"Resolved" HTC Desire 500 - How to roll back to STOCK-firmware

here is a tutorial to go back to a stock rom :D , it's work for me :laugh:

If someone wanted to have updates on your HTC , and do not work with a modified recovery , here is how to replace the normal recovery and how to lock the bootloader again .

1 grab a pack

For Dual Simhttps .dropbox.com/s/g0lfv7bmoh...g_Recovery.rar

and unpack to a directory eg c :/ android or for One Sim .dropbox.com/s/80x1awvlq2a3w55/recovery.img (thanks pasiasia )

2 Please note that the drivers were installed and the phone was switched on usb debugging .

3 Pull out the battery and put in the time and turn while holding turn down .

4 Plug the phone into the USB and select Bootup .

5 Depending on the system being used by looking console ( cmd) and be sure to have or give administrator privileges (on Windows 7)

6 In the console , type:

c:

cd android

7 After entering the directory , type : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

8 If the messages appeared to have made ​​everything with no errors , move on

9 Locking the bootloader can be done using the command: fastboot oem lock

After that will restart and recovery we have restored and locked bootloader .

For me it worked , but I do not take responsibility for it , and you do so at your own risk. After that I made an update to version 1.13.401.2 OTA .

Hello all

First of all, sorry for starting a new thread, but i aint allowed to post directly to the proper thread :(

my Phone is a GT-I9195 XXUBMJ7

so here goes the Q i got :

1: rooted my GT-I9195 with arco68 guide with great success : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2364980

however if i check i with root checker it says : Congratulations you have root access, but under analysis it says : setuid is not configerated

properly and etc, what does this mean and does it make any different

also after this i tried to flash the GT-I9195_Kernel_v1.zip and after i did that root checker now tells me that setuid attribute is present and

correctly configured

2: was trying to update my phone via kies to the latest firmware XXUBML1 from XXUBMJ7 and my phone was useless after that (could not turn

wifi on and the phone was really slow and full of bugs) so i flash it back to XXUBMJ7, so does that mean i´m stuck on XXUBMJ7 now ?

Best regards

Nah, just open up Odin, connect your phone to your computer, download CWM, PHILZ or TWRP tar file, click on PDA, choose the tar recovery file you just downloaded, and flash it. That's all. Very simple. Then you can go into recovery and flash custom roms. :)

First, calm down, I can read. Second, you are solely responsible for your own device. Third, Saferoot is only for root, it has absolutely nothing to do with recovery. Flashing a recovery through Odin will allow you to flash custom roms, which is what you asked how to do. No need for Safestrap.
[HTC Jetstream] finniest:
While spending time in Taiwan I thought I would try to reach out to HTC and see if could be put in touch with someone at the company. I figured that while I was in the country it would be worth to shot to see if I could contact someone sympathetic to the ROM development (or even the Jetstream) cause.

I felt that as someone who has (an albeit tiny) body of HTC device development work that I might merit a vaguely personalized form letter that politely amounted to go away! I certainly didn't have any illusions of grandeur nor am I naive to the fact that companies regularly want to distance themselves from perceived failure.

It began with a tweet directed at HTCDev requesting a tour.

​

I didn't receive the courtesy of a reply, but you can be the judge of whether that was merited.

Next I contacted HTCDev via their HTML contact form. You know those forms that you fill out only half expecting the contents to actually be delivered? I received the following automated reply a little later.

I had hoped for some resemblance of a human reply, but I am left disappointed. I am happy that I tried.

So there you have it. I'm sure other better people than I have tried more earnestly to contact HTC, but I thought I would share my lone attempt. The most disappointing thing about it all is that it is not very surprising.
[HTC Jetstream] guru_shastri:
when the jetstream was new and the disappointment fresh, i tried getting their attention through their facebook page and emails. they blamed at&t for the lack of development and ignored the device from that point forward. its nice of you to try.

on the some-what good news, last i asked show_p what's shaking (2 weeks ago) and he said he's got something planned to fix the crashing, and he should get to it in two weeks. (that means this week) i don't wanna bother him just yet, but maybe he'll get the job done.

To all whom are interested, (minor gossip, insider story), no I'm not HTC employee nor contractor. ok ok may be a next next next door neighbor, which I purposes walk across to look at their pretty receptionist (I'm just joking too).

Anyway, I am in China, HK, TW, consumer grade manufacturing industries, hence would like to share these two possibilities.

1) I suspect this tablet was an AT&T initiative from the very beginning, An AT&T owned project, then open tender to couple of designers and manufacturers, notably HTC, Asus, etc and HTC won the job. All development costs will be billed $$$$, man hours, prototypes, tooling, ALT, MoQ, etc. Under such conditions AT&T would be hard pressed on costs for a rom upgrade, because many man hours not only on developments but testings thousands of accumulated functions and features.

2) But there's also a possibly of 2nd scenario, which is HTC self designed and build the Jetstream and knocked on many Telco's door to sell it.

Under my observation of North America availability only, no where else in the world, it's more likely a AT&T initiated project. So, no money no upgrade.

Come to think of it, it has 4G, first amongst tablet? It must be an AT&T initiative.

End.

[Google Chromecast] slonn:
I took delivery if a Chromecast today and the setup is a breeze. As I'm in Europe I have changed some settings in order to access the American version of Netflix because if the extended selection of films and series. It runs fine on my Galaxy Note 8, iMac, and Xperia Z1. But it can't run on my TV. Every time I try to cast a film on it I get this error: "Whoops, something went wrong...Device Messaging Error. There was an unrecoverable error on your computer. Please reload the page to resume controlling your device."

I have done some searches and found various possible solutions, but none worked. This is what I've tried:

- Signed out of all devices in Netflix.

- Reset the Chromecast.

- Disabled WWM on the router.

I doubt it's an issue with Netflix as it works fine on all devices except on the TV. Sometimes I do see there is an error on my iMac saying that Microsoft Silverlight has crashed but that doesn't seem to affect anything. Is there anything else I could do to troubleshoot?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Please tell us...

What make/model router do you have?

Can you describe how you "changed some settings" to access US Netflix?

Do YouTube and other services work?

If you use your normal DNS settings and access your local Netflix, does it work okay?

Chromecast is its own device and does its own DNS lookups and Internet requests after receiving the "go play this video" request, so if you're redirecting DNS on specific IPs/devices (rather than everything on your network), then you need to be sure the Chromecast IP/device is being redirected.

Otherwise your phone/tablet/computer is in Mens and Chromecast is in the Ladies and...

Phone/tablet/computer: "Excuse me, could you get my phone next to the urinal?"

Chromecast: "What's a urinal??"

;)
[Google Chromecast] slonn:
Thanks for your reply.

The router is a Cisco EPC3925.

I used the instructions from the Unblock-us website. Changed the DNS settings to 208.122.23.23 and 208.122.23.22 as instructed. But I also changed the DNS settings to that on the Cisco router - otherwise the US material would not show on my tablet and phone (only on the iMac).

YouTube and Plex work just fine when casting material to the TV.

When using the normal DNS settings from the local Netflix it works fine.
[Google Chromecast] ripjames:
Netflix and hulu etc are having issues this morning if you are on a Uverse, if your redirect is a uverse one that may be the issue as well
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Thanks for the info.

Seems like your core problem is that by default Chromecast uses the Google DNS servers regardless of what DHCP provides, so even though you've set your router so all its DHCP clients are being told to use the Unblock-us DNS, Chromecast still isn't. So all your devices are in the Mens, with the exception of Chromecast, which still goes to the Ladies, even though you tell it go to the Mens, thus it responds with "What's a urinal??" when you reference things in the Mens (US stuff).

Chromecast will fall back to using the DHCP-supplied DNS server(s) only if it doesn't get a response from Google's DNS.

Normally the ways around this would be to:

Route Google DNS requests to a bogus/non-existent gateway

Block Google DNS requests entirely

so Chromecast does not get a response from Google's DNS. Which one works depends on how your router handles the blocking/forwarding. You want a timeout or destination unreachable, rather than an outright refusal.

But... I looked in the manual for your router (seems to be a VoIP+modem+router combo) and unfortunately I couldn't find any way to add a static route, nor did I find a way to block or forward requests specifically for Google DNS.

So unless the ability to add static routes or the ability to block port requests for specific WAN destinations has been added, you may be a bit stuck. Definitely check through your router's config to see though, often times the manual lags far behind the current feature set.

However, if you don't have the necessary options in your router, that leaves you with these possibilities:

Add a router that can provide blocking or redirection via one of

static routes

IP-specific port-blocking

iptables rules

to provide network to Chromecast and devices controlling Chromecast (they need to be on the same subnet).

VPN - which is beyond my area of expertise for this usage.

Get a rooted Chromecast so you can use Eureka-ROM to enable use of DHCP-supplied DNS rather than Google DNS

If you go with option (a), you will have double-NAT, which can be problematic.

You would connect the new (filtering) router's WAN side to your existing router's LAN site. You cannot connect the two routers LAN-LAN as the new router will only filter/redirect traffic when it does the IP translation from LAN to WAN.

If your existing router has a Bridge option for its LAN connection, that would avoid double-NAT (bridge will connect the WAN side to LAN side transparently and disable all router NAT and filtering), but it's more likely that you would get a Static Route option before you get a bridge option.

Anyway, contemplate a bit, first check if there's Static Routes in your router's config. Sorry this has been such a verbose post. :)
[Google Chromecast] slonn:
Many thanks for your detailed reply!!

I don't know much about modems/routers so would be a bit wary of setting up a new router. I checked in the setting on the modem/router provided by my ISP and there is an option to add static ip. Would that be a way to block Google's DNS?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Unfortunately not - and don't change that - you'll lose Internet connection.

While you're there, though, can tell me what options you have in the Working Mode dropdown where it currently says Router Mode?

DON'T

change it though - that's likely to break your Internet connection too. :)
[Google Chromecast] slonn:
There's Router Mode and Bridge Only in the dropdown.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Cool. If you decide to get another router, you should be able to switch that dropdown to Bridge Only and connect your existing router's LAN port to the new router's WAN/Internet port, and it should avoid double-NAT-ing.

Essentially your existing router would only be used as a modem (and VoIP, if you're using VoIP), and you'd disable old router's WiFi and do all your DHCP, WiFi, etc on your new router.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
As a rule I try (best I can) to avoid Dual Purpose networking devices as I have found they do neither task very good....

Unfortunately ISPs are moving towards these all in one boxes (Modem/Router/WiFi) and it Wreaks havoc on those who have their own networking gear....

Whats worse is they are locking the configs of these devices so that you can't change them easily to get it to do what you want.
[Google Chromecast] slonn:
Sounds too simple to be true. I do have an extra router so perhaps I'll test it out at some stage during the week. Thanks for your help so far!
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
You can also try this simple test without the router to see if it works....

Connect your computer directly to the Modem/Router...

Set the Router to Bridge Only mode and if your PC gets an outside (Public) IP Address then you know it will work with an external Router.

The only issue you might face is sometimes if the ISP provided the Modem they program it not to accept that change without it coming from their side.
[Google Chromecast] slonn:
I connected a new router (ASUS RT-N56U) to the existing router/modem. The existing was set to Bridge Mode with DHCP off and it can connect to the internet but not cast any show (local or US) to the TV. Not sure what details are needed for you to help me getting it to work. I can cast local Netflix onto my phone and tablet. YouTube videos can cast to TV.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Not totally up on the settings screens for your new router but check to see what IP Address it has under the Internet settings.

Every Router has two IP Addresses, one local (192.168.x.x) and one Public (should be provided by the Modem in bridge mode),

If both are local IPs then your double NATing which will easily break Netflix. If one is a Public IP then check other settings in the new router most notably UPnP and Multicast.

Also ( sorry dumb question follows) but you did make sure to set up the CCast to connect to the NEW router not the old one?
[Google Chromecast] slonn:
There are two IP addresses: 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.254, first one local and the other public. I can't locate UPnP and Multicast in the router.

I made sure to set the Chromecast to the new network. The old one shows but it's not connected to the internet. It's in bridge mode.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
As I suspected...Your Double NATing is the problem....Your new Router is not actually breaching the Modem to the Internet.

This modem also has WiFi built in I bet....

The DHCP you shut off probably doesn't apply to anything directly plugged into the Modem. Just the WiFi.

You need to look for a setting that gives you the option of passing a local/internal (192.168.x.x) IP or Outside IP and set it to pass an Outside IP. (this is on the Modem BTW)

If the Router reports any IP that starts off 192.168 for Public then you are not set up correctly.

If you see the option to change from local IP to Outside IP but it is greyed out then your ISP locked it out and they must make the changes on their end.

Call and tell them your Modem is in Bridge mode but doing double NAT translation and you can't breach the Modem with your router.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
As [MENTION=744716]Asphyx[/MENTION] said, there's double-NAT going on. This may be a problem, but the core problem at the moment is that new router's WAN and LAN are using the same subnet.

I recommend...

Turn off the WiFi on your old router, if you can.

Look for the stuff Asphyx mentioned.

If you get stuck, call your ISP

Ask them to enable Bridge mode and explain that you're looking for more robust routing and firewall features

Ask if there's a firmware update for your existing modem/router combo to provide this, if there is a different ISP-provided modem/router you can use that has better features, or if they can provide/recommend a modem-only device (if they don't/can't enable Bridge mode)

Ideally, you want to see is your new router getting a WAN address that is not 192.168.x.x

If you reach that point, you're done.

If not, you at least want your new router getting a WAN address that is in a different subnet from its local network.

On your new router, change the Local address to 192.168.2.2

That will switch things on the new router to the 192.168.2.x subnet. Now the new router and old router will be on different subnets.

Make sure any client devices (wired or wireless) that have static IPs set are changed to use IP 192.168.2.something and gateway 192.168.2.2

My network is double-NAT and I have not had issues with Chromecast, streaming, VPN, or anything else, but you definitely should avoid double-NAT whenever possible.
