Hello all !!

I've found some interesting things .

I've read all posts about magician bigstorage rom and it appears that the config of storage size is coded on two location in rom .

One of this location is , like buzz think , in nk.exe :

in red , #B801h is the size of BigStorage , like this :

code B8 01 = 01 B8 00 00 = 27.5 Mb

I've extracted the nk.exe file of the french wm2005 rom with help of itsme's utils , and i've search bytes like 74F4h (sectors) or EA0000h (size) (thank's buzz) .

However, I’ve a question to buzz :

You say the storage partition (FAT1) have 29940 sectors (#74F4h) but if I divide #EA0000h (the size) with 512 , that’s #7500h sectors ….

I've found this :

in red , maybe the number of sectors ?

in blue , maybe the size ? (like in magician rom)

code EA 00 = 00 EA 00 00 = 14.625 Mb

Who knows ....

I've search the same bytes in sd backuped rom and there is only two location , ( like in magician rom :) ) at offset #1423D8h and #3C138Ah

I've tried to change 74F4h in F4F4h , EA00h in EA01h (like coded in magician's rom) , but without success .

DOC in himalaya is managed with TrueFFS.dll , but we can't extract it at this time ... I think this dll is the key of problem .
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pyrofer:
I posted about this to Buzz a while back.

I read up on the DOC chip and it has an internal partitioning structure.

You setup the partition table in the DOC itself, and it handles all the wear levelling etc within the partitions.

You can download the TrueFFS.dll source i think from the site, and get all the info you need to compile a tool to do the partitioning from within wm2k5 itself. If you can just make the dinfo tool to read the existing partition structure from the DOC it would help LOTS! maybe email the company and see if there is a compiled wince dinfo already.

it may be that its hard partitioned in the DOC, AND the partitions are referred to directly within the OS, so you would have to edit the OS rom AND repartition the DOC. not a nice task.

Just guessing though, somebody smarter than me will have to confirm.

TofClock> "DOC in Himalaya is managed with TrueFFS.dll , but we can't extract it at this time ... "

You mean the attached .dll file?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TofClock:
Whjere do you get this file ??

In a wm2005 rom ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pyrofer:
If you go to the Msystems website and look up the DOC used, there are many downloads including source code and drivers for the device.

I just downloaded this from their site, somebody who is a better programmer than me needs to look at the msystems site and get the right code to compile the DOC tools for WINCE.

When we have the dinfo tool we can see for sure if its formatted inside the DOC like I think it is.

Prrofer, TofClock:

This looks like really good stuff, are you guys in contact with Buzz about this, (I know he was also looking into merging Storage and Ext_ROM as well for WM5 1.6xx).

On the buzzdev.net site the "Disk-On-Chip Partition" is under constrution so I hope someone is tieing all the minds together. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] buzz_lightyear:
hey guys, you ROCK!

keep it alive and don't let it die!

I will post my findings tomorrow...

meanwhile I have to go shopping... ;o)

keep it up!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TofClock:
he he he buzz .... :))
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] buzz_lightyear:
Yeah ;o) i took that code and passed it to WinHEx...

Here's the output.. looks like part of ROM... Note the ECEC signature at the beginning..

Open it in WinHex preferably....

buzz
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] buzz_lightyear:
That's true... but i dont know, why the fat headers are completely ignored by the OS.... It is strange.

buzz
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] madkat:
Maybe the other 12 (#0Ch) are used for something else?

12 = 8 + 3 + 1 = A filename & a byte

Title says it all, I'm looking for an insecure boot image for Android 4.3
[Nexus 4 General] ziddey:
Wrong section. Most custom kernels are "insecure" (rather it resides in a ramdisk setting)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downuno:
Why is Android OS consuming so much data? The only thing I can thing of is YouTube because I've watched some hd YouTube videos on mobile data for a few videos, but under Data usage, it says YouTube used only 6.71 megabytes of data, I'd expect it to be a bit higher than a few megabytes but I don't think I watched .5+ gb worth of youtube.

I wanted to post screenshots but I can't because I'm a "new" user, even though I've been a member for nearly 3 years. Anyway, I'll explain it: When I click 'Android OS' to get more details, it says all of it is background data. absolutely none of it is foreground. The button for 'view app settings' is unclickable.

I went to China recently and I'm worried that when I used the wifi in a hotel there, they might have secretly installed spyware on my phone, I wonder if this data is the spyware sending data to its servers. I have read news articles about this happening to laptops, so I am concerned.

Keen to read your replies. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Could it be software update? Or possibly Google syncing, like Picasa which syncs your photos or app data.

Go to settings / accounts / and click on your Google account and see what syncs you have on. Maybe try turning some of them off.

While your there check what other syncs you have on, like Samsung account.

Maybe not the problem but still a good place to start. When I first got mine I noticed a heap of data being used and it was Picasa.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BilboSwaggins:
Downloads from the Play Store also come under Android System (well, they seem to for me), and not Play Store.
[General Accessories] cubbieswin:
I'm trying to find some OEM micro USB cables from either HTC or HP. I've bought cables before from Monoprice, ebay, etc but I find the thicker cables too heavy for the micro USB jack. I think the weight of the cable can ruin the micro USB jack.

I've searched quite a bit and everything either seems to be the cheap thick cables and/or a misrepresentation of what they are selling.

Does anyone know of a seller that sells OEM cables at a fair price?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmedina:
Hi guys...... I just want to know your reasons why didn't you upgrade to the new nexus 7.

For me, i dont think i need to upgrade because mine still working better using PA w/ faux kernel in it. I had issues before with screen flickerin, auto turn off when battery reaches down to 32%, slow charging...but it's all fixed now. Found a lot of ways solve the problem. Lagfix works better for me so i dont have any problems with lag.

Im also happy using OTG for sharing photos from my sony nex-5n camera. So i think i dont need a camera on a tablet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlowCobra96:
4.3 fixed the trim issue so nobody should have lag issues. I, like you, don't feel the need to upgrade. Mine does everything I need/want it to do. Sure I like nice new shiny toys but just can't justify $250ish, give or take a little depending on size, for something that performs all the same functions as last year's model.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaneAR:
I will upgrade at some point, but I'm not in a rush. Two reasons for that:

1) This isn't an essential device for me. Just a casual "toy" that's great to have. I still live and die by my desktop and I'll probably never fully fit into the mobile world (Still refuse to own a phone).

2) For reasons I can't explain...maybe the upgrade to 4.3 or the fact I added another router in my house that gets a strong signal to my N7, or both, this device is working smoother and faster than it EVER has. Browsing the net, in particular, is comparable to my desktop experience now. Bottom line: everything is fast and lag free.

So, yeah, I'd like to have the new one, but with my 1st gen working so well I can't justify the cost as it's not an essential piece of tech for me...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Well... I don't think it's available here in the UK until August 28. Or at least according to Wikipedia it isn't.

And even then I don't think I'll buy it... already spent more money on tech and software this year than I should have:(.

I'll probably wait, until the run up to Christmas, when local stores will be vying for competition... and as a result there'll be some cost cutting. Not by much I grant, but £10 or £20 shaved off the RRP sounds good to me:).

Also, I'm never a huge fan of immediately buying tech just when it's been released - it usually comes with a cornucopia of bugs, hardware defects and other unpleasant idiosyncrasies. Give it five or six months, and those wrinkles will likely have been ironed out.

And in any case, 4.3 is running sweetly on my current Nexus 7... so much so, in fact, that I doubt I'll ever bother with Custom ROMs/Kernels.

I'm a man of simple tastes... Root, Nova Launcher and AOSP browser is all I really need. (+ some core apps). :cool:

Rgrds,

Ged.

I'm not upgrading because this one is still working and I have to save money to buy furniture and baby clothes. :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Remcotjuuh:
Not upgrading because my Nexus 7 still works like a charm, being able to do anything I could wish and because I simply don't have the money/don't want to spend it on it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alan sh:
Now I've got a fast rom and kernel and am running 4.3, I can't see the need.

I'd like the better screen, but I'll wait until all the issues are resolved before I look again.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebel1699:
Multirom is not yet available on N7 2013. I couldnt go to a tablet without a multiboot solution anymore. The ability to run 4.2.2 roms, 4.3 roms and Ubuntu desktop for n7 all at the same time has allowed me to be desktop and laptop free.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmason37:
Cause this one still works and still gets updates.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimebagdan65:
I'm waiting just in case they do the same thing they did last year and drop the lower end model and introduce a higher capacity one at the same price point. I was furious after buying a 16gb model in 2012 for $250 only to have them release a 32gb model for the same price a few months later! I'll gladly wait for a possible 64gb at $269 or even $299. If it hasn't happened by the time the Nexus 5 (or whatever they're gonna call it) drops this fall then I'll feel safer buying it (after I get my hands on the next Nexus phone of course...!). The good thing is, I already have a handful of people that want to buy my old one from me just cause they know it's already pimped and will include tech support (from me lol)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezas:
I've got 4.3, one of the main reasons I would upgrade. And my needs are very simple. Mostly forum reading aps, like this one. News, Wikipedia, the occasional web search, and YouTube.

The first gen handles that with ease. My 5" Phablet handles everything else.

So i will wait and see what is new in the future at this size.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] käsebr0t:
Our Nexus 7 has the newest Android version and has still a very fast cpu and gpu. I don't see any reason for spending 250€ again for a new device.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vimesUK:
As I live in the UK I can't even see the new model to appreciate just what differences there could be over an above that what I already have got with my 16GB Nexus 7.

But mine seems to be more than adequate to meet my needs.

I do, on occasion, get to use my wife's Xoom and with that being a 10" tablet I do like the screen size difference and I now seem to be more interested in the up and coming replacement for the Nexus 10 rather than this model. However price will be a big influence there.

Having already got a tablet I do not think of the value that they offer as a stand alone device, if that makes sense, but more of what they offer over and above what I have got.

I suppose that goes part way to explain why I'm not too much interested in the 2013 version of the Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purudaya:
I haven't upgraded yet because I remember how it went with the original Nexus 7: I bought one shortly after it came out, then a model with double the storage hit the market for the exact same price and the one I had dropped down.

I'll be waiting for the 32gb model to hit in November for the exact or near same price as the current 16gb model.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n3wDaddy77:
Like others have already said, my current N7 is doing what I need it to just fine! :)

Also, I found that I wouldn't mind having the mobile connectivity when I choose to; so I think I'd only upgrade if they came out with the LTE model in Canada.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwalz:
I don't want to upgrade because of putting out the cash. I like my 1st gen tablet. It works great, fast and does everything I need it to do. Other than the sake of having something new, meh I don't care.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCSUZoSo:
1. I don't care about an increase in pixel density on a 7" screen that much.

2. They didn't go with Tegra 4
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chismay:
just like NCSUZoSo

but more to the fact,, my nexus is great why mess with perfection?

.....then again i could do with an extra gig of ram :D
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I only buy new devices when my old one dies, or is way too outdated to do stuff I wanna do. My original nexus 7 is suffering from neither of these, so I'm good with what I have.

When I figure out how to grow a money tree....then I might upgrade electronics for no reason. ;)

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimebagdan65:
tl:dr summary: you can NOT get these upgrades with any amount of modding/hacking! Upgrade NAOW!

Sold my 2012 for $150USD and only had to pay $140USD to get the new one and holy amazeballs Batman! The 1080p screen is nothing short of breathtaking and double the ram vastly improves multitasking. The narrower side bezels make a device that was already comfortable to hold in one hand feel even more natural. Stereo speakers with surround sound are superb for movies, gaming and music. The notification light is a nice touch and the soft touch back even feels better than the original's faux leather. Seriously, if you can find some poor schlub to buy your old tablet it takes a lot of the sting out of the upgrade and what you're left paying is WELL worth it if you ask me. Even with ALL my apps installed and a few HD movies downloaded I still have over 8gb storage left. I'm gonna stop now cause otherwise I'll never shut up, but suffice it to say the 2013 edition addressed every single issue I had with the 2012 and then some. Happy camper right here!

(no, didn't feel like waiting for the LTE variant as that's what I have a phone for: to tether!)

[HTC One X] serrano4:
Yesterday I flashed CyanogenMod 10.1.2 into my HTC One X endeavoru. Everything was working just fine but today I noticed that my internet connection (the mobile data one) is not working even if my phone does connect to the carrier's network. I have ClockWorkMod recovery 5.8.4.0

I have tried some things like resetting the phone, wiping the Dalvik cache, checking that Mobile Data is turned on everywhere and so. I have not flashed Cyanogen again or made a factory reset yet.

What can I do?

Hope someone can help me. Thanks.
[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
did you fastboot erase cache after flashing the boot image? if so try flashing the boot.img again and fastboot erasing cache after, or flash a different kernel see if that makes a difference
[HTC One X] treebill:
Setting > more > mobile networks > access point names and in for your network.

Have to do that every time I wipe /data

This worked, thanks a lot. I googled my carrier's APN settings. :D
[HTC One X] Joshua Victor:
APNs --> press menu --> reset to default works for me
[HTC One X] serrano4:
Just tried it, I lost the connection. Had to create another APN and restart the device. I believe it also depends on some other factors like the carrier, device, CM version and so on.
