[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] z143456:
I have been reading about how android is one of the most insecure to data recovery and that with the right knowledge anyone can recover your texts, pictures, and basically anything can be recovered even if deleted from an android phone with the right tools, regardless of whether this data is stored in the system/data partition Now all this has come about because my brother in law has challenged me to try and hide this data. I obviously argued that doing a factory reset or system wipe x3 of all areas through recovery should take care of it.... but after even more research and some testing, i have found that basically he is right! It seems to me that by now someone would have figured out how to write random data to all of these partitions through a recovery method or by using adb or even using mobile odin.... is android really so insecure that no one has taken this seriously enough to figure out a work around to protect our constitutional rights to privacy or is it time to return to the days of living off the grid so our privacy cannot be invaded. All I want to do is show him up and prove that it is possible to protect what should always be private! Hopefully a dev will see this and be able to give me a competent answer or at least point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

Got my New ONE yesterday, but its Locked to EE/Orange UK.

Can eBay unlockers be trusted because some are only charging 99p - £5, whereas websites charge £10 - £30.

I do know 4.3 is still rolling out in EU, but, even though the phone and Box have no branding whatsoever, apart from APN settings being greyed out, after unlocking, should I re-flash the 4.22 Open EU RUU, to make it fully stock unlocked to get 4.3

Thanks

Hello,

One of my friend's HTC One X recently got bricked or at least I guess so.

The phone was not rooted and not unlocked. The phone received the update a few days ago.

After downloading and installing the update, the phone won't go past the boot screen. It displays the htc one x logo and stays there. He is able to goto recovery mode, but resetting the phone didn't help.

The usb debugging is turned off, so he is not able to unlock the bootloader or anything as such. When the phone is connected to the computer, adb shows nothing and the AIO toolkit shows waiting for device.

Is there anyway to fix it?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC One X] Thant:
Download the latest driver from HTC.

Download this extract to c:\fastboot and go in bootloader on your phone choise fastboot connect the phone to computer and you will see on bootlader Fasboot will change with Fastboot USB. Unlock your phone with HTCDEV and install custom recovery after this mount from recovery SD card and put your rom on the sd card install the rom flash the boot.img erase cache.
[HTC One X] obscurant1st:
Hello, I have unlocked the bootloader. Now I have to find a boot.img I guess

So how do I find it?

BTW I hope I can use the toolkit from this theread for flashing the boot.img: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2066390
[HTC One X] xb2:
Now, flash a custom recovery (twrp,cwm..) and choose a rom to flash (stock or customs).

Inside the rom zipfile there is boot.img for you. Just make sure you follow the relevant install instruction correctly when flashing rom.

One more thing: if possible try to flash manually (instead of using auto tool) as you can make sure which steps/commands have been done and which not. That's very helpful in case of any problem.

Good luck..
[HTC One X] Thant:
first like say [MENTION=4655270]xb2[/MENTION] install custom recovery after this flash the boot.img extract from rom arhive and after this go in recovery mount SD card copy your rom to sd card and install the rom
[HTC One X] obscurant1st:
I don't think HTC One X comes with sd card slot! :(
[HTC One X] xb2:
Dont get confused. Thant is right, hox has internal memory and external memory (also referred as sd card). Both are inside the phone. It's not physical card slot he meant.

Btw, what about status of your current progress? Is it ok?
[HTC One X] obscurant1st:
I have one more doubt.

I managed to find the boot.img from a stock rom. so after flashing it, do I have to do anything else?

I mean do I have to go ahead and flash the entire rom?

Also since the phone is not booting, how do I put the files in SD card?
[HTC One X] Thant:
If you flash stock boot.img you need to flash stock rom but you can't flash stock rom because you can't put the file on the SD Card.

Listen now.

1. Install custom recovery Philz is really good. Extract the recovery.img and put in your fastboot folder run command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and fastboot erase cache

2. Go in recovery and choice the option mount sd card

3. Copy your ROM to SD Card and install. Use option in recovery Install ZIP

4. Go in fastboot and flash the boot.img extracted from ROM arhiv with the command fastboot flash boot boot.img and after this fastboot erase cache

5. Use your phone
[HTC One X] obscurant1st:
Thanks a lot. So there is no way to install stock rom now?

Also can you link me to any rom you recommend. I am not looking for anything special ro something like that. I just want to make it work, so.

What about this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2464113

And also I already installed twrp recovery. I can use that too right?
[HTC One X] Thant:
You can install stock rom no problem for this please post the result from command fastboot getvar all and delete S/N and IMEI

You can restore nandroid on stock

You want AOSP not sens right. You can change your rom when you want try different rom and see witch one is good for you

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EccTM:
My SIII Mini (NFC version) originally runs stock rooted I8190NXXALL6, and its the 3IE region.

I flashed Maclaw's PAC rom (20131002) and have no mobile signal. Everything else on the rom functions perfect.

I tried use the service menu to change network type (or even turn on and off radio) but it wouldn't do anything.

I've also restored back to a (fully working) TWRP backup of my stock, and with dd, ripped both modem.bin (mmcblk0p16) and modemfs.img (mmcblk0p12), reflashed to PAC and flashed those back to the blocks, with no luck.

I'd check baseband and csc in the PAC rom but the hidden menu codes i know for checking don't work (*#1234# and *#12580*369# work on stock rom) and i'm running out of ideas.

Anyone out there had (and fixed) this issue before? Suggestions?

Specs:

128mb

Windows mobile 2005!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seemingly NO wlan!!!!

See photo from official catalogue:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tko:
thats a joke... isn't it

no wlan... than i see no serious reason to buy an mdac2 instead an mdac1... only because of 128mb an wm05...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] thormdac:
No, its not a joke!!!

The employees couldnt tell me a price yet, and the catalogue definately does not show specifications with wlan!!!!

I asked the employees and they couldnt find wlan either.

You should be able to pick up the catalogue yourself at your favourite tmobile store within the next few days.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ImmortalU:
No wifi for any new PPC phone is a joke, saying that, no EDGE is aswell!

I wonder, would the MDA2 rom work on the normal magician.... cause if it has no wifi module wouldnt it be just ur run-of-the-mill Qtek S110 / upgraded magician?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] HBK:
If this is the real deal, there wouldn't be much reason for current Magician owners to update. But at least they could keep on selling this very popular phone for some time yet, provided they dump the price.

And why shouldn't they? Surely they have made enough money already on the Magician, so whatever they can get in on v2, is just an welcome bonus.

If the WM5 rom can be installed on the current Magicians, they would even get a very happy userbase, which most likely would choose the same brand again :)

Btw, have you noticed the lower two buttons are the same as on the current Magician? Oh well, guess we shouldn't read too much into this early picture...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] shafez:
This product is similar to the i-mate New Jam with 128mb ram and WM2003SE, I have this device and it is very nice,very stable and i love it.

The only difference is WM5 and if they do release it then we all can have WM5 on our devices.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Slave1:
It's coming out in the UK too, but in a different colour.....
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jdee246:
I wouldn't presume you'll be able to upgrade a Magician with a Magician2 ROM. After all you can't upgrade a Himilaya with an Alpine ROM.

Unless of course it really is exactly the same device - with WM5?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] HBK:
Well, it LOOKS to be the exact same device. If they did any upgrades, wouldn't they advertise it?

After the Raptor hoax I guess most people don't wanna get their hopes up again, but I find this thing very interesting :)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] thormdac:

No it does not have Wifi ,it is identical to the original Jam but with 128mb ram.

The device ID is PM10A ,don't know if that is different from the original jam or not.

It was launched because of custoimer coplaining that the Jam 64mb memory was not enough.

Look at the specification sheet attached.

Hmm...

*Operating system

Microsoft Windows Mobile Second Edition for Pocket PC

Looks to me like this is the spec sheet for the S110, not the Magician 2, but who knows? Guess we will have to wait and see this thing IRL, before we get our hopes up.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] risidoro:
The device you're talking about is the Qtek s110 (or super jam). It's a magician with 128MB ram, some users on this forum have one.

The new device, if rumors are right, should have 128MB of STORAGE and NOT ram. It's because WM 5.0, differently than wm 2003, don't use ram for storing programs and setting but ONLY to run programs (as an ordinary PC); this way 64MB is more than enogh.

Latest Dell AXIM X51v, one of the most powerful PPC out there, for example, has 256MB of storage and only 64 of RAM.

WM 5.0 behaves as an ordinary PC: storage (and SD cards) is the hard disk and is so used for both programs and OS; RAM is RAM: it's used for running programs ONLY! No more databases, registry, settings and programs will be stored there. No more dynamic allocation of the ram, no more partitioning of the RAM in storage-ram and running_programs-ram. RAM is just RAM.

A WM5.0 device should have 64MB of RAM and at least 64MB of storage (for SO). Obviously such a small quantity of storage space wouldn't let users install anything on it since it would be almost completely taken by the OS itself. For this reason, wm5.0 devices use to provide a larger amount of storage while retaining the same 64MB of RAM.

In theory, installing wm 5.0 on a magician should be possible but users would be forced to move every program to SD card since the 64MB of storage would fit the SO and nothing else.

Excuse me for my bad English, i hope what i wrote makes sense.

Bye bye,

Isidoro
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Chatty:
@risidoro: Moving all programs to SD wouldn't be so bad/difficult/inconvenient/... because then you'd finally have 64 MB of free RAM compared to some 20 MB nowadays.

You're right, i hope we'll be able to find a wm5.0 rom for our magicians one day!!!

Mda compact 2 have 128 mb RAM (from the screenshots we see that "mda III RAM"="mda compact 2 RAM"=128mb)

Mda compact 2 have Windows Mobile 5.0
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] duke911:
AFAIK, in WM 5.0 devices (like K-JAM ) users keep complaining about small amount of RAM although the OS is supposed to be using RAM for running applications only...

you'll get about 10-15 free MB of RAM ( if i got it right )

maybe WM 5.0 requires more memory to run application :?

anyway... I don't think we'll see a WM 5.0 on our magicians very soon :(

using SD cards is not a problem... and hopefully, we'll see mini WiFi cards with a decent amount of memory ( 512 MB would be nice ) ... if that becomes true soon + WM 5.0 on a magician... I believe we'll have a great PPC again 8)

cheers
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] HBK:
I just wonder exactly how much storage will be available in ROM, if we do get WM5 for the old Magician? Sure, most prgs run happily on the SD card, but there are a few exceptions.

For example, apps on the Today screen will have to be readily available at boot time and they arent, since the drivers for the SD card haven't been run yet...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kta:
What's your reasoning behind this?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ImmortalU:
It seems to me, that we will get WM5 on our magicians as soon as MDA2 is released...

Granted its not gonna be fast at first but im sure once the modded ones get released all will be well...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] shafez:
I would as you all like to have WM5 on my Jam,but at the end we should not be disapointed if we don't get.

I would like to ask all of you here,what is in WM5 that would give benifits to Migician users more than what they can get out now from the device as it is?

I don't think there is much to loose if we don't get it,do you not agree with me.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] duke911:
kta wrote

well...first, AFAIK Buzz is not focusing his work on the magician at the moment... and I don't think we'll see a WM 5.0 working on our magicians unless buzz starts modifying, developing...

second... we don't know much about MDA2's hardware.... it might look the same , but hardware might differ :?

anyway, until MDA2 comes out... all of these discussions would be just speculations

BTW... I just read on msmobiles.com about new Pocket PC from HTC.. it's called HTC Muse

[/b]

http://msmobiles.com/news.php/4514.html

so if it really runs and works OK with 64 of ROM.. I believe there's no problem running WM 5.0 on magician ( except drivers )

One hand operation, persistent storage so you don't have to worry about your battery life, improved performance ( supposed to ..) ...etc and above all... it's really nice to have something new every now and then... it'll break the routine :wink:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ImmortalU:
its also one of those things that i gotta have the latest software always....
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jackleung:
I think everything are true but performance. All of the reviews I heard so far is they perform slower after WM5 upgrade. Mostly due to programs are installed on ROM instead of RAM.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Smahatma:
but half your software won't work :wink:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] HBK:
Having WM5 available for the Magician is a must, if it is to survive a few more months. There's really isn't any reason to ask how it is better than 2003SE, it's just a newer OS and thus the one that is going to be developed software for. You don't use Windows 2000 anymore either, do you?

But even if we do get access to WM5, it doesn't mean you will have to install it from day 1. As Smahatma said, a lot of stuff isn't working right now, but over time it will.

So to me, it is a question of having WM5 available for whenever we ourselves decide the benefits will outweigh the problems.

Options... Isn't that what it's all about?
