[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
Well, I was creating a custom ROM with the IPL and SPL files from the T-Mobile 2.26, The Faria / Shogun UWC ROM, the molski Splash screens and the Cingular 2.25 GSM to make a "complete" ROM to see if it would resolve my GSM issues. Computer completely locked up at 4%... After waiting 30 minutes with no progress I figured that it was bricked as the phone now only has the IPL and SPL info on the screen with no GSM or OS being reported. Forced device into bootloader and attempted to reflash but got communication errors with everything. Then for grins (I wasn't grinning!!!) I ran the 1.05 installer which didn't find the phone either ... but then it just went through anyway! The happy Button Beer Splash screen appeared and I had all the 1.x's! Successfully then upgraded back up to the 2.26 and all is well.

I think that someone was smiling down at me!!!

Just wanted to share as maybe this just might help someone.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
Every time I've seen the IPL/SPL not change from the button 1.05 it's because someone didn't unlock the CID.

Is that fast enough?

LOL....yeah, I've got a pretty long line here myself. BTW, it is me or has the number of people trashing their phones started to get ridiculous? I mean, on one hand it sucks to be them for not knowing anything about what they're doing but on the other hand, it's just a matter of time before someone ruins their phone and looks into legal recourse because that seems to be all the rage these days.

I agree that there seem to be more and more people now that don't have the patience to wade through the numerous threads and posts here regarding the possible pitfalls regarding upgrading a ROM. Most often that "don't do this if you're not aware of the possible bricking, etc" message is on the very first page goes unread. Of course no one reads those.... I mean, who reads a EULA (End User License Agreement) ???

I'm actually having a great day when I don't respond to a post regarding a question I already answered on the same page... but we've all been there!

And I pity the fool that tries to sue me!

Ah, I'm just ranting as I live for the abuse.... :)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] markgamber:
Cool, I was just curious. I've worked for a couple of people who had way more money than brains and I could easily see them showing up, not wanting to be bothered with instructions, ruining their phone and immediately calling a lawyer to have the site shut down and all those behind it burned at the stake. But they could spell, so that had that going for them. Which is nice.

Personally, I liked a message somewhere on here from some clown who goes on a rant about how "windoze" sucks (and used all the rest of those trite old sayings that were kind of cute 15 years ago when someone still cared about OS/2), then talks about how he was too high to be bothered with paying attention to what he was doing, trashed his phone so someone help right f-ing now. That's class right there. Makes me wonder how some people find a door to get out of the house in the morning. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
OS/2 ... and I see that you're also a "senior member"... my we're showing our age :)

Actually I kinda liked CP/M but I'm so freak'n old I forget how old I really am ...

(but at least my spelling hasn't suffered...yet!!!)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] markgamber:
Ha! Well...yeah, on one hand I still have a copy of OS/2 around here somewhere. On the other hand it wasn't too many years ago when I finally quit my position as the vocalist of a hardcore punk band, so it's all relative. :D

I make a pretty good living at this development thing and yet when I went to Tmo and got an MDA, there was still a little sticker shock. When I brought it home and thought about updating the radio ROM because the original was terrible, I read about updating for several days before I actually tried it myself. Read about how to recover from a bad flash, read about all the potential problems and how to avoid them. Read and read and read some more and when I thought I had it all down pat, I read it all one more time, just to be sure. And even then, I was sweating bullets when I did the actual update. This wasn't my first PDA phone and I had flashing experience from previous phones, the latest being a blue angel. Now that Tmo has released their 2.26 rom which works very well (for me, anyway), I absolutely refuse to flash anything else anymore because why risk it? To look cool? I don't think so.

Given that, it just boggles my mind how someone could drop that kind of money on a phone, bring it home, slap it onto a usb port and with no experience and not bothering to really read anything, attempt to flash anything and expect (expect!) to be successful. There was that goof I mentioned above and, even better, was that guy who decided the rom image in the ftp folder named "TEST_ROM_DO_NOT_FLASH" (or something like that, I forget offhand) was a good choice who then got downright indignant when people made fun of him for being such an idiot. I just don't get it. I have a 15 year old who thinks more clearly than that....and he can flash his phone. And has. Many times. :) And that's why I lost patience after a while.

[One (M8) General] TiberiumFusion:
Yeah, long pressing a flash content area will make Firefox attempt to select it as text, though there doesn't seem to be any way around that right now within Firefox. There are a couple apps out there that allow you to emulate desktop mice clicks, so maybe you could use on of the those.

Hope that helps!

Hi,

I have a new Problem.

My english is not the best so id dont give why I have this situation. I give you the situation itself.

- My HTC One X is totally formated. Just firmware and a recovery.

- My Computer is a fresh windows 7 installation

I cant get any ROM to my device because the computer dont install it. I installed latest sdk and HTC Drivers.

But the computer still doesnt install the phone as a HTC One X... just as unknown device, fastboot usb and Myhtc....

problem is sideload dont work because it says "no device found"

but i cant install the phone... because there is no Android on it....

drivers are there but windows dont install the device in a correct way to use sideload (adb) ...

Any ideas?

Please help.. I need my phone^^

Have you tried to use an RUU from the bootloader?
[HTC One X] POIZ87:
No. Can you recommend one. I want to flash ARHD.
[HTC One X] audahadi:
Assume you already unlock bootloader.

I don't know much about windows, but it seem like driver issue. Try re-installing driver (avoid using from HTC sync manager).

If still didn't help.. You can live booting Ubuntu and go from there.

Flash custom recovery and desired rom.

Edit : also most recovery can mount sdcard, copy ARHD rom to sdcard. That should work.
[HTC One X] POIZ87:
Thanks a lot man, that actually helped and work. with this i dont need sideload anymore^^ wuhu

The cables arent cheap ones and the mini USB is the one that came with the camera. When I click the app on my Tab 3 it just says Android device not compatible with Android USB host API.

Im not tech savvy so dont know what this means. It also says a firmware update may fix the issue but I appear to be fully updated.

Thanks. I got 'SQLite Editor' and it worked.

After reboot, I was able to view MobileData in the toggles.

First time when you click the toggle, it brings up the setting page to enable Mobile data.

After that, it behaved as normal toggle.

I had tried below apps - But did not work.

sqlite Database Editor - This never completed loading Application database. Hence did not work

SQLite Debugger - I was able to modify settings.db. When I run the query again after reboot, I could see the modified value.

But toggle was never visible. After installing SQLite Editor, when I ran the query, MobileData was not there.

So I assume, SQLite Debugger never changed settings.db. I had system partition mounted as rw using root explorer.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
You remind me of me. You're making it much harder than it is.

If your're getting code 14 error, then you're probably using an older version of sqlite editor, or one of the other sqlites, if I'm not mistaken. And, you're not going to get too many suggestions on where to get apps free from around here.

Now, to bring your phone back, I recommend either using my guide, or the one in the ultra power save thread. But, you only need to flash the AP file in Odin if you don't want to factory reset your phone right away.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Menneisyys:
Yes, as POP3 is a standard TCP/IP protocol as is HTTP, you can access it via Wi-Fi. That is, if you have a working POP3 mailbox already configured on your PDA, it should work over Wi-Fi connections too.

Note that SMTP (outgoing mail) is a bit different question. If you plan to send mails too (not just receive them), you may end up having to use SMTP authentication.

[Google Chromecast] Asadullah:
So I just saw the the little news about towelroot on the xda front page I'm wondering if that would work with the chromecast? Should I unplug this thing to stop updates or what?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Sadly, I don't think it has any effect on Chromecast.

The trouble is that towelroot is an APK.

Chromecast won't let you sideload APKs due to whitelist.

Non-vulnerable Chromecast won't load unsigned code from bootloader/recovery.

Because you can't "just run an app" the way to get root on Chromecast is by flashing a pre-rooted ROM.

The only way to flash a ROM is to use FlashCast, which requires a vulnerable bootloader, because FlashCast is not signed by Google.

Non-vulnerable bootloaders will only run Google-signed code.

Thus, the existing root methods for Chromecast remain:

FlashCast

on vulnerable bootloaders only

Replace the firmware/bootloader via physical chip removal and reprogramming

Once the bootloader gets (auto) updated, you can't flash anything because the bootloader will not execute FlashCast.
[Google Chromecast] deeper-blue:
Another possibility would be to use a Chrome sandbox escape vulnerability and try to execute the kernel exploit this way - good luck with that :/
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
That's an idea, but the trick is getting Chrome to execute the exploit to begin with... Essentially the Chromecast whitelist acts like parental control on a router - Chromecast can only access approved addresses unless it's been made a developer unit.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
And even if you could manage to get it to run inside CCast Chrome...I'm sure the Sandbox seals it off from making any changes to the root or bootloader status.
