[Verizon LG G3] IllegalArgument:
So, I've been tinkering with the LG FOTA packages lately, and while I'm not quite done with everything yet, I figured I would share what I have now and update along the way.

The 23B FOTA package has been shared already, though I also have it mirrored in http://downloads.codefi.re/illegalargument/LG_VS985/. I believe I have documented the subpackage format used to patch the /system partition fairly completely now. From that, I wrote a utility to take a system partition from a previous release (e.g., 12B from KDZ) and apply a FOTA update to it (e.g., the 23B FOTA). The output of the program is a system partition image updated to the FOTA update version.

As of now, I have a full 23B system partition image, which has been verified against all of the CRCs in the FOTA and has had its permissions set correctly per the script at the end of the FOTA package. I started with the 12B system image extracted from KDZ, applied the filesystem patch from the FOTA package, and verified it against the FOTA as well. As far as I can tell, this image should be identical to an image of someone's system partition who upgraded from stock 12B to 23B by FOTA. It's hosted at http://downloads.codefi.re/illegalargument/LG_VS985/23B/system.img. If you notice anything strange/not right about it, please let me know and I'll see if I can fix my patching utilities.

Once I tidy up my code a bit, I'll try to get my tools uploaded as well - they're just a little fragile at the moment. Right now, I'm working on getting images of the other partitions out of the FOTA package, so hopefully those will be up soon too. Other than that, I hope the system image is helpful for now :). As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caddish:
Hello

I have a broken Nexus 4 which I would like to repair for a friend but I'm not 100% of the issue, so I was hoping someone might be able to diagnose it with the symptoms which are :

When I plug power, red led flashes once

When i plug the power while holding power and volume, red led flashes once then android will start booting normally but shuts down after 2-3 sec and the red led flashes once again

Same thing happens if remove the battery

Anyone knows for sure what I should replace ?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caddish:
After some trial and error with 2 broken nexus 4, I managed to get a combination that sort of works :

Phone is not recognised by computer

Phone can only be restarted by pressing power up + volume, which means factory reset and system updates are not working

Battery % is wonky, sometimes it will drop to zero, most of the time it stays at 45% while charging

Any advice ?

Sounds to me like the battery needs replacing.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] psxpetey:
Alot of apps run on jellybean or higher on android. These apps can still run on older versions but they need to be changed slightly. Aka changing the sdk version and seeing if the app makes any api calls that our software does not support. Whos up for getting games like godfire rise of prometheus and brothers in arms 3 running on the play? Ics? Gingerbread? The developer never will which is a damn shame. Whos with me on this?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] duredure:
I just wanted to play kairosoft new games but they'r for android 4.0 ¬¬

I like my xperia play in 2.3.3 original rom and I won't go change it. Root is the only thing that I did.

I hope that somebody someday releases an simple apk or program that easily mod highter android for 2.3

I have a Sprint L720 Galaxy S4 that I am currently using with Metro PCS/T-Mobile. I have the correct APN settings, I can make and receive calls just fine. I can send texts and MMS just fine and receive texts as well. I can not receive MMS messages or texts with picture attachments.

I looked in the ##DATA# menu or ##3282# menu as I have my MSL number. If anybody here has used the L720 with T-Mobile/MetroPCS can you please give me your working settings from the data menu?

I looked through the entire data menu and it is filled with Sprint.com this and sprint/mms/server that etc. I tried changing the most obvious things to T-Mobile's settings, but I know I am missing the crucial settings to allow me to send and receive texts with photo attachments. I tried the METROPCS fix here in the forums for the L720, but the files give errors when installing. I am certain that manually entering the settings from someone else's phone will work. There are a lot of settings in the ##DATA# menu, but it would take maybe five minutes to copy them down.

I would really appreciate it if anyone could give me their working info. T-Mobile said they simply do not have time to look those up as the data menu is too specific. The phones in the stores are not rooted not do they have the dialer app installed to get me to the data menu.

Thank you very much.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] riotburn:
I keep my phone charging overnight. A few days ago I woke and found the phone dangerously hot near the port. Unplugged it, didn't think much of it. When I tried to charge it later on, it wouldn't charge. Noticed that the port looked burnt and there was a little melted plastic under the cover.

I just bought a replacement USB module. Changed it without problem. It still won't charge. Any idea what to do now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] riotburn:
Ok I double checked the connections and the battery connect wasn't on properly. Charges now :D. Also when I originally took off the cover to inspect, the battery was wet. Might've gotten some moisture from sitting on the window sill. The water indicator strip on the battery is red. So seems like all is good. Going to charge and see how it handles.

Thank god there was a Samsung Studio store near me that lets you try phones for 21 days for free. Note 4 has a nice build quality :good:
[LG Optimus G Pro] laufersteppenwolf:
I have been working on the kernel lately, and had to notice that even though the kernel source is compilable (not always the case....), the kernel is unfortunately not bootable. And to make matters worse, LG removed support for the last_kmsg procfs entry, meaning I have no clue what's wrong with it.

But then I remembered what my, well, kinda methor, did on the locked bootloaders on the Xperia X8. He was also known as "the module-man", aka [MENTION=3546299]doixanh[/MENTION], as he brought some pretty nice things to the device just using kernel modules.

Long story short, I compiled a couple of modules adding support for the following four CPU governors:

conservative

hotplug

intellidemand

lionheart

You can choose which ones you want to have loaded by editing the init.d script (just uncomment the line of the module you want to have loaded).

Requirements:

CWM recovery

init.d support

Installation:

Flash the zip via recovery

Edit the init.d script "/system/etc/init.d/01insmod" so it loads the modules you want

That's it

The modules are now being loaded on every boot, and can be activated using any device control app, like TricksterMOD or Device Control.

My personal favorite is hotplug, as it scales pretty nicely.

Last but not least, GPL:

The kernel (module) sources can be found HERE
[LG Optimus G Pro] laufersteppenwolf:
I have also been working on a couple of other modules, but I cannot load them due to an unaccessible symbol.

The strange thing is, though, according to the kernel sources, the symbol should be accessible...

Will have to keep on looking into it, I suppose...

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlesx123:
Hello everyone,

My friend gave me his HTC One M7 to fix, but I have run out of options. So here's his story: He has the HTC One M7 GSM model which has unlocked bootloader, S-ON,Twerp installed and no OS installed.

HBoot-1.55.000

OS-3.24.531.3

I have tried to first gain S-OFF and use the RUU to get back to stock but the device doesn't appear in CMD when using "adb devices" prompt. I can't enable USB debugging since there is no OS installed for adb to work. Also, I went it into TWERP, but the data cannot be mounted so I can't ADB sideload it nor can I fix the problem by using adb by updating TWERP which helped on my other HTC device.

Is there a way I can make the adb to work? I have already tried using different ports on my laptop but it doesn't work. Or is there a way to use the RUU with S-ON?

Thanks

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwalsh24:
Hey all, I picked up a m8 the other day, and the previous owner was told that it needed a new battery, so he let it go cheap and I took the chance on the phone as I want to give it a go for my next phone over my current. Here's the current lost of issues... its all stock on the current lollipop release

1) battery life is horrible, lucky to get 3 hours

2) battery runs hot, Gsam recorded that after a charge temps recorded up over 40C / 100F degrees

3) even if I let the phone cool down, its gets warm rather quick once turned on

4) phone powers off on its own, likely to prevent cooking itself from the heat

Now I'm hoping that this is a battery issue, and not a hardware issue. I'm confident I can change the battery myself but the question is, has anyone else suffered this? The phone itself isn't laggy or anything, runs smooth but just gets really hot, Any yes, the phone is out of warranty
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwalsh24:
So I tested the phone, hot or cold it wont stay on for long when the screen is off. I plugged the phone into AC power to see if this was the same result, and nope the phone will stay on. So I'm hoping that its just a bad battery! Fingers crossed!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You likely have app wakelocks. But without screen shots, hard to say.

Get those and we'll have a look. See post 4 in the battery help thread in my signature for how to set it up and what shots are helpful.

If it's not rooted, try wakelock detectors pc version. It should show wakelocks, where the phone apps won't.

?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwalsh24:
Alright will try, the only issue is the phone won't stay on by itself on battery. Once the screen goes off, its only a matter of minutes sometimes and it turns itself off. Only way I've been able to keep it on with the screen off is by having it plugged into AC
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwalsh24:
Alrighty, here are the photos. The phone is 100% stock with just a unlocked bootloader running Lollipop 5.0.1. I set the screen to stay on for an hour o the phone wouldnt shut of as soon as the screen did & let it sit idle for 10+min.... Wakelock Dectector for PC didnt list anything when I ran it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Good, but go from 100 to about 10 percent left, then do screen shots. A short period doesn't say much. ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwalsh24:
Ill try, but the phone wont stay on when the screen goes off, and I don't think its good for the screen to be constantly on...?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Could be hardware in that case unfortunately. I've never really heard of such an issue.

Screen off, phone shots down? Always? Does it shut off ever while you're using it?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwalsh24:
That's the weird thing , the phone works fine till you turn the screen off, once you turn the screen off it will automatically turn off after a minute or two, it never powers off while in use, and if I leave it plugged into the charger it stays on like normal when the screen is off. So perhaps it is just a bad battery ? I've ordered the battery & replacement covers that have to be removed to gain access to chassis screws. So here's to hoping. Seeing how its not s-off or rooted I can't downgrade to see if its a lollipop issue :(
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Curious why you didn't just send it in under warranty?

Yeah, I've never heard of an issue like this personally.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwalsh24:
I bought it off someone who said bell wouldn't warranty it as it had its bootloader unlocked. So the person took it to someone and they didn't have the proper tools or a battery for it. So I bought it fairly cheap in hopes to fix it myself.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Well, I hope you get it going! But yeah... Sounds like a hardware issue.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Yeah, that's some weird issues. I would suggest running an RUU. It will wipe your phone, but it will also clear out all of the crap that would cause these issues.

Hook up to your PC, go to ADB/fastboot, fastboot getvar all, and post the readout here minus your serial number and IMEI. I will direct you to the appropriate RUU. (Or someone else will if I end up in bed first. :))

EDIT: I see you are on Bell, but I'm unfamiliar with them. Your getvar will give me more info to point you to something that will work. Bell doesn't have RUUs available, but there should be something that is compatible.

You may need/ probably will need to gain S-Off and go superCID
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwalsh24:
Alrighty, ill try and see what I can do, somewhat new to the HTC world (Samsung user, but trying to switch haha)

There's no rush on getting the phone working, right now its just a toy to play with lol.

I've been looking but haven't found an answer on whether s-off is possible on 5.0.1 yet, so that there could also halt things
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kahun:
If you have unlocked bootloader you could try flashing a custom ROM.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwalsh24:
I do have that, thought you needed s-off as well for that ? So it could be possible to downgrade to a kk custom rom?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kahun:
You need s-off to flash firmware not ROMs. To flash ROMs all you need is a unlocked bootloader with a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwalsh24:
Hmm okay, well worth a shot. My guess tho is it wont change anything. Likely a hardware problem which I'm hoping is just the battery, as the phone gets crazy hot charging either powered on or off.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kahun:
It does sound like a faulty battery. Make sure you get a genuine battery for it when replacing but a custom ROM is worth a shot.

That's maybe half of your getvar, and not the information I need.

Anyway, your MID is the same as Telus (my carrier), so if you are S-Off and SuperCID you can flash WWE firmware I believe. That's what I have. Your complete getvar, minus serialno and IMEI only, would tell me more. Like if you were S-Off and your firmware version (version main)

Installed a rom, same issue so its hardware. Reverting back to stock with the backup made, and will likely leave this phone to rest & cool down as its damn hot. Weird tho, the screen will shut off in recovery and turn on fine lol

So I've changed the battery, and its not getting nearly as hot, but still has powering down issues when the screen is off :(
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwalsh24:
Could this be a kernel issue? If I gained s-off could I somehow wipe the phone and start fresh to see if the issue goes away, or even downgrade the phone off of lollipop ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TempestZ:
You can do a full format on your internal memory and then flash a new Rom. Or you can flash a kernel real fast like elemental x to see if that's the issue. Also you can try calibrating the battery when is charged full, shut down and press and hold all 3 buttons for 2 minutes. Probably will do nothing but worth a shot.

And yes you can downgrade with s-off but would eliminate all options before throwing money on something that may have more hardware defects than just the battery

Motherboard may be broken too

Is it possible to add to a cab application my reg code by adding to CAB itself that information? Hot to do it and with which applicaton?

THX so much!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
No it is not possible.

First, the way registration is stored is different for each program.

Second every company / developer who protect their products with registration code go to great length to hide how and where it is stored to make cracking their program more difficult.

THX so much...it was just to make life easier after ROM upgrade, because I prefer to re-install all applications instead of using BackUP sw.
