[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] sparky2029:
There's a few posts around here that should have the MM firmware. And downgrading won't be a problem once you get the files. I've done it a few times already with no problems at all

---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 AM ----------

If you go to max Lee's site high on android I know he has the stock T-Mobile MM firmware there. Not sure how outdated it is though
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] lss1977:
How did you get the scatter file ?

I want to get it from the latest nougat ota update and im also looking in to building twrp for this tablet.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] diplomatic:
The scatter file I handcrafted myself. I read back the GPT layout from the tablet and spent an afternoon calculating the partition addresses and lengths. The general format just follows examples of other scatter files on the web.

The layout should be the same for Nougat. If not, it will complain about the PMT (partition management table which it derives from the GPT) having changed when you try to "download" (should really be called upload) something. You can also get a list of partition addresses with the fastboot oem emmc_show_partitions command in LBA format.

BTW, that was an awesome update with Android N. It solves pretty much all the problems I've had with this tablet. Asus really came through with this one.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] lss1977:
heres a twrp image, i keep getting red error when i flash it grrr.

https://mega.nz/#!3xwkXYpT!PHclNbl2bsxZLMs9YHJc4b16DnYVKPd3z70xYAeLG4M

when tablet reboots its revert's the's the recovery to stock so remember that, by running recovery-from-boot.p on boot up.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] diplomatic:
Hold on, there's still hope... I checked the image file in a hex editor and it doesn't seem to have any cryptographic signature in it. You have to sign it somehow with your own key. I'm not saying that a self-signed image will necessarily pass the security checks, but a lack of a signature will definitely cause the red boot state error.

I know the stock firmware replaces the recovery at every boot, but do you know if the new stock recovery still erases your data as soon as you select Recovery at the boot menu? Or did they add some kind of a warning. I don't want to fall for the automatic factory reset again. ;)
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] diplomatic:
Dude, it's not even the red state that's the problem. There is something wrong with the recovery itself. I think it is trying to boot but it's crashing and restarting. I just wasted a whole lot of time trying to self-sign your image. I did manage to do that. But it turns out you don't even need the signature. (There's 2 sigs, but that's a discussion for another topic.)

The red state is merely a warning. I just tested the stock boot image with the signatures zeroed out. The bootloader is not happy about it, but it continues booting just fine. :-O The Play store even says the device is certified. The recovery should work the same way. Please fix it.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] lss1977:
Nice will look into it and yes it still erases at boot menu.

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

By the way i unpacked the system img i got from sp tool , remove some apps and flashed it bk with no problems so thats handy. You do need to do a factory reset if u remove any apps though.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] diplomatic:
Thanks for the heads up. The system partition has dm-verity enabled. Something weird probably happens when you load a modded system image. It would probably be best to disable verity in the fstab file.

Any progress on the TWRP?
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] lss1977:
nope not yet, also got this recovery which is same soc mt8163 and trying to port with no success yet.

and will update the kernel better if they ever release the nougat version of it.

[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] vel_tins:
Hi, next week, I'll get a device with an identical SoC (acer iconia tab 10 a3-a40)

Fortunately, this device's bootloader can be unlocked.

But atm, I'm somewhat blind, or I overlook something... I have no idea, how to root this device, using a modified boot.img/recovery.img

So please, point me into the right direction.

(I don't need the basics, I'm aware, how to unpack/repack/modifying the .img files) ;)

Thanks in advance.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] diplomatic:
Oh, when I posted that, I had a wrong impression of what's involved in rooting. I just thought you could mount the system partition on your PC, add some binaries, flash it back and enjoy your root access. But after looking at SuperSU's installation script, it quickly became clear that this would not work. The process is a lot more involved now. Android 6+ requires a systemless root with substantial mods to the boot image. It also needs to add a mountable image file to your data partition. And you can't access the data partition outside your device because it's encrypted. Probably the easiest path for you would be to make or find a custom recovery for your device and install a SuperSU zip from there. But ask yourself this: do you really need root if you already have a custom recovery from which you can manipulate any file on /data? I have not rooted my Z380M and don't plan to.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] vel_tins:
Ah ok, so my first impression was correct and I'm not that blind.

The problem is, there is no custom recovery available.

But I'm not sure, if Android 6

needs

"systemless root", but will investigate further.

I was able to root a lollipop device (or was it a Remix system image?) manually a while ago, with copying and "chmodding" the necessary files into /system.

Nut sure, if that works with MM...
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] diplomatic:
Well, it's not too hard to compile your own TWRP. And you sound like the right man for the job. You just need a bare-bones device tree and binary kernel inserted into the minimal Omni/TWRP repo. You can follow my TWRP source for the ZenPad or use other mt8163 or mt67xx recovery sources.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] vel_tins:
I know, I've did it years ago, but for a Snapdragon.

But I remember, that was a lot of hassle and a 20GB download, for just replacing a few files...

But: a "minimal Omni/TWRP repo" sounds good, will check your links.

PS: interesting that a mt67xx source might work.

EDIT: I will probably first try, to port your TWRP to the Acer.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] blakegriplingph:
That most likely explains why those King(o)root utilities are of no use on a Nabi SE my friend and I were trying to poke the internals on. It came with Android 6.0 pre-installed if that's any indication. As crazy as it sounds, my method for editing the firmware was to dump /system, mount it on a PC using osfmount and an EXT4 driver, edit it offline, and chuck it back in to the device. I didn't get any issues with doing such offline system image edits so far, as I tried it on another device to much success.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeffj0092:
Hi, anyone can help me? This is my situation, i tried to flash a .kdz and when i flashing it with the lgflashtool 2014, all process goes fine, the phone reach the 100% but when start to boot, a savage bootloop appeared! When i try to put it in download mode for restore, the download mode reacts weird, it takes tiiiiiimeee to change from download mode to Upgrade Firmware, when the phone goes to upgrade firmware, try to flash a .tot and the process goes fine too! the phone reach 100% ( i select BOARD DL option) and everythings seems to be fine when the process finish, my hated g3 goes in the Mini OS screen and guess what? When shows the pop up "Auto Touch Test" Dont Touch The screen" you can touch the big "OK" and next select Hold Power Button to Normal boot and but the screem seems to be unresponsive!

After losing my mind (and my i think my phone too) i found that tutorial to make a short between two pins, follow the tutorial step by step and i do everything! the boardiag thing, next flash the boot images, aboot,boot,backupgpt yadah yadah, and finally, flash a .tot, my phone initiate and start to load the apps but when the OS seems to start, "System ins't respond" and bootloop again..

Maybe a HW issue? but With the boardiag i've made the AP,EMMC,SDRAM test.

AP = PASS

EMMC = PASS

SDRAM = PASS

so what the hell! happened to my phone? what i can do? :crying: :crying: :crying: the hardware seems to be right (?) so what is the solution?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] landry666:
hi all, I have Huawei G9 ( VNS-AL00) were CWM decided to upgrade the firmware flashed using 3 buttons now weighs on the choice:

(1) Press Power key to continue

(2) Press the Volume Up key upto 3 seconds to enter erecovery to restore your device

(3) Your device will continue to boot 5 seconds later if there is no operation

Tried to restore using erecovery through wifi is downloading from the server the firmware installs but Pat still weighs on the choice.

How can I fix it?

[Galaxy Note 4 General] RishiChhikkara:
Who are you kidding? Wake up, if you really think creating a petition like this is gonna make samsung change their mind on their product cycle, then you seriously need some help, i am being realistic & you should be too.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] notefreak:
And just what is their mind? Geez, you are taking this way to seriously. I take is a opinion poll which can't hurt. I have personally gotten a reply in the past from quite high up in Samsung leadership to one little email. So they see these things. Who cares if they don't change their mind this time. They might see a trend and reconsider it for future lines or wahtever. You don't have to waste your precious time and internet data, I for one think it is worth a try. Others might too.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uchihakurtz:
A more realistic approach is if they can opt to make a Galaxy Note 4S. Same dimension as the Note 4 but with current spec and a decent fingerprint scanner. Sort of like how Apple did with the SE.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mitch1138:
It's not perfect, but I thought I would share what I wrote to get free TV listings. Feedback is welcome, but I can't guarantee I will get a chance to do a revision.

TVQuick v1.0

What it is

I wanted a free way to check TV listings, I wrote this and it works for me

It downloads the HTML text for a 3 hour window of your choosing from Yahoo TV

It parses this code into a text view of the first 54 channels of your provider. My provider has > 700 channels so I limited it to 54.

The program saves the last quide and will display it on the next startup

What it isn't

Tested only on a WM6 PPC 6800 Mogul

Tested only with my provider - not sure what will have with a different provider with fewer channels

Slow - the download is pretty fast, but the HTML parsing is slow, be patient or use the Abort option

To Use

Unzip TVQuick.zip and move "TVQuick.exe" and "HTTP.dll" to a directory of your choice (I use a folder called TVQuick in My Documents)

TVQuick will create files for preferences and the last guide in the same folder as TVQuick

Go to Yahoo TV in your web browser at "http://tv.yahoo.com/", select "TV LISTINGS". You will need to logon and select a provider

Run TVQuick and enter the provider code in preferences (the code is after "provider=" in the URL: http://tv.yahoo.com/listings?starttime=1199635200&showFavorites=1&provider=132024)

Known Deficiencies

When first run, sometime a resource error will appear - just restart and it should be OK

No horizontal scroll bar

Some plain text junk makes it through the parser

Slow

Landscape/display rotation not yet implemented

D-Pad and other subtil user interface desires not yet implemented
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jamesus:
Looks promising. I have a question though...I am unable to get my provider code from Yahoo. The link stays tv.yahoo.com.

Also, I made a cab file for the files if you're interested I could post it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dodba:
really nice prog. does it function with italian tv list?

the url syntax is a bit different

http://it.tv.yahoo.net/programmi-tv/rai-uno/default.asp
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mitch1138:
Thanks for the cab, I may make some changes so I will wait on that.

Try this, first login to Yahoo (It will have your login name in the upper right hand corner of the page). From tv.yahoo.com, select "TV LISTINGS" under "TV HOME", this should get you the listings. On the right hand side of the page, the provider will be listed if you have already set it up, otherwise you must enter it in. If you can use yahoo to display your local TV listings, the provider ID will be in the URL: "http://tv.yahoo.com/listings?starttime=1199840400&showFavorites=1&provider=32105425" - in this case 32105425.

Good Luck.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mitch1138:
Double reply
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mitch1138:
Thanks- it might. Unfortunately I can't read enough italian to get the listing. If you logon to Yahoo and use it to get your local information, it might work. The guide needs to be customized to your location using the normal browser. The URL should end up with some type of time code and location/provider code (the one you have looks generic, like tv.yahoo.com). Once we have this we should be able to make it work. Let me know.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jamesus:
What I had to do since I already had my provider set up was change the date or time of what I was using in order to find the provider number. Works great now. Thanks!

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] ge-n:
So where do I start ... I have a VNS-L31 that was running on C185B130, I flashed meticulus's CM13 after making a full dump and a TWRP backup but since it couldn't handle dual sim properly I decided to roll back to stock, the first issue was that data couldn't be mounted (some encryption problem ... I can't quite remember) but somehow the phone booted successfully to stock, I tried to relock the bootloader so I can flash a clean stock using dload but I got 'FAILED (remote: root type is risk)' ... tried to flash with dload anyway but it didn't work because it was a c432 update.app file, then I flashed C432OemInfo-DUALSIM-P9LITE (using recovery terminal "dd" since I had no root ... maybe I shouldn't have ??) anyway the dload worked fine but after reboot => black screen ! I flashed C432B160 and B161 but still the same, no fastboot only stock recovery and nothing, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache work fine but nothing is changing ! Your help would be much appreciated ! Thanks in advance :(

edit : I managed to re-unlock the bootloader, flashed twrp but still getting the same error while mounting data : 'failed to mount '/data' (mounted without encryption...)

Sometimes s-voice keeps listening after I'm done talking. This seems to be a combination of poor connection or excess background noise (driving in the car with radio off and windows up). Hoping if there is a way to stop it listening, it will have a higher success rate.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v00d007:
I've got this weird battery level increase every time after usage period and when phone is in standby. Long ago I had something similar with a cheap "original" battery from amazon which was surely a product falsification. But the battery I'm using now I purchased directly from Samsung online shop and it worked flawlessly for over half a year. About a year ago I switched to a S5 and didn't use the S4 that much anymore.

What I did so far:

- I calibrated the battery (guide by [MENTION=5841512]lawyer_06[/MENTION])

- did couples 0 to 100% charging

- cleared system cache

- updated rom to latest (TW deodexed/stock kernel)

-> nothing changed

Any Ideas what's going on here?

View attachment 4072058
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
The battery percentage display is an approximation of the battery level, it's not the actual level.

With high usage it may start to approximate it wrongly, but in the standby phase it will start slowly going back to a value closest the the actual level.

Doing the 100-0 discharge is most damaging. If you want to keep this battery for a longer time, then stop.

Also, this is completely normal. Happens on my phone which runs the same battery I bought it from the store with, and the same happened on my previous phone which also used the original battery it was bought it (and it wasn't a Samsung).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Just to add, battery calibration routines don't do anything except waste battery cycles: they only delete batterystats.bin, which is deleted anyway when the battery is fully charged. Stop trying to calibrate the battery.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v00d007:
Partially disagree:

Sometimes a 0 to 100% charging IS necessary to get a "digital reset", means the bat controlling system driver and the bat hardware need to be synchronised from time to time, especially when you sometimes take out the bat or even replace it with another one. And I really don't agree that this behaviour is "normal", I really never ever had s'thing like this with none of my Galaxy S phones (2-5) when using a original bat.

But thanks anyways for your thoughts.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v00d007:
All the same what I wrote above to you. But thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
I've never had to synchronize anything. Is there any actual evidence to what you're saying?

I've taken my battery out many times, and I even had 2 batteries that I alternated between at some point.

And does this problem bother you that much? I already told you it has happened on 2 of my phones, both of which used the factory original battery.

Maybe you have never paid attention to it before.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Then you're a fool. Lithium ion batteries don't need calibration. The circuitry within the battery is designed to not only ensure the battery doesn't overcharge, but also that the battery's cells charge evenly. Claiming the battery needs "synchronization" is a load of horse crap, in that it's justification to treat the battery like an old NiCd.

Whatever. You go ahead and waste your time, and shorten the life of your battery. Perhaps on your next phone you'll get a clue.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v00d007:
Sorry, but your comments are a bit off topic. It's the battery LEVEL INCREASE in standby what's irritating me and what's surely not meant to be like this. You just have to READ what I'm describing here. No need to be rude, I'm neither. [emoji6]
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v00d007:
I've expierienced quite a few times that battery level isn't calculated correctly AFTER doing things like this in row: flashing something with odin that goes wrong somehow, getting bootloop afterwards, no buttons work so taking out the bat for reset, flash something else to fix the boot problem and so on - after such procedure I sometimes had inconsistent battery stat, so that the phone i.e. shut down while showing 10%.

And concerning "original" batteries, I can tell you that the leading german computer magazine (c't) discovered in 2016 that so called "original" Samsung batteries that are sold at the german amazon/am.marketplace are up to 80% (!!) product falsifications from China. This "copies" have reached a such incredible high level of professionality that even for experts it's really hard to identify them as fakes. The only secure way to get a 100% original one is from the Samsung online shop. I had such a fake too and wondered why this bat life was so bad + this wierd battery behaviour I'm talking about here. But this time it's different cause the bat I'm using atm is surely a original one.

https://m.heise.de/newsticker/meldu...ef=https://duckduckgo.com/&wt_t=1489485953395
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
The battery I'm using now is 100% original. I bought the phone brand new back in 2014 from a renown electronics store here in my country.

This self charging phenomenon doesn't happen only when the battery is in the phone. I mentioned that I used to alternate between two batteries, right?

Well, while stock battery was out, and secondary battery was in the phone, the stock battery used to have up to 10% more charge than when I did the switch.

So if I switched it at 50%, when I switched back it had 60%.

Someone once said that it's a sign of a healthy battery. I don't know about this. But you should stop worrying about it, I'm telling you it's normal.

Or you can have it your way and do a couple of more software changes, ROM changes, battery changes and whatever else, until you come to the realization that there's nothing wrong with it.

The only time you should be concerned, in my opinion, is when your phone shuts down prematurely.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v00d007:
I'm not "worried", I just want a reliable status that I ALWAYS had before. I guess there's something broken either in software, blootloader or hardware. The issue even persists with another orig bat a friend gave me yesterday and no matter which rom, TW or cm12, 13 that I tested in the meantime.
