[Windows RT Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
I dont think anyone knows the exact pinout but there is i2c on the connector for the touch/type covers, they are themselves i2c devices. If someone knew the pinout, theres your access. Stick some magnets on some card with a few pieces of wire sticking out of it, should be able to hold against the connector. But that doesnt matter so much.

I've heard of linux consoles being accessed over UART (infact I have done this with a raspberry pi) but not i2c. The tegra does have at least 1 UART though (I have a feeling it might have 3 or 4). Whehter you would have to tear a surface apart to get at it though is another matter. I know that several devices actually make the uart externally accessibly via either the USB or audio jacks with a quick pinmux. A nexus 4 for example you stick a certain resistor between the mic and ground channels on its audio jack and I think the left audio channel becomes Tx and right Rx or vice versa. A few android tablets (I think HTC are big on this) use the microUSB, certain resistor value between the sensor and ground lines as is often used for enabling USB host triggers D+ and D- to become Tx and Rx instead. No microUSB on the surface though. My guess if they ran one externally it would either be on the cover connector (there are 5 connected contacts yet only worked out a purpose for 4 of them, then there is 1 pin not connected to anything for some reason, probably future expansion, perhaps this 5th pin enables a UART instead of i2c???) or the audio jack, there might well not be one accessible externally at all :/

I would assume the surface screen is either LDVS or DSI, the prior is more likely to be documented than the latter (DSI isnt even fully standardised, in theory it is but in practise DSI devices are rarely compatible even with the same res, colour depth etc). May well be possible to output direct to that initially.

With the keyboard being i2c it may well be possible to write a driver to use it on linux on an existing device, not sure how well USB-i2c adaptors work but the pi has 2 native i2c buses.

I do agree that the surface is the logical starting point. Its probably sold the most units at any rate and is the first thing people think of when you say windows RT. Other tegra devices would be the most logical to follow on with, qualcomm would perhaps be able to reuse step 1 but step 2 you would likely have to start from scratch all over :/

Oh well, 1 hurdle at a time. Honestly though, the existance of a functioning linux port for the surface would make me tempted to buy one. That or microsoft unlocking RT to literally be windows 8 on ARM not windows 8 stuck in a cage.

There is already a method of running any unsigned EFI file (for example a GRUB loader). But it works only on Asus tablets and requires USB stick inserted on boot and Bitlocker turned off in Windows (as the "trusted boot environment" is broken). I'll publish it later - probably after 8.1 official release, as it can be easily closed by Asus in a next firmware update that may be required for 8.1.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gigadroid:
After I saw the leaked Android 4.3 ROM I messed around with the ROM Files to port it to my N4.

But currently I'm hanging in an Bootloop (I didn't expected something else to be honest)

I made a logcat but don't know what exactly goes wrong and what I need to change.

I attached the logcat

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gigadroid:
But there is no libnetcmdiface.so neither in the GS4 ROM nor in the N4 ROM.

And I think it's only for wifi so that can't be the thing that triggers the bootloop or?

I don't think it's the cause of the bootloop I think it's all in the audio

I don't get that netd error if I use netd from cm10.1 doesn't seem to cause issues but audio still makes it crap itself
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
would either of you mind PMing me the link to what you have so far? I can host it on my mediafire account but the dropbox link died because apparently a lot of people got excited that you were porting the ROM and decided to download it.

(I've been working on a port as well and was going to check out your progress for any differences that we may be able to collaborate)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gigadroid:
Oh sorry, didn't saw that.

I'm currently uploading it to my SkyDrive (did thought so many people would download it)

Currently stopped porting because I completly bricked my device, but I found a way to unbrick it and wrote a guide :D

Don't know if I'll restart porting.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gigadroid:
I messed around with updater scripts and formated partions wrong, that was extremly stupid -.-
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
is the one you posted before you did that because I'm pretty bad with the updater scripts and I probably will just look at it and say "sounds good" and then brick my phone too haha
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gigadroid:
This updater-script is okay, but only if you flash that on a N4.

For a other device you need to modify it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
yeah, that's the plan. I'll check back if I can get anywhere... by the time any of us do, the official update will come out haha

bexus 4 boot loops issue

hi this might sound like a noob question but have o tryed compressing a differnt boot.img into the rom file to see if that would work like a boot.img from 4.2.2
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WildfireDEV:
Highly unlikely to work but it is worth a try.

**Press the thanks button if I have helped you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayjsteez:
boot.img

hey just knoticed i was digging around in the rom and there is no boot.img in the rom witch will make a boot loop i think if we can find a boot.img from maybe a 4.3 rom it might work because i tried to use a 4.2.2 boot.img and when i installed the rom it said to update boot.img and then was stuck in a boot loop again ...so im thinking if we can find a 4.3 boot.img it might work
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gigadroid:
Did I forgot the boot.img o.O

But there is no working boot.img, I've an idea but I'm on holiday without a pc so I can only try it in a week.

I think 4.3 will be officially released before we successfully ported it xD
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WildfireDEV:
Thing is that there is a very small chance that porting will be success as there isn't a 4.3 boot image to use in the port. Unless someone here is such a good kernel dev that they can cook up one for unreleased firmware. Much easier for them to officially release it and then start any work.

Hi guys, first off I searched all over to find anyone who had the same problem, alas no luck so I decided to post this up if anyone can help. If my dumb ass missed or searched wrong to find the correct link please post it and remove this post. So I have been hacking and modding video game consoles for 5 years, with no problems whatsoever, until I decided to go to phones XD I wanted to root and flash my htc one x which is:

Nov 26 2012,18:37:14:-1

originally a telus canadian phone. I flashed the phone to cyanogen and the flash took 3 seconds, as soon as I saw it take 3 seconds I knew what I had just done. I've been searching desperately for a RUU or OTA, called into HTC and Telus and they were of no help of course, HTC helped me clear my cache, restore system settings, and all this other fancy work but without any luck. I have tried going into recovery mode but it does not work from bootloader, my phone turns on, goes past the HTC logo then a phone with a little green arrow pointing at the phone appears for a couple mins before being replaced with a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside of it. I have downloaded the OTA and RUU for my phone, neither come with .exe files when I extract them, only boot.img files which I have tried to flash using a hex downloaded from this website but everything keeps failing. If anyone has any advice or a link to a step by step guide too fixing this it would be greatly appreciated, thanks,

Sam.

Once again if there is already a post like this go ahead and remove this I do not mean to spam the website!

How do you expect to flash anything with a locked bootloader?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] spikypsn:
As I said its been RELOCKED, I can easily unlock bootloader again, when I flashed it was unlocked, only after messing up I decided to relock it
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RollTribe:
What you're going to want to do is flash the stock recovery and then run the ruu. Then go through the unlock process. I am not sure what exactly your problem is, but this should fix it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] spikypsn:
I ran the RUU and it comes up with this error XD, would you happen to know what the problem is? I tried reflashing Telus stock RUU and rogers RUU with the same radio, both came up with the same error, I also ran the OTA;S one for telus and one for rogers and they both did not work

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edirector:
I used an app called Divide (yes I went to their website to find an answer first) and it divides your device between work & play. Acts like a partition. I removed the app but the device is still maintains the partition. It is not visible my device is only showing as a 4 GB device and it is a 8GB 3113-wifi only.

I'm running a rooted 4.12 JB version of a 3110 rom on the only partition visible. Tried flashing other roms thru odin but it never changes from the current version. Or I get aborted/fail. Anyway I think it is a partitioning issue. The back up I made before using the Divide app won't restore it back to the way it was.

Is there any way I can repartition it back from 4GB to 8?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agoattamer:
Have you tried contacting the app's developer for support?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edirector:
Yes, but it didn't help

It still won't unpartition the device what they are suggesting. So I have just 4GBs now out of 8. I tried reflashing, factory resets from both the device settings menu and CWM. It won't restore the unrooted version. So it will just wipe the user data that's it.

So I take it I can't try the other rooting version TRP or TRW not sure what it is called? It is not bricked don't want to brick it. Have a fail safe a product warranty. I can drop it water for awhile or on cement crack the screen and get another one. Can't send in for repair because of rooting. Only thing is I am still under manufacturers one year warranty but not really with rooting.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agoattamer:
Have you tried formatting your system through recovery? mounts and storage > format system. I would then try kies instead of odin to do an emergency recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edirector:
Tried Odin

Mounts & storage? I tried it too, so far nothing changes the partitioning. I can't flash another rom on it. I tried flashing one of the latest ones and it keeps giving me aborted. Even after reflashing to stock from odin. Nothing changes it from the one I'm using stock 4.12 signed leftist or something like that. The rom that says go have a sandwich and come back.

The INDIAN ROM focked my phone up :( Neither my official ROM, works, i can get to download mode, but stuck samsung logo, and didnt open recovery :s

Did you know something to do?
[Samsung Galaxy S Duos] Mohitash:
Many users are there using my rom and had no problem.

This rom is for GT-S7562 only (no S7562L, S7562M, etc...)

Are you able to use Odin?

If not:

Then take out your battery, sim and extSDcard. leave it for 10 seconds.

After 10 seconds hold power button for 10 seconds then again leave it for 10 seconds.

Then put the battery in, sim and SDcard also. But keep your back cover out.

Go to download mode and Run Odin(Uncheck all options except Auto Reboot and Reset time)

Flash baseband firmware with odin using PDA button

After finishing when phone reboots. When phone vibrates, in that immidiately take out your battery and after 5 seconds put the battery in again.

Go to download mode again and flash CWM with Odin with same process and then when phone reboots be ready to take out the battery(do the same thing take out battery and put in battery)

Now go to CWM recovery Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and then flash whatever rom you wanna flash(Install from sdcard) based on that firmware baseband only.

Reboot.

If rom is not in your SD card:

After 4th step from above,

Flash your baseband firmware made for you for your country (Flash it twice).

First time do the same, take out battery and put in battery.

After Flashing second time make it boot.

So now your phone is booted.
[Samsung Galaxy S Duos] Velcis Ribeiro:
Hey i flashed this S7562LVJALK1_VJLK1_ZTOALK1_HOME, a 800~mb file from my country, and pull out battery than flash CWM and no fix, i cant enter in Recovery, and stuck at samsung logo.... :(
[Samsung Galaxy S Duos] Mohitash:
Have you flashed your baseband firmware twice as i posted above?
[Samsung Galaxy S Duos] Velcis Ribeiro:
Not now, but for the first steps before flash twice, you said to flash CWM and enter in it, but i can't enter in it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Duos] Mohitash:
Dont go to recovery

after 4th step of going download mode and odin etc...

Flash your country baseband twice

1st time when phone vibrates take out battery and then put in

Then flash your country baseband again and after that let it boot.

First we have to make your phone booted
[Samsung Galaxy S Duos] Mohitash:
No mate, you have to update first to the recommended baseband firmware mentioned in 1st post.
[Samsung Galaxy S Duos] xristosxat:
I know they way he talk it was soooo bad. Not every person think , and also cant understand , the hard work that someone do. Keep on great roms friend.

And we all thank you for the download link.

Some questions now:

We cant just update to the new rom without wipe everything? I mean just to flash the new version? As someone else said before its so hard every week to set up the phone from start.
[Samsung Galaxy S Duos] droidice:
thanks for the fast reply.. :)

but could you port this ROM for the latest version maybe later some time ??? :confused:
