There are many tutorials on flashing a radio. Using flashify from within the ROM is the easiest option. The other option would be to use your computer and fastboot flash it.

hey thanks man totally fixed....
[HTC Sensation] linuxludo:
Hy !

I am new to this forum...

I have installed the rom "[ROM][STABLE][Android 4.4.4] CyanogenMod 11 with 3.0.16 kernel" (06/20/2014) and I want to upgrade to the same rom (07/01/2014) without lost my data.

Is it possible ?

Thx
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
make a nandroid from recovery just in case

the flash the newest version of the rom without wipe
[HTC Sensation] LxMaD:
I always wiped cache +dalvik after having flashed the new zip file. You shouldnt lose your settings, you might need to do a full wipe at some point if you're starting to experience problems though. Didn't have to do that myself, yet, but I (and you will at that point as well) might have to look into getting something like titanium backup then.

Dear everyone,

My phone gets on but is stuck on the four balls of google logo. I havent done anything like dropped or water. i am in India & I have bought phone from Dubai so no warranty here. :(:confused:

I am so much in this mess. I tried reading forums about Nexus 4 factory settings & Wipe Cache by hardware buttons using switch off button & volume buttons but it is still the same.

Please help me.

my opinion, is you can install this, http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/orig-development/toolkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-8-2-t2015469

and make a factory restore
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
In April, Microsoft released a preview of a framework for Windows Store apps that would convert .NET assemblies into the compiled native binaries of the target architecture (x64/ARM for now) in order for application optimization. This tool was named, .NET Native.

This tool itself will help protect your code and IP (a.k.a make it even harder for people to reproduce your code, but not impossible) and also increase the application's performance.

Getting Started:

To download .NET Native, Go to the home page and register/download the preview. Close all instances of Visual Studio 2013 (VS 2013 Update 2 is required) then run the installation package.

The .NET Native tools are configured to purely work with Windows Store apps only, but I figured that it SHOULD work with Windows Phone 8.1 projects since they both use WinRT (mostly). I decided to come up with a solution that would enable .NET Native for Windows Phone 8.1 projects manually since there's no way to enable it from Visual Studio.

Here's the PowerShell script that runs this. BE SURE TO RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR

I've tested this with VS 2013 Ultimate Update 2 running on Windows 8.1 Update 1 with the English language.

The syntax is as follows:

./enableProjectN.ps1 -solution "c:\pathtovsproject\wp81solution.sln"

The script will go through and determine whether you have VS 2013 installed, and whether the projects in your solution are WP 8.1 projects. It will then add the project config nodes that enable .NET Native.

For this to work, you MUST target your projects to the Release|ARM configuration in Configuration Manager.

The building of your project will take a little longer since it is running all of the tools to compile your C# into the native binaries . The file size will go up exponentially, but the app will run faster.

Read through the Compiling for .NET Native page for complete information on how the .NET Native technology works and for any gotchas.

Happy compiling.

EDIT: I've noticed that my test app doesn't work. It wasn't the initial app I was testing with, but I found out why people are getting dependency errors during deployment. You have to include a C++ WinRT Universal Component in your solution and reference it from your main app, then the build will link up the dependencies needed and allow you to push it to your device.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Found a tiny issue with my .NET Native script for WP 8.1 You HAVE to run powershell from within the Developer Command Prompt for VS 2013, THEN run the powershell script. I didn't realize that I had made this script from within that environment and noticed that the essentially environment variables that I am using weren't there when calling PS regularly.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] FabricioGS:
Nice share! Will try this at home tonight.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Awesome! One thing to note for now. This will only work for projects that are sideloaded . The Store doesn't accept some of the DLL Imports that are added by the generated dlls.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Sunius1:
Anything in particular?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] mcosmin222:
I am sorry but isn't ahead of time compilation the way .net apps have compiled to native on windows phone since 2011?

The compiler does produce MSIL assemblies, but these are compiled to native upon deployment, unless the dev side loads it and the package is created for JIT.

Has something changed in wp8.1?

As far as i know, .net native is only designed for windows store apps.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
This completely makes Native binaries using a compiler that's just like C++. No .NET code whatsoever. The DLL that's generated contains the bulk of the code and the EXE just loads the entrypoint of the .DLL.

Yes, for now .NET Native is designed for Windows Store apps, but since WP 8.1 just happens to use the WinRT assemblies that .NET Native needs, it will actually work for WP 8.1 apps. The Store doesn't accept the particular native functions that were listed in the post above yet though.

I've attached a blank WP 8.1 project that I've .NET Native compiled. Peer into the .DLL using IDA Pro and you'll see what they did. Notice that none of these files are .NET assemblies, they are pure ARMv7 compiled PE files. The .NET Native precompiles to pure Native binary, not doing optimization on an assembly for the specific architecture.

Check out the .NET Native links I put in the first post as they explain more of what's going on.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] mcosmin222:
I know what .net native is and how it is different from the usual .net compilation, I am just not so sure it is of any actual use on windows phone. I know a lot of people would kill to get this on desktop (well, they technically do, with ngen), but on windows phone, i really don't see the need.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
It'll be faster to run, no memory overhead with the compilation and better protection of your code. I see it as very useful for those who want to code in C#, but have it fully compiled to native binary for the speed and execution time without having to use C++. I don't really see how it couldn't be useful, but to each their own I guess :).

I just posted this because it was a cool tweak that I've seen some interest from in others.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Well, it's undeniably a cool find. I'm unsure of its usefulness, though.

Normal phone apps, even from the Store, still have the CIL binary code in them. This makes them much easier to reverse engineer, among other things.

On the other hand, a JIT (from CIL to native) can perform some platform-specific optimization, which may produce a faster-running binary than one which is compiled for a generic target. With that said, I don't believe that the Store apps actually get JITed on the phone - I *think* they are instead pre-compiled to native for each processor that is in common use, and the correct one is installed - so this performance improvement may already be present. On the flip side, while .NET Native does allow you to bypass the JIT startup time (I assume that's what you meant by "speed and execution time" since it still performs the other things, like dynamic memory management and so on, that slow down managed code...), so does the precompiled-at-the-store approach.

A clear downside of .NET Native is the large binaries it produces. That wastes space with a lot of install footprint, and may also cost memory (assuming the phone kernel retains the page combining feature of NT6.2 and higher on the desktop, this impact could be minor or it could be massive depending on whether the chunks of code from the .NET framework are compiled in aligned on page boundaries and thus suitable for combining). On the other hand, there's no need to keep both the CIL and the native code in memory at once, so it could save some RAM too.

Anyhow, you're getting something that may actually run slower (all the downsides of managed code at runtime, none of the advantages of JIT) without any faster startup than is already available from the Store. It makes bigger downloads and uses more install space, and may also cost extra RAM at runtime (or may not). Unless you really want to use a managed language in a hard-to-reverse-engineer way - which is admittedly a common goal, as evidenced by all the obfuscators out there - this doesn't seem like an advantage over the existing options.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
^^ This was my only big concern.. The immense binaries.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Sunius1:
Does this actually work for you on the device? For me, it adds bunch of references to Kernel32.dll, which obviously doesn't exist on the phone and in result it fails to even start.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
It worked for me when I tested on my phone (Lumia 1520/Cyan). I made this thread only after having it work on my device first. I tried it without the Cyan firmware first though.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Sunius1:
Strange. If I download your attached "Empty" app, and open the main .dll in Depends.exe, I can clearly see 2 references to kernel32.dll and one to ole32.dll.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Hmm, does it actually deploy and run for you though?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Sunius1:
Well, you posted naked files, not an app package. Making a package with makeappx and trying to deploy it with the AppDeploy.exe fails the deployment fails due to dependency check.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
that IS the package made via Visual Studio when you click to prepare a Store app (which uses makeappx to generate the appx project). You're probably missing the VCLibs dependency on your phone (somehow).
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Packaging doesn't INCLUDE the dependencies with the package manually. The VCLibs appx is on the file system if you have the 8.1 SDK though.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Sunius1:
/facepalm. Since you posted it as a zip file, I actually thought you zipped up output folder, instead of building app package and then renaming.

However, it will still not deploy for me. I do have VCLibs, and even putting them next to the appx file fails the deployment process. Anyway, I'll try some more stuff to see if I can get it to work.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Yeah, I had to rename to .zip since appx files aren't supported for upload (at least for me :P). Now it actually BREAKS for me after trying to push it again. Interesting... I'm going to see if one of my other ones I've tested with works.

Hmmm. I really am not able to push these to my phone anymore. SOMETHING changed.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Sunius1:
Okay, I got it to launch! Just I'm not sure if it's working correctly - your application just displays a black screen. Without having the source code, it's hard to say whether that's intended :).

What I did:

1. Removed VCLibs dependency from application manifest;

2. Actually packed msvcr120_app.dll with the appx package (it's the only VCLibs DLL that your binary depends on);

3. Opened up the DLL in a hex editor and changed it to reference EnumTimeFormatsEx and EnumCalendarInfoExEx via KernelBase.dll rather than Kernel32.dll.

I've also tried it on a more complex application. It worked, but I had to make a fake Ole32.dll that forwards CoTaskMemAlloc to API-MS-WIN-CORE-COM-L1-1-1.DLL, as the name is too long for hex edit to work (or I'm just not competent enough at doing it :P).

However, speed up wasn't there. Gonna do performance invesgations tomorrow. WIll report results.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
You might be on to something... I wonder if you can somehow remove the dependencies that make it blow up when submitting to the store?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Sunius1:
It's definitely doable. Remove, probably not, as they rely on the APIs to work. However, you could probably implement them yourself without the use of the forbidden APIs and redirect it to call your DLL rather than something from system32 folder. Actually this is a common technique and I've used this method in the past for missing .NET APIs, since there's loads of stuff that isn't available on Store/Phone. So instead of totally rewriting source code when porting existing application, I'd implement missing APIs on my own and just redirect existing DLL to call into calling my code. It works wonderfully.

Probably the hardest part in doing the same for native DLLs would be actually be writing a tool that can work with the PE header format - I couldn't find any after googling. After that's done, the whole execution stuff could be automated.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
I think you should write a nice post for the missing .NET Apis and how they could be potentially useful on the Phone. That sounds quite promising
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Sunius1:
You'd still need to implement them yourself :). But yea, I'll keep that in mind when I have free time.
[General Questions and Answers] Dzawti:
Okay, so I used Cydia Impactor to root my Virgin Mobile ZTE N800 AWE about a week ago. Worked perfectly, no problems at all. My wife typically doesn't like me to root her phones, but with the low amount of device memory on the N800 she finally agreed to let me root it. I get either "no such device" or "signature bugs unavailable", and have spent hours on forums looking for a solution or a work around. Can someone please help me out with the information that I am missing.

[Microsoft Surface] Scoutsassin:
I'm relatively new on XDA and also to my new Surface RT, but I think I've found something useful.

I bought my Surface first gen two days ago from an employee from a local retailer, who has won the tablet because of his job. So when I bought it, it came with a preconfigured account MMS on it. I think this would be deployed as demo item, but it never was done so.

So, the point is, when I checked This Computer there was a DVD-RW drive connected, with something like a install disk/iso from Windows inserted. Ofcourse Surfaces don't have physical drives, so I quicly copied the complete contents to my pc.

So my question: is this really the Windows RT install disk? I have really no idea how I can check that.

Quick edit: tried opening the setup.exe, and it popped up as Windows Server 2012.. That doesn't make sense at all, why would you have Server 2012 on a brand new Surface RT?! The Autorun.inf also said AMD64.
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
windows 8 & RT can mount iso images as virtual DVD drives. Seems for some reason the dude simply mounted the server 2012 image?
[Microsoft Surface] Scoutsassin:
Well, the device was brand new, it was still sealed. But still, why would MS do this, it doesn't make any sense...
[Microsoft Surface] CrunchyDoodle:
I had the original Surface RT (the one you have) and now the Surface 2 (its more advanced replacement). If it was a sealed unit, it should have just booted up and asked a few simple configuration questions and started working. You may have a special demo unit that the store would have on display.

By default there should be a factory image hidden on the SSD. Search for instructions on how to invoke a factory reset. With luck, that will work and you'll have a normal Surface RT.

Bye.
[Microsoft Surface] For the Love of Tech:
cymedic founder

My guess is that the guy was trying to install Windows Server on the Surface RT. You ask why you would have it on there? The answer is that it isn't. It is impossible to put any version of Windows on an RT version of the Surface other than Windows RT and possibly Windows Phone.

The Surface RT line of tablets uses an ARM processor while the Pro line uses x86 processors. ARM processors are the kind you find in a phone or tablet and x86 is the kind in laptops and desktops.

The processors are formatted differently and can't run the same software.

When Windows RT first came out, there was a lot of confusion as to what it could do. Many people thought they were getting a Windows tablet and it could run all the same software as Windows 8. After all, it looks exactly the same.
[Microsoft Surface] Scoutsassin:
It's pretty obvious to me Windows Server wouldn't work, and the guy selling it would know this too. The tablet wasn't completely sealed when I got it, but the seller told me it was a brand new unit, and he never booted it up himself either. Here's the thing, there already was a local user account on it, named MMS. The iso of the WS 2012 was already mounted in a virtual dvd drive. So my guess it's a demo model, but that would still not explain the iso.

Hi I own a note 10.1 2012 model and bought a genuine samsung keyboard k12 I think but the size and pins are the same so my question is will it work on the note 10.1 I, m aware that the k14 is the correct model number for the note, but the tab 10.1 keyboard is much cheaper and still available. I will get it by monday so fingers crossed it will work fine? Your thoughts please?

I believe that the Note 10.1 is too big to fit into that keyboard dock unfortunately.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Clippernote:
Really? I thought the tab2 10.1 and note 10.1 was same size all round?

No you are right note case is about 10mm wider I've canceled the order thanks for the quick reply it saved me time and money glad I joined this forum now!

Many thanks link6155 for the heads up?

I just wondered I have a docking station and if I got a double headed cable linking to keyboard to docking station then stick the note on top of the docking station would it pick up the keyboard?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] link6155:
Since they both have the same number of pins, I think it would work, but I could be wrong. I have a HDMI dock designed for the Tab 7.0. At first, my Note 10.1 wouldn't fit into the tray since it was designed for the Tab 7.0, however, once I cut the whole front side off and trimmed the side down, it worked flawlessly with my Note 10.1
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Clippernote:
There is always some kind of modding that works well shame we have to resort to getting around the individual 30Pin system :(

I bought the EDD-D100BE docking station awhile back because I couldn't decide whether to go blue tooth keyboard and use the dock.

I didn't fancy paying the £50 odd pounds for a K14 either.

I like the K14 for only one reason it won't drain out the battery from blue tooth being on. But then again there is no battery compartment for the keyboard either??

Looks like I can buy a female 30 pin to 30 pin male so in theory the female 30 pin should plug into the cheap K12 keyboard then the male end plugs into the docking station and the Note 10.1 sits nicely on the docking station 30 pin?

£5.00 for the cable

£19.00 for the K12?

Total= £24.00 half the price of a K14. Its a long winded way of getting around this problem which leads me back to a generic Bluetooth keyboard, but it can be charged whilst on a docking station plugged into the charger?

I've ordered a OTG female USB cable for the docking station and I'm going to try it with my Logitech keyboard or mouse first.

I can see in reality you would only spend that kind of money if you typed a lot, but I can see majority most people who have bought a K14 doesn't really use it that much?

or just get my dremil out and file out 5mm from each side of the keyboard.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Clippernote:
I could Carol but Dremeling a brand new not fitting keyboard seems just wrong LOL!

It would be risky to stress that small adapter point it could break?

I've found a possible solution to my needs .

I found a dedicated three port USB 2.0 adapter for the note 10.1

The difference on this one is there is a small charge port (DC5V) that has an external power supply to feed any portable devices like flash drives or keyboards. The problems with the current adapters seems to me that if it uses the note's power directly it will not recognise the device as it draws too much power from the Note so if there is a external power source actually on the USB adapter it should just pick up data passes instead?

Here is what I'm considering

Sorry cant post link so will give you Egay id no.

eBay item number:

200868036002

The only thing I would like to know is will the Note only pick up one device at a time if I have three USB ports connected to it?

It would be nice to run a USB keyboard and mouse at the same time using an external 5V power supply and not drain out the Note?
