[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gvprvn89:
I own a SE Xperia arc. I have equipped it with CWM 5.5. I have flashed a custom kernel (ArcKnight Kernel) and a custom rom (Cyanogenmod 10). One day, when I was formatting my phone, I accidentally selected to format the /system directory, which wiped the ROM. Now I am not able to install any new ROM since they are giving me Status 7 errors, and even if I clear the getprop statements in the updater-scripts file they were still not able to flash ROMs. The computer is not recognizing the device when plugged in. I would like a refersher on how I can revive my device. I am able to go to recovery and access all options from it, but not any further. Please do help me out guys, as I have tried similar procedures without too much negative results. Thank you for your help in advance.

Whether you are building a ROM with or without a 'kitchen' there are lots of .DSM files. Some of these are 0Bytes, others are tiny (2-3Bytes). What are they? I understand the .RGU files (registry entries), but the .DSM files I don't yet understand. I thought they were referenced by the 'option.xml' file in the \SYS folder (in most kitchens anyway?), however some are, others aren't.

Anyone have any details on this?

Thanks

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] peter petrelli:
Good morning class, today we will be learning about dsm files...

Q:What are dsm files?

A:dsm files are thought to contain important encrypted information about file association.

eg What files are associated with the bluetooth function of your device? Well there's btdrt.dll, bthlink.dll, bthutil.dll, configmanager.dll, configmanager2.dll and so forth. We know this because we've researched the functioning of bluetooth with much detail, using such high tech methods as "What happens if i remove this file...**** my bluetooth doesnt work anymore...."

But how does your device know what files are associated with bluetooth functioning? Well in addition to the info contained in the .exe files it looks inside associated dsm files and decrypts the info thats in there.

Q: This seems confusing, is there some organised way of knowing what dsm files i have? or are they all just randomly put in my rom?

A:.dsm files are referenced by packages.sof. All of them are inside packages.sof

Q: packages.sof looks like a mess, how on earth do i read that?

A:the dsm filenames are just rearranged,

eg

9a6a05e1-cfde-4d32-9a82-85052c4d9de7.dsm appears as

E1 05 6A 9A DE CF 32 4D 9A 82 85 05 2C 4D 9D E7

So basically starting from the left side of the file name you split the first section of the dsm file name into pairs then swap the outside pair, then swap the inside pair.

eg 9a6a05e1 = 9a 6a 05 e1 = E1 05 6A 9A

Then you take the next section and swap the order of the pairs.

eg cfde = cf de = DE CF

Leave the next section alone

eg 9a82 = 9A 82

The last section isnt rearranged either. Its just split into pairs.

eg 85052c4d9de7 = 85 05 2C 4D 9D E7

So adding up all our sections we see that 9a6a05e1-cfde-4d32-9a82-85052c4d9de7.dsm is represented by E1 05 6A 9A DE CF 32 4D 9A 82 85 05 2C 4D 9D E7 inside packages.sof

Q: But how do i know what files are associated with my .dsm files?

A: A mysterious and clever man known only as bepe, gave us some tools. Some say that bepe fell from heaven, others say he was raised by a pack of wild german ladies with boobs as big as car tyres. Ask your history teacher about bepe.

Homework

Write a two-page report detailing why some dsm files (eg b50d833e-7d3f-44ac-615f-2da2c715cd93.dsm) appear in packages.sof but apparently dont reference any files....

Class dismissed, if anybody wants to ask me any questions, i'll be at the bar drinking beer.

Disclaimer: I wrote this with my best intentions, just a bit of fun. This is what i know about dsm files, it is immensely far from being 100% proven theory yet. I know the theory is flawed but it is a work in progress. If you think im wrong then feel free to correct me.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ADB100:
OK, thanks for that. That is the first time I have seen that........

Another couple of questions then if you will oblige me?

1. In the various Kitchens that are out there, there is usually an 'option.xml' file in the \SYS directory that describes the various system packages that can be included in the ROM so they can be selected or excluded. The file is broken up into sections - transcriber, Enterprise, Games, Office etc. Listed in each of these sections are GUID's with a type and a GUID. Type is either 'p' or 'i'; 'p' references the .RGU file containing the registry settings. However the entries with the type 'i' don't seem to reference any GUID-named files I can see? I have applied the conversion logic you detail and the .DSM files don't tie-up with the GUID references, these may be unrelated though? For example the Autoupdate section:

<Item name="Autoupdate" group="System" checked="true">
<Guid type="p">8be73c02-3437-4c06-88c9-0a2e25bfaf2c</Guid>
<Guid type="i">c05687f7-7d0a-4738-9ecd-e043658f40cd</Guid>
</Item>

I can see the .RGU file (8be73c02-3437-4c06-88c9-0a2e25bfaf2c.rgu), however the second .DSM file is '89fc53c1-ec65-4648-9972-24afb3dcad3c.dsm', if the conversion logic you list is correct it should begin with c153fc89? Unless of course these are unrelated, however the number of GUID's listed always ties-up with the number of .DSM/.RGU files in each package (in different folders - e.g. Autoupdate, Autoupdate_Lang_0409).

2. How do you read the packages.sof? It just appears as few lines of unreadable characters in either Notepad or Wordpad?

3. Can .DSM files be transferred between ROM sources? In my quest to get L2TP/IPSec VPN working in the 5.2.1413 ROM I have been transferring the Enterprise files (ipsec.dll, ipsecsvc.dll, scard.dll & winscard.dll) from earlier ROMs (and other device ROMs) but have not had any (much?) success. Is there some logic to transferring files between ROMs?

Thanks

Andy
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] peter petrelli:
1. At this point in time I have no explanation as to why there are absent dsm's. I cant locate the dsm file you describe in any rom, i can only locate references to it. I can only speculate about why this is so.

2. Use a hex editor.

3. Yes you can trasfer dsm files but with mixed results. I have swapped some dsm files but when i did i moved the files associated with them as well. I had mixed success doing this.

I have exams on at the moment so I will look into this matter further towards the end of the month. Sorry my answers to your questions are so short. Good luck with your L2TP/IPSec VPN.

Hi, I realized that when I turn off the 4G network data the phone changes to 3G, then if I turn on data again it turns 4G on after 20 seconds.

I had tried to use the *#*#4636#*#* method and put "LTE only", it works, but after I turn off data again the setting returns to GSM.

Other phones have 4G network ON don't matter if data is on or off.

There's a way to force 4G network all the time like the other phones have? :confused:

Then I opened CWM recovery and tried to flash cyanogenmod, but it didn't work. Tried this several times, every time wiping dalvik, cache and factory resetting, I even tried downloading stock rom and flashing it with odin but it didn't work either.

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hi Guys

I'm working on reviving a soft-bricked HTC One S (tmobile, I suspect S4)

I am unable to install any android ROM that I have been able to find, because HBOOT is still version 1.14, and they all require a higher version

TL;DR;

I think I just need a ROM that will install on a HTC ONE S (ville) for HBOOT version 1.14

I'm using an OSX machine, so I don't have the ability to run RUU.exe files. (is there a way to do this?) Attempts at flashing wiht RUU.zip have uniformly failed.

My attempts to upgrade HBOOT via the firmware upgrades with "fastboot flash zip <file>" have not had any luck, I suspect because the phone

is still S-ON (More or less following this instruction set http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39216236#post39216236 )

My attempts at to remove S-ON using this explanation ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2155135 ) haven't had much for potentially one of two reasons:

Possible reason #1) Step 6 calls for a "fastboot oem boot", which then tries to boot, but there is no working android install. I tried working around this by calling "fastboot oem gotohboot" instead and then booting into recovery (TWRP).

possible reason #2) adb shell doesn't seem to have access to su for me. ("adb shell su" returns "/sbin/sh: su: not found"). I have been assuming that this is the actual problem. I am assuming that this is because I don't have superuser access.

The SuperBoot package doesn't seem to work ( I grabbed it from here http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?file=r1-ville-superboot.zip referred by http://www.android.gs/root-htc-one-s/ ). I *think* it doesn't work because there is no android version to boot into.

So in short it seems that:

Android requires higher HBOOT requires S-OFF requires Superuser requires Android

Thanks so much for any direction or help, or even just commiseration!

For reference at the moment it is/has:

unlocked

HBoot 1.14 and fastboot is working well, and behaves as expected.

Without root or xposed it's uses are much more limited, but I had it setup with Nova Launcher so when I double tapped on the home screen it ran the "hibernate and lock screen" action. Otherwise, you have to manually press hibernate since it can't do it automatically without root.

Hi,

Dropped my N6 as per the drop thread. Received my replacement unit from Motorola. Trying to get Helium backups going. Since the phone is encrypted it keeps popping up asking for a password. I put one in and say start backup, nothing happens. I tried both PC Download and internal backup. Last tried I only picked 8 small apps and its not finishing. I thought maybe the pattern lock sequence have something to do with it, so I changed it to a pin code. Still no dice.

Has anyone successfully ran Helium on an encrypted (5.1) N6? I tried the Motorola migrate app, but that one I cant get in receive mode on new phone. I have my old N6 backuped with Google but when I try and restore from the new phone it only finds my tablet backup. This should all be so simple but yet very hard.

I think that smartwatch 3 has so much potential, but Sony aren't making use of it and they could easily sell loads. Firstly smartwatch has the most features in a watch such as GPS and WiFi, 2 day battery life and its even one of the cheapest. Now they have a potential of making the watch look amazing, mainly because the core watch can come out. Sony have created a silver metal band but you can't buy the band only. Sony could make different t variants of the band such as black or brushed metal making the watch more appealing something like that Apple watch. After seeing the G watch urbane and its basically the g watch R but in a different case. Sony could do that have different design cases. I have the Sw3 and love it but the look it's starting to get dull now that they are a lot of better looking watches. Sony have something great they can make it really good. What do you guys think?
