I added an init script to /etc/init.d to startup vsftpd, and now my device won't fully power up to the stage whereby I can connect to it via WiFi and adjust settings/SSH into it, etc.

Allow me to document how I achieved the connection:

#1 I have a Raspberry Pi running "Raspbian" *latest* - see screenshots below for how to disable the Pi's own boot log outputting from /dev/TTYAMA0 (its UART port) upon Pi boot up, freeing up /dev/TTYAMA0 for use as a 3.3v UART/serial port for attaching to the Y855 in order to access it (follow the blue & grey screenshots, in order, to do this - the first command you need to initiate the first screen is "sudo raspi-config" - after following the blue & grey screenshots, you do "sudo reboot" to make it stick.)

#2 Open terminal on Raspbian: "sudo apt-add-repository multiverse && sudo apt-get update" ... wait for that to finish, then do "sudo apt-get install minicom" (minicom is a serial terminal.)

#3 Do "sudo minicom -s" to setup the serial port according to the black & white screenshots below (remember, this is Pi's UART - the 3.3v serial port on the 40 pin GPIO header.)

Here's the bootlog (attached) I get over serial from my EE "Osprey" (Y855) where it is sticking, and won't go further than the "EE" logo on the AMOLED, and the web interface/WiFI is offline & my Mac gives me a self-assigned "169.XXX.XXX.XXX" IP, since the Y855's DHCP server isn't working. How frustrating!

Okay, fixed my Y855V (EE "Osprey" in the UK) by having been offered help by this very kind gentleman from Serbia, on gsmhosting forums; here he is:

He gave me a special flashing tool which wiped, reinstalled and revived my UK Y855V.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valashtar:
Hello all. Bought my first HTC One (AT&T version, SIM unlocked) used on Craigslist and it's a bit of a puzzle.

It's got hboot 1.44, been htcdev bootloader unlocked, and was running CyanogenMod 11 from the Installer when I got it. It's still S-ON though, and for reasons relating to attempting to get warranty repairs, I'd like to get S-OFF, but haven't had any luck.

I can flash any recovery I like (currently CWM Touch 6.0.4.8 m7), and any rom that I've tried (so far only AOSP-based), but no s-off tool I've tried will work. I downgraded the phone to Cyanogen 10.1 (android 4.2) and tried revone, but it just reboots the phone when I try "revone -P". I've been too scared to just go ahead and try the "rev one -s 0" command.

Firewater and rumrunner won't work on this hboot. I have not tried moonshine yet.

I've read a lot of horror stories on the forums, and I don't want to brick this phone in trying to get s-off. I've heard that Android Revolution HD 31.6 works well with revone, but I've also been too scared to flash that incase I inadvertently update the hboot.

What is my best bet for gaining S-OFF?? I'm no newb to flashing and I am more than comfortable with a commandline, I just don't know what to flash.

Lastly, I need to go back to stock so I can send this phone in for warranty repair, but I don't want to lose S-OFF if I send it away. Is there a way to do this?

UPDATE: got it all sorted. flashed the maximusHD rom (android 4.2.2) from HERE and successfully seized S-OFF with revone. Going back to stock now.

Thanks to BengalBoy for giving XDA-Developers the first available ROM for HTC Artemis in flashable format, here are the details:

This is a test ROM with TomTom GPS software included, this ROM is a work in progress of the commercial ROM that will ship on the final Artemis version.

ROM Version: 1.11.405.1 WWE (World Wide English)

RADIO Version: P4.1.13.25_02.49.9

Bootloader: 1.11.0000

CID: HTC__001

Bootloader in this rom is 1Mb as opposite to the 256Kb bootloader that shipps in commercial devices and shipped ROM upgrades, it comes with full debugging enabled and help for all bootloader commands!!

The ROM is shipped in NBH format so you can extract it if you want to look at the ROM components.

A wiki page has been opened for the Artemis:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Artemis

You will find the ROM upgrade file under the "Shipped Complete ROM" section, or by following the xda-developers ftp link:

ART_HTCWWE_11140501_024990_WWE_Test_R.exe

It is still a lot of work to do on this phone, so please Artemis owners help the community by editing the wiki and sharing your knowledge.

Enjoy! :D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] framedtke:
I have an AT&T Galaxy S3 with Android 4.4.2. I used Towelroot to root my phone and it worked really well. My only concern is about which ROMs to use. It looks like most ROMs for the S3 are for android 4.3 and not what I have. Since I used a root technique for an S4 does that mean I should use ROMs from the Galaxy S4 4.4.2?

Any information would be great. I do not want to brick my phone!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
NO. You must stay within the roms for your device. Flashing anything else is highly likely to give you a brick.

You have already started out on the wrong foot; these forums are for the Sprint S3, not the AT&T variant. Look for your device forum and you can flash any rom listed, regardless of whether the rom is 4.3 or 4.4.2 based
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlowerFrost:
Okay, so my nexus got soft-bricked, on its own. I tried the following methods but none worked for me.

-hard resetting (the device got stuck to the erasing screen until its battery ran out)

-tried this guide (from androidcentral by 2defmouze) , no luck because i need an unlocked bootloader for it.

-tried unlocking the bootloader with NRT (nexus root toolkit) . the device shut down after choosing the "yes" option and didnt reboot

- tried flashing stock with NRT, again it requires an unlocked bootloader.

- tried restore stock using NRT, couldnt since no ABD device was found (the drivers are installed correctly) . the reason im pretty sure is because usb debugging is not enabled (obviously i cant enable it)

Now im thinking of enabling "force flash" in NRT but after reading the warning, that the device can get hard bricked, im having second thoughts. the warning said that that option should only be enabled if some requirements arent met (like the "required" bootloader) im not sure what "required" bootloader means. my bootloader is 4.23 and android version is 4.4.2. i downloaded the correct files, yet, im worried if this will cause my nexus 7 to be completely bricked.

should i go for it ? or should i try hard resetting it once again , with the charger plugged in ? any other ways to fix it ? please help. thank you.

My dilema is that with 4.4.2 there are roms that have xperia camera installed and all other perks, but in 4.4.4 there are more new options including double tap to wake and turn phone around to wake and stuff like that. As fas as i know i cant have sony camera on cm or paranoid, so what rom is best for you guys, what do you suggest? that i stay on 4.4.4 and have bad photos, or maybe there is a way to improve camera in 4.4.4 or move back to 4.4.2. Also in xperia roms when i change dpi the xperia luncher shrinks so badly that does not look good on 320dpi, it just stays on 4 icons in a row. Any advice would be welcome

XDAIIi GPS problem

Chicken,

what version of TT are u using?

what gps receiver?

If it's TT3.x, 4.x, or 5.x (don't know v6 yet), first you'll need to pair your receiver with your XDA. Go to Bluetooth Manager->Tools->Paired Devices. Here (if it's not there already) tap on Add and then tap on search icon (next to Device: field). It will search for any bluetoothdevices in range. Once it finds your GPS receiver, enter the passkey (provided with the receiver, usually 0000) and tap ok. The GPS receiver should be installed.

Start TT, go to Change Preferences and browse to Show GPS Status. Here, tap on Configure, choose your GPS device (I guess it will be Other Bluetooth GPS), click on Select (if prompted for pairing the GPS with PDA just tap on Continue) and choose the port. It'll be one of the bluetooth serial ports (it's COM6 in my case). Make sure that the receiver is still on and bluetooth active and watch the GPS status. If there is No GPS device! message on the top go back to configuration and change to another port.

If still no luck go to your XDA Start->Settings->Connections->Beam, make sure the Receive all incoming beams is not selected. If still no joy, you'll need to test all the connections, check if you can 'see' the receiver with another bluetooth device ez mobile phone, than do the same with your PDA. You can also reset the GPS receiver (check the manual), you can also do it by removing the battery from it and leave it like this overnight...

Good luck!
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] chiken:
can you recommend a good GPS receiver?

Hi Robsonix.

Thanks for your reply. I got stuck at the first stage though - but was relieved to find out I'm not a complete dummy as this is what I had already tried - but failed. I cannot get my GPS to pair up with my bluetooth. My phone cannot find it.

I bought my receiver on Ebay. its just a wire thing that connects through my cig lighter to my phone. It didnt come with any instructions!! I think its a little dodgy. Can you recommend a proper one?

I'm not sure what tom tom it is, I think 5?? But actually I havent a clue.

I cant check if the receiver works with another phone as it only has connections for the xda 2i.

Thanks for your help - I hope u can help me some more.....

any recommendations??

SPV 1500 "Alpine" TT5 with GPS receiver

I've just joined this Forus following the aquisition of an Orange SPV which is now unlocked to run on T-Mobile. I have also used an MDA Compact II (Charmer?) successfully for the past year.

Like this current thread originator "chicken" (and no doubt many others) have had difficulty running my Holox BT-321 BT sat receiver with TT5. It pairs OK, but I TT5 cannot "see" the device, even though I have selected just about every Com device available.

I recently bought a wired sat receiver (just like chicken did), and thought this would work better. However, TT5 will not see this device either!

Can someone tell me how I can check which Com port is active on the PDA, or check if there is an input stream coming in from the sat receiver?

This is getting bloody frustrating now. My old Nokia 6600's worked first time out of the box!

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raundown:
Hi I love putting all of my photos taken with my dslr into my Sony tablet z to show my clients. However I find that I always have to wait for a second or two for photos to be fully loaded which is quite frustrating. I'm already using a Samsung MicroSD Pro which is top of the line and formatted my card to exfat but I do not see any significant difference compared to a slower card. <br />

<br />

I was thinking if my choice of allocation unit size might have an influence on the performance. I'm currently on 8192 and most of my photos are 10-15 MB jpegs. <br />

<br />

Please advise.<br />

<br />
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riekr:
i don't think changing allocation unit would make much difference but the best way is to use a desktop app like "atto disk benchmark" or any other that tests speed with varying block size and then select the best from the results.

the block size depends most on the type of micro sd you are using, and if speed is so important use a class10 or better uhs-something (they are getting cheaper nowadays).

the best solution would be to batch resize the photos before putting them on microsd, 1920x1080 will be the fastest without loosing details but you will loose a lot of details when zooming, increasing size will make loading slower but allow better zooming. this part is a trial and error matter.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raundown:
Thank you for your help. I am using a Samsung MicroSDHC UHS-1 card and it is advertised as up to 70MB/s read and 20MB/s write. I have tried atto disk as you suggested and the read and write performance does not go beyond 20MB/s. I am guessing the tablet does not have UHS-1 interface which bottlenecks the potential of the card.

I am afraid downsizing the photos is not an option as clients like to see original resolution of my photos. Seems like being patient is the only thing i can do.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riekr:
you can try to encode photos in progressive jpeg but i don't know if album will display the image while loading. the total time to complete should be the same but it should display something before the finish.

what makes me think is that 20mb/s should take less than 1 sec to load a 15mb image so maybe the problem is not the sd speed but the decoding speed. maybe trying another photo viewer could help.

good luck!

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] patstar5:
I flashed skydragon rom onto my htc one m8. I love it! Though I have two caveats. The most annoying one is the lock screen on stock android. On the stock rom I could set passcode and have it delay a few minutes so I wouldn't have to enter password everytime. I also had access to lockscreen and widgets. Now, I can temporary disable lockscreen and password but I only want to disable password so I can still access widgets and lockscreen. Anyway to do this?

Also, is there a way I can hold powebutton to turn flashlight on while screen is off? Had xposed module that did it on stock rom, found some other modules but they use volume up button and I can't use that because it interferes with gesture to open camera.
