[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tylerholbrook:
Just some reading I came across. seems that kitkat is upping security with dm-verity on boot. Looks like modifying may get more complex in the near future. Everyone is worried about Samsung's Knox warranty flag but Google is trying to road block as well.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-taking-aim-at-device-modders-in-android-4-4-kitkat/

Thinking some s4 users should check this out as many here are concerned about Knox...

Edit: chainfire did his thing and rooted. I'd be interested to see if any errors come from apps gaining root access or whatnot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
I'd think those elements of 4.4 could be removed at the source code level for custom ROMs to be able to be installed on previously rooted devices. Or be bypassed in some way.

It's not an easy fix for developers, but I'd bet you it can be done.

As for exploiting devices that ship with 4.4 that's another story. But for clean installs of 4.4 ROMs on already rooted devices I'd bet this is doable.

And if not, Android and Google can bite me for wanting to be more like Apple and I'm sure the phone modder community will see a huge swift toward the Ubuntu mobile platform that never really got enough steam to get properly started due to the popularity of Android.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tylerholbrook:
Yeah, chainfire already has a oneclick root for the nexus 5 pre loaded with 4.4, so root is still achieved at least with nexus. Wondering though if 4.4 will get harder and harder with the bootloader and what not for phones like the galaxy series and note, guess time will tell but I'm going to do some research before I get my next phone loaded with 4.4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] atlharp:
When I ran the PA 4.4 build on the N7 (2012). Getting root was pretty easy. I also had no issues with running TB or any other rooted app. I am looking forward to more 4.4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brando56894:
I flashed 4.4 on my Gnex last night and gaining root was as easy as flashing the root zip.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tylerholbrook:
Wonder than what that article means than.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] crazy talk:
The article, and the issue point to a grim future for any phone besides a nexus that ships with KitKat. Unlocking these new devices such as the Galaxy S5 just got a whole lot more difficult.

what you can and cannot flash with a Nexus phone or anything else with an unlocked bootloader is irrelevant.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tylerholbrook:
That's what I was thinking, also official otas from carriers as well right? Aosp 4.4 builds should be alright? Since htc is getting kit kat should that shed any insight to where this is going?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Steve888:
Interesting
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] NRGZ28:
Yeah but what if you weren't able to use a custom recovery ? Would it be as easy then ?

Gaining root on a device with a locked bootloader is the real challenge. When you have an unlocked bootloader you can do what whatever you want pretty much...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brando56894:
It may make exploiting new phones harder (someone will definitely achieve it though), but any phone that is currently unlocked should be fine as this can easily be disabled in AOSP builds.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Coy:
I am using Blue Angel devices for enterprise purposes. Whenever a device crashes it must be reset automatically. I’m therefore in the process of developing a small external circuit that will reset the device whenever the PDA doesn’t transmit data on the serial port.

Is it possible to reset the PDA somehow using the bottom cradle? Alternatively I have to connect my external reset circuit to the internal reset button in the PDA, which I would like to avoid if possible.

Please comment…

Thanks guys!

Hi guys,

I recently replaced a broken star x920 screen+digitizer. The phone now works but there is an offset between where I touch and where the phone reacts, making it impossible to dial or to text properly. I tried to find a calibration option but couldn't. I also tried the engineer interface but couldnt understand if it has a touch calibration option or not. Please help.

I'm stuck with a 1.55 hboot it seems. I have S-off, but the bootloader is relocked. I'm desperately trying to unlock it again.

I've gotten my unlock token from htcdev, but I get an error.

fastboot gettoken Unlock_code.bin

returns

and doesn't give me the option to unlock the bootloader on the device. fastboot oem unlock returns the same error.

Can anyone help me out here?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
Mate, remove your IMEI and your S/N from op.

However, in the top of bootloader you will see relocked?

If yes, go in recovery and:

1) use the command:

adb shell[/url]
2) [code]su

3)

echo -ne "HTCU" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796

4)

exit

, probably you new type this x2

Now you will see unlocked in your bootloader and you can flash all you want :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XSafire:
Thanks a ton! I searched for hours and couldn't find a solution. That worked great.

What exactly is the code doing that I ran, if you wouldn't mind explaining it to me.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1234d:
Anyways, you were typing the wrong command.. it's actually fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
The code will change in that partition the string of unlocked, locked etc.

Now you have the unlocked string :)

Is better unlock without htcdev if you're s-offed ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1234d:
That's right ;) but anyways, just so that the OP knows what the mistake was.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishmoe:
I have an old multipad PMP3384B with seriously old and slow Android 2.3. I tried to update it following the process below and using a rooted image.

What you need:

-get Rockchip Batch Tool from HERE (contains USB drivers)

-get a firmware:

a) PMP3384BRU_20111206_V1.1.9_root -prerooted image, no other changes

b) PMP3384BRU_20111206_V1.1.9_root_607Mb_free - 607 MB for /data, prerooted, Golauncher, Gokeyboard, Adobe Reader, CoolReader, Dolphin browser HD, ButtonSaviour- only for RockChip Batch Tool flashing

How to flash:

1. fully charge your MultiPad

2. backup internal flash- it will be erased

3. unpack Rockchip Batch Tool and launch it as admin

4. press and hold Reset (on the back), plug USB cable, release Reset

5. there should be a popup asking for drivers- they are placed in Rockchip_Batch_Tool_v1.4\drivers\[windows version]. If there is no popup go to Device Manager and install drivers

6. load firmware .img file to Rockchip Batch Tool and click Update button

After I completed this process rockchip batch confirmed that the update was successful with no errors but I can no longer power up the tablet. I have tried the reset button but no joy. I also tried following the process again as the tablet is still being detected by Rockchip batch tool when plugged into my pc via usb. I'm downloading the original firmware from the prestigio site now so once that is done I will try restoring it.

Any other ideas would be much appreciated

EDIT : Problem resolved, reinstall of firmware from prestigio site worked.
