HTC One M8, Sensor Hub partition dead topic

Hello everyone,

since 2 days im trying to restore my M8 too stock. I tried all ways, via RUU, nandroid backups etc. I always flashed the firmwares, made sure I did everything the way it is supposed to be.
But every flash ends with the same ending: Either the phone wont boot into android at all, or all sensors and the camera wont work.
When i open the camera app, there is a black screen displayed for like 4 secs, and then im straight back at the home screen. I can see the shutter button, but nothing happens when i press it.
Furthermore, no sensor works. Orientation is dead, proximity, light, everything. There is also a 2 sec delay between pressing the power button and the screen coming to life.

After doing everything again step by step i discovered something, that might cause everything. While flashing the firmware, the CMD gives me following lines: (cut-out)

(bootloader) start image[sbl1-2] unzipping & flushing...
(bootloader) [RUU]UZ,sbl1-2,0
(bootloader) [RUU]UZ,sbl1-2,100

(bootloader) [RUU]WP,sp1,0
(bootloader) [RUU]WP,sp1,100
(bootloader) ...... Successful
(bootloader) current_image_number=10

as you can see, the RUU for the sensor hub isnt flashed how it should be. The CMD even stops for like 5 secs after displaying


(bootloader) start image[sensor_hub] unzipping & flushing...
(bootloader) [RUU]UZ,sensor_hub,0
(bootloader) [RUU]UZ,sensor_hub,100

After 5 secs, it continues with the line


(bootloader) .... bypassed


Is there some way to get the sensor hub working again? Im rly clueless and would be very happy if someone could help me!

Thank You!

[Howto][Android-x86] Mount Internal Windows Partition (NTFS) in Android-x86 topic

Mount Internal Windows Partition (NTFS) in Android-x86.

Android-x86 project is one of the new and exciting offshoot of Android platform solely developed by the community. Our Android community has contributed very heavily for the development of Android as one of the most loved platform for both users and the development community as a whole. Custom ROMs such as CyanogenMod, OmniROM, SlimRom, AOKP, Paranoid Android and many more community developed ROM's rock our beloved devices, including latest flagships to aged Legends such as HTC HD2, Motorola Defy(+). One such community developed Android ROM is the Android-x86 Project.

Android-x86 project aims porting the android experience as whole to the x86 architecture platform. This includes our laptops, desktops and x86 based tablets. Although android is a mobile platform specifically developed for phones, tablets and newly introduced wearable devices such as smart watches and Google Glass eyewear, google has not introduced the android as an operating system into the desktop-laptop segment. Google is sticking with its Chrome OS for desktops and is now trying to introduce android app to the Chrome OS. Android-x86 project patches that gap for us.

Android-x86 is like an elixer for our old desktops and laptops wiith lower capability processors and rams, such as pentium and atoms by introducing a modern OS with a lower requirement. It gives those devices a new life. But it is also not perfect yet and has many drawbacks. One such drawback is that it can't mount the internal NTFS partitions of the HDD, in case of the Multibooting Android-x86 with Windows Operating Systems. Many has tried it before but failed. Recently I came upon a chinese website which depicted a process of mounting internal ntfs partitions using a library named mount_nfsd_fuse.

Steps :
1. Download the mount_nfsd_fuse file from the download link provided below or here
2. Place the the downloaded file in the /system/xbin/ folder using a root enabled file manaager, eg. ES File Explorer, Root Explorer and and change to approriate permission.
3. Open Terminal ( If no terminal app installed, download one from Google Play), and obtain Su permission.
4. Mount the NTFS partitions using the code for example :
mkdir /storage/D
mount_nfsd_fuse /dev/block/sda2 /storage/D
format : mount_nfsd_fuse /dev/block/(partition) /(mount point)
5. (Optional) You can automate the process of mounting on boot by adding these lines to the /etc/init.sh file.
6. You can make a Windows style My Computer Icon using ES explorer widget pointing to the mounting folder such as in my example /Storage use it as a my computer alternative for android.

NOTE : All internal HDD partitions are stored at /dev/block/ folder. And so far I have failed mounting C drive , sda1, and sda10 partitions. Feel free to poke around.
Disclaimer : I'm note the developer of this tool and i take no responsibility for any damages caused.

Change Partition Size? topic

Hi,

I have a cheap'ish tablet from Amazon that didn't come with full root access (superuser didn't work), all I had to do was install SuperSU and update the su binary and then both supersu and superuser work.

Now that I have root, surely there must be someway I can change my partition sizes?

The "Internal Storage" says that it's 1GB which is nearly full, 800mb of it is taken up by "Apps and Media" even though I've moved as many apps as I can to the "SDCard" which is 11GB.... however I believe both the Internal Storage & SDCard are the same storage hardware because there is no sdcard visible anywhere.

How can I check the storage out and if possible how can I change the partition sizes?

Backing up TA partition instructions for Sony Xperia M2 Aqua topic

Hello. Me and the guys from 4pda.ru invented and embodied the bold idea.
In order to make a backup of TA, you just need to flash Android 4.3 for D2303 and get root access through Towelroot and save TA through known methods
Then you can flash your stock. And then open the boot..

[Q] /data partition unable to wipe topic

Hey guys,

I had previously encrypted my phone with the inbuilt android encryption, but it just didn't work (the PIN wasn't my password)
I tried to factory reset it but it didn't work either, from both fastboot or recovery.

So I reflashed my entire system from fastboot (which worked perfectly). Now I want to install the unofficial cm12 zip, but I can't erase userdata from my phone at all.. Either through fastboot or recovery, and I'm locked to the GPe image I am using currently.

The recovery error I get when trying to delete my data partition is:

Code:

---

-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete.

I have no idea what to do help please?

Data partition size? Best setting? HDX7 [noob] topic

Dear community,

I have the new Kindle Fire HDX7 (32GB). I have rooted it and installed Safetrap 3.75. My ultimate goal is to install the Nexus-Rom. Therefore I have already backed up the Stock-Rom with Safetrap. I think the next step is to create Rom-Slot-1. I'm stuck here as I have no idea which values to choose. I dont need the Stock-Rom (FireOS). I'd like to have my Nexus Rom as the only Rom I want to work with. I have read that it would be better to keep the Stock-Rom on the device nonetheless in case of an emergency. Though I have saved the backup on my PC as well I would leave it on the device too.
When using my kindle with the Nexus-Rom I'd like to use apps, games (especially Point-and-Click Adventure such as Brokens Sword (700MB), Broken Age, Monkey Island etc.) and surf the internet. I'd store some music as well if possible.

I have read that most people say: choose the values to your liking/depends on what you want to do. I tried to explain what I would like to do but I really don't know what values would fit my purpose best. I'd assume that I take the highest values as I want the Rom-Slot to be my only working-station? I've read so many threads now but I still haven't been able to figure that out. :(

My options are:

ROM-SLOT-1:

• System partition size: 1248 MB (value cant be changed)


• Data partition size: I can chooose a value between 1.000 MB and 16.000 MB


• Cache partition size: I can choose a value between 300 MB und 1.000 MB


• Selected Space: varies depending on the


• Free Space: 23366 MB (value cant be changed)

STOCK-ROM:

• System partition size: 1230 MB (193 MB Free)


• Data partition size: 26901 MB (23367 MB Free)


• Cache partition size: 1009 MB (990 MB Free)

I'm really lost here. Any kind of advice is really welcome. Thank you. :o
