[Shield Q&A] spacemonkeynation:
I just got a Micro SD card today and have formatted it as NTFS (as suggested by Nvidia's Shield User Guide). The file structure is browsable and all appears well. However, the ROMs I have loaded onto it are not working despite them working perfectly fine if they are installed onto the built in memory.

I had previously read that ROMs worked off the Micro SD and would not have purchased a 64gb card otherwise. Is this possible without rooting the device? Please, help me get this working!

****Can someone please delete this post. It was user error. I was attempting to load a ROM I had previously loaded and RetroArch was attempting to use the savestate created during that session.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janreiviardo:
Hi, I came from 4.3 rooted but untripped knox firmware. Now I have updated to 4.4.2 Singapore firmware but have maintained to keep knox intact and root using MOP and PC Odin for flashing bootloader. My problem is, whatever I do, the keyboard and pen input keeps force closing. I have tried reflashing, reset and data wipe. I used the bootloader from the leaked firmware as I have no idea how to extract the bootloader from the firmware. Did I do something wrong? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janreiviardo:
Or can anyone teach me how to extract the bootloader from the firmware? Or convert the 1 file firmware to 3 files firmware which have BL separated. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Go to Sammobile.com. You can download the poland rom and it is broken up into 4 parts (BL - bootload, AP, CP and CSC).

Get ODIN 3.09 and flash JUST the BL part in the appropriate space.

Just remember though, once you update the bootloader, you can't go back to JB....

Hi,

I have been thinking lately of upgrading my QTEK 1010 to Windows Mobile 2003 but i dont know how. I have looked at the rom pages but do these install windows mobile 2003 and all its software? or do the roms just prepare the device for an upgrade.

Also what problems are there with windows mobile 2003 on the QTEK 1010?

One last question... Does anyone know if the QTEK 1010 has an SDIO slot? i've looked on the internet and some places say yes and some say no.

My device details are as follows just incase you need them:

ROM Version 3.18.04 ENG

ROM date: 05/22/03

Radio Version: 3.25.01

Protocol Version: 32S54

Model: PW10A1

I would really like to upgrade ASAP but not mess it up as this is my primary phone and i'm always using it.

Hope to hear from someone soon.

Thanks
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
ROMs are complete, so you just have to install them....

Qtek 1010 has just SD slot, but no SDIO.....

Stefan
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] VRocker:
Thanks for the reply :)

I'll try installing a rom later but is there anything i should know about like will it mess up the phone feature? will SMS's finally have the contacts name? :P and will everything still work? Also i've been looking around the forums and i need to do a hard reset so how do i backup my data? does SD Backup backup everything?

Thanks
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] VRocker:
Ok, it upgraded brilliantly! everything works perfect except one little thing.... I backed everything up before i upgraded and i just came to restore them and it comes up a restore error :S any help on this?

argh!!! i need help now :( windows mobile 2003 automatically requests delivery reciepts but o2 charges for these so its costing me 20p per text! any ideas how i can switch this off? its really doing my head in and wasting my credit!

Please help!

Thanks
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
You´re sure, it is the delivery report you´re getting? Don´t know it exactly, but i think since WM2003 you get an hint that the SMS is delieverd to the netowrk. Tis is a ocal message and do not cost anything. If you got the message that the message has been received by the other mobluser, than you have the delvery reports enabled. it could be switched off permanently by setting

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
"SMSDeliveryNotify"=dword:00000000

in the registry....

Stefan
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] VRocker:
thanks for the reply but i've just tried this method and it doesn't work. its still saying message sent and chanrging me an extra 10p for saying it :( any other ways it can be disabled?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
The message "message sent" doesn´t cost you anything. Ths message is generated localy on your device and it means, that the message as left your outbox and is sent to your provider....

You don´t have to care about it.....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Amb669:
hey guys i was under the impression that if i flashed stock firmware using the pc version of odin it was supposed to format my phone to clean without having to use recovery to delete everything.

this isn't the case with me, odin pc (ver 1.85) seems to be dirty flashing these stock roms on my phone if i don't wipe in recovery.

is this right or is something wrong here?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
I've seen the same thing. It doesn't necessarily wipe the internal sd card
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Misterjunky:
re: odin pc

That's the way all the version of Odin PC work.

That's why it's always best to go into recovery and do a clean wipe including data,

system, cache, dalvik cache and last but not least do a "Factory Reset" in recovery.

Doing it that way always gives the best results. (it does not wipe the sdcard)

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] polish_pat:
Hey guys,

A lot of people have been hard bricking their device, a lot more than usual, probably because Kit Kat touches the bootloader, so i'm simply asking to you prevent and keep and image of your system dump on your SD card using this tool.

In case of a hard brick, this will allow you to restore your system image and potentially save you big $$$.

This only works if you are already on 4.4

Simply flash this in recovery, save it on internal SD then copy to external SD and keep a copy on your PC

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BossMan6:
Does this work for any Rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] polish_pat:
This can be used on any stock based 4.4 firmware. The rom doesn't matter because the files it copies are core OS files that are found in any rom

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pruthul:
I really don't know where to start or put this thread into.

But I saw once on a website that there was a programme/apk file that can switch og turn any phone into another phone.

I mean if I have a Samsung S4, the programme can do so that my phone thinks it's, for example, a Motorola X. There are for example some apps in the store that require that you have a Motorola X, and that programme could tell the store that you have a Motorola X when you actually have a Samsung, Nokia, etc.. Please help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASMI1:
well you can do it manually by editing the build.prop but root access is needed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pruthul:
I have root access. Where do I find the build.prop file?

I've searched for it but can't find it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scientific calculator:
you can find build.prop under /system (/system/build.prop)

if you'll search the play store for "build.prop editor" you can find some tools for modifying it.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] 123386761:
I will be getting a Sony Xperia E from Immix (with a SIM Card), and I am wondering if I am in the correct section of the forums. I have a few questions, since I had an HTC One V before, about the current status of this phone:

Has this phone been S-Off'd yet?

If not, is TWRP at least released for this phone?

I think that's it. I'll update with more questions as I get them :)

Thanks in advance,

NarWhat
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] AshRoller:
S-OFF (unlock bootloader) in Sony terms is can be done by visit http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com and follow the instructions. make sure you test by enter *#*#7378423#*#* on dialer and then, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

dunno if someone already build TWRP for Xperia E, but there is CWM for Xperia E
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] 123386761:
Sorry, in [HTC One V] terms, S-Off not only requires the bootloader to already be unlocked, but then you can also edit the boot, radio and other partitions that are still locked while the bootloader is unlocked.

And that phone number is very helpful, thanks! I'll have to test it Wednesday, when my phone is supposed to arrive :)

And about building TWRP, I'll do it. I've built several pieces of software for my previous phone, aaaaand I hope it's the same process LOL
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] AshRoller:
ah sorry forgot that s-off/on terms, i'm also have htc device, S-ON, but unlocked bootloader. :D
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:
You've had a One V? Cool, there's one in the family, still stock, of course.

I think the radio and stuff can be changed even when the bootloader is locked , using Flashtool to flash the firmwares in flash mode. [citation needed] At least the baseband can be changed easily, probably other stuff too.

TWRP has been built for CM10 (actually it's a dual recovery; both CWM and TWRP) by hsr0. Others have been built too, but since our phones have no recovery image, the recovery has to be built into the kernel, and this is the most stable CM10 kernel, I recommend this one. Not sure if there's a stock TWRP, though.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] 123386761:
So from this info I'm guessing you're a major developer for this phone?

Just a note- I plan on unlocking the bootloader as soon as I get the phone, so I don't lose any personal data stored on it :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:
LOL, no. I've just started my first project, and hardly anybody here knows what it is.

Before unlocking your phone's bootloader, be sure to root it (many guides to root it with a locked bootloader here) and backup the TA partition: this partition has some DRM keys that are removed once you unlock the bootloader. I'm not sure what they do, but you can check whether the DRM keys are there or not, so if you take it to Sony, you can reflash TA, unroot, and they'll honour the warranty.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] 123386761:
Oh okay this is good info! Thanks!

**EDIT** should I root, THEN backup the TA partition?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NeoTrix:
Yes.

And also make sure,you've got a few ftf files. :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:
In case you want to know in HTC terms: FTFs are like RUUs, but safer to flash - so much that we've been using Xperia E dual's FTF files on the Xperia E single.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] 123386761:
Cool this is exactly what I'm looking for. Now I feel safe to unlock the bootloader and root :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] 123386761:
Okay, got the phone in yesterday, and after a LONG night of downloading all the necessary files, I am about to use flashtool to root my phone :)

**EDIT** ... sitting in homeroom at school hoping to get this done before class, and realize I don't have an android USB cable on me :l
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Deleted member 5439257:
To flash the kernels, I assume? Just asking to be sure.

:banghead: Didn't you get one with the phone?

Well, have a nice day!

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:
Don't worry; I feel the same way - my Nexus's fastboot drivers work awesome, but Sony's drivers seem to have problems in 8.1. I need to use another PC for this (no other Windows 7 license around)...

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:
You know, I've been liking you (and a couple of other forum members) more and more, as I read your (and their) posts.

Another tip: don't, ever let the battery level on your phone go down below 15%. Because when the battery goes down to 0%, it's pretty difficult to wake it up - I just had to wake up mine.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] 123386761:
Thanks! And I've already been at 8% once >_>... I just let it charge overnight, like I do every night. Now it's back to normal :D

Downloading Windows 7 now, 90% done. Will post results after installation of OS + Android SDK + phone drivers :l
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] 123386761:
Man screw this phone, all it does is mess more stuff up. After installing Windows 7 JUST FOR THIS PROJECT, W7 overrides my boot sector of my HDD. So now every time I want to start another OS, I have to plug in a flash drive (thanks Microsoft. realllll helpful.) *I have a fix for this, but it's tedious*. Then after unlocking the bootloader, being the dumbass I am, read on a tutorial that you lose your DRM keys. Now I don't have them (still don't know what these do, but think it has to do something with my next issue). Final issue: Soft bricked my XE. This is the kicker. After about 4 hours of work trying to get the unlock ready, it screws my phone up. Says the process went well, go to reboot, aaaaaand bootloop. Found somewhere on these forums how to get it out of the bootloop, but the file you need 404'd. Already freakin sick of this phone and want to throw it at a wall.

Here's my post about it.

MatsPunt's post is what you need for your phone. For your PC, boot from the Windows disc, and when you reach the "Install Now" button, press Shift+F10 to get a command prompt, and make sure you don't have any flash drive or USB HDD (or your phone) plugged in. Now put these commands in:

bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /fixmbr
bootsect /nt60 SYS /force

And reboot. Hopefully, you're done. If not, well, nothing can go bad.
