[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] spitfireatz:
Ok.. I'm about to lose hope, please any creative ideas will be much appreciated..

I think i did a big mistake trying to update to the latest nightly release of CM 10.2 using the auto-update feature of cm 10.1...

The end result is a bootloop, gets up to the CM rotating animation for a few seconds and reboots.

on top of that:

unable to get into bootloader using pwr+vol up nor vol down

unable to access device using adb nor fastboot - shows no device connected

the PC does not recognize the device though there are drivers installed, the charging LED lights up but no PC activity

all of the solutions i've seen assume either the recover/bootloader is available or the phone is accessed via fastboot/adb.

in this case neither are correct....

for some time i wanted to upgrade to htc one but not yet....

please help
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Press and hold power until the phone shuts off.

Then let go of power and press and hold volume down until bootloader comes up.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] spitfireatz:
tried it again several time, but as I said it doesn't work.

I get a black screen (not the CM animation) and than reboot all over again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
You could try letting it drain completely. Then charge a bit and try again.

Is your phone plugged in while your trying? My phone will not enter bootloader while its plugged in.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
You are mostly likely not performing the button combo correctly. If there were no bootloader (hboot), the screen would not be coming on at all. Not getting into bootloader is almost always a case of not doing the button combo correctly. The one possible exception, is if your volume rocker has failed (and simply not registering the vol down being pressed).

Make sure you hold vol down, and

do not let go

until the while bootloader screen comes up.

Recovery is a different story, as you can indeed not have recovery installed, and the phone will still function. But hboot and recovery are 2 different things.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] spitfireatz:
I wish it was the case,

when i try to go into hboot the device instead of going into another boot until animation cycle, goes into black screen boot cycle. which means most likely that the action (PWR+Vol) does have an effect otherwise it would have continued to go into same boot cycle through the CM animation..

besides there is a recovery installed, or at least was...

is there anyway to re-install the hboot part without the hboot/fastboot availability?

Hi, my computer do not detect my Xperia P , when i connect it, in "Device manager" is not changing anything. I can not start phone in fastboot mode or flash mode. How can I repair the phone ? Sorry for my bad english.

Thanks in advance for the help.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Do you have PC Companion or are you going to flash with flashtool?

PC Companion should have installed flashmode.

Flashtool have drivers in it's directory, install all 3, Xperi P, fastboot, and flash mode drivers.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] abyisforyou:
first of all cheak the usb cable you are using:p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mamos98:
It should work with all kind of USB cable which is compatible with your USB port.

But you need to install adb interface Drivers if you are using windows/Linux or BSD / Macintosh to access to your files with PC or Mac book/iMac .

Or just simply you can use Sony companion suite which is available for almost all operating systems and it'll install needed drivers.

If you mean you can't use flashmod or fastboot mode you need to use flashtool drivers pack which is available in programs directory in a folder called "drivers" based on your operating system.

For example its x:\flashtool\drivers in windows os.

And "x" will be your windows drive.

You can also connect your phone to your computer and use one of hundreds missing driver founder programs in order to find compatible adb driver :cool:

Is there a way to copy the actual pocket outlook "Contacts database" file, which is found in the Database folder on the root of the device (seen through file browsing from pc)

To save a lot of time, i would like to copy this database file from one device, to several hundred. Scripted would be the best way to do this i would have thought.

Anybody know how?

Cheers.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Noodleman:

Still not sure how to get to the database, its in a protected area.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tshmit1:
I'm new to android and am interested in some of the functionality custom roms offer, but I'm reluctant to give up the stability/base functionality of the stock rom. I have been looking at CM, but hear of various minor hardware related issues with bluetooth, camera, sound, etc.

Is it expected that all of these issues will be ironed out over time? If so, what would be a reasonable expectation for how long it would take for the stability and functionality of, say, CM to be comparable to stock?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] FanDroid09:
That's tough to say... Cm10.2 is progressing rather quickly, and is quite stable but it isn't on the level of sense.

Also there is always the possibility that something could come up that causes a problem for the devs or maybe something small will never get fully fixed, you can't really predict it.

Have you looked at some of the awesome sense or GE roms or are you set on cm?

Hello people, I might be wrong in thinking that the galaxy note 3 hasn't been released(I thought it had ) , but I was in the o2 shop in Edinburgh looking at all the Samsung phones and I came across the note 3, only had a quick glance, checked the system info for the name of phone and it came up with galaxy note 3, didn't really do much else but it seemed very responsive.

I would of stayed and reviewed it had I know it hadn't been released yet, shame on me, never mind, if anyone is in the Edinburgh area on princess Street it's in the o2 shop when u first walk in on the right

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
I'd just buy an unlock code. If you try the free unlock too many times it'll permanently not allow you to unlock even if you buy a code. The unlock codes are not that expensive.

Ps, you can probably get the code for free from your carrier. This phone has been out for a long time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kcory2k:
i would but i got the phone at a yard sale
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
You can buy a code online. All you need is your imei number. Just Google phone unlock codes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
try a sim from another carrier to see if its unlocked
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kcory2k:
i did the whole process with my TMO sim installed, should that matter? also is what the guy said about trying to unlock my phone too many times will not allow it to be locked?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] acejavelin:
It is very true! If you attempt to unlock too many times then it will permanently be locked unless you send it in for JTAG reprogramming or to Samsung and pay the repair charge, but this is if you tried to unlock via just entering random codes.

In order to get to where you need to enter the code, you have to insert a SIM that is not with the carrier it is locked to, it will then prompt you for the code to unlock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kcory2k:
i have never seen or been asked for a sim code, when my tmo sim is in i get "mm6 error" or "not registered to network". if i type in something like *#7465#(i know thats not the # i just cant remember it right now)to get lock info, it all comes back as off. can mm6 error be for something else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onealvideo:
Sim Card

When I unlocked mine, you are supposed to put in a different SIM when you unlock your phone. Not the same one you use daily. Probably why it isn't working right...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
Waht? Sounds like superstition tbh.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Afaik, you'll need to root it with a computer. After that you can use goo manager or rom manager to put on a custom recovery and then download roms and use the custom recovery to flash the roms.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lart2150:
odin mobile requires root.

You might be able to root a phone without root but it would be a lot of work and would likely require a change to one of the root giving exploits(thus requiring a computer but not hooked up to the phone).

Hey Guys,

i managed to root and flash my fathers galaxy s GT-I9000 with cyanogenmod via clockworkmod and odin.

The next step would be to install the missing Google Apps via clockworkmod. Unfortunately the Recoverymode isnt accessable anymore via the 3-Button-Trick. I can go into download mode though. But i didnt manage it so far to access Recoverymode to flash the missing Apps...

Is there any way to flash the missing Apps without doing the whole procedure again?

[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] chenxiaolong:
I'm guessing you're going to have to hack libhdcp2.so. I've found that it deals with 3 paths:

/data/system/hdcp2

/system/etc/srm.bin

/dev/qseecom

I'm guessing /dev/qseecom is the important one as that's the interface to ARM's TrustZone stuff. I'm no assembly expert though, so I have no idea how to interpret the decompiled library :)

EDIT: Don't know if it's helpful, but if you see something like:

_ZN11CWFD_HdcpCp22WFD_HdcpSessionConnectEm

when running "strings system/lib/...", run this to translate it into a readable function signature:

$ echo '_ZN11CWFD_HdcpCp22WFD_HdcpSessionConnectEm' | c++filt
CWFD_HdcpCp::WFD_HdcpSessionConnect(unsigned long)
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] MohammadAG:
Hmm, I'm guessing you have a Qualcomm device? My libhdcp2.so doesn't have a reference to /dev/qseecom (it doesn't even exist), instead it seems to interface with /dev/s5p-smem.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] chenxiaolong:
Yeah, I should have mentioned that. I have the T-Mobile SGH-M919 model. I also don't have a libWFD_ENGINE.so, but I do have a libwfdhdcpcp.so.

I've attached the libhdcp2.so and libwfd* libraries from the Qualcomm variants.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] MohammadAG:
I've been doing some tests on a Note 2, that also fails when the device is modified, but there are easy ways to get that back to stock.

* I've confirmed that SysScope isn't used at all, it works fine even when device status is Settings is modified.

* HDCP also fails to init on the Note 2, but the logcat is a bit more verbose. I didn't copy the logcat, but it does indeed state that TZ failed to open, or opened and then got closed, so this is a TrustZone issue for sure.

I've been digging around the kernel source code, and I found references to wfd in secmem.c, which does point to s5p-smem here https://github.com/AndreiLux/Perseus-UNIVERSAL5410/blob/perseus/arch/arm/mach-exynos/secmem.c#L43

I'm pretty sure the same goes for the Qualcomm variant.

What I'm not sure of is the CONFIG_EXYNOS_CONTENT_PATH_PROTECTION, it's set to y in the kernel config, I wonder if disabling it would make this all work.

Also, I can't grasp how to communicate with the TZ, trying to read from /dev/s5p-smem throws an Invalid Argument error.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] chenxiaolong:
Hmm, I just tried reading from /dev/qseecom and I get the exact same Invalid Argument error. I've read somewhere on XDA that WIFI passwords are stored in TZ when a Samsung signed kernel is used and they're stored in wpa_supplicant.conf when the kernel is not official.

That leads me to think that TrustZone only works if the signatures match. There's also a chance that it won't work if the binary counter is not 0.

EDIT: Currently, only Qualcomm devices can have their counter reset though. Unfortunately, I don't have any Allshare/Miracast receivers to test with.

EDIT2: WFD apparently stands for WiFi Display: https://github.com/ktoonsez/KT-SGS4...n/devicetree/bindings/media/video/msm-wfd.txt

EDIT3: Don't know if this is useful. If you decompile SecSettings.apk and take a look at com/android/settings/DevelopmentSettings.java, there's this function:

private void removeHdcpOptionsForProduction()
{
if ("user".equals(Build.TYPE))
{
Preference localPreference = findPreference("hdcp_checking");
if (localPreference != null)
{
getPreferenceScreen().removePreference(localPreference);
this.mAllPrefs.remove(localPreference);
}
}
}

Changing the build type from user to userdebug in build.prop should enable the HDCP checkbox in development settings. I don't think this will work, but it's worth a try.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] sorg:
Well, i've hacked libWFD_ENGINE.so some time ago for my own needs. The way i've able to make it work only by disabling HDCP. So, this hacked version uses clear data without HDCP to talk with AllShareCast dongle.

I don't know if generic miracast dongles will accept data without HDCP as i don't have such device.

Included version for I9500 works with I9500XWUBMG1, I9500XXUBMG9, I9500UBUBMH1. Probably, it's compatible with other firmware versions.

P.S.: Since it's developers forum, you should know how to replace the file.

P.P.S: You can use this patched version in any ROM you want, but please give a credit to me.
