[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
For all to see and understand why I've stepped away from the Umeox x201.

Here's the problem. The broken and unsecure firmware affects every x201 Umeox makes. So it doesn't matter if it's a TS or a Callisto 100 or a Pearl AW-414/420/421. The firmware is broken on all of them. So it's not a TS issue, it a Umeox issue.

The unsecure status of the firmware is not a simple set ro.secure to 1 as it's already ro.secure=1. This is something completely different as even with that it still runs in an unsecured mode. Here's the thing, this has been an issue for over four months. If who ever is compiling the firmware can't fix this in four months, fire them.

Here's another example. The "EU 2100 working sensors" firmware I released was after ditching the Omate TS kernel and using one I was able to get my hands on from the Callisto 100. It is still not fixed in the official firmware and forces the end user to flash firmware to their device to get working sensors. Some of these folks have problems with even basic computer usage leaving it to independent devs to fix and provide technical support for a Umeox created problem with no direct access to the resources needed. At this time, iconBIT is the only one that even posts their firmware with at least partial change logs and makes it publicly accessible.

Now before the "different B2B partners require different setups" is said. All those changes are in the system partition. If anybody with a copy of SP Tool and two different firmware releases can can swap out the system partition images and make it flashable then there is no reason that Umeox can't do the same. You build one, maybe two, fully working base firmwares and have a system partition image with the needed changes for each of you B2B partners. This eliminates having to build a full firmware for every individual model for every B2B partner.

I'm burnt out from supporting ALL your B2B partners customers as well as KS backers, trying to fix broken firmware with little resources on top of trying to have a life with my family.

So it comes down to this. Umeox either needs to fix the problems they created or ditch there own firmware and replace it with properly supported, secure and working firmware or I will not be coming back. This doesn't apply to just the TS but all x201s being sold. ﻿

I will continue to update the [INFO] Everything for folks but as far as any active development on any x201 running broken Umeox firmware. I'm done.
[Ornate TrueSmart] mnemonic.code:
Just for the record, I can understand your frustration (and I've just been following along the story, I still haven't even gotten my KS reward watch yet), and think you've gone above and beyond the call of duty on this one. That you've had to do it in your spare time, and acted as an intercessionary figure between the "manufacturers" (particularly Omate) and the public is an incredible act of generousity towards the end users, and I don't know about everyone else, but I appreciate it; it was one of the few bright lights shining in an increasingly murky and regret-tinged Kickstarter backing.

So thank you, Lokifish, for your hard work, and if I should ever meet you in person, first round's on me.

Mate - you are totally right and I support you.

You were here, buying devicesand fixing their faults...why?

You worked so they could relax?

All developers should stop everything related to Umex - I'm sure someone will finally react...

You/we could offer support and help but that's not our company and our obligation, especially if they totally ignore they obligation and don't offer any support...

Two years...yeah...my a*s

I still haven't got my device - early October devs edition (O.K that's Omate, but still) and when it finally arrive in may I should work "for them" - NO, ABSOLUTELY NO

Such thing like that what LLP said - to use custom ROM, and to said that to all who wants working device is ridiculous and wrong...

O.K for us backers, that's KS but some guys actually ordered and paid that watch in "store"...

O.K now I'm talking about Omate but I understand what you are saying and support you, actually I'm not supporting you, I beg you - stop with support - they must get what is their job and obligation.
[Ornate TrueSmart] gillebob:
Disappointed by your decision Lokifish but fully understand your reasons, haven't received my TS yet and so haven't really benefited from your work. But without the work you have done that device won't succeed, not sure it will succeed at all now unless Umeox take note and act on this.

Thanks again for the work you've put into this, and just to emphasize and echo your priorities; THERE'S NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN FAMILY.
[Ornate TrueSmart] caderoux:
Totally support you.

It's always a difficult decision whether withdrawing will force vendors to get their act together or redoubling efforts to engage will get results from vendors. You really can't know.

But you can make yourself happy, and that's what counts the most.
[Ornate TrueSmart] The Shagg:
Thank You!

:good: Thank you sir for all you have done, even with all the BS from backers, OEM's & general support help requests. I hope someday they will just release all info on anything using Umeox.

I have just received my shipment from TS today & now read you are out, I wish you return someday.
[Ornate TrueSmart] fyrfyter:
Thanks for what you have done. Just got my TS the other day, so aside from the minor stuff I have figured out, not yet comfortable giving big time advice.

I do thank you for the patch & the root. Helps those out who do need it.

Good luck with your endeavors. Hopefully you will find what you are looking for. I am sure there will always be some of us here.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
They know what they need to do. It's a matter of will they do it and how long will they take. Til then I'm just a guy updating the info index thread and popping in from time to time.

Thank you for all your work. Selfishly, I am very sad to see you leave the project, but support and understand your reasons. All the best with your baby girl.:good:
[Ornate TrueSmart] rawr:
Thanks for all your work. Hope to see you back if they ever get sorted out.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Ierlanfdan:
Hi Locki, said to see you go but I am sure you will be back soon. Bin there, done that.

Some other company I will not mention did the same. Well, eventually they stopped production for 6 months due to well, uhmm, me making some phone calls and writing the detailed truth on forums. Got a personal call from EMEA production manager (which I didn't even knew) a few days later to solve this "problem". And we did. I am sure something like that will happen with you.

And if not, then OmateUmeox will soon be just another startup who failed big time and LLP will have a lot to think of.

But they are not stupid, money will soon be running out otherwise.

If we (Backers, supporters, owners of a Umeox/TS/Pearl whatever) want Locki back and want a good Firmware then it's up to US (as in WE) to make that happen. Locki's leaving is a big sign to LLP, Umeox and whoever is involved. And to us it's the same big sign.

Let's give back what Locki did for us and what Locki's intention still are. We all want a better product.

WE can make a difference. Let's get creative and find ways how we can convince Omate/LLP/Umeox that this is NOT how we want to continue.

WE made the TS by funding it. So WE have the power to do that too.
[Ornate TrueSmart] speedyink:
Thanks Lokifish, seriously. I don't have my TS yet, but I am relying on your patches and stuff to get it working properly when I do get it.

Thank you very much for your hard work, and though it's sad to see you go, I can totally see why it has happen. Take care and enjoy the time with your family =D
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lioubov33:
I am really greatful for all Locki's work, but now what? What can WE do? What's Laurent LePen plans? Where can I get any information about what's cooking? ;)
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
I'm still providing low level support but deving has stopped. there is only so much that can be done with the current firmware. Until source code is obtained from MediaTek, do not expect to see any CM/AOSP/AOKP releases. At least for now folks on the patch or are properly rooted are safe. I know it's not perfect but please keep in mind the ROMs and MODs of any sort are a very rare thing on Mediatek powered devices.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lioubov33:
thanks a lot,

I guess my lesson will unfortunatly be never buy a Mediatek device, never again. I got a nexus 4 with OmniROM on it, and I thought something similar could eventually be possible on my TS. Anyone knows where can I transmit my disappointement to Mediatek and let them know that for this prevoius reason, I will never their product again?

I am a bit confused at this part. Maybe I am just not understanding his English very well.

PS. I just noticed that I cannot seem to turn my phone off. Holding down the power button turns off the screen for a moment then turns it back on.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
your phone is already in fastboot mode but you need to get the original files for your d801 which you can find here http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/D801BK/Stock_Firmware/10c_partitions and I guess you will have to trial and error just like he did until you recover download mode, once there you can just use lg flash tool and flash back to stock with the bin and dll from here http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/D801BK/Stock_Firmware

don't forget you need the fastboot flashtool from his previous thread which is linked there

Don't I need to address the issue of my computer not recognizing my phone is plugged in via USB first?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
Ok let's start out what exactly happens when you plug the phone to your pc while it's turned on in fastboot mode/if you leave the usb cable plugged in what happens when you hold down the power and it restarts and what does you pc say about ten phone
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReallyRick:
Right now my phone shows this:

fastboot mode started

udc_start()

When I plug my phone into my computer (I do hear the normal USB "notification" sound on my computer) and the screen shows this:

fastboot mode started

udc_start()

-reset-

-portcharge-

fastboot: processing commands

Leaving the phone plugged in I hold down the power button when phone goes dark I heard the other notification noise. Screen turns back on, I hear first notification noise and screen shows

fastboot mode started

udc_start()

-reset-

-portcharge-

fastboot: processing commands

Nothing ever pops up on my computer screen at all.

Only when I try using the LG Mobile Support Tool or UpTestEX does those applications say there is no connection to my phone.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
Okay then well download the fastboot flash tool and then see what happens
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReallyRick:
I was finally able to find a working link to the fastboot tool and have it downloaded and in a root folder like it says.

I went to the CMD prompt and entered:

fastboot erase laf

(it showed erasing laf ...OKAY)

Then I entered:

fastboot flash laf laf.img

(it showed sending laf...OKAY

writing laf...OKAY)

Now because I cannot remove my phone battery I followed the instructions and entered

fastboot reboot

My phone rebooted I held down the power button until the phone shut off and unplugged USB.

I then Held the Volume UP button and plugged back in my USB.

Takes me to the same fastboot screen I have been seeing all along.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
Reason I provided a link for all partitions of the d801 is because maybe a partition is missing/corrupted which might be necessary to boot properly even if it's just download mode but you have to be careful when doing so which is also why I said you might just have to trial and error until things get better looking for a positive side of course
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReallyRick:
DONT ASK ME HOW, but I was able to fix it. When I held VOLUME UP and plugged in the USB cord THIS TIME I was given the Firmware screen. I then flashed the stock version using the UPTestEX and my phone is working again!

It is a complete factory reset but ITS WORKING!

Thanks all! LOL
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
Well at least something good came from this good luck and be a little more careful with it from now on

HI all anyone can help me with my phone freezing every 5 mins and then i have to pull the battery or hold the power down to reset it. this started after i installed kitkat and i followed the installation to the letter T and my basband still has MJ4 in it as well and Software Version i am unsure if this has anything to do with it. I have taken steps from which i thought were the problem and have not been successful at all i have installed three different versions of kitkat and still get the same results as well as the Baseband and the Software version does not change even with me installing a kitkat boot loader and all kitkat components that are available at the moment. does anyone know where i can find kitkat modem/firmware i see the firmware but no modem.

I think it's great that [MENTION=2899810]rlmiller[/MENTION] provides instructions, but I kindly ask that you avoid linking to instructions that are tethered to one specific rom. These Q&A threads are from folks whom need tailored help, and I highly encourage providing that help.

Linking a user whose aim is to upgrade to TouchWiz KitKat to one specific rom draws the user towards one something in lieu of many possibilities.

I've written at least 3 such instructions in the last 2 nights, equally detailed, and specific to the user.

I'd think it better for all development if the question were answered or linked to same, unfettered by a specific rom.

if i use an otg usb before to remove i unmount it from the memory menu in settings and then unplug it an "unmounted usb" notification/alert shows up in the notification area but cant be removed and cant be swiped away, the notification state "please add usb memory storage" did you noticed? im on the last update. am i wrong?

by the way, if i unplug the usb key without unmounting an alert that the key has been unplugged without unmounting shows app, alerting to unmount it before unplug nex time, this notification can be removed and swiped away. its correct to unmount the usb key or its like in windows and i can unplug without caring about it with no problems?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drfr:
That´s exactly how it works for everybody after latest OTAs, which fixed (in a way) OTG USB storage, so don´t worry.

It´s a known bug also on Moto X.

I usually go "the dirty way" and unplug without unmounting (and then swiping away the notification) and nothing bad happened to me for last three weeks my ROM is patched. Not saying it´s without potential issues.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raniero1:
so the notification should stay there for ever until you wont plug again an usb? silly.

im not worried for the phone or for the data in the usb key but just for my usb memory i really care about it i dont want that get burned from the phone. i know that in windows there are two mode to access usb storage and the default mode let to unplug without mounting, the other let transfer datat faster but state "its more dangerous if the drive get disconnected without unmounting" i was guessing if theres any danger with android like in that case

anyway i will do like you i think without unmounting

by the way theres a way to remove the notification, if you long click on it shows an "app more information" menu, that open the adroidui.apk information, if you press terminate the notification goes away, actually also the wallpaper goes away and yo uhave to set it again
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drfr:
As far as I know unplugging without unmounting carries very little risk to data integrity (using common sense and not doing it while some data processing is going on) but I never heard of risk to the memory itself.

Initially, I had the following stacks:

I can't get Activesync to work, and I am not a fan of IVT anyway, so I shifted to Widcomm

Having similar problems, and having a past experience with Widcomm for my XDA, I installed Widcomm as well for my XDA

My main goal really is, not to get Activesync to work (but it would be great if I accomplish that), but to have an internet connection in my XDA through the connecting PC.

However, if i set Widcomm's Local Service: Network Access to "Allow other devices to access the Internet/Lan via this computer." I get the following error when I attempt to connect:

The Network Access connection failed: Can't connect when both sides are configured as NAP.

Is there any way not to configure my XDA as NAP?[/img]

A few days ago I created a game called Super Hero Fly. It's simple game which was modelled from Flappy Fly, but MADE FROM SCRATCH!

There you have to control Super Hero by tapping the screen. Once you tap the fly goes up, but if you stop doing this the Super Hero is going down. Try to get through gaps between the buildings. The further you go the more points you get.
