Little update:

I just tried reverting from twrp 2.7 to stock boot and recovery and I think I just bricked my device Can;t get passed the huawei ascend screen.

I wanted to reinstall the 118cn from stock recovery. is there anyway to fix this? Thank you!

UPDATE: Okay somehow after rebooting it around 20 times with fastboot, recovery and other combinations it is now booting I think. Praise the lords. It is now optimizing the apps :D

I have no idea what I did but I will post an update when it is done optimising

UPDATE UPDATE: Okay the weirdest thing just happened and I don't get this at all... I have wiped my whole phone like 5 times. with itsto and exsto. but somehow I now boots with all my apps, settings and launcher intact and inplace... I even installed multiple roms trying to make it work. WHAT IS THIS MAGIC?!

I know I shouldnt do this but I am going to re-install twrp 2.6.*.* and then pushing it to 2.7. Wish me luck! (following the excact instructions to make it work haha)

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: Okay, After seeing the wi-fi not turning on I tried rebooting my phone now it is stuck at the huawei ascend screen.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
Jelly Bean China stock roms can brick device (lots of users on xda got their device bricked). If you wanted to unlock, best to use KK China.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] TomTheTiger:
Will try! I thought I was passed this haha. When It starts i'll try to figure out a way to install it probs trough adb fastboot. since I can't get to the recovery screen with buttons

Update: Okay I managed to boot recovery up trough adb, It automatically started installing the update.app package.

I am now hoping for the best, one good thing... My phone was luckily already in unlock state :)

UPdate: Succesfully flashed my phone the stock :) with unlocked bootloader!

UPDate: And now on omni rom Everything is working fine!

Hi, hope someone can explain this mess to me. Not sure what has happened.

Anyway I went to the vold.fstab file to check if I have split partitions or what.

Anyway this is what file shows.

dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 23 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host

dev_mount sdcard2 /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host

How can I get this sdcard back to normal with it reading, just 1 internal storage & 1 external storage without losing data? Or am I asking for to much?

Thanx for any help!

BliTzer ^_^
[Hardware Hacking General] mgraham80823:
I would say transfer all the files USB DEBUG MT method to a folder and then format the SD card and place it all nicely back where you want it on your SD card. Make sure drivers are installed for your phone on your laptop. MTP is a Samsung mode but other phones are bound to have a similar media transfer mode. I hope I've helped you
[Hardware Hacking General] blitzer1:
Thanks for the reply. I sorta ended up doing that. I bought a new bigger 64sdmax and then copied files off the old SD card and copied to New. At least I have a formatted backup if I need it. Thanx again. :)

[General Questions and Answers] jvnanu:
My father-in-law's birthday is on Sunday and his family wanted to get him a new phone. He's had a Tab Pro 8.4 for a few months and he's become quite enthralled with it. For continuity's sake, they want to get him an S4 or S5. Both are $700 off contract. I'm wondering, is there a way to spend half that, get a Nexus 5, and somehow simulate all or most TouchWiz features through a custom ROM? Keep in mind, this gentleman likely won't be playing with any of the settings or features or more complex aspects of a custom ROM, simply looking for familiar UI. I'd be the one unlocking/rooting and flashing the custom ROM and he'd probably just go from there. Just something to keep in mind.

Any thoughts? The alternative is grabbing an S4 off eBay for about $550
[General Questions and Answers] pigstew:
Just get him a nexus tablet and phone and tell him to forget ever having a Samsung...
[General Questions and Answers] jvnanu:
Heh. Would be cheaper to get an N5 and N10 than an S5 eh? Unfortunately, that's not what I asked.
[General Questions and Answers] Kobro:
you can use the cm10/11 custom rom, and then use the touchwiz theme by thomassafca (search on play store)
[General Questions and Answers] Arch9:
better get him an S4
[General Questions and Answers] jvnanu:
Yeah. I actually found a way to get the S4 for $350 on a $150tab with a cheaper monthly plan through a different carrier than he's currently with.

Thanks guys!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] feelx77:
Kind of stumped and wanted to get others opinions on the matter or if compatibility issue etc.

I have an original all white 16gb T-Mobile non-LTE T999 Galaxy S3. Well after many bezel cracks and screen wear and menu button going out I decided to rebuild the phone and remodel different color. So I purchased everything in black and red.

I picked up a fully pre-assembled new Garnet Red Display/Digitizer assembly received it yesterday. I swapped the assembly and re-assembled phone. Turned on fine but would hang. Triple checked all contacts and assembly and still always turned on but hung.....eventually it always boots but the touch or digitizer isn't there. There's no touch screen response at all. Once I realized it just stalls, it actually always boots but takes longer and never has any touch screen response but looks normal.

I plugged th old screen on the main board in white and it works and boots fine. I go into CWM recovery and do key tests and all keys work and shows key test results when tapping the touch screen. Turn it off and plug back in new Red display and display looks great but no key test read outs in CWM when tapping the screen. All buttons give same key test readouts as white display.

So basically my new replacement display/digitizer assembly in red to replace my white has no touch ability or response and causes slow boot or boot hang. Other than that both displays look EXACTLY the same and have the same pre-etched factory numbers on back where battery would go "T999/I747"

So is it a display firmware issue you think or possible bad new display assembly I received? Product looked brand new with no scratches and still had factory sticker wrap on it like when I received my phone brand new. Looks great and would be nice if I could get it to work.

If there are no known compatibility issues than I will ask for an exchange from the seller. Looking for recommendations/opinions. I picked it up from this listing here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/271490581584?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tokenpoke:
Sounds like a faulty display causing issues with drivers.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] feelx77:
Also, just to clarify. Touch doesn't work in CWM Touch Recovery or give key test readouts for screen on Garnet Red display. Touch works fine and gives readouts on original White in CWM Touch Recovery.

So, once seller receives my messages Monday morning maybe lean on exchange if everyone thinks it should just work? Will wait and see weekend responses and feedback.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tokenpoke:
Yeah, its should be working without issue. I'm guessing there's a flaw in the digitizer causing interface issues.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] feelx77:
Sounds good so far than. Been driving me bonkers since last night. Plus time consuming to fully disassemble the phone and rebuild with breaking losing screws...lol. So ready to have it up and running but just goign to have to wait for an exchanged display than. Was all excited when I powered it on last night only for it to sit there forever before booting and not respond to touch. Smile turned to frown.

Was actually going to get the HTC One M8 but decided last minute to save the money and get more mileage out of this phone. Have really liked it and with CM11 and tweaks more than happy with it for another year or two. Just figured before I'd drop $600+, just fix & clean up my phone for now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] feelx77:
Received replacement display/digitizer today and it worked like a charm. No issues. So first one sent was a lemon, defective. Just wanted to update in case someone else has a similar issue. Thanks for those that gave opinions/help.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbobby:
Hi all,

This topic may be beaten to death but I'm not able to dig up much info pertaining specifically to HTC One units from Wind Mobile.

First thing I did to the phone was unlocking the boot loader through HTCDEV. I then updated to 4.4.2 via OTA. At this point I tried to gain S-OFF with firewater but was unsuccessful but I can live with that for now. The last thing I did was install a custom recovery (TWRP 2.6.3.3) so I can root my device. Essentially my phone is stock aside from TWRP and root.

I received the Sense6 OTA update and know I can't update with a custom recovery installed. From my understanding, a stock recovery is required to install the OTA update. What do I need to do to remove TWRP and revert back to a stock recovery? Again, my HTC One is from Wind Mobile so I'm not sure if I can use any stock recovery img or are they carrier and/or firmware specific?

TIA

Hi :) my name is jacob and I am a new on XDA and i have started a new thread because I have been all over the internet looking for a solution to this problem and none of them work. After i waved through all of the b******* i decided to come and see if any of you veterans can solve my problem.

i have been messing around with root and custom roms here recently maybe for a month and so far its great breathed new life into my old phone. Although I am having trouble with hacking my mobile phones hot spot (phone specifications and model listed below) i have tried everything wifi tether by TreVe, (hope I'm typing that right) changing tethering.dun in global settings database, (worked great until T-mobile eventually found me out) and everything else related to that. I am looking for a hack into my hot spot where T-mobile wont know s*** and it will work indefinitely. Reason why is I need internet for school and work purposes at home but, I live with my father and hes is on parole and can not have internet service at his home. I am a beginner but do have a little bit of sense in what I am doing if someone would kindly walk me through steps on how to completely unlock and hide my hot spot usage from T-mobile it would be greatly appreciated.

Also new thread for hacking native hot spot methods on any rooted android device.

My phone

Samsung Galaxy S2

carrier: T-mobile

model: SGH-T989 Hercules

no custom kernel (I understand I need some kind of net filter but can not find that online)

custom rom version: carbon 4.4.2 nightly

Thanks XDA community :good:
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
It won't be wireless, but PdaNet+ and USB tethering works just fine with a computer as long as you select the "hide tether usage" option. The program on the computer side also has a feature that turns your computer's wi-fi into a wi-fi router, which'll allow you to connect other devices.
[General Questions and Answers] jacobis16:
yes i have tried PDAnet and that does not work for my needs as i also play the occasional online game with my PS4 I forgot to mention that sorry. I have tried to send out a wifi signal from my computer through CMD on my computer and none of my devices pick it up even though CMD says the signal is going out also done this with ADhoc networks with a LAN cable but did not work either. Thanks for the suggestion :good: I probably should have went into more detail with my post but I did not want to make it to terribly long sorry.
[General Questions and Answers] jacobis16:
May it possibly hide my online gaming if I figure out a way to get reverse WiFi on my computer working will it still hide that or will it be detectable. I see my self as a somewhat computer buff but I put myself to shame when i cant get a reverse WiFi connection going from my computer. seems like a lot of trouble to go to for internet i wish there was a way to unlock native tethering and not jump through hoops. It would seem that it would be a simple fix and should also be free anyway since it is dealt with the phone's hardware not through the carrier american cell network providers are greedy that is like getting xfinity internet but before you can send internet to your devices you have to pay thirty dollars extra.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
When you USB tether your phone to your computer with PdaNet+, all you have to do is select the "WiFi Share" option and set it up like any other hotspot (network name, password, etc). Couldn't be easier. I don't know how well this'll work for playing PS4 (or whatever) games, but I can use this setup to watch Netflix or youtube on my well enough.

There are ways to use the native hotspot on an Android phone, but all the "hacks" are done on the computer side. VPNs, browser masking, etc.
[General Questions and Answers] jacobis16:
i will try this method browser masking right now unfortunately don't have the money to buy a VPN maybe one of the ad supported free versions will suffice will report back tomorrow.
[General Questions and Answers] jacobis16:
Method not working i still get the T-mobile up sell page through VPN's of all kind it masks the internet going through the computer but not the phone where the service originates. They still detect everything I am doing. I understand T-mobile has bots going through their lines that detects devices that are not mobile devices and shuts them down. If maybe there is a way to block T-mo completely from a mobile device and just sounds ridiculous but I know someone out there can find a way I have heard of peoples mobile data usage and their mobile hot spot gauge has not moved only mobile data was detected. I am not sure if this was false statements and was made up.

Hi there,

But in addition to this, I was wondering how on earth I set the bluetooth name of my device?!?!? I can't find anywhere to do this, and it shows up as either ???, <no name> or similar depending on what I'm searching for it with.

Any help would be very gratefully received.

Hi, I also have V1605, bluetooth id can be changed by doing the following

Goto:

"Start"

"Settings"

"About"

"Device ID"

"Device Name"

Just put whatever you want to call your device in "Device Name"

Don't bother with the "Description" field!

This then shows up perfectly in my Parrot CK3100, or any other bluetooth device I connect to.

First of all, that's my very first post, big newbie here. :D

Yesterday I've done the worst mistake, I updated my Xperia ZQ (Brazil) to 4.4. EXTREME keyboard lag, weird bugs, slow notification drawer, screen lag, etc, etc. R.I.P. great phone.

How can I rollback do 4.3?

I've searched about and got really confused. They say I need to flash the 4.3, but to flash I need unlocked bootloader, but to preserve the DRM keys I need to root, but to root I need to unlock the bootloader.

I'm really confused. :confused::confused:

My phone currect Build Number is 10.5.A.0.230, NOT rooted, NOT unlocked bootloader.

If someone can explain to me, I will apreciate a lot. If its too much trouble, dont bother gathering links, just give me the some directions, I'm quite lost.

Sorry about the bad english :)

you don't have to unlock bootloader to flash stock firmware. search for the required FTF and flash it

nope
[Sony Xperia ZL] enrique71:
If you don't care about root, then just download flashtool and the 10.4.1.B.0.101 FTF then flash. This will take you back to 4.3 and your lag, weird bugs, and crappy performance will be resolved. :laugh:

Hi,

I going back and forth between the Tab Pro 10.1 or the Ipad Air 16gb... on one side I like the feeling and look of ios.. my phone currently is a Galaxy S4 and run great but it's not jaw dropping in term of menus or look. My mom have an ipad Air and looks and feel great... the only thing that is keeping me away from it is the lack of memory expansion... my budget is around the 16gb model and is not enough... with the tab pro I plan on buying a 64fb memory and copy movies and videos from my computer to the tablet... few questions regarding this tablet: does the galaxy pro read divx coded? .mkv?, .avi, etc? I know on the ipad you would have to convert movies to mp4 in order to play it.... another questions is about the performance... is the performance on browsing, apps, youtube, etc... similar to the galaxy S4 or better? is the tab pro a good option to replace the use of a laptop (I'm talking about basic stuff like email, browsing, watch movies, music, etc)?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] 05GT:
The tab pros are very smooth. There are multiple free apps that will play any movie format you desire. That 16GB I pad will fill up quickly. I know from experience. Can't beat the microsd expansion for movies and music.

Also you don't have to covert your movies for ipad. You can use Azul, VLC, or other apps to play any format as well.
