oh oh

:cry:

well good news and bad news!

today my flash light died a long and painful death!

not sure how long it was on for but a myserious incident meant the program musv ben running while the xda was sitting at my desk in laptop mode, i caught a glimpe of the programme running in the top bar then checked it and it was just a very low white/blue tinge glow!

wounded!

perhaps it may be best to put some max timer as protection?? say 10 secs? but make it so even if the software hangs itl switch off?????

great idea just let down by poor components! i mean ive never heard of an led go like that with such little use! my xdas only a week old.

anyway good news!

well im a manager of a phone dealer so i can get mine replaced no probs at all ;)

and it means when i do get it ill be doing rom upgrade straight away!

but i have a dilema!

do i a: get the xda exec again (black) or

b: get it as an imate version?? (silver)

no i really cant decide on the colours!!!!!!! help!!!!!!!!

is the imates keypad light up red??? does it look good? im thinking maybe the resale value might be more with imate??

also if i do get the imate is it even worth me upgrading the rom???

damn i hate refinding all me software and doing reg tweaks! awwghhhh

come on guys silver or black???
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
krismc: you poor chap, I was just thinking in the shower yesterday that I really must get around to the timer, but I wanted to finish atom support first. I'll try to get it done asap.

10 seconds seems quite short. What say 30 seconds guys?

Couldn't you do a software backup and restore it to your new phone?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rick GM:
Guys

Ya gotta heed the warnings - there's plenty of them in this topic.

Sounds like a $1000 dead torch !!

BTW Vijay, I used the torch for real yesterday. Dropped something under the table in a dark restaurant - SPVM5000 with VJCandella came to the rescue. My partner was at last impressed with my device - they just don't get it !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Rick - yes, Mrs Vijay555 continues to be unimpressed by my hacks. But next time I'm on holiday on Risa, she'll be grateful I had my trusty flash. (You've got to be quite a geek to get the reference... who'll own up to it?)

The only reason I haven't updated the code yet to put the timer in is because I'm too lazy to rebuild the cab. Sigh, I'll try to do it tonight. 4 days off work! First time I'll get to do a proper all nighter for months!

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rick GM:
Whoooosh - straight over MY head. At least that means I'm not a geek.

Risa ?

btw vijay did you see the post from guttrhead he's offering loan of his phone - on the wizard forum

'I have a 9100 that I'm not using because the speaker stopped working. Maybe we can work something out. I'm in the US though.'

Long way though :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
meschle: I did speak to him. We're discussing a possible handover, but it's complicated - I have to get him to give it to the US office of my firm, from there US to UK, and then back again subsequently. A local londoner would be much easier :) But I'm really grateful to you guys for thinking about it.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sooz:
Did you ever get the torch working on the ATOM?... if so can you post the cab - happy to donate!!

Any of you know how to do a backup on the ATOM like we used to have on the iMate?

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Backup of what?

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] krismc:
got my new qtec 9000 but it seems slower than my xda exec, whats up with that????

also is there a way to backup everything.

so say i need to hard reset i can just load my backup and it will put all my progs, reg hacks etc settings all back to the way it was before the hardreset?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rick GM:
krismc & sooz

What has this got to do with VJ Candella ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigbawlayesyawla:
Vijay: while trying to put linux on my htc harrier, I noticed that the attached file turns the flashlight on when the program is executed. I don't know if it can be reverse engineered for any api or other information that might help the functionality of VJCandela across other devices. maybe it will help, maybe not, but I hope it does :)

the program turns the light on, but does not turn it off until the power button is pressed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahe:
I tried the app above, and yes it's work. It turned on my flash light on HTC Harrier.

And I also find the source code of HARET, but unfortunately, the new version of Haret does not turn on the flash light.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
I have no idea what a harrier is, but can you give this version a try:

http://www.vijay555.com/vj/releases/vjcandela/vjcandelaliteharrier.exe

Harrier only

i can't test this, since I don't have a harrier, but let me know.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] moghisi101:
What's the current status on:

Wizards Support?

30 Second Timer?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
I built in the timer but was too lazy to rebuild the cabs. I'll upload tonight if I can.

Wizard support - not gonna happen until I get access to a Wizard. However, reading the above, can someone try running Haret on the wizard to see if it accesses the flash? If that works I'll try reverse engineering it.

Anyone tried the Haret version? I guess that won't work either actually, it un-works in the same way as the Wizard code.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] frisco:
Just executed the haret.exe on my wiz: EXCEPTION reading coprocessor 15 register 0
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] moghisi101:
There's a very remote chance that I might get it running on the wizard. just bear with me. no promises
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Guys, I was coding for a while yesterday, nice to get my hands dirty again after a while.

I added the timer mode to VJCandela and VJCandelaLite. It'll now switch itself off after 15 seconds. If you want to override that, use the -override switch.

Still no alternative device support.

On my website.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sooz:
vijay does this work on the Atom yet??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Nope. I've got to disassemble the self test app, which I tried once before but got lost in. Without having the hardware to test it on, it gets too tedious...

I'm intending to take some steps to help secure access to new hardware, at some point soon-ish.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahe:
It says "not a valid ppc app"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Is that harrier WM2003? I may have compiled WM5 only :(

I'll try to recompile in WM2003 mode. Apologies.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigbawlayesyawla:
Yes, Vijay, the Harrier runs WM2003SE. THANK YOU for all of your continued work on this app to ensure that it works on many different phones.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Here's the Harrier version recompiled for WM2003.

http://www.vijay555.com/vj/releases/vjcandela/vjcandelaliteharrier.exe

Still no guarantee it will work, but let me know either way please.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigbawlayesyawla:
vijay, the program runs on the harrier, but it does not activate the camera LED light. However, it does momentarily throttle the screen's backlight up to full brightness (at this point, I need to explain that on the harrier, the camera app, when executed, throttles the screen's backlight to maximum brightness...while your app does not execute camera.exe, it does cause similar behavior, i.e., the increased screen brightness) I mention the part about the the screen brightness to say that your new revision seems to communicate successfully with the camera api, but does not get the LED flash to activate the light. almost there! please keep up the good work! thanks, vijay.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
bigbawlayesyawla: interesting bad news!

OK: basically, the Universal has a very obvious feature for activating the flash, which is not quite what I use, but I have a reverse engineered implementation for various reasons.

Every other HTC flash equipped phone it seems has a similar but slightly different flash activation code. However, without having any other HTC phone with a flash to play with, I'm obviously banging my head, but I think once I get one, I should be able to make the solution for all. So, hopefully, one day a Wizard or something should fall into my lap and I'll crack it.

Until then:

Hmm, the backlight ramp is interesting! It's obviously used in my app VJLumos II on the Magician. I'm attaching a test version, can you try this on the harrier to see if it'll ramp up your screen? I suggest downloading VJLumosII from my website, and replace the .exe with this one so you can use the shortcuts provided.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahe:
I tried the last 2 version, it runs normally but still can not turn on the flash, as friend said above, it drive the screen into full power backlight.

Anyway, thanks for your hard work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hanmin:
Not sure VJ will be reading this.. but I'm interested in making a version for my Wizard, just wondering if you have any simple guide that I can follow to get the flash working?

UPDATE:

I was digging through the HTCCamera.dll's Camera_SetProperty, from 8 to 12, no luck. And from what I've gathered, seems to be settings for image quality. And there isn't any Camera_FlashLight in it.

In that case as per faqs and guides you need a service centre repair.

Providing you have read the faqs and guides and followed relevant steps then their is nothing left bar a service repair .

sim

sim holder

modem

csc

You have checked them all .

Factory reset the phone and flashed stock firmware .

1.) If not on CM, factory reset (using your recovery).

2.) Flash scanno's TWRP 2.7.0.1: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2691886

3.) Restart back into Android. Then restart back into TWRP.

4.) Flash the CM11 ROM: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=tf300t

Well I tried it and it seemed to flash but when I went into recovery it still was labeled 2.5.00. Is it easy enough to make flashable zuos of both KitKat and jelly bean recoveries so they people don't have to connect to computer every time they want to change recovery.?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cmendonc2:
I threw a flashable one together from [MENTION=905572]scanno[/MENTION] in a few minutes it flashes the img to the recovery partition. From the updater script it looks like:

package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p4")
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] andrewnelson23:
Or just use cmendonc2's flashable twrp.zip, reboot recovery, flash ROM and gapps and reboot again. Much simpler IMO
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cmendonc2:
Just to be sure, I don't need to do anything to the updated binary? I think thats device specific for the tf300t, so generic.
