hi,

i am trying to install CWM recovery on my phone (eventually want to install custon rom)

The phone is a huawei inspira, there no development for this phone. No info anywhere..

Withins the phones readme, it says its a U8666E, so going by the little development for that phone i am trying to install CWM.

I was able to root the phone, and i think i unlocked hte boot loader too (using the unlockbootloader.zip).

I have tried really hard, but am not able to install CWM as the phone is not coming in bootloader mode.

if i press hte power + vol down button phone is stuck in huawei logo (as it should) but PC does not detect it.

If i reboot bootloader (from adb) it just does a normal reboot.

i have tried a whole lot of things (new pc / usb port / cables / drivers etc etc). I every tried putting recovery on sdcard and flashing from terminal emulator of phone with no luck..

i am at a point where i am ready to flash the rom directly.. (risky i know).. but looks like everythong i want to do required me to go to bootloader mode.

I am not begening to think the carrier of my phone (tracphone) has locked the phone so i cant get into bootloader mode.

an any of you experts help me with my problem?

1) how to verify if the bootloader is unlocked?

2) can i flash CWM OR even a custom ROM with out getting into bootloader mode?

3) i have done a nandroid backup of the phone and kept a copy on external SD as well as PC< how do i restore the backup (if required) without CWM?

hi everyone

i have an xperia z1 ,but i discover that ( i think ) i have a typical plastic lens protector and it blur the camera the quality is not the same anymore .. help plz how can i remove it ? i looks like some water in it ( but its not )
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
The Z1 do not come with Camera lens protector, the lens are not covered if you not did that. The problem of the blurry pictures is well know due to the flash of the Z1.

no there is some z1 comes with it .. and no there is no relation with flash ..i said i see something looks like water into the lens and its blurry ..

This may sound stupid, but will CWM backup work via TWRP? I have stock ROM backed up on CWM, and I wanna switch to TWRP. Similar threads seem to imply that it's a no, but these date to over a year ago even - has anything changed?

Also, CWM site allows you to download .img for CWM Touch - wasn't it paid after buying ROM Manager premium? Can I flash it regardless and update it from the site, every time there's an update? (since Touch is supposedly paid and I don't know if the Manager will allow me to push the update, when available)

Themer's display settings configure to what your device is set to. If you device isn't supported, you could always try changing your DPI/resolution settings to another device that is supported, but this isn't always recommended.

I use cleanrom 2.6 with latest elementalx with stock values and gboost enabled and deadline

i get some lags playing modern combat 4 and other heavy games.I could never achieve a steady framerate. Can you recommend something? Im also a little afraid of oc :silly:

So whats your benches on gaming on your roms or kernels?

P.S. Gameloft Sale!

Following games are 0.99 cents:

Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour

sorry for oot, but try install 'heroes of order and chaos'. It's free and good game. Can you pls give feedback whether it runs smooth or laggy, because I want to buy nexus 7
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] motron9000:
I'm currently using stock ROM w/ ElementalX kernel 2.6. CPU @ 1.7Ghz, GPU @ 490Mhz.

I've yet to find any Android games that don't run smoothly and I also have no problems emulating PSP, DS, PSX or N64 (some 64 run a little slower but still playable at 20-30 FPS).

P.S. thanks for the heads up on GL sale items, looks like its time to jump into Order and Chaos.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Shillopellos9:
i have downloaded heroes of order and chaos and it runs smoothly enough. i used a fps tool and the fps was always 30+. sometimes it dipped below 30 but not even noticeable.i only played the first tutorial and a little from the second tut so there you go! if i helped please press the thanks button!

edit: btw there are rumors for a new nexus tablet coming so i dunno if you want to wait.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] CameronJ:
Just a quick note looking to see if anyone else is having the same problems that I've been having the last 24 hours.

I've had my 8125 about 3 weeks - and in that time have successfully upgraded to various summiter AKU2 ROMs. Last night my IT department pushed out a Goodlink policy update requiring passwords on all handhelds. Of course this is a pain in the ass, but I understand the issues and don't really have a problem with this policy.

However, there is a serious issue with the goodlink password requirement and AKU2 - basically they don't seem to work together. Immediately after having the policy pushed to me, the first time I did a soft reset I ended up with a blank white screen, with the task bar on top. The left side of the task bar would quickly flash "password" and then change to "Start" (w/ no start logo) and that was it... Nothing... Soft reset - same problem. The only thing that brought the device back was a hard reset, but once I reloaded goodlink and re-entered the password I was back in the same place.

After pulling my hair out for most of the night (it's not good to go to sleep at 3:00am when you have a client board meeting at 8:30am), I decided on my way to the airport that I would try loading the original Cingular ROM back. Surprise surprise, that worked (sort of - additional details below). After spending a lot of time trying out different solutions today, I've come to the conclusion that goodlink passwords only work with the original Cingular ROM - I don't know if it's a problem with AKU2 or a problem with the customizations.

Anyone else with this issue? I'm currently running goodlink 4.7, I'm wondering if 4.8 will fix any of these problems, I just can't find an OTA link for 4.8 and the cab from goodlink doesn't install correctly.

Additional problems - Even with the original ROM, there are some conflicts with the goodlink password. If I have certain shortcuts in the startup folder (at this point I think its AEBPlus and PQZII), the device freezes immediately after entering the password. After soft-resetting, I can explore the device from my PC while it's waiting for a password and delete the offending shortcuts, soft-reset again, and then I'm back in business.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] irablumberg:
I just posted the same problem earlier today. I have been using the latest Goodlink 4.8 build and have the same problem with AKU2. White screen of death with the status line showing at the top. My IT department turned off the password requirement for me. That seems the only way to fix it so far. I guess this is one reason Cingular has not released new firmware yet.

Ira
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] CameronJ:
well - it's nice to know I'm not the only one.

Unfortunately my company doesn't officially support goodlink on an Windows Mobile devices - only the Treo 650. Given the fact that the device isn't supported AND I'm using a hacked ROM, I can just imagine the laughs they'll have at my expense.

At this point I'll just hang out and wait to see what happens.

I wonder if this is why Palm pulled the AKU2 update for the Treo 700w? Supposedly it was due to a compression issue, but who really knows? I'm posting a message on on treocentral, as there's a Good rep who monitors that board.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] seamonkey420:
just curious.. does your it dept use the remote erase function on the backend?

i believe we do thus we do not require password protect on goodlink...

good to know i shouldn't have probs w/ it on the treo700w since i gotta setup one on fri.. :P
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] CameronJ:
We do, but I work for a company that has become very, very, very conscious of protecting client data - with a couple of in-the-news issues (one moron left a cd with client employee data on a plane). They pushed the password requirement out to blackberries last week, and Goodlink devices this week.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] l44wsn:
Yes Ive had the same problem for last 2 weeks with both mini s and sp5 and goodlink.

Ive just updated goodlink to 4.8 and all seems to be fine.

Ive only just updated to 4.8 today but so far so good.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] CameronJ:
Update

I had some free time on my hands to tinker tonight - so I decided to see if I could test 4.8 with and AKU2 ROM.

Since my company hasn't rolled 4.8 out yet, I had to basically hack it in, which involved extracting the files from the 4.8 desktop installer from the goodlink website and copying those over my existing goodlink backup on the storage card (after copying the originals somewhere else of course).

I'm happy to report that, as of right now, the issue does seem to be resolved. It does look like 4.7 isn't compatible with AKU2 (if you use passwords) - so if this situation applies to you (on 4.7, using passwords) you shouldn't upgrade to an AKU2 ROM.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] irablumberg:
4.8 still does not work for me

I initially loaded goodlink 4.8 and had the password problem with the 2.17 rom. I have given up and am using the stock firmware until there is an official cingular update.

glad to hear others are having better luck.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jpmoller:
I had the same problem with GoodLink 4.7 and the new version 2.x ROMs on my Qtek 9100. I ended up downgrading to version 1.x ROMs (Button 1.5.4.2 WWE works fine with GoodLink 4.7. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dmelnick:
aku2, goodlink 4.7/4.8, cingular 8125, and password policy

Thanks to CameronJ on his post. I was in the same boat, i.e. Going along fine on my Cingular 8125 with the released ROM when my company rolled out a password policy on Goodlink version 4.7. On the released ROM I started having unreliable service (disconnects almost continuously). I finally upgraded to AKU2 before seeing this thread (thanks Summiter for the great AKU2 build). However at that point I hit the consistent White Password Screen of Death as soon as I reinstalled my backup of Goodlink 4.7 and the policy was enforced.

However CameronJ's 4.8 suggestion was perfect. I too couldnt do a normal upgrade but by downloading 4.8 from Good and then copying the entire directory from the Pocket PC 2005/4.8/EN/ directory into my backup directory, I was back up and running with no problems. (this of course ignores all my false starts and problems). Dont use the Smartphone files as those wont work.

I was on the verge of giving up. Thanks for this thread.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] CameronJ:
additional password hacks

After playing around a bit in the registry the last week, I also found how to have a password that violates my organization's password policies. While I understand the reasoning behind having a password, the 30 minute timeout (which is the max my organization lets me set) is way too short. It looks like the goodlink password parameters work in the following way:

- Password policies are passed down through GoodLink and stored in the registry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\GoodLink\Password. There are a number of keys here, including ITLockedTime, ITLocked, ITPasswordMinLength, and a few others.

- When you go into the Lock/Password settings, the control panel settings dialog pulls from these registry keys to determine if your password meets policy.

- After a short period of time, any changes to these registry keys get overwritten back to corporate policy, however, nothing ever checks your password (as long as you don't go back into the Lock control panel extension) to make sure it complies with policy.

Basically, this means that you can change the key for minimum length or timeout and then go into the Lock control panel extension and change your password. I currently have a 1 character password set to timeout every 24 hours (instead of 6 characters that times out in 30 minutes). I've been running this way for about 4 days now, and even though the registry keys are back to policy, my reduced security password is still in force.

ITPasswordMinLength is self explanatory - change this to however many characters you want as your minimum.

ITLockedTime is a little more obscure. The decimal value here corresponds to the number of items in the list of timeout values in the timeout dropdown. 1 means only one item will show up (which is 0 minutes), I think 11 is 24 hours.

ITLocked - I'm guessing that if you set this to 0 it doesn't check these parameters at all, which means you might be able to disable the password. I haven't played with this one yet.

Re: additional password hacks

Wow, I've been looking for this kind of hack for awhile. I'm going mad with the couple minute forced timeout/lock policy I'm forced to live with. Imagine trying to use your pocket pc as a GPS device and it locking every couple minutes! (totally sucks)

Do you know if it's possible to do what did in a normal AKU2 MS Push Mail system? (I dont use goodlink, just regular microsoft push)

Which reg keys do I mess with?

How do you keep the changes from being detected/overwritten?

Thanks!

Any update on rather this has been addressed in a more recent ROM (AKU 2.3?). I am looking to start my company's Goodlink trial program and currently have 2.17. Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] CameronJ:
Re: additional password hacks

An update - this is the best way to go. Set ITLocked to 0, go into the password control panel applet and uncheck the password box. No more password requirement.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] CameronJ:
As long as you are using the most recent version of the goodlink client (4.8 ) you will be fine. The issue is with the previous version of the client (4.7).

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] CameronJ:
This problem only exists with AKU2+ ROMs and GoodLink 4.7 - not 4.8

Also, it appears that any changes that I make to the Good settings in the registry are over-written the very next time it syncs with the Good server.

Password went away!!!!!!!!

Cameron, As per your msg I changed the registry entry ITLocked = 0 and then immediately went into the goodlock program. The prompt password option was enabled where you can uncheck the box. From that point, it never asked for the password....chk it out...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] BBOOZE:
We just had this policy forced on us and I was wondering...if we make this change to the registry, can IT see that we no longer have our passwords enabled? I'm at a small company and have no fear of getting in trouble but it would be nice to know if they will be able to see that or not.

Thanks....this has been stuck in my craw for some time and it's nice to see some resolution!

Hey people I am going to show you how to flash Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine for locked bootloader. I will add how to flashing instructions later but in the meantime I have added screenshots of images when Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine is enabled and when Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine is disabled. You can see the massive difference in the image quality if you have Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine then not.

Before you start:

Must be rooted.

Have a file explorer with root privileges.(I recommend Es File explorer)

Have Flash Gordon installed.(Download it from here)

1)Open your file explorer and navigate to /system and open build.prop with text editor in Es File Explorer.

2)type this is at the bottom of build.prop.

# Sony Bravia Engine
# Mobile Bravia Engine 2
ro.service.swiqi2.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi2.enable=1
ro.service.swiqi.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi.enable=1

3)Save and exit.

4)Download Bravia Engine2.zip to your SD card.(Link provided below)

5)Open Flash Gordon and click on View attachment 2568683

6)Navigate where you saved Bravia Engine2.zip and select it.

7)Select "Normal android way".

8)Flash Gordon will extract the file after extracting finished click on View attachment 2568684

9) Now Flash Gordon will began flashing and say "Flashing".

10)After 1 minute Flash Gordon will still say "Flashing" but ignore that and reboot.

11)Success, Now go to Setting>Display and there you will see the Bravia Engine selecting option it should already be selected but if not select it and boom you have Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 on your Sony Xperia M.

ONLY YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOUR PHONE.
