Device: HTC TyTN II

Bootloader: KAIS130

SPL-3.28.0000

CPLD-8

ROM: RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship

Problem: I tried to sync the device with my desktop (running XP Media Center edition sp3) using ActiveSync 4.5 like I normally do. However, this time the device wouldn't sync and it would just hang. I unplugged the device from USB so that I could try again. The phone immediately went into bootloader. It is currently stuck in this mode.

Steps taken:

First I called HTC tech support hotline. The rep walked me through several steps, but nothing fixed the problem. We tried soft resetting, holding down the power + camera buttons and then soft resetting, hard resetting: nothing worked. He then stated that the device's ROM probably got erased when I unplugged it from USB. He instructed me to download the official 6.1 ROM from HTCs website and then try to re-flash the phone.

I tried doing this, but I still cannot get the ROM onto the device. In bootloader, I plug the device into USB and I get an error message that the device is not recognized. I soft reset the phone and then run the RUU and it begins to flash the device. After 10 minutes, I get a message saying that the flash was successful but the phone just resets back to bootloader.

After searching through the forum and wiki, I am still at a loss as to how to proceed without instruction from an expert. I think I read something about using mtty, but I am afraid to do so on the Kaiser because I read that typing the wrong instructions could be disastrous.

I humbly request any kind Kaiser experts to help me with my problem! Thanks :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] P1Tater:
I suggest getting in touch with the moderator named GSLEON3. He is probably going to be your best bet of getting back up and running. Good Luck:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sir topas:
Ok, I can't get in touch with GSLEON3 (I'm sure he's extremely busy) and I don't want to pester him so if anyone else out there can help, I certainly appreciate it. Here is my theory for the solution based on further reading of these forums (but since I have no technical training I don't know if I am even on the right track). I'd appreciate if anyone with the proper knowledge can confirm or reject this course of action:

1. Stop ActiveSync, by Task Manager (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete)

kill two processes rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe

2. put your device into the cradle

3. Run mtty and Choose WCEUSBSH001 in 'PORT' (if it doesn't show then you didn't stop all active sync processes above!)

4. type "set 16 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset. (for some devices it can also be "set 14 0")

5. type "task 8" to get your device formatted

6. type "task 0" to ask your device reboot

7. take the device out of the cradle, and manually reset it if it does not do that already.

(taken from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=394543&highlight=stuck+bootloader)

redbandana cautions that one must use HardSPL or risk bricking the device. However, in the post about SPL Questions it states:

"Well, at the moment this is where we are at. We are still investigating the full effects of what an SPL can do to vary the performance of an OS. For now there is a large consensus that the newer HTC 6.1 ROM SPL seems to work well for most of the newer 6.1 ROMS (stock and cooked)."

So my question is, will the stock SPL that came with the official HTC 6.1 ROM be ok to use mtty, or do I need to flash the old HardSPL?

I appreciate any advice on how to proceed, especially if I am totally wrong about how to fix this. Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redbandana:
mtty is not a toy and there are some risks of bricking involved. Anyhow, it is a tool that is used for situations similar to yours. Follow the steps that are provided. Step 3 may be different for different pc's, so just look for port 1. After you run mtty, install a version of hard spl. If you plan on installing a 6.1 rom, install a spl that is compatible with it such as, 3.28hard, 3.29, or the new 3.56. I'll be around for an hour feel free to pm me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GSLEON3:
Sorry mate, usually takes me a day to catch up with my PM's, etc...

I can't say for sure on the 3.28 SPL as I have not disassembled it. Well, technically I did, just to prove a point that it was the same as 3.29, but I didn't document any of the commands.

The 3.28 HardSPL is NOT an MFG spl, so it definitely WON'T support some functions. I don't know what all the fuss is about SPL's. I use my own customized version, based of course on Jocky's work, but it's still a 1.1 SPL version & I never have any trouble.

For the 3.28 & .29 SPL's, I do know that if you are stuck because of an RUUNBH error, the correct sequence is:

cmd>set 16 0

cmd>task 8

Task 8 is not "format", I don't know where you got that & task 0 will freeze out MTTY.

Have you done an info 8 command?

cmd>info 8

That will tell you more about the issue.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, only connect mtty to USB, not to port. You can mess other things up like external drives, etc. Ports are only when connecting to OEMSBL/Radio Boot Loader.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GSLEON3:
BTW, a screwed up USB port pin or block can cause this issue as well. Take a look at the pin block, is it perfectly straight?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sir topas:
Ok, here's the weird thing. I was going to try the mtty to do info 8 command, and I powered on the device (it had the SIM card and microSD card removed.) The device started up and performed a hard reset, and then loaded up! It had a ROM on it! Not the original factory ROM that was loaded (which had TomTom preloaded) but the factory ROM I downloaded from the HTC e-club that I tried to flash. I thought my issue was solved, so I put in the SIM card. However, when I turned on the device (with SIM card in) I get the bootloader screen. What the heck is going on?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sir topas:
Yes, it is straight.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sir topas:
Hi everyone,

Thanks for trying to help me. It's all a bit too confusing for me so I just decided to bite the bullet and send it into HTC. Thanks again!
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] shiboby:
I recently upgraded from 9.0.0.179 to 9.1.0.210, and now my fingerprint reader almost never wakes up and unlocks the phone instantaneously like it used to. If the phone has been in sleep for atleast a couple hours, it doesn't work. I have to first turn on the screen with the hardware buttons. If the phone was recently used, just putting my finger/thumb on the reader can wake and unlock the phone, but it takes 4-5 seconds of pressing the print on the reader to have the screen turn on. The screen only instantaneously wakes up and unlocks if the phone was used in the past few minutes.

Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it?
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] shiboby:
Just an update in case anyone else experiences this in the future: I have found that if I tap the fingerprint scanner a few times, it will wake up the phone faster and even if in deep sleep.

Hi everybody. Actually I own a Realme X2 Pro. In this phone sometimes developer options deactivate by themselves or reset their settings. I know this is a thing to discuss in Realme forum, but this is related to my question.

Since many years I tried to make developer options settings stuck, without the need to set them again after every reboot. Seems that until now it was impossible.

Is there a way to do it, now that Android is on version 9/10? Or is it still impossible?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] aldhubaib33:
hi

well i think the most thing that consume power in htc diamond is the scroll wheel light. Because there is i light for each event such as missed call, new massages ... etc. Therefore, turning them off well reduce the battery waste which is a problem with diamond. Anyone know how to registry tweak it ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sumitescp:
You should have asked this question on the tweaks THREAD instead of creating a NEW ONE.

I think that the wheel light consumes very little power. Not too sure but the light doesnt seem to be the issue for battery drain.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] TML1504:
I also think that the turn wheel consumes nearly zero power

in comparison to the chipset, backlight, radio, gps, etc. ...
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] DavidRJ:
Hi guys,

can anybody here report back if there's a well working ROM that supports Android Auto perfectly? I don't mean the app itself, that should work on every ROM. But the connection to a car's infotainment and the external screen functionality.

I was using MIUI (xiaomi.eu in particular) for most of the time now, and with the recent versions, Android Auto started having serious issues. Car screen freezing, phone locking up completely and such things. Disabling HW overlays and not using AOD helps, but some issues remain.

I thought I'd give some AOSP ROMs a try (I want to go AOSP anyways, just stuck with MIUI until there were some stable ROMs to choose from). Sadly, none of the two AOSP ROMs (Pixel Experience and DerpFest) I've tried works flawlessly with Android Auto -> Similar issues of the phone locking up. Is this a general problem?

If not, could somebody recommend me a ROM that works perfectly with Android Auto?

Thanks in advance!

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] DavidRJ:
That's good to know, thanks for reporting in. I'd prefer an AOSP ROM if I am honest, but if there is no other way, I'll definitely go xiaomi.eu stable.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] DavidRJ:
Just to report back on this question, I have tried a few more ROMs and I am going with Syberia. Although it's not on Android Q yet, it works perfectly and I have not yet encountered any bugs. Android Auto works flawlessly.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] txenglan:
Glad you found one that works. I'm in the same boat. I've asked about this and over XDA, other forums and I just get ignored. I'm running an Umidigi F1 Play and can't find a single AOSP-based ROM that works with Android Auto on this phone. Stock works fine but I don't want to be a year behind in security updates just do I can run Android Auto. Currently running Lineage 17 on this phone and have been waiting for months for a fix to this issue.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] DavidRJ:
Quick update, Paranoid Android Quartz Alpha 2 is on Android 10 and works fine!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] txenglan:
There's no GSI though right? On the Umidigi, there are no custom ROMs. GSI is my only option.

I used to record calls normally using any " call recorder" app on the playstore before i upgrade to EMUI 10

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] NotATreoFan:
Wine is an emulator that allows Windows apps to run under Linux.

As far as flashing goes, I remember seeing a few other threads around asking this question, and the general consensus was no.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] itarix:
Wine IS Not a Emulator ;)

as far as I know wine does not work for drivers so the activesync serial driver will mostlikly not work...

you can alternatively find a windows pc to flash hard spl and then use the sd card flash method for any further rom flashing.

Well, ROM flashing from a SD Card would be OK. The problem arises when you need to flash an SPL or the like. It's been reported that flashing an SPL from SD is possible, just not recommended.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] bigjohnman:
I have a few smart devices in my house. I am a HUGE LG fan, as I have used LG phones for my last 4 phones. Currently using an LG V20.

I have an LG Washer / Dryer as well as a refrigerator. All three of these items have smart capabilities which are controlled through the LG Thinq app.

I can no longer use my LG Thinq app.

I need help figuring out how this app is testing my phone for Root access, so that I can block their ability to test.

This would help Magisk's hide capabilities for the future as well.

I made a video of this happening on my phone:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1G7MoE4uzqlkEf7pIRo2yc1lMkWYhKXfe

Any help in figuring this out would REALLY help!!! Thanks

I don't really know where to begin. Is there something that I can do with ADB where I monitor the device's processes & do a pid dump to see how the LG Thinq app is acting?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] cnjax:
This is off topic for this forum and should be directed to the magisk support thread
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] kaluna00:
Use magisk hide for those apps that wont run with root.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ozkaya:
You can't do it like that, ADB gives you only what the app wants to give you in this case. I looked into the app and it checks rooted status by a native library. It would be possible to patch the app and make it run but then all updates are to be patched too. So it is better to post in Magisk forum as cnjax said. Or just use an older version and don't update.

I first had the same issue without having a rooted device/no magisk installed. Just a custom rom on my device (LineageOS). The app claimed the phone is rooted.

It still doesn't work. Cleared Cache, reinstalled the app, restarted the phone etc. Nothing worked.

Last hope was the older version of the app but even this one wouldn't open. Any help there?
