[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dokie80:
hi all,

I eager to try kitkat version on my kindle fire, and tried several different rom. today I see an article about CM11 M2 Snapshot Build, that supposed to be more stable than nightly build. I do search here about CM11 snapshot build, but didnt find a single thread about this. why is that? from CM webpage, otter version is availble, no one try this? or there's a reason people didnt try this version?

mainly I want to try out the significant improvement with ART, but most ROM said we shouldnt use ART, because it is not stable yet, anyone can point me to the one that works? or at least let me which KitKat ROM that is most stable so far for kindle fire.

meanwhile, I keep getting back to Jandycane for my ROM

thanks :)

[Galaxy Y Duos S6102 Android Development] jelinek.01:
Hello,

I'm quite new in android development, so sorry for dumb question.

I have new GT-S6102 (because of dualsim setup) and I'd be quite happy with the stock firmware (S6102XXMA2) if it wasn't of the 160M memory. What I'm trying to do is to modify init.rc in bootimage to mount /data on 4G second partition of my SDCard instead of 160M /dev/stl11.

I'm using a Ubuntu 12.04 machine for my experiments.

I've copied /dev/block/bml7 from my phone using ADB, extracted it using abootimg.

First (and I hope that main) trouble is that when I try to update the boot.img (abootimg -u boot.img -r initrd.img), even without modifying the ramdisk, the resulting image has few different bytes near the beginning of the file. Anyway when I flashed it back to phone, it booted normally.

Then I unpacked the ramdisk (using steps from here) and modified init.rc:

mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data nosuid nodev crypt check=no
# mount rfs /dev/stl11 /data nosuid nodev crypt check=no

I have a 32G uSD card with 28G FAT and 4G EXT4 primary partitions.

Then I've repacked it, made new boot.img, flashed with ODIN and it made a nice bootloop with Samsung bootanimation without usual sound.

What am I doing wrong?

Is this modification even possible?

Thanks for advice :)

P.S.

I've tried to extract the boot.img from S6102XXMA3_S6102DBTMA1_S6102XXMA2_HOME.tar.md5, but 7zip on Windows and TAR on linux complain that it isn't valid archive.
[Galaxy Y Duos S6102 Android Development] jelinek.01:
OK, so it seems that I´ve managed to work it out at last.

The unpacking and repacking of bootimage was all right, trouble was in updating only the init.rc and probably using ext4. What I have done:

I replaced all mentions of mounting /dev/stl11 on /data by mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (that was in files fota.rc, init.rc, init.charge.rc, res/recovery.fstab). In res/recovery.fstab I also changed formatting type from rfs16 to rfs32 so it supports my 4.5G partition.

Then I flashed the bootimg in my phone and formatted the data partition in recovery (that was the only way to make it rfs I've found).

Maybe it would all work with changing the format and mount type to ext4, but I hoped for as little modification as possible.

Now it reports 4.25GB free space after all my apps are installed, hurray :).

I have just to remember to never boot it up without SDcard inserted. Maybe it would work as a possibility to borrow the phone to somebody with another card.

The boot.img came from S6102XXMA3_S6102DBTMA1_S6102XXMA2_HOME.tar.md5, if someone wants to try it, it is here :). It probably wouldn't touch the original /data partition, so it might be possible to try it and undo it by flashing original boot.img. It just requires to have a second primary partition on SDcard and formatting it in recovery before first boot.

i didnt know to do that boot "compiling" like u did, quite good for you, im using cronmod int2ext , i have 850mb internal. i use 'pimp my rom' to get init.d support.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eandjon:
My Kindle Fire 8.9 was behaving a bit sluggish so I chose to restore it through the KFFirstAide. By mistake I chose the option under Kindle Fire 2nd Gen to completely restore to 10.2.3 rather than choosing the obvious option under KFHD 8.9. Subsequently I got a red screen and each time I shut down the Kindle and restart I get the red screen.

To make matters worse, during the startup of the kindle, the driver does not appear under Device Manager. Not even for a second. So I tried the command "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" under Ubuntu Live 13.10 and get the message:

"Unable to mount Jem-PVT-Prod-04

Unable to mount MTP device '[usb:001,004]'"

Thankful for any advice.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] rjalths:
I'm really looking forward to KITKAT..
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sputnik767:
Nobody knows when or even if KitKat will be released for this tablet. Samsung does not provide timelines, the only way we know is through leaks. There haven't been any to my knowledge.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Riff76:
I doubt we will get it since we didn't get 4.3. Last time I buy a Samsung tablet
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] aj.guyver:
Samsung already forgot this machine.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sputnik767:
I think you guys are being a bit melodramatic. You have a perfectly functional tablet that doesn't have any outwardly obvious bugs or other problems. I bet you use it with no problems. Sure, it's nice to have the latest update, but it's not like you have significantly outdated software that limits your usage of the tablet. And should 4.4 land on this tab (for the record, I think it will), you guys will be happy for all of about 5 minutes and move on with your day. And of course as soon as a new minor update drops, the *****fest will begin again.

I am running custom build 4.4.2 on my Galaxy S4. Outside of some UI tweaks and ART, it brings nothing significant to the table.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Riff76:
Thats the attitude HTC had just before they started losing tons of money
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sputnik767:
There are many reasons why HTC is failing, but if this is even a reason, it's an insignificant one. Samsung has never been truly up to date on updates, yet they are second only to Apple in the amount of high-end devices sold. Most people, myself included don't really care whether we are on the latest version. We just care that our devices perform well and do what we need them to do. I only complain if an update screws something up.

And lets be honest here: you are running the latest version of all of the Google Apps. It's not like you are stuck on Gingerbread and being on Jelly Bean does not limit you in any way. KitKat will not boost your battery life, will likely not make your device faster, and does not add any significant features that would make a difference in your usage of the device. So what's the real issue? Because it's not that you are unhappy with your tablet.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] esoh:
I wish that was the case but it's not. I'm on the AT&T variant, and I'm still on 4.1.2. I have screen freezes (real and documented) and battery life isn't great. With that said, I haven't piled on the *****fest. But no matter what, this device really needs to get upgraded. I blame AT&T more than Sammy, but there is no reason why I should still be on 4.1.2 with a device that was announced in June 2013 with absolutely no word on when we'll get an update (either to 4.2, 4.3, or KK). That's pretty shameful. And with no releases of any kinds of source code or device info, we have no unlocked bootloader or custom ROMs. So, I'm basically on 2013 hardware with 2012 code.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sputnik767:
I fully understand your concern. I have the Wifi-only tab and am on 4.2. I did not experience your issues with 4.1 but I do know that others have. The thing is, problems have to get fixed, and it's a shame that you are still dealing with them. I don't know if it's AT&T or Samsung in your case that's at fault though. My point was more to the effect that I don't care for software updates just for the sake of having a slight bump in version number.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ProFresh4:
Agreed. I am on the At&t Note 8.0 variant also and I too have freezes and lag. With that being said I know that At&t and Samsung don't have the best business relationship dye At&t loyalty to Apple. So an update may or may not come. If it does let's hope that At&t don't block or rip it up like they do with all Samsung updates
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Riff76:
I got wifi only and I get freezes. The way to unfreeze is to turn the orientation of the note to landscape from horizontal and vice versa. I really wish for an update to fix that. And Yes htc has tons of problems but I believe the slow ass updates were the biggest driver of their customers (at least those who root their devices) to Samsung. Those people are also quite influential with their peers on recommendations

On the whole , it's a pretty good deal I think

So after that, you normally install provided drivers, and I also provided a archive that contains extracted adb program, so you don't need to instal Andorid sdk.

Signed ADB drivers for Xperia M only come with very recent builds of PC Companion (even FlashTool 1.3 doesn't have this drivers currently). I managed to get only them from a local install, download the attached file and run DPInst.exe (or DPInst64.exe if running 64-bit OS). With this package you don't need to disable driver signature enforcement, they work out of box in Windows 8/8.1...

[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
I got from a PC Companion update. Make sure you have the latest version of PC Companion or reinstall it to fix that...

Unsigned drivers = major headaches to install in Windows 8+ since it'll accept only signed drivers unless you disable driver signature enforcement first (and M$ make that process more complicated in Windows 8+ than before)
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
Lol, what are you on about. Please explain to me, what do you mean by unsigned drivers. I used that programme on windows 7 and the drivers work perfectly for me.
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
As I assume you've already worked out drivers can come in two forms, signed and unsigned.

Signed drivers are generally ones coming from manufacturers and have a valid signature bundled in with them.

Unsigned drivers are generally ones coming from external sources (like flashtool) and do not have a valid signature bundled with them or they don't have one at all.

In Windows 7 there is slight driver enforcement, when you try to install unsigned drivers a window pops up telling that they are unsigned and that you shouldn't install them. You still have the option to install them.

In Windows 8, 8.1 and 8.1 Update 1 there is strict driver enforcement. When you try to install an unsigned driver with driver enforcement on, it will fail. When you turn the driver enforcement off (which is a pain to do) and then try to install an unsigned driver you get the pop up window telling you that the driver is unsigned and that you shouldn't install them, you still have the option to install them however.

I hope this explains it for you.

ADB driver not recognised by Flashtool

I'm trying to revert to 4.2.2 from 4.3 to root my Xperia M dual 2005 that I received brand new today. I have spent four hours trying to get Flashtool to recognise that the phone is in USB debugging mode. It definitely is - USB debugging (and nothing else) is checked in Developer Options, USB connectivity is set to Mass Storage (not MTP) and installing from unknown sources is enabled in Security.

When I connect the phone powered up, this is what Flashtool shows:

10/051/2014 22:51:23 - INFO - <- This level is successfully initialized

10/052/2014 22:52:22 - INFO - - none

But the notification area on the phone shows "USB debugging connected"!!!!!

To flash, I know I have to disconnect and turn the phone off, choose the .ftf then start the flash procedure (preparing files). Then when the animated graphic comes up, I press the volume down button and re-plug the USB cable back into the phone. Nothing happens - no lights on the phone, no flash starts, nothing. This is regardless of whether I keep the vol down button depressed for ages, or let it go after a few seconds.

I'm sure I have the ADB driver installed. I have the latest version of Sony PC Companion. I tried the ADB_Nicky method above from mbc07, using "have disk" and the driver seemed to install no problem. To double check I downloaded the file from the link given above by paper13579 and it detects the phone as a Sony Ericsson, and says the ADB drivers are already installed. I have also uninstalled the device in DM and restarted the PC and reinstalled the driver. Clip of Device Manager attached (as it appears when the powered-up phone is plugged in). Nothing appears in Device Manager when I try the flash procedure as above (phone off, vol down depressed).

I have been using Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit, and (in desperation) XP SP3, with the same results. I've tried different USB cables (known good). I don't know what to try next. :(
[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
[MENTION=4938567]zumtotal[/MENTION], ADB drivers are different from flashmode drivers. Turn off your phone, hold Vol Down and plug USB. Go to device manager and see if you have a "SEMC Flash Device". If it show up with an exclamation mark or don't show at all, try reinstalling PC Companion or selecting "Have Disk" and then pointing to PC Companion folder in Program Files...

Please note that while in flash mode, if the phone doesn't receive any answer from the host computer within 2 minutes it'll automatically disconnect and restart the phone in normal mode, so, after plugging the phone while holding volume down you'll have approximate 2 minutes to do the driver install...
[Sony Xperia M] zumtotal:
Completed

Thanks, mbc07, your answer helped. To cut a very long story short, I made two mistakes:

1. When I first enabled USB debugging on the phone I didn't have any data connection enabled (neither wifi nor sim). So when I connected the powered-up phone to the PC the phone didn't install the USB debugging feature properly. After I got data enabled, more installation took place, and eventually Flashtool recognised my phone correctly and saw that it was in debugging mode.

2. I didn't pull out and re-insert the battery to get the phone into flash mode (that is not included in Part 1 of paper13579's instructions in the main 4.3 rooting thread). So when I connected the powered-off phone with the vol down depressed I could see that nothing changed in Device Manager. After I pulled and replaced the battery, the phone was recognised as SEMC Flash Device and the driver installed.

Simple mistakes but they cost me hours. Hope this helps someone else.

Hey everyone!

I'm new to JOINING this forum. However I have been taking bits of this forum for a few months now. I am a well experienced user when it comes to android development and rooting, but one thing I need to know - is about the Xperia E.

I hate the processor of the phone. 1GHz with 512MB is not enough, but I can change my RAM to 1GB with Root Apps and I want to use the full potential of the 1GHz Processor. I have tried rooting 3 phones, it turned successful, and next is the Xperia E. But Rooting seems dodgy and first I want to try Framaroot.

I had tried Framaroot 1.8.0, 1.8.1, 1.6.0, 1.6.1, 1.4, 1.3, 1.5.1. All with Aragon or Gandalf, and none worked.

My phone is clearly listen as C1505 on the Compatibility list. So why is this not working?

I need help on this. And if there is any other way on rooting the device safely so it cannot be bricks nor severly damaged, I will do.

It was working fine guys until I downloaded LCD Density. I put it too 300 for a little experience test.

A Bad way to go - My phone can charge, connect to PC Companion and Update Service, but is stuck at the Sony Screen.

When trying to repair at the Sony Companion, it says 'Already Latest Drivers'. When trying to us SUS, it says the same. I cannot get into flashmode and I don't have an unlocked bootloader. I'm on Kingo Android Root with SuperSU, LCD Density, Frills CPU Control, an some other root app. I need help for XPERIA E fast, because it's the only phone have in my current price range and I need to restore it to default.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Deleted member 5439257:
Are you sure you can't get into Flashmode?

You could try this:

Connect your phone with your PC. Open up device manager(google on how to open, if you don't know). Click with the right mouse on your Xperia E's drivers and select "delete" or "uninstall".

Now: disconnect your phone, and connect it again. Windows will most likely ask you to install drivers. Ignore it!

Now try to repair with PC Companion or use SUS.

They should ask you to install the drivers(not 100% sure...). Let it, and then perform the steps.

It may work, but I can't guarantee it will!

Hope I helped an have a nice day!

PS. Tip: never do anything(use an app, flash a tweak) until you're absolutely sure it won't mess up your device ;)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] CtrlAltDelIrl:
If you had read the thread on how to root the Xperia E then you wouldn't be in this mess. You would also know that you can't root the latest firmware. You have to downgrade, root, then OTA update - or - flash older kernel, root, flash new kernel.

Reading would have prevented this.
