[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android.Ninja:
No problem. lol. :)

Ok, so lets see. Originally you installed the Chinese firmware and now needing to get back to XAR = Cellular South, correct? Ok if so, it shouldn't be a big problem. I'll see if I can help you. First of all, don't worry. If you have a "Good Download" of the firmware and also Odin, this can be fixed, so don't worry. it's almost impossible to actually "Brick" the device.

If you have to repeat anything, don't worry just do it again so you can make sure that there is no questionable doubt that it's been done, or you have a good copy etc.

1. Go ahead and create a folder on your desktop and name it "P900 Old Firmware". Put any and all firmwares that you've downloaded in the folder. Lets not use those and just assume that theres a possibility of a bad download or something.

2. Now, go ahead and download a fresh copy of the XAR = Cellular South firmware. Just create another folder on your desktop and label it "P900 Working Firmware." Save the firmware to this folder.

3. Once downloaded, boot you device in recovery and wipe everything. If on the factory recovery, just choose the proper selection to delete, reset, erase everything etc. If on TWRP, choose wipe everything using the advanced options. ** You need to make make sure that when you boot into TWRP, go to the "Settings" button and put a "X" on "USE RM -rf instead of formatting." This is ABSOLUTELY Necessary for it to properly erase everything. Then choose to wipe everything. **

4. After everything is wiped. Boot the device into "Download Mode."

5. Make sure the device is connected good.

6. Now try installing the firmware again. Make absolutely sure that you do NOT touch anything else like repartition etc.

7. Let me know exacty what happens. Any types of messages, errors, etc.

Any luck?

Hi Android Ninja.

Have you had any luck with what I might be able to do to fix things? I've talked ad nauseum to different Samsung people to no avail. One woman somewhere up their chain wanted me to send the tablet to them and told me that it would take "4 to 6 weeks to fix". Meanwhile, my wife has figured out that I messed up the tablet. :)

Thanks again for all your help.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Nicky:
Hi, I've been following your thread with interest and one thing that I've not been able to work-out is what lead you are using. There have been various reports of people unable to correctly flash their tablets with the USB3 lead and when they tried again with a standard USB2 lead it worked.

Just a thought!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jopop:
USB 2 lead or USB 3 lead?

Interesting. I will have to try it. I've tried a number of the USB cables for the Note 3, but I've used them in a USB 2.0 port as some had suggested. I have not tried using a regular USB 2 cord with the USB 2 port.

Thanks for the suggestion, I hope it works.

No luck with USB 2 cable and a USB 2 port

Hi Dr Nicky.

I tried your suggestion about trying a USB 2 cable, but I had the same results. It wouldn't let me flash any of the copies of the XAR firmware that I downloaded (many) but I was then able to successfully flash as before, both the Chinese and New Zealand firmwares. This is maddening to say the least.

Thanks for your suggestion. Please feel free to send along any others.

There is unlocking bootloader, rooting, SuperCID, flashing CWM recovering and installing a customROM (ViperOne) on my new device, M8.

I'm completely capable of understanding and following the guides, but I'm just not sure the order I should be following to achieve all those.

Could you please guide me with the correct order?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] billard412:
Root using weaksauce first. Then use firewater to get s-off and unlock the bootloader. Then flash any of the recoveries in development (I like philz) using fastboot. Then boot to recovery, do a backup and flash your rom of choice. I don't see a need to use supercid unless your rom requires it.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
First of all, it's not bricked, bricked is when it's nothing more than a paper weight, if you can get into recovery and bootloaader then it's far from a brick.

Do you know how to use adb and fastboot, if so..........

Download a Rom of your choice for your device

Place the Rom in the same folder as adb and fastboot on your computer

Put your phone into recovery, and plug into your computer

Open a command window on your computer in the adb folder and type:

Adb push (Rom name).zip /sdcard/

Wait........

Wait some more.......

Make a cup of tea.......

Take ages, wait until it's finished

Unplug your phone from your computer when it's finished

Now on your phone in recovery select instal, you should see the Rom you just pushed in the list, follow the instructions.

In future don't advanced wipe in twrp

Good Rom, I'm using it now.

I checked your output with the Rom your downloaded before, and although the carrier matches, defined by the 707, it a much earlier Rom to what you have on your phone now and an older radio, this maybe why you experienced problems flashing it.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Oki:
I am trying to extend the bepe's kitchen in order to include support for Mio A701 and Mio A700 (Scoter platform). Some of you are already aware of it.

Our DOC architecture is quite simple:

- DOC's static RAM: G3/G4 Initial Program Loader

- DOC BDK0 Binary partition that keeps the Bootloader

- DOC BDK1 Binary partition that keeps the Microsoft Initial Program Loader (also called SPL over these forums, isn't it)

- DOC BDTL0 TrueFFS partition that keeps the WM5. This partition is exactly 50MB (0x3200000 bytes). It is a MSFLSH50 image containing a 0x400 bytes header followed by 4 subpartitions.

- DOC BDTL1 TrueFFS partition that keeps the user data in a FAT32 filesystem.

BDTL0 has 4 subpartitions:

- Part00 Starts at offset 0x400 inside the MSFLSH50 image. Unknown format, it has 'SRPX' signature at offset 0x40.

- Part01 Unknown format, it has 'SRPX' signature at offset 0x40.

- Part02 IMGFS segment.

- Part03 segment with an empty FAT16 filesystem used for padding the size of 50MB required for the BDTL0_MSFLSH50 partition.

I can extract everything but those files stored in Part00 and Part01. IMGFS can be easily extracted and built with the IMGFS_tools by Mamaich.

In HTC devices the kernel and critical drivers are stored in 2 XIP chains, but these files do not seem to be XIP chains since they are compressed or encrypted. Thew SRPX signature is not very common, Buzz Lightyear talked about it

here

:

After that no one else has talked about this kind of segments or SRPX signature.

If you want to take a look at the unknown segments/subpartitions of the MSFLSH50 WM5 image then you can download a dump of Part00 and Part01 from

here

.

I need to extract and insert files into this segments, can you help me with any related information about it please?

Thanks a lot,

Oki
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] buzz_lightyear:
Hi Oki,

where did yo dig that post about SRPX out, please :o)))

Anyway, i still have no info about that, but i'm wondering, what would you like to put inside...

:o))) it actually is SPL

buzz
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Oki:
It is nice receiving a quick answer here. I have already posted this in your site. :oops:

It seems that Microsoft calls the SPL as MS IPL. It does not matter, in the MiTAC world bootloader is known as UBoot and has a nice menu for selecting the part that you want to flash so we only need to create a customized MSFLSH50 image and that's all, the OS is upgraded.

I want to create a customized image for my device so I need to apply the certmod.dll patch described by mamaich. Any other solution?

The kernel file, some critical DLLs and boot.rgu among other important files are in those two segments, so in order to create a customized OS I will need to access these files and replace them.

Let me ask you where did you found the SRPX signature? Is there any other device with this image format?

Thanks,

Oki
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] buzz_lightyear:
:o)))) maybe because i was on this site, when i've got notification...

But i first answered at buzzdev.net :o))))) LOL

"Hi Oki,

so SRPX... :o)) i saw that very long time ago in some Himalaya WM5 ROM. i really can't remember, where exactly.

all i know is, that XPRS is a kind of compression, so i thought that time, that XPRS is actually SRPX other way around.

Then, as other things poped up, i somehow forgot about that totally :o))

For Oki: SRPX signature found on ATOM LIFE

Hello Oki,

The XDA Atom Life has MSFLASH50 format as well as SRPX signature for the kernel part. I was wondering what is the start of the segment for the MSFLASH50...? I couldn't seem to get msflshtool.exe to work with this ROM. It keeps on saying not a MSFLASH50 format.

BTW, your Scoter Kitchen tools worked on XDA ATOM, we are trying to port the files from XDA ATOM LIFE into our ROM... Fortunately you have covered this format so we can extract its contents...

request for other srpx-tool

Hello, and sorry for digging in this old thread. :)

I have a XDA Comet aka Atom Life and the XIP is SRPX compressed like Jiggs described.

I'm trying to update the Kernel.

I use the SRPX tools from Scoter kitchen. With MSFLSHTOOL i get 2 XIP and 1 imgfs part.

I use SRPX2XIP for the second part and the XIP is 1728 KB.

If I change back with XIP2SRPX the new part is only 1442 KB.

So I write back this part to my ROM image and the image doesn't boot.

Is this an error from SPRX tools or did I miss something ?

I can't find an other tool for that job. Google gives only a hint to "sushi-repeat-containing protein" but i guess that's not the information i realy need.:D

May be someone can enlighten me. :o

Did you do a hex comparison between old and new XIP? you could try dumping and rebuilding first without modifications, and see the difference. vivi was able to sort this thing with his asus p525.

Thank you for the hint.

After comparing the Comet-, the Atom Life- and the rebuilded file, I'll try to hexedit the beginning and fill the end of the rebuilded file to match the right filesize.

Will report later.

after simply cosmetical changes with a hexeditor the files are identical.:)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] blazie151:
I see that all the builds for this phone through CyanogenMod 11 have been merged, and require a custom built version per phone. I get that, and can follow instructions, I've used Linux before.... My question is I don't know how to merge all the different data I'm reading into what exactly I need to do for this phone. The issue is it's a bad ESN phone running stock Sprint 4.4.2, originally with NAE baseband which I downgraded to MDC in order to do a domestic unlock. Now it's working fine with HSPA+ and I don't want to break functionality (reading issues with calling in/out, etc). So, what do I need to do in order to get CyanogenMod 11 to run on this unlocked Sprint phone on AT&T, with MDC modem and NAE bootloader?

The following is the post I was referring to that confused me. It's about phone issues with non-stock roms on sprint unlocked phones.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2539794

Well, it looks like the 100% sure way to get this working is to do the outlined steps in the post linked above to the nightly builds of CM11, which I will link below (notice the spr/att designation at the end of the link)...

http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jflteatt

Other way looks to grab a jflteatt labeled rom from the Sprint Android dev subforum, but it looks more hit or miss. I might be way off and overthinking this, but I'm gonna try the mix/match way.

Hello guys

So, here's the deal. Few months back, I messed up my One and got it stuck at the grey HTC Screen. Couldnt boot into system, because I guess there was no ROM on the device. Thanks to you guys here at XDA, I got the situation analyzed and took the device to an HTC Service Center who told me to get my motherboard replaced. That was way too costly, so I got it JTAGed. The device now boots into ROM, but it cant boot into the bootloader. So I cant unlock the bootloader, S-OFF, Root or anything.

I can only boot into ROM. Can anyone please explain why this is so and what can I do to get my bootloader and recovery back.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Jessica.alba:
Are you satisfied with your phone's battery backup??? If not,follow tje tutorial,you will surely have a better battery life.

Calibration needs to be done after flashing a new ROM,

but you can calibrate any time you think your battery is

miscalibrated. This program does it by removing the

batterystats.bin system file. The OS generates a new

clean batterystats file soon, thus any fake information

from the previous ROM is removed.

It's suggested, but not necessary, to let the phone fully

discharge after calibration, then charged to 100%

without break.

The app shows your actual battery status, and only allows

you to start the calibration (i.e. removes the file) when

it's fully charged, unless you force earlier calibration.

The voltage meter can be useful too. Full charge is around

4200mV.

There is an option to beep when 100% is reached so you

don't have to closley follow the changes.

It just means there was a 7% discrepancy between the old bin and the new bin. This doesn't improve your battery life, it just reports it more accurately if you let the phone run down to 0% and then do a full charge.
