Hey everyone,

I've decided to start a post on this cuz i haven't been about to find much on this recently released phone from telus (a canadian carrier). I currently have an HTC TyTN. However, the touchscreen is completely dead. Since this phone isn't sold by any canadian carriers, it's virtually impossible to get it repaired let alone replaced.

I've recently come across the Telus HTC P4000 which was officially launced by telus in april. I noticed the specs are very similar to that of the TyTN except for the following:

-A CDMA phone without a sim card slot.

-256 mb rom vs 128 mb rom

-64 mb sdram vs 64 mb ram? (**i dunno if the hermes ram is SD)

-a QUALCOMM MSM7500, 384 MHz CPU vs a Samsung 400 MHz CPU.

I'm thinking of selling my X01HT and signing up with telus and grabbing that phone. I could really use some feedback on this idea from my fellow Hermes owners. And could use some help measuring the pros and cons.

So far the major CON of going to this phone would be that it's slightly slower and looks to have ZERO upgradability in terms of OS, RADIO, or any type of rom flashing. Meaning no sweet WM6 upgrades from custel or jasjamming or any of the other cool chefs...

Here are some links:

-user manual (specs can be found here as well)

http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/04/17/the-htc-p4000-for-telus-in-the-flesh/

-engadgetmobile article on this phone

Any feedback or thoughts would be great. Thanks guys...

I din't know how much money you want to spend, but expansys do a good range of phones - including the dopod 838 pro (http://www.expansys.ca/)

I think most of these are phone only, without contract etc but I'm sure you can shop around for something with a contract.

Personally for my style of useage I'd spend out on one of the Hermes varieties.

You could also try ebay - maybe pick up a bargain 8525 or an old hermes to repair yours with.

Good luck

I just bought 2 HTC P4000 for some of our work phones. One has been activated so far, and it is working great. It is allot slimmer than the PPC-6700, which I had last year. I am a newbie when it comes to upgrading these things or doing hacks etc, but I am quite happy with the phone so far. If you have any specific questions please feel free to ask me and I will try to answer them for you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ji1386:
thanks guys,

I passed by a telus store today to check it out. The lady was nice enough to take a brand new phone out of its box and run it for me. I got to play around with it for a while and here are my impressions which are mostly positive:

-the slid out keyboard seems to have some kind of power assist feature (not exactly but you know what i mean, think hiptop) which makes it pretty cool and easier to slid out as oppose to having to manually push up the screen till you hear it lock into place (X01HT)

-The HTC P4000 is virtually the same size except just as twelveca stated, it is slightly thinner.

-same white default htc bootscreen + a telus logo screen and wm5 setup. I doubt the possibility of any kind of upgrade unless there are some crazy chefs out there that get their hands on this phone.

-has FN and CAPS lights just like a computer keyboard!

-black keyboard, dark gray screen housing, and a bumpy pattern on the back for added grip.

-I checked out the device info screen and to my surprise, it said it has a !400! MHz CPU as oppose to the 384 MHz stated in the specs. 64 MB RAM, 256 MB Onboard Flash memory confirmed.

-From the few minutes playing with it, it seems to perform at the same level (if not better) as the HERMES.

-Doesn't show any signs of screen alignment problems.

-EVDO High speed wireless capable.

There ya have it, looks like i'm leaning towards buying it. Just have to get over the idea that i won't be able to upgrade roms (for now at least) or use sim cards...But other than that, it seems like a great phone.

P4000

Just recently picked one of these up and have had a couple of days to play with it. I upgraded from an Imate PPC (original 2003 edition) and could not be happier.

This is a rock solid PPC, only wish my GPS hardware was compatable, sigh.

I was a little unsure of Telus but after my fiascos with Rogers, i dont expect them to give me half the grief.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ji1386:
cool, i'll be picking one up probably some time next week...just gotta figure out how i'm gunna cancel my plan with fido and transfer the number over...

ji1386, if you want to sell your broken TYTN, I could use it for parts if unable to fix it. Send me a PM with your offer. Thanks

I have this phone basically since it came out from Telus, and I must say I am quite enjoyikng it. Best Pocket PC phone out, IMO.

This phone is upgradeable to Windows Mobile 6.....however, there is no confirmed release date on when this will be. Also, checking the HTC site will most likely get you nowhere as Telus will need to configure this upgrade to have Telus aspects on there, for instance, The Telsus bootscreen, the today themes, etc.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] RubbaBand:
now im happy to get this feature working on the s4, as a lot of you asked and requested me to get this feature

The steps are very simple you just need ROOT Permission!

Steps:

1 - Go to system/build.prop

2 - Edit this line "ro.product.name=ja3g" to "ro.product.name=SM-N9000"

3 - Save and reboot your device.

lol; how on earth does that enable all these?!

is there another way?

ro product name is jfltexx on s4 whats ja3g?

---------- Post added at 08:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

so what does having my s4 set as a note 4 do? what reads that?play store?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] RubbaBand:
ja3g is the model of gt-i9500, jfltexx is the model of gt-i9505, just change jfltexx to SM-N9000, make sure you are on lollipop!

And this will change the name of your device, this means the play store or anything else wont effect its reading because the device model didnt change
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] tsatomas:
For info, it also disappears lte option in network settings. It still works if previous enabled.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HKSpeed:
anyone get this to work on their i9505? It worked for me, but after I reboot the System UI crashes constantly. So I changed it back to original i9505 in build prop. Changing the name to S6 (zerofltexx) shows full contact history instead of just last call/message from original post.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noomrise:
Hello all,

I have a Samsung Galxy S5 with AT&T model SM-G900A. Any time the phone reboots, on the "Samsung Galaxy S5" boot screen, it says "Custom" and has an "Unlocked Padlock" logo as if the phone were rooted or something. A while back, I was trying to do a basic root to allow use of Titanium Backup using the Towelroot app, which failed because it said my phone was not supported. I'm not sure if this has caused it, or if, as I read elsewhere, it was caused by my once changing from Dalvik to ART. However, I have since switched back to Dalvik, I know its not rooted because SU and other such apps wont work, and I have even Factory Reset the device but I can not get rid of this. I would like to return my phone to its default state. How can I get rid of this "Custom" and Lock Logo? Your help is greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

-Noomrise
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapunzl:
It won't hurt anything as long as Knox isn't tripped but you can download the full stock retail ROM and flash it in Odin or Kies 3.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noomrise:
Update: Phone thinks its rooted?

Okay, so here is an update. After performing a factory reset in order to try and fix this issue, I was playing around and opened the "Softcard" app and received the message that it doesn't work on rooted phones. Since the Towelroot app did not work, I don't understand this. I have also been unable to get SuperUser to install binaries, saying the phone is not rooted. Don't know what this means or if it helps, but thought id give an update. Thanks again!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noomrise:
Would you be so kind as to provide me with a link to the retail ROM and instructions on flashing it through Kies 3? THANKS!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapunzl:
I'd have to do a search. .. or you could. ?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noomrise:
Thanks, I found the file (I hope) and downloaded odin, and it is currently flashing. I will let you know if it a) removes the custom lock and b) fixes the softcard app thinking the phone is rooted. Thanks for your help!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noomrise:
It Worked!!!!!

I would like to report that flashing the stock ROM has fixed both the Custom Lock boot screen as well as SoftCard thinking my phone was rooted. Thank you Rapunzl for your help, you are awesome!

I'm looking for a method to root my tablet indian made named LAVA - IVORY S.

I already read topics about devices close to this one from same brand, but am little bit affraid about destroying it in doing mistakes.

Any idea ? How can i do ? Follow instructions to root the Lava E-Tab ?

What about chances to kill my tablet with mistakes.

Thanks a lot to this great community.

[Sony Xperia L] HMZGUPUR:
Hello everyone, I have problem with my xperia L' s wifi/Bluetooth. They are not working, I tried many thing but didnt solve anything. I thing this problem mostly related with TA partition. I do not have TA backup so is there a way to repair TA partition ?
[Sony Xperia L] LaurynasVP:
Hi there,

It's sad to say, but I don't think that your issues depends on that (TA-Partition). I have unlocked my bootloader and installed L' version, and there' no issues at all.

I'd like to warn you - don't even think to flash any other person's TA-Partition, otherwise you'll face a unrecovable hard-brick.

Which ROM do you have pre-installed on your device?

If it's stock, give a try to flash any CUSTOM Rom, for example, Validus, Ressur., CM12 or any other.
[Sony Xperia L] marceldossantos91:
use flashtool and your mobile's ftf and restore it to stock state with flash mode, if you don't know how a simple google search can fix this, however no, TA keys are only for bionz, x-reality, etc. they are nowhere near remotely close to your problem sad to say.. and no TA partitions cannot be repaired, however firmware can be.. your TA partition will automatically be rewritten aswell if you use an FTF with TA files in it, but to fix the DRM issue you will need the DRM patch.
[Sony Xperia L] HMZGUPUR:
I rooted my Xperia L c2105 with rootkitXperia(L) about 7 - 8 mouth ago, after a few days my device started to freeze and then restart. The worst part is reset loops. Opening and (I guess) check the wifi/bluetooth hardware (because of the hardware don't respond then restart again). Using the phone was not possible, so I flashed CM11 but my problem wasn't solved but the good thing is no more reset loops. I used my phone about 2 -3 month without wifi/bluetooth and sent it to the service. They said we solved problem and everything working well. Again I root my device with rootkitXperia(L) and flashed CM12 with ThunderZap 4.13. It is worked properly about 3-4 day and then the same problem realised again. I think this not a hardware problem. It may related with TA partition. Because in TA, there is info about Wlan/Bluetooth.

Also I find this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1252019
[Sony Xperia L] HMZGUPUR:
I dont know what is the real reason of this problem. But sony service can only flash something and solve the problem. Also I flashed many stock firmware for my xperia L. But nothing solved the problem:(.
[Sony Xperia L] marceldossantos91:
did you try through the flashtool ftf instead of through recovery? cause keep in mind FTF's reflash baseband/radio aswell, I'd also suggest if yes - to try flashing a cm 11 or cm 12 rom and see if the issue persists, if it does your problem may be hardware related, but not all hope is lost yet.. if on CM11/12 it works then i'd suggest just flash a stock ftf again over it and try again, also i'd try another FTF to rule out software issues aswell, It can even be regional issues.. what exactly does your wifi/bluetooth do, just not switch on or does it provide errors? if your on stock and haven't unlocked yet, don't forget to backup TA keys first though before jumping to cm.. [Edit] sorry i did not see your previous post, I don't honestly see how it could be TA related, if this was the case, restoring your DRM keys or even flashing an FTF with the TA files in would solve the problem, maybe you could try that, in my experience, Customized_UK version has TA in, this can be downloaded in flashtool aswell.. fyi just a sidenote, restoring another phones DRM will hard brick your device.. and personal experience tought me this one. lol

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

@HMZGUPUR another thing you can also try that may work, once you got an FTF with TA files in it, flash it once with UBL, then relock the BL and flash the FTF again, see if this helps.. if it works, you should be able to safely unlock again.
[Sony Xperia L] HMZGUPUR:
I didn't try to flash ftf throught recovery but I tried many versions of cm11,cm12 (nightlies,betas,milestones). Also I tried stock ftf for my country, europe and others. Nothing changed. It is very strange because sony service can repair without any hardware changes. But I can't.
[Sony Xperia L] HMZGUPUR:
Ok thank you I'm going to try Customized_UK. But before I also found another ftf which include TA but it consists of only simlock.ta. Is it true ? In the picture Unbranded Generic
[Sony Xperia L] marceldossantos91:
I can't say i have ever owned an xperia L, the 3 devices i have are Z, Z1 and Z3, However it looks a bit strange mine generally has 2 TA files it flashes and i don't recall seeing simlock as one of them, The only direction i can point you in is that if you feel its the TA partition, I know that flashing an ftf with TA will reflash your TA partition over but wont restore your DRM keys though, However i have unlocked and wiped mine a few times over and upon flashing a full FTF i saw the TA is active again (so that the DRM patch could work again since i recklessly unlocked without backups), I doubt Sony service center would do anything special except do the very same thing, and that's flashing a full FTF over so that it reflashes TA/baseband/radio over and /system gets repaired, then they relock the BL. sorry mate best i can help with.. with the Z series TA is only responsible for bionz, X-reality, etc and i have worked without TA for a long time as im mostly using CM12, but i would say the rootkit sounds like it does something with your phone its not liking very much, I'd rather suggest that if you do get it repaired, try to flash TWRP/CWM and use the supersu-update.zip instead of rootkit to root your device, i assume you've backed up your DRM already so i don't see why a rootkit would be necessary..but i could be wrong too.
[Sony Xperia L] HMZGUPUR:
Thank you mate for your kind responds. I guess, I am going to give my phone to service again. I did not deal with it :(. Again Thank you.

[Sony Xperia L] underd0g:
Have you tried to flash ftf with reset customization option checked? I think it did something in TA values. But I'm unsure if it will fix your problem.

[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
try to load the file with insmod (never told about reboot and so on...dalvik cache? this is kernel modul)

if it doesnt work try

su

busybox insmod /path/file

if that doesnt work make

lsmod

and show me result
[Sony Xperia L] HMZGUPUR:
The output is same and also lsmod shows nothing...
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
so you are lagging another modul (see)

There is no problem with other components of the phone except wifi/bluetooth.
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
thats a main driver...just load it please and then wifi
[Sony Xperia L] HMZGUPUR:
I put the adsprpc.ko file to the module folder then su , insmod /system/lib/modules/adsprpc.ko it says Operation not permitted
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
lol? give rwrwrw permissions to file....then try insmod or busybox insmod....

also please try first

su

modprobe /path/wlan.ko

su

depmod -a

modprobe /path/to/asdpc...

modprobe /path/to/wlan

Nothing change :crying:
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
you got wrong path in modprobe command ...try let the first/ away. /system -> system depmode doesnt work cause of permissions... first try modprobe with correct folder

if that doesnt work give rwrwrw permission to whole folder for depmode -a to work
[Sony Xperia L] DebuggingWarfare:
i tried lsmod and then shows

root@android:/ # lsmod
adsprpc 6763 0 - Live 0x00000000
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
so you got first driver...try to load wlan driver with insmod or modprobe ....
[Sony Xperia L] HMZGUPUR:
I returned the Stock 4.2.2 and I refreshed all commands. And the output here. Also can we say that this is not a hardware fault ?
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
that seems to be

1. a permission error

2. a kernel cant load module error(wrong wifi driver)

3. a path error (wlan.ko in wrong path)

4. at last it could be a hardware error

please do:

root your phone

install (playstore) root browser

install teamviewer QS (playstore)

let me look myself into your phone (if you agree)

i think depmod cant load wlan.ko cause you have it in wrong folder or under wrong permissions ... the last option is sadly that wlan driver cant load cause wifi device is broken
[Sony Xperia L] HMZGUPUR:
Ok no problem, I will sent my team viewer ID to you
[Sony Xperia L] HMZGUPUR:
Really, I don't have any idea what is this mean. Do you have any idea ?
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
as you can see in buildprop please check if file is in data/misc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini

permissions rw

also check if there are 3 files in etc/firmware/wlan/prima

btw try as root...
