No go... I entered all this stuff exactly like you said, and I get the same errors.

Interesting to note is the drivers reg keys already existed!

It appears that the other exe (stloader.exe) did run and I think entered those keys. The actual program tho, seems to not run (and therefore never entered the proper keys, I'm guessing).
[HTC Tornado] new2city:
Sorry man.. to get your hopes up..

Right now, I got Axim Widcomm Stack running on my Wizard, but still get the memory issue after a long time powering off bluetooth.

oh well, back to waiting and testing new stacks..
[HTC Tornado] Dishe:
Hey, I've got another idea if you wouldn't mind helping me some more...

Could you try to manually install it the way I've been doing on your pocket PC device?

The reason I ask is because it will determine if there's some sort of PPC-specific code (which I don't think I've ever encountered or even heard of before).

I attached the files and directory structure that I extracted from the cab. If you could, please try uninstalling BluePlayer and tell me if you can get this to run by manually copying the files here.

If it doesn't work for you either, than its because my method is flawed and I'm missing something here... and I shouldn't give up yet!
[HTC Tornado] new2city:
ok, I will give it a go, but most probably I can only go as far as getting the program to run... Feel comfortable with the widcomm stack, don't feel like disabling it..

just give me a few hours.. my stupid SD USB card reader not working properly... got to look for my cable.. damn!!
[HTC Tornado] new2city:
good news is, the program starts with the exceptions

1)at first start after putting the files in place, the program starts a few times with the L2Cap error...

2)After a few failed restarts, followed by a softreset, the registry settings in drivers(L2Cap..) are in place and the program runs without error.

3)Now it's up to you to test it with MS stack bluetooth on, as I cannot confirmed this for you.. good luck buddy...
[HTC Tornado] Dishe:
no no, that's actually bad news because it means the same thing works on a ppc that doesn't work on a smartphone. My problem now is to figure out which part of this is PPC specific, and if possible find a way around it.

Thanks for testing it, and no, I didn't expect you to remove the widcomm stack, especially if you're happy with it. I don't need you to tell me it actually WORKS, just having it start up is good enough for me.

Whats the L2Cap error?
[HTC Tornado] Dishe:
UPDATE:

some light has been shed on the matter:

There are some .dll's that exist in the PPC build of Windows mobile that are non-existant in the smartphone version.

Its possible the app is looking for a file that only exists on PPC. So, now I have to analyze it and find out what .dlls are required.

Someone pointed out that VS 6 comes with something called dependancy walker, which can tell you what files are referenced by an .exe

EDIT:

Found it!

the .exe needs two files i don't have on smartphone-

mfcce300.dll

and olece300.dll

Can someone with a healthy WM5 installation attach those two files? It might be a simple as that!
[HTC Tornado] new2city:
Sorry man, can't be copied...
[HTC Tornado] Dishe:
huh? why in blazes not?
[HTC Tornado] new2city:
don't really understand it either, when I tried to copy it out, says that there is another copy already at my target location and when I agree to overwrite, it's says its not possible...
[HTC Tornado] Dishe:
that's messed up!

Even if you try using windows explorer on your desktop when activesynced?
[HTC Tornado] new2city:
Sorry buddy, can't copy when activesynced either..

"Error Copying File or Folder: Cannot create another system semaphore"

BTW I googled the dll and there seems to be some sites offering it... why don't you try it from there, I am not sure which one you need...
[HTC Tornado] Dishe:
Tried. it didn't work, but I wonder if it needs to be a WM5 file... This is never ending. Maybe I should give up...
[HTC Tornado] michaelp:
I have a T-Mobile SDA (SP5m) running the latest Qtek ROM from December. If you give me a list of reg changes and files, I will test it out. I am eager to get it running too.
[HTC Tornado] Dishe:
You're more than welcome to help me get this working! We have identical hardware, albeit running different ROMs, so our results should be about the same.

Well, here's a quick recap in case you haven't been following everything:

This program should work on any windows mobile device, its just a matter of getting all the files needed to run it. The actual program files have been extracted from the cab and attached in the zip file here, along with their original directory structure.

In theory, you should not need to preserve the directory structure, normally its enough to throw them all in the same dir (the program can see files in its own path rather than look in "windows\"). However, we may want to try both ways until we can determine why its not working.

Registry entries are not needed, I already had new2city verify that by simply copying the program files over to a PPC and running it without changing anything in the registry. So, the logical conclusion is that there are files missing on the smartphone that it needs to run.

After doing some research, I found out that the smartphone platform is missing some runtime components that the PPC platform has built in.

Someone in another thread was kind enough to help point that out to me:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=294064

Over there, levenum pointed me towards Dependency Walker, a little free app that will tell you what dll's a program needs to run.

Sure enough, after running DP on the main .exe of Blueplayer, it yeilded a series of .dll files, two of which don't exist on smartphone. Those two are, as listed earlier,

mfcce300.dll

and olece300.dll

Now, here's where it gets tricky. Those files can't be copied off a PPC directly. For some reason the OS won't allow it. So, either someone needs to get it extracted from a ROM image, or find them some other way. A google search yeilded some files that have that name, so I tried them.

It still didn't work. Levenum pointed out that perhaps msfcce300.dll requires FURTHER dll's of its own to work. Sure enough, I ran it in Dependency Walker and found more dll's. At this point I haven't had the time to continue looking into this, and being that I question the validity of the msfcce300.dll file I have from google (I have no idea where it came from originally), I'm not planning on going further until I or someone else gets a real file from a healthy WM5.0 PPC image.

If you can get that, let me know!
[HTC Tornado] Dishe:
SUCCESS!!!

Well, sort of.

The program opens, but I get an error about L2Cap or something like that.

New2city, you mentioned this before, but you said it went away. I've run it several times already and even soft-reset a few time, but no luck.

The program does open despite the error, however I can't seem to pair with any devices or play anything from within. All I've been able to do so far is add songs to the playlist... well, at least I'm getting closer!
[HTC Tornado] new2city:
Good news eh... did you check if the registry settings is there? Try another executable... the original(with 30s) and then the hacked ones, nolimit and the latest with remote enabled(I just saw this but didn't read indepth as my S35 is not AVCRP enabled)..

I don't know how it was solved the last time but you know windows... it's from Microsoft....
[HTC Tornado] michaelp:
So, did you guys get this thing working? I have a SDA that I would LOVE to get this running on. I'll even use mine to test things out on.
[HTC Tornado] Dishe:
If you really want to help, follow what I've been doing and try to figure it out with me!

I can't get it to start up without the L2cap error!
[Droid RAZR M General] elevatorguy:
I have an m on jb rooted with safe strap is it possible to let it take the OTA to kitkat then root with tr and unlock the bootloader? If it can update will it give me the version that can't be unlocked? If I can't do the OTA how else can I get it on the right version of kitkat?
[Droid RAZR M General] dbreezy187:
This has everything you need... Use rsd lite to upgrade to kk make sure you upgrade to 182/183.46.10 so you can unlock the boot loader

[Droid RAZR M General] elevatorguy:
Do you have a link to a download of the kk software? I'm at work looking at this on a phone don't see a link in that thread to it
[Droid RAZR M General] AndyYan:
Read through the thread linked to above and make sure you understand. There have been many people getting stuck at .15 and we don't want you to be one of them!

Firmware for use with RSD Lite: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8 . Note that unlike OTAs, flashing with RSD Lite will make you lose your data and your internal storage contents - back up first. Use the 183.46.10 one, and if you want to unlock your BL, DO NOT TAKE THE OTA TO 183.46.15! I SAY IT AGAIN, DO NOT UPDATE TO 183.46.15!!

OK thanks will check the thread when I get home. Some of the links probably just don't show up on mobile in fact can't follow the link to Web view from phone. Thanks again for the help ☺
[Droid RAZR M General] elevatorguy:
Just reread if I understand it correctly I don't need kk just the firmware. . . If I'm understanding it correctly
[Droid RAZR M General] AndyYan:
Huh? The firmware's version is KitKat. You need the full firmware to be on KitKat and unlock your bootloader.

Bonus info: after upgrading to KitKat and unlocking, if you find KitKat's battery performance isn't satisfactory, you can always downgrade back to Jelly Bean using the guide in General section, and because this will not relock your bootloader, you're safe to do this.

If you have any trouble doing the above, read through the guide and other forum posts, and if no answer comes up, feel free to ask.

I wrote that the wrong way. What I mean is the firmware file listed is a 750mb file. For my m8 the 4.4.4 firmware update was only 24mb. This leads me to believe that this file includes a kk rom to go along with the firmware. Read a little more(light bulb went on) I thought firmware and roms were always two separate things. . . Duh now I understand why just the one file is needed. I will give this a shot when I get up. Thanks for the help again. Sorry I was asking the wrong question ☺

Ha, he hasn't unlocked his BL yet, so just let him upgrade and do it. After unlocking BL he can still downgrade to JB and maybe even flash CM11 for JB BL (and that's what I recommend).

[Droid RAZR M General] elevatorguy:
Thanks again for your help. Now that I'm all unlocked I've seen a lot of stuff about jb and kk bl. I would assume I have a kk bl? Then if I downgrade to jb would have a jb bootloader. Do you have a favorite kk rom and a favorite jb rom? Is downgrading any more difficult than doing all the unlocking? This phone isn't my daily driver just kinda having fun with it ☺ sorry for the barrage of questions you seem waaayyyy more knowledgeable than I. Thanks again
[Droid RAZR M General] AndyYan:
The BL version is the same as your *stock* OS version, so because you now have stock KitKat, you're on KK BL. However, BL version is *not* tied to your custom ROM OS version. You can have KitKat with JB BL as well.

Please do note that some custom ROMs are built for a specific BL (e.g. CM11 has JB BL and KK BL variants).

As for now, it seems that most if not all ROMs for KK BL have minor but annoying issues, particularly in WiFi, BT and GPS, so if you want to avoid these issues, you can follow the guide in General section to downgrade to *stock* JB (in order to have JB BL - this will not relock your BL), then flash any JB BL ROM you want.

I'm always a CM fan so I load most of my devices with CM (see my signature), but if your RAZR is also a secondary device, you can try all the choices out there without worries, so why not? ;)

Thanks for the info. I'm still very new to all this the only phone I've really messed with is my m8 it's just roms and firmware. People like you make it a joy to learn and figure this stuff out. Thanks again
[Droid RAZR M General] elevatorguy:
One last question I forgot. Can you use adb with this phone or only mfastboot I ask cause that program seems to hate me ?
[Droid RAZR M General] elevatorguy:
Didn't know if you had seen this but seems like an easy way to go back and forth between roms and bl's http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/50096-how-tomobile-downgrader-flash-back-10-09-14-14/ seems almost to good to be true. What do you think?
[Droid RAZR M General] AndyYan:
Hmm, what do you intend to do? If it's flashing something in the AP Fastboot mode (e.g. boot logos, raw partition images) then no ADB. Custom recoveries and the OS itself accepts ADB commands pretty well, provided that you know how to use.

Looks good. Since you have a unlocked BL, there's near zero risk for trying anything (RSD's your best friend when everything fails) - go ahead if you feel adventurous.
[Droid RAZR M General] elevatorguy:
Since I don't know what boot logost and raw partitions are don't think I'll need it. I know enough about adb to be dangerous ☺ I can usually bumble fk my way through and get it to work. Thanks again I'll give some of this stuff a shot and have you on speed dial if I really mess up
[Droid RAZR M General] :
Recent OTA will permlock the bootloader. Better pick earlier Kit Kat ROM from sbf-developers.com and flash with RSD Lite.

I used Towelroot and AutoRec to root and install custom recovery on my G2.

Software version is VS98024A.

I'm selling my phone tomorrow so I need to factory reset it. Root can stay, if possible. Will factory resetting it with TWRP custom recovery installed on it brick my phone or remove the stock OS?

How can I safely factory reset?

I never did change the OS/ROM. It's still stock everything minus some bloatware was deleted and Xposed was installed.

Reminder, I am on stock VS98024A software.

[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
Follow the restore to stock guide in the general section.
[Verizon LG G2] 4ringsa6:
You can just perform a factory restore from trwp. Make sure to check all the criteria. Not just cache. This way, the phone is wiped clean but root remains. If you don't want root and completely stock, do what the post above me said.

---------- Post added at 04:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 AM ----------

Also if you take the TWRP route make sure you don't wipe os lol
[Verizon LG G2] RBarnett09:
The above suggestion won't work... I'm on 24A and there's not a 24A.tot file.

I want to keep root... just want to factory reset so they can start it clean.

So it's safe to factory reset while on the stock OS in TWRP? Check everything except which ones?

Wipe data?

Wipe cache?

Wipe dalvik?

While system?

Wipe internal storage?

I'd imagine wiping data, cache, dalvik cache would be what all I needed to wipe? Wiping system would obviously be bad but wiping internal storage would be a bad idea also? Since AutoRec and Towelroot may have modified these changes for root and custom recovery in this internal storage space?

[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
You would want to wipe everything but system if you want to make sure you clean off everything you may have hanging around on the "sd card." also.

So wipe internal storage also?

You're sure this won't affect Towelroot or AutoRec and brick or softbrick?

All that does is wipe the storage considered to be your sd card storage. Your other option is plug it into a PC and delete anything you don't want left on that space.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wally18324:
Just curious is there a Android 4.4.4 update available now for Galaxy S5, S4, Note 3. Read an article on it. If so can we get more info on it..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ram9200:
Check sprint note 3 and sprint gs5
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] topherk:
What was the article you read on this? The Sprint variety of the Note 3 got the NH7 (4.4.4) update about a month ago.

If you're looking for another update to the NH7, I haven't heard of any.

If you're looking to update to NH7, you can either do the OTA method (or use KIES, if that floats your boat), or you can head over to this thread and use ODIN to flash it onto your device. Be sure to follow the directions very carefully, as a number of people have done "half complete" flashes of the update. The typical culprit in this is using the Mobile ODIN version (which can't flash the updated bootloader) or by not completely powering off the phone before entering Download Mode (going into download mode from the extended "power off" menu doesn't always work correctly with this update).

Hope this helps!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wally18324:
this is where I read the article, http://www.christiantoday.com/ Android 4.4.4 update available now for Galaxy S5, S4, Note 3. I already have the 4.4.4 nh7 update I thought it was an update on the nh7.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] topherk:
Looking into the Christianity Today article (Dated Oct. 29th), it appears that they got their information from this Android Origin article (Dated Oct. 24th). While I don't know how trustworthy AndroidOrigin is as a news source (from the looks of it and from the few articles that I've read through on there), as there appears to be a lot of speculation in their articles. It also appears that they are working on outdated information, as the article writer doesn't seem to know about the Sprint NH7 update.

I would chalk it up to just poor investigative reporting on both the part of CT and AO. Sprint Note 3s are currently on the 4.4.4 NH7 update and probably won't receive any content/usability updates until 5.0 lollipop drops, save for security updates.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wally18324:
seeing it was published on Oct. 29th, I thought it was an update to 4.4.4. Thanks for the clarification.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] topherk:
I'm honestly surprised that CT did such a poor job on their article... It seems like they mostly just summarized other articles, but left out some key parts and didn't link their sources. The Latin Post article(dated Oct. 24) that CT mentions talks about the lengthy process that applying TW is to stock Android and they emphasize the lengthy process that carrier integration is (although, the article that LP references is dated March 2013, so whether or not those timeframes are still applicable can be called into question).

This is my main gripe with online "news" publications... Unless they cite their resources in a very clear manner, you have no idea where they get their information from. Not only that, but they don't want to, because then astute readers would see that their just paraphrasing (often incorrectly) the original articles. The CT article didn't give a single link to the LP or AO articles. I had to do some google-fu to find them. It also appears that the writer didn't even do a simple Google Search for "Note 3 Android 4.4.4," they would've been pointed to this article, which clearly states that Sprint got the update out in mid-September. Now, there are carriers (and international Note 3s) that are just recently getting 4.4.4, but CT fails to mention this.

Sorry for my rant about online news sites, I just have been thinking about how sensational headlines trump any actual investigation. And not to mention that there's little-to-no accountability. Very few sites post retractions, and if they do, they're drowned out by the other 50 sites (that don't offer retractions) that copied the original post. I don't know what the best system of online news is, but it's definitely not what we currently have.

I'm using tasker for a while now.

I was using tasker with my previous phone, and I use the same profiles with the same settings on my LG G3 now.

And everything still works great.

So I think that the problem has to do with your settings in tasker, and not with the LG G3.
