[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Gromet:
Hey there all...

I used this board to help me when I had first gotten my 8125. I used one of your updated ROMS and upgraded my 8125 and loved it. My 8125 ran better and more stable than ever.

I just picked up an 8525 the other day. the first thing I did was come back to the XDA forum to get some info on what you boys had cooked up as the latest and greatest offering for this device.

I have to say I have never been more confused...

Like I said, the phone is only about three days old.

ROM Version: 1.34.502.1

ROM Date: 09/21/06

Rasdio Version: 1.16.00.00

Protocol Version: 32.53.7018.01H

Please give me some direction, is there a better update I can do to this for better speed, battery, features, signal etc...????

Do I need to do any unlocks, loader changes etc??? I have ready through threads for the last three days. Read the Wiki etc. I know you are developers/enthusiasts who know what you are doing with this stuff, but for the general person who knows a bit but is far from an expert on these matters, this forums is a nightmare...

I am really lost and have never seen these forums more confusing than they are right now...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
So there is no need for you to upgrade your 3 days old device, keep it as it is, and read and learn if you want to understand the "nightmare" :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sub69:
As a Hermes Noob, but a relatively experienced Universal user I've struggled a bit too, but for a crash course:

First of all make your device SuperCID. Read here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SimUnlock

Then read this Wiki page very carefully: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootloaderMFG and follow the instructions to the letter.

This second link will tell you how to change to Bootloader "1.01MFG". It also tells you how to extract the various components (OS, ExtROM, Splashscreen) from a manufacturer's ROM using "NBHExtract.exe", and the commands necessary to flash each extracted part to your device seperately, using mtty.exe.

As ever, don't do anything unless you're 100% sure of what you're doing! Read everything at least a dozen times and make sure you know what you're about to do BEFORE you do it!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Gromet:
It seems I have Bootloader 1.06...

What does this mean as far as my upgrading abilities???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] .VIBE:
You can't do anything with it. google for downgrade_spl and download it. Put your device in bootloader mode, and run the program.

and then you must READ THE WIKI!!!!

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tycoonbob:
So when my Z3 is submersed in water, it acts like I just plugged in headphones. I'm guessing something is wrong here?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
The feature works but sensing a short across the terminals, what would happen when you connect headphones. Water is conductive causing a short across the terminals causing the phone to think headphones are connected.

Two things you can do;

Turn off the application that runs when you connect the headphones.

Turn on touch block when you go to use the phone in water, then you can only use the normal camera buttons.

I have just purchased a phone protector that comes with a plug for the headphones jack, a feature I really like because my previous phone ended up with a fair bit of corrosion in there even though they were not used in water a lot.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_negative16:
Thats why you have the touch block option
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tycoonbob:
Well, I got the phone replaced at a Tmo store this past Saturday. The replacement phone lasted two days, and it just fell about 1.5 inches and shattered the front screen (I placed the phone face down on top of a folded washcloth on the counter -- phone slid off the washcloth and landed on counter shattering).

Sure, this could have been avoided, but I have never had a phone shatter like this on me and this is quite disappointing. Not sure if I should exchange for a new Z3, or find something different. Gah..
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pizzaferret:
So after the announcement of 44S I figured I'd make a backup of my current 38r build, apps, contacts, data, system, blah blah blah. But before hitting backup in the twrp recovery menu, i wanted to delete some older backups. I don't know what happened (pressed wrong button I guess)but instead of deleting them, it started restoring the backup and in the middle of twrp installing or restoring (w/e) an old backup I held the power button because I didn't want to lose my data. I think twrp was in the middle of like deleting the boot.img? or restoring it. The problem I'm having now is fastboot isn't working. I can get to the bootloader screen but when I connect the phone to computer and I try to do any fastboot commands, it just stays stuck on 'waiting for device'

And it stays there, so I can't flash anything.

If I type in fastboot flash boot boot.img

Just perpetually stays on waiting for device

I was thinking if someone could make a backup on their One with twrp and just backup the Boot part and put it up on dropbox. Would I be able to adb push their backup onto my One and restore that

Or if I can make a boot.img zip file that I can install from twrp recovery, but I'm not sure how to compile that.

I got as far as putting the boot.img alongside some meta-inf folder and deeper in the folder directory I have the updater-script and I'm not if I have the update-binary correct.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
First things first: never, ever hard reset your phone (or pull the cable) during a nandroid restore, or any kind of firmware update, or anything like that. Seriously, you're super lucky you didn't completely brick your device completely.

Next, I'm assuming you can still access TWRP. Do you not have any backups still on the device? If not, exactly which build of CM11S is currently installed on your device?

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pizzaferret:
Yes I can still access TWRP, I WAS in a perpetual boot screen stall, where when you start the phone and the boot animation for the oneplus company comes out, but it doesn't load the next part of the animation. Like the square and the "1" is there. But it doesn't continue the animation to the next part where the cyanogen logo comes out and starts spinning. So basically the phone doesn't boot up all the way and I gotta hard reset + volume down to get into TWRP. When I went into TWRP there was one backup to restore but it only had system and data and options to restore. The boot part got erased? I'm missing like boot.emmc.win and boot.emmc.win.md5.

Before I hard resetted during the nandroid restore, I had 38R installed on my device.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
So the backup that you have, which version is that for? I have backups for every version of CM11S so I can upload the boot for you as long as I know which version you need.

Ok, so I bought this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251696257910?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

It said that it is T-mobile version, unlocked and rooted. (I am from UK btw)

before, I started this thread because I was suspicious that it was fake - http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/help/fake-note-3-t2930662

Now my question is where do I start with it to put custom roms on? At first when I got the phone I checked with app called "Root checker" it said that it is rooted but now after Samsung update I think it was, it says "Sorry! This device does not have proper root access"

Also I am not sure where to start because of the

weird kernel

that is on the device.

I attached some screens about the info I gathered about the "Note3"

ps. I have rooted my galaxy s3 in the past but that was from scratch..

and then it just turns on and all works fine but ships the "recovery" that I wanted to enter...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smartxdev:
Nice trick!

However, I've noticed that the preferences .XML files are reset to the original values once the application relaunches. So, basically, the changes do not stick.

Any workaround on this?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bexton:
That's kind of odd, since the script explictly restarts the Whatsapp package *after* applying the changes to the prefs xml. Which then, in turn, should result in no result at all (assuming a restart rewrites the xml), right!? But it does work. Now, the first question would be how you define restart (activity (re)launch, package force && start)?

Update: Just checked it and you're right. If I use the -S option on the am start call (to force stop Whatsapp before (re)starting the activity), running script has no effect at all - since the XML is being recreated. And that also means, that the change will gets lost with every device reboot.

The easiest solution I see here, to have a "permanent" effect, to wrap the script in a plain simple app and attach it an onboot service. (Also, looking at #4, some further checks should be added.) If Whatsapp will leave this current implementation of defining whether to send read receipts or not, I'll invest the time into an app version, I think. (Just don't want to have too much hustle with it. So want to wait whether it's worth to spend more time on this.) Thoughts?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dj Mauro:
hi, i have this problem:

can you fix it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smartxdev:
I had permission error too.

In the terminal, try to first run "su" command (without the quotation marks), it will obtain root permissions for the terminal.

Then run the actual command. That solved the permission error for me.

Actually it never worked for me (I mean, script ran successfully, but i have no success in disabling the "read recipient" when i tested it).

Then, I tried to do it manually:

- make a backup copy of the target file (/data/data/com.whatsapp/shared_prefs/com.whatsapp_preferences.xml)

- and then set: "read_receipts" to value="0" in the original file

- save it

- and when i open whatsapp app again, the XML file is restored to the older values, and the "backup" copy gets erased.

And for the "restart" question, i tried the following:

1 - swipe the app away from the recents, make XML modifications, and relaunch

2 - kill the app, make XML modifications, and run it again

I also tried to set XML file permissions to read-only, but it still was replaced by original config. once i opened the app.

-----

I was thinking about another workaround:

Since the read receipt (and delivery too) is usually done by transmitting a small message by the application, back to the sender, once the conversation window is opened.

It may be possible to just block this outgoing communication on your side by XPrivacy.

But, i have yet to hunt down the specific permission/address to block, without crippling the app..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bexton:
As a quick fix, this should work for you:

1.) Add the following line above the line with the sed command:

mount -o rw,remount /data

2.) Change the last line of the script to the following (if it still compains replace the user id value in the command with that from the error message. and if it still complains, it might even work when you just comment out the line):

echo `am start --user -2 -n com.whatsapp/com.whatsapp.Conversation`

3.) Back in the console again, login as root (su, enter) and run the script.

Let me know if it worked.

As said in my update to post #3, I'll probably add some automatisms for such issues soon.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hova1888:
Bexton Tnx !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ather:
how about an xposed module?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bexton:
I guess that'd be possible too. Just that I never looked into it yet. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smartxdev:
Thanks, [MENTION=4273402]Bexton[/MENTION] for your detailed explanation.

Manual editing by Turbo Editor did the work for me.

I tested it, and the blue check marks were indeed blocked.

And btw, Turbo Editor has a nice "recent files" list on the startup, so reediting of the parameter on restart should be simple and easy.

Then, i did Restart (full restart to the device), and.... ...it still holds!

The parameter in the XML is unchanged and read notifications are still blocked :)

So, it made me wonder, why it didn't work for me before? I used ES Text Editor to edit the XML, it was fine, but then i made a backup copy somewhere inside the /data/data/com.whatsapp/ folder. And I think that "foreign" file caused full rewrite of the xml files by the app.

I hope it may hold permanently, but, we'll see..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Th3Zer0:
Ahoy everyone!

We're 2 students from the University of Milan who created a repository [https://github.com/phosphore/whatsapp-blue/wiki]

for an Android app with the aim of getting rid of those blue ticks. We're currently

considering and testing out all the possible solutions including the modification

of com.whatsapp_preferences.xml (as found by [MENTION=4273402]Bexton[/MENTION]) or the filtering of the TCP

packet responsible for the read receipt.

Although using Bexton's method greatly simplifies the solution, it is just a

temporary workaround before Whatsapp fixes it.

Having a proxy filtering the requests should be a permanent solution. We are

reverse engineering FunXMPP (WA proprietary protocol) to find that particular request.

We're open to contribution! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bexton:
Some editors use a similar internal workflow as GNU's sed in -i mode and without the c switch. Resulting in "corrupted" files (in the sense of ownership & contex)..

Could you hook up via email? I'm working on an app as well and currently considering the possibilities. Maybe it's worth sharing thought.. Please send to eyecatchup+xda@gmail.com, thanks!

Looks like this thread will be obsolete very soon. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smartxdev:
Nice!

I think whatsapp(facebook?) expected this to come, they already had some bad experience with the "last seen" issue some time ago.

And it is already implemented as a simple switch inside XML prefs...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bexton:
Hm, maybe I was wrong and it will not become obsolete. Maybe I will still build an app for it. Why? I found more news on the matter, that pointed out a major difference to me.

The same person who confirmed the additon of the on/off toggle for the read receipts, Ihlan Pektas, actually blogged about the feature already a few days ago. The essential information given in his blog post here (in German language) for me is, that he says that early alpha builds already have an implementation for it, and when you disable sending your read status (so that others can't see if you've read a msg), you will, in return, NOT be able to see the read status of your chat partners! (What makes perfectly sense, becausee it's the same way they do it for the "last seen" status.)

That being said, I think there'll be interest in an alternative. An alternative that is capable of disable sending one's own read status, while still being able to see the read status for one's own msgs, sent to others?!

Well, we'll see. (But the party ain't over yet.. ;))
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hocgwai:
Thanks Bexton. Tried your manual method with ES File Explorer, without making a backup, and it works. Even survives a full reboot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smartxdev:
I see your point, but to make this happen, we need to look at another approach. Because, now we disable it by the pretty obvious flag in the pref. file, and once they release a "feature" it will be probably the same flag that will cause you not the deliver read receipts either.

The thing is, that in fact I barely use whatsapp, for various reasons. I'm here to help some non-techie friends of mine.

Anyways, I use Open WhisperSystems' TextSecure mostly (less polished and fewer features, but free, opensource, and actually secure).

So, a short while ago, they've introduced "delivery receipts". And for some reason, only I was able to get others' delivery receipts, but when others send me messages, they didn't receive a delivery receipt from me. (That's basically what we are trying to do here, just with read receipts)

At first, I was sure there is some bug in this. But then it turned out that I tuned XPrivacy too tight on restrictions, and this new feature could not get through and send the delivery notice. (unfortunately I don't remember what exactly the troublesome restriction was)

That's why i first thought about XPrivacy for this case as well.

Logically, the mechanism here might be the same, and once we find out what activity or address to block it will do the trick without letting the app itself know about it.

And it seems like [MENTION=3543715]Th3Zer0[/MENTION] guys have the same direction in mind.

Bottom line: sounds like a good idea to find out how to "cheat" those things, and maybe build Xposed module/app on it ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chongc1996:
This seems to be the equivalent of downgrading whatsapp, letting you see blue ticks but other's cant see :P

It seems that it disables the part where you can highlight your own message and see who has seen the message though.

Working on 2.11.432.

Whatsapp just enabled a new feature a la Telegram where you can see who's typing in a group.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smartxdev:
Contradictory to my previous report, I'm noticing that over time the "read_receipts" parameter keep reverting to a original value. What's weird though is that i was unable to pinpoint when it actually happening, since it happens without any kind of full phone restart in between.

Have you ([MENTION=4273402]Bexton[/MENTION]?) any insight on it?

And by the way, as I was talking about the sadly unpopular, but security-wise superior TextSecure, this post came out: Open Whisper Systems partners with WhatsApp.

Sounds promising, but it still remains to be seen how it all gets implemented and how much of a metadata leakage will be going on, since it is very unlikely that a proprietary and closed source SW company as WhatsApp will kill their business value (which is an insight on near 700M users' data) just like that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bexton:
Just fyi: Now its official.. The most recent release version - 2.11.486 - ships with an option to disable "read receipts".
