[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TotallydubbedHD:
Hey guys,

I'm looking to upgrade my mum's stock phone.

I previously updated her phone via this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1915386

But it seems that the dev is no longer active on that font.

From what I can see on Sammobile the latest FW is:

N7100XXUEMK9

Which is for a UK - BTU phone.

My mum is currently on:

N7100XXDME6_N7100OXXDME2_N7100XXDME4_BTU

Thus ME6 based on 4.1.2.

I was thinking of putting her on 4.3.

I don't want to wipe her phone, nor want her to have any problems - thus I want to leave her on as STOCK as possible.

Just rooted is a privilege (or else I can manually root it somehow) - I only use root on her phone to TB backup - just in case all goes pear shaped.

The reason I want to leave her on stock - is in case she has problems whilst I'm away + she doesn't really need any fancy features or kernels that allow her to OC etc.

I also thought to ask before going in blindly and upgrading her phone.

I'm not at all in the help with the Note2 roms. Thus would appreciate some help in that respect.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweeny80:
Hi I suggest installing this 4.3 ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2595963

It is pre-rooted Stock ROM, one of the latest releases from Samsung. I run it myself, smooth and flawless. No bells or whistles.

But first I suggest you upgrade her bootloader via PC Odin to MJ5, which you will find link in DRKetan's thread, for his V6 ROM. This will ensure no FC or wifi problems.

Best of luck mate

I was looking into that very same thread- downloading now.

From that post - I see the wifi patch?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweeny80:
Yes wifi patch is an option if using an older bootloader. I used it for a while but encountered some app FC, freezing of the phone. After upgrading to MJ5 bootloader, all problems went away.

Hi, currently I'm on JB stock rom. It's acceptable but runs slow and battery can hardly last for 1 day. I tried roms like CM11 and flying jelly but they have various issues such as no HDMI support, unstable, etc, so I have to come here and ask for your recommendations.

What I want is a rom that supports HDMI dock, runs smoothly, and has decent battery life. It can be any Android version. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] B.E.McAllister:
I just came back to Flying Jelly for all those reasons. Basically each ROM will act a little different on every phone. I find the ones that come stock overclocked to 1.2 I have to clock back to 1.0 or my phone acts a little strange. If you need the HDMI support you'll probably end up on a stock ROM. Good luck

hi all

im new to this forum. and im thinking of buying an mda pro (aka htc universal) however i would like to have an external HD attached to it

so my question is:

could i use my creative zen touch 20gb mp3 player (like ipod) to connect with the mda pro if i were to have the cable for it?

the zen touch is an MTP (media tranfer protocol) device and WMP10Mobile also supports MTP..

i tried the search but found nothing relevant

any help is appreciated
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] dah54:
In a word, No.

Sorry you can't do what you want to. The Universal would need a USB Host controller, which it does not have. You would need to rewire the motherboard and add some software to get this. So you can forget that until you can find a SD USB Host controller, of which there are zero.

Closest you can come is adding a Wi-Fi hard drive, as of now.

Sorry

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] mitchello:
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Lol, thats one of the stupidest things I have read on a forum.

There is definately more to USB host that software. Why else would most PPCs not have USB host as a feature, and why would USB host be a big mention when a device with it is released :P
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] LOMF:
well.. actually..

I'm an owner of both the qtek 9000 and the Pocket LOOX 720 (Fujitsu-siemens branded)

The loox hardware and the qtek are almost identical with the difference that the qtek has phone abbilities, and the loox dosen't. However, the loox does have officiall USB-host-features. (both have VGA, cam, 520 mhz, ear-speaker and both are made by HTC)

When you look at the registry and the USB drivers used, they are almost the same, but with the usbmsc.dll added on the loox.

And.. since the usb-host feature is in the

PXA27X processor and not an external chip, the only reason why the universal not should have usb-host features is if they changed something in the wireing from the processor core...

I would love to tryout and see if I get this to work, but I can't seem to be able to copy that dll from the loox. And since I'm on vacation in thailand, my tools is abit limited.

Does anybody know if there is an easy way of copying a dll-file which is in ROM and in use?

best regards

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] thaihugo:
try to use the internal file manager to copy the file. You will get better results than with resco. You also need the correct registry settings for this to (eventualy) work.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] thaihugo:
I don't thinks calvin42 is posting misinformation. He just know thinks better than you. This driver have been developped by deje a few years ago. They were most of the time in a beta stage, and working only on the toshiba, until deje work was bought by a hard disk maker, selling the driver with the hard disk. This kind of stopped the project. The drivers you can still find are only the beta version, and the final version ahs to be bought either with a HD, or for a few dollars.

Back to our subject, you should understand WM5 has a fairly different way of mapping the hardware than WM2003, so they are very remote chances for a WM2003 driver to work on WM5, furthermore for a WM2002 driver.

Oh! and BTW, Usb host is a feature of the processor. It can be disabled by the manufacturer. So yes, there is a USB host port.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] playerkiller:
You mean qtek9000 and others DO HAVE usb host but disabled??

It looks weird.. why disabling such important feature?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] thaihugo:
the intel bulverde has usb host. Hardware manufactured decide to support it or not. They heve their how reason, and this is probably not for pissing us up. I guess this feature is not driving the market.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] fluffcat1:
What about using the SD interface as a connector for a drive? It's SD/IO isn't it? A friend has just got a 4gb PSP drive that connects through the memory stick slot on his PSP, something similar should work with the universal? (and other HTC devices that have SD and no USB :-)

Richard
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] mitchello:
Yeah but thats converting one ATA memory card to another (similar to SD to CF adaptors). Its a passive adaptor. Converting to USB is a whole different thing.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] fluffcat1:
But you could still get an SD HDD - so it's a possibilty, I didn't mean convert memory stick into SD!

Richard
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] playerkiller:
Well, i'm confused... if bluverde has USB-Host, this means it's just disabled in JJ/9000. So we have just to enable it somehow..

Right?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] thaihugo:
wrong if it's hardware disabled.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] playerkiller:
Uhm, how's something HW disabled in ppc?

In normal PCs usually a jumper makes the difference. What in PPC platform? (i'm not an electronical engineer)..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] orangeoro2:
A jumper just breaks an electrical connection between two places when removed, or connects them when in place. The same can be achieved by cutting a wire, or in this case an electrical path!

If it is HW disabled then it could be a case of not connecting A to B in the way that would enable the USB port to act as a host. Or HTC, when building their Windows Mobile ROMS, may choose not to add the USB host drivers, if they are allowed not to - we know it's supported in Windows CE 5.0 which Windows Mobile runs on - but they're all modular OSs so whether it's included from device to device is another story...

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] epicus:
Odd no one mentioned this. In the Visual Studio 2005 cab extra's installed there is one cab file rather small which has usb host in the name. no I didn't try it out at the time.[/b]
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] edgley:
surely the way round this is to find a way to connect the universal to a network via a cable.

Then we could just use a LAN disk.

Will have a look...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] dahquim:
Does anyone know where to get a USB 5 pin Mini to USB 5 pin Mini lead from, then at least we can ghave a try.

The only problem i can see (apart from the whole HOST functionality) is that USB Hard drives take power from USB, depending on the mAh that thedrive requires the PPC could drain pretty quick (I think USB outputs at 5v 500mAh, but im not sure).

We just need the USB lead to have a try.

Dahquim
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Bartjan:
try your local electronica store...

or ebay...

USB does indeed output at 5v 500mAh.. but the HTC Universal USB has an max output of 100 instead of 500mAh :!:

so you will need an HD with its own powersource (iPod??)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

different thought i had the last days:

since i guess it will take some months before the widrive (www.edslab.com) will arrive in europe, how about this?

if you would have the asus wifi drive (see link below) and attach an portable powersource to it (aka battery) then it would work, right?

http://usa.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=12&l2=44&l3=0&model=460&modelmenu=1

some other device i found similar to the asus wifi HD uses 5Volts DC 3A

Dutch --> http://www.lapwing.nl/Product_Detail_new.php/1272/N

since im no electronica expert i dont know how long a battery would last with that electricity usage..

anyone knows what battery you could use for this and how long it would last??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] thaihugo:
Ok, let's beat the subject to death then.

The asus Wl-hhd perfectly work, but most of the battery doesn't have enough output juice to power it on the road. socket batterypack doesn't. If you plug it, it's a perfect tool for the universal

the widrive is supposed to have drivers to show it as a media under windows. It will certainly not work under windows mobile, as it must show as a network drive.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Bartjan:
if you would make your own battery pack using AA batteries

http://aka.fotovista.com/dev/8/0/33020008/g_33020008.jpg

you could make it the requested 5Volt by stacking them and maybe use a resistor

by using more batteries you could increase the mAh...

simple calculation if i would use 8 of those in the picture (1.2V 2500mAh) i would have a battery 4.8Volt and 5000mAh..

does that mean that 8 batteries would give about 1h20m of usage before the batteries are dead??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] altgrr:
The question that still goes unanswered for me about the USB host issue is this: why does the Universal have a USB mini-AB socket if it can't act as a host? The mini-A is for hosts, mini-B for clients, and mini-AB for devices that support both client and host operation.

About the only explanation that makes sense to me, if the Universal doesn't support USB host in the hardware, is that HTC planned to put USB host functionality in but either didn't put it in the final version or just disabled it because they couldn't get it working reliably. I know what HTC's PR woman said, but how many times have you been told that a function on a device you've got is not supported only to find that that's the answer for the layman, whereas it works fine if you know what you're doing?

Look over on the "Linux on Universal" thread. They don't seem to share the opinion that USB host is impossible :wink:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] cr2:
How do you know that, and why mAh ?

I have bought a miniUSB-A -> USB-A cable, cut off

the USB-A connector and connected the miniUSB-A

connector to Universal.

The CPU/wince responds differently than when

you connect a miniUSB-B cable, but i don't see

the 5V output at all ;)

Another problem is the battery, which has a maximum

voltage of 4.2V, but under the "usual" conditions

provides 4V and 900mA with all devices switched on.

I don't think it is realistic to expect a DC-DC converter and an additional 5V at 500mA load.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] cr2:
We need to understand the pullup/pulldown

control logic.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] dahquim:
CR2

What OS is your phone running? and what experiences did you have pluggin the 'modded' cable in?

I'm really interested in this, because I will be going on holiday soon, and as i cant afford a iPOD or other mp3 player with such capabilities, but i have a 30GB laptop HDD then it would be nice to put MP3's on the HDD and transfer what i want for the day on to my phone.

Dahquim
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] cr2:
Both wince and Linux, but i have not figured out yet

how to do a voice call in Linux.

There is a wince hardware debug program called

haret, so you can trace the CPU and ASIC reaction

to many events. If i connect the USB cardreader

to the USB port (in wince), then it does not get 5V power supply from the Universal. I can check it with the normal

digital multimeter.

I don't know how much current your HDD needs, but

even if the USB host will work it is necessary to have

some external power supply.

FYI: there is a two-port USB host in Universal. The first

host port is used for the data communication with the Qualcomm WCDMA phone chip, the second

is related to the external USB socket, and needs more

research.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Bartjan:
i read it somewhere in an article about using different assecoires on the universal like mouse/keyboard

Hey, i just wanted to let you guys know about Note 3 low battery precautions.

I was using my phone as usual, as i noticed there was brightness slider missing from notification pull-down menu. I immediately checked under: settings-> device -> notification panel ->Brighteness adjustment and setting was checked!

As i became furious, i unchecked and checked that option but it was still missing. At that point i was really upset as this feature is VERY IMPORTANT for me (quick access to brightness). So i rebooted my phone and tryed again, no success. In panic i started checking every thing on my phone, all processes i deactivated (all share play and stuff like that i don't need etc etc...) all defaults than i tought some third party app was to blame for that (many apps can not be removed from notification pull down menu (unfortunately))...

Than i checked if i can adjust brighteness manually in display settings and when i saw that that function was gray (unusable) it hit me... i saw my battery was very low, 3% so i figured this is the reason.

Phone disables the ability to change brightness. Furthermore i couldn't use camera and my music app shuted down at 1% level...

So next time you see brightness slider missing from notification pull down meni, check your battery level... it sure made my heart beat a litle faster... :)

Hi

I have a p7320 which I am trying to install a custom ROM to, and I am having some trouble.

I used this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1569122

1: flashed cwd through odin

2: flashed superuser through cwm

All fine until now

3: then I flashed the kernel from the same site through cwm

4: bootloop

I didnt take backup, so I couldnt nandroid back

I couldnt turn the device on, so I couldnt transfer another kernel

There were no "mount USB" in cwm so I couldnt transfer the files there either.

I was able to go into download mode, and I flashed the only stock rom I could find in .tar (flashable through odin)

from here: http://androidromupdate.com/2012/12/12/u-s-att-samsung-galaxy-tab-8-9-lte-sgh-i957-android-4-0-4-ice-cream-sandwich-update-finally-arrives/

flashing went fine and the tab booted.

Now I went back and flashed cwm again through odin, but when I was going to place superuser and the new rom on the sdcard.... there is no room on the tab.

In explorer it says : 0 byte available out of 26.9MB

This tab is 16GB.... what happened?

I cant transfer files to it, so the only thing I can flash is the .tar files through odin.

please help
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] OmarEinea:
Hmmm, this is usually a sdcard mount thing

so maybe all you have to do is reboot to CWM do a format /sdcard from mount and unmount section in CWM

then reboot to system and see if the problem still there;)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] panelovn:
Hi :)

There is no such thing as format/sdcard in that section.

Only format/cache, format/data and format/system

:(
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] OmarEinea:
this probably means that your CWM version is old [5.5.0.4 I guess]

I don't know if your tab has a newer CWM cuz my tab is p7300,

so try to find a newer one or even try TWRP instead, cuz it also has sdcard format function

one little thing, you said your tab is P7320 and yet you have installed a SGH-I957 ROM {read it from your link}

I honestly don't know the deference between the two devices

what I'm trying to say is: maybe the problem is because you're using a ROM for a different device

so maybe you should try THIS [the latest ICS Odin tar samsung framework for P7320]
