Alcohol is come out almost or more than 15 years ago!

Poor levels of knowledge. You can't produce file from md5 hash thats not possible! Its possible bruteforcing something small but nobody use md5 for that purpose. Mdf is something diferent than md5.

Do you realy think why would there be compression algorithms in archivers, audio files, video files... etc if you think it can be done with a hash? You messed something. Hashes is something diferent! I can suggest you to read this -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function

boot.img or boot-debug.img IS NOT bootloader.

This topic is bragging and nothing else.

[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Questions & Answers] antizack:
Hi everyone. Need some help.

How can i unbrick my ZenFone Max Pro M2 (ZB631KL)

Issues - after programm stuck, phone was restarted, and then - Black screen, zero reaction. No indication.

PC show's - qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008.

I tried QFIL with [firmware27]ZQL1820_Factory_201812071630_ChangeFlash.zip

But failed. Always one of two errors

1. sahara_rx_data:276:Unable to read packet header. Only read 0 bytes

2. Download Fail:FireHose Fail:FHLoader Fail: File dosn't exist.

What i can do without hardware flash ?

Thank for answers!
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Questions & Answers] antizack:
Closed. I done it. Phone is alive
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Questions & Answers] Laddi_Barana:
How did u do that..can u pls tell me
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Questions & Answers] NoobNotMaster69:
Pls share your knowledge to us master :[
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Questions & Answers] antizack:
1. Use QPST. QFIL without QPST will not work. U'll get error (File not found or file not exist)

2. Use QPST v 2.7.495

With 2.7.496 i was getting error - 0 bytes readed

3. Important. Use windows 7. I don't know why - a wasn't able to flash on win 10 with USB 2.0 port or usb-hub.
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Questions & Answers] NoobNotMaster69:
I currently have Win 8.1, I think I'll try with that, if it doesn't work, I can always make a new partition and install win 7 there. Anyway I have never heard of QPST and QFIL, so I'll do some researches on that.

Thank you for your time, we really appreciate. I'll let you know if I manage to unbrick my device.
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Questions & Answers] antizack:
Be careful. When u'll flash, don't forget to check couple times all settings in QFIL.

I'm talking about xml files.
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Questions & Answers] NoobNotMaster69:
I don't understand where I have to get the files I need. I saw I need the firmware, I guess, but I don't understand what's up with the XML file. Where did you get them? Sorry if I'm disturbing you again.
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Questions & Answers] TanderaFF:
Hello colleague, I also have the same problem, I tried some programs, but they didn't work, but I still haven't tried this QPST_2.7.495, but I need the flash, because I deleted the ones I had here. if you found it, give me the link.
[General Topics] uschipower:
Hello,

i have to root my S8 pro now because the whole internal memory is nearly used by apps and system.

Is there a opportunity to root my device without unlocking bootloader?

I found magisk to modify the boot-partition and for example getting root on the device.

But you have to unlock the bootloader to flash the new boot-partition. I also read that unlocking bootloader always means that the whole device is resetted to factory-defaults which means losing all installed apps.

I have about 50 !! banking apps for generating TANs. For these apps, it's not enough to reinstall the app. You also need to reconnect the app (especially the device) to the banking account.

I think the only way to backup the the configured and connected app is to have root on the device, right?

My plan was to root the device without unlocking bootloader, then make a full-backup, unlock bootloader which resetting the deivce, and restore the full-backup.

After this, I un-root my device because the banking-apps check if a device is rooted. My plan is t re-roote the device using magisk only when needed and when no banking app is used, and then un-root it again.

Any idea how to solve my problem?

Regards

UP

Root requires unlocked bootloader.Nice plan but it won't work.

Really?

unlocked bootloader ist neccessary all the time while device is rooted, not only when flashing?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
This small tool was originally inspired by this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=432966

About

WMRegOptimizer is a small tool that tries to optimize registry access - "defrag" it, if you will. It doesn't perfectly defrag it, but it goes a long way. This results in somewhat faster registry access for applications where this is the bottle-neck.

So this speeds up my device?

Not really. It lowers latency for certain system calls, which may result in some things being a bit faster. It doesn't magically make your device faster, but it may be more responsive in some situations.

Instructions

Install the attached CAB on your device, and run WMRegOptimizer from your start menu.

Before pressing Go, make sure you do the following things:

- Close all running applications

- Uncradle the device

- Put the device in airplane mode

- Be sure your battery isn't on the low side

After the app says it's done, close it, and soft-reset your device.

The app may appear to freeze at times. Do not soft-reset or terminate the app. It will continue. The entire process may take up to 5 minutes.

Things going wrong is unlikely but by no means impossible, we want to minimize that chance. We do this by making sure as few apps and services as possible are using the registry. Mucking about with the registry is a dangerous thing, and if things do go wrong, often a hard-reset is needed to put things right again.

Why soft-reset

Some apps 'monitor' the registry, these will be informed of the changes. This is why you may for example get a QuickGPS popup or your backlight will go to full-power all of a sudden when the app is running. Soft-resetting makes these apps reread the correct data from the registry. The whole operation also messes with the registry a LOT, and this slows down the device as well (probably a bug or memory/handle leak in registry handling somewhere in WM). Again, soft-resetting clears this up.

Testing

This tool has been tested on my Raphael (Touch Pro), Diamond and Kaiser (TyTN II), and seems to work fine. Your milage may vary. The interface isn't much, but hey, it's about what it does :)

PROVIDED "AS-IS". USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE.

DO NOT USE THIS APPLICATION ON A STOCK ROM, YOU

WILL

BE SORRY. Custom ROMs usually have the right registry permissions/policies to do this, but if not, there's a bigger chance things may go wrong.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AllTheWay:
Chainfire you are amazing. Thank you for all your valuable contributions!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ralpheboyo:

...will give this a swirl and report back...thanks for the creation!....am i correct in thinking that sktools has a similar feature with reg optimizer...

Cool for Diamond

Hi Chainfire, thanks for the tool. I've just run it on my Diamond and everything still works I'm happy to say. I can't notice any immediate difference but then I didn't expect too, any way seems to be a good app. with no diamond issues, Thanks again. :)

So would you recommend running this regularly, I seem to install and un-install stuff all day long, so is this reg. defrag going to help keep my phone in slick order?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dyetheskin:
no good with my tilt,when i soft reset as said to do when it was finished it reset but got stuck on bootscreen
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rexypow:
yes! its works!

thank you very much for your great program! I installed it on my Gene P3400 (lomlom's 20755 rom with manila2d), it definitely response quickly when try to go to setting - system, it is also have improvement when I try to make a call, it is much more faster when I try to send a sms from my contact list, strongly recommended to all Gene P3400 user!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] boggsie:
Seemed to work fine.

The only issue that I had is the completion percentage never exceeded 80% even though the text eventually updated to Complete or whatever the done message happens to be.

Best regards,

-boggsie
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Not really. It may help, but it's unclear how fast this whole registry muck-up is, it really depends on your usage of the device. I'd say once a month would be more than adequite for even a heavy user. Unless you notice your device is getting slower and slower, then give it a shot.

Or in short: who knows :D

That probably means that at 80% it got to a registry key it was not able to manipulate and aborted the operation (note that 99% of the time it will abort in such a case before it 'damages' your setup). Not to worry though, at 80%, you've had pretty much all the registry keys who 'fragment' a lot and cause the slowdowns.

I'll add some code in the next version that just skips the relevant key or gives you an actual error message or whatever :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] monamibouli:
I don't see any change for the moment, but thks you for your job
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zocster:
thanks for this, trialing it out and will report soon, done it and it seems to have improved, any improvement is good improvement for a device this old, until I get my touch 3G!

Cheers!!

Edit it seems to be good for the hermes, the only downside if it is a downside is that it removed my wallpaper, which I can re set by going to the today screen config anyway. But everything seems swell. SPB mobile shell 2.1 crashes less with this, normally it would crash for me once in a day after heavy use. Hasn't yet touch wood.

So ... all in all, I think follow the instructions good for the hermes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] imfloflo:
Thanks, i install and run it on my POlaris with the RTM from M-amine.

See any change for the moment, i just lost my register manila weather city and my manila favorite contact after rebooting.

(that's not important :) i'll add them again)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poboxfor:
I have just installed and run on my TP. No problem :)

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hklcf:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] randomelements:
Worked okay on my Nike. Got stuck at 93% for ages but went through eventually.

Will have to see how things go. If I don't detect any speed increase at least I know things are a bit tidier ;) Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lastnikita:
hi chainfire, just to let you know that on my samsung omnia, it went to 100% fine.

once exited, the power button stopped reacting (ie no suspend)

I then tried to shut the device down, but once windows was unloaded the backlight stayed on, I had to remove the battery.

Anyway, it worked fine after reboot :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hkkenchoi:
it works, thx for the great work!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] keinenplandavon:
I second that! Thanks!

By the way: I backuped the whole phone, softresetted, closed ActiveSync and went into airplane mode before running, I ran the tool, while getting towards 97% my QuickGPS said (i forgot the error message, the ephemeridia data was expired). Clicked OK (99% process in BG, HKLM\Security) as fast as I could but the device was stuck on today screen. None of the buttons worked.

Soft reset, next boot was a bit slower (maybe just felt slower 'cos I looked all the way onto the display hoping nothing went wrong)

So nothing went wrong until now, I ran the tool again. This time it was (i stopped) faster, no QuickGPS-Message (still valid though) and this time device is working normal without reboot - rebooted anyhow 'cos the keyboard-backlight just flickered at keypress.

yeah. works like a charm. SIP opens faster than ever. Thanks!

(well, would be interesting if SKTools Registry Defrag makes something similar or maybe they could work hand-in-hand to get even more defragmented results?)

Maybe it just feels faster

edit: HTC TyTN II german stock rom WM6.1. Going to try this on the Touch Pro from a friend of mine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wanwarlock:
after running this on my prophet, my backlight/timeout timer changed to 10sec. no problem. do see a bit of performance increase.

thanks for this
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HRQ.SLV:
Chainfire you are great!

Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zocster:
Just FYI

This is best to run after a fresh flash of a ROM, load your apps, run sk tools, then run this, soft reset, and it definitely gave me huge improvement! Thanks again.

Hi, did you try on the Touch Pro? Is it working fine?

Will you continue dev on this app ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fusi:
used this on my kaiser ages ago and it worked brilliantly - ive now got a raph and i figured i might give it a whirl on this device too.

anyway, while it was doing something with HKCU/Software at 94% i got the following error message:

Runtime error 202 at
$03F99CF0
$03F99CF0

the phone seems fine, cant see anything broken as a result (im guessing its mostly app settings and junk in HKCU/Software - stuff that isnt critially critical right?), so im more wondering what the error means and why it might have occurred. maybe it was a certain key that was in use and regoptimiser couldnt move/rename/do whatever it does as a result.

anyone got some input? maybe had the same error message or different?

(btw im using a custom rom (i know :p) - nrg rom 23016 [2k9.08.11])

Now I get all notification etc on my watch normally but calls are not forwarded... Is there any way to achieve this?

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] goodwin_c:
Configure just normal call forwarding from your main phone number to the secondary. And you should have calls enabled on your eSim, not only internet.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] CrazyCypher:
Well I only have data plan on my watch so I am looking for solution that calls are forwarded via mobile data. And when I call from the watch the call should be going bia mobile data to the phone which would then make a call.

Thank you any help appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] goodwin_c:
I don't think this is possible at all. Only through Bluetooth, or on highly customized smartphone ROM (like Samsung is using on their phones to achieve such functionality over Wi-Fi). And for sure - no - on any stock ROM.
