Is there anyone I can send my c500 to that can revive my dead Typhoon rather than sending it off to HTC Europe? I killed it via an incomplete rom flashing. Now it won't boot, won't turn on, nothing. The only sign of life is when I remove the battery and plug in the AC charger a red light illuminates for a millisecond... (sorry if this is the incorrect forum to post this)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
Hello fellow note 3 aficionados,

Strapped for cash (too many gifts to buy:() and strongly desiring a car mount/wireless charger I went ahead and made my own. Thought I'd share the project with you just incase anyone was thinking of doing the same.

I spent less than $20 since I had most of the materials laying around already.

Items required:

1. Generic qi charger pad

-I got this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E9MUNWU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

-It is pretty much the exact same size at the N3

-make sure to test which orientation to place it because when lined head to toe it only charged one way (had to move it higher the other way)

2. 3M cushioned double sided tape

3. Electrical tape

4. Corner braces

5. velcro (optional)

6. McGyverism (required)

A. First I covered the ends of the corner braces in nice rubbery electrical tape to avoid any rough edges.

B. Decided placement on the qi pad. Placement was based on leaving the volume buttons open, speaker open, headphone out open. Then double sided taped them to the back of the qi pad.

C. Wrapped the ends of the corner braces with just enough electrical tape to prevent the phone from slipping out while allowing it to be placed in, even held it upside and didn't come out, but still not hard to push in.

D. Chose placement in car. Placed double sided tape in desired location. I layered more on the bottom to give it an angle. Also had to stack some to accommodate for the horizontal angling of the dash. Placed some double sided tape on the back of qi pad to even out the back. Placed velcro on both the dash and pad, just incase I ever wanted to take it off. (optional) Probably will never have a reason to take it off unless my cassette adapter poos out on me. Wrapped some cords up, placed it on, and bam! car mount/wireless charger.

Finally, set up a tasker profile for bluetooth and driving mode. Tested functionality, performed perfectly. All done:D
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] h3ck:
Super nice man! I don't know if I missed this but how does it actually stay on the mount. It seems the brackets just extend straight out? Is there anything holding it in? Could you show a pic of how it sits on wireless charger?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
So I added extra electrical tape to the ends of the brackets, even held it upside to make sure it stays. It's also at a slight angle, so gravity haha.

Edit: Oh and I'll add some pics when someone gets home, no other camera :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
:good: Looks good. Where did you get the brackets or did I miss something?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
They actually just standard corner braces. Any hardware store should have them. I got them at lowe's for $2.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Great! I have a similar need and already have my pad - purchased with this intent. I knew I needed corners but hadn't figured it out yet. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Yoeltimeisup:
Or you can just velcro the wireless charger to the "AmazonBasics Universal Windshield and Dash Mount" (won't let me post link) and still save a lot of money. That's what I plan to do using the same wireless charger you did.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
The thought did cross my mind, it was the backup plan and even picked out this:

http://www.officedepot.com/a/produc...ooglepla_Technology+Phones_Accessories_637204

since it had both the dock and usb, but decided against because

1. It'd be nearly double the cost. Sure I'd still be saving still, but why spend double when I can do it myself with things lying around the house.

2. I wanted space directly behind the coils. The pad gets pretty warm over long periods of time (5 hour drives on the weekends) and placing it directly on other mounts wouldn't allow for air flow. Probably not the biggest deal, but less heat=more battery life.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
Here's the pics with the phone on. Sorry bout the blur, couldn't see it on the microscopic sheepPhone screen when I took it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darksideno1:
I was looking for ideas for car holder and I was found this thread. You gave me great idea how to make it.

Is there any problem with charging because you use metal corner braces?

I think to use a little silicone to glue the braces on the charger and use a rubber or foam to keep my phone on the position.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xm41907:
Old thread. Haha I'm working on making a magnetic wireless charger for the Note 3. i've got the Qi charger and waiting on some rare earth magnets to arrive in the mail, I can attach the Qi charger to my previous dash mount and it seems like it will fit perfectly with one magnet in each corner of the charger. I just need to get metal plates to go underneath my case.

Just wanted to say thanks for helping the cause.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Android Cowboy:
Well at least things are moving here. It's been so sad seeing no development on this thread. I have the KF HDX 7" and willing to offer mine for testing. I've been itching to see at a least root. I also did run the Bin4ry method and the restore reboots but doesn't do anything else.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] r3pwn:
Really? Unless that's new with the hdx, any backup/restore should work fine. Even if its files are corrupt.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:
Are you SURE? You know EXACTLY what is pushed in the desktop restore?

I am not familiar with KF Binary or First Aide backup/restore methods, but unless Binary is solely adding the necessary files for root, that could be disastrous. I find it hard to believe that is the case, considering how badly display & performance are affected during the previous HD versions desktop restore methods.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] r3pwn:
I have manually corrupted files and was able to send them to the device just fine. The restore option was not grayed out, but when you hit that button, it does nothing and just does not restore the data.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:
Be careful. I can tell you that I was at one point able to get the SU binary into a temp folder & copied into xbin, however, when I tried to get bb over as well, the device rebooted & I have not been able to get any ADB connection since. I have reset & removed devices, used different pc's & even factory reset the HDX. After four hours I cannot get any ADB access period.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] stunts513:
You try using a terminal on the kindle and manually restarting the adbd service? I'm not aware of if you need root access to do so but maybe you can get some debugging output or just get it working in general by tinkering with this. For reference try something like

stop adbd
start adbd

Edit: also at this point you technically are rooted, I'm not sure if u have to have an apk to interface with the su binary, but after trying to help my friend root his Alcatel phone (don't get me started), the thing is rooted but while trying to get it switched from using supersu to superuser I believed superuser isn't functioning but we still have root access, and I don't believed superuser is in the/system/app directory, so point being, if u can sideload superuser and es file explorer you might be able to fix the situation if busy box caused the problems.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] goodayoo:
good to hear this, hope the rooting method coming out soon!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:
Yeah, I've tried just about everything I've ever seen or done to resolve abd issues since 2007. Still a no go. Going to give usb otg a try. Otherwise it's RMA & start over. While the SU binary is in place, I still cannot access it. Calls to SU or trying to open the SU app cause an instantaneous FC & reboot.

I'll tell you though, I really like the tablet. Awesome display & the SD800 w/Adreno 330 flat out rocks. This is totally what the Nexus 10 should have been.

I've also been able to determine that Motorola is the OEM. There are Motorola backup files native to the device at least. I am also going to run this weekend & pick up a 1k transistor, to make a Motorola factory fastboot cable, since I gave mine away with an Xperia tablet. With the factory cable, I should be able to issue fastboot commands. That may enable me to devise a BL unlock.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] r3pwn:
How are you sure that you got it into xbin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DuffmasterFresh:
I reformatted my phone because it was buggy, in fact it was buggy the day I bought it. But, now it is much better... except I forgot that there was ONE file I need, a voice recorder file. Even though the phone has been formatted back to open box new condition, is there any way I can scan it and get that file back, similar to how you can on computers? Even though I am in USB debugging mode, none of my data recovery programs can detect my android phone. Thank you.

I downloaded a program called "Samsung Data Recovery Pro" and it is useless and probably gave me a ton of viruses.
[G2 General] tay777:
My question goes to ROM developer. If we can make a flash-able zip files to install or modify files, why can we not only flash the updated files when ROM developers update their ROM?

For example the normal process is:

-Find ROM your like

-Download and flash full ROM(some LG G2 Roms are 1 gig in size)

-New update comes out

-Download full 1 gig ROM again and flash again

why can we not go

-Find ROM

-Download and flash full ROM

-New update comes out

-Download only the updated files (most likely a few MB's only)

-Flash them

Note: I am not a ROM developer so I do not know all the technical aspects that goes into making a ROM. This is why I am asking why something like this is not possible or we just don't do it.
[G2 General] player911:
Some roms do support incremental updates. The G2 roms probably aren't that stable yet.

We're just now starting to see an more and more custom 4.4 roms (even on the Nexus 5). Most were typically based off stock.

Once they get stuff ironed out, you should start to see some smaller updates.

1gb roms do sound unnecessary

-sent from my LG G2 using XDA Premium 4
[G2 General] tay777:
Thanks. I was really wondering about that. So it is possible, it is just up to the developer.
[G2 General] fryguy:
I may be really off base here. But from past phones and roms it seems that some updates only work really well when built into the Rom. Some have used SVN to put out updates and then you build the Rom with the small update you download. I believe it all depends on how deep the update goes. Looking forward to see how far we can go with this phone. Tomorrow is my 14th day so I guess its a keeper.
[G2 General] R3Z3N:
CyanDelta does what you are asking for Cyanogenmod.
[G2 General] DHM078:
Consider this. A developer creates a ROM. You download and install it. Then, the developer wants to update it. If he uses a small incremental update, you can download and flash it. Then when it is updated again, you just flash the next update, and so on.

This is all fine and dandy, if you downloaded the ROM from the very beginning, prior to any updates.

If you find the ROM a few weeks or a month or whatever into development, it will likely have gotten at least a few updates. But in order to get to the latest stuff, you would have to download that first build, flash that, and then individually download and flash every update that has been released for that ROM until it is up to date. That is a pain.

If the developer just releases a whole new build for each update, both new and old users can flash it and be on the most current version of the ROM. Yes, it is a bigger file to download, but it saves quite a lot of headaches. Both for the developer and for the end users. Especially if a re-flash is necessary for some reason.

Or, the developer could do both, and create a whole new build, and a small update for the current users. But that would make for a big mess of files to keep and maintain, and could be confusing to make sure the right one is downloaded. Just creating all those updates and ROM builds and writing all the installation scripts sounds like a big pain to me. It's generally simpler to just build the ROM. Still, it does happen.

Just my thoughts, and I am not a ROM developer, so please correct me if I am mistaken about something.
[G2 General] x714x:
Its a pain plain and simple. Who wants to look at hases to see if a lib changed and stuff. Its also simply more reliable to just keep each base its own then to start merging the two.
[G2 General] UnskilledOne:
Can anyone tell me why are there roms up of to 1gb in size and yet most are just 200mb more or less. :confused:
[G2 General] KB112:
Usually AOSP ROMs are going to be small. When you start to add in LGs ui, features, provider rubbish etc, they climb in size. Most of my Galaxy Note II ROMs were huge. My TWRP back ups would be around 3GB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] deon7388:
Hey guys,

I have looked around for the solution to this but can't find one.

Starting out rooted, I updated my phone to SkyNote 4.3 (not sure if that helps) and still had root for a minute. I went through the process of setting up the phone how I like it, and after a few restarts, the root went away. This has happened twice. I've read posts where people talked about Android 4.3 deleting root but here's where the story gets interesting:

The threads/posts that people are pointing to to fix it is pretty much centered around Chainfire's post on Google+ https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/Jkuu84odnx6 .

The difference between the similar posts are that Chainfire has updated the version over the months. I have tried flashing that update zip over and over but I still have no root and the SU app is still buried in my system/app folder, which of course I can't delete because I have no root. I guess my questions are does anyone know how to delete this system/app apk for SU without wiping and starting from another ROM or know how to correct it in general?

Thanks you guys for reading.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] deon7388:
Thanks, I didn't think about that, but because of my unique situation, I couldn't even get 1click to recognize my phone. So after searching more and more, the answer is exactly what I was doing but a more updated SU zip. It's in the second post of SkyNote 4.3 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46798454&postcount=2

That may help another Android 4.3 ROM user :cowboy:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] StevieG_007:
I have the exact same issue with my SGH_I317M. I rooted with CF-Root, flashed TWRP, flashed Skynote 4.3, flashed the update, flashed the Rogers modem and flashed the WIFI fix all with ODEN. Everything works. Even WIFI. But I lost Root. I made 2 full backups with TWRP. 1st. right after flashing TWRP still with 4.1.2 ROM and the 2nd after flashing 4.3 and all the patches. When I restore back to 4.1.2 all is good. When I restore to 4.3 Skynote, I loose Root. I tried flashing the SuperUser Update but it fails. Any help would be much appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] deon7388:
My last comment should help. When you flash the update, make sure it's the one from the post above. It carries the latest SU. If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what to do, but it worked for me because the SU binaries want to update but it needs the correct one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] StevieG_007:
Thank you Deon. I was reading this thread yesterday using the XDA app on my mobile for the first time. I downloaded the updated binary from this thread using my mobile. After several install failures I opened propertie for the zip and discovered it was empty. I downloaded the update from the OP through my PC, transferred the file to my SD and now all is good again with my root. CHEERS!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] doran10:
Is there any chance that flashing the zip on ChainFire's page will brick your phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
It won't brick your phone its pretty hard to trust me lol I used cf auto root tho
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnad:
Is there any way to install carrier exclusive apps on non-carrier phones? I'm not talking about OEM exclusive apps, but carrier exclusive ones.

For example I want to install AT&T Locker on my Lumia, but I'm not in the US, let alone on AT&T.

Can this be done?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Yeah, same proxy technique as for OEM apps...
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnad:
I tried Reker's proxy: 117.135.139.179, and also another one: 103.13.29.118.

I could freely install OEM apps, but not that AT&T Locker one.

What else can I try?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
You have to actually create your own proxy rules. It should be pretty obvious what part of the URL specified from your phone is the MO identifier; you just have to change that to another MO. (For example, T-Mobile USA uses "TMO-US" and Rogers Canada uses "ROG-CA"; I think AT&T uses "ATT-US".) Those "public" proxies are only aimed at the OEM apps, since normally the MO apps aren't worth anything to people who don't use that MO.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnad:
Thanks a lot. After meddling a bit with Fiddler2, I finally managed to install that AT&T Locker app. It fu**ed up anyway, opened fine but crashed at login. Guess it's not my luck.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thals1992:
Yeah, I can understand that Fiddler isn't the easiest thing to run... Are you using my app to install AT&T Locker or are you using the direct URL? Also after you got it installed, is it requiring an AT&T SIM or something?

Oh, another thought... What device are you using? This app actually has some provxml stuff that gets deployed on Lumia devices.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnad:
I have a Lumia (1020). So what I did was using the Auto-responder function to capture the URL then redirect it. I changed product code to a 1020 AT&T (dm=RM-877_nam_att_205), change carrier to AT&T (moId=ATT-US). I accessed it with IE using the direct URL (bookmarked in advance). I think it worked fine, since it did display the install button.

When I opened the app, it displayed a signup/login window. After enter my credentials and hit login, it crashed, and kept crashing when I tried to access back to the app. Had to remove and reinstall. Then I tried to signup for a new account, it still crashed and crashed. From my laptop, I can login fine.

I didn't see anything on the app that said it requires an AT&T sim. But since I'd changed moID to AT&T, it should be tricked into thinking my sim is AT&T isn't it? And I did keep the proxy on all the time. If you can install and run it fine, could you give me some instructions about how you did it? Like what and how parameters should be changed?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thals1992:
I actually have only ran it on my 520, not even on my 928 yet... I just know it needs extra privileges once installed, as it shows up inside the Tier3 list. Check on your phone if its in that list if you can.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnad:
I'm a little confused here. It sure requires an OEM level restricted capability, which is ID_CAP_MEDIALIB_PHOTO_FULL, I think, so we cannot sideload it. But since I'm installing it from the store, it should be okay, isn't it? Like we can use proxy method to install Nokia Camera which obviously has this capability.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thals1992:
The app installs from the store, but the provxml that's inside might not be executed. Usually you can launch Tier3 using the dial string to check if it's fully installed. You can find the code in the WP8 Diagnostics thread in my sig.

EDIT: Never mind... I thought this app had one and it doesn't. I'll need to look at the xap to investigate...

Those ATIV S devices are looking to be more and more useful...

Hey guys. I was just asking if overclocking my hd2 is good or bad? Pros and con's?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Personally, I think it's bad to overclock your device.

Pros:

-Faster device.... (that's all I could think of)

Cons:

- More battery consumption.

- Chance of failure (I'm only assuming this, because the device was not built to run at higher clocks, but I haven't seen any device failing from it)

At the end of my device's life cycle, I overclocked it because I knew I was changing it very soon.

Hi guys -- new to this phone, which i bought unlocked and rooted.

I tried to flash CM 11, and had the zip files on the external sd. When installing the ROM, I get a set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed E: error in .......d2vzwzip (Status 7) Installation aborted error. (Are you only supposed to install from internal SD?)

I now can't get past the Recovery 6.0.1.2 touch interface, and have no backups. I also can't get my phone to connect to PC via USB, even after installing Samsung drivers. Im sure this has been answered elsewhere, but any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.
