[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Hi Dheeraj!

Buddy, if the lomlom's ROM is working for that much great for you, you have no reason to flash this. In my case, it was not. I got only 16-19 MB free without running any app whatsoever, in the case of lomlom's. Plus there were icons missing in Settings tab, and small inconsistensies here and there. Moreover since i tinker around with my phone a lot currently, accessing the \Windows folder is a routine task for me, and with lomlom's ROM i was having a lot of problem with that. Talking about Manilla 2D, ya it looks fancy but after a week of use, i found that its not that usable with me, personally. For me the charm of it was over.

And apart from all this, I always wanted a ROM that works like stock WM 6 ROM of HTC, in short, gives the "Original" look to my phone but still provides me with all the features of WM 6.1. I dont know why but i dont like it when the original OS is crippled in anyway. In this ROM, nothing is missing from the original WM 6.1 installation as described on the feature comparison page for Windows Mobile on Microsoft website.

So in short, its a matter of personal tastes. Our needs are a bit different and so are our ROMS :) I guess if you dont feel any problem with lomlom's then stick with it. Its a great ROM too and i and other members have solved almost all problems that happen with it after first time boot, so someone should use the result of those efforts too :)

When i came to this forum, i found that GENE users and specially those with NEW GENE were just crying around with SPL problems and nothing was there as a choice for them in terms of ROM availability. Thats why i decided to do whatever efforts i can to make things better for this part of the forum, ie. The GENE section. Now, i am not a social worker, but i feel for people whom problems i can sense becuase i also have them :)

Thanks for your complements :)

Help !!!!!

hi guys ...i have a new gene (s/n ht8xxx) can any one tell me the steps to update my old wm5 to the new one step by step ...... please .....:)
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Buddy, the way is completly described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2953612&postcount=2

Not to offend you or anything, please try to search before posting. Many of the custom ROM flashing problems with P3400 and P3400i have been already solved. Just a suggestion, Ok buddy.

And ya, although that tutorial references the lomlom's fusion ROM, you can use the ROM described in this thread too if you want to. The procedure is same, only use this ROM in place of fusion one.

[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] GamerBoyh12:
So I had this Redmi 4x with me since 2018 (from China, so it got the Chinese ROM) and just today I had to factory reset it to use it as my secondary device (mind you, this hadn't been used much apart from a family member for some time). So it did have a mi account I made in it around 2018 which was linked to a phone number I no longer have access too. It asked me for the password while resetting which I didn't remember as well so my smartarse thought it would be a good idea to go into recovery mode and reset it from there. Now it asks for the pin it sent on that recovery phone number but I don't have it. I even tried going to xiaomi's website and recover it but after giving it all the details it told me I'll be contacted within the next 3 days. But I received a rejection email within 5 mins. Twice.

Anyways now I've been scrathing my head and trying everything I could for 5+ hours and finally after making about no progress I've came over here. I just want this phone to power on and work like it used to. Any help please?
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Gosuzeldris.z:
Hi, can someone guide me how to unlock my bootloader? And also, how would I know if my phone is cn or global
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] parrots_:
Typically, to unlock the bootloader, here's the process.

1. Unlock developer mode (go to about phone, and press build number 7 times in a row)

2. Enter developer mode, and try to find OEM unlocking, and enable it.

3. From here it often varies, but you could perhaps try booting into download mode, since that might say something of assistance.

However, it won't always work, as it often varies between phones. There's probably tutorials for your phone, or you could use ADB to unlock it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flick_EVS:
I have spend 2 days trying to recover my Whatsapp history and I think that I have come to the last resort solution. However, since I have no experience with mobile phones whatsoever, it seems a good idea to pitch my (hopefully last) attempt.

The situation is as follows:

I had a conversation with going with someone from which I deleted messages every now and then. I wanted to try and recover as much as possible from this conversation and thus reinstalled Whatsapp to use its latest backup. Unfortunately, Whatsapp glitched and I ended up with empty chats and no backup that was reinstalled.

- I made daily backups an so I do have Google Drive backup but this seems to be corrupted (see picture)

- The backups where also stored to the local internal storage but when searching for the database folder, only the msgstore file is found from after reinstallation of Whatsapp, so a backup of the empty threads... (msgstore.db.crypt14 and msgstore-2023-08-06.1.db.crypt14)

After searching and reading the entire internet, it seems that I might be able to retrieve the msgstore files from before, as they should have been on my internal storage at some point but somehow have been removed automatically (due to uninstalling Whatsapp maybe? Or maybe because my storage was 98% full?)

So the question that I would have is whether I understand it correctly that the following steps might be a solution:

- I have a Samsung A52

- Unlock bootloader, root with Magisk, search for removed file, restore all msgstore files that are found

- Unroot the phone again

- Combine the msgstore files as explained in this thread and save as local backup

- Reinstall Whatsapp with local backup

Would this be a plan or am I asking for trouble doing this? Is there a better way? And if I combine multiple msgstore files, will this puzzle the chats together?

My Treo Pro from Telus does not appear to have ICS...at least, there's no ICS icon or anything. Is there some way to find out if it has it?

I'm trying to use wmwifirouter and the computer appears to connect to the device fine (although I can't ping it), but I'm unable to get a working internet connection out of it. I did find an ICSInstall.cab that Verizon folks reported success with but all that did on my phone was add an IntShrUI icon to the programs folder. There isn't even anything listed if I go to Remove Programs. And if I open IntShrUI and hit connect, I get an unknown error, which is why I'm assuming Telus has disabled ICS. Any chance it's possible to re-enable it with a reg hack or something?
[Samsung Galaxy A12] PancakeGremlin:
Hi, I don't have a samsung galaxy a12, but I have samsung galaxy a13. I've attempted to root my phone using this Video tutorial, and I've followed all the steps up until flashing odin, however I forgot to switch off "auto reboot" before flashing and now my phone is struck on the Samsung logo and repeatedly turning on and off, I am not even sure if that was the cause of my problem. I can't access anything even when holding the volume down button and shut down button. Is there anyway to fix this problem? Please let me know if you need additional information and if possible, please tell me how to root my phone properly.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] anhkhoa.pico:
download your device's firmware and flash stock via odin

remember to download the correct binary or the flash will fail
[Samsung Galaxy A12] PancakeGremlin:
What is a binary?

Anyways I downloaded the files on samfw for Samsung galaxy a13 SM-A137F and I turned the ap file into a patched file using magisk on my phone and put it into odin along with the other files, cp bl and csc, i flashed it while on the download page and it failed due to something called "vbmeta", my oem unlocking is also off, I'm assuming it didn't work because I hadn't unlocked the bootloader, but there's a problem with unlocking the bootloader as well

I shut down my phone and held both volume buttons and was presented with a blue page, i the had option to told to hold volume up button to unlock the bootloader but when I did that I got a red, entering fastboot mode message on top of my screen and it stayed like that forever, I could easily leave by holding buttons and stuff. natually, i gave up and followed a video on youtube on how to root my phone. this video tutorial did not include the firmware specific to my phone. but in the cp section it had a file called vbmeta_disabled.tar so i thought it would work.

so before I can find a solution to any of that I'm still stuck in a bootloop that has only the Samsung logo on it, it turns on and off without allowing me to go recovery mode or download mode or odin mode or any of that, I have no access to settings and I'm not recognized by odin while in this state. Hopefully the video I provided can give a hint on how I can fix this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] anhkhoa.pico:
Can you enter download mode?

if yes, please notice the sw rev it will appear as B3 S3 or B2 S2...

means your phone's binary is 3 or 2

go to samfw.com to download your rom version (remember the product name)

What about bit/binary:

What is BIT/BINARY value?

What is a bit, binary, or U of Samsung firmware? How to check which bit, binary, U of my phone? What is BIT, BINARY, U? When flashing Samsun...

samfw.com
[Samsung Galaxy A12] PancakeGremlin:
i cant enter download mode, also when i connect my phone to my pc and use platform tools and enter .\adb devices into terminal, my device is not shown. so i cant use platform tools to fix anything. im stuck on the samsung screen. to be more specific i start on the Samsung screen for 20 seconds, it shuts off for 1 second, shows the samsung screen again for half a second, and shuts of again for 1 seconds before repeating the process.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] sudo_SM-A137:
The same thing happened with me just when phone turns off press power and vol down I think or vol up to get recovery and make a factory reset and after your phone boot enable USB debugging and male it recognized to your PC and you need to remove an alert before it come because if you press reboot may be have a problems
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] gc2:
Hello,

After several flashings with Odin / Heimdall, the /efs partition of my SM-A520F (a5y2017lte) got corrupted. Luckily, I have a (supposedly sane) backup of the /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 block, so I am hoping I can restore it. In fact, I even have the full image (mmcblk0.img) of the internal sd card when the phone was functioning normally.

After a complete factory reset (erasing + repartitioning using the original .pit file + flashing stock ROM), I tried restoring the EFS by pushing mmcblk0p3.img to /sdcard and running

# dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p3.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3

from recovery. I also tried the direct way

$ adb push mmcblk0p3.img /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

or using netcat as described here. All attempts lead to the phone repeatedly rebooting on the ”Samsung Galaxy A5” screen. I tried the same with another ROM (LineageOS 18.1) and got the same result.

I can make the phone boot again by formatting /efs with

# mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

but of course it shows a null IMEI and it does not detect the SIM card (although everything else seems to work fine).

Do you have another idea about restoring EFS? I am thinking there is maybe a specialized Samsung Galaxy software tool, or some way to retrieve the content of mmcblk0p3.img (even if slightly corrupted) so that I can just copy/paste all the files and folders back to /efs.

Is it possible that my mmcblk0p3.img is damagedt? When I attempt to mount it:

a5y17lte:/ # mount /sdcard/mmcblk0p3.img /sdcard/test
mount: '/dev/block/loop0'->'/sdcard/test': I/O error

Is this normal or unexpected?

For information, running testdisk on the full mmcblk0.img image shows (sectors of 512 bytes) :

Partition Start End Size in sectors
1 P MS Data 8192 16383 8192 [BOTA0]
2 P MS Data 16384 24575 8192 [BOTA1]
3 P MS Data 24576 65535 40960 [EFS]
4 P MS Data 65536 81919 16384 [CPEFS]
5 P MS Data 81920 90111 8192 [m9kefs1]
6 P MS Data 90112 98303 8192 [m9kefs2]
7 P MS Data 98304 106495 8192 [m9kefs3]
8 P MS Data 106496 108543 2048 [CARRIER]
...

and the third partition has the correct size (20 MiB = 20,971,520 B).

Thanks for your help!

Backup And Restore Bluetooth pairings along with Galaxy wear and Galaxy watch4 Plugin DATA.

ROOT REQUIRED

Intro: After doing 8 or 9 factory reset and setup of my watch I managed to get this work.

IMPORTANT: Follow each step carefully, one mistake and you will not be able to restore.​

BACKUP

Step 1: Install MT Manager and go to /data/misc/bluedroid there will be 2 files bt_config.conf and bt_conf.bak.

View attachment 5971481

Step 2: Copy these two files and save it.

Note 1: Proceed only if these two files are present. Note 2: remember your Bluetooth name, by which name your device becomes discoverable. Save that too.

Step 3: Install Swift Backup give root access, Backup APP+DATA, Expansion and Media of galaxy wearable and galaxy watch4 manager (or plugin). And APP+DATA, Expansion And Media of Google Play Service and Bluetooth (com.android.bluetooth).

View attachment 5971483

Step 4: turn on airplane mode on the watch and keep it aside. “IMPORTANT”

RESTORE ( after factory reset or new rom)

Step 1: Rename your Bluetooth name by which it becomes discoverable, set it to the name it was on the previous rom (if got changed on new rom).

Step 2: Turn OFF Bluetooth on you new rom (IMPORTANT).

Step 3: Paste the 2 copied files back to /data/misc/bluedroid. Remove the ones that are there.

Step 4: set permissions to ( see the image for reference ). Set Owner and Group to Bluetooth 1002. Do this for both the files.

View attachment 5971487View attachment 5971489View attachment 5971491

Step 5: Your device must be completely set up after new rom. i.e. your google accounts should be logged in. In the manner it was logged in on previous device.

(Install swift backup)

Step 6: Now restore only DATA, Expansion And Media for the Bluetooth (com.android.bluetooth) and google play service. Then restore APP+DATA, Expansion and Media of galaxy wearable and watch4 manager plugin app which was backed up.

Step 6: turn on Bluetooth on the watch. Now turn on Bluetooth on the phone,

Step 7: open the wear app. And done. (reboot once if wear app doesnt recognize.)

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] anar4732:
"Transfer watch to new phone" feature won't work on the same phone it only works on different phones it won't even work if you transfer first to another phone and then try to transfer back to yours. does someone have a solution to this?

Resetting Google Play services & galaxy wearable (and plugins) won't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] anar4732:
Hi. thank you for the guide it helped a lot. but after restoring a backup the connection between the watch and the phone is not the same as before. Spotify songs played on the phone won't show on the watch for example. Whatsapp is unable to communicate with Whatsapp on the phone. The music player controls on the watch also feel laggy it takes a few seconds to update from the phone to the watch. It was instead before. It's like the phone won't send data to the watch but the watch can send data to the phone. the app list on the Galaxy wearable app is also now un-sync after restoring the backup can this be the problem? or what can be the issue do you have any idea?

Thank you, appreciate you.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Watson96:
