Hello

I am following the following tutorial below to install the clockworkmod recovery but when I enter the cmd fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.0-ace.img. The cmd prompt displays the message "waiting for device" but does not do anything. Am I doing anything wrong?

1. Download and place the package file onto your Desktop.

2. Extract files from the package to your Desktop.

3. Connect your smartphone to the PC using the USB cable.

4. Double-click the Start Here.bat file to open the Command Prompt Window.

5. Enter the following command into the Command Prompt Window:

adb reboot bootloader

6. Your smartphone should reboot into the Fastboot mode.

7. Now, enter the following command into the same Command Prompt Window:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.0-ace.img

8. After the recovery has been installed on your smartphone, issue the following command:

fastboot reboot

9. Your smartphone should reboot.

Thank You

Were your drivers installed with the phone unplugged?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pat99:
-Check your data-sync cable,It should not only allow your device to charge but also data-sync.( Try with another data-sync cable)

-As you stated drivers are installed.Then when you're on bootloader,It should show HBOOT-USB. If that shows than try doing same thing again.

Or else follow simple steps below:

-Copy CWM recovery.img into fastboot files.

-Unplug your device if connected to computer.

-Manually power off your device.

-Press Volume down + Power button,It will redirect into hboot.

-Select Bootloader by clicking on power button,It will change color of HBOOT from Blue to Red.

-Next thing you'll notice that it stated as HBOOT USB.

-Put your phone on side and do same commands fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.0-ace.img

-Fastboot reboot.

Once process been done. Unplug it and boot device normally. And to check whether there's a recovery.img installed or not,Just power off your device and put on charge. In CWM it will redirect your into recovery mode while device is switched off.

2 weeks ago, I bought a Holux 236 GPS from Clove Technology.

www.clove.co.uk

In the box, was a note stating that this batch of GPS were missing the advertised UK adapters for the mains charger.

I wasnt that bothered about this, but today, I got a replacement 3 Pin charger completely out of the blue and free of charge.

I know many of you go down the cheaper / Ebay route for your GPS, but I just thought I should mention this as I think it is a fantastic ad for this company.

Give them a click.

My daughter also purchased a Holux 236 from Clove that actually developed a fault with the bluetooth connectivity with her handset.

A quick phone call and the unit returned resulted in a new replacement arriving a few days later.

No problems, just great service.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparker0285:
Problem: I do not receive any type of voicemail notification (no 9016 text, no voicemail icon in my notification bar, nothing).

About my phone: I have a Sprint Galaxy S4 (SPH-L720). I am running CM11. I can access my voicemail by holding the "1" in dialer (so I know the number is accurate in the settings). The "Message Wait" indicator option is checked in the voicemail setup. I did try Google Voice for a while (hated it, messed with my text messaging). I uninstalled it from my phone and disabled it via the google.com/voice site. I also cancelled call forwarding (*720) and conditional call forwarding (*38). When I call my voicemail or someone else calls my voicemail, it does go to the sprint voicemail system (I am confident I've severed the connection to Google Voice).

Fixes I've tried with no success: I've tried a few voicemail notification apps from the Play Store that are supposed to work with custom ROMs to "listen" for a voicemail. I've tried leaving myself a voicemail and deleting it. I've checked the Message Wait Indicator button in the settings. I've disabled call forwarding and conditional call forwarding as described above. I've made sure that I have no numbers Blacklisted. I've called Sprint and asked them to reset my voicemail on their end.

I've searched and searched. Most of what I find is 1) Use Google Voice (I tried and hated it); 2) people that have a persistent voicemail notification or 9016 text messages (I have nothing and want something), or 3) people that want Visual Voicemail to work (I don't care about visual voicemail, I just want a notification of some sort that says "Hey you have a voicemail". I don't always have great reception (Sprint is so terrible...but cheap), so I don't always know if I have a missed call.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Do you need more info? Thanks to all of you for your time and all you do on this site; it has helped me tremendously in the past. This is the first time I've been completely stumped after searching and had to post a question.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bobkoure:
Found on BensBargains (site with the least pleasant user community - so don't blame me if somebody's rude to you there)

Audio plug with button.

$2.00 w free ship or .39 with code GBSMR (no idea how long that'll last).

It's basically a button you can stick into the audio jack - and you're supposed to be able to "do things" when the button is pressed. Which means you probably need some sort of APK to make things go - or maybe it's triggering "audio jack insterted". Dunno - just ordered it.

Posting here as I've read that the power button on our tf700s is a tad fragile, so this might give someone an alternate button.

BTW, you don't need an off button if you've got CM or CROMI installed - just go to settings / interface . status bar / double-tap to sleep.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yarong:
Hi there, I would appreciate some help right now cause I've been searching around and couldn't find any solution so far.

First of all I suppose I should start with saying I'm using stock ROM D80220b-EUR-XX, rooted+custom recovery+xposed framework.

I'm having problems setting up LTE. When I'm using the 3845#*802# code and trying to choose LTE only I get a message "Not supported".

If I try the *#*#4636#*#* and change to LTE/WCDMA/GSM I instantly get 4G, but it will not stay after a restart.

Also, when I go into "Mobile networks" it never shows "LTE" in the sub menu, the phone automatically change back to the "WCDMA preferred" option in the 4636 hidden menu and "4G" changes to "H".

Is there any way to fix this? Or the only way to fix it is flashing a new ROM?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username4this:
I had a similar issue but with Cloudy G3 Rom.

All I had to do was with a file explorer like Root Browser, went into system/app and deleted LTEodex.apk and LTEconfig.apk (think these are the names) and rebooted.

Now everything is fine and 4G sticks when I chose it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yarong:
I found 2 files over there:

LTEconfig.apk

LTEconfig.odex

I renamed them to:

LTEconfig.apk.bak

LTEconfig.odex.bak

instead of deleting them and it did not work, perhaps I should move them to another folder cause I don't want to just delete them. :confused:

I have a little project in mind, but would like some input from the pros to cut research time:

Is it possible to "wrap" a Today plugin dll with another, providing a "pass through" for operations (such as screen taps, etc)?

What I'm trying to accomplish is this: Add selectability and other one-handed d-pad operation to an older plugin that is not selectable.

What do you think?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rudegar:
it's possible but the problem is that the plugin have to keep track on what plugins it include and which handles it have to pass to them

could end up big and slow
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] storyr:
This is specific to a single plugin - it would only keep track of one.

Perhaps plan B would be easier - a plugin that manipulates another plugin. Such that it would "appear" the older plugin was selected, etc. I guess I'd better go study some more...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
Actually its really simple.

Any plug-in DLL exports a function called InitCustomItem. In this function the plug-in does all its initialization, and creates its window. The return value is the handle to this window which you can subclass to add functionality.

as for selection, there is a value in the registry for each plug-in (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items) which controls whether the system passes selection events to the plug-in or not.

it has three settings:

0 - non selectable, item will be skipped by the system.

1 - Automatic, the system will paint the item and handle selection on / off

2 - Manual, the system will pass the selection event to the item and the item will take care of the rest. In this mode the return value of the WM_ACTION determines whether the selection is moving on. This is good for multiline plug-ins that don't want to give up focus when arrow keys are pressed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] storyr:
Hey, thanks for the response! I've set the Selectability registry item for the older plugin, and it's ignoring it - that's what started me on this little project.

I'm a software developer by trade, but not with C++, so I don't want to waste people's time here asking a lot of dumb questions. If you could point me in the right direction on a couple of things, I'll go off and learn:

1. If all I have is a dll and nothing else (no .defs, etc), can I determine all of the functions it exports (other than InitCustomItem)?

2. Process check: My custom plugin's InitCustomItem would call old-plugin's InitCustomItem, snagging old-plug's hwnd. New-plugin would then initialize it's own window - transparent(?) and pass that hwnd back to windows. Also, my custom plugin would pass all messages to old-plugin, etc. Theoretically, old-plug would look and operate like normal?

If this is already written, just sent me the code! ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
Well I am afraid it will be difficult to do all this without C++. As far as WM based devices are concerned you need to use something that translates in to native code to create system components like the plugins son ,no .NET languages, and embedded VB doesn't do well on anything never that WM 2003 (not even SE), plus I am not sure if you can make DLLs with it at all.

To your questions:

1) There is a tool which comes with VS 6 called Dependency Walker. It shows you what functions a given DLL exports, what it imports from other DLLs and what DLLs it is link to. Woks on EXE files as well.

If you can't get that, download a demo of IDA 5. It's the most powerful disassembler for WM devices out there.

2) Not sure, I never tried anything like that. The thing is, the system resizes the plugins, on initialization (it controls height) and when screen rotation changes so if you pass back HWND for a window other than the one visible, it might cause some problems.

I think what you should do is learn about subclassing. It's when you replace the procedure of an existing window with your own (just replace the function, not create new window). You then get all the messages for that window, you can do what you want and call the original function when you done.

By the way, if you want to learn about writing plugins there is an article with code samples on this site: www.pocketpcdn.com and a lot of other interesting stuff.

Good luck.

I should have been more clear - I am using C++, I'm just have to learn how to program with it first! :)

I don't have the old-plugin source code. My little project is to add some sort of d-pad operation to the WeatherPanel plugin, which you're probably familiar with.

Progress: I've written and deployed my first little plugin - based on the source code samples available in the internet.

Next step: In my InitializeCustomItem, I thought I'd try to call WeatherPanel's InitializeCustomItem (instead of creating my own window). Thing is, I don't yet know how to properly link the WeatherPanel dll to my project. As expected, it only exports two functions: InitializeCustomItem and CustomItemOptionsDlgProc (I used dumpbin.exe)

I'll keep plugging away - any input would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
It's real easy:

Use LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress functions to call functions in other DLLs without linking them.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] storyr:
What a coincidence! My studying led me to the same functions.

From within my plugin's InitializeCustomItem, I was able to successfully load the dll with LoadLibrayl, GepProcAddress of its InitializeCustomeItem (at ordinal 240) and call it. But it whacks the Today screen so that none of the plugins load.

Next I thought I'd try FindWindow and EnumChildWindows to find it and all it's children. Then manipulate them by sending messages...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] storyr:
Update: So far, so good. As it turns out, EnumChildWindows doesn't work on the PPC, so I used GetWindow to find the plugin's handle. I can successfully send messages to it and initiate various actions.

Question: I'd like to visually indicate (on the old-plugin) what's being clicked (such as drawing a box around it). Is it possible to draw things outside of my own window?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
It is, but it's tricky.

You can always use the GetDC function to retrieve the DC for another window and paint on it, but the problem is that unless you subclass the window you have no way of knowing when it repaints it self and all your changes are erased.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] storyr:
I tried that exact thing (GetDC) and drew a rectangle in it, but it didn't do anything. I realized the reason was the WM_Paint event wasn't firing on old-plugin, and when it did, my stuff was erased (just like you said).

Next idea - open my own dialog window than overlays old-plug. The entire window needs to be transparent - except for the visual indicators that I position where I want. When the user ok's, I close the window and send the click to old-plugin...

Thanks again for keeping tabs on my progress..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
No offence, but with all these rather advanced programming tricks you are attempting just to "sup up" an old weather plugin it looks to me like you would be better off just writing the whole thing from scratch.

It you are familiar with WinInet and / or sockets this should be pretty easy and it will look and work much better than the hack you are attempting now.

Plus you can make it exactly the way you like.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] storyr:
:) No offence taken. I thought of that, but I figured this would be a good way to cut my teeth a little. Once I complete this little project, I may pursue that route...

Question: Do you have a favorite forum (or forums) besides this site that you use for your research/programming questions?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
This is my favorite forum:D

But here are couple more sites I found very valuable:

www.pocketpcdn.com - They have tips and tricks with code examples arranged in categories like how to make MFC dialogs not full screen or the one I used in LVMTime to put the clock back on the taskbar.

www.codeproject.com - It's not specific to WM development but has tons of interesting stuff including entire sources.

You should also check out www.buzdev.net If you're not familiar with the great work of buzz_lightyear you should see some of the stuff he did for this forum like grab_it - the invisible ROM dumper.

OT

Just a quick OT question:

If I would move some of the plugin-dll's from \Windows to \Storage Card, would it be enough to change the adress within the corresponding item in the registry entry HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today/Items ?

Of course I'm not talking about plugins like tasks a.s.o but rather third party plugins

Cheers

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
It won't work.

The problem is that the SD card is mounted too late so if you put the plugins on it they will not be loaded when device boots up.

You can move them to the extended ROM this way or to a folder other than windows but there is no way to move start-up stuff to SD.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] storyr:
Finished!

It's finished. The app is called WP-Pilot and it provides one-handed operation of WeatherPanel. If anyone's interested, it can be found here. Here's how it ended up:

There's a plugin (WP-PilotPlugin.dll) with an options dialog, and an executable (WP-Pilot.exe).

When the plugin gets selected, it looks for Weatherpanel. If it finds it, it fires off WP-Pilot.exe

WP-Pilot.exe opens. It does this stuff:

Look for WeatherPanel, and get it's screen coordinates.

Read the registry and determine which layout file WeatherPanel is using.

Open the layout file and read it: Record the coordinates of each "clickable" item found. This was a real PITA because of Unicode.

Sort the coordinates for left-to-right, top-to-bottom order.

Select the first coordinate and position a tiny window (10x10) at that x-y position.

Draw a "pointer" in the window (the type and color depends on what's selected in the options).

Show the window and process input:

[*]Left/right pressed - selected the next/previous coordinate and move the window to that location.

[*]Up/down pressed - close WP-Pilot and tell the plugin we're done.

[*]Center button pushed:

[*]Send a mouse click to the WeatherPanel plugin at the coordinates

[*]Close WP-Pilot and tell the plugin we're done.​

Thanks again for your help!
