cruisin-thru >> Thanks for your msg.

A) When you say "Once the backup is complete you can remove the card and soft reset" does it mean that I can remove the SD card while the device is still in the "bootloader mode" and then soft reset to close the device??

B) The second part of your message is what I precisely tried and got the above reported error msg. Anything wrong that I was attempting?? OK one thing is I had formatted the SD card on the Wallaby itself not on any card reader.....could this be an issue??

Thanks!!!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cruisin-thru:
You should format the card on the pc in a card reader and choose fat and not fat32. Yes you can remove the sd card while in bootloader.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] freemee:
Thanks -- will try this later today and report.....
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
Ok. Program pput has missed in the XDATools. Will update the package this evening....

You can additionaly download the itsutils from the ftp. There is the pput.exe (and some more utils) included....

HTH

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] freemee:
Thanks Stefan >> I look fwd to the update. Could'nt find the link on the ftp (no url emebedded there).

PS >> If I am able to locate pput.exe elsewhere on this site - do I just put it in the folder where XDATools have been extracted??

Thanks again.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
Download either this: ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Wallaby/Tools/XDATools.zip

or that:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Wallaby/Tools/itsutils.zip

Both contain now the pput.exe

Just ensure, it´s in the same directory like pnewbootloader (or in the path) to be able to run it....

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] freemee:
Hello Stefan > One more query please...... As per instructions I am supposed to take a back-up of existing bootloader and ROM.....

Question is why do I need to back these up (my existing bootloader is 5.22 and ROM is 4.01.16 ENG) ....... since these are readily available on this site??

Am I missing some point??
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] freemee:
Hello Stefan >> I tried again with the new download and made sure that all the specified criteria were met. Now I do not get the pput error -- but I still get the following error:

C:\XDA\xdatools>pnewbootloader bootloader_v5_15.nb0

Unable to find flash info offset, cannot disable bootloader writeprotect

(This time I did format the SD card in "FAT" format and put it in the XDA. Last time I had not done this step).

When I run the 'pnewbootloader' command it asks me if I want to downgrade from 5.17 to 5.15 bootloader -- so my question is -- will this utility will only work on 5.17 version?? I have version 5.22

Or is there any other way I can fix this problem??

As always thanks for your help.

freemee
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
Bootloader 5.22 should be also ok for the complete process....

Skip point 6 of the instructions.....

Stefan
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] freemee:
I am trying to do this by flashing the device via SD card. I am running the OSImageTool to copy the "nk.nbf" file to the SD card.

Once that is done, I am trying to read the size of the copied file. Here are the two scenarios I have:

1. When I had formatted the card as FAT (from my SD reader) and then copied the nk.nbf file - it reports a size of 0 bytes

2. Next I formatted the SD card in the XDA and this time after copying the nk.nbf file - I am getting a file size as 512 bytes.

Question is that the actual filesize of nk.nbf is 31,745 bytes.

Am I on the right track??......what is the right way to do this.

Thanks.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
Rom is written in special format to the sd card. Normally you're not able to read the file directly at the card. If you insert the sd card in your xda with running OS you should get an popup that asks you if you want to format the card. So it's not the normal FAT Format used for flashing....

Therefore it could be you're getting different results.

Stefan
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] freemee:
Vielen Danke Stefan......you are right...I was able to read the filesize only in the properties.....not directly.

Which method shall I use 1 or 2 (as posted above). Maybe it does not matter...but since I am flashing the device....thought better to ask....

Thanks.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] freemee:
Stefan >> Successful unlocking!!!!

Thanks for your help and patience in answering a newbies questions.

Thanks also to crusin-thru and all others that have made life easier for the world at large.

Just a quick snapshot:

-- I skipped point 6 of the instructions (as per Stefan's advise)

-- For copying the nk.nbf file - I had formatted the SD card in the XDA itself (I am not sure whether this is relevant or not) - but just to record how I did it.

Now my device has the following config:

ROM > 3.17.03 ENG

Radio > 6.24.00

Protocol ver > 324e4

Thanks guys!

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Varekai:
I recently had my HTC One replaced due to a bad microphone. After rooting/ s-off'ing and installing elemental x 0.6 and Tranquil rom (same stuff I was running on my old phone) I noticed it was pretty sluggish. So I ran a antutu test and I only got a score of 12k. So I went in trickster mod and ran again in performance mode to get a score of only 16k. Checked usage history and from the look of things only core 0 is running at any time. Core's 1, 2, and 3 are always offline. I wiped and re-installed everything and I'm still getting the same thing. Is it possible to have a hardware malfunction where only one core is working?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sshede:
Try it with stock firmware and software, then you'll know if the problem is hardware related - which I wouldn't believe it is. It's possible, but unlikely.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Maybe the kernel has a power saving mod.

Try RUU and see if all 4 cores work. I'm pretty sure there are some kernels out there that are supposed to do what you describe as a problem.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Varekai:
Ill mess with RUU over the weekend, in the process of moving so don't want to get that deep. It's odd because this is the same exact kerne/rom and settings as my original One and it never did this.

[Motorola Atrix HD] chococomaxim:
Hey guys, i am interested in making my own ROMO for this device. I know that it will probably be difficult to do so i just wanted to know the basics, as in, what do i need to know (skills) before i fully get into making a ROM. the difficulty is not a factor, i will get it eventually ;)
[Motorola Atrix HD] frog1982:
Linux based operating system and effort

start by compiling cm from the instructions on there site
[Motorola Atrix HD] Aingaran:
Set up cygwin kitchen with a Linux virtual machine and learn the structure and functions of rom folders and files.. That's all you need...
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
What you need really depends on what kind of rom you want to do. For Stock Based Roms, all you need is 7-zip, Notepad++, apktool and a wrapper for it (android kitchen, etc).

You don't need Linux unless you want to compile from source. Ignore the Cygwin suggestion -- Cygwin will eat the cpu/ram up and that's whats needed the most when compiling (well, disk IO is, but....). Once you have Linux installed, do a PAC or CM10.2 build since they both fully compile and ya need to test out your build environment.

Cygwin is fine if you just need to use some Linux apps\commands every once and a while and ya don't wanna boot into Linux. Unless you have a really, really bad ass PC (8 core AMD @ 3.8ghz, 16GB+ ram, SSD) Cygwin/virtual environments won't be worth using for things like compiling.
[Motorola Atrix HD] chococomaxim:
Thanks for the info, I do have Linux and I want to compile from the source.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Which distro & what rom?

I use Manjaro Linux and schroot into Ubuntu 12.04 for compiling -- its the best of both worlds -- a fully up-to-date modern Linux distro with an environment recommended for building android. Using just Ubuntu 12.04/Mint 13 kinda sucks cause its a bit outdated -- Old versions of apps, desktop environments (Gnome, XFCE, KDE, etc). Since I've been doing it for a while now, I gotta recommend the modern Linux/schroot for android way. So far the only downside is a 20 minute increase in compile time (probably due to my 3GB ram more than anything), but the benefit of having an up to date desktop for everything else is worth it.

I'll admit that I cheated a bit. I was dual booting Manjaro and Ubuntu 12.04 until I just said screw it and setup the schroot. Normally with an schroot setup, the other environment is setup from a basic command line environment and if you copy/paste the apt-get commands from the various guides around you'll be missing necessary files (those guides are written assuming you're doing it from an actual desktop install which includes a lot more files than the bare minimum command line only install). I've done schroot environments both ways and using my dual boot OS as my schroot has worked better (only problem is the GUI is broke if I try to boot into Ubuntu now, but apt-get update and upgrade work, from boot and schroot, and that's the only reason I'd actually boot into now anyways).
[Motorola Atrix HD] chococomaxim:
I have Linux mint 15 and going to use a cm build
[Motorola Atrix HD] chococomaxim:
Should I stay where I'm at or do something similar to what you are doing
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
You shouldn't have to do much more than search xda for an Ubuntu 13.04 guide (I think Mint 15 is Ubuntu 13.04). From there its pretty much

make a directory for the source, open a terminal, cd to the created directory

repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.2

add the codebox below to a new file named roomservice.xml

repo sync

-. vendor/cm/get-prebuilts

. build/env-setup.sh

brunch mb886

To update and build a new rom

make a copy of the last compiled rom if necessary (located at out/product/mb886)

open terminal at source directory

make clean

do everything from repo sync to brunch

Everything in italics is terminal commands

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_mb886" path="device/motorola/mb886" remote="github" revision="cm-10.2" />

<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_motorola" path="vendor/motorola" remote="github" revision="cm-10.2" />
</manifest>

Lots of the guides suggest using CCACHE, but I gotta recommend NOT using it. In the past I did use it, but sometimes builds would have random errors, FC's, and whatnot, and builds using the same sources (no repo sync) with CCACHE disabled didn't have the random bugs. Ccache might speed up the 2nd build and on, but risking random bugs isn't worth the small speed up IMHO.

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

If you're happy with Mint 15, then stay with it. You might run into some Python2/3 issues, but the rest of it should work fine. "repo" doesn't like Python 3 and doesn't like being initialized with 3 and syncing with 2 and vice-a-versa. Luckily, the OpenJDK/Java7 patches are included in the CM repos now, so the BS of installing Java6 isn't here anymore (be glad you don't have to deal with it).

If you're having a difficult time using an updated Linux as an android build environment, then consider using the schroot way. IMO, its worth at least to try to compile on your current system -- only go the schroot or dual boot if your current system doesn't like android compiling.
[Motorola Atrix HD] penser:
I'm also going to get a Linux install up (Debian 7.10), and probably going to start building/compiling, and will very likely run into issues. Would there be any extra packages I would need besides that giant list in every build guide to get it working right? Would there be issues like there would be trying to build with 13.04? I know Ubuntu is what everyone uses for compiling, but I'd rather be at the base of everything.

Also, incase there are big issues, how would we go about setting up a schroot?
[Motorola Atrix HD] chococomaxim:
i found this link from the CM wiki http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_mb886 and i was wondering what would be the different because it has totally different commands than what you provided. is it because this the wiki guide is 10.1 and the one you had was 10.2?
[Motorola Atrix HD] penser:
I believe it's all the same, except when you get to the repo init, change cm-10.1 to cm-10.2.

Hello, so few days ago I bought a new phone, Gigabyte Gsmart Aku A1, and I've seen a lot of bloat in it and some SystemUI bugs (No lockscreen shortcuts in settings). So I was wondering how do I root this phone? I can't find anything about this phone, since it launched recently.

EDIT: Nevermind, I used MTK 6598 Root tutorial and it worked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakaluar:
Please, can you tell something about this phone? Does it lag? Build quality? Screen... itc.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiplive:
Well, it's powered by one of the fastest MediaTek chips, MTK 6598, it has Quad-core Cortex A5 clocked at 1.2 GHz, so far I've never encountered any lag, I can even play GTA 3 maxed out. Build quality is very good too, it's quite heavy which gives the phone a feel that if it drops it won't fall apart like Galaxy S3 or those thin, light smartphones. The display resolution is good, and the touch is good, but the viewing angles are pretty bad (the horizontal ones are just fine, but the vertical has ultimate color-shifts. Battery is good, I can last about 2 - 3 days, depending on usage. The only disappointing about the phone is the camera, well it has good focus and not that much noise than on my previous Xperia U phone, it lacks colors, they're very cold. But if you want to take pictures just buy a camera and be happy with it. So overall for the price (Got it for 190$) it's the #1 price to performance phone. It's much better than my Xperia U which lagged a lot, now there's 0 lag.

When Comcast was down for a few days, I used easy tether pro (great for tethering one device, always works, even without root) and bridged the connection to my wireless card in my laptop. This allowed Internet on the laptop and whatever else I needed in the house. Only problem is you gotta have the laptop on at all times.
