[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rainman387:
Hi, I bought my phone from my carrier on a two years contract. It's locked to my carrier only and the model is Samsung I9195- Galaxy S4 Mini. Now, will I be able to install Philz CWM and root this device and that install custom roms?

I read many guides and they all point out that when installing clockworkmod, ones phone should be internationally unlocked.

Does this mean I'm doomed to a regular Sammy firmware for the next two years?
[Moto X Q&A] neondohc:
hi hope youre all well and can help me here ive got a moto x 1058 from claro puerto rico and it seems everybody tmo att verizon sprint got their

4.4 update running exept claro and i want it ive heard that i can flash the att version to updatit regardless of the modem

is this true if not how can i get it up to 4.4 official thanks in advance
[Moto X Q&A] dray_jr:
well the 1058 is the AT&T model so i would think you would beable to flash it but the big question is. is the device unlocked for use with claro or is it running different firmware.

have you tried putting in a sim card from a different carrier and see if it accepts it. if it does then it is just unlocked and i will walk you threw how to get to 4.4 and root access if you want it
[Moto X Q&A] neondohc:
its not unlocked i put in an att sim card and it ask me for the network unlock

does my boot loader has to be unlock even if i wanna put an official rom like say atts rom

thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Mejilan:
I believe that CM has a script built in that attempts to retain GApps, IF you're flashing dirty from an earlier CM build.

Pretty sure that a clean flash will require a GApps package though (I tend to use the PA 0-day packages, FYI).

I don't think there's any harm in flashing loki-doki just in case. It detects if a package is already loki-ed or not.

Personally, I just use a recovery with a built-in auto-loki feature.

I used to use OUDHS CWM, but switched to Philz Touch CWM recovery yesterday, and am loving it.

I have been playing with my tmobile MDA (wizard) and in HKLM/software/HTC/engineermode there are some keys I find interesting. On mine LaunchEngineerModeAppDialStr is set to *#*#364#*#* (364 maps to 'eng' which is probably why it was chosen).

Has anyone played with this at all? I tried but I get 0 mobile srevice her eand got a message back saying 'please try you call later' (sms style) which I am certain came from the phonei tself. Normally I get just 'failed' rather than 'please try your call later'.

At any rate, it might be something fun to look at I know that some people were looking to get the tower IDs and other info, and usually engineering mode includes that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] trixter:
update

I have an update to this. I have 2 SIMs both tmobile US. The old one is at least a year old, maybe more. It is totally inactive. The new one came with the phone. When I use the old one I get 'please try your cal llater' with the new one it goes into engineering mode and displays cellid and other bits of info. of course its not highly useful for me right now becuase I have no cell signal, but ...

The title bar reads 'gsm test mode' and there are 3 tabs. GSM, AMR and GPRS. At least now the key to get the dial string is known, if it wasnt before (I didnt see anything) and the fact that you can get tower IDs and other stuff (something someone wanted elsewhere).

the gsm test mode app appears to be a totoally different app as well (according to start->system->memory->running programs. I do not have good tools yet to see exactly where this app is and how to access it. But I am sure that if that program were located a debugger could provide useful info on extracting the syscalls or whatever is done to get access to the cellid and other bits of info.

Note cellids can be used to track location, they are fixed and reported, at least in the US., While you may not know exactly where someone is, by knowing which tower they are on you can guess. RSSI can be used in conjunction with this as the far field (where most radio communications occur) falls off at the inverse square, you can guess at the distance (but not direction). Multipath and other issues can affect this reading, so its not highly accurate but ...

Now does anyone know of a good tool like ps in unix that shows me not only the full program name but also any arguments given for WM5? :)

[Microsoft Surface] vphotographic:
hi all

i have got the eu pro 2 image files downloaded but i dont klnow how to create a bootable USB stick with these files so i can boot from it on my pro and reinstall from scratch.

Any guides anywhere ???

thanks

paul
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Haven't tried it with a recovery image specifically, but I've done this plenty with an install image. There are tools, but I do it semi-manually:

1. Locate suitable flashdrive whose contents you can erase (back them up if needed) and plug it in.

2. Run CMD or Powershell (as Administrator).

3. Run "diskpart" (all commands are given in quotes and should be typed without quotes) and accept the UAC prompt if needed.

4. In diskpart, type "list disk" to see the list of disks, then type "sel dis [#]" (replace [#] with the disk number for the flashdrive).

5. Type "lis par" to see all partitions on the disk (typically only one) then "del par [#]" for each one to delete them.

6. Type "create par primary" to create a new partition spanning the whole flashdrive, then "lis par" to make sure it's selected (star next to it).

7. Type "format quick" to create a file system on the new partition, then "assign" to give it a drive letter.

8. Type "active" to make the new partition the one the OS will attempt to boot from, when booting off that drive.

9. Assuming everything succeeded, you can now exit diskpart ("exit").

10. Either unpack (using a program like 7-Zip) or mount (Win8 can do this automatically, or there's lots of software for older Windows versions) the disk image.

11. Copy the entire contents of the disk image (you can just use Explorer for this part if you mounted it) to the flashdrive.

Congrats, you have a bootable flashdrive containing a Windows installation (or recovery) image.
[Microsoft Surface] Will_nonya:
I've been building windows deployment images for years and I build my boot drives similarly to how you describe. The problem I've had is in getting a uefi bootable drive which I can use to take a drive image before I deploy a new one. In the past I've used tools like Make PE3 to make some useful boot drives but i'm not having nay luck with the newer pe4 or getting an older pe3 image to boot.

Secure boot is off, windows detects the drive and lsit it in the boot menu it just doesn't boot. Any suggestions?
[Microsoft Surface] lopezk38:
Try pressing VOL - (I think its -, might be +) as it boots with the flash drive plugged in
[Microsoft Surface] Will_nonya:
Thanks friend but that is not the issue. I can initiate the boot from USB but none of the boot images I've used in the past or that I've create new successfully boot. This problem is limited just to the surface pro.

i have all the phones here now with the laptop ive rechecked it out now, that's it

nothin, actually with the samsung i was mtp anyway with moto g also changin to ptp keep stop chargin when power off the pc

this is terrible because usually i keep my phone close to me, with the computer, connected to it, and it recharge slowly, so i usually leave it when im going to sleep connected and the day after i found it totally recharged, i have no close socket, so with this issue i have to disconnect the phone go to a socket and connect the phone, and the day after disconnect and from the socket go to the computer and plug to the pc, everytime, instead just leave connected to the pc

all this why?

[Sony Smartwatch] AidanBell:
I'm quickly building up a huge number of emails and messages that I've dealt with on my phone but then have to manually delete from the watch. I appreciate that one can clear all data from each notification type, using Smart Connect on the phone, but I'd love to find an app or a command that would automatically clear all data (messages, notifications, etc), say every 24 hours or so. Or failing that, at least something which would allow a quick, more elegant way of manually clearing the watch. Can anybody recommend anything? Many thanks.
[Sony Smartwatch] themissionimpossible:
You could use the Smartwatch2 app on the smartphone, enter the menu of each SW2 installed app and tap Clear all events, Clear history or Clear log, etc.

It's not really comfortable but at last you don't have to perform this operation directly on the SW2.
[Sony Smartwatch] AidanBell:
Thanks. Yeah, that's what I'm doing at the moment, through Smart Connect on the phone. But I just counted; in order to clear email, messaging and Facebook requires 17 commands. It really does surprise me that a more elegant system is not built into the watch. Surely everyone who owns the watch wants to be able to clear away (or to have cleared away) messages as they're finished with. Most odd.
[Sony Smartwatch] Kroutnuk:
You go into the notification app in your smartwatch then push the menu button and after the option to clear all the notifications (the open letter).
[Sony Smartwatch] SeanyC:
Thanks. Came here to ask the same question and it has already been asked and answered. :good:
[Sony Smartwatch] MCosmos:
Thx for your help
[Sony Smartwatch] AidanBell:
What exactly do you mean by "the notification app"? If you mean the little orange circle that indicates new notifications; those disappear anyway as soon as they've been looked at. But the notifications still remain on the watch, so one still has two go into each app in turn (email, text messages, Facebook, etc) and clear them. However, pressing the open letter does nothing at all. The notifications remain. The only way I can find of deleting anything with the watch is message-by-message, individually, including confirmation step. Or, as in my first post in this thread, data can be deleted using the phone through the "Smart Connect" app.
[Sony Smartwatch] Kroutnuk:
I didn't understand that you wanted to clear all the datas (and not the notifications) in the watch's apps.

In that case, yes you must do on the phone through the smart connect app.
[Sony Smartwatch] AidanBell:
Thanks. I guess it's the term "notifications" that's confusing. What I want to clear, regularly, preferably automatically, are my email messages, text messages, and Facebook messages, so that those apps are empty. What I'm hoping to find is an app or a macro command that will either clear those messages automatically, or will allow me to do so in one go, rather than - as is the case at the moment - app by app through Smart Connect.
