hard to tell, what your friend did.

but exploit is not fixed in any android firmware with kernel version [ 3.0 ... 3.4.4 ] - so this tool as any other, based on get_user/set_user problems, should work.
[Xperia Z Android Development] xIceCream:
Method 1 works,

method 2 doesnt work for me.

I tried method 2 first tho. but didnt work, so i go for method 1, and it works. thanks for sharing

This amounts to theft of work/code/etc at this point. vroot and kingroot paid an exploit developer for the right to distribute it. IE its piracy
[Xperia Z Android Development] Tijmen:
This is piracy, this exploit was licensed to vroot and kingroot from an exploit developer and you can't just steal his work.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrono_trigger:
I was going through the Kindle fire android development forum and I found a new Kit Kat rom posted over there.

As per my understanding, the main hurdle in Kit Kat development for Nook HD and HD+ is the availability of TI OMAP drivers. (correct me if I am wrong)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2543481

Would ^ help development of a Kit Kat based rom for our Nooks ?

Or am I being too optimistic.

I would love to hear what others think about that.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laofan:
It depends on whether our great developer [MENTION=3654172]verygreen[/MENTION] has the time to work on it or not.

Anyway, I am very happy with cm10.2 right now. Everything is fast and smooth. Wifi has been fixed. Trim issue finally settled down.

But more rom would be better :D
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrono_trigger:
Yup. CM 10 is smooth and stable enough, thanks to the developers here !!

However, it would be nice to have the features of Kitkat on our nooks which would make it lag free ( as per the advertising !! )

This is a bit out of place, but, you mentioned that the trim issue has been settled. Has it been settled for the nooks that have a faulty memory controller as well ?

I looked through the forums but couldn't find a reliable solution to the problem. Could you direct me to the correct thread ?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpisini:
No if you have a device with faulty memory don't run trim. A few people are doing it but until hey have done it for several months there is not enough data to say this is fixed. If you have plenty of money or an extended warranty feel free to try it out otherwise you could lose your device.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laofan:
jpisini is Correct.

[MENTION=5428934]chrono_trigger[/MENTION] you need to find out if your nook has the faulty chip.

Here is the thread you could read

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2528009

If you have time, read the Cm10.2 thread.. The 05 chip is a faulty one.

if you happen to have the faulty one, do not run trim. I have a 06 chip but I don't run trim or flash trim kernel by myself.

Because my device is fast enough and I could not tell there is any bad lag in daily usage.

If you experience very bad lags wit your nook HD+, you could do a backup, run into CWM and restore the backup. Some people suggest it could be a good alternative to go
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrono_trigger:
[MENTION=4357342]jpisini[/MENTION] Yes, I do have the Nook HD+ with the faulty emmc. I run trim only once in a while by flashing CM 10.2 with the lagfix kernel now. I have decided not to migrate to CM 10.2 now since I am pretty happy with CM 10.1.3.

[MENTION=4314948]laofan[/MENTION] I would be happy to help in CM 11 development for Nook in anyway I can. I have never developed a rom on my own before. However, I am sure it would be a great learning experience, regardless of its outcome.

Thank you for your replies !!!
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevethegreat:
To my experience KitKat is possibly the greatest move Google ever did towards better performance. 4.3/CM10.2 supposed to be such a move too, but KitKat (4.4) does not compare it's many time better/faster. Wherever I have installed it (in old devices of mine I mean) it almost universally solved the memory issues for the most part finally making the devices usable (I even have one with less than 300 megs total running great with Kitkat, before it was a lagfest, or shall I say a freakshow).

Our Nooks suffer from low memory (among other things), as long as OMAP chips are bad overclockers we're not going to get more performance out of hardware at least we can get it though software and in all honesty I can't wait for 4.4 to come to our devices, it's one of the slowest 2012 (relatively) high profile devices (our nooks) sadly, kitkat may change this. It can't come any sooner me thinks...
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laofan:
cm10.2 is coming to the stable version soon. cm11 is not far away. I am as excited as you are!

let's see more creativity:cool:
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrono_trigger:
Yes, Cm 10.2 stable release is just round the corner.

Cyanogenmod is almost lag-free. However, I do experience some lag in scrolling in applications like playstore and soundcloud etc. Would a Kit kat upgrade make the applications lag free as well ?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laofan:
I think so.

For now maybe you could try different settings in I/O scheduler and Processor( in Performance settings)

I set cpu governer tointeractive, with frequency 800~1500

I/O is deadline
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrono_trigger:
Thanks for the tip !! It does make my Nook function smmothly in general. However, the lag in the mentioned applications is still present. Perhaps that has something to do with the applications themselves.

However, what is the impact of setting the minimum frequency at 800 Mhz on the battery backup ?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laofan:
[MENTION=5428934]chrono_trigger[/MENTION]

maybe it would consume more battery drain on 800 than lower ones, but I could hardly notice it on my device.

I usually charge it over night, while most of the time it could last two days with medium usage.

You could also try turn down your screen brightness , and if not in use turn off wifi. They are using much mooooooooore battery then the 800 cpu.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrono_trigger:
All right !! :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reignlight:
I also would love 4.4 on the nook HD to go with my nexus 5. I've been spoiled now and may dump it for a nexus 7 otherwise...
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youngunn2008:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Babysaur:
Hello everyone, I hope you guys can shed some light here, I would really appreciate it. I searched the forum and found a workaround for the IMEI problem that did not work for me. And I found nothing regarding the noise during calls, so I decided to post to get some help.

Problem 1

I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000B from Brazil unlocked from the store. Three days ago I decided to update my system (2.2) to the CM10.0.0 (4.1.2). After much sweat and hassle I discovered how do it properly, so I flashed 2.3.3 and then CM10 and it seemed to work properly until I found out my IMEI had been corrupted. I tried the solution I found but it didn't work because on step #5 I don't find the file named ".nv_data", just "nv_data.bin.md5". I tried copying just the other but in the end it doesn't change my IMEI back. I still have a generic IMEI but it is not affecting the signal of my phone, I can still make and receive calls. When I flash android 2.2 it restores my IMEI. I don't really care that much about my IMEI, I just worry about the possibility of it causing the scratch noise.

Problem 2

My other problem is that I keep getting these really loud and intermittent scratch noises during calls after flashing CM10. Right now I am using a dutch SIM for I live in the netherlands. Maybe that is important to mention. But I had been using android 2.2 here all along with no problems. After CM10 I get these sudden short bursts of noise during my calls. The other person can barely hear it but I hear it loudly. It's really annoying. I have no idea what is causing it or how I can fix it.

Can you guys help me out with this one?!

Thank you,

Henry

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jjwatmyself:
All us AT&T MF3 (4.2.2) users on here are still craving a custom recovery, I have been following posts very carefully, hoping that there may one day be some light at the end of the tunnel.

With the MK2 update released for AT&T users, a copy of the zip was taken from /cache/fota and posted as a download, linked below on a post by pvtolson at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2498897. This can apparently be loaded with adb sideload, without loss of user data.

So, I downloaded this and had a look at the contents.

I see this zip has an update recovery script. recovery-from-boot.p is the name of the recovery file included.

Is this a potential avenue for injecting a custom recovery into the update in place of recovery-from-boot.p?

What do we already know that would potentially brick or not brick an MF3 phone when loading a custom recovery?

Can a stripped down version of this zip be used in order to use adb sideload to push a custom recovery to a MF3 phone?

Can recovery-from-boot.p be modified to include custom recovery functionality?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] upndwn4par:
You can already install a custom recovery on MF3. It's called SafeStrap.

The problem for MF3 and later is that there is not bootloader unlock / exploit, so SS is the only option ATM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jjwatmyself:
Yes, that's what I use, albeit, with the limitations that come along for the ride.

Thanks for the feedback on the bootloader.

Without a bootloader unlock, is a custom recovery in place of the native recovery of any value?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
Due to the checks on the bootloader and checks during the update, I am pretty sure that even if you could put it on and keep the signature it would be to no effect other than having no bootable recovery.

By the way, just a bit about me if anyone is wondering who the heck i am.

Im an experienced hacker and app developer for android devices. For the past 2 years i have been using the very problematic LG Thrive, which takes more work to make the roms work, than to bring the moon down to earth! My device is almost dead so i bought the HTC First. Ive been rooting and hacking android devices for many people including teachers at school and friends.

This is a totaly new device for me, and is a bit more complicated to root. Im going to try super one click on it ad see how it goes, or maybe z4root. Because i really dont feel like unlocking the darn bootloader and doing everything manually. As soon as i get it all done i will be posting a tutorial on my blog and here on xda for the new comers. Thats just what i usualy do.

Thanks for accepting me into your community guys.

Once I'm done with it all, I'll see if CM will be willing to accept it and make it an officially maintained device.

[HTC First] russian392:
i found another correlation with the HTC One Mini and the HTC First

the Snapdragon 400 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)#Snapdragon_400

take a look at the screenshot attached here.

1. this means we are capable of overclock beyond 1.7 GHz, so 2 ghz could be possible

2. that means if anything we can just use drivers from the Mini if anything

3. not only can we port cm from the mini, but we could probably port sense 5 as well, and very very successfully integrate the two giving cm a sense 5 skin.
[HTC First] SneakyGuyDavid:
im not sure if there would be alot of demand for a sense 5 skinned cm rom, but i guess its something new. oh and JMZ's kernel allows the htc first to overclock upto 1.7Ghz, if you're into that, i think the phone is snappy enough as is.
[HTC First] Kendosis:
Yeah sense 5 would be eww, sense 4 already uses 15% more ram than stock rom imagine sense 5 lol
