There are no instructions(that are of any use to verizon users that is). There likely will not be a FULL sure fire guide ever posted. But yes, 9505 roms can be ported over. My GE port is from 9505, BluKuban from Sprint, AOSP4.3 from 9505, PAC4.3 from 9505, and MIUIv5 from 9505. And none of them were the exact same process each time.

If you really want to get into porting and such Download the stock rom, download the one you want to port. Compare and contrast.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gleggie:
Idk if i'm at that level yet lol, but thanks for the info i'll check out your ROMs!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AxAtAx:
You should be able to run all of the i9505 roms also, just make sure after you flash the rom, you flash your loki kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Yes, you can install anything as long as it's loki'd but that won't give you a fully functioning phone. But it will allow you to boot it up, play around with it, and if you are lucky get voice calls and wifi, absolutely won't get data without doing more work to the guts.

The majority of people want their phone to function as planned. And for those people a half broken rom is not suitable.

I have tried my best finding in forums etc and i have tried flashing any stock roms with Odin, factory reset, delete cache etc. i still get no luck on recovering my phone everything works fine expect for my internal storage with 0bytes :( (ihave dump a logcat text file) hope this helps :( i have tried flashing a pit file too :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunglebp:
Have you tried format internal memory? eg from Settings in phone or in CWM recovery? Id recommend doing it from CWM personally ;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heartkeeper9:
Yeah Tired formatting no luck :( i guess my phone is good as dead

if no one could solve this :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunglebp:

try flashing a stock ROM with Odin and using .PIT file for re-partitioning .....however ssh somebody mentioned the n7105 don't come or have .pit files anymore...I'm not sure..do the research and see...cause pit files tell the Odin how to format and layout the phone during the flashing process..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heartkeeper9:
i tired odin and flash a stock rom and it still didn't work :(

I have found a pit file (i guess) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2137008 so how do i use pit files with odin? :confused:

More info: Once i plug in my note 2 on a pc i cant transfer files to my external sd card it will just hang at transfering.

The strange thing is when am on my phone i go to | settings > Storage |my total space is 0.0b |Application 598mb| and when i hold my home button and i go to storage it shows my |system storage 817mb/10.22gb | sd card 4.72gb/7.41gb|

I remember before i had this problem i went to odin and i press nand erase all and a stock rom and flash them together and once i on my phone i cant pass through samsung logo and i when to samsung recovery( i hold the power button, home button and vol up button) and i went to press wipe data/factory reset and once i press reboot system now i got this error with no signal and internal storage 0.0 ... once i got this i panic and i went to flash wanamlite rom and i got my signal back and when i flash back a normal stock rom my signal will be lost again..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dead soul:
whenever you mess up your phone badly it's wise to go back to stock rather than flashing other ROMs cause other ROMs will be subjected to a messed up environment as they are generic and thus may complicate things further...Samsung ROMs on the other hand when used with.pit files can 're format / re partition the phone in a standard format.

answering your question on the pit file issue.... download Odin v 1.87 not the newer versions as sometimes they cause issues unless this version fails... put the .pit file in the pit section of Odin, place your stock ROM on the PDA section of Odin, you can add a csc as well I think it's related with regional settings of some sort..Google it I'm not sure but it's not very necessary, you can add a modem in the modem section also tick RE-PARTITION and tick reboot after Odin completes. however I'm just warning you...these are risky procedures proceed at your own risk

---------- Post added at 07:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 AM ----------

oh forgot... then you need to put your phone in download mode....and start flashing.....
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heartkeeper9:
Alright.. i change it to other ROMS because i need to have the signal i didnt know it would cause problem :crying: ===Testing it Right now===

Didn't work :( my phone internal storage is still at 0.0 with no signal unknown imei
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pappschlumpf:
I've the same problem ! No IMEI, no baseband, no internal memory (sdcard). Only the external one is accesible. Over USB i can not copy any file to external sd and internal sd shows -104857600 Bytes.

Hi, does anybody know of an Xperia Z dock that has embedded speakers?

With data transfer to PC as well would be a super plus.

Can't seem to find anything on eBay :/

Thanks.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
I guess it is not phisically posible to sync the Z via dock due to the USB port being covered.

The same can be said about audio out.

Unless it is a complex NFC+Bluetooth+Wifi combination.

Charging port does not carry data. It is for electricity only.

Z Ultra is a whole different story though, charging port provides sync.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yabiraad:
Indeed, come to think of it...

The speaker quality is too low on the Z probably due to being waterproof.

That means that i'm better off buying a wireless speaker :( anything recommended?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0p3r4t0r:
I think so too.

The Z is no Soundmaschine but search for a Bluetooth Soundbox. I know its not a dockingstation but works also and easily

It's not out yet but It looks like it'll be pretty interesting when it does.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] scott14719:
Looks nice, but I have to remain skeptical about this one.

I've used Jawbone Bluetooth headsets before that used bone conductivity technology and was not impressed. And those Jawbone units were built larger and had an actual earpiece to help keep it in place. Twisting it constantly won't be good for it either. Sometimes with Bluetooth earpieces smaller isn't always better. Maybe it will work well, but I can't see how.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] DraconicSeed:
I think the message when you receive a text scrolling across it in ring form is one of the neatest features.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] scott14719:
Definitely neat. I don't know how easy it would be to read on a ring though. I am thinking about getting one of the watches that will do similar (not a Bluetooth ear piece though) but I think it would be easier to read on a watch. I am going to let them iron the wrinkles out of the watches before a seriously look at them. The ring idea has potential, but it will be interesting to see how it works in a real world setting.

In the past month or so the audio quality has gone bad in my phone when using earphones. Music is one of my main uses for my phone

Originally I thought the drivers were dying in my earphones to I returned them to the shop, but when I got a new pair they were still bad ($50 earphones should be decent). Then I tried my phone with some speakers and the sound quality was actually better out of the phone's loudspeaker. I even tried my friend's $200 headphones and the quality was still terrible.

I'm on Perseus Kernel and I tried going back to stock kernel but the phone said no SIM card until I put perseus back on.

Any ideas guys?

Someone found the backgrounds here: https://clients3.google.com/cast/chromecast/home

So here's an idea, setup local DNS to route that domain to a local machine running an HTTP server, then put up your own page. The idea is to have your own backgrounds. Any idea if this would work?
[Google Chromecast] jsdecker10:
That sounds like it would work. I don't know much about all that stuff, but it sounds like it's possible..

[Google Chromecast] jam10238:
I believe this could work, however the only option that Im aware of is to redirect the entire clients3.google.com domain to a local IP via local DNS. However, I dont think anyone knows what else is being hosted by clients3.google.com, so while this may work for your backgrounds, it could cause issues with other Chromecast or Google functions....

If anyone is aware of alternate method to redirect a specific web application on a LAN, then let me know and Ill set this up ASAP and report back.

-Jeff
[Google Chromecast] superm1:
I think it could be accomplished by mucking with DNS and then setting up a forwarding proxy server and web server. On the web server host all of those 11 backgrounds. On the proxy server have it fetch first from that web server and if it failed forward to the real DNS address for that server.

They're all at https://www.gstatic.com/cast/images/home/ so you would think it shouldn't be too hard.

put the device in the cradle with active sync on (dont worry of any message that comes on the PC),

double click on the ROM update file

Do the process again.

It will work now!!!

[General Questions and Answers] Gbcue:
So, apparently my Chromecast was sent to the wrong post office (WA, I'm in CA) and was promptly lost as of 7/31. I ordered on release day and got the Netflix free trial e-mail when it was shipped, though.

In hopes of getting a refund, I've contacted Play Support via e-mail on 8/4, 8/7, 8/10. I have called telephone support on 8/6, 8/10, and 8/12 - all with no refund or resolution.

All calls have stated the same thing as the e-mails, that the issue will be passed to a specialist for "investigation". They say it takes 24-48 hours to do an investigation. As you can see, it takes much longer. It has almost been a month with no product.

Does anybody know some higher-ups within Google Play Support that can help me get a refund?

I'm thinking of just doing a chargeback but I don't want to screw up my Google Wallet account.

Thanks!

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verygreen:
I see there was excellent work done by others to determine pinout for Nook Color/Tablet connector.

Now it would be great if we can get somebody to do the same for Nook HDs.

Additionally I really-really need a serial port out of the new Nooks for my kernel experiments (hopefully there's a serial in the big connector, but even if not, and somebody can help me to just solder wires somewhere on the pcb to gain serial, that would be great).

Please hit your hardware techie friends for me if you have any ;)

If there is a serious person interested in this with no Nook to play, please contact me and I'll arrange for something.

(I already researched the Nook Color way of getting serial via twl on usb connector, but the newer twl in the newer Nooks does not have this car kit mode).
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emottau:
I'm surprised no one has done this yet. I read somewhere that b&n simply modified an iPod connector and often times I've found that means they simply changed the order of the wires in order to gain propriety and therefore extra revenue. I have Two hd+ sitting on my desk with no charge because I'm too cheap to pay 30 bucks for a cable from b&n. I also have one charging cable cut in half so maybe I'll get on this myself, not that I can really take on another project at the moment.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubidu:
The standard USB cable that came with the Nook only has 4 pins inside (going to the nook), so even if you cut your cable I don't think you will find anything useful.

I'm not sure about the HDMI one, it should have some extra pins inside to enable the video output, but I think that, without finding a compatible male plug with all the pins intact, it will be quite hard to find out the purpose of each pin.

Someone brave can do it on the nook side but I haven't open mine yet ;)

But I don't know is it possible to switch Nook usb subsystem to usb host early at boot.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verygreen:
No, and by the time usb is up it's way too late in the booting game.

The big benefit of a real serial out is you get the output from bootloader and then transitioning into kernel including very early booting.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimcisme:
The nook end of the cable has only six pins. Two top and bottom on one side and one top and bottom on the other side. It would be easy to see what they connect to on the USB side. I'm definitely not an electronics engineer so I'm wondering if that is what is being discussed here and how that would do us any good? I would like to diy a car charger if I can.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octachoron:
pinout

I opened my Nook HD+, and there is a test point near the dock connector labeled usb-id. If this TP is shorted to GND with a slave USB device attached thru a USB-A to A gender bender, the Nook acts as host as expected per USB-OTG standard. This TP maps to pin 24. Unfortunately, this isn't one of the pins to a Nook HD+ USB cable.

The Nook HD+'s motherboard is labeled EXCELLENTLY. I've gotten most of the pins I can get easily. I think the remaining pins are for HDMI (which makes sense seeing B&N makes an HDMI adapter cable...). The HDMI adapter cable will probably get the remaining pins.

Here's the pinout I've got so far:

Also, there are two test points, SDA2-TX and SCL2-RX. These are I2C test points but I can't tell if they are the HDMI side or the system side. The HDMI chip is the TI TPD12s015, datasheet can be googled. Just a hunch that these are the HDMI side, since the datasheet says SDA_B and SCL_B are HDMI side, and they're labeled as SDA2 and SCL2.

connector type

Also, the Nook HD+ connector is NOT the same design as an Apple Dock Connector. The Apple connector has all the pins on one side of the internal fitting, while the Nook's connector has the pins on both sides.

So anyone attempting to mod their own connector should use a Nook connector.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octachoron:
Nope, not a PDMI...

No, from what I can tell, a PDMI connector is very similar to a Apple Dock Connector, with different pinouts assigned. The Nook HD+ has a unique connector layout from what I can tell.

It's similar to this:

...1...3...5...

...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|..|...|...|

.+-v---v---v---v---v---v---v---v---v---v---v---v---v---v---v---+

.....2...4...6...

The Apple and Samsung have all pins on one side only, at double the density.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verygreen:
Thanks!

the TX one is the serial out, I got Adam Outler here at ABBQ to solder into it and I got the console out. Sadly it's not mapped anywhere in the connector, but at least I got my serial out now. We are less sure about the RX one, but I'll try it out once I get back home on Sunday.

Big thanks to Adam too!

TX & RX

This is just a guess, but would not TX = transmit & RX = Recieve ?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verygreen:
Yes.

So TX definitely transmits the console output, we see it.

But tryign to input stuff onto RX pin does not result in anything visible, so that's why we are less sure if that's the input into the serial console.

But even if not, the console output is the more important one anyway for my kernel debugging plans.
