Lmao

I loved the Nexus 6, only problem was, for me at least, to fragile. But then I shouldn't have accidentally sat on it
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DreamFX:
I'd trade a flawless N6 for your Pixel XL. That was my previous phone. Got it late in the game and always kept in unicorn beattle case. The phone is def in basically new shape and no damage even in the slightest. PM me if you're serious.

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------

If you think the 6 was fragile you should see the 6P. I always made fun of my brothers phone as he had the 6P and it was an extremely brittle phone.

My 6 is a tank and still is.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lostcontinent:
Actually it was the 6p. I was walking when I typed that
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajaasim1980:
nexus 5? lol

nexus 5 had so bad camera and battery life . I replaced it second day for galaxy s5

Google improved camera from 5X/6P but battery was still **** which got fix when they released Pixel XL
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lostcontinent:
I just found a guy selling 6 for 100 off letgo. Yay!!!!

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Poloasis:
I can't complain about the PXL since Google replaced my 6P for free, but I would love to have some Oreo ROM love in it, I'm still hopeful they'll surface soon and have my finger on Paypal for that.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] urphonesux:
Don't be mistaken, the N6P was a beast of a phone. Dual front facing speakers, an almost perfect camera, and enough storage/memory to keep every finger swipe accurate. What was there not to love?

Oh yeah, the unlimited free WiFi hotspot I miss from my .... Samsung Galaxy Nexus (R.I.P). Hmm, now that I think of it, did I lose that because I left Verizon's unlimited data plan and switched to Metropcs's or because I upgraded past Nougat?

Now with the Pixel XL, I've actually only run into one. single. problem. It never ran Marshmallow. And if you care to know why, it's simply because the best mods for the Android version of GTA San Andreas are ONLY stable on Marshmallow.

Truth be told, the Pixel XL is ALOT better than I'd thought it would be and because of that... It's boring to me because I am a flashaholic with nothing to flash.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fiffan86:
I loved my Nexus 5 but it had it issues. I wouldn't ever go back to that small of a phone lol I got 2 Nexus 5s that had Motherboard issues and would stop displaying anything on the screen, even after replacing parts including the screen. I love my Nexus 6 and would go back to that if my pixel XL died. The pixel XL is the first time I am content with having a locked down device.

First I would like to thank [MENTION=4688478]MESA[/MENTION], he did all the work I'm just sharing this custom Mod he made for our v20. It's only been tested on NAFT H918. [MENTION=4688478]MESA[/MENTION] give him ?️ if you use this please.

*all this does it reduce taps for knock code. I think 6 taps is too much. Replace with original apk in system/apps and change permissions to rwrr, reboot and profit.

*I don't know if this helps or not but disable knock code 1st before replacing, just incase.

[Google Chromecast] Chatty:
Hi,

I always found it saddening to notice EZCast5G (the "original") is updated at first and their knock offs are updated way later (as of writing this, there is 16602000 for EZCast5G, 16403000 for MiraScreen5G).

The update tool let's you easily analyze the update process. And if you fake the reply from this URL with (for example) miniweb to always dish out latest EZCast5G firmware then your knock off will become an original.

These are the requests made for a legit EZCast5G and a MiraScreen5G:

[COLOR="Purple"]curl http://www.iezvu.com/upgrade/ota_rx.php -d "{\"version\":1,\"vendor\":\"ezcast5g\",\"mac_address\":\"authorshxj\",\"softap_ssid\":\"000000-00000000\",\"firmware_version\":\"16602000\"}"[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Blue"]curl http://www.iezvu.com/upgrade/ota_rx.php -d "{\"version\":1,\"vendor\":\"am8252_nand_mirascreen\",\"mac_address\":\"authorshxj\",\"softap_ssid\":\"000000-00000000\",\"firmware_version\":\"16403000\"}"[/COLOR]

These are the official replys where you need to always dish out the first one and the update tool will do the rest:

[COLOR="Purple"]{"ota_conf_file":"http://cdn.iezvu.com/upgrade/ezcast5g/ezcast5g-16602000.conf","ota_fw_file":"http://cdn.iezvu.com/upgrade/ezcast5g/ezcast5g-16602000.gz","ota_enforce":true}[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Blue"]{"ota_conf_file":"http://cdn.iezvu.com/upgrade/am8252_nand_mirascreen/am8252_nand_mirascreen-16403000.conf","ota_fw_file":"http://cdn.iezvu.com/upgrade/am8252_nand_mirascreen/am8252_nand_mirascreen-16403000.gz","ota_enforce":true}[/COLOR]

When I opened mine it even read "5G EZCAST V1.4" on it - so I was pretty sure it should work. And it did. So for $17 one year ago I got myself a neat working EZCast5G. The MiraScreen5G gets into bootloader mode by pressing the one and only button right when you plug it into USB - no need to shorten pin 19 and 20 of the AM8252.

Some questions.

How to use this curl command with miniWeb?

Hi,

BUMP :)

No honestly, could you elaborate how this works ? Have 2 MiraScreen5G dongles...

[Google Chromecast] enderffx:
Hi,

with some help from Chatty and another forum i got it done !

First i needed to add a line to my hosts file:

(On windows its found in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc)

127.0.0.1 www.iezvu.com

Then i downloaded miniweb and created a file containing the desired server answer.

Miniwebs web root resides in the "htdocs" folder by default, so i created a folder named "upgrade" and in that folder a file named "ota_rx.php.

I edited that file to contain this text:

{"ota_conf_file":"http://cdn.iezvu.com/upgrade/ezcast5g/ezcast5g-16602000.conf","ota_fw_file":"http://cdn.iezvu.com/upgrade/ezcast5g/ezcast5g-16602000.gz","ota_enforce":true}

I fired up miniweb with the parameter "-p 80" to listen on the stabdard web port.

THEN i started the EZ Updater app, connected my dongle in Flash mode and VOILA it detected the version i wanted it to detect.

So it flashed (took forever with several loops) my MiraScreen5G to a EZCast5G !!!!

After that initial update the dongle detected a newer version and updated okay.

Please note that AFTER the update you cannot get into flash mode by simply pressing the key. I assume that key is not considered existing anymore since the EZCast5G has none as well :)

So for further flash-fun we need to short the Pin like its descived by Chatty !

THANKS Chatty & all,

Ender

[Google Chromecast] SweenWolf:
Hey Guys,

If someone knows, please share the knowledge.

Few Months ago when I was updating the firmware, my Dongle died due to power cut.

after reconnecting my PC couldn't read the version of my dongle. Today I wanted to revive my Dongle But have no to little experience on the Windows Debugging. I know my Dongle is not dead and it has no firmware, I also know that EZCast Repair tool can Flash the Firmware to it, I can download the firmware using the OP, I can also see that The App has options for Manually flashing the Firmware.

But I don't know how and what to do to access the areas shown in the Screenshot.

anyone please help me and point me to right direction.

Thanks in Advance.
[Google Chromecast] dLightas:
Have you found any help? I have updated to EzCast firmware but now my dongle doesn't appear on wifi list and on TV only shows EzCast logo..
[Google Chromecast] SweenWolf:
No I found no help.

All I need is access the flashing area.

I had 2 tools laying around (think i deleted those)

One was older and directly opened the firmware flashing page, but that doesn't have the partition table of My Dongle.

And the other tool which have the partition table, opens on main page (which is automated and does nothing)

If somehow i could access the firmware flashing area on the newer tool then I could revive my dongle.

If your dongle contained older chip of Action Electronics (earlier than 52) then the older tool can flash your dongle.
[Google Chromecast] nostupidthing:
Today there was a firmware upgrade available and after updating it's dead any help

Edit: OK I was able to flash using this tool (https://mirascreen.com/pages/repair-tool-for-chip-8272-products) but still nothing comes up...

I have trided this solution , but no prevail, like device is dead, nothing just blank screen after failed update
[Google Chromecast] renda-l:
This procedure works 100%, completely restores the firmware. If only an incorrect update occurred.
[Google Chromecast] Anton TNT:
I'm not shure maybe I'm doing something wrong, but even windows doesn't recognize device
[Google Chromecast] renda-l:
Yes, of course, if the firmware is faulty, the device is not recognized and does not work. You must follow the Firmware Recovery Procedure. The device will most likely be repaired. Unfortunately, unless you specify a specific type, you can't be specifically advised on how to proceed.
[Google Chromecast] Anton TNT:
It is MIRACAST, I dont know chip number but it is dongle type round shaped eith EZmira app controlled
[Google Chromecast] renda-l:
Set your device to Recovery mode according to the procedure and use the tool for chip 8268/8252 or 8272. If the response is "device connected", it is a given chip set.
[Google Chromecast] Anton TNT:
on which side is pin 7 and 8 ? Chip on my board is square shaped and got pins on all sides. Just to be sure not to fry anything, which side is NAND memory

If your device has a button, first try to enter recovery mode, press the button and connect USB.

[General Questions and Answers] hortstu:
So I've rooted my devices but got lazy recently with updating. I like the freedom and control that comes with rooting but hate the work. I'd like a rootable device, I'm on the sprint network, but I'd like a device that works nicely without rooting.

I'd like something secure. Does rooting reduce or enhance my privacy and security?

I'm not married to android but opposed to apple.

If there's something spectacular I'd consider leaving sprint.

Anything at all will be appreciated links, text, ideas, suggestions, advice.

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] ObliviousEnigma:
Oh! Does that mean you're open to oranges then? :p

On a more serious note: Have you given a "Windows Mobile" phone any thought?

If I'm not mistaken: Rooting a phone is a humongous security exploit in and of itself; You're under-mining the security schemes of the OS itself (as noted in prior XDA posts: "Root" on Linux is as "Admin" is to Windows; You're pretty much destroying the integrity of the security layered onion of the operating system.

Personally: "Security" on a phone doesn't mix too much for me. I am biased, so you can count me out on that one. BUT! You did ask for text, so here you go. ;)

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone stating that they've had any form of an attack on their Android device (remotely OR physically) before. The lock screen is a pain in and of itself. Plus, if someone knew enough about how to 'hack' (I loathe that word) an Android phone: I doubt they'd risk an assault charge over stealing it with the intent of compromising the device (remotely is a much safer route; Especially if you're on a public network (WiFi)).

... Things such as a MITM attack or even if it's a "friend" (your router at home isn't locked down via white list) that came over and poisoning the ARP cache or a myriad of other attacks you could perform (I'm not technically proficient enough to know of any instancabile attacks on any given Android version!

Security shouldn't affect performance too much though (I hear Android's "Look Out" is sufficient). Especially with how much UNF Google likes to throw into their Android hardware these days.

Hope this helps or at least makes you laugh.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] webslasher:
Long story short, when I entered the IMEI and DeviceID information on their site to obtain the unlock.bin file necessary to unlock my bootloader, it says DeviceID mismatch, I contacted both customer support and developer@LGE, they asked to send them the picture of my IMEI label at the back of the phone, which I did and they said it's invalid and they were unable to get the production information of my phone, therefore my unlock.bin file cannot be found.

Now, i'm stuck. I bought US996 model for the main reason to be able to unlock this phone bootloader.

What are my options? can i follow guide to unlock USCellular US996?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Anoneko:
It seems that you bought a non-original device.

Try to use Dirtysanta to unlock.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] webslasher:
Yeah, i'm afraid so. It might be refurbished/replaced motherboard kind of deal. That's a shame but then again I got it for cheap and is fully functional.

So should I use the guide for US996 USCellular?

I'm afraid I might be wandering onto unknown territory and will end up bricking my device :(
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Anoneko:
If you are referring to this thread, yes, you can follow it. Because it is actually written for the US996 Unlocked version.

In fact, even if your device has a replaced motherboard, LG's support will still help you modify the device ID in theirs database to make you unlock, provided this device has the original label.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] webslasher:
AH alright i'll read the thread and see if it'll unlock my phone just fine.

The thing is, I already contacted them regarding my label, and since i think my device has replaced motherboard and the place that replace the motherboard didnt renew the label, the serial number in the label is different than what i can check in setting -> about phone the people at developers@lge.com cannot check my production info or something (at least that's what they said in email)

They said they can't help me and i should contact customer support, I emailed them 2 days ago, no reply yet.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] webslasher:
UPDATE

I sent them another email and talked to their customer service, They said nothing they can do about it.

Looks like i'll need dirtysanta's help. But the guides are for US996 USCellular edition while mine is US996 Unlocked. So far the guides for US996 Unlocked resolves around unlocking bootloader through LG site as it's the sane thing to do.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] neofreek01:
I would think. That you should be able to use the dirty santa method one way or another ...i would start by asking guestions in the dirty santa threads and maybe even the dev or a dev could help ya...i believe ive read elsewhere someone with a unlocked us996 did use dirty santa but i cant seem to find where i saw it...the us996 unlocked and uscellular versions are real close i believe they are even putting each others versions firmware on opposite version with little problems ....before you go to far setup lgup and make sure you can backup what ya got one way or another and can flash a stock kdz to assure if there is any problems you can at least try to get back to stock...ive seen several unbricking threadsaround and ... imho... it should be hard to hard brick your device..... If you got it cheap you have room to make a decision you can use it as is and enjoy or you can try to crack that egg and if you break that egg you arent out an 800 dollar phone....my 2 cents .....if you need any pointers im glad to help im no dev but ive been around for quite some time and i have a unlocked us996 rooted as well.....hope your venture ends well .....also seen dirty elf bootloader unlock and dev metions using it on unlocked versions to get arround losing warranty through lg bootloader unlock.

[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kudzu Kid:
Greetings All,

My first post in a very long time (if ever). I'm NOT a phone hacking guru (as will become evident), but have some other IT-related aptitudes.

I've got a Moto E 8GB 2nd Gen (MPN MOT1526BBB).

I'll try to be as brief and succinct as possible.

I bought the phone used off eBay and it's primarily used for a game I can play over WiFi. The phone has been rooted and has some flavor of TWRP (3.1.0 r1) on it. However it looks as if it was never backed up.

Life was great until a few days ago and the game went stoopid. The OS seemed odd too. Laggy. Certain settings components seemed MIA or not responding properly. I thought maybe it needed a hard reset. I went a little too hard. For full disclosure: I did a wipe / erase (every check box!). In retrospect... "that wasn't wise"! Now the phone will just hang at the Motorola "bootloader unlocked" screen and stays there. There doesn't appear to be any OS present.

My goal is just to get it back where I reload the game from the Playstore and go again. I don't care if it's a stock OS or something fancier.

Someone pointed me to:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/xdafor...nized-textnow-rom-moto-e-surnia-t3418606/amp/

But I don't think that's a complete OS. At least the .ZIP wouldn't install off of the phone, and when I reboot from TWRP, TWRP tells me there's no OS I the phone.

Pretty sure I still have ADB in my PC if that's relevant(?!).

I don't currently have a micro-SD in it but can probably put one in if needed.

What's the easiest way to bring this phone back to life?

I presume I'll need the PC and data cable (since TWRP can't see anything to reload on the phone at the moment)?

Your efforts, mercy and time are GREATLY appreciated! :)

Thanks much!
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -z3r0-:
The easiest way to bring your phone back to life is to flash any ROM (:

Here you can find the ROM of your choice (and for your generation, since this is the 1st gen forum) :

https://xdaforums.com/moto-e-2015

Next what you do after downloading the ROM is to put it in a sd card and the sd card goes inside your phone.

After that, boot your phone into TWRP and select the "Install" option. Navigate to the ZIP file (ROM) and install it.

NOTE: If you chose any custom ROM then you might want to flash "gapps" too. You can read tutorials related to it anywhere after a mere google search.

Wait for 20 minutes approximately.

Bingo! You got your phone back to life.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kudzu Kid:
You Rock & Big Thanks

Thanks z3r0,

You rock my world! :angel: The phone lives thanks to you ! Looking for a nice GAPPS now. I opted for [7.1.2_r33][OFFICIAL][SURNIA]RESURRECTION REMIX v5.8.5 -- looks good so far (only like 3 minutes into it - looking for GAPPS though - gotta get back to the Playstore to reload game, LOL).

Well done & many thanks! :good:
