[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riddo:
Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone else expect similar or same issue as I do.

I recently updated to 4.3 soft No: 3.62.401.1

Today I was in need of using the front facing camera and when i switched from main camera ( which works perfectly fine) the front camera shows purple'ish lines from top to bottom in horizontal view, they are all over the screen and I can just about make out some shapes behind them.

Front camera functions work and I did test the camera when i got the phone and it was working perfectly fine as well.

I havent drop the phone nor hit it with anything, there are no viable marks on the front camera as well.

I wonder if this is due to software or not ?

Anyone could shed some light on this issue ?

Many Thanks

Kind Regards
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
I don't have that issue, but I swear since updating to 4.3 the Front facing camera has ****tier resolution or something, waaay more noise going on even in the brightest light - whereas before it was crisp and sharp. Hangouts video calls now look like **** too..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riddo:
tnx mate

well I'm now thinking if I should get my phone replaced, I got extended warranty on it with insurance so I could get it fixed/replaced in no time.

Still wondering if this not a software issue or not.

I forgot to mention that I have a carrier free version with sim unlocked in factory.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
I really think they messed up the FFC by trying to "software fix" their purple tint issue on the back cam

Something they did to the way the software runs the cameras screwed up the clarity and created new issues. That's my guess

I have an app, pushing it to in /data/local/tmp/myapp

I have root access for a while in exploit, so my goal is to setup "privileges" to /data/local/tmp/myapp, so it will be running as root even if was called from sh ( sh is running with shell privilleges )

_________________________________

BEFORE 4.3. code works fine ( executing in a context of process with root privileges ):

chown( "/data/local/tmp/myapp", 0 , 0); //owner to root
chmod("/data/local/tmp/myapp" 06777); //chmod myapp to suid

ls shows cute output after that:

Thats enough so myapp starts with uid == 0 even when was launched from "sh" with shell's uid.

4.3 this is NOT ENOUGH. Additional SE policies comes here ...

ls -Z shows the next output:

When i'm starting myapp from sh BEFORE 4.3 everything goes fine, but on 4.3 myapp launches with uid != 0.

PS: modifying context through chcon to u: object_r:system_file:s0 of myapp didnt help :(

ive been trying to install the pacman rom but when i reboot it gets stuck in bootloop does anybody know how to fix it
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Hmm, what pacman version are you using and are you using BMM to install it? It could also be a bad download zip but I guess it would indicate that to you during the installation. Well if you did use bmm and installed it on system 1, try fxzing back to stock, reinstall bmm and try it again on a different system.

No I'm using bootstrapp and when try to install CyanogenMod it works fine
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Ahaa, I guessed that was where you were going wrong. :p More recently introduced ROMs like pacman, aokp, carbon, etc. require that you use Boot Menu Manager (BMM) from the play store in order to install and run them successfully.

CM10 was one of our first working jb ROMs which used old bootstrap. But even the newer releases of cm require bmm now so we don't need bootstrap anymore except for like MIUI and older ROMs.

So if you still have bootstrap installed, you need to wipe its data in app management, uninstall it and then you're safe to install bmm. Read the bmm installation guide for further instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2115715. I hope this helps you and good luck! :thumbup::cool:

[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Can you access bmm at startup? If so, try wiping cache and dalvic cache of the system to see if it helps. If you can't access bmm, then you'll have to fxz back to stock, reroot and install bmm. If you mean your phone won't turn back on at all, then try pulling the battery and letting it charge for a while.

Im still new to this
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
I could tell, but no worries. :) There are numerous threads in this section with guides for new A2 owners, especially a thread called 'The ask anything' thread.

For your current case, you have fell victim to what is called soft-bricking, which means there's a software failure preventing the phone from booting normally.

What you need to do is charge your battery externally with either a battery charger or using the Mcgyver method. (search and you will find it in this section). Once charged enough, put your phone into fastboot mode (hold the power button+ volume down button) and then use RSD lite or a fastboot script to flash the appropriate sbf file for your phone's region.

Use this thread for more details and ask for more assistance if needed. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2245825 Good luck! :thumbup::D

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hana7x:
Hi,

Brand new to this site so no idea what I'm doing but I'll explain my problem, and I am a bit of a n00b when it comes to technical speak so bear with me!

Rooted my Kindle Fire HD 7" to get the Playstore and to disable the ads

Working well, but then I decided to get rid of automatic updates as whenever one came along, all my hard work was erased

Now I feel my Kindle is running slowly and I want to un-root all the work I did, and get it back to the way it was

I have performed a factory reset (probably a massive mistake!) and attempted to un-root it. But whenever I go on my Bin4ry program, and click to unroot, it says "Error: Device not found"

It comes up when I go into My Computer, and I have installed all necessary drivers, and enabled ADB...

I have tried to install the latest update for the Kindle Fire HD from the Amazon site as some people have said that worked, but I assume because I disabled automatic updates, it didn't work.

I am using Windows 7

I have a Kindle Fire HD 7"

So how can I unroot it? Please help me! :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
Use KFFA http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 You can do about anything from that tool. Just don't try to install TWRP or 2nd bootloader from there.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nephatiu:
Try this...

Many Superuser apps include the 'unroot' function in their settings. If the one you installed doesn't have the setting, just install supersu or CWM's Superuser app from the market, boot it up, let it take over the su and then use that app to unroot. (Choose "Install", Do Not Choose "Recovery Install"! ;p)

The fact your Kindle Fire isn't recognized by your bin4ry tool is maybe because of your factory reset resetting the Debug over USB setting in your settings. Re-enabling that will probably make it visible again to Bin4ry, since Bin4ry uses ADB (Android Debugging Bridge). ;)

Grtz,

Please help me, I'm desperate.

- I want to install MaximusHD ROM.

- I have HBOOT 2.15.

- I unlocked bootloader via HTCDev.

- I have CM10.1 running on my phone.

I tried this method to get Supercid, because, as far as I know, you need to have Supercid before getting S-OFF. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

This: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26516911#post26516911

I haven't even tried using the facepalm method because I can't get supercid.

After I followed all the steps correctly, I run command "fastboot oem readcid" and still get the T-MOB010 CID.

I repeated the whole process 3 times, making perfectly sure I didn't make any mistake and still, can't get supercid 11111111.

I tried using moonshine method too, but when I run distiller.exe at the end it says read and try again or something. So I just cant get S-OFF or supercid.

Please tell me how can I get MaximusHD Rom working on my phone! Please! :/

I can't. I didn't take screenshots, but believe me, I follow exactly the steps in the above mentioned thread to get supercid. But it just didn't stick. I keep getting T-MOB010 cid.

I think there's nothing I can do because my phone isn't supported by moonshine (I think) and my hboot is 2.15

Anyway I want to try MagioROM. Is it stable now or will it give me constant reboots? O.o
[HTC One S] Malexion:
Try to install official RUU to your phone. Before that you need reblocked your bootloader. After installation unlocked bootloader again and try get S-OFF.
[HTC One S] 2k10GT:
+1 on Malexion's suggestion.

Being on HBOOT 2.15 is not enough. For Moonshine to work, you need to be on one of the supported firmwares listed at the top of the Moonshine OP:

If you have an RUU available for your carrier that's on one of those, it can be done..

I'm on T-Mobile US, and had accepted the OTA JB update to 3.14.531.17 before deciding to go for S-OFF. That little OTA update from .11 to .17 apparently includes some cute write protection that doesn't allow for SuperCID (among other things). As with you then, Facepalm was out of the question for me.

So I turned to Moonshine, which worked after jumping through the right hoops:

Downloaded supported RUU

Verified that RUU matched my carrier, HBOOT and baseband

Locked bootloader

Flashed RUU (in my case, I was going back to 3.14.531.11 (T-MOB))

Unlocked bootloader (you'll need to get a new unlock key from htcdev)

Ran Moonshine

Moonshine worked on the first try for me, but from reading the posts, it's clearly not as easy for everyone (especially on Windows for whatever reason).

Hopefully that helps, but happy to provide more info if you have questions.

Good luck!

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

Also, forgot to mention that Moonshine does not require SuperCID. I never had it and still don't. (If Moonshine S-OFF works for you, it's easy to get SuperCID if you really need it -- which I don't, so I haven't bothered yet).
[HTC One S] howbeit:
T-Mobile

I'm also on T-Mobile and I wish I saw your post before I "upgraded" from .11 to .17. Quick question for you, because I just got this phone and don't know a whole lot about it. I've heard that HTC and/or Google released a jelly bean update that was horrible on the battery, and had to follow up with an update.

Is the .11 update the battery draining bad update? Is the battery drain problem something that can be fixed via a rom, rather than the update?

I guess that was more than one question, but any answers would be much appreciated. Also, if you could comment on your battery life since moving down to .11....
[HTC One S] 2k10GT:
Yes, the .11 OTA was the first JB rollout for this phone, and the .17 OTA was released soon after to correct the battery drain issue.

I was only on the older .11 firmware for a few days before I flashed a new ROM, but it seemed pretty brutal. I'm still new to flashing ROMs, though, and I've read that it can take a new ROM a little time to optimize battery life... Not sure if that also applies to RUUs.

But it was bad enough that I would recommend only flashing the .11 firmware if you intend to switch to another ROM.

Anyhow, I flashed AOSPA 3+ a few days later and love it. A stable port, fast and fun to play with the hybrid engine. Battery life on PA has been good so far, seems on par or better than the .17 firmware in my case.

Hope that helps!

---------- Post added at 02:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 AM ----------

Clarification: I would only bother with the older firmware as an interim step to (a) getting Moonshine S-OFF before flashing a new ROM, or (b) going back to stock and eventually the later .17 version via OTA.

(If you ever go back to stock, be *very* careful to read up on proper procedure before ever allowing a carrier OTA once you've played around with your phone... There are one or two cases where a carrier OTA is an instant brick scenario if you don't take the proper precautions).

Good post

When I did moonshine, I eventually put mint linux on a laptop just to get it to work. Where there is a will there is a way.
[HTC One S] 2k10GT:
Thanks... I've learned a ton over the last few months from everyone being so supportive here. Want to give back a little where I can.

I tried and tried to set up Ubuntu Linux, but I simply could not get it to play nicely with my MacBook Pro. For my new Android obsession, I'm running Windows through Parallels, and I didn't want to use that for Moonshine since they don't officially support VMs. But the Ubuntu install on my particular hardware just kept throwing up too many roadblocks. Thankfully, I was able to pretty carefully manage my HTC driver setup on the Mac and in the VM, and once I figured out the right combo, my adb/fastboot connections have been rock solid. So I took a deep breath and gave Moonshine a go through Parallels, and it took on the first try. Go figure, after all of my toying around with Linux. ;)
