[HTC Droid DNA] insann:
Hi guys,

I've got my DNA last friday. Since then I've rooted, s-off, and so on... Flashed loads of different ROMs and I have a question:

Half the ROMs I've flashed my available storage is inside a folder called "0", in the file manager. Is that folder that shows on my PC. On the other ROMs my file explorer opens in the root of internal storage.

Why does that happen? I'm getting really confused with that especially because I don't know exactly how many storage space is available..

Thanks for your time, and sorry for my english
[HTC Droid DNA] cstrife999:
Its the way 4.2.2 does file management. It puts things into 0 folder to act like a different user I believe. Google 4.2.2 changes would probably be a bigger help than I lol.
[HTC Droid DNA] insann:
Thanks. Never been between 4.0.4 and 4.2 on my previous androids. :good:
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Yea, 4.2 adds the 0 folder, but it really isn't visible, it's only an issue when you flash back to 4.1
[HTC Droid DNA] Flashme14:
I was wondering this to thank you! I hate the way 4.2 does it, its a hasel when going back to 4.1

I've only flashed venom Rom and once I used my otg cord I have a new folder on the root of my phone under sdcard and it has sdcard0 and the usb and the sdcard0 file is everything on the original sdcard file
[HTC Droid DNA] Flashme14:
Yeah everything on viper is under sd, on any Rom with 4.2 its on sd0. I went from viper DNA to carbonrom, then back to viper DNA because on carbonrom even with crpalmer kernel I was getting five hour max battery life even after tweeking and under clocking the cpu. Then when I went back to viper at first had hard time finding the files I down when on carbonrom which is 4.2 to delete so I could free up storage. Finally found out I had to plug Into pc and look under sd0 to delete the stuff from carbon to clear up some space! The guy who decided not to add removable sd to DNA should be fired lol.. stupid mistake they made doing this. But I'm in no way talking trash about carbonrom I love it one of my favorite roms. If the battery life ever gets fixed il switch in a heart beat. I love carbonrom its 4.2 asop runs so smooth and fast , and love the mods you can do to your device in it. So looks like I'm stuck with sense Rom until carbonrom gets more work on battery life. It be fine if I wasn't a heavy phone user and WiFi user.. :( dam Verizon for getting rid of there unlimited data I didn't know at the time of renewing my contract to get the DNA. I ask sales person over the phone do I get to keep my unlimited data he says yes sir everything stays the same just have two more years on contract. Day DNA comes in was watching YouTube vids get a message from Verizon that I'm about to go over data . So I called and they said no sir we no longer have unlimited when you sign new contract with us. But you can pay 699.00 and get your unlimited data back by paying full price sir. F u lady you guys lied to me when I asked if I get to keep if I renew my contract. Verizon has lost all my respect lol

Viper DNA, s_off DLX
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
'They' didn't lie to you. The customer service rep was just misinformed. They have been very straight forward in the fact that the only way to keep unlimited was to pay full price.

Locatr is a totally free anti-theft app I wrote that focuses on being easy to use and lightweight. It works through a web browser. It has features like Device Location, Device Tracking (Email notifications of device movement), Play Ringtone (Override silent settings and play ringtone at max volume), Remote Wipe and more. It can also do remote password sets and resets. Each account can manage multiple devices. It's the only app I'm aware of that does all this, completely for free, with no adds. Should be great for XDA users who generally like the stock Android theme, and free things.

This is my first app, so I'm interested if you fine folks could give me some feedback.

Download Locatr and find your phone or tablet for free on Google Play - (Requires Android 2.3.3+ and GPS)

Hey guys m new in w8 it is my Dad phone...i m having some knowledge about rooting and installing roms and etc...but when coming to the point of w8 in threads i found that we need to unlock boot loader but m really confused about boot loader...i m having e16i and manufacturing date is 11w33 and i want to know can i unlock boot loader with safe process without bricking my e16i and helpers are always appericiated and thankfull...:):):):):)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cascabel:
don't try it mate. for x8/w8, if the date is greater than 11w28, the risk of a hard brick is huge. better stay on stock kernel. also, you may want to read the stickies to make it clear why that's so.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vineeth15:
Thank u bro..but in some threads i saw that u can unlock and most of the roms work with unlocked boot loader...can u please say me which roms do not need unlocked boot loader...thanks.!!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cascabel:
some people with 11w29 up have successfully unlocked their bl. they got lucky as most who tried bricked their phones. there is also a paid method but i'm not familiar with it.

roms that do not need unlocked bootloader? gingerdx, froyopro, froyobread, amd some more in the dev section of x8. there are a number of roms for stock. so just have a look around. :thumbup:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] etkal:
I have been asked to look into whether an application we have written ro PocketPC will work on an XDA device. It currently uses the PC/SC API to access a SIM card in a Cardman PCMCIA carrier. I need to find out if we can either use the PC/SC API to run GSM SIM commands to the SIM/USIM in the built in reader, e.g. reading files, unlocking the PIN, getting status, running the GSM or AUTH algorithm and retrieving results.

Is the PC/SC API supported? Are there equivalent functions in the RIL API? Where is some good documentation on low-level SIM card access in this environment?

Thanks,

Erik Tkal
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
the only method to communicate with SIM card is through the GSM modem's AT commands.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] alexcohn:
GSM modem's AT commands

Maybe you've got a quick hint - how I can use AT commands to milk the SIM card for its GSM triplets?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eldwafio:
Hey guys and gals,

although this is kind of a general android question, as it relates directly to my One and the whole CID changing kerfuffle going on in the 4.2.2 thread, i've plopped it here (MODS, please feel free to move if you deem necessary).

Just done a quick google and can't immediately see an answer to my question which is this. I've followed the process of using Revone to unlock b/l and s-off to enable me to change my CID and go through the 4.2.2 update. I bought a carrier branded One from Vodafone UK (CID VODAP001) and besides the boot screen and bloat, as far as i'm aware, it's no different to the unlocked Euro model other than Vodafone had control over the updates. The insurance I have on this phone is through my bank and not my carrier so they're not going to be bothered if my phone is branded or not, just if anything goes wrong I guess they'll look at the bootloader.

At the moment, my phone is still unlocked and s-off but i've changed the CID to HTC__001. If anything goes wrong, such as knackered screen and i have to send it off, if I use Revone to lock b/l and s-on with HTC__001 instead of VODAP001 am I going to break things or will it just act normally? Am in half a mind to lock it anyway to reduce any temptation to flash a custom ROM ;) (can't go back to daily rom switching that I had on my sensation).

Sorry for the waffle, TLDR, if I lock my b/l to a different CID than the original, will I break it?

Cheers in advance for any help / thoughts
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ardmanz:
I guess it depends. If you have to send it to voda or HTC for repair they may not repair it under warranty.

If you smash your phone and go through your insurance company I can't see it making a difference.

If you need to send it in for repair you can just change your CID back to the original vodafone one.

Your phone won't act any differently with the CID of HTC__001.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eldwafio:
Thanks Ardmanz, i thought that might be the case but wanted to check that nothing untoward would happen if i locked it as HTC__001. I won't be sending it back to Vodafone if anything goes wrong and if it does wing its way back to HTC, hopefully using the -T command under Revone will cover my tracks.

Thanks again
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Thing is, though, HTC will know it was meant to be a Vodafone-branded handset should you have to send it back to them and they may refuse the warranty on it. But there is nothing wrong with you locking it again if it's working no - it'll just run as if it was unbranded out-the-box
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eldwafio:
This whole thing's been gnawing at me for the last few days.

I've been searching for the original Vodafone ruu online but the best I can come up with is an ota. I'm kinda bumping someone else's question on another thread that was never answered as well.

Currently on 4.2.2 by forcing the Scandinavian update and then changed my cid to HTC__001. For back up sake if I need it, could I run the 4.1.2 run for the European unbranded ( RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13. 3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe) then write my cid back to VODAP001 and finally flashing the ota for Vodafone ( OTA_M7_UL_JB_50_Vodafone_UK_1.29.161.11-1.28.161.7_release_315813_signedoj2qp335qmm8qjso.z ip)?

Think the easiest option will be too just do what I though in my above posts but curious to see if that'd work.

Thanks again in advance for any help :D
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
The OTA won't flash as it requires 1.28.161.7 to be present on the phone. You will have 1.28.401.7 which doesn't match. You're basically stuck until someone dumps the Vodafone UK build online
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eldwafio:
Cheers Eddy, that was just one thing I didn't quite understand. I wasn't sure if the lack of a Vodafone ruu was down to it not being posted or if Vodafone somehow just flashed an ota over the European unlocked version.

Thanks for clearing that up for me :D

Hi!

Hope someone can help me:

I cracked the screen of my lg e975 when it fell out of my pocket. phone and lcd still working correctly but the glass and digitizer are broken, so the phone gives no response to any touch..

Is there any chance to get access to the data on the builtin storage? all the pics, notes,..

the phone is turned on and usb-debugging is turned off.

I am thankful for any help!

greets morph
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
are you on stock or custom rom?

if you are on stock, you can always try LG onscreen phone.
[LG Optimus G (International)] morpheus_mst:
yes i am still on stock rom.

will try that, thx a lot! will i need any tricks to get it work this way?
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
no, lg on screen phone is an official app.you can acces your phone from pc,like you would do it from phone itself.

BTW,have you tried connecting the phone to pc and acces your files?
[LG Optimus G (International)] morpheus_mst:
of course i connected my phone to pc but no drives are showen..

okay, i tried to get into my phone via LG OSP but it didnt recognize my phone - says i have to change connecting option to "lg software" but i cant do anything on my broken-screen phone - and current option is "charge only" and no usb-debugging selected..

any other way to get into that phone??? :((

greetz morph
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
Well,can't think of anything.the only would be lg service mode.when you are on stock,turning off phone and pressing vol up +power will bring service mode,especially made to recover files,but i didn't managed to acces the files,as it says only for lg service.

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark_sgy:
Please help me, my phone can't detect sim card after upgrading to JB. Even if I flash other firmware JB/GB still same. I dont have backup of anything, i'm screwed. Search everywhere, the only resolution that i think will work is using those flash box wich are expensive and i do not have those special cables that are needed.

Any help that you will post is highly appreciated.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaXiS96:
LOL

Boxes... bricked Nokia phones... bad ol' days!

AFAIK, the reason resides in the modemfs and EFS partitions, which are different between EU and Asian firmwares. You would need to flash an Asian stock ROM which contains at least efs.bin.md5, but I don't think there may be any.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark_sgy:
But why? How about if i restore backup of working ace?

Sent from my Z120
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaXiS96:
If you find someone which has a working Asian Ace 2, yes, you could dd dump the EFS and modemfs partitions, but then you will have his same IMEI because of the EFS lol

There isn't any hope, so the best thing to do is sending it to RMA, since they usually don't mind (if they are not Samsung official Service) and send you a new phone.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluffi444:
This is not valid for NovaThor U8500 Chip based phones (8160, 8190, 9070)...

The IMEI is (not 100% proved but quite sure) in CSPSA_FS partition. MAC for Wifi and Bluetooth is in MODEM_FS...

The role of EFS (which is for many other phones the place for IMEI) is not clear up to now....

Normaly you NEVER overwrite you CSPSA_FS partition if you only flashed original FW.

Therefore I think there could be still a chance to recover your Phone.

Please tell me the exact details of your Phone (8160/8160P) and the FW you flashed right before your phone stucks.

Futhermore you can try this (TEE Folder method)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2159250
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaXiS96:
Yeah, but WiFi and BT MAC addresses cannot be located in the modemfs partition, since they are unique per physical device and flashing any FW would mean changing it (and then many people would have the same MAC)... They must be elsewhere.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluffi444:
If you flash the MODEM_FS and EFS (via DD ADB) from an other Phone you will have also the Wifi MAC of this phone!

Made this recently during my test to bring back 8160P... see sig.

If I flash an foreign DUMP to my phone and flashback my MODEM_FS + EFS my original MAC is recoverd.

Do you have anything to prove your statement?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaXiS96:
Then it would mean that when flashing a stock FW the modemfs and EFS partitions do not get wiped but instead just updated.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluffi444:
First of all show me an original full FW that inculded MODEM_FS or/and EFS (and/or CSPSA)... I do not know one! ;)

That leads me to the opinion that they stay untouched (or only being updated while first boot after ODIN flash)

BUT: The well known RUS GB FW has quite all partitions included - also the obove mentioned. And this do not change IMEI and/or MAC adresses...

Comparted them with my original partitions recently and it looks like that the RUS FW has emty parts in there...

But this is still not proven how this all works...
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaXiS96:
I was going to upload the RUS GB ROM tar image until i read the last part of your message :laugh:

Now everything is clearer, at least to me.

Hi guys, I was ony ICS Leak #1, then flashed MIUIv4.0.4 for ATT&T. It worked great for almost an year. Yesterday I accidentaly wiped my data/factory reset, so after that I tried another rom on my 1st system, it didn't boot so I went back to MIUI but I'm getting FC all the time. How can I get back to ICS Leak #1 so I can flash MIUIv4 again?

#2) What JB Rom would you recommend if I want the most close to Stock JB experience?

Thank you for your time!

Hi, I have a problem with random reboots on Revelation Rom. I already know some users have already reported some issues with it. Full reboots are totaly random, they happen when i dont use the phone (sleep), when i try to unlock it, or doing anything like typing a message, using web browser, etc. Ofcourse i did a full wipe befeore install, installed rom with default settings, i also didn't restore any apps, or something.

This is my last_kmsg from last reboot, i hope it will help SebastianFM to solve the problem (i believe there is one, other roms work like they should and i think i also do everythig like i should during install and after).

Can't post it in dev sectcion due to 10 posts restrictions.

Cheers.
[HTC Sensation] pixule:
Use 1188 mhz max cpu frequency, no cpu control software, I don't have reboots.
[HTC Sensation] Lubosz:
I have already tried to set 1188, 1296 and 1512 during install, all options gave me the same results, so i think it is not realted to CPU max freq.
[HTC Sensation] lavafire:
I don't know if we have the same problem, I have my sensation turning off randomly for no reason what so ever. The weird thing is when it is plugged in, it doesn't turn it self off. I already brought a new battery so shouldn't be that. I also tried putting some paper in the battery section in case there was a lose connection. Played around with software, got nothing changing ROM, changing CPU freq, changing radio... nothing helps. I think mine problems are random reboots + shutdown, so it is not all ways the case it has rebooted. But when it does do the random reboot, it is often when I am trying to wake the device. I have no idea when it shuts down since when I try to wake it, it was shut down. Then I had to hold the power button to turn it on. Lastly, I think i get mostly shutdown.
[HTC Sensation] Lubosz:
Well, i don't know what is causing your problem. If you change between different roms/kernels/firmwares/radios/etc. and problem always exist, it can be hardware related.

Mine only appears on Revelation rom, and i always get the full reboot (no soft reboots or shutdowns).
[HTC Sensation] SebastianFM:
These reboots are caused by kernel 3.4.10, not ROM, so we may continue this discussion on my kernel related thread. Reboots occurs only on few devices. I received many kernel logs, but I didn't find the reason, errors are different for each user.
[HTC Sensation] JohnyB.:
The 12th day on the Revelation ROM and not a single reboot.

Also writing here due to the 10 post's rule (:eek:)

Will go back to the Revelation thread after this post because I really like the SebastiamFM's work and I have none of there mantioned problems (maybe one or two). ;)

I was havign problems on the begining thoe... i couldnt startt the phone. It rebooted when I had to insert the PIN code or before the Sense even managed to load. Then I formated everything (including the SD card) to eliminate any "remains" of previous ROM's and i set the GPU on 300 and the MAX freq to 1520 and from than till now not a single lag. :cool:
[HTC Sensation] Far_SighT:
Try using performance governer instead of ondemand.

Happy to help.
[HTC Sensation] AwsmStar:
You could try reseating the battery or securing it a bit tighter, some users have reported reboots because of the battery being somewhat 'loose'.

[HTC Desire S] Al-Caone:
Hello,

I wanted to restore my Desire S (remove S-OFF, root and set up a stock rom).

So first I updated the HBOOT-Version to 2.00.0002. After flashing the HBOOT the information in Bootloader were changed to

###LOCKED###

SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.00.0002

RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M

eMMC-boot

In the second step I tried to install the stock RUU. For the installation I used "RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9".

But the installation failed with an error message, that the CID is wrong. I completely forgot, that the CID is VODAP102.

So then I tried to install the RUU "RUU_Saga_Vodafone_UK_1.32.161.1" but this failed, too.

I get the error message, that the current main-version on the Desire S is higher then the main-version of the ROM.

When I start my Desire it stuck on the HTC-Logo. I always tried to extract the rom.zip from the RUUs, rename it to PG88IMG.zip and install it from the Bootloader.

But after it checked the ROM I got the same errors (CID and main-version).

The next idea was to downgrade the HBOOT, so I reboot to bootloader.

In the bootloader I noticed, that I dont't get an ADB-connection. The command "adb devices" doesn't show my device. I have only a fastboot-connection.

The command "fastboot getvar all" show the following output:

version: 0.5

version-bootloader: 2.00.0002

Can someone help me, please?

I have no idea anymore how I can fix this.

[HTC Desire S] Aquous:
It's simple, you need to find the correct RUU (both version-number-wise and CID-wise) and run that :)
[HTC Desire S] Al-Caone:
Yeah :), but that problem is, that I only found the RUU_Saga_Vodafone_UK_1.32.161.1. I don't find a newer version.
[HTC Desire S] Al-Caone:
Can someone help me, please?

I don't find a newer RUU and don't know what I can do else. I have no ideas more.
[HTC Desire S] Aquous:
You can always use the ICS RUU, but keep in mind that ICS has bugs and that you will void your warranty.

You could also use a RUU with a different CID and use a goldcard.
[HTC Desire S] Al-Caone:
When I use the ICS RUU, can I downgrade without HTC-Dev to a lower HBOOT-Version after the installation?

Depends the creation of a goldcard on the sd-card or the device? I tried to create a goldcard on another device, but the RUU-installation failed anyway.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
With the goldcard use the 2.10.401.9 RUU again. If the goldcard is correctly made you should have successful flash this time.

You can use it like this or use Zergrush or other temproot in order to lower the version and then flash the Vodaphone RUU to return to Stock if you need that specific version for some reason

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] Al-Caone:
I made a goldcard, but the installation of the RUU failed anyway. I put my SD-Card in an other Desire S and tried to create a Goldcard. According the tool goldcard was made successfully. But when I try to install the RUU, I get a CID-error.

Does the creation of the goldcard depends on sd-card or device?
