Yes, I could have been worded better. You can flash other

ROMs but make sure they don't include an older bootloader or your device will brick from what I understand.

I ended up just saying "eff it" and hopped onto CyanogenMod. Probably tripped the root counter, but by now I just don't care anymore.

Thanks for helping me in this thread though, I appreciate it.

Take care and happy holidays.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Adreaver:
You did trip the Knox counter.

Just so anyone else reading this thread knows, if you value your warranty DO NOT UPDATE TO 4.3 VIA ODIN . Instead, flash the 4.3 rom , kernel, and modem zips in CWM or TWRP recovery.

Do not Odin MJC (or MK4 for you T999L people) if you want root and warranty, as once you are on the Knox boot loader you can't go back.

One of the things that bugs me about forums, finding information is a pain the butt. I just want to get my device back to stock so I can get OTA updates, GPS doesn't suck, and can use Wifi. I don't care about root anymore or using custom roms. I'm learning Objective C right now to branch into iOS development. I'm sick of the Android ecosystem, to be frank.

I'm on Wicked Rom with Android v4.1.1

Baseband T999UVDMD5, Kernal 3.0.65-DeviantKernel_07

I'm downloading T999UVUEMJC_T999TMBEMJC_TMB.zip right now, along with root66_TMO_T999UVUEMJC_2.7z

Which one do I need to flash? if root66 gives me root, then cool I'll take it, but as I said, I don't care. I'll be using Mobile Odin since I'm on a mac and I sold my PC. If I need to install Windows via bootcamp then so be it, but I really don't want to.

If I need to update the rom, kernel, modem, etc all separately where do I find those files? *scratches head*

I've made a backup of the system partition, but I'm a little hesitant to install it on a slot. If something goes wrong with the slot, can I force a reboot, and a successful switch back over to stock? It seems a basic function...

Not really stupid is more like it after I hit restore my but puckered up and I was like oh **** if this doesnt work Im screwed no fxz and if I can fix it then no root.
[Droid Ultra General] xjack:
Is anyone having any luck using Slot1, 2, etc?

I can boot from the stock slot no problem. Any other slot just reboots to SU2-3 recovery.

I've recreated slot 1/restored a couple times.

I realize that 3.65 (TWRP 2.6.3.1) is not KitKat "compatible", but wanted to check here to see if anyone has had any success.

Thanks!

What are you flashing? there are no roms for this phone. I just use SS to make backups in case I screw something up cant FXZ or you will lose root. So I don't know if they work or not.

Slots are useful for testing and tweaking without exploding your daily driver.

I guess so I just make a backup of stock slot then make changes any issues it boots into SS and I just install the backup saves time from making slots.

Same here, cant boot into any rom slots as when you hit continue or just let it pass the ss screen it goes to factory recovery.

Has anyone been able to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.2 with this? I want to switch to Tmobile but took the 4.4 update.

So I'm not the only one pulling my hair out over this? I'm on kitkat rooted with ss 3.65 when rebooting to recovery I get the little Andy on his side, only getting to boot into system.

Of course that version is just for the RAZR and other omap devices, but it may be possible for someone to build a version for these devices.

[General Questions and Answers] staile:
Hello everyone! As you can tell I'm a new poster here, but a somewhat regular browser. I see that many of you have posted about Jawbone's Jambox and it just so happens I have one and could possibly use the help of this forum...

While I have dabbled in a lot of technology the whole process of capturing, flashing, modding, etc. in relation to firmware is something that I have practically zero experience with. That's where you come in! My goal is to bypass Jawbone's MyTalk site to update the firmware on my Big Jambox. There's a whole issue with their site not working that I'm not going to get into at the moment, but that is what has lead me to this being the only plausible conclusion. Unfortunately their support has been useless; it is too technical for me as much as it is for them.

This whole situation would be easier if I could get the stock firmware online but all of my searching has turned up nothing. Surely it is on their server! Can anyone provide some insight on how to accomplish ripping the firmware from one Jambox so I can flash the other one with it? Or of course, if someone can provide it I would be quite appreciative.

So far I've spent a week on this project and it is driving me mad.

I look forward to any guidance you may have - and of course if you require additional information, ask away!

Things I've Done:

Tried many times to do the built-in factory reset

Recorded USB data transferred between the Jambox and host computer using USBPcap & Wireshark

Read many articles for inspiration and background knowledge about DFU, libusbx, kinect 'hacking', etc

Kept Googling until I thought of here as a place for help
[General Questions and Answers] monomalvado:
My discoveries...

I am interested in a slightly different end result. I am looking for a way to flash local DFU files that contain custom sounds.

I was able to use Chrome's and Firefox's web console to monitor the URLs being sent. The firmware files, stored in .DFU format, are a binary file containing the headers and sound files as well as the app for the dial method.

I started by looking at the DFU files with a hex editor. I wasn't able to get far but I did open the file as a "Raw Data" file with Audacity. Using 16000 samples, Unsigned 16-bit PCM, Mono, you can hear most of the sounds. Turns out the files are saved in the Apple AIFF Signed 16-bit format. Using audacity you can hear how the files are but up end to end with each other.

This leads me to believe that the data at the beginning of the file contains text settings like volume sync, name, etc... as well as a kind of "Table of Contents" for the AIFF files. (Where the start and stop and what sound is where)

In the install directory of JawboneUpdater you can actually being a firmware update by using the command prompt and running "JawboneUpdate -nobrowser -update path\to\file.dfu -noNet

This fails for me however. :'(

I noticed that successful restores go to about 4%, disconnect, reconnect, go to 51% then reboot the JamBox. If you watch a restore by launching JawboneUpdate from the command prompt, you can monitor it's process percent vs. overall percent.

I believe within the first 4-5% the JamBox is backed up. Then from 5-50% the DFU file is sent via USB to the JamBox. Then the device is rebooted and the firmware is "installed" by the JamBox.

When I attempt to start a restore via the command prompt or via double clicking on the DFU file, which actually opens a Device Selection window which gets me about as far as the command line... 5%, disconnect, then no resume. :'(

I believe one of the issues is that the restore process is interacting between three webservers... mytalk.jawbone*com, 127.0.0.1 via the JawboneUpdater, and a store, cloudfront*net, which is providing the DFU file. I'm using the Retro Arcade and the speeddial-voiceassist.

I'm not sure if the URL will get through but it's.

*//d3osil7svxrrgt.cloudfront*net/store/apps/jamberry/Jamberry-20130212110523-_image-arcadegame_14-_image-speeddial-voiceassist_E.dfu

I haven't slept. I've been playing with it for like 5 hours and when I went to the internet to find if anyone else had success... this is what I found.

I'm giving up for now.

[General Questions and Answers] staile:
Marcos,

Sorry for the delay- been insanely busy!

What you need to do is plug your Jambox in, and then double-clicked on the downloaded firmware file. The Jawbone Updater should turn red and progress past 5%. If that process completes your Jambox should be operational again.

If the process fails, a more advanced process using the command line options may be necessary or there may be some kind of hardware failure with your device.

Let me know if this helps you!

[General Questions and Answers] distrodan:
I've found myself in the same position as many other people in this thread and on /r/jawbone. I tried updating my (original size) Jambox using the DFU posted in this thread, the updater seemed to freeze/crash then it gave an error, leaving my Jambox bricked with no lights coming on and seemingly no way to reset it. Jawbone is the ****tiest excuse for a company ever, I could write paragraphs about how shameful it is but I'll focus on just trying to get it working.

Summary of the situation:

Jambox seems bricked - no lights turn on

When connected to the computer it shows up in devices as 'Jawbone Devices > Jawbone Updating' with location: Port_#0002.Hub_#0001

Trying to update again via the .dfu gives error "Please ensure that you have a Jawbone device plugged in that is compatible with the selected file type"

I don't really know what I'm doing with the command line, but I tried the same sort of thing as I saw elsewhere in this thread as you can see in the below image:

i.imgur (dot) com/R0AI8i1.png (not allowed to post links yet apparently)

It definitely seems to recognise the device connected, and it looks like it accepts the update file too, the problem seems to be the line:

Anyone fixed this yet?

I also have managed to brick my original jambox with the latest updater ... "Broken Hardware" ... "Recovery needed".

I spoke with Jawbone today and they said they don't have a copy of the original updater. Seems unbelievable. I went through the usual method, and picked the mini jambox thinking it was mine, not realizing the original is now a legacy device with no support. How the updater would even allow an incompatible device to partially connect seems ludicrous ... the website itself is awkward, making you download the updater each time. They offered me a 25% off coupon ... LOL

Does anyone have the original updater and/or .dfu file for the original jambox. I have tried hard and soft resets to no avail. No power, no lights. I would try a command line operation if someone knew how to point me in the right direction.

Has anyone found a solution??????????????
