Tried to flash but still showing MDL. Check my build.prop to make sure it said jfltetmo hoping there was a check at the install.. any ideas? Running latesthyperdrive
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gdmlaz:
If I wouldn't have flashed them via odin later i would have given this a try...... This deff makes people life easier :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] omnifarious:
did it error out or did it complete the flash?

Currently it uses package_extract to a /tmp dir then extracts the bin to the proper partition. Anyone expireced enough to know if its ok to "write_raw" to the partition like with a kernel?

assert(package_extract_file("Omnifarious/modem.bin", "/tmp/modem.bin"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/modem.bin", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2"),
delete("/tmp/modem.bin"));

and

assert(package_extract_file("Omnifarious/NON-HLOS.bin", "/tmp/NON-HLOS.bin"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/NON-HLOS.bin", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1"),
delete("/tmp/NON-HLOS.bin"));

Can I change it to:

assert(write_raw_image("Omnifarious/modem.bin", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2"));
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vicvon:
I flashed in twrp. Said it flashed successful but baseband didn't change.

Try wiping dalvik & cache after flash & before reboot. Might work.

He says it's not possible.

I will try with write_raw_image instead of extracting to a /tmp folder.

NEW FILES UPLOADED to test "write_raw_image"

(I'm still waiting for the odin image to finish dling. Hotfile is so slow for me...)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jordin1128:
I'll be the pig...if you dont hear from ke in 20 minutes then it probably didnt work (just in case I have to revert back to stock when I get home)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
How about Odin flashible?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gdmlaz:
those are the ones I used and worked perfect
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jordin1128:
No luck..status 7 error and aborted...installing thru odin now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] omnifarious:
Thanks for your effort. I'll pull the files. The 2 bin files listed a few posts back were the ones I used. You can flash those thru odin/mobile odin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i was able to get them to flash and update successfully by just pasting both .bin files into Odin.

i did NON-HLOS.bin first. leave auto reboot unticked. when it finishes, hold power so your device turns off. boot back into download mode. now flash modem.bin with auto reboot ticked. that worked for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] omnifarious:
I've been having the same issue on the latest [TW-ROM-MultiDpi][23.11.2013] X-NOTE build 2.0 Freedom Ed. I9505 MK8 android 4.3. Everything was fine till I flash both files. Data doesn't drop, but voice doesn't work. My wifi was fine however.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gdmlaz:
Yeap everything works perfect xcept u cant make or receive phone calls..... kind of a big deal lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] omnifarious:
Imagine all the pissed off T-Mobile customers who don't know about flashing and can't dial 611. LOL :laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pinan:
Thank you, mrvirginia. Worked great, and the fastest radio so far for me. 37Mb down. Never see that before. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gdmlaz:
I wonder if is doing this in the OFFICIAL VERSION ?THE OTA version ??? or just us that have flashed the modem separately..... I'm going to try to find out with people that have flashed this THE OFFICIAL OTA.... Btw do you have the MDL modems to flash ????

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

have you tried making phone calls tho ? :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Seems like a bootloader check to me.. And about installing via CWM, youre prolly gonna have to use busybox and dd.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gdmlaz:
have you made any phone calls ???

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

This seems to be our problem GREAT...... they just don't make it easy for us
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] omnifarious:
Check OP for link to MDL modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pinan:
Yup. Works fine. :) :p

I just realized/read that this could be a problem. It wasn't for me. I usually make VoIP calls anyway, but tested the cell line too. NP.

~~

The more I read, the odder this is. No kidding guys. Phone works fine for me.

Running omnifarious's ROM, odin'ed modem files as per mrvirginia. Done. Tested several times now. ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
right now the new modem is causing issues with my Google Play Edition ROM. there is no sound via speaker. i went back to MDL and sound was back. very very strange.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pinan:
Interesting. I just tested incoming also and it's fine.

I have MDL on my SD card just in case, but so far MK2 just works.

:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
tested incoming call on what?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lavell7298:
I'm considering flashing the new modem via Odin when I get home from work. Based on the fact that I'm running Wicked v7 ROM (TW 4.2.2), can I assume that I won't run into any of the issues that have been discussed in this thread so far?

I just want to be absolutely sure that everything will be okay before I proceed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
you can always Odin back to MDL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pinan:
? The phone. I had only tested outgoing calls.

Just to outline what I did, I followed what you posted, but did not understand that you "copy and pasted the files into odin", so I simply check marked "Phone", then browsed to NON-HLOS.bin and ran it, leaving Auto Reboot unticked. Rebooted back into Download Mode, then I browsed to Modem.bin and ran it. I forgot to tick Auto Reboot so I shut off the phone using the Power button, then rebooted. All is well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tylerholbrook:
Pretty sure he meant what rom. 4.3, 4.2.2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
what i was asking was if you tested the speaker phone on a GPE ROM after installing the new modem

edit: nvm, this has been confirmed via another thread. the LTE portion of the new baseband breaks sound via speaker. i think i'll stick with good 'ol MDL for now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] omnifarious:
What ROM are you on and do you mean to say that you didn't reboot in between flashes?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pinan:
As I stated on the last page, your 4.3 ROM (Deo Slim v1.2). ;)

And yes, I did reboot between flashes. Sorry for leaving that out. I will edit now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lavell7298:
How are you guys able to flash the .bin files through Odin when Odin is asking for .tar and .md5 files?

EDIT: I kept clicking PDA instead of Phone. Flashing now...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gdmlaz:
I flashed the latest 4.3 official rom got it up and working was able to flash CWM without a problem just can't figure out how to get root..... So I guess I'll just wait till you push out the official 4.3 rom and flash it since my CWM works perfect and i have the right bootloader and modems now :D Don't really care about my warranty so is fine lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dcd1182:
so i know this is shut down now but to answer your question that wont work, i dont know why but have tried it

you can use dd or here is a known good mdl zip i made a while back to revert when i was testing other things

i stole the flash_image binary from mako guys

i need to update this to include apnhlos, and we should write to /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/<partition> but you can do that if you are still playing with this.

[HTC One Max] xxdakyddwestxx:
I will be getting the boom bass and the power jacket and the Mimi plus in about maybe another week. Won all of it from the HTC Elevate meet up in Los Angeles 2 weeks ago so just waiting for them to ship it to me. So once I get it I'll answer any questions. I hand some hands on time with both already at the even any questions? I might be able to answer now.
[HTC One Max] meezy2400:
Very nice. But I'm planning on getting one I've seen reviews on utube. Do u think it gives a nice amount of bass and battery life
[HTC One Max] xxdakyddwestxx:
Yea it handles the bass very well give the music more depth. As far as battery life Idk because I only seen it at an event but I did hear the dude saying around 7 or so hours. And it was very loud at the event and the bass played through very the crowd very well. But like I said now much hands on with it.
[HTC One Max] Walkamo:
Boom Bass and Battery Case

I have both the Boom Bass and the battery flip case.

I love the flip case. I can easily go a couple of days without charging my phone with moderate use. I just got back from Japan and used the Max instead of my nexus 7 on the plane. I watched about 8 hours of movies (5 movies) with headphones and around 60% screen brightness. When I landed at LAX I still had 54% battery left.

I was very impressed and with the larger screen size I am finding it hard to keep my Nexus 7.

The Boom Bass is kind of cool. It does not appear to be crossed over at the right frequency. You can still hear some of the mid-range coming from the Boom Bass. Don't get me wrong in the hotel room it really made it to where I do not need to carry my Jambox anymore. Just wished it sounded a little bit better.

I am not sure of the battery life of the Boom Bass (They claim 9 hours). I used it for about an hour every morning in my hotel room for 5 days. Never had to recharge during the trip.

Walkamo
[HTC One Max] meezy2400:
Wow sounds nice we're did u buy the boombass and the flip case don't se it available on HTC website yet
[HTC One Max] Walkamo:
Got them both from the HTC UK website. The flip case from the UK comes with a stylus holder which I cut off since I don't use a stylus..

A little bit more expensive, however I had a visa gift card leftover from my birthday...

They gave me a bose mini speaker, and some other stuff when i got my one max, turned in my old razr for the edge program.
[HTC One Max] meezy2400:
That's dope like the wireless speaker. But I'll check out that website thanks. I ended up getting 64gb class 10 sdcard few cases and 3 packs of screen protectors. And Sprint sold me a 30$ bodyglove and I got 7 items on Amazon for 55$
[HTC One Max] seventwozero:
How did you score a deal like that?!
[HTC One Max] keith843:
Actually went to buy phone at full retail. Said i was elligible for upgrade through edge if i turned my razr in. I dont even have the razr anymore. So he was determined not to sell me this phone at retail. Talked to his manager and said for me to buy out contract and start me on edge. He started pulling 3 cases screen protectors car charger and extra house charger, beats pill, bose speaker. I was like i dont usually buy accessories from vzw(too expensive). Told me it came with the phone. All together i paid $342.00 for everything.
[HTC One Max] akastixx:
I was thinking about getting an official stylus. I'm glad there is a slot. Did they address the issue of being able to properly prop the phone up due to weight unlike the regular sized one?
[HTC One Max] meezy2400:
Amazon.com
[HTC One Max] Walkamo:
The case worked as a stand for me without much issue. If you let the phone slide down too much it does fall flat. I was able to get a good angle sitting on the plane food tray that worked fine for several hours straight....

The extra battery life is what I really like about the case.......

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiijordends:
Hi evryone,

I would realy like to update my Galaxy Note 2 N7100 international to Android 4.3 but their are some things that needs to done because I want to get rid off the KNOXbootloader and somethings need to be done first.

Firstly, I want to get rid off that Samsung Knox bootloader because I can't root safety with that KNOX bootloader thing.

+

I want to keep download mode and recovery mode.

I don't want a custom rom. I want an official ROM that still can receive official OTA updates and can show by about Divice/ status 'normal'!

Secondly, Their are two mod I realy want because the official update don't get Note 3 functions.

But the first mod talks about deodex and my rom is odexed. And the official update will also be odexed.

Can I still perform this mod? and how? I realy want this new functions so badly. (pen window, air comand, scrapbook, new S Note,...)

The second link is a mod/port for the Galaxy S4. But the Note 2 also works on Android 4.3. Is this mod compatible?

Note3 apps: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2467810

Note 3 camera: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2498390

To keep it short

I want my Note running on the official android 4.3 update without the KNOX bootloader + the Note 3 app port mod that still can receive official OTA updates and won't increase the flash and KNOX counter +Note 3 camera.

How can I do this?

My Note is currently still on 4.1.2 but the update arrives very soon to my country.

My Note is the Samsung Galaxy Note N7100 international (NO brand like AT&T or Voda Phone, just the normal international)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
You don't want custom ROM? You want official and then make it custom? If you mod it, it is CUSTOM, not official. Official is only when you flash OFFICAL ROM and then maybee root and install Xposed, anything else you do is CUSTOM.

Not to mention that there already is (are) custom ROM(s) that have everything you want.

And if you MODIFY stock ROM, you just CAN'T HAVE OTAs. I'm not sure you can have OTAs on Samsung even if you're rooted. I can have OTA on Nexus when I'm rooted, but no OTAs even on Nexus which is PURE GOOGLE if you modify ANYTHING in the system....

Basically what you're saying is "I want to have s*x, but I want to remain a virgin"... not possible.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
agreed with dalanik.

:)

1.

You want official Android 4.3 without KNOX bootloader ? ==> A : impossible, all the official 4.3 sure come with new bootloader (the current 4.3 released at sammobile). This is what I know. You want without KNOX bootloader ? use the custom ROM, There's 1 UEMK4 Knox free under N7100 Android development.

2.

To be able to receive Samsung's OTA, you will need a normal system status, not modified. In order to get this, you should stay at the official ROM, with a stock kernel, stock recovery, un-rooted. Once you root / change kernel / ROM, your status automatically change to Modified, with a rise in flash counter, and OTA is a no way for you.

3.

If you want a port apps from Note 3 on your Note 2, so far from what I read, it will need a root & CWM/TWRP to flash the mod/ported apps, because it will come in a zip CWM/TWRP flashable file. Or if you want to make it easy, you just flash a custom ROM, but you will need custom recovery (CWM/TWRP), and you can forget about the OTA.

And to make it simple, my friend...

if your phone is N7100, why is there a need for you to receive OTA? There are a lot custom ROM floating around on N7100 android development which you can try to use, compare to the device that I own (N7105).

That's my opinion, you may stick to what you want if you like. :fingers-crossed:

Sent from the corner of this rounded earth.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiijordends:
Well my Galaxy Note II is already rooted and I have already done some mods in the past like hot audio mod and sound+,... I stil can receive OTA updates by using an app called framaroot. I simply tick UNROOT in the app, restart my device and download the OTA update. After the update I reopen framaroot and choose to root again. In download mode everything stays official and my flash counter stays 0.

By official rom, I mean a tandard samsung rom. The standard Samsung rom where I can perform all my mods on and still can official OTA update and if you look in download mode, were's everything said Samsung official and flash counter 0 instead of custom.

By custom roms I mean the Ditto rom, the famous Cyanomogen rom etc.

their was a file to flash with ODIN that disable the KNOX bootloader but it's for a N7100 at&t edition and not for the N7100 international.

oh and an extra Question. Can the pre release version of Sammobile galaxy note 2 N7100 android 4.3 (open Asia )(you know that famous leak from a +-2 months ago)

still can receive OTA updates?
[Moto X Q&A] thedude59:
I was playing around on my girlfriends at&t moto x and really really liked the phone, the feel of it, the os, I am still on an old 3g unlimited plan and want a new phone, so I'm really looking into the developer edition, only thing is that I am on Verizon at the moment and I could possibly move to alaska in the distant future where there is no Verizon. Is it possibly to buy the at&t gsm developer moto x and activate it on Verizon for the moment? From my findings on Google it seems like the at&t version is a better choice, so does anyone have any knowledge about switching carriers?

[Moto X Q&A] kzoodroid:
You can't activate a GSM Moto X on Verizon, they lack the CDMA chip needed for calling. Verizon did sell world phones like the Rezound that can work on a limited basis on a GSM network as well as their own.

I use DVD Catalyst to convert movies to playable MP4s on my HD+, but the audio quality is always pretty terrible. Specifically with headphones in, all I can really hear is bass. This is a big PITA on an airplane, and sometimes I just can't hear the main characters speaking at all. Have you guys experienced this and found any way around it, perhaps an EQ app that allows you to turn the bass down? TIA
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdcatalyst:
There are a couple of options in DVD Catalyst you can use to adjust.

Go into (enable Power User) Global Settings and select the Tweaks tab.

In there you can turn off "Maximize Volume", which can help, or enable AC3 DRC.

Hello,

I would like to upgrade to the latest rom version of my magian and there is pleanty of rom named WWE

Thanks very much
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
When you reset your device, you can see your current rom version in the lower right corner of the splash. More easily to find it under start -> settings -> system -> Device Information. You'll probably have the most recent version 1.13.

- WWE is an English language rom (not necessarily UK)

- DE is a German language rom

- ITA Italien

- SPA Spanish

- CHS Chinese

- BRA Brazilien

.....

Changing the language means you'll need maupgradeut_noid to avoid errors. For a complete description pls visit the wiki, top right link on the page & go to the magician section & then read the howto's.

Hey guys.

Due to the thread closing by OP's instructions on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2422404, I've decided to continue the discussion on this thread as everyone else who was getting help on there (including myself) now can't because of that.

The idea is to help each other as the original thread's intentions were, regardless of our expertise and knowledge, because it is well-known that every small contribution can be helpful for a device or another, with enough knowledge :)

Just like the original thread, post your problems and solutions related to the MT6577 chipset, including porting from MT6589/MT6573/etc. devices. Politely and nicely, please.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] darkguy2008:
I will start with a question I've had for a few days: Does anyone know what are the binaries and files which control the battery metering/values? In my port, I'm having a problem where a reboot takes around 20% battery, and even if the phone is with 1% remaining, it can last as much as if it has 20% remaining or something. Mine is a port of the Lenovo 4.2.2 ROM.

Any ideas? :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
As an note i closed it due to spamm.

(and The thread was cleaned at least 2 times)

For an base port, the info is all there.

Also The tools for port i.e.: to patch kernel ramdisk, its here on xda, an simple search will point you to that. Or you can simple use The Kitchen to extract your zlimage and replace the one in my boot.IMG as my ramdisk is already patched for 4.2.2 , and thats The one i used to patch everyones boot.img when someone requested me.

Also theres already an 2nd thread about MT6577 porting to 4.2.2

And there are fixs that are device dependent, people must understand that, and it will require work and debugging from their side!

As i said this is for advance users only, if people cant work with something simple as ADB, they shouldnt try this port.

Regarding your question, thats an known old Android bug.

The battery Stats frozing. Usually wiping cache and Dalvik fixs it for some time.

And after an ROM change you should always recalibrate your battery.
