[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teet1:
They will, but it will probably take forever since Motorola is famous for the slowest update award. For now you might see an update about the stagefright exploit on your phone which I haven't received yet but we will see it soon.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pengwinoid:
Is that new exploit to get around the locked bootloader to achieve root, or is to unlock the bootloader?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teet1:
Never thought of that. According to different sources, StageFright is a remotely exploitable software bug that affects versions 2.2 and newer of Android and allows an attacker to perform arbitrary operations on the victim device through remote code execution and privilege escalation.

Although this is dangerous and malicious we could potentially reverse engineer it and exploit the exploit in our favor to root our phones. Although its highly unlikely since from what I've seen, the exploit isn't public and no one has attempted to do this. Only the person who found it can, who is a really high end security engineer from the Zimperium security firm.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pengwinoid:
That sounds pretty cool, but since it is executed remotely I'm glad its not public.

Hey everyone,

I have some problems while I am playing with my OS.nb.

I know how to flash the phone, extract and pack the NBH. However, I am looking a way to modify/add/delete the softwares/components inside the OS.nb. I know how to add or remove a file in the OS.nb, I just cant find a way to add a software in it. (I know how to add a file, but what i mean is a "software", which is a group of files, and some registries depending on each other, how do u get all those information from a cab/exe?)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] philjohn:
Search for the "Pandora Kitchen" or the "Core Kitchen for hermes", these will allow you do (with a little work on your part) what you need. Look specifically at the "CAB to OEM", and remember to create an initflashfiles.txt that says where each file goes.

Core kitchen is probably better if you want to do some serious cooking, whereas pandora has everything there already to include or exclude.

One word of warning though, Core Kitchen does have a couple of bugs. The only show-stopper I've found is the splash screen generator panel doesn't add the padding required for a hermes device. Not a big problem if you have HardSPL, but it will cause your first flash to hang if you use it!

If you want to replace your splash screens (by including them at the end RUU_Signed.nbh stage in Dutty's tool) then use the guide on mrvanx's site (google mrvanx).

Good luck, and remember to read the forum posts and wiki extensively, this stuff isn't easy for a reason (you are rebuilding an entire operating system).

Hi all, I have a noob question. I want to know if I use a one-click root method like Towelroot or Kingroot, will they have "access" to my phone? In other words, will passwords and the like be stolen from me? Is one method better than the other. I tried searching for an answer to this question, but to no avail. Please forgive me if this was already answered somewhere!

Thanks in advance,

Looks like you shifted from stock to CM and restored all the apps (moto stock apps included) and sensor services is now incompatible with your current ROM.

Have you done downgrade from 5.1 to 4.4.x lately?

It's usually caused by that and it does exactly what it says.

If you didn't downgrade, then maybe you've uninstalled some of the moto apps related, which might have upgraded the fw.

[HTC Desire 601] Justin.notarianni:
This is my first XDA post, so please bear with me.

So I have an htc Zara CL (HTC desire 601) with flashed dirtyunicorns ROM. Everything is good, except my mobile data. Now I don't use data, but it is always on and there is no way to turn it off. Also, I get random drops where the signal has a ! Next to it and says roaming indicator off. Agh! Any help would be appreciated. Here's as much information as I know-

HTC zara_cl

Radio - 1.14.50.0516

rom - dirty unicorns (andrid 5.1.1)

I am rooted, s-off and unlocked bootloader if that helps.
[HTC Desire 601] Reenuip:
I've been having the same issue with dipping reception. My brother has the same exact phone on the same carrier, but his phone is stock. With both next to each other, we get different readings for network strength. Also, the network will occasionally cut out without ever making it apparent, so you have to make a habit of changing preferred network types back and forth to make sure you don't miss calls or texts. As for turning off data completely, I don't think it's possible. I was digging around the settings for you to see if there was anything hidden, but came up with nothing. Unless you are trying to use data, transfers only happen between you and the network for purposes you won't be billed for (as far as I know).

These are among the mild infestation of known bugs with this ROM on this phone. Sadly, no more weeklies are popping up despite huge numbers of changes to the core of the ROM's framework and base software. I fear we may never get a true daily-driver for this hardware. If only I could go back to InsertCoin or stock...

[HTC Excalibur] PCTechNerd:
Hello All. I'm getting my 620 from t-mobile in like 2 days, and I had a quick question.

I know you can get it SIM/CID unlocked from that imei site that costs $40.

I know I can get the phone unlocked from T-mobile by calling them (been with them for 3 years)

Here's my question: Is the type of unlocking that I can get done from T-mobile only the SIM unlock, or does it do the CID unlock too?

If it's only the SIM unlock, does that imei unlock site have a discounted price for only CID unlocking (i searched around everywhere on the site and couldn't find anything on it)? If not, does anyone know any other site where i can get the phone CID unlocked for cheaper than $40.

Thanks in advance

Drew
[HTC Excalibur] cinimod1000:
CID or SIM Unlock

T-Mobile only provides a SIM unlock as far as I am aware. You will need to use imeicheck.co.uk to CID unlock. I have used them twice before, and it works well. However, I am with you - $40 is steep, and my Dash works with T-Mobile's own rom, so I am reluctant to spend the cash. I will be asking them if they would provide a cheaper service, and I am sure they would get loads more business, if thwy would. Let us know if you do ask also....
[HTC Excalibur] PCTechNerd:
I sent them a email asking them if they provided a cheaper service since my Dash will only need the CID unlock.

They replied back saying it's all from one program so they could not provide it cheaper.

looks like I got the shaft from them, rofl.
[HTC Excalibur] indiekiduk:
we believe that if you put on the old bootloader you don't need to cid unlock. Try that.
[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
if you are using a "dash" you will need to CID unlock and flash an old bootloader before you are able to flash another rom

Hello boys and girls!
​

Do you think Z3 can't keep up with the brightness other phones have when we use torch?

I made a MOD using this post.

DISCLAIMER.

I am not responsible if you break your LED, I can't assure you it won't cause any problem on the future, I can only tell you it gets hot if you use it for a long time!

REQUIREMENTS​

1. Z3 on Lollipop Firmware.

2. Root

3. A root file explorer.

DOWNLOAD​

BOOSTED Torch,Camera Flash, Notification LED​

Installation guide

1. Download the file

2. Go to /system/etc and replace the file

3. Change permission to rw-r--r--

4. Reboot and enjoy!​
[Xperia Z3 General] admad:
Interesting,

Torch in Z3 sucks hard, I'm pretty sure they tuned it down to prevent damage. Anyone tested it for a longer period? :)
[Xperia Z3 General] mutarito:
Led is really hot after less than minute.

OP, how to change brightness, let's say to 30% less than now?
[Xperia Z3 General] PuffDaddy_d:
Just navigate to the file's directory using a root explorer, open the original file, edit the LED Torch value anywhere from 1000000 to 1250000, save and reboot. That is the range that offers brightness levels closer to most other phones without making the device over-heat.
[Xperia Z3 General] antkalaitzakis96:
navigate to the file and edit the following values in something lower:

# Max current for Torch (uA)

# Flash LED_If max current (uA)

# Torch max current for camera 3A (uA)
[Xperia Z3 General] Z3 Juan Fran:
Very good this mod is the best thanks

Enviado desde mi D6603 mediante Tapatalk
[Xperia Z3 General] lvlonkey:
This is the line you want to modify in file system/etc/flashled_calc_parameters

#LED If setting for Torch or video recording (uA).

if_torch_vr = 25000 (#could be any value, changed to 500000 in this mod)

Stock value is 25000. Very low. I think 500000 (this mod) is overkill. I used 100000. Before changing, my torch was much dimmer than an iphone6. Now, at 100000 it is slightly brighter. I'm happy with the result. Thanks to OP to bringing this up or I would have never though to mess around with my torch.
[Xperia Z3 General] 0x1DE:
In CPU-Z Thermal section you will find pm8941_tz and emmc_therm. These are the closest thermal sensor to the led. I have some SMT leds at home. Overheat can pop off the silicone top of the led or even melt the solder paste under it. I've set mine to 400000. I think its safe to use the torch with this amperage for 10-15 minutes, but I've seen an iPhone with yellow torch because it was left on while in pocket. :) SMT leds can turn to blue too if something goes wrong, so I always watch the colour, when using it :)

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gantonski:
I was thinking about flashing a different version/ROM to my tablet in an attempt to try and avoid the bricking of the original Y01 device after I receive my new one. I know, it is very selfish... I have never had any heat issues (and i don't take advantage of the gaming power of the tablet - i just use it primarily like a regular tablet).

Has anyone tried - or considered trying - this? Seems like nvidia would make it foolproof... but just thought i'd see what people out there are thinking about this idea.

You have to send the tablet back.. Sure they are sending the replacement first but that so you're not inconvenienced without a tablet until then.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gantonski:
Ah! This is exactly what I was afraid of finding out. The question is...

Do I be a **** and keep it and try to flash a previous version to give to my girlfriend or do I return it and show appreciation for nVidias generous and trustworthy support? Interesting... perhaps I'll flip a coin!! :D, blame my immoral decision on chance.

I don't know if something has change (that post makes it seem like it though) but nvidia originally said it depended on shipping regulations in you're country, they specifically mentioned that it's illegal to ship damaged/defective batteries in Canada, so Canadians keep their old tablet, but in the US it's not illegal, so we have to ship our old one back. But that post seems to say it's optional no mater what, so hopefully that changed. According to that post it wouldn't be wrong to keep it because supposedly they're just going to recycle it.

The lithium battery issue isn't just affecting power users. Plenty of people have reported battery problems (swelling etc.) that were just routine light use folks. The batteries are being recalled at a wide scale instead of just for those who report problems for a reason. Anyone who keeps using the tablet is putting themselves at significant risk that wouldn't likely be covered by insurance.

Well 2-3 days back my phone was looping on booting so i searched for this problem and i found video which said i had to remove my power button from mother board and after doing so my phone worked well and good.

Then i thought anyways my phone is useless so why not root it? Then i went to recovery mode using ADB. But as i dont have power button i couldn't select options in recovery mode. when i remove my battery and restart the phone it again goes in recovery mode.

So please help me with this problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
You should be able to short the power button receiver with a small screwdriver or piece of tin foil as the power button operates in that manner anyway.

That is assuming the back of the button is worn yet the pcb it pushes against is working.

Failing that, try shorting the wires that connect to the power button pcb/receiver.
