[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] lirathal:
Well I wonder if I totally have the concept of how this actually works wrong. I was reading the MSDN documentation about the Embedded. Now as I understand it Microsoft distributes the Embedded framework to manufacturers and it's they who create the operating system for their hardware. So in essence anything that I get straight from Microsoft will be pretty much useless to Helmi, J and the others that are creating ROMs for us newbies (read: I'm a newbie) :D.

am I totally out to lunch? Sorry if I am, I was just trying to give back for all that I have leeched!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Midget_1990:
You would nee Windows Mobile Source which is not avaliable on msdn. Also a BSP (board support pack) would be needed from HTC.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] lirathal:
The only reason I mention MSDN is for reference only. I realise it's not on MSDN. So lets stop pretending that I'm making that mistake :D. I use MSDN all the time for my consulting firms.

What I am trying to get for the developers here is the "Windows Mobile Source" that you mentioned above. The only reason why I am trying to do this is to get a newer (and hopefully non-beta core) to the developers that spend their time working to get us better ROMs.

Now, to put it bluntly, I have someone that I can contact to get access to neat things within Microsoft. Hopefully this is one of them. What I am really looking for is someone to give me the answer to the question: "What am I asking for".

I'd hate to ask for the wrong thing, bug my contact, and have nothing to show for it for the XDA community.

Hope that is a bit more clear :D

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Midget_1990:
Oh i get you now ;) Too many people with msdn subscriptions ahve seen CE 6.0 and come running with chants of "i can get your windoze mobile 6 source!"

The best i can tell you is to ask for the "windows mobile source tree" the right platform builder to go with it and as many BSP's as you can get your hands on (for multi device support)

However I don't think a public forum is the best place to discuss this... see my PM.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xplod2841:
My friend deleted a very important video from her Xperia Z1 Compact. The video was recorded with camera and stored in internal storage. Is there ANY way to recover it? Internal storage is mounted through MTP when connected to PC, so I can't do it via PC. Is there any way to connect internal storage as mass storage so I'm able to dig through it with a software on PC?

If not, there are apps for Android which can do this but they require root. This phone is not rooted and it's under warranty, but she said that the video is very important so she's ready to risk the phone and lose warranty. I've done rooting hundred times on my old X10 phone, but never on my Z1 (yes, I have it too, but c6903, not compact) so I'm a total newbie here. There's a 14.4.A.0.157 firmware on the phone currently (android 4.4.4) and as far as I know, I'll have to flash .108 first, root the device and then flash .157 again. But, would this wipe data on internal storage? If not, there's still a high possibility that something will overwrite the deleted video, since this is a free location now?

What should I do?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spudata:
It might be possible to connect the phone to PC in USB Debugging mode, open a command prompt and adb pull the internal storage to the PC then dig through it with recovery software. Not sure if it will work but might be worth a try and make sure you have correct drivers installed to use adb. Good luck
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xplod2841:
Thank you for your answer! I tried this: adb pull/ \test and it pulled everything to C:\test but while it was doing, in CMD I saw a lot messages "Ignored special file ...." etc. and I tried with Recuva to deep scan that folder but it didn't found not a single one deleted file. Am I doing something wrong or it's not possible to do this in that way? Maybe another program instead Recuva?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
I've yet to see a success story of recovering something deleted from the internal memory.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xplod2841:
You're saying that this is impossible or almost impossible? If it is, tell me now, before I proceed with rooting the device. Don't want to risk the phone and void the warranty for nothing.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
I'm saying based on the number of times People have tried and failed the odds suggest it's more likely to be impossible than possible.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xplod2841:
I've rooted the phone successfully and tried with Disk Digger app. It found 100+ deleted MP4 files, but if I understood right, those are not mp4 files but sectors containing mp4 data, and I can't do nothing with them. Each of them contains a few MBs and this video was 1080p and more than 5 minutes length so it should have a few hundred MBs. So, this app is practically useles, as long as it doesn't join all those sectors and give me a full video.

So I proceeded to this method: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705

But I have problems with it. My post with screenshoots is on the last page (last post). This thread is in the nexus forum so it could be that there's something different on our Xperia Z1 Compact. Can somebody take a look and see if I'm typing something wrong?

What are other possibilities to create a complete image of internal storage, now when I have root access?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xplod2841:
Thanks! It's not me who is persistent, I wouldn't problably do all this if this was my phone and my video, but this is not my phone. I'm just doing a favour to my friend and now when I've already rooted the phone, it would be shame to give up.

[X 2014 General] Note10.1Dude:
Yep,

Lenovo needs that 6" er in their home market - and Google doesn't play in China, so they had to release the Nexus as a Motorola product there. I would be interested what software is on it, full Moto X package or something closer to Nexus?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dbeayon:
I picked up a used AT&T S3 here in NY because I just installed an Alpine ICS-X7HD in my car. The S3 had the latest NJ1 installed. I was able to root the phone OK. My research has lead me to believe that I won't be able to get any version of Drive Link running on Android 4.4 without FCing when connecting to the Alpine Unit. Research also seems to suggest that I can't go back to the LK3 version either due to boot loader changes made from Samsung and AT&T with the 4.3 update. So I'm looking for advice from the forum experts on what I can do, if anything to get the phone downgraded to a Jelly Bean firmware. I am hoping to hear from someone who has been able to do this before. Can I go from 4.4.2 to 4.3? If so does Drive link still work for you?

I am comfortable using Odin and adb. Let me know if you need any other specific information.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dbeayon:
The solution was so incredibly simple. I flashed the AT&T+UCMG2.ZIP through TWRP and rebooted. Now I am on 4.1.2. Drive Link working! So To Recap...I went from 4.4.2 NJ1 back to 4.1.2 and stayed on NJ1 baseband.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] StoneyJSG:
How did you root on Nj1??!

To get to jelly bean, you do the hack like method above by flashing a zip in TWRP or Clockwork mod or boot a custom rom based off 4.1.x. Once you are on 4.3 or 4.4, there is no going back to a previous version, attempts result in bricking.

sure it will be alot customizable but all of samsungs features including the s pen would be completly useless other then in drawing apps or so on.. probably will not even show the s pen indication when near screen because this is from the samsung framework which obviously wont work ontop of paranoid or any other rom for that matter if you were looking for a pure android exp. custom roms etc.. why would you buy a note if you install what ever custom rom you lose all of the s pen sammy features which makes no sence for the expense of 10-15% more speed and little or less stcok feel :/
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratfordv:
I'm throwing in the towel and asking for help. I have been trying to root my GT-P5210 for 2 weeks following various guides. Where I currently am at is I have TWRP 2.6.1.0 installed. The four files I have been trying use are 1) Stock-GTP5210-4.2.2. 2) STOCK-deodexed-rooted-GTP5210-4.2.2. 3) Root P5210-P5200 4) Rest!3ssroot. These are all zip files and i can't seem to get any of them to work. Where I am currently at is I installed Stock-GTP5210-4.2.2.zip and it went successfully. I rebooted and I'm in this Samsung galaxy tab boot loop I can't get out of. I also just downloaded P5210XXUAMG6_P5210OXXAMG3_HOME.tar.md5. But not sure what to do with this.

Hi,

I will have your thread moved to your device section.

Good luck!
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OKAstro:
OK - use this thread as a guide

1. Download the Odin file in the thread to your PC. Unzip it.

2. Download the TWRP zip file and the super user file from the thread.

3. Put your tablet in download mode (shut it down and then hold the Power and Down volume button). Choose to go into download mode.

4. Make sure the the tar.md5 file you downloaded is the correct one for your tablet (i.e . the right country).

5. Delete the ".MD5" off the file. It should end in ".tar"

6. Connect your tablet to your PC via USB cable.

7. In the Odin file you unzipped, open the Odin program, and put the .tar file into the PDA slot.

8. Uncheck Autoreboot.

9. Click start

10. After it finishes, power off the tablet, then restart it...it should boot into your tablet setup routine.

11. Go ahead and set it up now. Copy the SuperUser zip file to your tablet's SD Card.

12. Power off and go into download mode again. Connect tablet to your PC.

13. Open Odin, and put the "recovery.tar" file from the linked thread into the PDA slot, uncheck auto reboot, and click start.

14. Power off after it finishes.

15. Reboot into recovery mode (power button and VOL up button until Samsung logo flashes.

16. Choose Install, find the SuperUser zip you copied, and flash it.

17. You should now be rooted. Download a root checker from the Play store to check it.

18. This is exactly how I did my USA Tab 5210

Good Luck

Hello guys, i have a really big problem, my phone doesn’t have signal to recognize any sim card after i downgrade it. It came with 4.4.4 then I flashed a 5.0 rom (titan prime) and it was ok. Then i decided to got back to 4.4.4 (XT1068 DUAL SIM 4.4.4..) the problems was that i didn't read something about not flashing fsg.mbn, and I lost any network signal. so I tried to flash that file ( and motoboot and gpe.bin and NON-HLOS from my country-continent LAT) but when im flashing them, it said: bootloader permission denied failed remote failure, in the GPE AND NON-HLOS flashing process. I don’t know what else to do, I flashed like 5 roms and everything its ok except theres no signal or sim detection at all ( no service). I bought the phone 3 days ago and I can’t use it now… please, please if someone in this forum has the time and can help me I would appreciate it alot.

Hi - where to get it from? I like it very much, but here there is only a thumbnail attached, right?

Is also the calling dialog customized with these files?:

HTC_BrandingBrickImg_320x27

HTC_CallProgressBkg_320x186

HTC_WallpaperImg_320x240

I never seen a homescreen for s620 with that customized images.

So the result is e.g. grey theme, but still the default green calling dialog images.

Thanks for your help.
[Xposed General] theCroh:
I think the only way to do this on Lollipop at the moment is using https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wiirecords.localizedapps or some other similar app that changes the system locale when a certain app is running. I'm not sure if you can recreate that functionality with Tasker (you'll probably need at least Secure Settings plugin or such).

EDIT: It seems that Secure Settings plugin is able to change the system language so you could implement this not-so-perfect solution with Tasker and Secure Settings.

EDIT 2: Of course, you'd need to do this so that the locale resets to default when you close Maps.
