[HTC Sensation] Luz:
Hello,

I used an old HTC HD2 (andoid 4.2 at that time) as my bike computer with the apps "Sports Tracker" and a bike mount (http://www.premiumbikegear.com/biologic/device-mounts/biologic-bike-mount-for-htc-sensation.html), It work well and some time ago, my wife gifted me a bluetooth heart rate monitor. Every things worked fine until my HD2 goes unstable.

I switched to an HTC sensation XE (which is compatible with the bike mount) but every time I switch on the Bluetooth, GPS goes wrong ! Like 60 Km/h while waiting for the traffic lights to go green :eek:

If I switch the Bluetooth off, GPS work like a charm. Same goes with my Bluetooth headset.

It's not a rom issue as the same goes in stock or custom roms.

I used all my google-fu/bing-fu but didn't found anything about this issue.

So, I'm asking you before eventually switching to an old Galaxy SII (which is compatible with my bike mount again :p)

Thank.

Hi,

I have a Galaxy s3 which is constantly synced with my Galaxy Gear 2 and it works fine, however when I get into my car my Parrot CK3200 seems to have trouble connecting to my phone, as soon as I turn off my gear it connects fine. Can my phone only connect to one device at a time?
[Samsung Gear 2] dansafe:
Galaxy S3 BT 4.0 ?
[Samsung Gear 2] dbeckett:
Yes, using an s3 running android 4.3 which has BLE built in, I presume it must just be a bug with my s3, ie both my handsfree and gear should be able to connect to my phone simultaneously?

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DikkieGalaxy:
A colleague of mine tried to flash his T535 with a stock rom from sammobile but bricked it in the process.

While doing this he got this message from odin:

<ID:0/008> hidden.img.ext4

<ID:0/008> FAIL!(Size)

Searching forums like this got me to the conclusion that I need to flash it again with the PDA and the PIT file, but I could be wrong.

I cannot find the PIT file anywhere, does someone know where to find them?

Would this solve the problem or do you guys have any other tips?

Thanks in advance!

Hi

Forgive me if this is the wrong forum (move if needed)

First time messing with Android OS/ROM

I have a Sony Xperia Go (ST27i with Android 4.1.2)

I aiming to deploy the latest kitkat ROM for this phone (http://xdaforums.com/xperia-u/go-development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-xperia-t2776873)

Have installed factory default, unlocked and rooted it. + made backup with NanDroid

Enabled Developer setting and USB debugging

FastBoot shows device and has access

I just can't figure out how to boot into Recovery mode and menu

Tried every possible key combination and duration while booting (or so I think)

Also tried QuickBoot, but "Recovery" button just reboots phone

Same with adb reboot recovery, it just reboots phone

What to do?

Needed to flash Custom Recovery first. That did it
[Acer Iconia A500] ssvNormandy:
hi all and thanks for your help in advance...

i have been assigned an a500 which is bricked and only shows the acer logo and nothing goes on from there

i have tried multiple roms along with custom roms as an update.zip into an SD card but it stops at the same position which is about 30% everytime on every rom

ive tried fastboot, says the BL is locked and when i tell it to unlock it it just says OKAY and stays locked

now blackthund3r with his apx flashing tool presented some hope as it detected the apx mode but after the flashing starts it wont go into bootloader mode the screen is just black

i have attached a screenshot of my pc trying to identify the tablet with apx not installed for no driver is found

i have installed every driver i can put my hands on starting with the latest from Acer drivers and none of them seems to give me the apx driver.

i think the only problem i have is the apx driver, can anyone point me in the right direction? ive got my SBK from afterota only one time and it never worked after that time. can anyone help with the drivers?

#edit:

i forgot to mention that even though it says apx is not installed, when i connect it in apx mode i have a little usb icon which says "eject APX" call me crazy but that just says apx IS installed right?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Generally, the APX (boot recovery download) driver should be installed with just the normal Acer drivers from the web site. On a Win8 pc, it can be a real pain, so if you have a Win7 pc, I would advise it. I suppose you are looking in Windows "Device Manager"?

Not sure about the "eject APX" message. Sounds strange to me, but maybe it says that on an XP PC, been to long to remember.

Stock Acer bootloader has no "Fastboot" capability. This was added after ICS with a patched bootloader.

Either way, you will need your CPUID number to use any of the NVFlash tools. There are stickies on how to get this, but more than likely you will need a Linux set-up, not sure if there's a windows method.

If the tab had been rooted, and a custom recovery added, there's a possibility there was a backup done, and it would be in the Clockwork Mod folder on externalSD card.
[Acer Iconia A500] ssvNormandy:
9918

I am running win7 x64 and the apx drivers seem to be installed as blackthund3r recognizes it, its just that in blackthund3r apx tool it never seems to want to get into the bootloader mode i have no idea why.

also regarding my CPUID when i used afterota it showed me :

Tablet Serial	: 485FEFA483118011

Tablet Cpuid	: EMULATOR-5554

Tablet Sbk	: 0xF5030000 0x00000000 0xF0D1E302 0xF0D1E302

Android Build	: GT-N7000-user

Bootloader	: 0.03.01-HC

now isnt the CPUID a 15-16 digit hex number?

and if my CPUID is wrong in this case above it should mean my SBK is wrong aswell right?

the build number is of a galaxy Note device which is also strange.

also, the device came with no SD card and it has not been rooted or a custom recovery installed on it, the owner says "it just died"

I had the Linux idea in mind as a last resort i suppose its time.

thank you for your help :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Oh man, Somebody must have tried installing a Galaxy Note Rom? Got me a little confused on just exactly what you have there mate.

The CPUID as you stated, should be an alpha numeric sequence such as for example (mine)038061c7409fa617.

Why it's telling you it's Emulator-5554 is quite strange. Tell me, how exactly did you get this CPUID? As if the tablet won't boot past the bootloader (Acer screen), then the usual discovery tools we have, can't get it, and this I can promise. I'm guessing it's just spitting out some programming error.

And, I can also say your SBK number is suspect also. Looks weird. Here is mine (no, won't work on yours) 0x79531F00 0xBB680C01 0xFB22E803 0x8ADE2003

I would suggest the following;

There's a user here, dibb_nz, and he has some links on unbricking. Currently he is abroad, so won't answer PM. Also, there is a thread "Why CPUID is Important (might be the same things). In there, are some steps on how to get the number from a dead tablet. No, I've never personally had to do this, but other folks have. I know there's steps from Linux, but believe there may also be windows steps as well.

Another good link from Linux (you can run I dual boot, as I do) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1751978 This should be easy to follow, and probably best chance at getting it.

Another good thread from Dibb_nz http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2049778 Has several unbrick procedures.

I have several factory Roms here on my server. I try getting one whenever I come across them. Acer in all of their infinate wisdom, have shut down their OTA servers for quite some time, and also, they add and delete factory Roms from their official support site all the time.

If I can help you, I will. Some things may be out of my control, but will help as much as possible. We have some pretty good folks here in the 500 forums, but the tablet is getting a bit old, and most have moved on to somehing newer.

[Acer Iconia A500] ssvNormandy:
I got my CPUID from afterota "no idea how but it just worked for one time, and later yesterday worked again".

when i try "adb devices" it just shows nothing, while yesterday also i tried the same command and it returned with EMULATOR-5554 as a device connected and i could get in the shell but could do nothing from there...

i have seen those posts before they have been helpful but as far as using "a500 manager tool" to recover my CPUID, the tool hasent worked.

anyways i suspect the only way of getting my CPUID is through a linux distribution,and from there i can stumble around with nvflash from there or go back to windows. As I dont have any linux expertise it would be a good experience.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Use Ubuntu for the linux distro. It's by far the most common. Basically you can install it 2 ways.

1) As a dual boot (might have to disable a BIOS setting if your PC is pretty new. Usually only if it was a Win8 new system) Benefit is that the Linux OS will get 100% system resources. Downside is that it'll partition your HDD.

2) Run it under cygwin. Basically an emulator which runs within windows, and you create a virtual drive for the Linux install. The benefit is that you can uninstall it rather easily when finished. Downside is it shares Windows resources.

If you're only after the UID, then probably the cygwin method is better for you.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] ssvNormandy:
i've never heard of cygwin, i was thinking virtual machine but i was slacking due to the work it needs doing and my impatience... i must ask if afterota is showing EMULATOR-5554 and i managed to get it in adb mode and it still showed EMULATOR-5554 do you think its even recoverable in ubuntu?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Well, being in the 500 forums, and owning a 501, I can say these tablets are pretty much bulletproof. I've never known one that can't be unbricked. Basically, if it has some life, it can be brought back. Mine blew away the bootloader, hard bricked. Took out the mainboard, slapped it in the oven, reseated some nand chips, and it updated the blob file when I booted it. :eek::good: imagine that!

It's still a little flakey running EUUS files, but it's on 3.2.1 and rooted, so I will leave it on that rather than press the issue any further. Besides, it's only used for You Tube and Browser anyhow.

I would say the Linux method will probably reveal the true CPUID. Afterota seems like it's generating some development code. Like I said, none of those tools will work properly unless the tablet OS is running, so who knows what strange things will happen.

I've never used VM, but it should also boot ubuntu.

This chap just got his CPUID today using a Linux distro.

[Acer Iconia A500] ssvNormandy:
:eek: the oven? im confused what reflowing the solder has to do with anything lol and i hope im not going to that stage haha

im downloading ubuntu now as we speak, im hoping it will work but im confused about the libraries that i need to download, GCC and the other ones, are they something special and special installation required? or sniffing around google would do the trick?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Well, normally after you get an ubuntu install, you can download extra packages. Terminal for one. I'm sure the Ubuntu help center tells you how to get certain packages (lib's and such). Basically you do it via a terminal window. Like I said, I've never used that particular procedure myself, but seems some others got it figured out.

Ha Ha... the oven. Yes, I was skeptical to say the least, but thinking back on rice to dry out a phone, putting a dead HDD in the freezer, well, it seemed plausible. And for me, the oven trick worked. Pressed all the nands back into place, and was able to clear the "Blob update failed" error (was stuck with no working bootloader, hence a hard brick). I attribute it to my 2.5yrs old girl dropping the tab once too often (although was in a good cover).
[Acer Iconia A500] ssvNormandy:
well i have good news and bad news...

i got Ubuntu and i was succeful in retrieving my CPUID and after that my SBK, blackthund3r a500 tool worked and it got into " entering acer download mode" as in it booted in bootloader mode which is very good, but now when i flash something it is stuck at "stage two-uploading image" and the nvflash command screen is stuck at "resume mode".... well great, now what? lol
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Eh, ok, you got the CPUID. Hang on and I'll give you a link for Timmy Deans 3.2.1 rollback.... Sounds like you got a corrupt partition.

OK, download and unzip the contents.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/fo4wqjeald4s3rj/tdv4_rollback_rom.7z

Now, in the contents, you will see the file pbj20upgrage.exe

Run it as "administrator" (right mouse click it and select run as administrator)

Now, don't plug in the tab. After it does a couple things, (installs drivers, starts looking for current build it will eventually prompt you to start your tab in APX mode. Do it. Then connect, enter your CPUID when asked, and it will NVFlash a complete pre-rooted 3.2.1 with CWM Recovery.
[Acer Iconia A500] ssvNormandy:
well well well, it worked and its perfect now. thank you very much for your help MD pbj20upgrade was the answer, now off to install ICS :D

thank you again :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Great!

Now, just remember, when you install one of the full ICS Update files (I have a thread stickied in one of these forums), it will change the bootloader, and also do away with the CWM custom recovery. A custom ICS ROM will not run on an HC 3.2.1 bootloader. This is why we had the Blackthunder tool and patched V8 bootloader. Just so you are aware.

Good luck!

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] ssvNormandy:
blackthunder's tool just WILL NOT RUN on the tab its always stuck on nvflash resume mode, and uploading image, even after i got the tab back to life i have no idea why, and everytime i try to flash the v8 or even v9 BL it just freezes and i get the acer splash screen again, and then i have to rollback again.

is there any detailed tut on installing ics with the correct steps ? it would be much appreciated, HC wont run any recent app and its ticking me
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Welcome to the world of corrupted nand memory.

You can try running "babsector" and see if it will NVFLASH repaired partitions.

If you're having problems regarding how quick COM/USB port changes, please read my solution on post 4

Story.

I bought this phone last week and he came with android 4.2.2

After 2 hours i was able to get the 4.4.2 rooted but then...

...i just installed s.th that i can´t remember that cracks my boot.img

The this is that 4.2.2 version had the bootloader cracked but the 4.4.2 hasn't. That means i can't push anything to solve my .img issue.

After a few searches i reach to htcmania witch they have 2 possible solutions for my problem. Here's the 1st and here's the 2nd.

Now.

After i spend to much time trying to install the drivers correctly (initially without success) my phone just died. I lost Lenovo logo and ended up with just a red light blinking. Witch i though...F&%K!!!

If there's anyone who ended up like me, here's the solution for a pseudo-dead-phone:

remove your battery disconecting the cable inside the phone

plug the phone into a PC through a usb cable

insert your battery back

voilá. phone back alive

Now that i was able to get lenovo logo back again...

... i need your help (Lenovo K910 fans or someone with a great idea :D )to understand something that's has been cracking my head.

How the hell should i put this in download mode?!

I mean. Each time i plug the usb cable into PC with the volume up pressed, the device manager was able to reach Lenovo_blabla_2008 (witch seams to be the correct port so that my phone communicate with PC) but after a brief moment it changes to lenovo_composite_adb_interface (and this one doesn't work).

Now the question itself:

When should i press and where to stop that happening?! Because when i start the phone with those keys combination the phone restarts twice and not just one.

Here is a picture with my phone in download mode.

I quickly press the download button but then the just just restarts and i loose the download mode :(

GRRRRR!!!!!!
