replacement SSDs for HTC Shift

HTC Shift needs 1,8" PATA SSD with ZIF connector. Toshiba claims their drives sometimes LIF, which is not 100% correct, because LIF is pretty similar, but different than ZIF. Only real LIF SSD (is SATA!) is made by Runcore and only fits in Mac Book Air second Generation.

So far you have some possibilities to upgrade your HTC Shift!

To clear it up: There are SSDs with native IDE EastWho 720 Controller out, which are pretty the best you can get for your device. There are also some SSDs who are using Indilinx Barefoot Controller in combination with IDE2SATA bridge. These devices are slower in overall ranking, but they provide ca. 6 MB/s random-writes, while EastWho based SSDs just provide around 2,5 MB/s. Anyway EastWho is better in ALL other areas. In case your primarily use is to work with your machine instead of installing different OS every day, EastWho solution is faster and has less compatibility issues.

PhotoFast GMonster 1.8" V4 ZIF

- EastWho 720 Flash Controller with Samsung Flash, before 50 nm, now 30 nm flash (10000 write cycles)

PhotoFast GMnonster 1.8" V4S ZIF with SLC Chips

- EastWho 720 Flash Controller with Samsung Flash (100.000 write cycles)

PhotoFast GMnonster 1.8" V3 ZIF

- Indilinx barefoot Controller (and IDE2SATA bridge) with Samsung Flash (10000 write cycler), sometimes troublesome with Windows 7

Renice K3E Series 1.8" PATA ZIF 40-Pin

- EastWHo 720 Flash Controller with Intel/Micron Flash (10000 write cycles)

Renice K3 Series 1.8" PATA ZIF 40-Pin

- Indilinx Barefoot Flash Controller with Intel/Micron Flash (10000 write cycles), makes sometimes trouble with windows 7.

Runcore Pro IV, 1.8", ZIF

- Indilinx Barefoot Flash Controller with Intel/Micron Flash (10000 write cycles),Sometimes trouble with WIndows 7.

Mach Xtreme Technology MX-NANO ZIF

- EastWho 720 Flash Controller with Intel/Micron Flash 24 nm (3000 write cycles, at least the sample we have tested here)

There are some cheap MLC solutions on Ebay without on-board cache, if you wanan run an OS on them. If you wanna use the SSD for example in old Ipod, the performance on non-cache SSDs or CF cards in adapters is fine, but not for OS

PhotoFast is most expensive in the market

MX-Technologies is the cheapest usually, but using flash with the shortest write-lifetime. Anyway it should be enough for most users (and remember: if you double the storage size you will increase write lifetime to 200%).

Renice has longest warranty.

All SSDs have the same performance more or less (maybe +- 10% on certain areas, which you won´t feel in real life).

We have not tested Supertalent so far, but guess they are also fine. No idea which controller is used, maybe EastWho also (it is not listed in their datasheed, but they are not making own controllers and there are no other fast IDE based controllers out in that speed range).

Attaches two Benchmarks of East Who Based SSD:

PhotoFast V4 MLC and V4S with SLC Chips. SLC is faster of course, but makes only sense if you wanna run a database server on your machine and you need 10 times longer lifetime.

Hey guys! I am thinking of updating the disk on my friends shift.

His drive is dead so i'm thinking to use a 5mm disk, which one do you suggest?

I believe 5mm disks are around 80-100GB.

Any specific tested models?

I'm not going to use the hidden partition, only install the OS on the full partition.

Hi, I've an s6 edge with ultimate nougat rom s8+, but no matter what rom I've, because in each rom, even stock, fingerprint doesn't work from 6/ 7 mouth. when I noticed that I had no fingerprint setted, so I don't know which is the cause. the bad thing is that I can't set any kind of lockscreen because when I try to set a new one, setting app crash. Is possible that a bad fingerprint does all these things? I tried the secret test menu (*#0*#) and according this menu the fingerprint works and pass all the test stages. If i try to make the test with the finger on the sensor, the test fails, so I now that put the finger on the sensor does make something. If it can help, I changed the battery with a genuine one, and also the usb/jack board (genuine too). Please help me!

thank you
[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] icyyicee:
Hey all,

Thanks for reading my thread!

I am on build VKY-L09C654B203. First I unlocked the bootloader successfully, then I installed TWRP 3.1.0.0 with no trouble.

But while I was trying to root my device, I must have flashed a faulty supersu.zip. My device went stuck on "your device is booting now" screen.

At this moment I still have access to:

eRecovery (useless)

TWRP (entered with UP_VOL + POWER, hold until you see the TWRP screen, DO NOT attach any cable to your phone)

Fastboot / Bootloader / Emergency mode (entered by first turning off your phone, then hold DOWN_VOL while connecting your phone to your computer)

Realizing that I might have a corrupted boot sequence, I tried and flashed several boot.img, but they didn't help.

I tried flashing some other versions of the supersu.zip, even tried a UPDATE-unSU-signed.zip to revert back the damages, but none worked.

So after panicking a lot, I calmed down and realized that the problem is still the boot.img file.

I used fastboot commands:

fastboot oem get-build-number
fastboot oem get-product-number

to get my precise build number, then googled a russian site that listed my build in full zip.

The site is http://pro-teammt.ru/ and I downloaded the "FullOTA-MF" file.

I then used this wonderful tool called Huawei Update Extractor (worstenbrood) 0.9.9.5 to extract the UPDATE.APP (you'll have to unzip the zip file first), and found the BOOT.img in it.

After extracting the BOOT.img, I booted my phone to bootloader mode and used the command:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

After receiving a success message, I restarted my phone and it was able to go right pass the loading screen!

Anyway, I started this thread while losing all hopes in humanity, but ended up solving my problem before pressing publish, so I thought I might as well turn this into a guide. I couldn't have done it without many people's help, but sadly I didn't keep record of the authors where I got my helps with, so apologies to them.

I'm attaching the tools I used so you can download them.

Best Regards!

Hello,

My OnePlus 3 just stopped working today, wihtout any reason, apparently.

I am able to boot on the OnePlus logo, I see the red dots turning indicating that the system is booting, but after few seconds the dots stop moving and the phone instantly turns off (the screen become black and nothing appears).

I can :

- Boot on the recovery : I wiped everything, flashed a stock ROM from OnePlus using the adb sideload with success, but the booting problem remains.

- Boot in fastboot mode : but the phone is locked and I cannot flash anything here.

Other observations :

- My battery is fully charged

- Storage is encrypted

Can anyone help me ? I don't have the financial ressources to buy another phone, so any help will be greatly appreciated... :)

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
Hey Folks, while working on My next Snappatch Version was i able to fix the biggest Problems on the XZ Premium which should also affect other Xperias. Here are the main Points:

-Camera Noise (Solved)

-Display Quality (Solved)

-Audio Output Quality (Solved)

-Microphone Handling (Solved)

In conlcusion:

I added and enabled some Camera Services and Functions to enhance the Quality and to allow full Google Camera Mod Support.

I added and enabled Display Services and Functions to deliver a more Natural Output besides HDR Support and Adaptive Backlight capabilities.

I added and enabled Audio Services, Functions and Libraries from Qualcomm and SONY Oreo Firmwares to enhance the Output Quality over all Sources like Videos, Music and the main System.

Last but not least better Microphone Handling. Adapted and ehanced from many Android Devices and Qualcomm Documentations to deliver better Recognition and Input Quality over both Mics on top and bottom of the Device.

Nothing against switching from Stock to AOSP anymore. The benefits of Snappatched AOSP over Stock are huge. Latest SDK, full Substratum Support, better Audio and Visual Quality (In and Output), better Performance (Shadowgun Ledgends on Ultra - 60FPS, No heat, no glitches), more freedom of UI Layouts, better App Support, faster Storage Speeds, newer Kernel, Smoother UI, Adaptive Icon Support, Pixel Features and so on. The Snappatch for the XZP is coming soon and i Hope i can raise the Interest on AOSP on Xperias with this!

Forget Stock! This is the next Level! Love My XZP now...

Stay tuned and try it by Yourself!

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
I would really like to get some advanced Feedback and compares between Stock and AOSP. RAW alone should be worth the Bootloader unlock and going away from Stock. SONY does a really great Job on the Sources for our AOSP Bases and everything runs really well compared to other Devices like from LG. One Thing that really bothers Me is the buggy TWRP on our XZP. CPU Temp isn't showing right, MTP fails 90% of the Time and AROMA has a Displaying Bug. Since the Snappatch is coming with My own crafted AROMA Installer will we face a invisible Utility, but i will make a Video showing how to easily flash the Patch anyways on our Devices (Side by Side with working AROMA on the Axon 7).

Hope [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] can solve the TWRP Issues one Day, and that more Users will pay attention to him and his Work on our Forums!

Strange. I Googled a lot about this and this was always a Issues with some TWRP Recoveries.

How was RAW support achieved?

From what I've seen, this wasn't possible before because there were no drivers that enabled that with the used camera chip.

And there's still one thing missing; SloMo support. Is there a chance this can be added as well?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
I had trouble with the Camera Configs (Camera not starting anymore), but solved it and added more of them. Last remaining Problem are Issues with Google Service Audio (Music and Video not playing due to failing Audio Configs). Think i need more Time to solve this, but the release is close...

It's all there on AOSP. Camera2 API is supported but not configured right (There are X Lines for the Cameras), i've seen the same on the Z1 and Z3 (https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/discussion-development-custom-rom-t3479108/page11) some Years back, and i was sure it's all depending on this right now. Other Xperias may have the same Camera Problems since AOSP is coming with just the barely minimum of Build Properties and Configs. That's also the Case on the most other Devices and AOSP based ROM and one of the Reasons for doing My Patch. Some missing Things are causing Issues (Like Microphone Problems), and others do just bring a lack of Features (Like with the Camera and Display, Audio, etc.).

It's pretty Time intense to test all this Entries and Values but it's really worth the Time. And if i would do a OS would i start with that Things before changing the Kernel and adding ROM Features, but i can only talk for Me. Not sure how much Time ROM Devs put into building of AOSP for the own Devices, but i work for sure at least 40 Hours on One Major Release of My Patch (Including copying, flashing, testing and editing).

AROMA was also really Time Intense but i removed the Installer over Night and edited the Updater Script to flash the recommended Options without it. Here is a little List of what gets flashed:

-Original Oreo Pixel Bootanimation

-Original Oreo Pixel Ringtones, Alarms, Notifications

-HTC U 11 UI Sounds, Ringtones, Alarms, Notifications

-Prop Patch (Including many changes and Configs)

-Snappatch Core System (Including the mainly needed Content)

-Snappatch Audio System (Based on XZ Premium Oreo Stock)

-Snappatch Emojis (EmojiOne replacement Font)

-Magisk Stable V16

-Busybox with many Applets, SElinux & Magisk Support

-GApps (Barely minimum Set)

And that's it for now. It includes all of the Features of the Patch, less optional but i can ensure a great Experience with this Setup! Like said am i now about to fix the last Bugs which are Audio Config related and after that will come the Thread with the new Release. Hope You will like it Folks!

<resources>

<string name="mystring">&test1;</string>

</resources>

However, unfortunately, I keep getting error,

Error: The entity "test1" was referenced, but not declared.

It looks like externally defined entities cannot be referenced in the resource file...

Am I missing something? is there any thing I need to tweak in order to make this work?

P.s : well, if I don't use external parameter entity like this in the same resource file..then..

<!DOCTYPE resources [

<!ENTITY test1 "t1">

<!ENTITY test2 "t2">

Yes this works fine though.

First of all, I'm new on the forums, nice to meet you guys! I'm Rémon, proud owner of a 2015 Peugeot 108.

The thing is, the pioneer head unit in my car is based on Linux (ofc.) But the trashy Mirror Link function does not work with my Android phone (Oneplus 5T on the latest LineageOS 15.1). I was wondering if there is a developer who can intergrate Android Auto in to this system so I can connect (And many others) Can use Android Auto on this head unit instead of the crappy Mirror Link function.

I contacted Peugeot about this (@peugeotNL) on Twitter. But they can't give me any information about any update information for these systems.

Hey guys! I have a Pixel 2 that basically bricked this morning. When booting only the bootloader comes up. The device can't boot into the OS or even the recovery.

Now I understand the Pixel 2's are dual partition and my "Boot-slot" is "b" not "a". I don't remember changing it though, that is if the factory default is "a". I'm not sure if everything is on "a" and that's why this is happening but I can't switch the boot slot over to "a" through fastboot as "slot change is not allowed in lock state". I did not enable USB Debugging so I can't change Lock State, or at least not that I know of.

Does anyone know how to get this phone back up and running?
