[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] drean:
The changes I'd like to see done to IIWPO include:

a) not using "IIWPO" or 'xda-developer' in the registry (user customisable registry key)

b) user customisable executable file name (IIWPO_startup is like a dead giveaway)

c) not storing owner name & number 'in the clear' (a simple XOR to hide it would be just as effective)

d) a hash of the entire owner info page (not just the last name) so unit will resend an SMS if any info changes

e) a new sms is resent after a preset time (eg: every 24/48/120 hours for example), regardless if owner info has changed or not.

I also like the idea of multiple number reporting.

a,b,c) Considering the concept of IIWPO is 'security by obscurity'; it will help if one could hide it more effectively. (no one is going to bother too much about bluetooth.exe or msn_update.exe in the startup folder for example...)

d) Most people get their name right; then meddle with the other bits of information as time goes on - it'd be good to get 'updated' info as and when it happens.

e) Consider it a 'keep alive' thing, so we'll know the unit is still in use, and can continue to keep in touch with the new owner =) I've no moral issues burning up the credit of someone who refuses to give me back my property either. =P

If nothing else, we'd be able to know when the unit gets reflashed, and can quiety say goodbye to our unit after not hearing from it for a while... =(

Is IIWPO still being maintained by the author, or anyone on xda-developers? If not, is the source available? I might be interested in following up on it (time permitting...)

Edited to add: A really vicious version of the IIWPO would possibly send out:

a) phone numbers stored in the SIM card

b) phone numbers stored in the addres book

c) recently dialed/received phone numbers

d) recently sent/received SMS phone numbers

Not all in one go; but in bits and pieces (eg: every 20 startups; send phone numbers of last 5 SMSs sent/received + last 5 phone calls dialed/received).

That would allow us get in touch with his friends and would possibly aid in getting the unit returned (use your imagination... probably easier to get them tell you who/where he is, rather than to get them convince him to return it...)

Probably this would add too much bloat to IIWPO; but hey, could be useful... =P
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GadiShoshani:
WOW, ok.

First of all - I registered 2 this forum less than a week ago,

and great job for doing these kind of things.

second - where can i d/l the prog? :)

and last another idea: when some1 steals ur pda he's usually gonna sell it over. meaning he made his money.

HOWEVER - if even after a HR after changing sims (maybe even without) there will be a picture message saying:

"You cannot use this phone"

"This phone can only be used by me - *name*"

"However, Im willing to buy this phone back from you. call +......"

there wont be a place on the screen to enter the code.

however - the phones' user knows he can type his password and unlock the phone. you might even integrate a handwriting recognition programm for signature or somthing but that will be super hard, i know.

another option is that when seeing this message user has to touch 4 corners of the screen with the stylus in a specific order, then he'll have a please enter password screen.

any comment?

is it do-able?

If you want to go back completely stock you can S-off and use VipeRUU. It will put you back totally stock, unrooted, locked bootloader and S-on. Otherwise check out the development section, as there are stock rooted ROM's posted there.

Hi I currently own the Google S4 and was wondering if it is possible to add band 7 or 2600 Mhz frequency to this phone. I figured it would be the same as adding the AWS band except instead of the AWS file it would be the 2600 Mhz file.

I wait the flash method, normaly reboots, access adb and type : adb reboot recovery, but i ended up on android stock recovery, with the green android.

What can I do ?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanpi31:
I had the same issue, after 3 days of frustration I finally managed to get it working.

First download the MR. PARKINSON'S DROIDHD UTILITY 2.0 found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2241788

The light version should be fine.

After downloading unzip and create a folder inside the "DROIDHD UTILITY 2.0" folder named "twrp"

Inside that folder put the recovery image you want to use. (It doesn't have to be TWR, it could be CWR or OUDHS.)

Now open the DROIDHD UTILITY 2.0 and select option 2 (Roots, unlocks...)

Then select option 5, Say Yes and continue.

After doing all that you should be good to go. Go to recovery mode and check.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Guys,

Apologies in having to ask such a simple question but I can not find an answer elsewhere.....

I have never owned a Sony phone but am loving the idea of a bit of waterproofing and a dedicated camera button.

However, I do have an issue which is so basic I simply can not find an answer....

Presently I own a Galaxy S4 and like all the other Galaxy S models, to turn on the phone from sleep you simply press the Home Button.

In fact with the S4 there are a number of ways to wake up the screen:-

1. Press the Power button.

2. Press the Home button.

3. Use Voice wake command.

4. Use the Samsung Flip-Case which when opened turns on the screen (which I already own).

I can even wave my hand over the screen to activate important information.

What I am trying to ascertain is simply this ~ is the only method of waking the screen on the Z1 done by pressing the Power button on the side of the phone?

If this is true I just know it is going to be a big issue for me.

Having had the last few years with a simple wake up to then go back to a Power button on the side of the phone will not be pleasant.

I am otherwise looking forward to purchasing a SIM Free Z1 to go with my SIM Free S4.

Thanks in advance

The side power button is in a great position. I've had 30 mins with the phone. I think you would be fine. But there doesn't seem another way.

I will have phone again tomorrow and will check in settings. The Z Tablet had a double tap screen to turn on which was great.

Anything else let me know.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Hi Gavin,

Thanks for that snipet of information on the double-tap from the Z Tablet, it brings a glimmer of hope.

Listening to what both the other guys have been saying and your comment on the power button located decently it is giving me confidence.

As you yourself have the S4 and other Galaxy smartphones I am sure you understand where my queries were coming from.

In my busy schedule at work where hands and time are at a premium I do find it extremely easy and comfortable in not having to pick up the S4 to switch on the phone. I can keep one hand on my surgical instruments with the other to slide over to the Home button to power the screen.

Most of my work is done this way, I don't really wiant to have to resort to picking the phone up each time just to check something over.

Any further info you can provide will be greatly received.

I'm also pleased you are looking further yourself into the Z1. I know we have talked about it at lengths before and here we are again both at the same manufacturer.

Hello all,

I've had my SX56 for a few months now and have had few problems with it until just now, when the vibrate function stopped working. A hard reset did not fix it. The only software change I'd made was months ago, to upgrade the OS to WM2003SE, so for now I'm going with the theory that the vibration motor has died :(

Does anyone know where replacement SX56 vibration motors are available, or have one for sale? I've searched these forums and the web, and didn't find anything. Any information is appreciated, thanks in advance.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] MrFixit007:
Since you can access recovery you need to adb sideload a rom. You can find o ut how to do that here.

If that doesn't work for you (which I suspect it won't) then you will need to take your phone back to stock by applying RUU. there are several ways to do that. Let me know if you need that information and I'll post it here for you.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Herstandez:
I've tried side loading and my phone isnt recognized by adb :/ and before I rooted my phone I updated to 1.31.651.2 and there isn't an RUU for it yet
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
Uninstall your HTC drivers. And install the universal naked drivers http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2263822

Make sure you don't have HTC sync installed, disable any anti virus and firewalls and try to sideload again.

There are ways to RUU on 1.31 but that is way too much hassle when all you need is to install a Rom.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Herstandez:
I'm trying that now, I'll let you know what happens, thank you guys so much

Please excuse me being a n00b, but I'm not too positive on what to do with the files in the zip :/
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] MrFixit007:
Did you get it figured out? You have to install the drivers manually. If you don't know how, then I would google search "how to manually install device drivers" otherwise you can just use the drivers that install when you install HTC Sync. They work just as well.

What you need to do if adb does not recognize your device is fastboot flash TWRP 2.5.0.0. The older version works. Then you will be able to use adb and you can follow all the steps I outlined here.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
