Ok got it to work,

okay my converter sux I got it .D if you could post more info to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4385729 your tutorial for Hero could be much more simpler...
and dont forget to give credits plx .D
best regards

I had mentioned your thread as a credit in my blog post. Maybe I will make it bold now . And I know it could be simpler. When I have time I could write a tool to insert the xml generated by Amber Nokia convertor into the SQL Lite databases directly without doing all the hacks i.e. merging a tutorial to convert NOkia->WM and then WM->Android. The WM bit isn't really necessary tbh.

Sorry I just noticed.. I forgot to include the link to your post and only included the modaco ones SOrry for that.. Done it now

iphone to htc hero???
anyone?

Almost there, but a little help needed please
Hi, have followed all the steps and got a saved copy of import.xml.
Next I connected the phone using the USB cable. (Didn't mount it as a USB device)
Then I opened Command Promt on my PC and changed to the android SDK tools directory.
Then I type "adb shell" (without quotes)
It says:
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
$
At this point the phone disconnects from HTC Sync and I have to end adb.exe (which appears twice) in windows task manager to get it to reconnect to sync.
Any suggestions please?

If it disconnects from HTC Sync, it's fine as long as you get the shell prompt

But then if I type "su" after the $ it says su: permission denied...

I assume your phone isn't rooted then.

Maybe not. To be honest I'm starting to feel a bit out of my depth here. I don't really have any programming knowledge and haven't really used dos much before. I'll go and research 'rooting' now, but if you can come back with a quick instruction in the meantime that'd be great

Ok, so I've found various instruction for how to root my phone. Only problem is that they each seem to relate to what network I'm on. I was originally on T-Mobile, but paid to have it unlocked so I can use my 3 sim. Should I just use the instruction relating to T-Mobile? Sorry for so many questions, but I'm a bit worried about permanently wrecking the phone

Ok, if I use the instructions here (my ROM version is 2.73.+) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4525393&postcount=1 do you think it should be ok? I am a bit worried about the part where it says "flashrec is using an exploit that isn't patched yet in the current kernel used by HTC, however if/when HTC patches this, flashrec will stop working. So for now it's ok but a next version might have patched this, so keep this in mind !"

[GUIDE] How To Unlock Tethering on Nexus 5X.

I'll start off by saying I didn't come up with any of this method myself, its just different information I found scattered on different threads on XDA and Reddit. Maybe some other 5X users will find it useful contained in this thread.
Secondly, this requires an unlocked bootloader, also working adb and fastboot with correct drivers for your 5X, enable USB debugging. I won't go over that here, there are plenty of other guides on how to do that, and know that it will erase all your data. As long as you can find your device via "adb devices" and "fastboot devices" you should be fine.
Lastly, you will get the corrupt data message on phone startup. I don't see any negative effects with this, other than an annoying message. Also I'm still able to use the fingerprint scanner as well as set up Andoid Pay. I can't verify Android Pay as I don't have any stores near me that accept it.
You also won't have to flash any custom recovery or root the device, which keeps it closer to stock, which hopefully will allow Android Pay to still function, hopefully someone with a Android Pay store nearby can test this to verify.
First grab TWRP for 5X from here. Save it in the same folder as your adb/fastboot install.
Make sure your phone is connected to your computer, open command prompt and verify adb sees your phone.
Code:
adb devices
Now reboot to bootloader.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Now we boot from TWRP without having to flash/install it.
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-bullhead.img
When TWRP finishes booting, click Mount and check the box for /system
Now we need to pull the build.prop file.
Code:
adb pull /system/build.prop
Using a text editor add this line to the end of the build.prop file and save it.
Code:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Now we push it back to the phone.
Code:
adb push build.prop /system/
Make sure the permissions are correct.
Code:
adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop
And lastly
Code:
adb shell settings put global tether_dun_required 0
Now we just reboot
Code:
adb reboot
and your tethering should be working!
I'm currently using this method and it is working for me. I'm on Verizon with a Grandfathered Unlimited Plan, so I can't test it for any other carriers.
Most of this information I pulled from this reddit thread, I just did my best to condense it down and simplify it, and make it aimed toward the Nexus 5X specifically.
edit* People are confirming on the Reddit thread on their Nexus 6 that Android Pay is still working after making these changes!

Thanks! This works exactly as stated, even the "corrupt data" warning on boot.
I will add that - this being my first Nexus device since a Galaxy Nexus - the "fastboot oem unlock" step needed prior to this guide has an additional step where you have to enable the "OEM Unlock" option in the Developer Options menu, within the booted system. After confirming this you can unlock the bootloader via the standard "fastboot oem unlock" command prior to starting this guide.

Thanks for this, used same method to push supersu and get it installed without needing to decrypt the phone!

Thanks. Worked great for me. I'm on AT&T, weird thing though, I never had any problem activating the hotspot on my OG Nexus 5.

AWESOME!

Guys can you please explain what do you mean as "unlock tethering"? Is not enabled by default?

This method bypasses the subscription check for tethering, those of us with unlimited data have to pay a separate fee to use tethering with Verizon, and this fixes that. It should be the same for other carriers as well.

I was so excited to play with my 5x when I got home (that and dealing with my 2 sick kids) and I completely forgot to unlock the bootloader before I got too carried away. Now all the time I spent downloading apps and such is lost. Our DSL connection is slow, so all that took one time. I've been rooting and romming way too long to make such a rookie mistake.
So, I get the joy of blowing the whole thing way and re-setting it up again...

Could you confirm the steps?
Can you confirm you can still use supersu? I thought the kernel had to allow su.
Also, I guess you can also install the bootunlock app and see if that works?

Thank you thank you thank you!
This is huge for me.
BTW, I assume you can just push the original unmodded build.prop back for OTA updates. Anyone know if anything else is required apart from that?

Confused on why we need TWRP just to do this.

You're not flashing twrp, just booting into it. Twrp allows you to pull and push files to /system without root, which is needed to make these changes.

T-Mobile/MetroPCS users additional steps to enable tethering
If you are on T-Mobile or MetroPCS you will need to perform some additional steps for tethering to work. After you have performed the steps outlined earlier in this thread do the following:
Under Settings -> More -> Cellular Networks -> Access Point Names
Touch the name of the APN that is selected (there may only be one) then:
1) change "APN Protocol" to "IPv4"
2) change "APN roaming protocol" to IPv4
3) Edit "APN Type" and add "dun" to the comma separated list so it reads something like "default,supl,mms,dun"
4) OPEN THE MENU IN THE UPPER-RIGHT AND CHOOSE SAVE!
5) You MAY have to reboot for this to take effect

Ok needing it for that reason makes sense now.

So... I'm getting about 30% packet loss on att with my 5x.
If I take my sim out and pop it into my nexus 6(also with marshmallow), everything is fine.
Could someone with att run some extended pings from a device connected to your phones tether and note any ping drops?
I don't know if this is a sw bug, or hardware issue.

Does this work if the device is still encrypted?
My TWRP seems to have trouble accessing /system partition with encryption.

[Official] Note 4 Verizon Bootloader Unlock

Enjoy. Don't forget to thank @beaups too, he discovered the eMMC backdoor and exploited it!
UPDATE: [8/2/16] I have recompiled the binary to fix issues with older ROMs like 4.4. This should fix all the issues with "This is for samsung device only" errors.
THIS WILL NOT WORK ON GALAXY S3/GALAXY S4/GALAXY S6|e/Galaxy S7|e. It will NOT work on AT&T
More info on doing this: here
DON'T UPDATE YOUR BOOTLOADER TO ANYTHING AFTER THE LATEST BUILD AS OF 4/19/16
Disclosure: I do not own a Note 4. The exploit happened to be applicable to the Note 4, and we compiled it for your devices rather than not release it at all. This seems like a reasonable and friendly thing to do for the community. I can't help you root or teach you how to use ADB. It's important you have the ability to do these things or research them a bit before blindly using this. I am very familiar with Samsung however, and time permitting, will do my best to help anyone having issues.
You should not run this if you don't understand it. For those who are capable but need some help go here
ROOT REQUIRED, we aren't responsible for anything you do with this.
You NEED a MicroSD, and it WILL be formatted during this process.
YOU MUST DISABLE REACTIVATION LOCK OR YOU WILL HAVE ISSUES!!!!!!!!!
You can download the eMMC brick bug check app on the Play Store to verify your CID starts with 15. If it does, you are good. If not, it will not work.
UPDATE: Anyone having issues with the "this is for samsung devices only error, please the fix attached to this post
Download
The code below is NOT a script, you must enter the commands manually.
First you must unzip the file.
Code:
adb push unlock_n4 /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp/
chmod 777 unlock_n4
chown root.root unlock_n4
./unlock_n4
Allow device to reboot. After full reboot, power down and pull battery. May need to run it twice if it doesn't work after the battery pull.

once you are comfortable with adb, the instructions in OP are a walk in the park. Read the other thread I linked to and try some adb commands like

it's easy , just give it a try first.

Metro, T-Mobile SiM Configuration Questions

I'm trying to diagnose an issue I'm having with my Metro (MetroPCS) SIM card. If anyone is using their X Compact on Metro or T-Mobile, could you please run the following command and let me know what the output is?
adb shell getprop ro.semc.version.cust.active
The output should be 3 digits. Mine is currently blank, so I'm trying to determine if it's because of my SIM card.
Additionally, could you go into the service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*) > Service info > Software info, scroll to the bottom and post the Current Modem Config value (I'll also need to know if you're using T-Mobile or Metro)?
Knowing this information will help me figure out my problem. Thank you.

Probably not, but I don't know for sure. Comparing the two files, the T-Mobile file is smaller and what is shown is not readable by me (encrypted or binary blob). I just thought that it would be loading. If you run the command I mentioned, I might be able figure out why it's not loading. Running the following command would also help me out:

Ticwatch Pro 4G

Anyone able to get the TICWATCH PRO 4G Chinese version into English with google support? The Ticwatch Pro ROM flash apparently does not work with the 4G hardware. I could do with out the eSIM funtion but would like a watch that is usable. Any Ideas?

Heard from Mobvoi.
"Currently the engineering team is working on the ticwatch pro 4G international version. They haven't inform us when it will be released and when will the Chinese version of ticwatch pro 4G be able to flash to an international version. Thank you so much for your understanding"

That would be awesome! ?

I just ordered one from eBay canada

There seems to be a sales by MobVoi on 3/8 in China on TicWatch Pro 4G so the volume should go up. It is also now sold through Xaimi and should further make it more popular.
As said, I bid on Pro 4G and will receive one from a Chinese eBayer. Will post more when I receive it (5 to 8 days shipping). I hope to use the eSim as well.

I received the TicWatch Pro 4G this afternoon. As there is no International ROM for this yet, I checked the forum and found the instruction of updating the Chinese ROM into international version. After several hours of TWRP flashing, disabled the Chinese WearOS store and install the regular WearOS, it is now running properly with all function active. Google map shows pretty fast GPS signal, and the compass seems to be sensitive as well.
I will call T-Mobile when I have some time to see whether I can activate this eSim. I did find the IMEI (no EICC or UID, yet) , so it should not be a problem. TM has the DIGITS subscription for shared number phone/message/data for $15 with $5 discount for group plan. Hope it will work, and that will be handy.

eSIM would be nice, but the Chinese tic watch as is is unusable, no Google services, while the is a Chinese version of the wear os app... It must be side loaded. No ok Google, no maps, no Gmail, lots of useless Chinese apps everything in Chinese.
Anyone know if it is possible to flash part of the ROM to get language support and basic Google services?

Thank you for reaching out to the Mobvoi support team!
Ticwatch Pro 4G is designed to be used in China mainland. And it can only support Chinese（language.)It can't support to be switched into any other language.
Which website did you buy the watch please ?
Looking forward to your reply.
Best regards,
Ticwatch team.
==========================
I have basically followed the instruction of how to convert a TWP Chinese ROM into global WearOS, and fix the input language issue (just had to sideload English GBoard). Not sure about the g-ok yet. There is no NFC or google fit issue at all. With all connection active (BT,Wifi, cellular) and always on display turn off, it still had 86% after about 12 hours, so not too bad. TM has activate the eSim EID, I will you know about the compatibility as the connection/cellular still say not activated...need to activate it through some Tic app. Will post the result once I find more time on this side project.

So you have already received your watch and flashed it? What method? The only thread on flashing here in xda for the non 4g model and members write the the rom is not compatible with the 4g model due to different hardware. That is why I created THIS thread separate from the 93 plus pages of issues with the regular tic watch pro. Please post your flashing method and resources. Would be appreciated. Thanks.

I spent almost an hour on the phone with TM, and concluded that an app is needed to activate the eSim even after TM has successfully activated EID and verified the paired # working. I guess I will wait when there is more time to investigate this.
Here is the process that I have done to convert TWP 4G into Google Wear OS (based on collected info from a few sites):
0) boot into Recovery with modification mode using TWP twrp-3.2.3-catfish.img
1) rename/mv these Chinese WearOS stuffs to something else (so you can recover back to Chinese WearOS easily without flashing the whole ROM)
file: /system/etc/sysconfig/cn_google_features.xml
directory: /sysyem/priv-app/PrebuiltWearskyHeadless
2) get the Google Play store PrebuiltWearsky.zip ZIP from http://drive.google.com/open?id=10hRF0uU8zqA2c-GIG1xzOV-Hdf68hdnE
Unzip files/directories to system/priv-app/PrebuiltWearsky by keeping the directory pattern.
3) Sideload the Google English keyboard (GBoard_xxxxx.apk) so you have the option to switch to English keyboard. Sideload other language keyboards if preferred (adb install Gboardxxxxx.apk). Anyone can suggest how to swap out the Chinese voice assist to English will be great.
4) Factory reset and pair with Google Wear OS. The difference with Chinese Wear OS and Google WOS is there is additional "Google Wear OS" at the lower portion of the main screen.
Won't be able to do much as works are piling...have fun if you have a TWP 4g.

Hi at all,
I have a Chinese Ticwatch Pro 4g and I was so stupid to flash the international rom from Janjan.
Now I'm back at stock rom Chinese, but with the wrong one. I can't see no esim. Is it possible to react, or has anybody a backup for me?
Thanks

This is from my TWP 4G when I received it, after TWRP 3.x.x

Good luck!

THANK!!!!!!! SO MUCH!!!!!! It works. International language selection one would expect. Did as you said.
ADB DEVICES
;;confirm connected device
ADB reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
;;confirm reconnected in bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
;;unlock bootloader
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-catfish.img
;;twrp recovery will boot
ADB devices
;;confirm recovery mode.
;;on watch goto MOUNT and tic SYSTEM folder
ADB pull /system/etc/sysconfig/cn_google_features.xml
;;makes backup copy on pc current directory.
ADB shell
rm /system/etc/sysconfig/cn_google_features.xml
;;delete chinese file
adb pull /system/priv-app/PrebuiltWearskyHeadless /PrebuiltWearskyHeadless
;;for backup
adb shell
rm -r /system/priv-app/PrebuiltWearskyHeadless
;;remove PrebuiltWearskyHeadless
;;extracted PrebuiltWearsky.zip
ADB push -p PrebuiltWearsky/. /system/priv-app/PrebuiltWearsky
;;factory reset
;;in twrp did wipe advanced dalvik, cache and data
;;on phone remove all versions of wear os app CN version and regular, instaled GooglePlay version of wear OS
;; reboot system.
Worked for me. Google Pay set up easily and tested it today at a restaurant in Buenos Aires (a new for me and for them)
I had some flashing, watchface only, issues that went away after a couple factory resets.
be sure to reboot into bootloader from TWRP and not system ... in bootloader
fastboot oem lock
Thanks again to TEDLIN
Any ideas on GA? gboard can be found where? THJANKS

I have the original ROM, only modified the PrebuiltWearskyHeadless (removed as well as cn_google_features.xml file) have the eUICC assistant app still but all in chinese.

Thank you so much for the details. It really helps

Maps installed for watch playstore shows current city but not location. ..".waiting for location"
not sure where to get gboard english ... the gboard app seems to be for the phone ...different name than GBoard_xxxxx.apk
Also no "ok google" voice command like I had with my moto 360 . Assistant when long pressing top button is chinese.
I had some flashing, watchface only, issues that went away after a couple factory resets.
to fix maps YES, wearskyheadless must be removed
adb shell
cd /
/system/priv-app/PrebuiltWearskyHeadless2/oat/arm
rm PrebuiltWearskyHeadless.odex
rm PrebuiltWearskyHeadless.vdex
CD ..
rmdir arm
cd ..
rmdir oat
rm PrebuiltWearskyHeadless.apk
cd ..
rmdir PrebuiltWearskyHeadless

Thank you so much to share the step.
Would you mind to share a copy of the Google English keyboard apk, please? I am looking for it on google but could not find a proper one.
Thank you again.

I spent almost an hour on the phone with TM, and concluded that an app is needed to activate the eSim even after TM has successfully activated EID and verified the paired # working. I guess I will wait when there is more time to investigate this.
Here is the process that I have done to convert TWP 4G into Google Wear OS (based on collected info from a few sites):
0) boot into Recovery with modification mode using TWP twrp-3.2.3-catfish.img
1) rename/mv these Chinese WearOS stuffs to something else (so you can recover back to Chinese WearOS easily without flashing the whole ROM)
file: /system/etc/sysconfig/cn_google_features.xml
directory: /sysyem/priv-app/PrebuiltWearskyHeadless
2) get the Google Play store PrebuiltWearsky.zip ZIP from
Unzip files/directories to system/priv-app/PrebuiltWearsky by keeping the directory pattern.
3) Sideload the Google English keyboard (GBoard_xxxxx.apk) so you have the option to switch to English keyboard. Sideload other language keyboards if preferred (adb install Gboardxxxxx.apk). Anyone can suggest how to swap out the Chinese voice assist to English will be great.
4) Factory reset and pair with Google Wear OS. The difference with Chinese Wear OS and Google WOS is there is additional "Google Wear OS" at the lower portion of the main screen.
Won't be able to do much as works are piling...have fun if you have a TWP 4g.

If you visit this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gboard
It will point to you WearOS keyboard:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/gboard-the-google-keyboard-android-wear
You can also extract the WearKeyobar app in \system\app of the TWP Bluetooth and load it into 4G version, so it will boot up with English keyboard option (removethe ..\app\WearPinyinKeyboard if you don't need it)
I have received TMobile confirmation that current TM has no tool to activate eSim, and they are considering WearOS app.
Also, I am not sure whether I have time to mess around with 4G watch, and possibly just restore the Chinese ROM and put it on eBay or Amazon and go back to my heavy-duty CASIO Protrek. So far, I am happy with it only has to be charged every 2 to 3 days on regular usage.
Good luck with your venture of TWP 4G.

Hey does that still works for Wear OS H? I tried on my C2 and it still could not be paired with Google play version of Wear OS app, pretty weird. Should I still use the Chinese version of wear os app?

I have the same problem here. I guess it may be caused by the system updating. I will do the factory reset and try again.

I have done many factory resets and always the blinking. Only today noticed "system update downloading" after long download I got "update failure" it tried again but I got the blinking again. will revert to the original chinese rom and try to update there and than add prebuiltwearsky.
