Android For Me

I would have to go with Android being the best overall mobile OS at the moment. I had high hopes for Windows but they let me down with WP8.

At the moment it's android, but upon the release of the Ubuntu os, I believe that will surpass android in time
[General Topics] domboy:
I have only a limited experience with Andriod (wife's Nexus 7) but I work on Linux servers at work, and I too am very interested in the upcoming Ubuntu release, and especially when both the touch ui and desktop ui are combined into one release. I've heard you'll be able to switch between GUIs fairly quickly. I can't say for sure on phones, but on a tablet that would be awesome... use the touch ui in tablet mode, dock it (or pull out a keyboard cover sort of how the Surface works) and switch to desktop ui. I don't see why a phone couldn't be the same way since you'd have different UIs for different usage modes.

I have no idea if it'll surpass Android or not.

[HTC One X] m4ck99:
Hi,

I'm finding with some ROMs (SlimBean, ProBAM, CM Domination) after an install on my HOX that the hardware navigation keys don't work anymore. I have to enable the soft keys in order to be able to use the phone - obviously not desirable as it wastes screen space.

I've done a crapload of googling, searching the forums, etc and can only find info on disabling the buttons. Is there some obscure setting I am missing somewhere?

The process I use is the same as is recommended on most of the other posts:

- fastboot erase cache

- fastboot flash boot boot.img (of the rom I am installing)

- in CWM, delete userdata, format cache/dalvik

- install rom

- reboot

When the phone boots up - straight away the capacitive buttons no longer work.

Reflash with a different ROM (CM10, Blade) and they are fine.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
[HTC One X] sinkster:
I've had that happen on probam/slimbean if I don't flash Gapps.
[HTC One X] m4ck99:
Aha - thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a go. From memory I probably hadn't installed Gapps at that stage since I was just checking the ROM out.. :)

thanks man
[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
Gapps would have no bearing on such a problem, coincidence. And to prove a point, gapps are included in the ProBAM rom and the fault still occurred. I would suggest you change slightly the method of wiping between roms.

From CWM recovery, format data,system and cache. Then mount usb storage and format the sdcard to fat32 from your pc or laptop, but change the allocation unit size from 16 to 32 in the dropdown. Then while usb is mounted copy over the rom, and gapps if required. Just to be sure wipe dalvik cache in recovery then reboot the bootloader and flash boot image in fastboot and fastboot erase cache.

Very important to erase cache in fastboot.

Once that is done, back to recovery and flash rom and gapps if required and your done. This is the method I use every day and never have a problem.

Just re-read OP and I noticed that you fastboot erase cache before flashing boot image, you must also erase cache after flashing boot.

notgotaclue, thanks for the detailed response - I will most definitely give this a go when I get some time over the next few days. Cheers mate
[HTC One X] m4ck99:
[MENTION=1161413]nOt[/MENTION]gotaclue: I went through your process and it did work for me with CM10 Domination - but not ProBam or Slimbean, they still had the same problem with hardware keys not working.

I've ended up flashing another kernel (TripNDroid v15 AOSP) and it has fixed the issue (for SB at least, yet to try it on ProBam).

Thx again for your help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] damnyouwaffles:
Hi guys. I need the 4.1.1 stock that I can flash on my phone so I can see if my UI lag is just a problem with 4.1.2. And also I need to know how I can do this. I have a nandroid but I don't know if my custom recovery or bootloader works with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Per your nandroid question, you aren't making sense. You can't do a nandroid if you don't have a custom recovery. The status of your bootloader is moot, it works fine either way since its stock, rooted firmware. Your bootloader status matters when you want to flash custom kernels or roms.

Were you looking for the bloated stock tar for Odin which removes root? Both VRBLK3 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 tars can be found in the guide by Open1your1eyes0 thread which is in the dev section. Search and you'll see it.

If you want the VRBLK3 4.1.1 rooted flashable zip for CWM/TWRP then do a search for this in the dev section cuz its fairly old. Flash it in recovery like you would any rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] damnyouwaffles:
Yeah I didn't really word that to well. I needed the 4.1.1 update because I wanted to update to 4.1.2 through Keis because it is supposed to fix lag problems with S3's that came with 4.1.2 stock. I was worried that if I were to do this, it might not be compatible with my recovery. Sorry for the confusion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Ahh ok, well I answered you in the General sticky as well. Odin flash VRBLK3 4.1.1 or VRBMB1 4.1.2 then you can take OTAs. Any time you flash a stock tar, this removes every trace of custom software except your flash counter in different download mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] damnyouwaffles:
OK cool. Thanks for the info!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saibogu009:
Hi guys, hoping one you can help.

I recently had my unlocked/rooted HTC One replaced after it completely died on me. Almost the exact same thing as what happen to this guy http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2295374

Anyway, I went to unlock/install custom recovery on my new One. Done the unlock process fine, I've always used ClockWorkMod but I decided I'd flash TWRP to try. Files were sent/written ok and everythig seemed fine. But when I try to boot into recovery it shows the "Entering Recovery" screen (with the red warning text at the bottom) for a split second, then it just reboots the phone... So I tried Flashing CWM instead, again process went as normal but still can't boot to recovery. Even flashed the stock recovery and still the same. Tried flashing CWM through Rom Manager, just gives me "An error occurred while flashing your recovery".

It's a 3uk phone and their is no RUU for it yet that I've seen, so I thought if I can get S-Off I can change CID and use a generic European RUU. This when I realised it's not rooted and as I can't get to recovery I can't root it that way. Tried using the "Perm Root" option in the All-In-One kit but that just throws errors back.

Also the TAMPERED doesn't show above UNLOCKED for me in bootloader.

Any ideas? I stumped :(

Thanks.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saibogu009:
Anyone? :confused:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
Try 'fastboot erase cache'
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saibogu009:
Yeah I had done that, before and after flashing.

Funny thing is this morning after a full charge (wasn't like it was flat last night, had at least 50%) it worked fine, fired up the bootloader and the TAMPERED had appeared and now it loads the recovery perfect... :/ Just rooted it and now I'm off to S-Off and super CID.

Very strange but it's working now so I'm not complaining.

Thanks anyway guys.

:)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferincr:
Hi I have the Developer edition 64Gb and I have this problem too...

Aparently the TWRP flash went well (I tried both ways, AIl in one kit and fastbbot ways) but I cannot get into recovery.

I erased cache and reflashed again but nope.

Since this phone comes unlocked I assumed that I can just skip those steps of unlocking it (am I correct there?) and went straight into flashing recovery but it does not seem to have worked.

Anybody has a different suggestion?

Thanks,

EDIT:

Never mind, I just waited few hours and tried again and it works

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ecucaceres:
Hello, i´m new in this forum. I'm not very good in english, but i will try it.

I'm developing an applicqation in XDAII that uses serial port.That application is automatically re-installed every time I do a hard-reset (i have modified config.txt in the extended rom).The problem is that every time i do a hard restet, the irda port is enabled in the configuration-conexions-transfer menu. So every time i do a hard reset i have to disable manually the irda transfer. Do somebody know how to disable the irda modifiyng a registry key? Once i know the registry key that do this, i can build a application that modify that key. Thank a lof for all.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vangelderp:
Your question interested me as I have also done what you are describing, and what you are asking is a very good idea.

I did a little investigation into the registry but I don't have good news. I did a total dump of my XDAII registry with Beam Ticked and Un-Ticked. I then did a compare of the 2 results. It seems the setting is in

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Obex and Key IsEnabled is set to 1 for On or 0 for Off.

However changing the registry value just changes the state of the tick and makes no differance to the serial port being locked. So it seems that the registry is just a store for the current setting of the tick.

If you do get a final answer to this please post on this forum thread as it would be useful for me as well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JamesManios:
If you set this registry value and then reboot/reset the device, is IR turned off, (and the serial port unlocked)? I'm wondering if during the boot process it reads this value and will turn off IRDA ??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vangelderp:
Yes, it does then seem to work.

So it seems you have to set the IsEnabled key to 0, and then do a warm reset.

So I guess an exe could check the value in the registry key and if it was 1, it could set it to 0 and then do a warm reset. If the key was already 0 then nothing would need to be done.

IR Problem

Hi all,

had the same problem about 3 months ago. To solve the problem i replaced the comport to 9999 during the installation of the cab file.

Work fine for me

:P
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Tasty_Beats:
So long story short, I broke my Samsung Galaxy SIII T999 about a month ago and sent it in to be replaced through my insurance. I thought they had sent me another T999 but instead, they sent me the newer T999L model. I was unaware of this until I managed to hardbrick my new phone by trying to install a firmware for the T999 Model. Lesson learned, 'nuff said.

Now, to my REAL problem.... I've managed to contact a local guy who repairs hardbricked phones via Riff Box/Jtagging. But because this phone is such a new model, there isn't currently an "official" resurrection file out for the T999L. I got in contact with a guy on ebay who repairs phones and he stated that he had created his own resurrection file for the particular model. Buuuuuut he didn't want to share or sell it :(

Does anyone have access to a T999L resurrection file? I'm a little skeptical of sending my phone to be repaired, just because I've heard stories of phones not being returned and etc. Would my only other option be to perhaps swap out the motherboard on the phone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Unfortunately, there isn't one. Motodefier and I have been working on creating one, but its not quite ready yet. Almost, but not quite. Ill try to get back to looking at it tonight.

For actual, official firmware, youd have to wait for an update from sammy &T-Mobile.

Our thread is in the development section if you want to take a look.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Tasty_Beats:
Ahhhh, thats what I figured. Well thanks for the clarification I really appreciate it. Good luck on finishing that resurrection file :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If you do end up sending it in for repair, check out mobiletechvideos.com

I'd steer clear of the guy who supposedly has it, but won't share it. Sounds shady to me. (He may just be waiting for us to finish it!)

As for mobiletechvideos.com, lots of people have given positive reviews in this forum and I've never seen a negative one.

I've seen one other mentioned here that was just as good but cheaper, but can't remember more than that. Maybe someone else remembers.

Sorry I haven't got ours working btw. Ill be able to get back on it again tonight. I'm not the only one working on it though. So keep an eye on our thread.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
Can you get into the recovery menu? And do you have usb debugging enabled? If so we should be able to reverse the dumps we took of the partitions to get you back up, but I would only want to use this as a last resort, as we are very close to having this odin flashable finished.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
Its going to be hard to create an unbrickable mod, which I think is probably what you will need, qualcomm simplified thier pinout configuration for the MSM8960 board to keep us from getting into thier pbl but I know it can be done, we will just have to work on it, I will see what we might be able to come up with software wise for a oneclick unbrick for the T999L. Might be hard without having a bricked device to test it on, I will see if I can find one for sale on ebay or something. Its just a matter of time before it happens regaurdless of who gets it done. No promises but we will work on it. You might check this thread and see if you can get some support to adapt it to the T999L http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2023069
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Tasty_Beats:
Well hey man, as stated before, thank you guys for your work. I really appreciate it. I do have one last question though.... I technically would be able to swap out the mainboard with another T999L board right? I could also even switch it with a T999 mainboard correct?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
Yes you could swap the T999L main board, but the T999 mainboard is different, it may work but I doubt it, your ribbon cables probably won't match up.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lojak29:
So as I'm following this op, basically this device is so touchy and so new that a jtag doesnt even exist even with mobiltech vid?

Do we even have a stock firmware t999l tar file for Odin? For the sake of saving it through dload mode?

I'm gonna stay stock until theres some heavy dev work done, don't need a :banghead: hard brick...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
We are currently working on it, I think we're getting close, but not quite there yet. I believe DocHoliday77 has finished the md5's you can use in cwm or twrp but you should double check with him, as we are going through so much info, its a little hard to keep up with everything.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alex_mib:
Is there any solution for this? I think I got in exact same situation, got a replacement phone and figured out they sent me SGH-T999L version only after I flashed :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
If you can get it into download mode, this is the full stock untouched odin flashable package http://sourceforge.net/projects/d2ltetmo/files/latest/download
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alex_mib:
No, the thing is that is doesnt react to anything, looks like hard bricked... Any way to fix this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
Your only hope outside of a warranty claim or jtag service would be to buy a jig on ebay, and see if that will do it, I had my samsung vibrant do the same back in the day, and the jig saved me, its worth a shot they are usually only 2-5 bucks, beats buying a new phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alex_mib:
Yeah, thats what I thought and ordered one already. Is recovery process easy as they say in description? They say just plug it in and after 2 sec download logo would appear?

that jtag thing is a micro usb piece probably with some kind of program written in it, why can't developers send those commands through regular usb cable so the phone thinks its jtag?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
If the jig works for you, yes it is as easy as they say you will get the download mode logo very quickly after plugging the jig into your phone. If it doesn't work the first time, try borrowing someone else's battery because your battery could possibly be dead, it shouldn't be, but that happened to my Vibrant and I thought it was hardbricked, until I tried another battery, also sometimes the cheaper jigs won't work if your battery isn't fully charged, the one I bought didn't work the second time I used it, battery was around 70-80% I replaced the resistors with some I bought at fry's and it works every time, probably something to do with the quality of resistors being used. If they show a jtag as just a micro usb then its labeled wrong, jtag is usually performed with a riff box, both software and hardware are required to perform a jtag service, and it usually involves getting access to certain contact points on the motherboard, send me the link to what they are calling a jtag I would like to look at it, but most likely it's just a jig, Jtags are pretty expensive because of the type of software they require.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alex_mib:
Yeah, youre right, it's jig http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Jig-Don...Phone_PDA_Cables_Adapters&hash=item51acb6eae7

Do you think it will work?

Another option I saw on ebay you can send your phone to somebody and they fix it for 25-50$ + shipping.

[MENTION=3033992]kasper_h[/MENTION] Hi, I installed your carbon rom on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 p7500. It works better than what I had before (CM) as there's less lag and some nice features but I can't seem to find a toggle for signal or data to turn on and off mobile data. Could you help me? Thanks very much! Currently all I can find is a 2G toggle to turn 2G off (which seems to default to 3G) or to force 2G on. I want to be able to turn off mobile data completely for when I'm at home or overseas and use wifi.

HY,there are several ways.Some roms offer you the option by long pressing the power button which gaves you a menu including mobile data toggle.If this doesnt work for your rom go to settings ,more and APN which means acess points names and select the option that suits your data plan.The easier way is to go to play store and download a app like beautifull widgets that will help you toggle on mobile data(to make sure this works you need to make sure that apn is set as it should,if you are not sure just call your provider and ask them)PLEASE PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED!!!!

I know other carbon users I talked to at the irc channel said they have a "signal" toggle to add on to control data but I've looked so many times and it isn't one of the toggles I have on my tab.
