[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] quicksite:
Hi all, I'm a noob, as evidenced by my "101" question.

I have done my due diligence first, looking at wiki, then at page for my WING device, thru various NOOB helpful threads, thru sig files of thread-starters, using Google search of XDA, and searching FAQ of this Forum.

(1) IS there a simple glossary page amongst the various pieces of XDA sites? If so, could I get a link please. If not, it may be a good idea.

(2) The scariest thing for a newbie is finding what seems to be the perfect Orientation thread (such as on wiki page for Herald), and "links for all nebies" sticky threads, only to be hit right out the gate with terms one is unfamiliar with, and are not defined.

(3) I know I don't need to give an example, but I will anyway :)

I find this "starting point" sticky thread from the wiki for Herald.

>> !! - ALL Important LINKS - !! < > !! Noobs and ALL read carefully !! <<

It's a fantastic service to have a top-level guide for beginners -- and no complaints at all... I'm just identifying that I am sort of terrified right out of the gate, as I see this:

How 2to flash

Hard-SPL - READ carefully

and I have no idea what Hard-SPL is. So I go to that link/thread because it's a top instruction on the list, and I find this:

with IPL 4.xxx and higher!!! (that is IMPORTANT)

I have no idea what IPL is, or where to find it. So I go to my WING device under settings > system > Device Info > and I look at each tab. I do not find IPL -- but I am told this is important, and from reading around, I understand the concept of bricking a phone, if one does not read carefully.

So I go to GOOGLE SEARCH within XDA, and enter "Hard SPL" to try to get a definition. I try these:

Hard-SPL, Or How to Not Brick Your PDA Ever Again And Fix Bad Blocks!

I search further using Google within XDA and find this thread:

which now gives me an initial framework of understanding "what is Hard SPL" :

But don't flash ROMs containing IPL/SPL. Once again, IPL -- what is it?

I search Google for that as well. I also search for SuperCID, because I don't know what that means either. I searched more threads, and then I concluded: okay, I'm going in circles, so I am going to post and ask "Is there a Glossary?"

If there isn't, could someone please define for me these various essentials?

IPL

SPL

RRU

CID

RADIO

Thanks very much. And fwiw I I included examples in this thread in the spirit of the XDA forum, so that it might help someone else after me :)
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] fzzyrn:
IPL- basically the phone's bios. It controls the boot order (i think)

SPL- This is like the protocol for ROM access. There are something like different levels of access depending on what one needs to do. HardSPL sets the level permanently to the highest level (this is simplified)

RUU- you use this to flash roms and stuff. it contains the instructions for accessing the ROM

CID- this tells you whether or not you can access the rom. If it is locked, you cannot flash an unauthorized (unsigned?) rom.

Radio- these are the firmwares for GSM radio that your phone uses (bluetooth, wifi, etc are stored as part of the ROM)

By the way, at the bottom of the main page of the forums there is a dictionary section. Look around there.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, use the Hermes HardSPL to flash your device. Please change that information. That WILL KILL your device.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] quicksite:
DOH!!

Hey thanks very much! I'm still not sure if my T-Mobile Wing meets criteria specified by some of the threads. So, how does one find how one's phone meets those various specs?

(maybe it is answered below, i will read on.) thank you
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] quicksite:
Damn... And I'm an information designer... I don't know how I missed it. But thank you. That helps a lot.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] quicksite:
ivanmmj -- I'm guessing you were addressing me. I have not authored any posts or threads with any instructions of any kind; i'm wet behind the ears. If you are saying to me "Don't use HardSPL on my T-Mobile Wing", thank you, that's what I needed to know.

Re: "Please change that information", I am guessing you mean on THIS thread, about HardSPL:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=358225

It is authored by and says:

Let me rephrase and simplify my question, and maybe you can help me:

I have the T-Mobile Wing (Herald). I want to put a new rom on it, and I want to eventually run a iphone-like interface. I began at the start reading the very first directions from the sticky thread: >> !! - ALL Important LINKS - !! < > !! Noobs and ALL read carefully !! <<

And I see that I need to know my phone's specs: How do I find out for my specific phone:

1. What is it's IPL ?

2. SPL: Is there anything I need to know about this from my phone?

3. CID: How do I find out the status of my phone, if it's locked or unlocked?

Thank you much.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] randysgym:
I just ran across this thread while trying to edgercate (educate) myself on WinMo-speak. Sorry, but I could not see a dictionary section, or else I could not find the "main page" of the forums, or I'm just blind.

Help?

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] quicksite:
I feel for you, Randy... It's over 2 years later, and it's STILL not easy to find this supposedly easy to find glossary... I couldn't remember where it was so I went to the wiki -- then i had to scroll down past one whole screen and then it appears... Needless to say not very helpful information design.. But, the site is in the process of being revamped, and I am sure this is on the list of things to do to help make the information more accessible.

HERE IS THE GLOSSARY: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Glossary

When I read the part you quoted above, it brought back painful memories... Not ONE of those supposed explanations was the least bit user friendly, and each presumes you know a whole other set of terminology... It drives me nuts! It's seems to be as good a definition of HELL as any, if hell were to exist at all. :) Hope that link helps... If not, go HERE, to the Q & A general forum -- where they really truly will help newbs with almost anything.. they just ask the one thing asked everywhere: Try searching at least once.... But never drive yourself crazy with SEARCH, especially when just starting out. If you find yourself being lead into endless circles, then ask the question here -- you will FOR SURE be helped.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] freebee269:
So a couple days ago I went into a Verizon store and was looking at smart watches when one of the reps told me that the Galaxy watch works with pixel 3 now. I guess there was an update with one UI that allows the watch to work with other Android phones. So I decided to buy it because it's a sexy watch in my opinion. At first we had trouble getting the watch to activate cellular. But after talking with tech support it works just like an apple watch now. Calls go through the phone and watch at same time with option to answer either. Notifications and emails work perfectly. The screen on this watch is very good. I was also able to get Samsung pay set up on the watch just by using the Galaxy wear app and it installing a Samsung pay plugin for the watch. I just wanted to give an update in case anyone else was thinking about this watch and pairing with pixel 3.

[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] JUMPhil:
Try installing the drivers manually. Have the phone connected in debug mode. Download here and unzip: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip

Then follow this tutorial. Ignore the first 4 steps since you already downloaded the drivers. In step 12 select the folder you unzipped. https://visualgdb.com/KB/usbdebug-manual/

Most of us using custom roms, it will be helpful for me if anyone can suggest me some roms which has Permissive selinux status.

Having some problems with enforcing and problems still remains even after changing selinux.

that's why I'm stucked in a rom and can't shift because most roms comes with enforcing selinux.

tested so many roms but can't solve audio problem that's why need some rom that comes with permissive selinux by default.

any one facing same problem?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] farhanshaikh671:
Everything working fine with enforcing selinux for me. Perhaps a complete clean flash with latest firmware might fix your problem. Otherwise you can use permissive selinux module.

Updating to the lastest MIUI, unlocking and then switching to a custom ROM is a better option as updating MIUI would update the firmware as well.

[Off-topic] Nosferatu.:
Currently I have Frontier (formerly) Verizon FiOS for internet. I've been on their 100/100Mbit plan for a while and currently have one heck of a promo deal going on so I just called and upgraded to their 500/500Mbit plan.

Right now I have an old Actiontec MI424-WR router supplied from Verizon they aren't billing me for. However, they're telling me they need to upgrade my equipment and whatnot and want to now charge me for a router. What exactly are they upgrading then the ONT??? Is it some silly upgrade where nothing is happening and force them to toggle the provision on their end?

I figure at this point any router will suffice since I have ethernet coming in from the ONT correct? Unfortunately, the entry point into the house for the ethernet from the ONT is in an area where I cannot fully cover the house with WiFi since it's on the far end of the house. Therefore currently I run the Verizon router as a router with the WiFi on it disabled. I then have a separate wireless router elsewhere in the house connected via ethernet to the verizon router and running my personal router as an access point (AP Mode).

I'm looking to replace the verizon router with a switch is that do-able? Should I just move my current router into the verizon position and then buy a new router to put where the old one was? The easiest cheapest solution I think is just adding a switch but I'm not sure if that would work. What's the optimal solution here? I drew out a picture of the setup since it's a bit confusing....

I'm trying to decide what hardware I need to buy....
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] piotrekmichalski:
Hi there.

I have a U11 with superCID and permanent S-OFF.

Would like to convert it to dual SIM. Extracted sde and sdf partitions, and changed MID succesfully to 2PZC30000, but when adding 2nd IMEI to sdf1, phone doesn't allow me to boot on a bootloader level (message about modified software), i can boot with fastboot continue then, but IMEI isn't visible by Android anyway.

Need copy of sde and sdf partition from few different U11's UHL's and DUGL's to compare, and maybe some advices if anyone already tried to do it.

UPDATE:

Small update - phone does see 2nd card, problem is still with IMEI. 2nd slot has no IMEI and because of that, no service

UPDATE2:

Succesfully flashed all the firmware for DUGL, download mode shows OCNDUGL now, installed DUGL RUU, sdf1 partition got IMEI2 successfully implemented (been not booting because of checksum error, had to do checksum first).

Android still can't see IMEI2, erasing persist, cache, modemst1 and modemst2 doesn't help. What's strange is that on DUGL RUU seems that Android can't see 2nd SIM slot if occupied, where on UHL rom Android definitely recognize if there's SIM in slot 1 or 2 or both.

Any advices?

Is there any easy way to silence everything except for the Alarm function when I go to sleep each night? I want to have Notifications for emails and Calendar events audible during the day. But at night I want to have a silent phone with the exception of the Alarm Clock. Seems a simple ask but tricky to accomplish.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Kuzcotopia:
An easy way: Get pTravelAlarm :)

It overrides your soundsettings. Pretty darn handy !
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] logger:
Sounds good. Will check it out. However it is dissapointing that this capability is not in the phone without add on software.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] logger:
I am somewhat surprised no one else seems interested in a "silence everything except for the Alarm" function! Seems to me a good way to have the phone set of a night time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bapssystupr3m3:
haha why are u so suprised?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] logger:
Because it would seems to be the logical mode to have your phone in at night if you need to use the Alarm and do not want to be disturbed by anything else. Not much point having a wakeup Alarm set in a device that pops and farts all night keeping you awake (emails/reminders etc) :mad:

Instead you can set the phone to silent mode to avoid the sleep interruptions and then the Alarm wont sound :rolleyes:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bapssystupr3m3:
well i get your point...i do the same with phone suite..in a different way to achieve the same result i guess

what i do is just set my alarm at lets say 7am...then select the silence profile to 6:59am...so at 6:59am it will change to the vibrate profile and then at 7 my alarm would vibrate...and any calls/text n such before 6:59am would just be under the silent profile :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Matthes42:
Yes, there is an easy way to do it. Use PhoneAlarm, it´s a kind of Swiss knife. For example you can create profiles like you might know it from Nokia phones. Your night profile may leave the alarm funktion working.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] logger:
Will check it out as well. Like you say a timed profile would indeed do the trick. Still, I find it disappointing that this capability is not built into such an expensive phone and you have to pay extra for it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] johanromijn:
There's an easier solution.

Try enAlarmPPC.

Just turn the sound off; alarm will still sound!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hicks:
PhoneAlarm Lite will do what you want and it is free.

I do agree that it's an irritating omission from Windows Mobile, but it's not the only one. That's why places like xda-dev are so useful ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ssunstone:
I've been needing just this sort of functionality myself recently and was disppointed that this feature doesnt exist as with most phones my blackberry can be turned off and it'll still sound the alarm only......come on Microsoft....pull your bleedin socks up !!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] logger:
If thats this PhoneAlarm Lite it is not free and costs €14.50 with a 30 day free trial. I do not want to have to pay that sort of money for single simple feature that should be in the bloody OS in the first place. I am sure PhoneAlarm is an excellent product but I have no use for all its other features. (Like buying a car to listen to the radio when I could have bought a radio). Wish there was just a registry key I could change that would force that Alarm to sound when the phone is set to its Silent profile. Even a tiny app that would achieve just this functionality and nothing else would be worth paying a couple of bucks for.

Yeah even my ancient Palm Pilot that started all this would do this too :p
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] tigerxchaos:
Hey all, I'm looking for a quick bit of assistance from anyone who has a OnePlus 7 Pro, a Windows PC, and a few minutes of time.

I need to grab the hardware IDs being reported in Device Manager for the phone when connecting it in MTP and in PTP mode. This is to configure USB file transfer blocking with a data protection suite in my company's environment.

I have the IDs from my own phone but need to verify whether or not they change from phone to phone.

Instructions:

1) Connect the phone to a Windows PC and set it to MTP/file transfer mode.

2) Open up device manager and expand "Portable Devices", then right click on GM1917 and select Properties. (To get to Device Manager, you can right click the Start menu on Windows 10, or click Start and search for Device Manager, or Win+R and type in devmgmt.msc)

3) In the properties window, switch to the Details tab, then change the drop-down menu to "Hardware IDs". I need both IDs from that list. They can be copied from that window by right clicking on them.

4) Repeat the above process, but this time expand "Universal Serial Bus devices" and choose "ADB Interface".

5) Repeat the above process with the phone set to PTP/picture transfer mode.

Can either reply back here or send me a direct message with the information. If there's any privacy concerns with doing this, let me know. As far as I know, there wouldn't be any implications from sharing this information unless someone wanted to write some sort of malware specifically targeting these phones, which they probably wouldn't need me to supply information for anyway.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide!
