[RAZR HD General] bear263:
I know that we can't load prior software as it won't over write the exploit fix but, here's what I don't understand. When a phone gets sent back for repair, I would think there's a way that they wipe the phone out completely removing any trace of it's previous owner. Including the traces of a new update, boot loader...etc. Then install a completely fresh copy.

Why can't that technique been done to reinstall the previous software that allows boot loader unlocking? Wouldn't a cell phone repair shop have this capability? If you put a new board in the phone, can it be flashed with any software?

Or even in the refurbish process, not everything gets wiped?
[RAZR HD General] iBolski:
I'm sure moto or verizon can do it, but they have access to the software that contains the encrypted key that is necessary.

But, in any event, they probably would just update it to the latest software if that hasn't happened already.

I got lucky. When I had to replace my RAZR MAXX, they "upgraded" me (for free) to a RAZR MAXX HD. I was lucky enough to have it come in with the 9.16 version, which meant I was able to unlock it, which I did immediately.

The main thing to understand is, if you don't unlock at the 9.14/9.16 version BEFORE applying any other updates, there is NO way to unlock the bootloader. It was an exploit that wasn't meant to be there. Said exploit has now been patched, and if you didn't take advantage of it when it was there, then you have no one to blame, not even Verizon or Moto since it was a security issue that they didn't know existed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomTcom:
I'm running the 12-25 nightly of AOKP.

I did this on my S3 but the layout of the N5 is different.

I am able to briefly trigger the colors from the command line but no matter what I can't change the pattern or manipulate anything else.

From adb shell....

root: /sys/class/leds/{color}: echo 255 > brightness

root: /sys/class/leds/{color}: echo 1 > rgb_start

(These 2 commands allow a very brief flash of the true color of the directory you are in such as blue or red.)

When I get a notification from a text, the default is a hazy whiteish blue color.

After that I checked the files in the blue directory and that's when I saw brightness go to 255 from 0.

Then on_off_ms changes from 50 0 to 1000 9000 which is the setting giving it like 9 seconds in between flashes.

No changes to the trigger file either.

Any ideas how to gain a greater manipulation of the LED for our N5?

Thanks.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomAlec:
I've spent the last two days trying to get Google Apps (at least the Play Store most importantly) to work on my TP again after I updated to CM11. I have the latest CM11 nightly installed with the latest (supposedly) working gapps.zip but I haven't been able to get things working.

Surprisingly, I haven't found any specific solution to my issue (Play Store crashes on launch, Google+ application loops on cannot connect pop up, etc).

Can someone tell me on how to proceed to solve such issues?

I feel like my last chance at trying to solve this is just going back to 10.2, help?

My phone is stuck at the ATT Logo screen and no matter what I do I cannot get past it; I tired to boot into recovery mode to wipe data but it won't let me boot into recovery mode. I've went to Odin to and put on a new .pit but I also failed that. Before all this happened I was on MF3 (rooted) and I wanted to unroot it so I could get the OTA and root my phone on MK2. So, I unrooted my phone and got the update and when the phone went to reboot it got stuck at the att logo. Any advice/ solutions would be great. Thank You.

Sorry if this answer is out there but I couldn't find it. Not even after reading all 13 pages of this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?...storder=asc&highlight=storage+card2&start=300

All my apps on my 2G SD card "used" to be referenced via "Storage Card" but now, after I got my hands on Buzz's (Its all your fault! LOL) ROM Unlocker, "Storage Card" is now Storage Card2" and the ROM shows up as "Storage Card", as well as, ExtendedROM. - although the contents are different. <huh! :?: >

Is there a way to rename these? I have tried Buzz's reg entry of:

HKLM_System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1\NAME="whatever" but that did not work for me.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] dah54:
If you change

HKLM_System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1\Folder="ExtROM" and turn off your device, wait 5 minutes and soft reset it will work.

Note that is Folder and not Name.

Dah
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Tron_Of_Borg:
Thanks for pointing out the "NAME" vs "Folder" part.

I still had the problem of Storage Card and Storage Card2 after following your instructions.

I turned off Outlooks storing of attachments to the Storage Card and this worked. I now only have the single Storage Card, but attachments now become the problem.

One thing I don't understand is that the ExtROM (with the cabs inside) appears as a seperate storage volume than did the Storage Card (9M of free space) when Storage Card2 (My 2G SD card) was present.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] dah54:
OK I understand what your problem is. Lets see if I can explain it in a way that makes sense to you. Your problem is windows is attempting to access a storage card that is not yet mounted. Or a storage card that does not exist, yet. When this happens you generally wind up with a folder by that name somewhere on your system.

Outlook in this case starts before the card is mounted, and tries to access your card before it is ready. I suppose that one could try putting some really big values in HKLM\System\StorageManager\

PNPUnloadDelay

and/or

PNPWaitIODelay

Or perhaps buy a better quality SD card that does not take so long to become active. I'm not so sure their is a real fix to this problem. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] maximus96:
everything was all fun and well when i got the gear this past weekend. always connected to phone and everything. However today I got in my car, the phone connect to the bluetooth audio as usual, and I get an alert on the gear saying its been disconnected. I messed around with it and discovered that my note 3 can only connect to either the gear's call audio or the car's call audio, not both at the same time. (it can connect to the gear's call audio and the car's media audio though) The car connection takes priority every time. I figure I can live with that but when I get out of my car, the gear doesn't auto reconnect to my phone. I know auto-reconnect works because it does that with my car but how can I get the gear to do that as well?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetPwn:
I got an s4 i9505 recently, rooted it using Kingo, installed various ssh servers but all of them refuse the connection.

I also have a Nexus 2012, rooted and it works fine. I noticed that when first connected a prompt appears on the nexus asking me weather I want to accept the connection and when I do everything is fine. This does not happen on my S4.

Also adb connects but if I type adb shell its refused again, strange. So I cant get an adb shell either.

I'm wondering if anybody else is having this problem. Knox is disabled in the settings.

Things are so much easier on my Nexus, it seems like Samsung have thrown in some security features.

Thanks for any suggestions. :(

Ok so, I decided to do a reset, and root using Odin 7 CF Auto Root. I am able to connect over adb and get an adb shell now.

But shh is still being refused, very frustrating.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonas87:
Hi guys,

I converted my GSM HTC one (international) to the google play edition following the instructions in the official thread (4.4.2). I used CWM to root and moonshine for S-Off. I installed the stock (non rooted) version.

The phone boots normally and everything seems to work, except that recovery doesn't work anymore. (This is the screen i get)

Is this because I installed a non rooted version?

Basically after this conversion I don't really need root anymore, all I wanted is google play edition, I do not have further need to run apps that require root. (and I would like to receive future ota's). If all goes well I'll never see the fastboot menu again, but even though I'm done modding it seems risky to leave the recovery non working. Any suggestions?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ZeroXXoreZ:
Is it possible to switch out the camera from an xperia z1 and put it in the z ultra? I've read that the software has been ported over, but I'm curious whether it would be possible to change out the 8mp camera for a 20.7 one? I've not seen the internals of either phone but my assumption would be the connector would be the same or at the very least similar...

i.e. rip out the stock camera and replace it with this:

eBay itm/Main-Camera-Sony-Xperia-Z1-C6902-C6903-C6906-C6916-C6943-L39h-20Mpx-New-ORIGINAL-/181249041255?pt=UK_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item2a3348e367

not allowed to post links but just add the missing bits to the above if you are so inclined.

Any ideas?

Cheers
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Straight answer: no

Why:

The Z1 is 8.5mm thick

The ZU is 6.5mm thick

It wont fit.

Internally the Z1 and ZU are the same. Some module differences, and the camera obviously but a Z1 sensor would fit, its just the lens combination that is too thick to fit. And without that lens combination you wouldn't have the 20mp camera.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] martin132014:
So how bout others.....any previous xperia model...can it be done...?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gbohm:
I don't think you will find a fitting one. And I think the zu is glued so disassembling and reassembling will be very very tough
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
I've pulled apiary mine, and it is difficult.. But possible. There is a rubber seal around the whole unit and a little glue to.

Seeing as the ultra is the thinnest yet, I don't think you'll get any other sensor in there. That's why it's as bad as it is I guess
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] martin132014:
So they sacrifice camera for thinnest..... Is it worth it.....for me, maybe, a little...:)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
The only module that i can think of to be put here is the one from Xperia 2011 devices.. But then, even if you managed to change it, you need to resolve the software for it too, which gets quite messy really fast..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ZeroXXoreZ:
Thanks for the replies

I still wonder if a case modification would allow for the camera...

Can anyone copy the Office RT folder on the Surface, compress it, and upload it?

[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
Then you have a lack of understanding on how processors can be incompatible. Without emulation it wont work on AMD64.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
This is also a really weird thing to want to do... it's just a slightly crippled version of Office 2013, compiled to the THUMB2 instruction set for ARM processors. Take a standard Office install, remove the ability to run VBA macros, and you've basically got Office RT. Nothing exciting or special to it...

Thanks. But I want an activated version of Office, so I looked at the Office RT. But I'll keep that in mind.

Nothing from you, 6677. PLEASE LOOK AT MY POST

BEFORE TELLING ME THAT. Didn't I say I want to mess with it and get it working on AMD64 instruction? If GoodDayToDie tells the truth about MS compiling Office to THUMB2, then it could be done vice versa. PLUS, I'll learn more about programming.
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
Actually you just reiterated my point.

Software is compiled from a human readable plain text representation to machine code, in this case THUMB2. You cannot take that THUMB2 code and port it to x86 or AMD64 and will learn nothing in the process.

To me it sounds more like you are after a copy of office for free and trying to disguise your reasoning for pirating the software behind claims you want to port it to AMD64.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
In a very, very technical sense, dynamic recompilation (converting from one machine code to another) is possible, but it's a slow process that produces slow code, the effort it requires is wholly un-worthwhile, and it would teach very little about programming in the conventional sense (although it's a fun concept from a general computer science perspective, recreating an abstract syntax tree from optimized machine code is only very rarely useful).
