Hey guys, is there any way that I could connect my USB GPS module to my Wizard and it work with GPS softwares like TOMTOM or anything like that? I am willing to cut the cable and rewire it. Could I not just switch the transmit and receive wires and power the GPS through batteries or something? I bet its gets more complicated than that. Or is there any kind of device that can turn a USB device into a bluetooth serial device. I have a USB bluetooth module laying around and am willing to wire it up to the GPS module if there is a way. Thanks. And my GPS module is a Holux GR-213U and I just have an Epox BT-DG02 USB bluetooth dongle.

There is no way to use a wired GPS on your device.

when i open into recovery and go into twmp and i go to reboot>recovery it says no os installed. my recovery is completely gone. what do?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] tttomdemaria:
Ok so I was searching, a lot, and found that I can turn the phone back to OEM. unfortunately every guide I have read says it needs to be s-off using firewater. When i do the "adb reboot" function it gets stuck at the htc boot screen and I cannot perform the second step in making the phone s-off. what do I do? Is my phone legitimately bricked? Like hard bricked forever?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] tttomdemaria:
I also ran the RUU. It goes through and when it gets to step 1 of 7 it stops and says "unknown error occurred" I go through the error recovery steps and it still does not work. Just trying to keep all the info here so you understand the situation I'm in. It also boots into recovery mode, obviously, with the power button and volume down button.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] tttomdemaria:
got it. could go ahead and delete post.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] tommy_riley:
Don't have the thread deleted, but instead explain how you finally solved the problem so others may learn from your experiences...

-Sent from a payphone...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I know you've already sorted it out. But first, this phone is not bricked if the screen comes on. Recovering is usually not hard at all, just a matter of knowing how to do it.

Second, were you referring to a warranty claim for a phone being not bootable due to mods that you did? That isn't covered under warranty, and is immoral. Take responsibility for your actions; and don't jump the gun and think you have to get a new phone after just a couple hours of unsuccessful attempts to get the phone running. If you want to root and mod these devices, you are going to have to learn to be patient and work through little quirks like this.

Lastly, the phone needs to be bootable to perform firewater s-off.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] tttomdemaria:
Thanks. yea my only two friends that do this kind of **** are like seriously the most pessimistic, negative assholes I have seriously ever met in my life. They kinda just scared me into thinking it was easy to brick a phone and totally mess it up. After some research i just found all I had to do was run an RUU and make sure the phone was relocked.

seriously. they are real negative nancies.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] tttomdemaria:
Ok for those of you who may ever be in the situation I was in I will write up how i fixed it. very simple and took probably about 20 minutes start of download of tools to finish. This was done on windows 7 but i'm sure it is pretty similar on windows 8 as well.

In order to do this you will need to know that holding the power button AND the volume up button simultaneously emulate a battery pull and that holding the power button AND the volume down button enter recovery mode. If you are stuck in a boot screen or splash screen like I was you will need to emulate a battery pull and them immediately switch to enter recovery without actually removing your finger from the power button.

Then you need to make sure you have the right tools. you can find them at these locations.

RUU

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2757462

ADB

- http://www.mediafire.com/download/5s2nfws9wkj9gyq/adb-fastboot.zip

Now you need to make sure your phone is either "***LOCKED*** or ***RELOCKED*** when you enter the recovery mode.

You can do this very easily. Plug your phone into your computer and enter recovery mode. Make sure the phone is in Fastboot USB mode and not Hboot. Open the folder titled "Android" in the adb kit you downloaded from the link above. Shift + right click anywhere on that folder(not on a file) and choose "Open command window here" type in the command window "fastboot oem lock". It will show as "relocked" after you do this and it reboots. This will allow you to run the RUU without any issues. Always make sure the phone is in "Fastboot USB" mode.

Now run the RUU executable and it will automatically pick up your phone assuming all of your drivers are in order. Just hit yes to everything and it will run through what it needs to. If you do not have a progress bar on your phone's screen as well as your computer then you messed up somewhere. start over.

If you try to do this on the At&T htc one (m8) without actually relocking it first the RUU will fail at step 1 of 7.

Good luck.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Then stay away from those guys! Sounds like they don't really know that much, wrong attitude, and you are probably already on your way to knowing what they know, if not more.

This phone is pretty hard to brick. As long as you aren't flashing hboot or radio, and don't flash anything intended for another device, its pretty difficult to brick this phone by modding it. The condition you were in was not a brick, and not even close. Some call this a "soft brick" but in my opinion, there is no such thing, its either bricked (requires opening the phone to recovery, such as JTAG or replacing motherboard) or its not. What I call it is "something is wrong with the phone and you just need to do the right steps to get running again".

---------- Post added at 11:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 AM ----------

Glad you sorted it out, so nice job.

Although RUU was probably a little overkill. RUU is a useful recovery tool, although a bit of a nuclear option. But good last resort. Since you RUU'ed, you will need to unlock the bootloader again, and flash custom recovery to get back to where you were originally (phone setup for mods) if that is the intention. If the intent was to go back to stock and stay there, RUU is a great way to do that.

You probably could have just gotten back up and running by using adb to wipe cache, re-install custom recovery and flash a ROM.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shim4379:
So I just got the 8.4 LTE model, and after some initial excitement I noticed that there's some kind of blue/grayish tape coming out from between the frame and the front panel:

(Can't link image as a new user, sorry)

i.imgur.com/j9UQby3.jpg

Anyone else encountered this? There seem to be no teardowns as of yet, so I have no idea if it's something extra that's safe to pull off with extreme force (which it seems to require), or if it's a part of some actual component...

Alternatively, has anyone been able to remove the back panel and/or frame and look inside?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
I have never seen this on my tab s (10.5 WiFi). I think someone put some tape there when packaging it or it come from the package. I would suggest taking it back and ask them why its there because there shouldn't be one on the tab s. Pulling it off may break something with the screen. I can't tell if the the tape is inside or just on the outside part. Hope this helps!

[Moto 360] ChodTheWacko:
Hi All,

Anyone know what triggers vibrate on the watch?

I want all notifications to vibrate the watch.

gmail is currently vibrating on the watch.

Wechat vibrates on the phone, and I get the notification on the watch, but it doesn't vibrate!

Shouldn't it be an all or nothing?

- Frank
[Moto 360] AndrewAmazed:
Not too sure if there is anything you can do as I believe this has to deal with the settings in the app. Some apps only send the alerts to the watch if the phone itself is on vibrate or something. You can try that...
[Moto 360] ChodTheWacko:
This is very annoying. It's going to force me to go back to my pebble. We need a 'pebble notifier' type of app that can force a notification vibrate for any app notification
[Moto 360] lyrad12:
Ikr! I miss my pebble because of that
[Moto 360] ChodTheWacko:
Found one that worked: Augmented SmartWatch Pro.

It seems that wechat doesn't send a "vibrate notification" so it breaks android wear.

Instead it just does a normal app vibration.

Augmented works similar to "Pebble notifier" where it sends a vibrate notification to Android wear.
[Moto 360] wechat:
wechat still not test on the watch yet.
[Frameworks] AdamOutler:
Hi guys,

Here is the CASUALcore with a command-line UI attached. The CASUAL core is a 15meg file, and it's responsible for running several CASUAL Projects like JOdin3, the PIT Analyzer, and of course all of the publicly available CASUAL applications found on these forums, http://goo.im/devs/AdamOutler and http://builds.casual-dev.com.

For end-users:

Today, I'm releasing the CASUAL Command-Line user interface. What's this mean? It means this single 15 meg file can access ADB, Fastboot,

Heimdall, and all the CASUAL commands. It's powerful and worth keeping in your toolbox.

You just need to use the -e parameter and you can enter any of the commands. CASUAL is designed to be scripted in a text document, but you can make one-liners using the ";;;" delimeter. I encourage you to read the CASUAL Script documentation here and let your mind go wild. http://casual-dev.com/casual-commands-and-variables/

Examples

Here are some basic examples of what you can do with CASUAL script.

here is an example of using

CASUAL on a Windows, Linux or Mac system to flash boot.img from adb mode.

casual.jar -e "adb reboot bootloader;;;fastboot flash boot.img"

Host Operating System specific branch operations using echo command:

casual.jar -e "$WINDOWSMAC $ECHO this computer isn't Linux;;; $LINUX $ECHO this computer is Linux!"

Device Operating System specific branch operations checking for i747 in the build.prop:

casual-jar -e "$IFCONTAINS i747 $INCOMMAND $BUILDPROP $DO $ECHO this is an i747 device!"

Bottom Line

Keep this tool handy, it contains command-line accessible Linux, Windows, Mac, and Raspberry Pi versions of ADB, Fastboot, Heimdall and CASUAL commands.

For Developers:

The CASUAL command-line UI has the advantage of being about as small as possible while retaining the functional properties of the CASUAL Core. This minimal CASUAL library can be integrated into applications. It costs 15megs of space and provides all the power of CASUAL, which is practically limitless when working with devices.

You can find full documentation on CASUALcore here: http://javadoc.casual-dev.com/

Bottom line

The CASUAL Core is written in Java 1.6 for compatibility and can be recompiled into .NET without any issues. CASUAL is GPLv3 so use it as you will and include it in your projects, but as per GPLv3 compliance, all major parts of the application must contain a user notice, including the UI.

[HTC One X] ramemo:
Hi, I've decided to go for the stock ROM due to a lot of problems i'm having with my HOX.

I already have Stock Boot.img, Recovery.img, but I am missing the Hboot.

According to the RUU Software my Hboot (Which I upgraded a year ago to 1.39) I need an older Hboot in order to run the RUU.

I've searched for a lot of sites and forums and don't seem to find a Hboot 0.96 (Stock) anywhere.

I'd appreciate if some has or knows where can I get it,

Thank you in advance!
[HTC One X] Thant:
you can't downgread your hboot unless you are S-OFF. Restore nandroid backup with your main version numbers or flash custom sense 5 rom close to stock like MaximusHD, ARHD or rom in my signature

Just went back to ARHD, well it seems the end of this device is near. Thank you!

I've the same problem. I'm on HBoot 1.72 and I want get back to SlimBean 4.2.2 because with that ROM my HOX runs best. If I try to install SlimBean Build 8 I get the message that only HBoot <= 1.39 is supported. Is there any way to get back on Slim 4.2.2?
[HTC One X] JasDA:
I've solved my problem without downgrading HBoot or something like this. You can simply edit the updater-script from the ROM and add HBoot 1.72 as possible solution. Now I'm running Slim 4.2.2 on HBoot 1.72 without any problems. :D
[HTC One X] Thant:
What?:eek: 4.2.2 is JB latest you can run 4.2.2 with 1.72:eek: don't post things like this because people will start to make stupid things
[HTC One X] khairulez:
i think he mean this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2172020

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] housry23:

Edit: It still doesn't work. It's weird if you create a widget shortcut it works just fine. It just has a hard time opening Tapatalk start page. I was actually having a problem with this on my OnePlus One at first, but the Tapatalk update fixed it. I think it's a resolution thing.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
1) Read read read until you understand the basic concepts of what you are doing, potential pitfalls, how to recover, etc.

2) Read the ROM thread for the one you picked for any potential issues. Read the install instructions on the top post of that ROM thread, etc.

3) I don't know what you mean by "bad kernel" but (going along with Items 1 and 2 above) understand what you are flashing. Only flash mods known to work with this device, don't mismatch kernels with the ROM (try to use a AOSP kernel on a Sense ROM or vice versa), etc.

4) Have adb/fastboot installed and understand how to use them. You know how to sideload, so it seems you already have this one done pretty well.

5) For the love of god, make a nandroid backup of your current setup using your preferred custom recovery (TWRP or CWM). This alone will get you out of most "soft brick" jams; so I have no idea why some many folks skip this step!!!

6) Full wipe (data, cache and Dalvik) when flashing a new ROM. This is the default wipe if using TWRP. Neglecting to do this is a common mistake, and doing so can save some headaches.

7) Some folks have had random issues flashing with TWRP. Be prepared to re-flash TWRP (wipe cache first) or switch to Philz CWM if this happens to you.

8) Consider S-off, as it gives you more recovery options if you run into problems.

9) That's really about it. If you have these items covered, you are pretty well equipped to recover from any issues flashing ROMs. But most likely, if you do a full wipe and just install the ROM, it will boot fine.

This icon, the two times I saw it, only appeared for a few seconds and went away, and I'm sure it is a really dumb question, but I need to know haha.I'm guessing it's trasnmiting something... OTA maybe?

I attached part of the screenshot of the notification bar. The icon I don't know is the 4th.

In the picture you can see the icon of vibration,wifi,cellular network, the weird icon, battery, and finnaly clock. Thanks!
