Hi everyone,

I've had Orange M3100 (Hermes) phone for about a year now and loved it to bits (helped by the fact this site is a god send for customising!). However - my contract is coming to an end and I'm considering upgrading. It seems the only upgrade route I can really see is to a Kaiser. Thats not so much as an upgrade as just the same phone with a few new features. I've already upgraded my M3100 to WM6, I'm not that bothered in GPS that the Kaiser has, and the spec of the Kaiser is almost indentical to the Hermes.

So my question is - is there anything else in the pipeline from HTC that would be worth waiting for. I'd rather wait 3 or 4 months for a newer phone to come out if there was one available.

Anyone any idea....?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] binners:
good question, im in pretty much the same preticament. only thing ive found really is the newer version of the touch, with the faster cpu +wifi etc, or maybe the touch cruise, but neither have hardware keyboard. not sure if i could cope without my keyboard
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chandalf:
You could take a look at http://www.pdadb.net/ for some info on what's coming soon.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] StarMonkee:
The Cruise looks nice, kinda like a keyboardless kaiser :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] thenoble06:
Yeah - my partner has just got a HTC Touch and it looks nice but I couldn't do without the keyb. That counts out the Touch Cruise as well.

Guess I'll hold onto my M3100 and see what turns up next year
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Elwyn M3100:
You need to work out what you want on your new device? I have considered the Polaris as the keyboard on the Kaiser looks, um, fragile...

Good Luck :)

any ideas on how to solve that?

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebonit:
The picture means your device isn't unlocked and not rooted. So you must root it firstly and unlock the boot loader. Then you may flash a custom recovery like either TWRP or CWM. All you need you will find in the forum!
[Note 7 Accessories] THS1989:
Currently using Spigen and I don't like it because it does NOT cover the entire display on the curved sides. It stops short of the display. Edge functionality is useless because my finger keeps going over the rough edge of the screen protector. There is about 2mm of display on each side that isn't covered.

I can't seem to find where to get the genuine samsung one here in canada. Even if it is the same dentable rubbery material, I'd be ok with it so long as it covers the entire amoled display.

I've had my G4 for about 11 months and one day while watching a video froze and got stuck on the LG logo. It's got no warranty and I have tried flashing de kdz using LGUP. Also tried LG Bridge which didn't work. Both times when I flashed the rom the process would reach 100% and then reboot the phone, after that It would go back to being stuck on the logo.

I don't know what else to try, or if it's definitely dead?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jhunt75:
Sounds like you may have bought a phone that was flashed with the wrong rom. Or it was a refurb, Can you get into recovery? If you can then flash a n900p rom or better yet get a tar file of a stock n900p and flash through Odin. Once that is done contact sprint so they can give you the correct imei through the hands free activation.

so i take my phone to a repairer and when i take it back i find that my IMEI number is \00

any one can help me plz?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jhunt75:
If you flashed the stock bootloader and modem for the n900p, through Odin. All you have to do is call or chat online, with the service provider for your phone. Tell them your imei number is corrupted or changed and you would need it corrected. I have sprint and told them this, they asked for the sim card number. Afterwards my phone did a factory reset and went through the hands free activation. This corrected my imei and I had to reroot my phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] belfort_tech:
i live in algeria so i haven't a sprint sim card number

what can i do ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfarm141:
Hey guys, so my Xperia Z's screen broke and the touch is unresponsive, so I took out my old Arc S out of the box and decided to boot it up, apparently I had gotten a new phone because this one had a booting problem.

Things I know:

It's been rooted, bootloader is unlocked, current ROM is Legacy Xperia, can't go into CWM recovery, connecting phone to PC and trying to flash new kernel won't work because flashtool doesn't recognize the device.

In device manager the phone comes up as an unknown device, downloaded the drivers from Sony's site, no luck, get error message saying "this file is not compatible with your version of Windows" or something.

I'm on W10 64bit.

So basically I'm kinda stuck, tried Google and other forums and nothing, I can't seem to get anywhere.

Could you guys help me out?

EDIT: Tried installing Android Studio, launching cmd from /appdata/roaming/android/sdk/platform-tools but when I enter the command line it says "waiting for device".

So I'm thinking this has to do with my PC not detecting my phone in fastboot mode or anyother mode.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00470:
This seems like a corrupted /system partition. First off, try another cable. Your current one might not be working (happened to me, kept reporting that it "did not recognize the device"). If that does not work, let's start with the basic troubleshooting steps. Does your phone boot info fastboot (turn off your phone, disconnect USB cable, hold menu button, reconnect USB while holding)? If it does, run "fastboot erase system" (I'm assuming you have the fastboot drivers installed and fastboot.exe in the working directory), and try booting into the recovery.

If not, let's try flashmode (turn off phone, disconnect USB, hold back button, reconnect while holding). If that works, just start up Flashtool (Download), wait for it to do its thing (sync), download the latest 4.1.B.0.587 ICS .ftf file from here. Once done, exit Flashtool, and go to the "drivers" folder. Install the flashmode drivers. Go back to Flashtool now.

In Flashtool, click the flash icon in the top-right of the program, and on the top you will find the working directory. Click the button on the right to it and select the directory where you downloaded the .ftf file. A new entry will show up in the menu on the left side. Click on it. Flashtool will prepare the file for flashing and instruct you how to connect your phone in flashmode. Be patient, this process may take a while. Once done (Flashtool will tell you), disconnect the phone, take the battery out for 5 seconds and put it back in, and then boot up the phone. The "SONY" logo should show up, followed by the "XPERIA" logo.

Set your phone up, and have fun flashing!

P.S. If you have any problems with your PC not recognizing your device while in USB Debugging (ADB says no devices), this worked for me.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfarm141:
Hey man thank you so much for replying to the thread.

So I feel like a dumbass, multiple times I've read about changing cables, guess what, that's all it took.

So basically I changed the cable and instead of "unrecognized device" I got "S1 fastboot device", after that I installed the adb drivers for the Xperia Arc and voilà, it recognized as an adb device.

Onto platform-tools folder, cmd, flashed the kernel for Cyanogen 10, finally got into recovery and now after a full system wipe I'm flashing CM.

I'll let you know how it turns out.

Thanks a bunch!

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
A few years ago, my bro has set a pattern lock for his old "G-Tide E66", then the phone was left abandoned. Now, I need this phone for some reason.

Info:

1- USB Debugging disabled.

2-Volume Up/Down corrupted.

3-Wifi / Mobile data are turned off.

Details:

- I get to the pattern screen.

-Andriod: Chocolate II

-Drop down menu, not working from the lock screen.

- No shareit to try open Wifi glitch.

Trials:

1-I tried looking for a pinhole to reset the phone ( Couldn't find where it is.)

2- Using Andriod Debug Bridge (ADB):

adb reboot recovery ( I got No command, Fixed it by holding the power button. then stuck in the recovery with corrupted volume down, I thought of triggering the key event from adb)

adb shell input keyevent 25 (25 = VOLUME_DOWN) ( I got this error: - exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) nRet(-1) - Not sure about solution so I thought of another method.)

3-Using FastBoot:

adb reboot bootloader ( the phone reboots in recovery mode)

fastboot devices ( the device shows)

fastboot -w ( Loading for about 9 hours in "erasing 'user data'...." , I got this error: "FAILED TO read user data too many links" , I saw suggestions about rebooting the device, PC connecting to another socket ( In my case I have 5 , 2 of which are SS v3) triple failure.)

Other manual erases like:

fastboot erase cache (fail too).

4- Using Android Multi Tools v1.02b FAISAL JEE from SE-Thiland.

Reset Face/PIN Lock : rm failed for /data/system/password.key, Permission denied

Reset Face/Gesture Lock: rm failed for /data/system/gesture.key, Permission denied

Error opendir'ing /data 'Permission denied'

Done wiping /data

5- Looking for G-Tide reset code , I failed too ( Found None and I got Not Emergency number pop up).

6- Using the wisdom " When you are stuck , start to F***" , I started typing random ****, eventually failed too.

7- Calling 999 and trying to unlock fails.

8- Rooting using superSU

I tried this command not sure if correct:

adb install <PATH of SuperSU.apk>

"com.noshufou.android.su.apk"

I got success and not sure what to do next.

9- Recovery img:

fastboot flash recovery < RECVERY IMG>

I used this

cm-13.0-20160901-NIGHTLY-d851-recovery.img

Result:

sending 'recovery' (11648 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.373s]

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote:

partition 'recovery' not support flash)

finished. total time: 0.392s

10- MirrorGO software.

11- Google Android Manager , apparently no internet so no luck too.

12- <I didn't try this> Installing a ROM

not really sure if that will work or screw everything, any ideas and how to install ?

is it ?

adb install <PATH of ROM.zip>

NOTE: I know the phone is dirt cheap , but I have to unlock it whatever the hell I do.

Thanks [MENTION=5604590]mbc07[/MENTION], it flashed and booted no problem, and now I have a rooted Marshmallow M5 (E5653).

Also Xposed can be installed the easier way now :)

I had a question, I unlocked my BL already on 6.0, and didn't backup my TA... am I able to go back to Lollipop, relock BL, backup, and then upgrade again? Or is my TA lost for good?
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
If you didn't take a backup before unlocking the bootloader the first time, your device keys are gone, forever (doing a backup now is useless too as the device keys were already deleted). And you won't be able to relock the bootloader either, only restoring a TA backup of when the device was locked can relock the bootloader on Xperia devices AFAIK...

[Sony Xperia M5] MarkusPolska:
Help. I'm stuck at the waiting for device message. ADB sees my device only if it's on... After I go into fastboot mode it can't see it. My phone has bootloader unlocked and I have ADB drivers on my computer.
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
This kernel only works on Marshmallow firmware (30.2.A.0.100 / 30.2.B.0.100), you need to downgrade only if you didn't take a TA backup yet (and I suggest doing that with iovySU + Backup TA in this case -- iovySU works only on 30.0.A.1.23/30.0.B.1.23 or 30.1.A.1.33/30.1.B.1.33, so you should downgrade to one of these). After making the TA backup you should go back to Marshmallow firmware, though. I'll make this more clear in the OP...

If you mean using the DRM Fix library in the kernel of another Xperia device, I don't know, but probably. The trick is including libdrmfix.so libraries either in the RAM Disk or directly into the system partition then referencing it in LD_PRELOAD environment variable that is initialized in one of the init*.rc scripts from the RAM Disk ([MENTION=357342]tobias.waldvogel[/MENTION] probably can explain better as the library was made by him). If you mean using only the keys of another device into yours, as I said in the FAQ, probably not and I wouldn't risk trying since messing with the TA partition may hard brick your device.

I can't see your screenshot. And I can assure the kernel for dual SIM at least is working. I didn't test the kernel for single SIM variant but seeing the feedback of single SIM users it's apparently working very well too...

As I said in the FAQ, fastboot drivers (which generally comes with ADB) aren't installed on your computer. While your device is connected in fastboot mode (blue LED on), check the Device Manager on your computer, it'll probably show your phone with a yellow exclamation mark (meaning the drivers aren't installed/weren't detected).
[Sony Xperia M5] MarkusPolska:
Yeah I found it out a few minutes after I posted my reply... Although I still can't install the drivers (I'm on windows 10) even after I disabled driver checks in the booting options. How do I install the fastboot drivers?

EDIT: Never mind I got it. Damn you windows 10 updates. S**t keeps messing up my computer -_-

I should flash TA.ftf when i'm on stock MM and than flash kernel?
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
Despite being a FTF, it's just a .TA file inside, so, it doesn't really matter what firmware you are, the device key will be flashed directly into your TA partition (but in another unit), thus, you need to do this only one time...
[Sony Xperia M5] Le_sage:
Yeah :cool: I've done it!

I was on Firmware 30.1.B.1.55/30.1.A.1.55 rooted with kingroot, i've made the first step to save my TA partition and then unlock the bootloader. Then I flash the phone to Firmware MM 30.2.B.0.100/30.2.A.0.100, then I flash the device key with my previous TA Backup and to finish I flash the modified kernel.

Thanks a lot, Marshmallow work and is rooted! :)

[Sony Xperia M5] Medeon:
Today I completely uninstalled the v15 version of Magisk and flashed the earlier v14 version trough TWRP on my xperia m5. Did the security test in the service menu dialer and indeed no errors anymore and in the configuration menu it stated: bootloader unlock allowed: yes. So indeed the problem is with v15 of Magisk. Earlier versions are still compatible with the DRM fix kernel variant.

For now I'll stay on Magisk v14. In the meanwhile I'll adress the issue with topjohnwu, the developer of Magisk and hope he can do something about it in a newer release. Otherwise I'll switch to SuperSU and hope the SUhide application will make some progress in the meanwhile or simply use the rootcloak module in Xposed to gain access to SafetyNET protected app's.:cool: Anyway thanks for sorting this out for us!
