A bit more about Git

If like me, you know nothing about Git, then this bit of the guide is for you. If you have basic understanding this will be too simple for you and you'll have to skip this bit and look elsewhere. If you have a basic understanding of any version control software you won't need this either as the necessary commands to complete the next step will be self explanatory.

Jump to the next stage here

Git is a version control system. To understand what it does at a most basic level follow these steps

# mkdir git_test
# cd git_test
# git init

Tell git who you are. You don't need the inverted commas, just an email address and a name. Keep this information for when/if you open a Github account.

# git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
# git config --global user.name "Your Name"

create a text file called 'text' with a single line of text that says "This is the first line"

add this file to your git

# git add text

commit the change with a message

git commit -m "first line"

create a new branch (checkout -b both creates and makes the new branch current)

git checkout -b newbranch

edit the 'text' file by adding another line "this is the second line"

add and commit the change to git

# git add text
# git commit -m "second line"

Then examine the text file, as you might expect it looks like this

# cat text
this the first line
this is the second line

but if we now go back to the master branch and checkout THE SAME file, we get a different result

# git checkout master
cat text
this the first line

The second line is not present because it was only added to the 'newbranch' branch. This, it appears to me is the essence of git, it changes files depending on which branch you're viewing them from.

Now we're going to look at how we can use git to extract files from someone else's repository in order to get the files we want for our needs.

There are loads of guides that help you to learn more, I found this video particularly helpful.

Modifying kernels (how I got DT2W working)

Edit:- It's going to be a while before I complete this section as although I managed to build a working kernel I'm pretty sure I didn't do it the 'right' way so I'm reading the Git Pro book.

Will be back later. .. . .

Awesome guide dude. This will surely help a lot of people :D

Nice

Nice guide, wish you'd have written it a week earlier :P

Anyways, what i'd really like to know, is how to patch the Linux version properly, because my attempts lead to break the kernel in the process. Didn't get beyond 3.4.11 :/

Hope you can help me out there, buddy.

How to create a zip ?

I have been looking into this and created a kernel a few days ago. But i want to share it.

For that ill have to create a zip. I have searched for it. I think its done using anykernel template.

The issuse is can i use the certificates in the meta-inf folder and the update-binary that is 4 years old ?

Or should i just unzip a kernel , modify the script and place my boot.img.

[Nexus 4 General] KNIGHT97:
Also [MENTION=4447347]Nicknoxx[/MENTION] one can use the -b argument with git while cloning so git just downloads a single branch of the kernel source, this'll save bandwidth and time to some extent

Nice guide. I ad it to my collection. I mis the part about building the modules. For wifi and so on. I think the command is "make modules"

Maby ad some info about updating a kernel. ICS to JB. KK to LP and sow on.

How about the command to clean after building?
[Nexus 4 General] KNIGHT97:
Executing the make -j# command automatically builds your modules along with the Zimage, you'll just need to read last few lines in terminal to know the modules and where they reside

hey i heard Whatsapp Is Coming to desktop in early 2015 hope thats true :)

Just Heard WhatsApp Coming to Desktop O.o

WhatsApp is available on almost every mobile platform, including discontinued platforms like Symbian and Nokia Series 40, but has never developed a web client. New reports say WhatsApp will finally come to the desktop, after five years of availability. The new web client will use OAuth, sending a message to the mobile to verify to user on the web client.

[IMG="Whatsapp In Testing phase"]http://technews.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/whatsapp-desktop.jpg[/IMG]

Creating a web client has been on WhatsApp users wish-list for the past few years, even with the surge to mobile in developing nations, where WhatsApp is most popular. The web client should have extra functionality for the larger screen.

Facebook has taken a mobile-first approach for its newest features, but still updates the web client regularly to keep up with new features. Facebook may have pushed WhatsApp to create a web client.

WhatsApp continues to be the dominant messaging app worldwide, with 650 million active users. WeChat, LINE, Viber, Skype and various other messaging platforms are all vying for attention.

It looks like Facebook wants to split the two messaging services, having WhatsApp in Asia and Facebook Messenger in the West. The social network does not seem keen to merge the two services together.

Hi all , I got the normal OTg cable which work on most tablets the small pin cable like in the pictures below

not the head of the charger

my question is it safe on the device or do i need to get the same head of the of the charger cable?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] ShadowLea:
I'm not quite sure what you mean. Do you mean 'Is it safe to use a USB2.0 connector on a USB3.0 slot?'? In that case, the answer is 'Yes'. The tiny pin on the left side is the USB3 part, the rest is a regular USB2.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] konan2010:
yea that what I meant and am really sorry for wrong experssions, thanks a gain for your reply
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] English_Gentleman:
Yes this won't be a problem. I think the extra port bit on a USB3.0 cable is for extra bandwidth for higher speeds. But you still can use older USB2.0 chargers and preheperals in a USB3.0 port.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] SSSJDanny:
Quick question, are you using that cable for your Dualshock PS4 Remote?

I was about to post up a question about it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cdfun:
Recently got a Cingular 8525 unlocked in US.

When I was searching for the Optus network(my network provider) via the Network setting on the phone, It only showed Telstra on the list.

I am thinking of flashing the firmware.

Just wonderring if there this is one good way of solving this question. Or are there alternatives to this?

Can I actually flash a Dopod 838 Pro firmware on it?

BTW the australian version of the phone is Jasjam. if this info helps.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Arktronic:
I don't know why Optus wasn't showing, but I can tell you that you can indeed flash a Dopod ROM on your device. Please read the Upgrading forum and the wiki for more info.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cdfun:
Cingular 8525 can support ordinary GSM networks right?

Once think i know is that Telstra has the HSP...thingie.. the high speed 3G network.

Would it be possible that Cingular only recognize signals from the HSP..thingie high speed network from Telstra?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Arktronic:
Only if it's set to do so. I've never used a Cingular ROM on my Hermes, but on other devices, I know they like to restrict things. Switching to a different ROM may be helpful in that respect, in case they have restricted that.

If you decide to flash, I would recommend the following steps:

1. Flash Hard-SPL to lessen the chance of bricking your device in the future

2. Flash the 1.38.00.10 Radio ROM (latest and greatest)

3. Flash an OS-only ROM of your choice - I would recommend a WM6 ROM because the most work is being done on those at the moment, and WM6 appears to be faster than WM5.

The wiki has links to all the available Radio and OS ROMs. All the WM6 ROMs are cooked, so look in that section. The reason I am recommending a mix-and-match approach is that it allows for the most choice as well as safety. Normal ROMs from providers flash everything - bootloader, radio, OS, and ExtROM. If the flashing fails at an inopportune moment, your device could be permanently bricked. However, when flashing different parts at different times, you lessen the chance of bricking. For example, when I was flashing the WM6 ROM, the flash process suddenly froze at 22%. But it was an OS-only upgrade, so my bootloader and radio ROM remained intact, and since I flashed the Hard-SPL bootloader earlier, I was able to simply restart the flashing process, and it completed successfully.

I hope this helps. BTW, I think you're referring to HSDPA, a high-speed download upgrade to UMTS.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cdfun:
i've made the CID to SUperCID using CIDhack v3.0 from pof. (Software results said it was successfully changed CID to SuperCID)

Can I lock this SuperCID status forever?

Where can i find the OS-only ROMs? I can only see available full ROMs in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades

Is there a instruction on how to use mtty or putty? I find myself hard to follow how to enter those commands and verify certain values in bootloader. e.g. CID infomation
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fone_fanatic:
As for flashing the dopod rom on the cingular, you can do that. I have an Imate JasJam i bought overseas and i'm using it in the US with cingular. I've flashed 2 different cingular roms on it with no problems (other than the video call being disabled but thats not functioning in america.) My JasJam is SuperCID.

Hope this helps, as to not seeing the network you need, don't know whats causing that. Have you put the Band Selection to auto under phone settings?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Arktronic:
As I stated earlier, the OS-only ROMs are WM6, so look under the Cooked ROMs section. Once you've made your device SuperCID it will stay SuperCID unless something goes horribly wrong and your CID gets corrupted (which wouldn't be a problem if you have Hard-SPL)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cdfun:
First of all. I'd like to thank all the guys replied to my message. I am very happy to announce that my Cingular 8525 is now working in Australia with Optus GSM network.

Here is the steps I had:

1) using pof's "Free HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker New version v3" tool to change the CID to SuperCID

2) Because my original SPL version on the phone is 1.06. So I downloaded Cingular 1.04 firmware and upgraded via USB in bootloader mode. (I wasnt sure if i needed this step even thou I had made CID to SuperCID, but I was thinking of using Cingular 1.04 before I change it to other OS)

3) downloaded JasJam 1.04 firmware and upgraded via USB again

4) Now there is some extra options in Network Tab, most importantly there is a Band tab for user to select between GSM and WCDMA network. I then selected Optus of course...

5) Mission accomplished!

Again, Thanks guys!! thank you so much for helping me out.

Now there are several things that I am still unsure about:

1) Did I Hard-SPL the CID already using pof's "Free HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker New version v3"?

2) How can I type in commands in bootloader mode to check status? via mtty or ssh? if so, which address and port number i should connect to? what User name and PW to use.

3) The Jasjam firmware I used was "I-mate English CDL__001 1.20.305.3 07/21/06 1.20.305.104 1.07.03.10 32.41.7010.02H 14955.2.3.0 2.3 1.04 107 ". According to the specs "32.41.7010.02H " I shold have HSDPA because the number ends with a "H". But I can only select between Auto, GSM and WCDMA. So where has the HSDPA gone to?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Arktronic:
1) No. Hard-SPL is a modified bootloader flashed onto your device. It shows SPL version 1.10 Oli or the new version 2 Hard-SPL shows 1.11 Oli (I assume).

2) You must use mtty or a similar serial communications program. SSH is a completely different protocol, and has absolutely nothing to do with this. You do not need a username or password to access the Hermes through mtty.

3) HSDPA is an upgrade to UMTS. UMTS is based on WCDMA, so that is what you should choose.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Arktronic:
It's a serial communications protocol. Besides, USB=Universal Serial Bus :)

Yes, the newest LVSW ROM comes with a bootloader (1.09) and a radio ROM (1.34). People are requesting an OS-only update from him because we like to have our own BL and radio ROMs. I have a feeling he'll upload one soon, if he hasn't already.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cdfun:
If I want to flash my 8525 with the following image:

Dopod	English http://dict.leo.org/en.gif	DOPOD001	1.30.707.4 08/22/06	??	1.20.31.10	32.52.7020.00H	14955.2.3.0	2.3	1.06	107

so..two questions (maybe stupid noobie questions):

1) will my SPL be affected after I've run Hard-SPL before flashing?

2) Do I need to run Hard-SPL everytime before I flash my phone?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Arktronic:
I don't think you're getting what I'm saying. The SPL, as referred to in this context, is the bootloader. It is arguably the most important part of the firmware because it is the first thing that starts up and then loads the radio and OS components. Hard-SPL is a hacked bootloader made by xda-dev member Olipro, which forgoes certain security checks and allows us to flash ROMs we would not ordinarily be able to flash. Does that make sense so far?

Next, you're asking about an official ROM upgrade from Dopod. All official ROM upgrades (except for one, a German radio-only upgrade) include a bootloader, radio, OS, and ExtROM. So if you flash an official ROM, your current bootloader - be it Hard-SPL or anything else - will be overwritten.

That's why I think it's safer to flash individual updates instead of full ones, so that only the things you want to be overwritten will be overwritten and everything else will be as it was before.

If you flash that Dopod ROM, you will have SPL-1.06, radio 1.20, and their OS and ExtROM customizations. If you already have Hard-SPL installed, it will be overwritten by SPL-1.06.

For a ROM to be posted here, it needs to be done so by the dev and also supported here. That way we are fair to all the other developers here who are required to adhere to our rules

Hey,

Im about to visit US next week and had problems ordering the phone online.

Is there any way to buy this phone at stores? like T-Mobile or somthing?

I want to pay upfrond and use it with my SIM, im not US citizen so buying it contract base is impossible for me.

Thank you.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB112:
If TMobile has it in stock, you can buy the MB 32GB version in the store. Best Buy also sells the unlocked version for Sprint.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3viance:
....

Do you know if its possible to buy the phone without contract? i mean pay it outright?

And why cant i buy from TMobile the 64GB? i can see on their site they do sell the 64GB also...

Thank you
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaisanNYC:
Because they only sell 64gb online. I believe all carrier stores only sell 32gb in-store
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
That is correct.

Also, buying the phone from a carrier outright may not sell it to you unless you have at least one month of service with them.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3viance:
I just called on of there stores and they told me its sold unlocked (the 32gigs) and i can use it immediately with my SIM card, i asked the seller for the 64gigs and he told me to call about it to the customer care service.

I called them and they told me they can sell it but the device come locked and just after 3 month they will unlocked it...

I confuse...does the device comes locked or unlocked? or maybe it differs with the 32gigs and the 64?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qnc:
T-Mobile US has been pretty good about leaving nexus devices unlocked. As for the n6 not sure about unlock status, but I am pretty sure that they will not sell a device full price with no service. Tried before and was shot down at multiple stores for the n5. I don't think the policy has changed.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3viance:
Thats what they told me on store, they didnt mentioned any commitment to them.

But anyway, im about to buy there SIM to using for my trip (like for a month) , maybe it will be enough for them to sell me the devices?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaisanNYC:
But you will only find the 32GB in store. And remember that this is the North American varient. Depending on where you live, the phone may not get LTE when you go back home. You would be better off purchasing the international variant from somewhere in Europe or the Middle East.

It should work like this: You only need to delete the application on the phone, the "companion" wear app gets deleted after a while.

[LG G Watch R] Tonio78370:
Well I'm a bit paranoid when I uninstall stuff. Go in to the phone setup, choose Application Management (I don't know the right terms as my phone is French).
