[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samadony:
Hey guys,

So basically a friend of mine was flashing a custom ROM and after a while he noticed that every time he dials he gets this message "You're not registered on a network"..

IMEI displays 00499***

After some research I've done I found out that this can be due to corruption in \efs folder, the good thing is the phone already has 2 files before this mess; which are 1. efsdev-mmcblk0p3.img 2.efsbackup.tar

I've been trying to replace the current folder with the backup one but I've failed, as system folders are read only.

I also tried to change the sim, flashing stock via odin and changing to other roms but nothing, also tried this method via terminal but nothing

su

rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

reboot

Please if anyone know how to use the efs backups I've at least I have to make use of it :(

At least there should be some codes to run and be able to make use of such files.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeitmeister:
Hi,

I would like to connect my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 with Hashcode's CM 10.1 to an ordinary lcd monitor, like connecting a netbook / laptop to a monitor. I tried several monitors (about 5) with different resolutions including 1920x1200 and 1920x1080. Unfortunately, it doesn't work 100%. With 1 HDMI connector, I usually see the CM10.1 screen, but sometimes the screen turns into static for a few seconds, and then shows the 10.1 screen again. Swiping or opening apps also usually comes with some moments of static on the screen. With another Micro HDMI adapter, it doesn't work at all (even directly into HDMI-in).

I use this adapter / converter, see dx.com/p/3-in-1-1080p-hdmi-male-to-vga-female-converter-cable-micro-hdmi-mini-hdmi-to-hdmi-female-adapter-193659

What am I doing wrong here? What are my options?

Cheers, S

PS: Connecting directly from Micro HDMI to HDMI works fine, but of course not all monitors have HDMI-in.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v3ct3ur:
Yeah, same problem, once I plug micro HDMI connector in, my KFHD 8.9 restarts and gets stuck in the CM10.1 screen

Hi Guys,

I wanna share something i found out a while ago.

I am currently holding on to a Motorola HT820 and a BlueAngel and i was kinda playing around with it wondering why i cannot answer phone calls and only can play my MP3's. Here is the solution.

Install the A2DP Profile

Soft Reset

Pair it up to your BT Stereo headset using high quality audio

now, upgrade to build 3900.

Run the restartradio.exe

run the bt upgrade cab file

run the restartradio.exe

Now, pair it up to bluetooth handsfree headset.

This works wonders. It seems to work best on WMP10. I have tried

Mortplayer but, after i answer calls, it stops playing and does not resume.

For WMP10, it resumes fine. I have only tested on BlueAngel and HT820.

I dont have the luxury to get my hands on other devices as yet.

BT upgrade files found here

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Bluetooth_1.0.0.3900_Upgrade

A2DP details found

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rick83:
this currently works best on WMP 10

You can continue listening to music after your call ends with mortplayer,

you have to disconnect the pairing and re-pair again..

Can anyone confirm if this is possiable with an

as having read through numerious threads on the subject of Bluetooth implementation with various Wicomm configurations, but cannot clearly identify that the A2DP Protocol can be successfully made to work on an XDA II.

I suspect that this can only operate on an XDA IIi or XDA IIs. My requirement is to get a set of Motorola HT820 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones to function with my XDA II via Bluetooth, I am not really worried about the Phone Headset function I would just like to hear Audio via Media Player 10.

Does anyone have this working on ht820? Is there a known work around?

Motorola BT820 Audio Gateway and a player

I've followed the steps above and now have the two new profiles and have managed to pair my Motorola BT820's without any problems.

I've read that this works best with WMP10 but since I don't have this I decided to try Mortplayer.

Silly question : How do I get my XDAIIs to send the audio to the headphones ? Their is an outgoing connection between the two but the sound still comes out of the speaker on the XDAIIs.

If a phone call comes in then this is directed up to the BT820's

In this way a HP Bluetooth Headphones and a Motorola HT820 works with my xda IIi in a2dp mode incl. the Buttons in WMP10.

1. remove the RunBT file from the Autostart dir -> softreset

2. Install the PDA2K_BroadcomCorp_BTUpdate.cab -> softreset

http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/handheldiPAQ/us/download/22475.html

3. Install the HP iPAQ Bluetooth Stereo Headphones Driver Update -> softreset

http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/handheldiPAQ/us/download/22475.html

If the error \windows\btceavif.dll in use come, rename it with Resco File Editor and try again the driver update.

4. Put the the RunBT file back to the Autostart.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bliepo:
Hey everyone,

I have a problem with my Xperia P. Sometimes, it randomly starts to do things when the phone is unlocked, even if I am not touching the screen. It seems to register a touch, when there actually isn't any. Because of this, it randomly starts opening apps, scrolling and sometimes even moving widgets (it somehow registers a long touch followed by random scrolling).

I figured it was some sort of software error, so I used the PC companion program to repair my phone (wiping all settings but not the SD card) and for good measure, I reset the phone from the Android menu, also wiping the SD card. Then I reinstalled my apps etc and everything seemed fine, but after about two days the problem was back.

Is this a software bug that more people have, or is it a hardware defect? Also, I read using a third party charge could cause this. I use the official Sony charger of my old Ray, but it is rated to have the same voltage and less mAh, so that can't be it, right?

Android version: 4.1.2 (6.2.A.1.100)

I can't say whether it was after installing a new app. I had the same problem earlier once, but I fixed it by repairing the phone using PC companion. Then there was an OTA (don't remember which, but must have been the last one in NL) and the problem came back. Or at least, that's how it seems, might still be hardware combined with weird timing.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobby janow:
You do know how that sounds, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattevt:
Damn it this is tedious. Does anyone have a list of the folders that are pulled in a system dump. He uploaded the .zip but it's missing folders and I don't know where to tell him to look for them. They don't seem to have gone to the same location they went when I pulled my /system.

Edit: Never mind. It appears his upload has failed, and he has a sluggish connection right now. He's uploading again and it appears to be going smoothly, but it will probably take over night unfortunately. I'm sorry for the wait.

But, if someone does have a list of folders and files, that might help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metallice:
It shouldn't be files or folders. It should be IMGs made from dd'ing the various partitions. Unless you just copied the system partition contents... But that's only one partition of many...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattevt:
I just had him do adb pull /system. We couldn't get the phone rooted, can I do dd without root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metallice:
Why can't he root the phone? Even if a root method doesn't work It's still a T-Mobile version. The bootloader should be unlocked. Flash a custom recovery and flash a superuser install zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattevt:
Got it. I'll have an update sometime over the weekend. Sorry for the delay.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Loglud:
Would recommend against doing this, and only as a last resort. The motochopper root we use right now should root him fine. The problem with this is that theres always a *chance* that he has a different kernel in his phone, overwriting the boot without checking that would cause havock, as he could brick the device if he doesn't have back up of his boot partition. Would highly recommend not doing that without a backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metallice:
Nobody said anything about overwriting the boot partition. And yeah motorchopper should work. I was just pointing out that there's no reason at all root couldn't be obtained.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Loglud:
True, My bad I read that wrong, but just imagine if I read that wrong how bad that could be. Also if i'm not mistaken he could just flash the recovery that has ADB enable, and the DEV map should be set up so he can adb pull the devices from there without super user.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattevt:
Alright, so if we achieve root access, wouldn't it be easier to just copy the individual files to extSD using Root Explorer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jeboo:
I haven't followed the entire thread, but if the premise is that a bootloader from one carrier can be flashed to another, it won't work. From what I've read, each model has a unique key embedded in the hardware (fuses). What would be needed is an engineering build from vzw.

Sorry to rain on the parade..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattevt:
I don't know what the premise is. I'm just trying to help by guiding OP through the process; which is difficult because he needs step-by-step assistance and is three timezones away. If this is futile, I'd like to know. Should we keep pursuing this or just let it drop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Loglud:
Ok if this truly is an unlocked bootloader, he should be able to do a fastboot or odin of the recovery for tmobile. Then once there he neeeds to boot into there. While in there he needs to do `adb shell dd if=/dev/block/...(don't know what the device name is)/by-name/(partition name) of=/sd-card/(partition name)` then he can just do `adb pull /sd-card/(partion)`

Probably one of the most partitions is going to be aboot because if it is indead unlocked and a developer device, it may have the proper signatures to flash directly on top of your aboot, thus unlocking the bootloader.

Absolutely true they could have different signatures that use different efuses. Could be a waste of time, but it never hurts for one more weapon in the asonal. My personal guess is that jeboo is right and that the reason this guy doesn't have a verizon flavor of the device is because they don't exist, and if they did they would have been locked up by now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattevt:
Right, but what I'm saying is, all the mmcblk's are in /dev/block. Why can't we just copy them straight from /dev /block using root explorer, instead of dding every one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Loglud:
Unfortunately dev devices don't work that way. The purpose of dding is to read the device otherwise it's just a link to the bus port.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattevt:
Sorry guys. He needs step-by-step guidance, which I've been trying to provide, but I don't think he feels comfortable doing this anymore. I don't want to push him if people don't think it will pay off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Whoop5:
If $5,120 isn't "paying off" then I'd be glad to trade him my S4 (and maybe even a few other things) for his.
