Hi all,

Can someone tell me how I flash a .bin or a .nb0 file on the Hermes using Mitty?

I have got the new bootloader and its supersid, just wana try a rom I got sent

thanks!

dave
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Here's the howto:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootloaderMFG

Basically, you need to use 'lnb' command for unsigned files, and 'lnbs' for signed files. The syntax is the same for both commands:

lnb <PathName> [StartAddr] [Length]

If StartAddr is omited it defaults to 0x501a0000, which is the address of OS.nb

If Length is omited it defaults to the legth of the file you provided in PathName.

The addresses for all known ROM parts are here (scroll down to "NAND flash distribution"):

Be careful if you flash a cooked or modified OS.nb, as it might produce bad blocks in NAND.

I just tested the USB 2.0 and 3.0 cable with a 800MB movie file, both cables are plugged into a USB 3.0 port on my computer so that everything is ceteris paribus.

The transfer speed to micro sd card with USB 3.0 cable was 1:51, the speed with USB 2.0 was 1:53.

The transfer speed to phone storage was both 0:25 for usb 2 and 3.

It makes virtually no difference if it USB 2 or 3 on the Note 3 in terms of speed.

What was is the point of having and using USB 3.0?

Hello Man,

let's first differentiate between two things ,1. Physical Cable 2. Configurations

1. Physical cabling : In USB3.0 case you should be using the white cable that comes with the mobile and use a USB3.0 port in the laptop/PC usually the USB3.0 port in laptops has a "thunder like logo" beside it or something to differentiate it from normal USB2.0 ports , in USB2.0 case u can use any micro USB cable and plug it in any PC port.

2. Configuration : in USB3.0 case ,once you plug the cable in the USB3.0 port you shall find USB option in the notification panel in your mobile ,tick it to enable the full speed port.

In USB2.0 case you will not find this USB3.0 option in the notification panel.

I hope this helps...

The Note 4 already has root which is great, however we are only half way there.

It's kinda strange that everyone is talking about all kinds of things but not a word

about custom recovery for our phones which is what we really need now.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dkb218:
Wow. Had the phone a whole 8 hours and no recovery! Gotta tell ya, these developers are slacking off! They knew a year ago that the Note 4 would be out and they did nothing! Nothing! What do we pay these guys for? I say we dock their checks for the week. How dare they not use their knowledge of future events and have us waiting 5 days before the phone is even officially release to not have a recovery waiting for us. :(

Yeah, except I have been around long enough for that to be a legitimate statement. I am in the process of setting up Heimidall, so I haven't tested it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2386856 <- Same concept. That was long before CWM or TWRP had a recovery for the device. Whether or not they actually made one or simply grabbed the source when it transitioned from a port to a build, who knows. The point is that building a custom recovery only requires a copy of the stock recovery and an existing custom recovery for a device that has similar hardware. It will likely be here when you return.

sent from a place using a device
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
You cannot install CM on the AT&T S4 (i337), the bootloader is locked. There was a point over a year ago where there was an exploit for the bootloader that would allow you to install any ROM known as Loki. But that was patched with the very first update AT&T pushed out. There are very few people who still have that version.

The S4 Active was released after that vulnerability had been patched, so there was never a version of the Active where you could install custom ROMs.

If you want an unlocked bootloader, buy an international version of the phone you want, never buy a phone branded by either AT&T or Verizon. You're only other option with the i537 is to install SafeStrap, you will be able to install TouchWiz-based custom ROMs, but no CM and no AOSP.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] dokujaryu:
So I screwed up the first attempt with the included screen protector and got dust on it. So, I used hot water to get all the dust and glue off the back, then wet the phone and applied the protector to it, aligning it while wet, then used a credit card to push out all the bubbles.

The only problem is when I first removed it I bent the corner near the speaker.

I was wondering if anyone has tried this with a fresh one.

Also, does anyone know where to buy more of these? I'd like a fresh one.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Dsteppa:
I.....

Don't....

Really understand your question. What did you bent? The screen protector? Buy a new one?

If you meant something else.. then I've got no idea.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] geronimoid:
Yep, i always apply them under a running tap (low presssure) :good:

I also discovered my first Z3C wasn't waterproof this way, has been replaced by Sony after they tested it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] dokujaryu:
I like the matte screen protector Sony included, but I bent it when peeling it off the first time. So now there's a corner that won't lay flat on the device.

So, two clear and simple questions:

1. Has anyone else wet applied the screen protector?

2. Where can I buy another one? It looks there's one here, but it's not by Sony: http://www.amazon.com/iLLumiShield-Replacement-Anti-Glare-Anti-Bubble-Anti-Fingerprint/dp/B00M14MXUS
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] ghtop:
1. Somehow I doubt that there are many people apart from yourself who would consider wet application of what is supposed to be a dry application protector.

2. There's a whole other thread about this.

Edit: since Roxfit are the "official" providers of Xperia accessories, it's probably one of these:

[LG G Pro 2] ray-lee:
Hi,

Wanted your thoughts and opinions on charging speeds. I've never actually timed how long it takes to charge. i leave it overnight and it's ready when i wake up.

When i plug the phone into the charger, it flashes up slow charging for 2 seconds then disappears. which got me wondering how much it's actually using.

i used to use Current Widget app on my Samsung S3 which told me exactly how much current the phone was taking from the charger. typically it was 1A via AC/mains and 499mA from a PC. Plugged in to AC, I could play a power hungry game and it would still charge the phone at a good rate.

The LG kernel doesn't like these apps - the mA value is all over the place but it's typically <500mA displayed.

I could buy a USB ammeter to work out how much the USB charger is supplying but do you have any other methods of finding out? Do you know what your phone uses?

at home, i use a Xtrememac dual USB charger, 2x 2.1A output with a shielded 3M USB cable. for those wondering, it's the same regardless what cable i use. Have also tried with generic usb chargers, iPad chargers and official and OEM cables from LG and various other manufacturers. Have also used a data-shorted USB cable from PC which is the same result.

I haven't tried the LG charger yet (mainly as it's a 2 flat-pin plug and i don't know where i put the box) but i think i recall it being a 1.8A charger.
[LG G Pro 2] vasya_d838:
I use an application called "charger report" which can display current consumption and Xtar "USB detector" device. They both show the same numbers. But Xtar USB detector can detect voltage of a charger. The charging current of LG g pro 2 is 1.4-1.5A when the smartphone is not used and higher when I use it. Using USB detector I found out that this smartphone can charge with maximum current a charger can give only if the charger's voltage is 5.3v. So it chargers at full speed with original charger and two other chargers I have: a charger from my Lenovo s6000 (2A 5.4V) and from my Asus t100 (2A 5.3V).
[LG G Pro 2] ray-lee:
i tried that app too and got the same results as with Current Widget.

i'll buy a "usb detector". thanks.
[LG G Pro 2] vasya_d838:
I forgot to mention that it take approximately two hours for charging indicator to reach 100% when the smartphone reports that it fully charged. And it's necessary to left it connected to a charger for ten to twenty minutes to be really fully charged. Otherwise charging indicator will soon drop to 90%. One can tell if a smartphone is still charging by touching a charger or by looking at current consumption: a charger would be warm and current would be higher than 200mA.

[LG G Pro 2] bhun:
Hey ray-lee! :)

I just bought this phone and as it seems it could get someday similar problems as my former phone the Galaxy Note 2.

That phone has had problems with charger and cable also. I had to buy another set of charger and cable since the original ones gave up a few months after i purchased the phone (it was used). The cable managed only 500mA wich is very slow for a battery that strong. One night was once not enough to charge my phone from 30% to 100%. As it seems it is problematic to manufacture cables, that can hold up and continually grant the 1,8 A that would charge our device in just 2 hours. I read somewhere that the G Pro 2 is one of 5 devices that has blazing fast speeds on charging the battery. If you handle the cables with caution hopefully you will not encounter problems. If so my guess is, that you will have a hard time in finding a cable that can hold up. Sadly the stock cables are always more expensive. I do not get it, why companies dont build travel adapters that only charge ur phones built solid with sturdy cables to ensure the transmission of high currents. That way with charger + usb cable is just stupid, even when tis is an all in one solution.

I like this phone very much and i hope, that the cables will not be that sloppy as the cables that Samsung had/ still has. :) With Current Widget i get readings around 1500 mA (1,5 A) when connected to the stock charger. And yes the LG Charger is an 1,8 A one. I have also flat pins, but received an adapter to be able to connect it in Hugary.

Just sharing thoughts here, that will maybe helpful to someone... :D

I use the "Charging Report" app on my phone, and it reports proper values.

(Around 1500mAh with the LG charger, and around 1600mAh with the 2.0A Samsung charger.)

If your phone is charging slowly, check the CABLE. Cable can broke too.

I just got my M8 about a week or two ago and it's still a top notch device and IMO worlds better than a Nexus device. I don't understand the obsession with those. Stock android is nice and all but sense 6 is a lot better than pure stock android IMO.
