[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deshx:
Thanks for replying, I know it's a huge upgrade from XGo, but I am a bit worried, because the phone was released 2 years ago, and I think it is about to go out of production and support. I don't really care about MM update, as long as stock 5.1 is stable enough (or can be made stable enough after rooting).

What are the downsides of buying a 2 year old phone?

And,

Since Sony is launching Z6 series next quarter or so, the price of z3c are bound to go down, the gap currently is just under 3500 INR (~50 USD), as seen on Flipkart today. So, should I wait?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
No harm in going with Z3c, if you're fine with paying a little more. As far as z6, etc., the way things move these days, there's always going to be something newer by the time you get what's new. I guess as long as you stay in the same platform and family, you can just make backups and do the trade-in/upgrade thing every 6 months or so. Personally I'm fine with Z1c, but I wouldn't be surprised to see me getting a Z3c or Z5c once the prices go down.

Only in S6 edge+ (plus) the visual effects do not work with MP3 music.

Visual effects: SPECTRUM / OSCILLOSCOPE / WAVE

Other music formats:

AAC, AMR, FLAC, M4A, OGG, WAV and WMA previews work properly.

Various music players have the problem, especially the MusiX Pro.

Anyone else have this problem and had found a solution?

Thanks,

Guys, i recently decided to try undervolt and overclock in my device. However, before i even started, i realized that this is a procedure that needs time in the form of trial and error. I know that the exact settings rely heavily on the bins of the individual cpu but i created this thread in order to trade some potentially valuable information.

So, do you undervolt/overvolt, underclock/overclock or a combination of both?

What's your result(SOT-smoothness-benchmarks)?

What kernel and rom do you use?

Hello guys... I suddenly faced a problem that my top left corner of my Xperia Z2 un response to my fingers but when i restart my phone it response normally... I'm using stock rom. I reflashed it again it works fine but few hours later it gave me the same problem.. I restored the factory reset without any changing....it works fine then few hours it is unresponsive.. (i eneabled developer option the enabled show screen touches it show and when i touch the unresponsive corner it show point that i thouch here but no phine response)..

Is there any help to response without restart my phone?

I have installed the HTC Homeplug plugin provided by Kaiser and the HTC Audio Manager application as well. For some reason I can not get Homeplug to recognize HTC Audio Manager and it continues to launch Windows Media Player instead. I have so far verified that AudioManager.exe is in the \Windows\ folder, as well as created registry key in HKLM\Software\HTC called SecondaryDsp with AudioManager DWORD value 1. Unfortunantly, after soft reset I am still not able to use the Music tab in the Homeplug without launching WMP.

Figured out all I had to do was install HTC Customizer, and this installed and associated AudioManager w/ HTC Home.

Hey guy

So i need to update firmware currently on 1.32.531.33 on my t mobile htc one m9 s-on. I was gonna use ruu.exe from herehttp://xdaforums.com/tmobile-one-m9/general/please-read-rooting-using-twrp-t3069022. To my understading this will unroot and flash stock rom and i will be able update via OTA. Am I suppose to use the 1.32.531.33exe or 2.7.531.6exe(since on trying to update it)? Do I need to be s-off to use? Will this relock my bootloader? Is there any other changes in adb I need to make. Anything else I should be on the lookout for? Planning on rerooting after update. I couldnt find a guide with this info so any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M9)] kc6wke:
If you are looking to upgrade to the latest 2.11.531.19, you can get the RUU here.

You do not need to S-Off unless you plan on flashing older or intl firmware, Ruu will not relock the bootloader.

keep in mind, running RUU will completely wipe the phone, so Backup.

I would

1. Run latest RUU let it boot and set up.

2. Reboot to bootloader, flash Twrp (fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-hima.img)

3. Reboot to recovery and flash SuperSU here.

Unless you are going to flash roms then you only need to flash the firmware and twrp and rom

You can get the firmware in my thread here

Hope this helps
[T-Mobile HTC One (M9)] Accidental Genius:
Thanks! I took a chance yesterday and ran the 1.32.531.33.exe to play it safe and updated via OTA to 2.7.531.6. But for future reference is it's okay to run RUUs that are above current firmware or do you have to use the one your current firmware matches (for instance running 2.7.531.6.exe when the device firmware is on 1.32.531.33). Also will roms running on older firmware work if device firmware is on 2.11.531.19?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M9)] kc6wke:
With S-on you can only use current of newer firmware.

They might, depends the roms base.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M9)] dohcvtec:
Hey guys,

I just got HTC ONE M9 T-Mobile version. I'm trying to unlock it. Saw a bunch of stuff online and keep trying everything what is out there. Tried to unlock it from htcdev but it says token is too long. I copied it multiple times the way it was described, still nothing happened. Copied it piece by piece, typed it... nothing worked same thing. Questions is this, I can't get it to root, unlock bootloader, s-off or any of that so what's going to happen if I install a RUU which is rooted so at least I'll have a start cause now I can't do ANYTHING. Whatever ideas you have, please let me know.

I tried htcdev, sunshine, kingroot, kingoroot, supersu, root apps.... nothing. The tmobile unlock app, no chance... Thanks
[T-Mobile HTC One (M9)] Accidental Genius:
I'm still an amateur myself but here is my understanding and recommendations.

RUU will update firmware and flash stock rom basically bringing you back to square one. You should be able to use it with a locked bootloader. If you can't do anything with the phone I would suggest to to use RUU dot exe of the latest firmware and update all OTAs. I used a video guide on youtube by "sakitech" when I rooted mine. Just search "root HTC One m9" it should be the first link. Make sure you're copying no more no less than your token ID. Hope this helps
[T-Mobile HTC One (M9)] grim489:
You're way ahead of yourself, RUU is not rooted. It's a completely stock system. Like if you were to buy a brand new phone. It will wipe your phone completely too, nothing on sdcard.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M9)] dohcvtec:
Hey guys,

Thank you very much for responding.

So what would be the best thing for me to do?

Found in codepages of aboot.mpm Don't know if changing this plain text string is enough to make it match, I have a feeling CSC is going to fail which is going to require another hack. Plus half the code pages of aboot are SA1 encrypted. Going to search through mpm packages to make them all match.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] LupineDream:
In system.img.ext4 NB1 is scattered throughout the codepages. I found it several times but not going to change until I know if it will causes a system boot failure.

Build number hex edited to OF4 to bypass CSC check. Original post updated.

Bump. OP updated with link and working results.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] rena14:
I apologize for my ignorance since I don't fully understand the OP, so allow me to ask: does this wotk on USA AT&T GS4?

If it does work, and even if it doesn't, I think you should re-make the OP because I think the majority of people won't be able to understand what you did. Just an advice, I think it would be great!

Good job btw, you are giving us a little bit of hope!
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Matthew M.:
Could this be reworked to downgrade firmware on the GS4 VZW (SCH-I545) ?
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Legitsu:
you can't downgrade bootloaders if the qfuse is blown

period end of discussion

you tamper with the bootloader by hexediting its a one way ticket to brick town on qfuse-blown vzw devices
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] LupineDream:
Unless of course, you have no idea what you're doing.

Does this or my guide look like I know what I'm doing? I'm root, now with disabled knox. So please don't insult me. You can flash modified loki'd aboot no issues. As long as signature matches you're gold. No qfuse. You insult someone who spends hours in a hex editor with this kind of thing, sir. I'm not technically downgrading. I'm tricking it into passing the code the downgraded kernel provides.

Bootloader screen

Verification Check: OK

0x0 KNOX Kernel Lock: Off

0x0 Verification Lock: Off

Warranty bit: 0x1 (Void)

Kernel lock and verification lock where on last night then some more tinkering got them off.

This stuff is to help people. So please mediocre responses like that are not necessary. Makes me not want to share my work sometimes.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] LupineDream:
Thank you. I appreciate it. It works on the new Straight Talk / ATT GS4 with the corrected JB 4.3 and locked kernel. But as stated the flash will blow qfuse. But I'm not sure on that one, because I blew qfuse when I tried to flash TWRP, not during my tinkering.

Current issue is that Wi-Fi freezes in the OF4 firmware because the NB1 kernel does boot the OS, but OF4 is for JB 4.3 and NB1 is for JB 4.2. I have not encountered any FCs thus far. Recovery can't be flashed yet, but modified aboot with matching build number hex hacked into it OF4 does not throw a security check fail. I got nand write start, and pass.

Best I can say is try this hack method for your device. Find a sacrificial lamb you where going to throw away with a cracked screen. Ebay works. As long as the device is fully functional. All of my dev phones are old phones I'm getting rid of. So I never wreck a daily driver and a replacement is so cheap because of a damaged model I might only pay $50-100 for a device with a cracked screen.

Samsung's root certificates are in plain code in system.img.ext4. So sign your builds with the root certs, Sha256 pack, hex hack build number, gold.

The best explanation I can offer:

You are passing downgraded code. But Knox thinks you're just re flashing the current build.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] rena14:
Thank you for taking time the to answer my question, I really appreciate the time and effort you are spending on this.

Since you are still working on this, I'll just wait until you finally get all the things together and fully unlock bootloader. My GS4 is also my daily driver so, following your advice, I better don't attempt to do anything until I can fully understand the whole thing.

Wish you the best of luck on this project, and thanks again for your work, dude!

This sounds very promising. Thank you :)
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] TheLoonyRebel:
This is absolutely huge news to read. I am assuming once recovery is working (ie: TWRP) that perhaps could AOSP ROMs like CM13 be usable on all Verizon S4's once the downgrade is done? I'll be keeping track of the progress on this for sure. :D
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Legitsu:
yes you can spoof 'minor' version numbers(pretty sure somebody already did this a awhile back) but it's never going to boot(unless the op has discovered something new and magical that lets you remove the checksum/qfuse + chain of trust checks it most certainly will never get you back to VRUMDK or to a loki-exploitable base,which is what we need to run real custom roms and kernels

when the op demonstrates a working method to get a loki-able aboot flashed and working then I will be impressed until then status-quo remains because this looks extremely dubious from what we know of qualcomm's qfuses and knoxs bootloader shenanigans ...the status-quo has always been you so much as `touch` the aboot and its a automatic no-boot because its cryptographically signed and and there are hard-wired integrity checks in the cpu

the i545 is a completely different beast then all the other variants

[MENTION=5848265]npjohnson[/MENTION] ?
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] LupineDream:
Said documentation on CPU integrity checks?

In that case, I'll most likely need more hardware than I currently have... Like a JTAG debugger. At least something thar can get me low level enough to reverse engineer and find out what the CPU I'd trying to verify. And match an aboot to it.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] LupineDream:
Right know I have a few tools that are providing useful, IDA decompiler being one of them. But I need the documentation on the instruction sets of the CPU and hardwarespec

Going to do some digging. I'm an it student though not enrolled at Penn State. There's a campus local. I'm going to do some asking around (quite cautiously) to find any equipment needed. I need this functional model to work with. I am getting a new DD next month

Shout out to any Penn state students. This is a project that's worth the bounty. Because if a JTAG won't give me access on POST, yeah, that's a disassembly and a chip mount. And that's not something I have the funds for. At all. Even though the most backwater of websites will take an auto deskffile and 3D print me a mount for pennies on the dollar.

Im realizing where there is a bounty on this unlock.... Again. Got to do some digging. If I become neglectful of this thread I am sorry. Its because quite honestly I'm probing for assistance.

[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Sonichedgehog360:
"They" also said that there would never be any root at all for OF1 and OC1 and look now, there is. If the phone boot loader is upgradeable and it is, that automatically means there is some hack way deep down in the dizzying maze of encrypted bits to modify the boot loader. This, of course, means someone has to do a heck of a lot of bit twiddling and very careful testing to get there, but it is feasible. May the Force be with the guy who accomplishes the near impossible. I will gladly PayPal you a donation upon the release of the fruit of your labors.

well now we have rappers and badly misinformed conspiracy theorists trying to tell us the earth is flat. although at this point it's basically just a meme.

also, those of you angry i545 owners might want to check out an LG G2. I got one not too long ago and have loved it ever since. not necessarily an unlocked bootloader, but we have full recoveries, ROMs, even custom kernels. although hardware reliability is a bit of a mixed bag, make sure you buy from swappa and from someone who's reputable/trustworthy, or nice. i got a phone with major dead spots at first but the guy i bought it from sent me a different G2 that has a good digitizer (but really scratch-prone front glass. hm. make sure you get a case.)

it's either a g2 or an MDK s4 which are getting harder to come across, haven't seen one on swappa in a while.

and if you're stuck with a locked s4, just try your damndest to find something you like. or sell it and get a different phone. or sell something else and get a different phone. i was able to just plop my sim card from my s4 into the g2 no problems (both use MicroSIM, had it been nanoSIM i would have to either cut it or get a new card from verizon, which they'll give you for free)

i typed a lot. sorry. lol
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] TheLoonyRebel:
The Verizon variant for the LG G3 (VS985) also has bumped recovery and kernels like the G2 so you have full AOSP/CM ROMs available. My S4 these days is a backup phone so I'm not too bothered if the bootloader on it ever gets unlocked.

Wow, thanks for trying, just when i thought i had read all of the vrz gs4 hacking forums, here is someone giving it a serious go that knows what they are doing. I wish i would have kept up with programming- sprint intentionally f* people over, i paid close to $600 for a phone (well, two of them) that manipulated its way into updating itself until it was broken (i.e. of1). I'll never buy another samsung phone, and verizon is just as bad for selling the damn thing. They tout it as android so it's customizeable just the way you want, then steal that from you by fooling you into updating. They dress that all up in pretty words and continue doing the same thing, not only do they get away with it, but it's accepted, it's ok to lie and then steal from people, that's exactly what it is.

[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] whowatchlist:
On the samsung unlock creation thread that is on the link you posted, it said this this would specifically not work on the s4. We do have root, but even if we find a way to use it on the s4 the chance of hard brick is not worth it.

Right I'm more or less wondering if a modified version could be done for the S4. At this point my own S4 is gathering dust so I got literally nothing to lose by experimenting with it.
