[Moto X Q&A] RGNDI:
OK thanks, but cant I just Flash a Rooted Stock 4.4.4 over 4.2.2? Thats a more to the point question
[Moto X Q&A] 1ad_m12:
Yeah that would work as long as your radio is compatible with the rom. The rom you shared earlier should be fine. Just don't downgrade to anything pre 4.4 as that can cause issues because of partition sizes (or so I've heard). But after that I wouldn't take any OTA's cause your bootloader would be incompatible with the OTA and possibly cause a brick. If I were you I'd revert to stock and take the long way to 4.4.3 just so I can get the OTA for when Android L comes out. In fact thats what I plan on doing if the Sunshine bootloader unlock is successful. But if you don't care about that then everything should be fine.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kubri:
Good day guys. Just wanted to know haw to hard reset the xperia v. I have aproblem with my xperia v when i updated the firmware from 4.1.2 to 4.3(Hong Kong because there is no Philippines update for 4.3). It bites to much battery and i don't like it. The reason also why i updated it, its because my phone has no signal, I've read from other blogs that the signal problem might be solve if i will try to update to 4.3. But still it didn't work,still no signal. I'm thinking of hard resetting my phone so that it will go back to the older version witch is 4.1.2, and the firmware is 9.1.A.1.140 because it saves more battery. My phone is not rooted ever. When i updated it to 4.3 i used the flashtool.. So please, if there is anyone here who knows how to hard reset please teach me how. I'm from the Philippines and if there's another way of downgrading to 4.1.2 version, please teach me how to do it.

Hello,

I have the LG G2 D801/803 Canadian model with Videotron that is now stuck in Fastboot mode(can't acces download mode) because I flashed the wrong Recovery. I'd just rooted the phone and was trying to flash the TWRP to make a nandroid backup before flashing a new ROM. From what I read all over the the net, I was pretty confident that the Videotron model was in fact the D801 T-mobile version. Guess it was NOT!

Although I've been flashing ROMs for a long time, I've always been careful and now I feel completely lost. I've read, searched, read, searched, but I REALLY need help :

1. I'm not sure which is the right model for my G2 (videotron). I found this thread but that says it's a D803 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2611749

2. But, there is no sub-forum for that model (D803)

3. Is it possible to reflash the recovery ?

4.What method should I use ?

Thank you for your help

Or in fastboot, simply flash the right recovery with:

"fastboot flash recovery XXX.img"

XXX.img is the name of your recovery file.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charel5:
Hello,

Thank you for the quick reply :). That's exactly what I would like to do :good:. But I dont know wihch recovery file would work because I'm not sure of my G2 version. As I said before, there is no sub forum for the Canadian G2 (Videotron) with the files and all (Boot.img/Recovery.img/Laf.img). That's what got me there in the first time : I used the D801 T-Mob with Auto Rec (my G2 said that's it's a D801), but upon other research it seems to be a D803 in disguise. I can't seem to find the D803 forums/files (ex: Recovery.img) to flash it back.

Do I really need to return to stock ? Can't I flash the recovery img needed ? My problem is that I can't find the TWRP recovery to the D803 Videotron model. I found the REC for Bell and Rogers (canadian) but not for videotron (Is one of those the correct one?)

Plus I don't have my IMEI #, I didn't wrote it down. As I said my phone can't boot, is stuck in fasboot mode and I can't get to download mode.Unless I find the REC I'll probably have to return to stock.

Hi,

What I've done so far :

In fastboot, I tried to simply flash the right recovery. Could not find the TWRP's one, so I settled for Philz Touch recovery. Did not work! I'm still in fastboot mode. (I flash the recovery.img only).

6ril1 explained that because I did it with AutoRec I've flashed bad laf, bad kernel too, bad aboot.

Guess I have to return to stock. Thanks 6ril1

The problem : I'm not even sure what G2 model my Videotron model is (I just want to make sure I get this right). Info I have written down before going into fastboot mode:

IMEI #

Model number : D801 (What got me screwed in the first place)

Software version : not sure (D80120e i think)

It seems that there is no working root out there for your device yet.

2. Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > ZTE Z730 Concord II Root?

So .. you can post your question in the Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting ... but don't expect someone coming up with a working root very quickly.

Maybe it's better to post in one of the already existing threads I linked.

From past few days i have been trying to install a custom rom using TWRP but it always failed, i have tried Paranoid mod then Pacman mod but always failed, i have even softbricked my phone and was unable to connect to PC but luckily find that i can restore to stock firmware.

I am also unable to install Busybox i dont know why

Then i searched web for possible answers and find that i need to S-Off my device then i tried rumrunner , it doesnt work after that i tried firewater and i gives me the Whelp message

Then i found a post which says to do S Off using firewater and install CM11 and some kernel BLA BLA BLA

then i tried flashing CM11 but no luck It wasnt installing .. Now i am tired but i want Custom Rom so badly

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] thals1992:
Hello fellow XDA users! Its been awhile since I've done one of these! I originally was going to have one for the ATIV SE, but it ended up flopping. I'll get to it eventually, but for now you'll have to settle for this. :p I ordered the phone from Amazon as part of the $50 upgrade that they had a flash/fire deal.

There's two apps hidden away that's only accessible via the dialer.

CSDDiag (v1.01.01g)

DiagnosticTool

HTC Diagnostic Interface is still implemented on the device. Its accessible similar to how it was on other Windows Phone HTC devices.

Here's the base device ID.

USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0BAC&REV_0100 (USB Composite Device)

Here's the device IDs for when its running normally.

USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0BAC&REV_0100&MI_01 (WinUSB - HTC6995LVW)

USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0BAC&REV_0100&MI_02 (WinUSB - HTC6995LVW)

USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0BAC&REV_0100&MI_00 (WinUSB - Windows Phone)

These DM Mode driver IDs are the same as the 8XT.

##MFG# -> Diag -> DM Mode (on)

USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0BFF&REV_0100&MI_00

USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0BFF&REV_0100&MI_01

USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0BFF&REV_0100&MI_02

USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0BFF&REV_0100&MI_03

Dial codes that do *something*

##DIAG# launches HTC Function Test (CSDiag 1.01.01g)

##DATA# launches Service Tools (same as clicking on the app - generic info)

##PST# launches Service Tools (DiagnosticTool)

##786# does too....

##522# and ##552+call launches then crashes....

##MFG# launches EmbeddedTool (DiagnosticTool)

The HTC Flashing is accessible by pressing VolUP+VolDown

View attachment 2944711

Here's the DeviceID for that:

USB\VID_0BB4&PID_00CE&REV_0000 (USB BLDR -> HTC USB Sync)

Once connected it displays USB at the bottom like normal.

It also has a note under that:

EDIT: Images have been attached to a zip, there was too many to attach individually. It was already a burden to sort all of these as is, verifying personal info has been removed.

EDIT 2: Attached after playing with the Bootloader image and compressing all of them.

Also, it will be a little while until I can look inside the Windows folder on the device. The WP 8.1 Update 1 SDK update isn't playing nicely with the normal unlock tool, so no \Windows browsing yet for interesting things. Also 8.1 Developer Power Tools is now spitting out hex errors... its being stubborn for sure.

There aren't any useful exclusive apps on them. SysApp Updater has all of them shown and none of them can be installed on it. 5 of them are already installed, which is the same that are listed in HTC Apps from the Store. Beyond that, it seems their app collection is drying up.

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Dev unlock is trivial; it is officially possible through publicly-available tools for all WP8 devices. All it lets you do is sideload and run unsigned apps, though. The standard-privileges version of the webserver is installable on any phone, after you dev-unlock it. It will let you browse the Windows directory (and most of its subdirectories) because that directory is always readable by any app, by design; no unlocks required.

Deeper levels of unlock exist: interop-unlock (same access as OEMs), capability-unlock (same access as Microsoft code, usually possible once interop-unlock is achieved), policy-unlock (term used in WP7 to describe the ability to run third-party apps with arbitrary privileges), root unlock (basically the same thing as policy unlock, not yet available for WP8), and full unlock (ability to customize anything on the phone and run anything with any privileges; historically required a custom ROM). We don't yet have those for any HTC Windows phone, at least not that I'm aware of.

You might also be asking about SIM unlock - I'm really not sure - to permit using a phone locked to one carrier on a different carrier. That is completely unrelated. It is not controlled by, and has nothing to do with, the WP8 OS that you interact with. Even flashing a different stock ROM or a custom ROM doesn't let you remove a SIM lock.

Quick question. If I flash a AT&T ROM to my Verizon M8, will it brick my device? If it doesn't, will I be able to use AT&T LTE bands?

And is there any way of finding working QPST drivers for the M8 for Windows?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] thals1992:
The QPST drivers share the same as their previous Windows Phones.

If you crossflash roms, you do run the risk. I haven't looked at them yet, but I assume it works like Lumias between the same device, but different RM-###s.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Decompiling the DiagnosticTool is pretty interesting! Nothing I've found yet that would enable interop-unlock, but it's worth continuing to look.

It does appear to support switching modem/USB modes, implying that it could enable wired tethering. While less convenient that wireless tethering, wired tethering keeps the phone charged at the same time and (more interestingly) often does not register as tethering for users who have no tethering plan or have a cap on tethered data.

If you need anyone else willing to risk their Windows M8, I'm more then happy to to try this method for converting the phone back and forth!

My only concern with moving between Windows and Android would be whether the IMEI, etc, would be preserved. Under Windows, there is no way to repair the IMEI... under Android, it'd be easy to fix.

Not sure if this is a dead thread....

I currently own the M8 AT&T WP variant, but has anyone successfully accomplished this in reverse with the Andriod Variant M8. Or, would there be a discussion where I could take a look at some additional information regarding QHSUSB_DLOAD. I have spent the past couple of years invested in Windows Devices and am slowly building an understanding of how compiling a Windows 10 Mobile OS works now. Many Android platforms use the same System on Chips as other Windows Mobile OS platform devices, like the 810 MSM8994, 808 MSM8992, or 801 MSM8974xx SoC. Xiaomi obviously partnered with Microsoft to release a W10 mobile ffu for their Android device Mi4 LTE. I would like to attempt at putting together a test build of a W10 mobile image to potentially flash to one of the above mentioned SoCs for an Android Platform setup. Or, potentially use an already existing ROM for Windows Mobile.

I have read a tutorial on another site about bricked OPO devices using QHSUSB_DLOAD and/or emergency com ports, to rebuild the phone back to its original state. So it would not surprise me if sooner than later Dual Boot and or Cross-platform devices start becoming more apparent.
[T-Mobile LG G3] motoridersd:
I'm trying out the M build and one of the first changes I always make with any ROM I install is change the Vibe pattern length. I don't like the default vibration being so long. This is what I usually change in framework-res.apk:

<integer-array name="config_defaultNotificationVibePattern">
<item>0</item>
<item>400</item>
</integer-array>
<integer-array name="config_notificationFallbackVibePattern">
<item>0</item>
<item>400</item>

The original value is 800.

With the M build, it seems like any changes to framework-res.apk are not as simple as before. When I replace the apk with my modified one, I get a bootloop. I've copied the META-INF folder and the AndroidManifest.xml file from the original apk to the new one, but I can't get the phone to boot.

I wonder if something changed in M that now verifies the checksum of the framework-res.apk file and any modifications are now breaking the bootup. Nothing really jumped at me in the bootup logcat, but I need to look more closely.

Anyone else run into this issue?

EDIT: I'm an idiot. I was zipping things incorrectly on the Mac. I fixed it now. Carry on... :cyclops:
