Hello xba-developers!

>Device HTC One X

>Quad Core 1.5 Ghz processor

>16 GB memory

>Everything is stock, no rooting nothing.

I've been checking this forum for quite a while but just found the need to register obviously because of a problem which I cannot find solution to.

I've checked couple of forum posts like THIS and some others and they KINDA have solution but it's really vague for me and I'll explain why; the reason is that I'm a complete newbie to all this, I've never rooted a device don't even know what that means and all these custom ROMs and everything really confuse me. Plus, my computer can't pick up my phone and generally I don't quite know if the cause of my problem is the same as other posts (Even though the problem is same) which means the solution may be different.

PROBLEM

It was raining, I was outside, some moron bumped into me in the street and phone slipped out of my hand, fell into a pool of water. I took it out as soon as I could but it was all wet. I tried to turn off the device but it kept restarting it wouldn't power down! (When I pressed power off it would do just regular restart) then suddenly it started working but the thing is, BEFORE all of this battery was in 14%, after it magically started working battery was on 80% which means it must have shortened somewhere (Problem with battery). Then all of a sudden it started doing these weird things like turning on music all of a sudden, turning on screen, shutting down, restarting and so on... (The speakers pretty much weren't working but still there was music somewhere). Then it went into a boot loop, I tried to do recovery but it kept restarting even when I was pressing POWER + Volume down buttons.

Then what I feared the most, battery died. Whenever I connect to power source (no matter Computer or Wall charger) it automatically goes into boot loop, the device won't stop working at all it won't shut down nothing. Battery is out of charge and I can't charge the phone enough to do Factory Reset. I took it to Service center but they are having "holidays" because 8th march is women's day and then it's sunday...

I really hate the fact that the battery is sealed inside the phone! It becomes real headache in this situations I could just take the battery out and tried it out but NOPE, can't do that!

Plus it's my first android and it uses this mini sim card thing (which they happily shortened in the store) and I don't really have any other Android phones to use my card on since it's too small for older devices...

So, the question:

How do I charge my phone when it goes into boot loop every time I plug it in?

My PC can't recognize it (it makes the sound when you connect Flash device through USB and then in 0.5 sec makes the one when you disconnect that same device).

I just need my phone to work properly. Or at least start up!

Thanks to everyone who read this huge post and I'm really sorry if I missed one or another forum thread that describes my problem exactly (which is unlikely but still).

Thanks again, have a good day!

I would like to start a project to make a better camera app.

In other posts there are people talking about the bad quality of the chip or the lens.

I think they are right about that, but I think the program itself could be better.

I think there is a lot of compression made in the program.

Now I'm not a programmer so that is my problem.

What I am interested about is to get a picture right from the chip. Without any compression and without any contrast, sharpness and brightness adjustment. Then we really know how bad the chip and lens are. After that we can try to adjust some things and look at compression.

Is there anybody crazy enough to create anything like this?

If it works we might be able to get real photos out of our Wizard

Feel free to react or correct me if I'm wrong
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rain:
Hm, IMHO the lens are also not the best quality (not to forget the devices are made in Taiwan) and the price has to be under certain limits.

Also it's only a 1.3 Mpx camera. Second i don't think you can take out compression from bitmap at daylight ...

After that I will root it will work in Israel.?

There are better and cheaper store that I can buy in London??

Thank you! I really do not know what to do need help.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mulletmeister:
This is listed in Memphis, USA. Which London are you refering to because there is a London in TN apparrently. Also you need to think of shipping (quoted as 3-5 days). If you mean London UK, you would probably be stung for import duty, and be waiting a few days.

I'm not really sure what you are asking with regards to blocking etc. Try searching on here for note 3 israel and you should find out about the little differences.

I have the Note 2 SCH-I605 running 4.3 and am having a hard time rooting the phone. I have read many post here, some say you cant root once you do the OTA to 4.3. And others say you can with different methods but none have seemed to work. I have turned my phone off then held the home button, power button and the volume down button together and that works. Then I press the volume up and that works. But when I connect the phone to the computer and open Odin3 v1.85 it opens and closes before I can do anything or even read anything. Anyone else having this problem or know of the best way to root my phone?

Thanks for any help

Keep in mind that this does not unlock the bootloader though, it only give root access.... so you won't be able to install a custom recovery like TWRP/CWM...and won't be able to install custom Rom's.

Thanks to k1mu for posting the root method and h311sdr0id for pointing it out for the Note 2.

Good luck.

Will rooting make my phone more secure or less?

I have the Galaxy Note 2 I-605 from Verizon and there is plenty of apps running that i want to kill and remove from start-up and reloading. For instance i wouldn't mind using the Face book app but only when i turn it on... i do not want it running in the background all day.

?-1.) If i root the phone can i alter the base permissions for any given app. Lets say i have an app i like that happens to listen in on my calls... assuming the app could run without this is there a way to adjust the entitlements / privileges for off the shelf apps?

?-2.) Is there a risk when rooting the phone? Is a rooted phone easier for an app or other to gain access and steal my personal information?

?-3.) If it mess up and brick it are there soft bricks that you can recover from.

?-4.) I was looking at the Samsung Note 2 Tool Kit ... is it recommended or is the best method for rooting the phone?

?-5.) Can i load the Note 3 ROM on my Note 2?

I am eager to root, I prefer to be the admin for my devices. But i want to better understand the authority i might gain over existing apps or the holes i might open that makes my data more vulnerable? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Steve

@ stevek4u

This post here ( http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5...ustom-roms-t2640184/post50137373#post50137373 ) is for a different device, but it seems relevant to some of your questions about security concerns... (ignore comment #6 about flashify since it's not relevant for the Note 2).

With root access, there are lots of apps out there that let you change permissions.... You'll just need to do some research and test out the app after you change permissions to make sure the app still functions properly afterwards. You could back up the app and app data first, then restore it later if you find that changing permissions breaks the app.

The rooting method you use will depend on what firmware version you're on... use Casual for 4.1.2 and saferoot for 4.3 VRUEMJ9. If your on the newest 4.3 VRUAND3 build, you would need to revert back to VRUEMJ9 before using saferoot.

Droidstyle has put together some helpful guides to help recover from soft bricks and to restore your phone stock firmware. You can find those guides in the Verizon Note 2 threads.

Also, there are custom touchwiz ROM's based off of Note 3 that you can find in the development threads, so you can enjoy Note 3 features on your Note 2.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] muntaha_v3:
Hey, I just followed the following steps and have working Bravia engine (Me thinks :)) with root on a .136 C6833.

Backup TA.

unlock bootloader

1) full flash .136 ftf using flashtool. let the phone boot up and do all the initial setup.

2) Flash jackie's kernel.

3) flash update_SU 1.93.zip

4) using flashtool, flash kernel only (.136)

5) restore TA and relock bootloader

voila rooted .136 with a locked BL and working Bravia Engine :)

Credits to jackie099 for his kernel and DevShaft for BackupTA utility.

I didnt do any research so no credits to me :angel:

i just tried something on my phone and it worked so am posting it!!

Mods if am offending someone or violating any rules, pls notify and delete the thread!:rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
If one hasn't already ready backed up their TA then root is required for the 1st step. ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Feodorus 4PDA:
If you spread any instructions, then I ask to give references to other sources.

For example jackie's kernel. Where I shall look for it?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
using flashtool, flash kernel only (.136)

NO !

If you gonna flash just a kernel your Update center will pop up notification about new system .136 system update.

So to remove that you have a choice.

-You need to remove Update center.apk.

or

You need to flash like this (everything besides "system" and "wipe app data")
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
This is XDA, if you cant search...

Where he says to flash just the kernel you already have a full .136 so i doubt updatecentre will care.

To OP congrats on finding this out (although it is semi common knowledge that it will work like that)

Just one thing, if you unlock the BL again it will cause another data format, but you can make a backup of the TA in its unlocked bootloader state and use that to unlock and thus not format data. Just make sure you have them well named.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
Quick question..

To get root: I ota to 136, unlock bl, flash Jackie ric kill kernel/recovery, flash su. I wouldn't mind trying this but how is "partial root" problem avoided when using the stock non ric kill kernel that is required to relock bl?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DorianNakamo:
[MENTION=616991]muntaha_v3[/MENTION] or [MENTION=3534362]blueether[/MENTION] ~ same question as buzman; don't you need non standard kernel to keep full root (system rw).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
True, but many people only need read access to /system. May be that is the case here?

And you could always flash a unlocked backup and hot-boot a modded kernel for the odd occasion that you need full root?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DorianNakamo:
Or, as I thought just after posting, a "system r/w access" start up script prior to stock kernel flash and you could also keep full root after stock kernel flash.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] muntaha_v3:
Sorry guys, was busy with some official Training programs so didnt have time to come online.

1) Yes you have only read access to system.

2) Restoring TA doesn't cause full wipe.

3) this i tried for some of those friends of mine who own Xperia Z1 and Z but dont exploit their full potential because they are scared they'll lose warranty. Convinced one of them, the others are still in line though. Shame on them :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DorianNakamo:
Not meaning to get pedantic, maybe the thread should be renamed to "unlock bl, su, relock bl" as root implies rw access to root lol (unless rw script for system is run during boot)

Hello all,

I have bought qtek S200 recently and i have spent a lot of man hours trying to get this thing to sync with my desktop computer. it works fine with my laptop however doesn't want to sync with my desktop.

I get an new hardware wizard when i plug my pda into the USB requests for me to point to the drivers because windows was unable to find drivers.. I have gone through troubleshooting steps where disabling firewall / ant virus. Uninstalling active sync reinstalling / downgrading active sync and upgrading no luck. doesn’t matter if i try 3.8 or 4.2 it doesn't want to recognize my device and asks for the drivers.

i have windows xp with service pack 2 installed. so at this point i am wondering if someone has the driver files for it ? or what should be next step, any help would be appreciated.

This is an international version and factory unlocked.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaviUnic:
Factory reset and try again.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanitoriv:
Even though its unlocked, it may still be waiting for carrier applied updates. I would suggest going the Developer Preview route. I did this on my T-Mo locked 8X, that I'm using on MetroPCS, and I have 8.0.10521.155. It's worth a shot, I wouldn't have GDR3 otherwise. And its free.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compu829:
For some reason, you are stuck on the original Windows Phone 8 release. Therefore the "Developer preview" won't work on this device as it requires GDR2 to be installed.

More details will be necessary to help...What carrier was it originally locked to? (if any) Is this a developer phone or a regular retail model?

try the following:

1. shut the phone off.

2. While holding down the volume up and volume down buttons, press "power"

3. A boot screen will come up. You should see something like CID:TMO__01 on the screen. Post what it is here.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
That's because Nexus line of devices come with pure vanilla android!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArtieQ:
You do realise what Vanilla means right?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
As stated its because we have pure "vanilla" android. It's a bit boring to some but its exciting for those that want speed and love to hack/modify.

Think of it this way. The Nexus 5 is like a Lamborghini (uncomfortable to drive, but very fast), phones like the G2 are like a Mercedes still pretty fast (not as fast as the Lambo) but its more luxurious and packed with features.

The main feature exclusive to the Nexus 5 is timely updates straight from Google.

sent from my neXus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Yeah http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanilla_software

Anyway the reason is of course that the software is built from aosp with Google addons, while this is also the case for any other device, except those have their respective customisations on top of aosp and Google addons.

So nexus 5 has plenty of special features, they are just not exclusive, as Google is about software and makes money from all android devices, and allows all OEMS to use these features, while the OEMS want to keep their features exclusive in order to attract customers to their devices.

So every time Google adds new features, its also rolled out to all other android devices.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipTD:
Welcome to the forum!

The features you mentioned are really easy to add if you are rooted. BEFORE you root, however, I strongly suggest that you read everything you can about the phone to become familiar with its native functionality (e.g., the sticky threads at the top of this forum) as well as the N5 Apps and Themes forum to get an idea of how you can mod (Browsing the Play Store and trying out apps is also a lot of fun). ONLY after you have read thoroughly everything mentioned above, you can decide if you'd like to root (which I recommend, because many great apps and mods require root) and, perhaps, try flashing some custom roms and kernels.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
I'm familiar with Google play and have installed many apps from there, but I've not owned another Android phone. So I don't know what capabilities other high end phones have that are missing on the N5.

What are some of the better customizations some high end phones have that I could add to the N5 using which apps? I am rooted but would prefer to remain with stock rom 4.4.2 rather than flash a new rom.

Thanks.

Actually, we're still slightly modified from vanilla aosp. We have Google dialer lookup and photosphere.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjoostema:
Since you are rooted, I would suggest perhaps looking into xposed framework and the gravity box module, since it's essentially made for phones this close to stock android. You can enable a ton of useful features from there, all on the stock ROM. There are also kernels you can flash to attain certain features, such as the knock on screen to activate thingy that comes with the LG G2. There aren't really a tone of features that other phones have that the N5 doesn't, The base functions are essentially the same, they just present a ton of different ways to go about it. With gravity box, for example, you can make it so when you tap on the status bar the phone goes to sleep. You can really do anything you want as far as customization, but all smartphones essentially do the same thing ie:internet, phone calls, camera, bt, music etc. Since you went ahead and rooted, research custom recoveries and start going to town exploring options. There are a ton for a phone such as this, it's just a matter of sifting through all the option until you find exactly what you want. You can google the highlights that other OEMs provide and find a close-as-possible match for that feature, whether it be a module, rom or kernel. There are A TON of options, so don't get overwhelmed and have fun brother! Modding a Nexus is, in my opinion, more about the journey of exploring the possibilities rather than searching for the perfect set up. Welcome to the best phone out right now and if there is anything I can help you with, please feel free to PM me.
