Tried the last build of SK Tools to benchmark unlocked Extended ROM. It hung in the middle. After soft reset, the phone hung on the HTC splash screen, WM splash will not show up. Hard reset restored phone boot, but unlocking the Extended ROM leaded to the same hang.

I've downloaded a version of my ROM, and, using the tools and instructions from Wiki, extracted extended ROM nb, and created an NBH containing only Extended ROM. Flashed it using SSPL from MicroSD. Then restored the latest backup and the phone is up and running again!

All was done using Windows 98SE computer, so no ActiveSync working.

So, this is one more reason why phone may hang on HTC boot screen that is not in the Wiki.

I just wonder what does the number (700 to replace 900) in the text file to pass to nbhgen mean, but it work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mshagg:
I had a similar thing, the phone hung whilst writing something to extended ROM. It would then not go past the HTC splash. Like you, i got a bit nervous when i realised this wasnt addressed in the wiki!

I took a slightly different approach, using mtty.exe and 1.01mfg bootloader to flash a new extended rom to the appropriate address. Let out a real cheer when i saw the windows mobile splash appear!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Arktronic:
Could one of you add this to the wiki perhaps?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Header type for ExtROM inside NBH file is 0x700 for Hermes, 0x900 for Trinity.

See here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=NBH_headertypes
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mshagg:
Would love to contribute!

But which section? This isnt an upgrading problem per-se... its more to do with writing to the Extended Rom and dramas which arose because the phone hung whilst doing so.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Arktronic:
That section could be renamed to something more generic, although I'm not sure that's a good idea. For now, you could just add it in there, it's possible to come up with a reason for it being an "upgrade" ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mshagg:
OK, ive put it on the problems page, under "other problems".

Have never edited a Wiki before, please feel free to dress it up a little (i.e. i dont know how to turn words into links to other wiki pages, nor do i understand how formatting works etc etc).

Cheers

Hi guys,

I'm currently running stock 11S. I've been patiently waiting for the official Cyanogen/OnePlus 12S LP release, but in light of the recent events between the two companies, I believe it'll take a while.

Anyways... There are plenty of LP-based roms here on XDA. Which one do you guys believe is the best and most stable for my main and only device?

Thanks in advance
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amd-dude:
I guarantee no one will reply cause you asked for a 'best rom'. but just to help you out I've heard that this:

http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-cm11-temasek-build-t2870743

Is the most stable rom. Just read the last 10 pages of most of the LP roms and you'll usually find people talking about stability etc.

Previously to create a Odin flashable package you need a Linux distribution.

So I created this light and simple application to do the job easily.

To create a package compatible with Odin is necessary UStar(Uniform Standard Tape ARchive)

compression by POSIX, Android does not support this type of compression, So it was necessary

to use the original GNU tar cross-compiled to ARM.

I created this application after my device(I9070) has come into loop after flash a kernel

under development. The recovery of my device is not in a reserved partition

but with the ramdisk, if the kernel does not run the recovery does not work.

Not wanting to install a firmware because it would lose my data, I had to create a functional

kernel flashable by Odin using a Linux distribution.

Features

Create any single package, it is of a kernel, recovery, etc.

Create multiple files in one package like firmware.

Generate MD5 for package to Odin check.

Requirements

Any device running Android 4.1.2+

Latest busybox and Root.

Changelog

Get it on DOWNLOAD page.

If you need something to dump your partitions, can use my UAPM application.

How to use Odin Package Creator?

First you need the file you want to create the package, for example a Kernel,

You need to rename your file to the same name on the firmware. If your device

kernel has the name "kernel.bin" in the firmware, you need to rename your file

to "kernel.bin" and create the package using that name.

How to create "firmware" using Odin Package Creator?

Create a folder and place the files inside, Open the application and choose to create

a multiple package, select all files in the folder and give an output name. Remember to

use the same file names that are in the firmware!

Invalid Package on Odin

Invalid package happens when the error in package name, for example if the

kernel of your device is called "kernel.bin.md5" on firmware you should use

"kernel" as output, For if you leave "kernel.bin.md5" the output will be

"kernel.bin.md5.tar.md5" and Odin will accuse invalid package.

Error installing binary

This error can happen when the application can not read the sdcard or when you can

not mount the /system partition. Share log(located in /sdcard/OdinCreator/Common/outputs.txt)

here to me solve the problem on your device.

Eg.MODEM,PDF etc
[Android Apps and Games] mai77:
use case ?

how about a non-wiping stock rom ? it preserves /data

usually people have the ROM image on hard disk from where they can extract kernels , boot.img, ... asf. maybe quicker than with an app , no ?

This application does not flash odin packages as Mobile Odin. This application is used only to create Odin packages.

Yes, you can create a complete firmware with Odin Package Creator and install using Odin/Mobile Odin.
[Android Apps and Games] :
At that time I was using a custom ROM.

I created a package using own ROM Kernel. Remembering that my device did not enter the recovery, for he uses the recovery from the ramdisk.

This varies depending on the situation.

Sent From S3 USER

Thank you so much for tool with apk file work direct with devices !! but on S3 devices it has big size that odin can't flash !! if u can please make the loop size for some devices has different system type of back up method to work !!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Did you say that the S3 packages are of big size?

No matter the size of the package, what matters is the tree of the package, if all files are properly renamed as the FAQ. While the compression loop depends on the processing speed of your device, if you want to create a custom firmware using Odin Package Creator you need a fast device, Otherwise may take a while. Today I will do some testing with different package sizes in a fast device (Snapdragon 800) and a simpler device (Dual-Core Generic) to get a more precise information.

Was it you wanted to say?:confused:

Hi,

Using Magisk for root on RR 5.8.5 Android 7.1.1 on Samsung i9305.

Installed OPC v1.3 and allowed root access and installed busybox.

Trying to create tar from boot.bin previously extracted from stock firmware. Also patched using Magisk Manager versions. So I can root my Tablet with Magisk same as my S3 LTE phone.

Anyway getting to reason for this comment for help.

I have entered the boot.img file from either internal memory or from directory on extsd card.

Every file is created and stored as expected. The created tar.md5 is added to filename entered. Used single file option. Problem is newly created version is ALWAYS 0 B.

Therefore failed with every try. Reinstalled app downloaded again and installed and allow superuser access to app. SAME RESULT 0, but file name correct each time .

Have added log for viewing and comment.

Hope you can help.

I went swimming with my ssw3 earlier today, it was never below 30cm and i had showered with it earlier that week, but ever since my swim it doesn't turn on. It has been charging for 3 hours now but still doesn't work :/
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Calvin Gross:
I didn't have the courage to put it under the water. I mean the water-protected IP68 is not equal to waterproof...

The 2nd number 8 means it shall be protected under 2 meters water for 60 mins, your watch could survive theoretically in your case. But unfortunately, I'm afraid that it was damaged physically...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Zyner:
It was only for lile 40 mins and it wasnt in the water the whole time :/ should i just replace?

Probably solved the problem. I don't know why but, also if in charge, my watch reached 0% on battery, so it wasn't unable to load up. This morning tried to turn it on, and in the few second it turned on (in the bootlogo), i put it into charge. Now seems to work but that's quite strange because yesterday i put it on charge when it was about 10% :eek:

[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Winkie_Winkus:
Okay, so heres my story.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Light, SGH-T339N from the local Metro PCS Store, and yeah, it had a 4 for 100 dollars plan, and used Metro PCS networks.

A few days ago, with my phone rooted, and all working fine, I installed the stupid app called Chainfire 3d.

So yeah, it bricked my phone.

Me, being Mr. Dumbass, performed a factory reset, and wiping everything.

Well guess what.

My entire OS and every freaking thing was wiped.

So yeah, I turned to the internet for help.

I followed all of the instructions here:

http[colon]//androidforums.com/threads/guide-restore-your-galaxy-light-to-stock-mja[dot]846767/

And guess what, it turned my phone into a T-Mobile phone. Now, its saying No Sim Inserted, and I can't make any calls or texts, even though my SIM is perfectly valid and everything. It was working fine!!! Now I don't know what to do.

So to sum everything up, I'm stuck with a T-Mobile Phone and OS with a bunch of crap T-Mobile apps and stuff, (which used to be a MetroPCS phone and OS with MetroPCS apps), and a MetroPCS SIM card.

So what I'm thinking is that I need a Metro PCS, Samsung Galaxy Light, SGH-T339n stock rom with all of the Metro PCS stuff, so my SIM can start working on the phone.

So I would be VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY Happy if someone provided to me a file or link or something to restore my phone to its factory defaults so my perfectly valid SIM can start working on the phone and connect to the networks again!

Once again, I need a Samsung Galaxy Light SGH-T339N that runs on Metro PCS networks or has Metro PCS apps and stuff stock rom.

STOCK ROM

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING, I'M REALLY VERY DESPERATE AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED

I emailed Samsung last week asking for the Metro PCS firmware for the Samsung Galaxy Light. They just posted it on their page today. Here is the link: sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-T399N/

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

i know that it says T-Mobile but it is clearly the Metro PCS firmware. I can confirm that it works. After downloading follow these instructions:

Instructions

Extract (unzip) the firmware file

Download Odin v3.09

Extract Odin zip-file

Open Odin v3.09

Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)

Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin

Add the firmware file to AP / PDA

Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked

Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes

Everything seems to be mostly for the T-Mobile device and not for the MetroPCS.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] KageBeast:
Nothing fishy about sammobile. Just a site that hosts official samsung firmware. Download speeds are just incredibly slow., but sammobile now has the stock rom for the metropcs version that you can flash. I assume since he flashed the t-mobile stock rom that he could just flash the metropcs stock rom through odin and it would fix everything.

Well yeah since the phone was available for t-mobile before metro. Luckily cm12 will be for both versions.

Cyanogenmod is a well known custom rom that can be flash with most android devices. 12 is one of the more recent versions. There's a build for the galaxy light but it's incomplete and still has bugs. Doubt it will ever be finished since development on this phone is low.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NighthawkXL:
Sorry, the Verizon, and AT&T variants of the Galaxy S4 bootloaders cannot be unlocked at the moment. For the time being it will be impossible for us to install Lollipop until the official firmware release by Samsung. However, if you have a older S4 it *may* have the loki vulnerability which let's you bypass the locked bootloader. Check your About Phone and see if your running MDB or MDL.

No dice for running Lollipop ROM's yet, however you should able to install Safestrap 3.75 and use custom 4.4.2 (and a few 4.4.4) TouchWiz-based ROM's that are floating around the forum. Poke around the threads in both the AT&T and Verizon subforums to find more information.
