I'm on the odexed rom by NUT at the moment the 10.3.A.0.423 version (android 4.2.2). (odexed means i got all the odex files right? (i'm noob)

edit: i found the deodexed files as flashable zip, is it possible to copy the file using ES file explorer? I don't really know how ADB works.
[Xperia Z Android Development] StephanSch:
Yes, they are odexed if you have an apk and an odex of the same file.

Deodexed files of what did you find as zip?

Zips are normally for flashing with recovery.

For the apk you can also use ES but have to look that you have the same permissions and owner as before on the original apk.

[Xperia Z Android Development] StephanSch:
I don't know how it works with odexed roms. If you use deodexed apk, I think (don't know) you should delete the .odex file
[Xperia Z Android Development] eawert:
Thanks mate! That's the trick. I removed the nfc.odex file and now it works.
[Xperia Z Android Development] StephanSch:
OK. I added this to the instructions in OP.

I'll just try to flash with TWRP and see what happens.

I've got nfc chips everywhere in my house :-p but it's very annoying to unlock the phone every time.

edit: I deleted the .odex file everything works now, thanks very much!!
[Xperia Z Android Development] atamig:
Sorry, this can be delete...
[Xperia Z Android Development] StephanSch:
Is this relevant to my mod or do you have a general problem with NFC?
[Xperia Z Android Development] atamig:
it is a general Problem. I have not installed your mod.
[Xperia Z Android Development] StephanSch:
Hmm...then you should write on a thread that fits to your problem or open one.
[Xperia Z Android Development] atamig:
Thank you. I have open a new thread...
[Xperia Z Android Development] armanys:
I am a little confused with adb... I didn't used it till now!!

I backed up Nfc.apk in /system/apps and now I don't what to do further.

Can u please explain in detail how to perform step 4?

And where I can't find NFC in Settings...??

I have Xperia Z with 4.2.2 (10.3.A.0.423).
[Xperia Z Android Development] StephanSch:
You can also use a root explorer to put the apk in /system/app/. Just have to look that the owner and permissions are the same as before.
[Xperia Z Android Development] armanys:
I tried that but I can't find NFC (how to activate / deactivate it)?
[Xperia Z Android Development] StephanSch:
Did you have the option before the mod? Which ROM do you use?
[Xperia Z Android Development] armanys:
10.3.A.0.423 Root - Zipaligned - Deodexed - Rom (it's a thread from xda).

I don't know if I had it before.
[Xperia Z Android Development] StephanSch:
I don't know where it is exactly on Xperia, but normally you have the option like other radio (wifi, Bluetooth) or behind a "more". Ask Google.

If it isn't where it should restore backup and look again.
[Xperia Z Android Development] armanys:
Problem solved (I may heve been deleted in Titn=anium Backup) - reinstalled ROM and NFC appeared.

Thanks for ur support.

Any good 4.2.2 ROM (rooted, deodexed)?
[Xperia Z Android Development] StephanSch:
And mod works, too?
[Xperia Z Android Development] armanys:
I haven't had the chance to try the mod.... I had to uninstall that 4.2.2 ROM, because every time I restart the phone, it freezes on bootanimation ....and restarts...and freezes and so on ..
[Xperia Z Android Development] armanys:
I am on 10.3.A.0.423 Root - Zipaligned - Deodexed - Rom.

The mod doesn't work with screen off (I have GoLocker and GoLauncher), only if I turn on the screen (with power button) - so, works only on lockscreen!! Any idea>
[Xperia Z Android Development] StephanSch:
Any custom kernel or power saving tool installed?

Anybody else with that problem?
[Xperia Z Android Development] armanys:
No custom kernels (only what came with ROM mentioned above).

Power saving tools?? I don't think so..... (any examples??) , only Stamina (I'm on Xperia Z).

Will this come to the .244 version ? the other for 4.2.2 doesn't work, phone goes into repair mode and starts up failure :(

i'm on stock rom, stock kernel.
[Xperia Z Android Development] StephanSch:
Updated for .244

I updated the apk for .244 and uploaded to Downloads section.

And brought this thread to DevDB. So you are welcome to use the sections on top of the thread. Especially to review and follow. If you need new version simply put the request into Feature Requests section
[Xperia Z Android Development] mrsatan:
Is this possible for xperia S?
[Xperia Z Android Development] StephanSch:
A short search with "NFC" over the Xperia S boards will give you some results with apks for that.
[Xperia Z Android Development] mcjordan92:
I can't make the screen off for 244 to work :(

it use to work on 423 before.. now it simply work as normal NFC, only when screen is on..

Could you please check it out?
[Xperia Z Android Development] StephanSch:
new version

Version 1.2 for .244 is in the download section, give it a try.

And please use the Bugtracker and Feature Request sections. It is a new feature with the DevDB and we need to test it in detail.
[Xperia Z Android Development] mcjordan92:
Wow nice for updating that fast!

unfortunately, it is still the same problem.. works as normal NFC..

Could it perhaps be related to the other 2 files named with NFC on the system folder? NFC-handover.apk and the other is with diff extension..?

Also, how do I Bugtracker to you? I'd love to help..
[Xperia Z Android Development] StephanSch:
The nfc-handover seems to be there for the handover to other apps or services, so no. I don't know where the diff is from, I don't have it. Please post it.

How is it on lockscreen?

Which ROM do you use?

Anybody else on .244?

The bugtracker is at top beside the download section.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
No you won't lose anything.

Flash the b10 kernel only (just untick everything else in flashtool)

Root.

Then flash the b54 kernel again only
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben Ling:
you just need to flash the .10 kernel,not the whole rom,then root,after that flash .54 kernel again.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
Here's the link for both the kernel files:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0a970hfuxfo9n34/083prRQWU5

To root .54 firmware:

1.Flash .10 kernel ftf.

2.Root using Binary's method.

3.Flash .54 kernel ftf.

Hope it helps.

flashing 6.1.1.B.1.54 stock Rom on Xperia Go

It took me three attempts to get the kernel flashed and rooted. Even if the script tells you that there was a write error because of denied permissions it is worth trying to reboot again and have a look, whether root access is granted.

My XGO is rooted although bin4rys script complained about denied permissions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] probablecauz69:
ok so i had posted lat night where for what ever reason after being rooted and having wicked rom running after doing a nandroid back up phone wouldn't go past boot screen. every time i try to go to recovery it shows samsung boot screen and see on top that it is going into recovery mode. after like 2 seconds it reboots and goes back to boot screen. i was able to get into download mode and flashed stock rom in odin. every things works fine as far as that. one strange thing is the phone sd card is pretty much full. i have done a factory reset every thing was back to normal. once again phone memory is full. i have loaded the root file on my ext sd card. load a recovery through odin. that works fine. still won't go into recovery. how can i fix this issue. i really just want the stock rom with recovery and root so i can run a few programs that require root. also how much extra space should i have on the phone memory after loading stock rom back up. any help would be greatly appreciated. btw this is not my first time having a rooted and custom rom phone. i had all that working on my htc amaze 4g.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rudyp9:
Just press and hold volume down + power and once the blue letters " booting in recovery mode" show up let go you will be in recovery mode;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] probablecauz69:
lol wow. don't know how that worked. every time before when i wanted to get into recovery i held it until it actually went into recovery. thanks:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rahimwahid:
My phone is verizon s4 sch-i545 when I try to boot up in recovery mode it shows booting in recovery but it just boots up normally .I wanted to do a factory reset but the factory reset just restarts my phone and when I try to get into recovery mode for a hard reset I cant boot into recovery mode. I don't know what to do
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] audit13:
For recovery, try holding down the volume up, home and power button. Once the phone starts to boot, release the power button only. Keep pressing the volume up and home button. When you see the dead android, release all buttons.

I would like to upgrade to:

Latest and most stable ROM:

which one should I choose? v.1.72 or v. 2.02 or v. 2.06

I also want to upgrade to WM2003SE and I already download 3 different files and which one to choose? I upload the screen shots of those 3 zip files.

I also already download 2 Extended ROM: Customized_WM2003SE_Asian_Edition_Version2 and Extended_ROM_172181_Custom. So, which one should I choose? If I choose Customized_WM2003SE_Asian_Edition_Version2, should I install version 1 first or is it alrite to just install those version2?

Thanks for your help guys.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] gipfelgoas:
Hey guys,

I am wondering, if it is possible to write to the wmappmanifest.xml file within the app.. I searched on the net,but i didnt find some anwer. The only thing i found was how to read this file: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Comm..._Manifest_(WMAppManifest.xml)_file_at_runtime

If it would be possible we could,try to implement the capability INTEROPSERVICES programmatically..
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Two problems with that.

First of all, the app's install directory is read-only to the app permissions. You can't create, delete, or modify any file there from within the app (without some sort of "jailbreak" at least).

Second, and possibly more importantly, the permissions sandbox (or "appcontainer") that the phone uses to restrict an app is created at app install. Modifying the manifest is unlikely to have any benefit whatsoever (it certainly didn't help on WP7).

A good idea, though. Always glad to see people checking for such things.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] gipfelgoas:
I searched on the msdn network and saw that artikle:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=csharp#code-snippet-2

maybe it would be possible... I tried to implement it to a sample app, but i failed at the system.io stream...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
The app data store and the app install location are completely different things. The data store is a per-app read/write location that is initially empty. The install location is a read-only location that contains the contents of the XAP file (including the manifest and executable code). They are located in different parts of the file system (I could tell you the paths if you want), they have different permissions, they are accessed using different APIs, and they are not interchangable.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ultrashot:
even in case of root access, I highly doubt WMAppManifest is ever used after app is installed.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
Yep, I did some experiments a long time ago: WMAppManifest and/or WPInteropManifest are used on deployment only.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] smx06:
And what does this capability give? (useful for)

I did run native api calls from w8 app, but the file system and process restrictions don't allow anything useful to do (like other than own or system32/ files browsing; registry is readable only; also no useful privileges present)

p.s. 2all: is it possible somehow to install original .xap files (taken from Market) via

\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Tools\XAP Deployment\XapDeploy.exe"

or VS (on dev unlocked device)?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES is a Windows Phone app "capability" flag that tells the OS to allow the app to access (specifically, create handles to) drivers by device name. This is useful because drivers run outside the security context of the OS, so they are not sandboxed, and thus if they offer IOCTLs (on Windows, DeviceIoControl codes) that can do useful things for us, we can use those IOCTLs to our own benefit.

This is the standard way that OEM apps do stuff which would normally not be possible, like controlling the cellular radios or accessing parts of the filesystem that are outside the app sandbox. Each OEM includes one or more drivers in their ROMs which support these operations.

On WP7, this was the way that early homebrew worked. Access to the filesystem (TouchXplorer, Advanced Explorer) and write access to the registry (Advanced Explorer, Registry Editor, Advanced Config, and others) were made possible by OEM-provided COM DLLs which in turn opened device handles and invoked IOCTLs to obtain the required access. Later, WP7 Root Tools worked by directly accessing the drivers and exploiting security vulnerabilities within them that Heathcliff74 had discovered to gain arbitrary code execution in the kernel. That will be harder on WP8 (assuming we even get that far) because of the many exploit mitigations in the NT6.2 kernel, but it's worth a shot. Even if we can't pull that off, though, there's a decent chance we could get something like the Windows RT "jailbreak" to work, and a good chance that we could get something like the old Advanced Explorer to work.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] smx06:
Thanks for explanations!

Basically i don't see any app using ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES in 820.ffu/nokia820 image(having in manifest) . Am i missing something?

As far as i understand If we don't have ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES we can't load or properly use OEM-provided COM DLLs? (not enough rights) Am i right?

NB: can anybody suggest such COM-DLL (name) to explore? (as example) from wp8? (as i understand there are no such dlls in WP8 x86 emulator from SDK?)

Thanks again!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] gipfelgoas:
If you want to see a OEM app which uses ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES look at this: https://rapidshare.com/files/4165178711/825962362f3144b7a1115d0bb6a3935b.xap Its a app from the Nokia RM860 with product code 059r225 in ncs. In this xap file are also used some other caps, with a "normal" developer cant access.

If we don't have this (or other) capabilities, our app runs in a sandbox and cant access to system features, such as file system ...

If you want to see a COM-DLL, download a ffu file, mount it with this and go then in the windows/system32 directory..
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] smx06:
Thanks for the xap! (if You have some researches on it, it could be also great; to start from already explored stuff)

About COM-DLL i mean not ordinary ones (which i can see in /system32/ of wp8 SDK emulator or /system32/ on my phone), but those DLLs (or +drivers?) which are used by ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES apps (to do somthing like reg writing; FS access, etc.)

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
On WP7, COM DLLs were needed to access the drivers (because WP7 apps couldn't use C++ directly and don't have APIs to wrap CreateFile (for getting the driver handle) or DeviceIoControl (to call IOCTLs). On WP8, COM DLLs (or something like them) may or may not be used; I think it's possible to do what needs to be done using the official C++ SDK but I haven't checked.

In any case, the COM DLLs were just wrappers around the driver IOCTLs. The drivers are the ones that do all the heavy lifting, because they're the things that have the required permissions. Also, I guarantee you that there are some high-permission drivers on the Lumias; you can't do an app like the storage checker/cleanup or whatever it is without them. That requires filesystem access well in excess of what an app is normally allowed to have.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] smx06:
Ok. The simplest way to check is to search such apps (with interop cap) in the registry (afair all apps are registered there with listed caps)

shall try on my 820. also the registry viewer could be useful to search somth else..

But i doubt they really are (as there were nothing similar inside the image).

p.s. and as i understand there are no chances of finding somth like this (DLL or sys) in wp8 x86 emulator (that could be much easier to review in IDA)

p.p.s. i think all people know that is possible to mount vmdk disk of wp emulator and reverse all system modules (x86).

I am a subscriber to Slacker radio, which gives me the ability to cache stations on my phone so I can play them when not on wifi and not incur data use. However, when I update a rom, or change a rom, something changes and slacker thinks I am registering a new phone. They only allow this once in 30 days and I lose my cache ability. Is there a ID number that gets changed with rom change that I can alter (keep the same) so a subscription service doesn't think its a new phone??

Thanks,

Glenn
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordgodgeneral:
I have titanium backup and the pro key, and when I flash a new rom I have a zip to flash titanium as well. First time running it notify you that the android id has changed and asks you if you want to restore your old one. I do this every time, and I've never had to re-authorize any of my apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] golfinglenn:
Thanks,

Once I get slacker to reset my account I will use that method. I have seen that screen before, but I don't see it everytime I restore from backup using Ti. I wonder if id changes each time rom update or change??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] citenx:
Yes, actually. Each time you wipe and reflash, your android ID changes. I have no idea how to view it, what it's actually called, or how to back it up and change it manually, but titanium backup pro will backup this ID and restore it upon reinstall after a wipe (I have the pro license, not sure if the basic license does this). For more info, see this giude.

I subscribe to Spotify (totally worth it) and experienced the same issue. Upon wipe, flash, and reboot, I'd have to re-download all my music. Once I restored my Android ID and restore my missing apps with data upon reflash (which I do often, because I get bored), everything is still there, just like I left it.

For the record, Titanium backup pro is the most expensive app I've purchased and worth every penny. If you don't own it, try the free version and see if it takes care of your issue. I'm fairly certain the Android ID is your problem.

Furthermore, if you flash a lot, use the Titanium backup schedule function to backup and delete apps so you're not doing massive, hour long operations before you want to flash the new hotness you just downloaded.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] golfinglenn:
I also have the pro license and might have to check out spotify. I have all my playlists on slacker though lol and that would be a lot of work. I will check out schedule on ti as I usually just do the hour backup prior to flashing or nandroid backups lol.

Thanks for all the info!!

Hi, in the last minutes i've flashed the 2.7 build of LiquidSmooth Rom from the Paranoid Hello Halo rom... I've done the prcedure like XDA said : Wipe Wipe Wipe (cache, dalvik, system) Flash Rom Flash Gapps. It booted fine but all my apps that i've had on my previous rom was still there... all of them. The most disturbing is my settings were also like I've left them ( disabled pie wifi etc) also my Google Accound was already setuped and good to go. Is it a new feature from flashing 4.2.2 rom to an other 4.2.2 rom ?:eek: I've never seen that before. I've also rebooted to make sure it wont boot loop on reboot, and it booted like a charm!

Any clues ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Weird, never seen that before. Tell us what recovery you have and exactly what you are wiping. Can't think of anything else at the moment I'm sure others will chime in.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Sounds to me like you're not wiping /data. This is where your apps and setting are stored and unless you factory reset using stock recovery, deliberately wipe/format /data, or flash a Rom that wipes it for you, all your apps and settings will remain.

Seems like normal behavior to me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Ya I re-read it and he just wipes caches and system, definitely need to factory reset lol.
