[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] clonmult:
Been given a Kaiser by a friend, he claims it works fine, but its without battery.

I'm right in thinking that even with mains power, the device won't start up without a battery? Wanting to confirm before I go ahead and pick up a battery (L8Shop have the 2600mAh extended for about £13!). Although if the phone won't startup, its not a big loss ....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] liamhere:
yes battery must be in place

....well always has in all my other WM phones

hope this helps

[Samsung Galaxy M12] Concinnity:
hey guys, this post is about m-146b INS version but they had no category for it so posting it here, i downloaded the latest firmware, then extracted boot.img from AP file, patched it with magisk. then using odin i flashed that AP file, it shows custom(0x3), i tried to do it again, but it just doesnt boot, its stuck at Samsung logo. Any kind of help would be appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy M12] Blacksaber12:
So u go back and download the latest frimware and flash the ap file(unpatched) and u will get the unrooted/normal version and be able to boot.
[Samsung Galaxy M12] Blacksaber12:
It will take like 5 to 10 mins to boot up after this so wait.

After doing this try using older version of magisk or patched magisk , try delta magisk first if it works then go with it if not then alpha magisk then if that also doesnt work try older versions of magisk . Basically trial and error , worked for me .
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidUser514:
I just found my old nook hd 20gb and I want to take the books I purchased and add them to calibre, but it seems that there is a hidden partition that it uses to store the books. Is there any way to access this if I root my device? Or what's the easiest way I can retrieve my books?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidUser514:
Anyone?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ze7zez:
Rooting usually results in a factory reset. I don't know what will happen to the purchased books, whether they will remain in memory after cleaning the phone.

I presume the books were purchased on a device with a logged in account. However, I have never purchased a book, so I have no experience.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidUser514:
Thank you for the reply! I guess I'll just have to eat the loss on these. I'll never buy a Nook again after learning how restrictive they've been.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmyshkin:
Well....maybe. If you get one of the early rooting methods, they are sometimes fairly benign and just open the device up, so to speak. Early rooting methods for the Nook Tablet were like this and I seem to recall rooting my husband's HD early in its life without doing anything else to it. I'll see if I can find that exploit.

[CWM/ROOT/UNKNOWN SOURCES] HD/HDplus Stock Root/other Mods - via CWM flashable zips

Update 09/10/13. This thread is being updated to reflect many new developments with the HD/HD+. Alternate ROMs are now plentiful and B&N has added Google Play Store and gapps to stock. And now the biggest change for stock is verygreen has broken...

xdaforums.com

You'll need a CWM card and I was reading #6 which talks about rooted ROMS. The statement: "They can be flashed over whatever version you have. You can do it without any wiping so your installed apps and settings will remain intact." sounds like what you need. But the devil is in the details. You would need to spend some time reading to be sure. Also, if you kept up with updates you might be out of the working range for this. Probably you will need to enable Unknown sources as well since a good root file manager app will be essential for ferreting out the whereabouts of the books. There may be a combo like that. I'll go back there when I have more time. Kinda rushed right now...

-----

As for storing books in a "hidden" partition, it's possible but I think unlikely. They are probably somewhere in /data/media or similar where they would not be accessible to the casual user. If you can locate them (generally the files are titled by ISBN or some other really long string) you will still have to deal with the DRM. I think Calibre may be able to help you out there.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ze7zez:
Thank you @nmyshkin for researching. I've had my Nook rooted for a long time. Tomorrow I will log on to the Barnes & Noble bookstore, buy a free book and send it to the author of the thread to check the possibility of using it in Calibre.

=====edit====

Unfortunately, my Nook HD no longer has any access to books. Downloading the web version misses the point, and also requires a payment card, even when buying free books.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidUser514:
Thank you to both of you for trying. I will try rooting my nook and looking for a root file manager app. Could I find one here? I'll look around. Thanks again!

[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Andoreid:
Hello,

since android 14 I can't update google play-systemupdates (phone info ->software info -> tapping on google play-systemupdate). It's downloading, restarting and restarting again by itself with the version not changing - still oct. 23.

I am rooted using magisk and play integrity fix module with latest android firmware WL1. Disabling the module and installing doesn't change anything. I also had to deactivate configuration-update (cidmanager) since android 14 due to enerving restart requests without restart and error message. Does anyone know what the problem is ?

Regards
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] GalaxyA325G:
I do not know the answer but this has useful information.

* What is the date of your Google Play system update (given Project Mainline & Project Treble were supposed to be monthly forever for all Android 10+)?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Andoreid:
Well that's interesting and could be an explanation. Although it is still strange that files are downloaded without the installation succeeding afterwards. But there have been problems with google play systemupdate in the past.

Do you know what is up to the cid-manager asking for a restart all the time when active ?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Andoreid:
Some info for CID-manager: https://www.rogtechs.com/cidmanager/

Many users have reported problems with this app since it was introduced. Android firmware, rooting, or certain modules like Play Integrity Fix may be the cause.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Deleted member 2092952:
Google Play, services, and everything has their own automatic update process. You shouldn't ever need to even look at it. Likely at some point it would get updated without you.

However, I just did that, it said there was an update, rebooted, and the date is the same and now it says no update available now on a factory locked device. So, Google has some weird things going on there.

If you want to keep at it, you could try manually updating the app responsible for dealing with the version info.

But, unless you actually see an issue from the version (of which shouldn't be just because its a short term old in date), I'd just forget all of this.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Andoreid:
That's right, nothing dramatic so far but still a bit odd. If there is no clear cause it'll possibly resolve itself in future updates.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] AbbigailZiemann:
Any update?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Andoreid:
With the XA1 firmware google systemupdate works again, now updated with the latest january version.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Deleted member 2092952:
Mine updated automatically (on its own) to Jan 1st on Android 14.

Not really sure what you're looking for. It is working as expected.

Will add to that. Again, just because its x months behind does not mean that you need to think about it or try to manually update anything. Google has it updated on the time frame they feel is best. One can look at it and feel its not working but that doesn't mean its not.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ximoon:
Guess I'll have to try that, seems great !

Your editor seems (as you describe it) only able to change values, but not the structure of the mode9 file, do you intend to change that ?

I have an ongoing project of mode9/xml converter in C, if I can be of some help, don't hesitate to ask :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 6Fg8:
Hi Ximoon,

guess you belong to the "intended audience" :)

At the moment only changing values is allowed, correct. The main reason for this is that i'm unable to interpret and understand the complete structure, and to make sure that writing of m9 files produces valid files. If there's more info on that i could build it into the editor of course.

What i could imagine is a more generic approach, e.g. allow insertion/deletion of tags based on hex-values. I'll give that a thought.

Do you have any detailed info about the tag-structure? It can be seen in the tagfile but as hexvalues. Ive been able to interpret some of them, but the meaning of many others is unknown to me. So m9editor filters most of them for better reading.

Anyway, there's more to come with m9editor. I already built routines to disassemble lua scripts which run fine, but as its output is only relevant to p-code its pretty useless at this time. Also planned is a tool to allow image replacement. That could go to a point where we have a complete workbench for TF3D, including preview and the like. But thats far beyound my current scope.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ximoon:
Nice anyway !

I have no more information than you do, all I got is from the manilla thread where you posted earlier ;)

But in the end, names of the tags doesn't really matter.

For LUA, I found some decompiler on the web, so I guess a tool to convert lua-unicode to lua-ascii and reverse could work to use those tools.

I guess I'll go on with my editor and see what I could do in the end, for two different approches could be constructive !
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 6Fg8:
Must have been ChunkSpy, right? I found many more but mostly outdated and not working for Lua 5.1.

The Lua routines i've already written allow converting unicode to ascii, and save the scripts in ascii respectively. I'll have to recode them in .net as the first quick approach has been VB :confused:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] D-MAN666:
Nice start, man :)

I was waiting for so long since somebody starts public Manila DevKit since i posted specs i reversed :D

great idea, i'd appreciate to see a analog clock on the HD
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pcarvalho:
wow! finally someone is doing it :D

thanks and keep up the good work!!!

what i show in screenshot, is it portion of unparsed data?

can one edit them? i tried and failed cause i dont know what to change...

i'm missing: RectF, X, Y, Width, Height
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 6Fg8:
its the value of the tag above, "Viewport". Currently i dont know how to parse that, as its binary and i dont understand the meaning. Could be 8 x Int16, or 4x Int32, or a mixture of that, and even then i wouldnt understand what these values mean. Obviously parameters for Viewport.

Yes, you can edit that, simply overwrite the hexvalues and press enter, it will be written.

Can you shed light into the purpose of these values? I'll be glad to parse them right.

BTW there is a baaad bug in v1.0.2.0 when writing m9, i'm currently correcting that.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pcarvalho:
take your time my friend

those ones for Viewport i only know that they are:

<Property Name="Viewport" Type="RectF" X="0" Y="0" Width="31457280" Height="35127296" Animated="False"/>

cause i used D-MAN666's mode9parser, talk with him cause he might help, i hope :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 6Fg8:
Annotations currently dont work on new nodes (inserted or copied), thats because they are linked via offset within the mode9 file. The node offset is calculated during load so a new node wont have an offset after insert. Save the file and reopen it will do the trick.

next step: rearrange lua script (import/export wil be soooooooonice :p) to use sprint clock instead of flip

[Windows Mobile Software Development] 6Fg8:
new version of m9editor has been released, details as always, here
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 6Fg8:
oh yes, you definitely did ... i LOVE the way it looks now

Dont expect too much from that. From my current knowledge, i can export p-code and import compiled lua scripts. Lua compiler creates ascii p-code, which has to be converted to DBCS (its UTF8 IIRC), and vice versa on export. There's an additional hack necessary for number tweaking, at least for the available lua decompilers. Have to investigate on that a bit.

What i can't do ATM is export lua source coude which can be modified, recompiled and reimported (yes, THAT would be a dream).

At least there's hope:

If sztupy (*wink*) is successful, maybe we can share knowledge to make a complete workbench.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 6Fg8:

[Windows Mobile Software Development] NisseDILLIGAF:
Nice work guap... and I can agree.. It's a mess in the Sprint m9 file :p

I've been playing around with 5c9aa261_manila (manila.m9)

Instead of all screen being shaded with an icon and text in the middle... I made this...

With Today's date and weekday and a analog clock to show the time :D

All creds to DMAN-666 for date and clock scripts...

It's from his active icons Home(clock) and Calendar...

And I think if u are using the active icons and this ... one of them wont work

Because I think u can only use a lua script once (with the same reference name)

When we can edit the lua scripts, we can run more then one instance of a script/object :)

EDIT

I just saw that the minute hand is of centre...

It will go of outside the clock when it comes to 40-50 minutes

I've attached the files...

11ff4459_manila is a xml language file...

You have to change that to your ROM language

And 5c9aa261_manila is from Sprint...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] D-MAN666:
Not really. The last version of script allows multiple instances of clock. When you write "I think they won't work", does that mean, you tested and they weren't working? ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] NisseDILLIGAF:
aha .. cool.. :)

no I've actually havent tested it.. It was very late and I was tired... :rolleyes:

I just based that on previous experiences with lua scripts...

That u can only run a script once in a mode9 file..?

I tried to run more that one 'ListTimeText' and only one worked...

But u are the real mode9/lua expert here...!! you tell me :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sztupy:
I don't think recompiling a decompiled lua is a good idea, but we can share common knowledge on how to add events, how to run applications, get database information, etc. and so adding some user compiled lua applications to the mode9 stack would add new functionality. I already found how to run other applications, now the only thing is missing for me are the event handling, but it doesn't seem to complex at a first glance.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] D-MAN666:
I think i wrote that a couple times before: TF3D (not manila, lucky we :)) is *very* badly coded. At my level of experience, i cannot afford myself to code like that. :D

[Windows Mobile Software Development] D-MAN666:
You will be one on one vs decompiler then :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sztupy:
Oh, then one more quick question ;)

Are numeric constants really stored as IEEE doubles? I see a lot of almost zero values both in the decompiled code, and in chunkspy. Does TF3D really contain lot of values such as 1e-319, or does it use some other numeric encoding? (or maybe endianness errors?)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sztupy:
Okay, other question:

seems they are fixed-point numbers with a weird negative encodings... 16bit fractional part + 48bit integer part

if negative the integer part is two complemented. What happens to the fractional part when it's negative (couldn't find any reference to that)?

Am I right about these things?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] D-MAN666:
Re Number Encoding:

I dunno how to call this encoding properly :), but basically it's a 32-bit signed integer divided by 0x10000.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sztupy:
and it's stored in a 64-bit format to be more cooler? :)

(It's called Q16.16 encoding if I'm right)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] D-MAN666:
What do you mean by 64-bit? LUA headers clearly say: "SIZE_OF_NUMBER = 4 (bytes)" which is 32bits.

Update: I reckon 6Fg8's LuaConv utility converts lua files into ASCII for 64bit version of LUA. But, originally, they are in "Q16.16" format.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 6Fg8:
You're absolutely right, will change that. Thanks for the hint.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sztupy:
I think its fine the way it is now. Most of the lua tools have no problem using this file, mostly because they are made for 8byte long doubles. This 4byte Q16.16 + 4 bytes of zeros are fine.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 6Fg8:
Ok, so i leave it for now.

BTW Thanks for Beta2, i'm currently testing the embedded scripts with it. Most of them decompile perfect.
