Mmm, I don't need dumber Verizon hot spots, I need a smarter one!

It's too bad that the NetGear NightHawk M1 and M6 don't have the Verizon bands.

Figured out a few things about my RC400L. First, to enable ADB, send a USB control message of type LIBUSB_REQUEST_TYPE_VENDOR, request 0xa0, a value of 0, and no data. The device will now reboot. adb is now enabled, but rndis has been disabled (regardless of what you set USB tethering to). However, it's also exposed the DIAG and AT endpoints, so if you have drivers installed for that you can just connect to the AT port and send AT+SER=9,1 which will switch to a mode that exposes adb, diag, at, and rndis. adb is running as an unprivileged user, but if you connect over the AT interface you can also run AT+SYSCMD= with a Linux command after the equals sign, and it'll run that as root. I was hoping to find a way to reboot into fastboot via software but haven't had any luck on that so far, so I guess I'll have to crack the case open.
[General Topics] mjg59:
Unfortunately it's not possible to configure the Orbic to just boot when plugged into USB - it's actually booting Linux, but simply displaying a charging screen instead of enabling USB or starting the modem stack. This is controlled by the "androidboot.poweronreason=" parameter that's passed on the kernel command line, and several different components parse this. The easiest solution I've found is to dump the bootloader (it's /dev/mtdblock7) and search for the byte sequence "03 02 00 0a 20" and replace the 20 with ff. 20 is the value read from the power management controller that indicates the device powered up because it was plugged into USB - replacing that with ff means the bootloader no longer understands that, and falls back to describing it as a hard reset. This value is interpreted as a legitimate bootup and everything works.

Any chance at getting some 5000 foot guide/direction on how to do this? I haven't messed with ADB in the last 10 or so years :D . I would love to get my RC400L setup to auto start from a powered off state when the USB power is connected. My use case is a rpi running a remote weather station and camera that posts to twitter every 5 minutes. I have access to the setup, but it's a 15 minute drive each way!

[General Topics] mjg59:
Ok, this is extremely at your own risk - I've attached a zip file with a couple of files.

Download https://www.verizon.com/support/verizon-orbic-speed-mobile-hotspot-update-instructions/ and install it.

Unzip this zip file into the update app directory

Download https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html .

Plug in your hotspot

Run the update app. Hit start. Wait until you hear the Windows device disconnected sound and unplug your hotspot. Quit the update app.

Plug your hotspot back in. Device Manager should now show a bunch of com ports that weren't there before.

Open a command prompt and go to the update app directory. Run adb push orbic/* /tmp

Run Putty and tell it to make a serial connection. Choose the COM port that Device Manager has listed with AT in the name.

Type AT. You should get back an "OK" response. Type AT+SYSCMD=cp /tmp/sshell /sbin

Type AT+SYSCMD=chown root /sbin/sshell

Type AT+SYSCMD=chmod 4755 /sbin/sshell

Go back to the command prompt and run adb shell

Type sshell

This is the dangerous part. If you want to modify your existing bootloader, run dd if=/dev/mtdblock7 of=/tmp/aboot and then use adb pull to copy it back to your computer. Modify it as described above, and then use adb push to copy it back into /tmp on the hotspot. If you're willing to risk bricking your device if the bootloader is somehow incompatible, you can just use the copy that was in the zip file.

adb shell back into the device and run sshell again. Run dd if=/tmp/aboot of=/dev/mtdblock7 oflags=sync . The patched bootloader is now installed. Run reboot.

It's probably fine to just use the bootloader I've included, but it does seem to vary between firmware releases, so if you feel up to patching it yourself then I'd recommend that (make sure that your bootloader only contains one copy of the byte sequence I mention - if there's more then let me know and I'll figure out where the patch needs to go.

Awesome, thanks! What could possibly go wrong!!!!! :D

Some of the steps are just a touch off on syntax, but it all worked successfully with my edit of aboot locally on my Windows machine via the HxD app.

Does the battery bypass file work to allow the RC400L to boot without the battery installed? If so, is the file specific to the RC400L?
[General Topics] mjg59:
Oh, please let me know what I screwed up and I'll fix it in case anyone else follows this! But no, as far as I can tell if the battery is missing the code changes behaviour at an earlier point, and I haven't looked into that (or whether it's even possible for it - some devices insist on the battery because they may instantaneously draw more power than is provided over USB and rely on the battery to make up for it). But this specific patch is very specific to the RC400L bootloader, and the entire process would probably need to be modified for other devices.
[General Topics] Renate:
B13 at 750 MHz is very important when you're in the sticks.

In contrast, 5G is something that will never make any difference to me.

(A bit off-topic)

I'm currently running PtMP (microwave) internet off a Ubiquiti LTU Mini and a separate router/WiFi.

I'd like to be able to seasonally switch over to a 4G LTE modem with only wired ethernet.

So I don't want a modem with anything (no NAT, no WiFi), only a RJ45.

I see the NetGear LM1200. Is this any good? That 5G is useful to at least discount the 4G equipment.

Also, this is a battery-less device.

I never liked the MiFi 8800L. I found that when the LTE reception was flailing it would disrupt the regular connection between local devices on the WiFi.
[General Topics] chimchim54321:
step 7 - my win10 PC didn't care for the orbic/* portion. Either use just "orbic" or use orbic/sshell (unteseted but would likely work)

second half of step 9, the path is wrong and strangely the terminal responds back with OK. The path should be /tmp/orbic/sshell

I think that was it for the issues I had. At least with the directions :) The adb pull put the file in a weird AppData path location, and perhaps a fully qualified path for the target of the pull would be advisable.

My old modem would often sort of flip out and require a power cycle to get back to normal. I built a relay module that could be operated by one of the gpio pins on the Rpi, and it would cut the external power as well as the internal battery. Was much easier as the internal battery had wires and a plug that I could splice into. For this modem I think I'm going to have to design and print a battery adapter that will allow me to put a set of relay contacts between the battery tabs and the modem battery buttons.

wondering if it has uart testpoints, and if so, please send a pinout :)
[General Topics] rich hathaway:
Yes the lower end of the spectrum is better for penetrating buidings and such, but if you have a tower (line-of-site) or maybe not to far and not to obstructed b13 is not needed to get good service, I have a tower at about 8miles not line of site and b66 works fine for me here on an m1

I have not had that device before so I am not familiar with it and not sure what it costs but the m2000 is a fine device and can run without a battery with a simple mod, no rj45 coming out but the usb-C can be cheaply adapted over to rj45, and this device can be bought for cheap (35 bucks) on ebay if you look around there are many for 50 bucks out there.

if you need help pulling in signal in your location the FW2000 is an excellent device, its expensive but I can tell you I am using one now and it is a beast with built in high power antennas it really pulls the signal in and is battery - less
[General Topics] Renate:
It had better be. It's ~$1500!

The NetGear LM1200 is selling on Amazon for $100 (discounted from $150).
[General Topics] mjg59:
There's a bunch of testpoints (including the described ones that allow entering fastboot or EDL mode), but I'm afraid I haven't tried to ID UART.
[General Topics] rich hathaway:
If I remember right on this one you can hold power and plug the usb in and keep holding power for about 5 seconds for emergency mode.
[General Topics] mjg59:
Ok, it's possible to get the bootloader to ignore a missing battery, but part way through boot it resets itself. Unclear whether this is due to trying to draw too much power or if there's a watchdog process to reset when the battery is pulled (the same happens if you pull the battery out of the running device).
[General Topics] rauleeros:
This worked like a charm.

Thank you!!

My firmware was different, but I was able to adb pull it, patch it and adb push it.

Edit 1/17:

I have just noticed that with the cold weather now in the winter, the battery does not want to start. I'm assuming it's a safety feature when the temperature drops to around 0°C and it just stays in a boot loop with this change (until the temperature increases). I wish we could modify the firmware to bypass the battery check completely and use it without it, but it's what it is.
[General Topics] mjg59:
That makes a lot of sense! My router fell offline after a power outage in December and didn't come back (I wasn't able to get out there to check on it), and then suddenly came back online after another outage. Temperature could well be a factor there. I just got another test device, so I'll drop that in the freezer and see what happens…

[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. M. Knight:
Good day !

this guide assumes you have • Downloaded the Repartitioning tool

after following the repartitioning tutorial your phone will have an empty system and vendor partition so follow this tutorial to fix that

In this tutorial I will explain how to flash generic system images based on android 9,10 & 11.

To boot GSI first we all need stable vendor image and boot image with good Stable kernel.

Whenever these both get's stabilized then we can expect 85% of the GSI with good stability. We all know that most of the device specific stuff locates in vendor image so yeah if we have stabilized vendor image and boot image then we are good to go for flashing generic system images.

Installation procedure

==============

• For Android 10 GSI, I choose Lineage 17.1 as base for vendor.img and boot.img

• For Android 11 GSI, I choose Lineage 18.1 as base for vendor.img and boot.img

1. Unlock your bootloader

2. Connect phone to pc

3. Enable developer options

4. Enable usb debugging

5. Type adb devices

6. Type adb reboot bootloader

7. Type fastboot devices && fastboot -w

8. Type fastboot boot twrp.img

9. Copy GSI , vendor.img and boot.img to internal storage

10. Select install & select install image

11. Select GSI.img ( Whatever GSI as your wish ) select system image and swipe to flash

12. Select vendor.img ( According to GSI android version ) select vendor image and swipe to flash

13. Select boot.img ( According to GSI android version ) select boot and swipe to flash

• Download A11 vendor & boot image

• Download A10 vendor & boot image

Thank you !!

[Moto G9 Plus Questions & Answers] Sam2187:
Hi.

I've been using overscan through ADB to completely remove the status bar and navbar for a while as I don't want any unnecessary clutter on the screen and want to maximise the space I actually use, and yesterday when android 11 was finally rolled out I found out overscan's been removed.

I was wondering whether there is a way on android 11 to completely remove both while also having the current app fill the entire screen, punchhole included (no black bars or otherwise unused space); I tried using "fullscreen: the one immersive mode" but the bars still come back from time to time like when I go into the recents menu, and it doesn't solve the unused space issue either. Therefore, any solution relating to "immersive mode" likely won't work.

I use nova launcher which also hasn't been working since the update, Fluid Navigation Gestures (FNG) which is way better than the default gestures but now can't hide anything as it tries to use overscan.

Apart from this, the new update is neat; just to clarify, I want to get rid of the navbar and status bar with no unused space left over on either edge. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I'll probably end up having to root, I don't know where to start there though so I'd rather not.

Hey,​

Are you wanna try Android 11 with MIUI with the latest security patch?

So, it is for you.

This is a ported Xiaomi.EU ROM from Redmi 9T with latest patches from Xiaomi.EU

Disclaimer​

Do everything at your own risk. I am not responsible for your dead or bricked device!

Bugs​

SystemUI sometimes restarts due to new notifications is come. (Sometimes)

Fingerprint works but if you touch the fingerprint sensor in a sleep state, the device is not wake up but fingerprint works when the device is awake.

Stock camera app crashes while saving a photo from the back sensor, but if you choose to pro mode no crash, and also if you are shot by the front camera no crashes.

​

Optimization​

DT2W works

Better gaming performance

More RAM available.

Memory extension feature

All MIUI 12.6 Feature

I have well tested this port and have found these above bugs. I recommend never flash any custom kernel as this may cause instability.

How to flash?​

Reboot to recovery by holding the power + volume up button

Format data partition

wipe metadata partition if you get any flashing error like error 7

Choose this ROM zip file and finally flash... It may take some time to complete.

Reboot to System... The first boot may take 10-20 minutes so don't be panic wait patiently.

Enjoy!

[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
Thanks to Jabe for pointing out this review, which is probably the very first Xperia review - i.e. the very first review of the final Xperia device.

Link: http://www.jouwmobiel.com/review/view/05-10-2008/Sony+Ericsson+X1

(You will need to translate using Google Translators...)

The biggest concern of theirs was ease-of-use. According to them, using your fingers is hard when you start going into inner menus/windows... Furthermore, the default panels are great but lacking in functionality but hopefully new panels will come with more functionality and appeal.

Note: There is speculation that this is also a prototype model's review, and we can't confirm as the reviewer does not state it to be the final set and neither are specs, etc. detailed. Hopefully we'll see more reviews come out in the next day or so.
[XPERIA X1 General] Black93300ZX:
That keyboard review kinda disappointed me, I was hoping it would feel as good (if not better with bigger keys) than the Touch Pro but just have less functionality... Turns out, according to that review, it feels worse AND has less functionality. :(
[XPERIA X1 General] NZtechfreak:
I expected the keyboard review to be just like that.

Regarding the reviewer - its MR from Mobile-Review. I've asked him over there to clarify whether the review is a final retail unit.
[XPERIA X1 General] respider:
not totally happy with the review, of course...

I would like pictures in low light conditions too to see how flash works...

The major problem in my opinion is the tiny text size, thats really sad.

Is it smaller than the diamond for exemple? Because diamond is VGA @ 2.8" and Xperia is WVGA in 3", maybe not that different? I'm used with diamond fonts.
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
We knew from the beginning that it wouldn't beat Touch Pro's keyboard... HTC did an awesome job with that one.
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
Cool. Please let us know when he responds.
[XPERIA X1 General] Black93300ZX:
Well, I knew it wouldn't perform like the TP's keyboard (5 row to 4 row obviously) but I figured with the bigger buttons it would feel good to type on.
[XPERIA X1 General] NZtechfreak:
In the review he basically said the keyboard was fine, just not the best out there. My impression is that the keyboard is adequate, though not ideal.
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
Definitely... and though also goes on to say that it is hard to find keys at times and so on, but once you get used to it, it won't be any hassle. It won't match up to Touch Pro's keyboard, but i think it would be pretty good.
[XPERIA X1 General] Black93300ZX:
"Regrettably, the flat keys. You are constantly with your nails looking for the edges of the keys. Walloons fl on the keyboard is more common than you think. You look regularly to the keyboard to determine where your next button is located. The space between the keys X1 is not sufficient in helping you find the keys. The pressure response is also lower than the Touch Pro. As you have not always good or key is pressed. Touch Pro also has more slope in the keys so you better know where you should be. The number of features that you can reach via the keyboard is less than the Pro. The X1 has no directional buttons and no direct keys for SMS, MMS, or mail. If you or CAPS FN enable you see this on the screen and not through two lights just above the keyboard."

That doesn't sound "fine" to me, that sounds ****ty if you always have to look at the keyboard to know where the next key is.
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
with time and practice, we'll know. ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] NZtechfreak:
" The keyboard is good, but we have seen better."

Thats after all the criticisms, so sounds like a final summation to me, and hence why it seems adequate.
[XPERIA X1 General] NZtechfreak:
A few vids from MR with the panels in action

Looks fine, too bad the panels are nothing to write home about at the present time. Looks like we'll all be using Manilla on this thing for the foreseeable future...
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
Thanks... hopefully we'll see more vidz soon.

Did he confirm if this is a prototype version or a final one?

I agree, the default panels are pretty basic - if you ask me - but given Xperia's hardware and the Panel SDK, there is a lot of potential over here. (thus why i am in favor of Panels over TF3D)
[XPERIA X1 General] NZtechfreak:
He has confirmed it was the final release.

Agreed on the panels front, but for now its clearly inferior to running Manilla on this phone.
