1.04 vs 1.06 vs 1.09

I've been "burning eyelashes" :eek: for the last few days, my Firefox tabs seems like a huge cargo train :D

One thing i never could understand of all the readings i've made is about the functional advantages on the various bootloaders :confused: . Let me explain:

I know 1.04 is the only one that allows radio-only flashes but let's forget all flashing. Let's concentrate on everyday's use.

Does anyone know if 1.06 and 1.09 will make the PDA run better? I mean, if there's a newer ROM that brings bug corrections and new features so i guess that's the same for bootloaders. In this line of thinking 1.09 should do something better than 1.04. If so what is it?

:cool: Why i'm making this question? It's because everyone wants to have the best software version for himself uses, so i don't understand why people improve on ROM's, ExtROM and radios but keep a lower version of the bootloader after flashing. Aren't they missing something using 1.04 instead of 1.09?

I have my TyTN only for a week now and i'm looking forward to do things right by reading all that i need to know. So far this is the question that i haven't seen answered.

Cheers everyone,

Evandro

Well...I'm no expert but I'd imagine that you're venturing down the wrong path. I would venture a guess that many of the bootloader revisions have been made solely to enforce increased security or to attempt to prevent hacking or modding of the underlying OS and Radio ROMs.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sayba:
That was a really great summary and guide. Unfortunately from all the threads and Wikis I have been reading I feel like alot has been changing very fast and I don't fully understand. This guide was great, and I was wondering if the author or anyone else (there are a bunch of guys on here who really know what they are doing) could write an updated (mabey even more detailed/technical) version. I know how to do all the flashing and stuff, but I'm not so confident I know how it's all working, especially the more recent stuff. Mabey including how stuff like the SSPL, hard SPL, mtty, KITL, nbh/nbs, and other more technical methods being used now other than the standard RUUs.

I know almost all of this info is in the forums and the wikis, but it's a little rough to grasp it all when not together. I hope this doesn't upset anyone, I just figured Quentin was gracious enough to do it once mabey he or someone else would want to do it again. If it's too much to ask then just ignore my request. I have been reading the forums for a few months now and think you guys are doing amazing work. You have improved in weeks what it takes MS to build in years and you do it much better. Thank to all and sorry again if I offended anyone by asking this (just really scared to brick my really expensive phone ...lol)

Thanks

Anyone else have this issue, music keeps stopping when playing through the headset, sometimes it could happen after 5 mins, others after an hour, happens in all music and podcast apps, hasn't happened with the FM radio yet though.

hello there,

I have huawei g730-u10

"MTK6582, quadcore cortex A7, 1GB Ram, 4GB Rom"

last week, I was trying to install a CWM recovery using "mobile uncle" app. after it finished , a prompt for restarting appears and I pressed "yes".

it was the last time seeing my phone alive!!! it restarts to huawei logo for about 20 seconds and restarts again and again and again....

unfortunately my device doesn't have a rom online, even on HUAWEI website, so, I downloaded a similar phone ROM "hdc-s5-gold" to use its preloader, cache, boot , etc

the problem is when I connect the phone to SP flashtools the red bar appears and then it holds for seconds and a message with connection loss appears while the phone is going in its infinite restart.. so the flashtools seems to find the phone for a while but fails to write to it thanks to power loss.

notes:

1. I have tried many flashtool versions

2. I have tried with and without battery connection, and with and without volume up holding.

3. the phone can't access to CWM, download mode or factory reset mode.

4. the drivers are installed shows: "MT65xx preloader" and I think there is no driver problem

5. even when I connect the phone to charger, it keeps restarting and the charging logo doesn't appear

I appreciate any help

[General Questions and Answers] melcab:
Hi,

My kids both received Mach Speed Xtreme Tablet 7c as gifts. I found they have problems that I am hoping I can fix with help. Firstly, they do not have Google Play Store on them. We have been using Aptoide and Amazon, but neither app runs very well. I would prefer to have Play Store on it since I am familiar with it from my own devices. Also, they are very slow and they crash often. I get a lot of force closes and a lot of Not Responding. Bad enough that they are hardly touched. Is this just a bad product or can something be done to help? They are apparently already rooted out of the box. I installed a Root Check app that says it is rooted and has Busy Box (I don't know what that is yet, but I'm definitely willing to learn.)

I am slowly learning the terminology involved in rooting and ROM'S but I would really like a nice step by step situation. Does the fact that it is already rooted mean the bootloader is also already unlocked? Or not necessarily? Also I was looking for a recovery, but I couldn't find one for this specific tablet. Which one should I use?

Any information is greatly appreciated. I really don't want these tablets to go to waste if they can be tweaked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aviadarts:
I have a Galaxy Note 2 which was bought in Thailand and I tried to root. The root didn't work because of Knox and none of the solutions given worked, so I decided to flash it back to normal using Odin 3.09 with a rom I found on stockroms(dot) net, now the flash worked, but my phone is on 4.1.1 and I get the error that it can't be updated because it's been modified AND my sim card doesn't work, all I get is "not registered on network" or "network not available", where do I go from here? How do I get the phone back to normal working 4.3 or 4.4 again?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Why did you go back to 4.1.1?? Downgrading if on 4.3 or above is not recommended. All you have to do is Odin an updated firmware for your region to fix.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aviadarts:
I didn't do that on purpose, the stock firmware I found on stockroms just happened to be 4.1.1 and I only found that out once I had flashed it, if you can find the stock 4.3 for Thailand for me that would be great, but I have not found it.

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/n7100xxuen...re-released-galaxy-note-2-how-install-1438467

As far as rooting, pretty sure you just need to install a custom recovery and install the SuperSU zip from Chainfire or there might be an auto root option from Chainfire that you just flash via Odin. Once SuperSU is installed then open the app and it will ask you if you want to try to disable Knox. Also recommend SELinuxmode changer app to set system to partition which will allow stuff like Xposed to work right.

Stock rooted. I've actually got a square trade replacement coming today (this is a claim phone and i've only had it 40 days).

It will charge, but only in the configuration mentioned above. It will not charge when running at all. I think the battery will tell right away if it's not working correctly in the new phone so maybe that will clear it up. I'll advise once I get the new one up and running.

Hello everybody - can anyone help me at this moment. I am right now sitting with my Hermes connected through USB. I was flashing the standard ROM with RUU_HERMES_HTC_WWE_1[1].35.255.2_1.35.255.102_1.08.00.10_SHIP. Unfortunately it stopped at 5% some half an hour ago. I prefer to ask you before disconnecting it.

OK, having no answer I decided to disconnect it and look for an answer. Now I know that I have a 1000 USD brick and no possibility to put it back to work.

I now suspect that the upgrade did not work properly because my device had a CID lock. That is quite strange however, because I bought it on the open market without any commitment to any GSM operator.

I am now stuck on the tricolor bootloader screen with SPL 1,09.

Basing on the post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=285157 - especially on the lines:

"1.09

You can't downgrade to bootloader 1.04 by flashing a Shipped ROM. However imei-check.co.uk is able to downgrade the bootloader.

There was a solution posted on this forum, but it was stolen from imei-check and was removed. If you are not willing to pay you have to wait until another solution is developed.

The RadioROM can't be upgraded. You have to downgrade to bootloader 1.04 to unlock your device.", despite seeing info on the website, I paid to imei-check the 20 pounds.

So far I only lost money, time and nerves trying to downgrade or "repair" my hermes. Nothing works. If anybody has any suggestions please share on the forum or PM me.
