[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] jcostanza4:
With the release of the US Touch Dual (HTC Neon 300 / Niki200) sold through Best Buy, I am looking for a willing individual to dump thier Rom so that Niki100 users can try to port it to their devices.

Dumping this Rom can help bring a stock WM6.1 Rom to other Niki owners. If you have a US Touch Dual purchased from Best Buy and you would like to help, please post here.

If there is any contributing information/problems on compatibility, development, Rom porting or if this is already in progress please feel free to update this thread.

Any help and information would be greatly appreciated,

-Thanks-

Niki200 is only a Device Type. Niki200 Roms work on Niki100 Device too, without modding ... porting ... only dump is required!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] jcostanza4:
Thanks for the information - Do we know if the HTC Neon 300 and Niki200 are one in the same?

Thats what I was wondering, and didn't know if you could do that with the diference in the bands and possible hardware changes.

Notice the image below for different camera placement on the US Touch Dual (HTC Neon 300) as compared to the Niki100. I wonder what else has changed internally.

Thanks-

I'm glad to see someone has also put in this request... I was under the impression that i was being ignored... hehehehe

Anyway, i'm hoping the Neon300 has the same specs as the Neon200, i've ported WM6.1 to the Neon200 but it just has to many hardware issues with a NIKI/Kaiser Rom.

So if we get a dump, we can start cooking... and get some nice Roms.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Goines:
Anyone come up with a dump yet? I would very much be interested as I'm doing some development for a 6.1+ app and would love to see the stock rom on my dual.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] shortyboy:
just got one not too long ago and im willing to help.anyone got a wiki on how-to dump a rom?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] jcostanza4:
Excellent, I am really appreciative for your help as well as others I am sure!

I have put together all the information and links you should need to dump your rom, I hope you will find this easy and if you have questions please don't hesitate to ask.

You will need these Tools/applications:

Here is an excellent video on how to dump in Quicktime format:

Credits to doctajay and his thread with video tutorials found here-

Dumping Your ROM (51.3 MB)

I recomend saving the video to your computer for easier playback; to do this right click on the image and click "save target as" and choose a location to save it to. The tutorial is not that long but the video time is because you watch him dump his rom, I just scrolled through this.

To Upload

you can upload the raw files using a websites like www.rapidshare.com and post the links for users to download, if you need help or other solutions let me know.

Thank you greatly,

I just got a Touch Dual (WWE), and was trying to dump the rom last night. I was getting an error from pdocread and ended up reading the hermes dumping entry on the wiki and came across this regkey change:

HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies

valuename '00001001' was set to dword:2, change it to dword:1

Once I performed that pdocread worked great, and dumping went perfectly.

Nice, thanks!

I played with this for a bit, and it's probably my lack of skill, but has anyone successfully cooked a rom using this dump?

Mine keep getting stuck at the loading screen "smart mobility".

Thanks for the dump, we are off to a great start now!

There is a Niki Kitchen based off of the kaiser kitchen found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1837580

I will dig into this rom and see if I can get it to work on the Niki100. I will also take a look at the camera app and see what I can do. I am fairly new to cooking so I can't pomise anything at this point.

Again, thanks for your rom dump. This will bring great improvment to the community I am sure.

I successfully flashed the US Touch Dual Rom that was dumped to the Niki100 (20 Key)

However I am getting alot of bugs; No error messages but certain elements that do not work or are buggy. I have the NBH file if anyone is interested but it clearly has some issues. I had to create a work around to get past the error number [244] : INVALID MODEL ID and maybe this why my device ended up with these bugs.

Here is what Doesnt Work:

No system noises or sounds through internal speaker or speaker phone which also effects calls(midi ringtones work with incoming calls )

Keyboard Bug - Keyboard works like 16 Key version for the keys with numbers but other 6 keys work normal (I have Niki 20 Key Version) Example: If you press any of the number keys you get numbers, multi tapping only enters the number again. If you hit keys not on the number pad like the QW key it works normally; you get Q and if pressed again you get W.

keyboard Backlight & Quick Tasks works in reverse, backlight on/open quick list when keyboard shut and backlight off/Application closed when open. (Good news is the Quick Task is now animated with sliding motion when open/close)

Camera does not work, application works with setting controls but displays black screen. Also no second camera option.

Here is what works:

6.1 Rom loads and UI functions normally

Touchflo works (not using s600 driver)

Phone can make and receive calls (but no audio or mic functionality)

SMS works normal with Threaded capability(no audible alerts)

Midi Ring tones work with audible

HTC Home, Audio Manger and Album Applications work (camera appplication works but camera does not and audio manger has no sound output)

Data Connection connects in Edge but Explorer shows this when you browse to a page:

HTTP ERROR: $CODE$

$MESSAGE$

RequestURI=/

Settings for Dual Band UMTS are shown but UMTS(800) is selected it does not connect phone or data, all other setting allow call operations and atleast Edge connectivity

Network Type options show GSM and WCDMA (When WCDMA is selected Phone icon shows searching... with blinking dots but finds nothing)

All physical buttons work (with exception of backlight on keyboard *see description in Not Working List)

On Screen Keyboard Works normally

Here is the About info:

I hope this helps with anyone working out bugs

Hi mate,

I had the exactly the same issues in reverse (Flashing a NIKI Rom on the Neon) Everything worked fine except for the keyboard and backlight working in reverse.

I managed to get 99% of the issues resolved by Porting the XIP and SYS from the NIKI but leaving the NEON OEM intact. I'm guessing the issue is in the OEM/Drivers folder with a specific dll. I asked the question to a couple of senior members but wasn't able to find a solution.

You can try porting the XIP and SYS from the US version onto your Niki see how that goes.

Let me know if you need help.

Finally Did it

After much trouble and many glasses of wine, I now have a stock WM6.1 rom running on my Niki100. I had to port the rom from shortyboy's dump using the last known HTC WWE rom to get what I think is a complete success. Thanks shortyboy, Goines and seth2006 for all your help and motivation.

I found out you have to port the rom, a straight dump and rebuild did not fully work and gave me problems I listed in a few post back, but it did get me to finally learn some things about cooking and porting. I always have bee such a weinie to start doing this until now.

Here is my first port of this rom.

OK i see ... some Guys need help!

Here some discriptions:

Your Phone doesnt Ring or you dont here any Sound!

This is a Radio Rom Problem or Core DLL Problem (XIP)! Its the same Problem why HTC Kaiser use different OS for Phones with "pre build radios"+1.27, 1.58+1.64 and 1.65 Radio Roms. ATT Kaiser and Non Branded Kaiser has different Radios too. It means ... its a Driver Problem and this is the only reason!

If you have this Problem, you can try compled different Versions. I want a OS copy from Bestbuy Phone. I think they need 1.65 Radios ... i will check this today!!!! (please dont do this, if your phone isnt secure unlock and cid unlocked!!!)

Can't create a dump with the Niki Kitchen and Flash it back!

Main Problem ... you need too edit a Device File in the Niki Kitchen. I have edit the Nikikitchen for Niki Only (i change soon the Version with Neon Settings!)

In the directory "\Tools\" you can found a importent file. "htcrt_devices.ini"

Open it with a Text editor and insert this text!

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] 05Anjelly:
Hello guys, I have just now heard that At&T is rolling out the Android Pie update to the S8 Active. Unfortunately, I do not have a AT&T SIM card on my device currently. This causes my phone to not get ANY updates. The only update I last got was when I sent my phone to a Samsung Technician after I bricked my phone from failed root attempts. I am currently in Android 8.0.0. Is there any way to flash any Pie firmware to my phone even though it is Bootloader v3? Any help is GREATLY appreciated as I am getting so tired of Oreo. I tried using Smart Switch but it says my phone is in the latest firmware update which is a lie, my security patch level is July 2018...

Edit: I have recently unlocked my phone from AT&T in hopes of getting an update, but I didn't know the firmware would stay. And no, I do not have ANY access to AT&T SIM cards or stores.

Edit 2: Solved! I just used a firmware download I got from this forum because sammobile.com did not have it here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bw-cYNY1KoEH4Pa-a9dJRQJW09r_uw93/view Just flash this firmware to your phone from Odin! This does not risk breaking or voiding your warranty if you still have one! I am enjoying Pie right now! Give thanks to the who supplied me with the firmware link and youdoofus who actually responded to me. I just wanted to be assured that the firmware that is Pie will be good for my device. This is for people who do not have ATT SIM on their phone or cannot receive update. Model number must be from ATT and SM-G892A!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Youdoofus:
the problem youre going to run into is the availability of firmwares for your phone. sammobile.com/firmwares was a bust, looking elsewhere for ya. But if you have a computer, usb type-c cable Odin and the correct firmware version and are able to get to download mode, then you should be in good shape.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] 05Anjelly:
So I have a firmware at hand with my phone model that is pie, if I update it through Odin, will it void my warranty? Or will there be any chance it will brick my phone because I have done this many times. If it wasn't for ATT bootloader v3 I would've not been asking all these questions. I have already used sammobile.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Youdoofus:
it will not void your warranty. isnt your warranty expired on an S8 anyways? only rooting/unlocking bootloader will void the warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] 05Anjelly:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bw-cYNY1KoEH4Pa-a9dJRQJW09r_uw93/view

Here is the firmware that I want to upload into my SM-G892A, will this help my phone get Pie? Will I need to download any special Odin? Thanks for the help. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Youdoofus:
the firmware version in your link is the one in this article which is pie, so yes. As far as Odin goes, i usually default to the newest one if im out downloading one anyways. 3.13.1 is the latest version. https://odindownload.com/SamsungOdin/#.XWFVzOhKjb0

Yes, I just did it, and wow! I got Pie! Thank you so much:good::good::good::good:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sonyhack:
Some tips before flashing? Did you flash every file on the .zip archive? (BL_ , AP_ , CSC and so?)

Factory reset before/after flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] 05Anjelly:
Since its just an update, you are able to keep your data if you put HOME_CSC in the bottom box. So, yes use every file if you want to keep your data. If not, put CSC where its supposed to be and thats it. I don't have access to my computer but thats what I did. You don't need factory reset. Just go to any "How to Install Any Firmware Update through Odin" Video on YouTube and you should see a good tutorial. It is just an update. I hope I fixed you problem! Don't be nervous about updating, only be nervous when you flash a ROM on it!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Youdoofus:
nothing other than having the correct version of Odin for your phone and ADB drivers installed along with the correct firmware files. And yes the Home_CSC is to not factory reset, and the regular CSC is to factory reset it

PIT Error

I tried flashing the files you provided, but it keeps failing on "Get PIT for Mapping". I tried 4 times and every one failed on the same part. I am on the exact same baseband version you were on, the provider is AT&T and the phone is unlocked. I don't get what the problem is...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Youdoofus:
you need to go into the CSC file and extract the PIT. once extracted, go into the other options in Odin and put the pit in its slot, then reflash with the CSC you got the PIT from in its proper place along with the others.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] NeverEndingCycle:
Alright, how do I go about extracting the PIT file from the CSC file?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Youdoofus:
The CSC is just a compressed file, so WinRAR will do it if 7zip doesnt
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] NeverEndingCycle:
I did that but it didn't change anything. Do I need to remove the pit file from the CSC file?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Youdoofus:
shouldnt need to. flash the 4 files again in Odin but select the "re-partition" box

Google Pixel 4/XL 256GB & Snapdragon 855+ 5G model options would be fantastic!

128GB option has been around since Pixel 1 it's time for more memory options please....

Apple has 512GB models available and Samsung has 1TB models +MicroSD 512GB on top so yeah Google it's time for 256GB+ memory options!

And use the fastest Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+

Anyone here anything on either?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Combonary:
128GB, 855 or 855+ and at least 6GB RAM would be an easy buy
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] alher591:
sounds like you guys are dreaming. google would never lol
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Combonary:
Hahahaha you mean no 855, 6GB RAM or 128GB storage? Come on now[emoji1787]
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
It's Pixel, so be logical.;)

So, think of:

- Soli radar chip(surely)with unmatched gestures.(Hoping with assurance).

- 64GB, 128 GB storage. UFS 2.1, UFS 3.0 if we are super lucky.

- 6 GB RAM, LPDDR4.

- SD 855, not 855+.

- Triple camera setup with outstanding performance.

- No eye catchy design, but would be acceptable.

- Less than ideal battery size. (also, not to forget Soli will occupy space).

- Acceptable size and weight unlike many, many other.

- QHD+ resolution.

- 90Hz refresh rate(might he 60 too, if at all it becomes 90, it'll further dent on batterylife, and NO, battery size won't be bigger just for the sake of it).

- Some software bugs right outta box.

- Average charging speed, with about 18W.

- Weirdest naming for all colors.

- Outrageous pricing in some countries.

........etc.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Combonary:
Very accurate
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Tribulation St:
Pixel 4 OR Pixel 4 a

You're specs feel very on the light side.... Would be OK if you're talking about Google Pixel 4a would make sense!

So same storage for 4 years in a row.... Same old 18w charging for 4 years in a row.... Very sad...... No reason not to have an 256GB option and have 45w charging technology late 2019.

Updated Snapdragon 855+ should be minimal on Pixel 4/XL as they did with Pixel 1 used the updated Snapdragon 821 must remind you.

I personally you want less specs then you should wait for Pixel 4a..... That's the hole point of the 4a series.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
I'm not "expecting" less, I'm talking about what Google does historically. Hardware specs-wise, it's better to keep expectation "little low" - is my whole point and I'm talking 'bout pixel 4/4XL only.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
Yeah, never go short on Google's ability to find a way to underwhelm.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
Pretty much all of the specs have been confirmed. The Pixel 4 XL will have a 3700mAh battery. The Pixel 4 will have a 2800mAh battery. Both will have a 90hz screen screen so basically crappy battery life. There will only be two cameras. The regular and a telephoto. Both are going to be very big. Even the "small" one will be huge. But that's typical these days.

I haven't seen any info on storage type.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
Yeah, between soli and the 90hz, the battery should've been a bit bigger. But if it gets through a day, that's all that matters to me. I'm more interested in knowing if it will have UFS 3.0. Internal storage is a thing of the past, thanks to cloud services, so 128gb will be enough for me.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
At one point back in the Nexus days I recall Google had the position that 4 hours of screen on was enough for almost all to get through the day and virtually everyone charged daily no matter what level of charge remained. That was then their target goal and probably still is based on their continued arrival at around that level. For me that really is enough charge and yes I do charge every day even with phones that will go longer since it's convenient to charge overnight. I'm a lot more worried about it reopening apps that shouldn't have been dropped out of memory due to lack of the same and GUI redraws when going to the main menu, that sort of thing.

They had also been working on a tech that allowed on the fly refresh rate changes. This would allow for the phone to go to 90 when you wake it up in front of an expected flick through the GUI, while playing a game, etc. The rest of the time when the phone is steady state such as watching a video it can drop back down to 60 to save battery. I'm in no way am saying that this tech is in the upcoming Pix as I've read nothing of the kind. Just saying I know they were working on dynamic refresh and to me that opens up the possibility that it could be in play on this phone until we learn otherwise.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
This seems to be the Pixel 4 or 4XL with a new "leaked video".
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
Yep, they have found reference to the 90 hz refresh in 10 (Q) that specifically points to this device. Also that the refresh is dynamic as I described above; it seems it will have an indicator that tells you what refresh is active and in developer options there will be (could be) some controls for it.

I'm so getting this phone, it's about as done as a deal can get.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
A 3700mAh battery is too small even for a phone without Soli and just a 60hz screen. With Soli and a 90hz screen the battery doesn't need to be "a bit bigger" it needs to be MUCH bigger. Like 20% bigger. The Pixel 4 XL really needs a 4500mAh battery.

Getting through a day depends on what you are doing. My Pixel 2 XL, even when it was new, struggled to get through a full day on heavy use days (about 20% of my usage). With a 90hz screen and the Soli chip with a battery that is only 5% bigger than the Pixel 2 XL the battery life of the Pixel 4 XL will likely be worse than the battery life of the Pixel 2 XL which already wasn't great.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
Google for some reason hasn't learnt how to accommodate bigger batteries. :o
