Start of fresh first try factory reset if its a no go then fxz that will definitely work. Then install the apk and get root.

Make sure your using the right apk.. I ran into this issue because I was directed to the moto x apk which was patched
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] needshelp101:
I haven't used fxz or rsd since my bionic. Like 5 phones ago. But that should work? I've seen a few different fxz files for the maxx. I'm assuming that since I'm in 12.7.7 I should stick with that one? Or are there advantages with the other file?

[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] carl_smith:
Droidspace is a newly published, open source, shell based IDE. It allows you to use Python and HTML5 to hack Android and Chrome. The latest version includes...

Python3 Interpreter

Chrome based interface (hack your droid from a regular laptop)

Extensible shell

Hacker's text editor (based on ACE)

HTTPS support for untrusted networks

Very simple API for casting your own creations onto the browser

SL4A based Android API (supports webviews)

Video and audio streaming

Simple, pure Python extension system

Intuitive threading (nothing blocks unless you want it to)

Droidspace is designed to allow you to very easily and rapidly develop software on an Android device, with the option of using HTML5 to build user interfaces that can be rendered by the device directly or cast into some instance of Chrome running on the same local network. Though all the bits are there, Droidspace is not well suited to developing standalone products for publication.

Droidspace Philosophy, Article 0: Magic is essential. Portability isn't.

The project is hosted by GitHub and is GPL licensed. I can't post links here, but you can find it easily on Google. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help.

Great ! ... :D ... I'll give it a try soon ... :good:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Olipro:
I remember reading a post from a user about the slight ineffectiveness of IIWPO with regard to resetting the device, and I have also seen that it does not quite function properly, so here's what I propose, and plan to initiate work on, as soon as eMbedded VC++ downloads...

application works on the following security level;

a registry setting is created from the cab file after a hard-reset (so it's assuming that the PDA already has a built-in security code as part of WM) that contains a hash of a 5-digit security code, upon the soft-reset of the device, if another registry key that contains an XOR (XOR codes will be hardcoded) of the correct code is not found, then a window pops up, which will create another registry key, in the event that the user soft-resets the device (resulting in the preset number being sent a text) and the software never bothering the user again (in the hope that the user won't smell a rat, and will instead feel rather big and clever). should they however input a code, and that code is incorrect, a message will also be sent, but the program will once again disappear. and if the correct code is input, the program will apply the appropriate XOR version to the registry.

Hopefully, it will also be possible to a) disable active sync until after the program has either had a success with the code, or failure, and also disable all incoming beams, so that the init of the program cannot be bypassed by remote means.

and if you were wondering, IIWTBTPO = Interesting Interaction With Thieving B'stard Then Previous Owner.

comments? suggestions? need me to simplify the convoluted mess of a process?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] drean:
Couldn't you just put a file into the extended rom, that would load the revelant settings into the registry that:

1. enabling 'strong alphanumeric password' (with a hardcoded password)

2. check 'prompt if device is unused for 0 mins'

3. load owner information (also hardcoded)

4. display owner information on startup

Effectively, on every hard reset, he won't be able to turn off the password, since he'd need to key in the existing password. Also, once the unit goes into standby, it gets locked and the owner information is displayed.

The only 1 chance to defeat this, would be to hard reset; load a registry editor via SD card, and disable the password from there. Any thief who gets this far, would probably also know how to unlock the extended rom and remove these registry settings from there.

I've changed the splash screen in the extended rom for my hp6365 to display a custom .bmp with my 'owner information' instead of the default startup screen on every soft reset. I think it's resonably annoying enough that he can't sell it except to someone else who'd know the unit was found/stolen.

The changes I'd like to see done to IIWPO include:

a) not using "IIWPO" in the registry (user customisable registry key, as well as executable file name)

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

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

d) 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 don't believe the source is available (I'd like to poke into it if it was), but if IIWPO would do all of the above, i'd remove my custom splash screen, and not make use of any 'locks' that would prevent the unit from being used; Perhaps just 'preload' some owner infomation on every hard reset; but keeping the unit as 'normal' as possible would perhaps increase the chances of recovery with IIWPO.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Olipro:
or flashing a new ExtROM, or soft-resetting right before it rolls out the ExtROM.

if anyone has any info on the Password capability built into WM, I'd appreciate it
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] craigiecraigie4:
After having my last 2 XDA's stolen (Africa), I put this app straight into my VERY expensive JasJar and I'm DELIGHTED to see it works (incl sending the SMS SO discretely that I thought it MUST have tanked). Ran out and made a donation to xda-developers to IIWPO credit straight away!

I'd love to see a suggestion I saw elsewhere; Regular SMS's with theif's recent calls and sms's. Also, a 'honeypot' approach; put an obvious filename (eg Anti-theft.exe) in the startup directory that does nothing, but if deleted IIWPO reacts, and re-enables "show owner info on startup" key. (all this cos I'm not convinced that thieves know to change the owner info)

Also, if someone could provide some strategies for installing on a JasJar where we do NOT have access to the ROM, that would be great! African thieves are not very smart, but I would like it to survive a hard reset.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Olipro:
perhaps it might be an idea to toy with the possibility of hooking into the password screen, if possible in order to have a 3-strikes system whereby if after 3 incorrect tries, the PDA will send a message, and again, upon hard reset, password info is re-applied
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GadiShoshani:
enhancement

the best thing is - upon theft, The JJ will grow 2 legs,

and start running to the last owner address using Built in GPS..

but seriously:

a password screen that will appear every 24H saying:

"The rightfull owner is *Name*.

contact him at *Number* for a finders fee of **GBP".

The message wont contain "Enter Password:" but upon putting correct password (you can also apply an X,Y screen value like 0,0 which is lower left corner) the phone will unlock.

if he tries to H.R the password screen (in the same format) will appear.

+ after 2 wrong passes / no passes - disable all beams & USB.

so there is no away around it. (I think).

comments any 1?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Olipro - not necessary to hook password screen: write your own.

I'll try and write one one day. I've already done a bit of theft protection, to do the following:

-my plugin will detect an unauthorised sim and sms me back with cellid.

-Optionally hard reset and format the sd card by sms to the stolen phone.

-Am looking into how to "brick" the phone instead...

I don't want to encourage him to flash/hard reset, because then I will lose the SMS/cell id tracking function, so my protection system is benign, hidden in the background.

However, this is for the magician, and not for rom installation (although it can be!). But, I think: if a thief is knowledgable enough to know how to hard reset and flash a HTC phone, I think he's a fellow hacker and deserves the phone. I'm insured either way... however, for non-insureds, you get your own back a bit.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Olipro:
as soon as I get some free time from essays... I'll get round to this.

if you want to brick the PDA, then I believe that HimaClearJumpCode.exe when run on the PDA should do the job quite effectively
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] seanpowell95:
which samsung galaxy s4 rom uses less memory? I am using Slim Beam 4.3. I have done a factory reset and it says I only have 513mb avaliable and I don't use alot of apps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] a.cid:
Moved to Sprint S4 Q&A :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] KennyG123:
Clearly you are confusing RAM and storage. Android fills your RAM with apps as unused memory is wasted memory. So Android will keep moving apps in and out of memory by use and priority.

Storage is what may be left on your internal memory by downloading a bunch of apps or creating many back ups on your phone and not deleting old ones. Where as AOSP ROMs may use about 500 MB less storage after gapps than Touchwiz ROMs, that is still not a big difference considering the 16 GB it comes with.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] seanpowell95:
Gotha. Thanks KennyGlass. But after I do a full wipe and flash a new rom, there shouldn't be only 513 left without even intalling an app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] KennyG123:
Where are you measuring this? Are you talking internal or RAM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] seanpowell95:
Inernal
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] KennyG123:
So no, a data reset will not delete pictures, backups, or any of that. You will need to go through your internal storage and delete things.

For some reason, when i shut off my phone lately, and restart it, it starts up fine but when i unlock it, it brings up a black screen. Luckily i have titanium backup so i just pull up Google from the bottom and open titanium that way but anyway when i open it up and find the home screen, it shows as uninstalled, of course though i just re install from a backup (Thank god i have one) and then its fine. I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if there's something that might be causing this because i don't like having to re install the home screen every time i restart my phone.

So I went to the (how to guide) here and it describes how to get it with the wifi tether app and being rooted... well ive done that mate.... and I check my t-mobile account and it still uses my 2.5 gigs of free wifi tethering.... is there another way?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Paten:
If you already have a plan with free tethering what exactly do you expect from this? If you use data, it's going to show up on your account as being used whether you are tethering or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cryptic3:
I don't expect anything I just thought the WiFi tethering would show up on on my data plan which is unlimited. My tether plan is only 2.5 gigs plan. It does the same as the stock hotspot tethering. Which in turn renders that app "WiFi tethering" useless. Its no big deal just asking the guide said he could use unlimited WiFi tether and T-Mobile didn't charge him for unlimited use... that wasnt the case for me....

Try WIFI TETHERING SHORTCUT TOOL it is the ONLY tethering I got to work in my device.its so easy no settings to bother with.its install ready for our samsung galaxy s4. Its made for samsung devices. Worked first try after install. Very simple. install and your tethering! Works perfectly. I've tried the others with no joybut this one really works well. Hope this helps. Best wishes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Yepiz92:
how can I see how much data I've tethered
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cryptic3:
If your with Tmobile... use the my tmobole account app
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] savir90:
STEP 1

"STOCK ROM"

-download "1 click tether" from the market...this will force the internal tethering to turn on

OR

Run an AOSP rom, internal tethering is unlocked in aosp roms

STEP 2

once youve figured out step one, you should be able to tether, whether on aosp or tw ,it dont matter....only problem is, tmobile will soon block you because of your user agent on the computer

so you have two options...

1. download a browser on your computer that supports changing your user agent...chrome, firefox...ect...change the user agent to something other than windows...you can now use unlimited tethering on your browser.

NOW.....This will only give internet to the browser, not the computer globally...The only way to get global tethering on every program on the pc you'd have to set up a VPN...via the phone or via pc...VPN's are usually not free thou

My setup

-Running CM10 ROM

-Using the internal tethering option in the rom

-I use google chrome

-In google chrom i use this extension called "user agent switcher" https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher/lkmofgnohbedopheiphabfhfjgkhfcgf

-everytime i open google chrome i change the user agent to "safari on mac"

DONE

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] chhaggerty:
I have large wrists and usually need extra links added to most watch bands. Anybody know how large the Gear band is?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] xManMythLegend:
The clasps come off so you can adjust.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ryland Johnson:
In general the first thing to wear on a watch is the wrist strap. As this strap is an integral part of the watch you realise what that means. A complete new watch. I don't know what material the strap is made from. Oris make a watch range with what appears Rubber straps but this is a special reinforced vulcanised rubber same as found in car tyres. I have been using Oris for some years and have yet to replace a strap. I doubt the Gear is made from the same materials though?

Looks like its going to be a steep learning curve for us with this watch. I love my techno and am looking forward to trying out the Gear. I do have several reservations though and think a gear Mk2 will not be to far ahead. Judging by the offers Samsung are offering with the gear I think, from market research, that they also have some reservations. I am 'only' paying 120.00€ for my Gear not the full market price here of 300.00€.

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] nusul:
in fact, the band size is short, i am 1meter85, and the band is the limit to me. The plastic is hard (peharps too new?) and the close mechanism is bad placed (to much to the right)

[Windows RT General] phxtravis:
I attached a screenshot of the issue that I am having, and per ASUS tech support they have never seen this issue. My question is, the key the that it "shows" that I have is only 10 characters long, whereas it should be 25. Is that normal for it to just show 10, or is that my problem? FYI ASUS has me sending back the tablet, which I do plan on doing.

Its and ASUS Vivotab RT btw
[Windows RT General] Osprey00:
I'm pretty sure that that's simply how it's choosing to display it there... but that doesn't explain why it's not accepting it as a valid key for activation. Isn't Windows RT supposed to come pre-activated? I believe that my Surface RT did. Is the VivoTab RT different? Does ASUS give you instructions to activate and the key to do it with?

I would follow the instructions here to get your product key and input it into that screen that you screenshot. Maybe it'll accept it then.

If that doesn't work, then maybe there's something that you forgot to tell us... like you re-installed Windows RT, performed a recovery, tried to change product keys or something like that. Unless you clarify, we have to assume that you just unboxed a new VivoTab and this is what greeted you.
[Windows RT General] phxtravis:
thanks for the help, I just tried that, got my key and get the attached error. Sorry for the lack of info, figured this couldn't be fixed anyway. I purchased this off eBay as a manufacturer refurb, from a reputable dealer(ASUS verified this when I called them btw) and yes, this is how it was out of the box. It lets me update, ran through all the updates to see it that may help and no change. I have tried resetting twice and 1 refresh. Maybe it's just Microsofts way of punishing ASUS for abandoning RT? haha
[Windows RT General] phxtravis:
Oh, and just for fun I am going to try and work with the ASUS recovery that someone posted(currently downloading on my POS internet).
[Windows RT General] Osprey00:
Yeah, since the key is "blocked," sending it into ASUS is the only thing that you can do, I think. It would seem to be their fault, after all, since a manufacturer refurb obviously shouldn't have this problem. So, yeah, better luck with the replacement. EDIT: BTW, I don't think that the recovery image will do you any good, because you'll still need your own key to activate it, and yours is "blocked."
[Moto X Q&A] dzlvs8:
A little background info. I have a Verizon Moto X.

I installed Pwnmymoto, the xposed installer, and xposed.

when I reboot with the pwnmymoto it says that I am rooted, but I dont see the root directory. xposed also doesnt make any changes that I specify.

So I thought, hey its time to factory data reset and try again.

Factory data reset did not work. It just rebooted my phone and all my data was still there.

Then I uninstalled pwnmymoto and the two exposed apps via the phones app list and tried to factory data reset and I got the same error.

:eek: Help! I haven't attempted to factory data reset using adb because I'm too stupid to figure out how to do it with adb, no matter how many times I google it. (yes I do have adb already).

Where do I go from here? Back to the Verizon store and hope that they dont notice that I tried rooting the phone?
