I have get a strict nat with my xbox one when tethering with my m8 but games see to work just fine. Occasionally I will have issues where a friend or two can't hear me in multiplayer but setting up a private chat works fine. Right now I have the m9 and the edge but I haven't tried it yet to see how it will work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] franky_402:
Weird indeed it wont even let me sign in says to check my connection. When i go to check multiplayer connection is when it tells me i have a problem with the mtu.

Last night i tethered to the laptop and shared my connection with my nic card and ran a crossover cable to the xbox and that still didnt work.

Well i bit the bullet and am having cable internet installed today, otherwise my xbox was pointless. Getting a 100mbps connection for 55/mo

The only thing i can think of is the mtu from band 41 that i get at my house must not be sufficient. I wonder if band 25 or 26 works better but i cant get those to connect over 41 to test
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] themuffinman:
Come to think of it, every time I have tethered to the xbox I was in a band 25 only market.

I like the idea, but I think it's a questionable interim until we get roll up screens and keyboards.

Think - the trend is towards more and more power in a phone (case in point HTC: 520mhz, 400mhz, 220mhz, 180mhz. Moores' Law at work, I think not).

But I digress: trend is towards smaller, more powerful gadget to make us impotent. But squinting at a 2.8 inch device is unsatisfying and bordering on unusable - my wife will agree.

So what we want is big device interface, small device form factor. That's illogical with current hardware, ergo move towards projectors and foldouts etc. The idea of a small, lightweight laptop that adjuncts the phone is sensible... but ultimately, we're reverting back to a laptop against the trend for small technology... it's nothing new, it's just cheaper. And even that's questionable.

My dream team would be a HTC TyTN or a Kaiser coupled with a device with a full keyboard and a 10 to 12" screen. The device would have a flash hard drive so it is instant on and totally windows compatible.

[Off-topic] OdeeanRDeathshead:
Why has the whole world got this fascination with screens? There is a better idea that gives the small size of a phone and the large size of a laptop screen. Glasses. If the phone was wirelessly connected to glasses that could project the desktop to our eyes then we could have an unlimited screen size. I saw a device on display at a sony shop that could do it almost 10 years ago and it was not overly thick. Why has this idea been canned?

I have been dreaming of this because I would love to go to work with nothing but my phone and glasses then sit back (on a porcelain chair) and watch movies!

[YU Yureka Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanj_cm_fan:
I am just not sure how an entire phone can be bricked just by trying to flash a 32 bit Kitkat over a phone with clean storage. Notice my stress on the word clean. By clean I meant a phone with /boot and /system partitions entirely wiped off. By wiping off /boot, I am essentially clearing off the kernel and ramdisk.

To explain what I am trying to say, I'll give an example:

Lets assume the phone has lollipop installed. Lets also assume that the phone has 64 bit TWRP installed as recovery. Now in the recovery mode, if I wipe off /boot and /system, I am essentially getting rid of the entire operating system, kernel and the ramdisk. Now if I switch to fastboot mode from inside TWRP and re-flash stock KitKat, my /boot and /system will be recreated. And I don't see any reason, why the phone will not be able to boot into Kitkat from there.

What do you say guys? Did I assume something wrong here? I need your opinion.

If you clean flash on your phone, what about your firmware? Have you wiped it as well?
[YU Yureka Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tirta.agung:
Wow, finally there is a person who ask the question

Wow at last, a person with good question. Well first I don't know what have change with the x64 edition of stock lollipop (currently downloading the fastboot rom and then will do some hex comparison between all the image listed in the zip), cos just for your info, changing boot.img and system.img will not put your phone unrecognizable by windows (see all post in my thread HERE). The worse case, it will put your phone directly to QDLoader (9008) mode.

If you ask why, here is the simple answer, qualcomm's phone first will boot the "Secondary Boot Loader" a.k.a sbl1.mbn (sbl1 partition), then your phone "eMMC Boot Loader" a.k.a emmc_appsboot.mbn a.k.a the fastboot mode (aboot partition), then your phone "Resource and Power Management" a.k.a rpm.mbn (rpm partition), then the Trust Zone a.k.a tz.mbn (tz partition), then the HYP (now I don't really no what this is, but through hex reading on hyp.mbn, it includes some new protocol like SBL, but shorter), see below diagrams:

So, by just flashing wrong boot.img and system.img, will not make your phone unrecognisable by windows, unless somehow you manage to complete formatted your whole eMMC.

I just wonder, how did actually those people really make their phone unrecognizable by windows. The safest thing to do when you downgrading or upgrading your phone via fastboot is first by formatting and erasing all of the old files respective to their partitions, and then flashing the new images, such as below:

fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem unlock
fastboot -i 0x1ebf erase modem
fastboot -i 0x1ebf erase boot
fastboot -i 0x1ebf erase recovery
fastboot -i 0x1ebf erase aboot
fastboot -i 0x1ebf erase abootbak
fastboot -i 0x1ebf erase hyp
fastboot -i 0x1ebf erase hypbak
fastboot -i 0x1ebf erase rpm
fastboot -i 0x1ebf erase rpmbak
fastboot -i 0x1ebf erase sbl1
fastboot -i 0x1ebf erase sbl1bak
fastboot -i 0x1ebf erase tz
fastboot -i 0x1ebf erase tzbak
fastboot -i 0x1ebf format system
fastboot -i 0x1ebf format userdata
fastboot -i 0x1ebf format cache
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash sbl1bak sbl1.mbn
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash abootbak emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash rpmbak rpm.mbn
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash tzbak tz.mbn
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash hyp hyp.mbn
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash hypbak hyp.mbn
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash system system.img
fastboot -i 0x1ebf reboot-bootloader
fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem unlock
fastboot -i 0x1ebf format userdata
fastboot -i 0x1ebf format cache

Just do this code, and you will safely downgrade your phone to kitkat.
[YU Yureka Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanj_cm_fan:
Thanks a lot Tirta. Finally someone answered my query in such vivid details. So what it boils down to is to delete the firmware specific stuff: secondary boot loader, eMMC boot loader, resource and power management, trust zone and hyp (whatever that is). Then flash the old firmware (sbl1, aboot, rpm, tz, hyp and offcourse the modem) that came with cm11 fastboot package. This is just awesome. Can you tell me something? I don't see any sbl1, aboot, rpm, tz, hyp and modem partitions in the phone. This is what my phone's partition table looks like:

Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/dev 930.0M 56.0K 930.0M 4096
/sys/fs/cgroup 930.0M 12.0K 930.0M 4096
/mnt/asec 930.0M 0.0K 930.0M 4096
/mnt/obb 930.0M 0.0K 930.0M 4096
/system 1.1G 1.1G 76.6M 4096
/data 12.8G 3.0G 9.8G 4096
/cache 122.0M 100.0K 121.9M 4096
/persist 5.8M 96.0K 5.7M 4096
/firmware 64.0M 45.1M 18.9M 16384
/mnt/shell/emulated 12.8G 3.0G 9.8G 4096
/storage/emulated 930.0M 0.0K 930.0M 4096
/mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 29.5G 23.1G 6.4G 32768
/mnt/secure/asec 29.5G 23.1G 6.4G 32768
/storage/sdcard1 29.5G 23.1G 6.4G 32768
/storage/emulated/0 12.8G 3.0G 9.8G 4096
/storage/emulated/0/Android/obb 12.8G 3.0G 9.8G 4096
/storage/emulated/legacy 12.8G 3.0G 9.8G 4096
/storage/emulated/legacy/Android/obb 12.8G 3.0G 9.8G 4096

In the firmware partition (in /firmware/image directory), I do see files that may be related with sbl1, aboot, tz, rpm, hyp and modem.

So the partition names which are mentioned while flashing through fastboot, are more logical than physical? Or is it that you need to use some other executable to find out the entire partition table in Android?

Can I assume that on flashing cm11 fastboot package directly on top of the cm12s installation, it will screw sbl1 and aboot partitions and hence the brick?

Thanks,

Sanjay
[YU Yureka Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tirta.agung:
Use this command to see those partitions:

adb shell
ls -al /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/

You need first to empty those partitions, either by erasing the content of the partitions (sbl1, tz,rpm, and hyp) or formatting the partitions (cache, userdata, and system). I used to have "Nexus 4", and experience problem downgrading because the flash.bat does not erase or format previous partitions.
[YU Yureka Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] actinium15:
[MENTION=2338155]tirta.agung[/MENTION], having done just that to my Dad's YU Yureka last weekend, I can tell you it actually is fairly easy - how I wish it wasn't :crying:

All I did was to flash official CM11 rom using official an older copy of linux flash tools I had with me (they have removed the linux flashtools from YUPlayGod on github now, and I didn't bother to check any changes made to Windows tools - I now wish I had), powered-off the phone, never to see it wake it's beautiful screen again :(

I think one of the reasons (besides not erasing/formatting existing partitions) so many hard-bricked YU Yurekas (esp while downgrading to CM11) find a mention in these forums could be that "official" flash-all.bat at YUPlayGod github didn't flash 'hyp' partition till it was update on 21st Apr (please search for "commit 80dcc59d76 YUPlayGod" - I'm not allowed to post URLs yet). Missing an (apparently) critical partition while downgrading might make the kernel panic during boot-up.

Whether that has any direct bearing on the device being unrecognizable in Windows is something I wouldn't know yet - but surely my device is not getting recognized at all. No logs in "Device Remover" for Windows while connecting the device, no logs in 'dmesg' for Linux either. Only the red LED is lit (no continuous vibration as you've mentioned for a tell-tale sign of a device in QLoader 9008 Mode)

I also saw elsewhere you've recommended shorting some pins in the battery enclosure on handset to get Windows to detect the phone - if you can explain why you believe shorting them will help and then I'd attempt that as well.

Also, what's you opinion on the "theory" which says "partition sizes have been modified across CM11 and CM12"; ergo hence "the zip method" to downgrade is safer then flashboot because

IMHO, if partition have really been re-sized, then there's not much you can achieve with either method (using 'zip' and 'flashboot' both shall be equally useless) unless there's some re-partitioning step/tool employed beforehand (quite like PIT files for Samsung devices). What is your opinion on this?

IT IS POSSSSIIIIIBBBBLLLLLE!​

I am rewriting this tutorial from RDS www.yuplaygod.com member's post

This is only meant for users who had rooted their device, in lollipop, have cwm or twrp recovery installed. IF not rooted find guides for it. (Hint: Google it)

I suggest to not use fastboot for flashing roms... It may brick you device (I meant hard brick)

So here is what we are going to do!

STEPS (VERY SIMPLE)

1) Download Back_to_cm11-signed by Abhiram.zip https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4etFrzyEA01UklKR3N5T2JYeGc/view?usp=sharing

2)Download recovery-yu.img https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4etFrzyEA01d2VGRXNuY2I1MGs/view?usp=sharing

3)Copy Back_to_cm11-signed by Abhiram.zip to SDCARD

4)Open recovery and flash it

5)Open fastboot mode.

6)Connect to your computer and flash recovery-yu.img

7)Open recovery by pressing "vol+"+"vol-"+"pwr"

8)Flash stock rom zip. Go to this guide to get it http://xdaforums.com/yureka/orig-development/rom-t3042384

9) Rock with it!.

********FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT GOOD WITH FASTBOOT**********

So yureka is something different. So you have to specify the device id for the fastboot to find it.

Install adb-setup.1****.exe https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4etFrzyEA01SE9NTVNRWTl4Y0E/view?usp=sharing

Open CMD

Type fastboot -i 0x1ebf devices

If any device is detected you r good to go

Close CMD

Open the place where you have downloaded recovery-yu.img

By pressing shift, right click the folder (in which you have downloaded recovery-yu.img) click open command window here

and type fastboot -i 0x1ebf boot recovery-yu.img

That's it
[YU Yureka General] sanj_cm_fan:
Have you tried that and didn't face any hardbricks?
[YU Yureka General] Abhiram Shibu:
Yes

I risked my own device to prove that. Go ahead 10000% sure that this will work. Because my device did not brick at all

Please hit tanks if you got it working! It is working..

The OP suggest not to use fastboot mode as it may hard brick device & the steps tht follow are based on fastboot option... I'm confused, Is it safe to use fastboot mode thn?
[YU Yureka General] Abhiram Shibu:
ujilraj their is nothing to be confused. You can use fastboot mode. But if you flash system.img and data.img via fastboot, which has different partition styles, then you will end up with hard bricked phone... That's why!

Flashing recovery is very safe! GO for it!

I have tested it
[YU Yureka General] ujilraj:
For further clarification i'm asking this, pardon me...

First i boot into CM12 recovery & flash Back_to_cm11-signed by Abhiram.zip

Then,

Enter fastboot mode & install recovery-yu.img tht belongs to CM11.

Then,

I boot into CM11 recovery & flash any CM11 rom... Rite???
[YU Yureka General] tirta.agung:
A bit confuse

I am a bit confuse here. Could you explain to me what is the different between:

package_extract_file("firmware-update/hyp.mbn", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/hyp");
package_extract_file("firmware-update/sbl1.mbn", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/sbl1");

package_extract_file("firmware-update/NON-HLOS.bin", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modem");

AND

fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash hyp hyp.mbn
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash rpm rpm.mbn
