Is there a custom Kernel or ROM that allows to scan for very weak wifi signals (<-91dBm)? I'm very dissapointed with the wifi scan performance of the Nexus 5. N4 is much more sensitive and faster especially after the KitKat Update.

I know how relock my bootloader and i have a TA Partition Backup.

Can i relock my bootloader safely if i am on the 15.1.C.1.17 firmware (C1905) but i unlocked it on the 15.1.C.2.8 firmware.

I have stock rom and kernel.

Because somebody told me that the TA partitions are different between firmware.:confused:
[Sony Xperia M] haresh311999:
Yes you cannot relock lock on different FW just flash a ftf by flashtool of same fw...
[Sony Xperia M] MahaDEVELOPER:
But what if i updated it on the 15.1.C.1.17 firmware via PC Companion to the 15.1.C.2.8 firmware, so i dont have the same .ftf that i unlocked it on.:confused:

Hi everybody, been surfing the forum now as ive got an MDA Vario, unlocked it etc etc using the threads on board.

I've been trying to get my pc wi fi router to work with my phone, but have had no luck as of yet; however last night i came accross a broadband router which i thought was mine, i only used the connection to try pocket msn and look at googles layout on the phone. After a while i noticed i was not getting a 2mb speed and the signal strength was weak, therefore i noticed im using someone elses broadband.

My question is..

is it possible for the person to see my contact details on my pda .e.g my house address, and my home telephone number which is stored on the pda?

well i only picked up a very weak signal

I think that the device does identify you with the first name and last name of whatever is set in the "Owner Information" properties. Can someone confirm? Is there a way to change that?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Vap:
I would assume that rather than owner details, the PDA's "friendly name" would be used.

All moot as regardless of my best efforts I cannot get the thing to even ping, never mind show up on any networking kit I have. As someone has said they have no shares.

I am pretty paranoid about WLAN stuff as I run several and know how easily most are hacked - however, I am not in any form of panic re my Wizard.

It seems to me that PPC's are designed as a client side only system, which does seem sensible coming to think about it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Rico83:
the only thing that they could trace is any logs on the router, with your IP and MAC address... i would not worry about it too much. the person is obviously stupid enough to NOT secure there network so i doubt they have the brains to trace you.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SBouri:

Odds are good that your neighbor can detect that you have been riding on his nickel. I am generalizing, but if they were bright enough to be watching their router logs and dhcp logs for rogue devices connecting then they would likely have also WEP'd their box.

I agree with VAP that the risk of the neighbor prying into your device over the 802.11 seems pretty small.

[LG Optimus G Pro] pleckers87:
Since the devs here are so amazing, I have a general question, but leans towards a device that is not the OGP. What all is involved with unlocking the bootloader? I have been wanting to get custom recovery on a different ATT device and apparently in that thread section, no one wants to mess with it. The device is the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0. Basically what I'm getting at is finding out if unlocking ATT's bootloader is a difficult task or if the ATT bootloaders are really a pain the butt.

Thanks in advance.

(I realize that I'm in in the OGP section, but the I feel the devs here can possibly give some input because of the quality work they do for us OGP users.)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Double44:
My Samsung Galaxy S 4G is going through some pretty awesome times in its life right now. However, I'm worried that flashing/restoring the wrong way is going to cut its winning streak short. I mainly stick to the Cyanogenmods found here. ClockworkMod will be abbreviated as CWM, Cyanogenmod as CM. Below is the full history of this device in chronological order:

>Samsung Stock KJ6 (Gingerbread 2.3.6, BML)

>Root w/SuperOneClick

>Bhundven's Subtly Modified Stock with CWM5 + Voodoo Lagfix (kernel w/CWM5.0.2.7)

>Valhalla Black Edition (Gingerbread, BML, CWM5, bhundven's KJ6 Beta2 kernel)

>Cyanogenmod 7.2 (Gingerbread, MTD, CWM5.0.2.8, cyanogenmod-GB kernel)

>Cyanogenmod 9 (Ice Cream Sandwich, MTD, CWM6.0.1.0, 2.6.35.7-cyanogenmod-ICS kernel w/Hefe Kernel changes)

>Cyanogenmod 10 (Jellybean 4.1.x, MTD, CWM6.0.1.9, 2.6.35.7-cyanogenmod-JB Proton kernel)

>Cyanogenmod 9 (Ice Cream Sandwich, MTD, CWM6.0.1.0, 2.6.35.7-cyanogenmod-ICS kernel w/Hefe Kernel changes)

>Cyanogenmod 10.1 (Jellybean 4.2.2, MTD, CWM6.0.3.2, Aries 3.0.84 kernel)

After flashing CM10, I got caught in a bootloop (a confirmed bug in the ROM), and I had to use CWM to restore a CM9 nandroid/backup. I then flashed to CM10.1, and this is where I'm currently at. However, I want to go back to CM9 once again, the GPS only works on the ICS ROMs.

Can I restore CM9 using my current version CWM, or does the recovery version have to be the exact same build? I didn't seem to have any problems restoring CM9 from CM10, and I'm still not sure if there were any consequences in doing that.

From what I've read, restoring has to be done on the same Recovery version as the Nandroid. I've watched many Youtube videos of people suggesting that they flash ROMs on "a daily basis", I'm trying to figure out how they are comfortable with this, given such a restrictive restore environment.

I think that you'll just need to be on one recovery at all times. I don't recommend updating your recovery.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Double44:
Thanks for the quick response :)

I'm not sure how it's possible to stick with one recovery? A new recovery version comes with each ROM I flash on the T959V, it's impossible to keep recovery the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Irwenzhao:
Keep the recovery file in your sd-card. Flash it everytime u flash a new rom. (Make sure the rom you're using is compatible with that recovery though)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Short answer, "I just flash with whatever recovery I have on my phone. In the rare cases that doesn't work, I flash a different recovery manually."

Long answer:

On the SGS4G, it is non-trivial to keep the recovery as it is integral with the run-time boot image. Flash a kernel, you flash recovery as well. You almost always get the kernel in a ROM.

Within a given Android release, you should be able to use "any" recovery to flash any well-built ROM. I regularly flash TWRP-based ROMs using CWR and vice versa.

I haven't looked into getting CWR to recognize a TWRP backup or vice versa though. They should both hold the same information, but I don't know how well they "play with others" on their naming, locations, and formats.

There sometimes are differences in how the ROM's "install me" code runs in different Android versions and occasionally, for example, a JB-era recovery won't flash a GB-era ROM or vice versa. When that happens, you can generally flash a kernel of the "target" ROM by itself, then flash the rest of the ROM. It is pretty easy if you have a Mac or Linux machine, a bit more complicated if you're running Windows. Making cross-version upgrades reliable are one of the more challenging things a custom-ROM maker needs to deal with.

You generally don't want to try to mix a /data partition from one Android version with a /system from another. Some of the user-space backup utilities like Titanium Backup can do a decent job of upgrading data from one Android version to another. I've never tried to downgrade.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AnAznBoy9724:
I feel like a more simple way is to go back to stock, re-root, and then go back to CM9.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Double44:
I'm suddenly bursting at the seams with questions. :eek:

Where would I look to find ROM/recovery compatibility? If I'm not mistaken, none of the ROMs I've used go into these details.

How would I backup a recovery? I would use ROM Manager, but ROM Manager is not compatible with the SGS4G. :( I've been doing my work manually through CWM only (which is recommended anyway), and I don't think CWM can be backed up through CWM itself.

I am planning to restore a CM9 backup eventually. If I were to backup a recovery, would I backup the current Jellybean recovery I have (CWM6.0.3.2), or would I be better off to backup the recovery that comes with the CM9/ICS nandroid (CWM6.0.1.0)? Both CWM's have software version 6, which almost makes sense that I was able to restore from CM10 before (CWM6.0.1.9); the only differences between the two recoveries are their build numbers.

If I were in need of a specific SGS4G kernel, where would a person look? I may need the kernel to CM9 (2.6.35.7-cyanogenmod-ICS kernel w/Hefe Kernel changes). Now that I think about it, what's the most important factor when restoring, the kernel or the version of recovery?

How would you manually flash a different recovery if you've already wiped the device? Are you restoring the current ROM, then downloading a different kernel, and trying again?

You wouldn't want to flash a BML ROM with an MTD ROM's recovery. You may know this already, but there are Gingerbread ROMs with both BML & MTD layouts. Luckily this trend disappears on the ICS ROMs by keeping it MTD, I don't plan on flashing any lower than ICS because of this.

Regarding your last sentence, isn't this why a person would wipe data and format /system before flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Double44:
I may not need to go down that route just yet.. though I could be wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Most ROM builders seem to be happy about just getting their ROM to flash over common other ROMs in use for the phone when they release them. It's more a case of "I tried it and it didn't work" for most ROMs. Clear exceptions include at least:

Froyo and Gingerbread had different boot loaders

Some MTD ROMs can't be flashed from a BML kernel

I don't know of any BML ROM that can be flashed from an MTD kernel

SELinux throws a wrench into cross-kernel flash compatibility

/mnt/sdcard/TWRP or /mnt/sdcard/Clockwork have the backups in them. If you look at them in detail (and ignore the suffix) /data and /system and your android-secure are generally something manageable like tar or cpio format. Titanium Backup (Pro, at least) can read both CWR and TWRP backups.

You backup "recovery" every time you backup boot on the SGS4G. The recovery partition, as I understand the early bootloaders, is never used. It is the same image in both partition.

If you wanted just the boot image from a ROM installer, which includes both the kernel and recovery, pretty much inseparably bound together, then you can un-zip the ROM and look for boot.img in the extracted files. It should also be the contents your "nandroid" backup of the boot or recovery partition (though I haven't confirmed that it is bit-for-bit equivalent, I would be surprised if it wasn't). You can grab the current Hefe Kernel which is what I generally use as my "go to" kernel for ICS. Then again, I'm arguably biased.

heimdall is your friend, along with a "recovery jig" or "download jig" (under $5 to make, or off eBay). You can flash a soft-bricked device with it.

heimdall flash --KERNEL path/to/boot.img

[MENTION=1949378]bhundven[/MENTION] thinks that 1.3.1 is the latest you should use.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755265

http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/

https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/downloads

It can also be done from the command line, for example using adb into recovery. As a mis-typed command using that approach could potentially blow away boot loaders or the like, I tend not to use it myself.

You can always use one of the one-click installers to get back to GB, if you want or need. I tend to be slow to upgrade as you can't reliably go back with your data, even with backups.

A ROM shouldn't care what's on /data though some are apparently unhappy with the cruft of others. Other have not been as lucky as I seem to have been. I always back up before flashing, and immediately go back if it didn't seem to go right, before I put in my SIM or turn on WiFi. (I always try to remember to turn off WiFi and pull my SIM card so that I don't have important changes in my app data when changing ROMs.)

I guess how many ROMs a day you are flashing, how likely you think it is that the ROM is "functional" and how easily you can recover from a bad one impacts how you make your personal decision about what your process is.

On the other hand, if you are changing Android versions, yes, wipe, clean install, and carefully restore app data, with frequent backups so you don't have to start over if something goes wrong.

It works fine for me too, the only complaint I have is how hard it is pull it out and how not slipper the tip is (former could be due to pen abused by previous owner).

But It's so tight that I almost convinced it was made with spring load mechanism in mind, but they forgot put one in...

Also, because spen can be put in two directions (button up or down), every time you pull it out you have to look for the button, while on N2 you could literately find button in one motion without looking, because once you pull it out, the button at the same place every single time.
