Hello CowboyJoe,

I'm using Acronis True Image Home. When you restore from backup to USB drive,

you can select one option from two.

1) FAT32

2) MBR and Track 0

I attach screen capture of Acronis.

I feel sorry that I'm using Japanese version ( not English ).

You can not select both options at same time.

I recommend, restore FAT32 at 1st, restore MBR and track 0at 2nd.

[Shift General] CowboyJoe:
Thanks, I got it to work. I was able to reimage the HDD and get rid of the 3gig in hidden partition to provide more space.
[Shift General] killer_t:

[Shift General] riki0081:
Hello killer_t,

I attach archived two files.

One is BACKUP.LOG for restore, another one is TESTDISK.LOG for information.

Would you restore yourself ?

Hellllp deleted my Windows Vista & Recovery on HTC Shift

Help CowieBoy, can you do me a favor? I accidentally write on the Modified HD, now I lost the Windows Vista & Recovery File, can you please Upload all the Recovery File on Megaupload I now its a bit inconvenient but hope you can give it a try? Pls pls I really need your help & I would really appreciate it.

The biggie is XVISTA.WIM which is approx. 2gig in size. Now how would I execute or launch the file to do an install on to a fresh HDD. I know that with the fresh HD I will not be able to do this like before using FN+F3. But thats ok. But at least I have a copy of the Initial Install of Vista Business for the Shift as it comes from the OEM.
[Shift General] Soween:
Hello,

Can you help me to solve my problem with my shift (I can't restore my Vista with Fn+F3, because il doesn't find anything...).

So I tried (hard) to make visible my recovery partition (I did it from a usb key bootable).

What I did is following the previous steps, and when I hit "write", there was a problem (no more Vista at bootup). But I recover from it and now, this is what I found doing the same steps :

ICC -i

>same things than before, same characteristics

ICC -b

>78126048LBA

and it says "Capacity is changed. Reboot".

TestDisk

I did everything 'till :

> * HPFS-NTFS 0 1 1 4861 254 63 78107967

This is different from what I'm supposed to have, because there is one missing...

After a "Deeper search" : I have 5 lines instead of 2 in your example...

> HPFS-NTFS 0 1 1 4861 254 63 78107967

> HPFS-NTFS 0 32 33 4470 254 63 71824567 [Systeme]

> HPFS-NTFS 0 32 33 4470 254 63 71824567 [Systeme]

> FAT32 LBA 4471 0 1 4863 30 62 6299432 [no name]

> FAT32 LBA 4471 0 1 4863 30 62 6299432 [no name]

What is my problem, because, of course, I can't see the hidden partition...

Thank you.
[Shift General] killer_t:
You have wrong to digit ICC -b

Your recovery partition now are destroyed...

If you want put all file in hidden partition and recompile it with bartpe do this:

Run TESTDISK

[ Create ][ Append ][ No Log ] <- select No Log

Disk 80 - 40 GB / 37 GiB

[Proceed ][ Quit ] -< select Proceed

[Intel ] select here

[EFI GPT]

[Mac ]

[None ]

[Sun ]

[XBox ]

[Return ]

[ Analyse ] select here

[ Advanced ]

[ Geometry ]

[ Options ]

[ MBR Code ]

[ Delete ]

[ Quit ]

1 * HPFS - NTFS 0 1 1 4470 254 63 71826552 [HTCX9500]

[Quick Search] [ Backup ] <- select Quick Search

Should TestDisk search for partition created under vista ? [Y/N] <- Press N

Disk 80 - 40 GB / 37 GiB - CHS 4863 255 63

Partition Start End Size in sectors

* HPFS - NTFS 0 1 1 4470 254 63 71826552 [HTCX9500]

P FAT32 LBA 4471 0 1 4863 254 63 6313545 [NO NAME]

[ Quit ] [Deeper Search] [ Write ] <- select Deeper Search

run totally deepersearch, and you have to find the fat32 [NO NAME] partition, and if you don't find the hpfs [HTCX9500] partition you have to create one..

Select [HTCX9500] primary bootable, and [NO NAME] primary

Write partition table and reboot.

Now you can see the HPA partition, but you can't use that in future with FN+F3!!
[Shift General] Soween:
Sorry, I was typing the final "deepersearch" thing when you answered, it changes a little what you are saying, sorry...
[Shift General] killer_t:
Typing deeper search, but you have to wait ALL searching time (100%):)
[Shift General] Soween:
I did it and I obtained this :

> HPFS-NTFS 0 1 1 4861 254 63 78107967

> HPFS-NTFS 0 32 33 4470 254 63 71824567 [Systeme]

> HPFS-NTFS 0 32 33 4470 254 63 71824567 [Systeme]

> FAT32 LBA 4471 0 1 4863 30 62 6299432 [no name]

> FAT32 LBA 4471 0 1 4863 30 62 6299432 [no name]

it is so long to type that I did a mistake in my first post, my apologize...
[Shift General] killer_t:
Ok when you see this 5 partition, you have to choose 1primary bootable [Systeme] and 1 primary [no name] and write the partition table!!

reboot, enjoy.
[Shift General] Soween:
I did it (it is very long!!!).

And now, it is working, I can see the partition.

I will continue to restore my Vista on the shift...

Thank you and see you soon (perhaps).
[Shift General] killer_t:
No, if you restore with icc 71826615LBA, you can press FN+F3 and you see the menu screen, but when you restart, the restore process doesn't start because ther's a cluster violation!!

Bye
[Shift General] Soween:
Yes, I can't use the Fn+F3.

But I can take the files on a usb drive and boot from it, right?
[Shift General] killer_t:
yes, but i'v not sure, because you have corrupt your data..

Try with riky solution (acronis ecc..... HERE) and post your result here!!!
[Shift General] Soween:
I'm still working on it (I mean, the shift itself is worki,g... 8-) ).

But what I did, because I didn't follow exactly the steps from the forum (I couldn't use the acronis software) :

- made a usb key bootable

- show hidden files from D: (hidden/visible partition)

- copied the files to the usb key

- boot from the usb key and followed the steps...

I'm right now at another Vista start up after some drivers's install.

But it seems to work...

I need a better connection (at home) to D/L all the MS updates and the HTC updates (from htc.com).

I'll let you know if my system is better after this.

Hello, after make visible partition and create an USB boot disk, and if the restore partition id deleted in order to have more space in Vista, is it possible to restore the Snapvue to factory defaults? or this snapvue restore is not included in the recovery partition?
[Shift General] Pantaloonie:
The snapvue or windows mobile restore files are stored in the rom on the winmo side.

You can wipe or even remove the hard drive, and you'll still be able to restore the snapvue side to defaults.

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilistix:
Hi All,

Hoping you can help I have an xperia tablet which was on Android 5.1.1 and which i tried to upgrade to 7 and think i may have screwed it up.

I was using lineage OS guidance. I am using ADBdriver tool. Currently the table is stuck in twrp recovery. When in fastboot mode I can use the fastboot devices command and see the device. I can use the fastboot flashboot command and flashboot reboot.

When i try to use the adb push (imagefile) command it says adb: error failed to get feature set : no devices/emulators found.

If i use adb devices command it doesn't see anything.

In device manager I have under android device a device called 'google nexus ADB interface'....not sure if this should say xperia, not sure how to change it. Sony website advises using ADB version 26.0.2 I have tried that and version 26.0.0.

At this point I'd be happy to flash the xperia boot on instead in the hope that would fix it but i don't know where to find it.

Just to add, I have installed the sony flashtool. I can see the device, apparently there is way to put back a sony boot using the tool but I don't know where to get one.

Using 'Emma' I have a working device now but its on 4.4.4. which isn't great! Any ideas?

So I'm not sure what to do and would massively appreciate some help :D

Thanks
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootk1t:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Saikot Khan:
Just bought Note 7 yesterday. Got an update. Current Rom version is Miui 10 (10.2.8.0) Stable. My phone's battery is draining a lot.

My previous device was Redmi Note 5 Ai and on that device I got a great battery backup. Like 1 hour+ SOT consume only 10% charge but on RN7 I got only 30-35 min SOT on 10% charge.

And draining percentage is also high, regular social media and other task takes around 400-500 mA continuously but on RN5 it was only 300-350 mA

Is is rom issue or something else?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Incogn:
RN5 and RN7 has same size battery. But RN7 uses more powerful and power hungry soc, AND has bigger display to light. So dont you think its only logical to get such results?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] SonyObsessed:
Wait, i thought the more powerful a chipset is, the more it's optimized to be less battery hungry? Wow, thank goodness I never fell for those flagships with 3000mAh.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Incogn:
With smartphone socs its all about semiconductor size. While its true that newer architecture 7nm snapdragon 855 will be more power EFFICIENT than 10nm snapdragon 845, it doesnt necessarily mean its gonna use less power, because its also faster, running at highers clocks and in result using more power. If 855 only had to reach 845 performance level, then yes, it would use less power. In this case, RN5 uses sd636, while RN7 uses sd660, which is basically same soc. Same architecture, same design, only difference being sd660 is a bit faster because its clock frequency is bigger. To put it simply sd660 is overclocked sd636. So logically it uses more power, because higher frequency requires higher voltage, and higher voltage means more energy used.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] GuestK00171:
I've never seen such a big community and a lot of custom ROMs like this. OK, it is a good, cheap phone. But a lot of people cannot buy it and have to choose another cheaper one.

So @ all Devs here: Don't forget us!!!

Have a look at Mi Max 3 for example, or others.

There is not only one custom ROM since half a year!

It is frustrating...frustrating not have the money for God-Phone PocoF1 and have to use only MIUI! Please look and help us...
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] whrynox:
Donate some phones on developers and they might start working on it on free time. They can't just buy and work on a phone without a good number of user base to start with. Oh yes, emphasis on term 'free time' because they do it as free extra work without forcing you to pay and most of them work on multiple devices.

Poco F1 had a good start because it was marketed as custom development friendly and sponsored by Poco Gobal itself. They started giving out phones to known developers voted by users.

If in the first place you were prioritizing custom development as criteria for new phone, then you should had waited for Poco to get cheaper or just saved more money. Mi Max series were never that attractive to developers to start with.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] GuestK00171:
Thats not truth...there a lot of MiMax3 users and Devs...donate without ROM? No way...! Why 150.000 ROMs for only ONE phone here?!?!?!?!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Saswata Chakraborty:
That's because the devs here are willing to spend their free time on development. And if you want custom development for your device, request it to the respective XDA channel. This channel is for Poco F1.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] bower1994:
To be honest I see the major point for such big community is the 3 day bootloader unlock. Obviusly apart from the giveaway Poco themeselves promoted and even the community has bought throught donations phones for some great developers who started their work blind building... It's a community builded thanks to the company efforts in making it possible (it's not like they do it perfectly but the results are here to be seen.)

Even if your community bought today a mi max 3 for some great developers there would be at least 3 months away from trying the roms in their own devices...

I don't know man... if you look up for mi max 3 on internet prices are around 220€ and today i have seen offers for pocohone at 250€. While I'm sorry for you I strongly recommend to look up to the community a phone gets before buying it.

Have a good day sir.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Skinpipe:
agreed i buy phones that i know will have good development, not buy and then moan about it on the internet afterwards when there are no custom roms available.

lesson learnt the hard way
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] doomed151:
Don't demand, contribute. You should start developing for your device so that other devs can join in. If you don't know how to do so, then learn. If you want an active dev community, check the forums before buying a phone.

Remember, we get custom kernels and ROMs because the devs want to share the product of their hobby. They can keep it all for themselves and it's still totally fine. Please have some respect.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] vinumsv:
Well thats your money and what you do with it it's your decision but how can we expect someone to spend their free time without some sort of motivation to do so ? in Poco case the company contacted all popular devs and send then free phones to kick start it .
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] rajeshkoshti:
One should always search for "Popular devices of particular year". Many tech websites including xda and gsmarena(dot)com display most popular devices on their websites. Also while making a buying decision always check how many devices sold or reviewed on shopping websites. This way you eliminate lesser popular phones and arrive at conclusion.:good:

All the best.:fingers-crossed:
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] tehrzky:
lesson learned after buying a phone without active community makes your phone lonely and it was a long time ago. and now before buying new phone i always check if community is active on that kind model then i buy.. too bad this is your first time experiencing that.

My gf has a RN6 Pro, which I thought would have a big community and a lot of devs will work on it, custom roms, etc just like it's successor, RN5 Pro. But it's not. Should I say that it's not fair? Come on, nobody ever asked you to buy that phone or to use custom rom. Maybe next time you'd better wait before buying a phone.

Thread Cleaned and all off topic posts have been deleted.

Please STOP creating a redundant thread and more so post in the wrong section. If you want custom roms for your device please post in your device section. I suggest you read the forum rules before you post and always request for something you desire in the correct device specific section.

Please be respectful to the community when you post and never post in a demanding way. I have cleaned up the thread, Edited the Tittle and moved it to the Mi Max 3 Section, Please continue the discussion here on a positive note and request for developer assistance.

Help us keep the forum clean and do not clutter the other device sections with irrelevant threads. If you still want to know why Poco F1 is a desired choice you can check the existing discussions and contribute towards a healthy discussion and outlook.

I also recommend you do some research before making your purchase decision for your next device. Some Developer Friendly Devices that i can suggest are OnePlus & Pixel Devices. Just in case you dont like them or find them expensive, you can wait for the Poco F2 to be announced later this year.

Thank you for your consideration,

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] bucenk:
It's not anybody's fault that there are no more dev working on other phone. You're just whiny that the reality doesn't work the way you want. Don't blame others. Just sell your phone and buy a new one.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] pakudaboy:
poco screen not big enough. and cpu overkill for alot of things.

also max users prefer to have a phone no need to charge up to 2 days with mid/heavy usage.

a phone without battery is useless. max series just too good for travelling and gaming.

then again...EU has saved Max3 with their rom :) all we need just an undervolt kernel with more cpu governor options.

AFAIK you can't use Alexa to write and send voice messages ... the app doesn't "know" anything about your Watch or Phone ... it just provides Alexa functionality (general questions, home device control etc.).
