[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  Questions & Answers] Wish39:
Hey guys, so recently I've been trying to extract the stock Android 7.1.1 firmware from my AT&T Tab E so that I can package it into a flashable .tar.md5 file for Odin.

So far this is what I have:

First I typed this into the Terminal Emulator app on the tablet:

ls -al /dev/block/platform/13540000.dwmmc0/by-name

And it spit this out:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2018-06-02 00:30 BOOT -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p10
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2018-06-02 00:30 BOTA0 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2018-06-02 00:30 BOTA1 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2018-06-02 00:30 CACHE -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p21
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2018-06-02 00:30 CARRIER -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2018-06-02 00:30 EFS -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2018-06-02 00:30 OTA -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2018-06-02 00:30 PARAM -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p9
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2018-06-02 00:30 PERSDATA -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p18
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2018-06-02 00:30 PERSISTENT -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p17
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2018-06-02 00:30 RADIO -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p14
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2018-06-02 00:30 RECOVERY -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p11
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2018-06-02 00:30 RESERVED2 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p19
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2018-06-02 00:30 SYSTEM -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p20
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2018-06-02 00:30 TDATA -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p16
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2018-06-02 00:30 TOMBSTONES -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p15
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2018-06-02 00:30 USERDATA -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p22
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2018-06-02 00:30 m9kefs1 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2018-06-02 00:30 m9kefs2 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2018-06-02 00:30 m9kefs3 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p7

This information lets us know which partition file in /dev/block is for the boot, system, recovery etc.

But when I try using this command to dump any of the files into my internal SD card:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0pXX of=/sdcard/XXXXXXXX.img bs=4096

or external SD card:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0pXX of=/storage/C35A-1CE6/XXXXXXXX.img bs=4096

It keeps on spitting out "Permission denied" and it doesn't do anything.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it has something to do with me not having root access on my Tab E :/

Anyways, if somebody can help me with this it would be awesome!

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] djdelarosa25:
Have you tried clearing the cache partition via recovery mode?

Yes done that but it doesn't help it happens mainly on Google apps and when I look in to it on Google it comment on the security patch may be a problem....
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Manish355:
If you're running a custom rom, try flashing Oreo flash files and lock the bootloader again and then see if the problem exist. I am running on April patch Oreo stock too but no problems with Google apps at all.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] stinka318:
All stock with locked bootloader......it has just occurred to me that it only happens when it is really cold at night.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Manish355:
Wow, then there maybe some issues with your device hardware. I don't know much but you can try to flash the files again or try flashing different custom roms and see if the problem exist.

Try reflashing Lollipop stock ROM using SP Flash Tools with proper drivers.

Install VCOM drivers for MTK.

If you need help, comment.
[Blu Vivo 5] lokiyito:
Hi Letrix, thank you for the reply. I've seen some posts about re-flashing, but the idea is to keep the information on the phone, specifically, the photos. Is there any alternative to re-flashing without loosing the information?
[Blu Vivo 5] Letrix:
Make a backup with TWRP.

[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] thippu46:
Inorder to flash a stock rom first you need to flash Stock recovery (you can get that from firmware zip).

Then go to that stock recovery and do a master reset

Then wipe customization<---- important one

Then start from the beginning step of the firmware installation procedure to install stock firmware, that will be specified in that particular thread's OP
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Ancit:
actually I have flashed stock rom and currently my device is running on noghout but the actual problem is that imei is showing 0 and there is no network support.

Now in order to get imei back i need to flash oreo based ASOP rom. for that I need to flash twrp recovery.

can you please help?

hello i would just understand if it is all correct about the key differences

- sd652 vs sd821

-3000mah vs 4000

- MONO speaker vs stereo speaker

what other differences? is it really only stereo the speaker of the le 2 ? at first look also the exterior looks the same, so why 1000mah of difference about the battery?

and what abour the cameras? are they the same?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] coolsva:
Folks,

I have created a small photo viewing application that I wanted to publish to the world. Key features are

- Native C code. No dependencies on .NET or any other library

- Tiny (just 25Kb)

- Full screen photos with gestures and hot-spots

- Slide-show mode

- Nice transitions (you can see them all in the slide show mode)

I have tested this on my GPS (CE 4.2) and PDA (Hermes) and it works quite well.

Gestures:

- Slide left to go to next photo in list (You can also use the wheel down for this)

- Slide right to go to previous photo list (You can also use the wheel up for this)

- Slide up to go to last photo in list

- Slide down to go to first photo in list

Hot Spots

- Top left to open a specific folder. Folder navigation is done by sliding up and down and select the <This Folder> to select

- Bottom left to open a specific photo. Again, you can slide up or down or go to a specific folder

- Bottom Right to start/stop slide show mode. Slideshow is 3 seconds. You can change the config file to specify different interval

- Top right to exit

- Right edge of screen to go to next photo in list

- Left edge of screen to go to previous photo list (You can also use the wheel up for this)

- Bottom edge of screen to go to last photo in list

- Top edge of screen to go to first photo in list

Configuration

CEPhotoViewer saves its configuration in CEPhotoViewer.cfg in the same folder as the exe. This file contains the last open folder and the slide show timeout

Startup

- On startup CEPhotoViewer looks for any JPG/BMP/GIF images in the program's folder. Else it prompts you to select a folder. Once selected the config file is created and subsequent runs, it will automatically pickup that folder

Bugs

- CEPhotoViewer uses native microsoft DLL to load a image. Depending on the speed of your CPU, this loading might be slow. Photos resized to the correct size (under 640x480) load pretty quickly. Large (2MP+) photos take a couple of seconds to load. Perhaps someday I will include native JPG loading codeDone

- CEPhotoViewer is built for ARM CPUs only. I can build for other CPUs but dont have a device handy

Looking forward to your comments. Im also working on finishing a MP3 player and a launcher (more appropriate for GPS devices)

Version history

- v0.67 (3/25/2008)

First public release​

- v0.68 (3/26/2008)

Integrated JPEG processing. Much faster in loading big images (although the size tripled from 20Kb to 60Kb)​

Added edge hot-spots to navigate in addition to slide gestures​
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
Feature Request

What do you think of adding in touch Pan, Tilt, Zoom, & Rotate? Also, it would be cool if it auto rotated based on the original pictures orientation.

Thanks,

Curious G
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jadephyre:
i'll give this a shot when i get home :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] coolsva:
Forgot to mention, pictures are auto-rotated if they can fit better in the screen. Also auto-rotates if you change the display (like when I pull out the keyboard)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Trekvogel:
Nice but it wouldn't load my actual (2mp) photos. Sliding is a bit slow but very smooth. Wouldn't quit and at some point all corners stopped working.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] coolsva:
Loading large images is time consuming, sorry, thats the way microsoft has implemented JPG processing. The corners are not 'not responding', the program is still trying to load the image.

Im trying to compile ijl jpg library that can loaded scaled images, that way I only decompress the size I want
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] coolsva:
3/26 - Version updated

Guess I'm in the minority who resizes images to fit in PDA screen. Due to popular demand, I have integrated the IJG jpeg library to considerably speed up loading of large images (largely due to internal image scaling)

Also added edge hotspots to navigate images, rather than slides which are bit cumbersome
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nothin:
my personal opinion(i havent seen program YET):

any viewer, that cannot show gif/animgif/png/tga/bmp files is pointless.

it doesn't matter how "touch"-ed it will be.

so - i am gonna update opinion after tests..

:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] coolsva:
It does show gif and bmp. Adding png is trivial (libpng can be compiled easily in CE, both PNG and TIF take about 100Kb each). My intent is to what cover 80% of the people would want.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deedee:
Just tried it on my Trinity and, while the transition speed is nothing to write home about, the software works. Not sure if i prefer this or S2V, but it has to be said this is a nice application.

Edit

Could do with more space at the top when navigating folders, the directory path disappers under the "This Folder" button.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iamwhoiam:
Please could we have screenshots?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] coolsva:
It shows your photo on the full screen, so screenshots are not of any use:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] coolsva:
The main goal of writing this app was to have it working on all CE devices (including GPS that do not have the .NET framework installed).

Also, there are more transitions than just the slides that are visible when you are in slide-show mode
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Lodd:
Amazing Program!!

I've just gotten myself a windows mobile phone. I looked everywhere for a simple photo viewer that could scroll through images by tapping on the left or right of the screen. I didnt understand why resco photoviewer or pqv or any of those other photo viewers didnt have this feature. It was so frustrating.

Also I wanted to browse folders starting at a pre-configured Picture folder. I didnt want the program to go scanning my whole PDA for pics including gifs and pngs for some other softwares.

Finally found this program and I'm really happy.

I wonder if you're still developing this program though? This thread doesnt seem to be active anymore. I hope you'll still continue developing this program.

If you're too busy, I'd be happy to help in some aspects of coding or improving the program. It really is that amazing to me.

Hope this program is still alive.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] coolsva:
Glad to hear that this application is working well for you.

I have not stopped development on this, added additional features like PNG, GIF decoding and automatic rotation.

This being a PPC forum, there is not much need for this app since there are multiple options (including built-in applications). I had made this app and many others primarily for GPS and other low end devices without the standard libraries.

I will update this thread with the latest version and also add other applications I have built (including native MP3/OGG player, simple shell, GPS dashboard etc), all totally skinnable and configurable
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Lodd:
The program has been amazing. Loads huge pictures with no problem. It's definitely faster than Vito's EyePhoto.

But Coolsva, I have a question. Now call me crazy, but I want to be able to set it up so that when I click a jpg file in file explorer or total commander, it will open up in your photoviewer instead of the windows mobile default viewer (coz it sucks). What're the parameters to do so? I tried the normal parameter "%1" but it doesn't seem to work.

I'm glad you're still working on this program.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pocket drock:
Cool program , but zoom would be nice feature
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lastnikita:
Looks interesting, please do it ! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] harpshot:
Just now landed at this thread after spending a while checking out google results for "windows mobile picture viewer". Coolsva's prog sounds very worth trying, but I'm wondering if 0.68 is still the latest release?

Yes, Ambient Display on will reduce the delay

---------- Post added at 05:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 AM ----------

The delay was deliberately increased to alleviate screen flickering issues... I don't think they will do anything about it
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bill10:
Ok so if the fingerprint is slow with ambient display on then this is new. So if you update you might as well turn ambient display off as I have always done to save battery. Now that the fingerprint is slow with ambient display on or off it really doesn't matter now. You have a slow fingerprint
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] idees:
the fingerprint sensor is 1 sec slower with both ambient display on&off.

Very very annoying

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
They first introduced this in P, so I have had it for awhile. One work around is to tap the power button first, that turns on the display and then the fingerprint works faster. It feels smoother and faster. I got used to doing that pretty quickly and it seems natural now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Agreed. However, I hate it when google takes one of the best features of our devices, makes it not as good as when we first got it, then calls it new and improved because they used a new lg panel. Oh well, that's progress.......I guess! ??

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bsweetness:
The same delay is there for me when using the fingerprint sensor or when pressing the power button. While I've read about others having a similar issue before, I never had the delay prior to the June security update. Turning on ambient display does decrease the delay, but I'm not an ambient display user.

This does work, but it's not something I'm going to do. Positioning my hand to hit them both in succession is a little awkward, and takes more time than just waiting for the delay. I'm sure I'd get faster at it over time.

Thanks for the heads up on one other workaround though.

Read through the Flash Kernel thread. There has been some good discussion about it including some technical info. Yes it's intentional, and Google prolly won't do anything about changing it. Maybe down the road a dev will bake in the removal of the delay into a custom Rom and or kernel.

Interesting point. I hold it in my right hand. So what hand do you righties hold it in?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] frippi:
What helps a bit is having "Lift to check phone" enabled in gestures. That way when you lift your phone it starts to turn display on, so delay between placing your finger and having display actually on is somewhat smaller.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CPngN:
I'm a mostly-righty, and I hold it in my left hand most of the time. But when it's in my left hand, my thumb isn't near the power button, my index finger is, because I don't hold it backward... tends to be hard to read when it's facing my palm.. ;)

Hmmmm:confused:, If it's looking like they won't take this back, change, or offer to make this "feature" customizable, asking the experts out here on XDA & Pixel 2 forums -- is there anything, either in development or currently out, that can modify and change this and put it back (or close enough back) to how it was originally then?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
I'm no expert Simple Man(love that song) but as you've probably seen in the Flash kernel thread that Flash and Sultan have been working on at least a commit that may help us out. Flash has an experimental kernel build that others have reported works fairly well. I agree that it all B.S. in the first place! ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] simplepinoi177:
You may not be an expert, but you are the man Badger Man!;)

Thanks for the info! It's exactly what I was asking/looking/hoping for! I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way (your last sentence)! I can't believe their reasoning even -- minor screen flashing from the always-on ambient display! I doubt it was that widespread of an issue; and even if, the owners of devices that

DON'T

have the issue (like me/us) have to suffer?!?!

As I've said, if anything, they should offer a way to revert or "untick" the option instead of hoping and waiting for other outside developers to do it...!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
If your interested my brother, Flash just pushed a beta build, it's 2.44b3. And it pretty much brings our unlock time back to normal. Gotta love these Devs like Flash and Sultan. They should be hired by google to clean up their mess! :good::good:
