It's not CM that wants to remove Google services, it's Cyanogen Inc. that wants to remove them from CyanogenOS. CyanogenOS and CyanogenMod are two different things (CM->Community, COS->Marketing).

Thanks for the +1 [emoji14]

Thanks for the correction on the detail. I understand this but I think you miss the bigger point.

It might be that they are completely separate and that the community can exist without the financial support of Cyanogen Corp. If so I stand corrected.

But I very much doubt it.

And this being the case the commercial arm will attach strings to their support, and those strings will involve embracing the Corp vision. Might not happen any time soon but I can't see any other scenario unless the dev community can stand alone.

Hi,

My name is Chris, I work for a company called Mobile Genius.

We sell second hand mobile phones mainly on eBay, hoping to set up our own eCommerce site sooner rather than later. However this is not why I'm here. For a lot of issues with phones, from flashing to hard resetting a device, XDA has been great for me and really helped me out. So thanks to all the people who post here, and whoever takes the time to reply to me now.

We have a Z3X box and a piece of software called Chimera (only got Chimera 2 days ago). They save us a lot of money on unlocking devices. I've been looking into flashing all of our phones, as a lot come with passwords and data on already and they must be wiped before being sold. Does anyone know if it's possible to flash more than one phone at a time on the same computer?

Question 2:

Is there any kind of testing tool to test an Android device. For example, we must go through each device one by one, testing the speaker, ear piece speaker, microphone, buttons, touch screen, WiFi and other tests. This is a must, especially with second hand devices. We don't sell iPhones due to they seem to break easier than other phones (personal opinon, but I do have an iPhone myself :p ) So this would be needed for android devices only.

Question 3:

In regards to flashing devices. We are wondering whether it's possible to create your own branding, like how the networks add there branding so it is seen on the boot process and the wallpaper. How would one go in regards to adding this to each device. I was curious whether it's possible to make a file which can be flashed onto each device. For example when I use the Z3X box to change the network unlock code to 00000000 on an Ace 2 it requires me to root the device as it's unable to root the device automatically. The easiest way I found was to copy an update.zip file to the phones memory and then flash a pda file which is rooted and it then makes the device rooted) Is there a simple way I can have a pda file and flash it to the phone and it will keep the original software but just add branding with our logo? Or if anyone knows of a completely different way to do this but quickly I'd be very grateful for any advise.

If any of the above has been answered elsewhere, send me a link and call me a noob and I'll get the info from there.

Thanks

Chris

Yes, possibility exists for all three questions of yours.

Q1) You could make a wipe.bat file which wipes through adb, requires batch programming knowledge.

Or you could look under my signature. You will find an ultimate tool, it is basically a tool which can bend your Android in any way... It has wipe option :D factory reset

Q2)Yes, for MTK there's a built in function called engg. Mode which is used to detect errors, for other devices. Some bootloaders support factory mode. Which is also used for a complete checkup

Q3) Yes, your boot.img holds the Bootlogo (you can extract the boot.img from the tool in my signature and leave regards :D ) wallpaper also resides in system somewhere (forgot exact loc). And es EFS part can be reprogrammed but could be illegal (?)

HIT THANKS if you like my post

Hi!

Is there a chance to port the Wizard Xplore or Core 2.0 to the Prophet?

Mattias
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] guitarz:
wizard roms are possible to be ported to Prophet

because ALMOST all Prophet roms are ported from WIZARD.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] zeusin:
Hi, yes its possible. I Pm'ed Faria from wizard forum, and he wanted to get the latest WM6 prophet rom, so that he could make a rom kitchen for us (his current rom kitchen is prophet compatible but needs an OS.nb from prophet). Am still trying to decide which os.nb i should send him..
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] NetrunnerAT:

yes, runs smooth.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] mwell:
I'm not able to write to the ext. ROM using Fantastic Mobiz XBow v1.1i. Is this bug solved in PDAViet ROM or is the ext. ROM merged to the windows file system?

BR Mattias
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] dpast:
Please any one! WM6

Can anyone explain / tell me how to correct the issue. Seems to be persistant on all WM6 roms installed on my Prophet. After a few hrs after installation and use phone tends to go into like a sleep mode, I don't receive calls or text msgs. I have noticed that the signal strength goes down to 2 bars & when this starts to occur. I have been informed by callers that calls go straight into voice mail & text are never delivered.

The only way I have been able to resolve this is by resetting the phone, clearing out memory / goin in/out of programs or going back to the original 2.20 rom.

IPL:2.10

SPL:2.20

GSM:2.61.21

OS:2.20

[Droid X General] arolust:
Im looking to fully set up my old Droid X phone as a dedicated car interface, for the usual, music, gps, car cam.

I do not plan to use the dock, as i dont plan to spend any additional money on this project, I just want to re-purpose my old droid. I used the base of an old Eye toy (ps3 cam) and put some holes in the battery cover of my droid, then used small screws to mount to base (has swivel and can adjust up and down). Works great (can screw to dash when I need to or glue). I can easy of course unscrew it and use it with normal dock if I get one, but it works good so far.

Im currently using an older version of liquidsmooth, which i removed many of the apps I dont need, and added some I wanted (offline maps, car dock app). I also set it up to wake on power, and to keep screen on while charging. When it stops charging (i turn vehicle off) the screen turns off and after 5 secs it enters sleep mode.

I was wondering which rom you would choose to use for such a project and what you would do to save on power.

Also any suggestions for apps (offline only) would be good. Ill post some pics soon.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I AM THE HSS:
Ok, Couple of days ago My Mom's s3

/efs

Got Corrupted Due to Unknown Reasons(I've Never flashed anything till this problem),I fixed it By getting it to Factory mode and therefore Disabling the factory mode(This Method ) and now the Problem I expected has happened

Invalid IMEI(0049XXX) and 00000000 SN

Since this is my mom's Phone (I have Nexus5) and everything was on Stock,I don't Have a Backup of /efs Partition

I've read many articles about how to fix this(Flashing Stock firmware,repartitioning,Ariza Patch and etc) but I wanted to ask it from someone who really knows what's this about

Is there any hope that I can fix it without going to Samsung Customer Service ? or Repair center is my Only shot ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
No, take it to a repair centre and let them recode it for you. Make sure it works on 4.3 before you pay.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
It would be worth wiping and flashing a full stock 4.3 firmware with Odin, this sometimes enables the efs to be read again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I AM THE HSS:
Thank you boomboomer For your efforts answering Questions in this Forum but your Quote Says it all

I've done my homework and the only viable way to fix this issue is to use a octopusbox (http://gsmserver.com/gsm/boxes-and-...ers&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=octopusbox) which is over 600 USD and Possessing it is illegal in many Countries(Because you Can practically change your IMEI to anything you want with it)

I've called one of the retailers and he agreed to see me tomorrow and let me borrow his octobox for around 30$

For other People facing the same issue,DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING BEFORE YOU'VE MADE A COPY OF YOUR CORRUPTED /EFS,because you really need the original nv_data.bin for many fixes described in this forum,I deleted mine in hopes that it will regenerate itself but it didn't

[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CosmicJedi:
Hello to everyone here on this forum.

I very much have been enjoying the Samsung Galaxy s5 mini over the past few months - today however I was faced with a strange situation (can provide details separately) and suddenly 1000 of my very near and dear photos of my family and travels were erased in one shot from the gallery, all of them saved only on internal memory. Yes I know I had countless methods of backing up on SD cards or Google +, but I never did it.

I have been trying to do a data recovery for these deleted files, but running into this problem that hooking up my Galaxy s5 mini to my PC does not recognize a letter USB mass storage drive and so none of the data recovery apps are finding my phone's internal memory. I have tried everything - rooting the phone and installing apps to make the USB Mass Storage the method - even it says that it works on the app, but I still do not see it on my PC hard drive. All I see is a "D" drive that cannot be opened by any of the programs - "Recuva", "Dr. Fone", "Stellar", they all failed.

I am trying to follow along the instructions on this forum listed here - http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705 - but it is slightly too technical for me without clear explanation on all the steps, plus it seems some of the code in there strictly pertains to Nexus and most likely differs for this Galaxy s5 mini - but this info is all I could find after 10 hours of search.

Please can someone help me with guidance here, I will be devastated to lose these extremely dear photos of my family (baby nieces!) and travels around the world.

Thanks so much for your kindness and wisdom!

First bootloop happened 2 weeks ago. Today happened again twice i wiped dalvik cache and everything is fine how can i fix it?

How can fix this and keep my alive?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Try a full factory reset. Be careful as this will wipe your internal storage.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orangley:
Thank you for your answer but I did it after flash stock rom via odin. Wiped data / factory reset , cache partition , mounted cache , system , data , wiped dalvik cache..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Wiping data does not equal a factory reset. Wiping data does just that, wipes user installed apps. But generally leaves the internal storage alone.

A factory reset returns the phone to the settings it came out of the factory with, including a clean internal storage(If you have the stock rom). I heard that changing roms and just wiping data, dalvik and cache will still leave behind some files.

But it could also be untrue.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidInitiate:
Real reset

This method will wipe everything, including operating system and efs files. Before you do this:

you must root

Download twrp recovery

Install the recovery using the app from the play store

Boot into recovery mode and have twrp backup everything

save your backup to an SD card and the computer (can't hurt to have two backups)

Doing the above will preserve your phone important data like your imei and efs

in case something goes wrong.

NOW

after you have backed everything up use twrp recovery to wipe data. Have twrp wipe everything except for your SD card (don't won't to lose the backup)

After everything has been obliterated have twrp boot you into download mode.

Download Odin from XDA preferably 3.09 (most stable release) and then grab an official stock firmware from a trusted source. The latest stock firmware should be at least 4.4.2

If you have carriers other than t-mobile you will also need to find a PIT file for partitioning.

When you have all of this open up Odin with your phone connected in download mode and make sure repartitioning, clear efs and nand-erase is checked along with the defaults.

Select pda button and choose your firmware (unzipped tar.md5 format.) Then select repartitioning PIT file button and direct to where you have the PIT file downloaded.

now click start (be sure that the Com port is recognized by Odin: will be highlighted in blue or yellow.)

This will take a while depending on your computer.

when it finishes your phone should reboot with a fresh os and filesystem. If you get stuck in a bootloop reboot into recovery mode and do a wipe data and wipe cache. Reboot and your phone should be good as new.

IMPORTANT!!! It is vital you keep your TWRP backups for as long as you have your phone if you lose them and something goes wrong while flashing your phone you will lose important things such as IMEI baseband which will prevent you from connecting to your network and Sim card recognition.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidInitiate:
Is that another custom recovery?

If so then yes just make sure you have all of your system files and most importantly your efs backed up.

Run odin as administrator if that doesnt work, try using another version of Odin.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orangley:
Doesnt work another versions both twrp and odin. I'll keep my custom recovery and try it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidInitiate:
What carrier are you using, model number of the phone, etc.

Have you backed everything up? And can you flash the custom recovery through Odin if it fails?

Try it without wiping efs first just to be safe

Look here for your device you will be able to find standalone flash able versions of twrp that should work through odin.
