[Samsung Gear S] SaintCrispin:
On the first Galaxy Gear my watch would turn on whenever I turned my wrist upward toward my face so I didn't have to press anything. The Gear S has this too but all it gives me is a minimal dimmed half clock. I realize that this may save battery life but I like the older way better. Is there am option to bring the whole clock up in the motion setting? Or am I stuck with having to press the screen to see my background.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubsteps:
Hello,

I've had this phone for about a week and got it configured the way I prefer: S-Off, unlocked Bootloader, SIM unlocked, rooted. I flashed the latest Beanstalk 4.4.4 ROM and life was pretty good.

The only thing was the power on screen had red writing, so I followed this thread: ★ ☆ [MOD] Remove Red Text on Splash Screen | m8 hboots | ALL Variants and it worked! It did remove the red writing, but now I can't boot into Recovery mode.

I tried getting to Recovery mode through HBOOT and also from the OS reboot menu. When the phone tries to get into recovery mode, it stalls at the HTC splash screen and states: "Entering Recovery..." at the top of the screen, but never gets there. I then have to wait for the phone to run out of power, before I can put it on the charger and then be able to boot into the Bootloader or the OS.

So then I found a thread to erase the cache using Minimal ADB and Fastboot: fastboot erase cache

which it did successfully. I then booted to the OS, and now I've lost my cell signal,

I booted back to fastboot and from my computer ran Minimal ADB and Fastboot: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

which it did successfully. I then tried booting to the Recovery and again I get the HTC start up screen with: "Entering Recovery..." at the top of the screen.

So now I'm waiting for the phone battery to die off a fully charge. Before I do anything else, I would like some of your help with what my next step should be.

Please help!

Thank you.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
the "fastboot erase cache" should be done after flashing recovery:

fastboot flash recovery <name of correct twrp version>.img
fastboot erase cache

no need to wait for it to die out, POWER + VOLUP (possibly under a bright light) should do a forced reboot
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubsteps:
Thanks so much for the tip on POWER + VOLUP to reboot the phone!

I then booted the OS ok (no cell signal though), rebooted to Fastmode, ran Minimal ADB and Fastboot: flashed the recovery file successfully, and then formatted the cache with the command line text stated.

When booting to Recovery, it's still not going into Recovery mode. Just sitting at the HTC screen with the writing at the top: Entering Recovery...

The phone also seems to be a bit sluggish now - just seems to be taking longer than normal for the parts that still work ok (loading the OS).

I flashed TWRP 2.8.0.1 and it worked fine until I decided to try to get rid of the red text on the HTC bootloading screen.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
have you made sure

1- the recovery is the correct one for your phone

2- the file isnt corrupt (check MD5)

i don't know if this is related to the modded hboot (it shouldnt be) but who knows, i dont like messing with hboot
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
If all else fails, RUU and start over.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubsteps:
Ok, I redownloaded the latest TWRP: 2.8.3.0 for the M8, checked it via MD5. I tried flashing the recovery file and nothing has changed... ( I now notice my phone won't connect to Bluetooth or wifi now)

Originally the phone was with Rogers Wireless. I had to SIM unlock the phone so I could use it on Bell Mobility.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
imho, try reflashing your firmware again (that would include stock hboot)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atrako1973:
by removing the red writing you actually installed a custom hboot i think ...revert to your original hboot should fix things for you
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubsteps:
Ok, so I flashed stock recovery and went to HBOOT>RECOVERY -> pressed VOLUP and POWER at red triangle w exclamation point screen.

- Wiped Cache, Factory Reset data (not sure if that is needed, but did it in case)

rebooted and the phone is working again (AND the red text is gone at startup) :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
nice :good::good:

no reason for custom recovery not to work since you were able to get to stock recovery, i've seen a few rare cases on the m7 where you had to delete the twrp settings file on the sdcard for it to work when going from one version to another (though really a very rarely)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubsteps:
Ok, it's definitely the download for the TWRP recovery I had. I'm able to reflash stock recovery and reflash other TWRP downloads (another download of the newest, then maybe 2.7.x.x)

-

OK, I flashed with TWRP 2.8.1.0 and that worked ok. I did MD5 the 2.8.3.0 TWRP, but it just won't work.

Thank you so much nkk71 and everyone who replied to my thread! :)

How to put back a backup after using a2sd ?

Hi,

i've flashed my phone and moved my application and cache fodlers to the sd card using the a2sd method, and got much more space for apps.

As described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1890240

flash:

http://ot908.blogspot.ro/p/flashing.html

a2sd:

http://ot908.blogspot.ro/2012/09/a2sd.html

I can't put back a backup i've made after having moved the folders though (a2sd). It doesn' work.

While putting back a backup i've made before moving the folders works normally.

Of course, it's after the moving of the folders that the backup is important because it is then that i get more space and have more apps installed.

Could anyone help me with that?

Well I have just rooted my device by installing ES File Explorer from the Apps Store and then using Silk browser to download towelroot from towelroot.com. Install it using ES File Explorer and run. Click make it rain and the tablet is rooted. Open ES File Explorer again, top left open the menu, select tools and turn Root Explorer ON.

Now I just need to find what to do next and see what roms are available!

Help!?! :p
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jimyv:
well

you could have accomplished most of that by one of the utilities in the development section and use same. 95 utility to disable updates. From that point on start reading there are all kinds of new things that are coming out and lots and lots and lots of information.

from what I read, after you have been rolled back BY Amazon you no longer need to OTA updates ?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] reconminicon:
It does work with that firmware. Installed Safestrap and the thor 202 rom with gapps and all works fine.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Eclipsys:
Edit: Just received a reply in another thread, it isn't currently possible to rollback 13.3.2.7. Hopefully it's not too far away though. =( If you did find a way too do it with 13.3.2.7 be sure to tell us how you did it then.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jimyv:
just trying to clarify here what worked on your firmware?

The utility for the HDX?

did the rep also tell you you would not be eligible for further OTA updates?so no need to use that utility to block them?

Not a further rollback correct?

which safestrap version? operating on which firmware?

after your roll back down to .7. From what firmware?

as far as I have read there is currently not a way to roll back any further than .7 from .5.1 \.5.2 ...=BRICK

so please explain what you are saying here so you are not confusing people into attempting the wrong things
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] reconminicon:
I bought it for my mother for Christmas and thought would be better with Andriod.

Got it out the box connected to the internet and it automatically updated to 4.5.1. I contacted Amazon using the SOS app and told them what I wanted to do and they rolled it back. They told me I would not get any future updates and customer service might be hard in the future as it would be running different software version. They requested TS to do it and said it would take two days. The update automatically came through and updated/backdated.

The SafeStrap version would of been the most recent as I think I downloaded it from their site.

The 2.0.2 Thor Rom I mentioned worked fine. The other one would not install. Cannot remember the message I was given but when going onto the Play Store Iand trying to download the daily newspaper it was saying designed for mobile. So I guess it was based on a mobile Rom. This was no good for me and thought my mother was getting along with the Amazon OS quite good. (As she is 67 and its her first device) so I ended up installing the Amazon OS from SafeStrap.

I ended up taking it back to Argos for an exchange, said it was switching itself of as I didnt know how to get rid of SafeStrap on boot and wanted the updates back. My mother loves it.

Amazon also removed the adverts free of charge but after the emplacement they are back. Need to SOS them again.

Hope this helps as I am no pro.

greetins,

I received rollback update to 14.3.2.8, is possible to install any other rom instead on this? Tablet is rooted via towelroot, what is next step, what is necessary to do (is possible to install safestrap? may I after this rollback to previous version where is bootloader unlocked?

Thank you very much for your answer.:)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jeryll:
dont try to rollback you will brick your device

Well right now you cant do much:

1. Download safestrap and try to install it (should work)

2. If you can enter safestrap make a backup for stock so you can restore if something goes wrong

3. Make a new slot

4. Switch to new slot

5. Install previously downloaded Nexus 2.0.2 rom to created slot (not stock!!!)

6. Reboot and enjoy your kindle

7. Tell us if you succeeded, its possible that safestrap or later nexus wont work because of 3.2.8 kernel

Dont try to roll back you most probably brick your device
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] undulus:
Thank you very much, installation of safestrap and after this rom Nexus 2.0.2 was without problem, all is working, thank you again. But is any way howto rollback to previous firmware - I am not sure version, but as I read, is possible to rollback into version where the bootloader was open and is not necessary to use safestrap ( Safestrap is good, but I have to modifed my partition )

How big partition for system is necessary? Default value was mayby 2.5GB.

And thank you again
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jeryll:
Well

I am glad you have working Nexus...

For downgrading using known method you must be on firmware xx.3.2.6, xx.3.2.5, xx.3.2.4. Several peoples reported that they bricked their device trying downgrade from xx.3.2.7! You can check here, but you have been warned, dont try that on your device!!! If you brick your device I cant help you, dont know how...

Default size for system partition is fine, I think...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] johim:
Hi,

which version of Safetrap you installed? All links I see are for Apollo (in the thread linked above), and my device is Thor. I assume i sould install Safestrap-Thor-3.75-os3.2.4-B02.apk (not Apollos) ?

Also, once installed, is there a way to revert back everything (fire recovery and etc)?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] EncryptedCurse:
Safestrap actually doesn't replace the original recovery like TWRP.

All you need to do is uninstall it through that same app, but remember to remove any additional ROM slots or else they'll still be taking up space.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] johim:
I understand. Its all working now. Its more slow than usual thou.

Another question, once installed Nexus 2.0.2, do I need to root it? Any recommended method? I'm guessing I only need to flash supersu from safetrap, tried searchin in the safetrap topic, but its huge.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pancake/nop:
I've written a small tool in perl to ease these kind of conversions between the two registry file formats (the old one (.reg) and the new one using a weird and ugly xml format (.xml)).

This is an example session:

$ cat reg-file.xml | perl xml2reg.pl > reg-file.reg

To run this script you'll need to install XML::Registry and XML::Parser (depends on).

I don't know if it's useful to have a reg2xml conversor or just implement a '-i' flag on it to inverse the procedure. Maybe cool for registry diffing and parsing?

UPDATE

This is the version 0.3. I've implemented the -i flag and a bit of help with -h :) and applied some contrib patches. This release fixes the dec/hex bug.

Both are perl modules, if you have ActivePerl installed there's a tool called PPM which allows you to connect to Perl modules repositories a install anyone you need.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZakMcRofl:
WARNIGN:

I believe this app has a major bug, it doesn't convert hex to decimal:

"MainCamSupportCaptSize"=dword:2d4

gets converted to

<parm name="MainCamSupportCaptSize" datatype="integer" value="2d4" />

Now I am not an expert but from my research integer has to be specified in decimal notation, not hexadecimal.

So the converted output should be:

<parm name="MainCamSupportCaptSize" datatype="integer" value="724" />

Could someone verfiy this. If my analysis is correct anyone who used this tool should check their output. Obviously this affects the other direction as well: an integer from a XML file would be interpreted as hex and a much higher value would be written to registry.

Try again, hope to be fixed with 'eval "0x".$2'. I have no xml-reg files to test't now, but it should be ok
