[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicky2131:
thanks for your reply my friend!!

Are you from china?? and if so where can i get the 64gb online in china which can be shipped to guangxi?? or should i tell my sister to check in the local shops if it might be cheaper??
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpha.shining:
Yes. A noob from Chinese :D

Local shop will cost more money than online market so online is the best choice, my friend.

You can get this from Jingdong online market which is very similar to the Amazon. Website is http://item.jd.com/1142209.html .

You can also buy it from opo official website at 10 o'clock on Tuesday and Friday mooning but the number is limited.

Sorry for my crappy English.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MR. Anon:
I just had major surgery and some problems concentrating but man I know I am not this stupid.

I just purchased the Verizon Note Pro 12 today and there is no phone icon anywhere and did not see this in other posts.

I have searched through every spot on that thing and cannot find it. I have the Note 3 phone and other Samsung phones so I am pretty used to their systems..

..Is there something I need to do special to find this because I am about to own a multi-hundred dollar discus?

Yes it is 4G, yes i have the Sim card inserted, yes it told me my phone number, but no phone or dialer icons exists, and I am supposed to be using this on a trip in a day and a half so would like to know its functions.

Thanks everybody..

That's what happens when you buy a US branded device. They always block the dialers in their tablets, because they want you to use VOIP. In most cases they even go so far as to block calls for tablet-based numbers.

Have you tried a third party dialer?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artelier:
Hey, new to the mod scene. I got a HTC M8 recently with that's rooted, unlocked bootloader and S-On.

Currently running Elix-R 1.21, a GPE ROM. Was browsing some other custom ROMs and some recommend a firmware upgrade.

My question is, how do I check what firmware I have, and can I upgrade my firmware if I recover back to stock and use OTA ? I tried googling the answer, checking the FAQ thread here and searched for a few pages with the keyword firmware but couldn't find the answer. (I have found the thread on how to flash firmware though)

History:

- Had stock for a while, updated through OTA around...August? I think? I can't remember which update
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
Check the below thread, has step by step guide on how to check firmware version in fastboot. There are other threads/guides on how to return to stock to update firmware, just have to search.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artelier:
Thanks! I tried that but I think because I'm on a modified ROM, it doesn't actually show my firmware where it's supposed to be.

However, if that's the only way, then when I think I need to upgrade my firmware I'll flash stock and check it first. :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trane116:
Boot into fastboot. It's somewhere on the text if i'm not mistaken
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Firmware doesn't really have a "number". We often refer to the software OS version (1.x, 2.x) the firmware deployed with for lack of anything better to go by. By checking main or software number, its just telling you the version of the ROM. You need to look at the hboot and radio baseband numbers.

If you are on hboot 3.18 and baseband 1.19x, you are on the 2.x base firmware. If those numbers are lower, you are on 1.x firmware.

Also be aware that Android 4.4.4 (software 3.x) is starting to roll out now. So you may want to return to stock ROM and recovery to get this OTA and the absolute newest firmware, anyway.
[Fire TV General] modstore:
I have successfully blocked 10 or so FireTVs using DNSMasq. They got to the "Checking for updates" screen then continued fine to login.

I have a new batch of FireTVs though, and the same method leaves it stuck at an "Update available" screen, didn't even go to a "Checking for updates" message. Finally it times out and says it couldn't contact the servers.

Not sure on the method to block the updates in this case. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks heaps.
[Fire TV General] rbox:
Depending on the version it comes with, it might have a forced update.
[Fire TV General] modstore:
Ahh ok, so there's no way to stop this update happening? What's the best method to hopefully still get root, just let it install this update, and hope it hasn't gone to the latest. Then re-enable DNSMasq rules again after this update? Thanks!
[Fire TV General] rbox:
Sure, but at this point I think they are pushing out 51.1.3.0 out to everyone.
[Fire TV General] modstore:
Ok, I'll just let it run and see what happens.

I assume there's no way to imitate the update server on localhost? Eg redirect to localhost and have the same XML file or whatever they request, and return an earlier update locally? Not really sure how it works, and I imagine it couldn't be this easy.
[Fire TV General] rbox:
Various experiments have been done. If you MITM the update and replace it with a different version it will fail because it knows what the checksum should be. Although I don't think anyone has tried to see what happens if the checksum fails for a forced update. If it fails for a normal update it'll just fail and go on with life and try again later. I would assume if a forced update fails it'll just try to download it again. It will try to download a URL from http://amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuite.net. If you stick wireshark on it, see what it's trying to download, and then point the DNS to a local server which is serving up a garbage file at the location, it will download it and see the checksum failed. At that point it *might* keep booting and try to download it later, or it might be stubborn and try to download it again.
[Fire TV General] modstore:
I unblocked the urls and allowed the update to run. Once it finished I put the block back in place, and after installing the updates, it proceeded to the "Checking for updates" step, which was successfully bypassed, and my system was only updated to 51.1.0.2 :) Thanks heaps for the info.
[Fire TV General] AFTVnews.com:
I will be testing this theory, among a few others, soon. One of my readers is shipping me his "refusing to proceed" Fire TV. It's currently in the mail. This is the first time I'll have one of these Fire TVs that won't proceed past the update check, so hopefully I'll be able to figure out a way to get to the home screen without taking an update. Stay tuned.
[Fire TV General] Y314K:
Wonder if the checksum is something that can be known & then injected while still loading a downgrading FW? When connected to a local server via Cat 5e cable?
[Fire TV General] {ParanoiA}:
You could use keyword blocking and just block every update that isn't rootable so it can only try to update to a version that is rootable
[Fire TV General] rbox:
This is interesting. This shows that in some instances it doesn't flash the latest right away.

The problem is the firetv talks to an HTTPS server initially. It sends a huge JSON payload including encrypted data. And receives a huge JSON payload also including encrypted data. The Fire TV does certificate validation, so the HTTPS server it is presented has to have a valid certificate. It doesn't necessarily check that it's Amazon's certificate, just that it is a valid certificate (signed by a valid CA). But regardless, there are encrypted parts and plaintext parts of the payload and I suspect modifying anything in it would make it fail. Also I suspect the serial number is encoded in there somewhere too, so capturing the result of a "here, flash 51.1.0.2" payload might not work. But I didn't do too much experimentation on that front.

Yes, that is assuming it doesn't do a forced update to a non rootable version.
[Fire TV General] modstore:
I assume if the forced update compares the checksum, it already knows which update it will be getting. So if an update is released after that, it couldn't be sent to it on it's first update, is that correct?
[Fire TV General] rbox:
The way it works is the Fire TV talks to the update server and it says "hey, hows it going. My serial number is XYZ and i am running software version 123. Do you got anything for me?" And then the server will respond with either no or an update url along with the checksum.

So in theory, if the update server is configured to give out only old versions to really old boxes, and then give it the latest after that, that would explain the behavior being seen.
[Fire TV General] Y314K:
Any updates... Have you even received the AFTV ?
[Fire TV General] AFTVnews.com:
I did receive it. I haven't had too much time to mess with it yet. So far, no amount of URL blocking will get past the forced update. I'm pretty sure it puts up the "an update is available" screen before it even checks to see if there actually is an update. I've blocked nearly every domain it's trying to access, so either it permanently remembers there is an update (yes I've cleared /cache and /data) or it tries to update no matter what.

It will not proceed if it doesn't get an expected response from softwareupdates.amazon.com. A spoofed response is not good enough. It needs to be the encrypted response it expects. Since the softwareupdates.amazon.com responce tells it to start download ing the update, my next step is to try feeding it various versions of the update file and see how it reacts.
[Fire TV General] Y314K:
Great to hear your throwing the kitchen sink at it. I am waiting for my 2nd unit from Staples. Seems all the ones they are shipping are on the new unrootable FW (Amazon must of sent out only new FW as restock). But with coupons you can't beat Staples price (Under $60) Will have to decide what I want to do with it. My 1st unit is already rooted. Heard any rumors about a new root ?
[Fire TV General] AFTVnews.com:
No rumors on a new root. A new root will likely come from an Android phone root and not a Fire TV specific root.
[Fire TV General] Y314K:
Well if you have CWM & the latest PreRooted FW then your super protected & don't have to worry about things. CWM will block AutoUpdates. One of a the many benefits of a rooted AFTV + CWM.

At least the base for root possibilities is much broader if you include Android Phones...

[Fire TV General] AFTVnews.com:
I'm still trying different things with no luck. I've tried killing and/or blocking the update download at various points with no luck. I've also tried making it download a dummy update file by redirecting the download request to my own server. Everything ends up with the same result: an update failed message with no option but to pull the power and try again.

I've only got a few more ideas and then I'm spent. Ideas for things to try are welcome.

Side note: I've found that if the update file download returns a "404 - File Not Found", the Fire TV will retry the download about every 3 minutes forever. I let it go for a full hour and it never gave up. This doesn't really change anything, but I thought it was worth mentioning since it's the only thing that has changed the routine so far.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rudyo78427:
I noticed that under Network settings for Global or GSM, the New APN feature to manually add an APN for different sim is gone. Looks like it's an auto detect feature now. I travel overseas for business alot and use pre-paid SIM cards. Not all prepaid sim cards have the data APN coded. I just found out on my trip here to Taiwan and couldn't get data on my phone because the option for adding the APN is no longer available. I tried multiple settings, different ROM's and no good. Only when I downgraded my firmware did the option come back. Glad I'm rooted, it sux, but had to downgrade and reflash back to the old 4.4.2 firmware/rUU and run custom ROM. Until this is addressed by verizon, there will be no way to manually add an APN.

Thanks to member DOTTAT for giving me the direction I needed to get the APN assignment issue resolved. I just needed to do things differently for getting the APN to load up. Basically had to to to the 'Network Preferences' section to add the network my SIM cards are registered on. This is a long list to scroll through. After I selected the network, there is multiple options to add the network type (GSM,UMTS,LTE, etc.) Had to enable three different versions then reboot the phone. After, there were two APN's that automatically populated and I was able to edit. Thanks again to DOTTAT for the direction. :laugh::good:

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hardboiledjuice:
I figured I'd bump this thread rather than start a new one... It seems I and many other Verizon M8 users have encountered the same problem:

I get no list of network APNs under "Network Preferences." There are zero entries, even though a message pops up to say the list is full.

I tried manually entering the MCC/MNC numbers for my carrier abroad (Claro Brazil) but this doesn't resolve the problem. I am stuck with only voice but no mobile data service.

Has anyone found a solution to this? Verizon tech support of course insists "just pop in the SIM and it should work automatically" as does the Brazilian carrier.

[Moto X Q&A] gerodive:
Back story: Verizon Moto X, unlocked bootloader via China Middleman, running Eclipse ROM 4.4.2, TWRP 2.7.0.0 recovery

Objective: wipe everything and flash back to a (rooted) stock for device retail

Why I'm screwed: everything is wiped - phone has no OS, recovery, etc. It simply hangs out on the Motorola M at boot and doesn't move. fastboot loads and will flash recovery (seemingly successfully) but rebooting to recovery always gets stuck at the logo

How I got there:

1. Backed up with TWRP, then flashed new recovery CWM (the one here) and backed up again. Saved both folders of nandroid backups to my PC (yay)

2. Flashed back to TWRP (but this time the new one v2.8.0.1 here, which I downloaded and flashed via that fancy new TWRP app [I selected the "ghost" model]) clicked about every type of wipe option I could get my grubby little fingers on, then adb pushed the ROM and kernel/radio combo from here.

3. Attempted to flash the new ROM via TWRP. It failed. something about an "Error executing updater binary in zip". I sighed, said "meh", googled the problem a bit and figured I'd reboot the recovery and try again. This is where things get weird.

4. Phone hangs out at boot logo (that kaleidoscope "M"). Fine, I accidentally did a normal boot, and there's no OS installed. I go into fastboot and boot to recovery. SAME SCREEN. TWRP has apparently disappeared. No matter. I go into fastboot and flash it again, then boot to recovery. SAME SCREEN. Flash back to CWM. SAME SCREEN. Back to TWRP one more time just for giggles? SAME SCREEN.

No idea where to go from here. Anyone have any idea how this happened and what my options are at this point? Is there a way to manually flash a ROM via fastboot? Restore either my CWM or TWRP nandroid backups without access to the recovery? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Attachments:

a) boot logo I'm stuck on

b) command line log of commands from flashing recoveries
[Moto X Q&A] VerneVerne:
From fastboot, flash your recovery and then use the volume down button to highlight recovery and then volume up button to enter into recovery.
[Moto X Q&A] gerodive:
Perhaps I didn't make that clear - that's exactly what I've been doing.
[Moto X Q&A] Wansanta:
That is what I have.

Well I wiped my system partition when I must have been drunk or something b/c I still can't believe I did it. But I did. Then from bootloader mode, I ran the command mfastboot flash system system.img from a command shell on my PC using the system image from the sbf that my bootloader was currently on (in my case, it was 4.4.4). All was good.

Then I could restore my nandroids by moving them to my phone from my PC.
[Moto X Q&A] gerodive:
Could you elaborate a little more on this? How do I get the system.img file to flash? I'm guessing my bootloader would be on the 4.4.2 one since that was what Eclipse was on, but is there any way to check? Deleting the system partition was definitely what I did. Also, why mfastboot as opposed to just fastboot?
[Moto X Q&A] Wansanta:
mfastboot flash system system.img

In bootloader mode it will tell you on the second line. 30:B7 is the 4.4.4 bootloader version.

As long as you can get into bootloader mode you can flash it back.

because the moto x system images are too large to flash with fastboot, you have to use mfastboot.
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
4.2.2 or 4.4.2?
[Moto X Q&A] Wansanta:
yeah he really needs to check b/c it really matters what version of the bootloader he is on.
[Moto X Q&A] gerodive:
Flashing the 4.4.2 system.img (and boot.img just for good measure) worked! I was then able to boot normally and then upgraded to 4.4.4. Oh happy day. Thanks for the help everyone.
[Moto X Q&A] gerodive:
Sorry, meant 4.4.2.
