[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] PJMOR:
A couple of weeks ago, I started to mess around with the build.prop file in my LG e430. Things turned bad once I change the api (or sdk) from 16 to 19. Nearly every single app became unresponsive, so I managed to change it back to 16 with es file explorer. I rebooted my phone, and things seemed to go back to normal. Strangely, I seemed to have lost root, so I try to root it again, first with Framaroot, then with other programs on a pc. Every single time it said that it was a success, but my phone did not get rooted. So I told myself, "Maybe the binary is installed but there is a problem with installing Super SU?". I installed super su, but it detected no binary. I tried with other superusers, but with no luck. I then decided to install it before performing the rooting process with framaroot and other programs. Same result as the last. What went wrong? Now I realize that some apps (like aptoide or clean master) derect that I have root, but then can't use it. What's weird is that the build.prop is back to its original state, like it came out of the factory. I can no longer view it or edit it, as I no longer have root. Can anyone help me with getting my phone back to a working root condition? Flashing the stock rom is the last thing I want to do. Thanks.

is there a way to add more features at the sview? i saw the note 3 it has many features but the s5 has only a few. can we make the sview window more useful at our s5?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebdigital:
Do you have examples of some note 3 sview features that we haven't on our S5?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sp0r0s:
as an example music controls and note taking. but aside from that i was thinking for more options like reading sms, controling some widgets etc
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russ18uk:
I have music control features on the S-View. Maybe PowerAMP feature but I have previous, play/pause, forward controls.

I get what you mean, though: more mods/customised layouts would be great.

Hello guys,

my Japanese girlfriend bought a X01HT with the intention to use it abroad (after the unlock patch), but after using the device for some time, she is not very happy with it and gave it over to me (^^)/

Well, as I have no use of it, I would like to know if anybody here is interested in buying it.

We got the device beginning of November, so it does not have the limitations of the after 2nd December devices.

The imei-patcher was applied, so you can use every Sim Card with it.

Also I flashed the Cingular 1.34 English ROM on the device, so everything is in English.

The device looks like new and has no technical problems.

So is anybody interested ?

If so, you can PM me.

Ah, currently I am in Tokyo, so I would prefer someone from here. Of course we can meet and you can have a look on everything before the deal !

I have rooted my NST with NookManager, but i had problems with Aldiko and another apps and finally I use FBReader, it`s good and useful. The problem is, when I send a ebook to my NST, the app does not recognizes the internal fonts of the ebook, but the style of the ebook still. I want to know how I can use the fonts who come with the ebook.I want use the publisher defaults of a ebook. For Example, Harry Potter books use 2 differents fonts and bring with his own default publisher.

The fonts is not essentials to read, but... It´s a thing in the default reader takes andvantage.

[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] NOOK!E:
So...

What, in clear words, is it that you want?

:p
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] kurono93:
Thanks for your answer. I want the default publisher format when i am reading in my NST but with FBReader.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] NOOK!E:
Hmmm. It's a good idea, but truth be told, I don't think it's possible. Unless, of course, someone took your APK and edited the file itself, I don't think there's another way to do it.

And that type of .apk editing is a bit beyond my league, in case you were wondering. I can do icons, but still have yet to learn how to edit how the apps actually work. :laugh:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arbyn:
So I somehow soft bricked my SGS4, think I unistalled something I shouldn't have with Titanuim backup. Contacted T-mobile and am receiving a new phone under my warranty for just the 5 dollar processing fee. Knowing I was getting another phone I figured I'd try to fix the one I had. Went into download mode and fixed it. What do I do now ? I don't want to be billed for the whole phone price. Also a known issue before the soft brick was my sd card wasn't being recognized. So even though my old phone is technically fixed from the issue I reported to get the replacement, the sd card still isn't functioning so it's still broke essentially.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
I'm having trouble seeing the issue here...? The SD card wasn't being read, you soft bricked it messing around, ordered a new phone, fixed the 1st phone's soft brick and the SD card still isn't being read. So if that is right, then what is the problem with returning the first phone since it was not working properly?

Hey all.

I have a N7100, a Note 2.

My problem is that when I press the power button to turn on the phone...he just stay stuck at the Welcome logo of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

I tried to go into recovery mode and it doesn't work, he just doesn't go into recovery mode.

I tried to go into download mode and it works.

So I downloaded Odin, installed the Samsung drivers.

Then I downloaded my phone's firmware and flashed it with Odin..and it still doesn't work.

The phone still remain stuck at the Welcome logo..

What I can do? If I take the phone for the guaranty it will take like a month..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asin_punk:
What firmware is your phone before it got stuck into boot logo? And what version of firmware did you download and upload to your phone?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tribbiani7:
It's my uncle phone's... I don't know what firmware was before. The one I downloaded is the 4.4.2
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asin_punk:
After you flashed 4.4.2, can you access recovery? If yes, try to wipe cache then try to boot again.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tribbiani7:
Nope, I already tried.. It's the same it was before.

Can't enter recovery mode, only download mode.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] TKerrygan:
Hello everyone. First post here, although from time to time I take a look here to see what's going on.

Is now a week without phone. I searched many forums, and Googled a lot, but no luck.

The phone is a Motorola Razr GSM (umts_spyder), XT910. It had installed Safestrap, I don't remember the version.

I tried some roms from time to time, installing them through the Safestrap.

The last one was SlimKat (4.4). I wanted to go back to MIUI V5, which was the one that I liked most of which I had proved, but the Safestrap tell me that the rom can't be installed due to space issues. Then I thought that I should delete some files.

Okey, that's when I make the mistake. Using the Safestrap built in File Manager, I deleted some folders that I thought are not essential. I thought they were remnants of application installations folders and stuff.

And after that, I rebooted the phone, and never woke.

I read guides on installation through fastboot. I can boot the phone in recovery, using -it seems- a factory recovery.

I have already the drivers for my phone from Motorola.

I tried RSD, Odin, and another script and stuff that I found on the web.

All the metods fails at the cdt.bin copy.

According to what I was reading after that, one cannot install an older version of Android from which it was last installed using fastboot.

Is this true?

If so, that means that I need to install a 4.4 fastboot rom on my phone? I can't find any.

Okey, that is the story.

Any advice will be appreciated. Due to my negligence and inexperience, my phone is now a cute ornament.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Best regards,

Francisco.

Look for a jellybean stock rom for your phone depending on where you got it like us, uk, etc in the development thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2231289

flash it using rsdlite......then root it and install safestrap again. This will wipe your internal memory card though
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TKerrygan:
Tx for the reply, david. I read that thread, yes, but seems that I need a Kit Kat fastboot rom, not a Jelly Bean one. When I try to flash one of that, the cdt.bin copy issue appears.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
Kitkat fastboot rom doesn't exist,the last official rom for our phones is JB.

Sent from my Razr XT910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TKerrygan:
Tx for the answer. Well, that is a problem. Is there a way to install a JB fastboot when my last Android was KK?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
All KK roms coming with custom (kexec) kernel so that's not the issue.

Try to flash some other JB fastboot file,for different contry.

Sent from my Razr XT910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TKerrygan:
Ok, I'll try. Are you sure that the cdt.bin file is not a problem with the JB/KK issue?

Anyways I'll try other countries. Tx.

Hey Guys and Gals:)

With the possibility of a leaked WP8 Stock ROM, i thought it best to open one discussion thread on the subject.

Feel free to discuss the possibility of dual booting or just the general porting of the ROM. This could be ground breaking stuff, brings back the old HD2 days:cool:

Remember, patience guys! Great things can take time:angel:
[One (M8) General] the_scotsman:
Thanks OG, hopefully this thread will encourage discussion and possible development of a port. I for one would LOVE to see WP8 come to our device! :good:

If anyone hasn't seen it, there's an RUU posted from a Chinese site: http://xdaforums.com/one-m8-windows/development/official-ruu-m8-windows-phone-verizon-t2865351

it's unconfirmed at this stage, but we need to nerds to jump in there and start poking around :highfive:

But I am rooting for you guys! I hope you figure it out. Options are always great! ?

[One (M8) General] SocksNUrToaster:

[One (M8) General] schollianmj:
I want it just to play with. doubt I run it as a daily but it would be fun to be able to load it and play around a little bit with it.
[One (M8) General] ivicask:
I'm more interested in getting "real" Windows running on it (Windows RT) than actual windows phone :)
[One (M8) General] ext109:
Trust me winRT is no better, maybe even worse. It has less apps than Windows Phone and can't run .exe files or apps for full Windows 8. I have a surface RT but Word and Internet explorer are basically its only functions
[One (M8) General] ivicask:
Dont care about "apps", there are already tools that allow to run "real" x86 applicatins on Windows RT ARM based devices, so it may be useful for me for various reason..
[One (M8) General] ext109:
Well ok but still, this is a 5" phone... Not really useful for full Windows.

And the "tool" is called jailbreak and doesn't work on 8.1 ;) only 8.0. And even when it does work, only select ported apps work, and most of those are broken. So unless you want to run GIMP or a half-working rainmeter on your phone, RT is rather useless... Ubuntu and winXP are much more interesting than RT imo, and those have been available for years already (I ran em on my evo 3D!)

Each to their own though... Options are never bad to have.
[One (M8) General] mulhearn22:
So has anyone taken the step to try to flash this Chinese-website-sourced ROM?
[One (M8) General] Stephen:
Best not to. Very high chance it could brick the phone. As the_scotsman said if would need to be recompiled and looked at first. We don't know what the boot leader is like and how it changes the partitions on the phone.

[One (M8) General] xaalfx:
Just give them time I'm sure they have lives that are more important than teaching you how to tinker with your phone. If it happens it happens if not then what are you losing?
[One (M8) General] pokechampion:
currently I'm reading up on the HTC Unbricking Project as they have done some substantial work on investigating DLOAD Mode and dumping the device's eMMC in general. One possible way to do conversion, in both way, is to mount the eMMC, dump it, the first (few?) partition will contain the partition table, the rest are remaining needed partition, in our case we will probably need the bootloader for both versions (hboot for Android and UEFI for WP). I'll research some more, if someone with a WP M8 on hand and willing to tinker with it, tell me, that would be much appreciated. I live in Canada so it's not exactly easy to get my hand on a WP M8, there is a guy in my city selling one, but I'm not sure I want to spend a few hundred bucks on a phone that won't work on my carrier, and I only use it for the eMMC dump.

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

Also, if anyone has an up to date way to look into a nbh file, that would be great help too. I have UEFI_signed.nbh and RUU_signed.nbh, but can't really find the hex, mbn or xml files for QPST flashing

Side notes, I should totally have spammed xda wayyyy more, it's so annoying to have all these restrictions because I don't post enough, although I've been on this forum for years, before bothering to register an account
[One (M8) General] Mr Hofs:
So am i correct there is no conversion yet ? I got the impression that it was a matter of writing the tutorial and not much more ?

As they say "seeing is believing"

;)
[One (M8) General] pokechampion:
The guy who claims to have the tutorial is not me. He claimed to have done the WP -> Android conversion, I'm still working alone to try Android -> WP, so yeah don't ask me for that tutorial, I'm waiting for it as much as the next guy
[One (M8) General] rasstar:
I thought he was working with you. That's what he said.
[One (M8) General] pokechampion:
I gave him the RUU, that's it
[One (M8) General] Mr Hofs:
I understand, don't worry :)

Yeah that's what i understood from the posts as well

So in the end there is no serious work done, i'm not concerned about it as i don't need a conversion at all. It's just that the hopes are getting high now but there is no collaboration, seen no proof of any work ?

Not blaming anyone but i think its wise for people in general that when they say they have something actually are in the position to post it as well. Now it's still all just air

Cheers. :)

[One (M8) General] pokechampion:
I have some updates, although not good news.

After diving deep into the topic of Windows Phone's security, I found out that Secure Boot exists both in PBL and SBL, using cryptographic keys. This means that even if we get the OS running (will update on this a bit later), all services and authentications will not trust the phone.

On actually making a port, I've come really close. I've got MPRG8974.mbn, UEFI.mbn for 8x74, a schema for partition layout. I'll need to write rawprogram0.xml myself, to accommodate for the size of the M8's eMMC, the one I have on hand is for an 16Gb device. After that it is theoretically possible to get WP running on our M8, it might stuck at boot because of the lack of keys for Secure Boot, but there isn't much we can do about it
[One (M8) General] ONYXis:
Are your sure about proper MPRG8974.mbn? most of available mbs's is from lenovo, xiaomi and other china. I think htc's programmer is signed one.

simply generates by ptool.py after parsing gpt_main0.bin. realy nothing hard.
[One (M8) General] mnehring:
If it helps... I have a WP HTC M8 sitting under my bed doing nothing. I would be willing to donate for the slight possibility of getting any full HTC rom on there.

[One (M8) General] TempestZ:
To be honest this seems like Microsoft trying to grow into China. Same as the free windows 10 update even if you don't have a licensed copy where they said they aim at Chinese market (3/4 are pirated).
[One (M8) General] sionicion:
There is no free Windows 10 license, they corrected what they meant. Yes, you can upgrade a pirated copy of Windows but the license will still be invalid and you will still need to buy Windows 10 or it will not be genuine.

I really hope they can make a ROM for the M8s.
[One (M8) General] TempestZ:
I never said it will be licensed I just said it will allow an update, even so it will probably just nag you to buy it after a month or so.

I imagine it will be pretty cool to have a Windows on Android and I don't see why it couldn't be done if they manage to do it on the Mi4. Fingers crossed
[One (M8) General] david black:
So exactly what do we, as a group, need to make this happen? Is it all dependent upon Microsoft?
[One (M8) General] :
Microsoft already has a deal with HTC, hence the M8 Windows phone. Not sure why they'd care to make it available to the Android version. At least not without a hefty price. ?
[One (M8) General] sionicion:
Windows for phones is free of charge and it already works on the M8 so why not, why would they charge potential new customers what sense does that make?
[One (M8) General] :
I'm not disagreeing here.(with your sentiment) But we're already customers of HTC, and Microsoft has nothing to gain financially by releasing it to Android phone users. Or does HTC. They'd much prefer we all go buy the windows m8 if we want Windows.

That's not saying someone won't figure out a way to port it. But it won't be Microsoft's doing. :)
