[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ionutz6:
Hello all,

I got a friend of mine who came to me with a device-password locked Hermes, which password he cannot recall (actually his girlfriend...). I said I would be willing to give him a hand to unbrick the device. The problem is that I cannot install any ROM on the device, coz I got an error connection right after the screen goes white and the percentage count should normally start.

So I put the Herm in Bootloader (spl-1.06) and try to flash the OliPro Bootloader. The procedure goes correctly until the step where the upgrade itself should begin, counting from 0%... here, I got:

ERROR [262]: Update error: communication error.

I also tried to flash a ROM directly, but since my Bootloader is 1.06, I didn't find a CID match ROM, so it also failed. The Herm is now not bricked, but it stays at the password input screen, so cannot enter windows properly.

Any help on this?

Thanks,

Ionutz

Interesting since you are trying to go around something HTC probably did not want for people to go around due to security....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ionutz6:
yes, i grih you,and normally i wouldnt even try to do such thing, if it hadnt been for a friend of mine which i know.

besides i would like to learn more stuff about my Herm and this is one thing I havent seen discussed here, although i keep reading xda forums for such info.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ionutz6:
just found the solution: i flashed another ROM with same CID since my BL was 1.06, but with BL 1.04. After that, I managed to flash any other ROM and automatically upgrade the SPL to 1.10 or 2.10 Oli accordingly.

If any of you interested and dont get the short explanation, PM me.

cheers,

Io, owner of 2 kicking TyTn's :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
BL 1.06 didnt allow devices with a different CID to be flashed,

eg: my TyTN had the CID: QTEK001 so i couldnt flash a ROM destined for a device with CID: VODAP001

But BL 1.04 had a bug where you COULD flash any ROM to the device regardless of the CID, the first attempt shows a vendor ID error, then try again and it will flash no problem.

The simplest way I would have got past the device security problem would have been a hard reset.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ionutz6:
I know the details about BL 1.04 vs 1.06, thats why I flashed a BL 1.04 ROM, but with the same CID QTEK_001, or smth.

I have to admit though that I never ever thought about doing a simple hard-reset. I guess it would have been to easy, I jumped to more complicate scenarios. Thanks for the help anyway, i gotta learn that. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Stephuhnator:
Thanks mrvanx, glad I read down the whole thread to the part about a simple hard reset working. I lent my 8525 to a friend, thinking he might be interested in buying it, then he didn't have the money, and after I listed it on ebay today, I charged it up to flash to ATT stock, found it password locked, called my friend a few times just getting his voicemail, so tried flashing, and it said the Hermes wasn't connected to the PC...

I figured there would be a solution here at XDA..and POOF, like magic here it is!

So yes, all I had to do was a hard reset, tested and it works, and it was simple, so thanks again mrvanx, although this thread is very old, glad I found it LOL!

Hi!

I have Razr HD from germany.

I was on Stock 4.1.2, that update from OTA to 4.4.2 and now can't connect to any networks.

Short history:

I was on 4.1.2, unlock bootloader, root, flash some CM10 then broke display and buy new phone(Moto X). Several weeks ago i completly broke my Moto X, by new glass(from XT926) and power up my Razr. I want Lolipop, so i start googling about how to install on Razr HD CM12.1 and notice, that i need upgrade to stock 4.4.2, and than install CM12.1.

I have done mistake and flash using RSD stock 4.4.2 from XT926(VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF.xml). Don't clearly remeber what i do after that. as i know, i try install CM11.1, but it rebooting in start screen. After that i notice, that i flash wrong rom.

I flash using RSD 4.1.2(9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQUL-1601_USERSIGNED_S7_USAVANQUO2DE02C.0R_LSAVNQJBO2DE _P014_A004_CFC.xml). All was working fine(wifi, bluetooth, gps, no rebooting). I upgrade from OTA to 4.4.2. Bluetooth is working, but wifi cant connect to networks. I see in settings all available networks, but can't connect to them. And if i flash using TWRP CM12.1(or CM11) in welcome page it rebooting. if i disable wlan module(i try to rename it to wlan.ko.back) all work fine, but wifi and bluetooth not working,

Can anybody help me? I stuck on this and don't know what i need to do to solve this problem...

I attache logcat, dmesg and kmsg....

Hello everyone!

I would like to share my simple-but useful,script!

What's that script?

This script is taking a colors.xml file which you select , and changes all the colors to the one you need.

How can that script be "useful"?

Sometimes when themers want to find out which color (i.e) affects the color of toolbar of an app,are searching in the colors.xml

Instead of searching all the colors.xml,i created that script which changes all the color values to one color of your choise.

This will make all the colors (i.e.) green.So compiling the theme will make you understand what is affected by colors.xml or styles.xml or or or...

Yes but...malware?

Source code

Also its compiled with AutohotKey.that means ,if u open the .exe as text file,there is all the source code there.

How to use it:

Download the zip and extract it.

Run the .exe

The script will do nothing until you press the 'F2' button.

Select the colors.xml you want.

Type the color you want.

Pressing ok ,will create a new modified xml at your desktop

Profit.

Pressing ESC in the operation will exit the script and will remove the produced folder at desktop

Give me some feedback,if that app is running on your computer because i use x64 windows 7

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dievas39:
Hey guys, Ive been having this problem, that at certain times, for example at the gym or a crowded bus, where there are a lot of loud sounds around you, the maximum media volume is not enough for me. I used to have Note 2 with the same problem, but I just rooted it and modified sound config file, but I really want to avoid rooting S6, since its a superior phone and i dont need any benefits root might offer. So is there a way to increase maximum heaphone volume, without rooting your phone? I am using medium-range sony earbuds, hated the new Apple like S6 stock ones (by the way, what do you think of them?), and atm I dont have spare cash for a new model, so replacing the earbuds is out of the question. If not, what is the least-system-modifying root and sound mod? I want to stay as close to stock as possible.

OMG O_0 your my saver THANK YOU VERY MUCH T_T

I flashed the boot,img and it WORKED

ALSO BY THE WAY

I did followed the instruction but they didnt say anything about the boot.img

look

"

On your computer download the Avatar custom ROM file from here.

Then download Google Apps package (from here) – it is not included on the update file so you will have to flash it separately.

Save these files on desktop and don’t unzip.

Now, connect your HTC One X Plus with your computer by using the USB cable.

From desktop transfer the downloaded files on your phone’s SD card.

Then remove the USB cord as the computer is no longer required.

Turn off your smartphone.

Enter your Android device in recovery mode.

From recovery mode select “wipe data factory reset”. Then choose “wipe cache partition”. Pick “advance” and select “wipe dalvick cache”.

Return to recovery and select “install zip from SD card” followed by “choose zip from SD card”.

Pick the Android 4.4.2 OS firmware file and flash the same on your One X+.

Also, pick Google apps package and apply the same on your smartphone.

Perfect; in the end you will have to return to main menu of recovery and select “reboot system now”.

Hi,

I recently obtained an HTC Hermes (MDA Vario II) which I am using with a contract O2 UK SIM card. It's working fine for voice and SMS and the WiFi data connectivity is also OK but I can't connect to O2 GPRS because I don't have the right settings for WAP.

O2 won't give them to me as I'm supposed to get them by running the "get settings" program flashed onto the device, obviously I have the wrong version as the device was originally sold by T-mobile.

If anyone's got working settings for network connectivity and MMS on O2 UK I would be most grateful if you could post them.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conorIRL:
Hey Folks,

I've been interested in ROM dev for a while now and have just started looking at my first project and would appreciate a few pointers where to start with implementing these features. By the way, my project is for a SoM so developing system apps with Root should be no problem.

So, my first set of goals are to be able to disable (ideally, toggle) some system level features such as external mouse/keyboard and power management.

For mouse/keyboard I would like to disable the ability for a user to connect and use these devices - ideally I could toggle this using an app.

For power management I would like the device to just boot up and keep the screen on all the time i.e. never lock, turn off display or go to sleep.

My main question is - are these tasks achievable by doing customisation of a ROM and it's configuration OR will I need to actually alter some of the Android source in order to achieve my goals.

Thanks in advance.

[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
Did you reset after updating? Updating without resetting can cause issues.

Or did you make any build.propchange? Also if still not working. I'd blame xposed.
[AT&T LG G3] uicnren:
It is a known issue with xposed. You can still tether, but you cannot open the setting panel for Tethering & networks. If you just need to enable/disable tethering, you can grab one of many apps/widgets from play store that will let you toggle it on/off.

If you did a full wipe prior to installing, you wont be able to tether. You will need to install your ROM, and before doing more, set up tethering, then if you wish, install exposed. Unless you had it enabled prior to installing xposed, you wont be able to configure it.

If you have a backup where tethering was enabled and you restore to that, it should be able to be at least toggled on/off without needing to configure it first.
