Hi!

This project has been buried some time ago!

It's like roglio already said:

There's no way to reflash these MDOC G3/4 chips with open software.

Anyway if you like to play around with that piece, do it!

Many things have been discussed here.

Using JTAG you may at least do some debugging on universal, e.g. load some code into SDRAM, read out first bytes of bootloader and so on.

Have a look at my universal ready for debugging :D

And here's a little copy/paste from my webpage:

JTAG access on HTC Universal

There are some hardware cracks out there, who traced the connections on the PCB to identify the JTAG pins of the PXA270. Have a look at the XDA-developer's wiki for more details.

I was able to access a bricked Universal using JTAG. I began my experiments with a homebrewed adaptor connected to my PC's LPT port. With this piece of hardware i was able to check out if the processors ID was transferred correctly.

After some more tests i successfully verfied the functionality of the JTAG interface. Next i decided to check out the debugging possibilites. I decided to use Macraigors OCD Demon and the freeware OCD Commander for this purpose.

With OCD Commander you're able to remotely interact with the CPU, show register values, reset target, single step, download executables ...

To set up the SDRAM of the device i created a setup file, setting all necessary registers to it's correct values. It uses OCD Commander syntax and can be found here.

The idea to get a completely bricked device back to life was born:

1. Access the device via jtag DONE

2. Setup system according to the setting used in IPL loader DONE

3. Rewrite IPL (it is yet unknown how to do it!) JTAG???

4. Load SPL as executable binary into RAM using JTAG DONE

5. Start the SPL from RAM ???

6. With SPL running from RAM Re-format the DOC

7. Re-install SPL into DOC

Restart

That's it!

Basically these are the steps to reflash the MDOC chip in theory :rolleyes:

Have fun!

Compiled!

Hi scholbert, it is very nice to read you!

I've exhumated this old task and I did a thing that I was never been able to do: apply some patches to both include and jtag packages (as described here: http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/MyPal620JTAG).

If your htc is hanging around, could you please give a try to the attached package?

It is already compiled: it miss only the "make install".

Thanks in advance.

Tomorrow I'll test it by myself too.

Cheers,

roglio.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] scholbert:
Hey roglio!

Hell yeah, it's nice to see some famliar people from time to time....

All the best :D!

Yes i knew about this project. The patch is about to handle with DOC Millenium, a.k.a. as MDOC 2000. Unfortunately there are some slight differences compared to MDOC G3/4. So it won't work out of the box. I once started to collect some more informations to implement the G3 also....but i gave up at some point :o.

I'm not at home right now and sparetime is limited the next days. Maybe i'll give it a try at the weekend.

But apart from that, i already buried this "old" project, because M-Systems is now Sandisk (you pointed that out already) and these chips are not so common anymore.

I also got 3 working uni's so .....

....but if i once will suffer on boredom :rolleyes:

Best regards,

scholbert

Is this possible?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] androiddiego:
In settings you only have two choices: date & time or signature. Until one of the custom roms starts delving into the second screen, this is it.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] idkwhothatis123:
Yeah that's screen off. I was curious about screen on. But I'm assuming that the answer is no.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Artimis:
Enabling the option under Settings -> Second screen -> "Show time while content is shown" and then hiding the status bar seems to force the clock (actually all status bar icons) into the second screen.

Nova has an option to do this (not root necessary) but it only will stay that way on your home screen and revert back when in an app that doesn't do Fullscreen. I'm not sure there is a way to always force Fullscreen without root + Xposed (which is not yet available for Nougat) for all apps.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] idkwhothatis123:
So I tried this and it definitely removed the status bar and icons up top in the second screen, but no clock. Just black.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Artimis:
Interesting....I wonder why it is behaving different for me. I do have an older version of Nova though. You don't have any other settings to hide the clock in the notification bar enabled do you? And you are sure you enabled the option at the bottom of the second screen settings called "Show time while content is shown"?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] idkwhothatis123:
You know what. I have a 3minit mod installed that hides the default clock. I bet that is what it is.

As you may kniw, Nexus 5X has a laser distance meter to be used by the camera. I recently noticed that it actually emits IR light. So could it be possible to somehow write an app (or modify an existing one) to use that piece of hardware instead of an actual IR blaster.

For anyone wondering how I found that it emits IR light, I used the traditional method of using a camera pointed to the laser, and I noticed that purple (or whatever color) light
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wodensman:
I was given a VZW note 4, and to my surprise, it was on 5.1.1. and already unlocked, as well as dev mode and perm root.

I've flashed dozens of phones just fine, more or less... Somehow, I really messed this one up. I don't have an SDcard reader on my PC... and now my SD card is borked.

The first thing I did was Odin BPA1>CPD1 Full. That went OK, and changed my baseband to CPD1...

Then, I proceeded to temp root with King0root and Flash TWRP. Both went fine. Then I proceeded to unlock the BL again...

My 'Dev' status is gone, wi-fi gone, SD card gone, Build Number is BPA1, Baseband is CPJ2, and still on 5.1.1! TWRP will NOT flash again!

I'm kind of lost on where to start to try it all from scratch again. N910V

Any hard shoves in the right direction would be well appreciated!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastjohnson:
that hybrid firmware is only good for unlocking the BL the wifi will not work because its missing modems and the A boot bootloader. it appears the no A boot files will not allow the wifi to function. what do you mean the sd card is borked ( no longer readable ) sounds to me you need to start over and the sd card needs to be formatted before you reinstall it into your phone or itll act crazy. best bet is to flash the paul pizz 6.0 rom it gives you root and supersu and xposed your basically romming your 5.1.1 and it works great and you can do the other 6.0 or 7.0 roms off this platform. nevermind the wifi don't work on that rom either.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wodensman:
Well, I got everything sorted out quite nicely. I'm on CPJ2 stock 6.0.1. across the board.

Just one thing....

I can't flash TWRP back in, and my dev tag still isn't back... I'm sure if I could properly root I can use one of those excellent guides to get dev status back,

but it's kind of VERY hard, when I can't get TWRP flashed!

My goal is to end up on CM14 or Emo-OS
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wodensman:
too bad that doesn't support my N910V

EDIT: Nevermind! found it on the website! THANKS!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wodensman:
Well, my phone appears to be completely on CPJ2 now. Got my SDcard working again too. Just STILL can't get TWRP installed.

eMMC gives me the correct CID. Kingoroot no longer gets me any kind of temp root, so ADB steps aren't happening.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quinciebee:
You're currently on CPJ2, but you need to be on BPA1 before you can start the rooting process and flash TWRP.

I was a newb when backup my stock recovery when I flashed it with TWRP but now I need help finding one for my device. I keep getting the software update notifications every day but because I don't have the stock recovery anymore, the update fails. I also recently flashed it with CW and now I can't flash it to TWRP either. Bootloader was unlocked and phone is rooted. Phone also now displays these messages when I go into recovery:

E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg (code-1)
E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg_yes (code-1)
E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg_no (code-1)

Along with 4 other lines such as "handle_cota_install: No CW files. Skip cw installation "

Does anyone know what the problem is and where I can download the recovery for my phone? Thanks.

No one will port Lineage OS for Mi 5 because there is no point doing so. I was officially maintaining it on CM and will continue to do so, now on Lineage. Once the official builds are out, I will provide more info. You could have posted this question in the official CM thread, because that will still be the official support thread for Lineage.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] jamdog30:
Hi all

Just to say that the new Lenovo Tab 3 pro is out it has the 4 gb ram and the faster cpu.

http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/comput...3-pro-10-tablet-64-gb-black-10155326-pdt.html
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mike240se:
That must just be a typo on that site no? Why would they do that? If anything they would call it Lenovo Yoga Tab 4 Pro or something. I just got my Tab 3 Pro and love it but wish it had more ram, I was hoping they might announce a v4 at CES this week w/ more ram and faster cpu and the only other thing I would love is AMOLED screen.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mike240se:
Wow there is a 4gb ram one, so weird they just kept the name and everything. i just ordered it, this tablet is amazing only issue is the ram, if this 4gb model fixes the ram issues then it will be amazing. i wish they added amoled screen for the refresh but i guess we cant get everything.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] kayakyakr:
This was a pretty quiet refresh. Bumped processor and RAM but didn't change anything else about it. They also released the Tab 3 Plus, which bumped the processor (8 core) and screen and moved to 2 gigs of ram. Seems like they are still selling the original Tab 3 as a lower-budget version.

Was sorta hoping to see a windows version of the Pro, but there's no sign of a release.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mike240se:
I just got the 4gb tab 3 pro today, I am going to try it out and will report back if the 4gb of ram solves the major issues plaguing the tablet due to the 2gb of ram (which wasnt used well to make matters worse). There is a minor bump in the cpu but its so minor I doubt that will be noticeable.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Klvn88:
Would love to see a Tab 3 Plus review, doesn't appear to be much info online... Also limited info available in terms of a release in Canada. Might have to bite the bullet and order off Amazon USA. Thoughts on the Tab 3 Plus anyone? Seem affordable and decent enough specs for a media/games tablet.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mike240se:
Is the plus the one with the 4gb of ram?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Klvn88:
The new Pro one mentioned above is the one with 4gb ram and has the projector. Appears Plus only has 3 gb of ram and is without the projector. Not very good with the technical spec stuff, so any tips/advice would be great! :laugh:

Plus:

Yoga Tab 3 - 10.1" Android Tablet Computer (Qualcomm Snapdragon 652, 3GB RAM, 32GB SSD, FHD) ZA1N0007US

Pro:

[Thinkpad Tablet General] kayakyakr:
Was going to buy one, but some actual reviews started coming out. The lenovo software lets the system down. It's a fairly standard processor/graphics (not world beating, not a slouch) but there seems to be something going on with audio sync and with an intermittent screen flicker that's giving me pause.

The whole thing should prove to be rootable/flashable, but this tablet's probably too niche to attract much of an xda community (and I'm a novice in that regards)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] harrybarracuda:
Just for info, my Tab 3 (YT3-X50F) upgraded to Android 6.0.1 today!

Never expected that. The download is 992Gb.

Only had time to do the upgrade, so I can't tell you if it's improved performance or not.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Taosaur:
I'm hovering over the "buy" button on this one and would love to hear any impressions. No reviews for the current model on Amazon.

ETA: Actually, there are a couple paid reviews by clueless Amazon grannies, but not much helpful.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Klvn88:
I'm a novice in that regards too. Thanks for your thoughts/findings, I saw the same thing regarding the audio sync issue in the limited reviews that I have seen. If it wasn't of that audio sync issue, I would probably have pulled the trigger already since it seems to be what I am looking for in terms of a media device, but even a slight audio sync issue would annoy the hell out of me!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mike240se:
The Plus or the Pro? I just got the new 4gb RAM pro and its basically exactly the same as the 2gb ram pro that I am going to return. The differences are obviously the RAM and android 6.0 coming loaded on it. The RAM for me made a HUGE difference. The issue I had with my 2gb pro was that I couldnt play a vidoe in the background (yt red) and then browse websites. It would always close the video, I guess because it ram out of ram. Even worse is it would kill my screen dimming app in the background randomly when it needed ram and that has stopped as well. The 4gb of ram def makes a huge difference.

What sucks is I got the 2gb Pro for $350, and paid full price for the 4gb pro, so I am basically paying $150 more for 2gb of ram. Very annoying.

I am still considering sending both back though. I really need an AMOLED display, the lcd display is too bright for viewing in absolute darkness (99% of my usage) and the screen dimming apps work horrible on LCD screens it seems, they just reduce contrast but the screen is still giving off a lot of light. On the other hand the AMOLED displays just dim the pixels and it works so much better in dark rooms using dimming apps. The only thing keeping me from sending both back is the amazing jbl speakers and the atmos app, the sound on these tablets is mind blowing.

If I could just find a tablet with front facing high quality speakers and amoled screen that would be my perfect tablet, but one doesnt exist :(

---------- Post added at 06:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 AM ----------

Looking at the 3gb of ram non-pro model, the main drawback I see is the really low resolution of 1280x800 for me that is too low, I dont like getting a tablet lower than 1080p. EDIT: it seems amazon is wrong, it has a 2560x1600p display. Now I am thinking of sending back both my pro models (2gb and 4gb models) and getting this and saving $200. I dont need the projector or the extra storage and the 3gb of ram should be enough. The main thing holding me back is the bad review mentioned above. I assume this has the exact same display as the pro.

I wonder how the Snap dragon 652 compares to the Atom SoC in the Pro? Anyone any ideas? I assume it has quickcharge 2.0 since the 652 supports it, the pro has quickcharge as well but its some other standard is my guess. (12v a 2amps on my pro)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Taosaur:
Definitely the 4GB Pro. The comparison with the old model is very helpful, thanks! My main concerns are the reports of sluggishness and screen flicker on the older model (attributed on XDA to forced /data encryption), and also whether the Lenovo skinning and/or bloatware are excessive. I'd rather not count on XDA support for such a niche and somewhat pricey model, and from what I've read the methods for the old Pro brick this one. But it sounds like the upgraded RAM and CPU help. Do you find app launching and transitions smooth overall, and the display stable? Any annoyances with proprietary or otherwise preloaded apps?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mike240se:
I have noticed screen flicker but I didnt notice it on the original 2gb pro either. Maybe that is only on the snapdragon versions? It's not really sluggish but its not extremely fast when web browsing for example, but its not sluggish. I havent rooted or removed encryption because one guy tried to unencrypt and load recovery using the method for the 2gb version and I think he bricked it, he said he was RMA'ing it back to Lenovo (hope he doesnt have issues, I would think he voided his warranty :( )

The RAM def helps I can say that for sure, as I mention I couldnt run anything in the background without it being auto killed, now no such problem so far. I think the 6.0 is pretty good, it feels better than the 5.1 on the 2gb version, seems they fine tuned things a bit. As far as bloat I find it to be fairly unbloated, but I didnt think the 5.1 2gb versionw as too bloated either. It had a horrible implementation of the OS it seemed (due to the ram issue, 2gb is not a lot but it shouldnt have been as bad as it was with 2gb). They must have cleaned that up because I notice it rarely goes over 1.6-1.8gb of ram used. I will pay attention to the display more, I havent used it much yet, but will report back after some more time with it while specifically keeping an eye on the display.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Klvn88:
Was talking to a Lenovo Sales Rep on their online chat system about the audio sync issue and she was saying they have "received information that all issues have been fixed." I asked her to be specific about the audio sync issue and she confirmed they were told the audio sync issue has been fixed. Any idea if this is true or was she just saying what she thought I wanted to hear?

Really like the Tab 3 Plus, sooo close to pulling the trigger, esp now that Lenovo Canada has it available for purchase... with a 3-4 week estimated shipping time though. Lame!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jamdog30:
I had a go of the plus this afternoon, but in the UK they are selling the Pro 64gb version for £350 quid and the plus version is £250. Anyway I thought i would get the Pro version again after all as it seems to be the best of the bunch.

I was just about to ask this. I've had my tab for like 6 months now and I can't believe XDA doesn't have a forum for this tablet. This tab is perfect for modding. Not much OTA updates from Lenovo, fast hardware, etc, etc.
