[Xolo Q3000] avi3230:
the res folder in recovery ie merely 300-400 kb and its going to get reduce to 200 kb after recovery comilation as its getting compressed. the kernel size always matters, as it large in our phone further updates will lead to large recovery.

i already used small pics in current TWRP recovries and the size is almost 6 mb.

so even if we move these files to sd card it wont change anything cause already recovery was 6.2 mb i reduced res folder to 200 kb and removed supersuer (150kb).

so this method will give u superuser by moving res to sd card.

the superuser provided will install binary and u need to download superuser from playstore and then root, which may not work in kitkat, so i decided to remove su.

So i was behind increasing the recovery partition and make it boot which will give us fredoom to have recovery upto 12mb size but sadly it not booting when recovery is more than 6mb.

I wonder if it's possible to use FreeSCI and/or Pocket UAE on Hermes.

For who don't know these apps:

FreeSCI is a Sierra game emulator (to play games like leisure suit larry, police quest etc.)

Pocket UAE is a Amiga emulator port to pocket pc. (UAE port)

These should be working on some versions of PPC but I couldn't run them successfully on my Hermes.

Pocket UAE does not load the disk. (waits at blank screen with Amiga leds)

FreeSCI does not show my game disks in it's main screen. In it's readme , it says that I should create a folder named "\.freesci" on my Hermes but I can't create folder with "."

So, any ideas ?

So I recently bought this phone d6603 from a guy who won it from a contest from Bell... Now I wanna unlock it. But according to the "unlockers" they can't seem to get the code..

It is obvious the phone is locked with them.

What should.I do please help

[Q] Ultimate BlackXZ v.1.0.0 For Xperia Z 4.3 JB based On 10.4.1.B.0.101 FW

Hi, I would like to ask if it's Ok for me to install this ROM on my Xperia Z C6603 running stock rooted KK 4.4.4 with FW ver. 10.5.1.A.0.283. If the answer is Yes. My follow-up question is how - do II follow Instruction A or B? or is there a diff. way for me to do it?

TIA
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajeev:
Are you sure u want to flash this rom? Because its based on Android 4.3.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deathschythe33:
Rajeev,

Thanks for the reply. If I'm not mistaken you and niaboc79 - author of eXistenZ Ultimate are both eXistenZ members, rights? Or am I wrong??? Anyway. Basing on the screenshots from the Ultimate BlackXZ and Ultimate 3.0.0 I like the blackness of your ROM more. Just Black & White... on everything. Unless of course you tell me that Ultimate 3.0.0 also has the same.

To be 100% honest, what I really want is just the stock ROM on Black & White nothing. No Bloats, no branding. Just the Android OS on Black & White. I know it's possible with Xposed Theme Engine but I end up piling up a bunch of small apps I don't even know what the total size would end up with if I pile up more than a dozen X-modules just to get it to how BlackXZ or Ultimate 3.0.0 would look like and that is just for the aesthetics. You would probably add a dozen more for functionality sake. And this is why I ask if it would be Ok to flash this ROM on top of my phone's current state. Or if there a B&W 4.4.4 ROM (.283) like yours?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Juice Jones:
Hello,

I need the help of the XDA community. I'm very new to Android and Ive gotten myself in quite a bit of trouble.

I rooted my phone recently and decided to unroot the phone in order to trade with another user. In the process, my phone is wiped clean, and attempting to use RUU has left me relocked with S-On. I currently have no OS on the device. Attempting to run RUU gets no results, as I am met with Error 155 before I get any progress when the phone starts the "Sending" process. My phone will go into bootloader and it is recognized as a fastboot device by my PC, but not as an ADB device. I have the info from my bootloader menu below.

*** TAMPERED ***

*** RELOCKED ***

*** SECURITY WARNING ***

My phone is an AT&T HTC ONE M7, 32 GB. I am at a loss and I've tried researching. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] majmoz:
My guess you tried to run a RUU of a lower version than what is on your phone that is why you got the error 155. ADB does not work if there is no OS because it needs USB Debugging enabled in the OS but it works with a custom recovery like TWRP. Download the Guru Reset 5.12.502.2 and push it to your phone with the following procedure:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Juice Jones:
So I attempted to follow your instructions, got my bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed. Got the Guru Reset pushed onto my phone storage. Now I'm getting an error when trying to install. "Error Flashing zip" "E: Unable to mount '/cache' " "E: Unable to mount '/data/ " "E:Unable to mount storage. "

Not sure where to go from here.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] majmoz:
Are you using TWRP 2.6.3.3? If not, flash it first.

In TWRP under Wipe, there’s an Advanced Wipe menu. Go there and select Data, format the partition. Downside you will have to push the Guru Reset back to the phone.

First you must unlock your Prime, install correct bootloader (depending the rom you choose), install custom recovery,... There are some nice guides here on XDA ;)

Hey you guys so my fiancee got her less than 24 hour note 4 soaking wet from her Co worker. .. long story anyways she dried it off right away, and unfortunately didn't know to not turn it on, until you soak it in rice.. so she turned it on after being dried off by a towel, it booted up and went to lock screen, when she unlocked it, it turned off and she couldn't get it back on, so I told her the rice trick, we tried it 7 hours after.. no dice, then 12 hours later she got it to Samsung note 4 boot screen and boot looped, once unplugged. . Wouldn't work. then 24 hours later we got the phone to boot without charger, but again it went into boot loop, tried going into recovery to factory reset, but it just said booting into recovery, then reset and went into boot loop, i could get into download mode.. but idk what I can do with that, besides download the current firmware and use Odin to push it. so my question is there anything I can do or should do? Or should I just send it into insurance? Any help is much appreciated thanks in advance

P.s. it's not rooted.. but I feel like that doest matter too much, unless I rooted it and got cwm on the phone to factory reset it
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uniquebarbee:
Does your insurance cover water damage. It sounds like the water has not fully dried out of the phone. TWRP would be better but since your not rooted knox not tripped see if they will let you send it in .If you flash stock with odin and it contiues to reboot the water is messing with it

Telus

According to the model number XT1097 the telus model is sold in a number of countries. There really isn't any carrier specific software on this phone. Only place telus is shown is in the APN settings.

Coming from the Galaxy S4 which was also 16gb I really like this phone. It doesn't have a SD card but I didn't really use the SD card I had in the S4 other than for music.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxxshadow:
Do you think it is worth it for me to buy the pure edition or the Telus one?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gage_Hero:
If money is no object then the pure edition might be something to look at provided your going to go to a 32gb phone. So far my understanding between the XT1097 and the pure edition is only storage capacity difference and unlocked boot loader but I did read in the development section that someone with a XT1097 used the same method to unlock his boot loader on the Telus model which means it only comes down to having extra storage. If anyone knows of other differences please tell us.

The other way to decide is look at your current phone and if you still have enough storage capacity on it then the Telus one should work for you.

Its a good choice

I have been on ios for the last 5 years or so, bought the telus bamboo yesterday and i have already unlocked and rooted. The forum for me as a new android user was pretty strait forward and easy to comprehend and the pure method did indeed do the trick on my xt1097. If you are still undecided, i would recommend it and can testify to the effectiveness of the pure method as well as its ease.

With not a whole lot of convincing, I talked them into an additional incentive on a 2 yr so I not only didn't pay for it, but ended up with a negative balance on my bill. hehe

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] texasaggie1:
Dear Microsoft,

I am writing this letter to ask permission for Xda-developers.com and it's users to officially use, develop, and share the new Wizard WM6 roms on this site. I know that you are currently not allowing us to do so. I believe it is in your best interest to let us. Here is why:

1) User Testing - allowing us to develop and share the WM6 rom for the wizard will open your product to a huge amount of testing. On this site, we don't just use our phones, we push them hard. We love to see the most we can get out of them. We get bored with what we have, so we load a new rom and see what it can do. 3 days later we load another. You will not find a better place on the Internet to test your roms.

Also, it will allow us to test compatibility with new and existing software. This site is already reference material for most software developers and even HTC. In our never-ending search for information about these devices we find things such as tricks to make them better, security holes, and all sorts of information that 3rd party companies can use.

All of this work is done by volunteers who, although they may gripe from time to time, feel a sense of satisfaction for doing this work. You can't buy their level of loyalty.

2) Goodwill - Allowing us to use, develop and share the WM6 rom will create a massive amount of goodwill on this site for your company. Since you are the biggest player in the game, you are currently subject to TONS of criticism everywhere you turn. People usually see you as this huge faceless corporation that wants to control people and take their money. I read the blogs of Microsoft employees and know this is really not the case. Allowing us to work on this rom openly will create goodwill that no ad campaign can buy.

3) Money - The bottom line is that you will save money. Money that might be spent on research will be saved by free research on this site. Money spent on ads to generate goodwill will be saved by the goodwill generated on this site.

I appreciate your consideration of this matter. Please let us know of your decision.

Sincerely,

texasaggie1

Great Letter Aggie. I would think the MS resposne would be pretty good about this. MS has been pretty good with other technologies lately in opening it up and taking feedbacks from users.

One thing is for sure. THERE IS NO OTHER PLACE BETTER THAN HERE TO TEST/TWEAK/BETTER WINDOWS MOBILE.

We do have a vast number of volunteers here that do a helluva job in making these roms faster and better.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] rizzo:
What makes you think they aren't doing this already?

Where do you think this 'leaked' version originated from, anyway? And why is it literally painless to install?

MS has employees who actively troll this group (among others) to get feedback..good and bad...for their "pre-release" warez. They just lurk in the shadows (rightfully so, speaking up would make them the whipping boys of the forum...)

Since the hardware mfr and/or the service provider of the device is the one who decides whether or not to 'upgrade' your device with the latest and greatest OS (based heavily on whether or not they want to support multiple s/w versions) MS can't make any money off simply selling their product to the end user. Unlike the PC model of selling you a retail boxed version of a new operating system for your PC.

No money to be made = no money to be lost. Think about it.

All that being said, the most important thing to remember is that they will ACTIVELY shut down any site hosting their software without their permission. If they fail to enforce their copyrights by legal means, it further weakens any argument in future lawsuits regarding others who pirate their software. They will also quickly piss off the likes of t-mobile, cingular, and other service providers if they provide the end-user a means of bypassing their process of certifying the stability of their phones.

They will continue to operate in this way for a long time. They get free beta testing from 'hardcore users' while looking the other way. It's genius if you ask me!

:)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] BA_Flash_GOD:
!! Sweet !!

I would be very suprised if they gave this consideration, they will wait for the 'next gen' devices up to come to release it on in my opinion.

Besides we must face it, most people that are using these phones these days do not flash their device, nonetheless, know what it is.

We are the few flashing samurai that cannot live with a stock rom, and want to "juice" our hardware to get our money's worth. \m/

I will say If you live in the US now you will see that parents are buying their teenage kiddies smartphones/ppcs now for a couple reasons. 1) To ward off an appl music/video product, and of course. 2) To be able to reach them anywhere with the phone service.

It would have been funny to say that most people on this site are using/have used the wm6 leak already, so we might as well work together for free, for a learning purpose.

They need more of this for WM device settings...
