updates really aren't that big of a deal... By the time they have a good update we should have plenty of tar files to flash back to stock if you want the update. Either that or give it a few days and you can usually just odin the tar of the new release...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gmenik6:
Samsung KNOX?.....I remember there is a time AMD is very popular and very demanding not because its better than INTEL proc. Computer enthusiast go for AMD it's not because it is cheaper, its because they feel the freedom of doing something to enjoy, to explore, to over clock to the extent. Then Intel decided to sell unlock proccessor, and suddently intel market change. My point is not all people buy phone just to call and recieve call. they want to explore and have freedom to enjoy it to the extent, unlock it, put custom rom and develop. I feel they start taking away this freedom we had, as Doc say "Leaving Samsung won't get you away from Knox anymore. Google is going to begin using it in ALL android builds. Probably starting with Android"L". I know there's a lot of knowledgeable people on XDA who is enjoying and itching to break this barrel. We have to wait for this hope, i have faith.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KennyG123:
You do realize that the inclusion of Knox has nothing to do with trying to prevent rooting. It is security to prevent criminal hackers from getting all your banking and personal information off of your phone. Knox to date has also not prevented rooting. Even the phones with locked bootloaders and Knox have achieved root. The locked bootloaders are what prevent certain phone models from flashing non-stock based ROMs. If you do use your phone for more than calls and text then you should be happy they are trying to make them more secure for those uses. Will Knox slow down development....a little...as work arounds to the secure kernels and constant checks will take more time to get all the bugs out. Bottom line though is to stay away from carriers that lock bootloaders...that is the message you want to send. Push for them to offer unlock solutions the way HTC does for the 1% of community that is on XDA. Remember...security is meant for the 99% of phone buyers that know nothing about XDA or root...and for corporate and military contract sales.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] murayoshi:
just everybody knows, I don't think knox will not secure you phone from criminals. if not thousand hundred of people selling their phone everyday knowing factory reset and taking out sdcard will not leaved a trace, it's not true...I know you know that. And what I believed company protect their interest before consumer.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KennyG123:
We are talking about criminals hacking your phone while you still possess it. Perhaps you are not aware of all the hacking and identity theft that has gone on in Android over the past years. Exploits would be forced onto your phone giving hackers access to much of your phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
And in reality, if used as intended, Knox can protect the data stored in its containers. It is encrypted to DoD standards and if any tampering is detected it breaks access to those containers. Sure, any encryption can be broken, but it would take a very talented and determined hacker to first regain access and then break that encryption. It may not prevent hardcore industrial espionage, but it certainly will protect a lot of sensitive info from bring had by most identity thieves or from being inadvertently released to the general public.

Knox was never intended to secure the average users data. Its intended for use by security professionals in an Enterprise environment.

There are plenty of solutions already out there for people to protect themselves with, most simply just elect to not use it. Number 1 IMO would be simple common sense! Unfortunately, many replace this with ignorance and end up paying for it with increasing frequency.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Shack70:
I work for DVD, that made me chuckle... If you guys only knew how incompetent the IT department is. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Im assuming you meant DoD, right? And yeah....contractors....lol!

No offense to those who really do try and really do care, but man, it does seem like so many are just along for the government ride!

[General Questions and Answers] Morango:
Hi, i´m testing this rom for 1 week, everything works fine, except, in some occasions the phone reboot´s itself.

In this evening, it has reboot 3 times.

Someone that have the same problem?
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
this is a common problem no matter what rom you are on (some more common than others).

it almost always is a problem(s) in the code, and needs to be fixed by the developer.
[General Questions and Answers] Morango:
Ok, thank you. 3 days has passed and by now, no random reboots happened.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
yea, it is random some times. can happen a lot, then not for days.

you have to watch the "up time" in settings/about phone, i have had it reboot while i was sleeping before and didnt know it.

if you can make it past a week with out a reboot, thats really good for a custom rom. most i have made it was almost 300hrs.
[General Questions and Answers] Morango:
Ok, thanks for the advice. I will do it that way to get it under control.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] zachmalott333:
Hello all, I recently rooted my HTC One M8 from T-Mobile and flashed a GPE ROM with TWRM recovery. Everything was successful, no big deal at all. I decided a little awhile ago that I would like to get the factory updates, so I decided to install the original GPE recovery. I installed the recovery file "recoverygpe.img" through ABD and FASTBOOT. All was successful, rebooted my phone and decided to install the updates OTA and when my phone went to reboot it and install the updates the screen went black and the little android icon popped up with a red triangle over his stomach. Now my phone won't load past the HTC powered by android screen and my ABD and FASTBOOT won't work at all. I feel helpless probably shouldn't have attempted doing this. BTW I'm using a Mac. If I need to run over my phone and get a new one I will.

[LG Optimus G Pro] Il Palazzo:
Hi all (sorry for my English)!

I bricked my E986 phone while I was attempting to flash a KDZ file on it. The LG Mobile Support Tool stuck at 95%, leaving my phone in a deep brick status.

The internal partition scheme should be messed up (hence the hard brick), so it can be reflashed only using the QPST tool.

I don't want to use jtag and I'd prefer not to send it to LG... it's my main smartphone and I'd like to fix it in time for my summer holidays.

Has anyone got the necessary files to restore the low-level data that allow the phone to be recognized again by the LG Mobile Support Tool?

I think that I need these files:

- MPRG8064.hex (or the specific similar file for the Snapdragon 600 CPU)

- 8064_msimage.mbn (it should contain the partition scheme)

- g_emmc.img (i found only the F240 version of this file)

I think that there's also a way to get all those files from a working phone... any help will be appreciated.

Thank you!!!
[LG Optimus G Pro] luisoman2000:
Sorry to say that so far jtag is the only way to fix that kind of brick. I've seen it on the OG forums too and so far nobody has been able to fix it.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Il Palazzo:
But I saw a tutorial for the optimus G (not the 'Pro' model) in chinese that should solve the problem, with the right files... Do you mean that there are no files available on the net? Or you're just saying that there isn't a suitable method at all?

Since I don't want to disassemble the phone, I think that I will send it to LG if there is no solution left.
[LG Optimus G Pro] luisoman2000:
I havent seen anyone manage to revive a phone with that issue without the use of jtag.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Antigen:
I had the same problem and have sent in for repairs to LG. They have repaired the phone without asking a single question.

But that was within 1 year manufacturer's warranty..

PS I have sent it to JTAG (RIFF box) repair service before that and they were NOT able to repair it.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ricanares:
Not sure if you were able to fix your problem. I also had the QSHUSB_DLOAD. My phone (E980) was fully bricked. Would not turn on no matter what I did. After 2 days of no sleep and lots of reading and testing...I was able to get my phone back and it is now fully working. I wrote a tutorial here on xda. Here is the link http://xdaforums.com/optimus-g-pro/help/fix-hard-bricked-e980-t2829684 Hope this helps.

I personally want to use my pattern password lock, but be able to to quick access camera. Since upgrading to 4.4 I haven't found any apps or mods that let me doit on root stock till now.

You'll need to be rooted first.

Install Xposed (you are on rooted stock, you do have this installed right? riiight?)

Combining these two mods got the camera access working.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mohgdeisat:
Hi,

I am trying to create some kind of a viewer that can view files in different formats like:

Text(ASCII), Text(UNICODE),Bin, Hex, Oct.

the last two require dealing with bits, (3bits --> 1 oct), (4bits-->1 hex), so what is the fastest way to do this? I need to boost performance

Thanks

Mohammad
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
Well, I am not sure about octal, but there is nothing easier or more "user friendly" than hex.

For example:

CString msg;
BYTE arrayOfByte[3];

msg.Format(_T("0x%02x 0x%02x 0x%02x"), arrayOfByte[0], arrayOfByte[1], arrayOfByte[2]);

MessageBox(msg, _T("Hex string"));

There are several operators in C++ language to deal with bits. For one thing you can use masks and binary operators to determine values of individual bits.

Any programming book will have a whole chapter dedicated to bit operations.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mohgdeisat:
Yes friend,

I know the basics of bitwise operators, I have been programming C++ for more than 5 years, but I just wonder if there is someway that is significantly faster than the usual way :)

Thanks

MMS Proxy Port

... it's like where are the rest??? (MCC, MCN, Authentication Type, APN Type)

Hi

My phone lumia 930 so windows 8.1

I have seen on US market is Putty, unfortunately cannot download it because stay in uk

I tried to change region for US in phone but doesn't work

Anyone have idea how to install apps from other country app store or know working ssh client which will connect with my qnap nas server?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
There's lots of WP SSH clients. I haven't tested them all on 8.1, but they should work. Have you considered just checking the store for "ssh"?

The one I use is called "The SSH Client". The free version works quite well, although there's a paid version with more features.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wojtas29:
Yeah, there is few of them and some working but in lan only.

If I'm trying get connected from outside my lan will revive only : This port is not supported by ssh.

Port is properly redirected but different as standard.

Any way it shouldn't be a problem I have putty on my windows rt and connecting without any problems.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VSparxx:
Well if you're familiar with SSH then you must of heard about PUTTY , so i'm happy to inform you that there is a working WP8 version of PUTTY, for now it's in closed beta, but you can be part of it, just be sure to drop the developer an email( the default MS account on the device ) for beta access at putty@nogsnet.com

Can confirm eventhou it's still in beta it's working like a charm.

PROOF : PUTTY
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Any decent SSH client, including the one I recommended, supports custom ports... but hey, that PuTTY looks pretty good too!
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VSparxx:
Well it's more than an ssh client, it supports also raw, telnet and rlogin connection types.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noggin182:
Indeed it is. I'm the developer behind the PuTTY port, glad to see it getting some love. Tunnelling is supported in the latest version but still has a few bugs to iron out and I am also working on support for serial over bluetooth too

Hi...great to see some input from the dev., I'm an system admin and rely heavily on your app. so thank you for bringing this awesome tool to WP.

Also maybe it's time to make the app public, as I don't have any problems with it, so general everyone should be fine with it.

Many thanks again.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noggin182:
Yup, there are a few things that need sorting out. For some people it occasionally crashes when they connect and it's related to loading the sound files used for the system beep and the keyboard clicks. I've not been able to get to the bottom of that yet but the next minor update has some improved crash reporting which should help.

There is also a few people experiencing some problems whilst tunnelling.

I can't reproduce either of this bugs though in the emulator or any of my phones. Once they're sorted though I should be taking it public
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VSparxx:
Neither of those affected me, maybe poor net signal is the culprit of tunnelling errors.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nischal31:
Can I really view internal system files using SHSH client on WP? I own Lumia 920.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
No, you would need an SSH *server* for that. I don't have one of those (although it should be possible to write or port one), but an FTP / Telnet server is pretty easy.

Alternatively, you can use the Webserver app in my signature.

Note that in either case, this will let you browse only small parts of the file system (the Windows directory and the application's own directories). The AllCapabilities version of the webserver has more access (it can see other apps, your documents and media folders, OEM folders, and the entire SD card), but is still restricted. You need capability-unlock (usually means a Samsung phone) to install the AppCaps version of the app.

Hi there, first time I write here and I probably have a lot to learn

However, a few days ago I accidently dropped by Galaxu SIII from my balcony. As a result both the screen and the touch is broken, the rest seems to work. So, of course I can connect the phone to my computer and gain access to those folders that are always monuted. However I wan't to get access to all files, like I did on the phone after I rooted it. It looks like USB debugging is off even though I was sure it was on, ADB refuses to see the phone anyway. I have tried many ideas, including remote connection to the phone, but all soloutions require to either enable USB debugging or open an app and that is exactly what I cannot do! So what can I do besides getting a new screen, which I don't want since I've already brought a new phone. Mostly I want to save my contacts and I cannot to that with Samsung KIES since I have CM11 on the phone. I really can't find any solution and I really hope somebody out there can help me!:)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
You could try nandroid backup from recovery, maybe using an otg for watching what your're doing on a separate screen.

When all data is nandroided, you can try going trough the backup (the data section specially).

If the backup has several parts (ie, a b c d… ) you can "merge" them into a single file that could be opened with 7zip or winrar. Just open a DOS command prompt and:

type data.ext4.tar.a data.ext4.tar.b >> data.ext4.tar

Thats the example for 2 parts a and b.Then, after unpacking the tar, you could look into the data to get stuff. For example…

Sms & mms:

data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases

Contacts:

data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases

And a lot of other stuff. Note that you need something to read-edit ".db" files, like an sqlite editor.

Alternatively, if you're using a similar phone, with same manufacturer, a close android version (for example not gb 2.3 vs kk 4.4, but yes jb 4.1 vs jb 4.3), etc, then you could copy such addresses and paste them inside your new phone (crossing fingers and any other crossable bodypart) and you might get all that stuff back.

Good luck.

Put a blank SD (formatted as FAT32 or exFat) on the phone. It must be sized as the phone's internal memory size (16 or 32GB)

Set the phone in download mode. Flash Phil'z recovery with Odin.

Start the phone in recovery mode. Connect usb to computer and after 10-15 seconds ADB will be enabled.

/data is mounted by default (internal SD is stored inside /data).

Now mount the external SD:

enter adb shell and put:

mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /external_sd

If any error appear, stop.

If nothing appeared, check that it was sucessfully mounted. Ensure that mmcblk0p12 and mmcblk1p1 are mounted as this!

mount

rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 on /cache type ext4 (rw,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,data=ordered)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 on /data type ext4 (rw,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,data=ordered)
/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 on /external_sd type exfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0000,dmask=0000,allow_utime=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro)

Now copy all the internal storage to the external SD:

mkdir /external_sd/intData; cd /data; tar cf - * | ( cd /external_sd/intData; tar xf -)

Take a breath and come 15 minutes later to see if it finished. It may take more if the device was nearly full.

After it comes back to shell (you see the # symbol again) it means it's over.

Now let's flush the filesystems and unmount the partitions :

cd /; sync; umount /external_sd; umount /data

Remove the battery and the sd card.

Put the SD on your computer...done!

- The internal SD is stored on /data/media.

- The app data is on /data/data.

- The apps are on /data/app

- Your contacts are stored on /data/data/databases/com.android.providers.contacts/contacts2.db.

Putting that DB file on the same place of other Android phone and rebooting after will restore your contacts. Or you can convert them to VCF:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/445997/how-to-convert-androids-contacts2-db-to-vcf
