Hi All

For a while I've being trying to learn the art of themming by example. Like Curious George, I try browsing the diverse works and learn from them. Unfortunately I've found some glitches that could be corrected with simple and quick actions.

Let's see one example extracted from a "XDA Recognized Themer" distribution package:

We all know that themming is hard, laborious and a huge time consuming. Nevertheless is important that we do take care about what we are distributing. There are cases too where graphics that never existed on that app are being injected.

My shallow knowledge on android app's don't give me any authority to say but it I wonder if this injections are increasing the apps footprint on memory/caches slowing down the systems.

So, if you really care about your "customers" please take this problem seriously. It won't take you more than 30 seconds to correct.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] jeeb75:
Hi,

My Imate JAMin is dead after trying to flash the ROM with the QTEK S200 ROM using awizard. Anyways my phone will not connect to PC when I try to downgrade to the original ROM file (the JAM_WWE...exe). The problem is my PC wont connect to my phone, I get error 240 or something similar (cannot connect to phone message). So what I am asking is if anyone can backup their Imate JAMin ROM to a SD card and upload the image for me. I figure somebody here has got to have an extra SD card lying around somewhere. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] swartb:
Hi,

If you tell me how to make a SD image I will make one for you.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] jeeb75:
thanks for offering help. I am out right now, when i get home i will do a search and find out how to do it. In the meantime if anyone has any links for backup rom image to sd for wm5 and how to save this image to a file and then to write the image file to sd card again. thanks again.

1. Put the phone in bootloader mode (make sure battery is over 50% charged).

To do this, press the Camera button down, hold it there, and press soft reset. Let off the soft reset button BUT continue to hold the camera button down until you see 4 color bands on the screen. Let go of the camera button when they appear.

2. Connect USB cable to PC.

3. Re-run imate JAMin full flash .EXE file. Should work fine and get you back to normal.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] jeeb75:
Thanks for your help. I tried that before 5 times and the phone would get stuck on the boot splash screen. Now I cannot even get the phone into bootloader mode anymore unless it is plugged directly into the outlet. I do not know why it is doing this. I have charged the battery all the way. I also have a magician so I have tried 2 different batteries charged all the way. Since I can only get the bootloader mode while it is plugged directly to the wall, I cannot connect it to the pc. I have no idea why it is doing this. I just want to try restoring from an SD card rom backup before I send it in to imate.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] swartb:
I have made a sd image from my ROM and uploading it now. It's about 54 MB. I also tested to flash my Imate with this card and it works good. When you enter bootmode with the sdcard inserted it asks if it should restore from card. At this point press the comm manager button (the button under the volume control).

It's a image on a 128 MB SD card. You just have to write the image to your card with ntrw.

Good luck and let us know the results!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] jeeb75:
Thank you so much!!!! I really appreciate it. I just hope it works. If it does not work for me at least others can get this sd image to fix their prophets in the future if they cannot get it to connect to their PCs. I will let you know my results.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] timothyadam:
Do you know if the device has to be unlocked already or can you use this to get around the CID lock?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] jeeb75:
The SD card flash did not work for me. I was hoping the RGB color screen was the bootloader but it was not. I guess there is something wrong with my JAMin so I am sending it in to imate in the middle east. I would like to thank Swartb for taking the time to get the ROM image on SD card.

To answer the CID lock question, I think it does not bypass it so if you want to use the SD card to restore it has to be the same phone model so in this case the JAMin.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Doctormuri:
Hi!!!! could you tell me where is that SD copy of your ROM????

Hi,

I have a all-in-one device from HP which is able to print, copy and scan documents. I'm mostly interested in using the scanner itself. Is there any app that will help me with it? I had a quick look at Play Store but couldn't find anything. I'm using scanner on my Windows 7 PC, which is connected to the same network as the printer. I would love to be able to scan documents and save them on my phone directly.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

And how am I supposed to achieve that?

I don't want to pair with PC because I want to get rid of the PC in a first place.

I scan all my documents as I hate going trough tons of paper, so if I could just turn on my scanner, put the document inside and just take my phone out and transfer it to it - that would be great.

I have a phone that supports 3G 850/2100Mhz. (GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz)

I am using it in Europe right now and i'm travelling to the USA soon. (long time)

I have done some research and the providers over there use:

- AT&T/Sprint/Verizon uses 3G 850/1900

- T-Mobile uses 3G 1700/2100.

Do I need both frequency's for 3G OR is 850 (for at&t) etc. / 2100 (t-mobile) enough to use 3G.

I will stay in L.A and both frequency's are covered in LA. (?)

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] euzimar:
Hello ,

I have not had success with version 3 kernel . After installation the system is in a loop trying to make the Cyanogenmod boot without success. Appears at a time, Moboot screen and then the screen goes black ( dimly lit ) ... Then the system reboots .

I used Tailor to create the partitions :

USB ( media) : 1.953 MiB

User ( ext3 ) : 1.758 MiB

Android (system ) : 600 MiB

Android ( cache ) : 200 MiB

Android (date ) : 23,148 GiB

Unused Space : None

I created a folder with name cminstall with the following files (all downloaded through the appropriate links) :

cm - 11-20140110 - UNOFFICIAL - tenderloin.zip

GAPPS - kk - 20131208.zip

moboot_038 - tenderloin.zip

recovery - clockwork - 6.0.4.6 - tenderloin.zip

I reseted the WebOS Touchpad through and hit the volume button until the USB connection symbol appeared. Finally , as with all Novacom drivers installed on your computer I entered the following command in the Windows command prompt :

novacom.exe boot mem :/ / < ACMInstaller5M

The system installation appears to be correct , but the system is in boot loop .

Any help is welcome .

Grateful.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] euzimar:
Solved

Off course,

After doing the firmware update A6 ( well described in various forums ) I decided to install a version of android 2.6 kernel . This version was released by Milaq ... It all worked . After that , I copied the files from version 3 kernel for the HP Touchpad in a different folder ( I used / AndroidSetup ) .

Prior to installing the files used the program for WebOS called Tailor to adjust the sizes of the partitions according to my needs . I've allocated the largest share available to the data partition of Android. I left a 2.0 GB partition for media Touchpad also like to use this program . I used the "resize " option in Tailor is quite simple . If it does not work the first time just try another. You need to check the partition and then change its size.

Now , within the ClockWorkMod I installed the files from version 3.0 kernel available by Milaq :

cm - 11-20140110 - UNOFFICIAL - tenderloin.zip

GAPPS - kk - 20131208.zip

recovery - clockwork - 6.0.4.6 - tenderloin.zip

I first installed the recovery - clockwork - 6.0.4.6 - tenderloin.zip and rebooted the tablet . Then I did the installation of the other two files and everything usually occurred .

I hope I have helped someone .

Hi guys,

meanwhile, I have indeed adopted me from my Prime, but that there is no solution for a "unbrick" without blob.bin-file, I do not want to admit. :rolleyes:

Has really no one found a solution other than what we know as with NVFLASH?

Can the APX mode really nothing more than the start of NVFLASH by wheelie.exe?

I would argue that this question have asked some of you. Maybe there is still an approach for a reset of the Prime. :confused:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] josuloku:
I read somewhere that a stock blob could I load
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Conne:
Hm, i guess that´s not really possible, because the ROMs don't contain a blob.bin.

The blob.bin is in my opinion a Device-specific file. That's how I read it anyway.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibraheem Nofal:
Hello there. I've been trying to do an ota update for my HTC One to android 4.3 for a while now and it hasn't been successful. Every time I check I get the "Your phone is up to date" message. I'm stuck on 4.2.2. I've tried contacting HTC about my problem, and apparently my device is the O2 version which according to them, hasn't received the update yet, although from my search, it seems that the 4.3 update has been on O2 since last November . I bought my device thinking it was the unlocked, worldwide version of the One; the place that I've purchased it from said nothing about it being an O2 device. Could it be that this has to do with the fact that when I setup my device, I choose my country (Jordan) instead of the UK? How can I update it to 4.3 without rooting it? Is there a way to change the country settings and check for an update? Thank you for your time :laugh:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Has nothing to do with which country you choose, it depends on CID and MID; MID should be PN071000 (for M7_UL European model), and the CID you can see in the bootloader screen.

You'll have to wait until O2 releases it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibraheem Nofal:
Thank you very much for your reply. It's messed up that O2 would take this long to release such an update that's been rolling to the HTC One since October :crying:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibraheem Nofal:

I just checked my bootloader and it says "tampered" on top. Although, I've never messed around with it or tried to unlock it. My device was new when bought, so this is very peculiar.

View attachment 2506886
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
well, here's the short version: whoever you bought your phone from (be that second hand, or even a shop), they unlocked bootloader (using HTCdev) and were playing around with it.

in either case, they should have informed you of the state of the phone they sold you.

now to get the phone back to something close to new (out of the box), how familiar are you with adb & fastboot?

i can help fix or convert your phone, but need to know how familiar you are with the above commands.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibraheem Nofal:
I'm quite unfamiliar with them. It was my first time using it when I got the following Getvar info. Also, will this delete all of the data on my phone? And could it be that this was done in order to unlock my device on other carriers? Or will it work on all carriers even when reset to it's factory settings? I can't thank you enough for your help!

View attachment 2506979
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
1- no, it was not done to unlock from carriers! that would be SIM-Unlock, nothing to do with the phones bootloader unlocked

2- You wanna turn your phone into an unbranded WWE GCC Edition? would that be you're ultimate goal, or do you have anything else in mind, for example: using custom ROMs?

3- or do you just wanna keep it O2 branded?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibraheem Nofal:
Well, I guess it'd be nice to make it into a World Wide unlocked edition, unless that means delving more in technicalities(I'm afraid of bricking it) and not getting OTA HTC updates, in which case I'd want to return it into it's stock state with O2 branding.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
i'll get back to you tomorrow :)

there is always a risk, but quite minimal (IMHO), i'll PM you over the weekend. c u....
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
1- So first things first, backup EVERYTHING to your PC!! If you're going to do this, then sooner or later you're going to wipe everything off your phone! (probably sooner :) ... actually very soon!)

2- Second thing is to get S-Off: you're still on hboot 1.44 (April 2013) and firmware 1.xx, so the easiest is to use revone, and in order to avoid unnecessary headaches, use the following ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48955645&postcount=250

3- get s-off using revone: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2314582

4- once s-off, change your CID (ie Carrier ID) to unbranded WWE GCC: in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB

fastboot oem writecid HTC__J15 <-- two underscores

fastboot reboot-bootloader

5- (optional) want to remove TAMPERED and set phone to LOCKED? use this tool: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_bootloader_reset_1-0-zip/

6- download and run this RUU: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/

after you run the above file, you're phone will be completely returned to "out of the box", model M7_UL (PN0710000) and WWE GCC (CID HTC__J15)

all done, enjoy the updates.

next time please use copy/paste, screenshots are so hard to read, and by the time i'm responding, i've already forgotten what it says.

so hboot is still 1.44, and fw is still 1.xx, so still need to get s-off first

so for this exercise, we're gonna use CWM 6.0.4.5:

https://mega.co.nz/#!aRMQiZoL!X2id_V0xX3BU54fEKctKxzr4dutrHJLaZkHHBVbfevw

MD5: D6DCFEA904E5A3B90ED320AC438BA5F3

then flash that in bootloader:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-m7ul.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

-> enter recovery, once in recovery

adb push Android_Revolution_HD-One_9.4.zip /data/media/

^^ the ROM is posted earlier (credits to [MENTION=1631739]mike1986.[/MENTION])

then "install" it in CWM.

and continue as instructed before to get S-Off.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibraheem Nofal:
I sincerely apologize, I didn't know that there's a different method for posting pictures. I take it those are all CMD commands? And I'm going to have to be in the Fastboot menu of the bootloader while doing this? And where should I place the clockwork recovery img?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmallsXD:
I could be wrong but it has mentioned that Flashtool uses the same protocols as PCC and flash tool is a way for those with unlocked bootloaders and modified system to flash stock roms where trying to use PCC would result in failure.
