If you've backed up your rom to a mini sd card, please help!

Ok..I did a backup using these instructions...
1. Get into the tri-color screen (hold CAMERA, reset) and plug into the USB port.
2. Kill wcescomm.exe from Windows XP (this is the ActiveSync driver for the USB port)
3. Start your terminal porgram
4. Hit "return" to insure you have a command prompt.
5. Make sure your 128MB SD card is in the slot.
6. Type "r2sd all" and hit return.
now the progress bar is full on the phone and in the terminal it said
WriteDataToSDCard() ul
and I accidentally hit the keyboard and so it said:
WriteDataToSDCard() ulTT
Invalid command : T
For a help screen, use command ? or h
Cmd>
Is the card done? Did I mess it up? If I did can I fix it? Thanks guys.

It does seems to have finished. But, why don't you just do the same thing again just to be safe? Format your SD and backup your ROM again. That you can be very sure. No harm doing another backup.

Help! Whats Wrong with my Galaxy S ?

My Galaxy wont connect with Kies ? check out this link -
.youtube.com/watch?v=Bun3DgLNsuk.
cant explain the problem properly

Try these:
While the device is pluged
Go into Device manager (type devmgmt.msc in the bar)
Look for device with a yellow " ! " and delete them.
click the home botton on the device if you can (to get out of kies connect mode)
Unplug it
reboot phone (Hold power a couple of seconds until the screen goes black) and let it reboot completely
plug it back while kies is open and see if drivers are installed properly

Okay, thanks. Will try that

That did not work, when windows cant install MTP USB-Application

can you try to uninstall kies and reinstall - update?
Does the device switch from home to kies?

I did try uninstalling Kies.
I removed the MTP Application from device manager, and now when i connect the phone it goes into MTP mode and jumps out of it again. And windows wont install the MTP driver

Looks like it's a hardware failure (with the usb connection)
Can you try on a different PC?
If not, call in for a repair and, if you want to try some of the things thei'll ask you to try, do theses:
Backup everything you have, do a hard reset (will erase everything)
*2767*3855#
then, clean all memories while in recovery mode and retry.

Try getting rid of any running applications; when I had Winamp open on my computer, it did the same thing you are talking about because it was tring to access my internal SD card.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App

''t1mman''
thanks for the help this worked
*2767*3855#
then, clean all memories while in recovery mode and retry.

This happens when you have a file on your internal memory that has an extension with more than 16 characters.
I had this problem, I fixed it by putting my phone in usb debug mode and then mounting it as a drive then I could go in and find all of the files that had long extensions. Basically its any file that has more than 16 characters after the last .
I had some files that were called .thumb924839834983 or something like that. I deleted them and then I stopped having this issue.
I found this solution on xda somewhere, but I cant seem to find it now.

Go here: http://d-h.st/Kya and download the zip file. Inside is everything you need.
Unzip. The first one is the DFT_MLI_SAM1.exe. That is the one that gets MAGLDR on your phone.
Once that is done, the other DFT_WPI_SAM1.exe file is the best 7.8 ROM I have used yet.
It is discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528984
To install:
0.) Have MAGLDR installed on your phone and Samsung Drivers installed on your PC
1.) Place the zip files 'OS.D000FF + CSC.D000FF + DFT_WPI_SAM1.exe + rapitool.exe + Readme.txt' in a folder
2.) Go to 'Settings' -> 'about' -> 'reset your phone' -> 'yes' -> 'yes'
3.) Right when the screen goes black press and hold 'voldown + camera'
4.) Press '<-' (cancel)
5.) Plug your phone into your PC
6.) Flash OS.D000FF + CSC.D000FF with DFT_WPI_SAM1.exe
7.) Wait
8.) Go through setup wizard on phone
9.) Go to 'Settings' -> 'about' -> 'reset your phone' -> 'yes' -> 'yes'

^^ great tutorial by Windows Phone Hacker Jaxbot on how to go about custom ROMming it up. Make sure you've got the drivers he refers to in the video (seriously just google "Samsung USB Drivers For Mobile" and DL them) and then follow the directions.
Watch the video on the WPH site first, and don't freak out if it takes a while when you do it. The usb/computer/phone picture will probably stay on the screen for a while before a progress bar appears. Also, make sure you hard reset the phone once the new ROM is flashed.

Can't Get it to Work
have a Samsung Focus 1.3 and I am trying to Install Clean ROM 3.0.
I believe I have all the proper drivers installed on my computer (Samsung USB, WMDC) I have installed MAGLDR 2.00 on the phone and I can enter MAGLDR mode by pressing volume down + cam + power. Upon pressing back it says "Wait USB" and as soon as I connect I see "USB! CMD connected"
However, when I run DWPI I get the following error:
Please make sure that your device is connected to your computer.
also make sure that right drivers are installed (Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Center)
Try to connect device to different USB port and also you can try to reboot PC.
Also you can try to exclude USB hubs.

I installed Magldr and Clean Rom just the other day and encountered the exact error, but I wish I paid attention to what I had done to resolve it. I believe it matters when you connect the phone to the computer. Try this:
- Disconnect your phone from the computer
- Run the Magldr installation and proceed through the steps until the point where you have to click Next to start the installation (do not start the install, just leave it at the screen just before the installation starts)
- Follow the steps mentioned before to get your phone ready for Download mode
- Now connect your phone to the computer and confirm that the device is connected and ready
- Go back to the Magldr installation window and proceed with the installation
I want to say, at least in my case, making sure the phone was connected to the computer when everything was ready (versus leaving it connected all the time), helped resolve the error.
Good luck!

I just installed Magdlr and CleanRom and got this error too. All I had to do was close the installer and unplug the phone from my PC for a few seconds. Once I plugged the phone back in and started the installer it worked the second time.

Camera button don't work.

Hi there,
I have one question and how can I access step # 3 because the camera button on my phone is not working ( I Think it is a hardware issue). Is there any other workaround to do this without using the camera button?
Thanks.

Kogan Agora HDMI Smart TV Quad Core - Root Access

Hi,
So I have had a good experience with the Kogan Agora 7" a couple of years ago. I flashed a new ROM and my 6 year old still idolizes it. It's perfect for games and movies while traveling and cost bugger all.
I was considering getting my kids a console unit for games but came across the new Quad core HDMI Dongle. I though to myself there is the ticket, When traveling i could use it as a smart TV (plug and play is King) Or it may be possible to replace or augment my Media-portal HTPC system.
I bought one and on the face of it it appears to do all that I require from an Android device like web surfing, mail checking and video streaming fine, except when it came to installing the Playstation controller.
I needed Root access and it was a bit of a pain to get it done. BUT I found it!
I used RK3188_ROOT for CX-919 FW0715 MOD by Everal. found here.
1. Turn the device on
2. Make sure USB debugging is enabled
3. Connect the device to Win7
4. Start the file "TPSparkyRoot.bat" as admin
Enjoy.
So if anyone decides to purchase one of these to play with, you will be glad to know that it is a Rockchip RK188. Weather you think that hardware is good or not is irrelevant but it is useful to know as I tried many methods to gain root but once I had this bit of info it became easy.
Those infinity Pocket PC's may be the same although I can't be sure.
I managed to pair a sixaxis controller and am working on getting it running in a game. I will post if i have any more issues and or success.

Thanks for posting this info. However I'm not able to get this to work. My PC doesn't recognise the device when it's in "USB Debugging" mode. In the device manager it just appears in "Other Devices" as "KHSTVQCDONA". I've tried updating the software, selecting the "usb_drivers" folder containing drivers provided in the downloading Zip file, and also tried downloading the "Google USB Drivers" directly from Google, but Windows doesn't find the drivers for this device.
If I disable "USB Debugging" the device does connect successfully under "Portable Devices", but clearly that's not much use.
I can't seem to figure it out.
Below are the steps I took in trying to get it to work. I was going to write it as a guide for dummies, but I never got it working...
Download the software from the link above. On the "Share-Online" page click the small-ish button that says "continue for free", and not the bit "DOWNLOAD FILE (regular download)" button in the banner ad (that I feel very silly for clicking several times).
Once the file "RK3188_ROOT for CX-919 FW0715 MOD by Everal.zip" has finished downloading, extract it to a temp location on your PC.
Make sure the Micro-USB port of the device is connected to a power source (either your PC or the provided AC adapter). The port doesn't seem to transfer data.
On the Agora device, go to "Settings", open the "USB" menu, and enable "Connect to PC". Without this the device wasn't recognised by my PC at all.
In "Settings", click on the "Developer options" menu, and tick "USB debugging".
Connect the provided blue Male-Male USB cable to a full-sized USB port on the device, and to a USB port on your PC. At this stage the device connects but is not recognised.
Open the Windows "Device Manager".
In the "Device Manager", expand "Other Devices", then right-click on "KHSTVQCDONA" and click on "Update Driver Software".
Click "Browse my computer for driver software".
Navigate to the "usb_drivers" folder of the software you extracted earlier, select it, and click "OK".
Click "OK". THIS DIDN'T WORK, stating that "Windows was unable to install your KHSTVQCDONA" and "Windows could not find driver software for your device".
[*] Open "Command Prompt", by right-clicking on it and clicking "Run as Administrator".
[*]C:
[*]cd RK3188_ROOT
[*]TPSparkyRoot.bat
At this point I see the following:
*---* VonDroid.com N101 II Root Tool based on work by sunnydavid *---*
--- Plug in your device, make sure debugging is enabled in Developer Options
--- This script will now copy files over to your N101 II

Press any key to continue . . .
error: device not found
--- If the ID shows as 0/root then continue, otherwise CTRL+C to cancel and star
t over
Press any key to continue . . .
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I terminate at this point
I've also done the following
Un-ticked "Verify apps over USB"
In "Security", ticked "Unkown sources", and un-ticked "Verify apps"
At this point I'm totally at a loss.
I had already started using the device initially, so I did a factory reset, but this hasn't helped at all.
Can you see anything I'm missing, or point me in the right direction?
Many thanks in advance! :good:

Ok So I know i messed around with many drivers installing and uninstalling before it worked. I Thought it was the last set that came with the Root method but I may be wrong.
Also I cant remember exactly now but I am pretty sure if you activate the connect to computer you bypass the ROM and connect to the SD card and the U SD. So that would not help when accessing the root files.
Try re-installing the drivers after connecting without the box checked in settings or try the ones from super oneclick 2.3.3 or even the pocket pC ones. you may also need to uninstall the device then reconnect to get a clean run at it. Windows likes hanging onto what it thinks is the best driver even when they don't work or are completely wrong.
Also I ran the batch file form within windows not in console, Just right clock to run as administrator.
I have just used it for a couple of weeks in Japan get let the Kids watch Aview (iView) and it worked a treat. Also the latest sixaxis updates made the controller even better than before. I can probably have a tool around with it later this week but I am busy before then so wont be able to help any. It can be done!
PM me if you cant find the drivers mentioned above I can email them to you.

Thanks for the quick response.
Can you just confirm that you were connecting using the blue Male-Male USB cable, and not a USB-Micro-USB cable?
When I connect to the Micro-USB port it doesn't see a device at all. It just seems to provide power.
When I connect with the blue Male-Male USB cable, unless I have "Connect to PC" ticked, it also doesn't see a device.
I don't have a micro-SD card installed, but that doesn't matter right?
I'll try those drivers you suggest. Thanks.

I am quite keen to figure out what is different but I cant access it for a couple of days sorry.
I definitely used a full sized USB to Connect, I may have used another one, and powered it from the Micro USB direct to power supply. If you are connecting it to the PC for power it may cause problems.
I know that you cannot access the recovery menu unless you are powering through the Micro USB only. Another thing I meant to mention in my original post. I may have posted it elsewhere.

SUCCESS! After I got the SuperOneClick software to forcibly install the drivers the device was then recognised and I could root the device.
Thanks. I'll write up the full instructions.

Excellent!! Thanks for writing up the guide.

OK, here is a full step-by-step guide for getting this to work:
Download "SuperOneClick" from Download.com (CNET). I can't post external links right now because I'm a new user, but it will appear if you do a Google search.
Extract SuperOneClick to a temporary location ("C:\temp" for the purpose of this installation).
Download the software from the link in the first post above. On the "Share-Online" page click the small-ish button that says "continue for free", and not the big "DOWNLOAD FILE (regular download)" button in the banner ad (that I feel very silly for clicking several times).
Once the file "RK3188_ROOT for CX-919 FW0715 MOD by Everal.zip" has finished downloading, extract it to a temp location on your PC (for the purpose of these instructions "C:\temp").
Make sure the Micro-USB port of the device is connected to a power source (ideally the provided AC adapter). The port doesn't seem to transfer data so don't connect it to your PC, unless you are using your PC as the power source. Basically as long as it's turned on, then continue.
On the Agora device, go to "Settings", open the "USB" menu, and enable "Connect to PC". Without this the device wasn't recognised by my PC at all.
In "Settings", click on the "Developer options" menu, and tick "USB debugging".
Connect the provided blue Male-Male USB cable to a full-sized USB port on the device, and to a USB port on your PC. At this stage the device connects but is not recognised.
Open "SuperOneClick"
In SuperOneClick click the "Advanced" tab, then click "Check Drivers".
When prompted to ask if you would like it to forcefully install drivers, click "Yes".
Click the "Install..." option when prompted by "Windows Security".
You should then hear the device connect, and disconnect, and see an message "Driver installed! Please reconnect your device", so click "OK".
Disconnect the blue USB cable from you PC, and then reconnect it. You should hear that the device has connected successfully (and it now appears as "Android Composite ADB Interface" in you "Device Manager" if you care to check.).
Open "Command Prompt", by right-clicking on it and clicking "Run as Administrator". (I found that running the .bat file directly failed because it didn't find the "adb" application)
C:
cd temp\RK3188_ROOT
TPSparkyRoot.bat
Follow the prompts from here. The application should reboot your device several times (if not something is wrong), after which point you press any ket to continue. From here everything was very straight-forward once the .bat file completed the device was then rooted.
Enjoy

I had to do things differently......
Used rocketchip_batch_tool_1.7 for drivers, superoneclick didnt do anything.
I ran the batch from the folder on my desktop.
For EACH device re-boot i had to RE CHECK connect usb on cx919 settings.
I got a few errors about no more storage on my device when it tried to copy some stuff, although i have the super user and i tried sixaxis controller which requires root and it worked. Not sure what the files were.
update:
Hmm and it seems SSL websites dont work now as well as Netflix or the Store.
ill have to try something else!
Update:
did a factory wipe. all seems ok now.

Worked fine since then. All a sudden same prob, no Netflix no store. Wtf?

Just wanted to post an updated root method since i got one of these second hand last week
1. get the universal rockchip drivers, or the latest generic google ones. both worked for me on two different PC's. (including windows 8.1 x64)
2. Enable USB Debug mode in developer options. you know the drill.
3. the kogan device has a "USB" menu in settings, that has a 'connect to PC' setting. turn that on or ADB cuts out shortly after the system boots - turn it off after rooting for it to work normally.
4. connect PC to kogan dongle via the USB port next to the power LED. The other one doesnt work.
5. root with whatever method you want - i used kingo root which rooted it flawlessly first time.
6. have fuuuuun!
3 and 4 stumped me for days til i figured out what was going on. not something i'd ever encountered before, and likely unique to this device and why some people cant figure it out.

Recover with dead screen

Hey guys,I hope that all the awesome people here can help me to solve a huge Problem.
My GF had a Galaxy S5 Neo,she thought it would be a great idea to drop it directly on the screen so it broke and won't show anything anymore.
No we need to backup some important files from that device.
Gladly I was able to remove the lockscreen protection with her Samsung Account,but still not able to do more.
The device is on the latest official update,not rooted and no USB debugging enabled.
So I tried to get in recovery and use adb,witch will work every now and than,but I found out that the adb in stock recovery is limited,so now way to do anything there.
If I had enabled USB debugging,I could easily use visor to controll the device.
If I connect it via USB to my PC,it shows up,but as an empty device.
And I can't change the USB mode,because screen is completely dead.
Can I change the USB mode without the screen?
Can I enable USB debugging without the screen?
If I could change at least the USB mode,that could help out at least a little.
Long story short,I need an way to backup file from that thing.
If there is a solution for this,you guys would really help me out.

2. Once you feel like you're at the Touchwiz home screen, attach a keyboard to your S5 Neo.
3. On your keyboard, press Windows + N (Quick Settings tray).
4. Press Tab twice and Enter (Settings).
5. Keep on pressing Down Arrow for 5 sec.
6. Up Arrow one time and Enter (Developer options).
*** You can now (A) enable USB debugging and/or (B) change USB configuaration to MTP ***
7(A). Down Arrow * 7 times and Enter (USB debugging).
7(B). Down Arrow * 22 and Enter (USB configuration).
8(A). Right Arrow and Enter to allow USB debugging (OK).
8(B). Press Down Arrow and Enter (MTP)
9(A). Connect your phone to your PC *** You MUST keep your keyboard connected ***
9(B). Connect your phone to your PC.
10(A). On your computer, run "cmd" and type "adb devices" to authorize. *** You will see "unauthorized" from your cmd window ****
10(B). On your computer, you will see your device connected.
11(A). On your keyboard, press Tab * 3 and Enter (OK).
12(A). On your computer, type "adb devices" again to see if USB debugging works properly.
Note that this may or may not work for you depending on your firmware/settings.
