Thank you. Oh ok, I didn't know that :D

I actually know those methods, but with the second one what script do you mean, or just a partition flash script in general?

So I downloaded one of your zips and found this.

assert(package_extract_file("modem.bin", "/tmp/modem.bin"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/modem.bin", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2"),
delete("/tmp/modem.bin"));

That's amazingly easy! Wow! Never knew this was so easy to do, I thought a special flashing binary would be needed.

Thanks a lot for this tip! It's great

And yes I mean do not ever use hexeditor if you don't know what you're doing :good:

I still can't get a modem flash to work in recovery. (I happen to be using Philz)

I use the Modem tar files in djembey's thread.

I open the modem.tar file, and 7zip says tar error: there is no correct record at the end of archive

It opens regardless, so I extract modem.bin

I then place the modem.bin in a typical cwm-flashable zip file, which includes updater-script as above post, ie:

assert(package_extract_file("modem.bin", "/tmp/modem.bin"),

write_raw_image("/tmp/modem.bin", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2"),

delete("/tmp/modem.bin"));

However, the script hangs, and I have to long-press the power button in recovery to reboot.

Is the modem.bin incorrect from the original extraction via 7Zip perhaps? (Although the .tar file from which I extracted modem.bin flashes successfully in Odin by the way.)

Any ideas appreciated.

:)
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Surge1223:
Actually this is kind of a known issue. I believe some have found a work around with Philz. [MENTION=4211058]Bait-Fish[/MENTION] what was it that you guys do to flash modems with Philz?
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] hawkerpaul:
I would be extremely interested and appreciative to find this out

:good:

EDIT:

Just tried a flash through TWRP, and no joy, so this is not specific to Philz.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Surge1223:
Im able to flash modems quite easily hmm... can you send me the modem zip package you are trying to flash so I can take a look at it?

P.S. This dev talk forum is finally starting to be useful again!
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] hawkerpaul:
Yes no problem.

I've heard that some of the other variants can flash ok. Do you have a GT-i9505 (jfltexx)? I've been googling this for days, and everywhere insists that its impossible to flash to either of the 2 modem partitions on this device.

I've tried with a write_raw_image in updater-script, and a dd in a shell, and the commands just hang indefinitely.

This happens in PhilZ and TWRP.

[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] garwynn:
Here's what I have found on modems and Odin:

Though I cannot figure out how they are doing it Samsung seems to be making a sparse FAT image where the zeros are compressed out. Now it was mentioned that you could do this manually and I would be honestly wary of that - there has to be some sort of program for them to pull this off as much as they are.

It's much like in theory an unsparsed ext4 image should be flashable in Odin since the partition size matches the image, yet in practice it fails. I don't have the understanding as to why that is, only that it happens based on observations.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Surge1223:
I have a Verizon S4, doesnt it seem weird that of all variants and carriers that the Verizon S4 would allow you to do this? Usually we're way more restricted. Ill take a closer look today with IDA and see whats going on with these modems. HLOS might be harder to analyze though being that the hexagon part is incorporated into the HLOS.

Also as for the padded zeroes, I have been trimming them for a while so ive noticed there is a pattern that helps you easily determine where to trim at, but it varies for different carriers and partitions. I have to do this for developer edition modems because they dont have official Odin tars (Samsung doesnt release firmware for developer edition devices)
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] gigilie:
i've used your .zip installs and just thrown the .bins in from different carriers like at&t and tmobile and flashed them with great success on different phones. ive also taken 1905 modems and flashed to our verizons works fine technically was just doing this to see if I could boot into a 4.4 through safestrap but even on mdk's your able to flash any modem. or even parts of the modem package just my experience
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diddeldaddeldu:
Hello,

I installed [ROM][JB 4.3] [ KatKiss-4.3 #018 ] [Stable] and cant get cifs mounting working.

Maybe I got something wrong but I thought cifs is natively supported by this rom and its kernel and I dont need modules to load.

Is it like that or am I really wrong?

I know that cifs is not working with cifs manager apps like mount manager or cifs manager but it should work on the console.

What do I have to do to get this working at least on the console?

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Hi diddeldaddeldu,

You got some solution to this? I am in the same situation bu in KatKiss 4.2. When I mount the share by Linux it works perfectly. When I do the same at Android, It show a "Key has expired" messages... I don't know if the cifs module are really at the kernel.

you know, I think you have to go through a series of replacements and tech support calls before that will happen. Their excuse is that's what the 14 days are for and the G'nex had documented faulty radios so the tech support had that offer as an option for people with Gnex phones that had issues.

Yeah the best hing to do is a full wipe. You will keep all your data stored on the SD CARD but you will lose your apps. If you want to be able to restore your apps after flashing your New rom I suggest you back them up with apps like titanium backup or carbon BEFORE you do a full wipe
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EvanWasHere:
This one is difficult for me.. And I have no idea how to solve it

I left the company where I've worked for 7 years. I have all my personal contacts synced to my former company's Exchange account. That account has since been locked, but my phone still retains all the contacts.

How do I move these Exchange account contacts to a specific contact list in Gmail (or another account)? When I try to do a backup of the phone, I can't find any backup program that lets me backup just my Exchange contacts.. instead. it tries to backup the 3,000 gmail "other" contacts as well, which is just a huge mess and what I don't want to retain or backup. I just want the Exchange contacts backed up.

BTW.. i also have the contacts synced on my ipad, so if u know of an IOS way to do this, I can do it on there.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gizmotn76:
I just converted from stock to 10.1 8/12 and seem to have run into a little hiccup. Most things work well but for some reason the latest playstore version of swiftkey tablet isn't functioning well. Sometimes it will come up for a couple of characters and then close and not come back up. Others it won't come up at all. I've tried uninstalling it, reinstalling it, etc. but I can't seem to make it happy. I've got the same version of swiftkey running on my nook that's converted to cyanogenmod 10.1 and it runs without issue so it seems to be something specific to this device. The stock keyboard works but after using swiftkey for years it's a pretty crappy experience in comparison. The tablet is pretty much a stock 10.1 install so I'm not really sure where things could have gone off the rails.

Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brotbuexe:
Same problem here. Already opened a case with SwiftKey support. No solution yet.

Interesting, the trial version is working.

---------- Post added at 05:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 AM ----------

I just checked the issue again and found the problem.

Logcat:

08-27 05:05:57.739 D/dalvikvm(12232): Trying to load lib /mnt/asec/com.touchtype.swiftkey.tablet.full-1/lib/libswiftkeysdk-java-internal.so 0x420aaa28

Interesting. Looks like the Swiftkey is getting installed on sdcard. The trial version is getting installed on /data/app and is working.

Now I just moved the app to /data/app by backup/restore within Titanium backup.

Now its working.

---------- Post added at 05:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 AM ----------

On my Note the phone version is installed on /mnt/asec too but its working.

Difference in how asec is mounting:

fire cm 10.1:

/dev/block/dm-29 /mnt/asec/com.vito.lux-2 ext4 ro,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1 0 0

note cm 10.1

/dev/block/dm-35 /mnt/asec/com.team17.ab-1 ext4 ro,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user_xattr,barrier=1 0 0

Don't know if it could be the missing user_xattr but I doubt it.

Other apps that have libs works on asec.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brotbuexe:
Okay, something looks wrong with the asec.

I just found another app that only works after moved to /data/app.

It is Osmos HD.

Could be other apps and games too. Games will often be installed on "sdcard".

As far as I understand, in this ROM we don't have a second internal storage like we have on the Note.

Because all is in one big storage we should not need this asec crap in the first place:

Fire

Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/data 13G 11.3G 1.7G 4096

Note

Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/data 2G 1.6G 368.4M 4096

The real question is, why get apps installed on this asec? As far as I know a app could request to be installed on external storage. When this android_secure feature first showed up, there was a option to force apps to get installed on the sdcard. But we can force it the other way too:

In a adb shell (as root):

pm get-install-location

This should show 0 which is auto.

pm set-install-location 1

This set package manager to force all apps to install on /data/.

Looks like this does not work. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Osmos HD from the Play Store and it still gets installed on asec. I'll post a info about this thread in the rom discussion thread, hope we get a solution for this.

Now whats with already installed apps?

On the Note we could manually move the app back to the internal storage within settings / apps.

This does not work on the Kindle because there is no "sdcard" storage in the first place. So it does not show the buttons. I tried two App2SD Apps from the Play Store, they did not work because they find no "sdcard" too.

For now the best way I found is to look into /mnt/asec and manually backup / restore the app (no uninstall needed and you can restore only the app) inside Titanium Backup. This will move it to the internal storage.

I've attached the logcats of the two apps crashing when started from asec.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brotbuexe:
Not all the apps that where installed on /mnt/asec had this issue but I found more, mostly games:

Worms 2

Perry

Getaway

Tiny Thief

Sonic 1 & 4

NFS most wanted works too. Now that's a game tablet.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gizmotn76:
That was it, you nailed it!

Thanks so much for the help. The native keyboard was driving me crazy but I had no idea what the root issue was. A simple backup and restore with titanium backup fixed the problem completely. I wasn't sure if I would need to explicitly indicate the destination but it figured it out.

Do you think this is something that is a compatibility issue with the app combined with the Roman or an issue with the Rom itself that might get resolved?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gizmotn76:
Sorry rom not Roman, I got a little too SwiftKey happy there. :)
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brotbuexe:
It only affects some apps installed in /mnt/asec, not all.

You can get the package names from the directory names inside /mnt/asec.

With Titaniumbackup you can search with the package name for the Application Display Name.

Then you could just run the app/game and check if it closes itself.

Then try to backup/restore app only and rund the app again.

I had around 20 apps/games in /mnt/asec. Only some games where affected by this issue and didn't start.

Because /mnt/asec is useless for this ROM I moved alle the packages to /data/.

For now when a app is updated from playstore, the updated app is installed in /mnt/asec again...

All games I tried where working after I moved them to /data. Don't know if there is still a game that would not work on the kindle because of some gpu / driver issues (aside of games for special chipsets).

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0d:
I think I did something silly!

From the UK. I rooted my phone a while back after my friend told me all about it. I used the Nexus Toolkit V2.0.0

I am selling the phone and needed to go back to stock. So I flashed stock android 4.2.2. back successfully.

Then I saw this option saying Unroot on the toolkit (Option 4 the Option 5 (Unroot, uninstall Busybox + CMN recovery)), So I did that without thinking and now when I boot the phone it gets stuck on the Nexus X loading screen. When I turn it off it just starts up again and goes back into the Nexus X loading screen.

What do I do? Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
ask the toolkit developer.

the right way to do it(unroot and go back to stock) is to not use a toolkit, but to flash the factory via fastboot.

I explain my problem: last night my Xperia z will not load whether or wall outlet connected to a USB (2.0/3.0) Port

Before this, I did a restore of my stock rom (the audio mod Ac! D audio engine) and flashed the audio mod Zeroinfinty SUPER LOUD VERSION FOR XPERIA Z

Being a bully, I did a reset of the phone, the latter being completely blank now I still will not load

For information phone can:

-load if it is off but charging stops if I turn back (very slowly for 3 hours 20%), the LED is red, and the phone displays a low battery icon (a small red bar without flash)

-is not detected at all (USB can start it but not fastboot flash mod)

it can start quite normally if it has the bare minimum battery

-had the TWM recovery and 10.3.1.A.0.244 Version (unbrunded)

My question is: The phone he bricked? Or an hardware failure?

I've tried a few different ROMs on the DNA, and so far only some of them have the stock tethering enabled. I think that the "provisioning check" on the DNA is done differently than other phones I've had, as I could enable tethering by using a SQL editor and changing a single value to make the phone think tethering had been activated by Verizon.

That being said, I tried the same thing and couldn't find the correct value to change, and I don't wanna mess up my phone, so I've resorted to FoxFi when it's not enabled in the ROM. FoxFi is nice because it sets up a VPN to trick your phone into thinking it's just connecting to a VPS instead of tethering through Verizon's data plan. Works great for me!

Sup all?

Not much info on here for what I'm about to ask. So here we go..

I'd like to upgrade to the S4 from my beloved S3 for the faster data speeds, for online gaming. I was going to do the $0 down deal on tmobile.com yesterday but read about an LTE-Advanced capable s4 that was released in S.Korea not too long ago.

From what I've read, tmobile plans to roll out lte-a technology into their LTE-ready towers by year end. So if this is true, wouldn't it make sense that this lte-a version of the s4 would come to T-Mobile?

When I bought my current s3 (t999) at release, a short time later, the lte version comes out (t999L). When I bought my Samsung vibrant 2 years ago, a short time afterwards the "4g" version comes out as well. Samsung/tmobile seems to like playing this little game.

So I'm just curious on you guys thoughts on this. Buy the current s4 now or wait till the possible lte-a version comes to U.S. carriers?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] thedrmonkey:
From what your second link says; it looks like LTE-A won't be a big priority and will probably be in a "testing" phase for awhile just like LTE was when they made that move. They'll put it in one specific city or area and test to see how well it does (it's what they've done in the past as well). More than likely they won't bring the S4 LTE-A over and just wait till more and more phones corporations start using it. They aren't going to focus solely on upgrading something they are still in the process of upgrading just for one phone...it's a stupid illogical move. Also who's to say that chipsets used in phones here will be able to support LTE-A (same reason the first S3 didn't have LTE).

You could jump in on the the $0 down now and get in on the JUMP! program so later you can just upgrade to the new phone if they do bring it.
