Yes, that enable flag will need to change after each boot as init rc is in the ramdisk. Simply do it from adb shell or terminal emulator after su. Changes to /system will be persisted though. I did my sdfix by manually alter permission.xml file and that works even after reboot. Same for the additional root CA certs I added to my system.

To persist ric enable, may be able to add script into init.d but doing it in rc and repack the ramdisk and ramdisk which contains the ramdisk is simply easier for end user. That's why i read DooMLoRD instructions on how to mk bootimg but no success so far with 108.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] patwang0311:
Finally successfully created a new boot.img (with instructions DooMLoRD left in various threads in xdadevelopers) which is bootable using DooMLoRD's dt.img (my original dt.img was created from 757 source tree which causes a bootloop with latest 108 firmware). This is actually just DooMLoRD's boot.img from V05 with:

/sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable 0

(Changed that in init.sony-platform.rc as what master DooMLoRD did with V04 with ramdisk.cpio from stock Generic AU - that's the ROM I am using). zImage is identical (checked md5sum).

Flashed this with 'fastboot flash boot newboot.img' and I got my rooted remountable /system persisted through reboots.

Don't think I would post this here without DooMLoRD's approval as this is his works (dt.img which works and the recovery cpio img are from his V05). Better wait for the master himself to update or got his consent to do so if he is too extremely busy (he has contributed to so many Xperia devices!).
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] borneanheadhunter:
ok. so far the flashed the latest ftf worked and booted fine. but when i fastboot boot boot.img in adb for http://xdaforums.com/show...632808&page=15 i'm stuck in bootloop. any ideas? i'm in C6903_14.3.A.0.681_1276-7939_R3C Customized MY firmware.

Please provide some pointers
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] patwang0311:
I would guess incompatible dt.img. For "C6903_14.3.A.0.681", you will need V02 - not the latest V05, which is meant to be for 14.4.A.0.108.

I did realize bootloop when generating dt.img from 757 source tree using dtbTool and deploy it in 14.4.A.0.108 (haven't seen the latest kernel source released from Sony Mobile open source archive yet - only 757) and mkbootimg into the latest 108 kernel. However, using the dt.img unpacked from 108 stock kernel.sin (using DooMLoRD's unpack_kernelsin.pl) will not have this issue. So all come to all -> dt.img not compatible between Android 4.4.4 and 4.4.2 (from .681 firmware).

Learned that an easy way to test is just to use hotboot:

fastboot boot boot.img

Don't flash boot straight onto your phone. If you see the Sony logo and phone turn off with a charging battery -> that boot.img is good. If there is bootloop, you normally won't see the logo and the phone will reboot with the existing flashed boot image instead.

Anyway, try V02 if your ROM is "C6903_14.3.A.0.681" based.

I know this is really stupid, I was on Wicked Sensations rom and went to MIUI and read if you couldnt make calls to go back to mf1 and it didnt fix anything so I flashed back to ML1 and when I did I reflashed my Wicked Sensation file. I cant make calls or receive them right now. Just data mms, internet and sms works, I did notice that Secondary BootLoaders were being flashed during the MF1 flash and I think that might be the issue? Any ideas?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] JarMann:
Hi,

I've been dreaming about a Jasjar for more than a month, searching all the web for something used at a reasonable price.

Finally I found and bought one on eBay for 398 Euros (shipping included).

Before paying I would like to know if the device will work in Italy with my SIM card "WIND" and if I will be able to set it up for Email etc...

The seller says that he bought it on Expansis.co.uk and it's SIM Free.

I'm not interested in changing the language since english ROM updates are more frequent, but will I be able to register my device in clubimate (is it .com or .co.uk?) for the updates?

I will really appreciate some help from somebody.

Thank you
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] dvl:
hmmm

if it is a real jasjar and not a tmobile mda pro (DOUBBLE CHECK) it should work with any provider.

i find it very brave to buy a phone like that voor 400 euros on ebay.. so scary, and you wont know what he is sending you.. could have a broken screen or a stylus which has been stuck the wrong way around in its hole.. or a broken mini usb slot..

If you want to register it at imate you should get the imate details of him (if he has registered the phone there) If it is stolen then you wont have luck on imate.com

Also 400 euros i think is very cheap for a real jasjar.. i placed my qtek9000 on a marketplace and got real offers of 500 euro plus within an hour.

Best thing i can advise is to buy one which you can see before you pay. Or else buy it with gurantee..

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spownie:
greatings, I have been on this board some time i am only not a poster.

i have been looking everywhere but i cant find the answer. i have purchase a note 3

never read about the new knox system and i was thinking just install a custom rom like my note 1

but its not that easy. i got a Vodafone one and there is so many bloatware on it that i made the

decision to upgrade and install a custom rom and trip the knox and don't have any warranty.

i got the 4.3 firmware info

AP: N9005XXUDMJ6

CP: N9005XXUDMJ4

CSC: N9005VFGDMJ1

its a dutch model and i have read that this one already got the new bootloader. and you cant root it too

delete all the bloatware.

before i can install a custom rom i have to upgrade to 4.4.2 kitkat but there is not one for Vodafone yet.

now my question is can i flash the normal PHN N9005XXUENA6 firmware from the Netherlands.

i have lookt but i cant find the answer if i can flash that firmware over the Vodafone one. and i need too

be 100% if i don't **** it up and kill my phone.

i really hope somebody can help me and get in the right direction.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyson77:
So I have a note 3 Att branded. And they are a bunch of A$$holes and willnot unlock the device because i am the second owner.

yes it has a clean Imei. So I have been debating on the option of Unlocking my device through a web site.

I currently use it with straight talk with the BYOP program so i use a ATT sim. But I have been having issues with MMS messages,

from what i have been reading this is mainly a ATT issue. so I thought if I use a Tmobile sim card it may correct the issue.

what do you think?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BewareAlbatross:
Just putting this out there in case it's remotely helpful for you, I went through that insanity with a preowned iPhone 4 from ATT that I wanted to use with T-Mobile and I solved it by going in the opposite direction. I went to T-Mobile. Might be the neighborhood but the nice people there pointed me to a nearby electronics store who also did cellphone unlocking and for a fee that I can't remember off the top of my head they used some internal system and got my phone factory unlocked within 24 hours, after ATT had told me that they wouldn't do it.

If you happen to live in New York I can tell you where I went, otherwise I can say go look for a local electronics store and see if they'll submit the request for you... Or ask at your local T-Mobile store whether they know a store who does unlocks. I don't understand enough about this stuff to explain but I can at least relay that it worked out well enough for me. The iPhone 4 worked fine with T-Mobile afterwards.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbryson16:
I have always used ebay or an "unlocking" site. I have used both methods quite a bit because I sell phones on ebay and I used to work for a friend that owns a couple prepaid phone/service stores. I also worked at a small tech repair store and did unlocks there as well. Anyway my point is that the government and the phone companies have made it a lot harder and more expensive to unlock newer phones. Also I would do your research on tmobile in your area before spending too much money on unlocking. It may be different for you but in my area tmobile and sprint suck as far as coverage. Plus tmobile doesn't have lte.

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] hutchinsane_:
Hey guys, I don't know if this is of any use for you, but I think it won't hurt to share it.

Based on some posts and ideas I read in different threads, I managed to write to the EFIESP and the PLATpartition of the stock rom of my HTC 8S. I changed the bootimages in the PLAT partition to a custom one,flashed the image and it worked. I'll attach a picture to prove it and if that's not enough, I will post a video. :P

So, the first step is to download the stock rom (obviously...) and extract the .exe file. (I use 7-ZIP) Then there is a file called "RUU_signed.nbh". If you open it with a Hex Viewer, like HxD, you can find multiple partition Headers. I found 4 that I can use, the rest is encrypted with what appears to be Bitlocker, hence the different headers. Now, what I did was mark the area of the first partition (starts approximately at offset 228BEF90 and is a FAT16 Partition) and continued the selection until the end of the file. Then I created a new one and pasted it. I ddid the same with the rest, always selecting and copying from where the partition starts until the end of the whole file and pasted it into a new one. Then I mounted the files using OSFMount and voilà, you can put stuff and files in there! If you finished, you just unmount the files. Then I opened each file again with HxD, selected EVERYTHING and pasted it

to the according area in the original RUU_signed.nbh. I started with the first one, then the second and so on, so you don't overwrite the changes you have made if you start in reverse order. After packing the file, I tried to flash it and to my surprise, IT WORKED! :D After rebooting I saw my custom bootimage! Downside of this is obviously that it requires you to use the stock firmware and it will be overwritten once you update your device. But I hope our skilled Devs here have some use for those 2 partitions. :) Theres 2 more that are usable, but I don't know their names, but you can still put files in them.

Now again, I don't know if this is of any use for you devs, but I still felt kind of obligated to share it :P

Stupid thing, I put my HTC 8S into Diag Mode and THEN flashed it, now it doesn't connect as MTP but as HTC Diagnostic Interface and I can't change it back because I can't deploy anything to the device. It works perfectly, boots and everything, but no USB Connection via MTP. So be very careful before flashing, since the mode is determined by a NV value which you can't edit afterwards.

This is not a tutorial to be followed by everyday users, but something ment for developers. You do everything at your own risk! And keep in mind that this has only been tested on an HTC 8S!

cheers, hutchinsane_
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ultrashot:
Yeah, I heard that it is possible, though I hadn't had a chance to test it on my 8X.

As for EFIESP: you can edit \efi\Microsoft\Boot\BCD to enable Kernel Debugger functionality and it is basically enough to hack the whole OS even with actions currently performed.

The most interesting partitions are MainOS (second to last), and Data (last one). Interop Unlock can be done in MainOS.

Thing is that newest ROMs are encrypted (not hard to crack but still)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] hutchinsane_:
Darn, hoped I was the first to come up with the idea. :P I do have acces to the file you're talking about. MainOS seems to be encrypted with Bitlocker since their headers start with -FVE-FS-. I could take a look into the 8X Rom aswell, I expect the situation to be the same. :) So is there a thread on the Kernel Debugger thing?

EDIT: I just did what you set, although I used a program called "Visual BCD Editor" since I don't know about editing the BCD Store just YET. Now I edited some values from "False" to "True" and for 1 second it showed me what appeared to be a windows boot selection. Now when I boot up, and once the "Windows Phone" blueish logo appears, it shows "Not for resale", meaning that we actually can edit BCD on this device!

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] hutchinsane_:
[MENTION=4542506]ngame[/MENTION] Thanks :) If you look at your first 2 screenshots, you didn't select the "ë" You MUST select and copy it aswell, it's always the start of a partition, fot FAT aswell as for NTFS. After that, you should be able to mount. For finding the end, I didn't. I just Selected until the end of the file and pasted it back in. :) It should work, Afterall, my HTC has a "custom" rom aswell now, since there's a custom bootimage :D

[MENTION=1794621]ultrashot[/MENTION] Thanks! I used the commands and it worked succesfully. Waiting on the phone to flash now :)

EDIT: It doesn't boot once you set a) the target b) the type or something else. but enabling the kernel debugger itself works. Trying to figure out which value makes it unbootable.

Here is a list of partitions from my 928 .ffu but which ones are needed to edit? Just the FAT and NTFS partitions? Are any of the others of any interest?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] hutchinsane_:
As far as I know, you have to look for the specific headers, since some are encrypted with Bitlocker, therefor have the "-FVE-FS-" header. Easiest way is to use the search function of HxD and search for NTFS, FAT12 and FAT16 partitions :) Also, there are no stupid questons :P
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] tonbonz:
:highfive: Here's a better list including the device layout and read and write partitions if it helps anyone. Also when mounting FAT16 or FAT12 partitions it says it needs to be formatted or is unsupported. What am I doing wrong??? :(

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Nokser:
Interesting fact...

Interesting fact:

Comparing files MAINOS (NTFS)... NTFS file from Huawei and Samsung NTFS file:

If, we split these files by hand, we get very similar files, but, in the header file NTFS from Samsung we have information addresses for sectors / partition. What really helps situation porting / modification ROM for Samsung device. All file FFU, with the rest of the devices, does not include: data table information / addresses of sectors in NTFS partition (MainOs).

Maybe this information is helpful..

well, if you're about real sectors offsets: yes, it is a bit more complicated in FFU. But not a big deal anyway.
