[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Goekay:
Hello guys, I have a big problem.

3 weeks ago I had Ressurection Remix custom rom as daily driver.

Everything is alright, even if it won*t wake up sometimes, it's okay too.

I visit everyday the xda forum and look for news and updates for my device GT-I9105P.

I saw a updated version of AOSB custom rom to version 1.3.5 and downloaded it.

Boot to CWM 6.0.4.5 and wiped data and cache and installed AOSB 1.3.5.

After I hit reboot it stucks on the bootscreen. I wait over 10 minutes.

Since I stuck on this bootscreen I can't install any other rom and can't even restore my backup.

They all stuck at the bootscreen. Tried the Original stock rom via odin and it's the same, it won't boot.

I realised by the original rom there are the samsung boot sound and i heard that the sound won't play till the end.

What I don't understand, I can install CyanogenMod it works not 100%.

I can't download anything. If I want to download Apps or update them, the error google playstore has stoped apear.

After that I can't open Playstore again. It closes imediately after I hit the icon with the same error.

I can't even download from the Browser. If I download via browser it says the download managar has stoped.

If I connect my device with my laptop I can see the Internal Storage and the SD card BUT: The Internal Storage is empty.

I can't copy into internal storage.

I think it have something to do with permissions but I installed so many custom roms but since the 1.3.5 version every rom won't work.

I really don't know what to do. Used adb for logcat and I will upload it. I searched for /storage/emulated/0 and there is something.

"addStorageLocked 65537 /storage/emulated/0"

Btw, I don't have a efs partition it says error in the recovery. Something like /efs partition not found.

This happend after 1.3.5. For this rom everything worked fine.

Hope you guys can help me :/

EDIT:

E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)

You are installed stock with odin and phone go in reboot samsung logo?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Goekay:
exactly. If I flash stock with odin, it reboots after the flash into the samsung bootlogo and there it stucks.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] karamancho:
you can try the procedure described here and also add the pit file and enable re-partition as described in the NOTE 1 section of the first post

When you are in samsung logo torn off the phone with power button and go in recovery and do factory reset- wipe check partition and wait.

Sounds bad.. Try downgrade to 4.1.2 and then update 4.2.2 via ota or kies.

Can u use wifi or mobile data?

If u can, problem is not efs file.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Goekay:
I tried it with Odin 3.9.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Goekay:
I can use wifi and mobile data both are working.

There is no firmware 4.1.2 for german Modell. Every german firmware are on 4.2.2.

There are other 4.1.2 firmware on samfirmware but for other countries like china for example.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] rs tony:
Look from sammobile. There should be 4.1.2 for every country.

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew10c:
Some questions.

Is it possible to do OTA update when available while rooted?

If not, will just unrooting via supersu unroot option be sufficient to update an OTA update? Or must custom recovery be removed and stock recovery restored?

If so, has HTC made the stock recovery image/files and stock Rom available?

Are there any toolkits that can help with this rooting, unrooting for HTC 816?

HI guys,

Got my new TyTn out the box, set it up with some of my files, now i am trying to sync with my exchange server.

If I take off SSL, it tells me I don't have permission to initiate sync, which i know i do, cause i set it up on my account.

If i put SSL on, it says the server cannot be reached,

Could someone out there please help me. I have been trying for weeks, in the end i thought it was the unit, so this is my new unit now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fun_key:
Be sure that the OWA folder (http://yourserver/exchange) has the "require SSL" unticked in security option of IIS, also check that integrated authentification is ticked.

Check that your tytn trust the CA and that the cert match the server name (with both internal/external DNS if possible).

If you want to go without SSL (which is far from being a good idea, everything will go through the network in plain text) have a check in the server log; there will be a critical event explaining you what is going on and what to do in that case
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ruski:
Hi man,

Thanks for the response, how do i issue the CA certificate for the Tytn from the server?

Is that maybe my problem that the relationship between the device and the server hasn't been established properly?

I just want to get my e-mail, why has microsoft made it such an issue?

Surely if you enter in all the correct details for the server and the user account it should work, just like setting up teh IMAP with the send and recieve schedule like u used to on the IIi's?

Appreciate the help mate

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fun_key:
Microsoft deny you to check your email if you don't trust the CA. This is normal and a part of the SSL security; SSL certs are used to cipher AND to auth.

If the certificat is not issue by a trusted root CA it won't be trusted by your device. You have to connect to http:/ca_server/certsrv and here select "download" CA cert. Just transfert the cert to your device and set it up. If you can not acces the CA web service that way you may be able to gather the certificate while surfing to te OWA with explorer: go to https://your_server/exchange click on the little lock, go to "certification's path" double click the certificat on the top of the "tree" go to detail and select save to file. Select *.cert format and then finaly send this file to your PPC.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ruski:
No can't connect to the Cert page, and with the OWA page, if you mean the little lock that appears at the bottom of some web pages in one of the blocks, I don't get that with my OWA. :( I am a bit lost...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fun_key:
use https://your/owa instead of http://your/owa. Using the OWA without cipher is far from being a good idea; your user/password (wich is in fact an active directory user, that a some power) goes in plain text through the internet.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ruski:
aaw, man, Thanks so much, I see now... OK, I will get the certificate off tomorrow and copy it onto my Tytn. I really hope that works! Thanks for your help!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ruski:
OK, now I have made the certificate and copied it onto the Tytn, Still says The server could not be reached! Support code: 0x80072EE2

Ok, just want to check, when setting up the server, under server name, I have the servers external IP address. SSL is ticked, the user name and password and domain should be correct, username is @domain.local

Other than that, not much complicated, i don't seem to be understanding microsofts issue here, i have searched for white papers, which seem to be very vague and no step by step on how to set it up.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fun_key:
Hooooaarg speaking english is giving me headache ;)

You are only satisfying one of the requirement at now:

-Your tytn trust your CA

In IIS you have issued a certificat to a name, for instance server.domain.local; if you contact this server through a SSL connexion by another name you will get an error; the name you accessed doesn't match the name in the certificate; so for IE and your PPC the security may be compromised. In active sync, under server name, you have to enter the exact same name you entered when you issued the SSL certificat in IIS, if it is internal (server.domain.local) it will only work as long as you are on your network. There are several ways to solve that; you can revoque this certificat in IIS and issue a new one matching your external DNS, with this solution you will be able to setup your activesync to connect through the external name of your server, keep in mind that NAT forwarding must be configured to route the traffic from HTTP socket (80) to the exchange server.

You can also setup a VPN server (L2TP/IPSEC should work fine), so that you will always be on the internal network and so able to get your email. This should be the safest way to go, but I guess that it generate more traffic, thanks to the encapsulation; so if you are greedy and pay per byte, avoid this solution.

You could, at last, also disable the SSL encryption; but in my opinion this FAR from being the good way to go, it should only be used for testing purpose.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ruski:
If you can speak afrikaans I will happily change! lol

OK, if I turn off SSL and connect to the server external IP, it says I don't have permission to synchronise,

If i turn on SSL it tells me the server can't be reached, wish it would make up it's mind.

I am not very good with IIS, I am staring at it now. I am not sure if i did the certificate thing right. As there are 2 options to export , DER encoded and Base-64, I used DER first time round.

If i try and access the server name ie. https://servername it says i cannot use my existing connection and must check properties.....

Thanks for your help man!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sebjepb:
You may want to check that you are also forwarding port 443 or what ever port you are using for https access for external use at the server end.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] adebilloez:
You had to get ActiveSync permitted for your account (by administring it with "Active Directory users and computers" in one of the tab for your users) but you also need it activated on the Exchange "System Manager" under organisation settings (have a look at www.httpsync.net)

[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pragun-sharma:
hey guys i just bought moto e few days back and lately i have noticed the fact that the camera snaps of moto E of a text are really poor.I mean for a landscape scenic day light photos its fine but for texts like newspapers,books etc its barely readable....

i am attaching the camera shot of a small size newspaper ET Wealth in a daylight indoor environment. As you can see the text is really washed out and can't be read!!

Am i the only one facing this issue???:( are u having a similar problem?? Or is it this way in moto E?? (same 5MP performs in moto G performs brilliantly and text is quite clear in the photographs!!)

please do share your snaps of text and do reply or assist....i appreciate your help...
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo.ank:
Moto E doesn't have auto-focus, it cannot focus on small elements like text or on macro shots.Unfortunately, thats the case and there's nothing you can do to avoid it.

Moto G has a different camera, yes they are both 5MP and have same UI but that's where similarities end.So don't compare the two.

well thanks for replying..did u have a look my camera snaps???...are u getting similar clarity...can u please share your snaps of text so that i can be assured of the fact....

[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nik_:
no auto focus on moto e

there is no auto focus on moto e whick means moto e with 5mp camera has fixed focus, so it takes pretty much decent photos in light, nut when it comes to taking snaps of small things like txt or some small elements the camera fails. moto e has poor camera quality so have to compromise here. i have 2 moto e devices both have same poor camera quality as it is a budget mobile, and even my friends have the same so no need to worry still moto e is worth it's the money paid for it. so enjoy (y).

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfbytecode:
I own the D-820 model of the phone. I was trying to change the PRL, and the IMEI is showing up as 0 now.

Having said that, I flashed the kernel with diagnostic mode enabled and installed LG United drivers. I was successful at getting the device SPC. Using DFS, I was able to change the "Ruim mode" as well. The changes got successfully written so far. Changing PRL screwed up the IMEI.

Ever since, I've been trying to set ESN, MEID and IMEI using DFS, CDMADevTerm, QPST NV Manager, and EFS Pro (Qualcomm NV Tools). All fail (the IMEI reverts to 0; the original IMEI does not get written back).

I have even tried changing the connection mode in Qualcomm NV Tools (EFS Pro) to factory test mode, before writing. It results in "Unknown" baseband and blank IMEI (upon dialing *#06# on the phone). "Low power" connection mode also fails to write the IMEI back.

I've read the MEID fields are secured in some way. Anybody have any pointers to make it work?

By the way, the phone accepts any 16-digit diagnostic password in the aforementioned tools. I've been told it may not apply to phones other than Samsung devices. Could it be possible the phone is waiting for the correct 16-digit password to "unlock" the MEID fields, and simply accepts other passwords but does NOT unlock the fields?

I have also tried flashing stock firmware, and it appears it wasn't the case where phone is not able to read the stored IMEI.

I am not familiar with efs yet.

Maybe try to follow the guide about fix imei on lg g2. It could serve as a good base. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701861

If you have a backup of your efs before you started editing the nvitems then restore it. It is important to make efs backup before you start to play with those kind of efs tools.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfbytecode:
I'm just trying to fix my device here on my own, by writing back the IMEI found on my phone's sim tray, box, etc. I'm kind of broke these days, so it's hard.

I had indeed tried out NV Manager in QPST, but it failed to write to item number 550 (IMEI).

In fact I found this exact same guide and a bunch of others too.

I'm kind of surprised it works on LG g2 and not for me on nexus 5.

Could it be possible the diagnostic mode that was enabled by modifying the kernel (found here on XDA) didn't enable it fully?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
It could be. What if we find a lg g2 as a donor. You flash the efs from your nexus to lg g2 and try to fix it, then if it worked you move the fixed efs from lg g2 back to nexus 5.

Nexus 5 has a second recovery it is on the LAF partition, this is called download mode. By exteacting the ramdisk of it I found traces that it could be used with qpst. To enable it I have to edit the ramdisk. The file which have to be edited is usb.init.rc or something similar. I dont remember well.

I can extract ramdisk and change the content, but I dont know the command parameters for put the kernel image and the ramdisk together as a whole boot.img

I may be able to figure out how to put ramdisk together with the zimage (of the diag mode kernel above). I've analyzed some kernels which do it using updater-script. In the past I've also used tools like android kitchen (not sure about the exact name).

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
hm... comparing the laf ramdis and the diag enabled ramdisk I have to say that I was wrong, but still this is a interesting thing in the init.laf.usb.rc file:

What could this QCT PID be? I thought these are the lines for teh diag mode.

Here is the laf image with extracted ramdisk and some from here to build the kernel

You could also try this early key lime pie rom. This is an internal test version of android 4.4 from september or august. Maybe this kernel can be used to enable diag mode. If I remember well it may have an app called hidden menu where you can change the usb port settings so you dont need root an use adb commands. Before you flash it backup you misc partition because at the first booting this rom will change the device factory version string on the misc partition to something else which will cause cause that LG flashtool will stop wokring for you device unless you change that string back from "FACTORY" to "USER"

to backup your misc: dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc of=/sdcard/misc.img

from your sdcard copy it to you pc just for safety reasones

To return to stock flash back any stock rom from google then restore your misc partition using this command:

dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfbytecode:
Well that is really intriguing. I was oblivious to the laf mode. I did know about .tot files and lg flash tool, but nothing more than that.

I see laf has seprate a kernel and a ramdisk, which is what you were talking about all along. It makes sense to me now.

I will give this a shot when I have some free time on my hands and will let you know.

[MENTION=4325732]bitdomo[/MENTION] I modified the file that you mentioned, swapping USER and QCOM lines.

I flashed it on my phone using Terminal Emulator using the following command:

dd if=/sdcard/laf1.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf

Now when I connect the phone in download mode, the phone is stuck at the tiny "Download Mode" logo and windows does not detect any USB device.

Further, I observed the original dump size is 22 MB and the repacked laf image size is merely 13.2 MB. The size of the extracted kernel and ramdisk sums up to 13.2 MB.
