[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tsiros:
I am trying to do this, as well. But from what i understand it is VERY difficult.

to BOOT linux, you need 2 things: a kernel that can run on the omap and a program that will LOAD the kernel.

the omap has an arm926 processor. the omap is a cpu+other things.

to boot the kernel we need something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loadlin

also we have to find a way to make the kernel show some output:

1. serial

2. lcd

also some input.

1. serial

2. keyboard

we have to compile an arm kernel and we have to find a way to boot that kernel. i have slackware linux on my laptopand i am trying to make arm simple kernel

the bootloader i can start, but i can not find a way to talk to it. i have searched and asked but i have not found anything. i am angry! i want to remove the bootloader it does not do anything! argh!

please if you are serious about this, tell me in an email or a personal message (PM)[/url][/list][/list]

I know all this, what I just want to know is how to interact with my HTC in boot mode because if I cannot even send command how could I install a boot loader. I am trying to do things in steps.

The first one is to understand how I can dialog with HTC...

I noticed someone out there has tried to make a lcd driver for the omap850. We need to know more about the device.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tsiros:
i do not think we need an lcd driver. we need only find the address of the framebuffer. i do not know... :/

Hey, I just factory reset my phone and now I'm re rooting it using saferoot which I have done in the past. I have followed the instructions and have USB debugging on and clicked ok when it asked to be authorized. I also have kies and everything else all good. I run the app and press a key and it gets stuck here

[*] Testing adb usability

Plug in your phone and Press any key to continue . . .

I press a key like it says and it doesn't move and it's been nearly an hour now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
What happens when you unplug, restart both your phone and computer then try again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StlrFan:
Did you turn on USB debugging? Developer Options is hidden by default on 4.3. You have to goto settings/about phone/ then repeated tap on the build number area. Will pop up something like "a couple more clicks and you'll be a developer" or something close. Keep pressing.... then you should have developer options in your settings menu. Make sure to check "USB debugging"

Sorry, just re-read your post. The USB debugging was my issue last night

Idk why but it randomly started working. Everything was right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jst07:
Hey guys, My Gnex died today and I was just going to see if anyone has any ideas of how I might be able to fix it. Here's what happened. My phone was charging today and it was about 25% or so charged, I had been using it on and off. After a while I went and unplugged it and the screen didn't light up like normal. So I tried to turn it on and nothing. I figured it had just crashed so I did a battery pull and tried to start it. I'm not getting anything out of the phone now. I replaced the battery with a stock one from Amazon about 4-6 weeks ago, so I am hoping maybe that thing crapped on me and not the phone. Does anyone have any ideas or anything to try? I'm going to try and get to a phone repair shop tomorrow to see if they can check the battery or look at the phone.

That aside, anyone have any upgrade suggestions? I'm really trying to hold out for the Galaxy S5, but I went to VZ today (which was useless) and I was eying the LG G2.

Thanks guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgnex:
Maybe try omap flash it could help. As for the upgrade: thats just your personal prefrence. I really like nexus devices and I will probably buy the next Samsung Nexus (if it comes)..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sxm2:
hey maybe its not charging. The nexus usb charge port is known to fail. Amazon has replacements like ~$10.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jst07:
The battery had a charge on it when it failed, and still won't come on. I dropped it off at a local repair shop, so hopefully they can see something with it that won't cost me an arm and a leg.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sxm2:
Hey, my thinking was the phone died because 25% is not a lot for these phones. If you have a fully charged 2nd battery and the phone wont start, then the usb port should be fine. So no boot animation, no fastboot? Pressing all three buttons gives nada?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jst07:
So far, nada. The guy at the shop tried a second battery (I don't have one on hand) and didn't get any response out of the phone either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sxm2:
I'd try that OMAP flash that mrgnex suggested then or have the shop do it. Can't hurt. A used Gnex now is like 80-90 i think. S5 sounds nice but unknown. G2 is cool, but they just announced the G Pro 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jst07:
I downloaded the OMAPFlash_tuna.zip folder, installed the drivers, and ran the .bat file in the zip. This is the output I get. It always gives me unknown command d. Anyone know what this means?

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] danyznd123:
Hmmmmm thats strange...

Your phone should have an error with the wifi drivers so try to flash the stock firmware of your phone.

Here is a guide by me
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] shri.vaibhav:
I had also faced this problem when i was using gingerbread. So, i made a backup of my phone and factory reseted it/wiped data using cwm and after reboot my problem was solved:good:

YOU can also try flashing stock rom using odin as stated by danyznd123

BUT FIRST MAKE A BACKUP

Alright. So I'm sure that at least some of you people out there can't watch Netflix twitch.tv etc. And what makes me unsure is that there hasn't been a thread on this so here we go.

I've been trying to fix video streaming on cm10, miui, aokp etc. But i haven't found anything that works as of yet. In hoping that someone here knows how to fix this or can collaborate with me in finding a way to fix this!

Thanks for reading, and any help would be greatly appreciated :)

[HTC Desire C] russell664:
It could be down to something like gralloc? That's what renders onscreen, isn't the Desire C source code hacked to make this even remotely work? Have you looked at a logcat when it tries to play bro?

if you can attach one to your next post, so I can take a look, as I'm away from my Desire C as of now.
[HTC Desire C] uchihasparky:
Yah, I'll give logcat soon, you will have to figure it out though as I don't really know what to look for in a logcat... :P
[HTC Desire C] wilberfish:
Was a fix found for video streaming?
[HTC Desire C] ozi95:
It needs to be fixed. Streams not watchable on our phones.

It will be great if you guys fix the bug.

thinking of going from an S3 to an HTC one on Verizon. The only thing im worried about, which I actually use is Wifi tether. Is the HTC a better phone than an S3? Pros and cons?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Crawshayi:
If you root it you can run Wifi tether just fine. Is it a better phone than the S3? Of course. Those phones are from different generations. The One would be best compared with the S4, not the S3. I came from the S4 and love the One, but the S4 has some major advantages to the One. It really depends on your needs...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] screaming01l:
I have an S4 with Sprint for work and an S3 for myself, Both 4g lte, but the sprint network is pretty pathetic vs Verizon and at time I tether my s4 and my table Galaxy tab or not, or whatever it is LOL, non phone tablet

My Verizon line is still under the unlimited So ill be buying a used Htc if I go that route.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] HypostaticOnion:
I love the HTC build quality better

If I've helped, please hit the thanks button
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
There is no root for 4.4 and above. So if you get a HTC one with 4.4 or 4.4.2 there is no root method as of yet. Plus it looks like there is a m8 coming out so may want to wait for a more current phone and not last years model. Not saying there's nothing wrong with the one as I love it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
The only down side that kind of bugs me is the fact that the battery is not removable, and there is no sdcard slot. Other than that i love it. I just got a second One yesterday for my wife, and it came still on jb. Had it unlocked, s-off, and rooted in about five minutes. One edit of a system file, and the native tether app works fine.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TheAppleAndroidGuy:
I might wait, they're supposed to be announcing the new Galaxy S5 and HTC M8 pretty soon I believe. Unless you want to get a cheaper phone and go with the One I suppose. If I were you I'd wait a bit longer though.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] yoshway:
Yeah I would wait as well... that way you can either get the new One or S5 or get the old one for super cheap. HTC one is a great phone tho, by far my favorite phone yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] OldeWilly:
HTC One of course!

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tots85:
Hi,

This has not been a good month for me. I have falshed several roms in the past to my kindle fire and my HTC One with success, never encountered any problem. However, this month I managed to brick, both my kindle and my HTC. I finally ubricked my HTC One and I hope to get some guidance to unbrick my kindle fire 1st generation.

My kindle used to have Cyanogenmod and I was trying to update it since my battery was lasting that much. I first made a backup, just in case something went wrong. However, when erasing cache and dalvik I also by mistake erased the backup and suddenly I had no OS (however, I still had twrp). Then I thought making my kindle stock again and then rooting again was a good idea but it wasnt, since running a .zip file which had Amazon stock softwear erased twrp and I am now stock in the kindlfire white and orange logo.

What I have tried.

My computer runs windows 8.1. However, since windows 8.1 was not compatible and probably is not comaptible with anything, with hboot 1.44 (which my HTC One had) I created a bootable usb running ubuntu 12.04 (which thanks to the gudinace of nkk17 I was able to ubricked my HTC). Before today, I tried ubricking my kindle with windows 8.1 and I actually got to the point where the kindle was recognized by windows (for a second I thought I was going to acheive something) as a Kindle, however I was not able to send commands (did read several forums, treads and information about commands in windows, but had no luck).

I hope ubuntu helps me unbrick my kindle (of course with the help and guidance of xda members).

Having said the above, my kindle currently turns on but is stuck in the kindle white and orange logo.

I have runned several commands in ubuntu, but my devices is not listed. I did order a factory cable, however since I am loacted in Mexico it is going to take some time to get it and hope to fix it before that.

Can anybody helpme please (I have read multiple threads starting from the beginers guides but have had no sucess). Help will be most appreciated.

Today, Samsung announced that it would be pushing out KitKat to a slew of its Android-powered smartphones. Although we’re not precisely sure on specific dates for T-Mobile devices, the 4.4.2 update will be rolling out from today.

Among the list of devices being supported are the Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S 4 and S 3 as well as others. Full press release below:

DALLAS, February 18, 2014 – Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile) announced today that a number of Samsung Galaxy® devices will receive the Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) software update, enriching the Galaxy experience.

The upgrade provides a number of innovative, easy-to-use features that enhance the user experience, including a more intuitive user interface, enhanced messaging capabilities and updated applications:

· Location Menu: An integrated location menu enables users to easily activate GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile networks, while simultaneously checking the battery usage of apps running location service capabilities.

· Enhanced Messaging: Enables users to choose between Messages or Hangouts as their preferred default messaging application, and select from a larger assortment of updated Emoji icons.

· Upgraded Google Mobile Service™ (GMS) apps: Users can automatically back up photos and video and can open, view, rename and share Google Docs and files.

Samsung Galaxy U.S. devices currently scheduled to receive the KitKat update include select carrier variants of the Galaxy Note® 3, Galaxy Note® II, Galaxy S® 4, Galaxy S® 4 mini™, Galaxy S® 4 Active™, Galaxy S® 4 zoom™, Galaxy S® III, Galaxy S® III mini™, Galaxy Mega®, Galaxy Light, Galaxy Note® 8.0, Galaxy Tab® 3, Galaxy Note® 10.1, Galaxy Note® 10.1 2014 Edition.

Availability varies by carrier and product, with updates beginning today and continuing throughout the coming months.

If you have one of the Galaxy devices mentioned in the announcement, be sure to let us know when/if the update lands. T-Mobile isn’t always speedy when it comes to giving the green light to software updates on Android. Let’s hope these start to land pretty snappish.

TWEAKED 2.0 NOTE 3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] marcoxx626:
Don't update, the bootloader might be locked. It best to wait for a dev to get a hold of the firmware and make it into a flashable rom that doesn't include the bootloader.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Eric214:
I am used to waiting to take updates being on VZW and what they did with breaking root with the Bionic and then the S4 fiasco. But why would Tmobile launch a phone with an unlocked bootloader only to lock it after an OTA update? It's one thing to patch an exploit, but to lock an unlocked bootloader when it was meant to launch unlocked I think would be stange. Again, I'm waiting anyway, but I think the phone will stay unlocked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cun7:
Not sure how excited I am for 4.4.2

No app ops. I can't believe google would intentionally remove a vital security feature. I guess we'll just have to add it back in :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rhetorician:
I agree! In fact, that's the first thing I thought about when I heard about the news.

We do, however, still have xPrivacy, though. I've donated to the developer and hopefully we'll see continued development including, I hope, a more user-friendly system closer to the way App Ops works. (For the record, I'm not knocking xProvacy; rather I'm pointing out that it could be easier to manage for laymen like myself.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dragonstalker:
i'm guessing you are right. But you have to remember, it's not TMO that's doing it. It's all part of Sammy Knox initiative to make the phones more secure. If you have an unlocked bootloader, there's no way to say that your product is secure. We've picked apart the last 3 builds /na6/na7/nb3 of kitkat from germany, and there's alot of pointless crap built into these roms that will have to be pulled out to , along with the regular developmental crap that sammy puts in there for "Future Updates" Like fingerprints scanner perms and instructions, radios that will never be used, and something pointing to a backup antennae even though the phone does not have one (that's for the note 10.1)

I think they are being lazy, , making one huge TW Rom and then modifying it for individual devices. If you look at the S4 release and the Note 3 release, they are identical builds minus screen size settings and the addition of spen support.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sacky73:
Any idea when the TMobile update will be available? Sprint customers are getting theirs from today.

I've have been with tmo from the beginning of this computer like smart phone generation, and I will say we are almost always the last to get an update. .. Our wifi calling and wifi alone had a bug for 6 months now no update when other carriers got the fix. .. Just saying. ...

Evertime there's an update these discussions happen. ... When when when. .. sit back relax and flash someone else's rom. ... lol

IKR, the wifi bug is pissing me off!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bladehawk:
Apparently using Mobile Odin you can flash the update with rootkeeper and you keep Knox at 0x0 and get a rooted 4.4.2 (make sure you set it to reboot into download to flash the bootloader)
