the ports on the main board, but given the space constraints with having the microsd and hdmi, in addition to micro usb, it makes sense. I personally won't buy a laptop with a power jack soldered directly onto the main board, because it's just nice to know that I can replace a power board if needed - the Nexus 7 is the same in this regard with having the USB port on a separate (easily replaceable) board. I'll be using this as a remote OTG host pc (assuming it can fully support OTG- still waiting for OTG cable), so breaking the USB port doesn't worry me much.

My local Walmart had the LT and the Pro in their display case, though both were in their boxes. They had lots of LT's on the shelf, but all the PRO's were 'in the back' (they had 15 total).

I am not in the states and had to have some bring it for me from there. I was a previous owner of asus 300t but the screen stop responding to touches and since i had rooted it and unlocked the bootloader its out of warranty.

it runs on the same chip set..

i'm very much intrested in the camera module update..

our phone is also developed by hisense..

can u please confirm that it is a Omnivision sensor ? if yes then i guess you can upgrade it 99.99% because the drivers are also compatible with upper models and they are very cheap..

Whats the metal plate housing on top of the battery of the Sero 7 pro? Its the one nearest to the ports. My unit gets warm on regular use... Even when its turned off already in this area, it may have a faulty chip there.
[Hardware Hacking General] AECRADIO:
Sero 7 'hot' area near battery.

From the appearance of the board layout, you may be feeling heat from either the GPS module, or the battery charge/discharge regulators.

I do not know the build of this device, but tracing the cables and the headers, it appears to be either of these.

since the grey cable is the WiFi coax, and ends in a patch antenna near the speakers, the back coaxial cable must be the GPS feed, which routes along the battery (black coaxial cable).

Since even a tiny GPS module draws power, and does so while active, it is not unusual for there to be some heat generated, since these tablets are pretty much sealed shut, there is almost no air circulating about, and this will allow a normally 'cool' device, to become somewhat warm to the touch, as all electronic components do when drawing current.

[Hardware Hacking General] keni0902:
The antennas are at the bottom. It should be the battery regulator.i disconnected the battery for 2 days and its been 2hrs since I connected it again and the heat issue and battery drain are not happening anymore... Any ideas what happened? Did I reset the chip and solved the issue?

So I see 2 different batteries so far aone marked 14.8wh and mine is marked 4000mah at 3.7v its 14.8wh so they seem to have been mixing and matching or they changed labels

Did anyone notice the zif connector at the top left by cameras? Mine had it its 4 pin I wonder if its serial in/out would make kernel debugging easier if I could get direct access to kmsg and bootloader messages

*edit I see it was noticed earlier can anyone figure out a ribbon cable size to adapt it to a serial interface?

*edit again found everything I need on sparkfun Im ordering some bits to adapt this to my serial break out board and I'll see if I can't get serial access

The Internal Storage...

So for some weird reason (I believe a recent update) caused my Sero 7 Pro tablet to have this Encryption unsuccessful error.

It's the first time I've had this happen to any of my android devices. Luckily I have a recovery on here that's accessible, but no matter how many times I try to put on a different firmware it doesn't work, same problem.

I did find out that the internal sd card is not working now. following the way to take off the back piece from this thread. (Thanks guys!) I''ve noticed that the internal sd card cant be found. I haven't fully taken it apart yet, just took off the back cover. would anyone by any chance know where the internal storage card is located? If I can find that, I'll just replace it with a new card that doesn't have encryption, and install a new rom with it.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Xeven.

I have the xe rom on my Sero 7 pro and I can get Nexus photo viewer to show files on my external hd but media importer wont connect.

just finished my cooling mod on mine:D

tried copper shim first dropped temps by about 16C average but shim was too thick so used an alluminum shim, not as good as copper, gave me about 13C drop average 1.4Ghz was stable with both but the tablet becomes incredibly hot on the spot right above the cpu(good for the cpu, not for my hands though)

so then I did a makeshift copy of the nexus 7's using copper tooling foil and the result was about 19C

clock-----stock----modded

1.2Ghz--65C------45C

1.3Ghz--68C------48C

1.4Ghz--NO------53C

remember when all cores are runnning the clocks drop by 100mhz

Can you provide more detail on opening the back?

I am nervous to remove the back cover on this Sero 7 Pro, it appears to be almost wrapped around the body of the phone (curved around the sides all the way to the glass on the front), and the volume and power buttons go through holes in the sides, further locking it on.

Does it really snap off easily without any damage to the glass or anything else? The only place i could pull it apart a little was where the volume buttons come through.

Location of the ROM chip on the motherboard

I bought a "refurbished" Sero 7 Pro.

Later I found it does not function properly. For example, when I try to use 'Google Play Store' it doesn't load giving "Unfortunately, ... has stopped" message. This alone is not a big issue as I can install apps with ADB.

After first trying the stock ROM and then, after rooting, the other ROMs (dopa, Omni, Carbon.. whatever I could get a hold of on this forum) there was always this message. Thus I concluded it has nothing to do with mounting, but, most likely, due to the hardware issue.

The fact that './storage/emulated/0' can not be accessed with any of ROMs that I tried convinces me even more. This prevents me from being able to use some apps that place their cache in that location or those (like camera or similar ones) that, by default, save their files on emulated SD card .

Do you think that this issue can be fixed by replacing the ROM chip?

If so, could you please point me out to its exact location on the motherboard?

As we can see all of them are covered with metal protectors. So far I didn't get to open any of them, but at least knowing "where to dig" may save time and endeavor.

Also, do I need to program that newly replaced ROM chip before soldering it to the motherboard or it will be automatically "filled in" when installing a new ROM from Recovery, so I don't need to worry much?

Thanks for your kind assistance.

Battery replacement?

Has anyone found a replacement at Batteries Plus? This refurb'd Sero with a bum battery is my first tablet, so before I start trying to remove the back cover, I want to see if I'll even be able to get a new battery for it. :confused:
[Hardware Hacking General] Pow_2k:
Based on the specs visible on the pictures of the battery (3.7V, 14.8Wh) searches didn't turn up anything at Batterie Plus' online store. But, from what I can tell the battery is obtainable and I assume not exclusive to the Sero 7 Pro. 4156132 appears to be the pack's part number, the later string that starts K123 I'm guessing is a serial number. One such listing: mcsimple.com/index.php/taobao/view/id/21146907545 I can't post links yet so you'll need to copy/paste. Now a concern I have with the one I linked is that there are only 2 leads coming from it. In sammysp's pictures there was a connector with 7 leads going to the battery. (I assume that they all went to the battery pack and there wasn't anything I was missing elsewhere) So the question is with the stock pack is there a board that simply needs to be transferred from battery to battery, or do we need to find a battery that has the same leads already included?
