Hello every one so Im having a bit of a problem with Dsploit (Version 1.1.3b) and whenever I try to execute an action using any tools under MITM it will show a spinning wheel and it will pretty much take forever and not do anything. I have an S4 by Tmobile and running version 4.2.2

Is there something I am missing? I have installed BusyBox, I dont seem to know what the problem is and google wasnt much help.

Also, upon opening Dsploit it asks me "A metasploitframework update is available, do you want to download it?" shows up but i honestly don't know if its relevant or not so i disregard it and always press No (Im a noob)

One other thing is that i dont have a microsd card but idk if that has anything to do with it.

In conclusion, What Can I Do To Solve This?

I picked up the Sony Smartwatch 2 yesterday and compared it to the Pebble in regards to hardware.
[Sony Smartwatch] Nomad1600:
Nice video, helpful to people deciding between the two. I really like some aspects of the Pebble. I like the community support aspect for one thing... with the Sony, you are much more dependent on Sony and a smaller number of developers to add value. I like some of the apps/extensions available on the Pebble. I especially like the greater number of watchfaces available... I'd pay for the one you show on the Pebble... a low-power watchfaces that shows weather and notification counts? Sure would save the power button from all the times you need to wake up the phone to check an extension.

Ultimately, both watches will be pushed aside by "smarter" watch designs to come in the next year or so. The HOT watch, or the Gear2, or something like the Omate. I am continually tempted and would make the jump if these were a bit smaller, a bit cheaper, and (biggest issue... :D available.).
[Sony Smartwatch] seoulbrova:
There's so much I like about the smart watch2 compared to the pebble. Unfortunately, there's just minor hiccups IMO that keep it from being great. I wish it was slightly more responsive to touches and I noticed slight lag in some instances. I love the flashlight, timer apps that are built in.

I really think Sony will hit it out of the park with the sw3.

I'm excited to see what the second gen gear will offer as well.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wha2do:
Sorry, I'd thought I'd posted under Q&A/Help. Not sure if a moderator can move it where it belongs?

My tf300t (ICS v9.3.4.17) is unlocked, rooted, and has TWRP 2.6.3.0 installed. I also have created the nvflash backups so it's currently running on the AndroidRoot v9.4.3.30r01 bootloader. I've stayed with

ICS and not updated anything except TWRP, but was just about to update to either ICS v9.4.3.30 or jump and install the latest JB.

Earlier today I went into Terminal Emulator, typed su and reboot as I've always done. I thought my tablet had shutdown because the screen stayed blank. I tried the power button and nothing so thought

maybe my power button had given out. I then tried plugging in the charging/usb cable which normally would get it to boot and again blank screen. Last I tried connecting to my pc and found it was in

APX mode. I'm able to boot up from nvflash and function normally but I'm stuck once I shut off the tablet from ICS (have to rerun nvflash to boot up again).

When I power off from APX mode, it automatically restarts back into APX mode. I was able to get into TWRP and tried restoring my latest nandroid (System, Data, Recovery, & Boot partitions) but no

change. Also tried a factory reset but same results - booting into APX yet again...

Ack, at this point I'm about ready to punt. I have my backups (TB & Helium) and am thinking of trying to update to v9.4.3.30 to see if this clears up booting into APX mode. To do this, can I just install the single

zip using TWRP & then re-flash TWRP using adb (or fastboot assuming I get it back)? Or do it via nvflash? If by nvflash, are these the correct commands after unpacking the v9.4.3.30 blob:

nvflash -r --download 4 blob.EBT

nvflash -r --download 10 blob.APP

nvflash -r --download 6 blob.LNX

Thoughts or ideas are really appreciated!

APX Mode

WoW that is an old bootloder:p..... v9.3.4.17 What is the SKU of that bootloader??

Enter APX mode and bootstrap in, If thats the ways its done.. I don't know because, I did my nvflash after jb came out...Run this command

nvflash -r --go

It will not reboot your tablet but it is supposed to let the bootloader resume on go which should be the next boot....

Just long hold your power button and let your tablet boot normally... Let me know if this helps at all... Thx lj

O yeah just be aware that the newest version of TWRP is having some issues... Just a FYI
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wha2do:
Thanks for the reply. The bootloader is the original one loaded when I created the nvflash backups. When rebooting from nvflash and holding the vol down button, I see:

Android cardhu-user bootloader <2.10 e> released by "WW_epad-9.4.3.30-20120206"

This had to have been universal for all that ran it way back when, though the SKU on my tablet is US (US_epad-9.4.3.2012...) and no real issues in over the year I've had it.

The nvflash -r --go command is the same as nvflash --resume --go...both reboot the device (nvflash help verifies they're the same).

------> Back to the issue at hand *sigh* <-----

So... I'm still having to reboot from APX mode using nvflash and hold the volume down button. At that point I can either enter TWRP or leave it go and it'll cold boot - no icons

display for fastboot, etc. It just shows:

Platform Pre OS boot configuration...

Cold-booting Linux

And then it will boot into ICS, though found it may just go back into APX mode again. It can take several tries, but it'll finally boot properly.

Sooo...what's my next step? Have noticed TWRP 2.6.3.0 seems to be a bit flaky in the past. Should I try installing US_epad-user-9.4.3.30.zip using TWRP? I have

OTA Rootkeeper installed with SuperSU so root should either remain or be restorable (fingers crossed). Or do I need to use nvflash to flash each partition? Or finally go

back to my original nvflash blobs? I really don't want to move forward and screw up something worse than it is!

Side note: I've tried to install tried & true TWRP v2.3.1.0. Using adb, it appears to flash successfully, I reboot into ICS, and then nvflash boot into TWRP - but I'm still

on v2.6.3.0. Possibly not rebooting smoothly into ICS isn't allowing the img file to take? For now will deal continue using my installed version v2.6.3.0 I guess...

Thanks for direction on where to go next! And if can, spell out my steps to take in detail (sometimes I may be a tad dense and don't mind any eyestrain, lol).

Ok so you are 100% sure that you have had a US SKU version bootloader from when you got it new????

Where are you getting the firmware zip file from??

And you think this all started because of a wrong recovery flash???
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wha2do:
Thanks for the quick reply... I'm positive on the US SKU - I have a screenshot I took of the SW info when it was brand new - here it is:

http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums...delampSWinfo-2012-11-25-07-29_zps27ba6fc6.jpg

As for the earlier firmware zips I've got, they were provided in one of the XDA posts - possibly this one: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33883254&postcount=3

Nope, it just suddenly started while using the tablet normally. No flashing, restoring nandroids, etc in at least a week or two. I was playing one of my games on the tablet and sometimes the graphics will act

funny or it'll fc on me. So I either do a cold restart or reboot using Terminal Emulator to get the behaving normally again. In this case I rebooted using Android Terminal and suddenly only had a black

screen. Finally realized it wasn't powered down but was going into APX mode... Sorry, just tried flashing the older version of TWRP I'd always used since v2.6.3.0 has been flaky off and on. V2.6.3.0 was

originally flashed about 2-3 weeks ago and I'll just stick with it while working on fixing this!

The only thing I can think which may be unrelated. My daughter loaded a non-market game that was tagged as having Android:Fujacks by Avast! Being non-market, maybe foolishly? I let Avast

uninstall it. But I'm almost positive I rebooted a few times after without any issues. Also restoring an earlier nandroid didn't help, so don't think it's the system or data partitions messed up. Could it

be the boot partition that's gone funky?

That's why I'm wondering if an "upgrade" to v9.4.3.30 would clear this up - and if so, best/safest way to do it? Hope that helps fill in a little more!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lj50036:
Ok the .30 zip from them what is inside the zip??
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wha2do:
It's the normal Stock v9.4.3.30 update from ASUS. It's the "US_epad-user-9.4.3.30.zip" which in turn contains the META-INF folder and the blob file. The blob file contains:

blob.APP ; system img

blob.EBT ; bootloader.bin

blob.LNX ; boot img

blob.PT ; partition table I presume

blob.SOS ; stock recovery img

The blob names are exact and I think I have each identified as to their purpose going from old notes. EBT, APP, and LNX are the three that I believe could/would be flashed using nvflash

if necessary (if can't just install the full update zip & reinstall TWRP over the stock recovery)...

Is that what you're looking for?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lj50036:
Ok so it just a blob binary and a META-INF folder in the zip??
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wha2do:
Yep...standard update zip inside a zip that comes from ASUS.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lj50036:
We need to get to fastboot and verify that we can see your devices boot into the bootloader screen.. As I recall you should have a

usb icon you must select to enable fastboot... Can you get to this point??
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wha2do:
No, the icons one normally sees are missing/not available to be selected. When I reboot from nvflash & hold the vol down button, I only have two options. Volume up to enter TWRP as expected, or it begins cold booting. Guess that got lost in my lengthy message above:

So unfortunately, no fastboot - only ADB, APX, and Recovery (TWRP) modes available.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lj50036:
Ok well we need a different version of twrp than what your on now I would highly recommend a version older that what your on now.. as the newer twrps are buggy 2.5.5.0 is a solid one... Make sure you get the one for your tablet...as there are a few different versions... Than rename it

twrp.blob

Make sure you don't rename it twrp.blob.blob as windows is good at doing still stuff like that.....

Move your twrp.blob to the root of your c drive than open a command window as admin and type

cd /

This will move you to the root of your c drive in your command window than type

dir

This will list all the files and folder in the root of your c drive make sure you see the twrp.blob if so your ready

Boot your tablet into APX mode bootstrap into nvflash mode and type

nvflash -r --download 5 twrp.blob

The output of this will look something like this

Nvflash v1.13.87205 started
[resume mode]
sending file: twrp.blob
- 8165480/8165480 bytes sent
twrp.blob sent successfully

Than

nvflash -r --go

Then try to enter recovery...

Let me know
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wha2do:
Ok - picked up v2.5.0.0 (don't see a v2.5.5.0 on the TWRP website) and successfully installed the .blob file but... As soon as I hit the volume up button it went to cold boot instead. I remembered with the Prime that for some reason, the TWRP img file format needed to be used when on the AndroidRoot bootloader. So long story short, got the img file installed and I have TWRP 2.5.0.0 running at the moment.

So where to next? And thanks so far :)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lj50036:
So you can get into recovery now??? if so, take the double zipped firmware......unzip it one time and the zip that is made move to.....O

Do you have a way to put that zip on an sdcard so we can get it on your tablet?? If not no big deal.... Just let me know if you can make that happen.....
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wha2do:
Sorry, I get over wordy (lol)... Yes, I have TWRP 2.5.0.0 installed and was able to get in. I'd already prepared for this - have the unzipped (once) file sitting in my tablet's root folder (/sdcard). Checked and checksum matched so it transferred without errors (used Airdroid, in case wondering).

Took a few extra minutes - wanted double check all was there as I thought. So yes, have the v9.4.3.30 zipfile (containing META files & blob) on tablet's "root" directory. Currently in TWRP v2.5.0.0 and ready to install it (figuring that's the next step)...

Just give me the greenlight, lol
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wha2do:

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wha2do:

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wha2do:
Still here - at this point have the zipfile unzipped once, on the tablet's root directory, and TWRP v2.5.0.0 installed. I assume going to install the zip file via TWRP Install? Tablet's got plenty of battery charge so good to go - just let me know!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wha2do:
All pieces are ready - install it? Just want to be sure before proceeding...this was the part I originally wasn't sure of! Hopefully TWRP does it (think had read some folks encountered it balking at the install)!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lj50036:
Im not sure either.. Just let me know if it fails we have other options.....is it on your exsdard if so do a full wipe than install
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wha2do:
Yeah, been searching on the web but nothing directly saying yes or no. Way back when had come across a post that stated this was an acceptable method.

Well I'm giving it a try - so far, has loaded successfully in TWRP, but when it rebooted it went back to APX mode. The bootloader is still showing as "WW_epad..." when I would've thought it would

be "US_epad..." if it truly flashed properly. Currently booting back into ICS to see what I have. It's acting like the Dalvik cache was wiped & is rebuilding (I chose not to wipe it, so install must

have done it). Still have the feeling I may have to use nvflash and try flashing the blobs separately.

Will keep you posted and let me know if you find anything else out!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lj50036:
I just wish we had fastboot... I am not a big fan of nvflash especially with blobs that dated....
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wha2do:
Well, good and bad news...it didn't fix my APX issue and I lost root. But it did update to v9.4.3.30 (running stock recovery at the moment). Even though I had SuperSU installed (and run) & made

sure OTA Rootkeeper had a root backup, there's no restore option showing. I'm tempted at this point to take the OTA update and root after...I believe there's new tools out there. Have to check

and see, but means more reading (and little time)!

And biggest is why is it still entering APX mode on reboot...I'm tempted to run "nvflash -r --download 4 blob.EBT" using the unpacked blob file from v9.4.3.30. Just a little fearful that I could

brick it even with my nvflash backups! But my take is it's not boot correctly because of that...do wish had a definite reason for that...
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wha2do:
Curious what the difference would be with the v9.4.3.30 blobs vs more recent ones... In checking, the update curiously enough is for v9.4.3.30 - going to try running it to see if it does something

additional. Also see that JB can be rooted, so wondering about taking add'l OTA's if they're offered. Appears can root even if I update beyond v10.6.1.27.1 so...

Did come across these:

Bricked TF300T only APX works

I've worked with Tobdaryl on some things in the past and sent him a message late yesterday. With his newer work on nvflash and helping on the APX issue, think he'll have some solid guidance/idea of what's messed up.

Well, tired and going hang it up for now. Thanks for the help so far.

Can I install cwm kk compatible recovery by using mobile Odin ??? Or can I use ROM manager to install normal cwm recovery and then install cwm kk compatible recovery ???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
1) Don't use Rom Manager on the S2 at all. Ever. It will break recovery & cause bootloop eventually.

2) Any recovery installed independent of the kernel will not be permanent & will only persist until the next reboot. Why ? Because recovery is baked into the kernel on the S2. If you really want a particular recovery version permanently, you'll have to run a kernel that has it.

So, Check this out; The module I enable in the 510 to get gamma control is "Interface to calibrate LCD color temperature" which is the same one in the 510 that I have enabled to get gamma control on there.

AND it is already enabled in the 500 kernel. this is odd given people say they can't change it. Has anybody tried using trickster mod to change the settings?

There is one other interesting point to this story in that, the lg 500 kernel also has a setting that the 510 doesn't have that is right below the interface setting called "Interface to calibrate LCD color temperature by QLUT" which is also enabled by default in the 500 kernel.

I unfortunately do not currently own the 500 so it will be impossible to test different settings until I get it right.

If somebody with a 500 is using a linux computer (preferably using Debian Wheezy), they can easily follow the guide I wrote to "roll your own kernel" in my signature to compile and test for the 500. The info you would need for the "Anykernel" script to put it back on the 500 device should be present in the ramdisk . . . ?

Sorry I can't do more folks. Without the device it would be silly to post a recompiled kernel I am not certain about. I had hoped that the settings for the 500 would be close enough to simply duplicate, as it is a LGE patch, but no go.

Best regards, Sleekmason

I installed trickster mod. It allows changing of color saturation but don't see a gamma control.
