Do get same error with camera mod?

http://xdaforums.com/g4/themes-apps/root-60fps-camera-100-photo-quality-t3129460
[G4 Android Development] barcodelinux:
No. I flashed the 60fps mood over the H815 stock rom a few weeks ago.
[G4 Android Development] MicroMod777:
Odd as I used the same info in the camera script for the patch.
[G4 Android Development] barcodelinux:
I looked at autoprime's updater-script from here.

It uses the

package_extract_file("file.name", "/path/to/extract");

command instead of the

package_extract_dir("file.name", "/path/to/extract");

My takeaway is that since you are trying to flash system.img, which is a file, you have to use the package_extract_file command. If we had a .zip file with a compressed directory named "system", you would then use the package_extract_dir command.

Since I already have the files on my Linux lappy, I will edit the updater-script and let you know how it goes.
[G4 Android Development] MicroMod777:
Let me know if works! Thanks
[G4 Android Development] barcodelinux:
So I edited the updater-script for all 3 files and they flashed successfully. Only problem is that it is now stuck at the bootloader with pulsing blue LED. I'll just restore but I'm not going to be able to mess with it anymore tonight. Feel free to modify the scripts.

Did u see T-Mobile boot animation?
[G4 Android Development] barcodelinux:
No. Just hung at the bootloader. That tells me that the kernel didn't even boot.
[G4 Android Development] MicroMod777:
Odd as the rom.zip has original H815 eu boot.img and patch has all modules.
[G4 Android Development] barcodelinux:
I guess I could flash each of the files manually via fastboot just to be sure. Not sure what that would do for us though.
[G4 Android Development] MicroMod777:
Naw, don't worry about it like that.

If you have more time how about you just flash the rom.zip and this new H815 modules patch only and see if it boots.

[G4 Android Development] barcodelinux:
Ok. This time I copied the TWRP log. It looks like the H811 system.img file is too big for the H815 /system partition. See below. What size is the H811 /system partition?

Also, you don't have to put the "run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");" in your updater-script since TWRP already mounts /system and /data. That's where the "E:Unable to mount '/system'" error comes from. It can't mount a block device to a mountpoint that is already in use, hence the "run_program: child exited with status 255" error above.
[G4 Android Development] MicroMod777:
These scripts work on H811. Guess H815 is a whole different beast!
[G4 Android Development] barcodelinux:
Yeah, the the partition sizes must be different. What size is /system on the H811?

I would just extract the system image from the kdz and just debloat it enough to fit onto the H815 but I'm not sure there is a way to do it in Linux. I know there is a win32 GUI kdz/tot extractor, but nothing that I know of that works for Linux. Any ideas?
[G4 Android Development] MicroMod777:
I need some way to extract h815 system.img and repack it with h811.
[G4 Android Development] barcodelinux:
In Linux, you can just mount the image file, edit the directory, and unmount it. Not sure in Windows.
[G4 Android Development] demkantor:
Not sure if work is still being done here but I have a h815 model and I use T-Mobile, all works great other than no WiFi calling

No an end all for me (or the wife as the I gave the phone to her) but it could be a nice touch

If partitions differ between the devices maybe we can flash the T-Mobile bootloader over first and then try. Would like to look deeper into the differences first but this often works between different models of the same phone (but not always so do just flash without checking into things first)
[G4 Android Development] Teo032:
Just started browsing over here to see if T-mobile Wifi calling/rom is in the works for the H815 model and I found this thread. Hopefully op jumps back on this project.
[G4 Android Development] MicroMod777:
Sorry. I stopped development. Too difficult for me to make it work without having device.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2PMintheAM:
I tend to get confused about which ROMs are compatible with my device.

I know there are Sprint specific Galaxy Note 4 roms, but I get confused when I have problems installing a ROM and I ask for support and I'm told "Oh! The reason it's not working is because of you go in about phone and look at section A, yours says "ABC" at the end, the ROM you tried to install was meant for Sprint Note 4's that end in "DEF"

And I'm just like.. wat.

I'm trying to learn and trying to absorb as much as I can from threads that already exist, but with certain issues I just can't help but make my own thread because I can't find a solid enough answer.

So. My Problem:

I attached pictures of my "About Phone" section. I'm rooted but with no custom ROM. Which ROMs will be compatible with my device? I would like to find a CM ROM and a Touchwiz ROM as I like to switch between the two occasionally.

I just don't want to run into the problem again where odin keeps failing and my phone is unavailable for an entire night simply because I tried a ROM that won't work with my situation.

Thanks!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenjesse:
You are currently running the 3rd release of lollipop for the sprint note 4, that being OF5. (and yes the last 3 letter/numbers identify the version of any rom on any phone)

The last kitkat release was NK2, then came the 1st Lollipop OB7 release. Up to this point downgrading was and is still possible.

Then came the OE1 release of lollipop and the ability to downgrade vanished because as well as there being no official "tar" file released by Sammy for the OE1 rom. Once on OE1 there was no going back and the only custom rom choices were Cyanagen (CM) or as was found out the ob7 based Noterized rom.

Then lollipop OF5 (the one your on) was released along with this time an official Sammy "tar" file. Your custom rom choices are the same as OE1. All roms up to OF5 are rootable.

Lastly is the OG5 major (meaning big@600+MB) 5.1.1 lollipop release. Not rootable as of this writing but the dev's are working on it and we all are waiting for the "tar" file and kernel source to drop.

And that is the recent history of the sprint note 4 so far. As to your question;

Sac's ported S6 rom, Noterized, and CM. Check these out in the "development" threads and do always, always back a backup in recovery before doing anything once you are rooted. And keep on reading, you'll get there.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] npjohnson:
Good advice you gave him. One minor comment.

Samsung doesn't release TARs for any device.... They are hand made. You pull the unmodified partitions, and then TAR them, then run them through an MD5 program that attaches an MD5 Sum to it.

ODIN is a Samsung internal program that gets leaked pretty often. This allows us to interface with download mode and flash the tar.md5 files (or just tar's but md5'd ones are safer due to integrity checks).

So there is no Samsung official TAR. Nor Official ODIN software. Either leaked, or hand made.

I grabbed anie.tar via kies from sammobile. Thought that was official. Was I wrong?

"AN-21 U" - Unbranded 6.2" 2 DIN 4.4.2 Car Tried rooting now lost BT and WIFI HELP

I tried rooting my device using BAIDU root, now lost bluetooth and wifi and didnt root. HELP!

Android Version 4.4.2

MCU version 4.3.11.1-11-50-454101

Also tried factory reset using the 7890 password but it loops forever. After a couple hours it still doing the factory reset until I turn it off and back on with no changes.

If someone can tell me how can I effectively factory reset this unit I would really appreciate it. Mine has no home button.

Cant get in the fastboot mode either.

I tried pressing the reset button with the power button and it tries to update but nothing else.
[Android Head-Units] curson_dax:
Hi!

Excactly same issue here.

Don't know exactly if my equipment is an AN-21 or a variation of. But passwords are the same (7890, 123456 and john@tw-desktop) and kind of version it could be. No visual signs outside of the equipment.

Only difference is that has a RK3066 processor.

MCU version: 4.3.10-11-10-450101

System version: 2.9.4_20150316

DVD Version: 2.13.13.1-860mc

Also factory reset didn't work. Re-choosing MCU version inside extra settings didn't work too.

Last resort if there is no answer is try to do image update with same of the Huifei. Seeing the kind of update on the extra settings it appears to be compatible cos has sepperated mcu and firmware updates.

Configuration of the bluetooth is lost, I mean name, pin, etc. and if is not stored when I reconfigure.

The WiFi detects SSID networks, for example WiFI zone of my phone, but doesn't connect with any on the proccess of adquiring IP address saying poor connection quality (not checked on config avoid bad connections).

Waiting for any help before raising the axe!
[Android Head-Units] curson_dax:
More info that may help:

Managed to install a system info app. Confirm that my proccessor is an Cortex A9 so it's a variation of AN-21 but 7''.

On About device says android 4.4.2 but the app says 4.2

Hardware appears to function ok and all function managed by mcu,. cos radio, music, GPS, are perfect, my phone connect via bluetooth with the device ok , but on device screen there is nothing detected, perhaps some part of firmware corrupted on rooting proccess.

Wifi has same problem, it detect even weak signas as I drive on street, but can't connect, perhaps same comunication problem.

It seems that is a problem reading and writing parameters, not a hardware failure.

I believe that a reflash of the firmware must solve the problem. But I can't find same release. Perhaps a downgrade is only way to solve the problem by now, my doubt is if the proccess of flashing erase contents (format partitions) for the case any actual file may conflict with the downgrade version.

Still waiting any word of wisdom....
[Android Head-Units] curson_dax:
Solved!!!

As I supossed, the problem was some corruption of files, not hardware.

Re-flashed with version 2.9.5 and everything it's working perfect!!!!!!!

No needed to reflash mcu.
[Android Head-Units] gapman56:
So you are my only hope to solve this too

Can you please tell me how to reflash it?

I cannot enter in download mode. I tried pressing power and reset button but didnt work.
[Android Head-Units] curson_dax:
The combination of, from being power-down, reset+power, release reset, 2 seconds, release power, works for me.

Did you tried using the option firmware update from the general settings submenu?

One more thing, reset to factory now also works and it takes only seconds!!!

For the firmware version I downloaded from here

4pda.ru/forum/lofiversion/index.php?t522762.html (sorry I don't have the sufficient posts to be enable to post urls :( )

If you do not know rumanian, copy and paste the whole url on google and on the find list use option translate. It is not perfect but works for me :)
[Android Head-Units] gapman56:
Thank you

Your solution worked perfect. Although the display is different now, (not sure if its an upgrade or downgrade) it solved the problem. Im able to connect wifi and bluetooth again!

No back to the original reason for trying to root it was because I wanted to connect a modem and the app for this is for rooted devices.

Any ideas?
[Android Head-Units] curson_dax:
Perhaps you downloaded another vendor version, at least I read there are 3 different customisations. Mine is that with the snow and trees background image.

I just terminate tests of rooting. With Baidu 2001 no problem at all, no further corruption of wifi or BT, it has the ability to root. But root is missing on reboot. Have to investigate a little.

Regards.
[Android Head-Units] gapman56:
Where you able to root it successfully?

Im scared now to loose wifi and bt again.
[Android Head-Units] curson_dax:
Nahhh, once you know it's not hardware problem, know how to reflash, have the firmware, there's no problem. Always can start over and over.

I will write down the phrase I have on the car forum I modereate, it is in spanish, but can be translated with easy.

"La categoría de vencido sólo se alcanza después de haber luchado y es lo que distingue del desertor y del cobarde"

Good Luck!!!

Getting Closer.

I came across with this feed from the site:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Tonghai_Create_AN-21_U#For_Software_Versions_2.7.38_and_up

And is very specify about which app to use depending on the system version. Using the one indicated there, was able to root too, but lost it at reboot .

I thought to share it with you because there were more tips you may find useful.
[Android Head-Units] curson_dax:
More info my friend.

Not yet all the work but with good news.

I was reading some posts across the universe, and decided to to this:

1 - format the equipment completly. This is done with a special firmware called fullformat (fullformat.rar on the repository I mentioned to you some posts above)

2 - flash the version 2.8.8 (2.8.8_TT_preroot.zip on repository)

3 - install and run Baiduroot_2001.apk inside the zip 2.8.8

rooted effectively.

3 - install CWM SuperUser.apk inside the zip 2.8.8

runn supersu, update binary (normal install) when Baidu ask for root access (is easy to recognize cos has a counter decrementing on option)

4 - reboot

5 - install rootchecker from play store.

6 - run rootchecker and agree supersu asking permission of root.

7 - uninstall baidu

8 - reboot

9 - re check root with rootchecker and voila, root doesn't dissappear.

Now I am at this point. Very happy indeed. For the time here 22:00hs (I don t know were you live, here is Argentina).

Tomorrow

10 - update firmware with last version 2.9.5 and check for root not lost.

11 - if root lost -> goto 1 and stop on step 9 untill more information to root last version.

Bye!!!!!
[Android Head-Units] curson_dax:
Ok, Just go to point 9.

The only firmware that stays rooted is that 2.8.8 permroot thay I downloaded.

With that firmware also works "ppp widget" (version obsolete of widget, not ver 2) with a Huawei 176 dongle.

[Android Head-Units] gapman56:
Thank you for valuable information. I was able to perm root using the previous method and then upgraded to 2.9.5 and tried to perm root using the latest method but when I try to access gocsdk file, inside the sys/bin folder is empty, which suggests me that the temp root is not working although baidu messages ok.

Any suggestions?
[Android Head-Units] curson_dax:
Use "RootChecker" for checking rooting process.

I have this problem at first using X-plore as a file explorer with no root access, al directories with no permissions are shown as empty.

I've redone all the process this weekend directly flashing the format firmware, then a fresh 2.9.5, and root whith the process of the post

baidu

move gocsdk to gocsdk.bin

create gocsdk as indicated

install supersu

reboot

check root with rootchecker

remove baidu

reboot

check root with rootchecker

And worked again with a fresh 2.9.5.
[Nexus 6  General] rock7632:
I just got off the phone with Google store support about getting my Nexus 6 replaced because of some issues and the rep assured me that the replacement device was going to be brand new and not refurbished. When I got the email from them with the link to order a replacement it said "Your replacement will be a refurbished device which means it has been reconditioned to strict factory standards and like-new conditions to operate according to its original factory specifications".

When I go to the link in the email it takes me to a checkout page which also says Nexus 6 32GB (refurbished). I called them back about this and now they tell me that they only send out refurbished replacements which is bs because I've gotten a couple of replacements from them and they have always been brand new. Anyone else had this experience?
[Nexus 6  General] XxCyberHackerxX:
Nope
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
its normal for them to only send refurbished devices later on in a devices life. at first, they are only new, because no old exist. as people send them back, they start sending only refurbushed devices. they should be in very good condition. if not, then id complain.
