[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlxcrossing:
So I bought 2 of these 3000mah replacement batteries so I could do quick swapping instead of charging my phone daily. First issue I had was bootlooping when restarting the phone. It would take 5-10 restarts and wipes to get it to boot to lock screen without just turning off. When it turned off I couldn't use the power button, had to constantly do a battery pull. Now I've discovered that when using the batteries and clicking a picture with stock camera the phone shuts down immediately as well. Using the stock battery and these issues don't happen at all, ever. Contacted the company and getting 2 replacements sent but wanted XDA user feedback on this. Could this be a voltage issue due to cheap manufacturing? I've never had a battery itself cause software glitches but they are definitely the root cause.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ianlmt:
I know that rooting basically gives you SU access, I am learning Java Programming and would like to be a part of the community and help to develop rooting methods, but I am still a noob with much to learn, what exactly does source code for a root exploit do? Is there somewhere I can go through it line-by-line, perhaps with comments in regards to what each section does?

Or is there some way to learn this? I want to learn to develop ROMs, themes and rooting methods but I dont know where to begin other than obviously learning Java programming...

Thanks much! and if I posted this to wrong section please let me know!

[HTC Droid DNA] Cman1468:
Hey guys,

So I've had my DNA for almost 1 1/2 years, and just recently decided to root and flash CM 11 and CWM recovery onto it. Now, everything went fine, except a month later, I was listing to music on Pandora, and my phone crashed (it has a few times before since it wasn't a stable release, but always boots back up in like 5 mins), but this time it never booted back up. I let it sit in the charger over night, but got nothing, not even an orange light. So I decided that, since it was broken anyways, to go ahead and take the entire phone apart and reassemble it. And after the second time, it turned back on (by plugging it into my computer at the same time of holing down the power button). But an hour later, the battery died, and I couldn't get to the charger in time, so it shut off. Now, I've tried everything that I have before, and also took it to a repair shop, but never got any life out of it again. Does anyone have any ideas about whats wrong? Is it fixable? I've also herd of a type of USB jig for Samsung phones that can put an unresponsive phone into 'download mode', is there some kind of equivalent of that for the DNA? Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] iHateWebOS:
It's your recovery. Try the most recent twrp instead. I've had this issue with my rezound and DNA and it's scary for sure. If you find a way to power on your device immediately change recoveries. Some are touchy on charging a dead phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] Cman1468:
Would maybe trying to charge the battery outside of the phone work? If so, how would I go about that? A friend of mine has a Lipo charger for RC cars, could I make some kind of jig to charge the DNA's battery with that?

EDIT: Found out he has a supper high end lipo charger that is programmable, so could I charge it with that if I can get the battery hooked up right?
[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
You could to irreversible damage to the battery if you do the settings wrong, or hook it up incorrectly. You can get a replacement battery online for pretty cheap. I suggest that than possibly having a small explosion from charging a battery in a way not suggested. After you get the phone back on, immediately fastboot flash a different recovery as [MENTION=4803670]iHateWebOS[/MENTION] said.

New batteries come half charged (40-60%) out of the box as that is the suggested storage capacity for batteries to ensure long shelf life.
[HTC Droid DNA] Cman1468:
Okay, just ordered a new battery, should be here between the 10th and the 20th. Hopefully this works
[HTC Droid DNA] Cman1468:
HOLY ****, IT WORKED!!!!!! My DNA booted!!! Thanks so much guys!!!! Which recovery would you guys recommend?

EDIT: So I flashed on twrp, and it won't charge with the original battery in it, so does that mean if the new battery dies, my phone won't boot again? If so, which recovery should I flash to prevent that?
[HTC Droid DNA] Cman1468:
Okay, update. So I tried updating my DNA to the latest snapshot of Cyanogen mod (was at m6, going to m11), and the recovery failed, so now I'm soft-bricked... I'm trying to flash on the old m6 snapshot I have on it, but it keeps failing. Also, the recovery won' t support external storage, so I can't flash on m11 from my flash drive... What should I do?

EDIT: Okay, just found out that I was running the 2.4 beta of twrp, so I'm trying the latest 2.8.0.2, Ima see if that does anything

EDIT: YAY, flashing the latest recovery worked!! so now everything is working properly, except the digitizer, since I ripped the ribbon cable a little, but I already ordered a new one
[HTC Droid DNA] Cman1468:
Okay, so I accidentally let the battery drain, and now I'm at square 1 again. Does anyone have the pin-out schematics for the battery on the DNA so I can make a jig to charge it?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] koberulz:
I'm looking at upgrading my HTC One XL to an HTC One Mini 2. I've found this article on Lifehacker on backing up apps and settings and such. Is that a) all still valid and b) going to work when moving from one type of handset to another? Anything else I need to do to get all my stuff over from my current handset to the new one?
[General Questions and Answers] methuselah:
Well i am mentioning some softwares

if you are not rooted then install this app from playstore

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts&hl=en

this app is great for backing up the call logs,calender,contacts.

if your are rooted and on custom recovery then you can go for titanium backup and create a zip.:good:
[General Questions and Answers] dyczone:
Also do note, if your phone is synced to Google, you can get all your contacts and apps (without settings) on your new device just by linking your new phone.

For app settings and SMS, you should probably do what [MENTION=4231759]sachoosaini[/MENTION] recommends.
[General Questions and Answers] methuselah:
App settings are not at all savable if you are not rooted. Well titaniuim backup is the medicine of your questions. And I the universe if the XDA known that on gmail you can restore your backup. But there are many people who are privacy conscious. they don't install Google apps. And rely on other markets ..
[General Questions and Answers] koberulz:
Yeah, the phone is rooted, and the new one will be as soon as I get it (or at least, that's the plan). My main concern was basically whether the LifeHacker article was still valid (it's three years old, which is forever with these things) and whether it would work when switching between two completely different handsets, rather than switching from my current One XL to a different One XL in the case of a lost or damaged phone, for example. They're still both HTC, and thus will both run Sense, which should avoid the biggest potential issue, but I want to make sure I've got everything sorted now, rather than trying it and having it not work.
[General Questions and Answers] methuselah:
Well if they are HTC, they probably shipped with transfer data software. I remember it was bundled along with HTC sense framework Roms. It has features like SMS transfer contact transfer.
[General Questions and Answers] koberulz:
That won't help with apps/app settings though, will it?
[General Questions and Answers] methuselah:
Nope....titanium back will
[Android General] azimdotnet:
As Native Root does not give root permission to all Apps

Step1: Download file "signed_cwm_update" and place it root of your internal memory and then rename it "update.zip".

Step2: Now reboot in recovery mode and select update option.

Step3: Download file "super_su_root_update" and copy in your SD Card.

Step4: Now reboot in CWM recovery mode and select update from zip option and select ""super_su_root_update" file.

Step5: Now reboot and enjoy.

Hi,

I bought an cheap Android phone recently

, with a very reasonable price, about US$110.

and found the touch screen is too sensitive for me. I am wondering is there any possibility I can modify the original rom by myself and make the sensitivity of the screen lower? I had rooted the phone and also downloaded the original rom for the phone.

Do I need to upload the rom for all the dearest to analysis and help?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigbop:
I have a problem that I hope some of the code gurus here can help me with. I have an HTC PDA that was codenamed Colorado. The Colorado is actually the Dell Axim X50 series. I have a thread on Aximsite http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=140071 where I am trying to add a USB host hardware interface to the PDA. I have done quite a bit of hardware reverse engineering of the X50v device (I'm a old-time hardware hacker) and have been able to bring out the PXA270 USB host port1 interface to the outside world via two unused pins on the sync connector.

I originally noticed that the X50v A02 ROM had the OHCI driver included, so I rolled back to that release on my test PDA and have been attempting to get the interface operational. In my quest, I have determined that I need the usbd.dll driver as well as any client device drivers for HID, mass storage, etc.

I've used a number of the great utilities I've found on this site (thank you very much) to grab a copy of the Axim ROM and pull it apart. I consider myself great at working on hardware but my software skills have become rusty over the years (hey - I started by building this system a 'few' years ago: http://www.sol20.org/ :D )

What do I need?

I would appreciate getting some guidance on how to dissassemble the ohci.dll module so I can see if in fact, it was designed for the X50 or if it was left in by accident by HTC as the later ROM updates for the X50 series had the ohci.dll module replcaed with one named peripheral.dll which was about 1/5th the size.

Also, I'm wondering if either the ohci or usbd drivers require the irq and/or the membase of the PXA270 USB host port1 interface and if so, how do I determine those.

My original idea was to use a simple 2 port hub to bring out the interface. Unfortunately, I recently discovered that a hub requires a hub client driver. Because of that, I will settle on getting a USB flash memory key to interface directly as the drivers are already available. One of the problems I have is interfacing the 3v USB host lines on the PDA to the 5v data signals that may be present on the client device. The PXA270 USB host lines are already terminated on the PCB with 15K resistors. All that is needed is a transient protection chip and/or port driver chip.

I have installed the free Microsoft WinCE dev environments which I thought contained the source for the generic ohci driver, but I can't find it anywhere so I guessing it's not included in the free dev s/w.

Although this is only my 2nd post here, I do hope to be able to contribute technical information going forward. What I'm doing on the Aximsite is quite advanced as far as hardware hacking goes and I hope to be able to simplify it so a few others can 'play'.

Thanks in advance for any help and I wish everyone here a great New Year!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
Wow. Well this is a bit over my head, but does sound great.

I will try pointing you toward a couple of useful tools:

1st is IDA probably the most powerful disassembler for ARM code. The free evaluation works fine, but won't save and closes about every 30 min. Still should do the trick if you just want to look at the code.

2nd to get sample driver code, you need Platform Builder. Not sure if that is what you downloaded, but try the provided link. Evaluation version contains all the source code MS is willing to give, it just has some limitations on ROM compilation (which you should not care about).

The only problem is, it's a real b*** to install. Takes hours even if you have a goo internet connection.

Hope this helps.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigbop:
Thanks for the quick reply.

Do you know if there is anyone who knows a little on how the low level device drivers actually interact with the hardware ports?

Also, I assume that with just the ohci and usbd drivers, if the port is actually activated by pulling one of the data lines high, I should get the popup box asking for the name of the device driver. correct?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigbop:
how to determine I/O base offset?

In trying to reverse engineer the ohci driver for a couple for the HTC units, I need to figure out where the I/O register base starts.

Are there any memory dump utils, like dumprom, that would indicate that?

I've installed platform builder and want to try compiling the standard ohci driver, but I need to know how to determine the start of the I/O registers on a given WM2003SE platform.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eckyx:
Yesterday I rebooted my Nexus 7 after it froze while transferring some files onto the NAND, and the OS failed to load. I went into recovery and attempted to reflash the ROM I've been using for a few months, only to have it fail. I tried to revert to stock with the Nexus Toolkit, which failed, so I attempted a fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-group 4.23.img as my first step toward getting it back to stock. I tried with the copy I had, and got "InvalidState", so I google'd and discovered there were two versions of the 4.23 bootloader. Trying with the one that everyone was reporting to work, I got "Unknown Error Code", followed by "BadParameter" and then "Invalid argument". I then "fastboot reboot-bootloader", to try again after a reboot as I was getting nowhere, only to get a black screen. In Device Manager, my tablet shows up as "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)".

Is there anything I can do to revive it? I'm up for breaking it open and replacing parts.

CM11 is too many bugs,I think CM10.1 maybe perfect.:)

And where is the source of A116？

Thank you.:D
[Micromax A116] dev0xteam:
We don't have CM10.1 because it will have the same (or more) bugs than the current version of cm11 available for our device. CM needs to be compiled from source. The patches will be more or less similar.
[Micromax A116] 283578783:
Thank for your answer.:D

And I wonder whether I can port CM11 to my ZTE U956(MT6589) if I don't have kernel source.:)
[Micromax A116] dev0xteam:
Porting CM11 isn't possible without the Kernel source because Kitkat itself requires binder.c patch in kernel. You can look for clone devices or try porting CM10.2. But don't expect a perfect rom because it isn't built for your device. It will have same bugs (or more) that are in the rom you are porting. I recommend looking for clone devices and see of their source is available.
[Micromax A116] 283578783:
Thank you.:)But if you make CM10.1 successfully,we chinese will be very happy:D,because most of Chinese MT6589 phone don't have CM11 or kernel sources.:(We can't port CM11 to those phones,but CM10.1 can.

I'm in Canada, and unfortunately my carrier won't be carrying the Note 4, but, they do have the GS5.

I was planning on selling the GS5 for $600-$650 after market and getting a brand new sealed aftermarket Note 3 for $550.

The Note 4 is surely going to be $750 or $700 after market, and isn't coming for a month or two in Canada.

Is the wait and $ really worth it, or is the N3 good enough to run for the next year or two?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rosli59564:
For the price difference i would wait for note 4.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
The Note 3 will last at least another year in terms of being high-end. Two depends on when they come with 64bit and S810. (probably Note 5.)

The Snapdragon 805 isn't really an improvement, since the N4 also has 3GB RAM.

The only real improvements are the 2k resolution (over 1080p on N3), the Cat6 LTE radio (won't matter of your provider limits the speed) and it'll get newer android versions.

The Note 3 is the best option in terms of hardware/price. The Note 4 is newer.

It's nowhere near the big improvement the Note 3 was over the Note 2.

The difference between the N3 and N4 is very, very small.

My advice? Get the Note 3 for the next year, and wait for the Note 5.

You can get the Note 3 at a good price now, and sure you'll have almost all the new software features from the Note 4 once it cames out. As mentioned before changes arent a lot on HW. 64 bit processors are just beggining its road in mobile phones and you wont see applications that take much advantage of this new architecture.

Samsung is worse than apple when it comes to moving features down the pipeline.

Would my current note 3 get the features or the UI of the S5/Note4? Do i even need to answer that?

The best we will get is the minimal UI changes strongly associated with their Android L review when we get the update 6 months later from the Note 4 ( again just BS )

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svbarbosa:
I agree with you for those who do not want to root and install custom roms.

Otherwise the Note 3 is a great piece of hardware. Just take a look at the development section to see that there are dozens of roms to choose. It is easy to keep it up to date with Android new versions.

Actually, all my other Samsung phones, including the original Galaxy Note, are running Android 4.4.4. All you have to do is get rid of Samsung stock roms.
