[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beut:
S Pen and LCD cables are different and not related, they have their own connector. S Pen uses Wacom technology embedded in LCD, its cable is at the top as seen in the picture,

If disconnect this cable, your S Pen will not function. In the picture, motherboard of Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, a similar tablet like Galaxy Note Pro, everything is the same except it doesn't have the connector or input for S Pen cable. I can use the motherboard of Galaxy Tab Pro with a LCD assembly of Galaxy Note Pro without any problem. Everything works except S Pen. The LCD cable has nothing to do or control S Pen function, it just used for display images.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoenixbennu:
Well I am wondering how it can be having an issue then. The top cables I thought were for the lcd and the digitizer, and those cables are just fine. I have checked them and rechecked them. They are working normally. Even touch control is working fine.

The only thing causing issue is spen. The spen works on small sections of the screen, and the calibration is completely off. If I touch the small sports it works in (and those spots dont always works) it will act like I am hitting a completely random part of the screen.

The only connector that is broken is the one I pictured. When I was trying to play with the connector to inspect it, more of it broke off easily and the spen seems to become less responsive.

I am also wondering about the exact configuration of that connector. It seems like there are connections that are on the broken part. The underside of the top part of the connection seemed to have metallic striping on it, and when the cable is inserted you can clearly see metallic prongs trying to connect to the top part.

My assumption is the the flex cable is serving to connect to the base connector that it lays on, and then there are spots where signal is transmitted through curved prongs to the topside of the cable where it connected to the missing part of the connector.

Since the LCD is working normlly otherwise, I can only assume that it has to be for some other purpose other than the LCD.

Of course, its hard to say. Its possible that the connector you pictures is simply bad and needs replacing, or that the motherboard has an issue, or something.

I just wish I knew so I could pinpoint it, get a replacement part, and fix it.

Thank you for your input, too. It is appreciated :)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoenixbennu:
This image might be a little better (same image, but circled)

Basically, as my just recent posting says, the beige connector is whats broken. The flex cable is perfectly fine, and then black hingle works perfectly fine to hold everything in place. Whats broken is the beige part. There are metal prongs the go undr and over the flex ribbon after it is inserted. You can see some of them in the picture. Since the cable does not have connectors on the top of it, I can only assume that the prongs on the top are actually starting from a connection to the ribbon on the bottom, and looping up to the top and should contact with a broken part of the connector, but because it is missing, that part is not getting a signal.

I was told in another threat that this connector also controls spen pessure and other attributes. So I am assuming the the underside is for image and the top side is for s pen.

However, I could be completely wrong and the prongs could be nothing more than just a way to hold it in place.

As a side note, I did originally just assume this was a display only cable and used electrical tape to prevent any shorts or anything, but it made no difference with anything.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beut:
I confirm that each cable: touchscreen, S Pen, and LCD works independently. Top left is touchscreen, top right is S Pen. LCD cable is above the battery.

-Disconnect the top left cable ( touchscreen ): your screen will not response to touch but S pen

-Disconnect the top right cable ( S Pen ): your screen will not response to S Pen but touch by finger.

-Disconnect the LCD cable: you will see the black screen, but your screen will response to touch or S Pen. If connected to TV via HDMI adapter, your tablet will response to whatever you do on the display of TV.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoenixbennu:
Thank you for the additional information :)

I was able to get it fixed, thanks to the help.

I had detached and reattached all connections I could, including the s pen flex cable, trying to make sure everything was set properly, and I was still having issues. Finally, after unplugging it and plugging it back in while the tablet was turned on, it works fine now. I can only assume it was not all the way in, even though it appeared to be and was held securely, or the fact that the tablet was turned on may have help if there was an issue with power getting to that cable. Either way, it works now.

I hope it keeps working, but it all seems to be working fine now. :)

You can confirm your S Pen function in factory mode, no calibration, just Pass or Fail

Use calculator

Then

Use the Wacom test to see your S Pen work normally, besides there are many other tests for hardware components.
[Verizon LG G4] Crsdr37:
Now that we have root is there any way to trick Google drive into adding the free 100 GB of storage some carriers gave and Verizon took away.
[Verizon LG G4] Crsdr37:
Bump
[Verizon LG G4] phillymade:
being it's not an option on vzw, why not change built prop to trick or to think it's another variant that is eligabe.
[Verizon LG G4] Crsdr37:
Tried editing through phone got someone from Sprint to upload theirs. However it won't let me put LGLS991. Stops at the first 9. Have not tried editing through a PC though
[Verizon LG G4] player911:
Use a different editor. You should be able to change the build type in the build.prop and trick google drive into allowing the 100gb storage. Just be careful with the build.prop because screwing something up will cause you to boot loop. So backup important data in case you have to flash the KDZ to restore your phone. You should be able to adb push a backup build.prop from a console to recover a bootloop but above is worst case scenario.
[Verizon LG G4] Crsdr37:
Changed a couple lines and upon reboot they were unchanged lol. Model and Product... Set them to Sprint and when it rebooted they were back to Verizon
[Verizon LG G4] psycho_asylum:
Since I'm a little daring, I just straight up replaced the build.prop on my VS986 with the one from the LS991. It booted just fine, without a data connection, but WiFi works. I cleared Drive data and reopened the app. No prompt during the Product Tour regarding extra space. I think we can safely say that it isn't checking the build.prop.
[Verizon LG G4] DonJuan692006:
Another possibility is that the check is done whenever you initially sign into the device with your Google account.
[Verizon LG G4] player911:
Do you mean when you first boot after a factory reset? I dunno. Google drive comes preloaded but I don't think it initially starts until you first load it. Is the promotion still even still valid?

I know there were some wishy/washy responses from Google about the promo that it was "fake" or "rumored and untrue".

Maybe you have to uninstall the Google Drive app and install fresh
[Verizon LG G4] DonJuan692006:
Correct. When you first login to the device you should get an email notification stating so. I'm sure that they collect the device data at that point for stuff like that promotion to do a cross-check when you login to the app.
[Verizon LG G4] player911:
So, really, the only way would be to flash a rom of a variant that is in that promotion.

Still pretty stupid. I saw the ad. It clearly states "Buy a G4 and get 100gb free".

LG has always done stuff like this with storage. I remember a few LG phones coming with DropBox and other storage promos.

So here it is. WHAT IF you factory format the phone. Swap out the build.prop PRIOR to first boot (using the COM method maybe?). I am not sure you can ADB push the file over before setting it up.

OR you can get ballsy and flash the "rooted sprint system image" and see if it boots. I would think the worst case scenerio would require a KDZ back, but hopefully able to boot, grab the promotion, flash the Verizon rooted System image, and reboot again into a normal rooted verizon rom.
[Verizon LG G4] DonJuan692006:
I'm thinking a simpler solution would be to remove your Google account, modify the build.prop, and sign back in. Of course, this is all speculation.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] palmbeer:
possible ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] pof:
Probably yes, but we don't have kaiser yet to know it.

You know where can I buy one?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jameshuang:
Kaiser available now in Taiwan as 9110

Hi pof,

As title. Let me know if you want to get one. I am more than happy to assist you to get one from Taiwan. :)

Regards,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stesa:
can you tell us more about thx :)

it's dopod brand or what ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] palmbeer:
No idea where you can buy one at the moment.

All i know otherwise is that it's known as the HTC P4550...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] xxnoelziexx:
Ebay is your best bet at the moment.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stesa:
it seem you are tyred of your two kaiser..... :P

but i've seen you don't send in italy..... :P and let me tell....your price really isn't popular :=)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] xxnoelziexx:
Me tired of two kaisers? I have had around 20 Kaisers so far, I currently use one as my main phone :-) Well price is right if you want one now HTC have just pushed the date back for these now. So it is looking like October release now so I guess most people will be waiting even longer now and some lucky people will not have too :-)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stesa:
pre-order now at expansys

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Hewlit:
what do you do for a living?

do you work for HTC? are you a beta tester of those products?

god, i envy you :D !

you are so lucky!!!

i would like to buy one, but unfortunatley i am out of money, so ... no kaiser for me. i will wait for the release date and for the price to dropp.

Back on topic with this..

Seeing that the Kaiser is now officially released (to some places..)

Has anyone happened to work on a CID unlocker?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] B0MBACI:
Why there isnt any free cid unlock programme for the htc p4350
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] zaharakis:
because and the free programmes someone must try hard to make them...so we have to donate to developers ho spent their free time, to give as for free the solutions ;)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] austinsnyc:
If AT-T dosent drop the ball which i heard they just did and delayed the launch of the kaiser to who knows when. I am trying to find one for sale her in NYC that is in a sealed Box as i dont want any used phone. But back to the to point yes i will be joining the new peeps as soon as i get my mits on one of these babys! Tell me is it alot faster than the Hermes?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aublumberg:
Oh yes it definitely is ... much more snappier ..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] HTCFAN0923:
Try Mobile City Online. They're located in Tribeca and have the Kaiser. I'm starting my new job wit ATT Oct. 1st so As soon as I can..I'll get the kaiser...I'd rather have the HTC version this time around. Makes more sense for me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] austinsnyc:
Thank you for the INFO as soon as I read your post i went and bought the Kaiser from the store you mentioned!! Nice place i also have to add.. SO i will now be an active member of the Kaiser forum and helping the ROM cooking and such anyway i can!!!

welcome home

welcome to your new home. I have dumped the latest wm6 kaiser rom from this forum and so tempted to create a custom rom. but to be fair the wm6 rom on kaiser is very stable apart from the internet bug.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] austinsnyc:
well mine is still sitting in the box untill i have time to play later tonight. Can you guys fill me in on the known bugs that we are having now? I have heard BT and you just mentioned IE whats the bug with IE?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] RemE:
IE slows to a crawl and hangs when scrolling down long pages using TouchFlo. People are using Opera Mini for now as it's smoother. There's debate at to what's the cause, possibly Touch-Flo.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] austinsnyc:
I have noticed if you let the page load all the way before scrolling this does not happen atleast on my Kaiser. I dont use the touchflow to much though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Entropy512:
Are there even any locked Kaisers available? To my knowledge the only ones out so far are unlocked/unbranded.

Hard to break a locking scheme when no phones are locked?

(Or are HTC-branded devices SIM-unlocked but CID-locked to prevent ROM flexibility?)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] pof:
sim-unlocked but cid-locked.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] austinsnyc:
So what are the main differences you have seen so far pof between the Kaiser and the hermes as far as CID-unlocking goes? Do you think we are going have a harder time unlocking this and making Hard-SPL's than you did for the hermes?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] pof:
kaiser has no standalone IPL, the hardware initialization routines are embedded in the SPL. This made things a bit easier because we don't have to patch the IPL here to skip reading the SPL from NAND. On the other side, kaiser has two CPU cores (400MHz ARM11 used for OS and 274MHz ARM9 used for Radio), when we jump to a patched SPL placed in RAM the radio core is not properly restarted, and the SPL detects it and soft-resets the device, thus loading the SPL from nand instead of the one placed in RAM. This was a bit confusing at the beginning, until the reset routine was found, because it made me think the SPL was read from NAND and I was attempting to patch the wrong routine.

After skipping the reset routine, the SPL loads successfully and patching it to skip signature checking is just the same as Des did in Hermes & Trinity. The radio however is not responsive because hardware is not properly initialized when the SPL is loaded from RAM, and that's where I am now. Will try to fix it if I can, otherwise I will release a SSPL-like utility which will serve just as a bootloader to flash a patched SPL in NAND, thus having a working radio again after reset.

As a demonstration that it works, see attached photo (SPL string modified)... for the final release please wait a bit, until I am happy with the solution and have tested all the patches :)

As for SIM-unlocking, with kaiser will be much harder than with previous devices, because the radio has now its own RSA signature, checked by the radio bootloader and you can't flash a patched radio on it, see output from usb monitor when trying to flash a modified radio on kaiser:

002262: Bulk or Interrupt Transfer (UP), 25.09.2007 22:16:09.3748848 +0.7110224

@pof:

I hope a different SPL gives you a new angle...

What I don't quite understand yet is:

When you (or someone else) finds a way to CID-unlock the Kaiser, the next step would be to create a RUU, right?

Is that an easy step once you know how to CID-unlock (or patch the SPL)?

I would love to see and test the first custom Kaiser ROM with 3D cube...

Not because I need it, but just because I can...

:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] pof:
@Syrius_B: Thanks mate :)

@rvdgeer: I like those "old" SPL's because they don't have the reset routine present on newer SPLs which hang the device.

Once the CID unlocker is released you can use PkgTool + BuildOS + ImgfsTools + htcrt to cook your own rom.

I could release it now but most of you'll not be happy with it's user-friendliness, patience is the greatest of all virtues :rolleyes:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] duttythroy:
I cant wait wait, waiting patiently:rolleyes:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rvdgeer:
I already hoped a different SPL would help!

But I'm really glad to hear it doesn't have the reset routine, cause I know this was causing troubles...

Wise words! :)

I know I have to be patient, but it's hard ;)

At the same time I realise you're absolutely right:

We don't want a buggy product, so we'll wait...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] austinsnyc:
Pof could you release to those of us that cook are own ROM's that way we can get started on testing and cooking please I hope I have a nice present in my PM's lol..

Also can you explain the process for dumping and cooking is it the same as Hermes as far as using Taz's tools to dump the ROM. Lets say for Hermes I would put C:/xda/NBSplit -hermes OS.nb and start the whole dumping and rebuilding process, what would the command line be for the Kaiser?

Last question as far as extracting radio's from ROM's once we have a user friendly CID-unlocker can we use the Hermes Custom_RUU wrapper to wrap ROM's and Radio's or is it going to have to be a complete new wrapper?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] austinsnyc:
Hey Pof,

Any updates in the world of CID_Unlocking for Kaiser? Did you find any new things in the new SPL that was posted the other day? I am eondering why they came out with a different SPL so soon when it seems that almost all Kaisers have the SPL in my SIG
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] pof:
CID unlocker will be published later this week i hope... with a nice surprise ;)

Regarding Kaiser SPL versions, almost one different on each ROM... rom 1.56 comes with SPL-1.56, rom 1.50 comes with SPL-1.50, rom 1.81 comes with SPL-1.81, etc... but not any major differences between them.
