Guess they got the message:

Hi,

This Carty here and I’m sending you this email as you're a valued member of the Pocket PC Live community.

A week ago, it was really annoying to see our software Ultimate Theft Alert cracked at some sites which was annoying. Following it, misled by one our technical team member, I was forced to send such a mail which was offensive to some of our Legal users. I sincerely apologize for it.

But if you think in terms of a developer, you’ll know how hard it is to see the software getting cracked. We developers struggle a lot to give the best to the end-users and as a reward you pay us, which in turn encourages us in developing more. We even invest in online servers for registration, marketing, support center and many stuffs like that. So finally when someone cracks it, its really annoying.

We even sell the software to a very lower price, probably lower than a ticket to a movie. Really shame for those who couldn't afford that too. They could have atleast approached me for discounted prices as I remember giving the software as low as $5 to some who requested. Even free to those who helped me in my forums by participating well.

So finally I’m here to say that I’ve dropped the idea of including destroy wares and so you can use our softwares safely. All I request you is to participate in our website and help us expand the community and I will be greatfull to y'all.

Thank you for being the part of our community. We will not spam your inbox. But still if you don't like to receive any mails from us in future, just let me known.

Note: Don't reply to this mail address, instead send to Owner@CartyStudios.com regarding any questions or comments and I’d be glad to help you out.

Have a blessed life!

I guess if they threaten everyone, they will keep the honest "Legal" users, Honest...

"...cracked at some sites which was annoying. Following it, misled by one our technical team member, I was forced to send such a mail which was offensive to some of our Legal users..."

I'm kinda offended by your company approche and policy dealing with your software being cracked. I can understand it can crush egos and effect the bottem line in business..

but attacking your paying clients by accident or not has to be more distructive then the person who out smarted your application. Not supporting the person who cracked you software, just apolled you attacked your loyal customers...

I've never heard of your company or product.. but I know for sure I have no desire to use your products or do business with you company.

someone told me a long time ago.. all the fake Rolex's in the world are free marketing for Rolex. ...

I suppose he means the software author who a got a new one torn for him. I've been following this thread mostly out of morbid curiosity- like watching a traffic accident. It's been most amusing.

I'm just piping up to say two things:

The guy's first language isn't english

his domain whois's to a country far from the US

What does it mean "stupid american"?

okay that was three.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
Well, that was quick.

Two little rants:

1) He makes it sound as if by having a support center and online registration servers he is doing a favor for his customers.

As I work for a small software company I can tell you (hush hush) that both are 'cost of doing business'. Nobody likes to by products without support / warranty or basically a 'home'.

2) Regarding the 'stupid American' remark - lets leave nationality out of this. It is a well known fact that stupidity is universal and on occasion highly contagious.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TechnoTherapist:
Wow... Just... Wow...

I have a few issues with this...

1. The email address is incorrect. Check out the website, the correct email address is Owner@CartyStudios,com

2. Willful destruction of property is illegal, unless done to either save someone's life (including your own), or to make an arrest. You can still be held 'monitarily' responsible in both situations.

3. Grammar? Come on! Granted, according to the website, English is not his native language. (According to some, being from North America [Alabama], English isn't my native language either!) However, running a business, they would at least have someone proof reading material before they posted it or mass mailed it.

Anyway... my two cents worth... but you know what they say about opinions, right?

I'm not sure if I posted this in the right place or not. I can't post in the Development thread right now, since I am a relative noob to posting here.

I rommed my SM-T210R (Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, 7.0", WI-fi only) with NoleKat 1.3.

It works great, but I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for getting S-Voice working.

I downloaded several versions of it

The S5 version I downloaded will crash right upon opening.

The S4 version works, but nothing is picked up on the mic.

The S3 version works for a few moments, then it, too, crashes.

All ideas are welcome.

Never mind...

I found the link to S-Voice in gr8nole's original post. Works great!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jromkes1:
So I think I may have hard (or Soft) bricked my HTC one, I recently installed faux123's sense kernel: m7-faux123-GE444-016u and was experiencing several crashes and problems so I re flashed the elementalx kernel (A past WORKING configuration) following all the same steps I normally do when installing a new kernel (clearing cache and my devlick [Not sure how to spell it])

After re flashing I was experiencing boot issues where my phone wouldn't make it past the "HTC" Splash screen, so I tried several times re flashing ElementalX with different settings, after several tries i decided to restore from a recently made backup of my ROM, which gave me the same results as installing the ElementalX kernel... no ability to boot. Then out of frustration I decided to reformat my entire /sdcard thinking I could re flash my roms and kernels via usb and my laptop... until I went into fast boot... turns out I have ac mode locked (A kernel setting I set awhile back when experimenting) so now my phone is stuck in clockwork mod recovery and I'm unable to make any changes via ADB commands or Fast Boot.

So basically what I'm asking is if my phone is completely screwed over, and if there is any way of removing the AC Charging lock, without flashing a new kernel or booting (Since I did a full SD wipe, all my backups and roms, and kernels are gone) and if I will have to send my phone in to get it repaired:eek:

UPDATE: so I noticed some basic functions of the phone work, pressing the volume up and down keys eventually cause the phone to viberate, as if the phone is vibrating when it goes into silent mode, the backlight turns on and off when the power button is pressed quickly, what is going on, any ideas?? is the phone running properly and i just cant see it??

Final Update: So I got Everything working and I am now able to flash a new rom and everything on my phone... the way it was fixed was by use of the OTG cable, After leaving my phone running a little while The usb Mounted with absolutely no trouble I used the reccommended roms and it installed with no issues, now that I have a running backup I am now going to install the roms I used before all the issues arose, thank you for all your help!! you guys saved me a trip to a repair center, and also spending for a new phone :D:D Cheers!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
ummm lol oops, can you post your fastboot getvar all please, is that even possible ? then we can see if we can find an RUU for you to run through your phone.

EDIT, just saw you cant make any changes via fastboot or adb, my bad, my first question to you is why would you enable an option like that ?, I could suggest you get a USB OTG cable and stick a custom rom on it then plug it into the phone and from recovery flash it, problem is, most custom roms require twrp recovery and you have cwm.

you could send your phone in for repair, but im guessing your bootloader is unlocked and unfortunately, this voids warranty and you'll have to pay for any repairs.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jromkes1:
Thanks for your response! (im a newbie, as you probably already know)

about the Force AC issue: I foolishly enabled it when i was customizing my kernel not knowing that it would give me this much trouble, and the effects it'd give.

if I got a OTG cable would that work? or would it go into AC mode? What if i got the sense venom rom and installed it on CWM? that's what I used before and it worked quite well. i am going to town now to buy a OTG cable ill be back and ill let you know how it goes, I think this may work... Finally a slight gleam of hope for my HTC One :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
that rom will just bootloop, it requires twrp recovery.

you could try and put CM11 on a usb stick, plug the usb stick into one end of the OTG cable (on the go cable) and the other into your phone, boot into cwm and then select install from OTG, I think CM roms require CWM, cant promise anything, but worth a try.

normally you would beable to put stock rom.zip on the otg cable and flash that, but it requires a locked or re-locked bootloader, and that's not going to be possible without a fastboot command.

another option that springs to mind, is put the kernel you originally flashed on the OTG cable, install it in CWM, im guessing the option to enable force AC was enabled during install ? just disable it and continue with the kernel flash, after a reboot you may get fastboot USB, easy to fix once you get that.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
I second the idea of the USB OTG, I use mine all the time.

this Older version of ARHD should work fine with cwm

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
I use mine all the time too, mainly for backup's though, I have a 8gb USB stick pretty much full of backup's :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jromkes1:
OK So i got an OTG cable and now I am preparing to download the required roms and everything onto the USB, the only question i have is if the usb will work with the current (AC only) power settings, or will it not work? *Sigh* this is so frusterating

EDIT: soo... the OTG cable does not work from what it appears, I just cannot figure out a way to mount it with CWM, any ideas?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
only one way to find out, with the phone in the bootloader, plug in the USB OTG cable now and see if it turns to fastboot host ?

if not, don't worry just yet, you'll still need to see if it works in recovery or not.

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

when you select install, does it not give you an option to choose between internal storage and USB OTG ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jromkes1:
no it does not, i went to advanced > mounts and storage > Mount USB Storage and nothing happens aswell

EDIT: Fastboot does not turn into fastboot Host either
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
unfortunately I think its lost, theres only a couple more things you could possibly try, one is to riffbox it, you should beable to get this done at a little back street mobile phone shop or although its not a hard brick, you could try this, not sure if it will work on your device, but if it does it will re-write your partitions.

not OTG just install / external sdcard

reformat the flash drive your using to fat32 copy the rom to it and try again
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jromkes1:
still nothing... but i did find something interesting, when it reboots and it passes the HTC splash screen the screen goes black like it should, but the USB light turns on and it flashes like its supposed to (No Light when in recovery), and also the power buttons turns on and off the backlight, and the volume buttons turns seems to make the mute single vibration when it is pressed down enough times. very strange

:confused::confused:

edit: when doing the unlocking gesture it seems my phone is working! volume presses makes the default beep, holding power buttons makes a quick vibration like when the power menu appears... do you think my phone IS working its just the kernel that is messed up? and is not allowing my screen to function correctly?
[Windows 8 General] devbobby:
Hi everyone,

A friend of mine got a second-hand tablet Samsung 500t from one of her relatives.

She set her password, but she forgot it after a while. She asked me to help her to sort the problem out but I don't know windows RT and I don't know exactly what to do. In addition, we don't have any cd or user's manual. I tried to reset and I launched the procedure which always ended up with this message:

"Insert your windows installation or recovery media to continue".

I don't know what to do now, and, unfortunately, she hasn't got any back up.

Can anyone help me? Thank you.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Is she using a local account or a Microsoft account? If the latter, you can just reset your password the same way you would if you forgot, say, your Hotmail password. Go to https://login.live.com and follow the "forgot password" steps.

If it's a local account, that's more awkward. There are various steps (short of a full wipe) that you can do, but if you don't know the Admin password then most of the non-wipe options require things like Linux liveCD (or live flashdrive) images and forcibly resetting the password.
[Windows 8 General] devbobby:
She is using a local account. We asked her relative, the former owner, about a Microsoft account, but he didn't know and remember anything about that.

Can you explain me more about using a Distro Linux to reset the password on the tablet?

I used a linux live many times, and I can manage it for easy tasks, but I have never used it to reset or to recover a password on a Window OS.

Thank you, Bob.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
If you boot a Linux live image - probably off a flashdrive, unless you have a handy USB optical drive - it can mount the internal NTFS file system and find Security Account Manager (SAM). There are tools that will modify a SAM file to overwrite the password for a user. It's also possible for some tools to brute-force the password, though this can take a long time, or to look it up in a "rainbow table" of pre-computed password hashes (won't work for really complex passwords, though). Forcibly resetting the password will cause you to lose any data encrypted with it, which may include things like passwords the OS was storing for you.

Some stuff that can be used to try and recover passwords (or reset them): http://smallvoid.com/article/winnt-password-recovery.html

There's a bunch of others out there too. Here's another link: http://www.mydigitallife.info/reset...trator-or-user-password-with-chntpw-in-linux/
[Windows 8 General] devbobby:
Can I simply delete the SAM file? I don't think she cares to lose any data so much.

Ok. I was wondering how I can run the usb drive on a windows rt tablet. Is there a "boot device option" like on an ordinary pc/notebook?

Thanks again?:

PS: By the way, where can I find an image of Window 8 rt if I want to totally reset the tablet and install a clear OS?
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Aw crap, I can't believe this but I forgot you were talking about an RT device. Forget everything I just said; Secure Boot won't allow it to run a Linux image even if you had an ARM-based one.

Deleting the entire SAM will render the device unbootable. It's not just user account logon details stored there; every account (including the various system ones) are there. On the other hand, if you can extract the SAM somehow, another computer will be able to edit it just fine even though it comes from RT; it's a registry hive and is architecture-independent.

Total reset is probably the easiest option, if she doesn't mind the risk of losing data. It requires a device-specific image though; there should be one (recovery partition) on the tablet, but if that was removed you'll need to find one for download or get Samsung to handle it for you. The Surface RT / 2 images are available here on XDA but I don't know about any of the Samsung tablets.

Go look on the support website (or call support) for instructions on performing a factory reset of the tablet under normal circumstances. That will work if the recovery partition wasn't removed.
[Windows 8 General] devbobby:
Ok, I understood.

Can I somehow install a Window 8.1 pro x86 on this device? It has got an Intel Atom processor, after all.

I need drivers, though.

Thanks again.
[Windows 8 General] Amax:
Now you say it's a x86 device while earlier it was ARM (Windows RT). Make up your mind, it can't be both!
[Windows 8 General] devbobby:
...hmm actually I'm not sure. The tablet is not mine. I thought it had a Windows Rt OS. But since you say that it can't be an x86 device with an RT OS at same time...I need to find out what it really is. Thanks.
[Windows 8 General] devbobby:
OK

I've finally found out what the OS is?

It's window 8 32bit.

The complete name of the tablet is:

samsung ativ smart xe500t1c-a01it

More, I have it at my home now.

Can we continue the topic?

Thanks
[Windows 8 General] Amax:
Then the methods GoodDayToDie mentioned in post #4 should work
[Windows 8 General] devbobby:
ok

I fixed it by using Lazesoft recovery.

Thanks
[Windows 8 General] noraty18:
Loss Password? All is not loss, even with the fact you can not boot from a USB stick drive with a password reset tool on it. The answer is actually quite simple with local access to the device Windows 8 is installed on. As long as you can get into recovery by using the "hold volume up" and pushing "Power" button method. You then simply picked Advance Recovery Options till you see Command Prompt in the menu and here's the link that'll take you the rest of the way below. What this does is replace Access Tools (for blind, etc) in Login Screen (lower left corner) with a Command Prompt window. Since it's in with the Root C drive, it makes it quite simple to merely change the password right there and be able to use it to log in immediately.

Thought your computer was safe from hackers locally? Think again (can only be run locally though, not remotely), but if you didn't have this option none of the free or pay4 password reset tools would work either. This is what they are actually doing and then they remove the Command Prompt window when done. Just like you will after using this very simple method. Or you need to use

Windows Password Key

to reset Samsung password.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexus93:
Hello,

I just installed this ROM and the battery life is very low, it dropped to 96% in 40 minutes and I only used it for about 2 minutes, other than that it has always been idle.

I lowered the brightness already, shut down all the useless apps and done everything I could do but it's still low and with this rom I can't seem to find a power saving option.

Screen battery usage is 45%, isn't that too much?

Thanks for the help!
