[Q] BOM - Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have found that the internet explorer will not display the maps on the radar loops from the BOM website below. It will do the still images but not the loops. Is there another explorer I can use?

HTC homeplug weather problem

HI!
I've got a problem with updating weather conditions on HTC homeplug.
I live in Novo mesto in Slovenia, so i added <city name="Novo mesto, SI" locationcode="EUR|SI|SI000|NOVO MESTO"/> at HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml.
when i want to update it says: "Unable to retrive data for selected city. Select here to retry." But when i go on www.accuweather.com and i search for novo mesto it shows weather conditions.
So...why the weather data is shown on accuweather.com but on my device its not working? I've got working internet connection on my M600.

Same pb, a lot of questions and no answeres
The main problem is that the HTC home plugin gets data from htc.accuweather.com and not www.accuweather.com.
I'm from Évora, Portugal and I also have that problem. I use the forecast extension with firefox and it's ok, when I added my city to the xml file and got that problem I searched the forum and found that was the problem.
Waiting for a fix ou a patch.. :\
If you check the last version of accuweather included in HTC home change the string "locationcode" for "location=" you must put the same string.Edit the original included and write exactly the string it works perfect even for me living in a small city.

How can I update the xml? When I edit it on a pc I can't write it back to the device? At least not when I try to copy the edited file through vista MDC.
Cheers, CT

How did you do that? It is write-protected file that can't be deleted or modified. There must be a way to modify even system files, so can anyone show us the way?
Total Commander works for me, it has a nice notepad app. Just edit the file.

Total Commander doesn't work at all. First, it can't change the attribute from Read Only to non-Read Only. Secondly, the notepad can only support files up to 64K and so it cannot even open the file, as it's much larger.
Have you actually done this? Can you give a step by step? Perhaps it depends on the ROM.
EDIT: The only app that can do this is Resco Explorer.
Limited cities supported by htc.accuweather.com

I have done something similar with Total Commander 2.5 beta, which CAN change file attributes (can't remember if previous versions could). I have removed the read only attribute, then copied the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file to my PC, edited it there and put it back to the Prophet. Now the new cities DO appear on the list, but still the plugin WILL NOT retrieve the weather info.
This is because the plugin queries htc.accuweather.com (and not www.accuweather.com), which does not support all cities. To test if your location is supported, browse to the website with internet explorer ON THE PROPHET (I repeat, use the browser on the prophet, not a PC) and test if your city is included. I suspect that only the cities in the original xml files are supported.
Also, check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187&highlight=Pocket+Hosts
If you try it, I would recommend using the manual method since I don't know if the CAB will also work on the prophet.
Personally, I have not tried it yet. If you do, please report.

ROM Update over Memory Card for T3333 Clone

Hi All,
Excuse me if i create a new thread for this old subject.
I created this because of two things.
1- To Help any one in the same case and can't find a solution to update his mobile in case we find a solution.
2- To find a way to Solve my problem.
The problem showed up when i did the following:
A- I bought HTC T3333 clone (with NO Camera Button) from china by mistake.
B- USB connection was working fine.
C- I pressed on (VolumeUP + VolumeDown + Power) to check the KITL mode and it was in Disable mode (Good for communication with PC).
D- BY MISTAKE, i pressed VolumeUP instead of Removing the battery (to avoid losing the USB Functionality).
E- Now, if I need to load any other ROM to the phone, I have to use HARDSPL first whitch requires ActiveSync to be in place.
Because KITL mode now is not in disable, NO USB connection will take place any more.
The phone now can't be updated or connected to any PC.
There is only one way remaining to update this Phone is to use any official .BIN file through Memory card (this is rare to find).
My Question now is:
1- Is there any ability to disable the KITL mode so we can HARDSPL the device and load whatever ROM we need?
2- If not, Is there anyway to Convert any wanted .NBH file to a loadable .BIN to be used for update?
Thanks in advance for any help provided and sorry for posting again....
I think there is NO Way as no body till now reply to the POST.
OK, It seems that the only way to upgrade this kind of Phone is to do one of the following:
1- Search for FLASH.BIN file over the net (No success till now - Not found).
2- Some one to help us to do one of the following:
A- Posting a Kitchen for extracting the FLASH.BIN file from any ROM.
B- Teach us what is the contents of this FLASH.BIN file and just brief us How to extract this file from ROM with the use of any current tools available in other posts.
Hope to find answer here.

I spent 10 hours yesterday trying another scenario of performing HARDSPL (Method for jockyw2001) to the phone through (ActiveSync over BlueTooth Connection).
I success only to establish the connection between the phone and the Active Sync.
But i failed to HARDSPL as it always giving me "INVALID HANDLE" for all (Reading and Writing) functions.
Also, I can't determine the kind of the boot loader as it is totally different than the known Three Color screen.
Once press the "Windows logo" + "Volume Down" + "Power" then i got a screen saying that:
"
this operation will update image on this device
press volumedown to update from pc side
press volumeup to update from sd card
press other key to cancel
"
Because there is NO way to communicate with the PC and there is NO HARDSPL for this phone, the first option is killed.
To use the second option, we have to have a folder on the SD card named "UPDATE" and includes the file "FLASH.BIN".
Who can HELP.
You can't use rom for original HTC mega T3333. Your clone isn't same hardware, only apparence is same of Touch2. For flash rom you can use only mamifacturer's rom or cooked rom for your clone. Warning but you device isn't 3g and radio for Mega not work. Please refer this page:

Thanks m8.

I got a half solution...
FIRST EXTRACTION
1- Rename Flash.bin to os.nb
2- Run "osnbtool -sp os.nb"
This will extract the file to:
A- os.nb.Header
B- os.nb.BIN.NB0
3- Run "osnbtool -sp os.nb.BIN.NB0"
This will Expand the file to:
os.nb.BIN.NB0.OS.NB
4- Run "nbimagetool os.nb.BIN.NB0.OS.NB"
This will extract the file to:
A- uldr.bin
B- xip.bin
C- imgfs.bin
D- msdos16bitfat.bin
Like that we will have the "imgfs.bin" ready for extraction and cooking
SECOND COOKING
1- Run "IMGFSToDump imgfs.bin" to extract "imgfs.bin"
2- Run "xidump -build xip.bin" to extract "xip.bin"
3- ....... (Continue your normal Cooking).
THIRD RECONSTRUCTION
1- Run "BuildOS.exe"
2- Run "ImgfsFromDump imgf.bin new-imgfs.bin"
3- Run "snbtool -c os.nb.BIN.NB0.OS.NB 2 imgfs_new.bin"
4- Run "osnbtool -extra os.nb.BIN.NB0.OS.NB.NEW"
5- Run "osnbtool -2bin os.nb.BIN.NB0.OS.NB.NEW.EXA"
6- Run "copy /B os.nb.Header + os.nb.BIN.NB0.OS.NB.NEW.EXA.BIN FLASH1.BIN"
7- The newly generated .BIN file from the last step will be YOUR NEW FLASH.BIN file
8- Copy the newly generated .BIN file as "FLASH.bin" to SD Card under Directory Named "UPDATE" ...(Done)
THE PROBLEM IS:
"Even" if I do NO MODIFICATION to the ported ROM, always "BuildOS" run with error
"The system can't find the path specified"
.....................
so the rest of the steps is just in HOLD
.....................
This is your turn now to find a solution
Hello,
Our Russian friend have cooked a ROM for the T3333.
EDIT : Saw the original english firmware link also (but can't post it :/).
EDIT2 : Q : How to put back KITL in disabled mode ?
Cannot post a link so search the dealextreme forum for a thread named 'T3333 only Russian' The link to d/l the firmware are there.
Used Google to translate.
Maybe you could change the Russian language to English and update the phone?
How about upgrading with the Russian ROM the do a CLEAN BOOT to get back with the original WM6.5 ?

English ROM (MTK only): uploading.com/files/7f64cc9f/UPDATE.rar
1. Format the card in FAT32 "standard cluster size.
2. Download archive and unpack, rename FLASH.bin to flash.bin.
3. On the CF in the root folder, create "update" dir (just created, not copied from a computer) and throw the file there flash.bin.
4. To enter firmware. On the phone off: Hold the button icon winows "+ volume down + switch button.
5. To start the firmware push button volume up.

1.when i switch on the phone it takes 2 or more mins to startup.
2.after startup phone works fine,but when the device goes to standby mode it power off completely and i have to take battery to power on again.
Any idea how to fix this?
***********************************************************************
I have fixed this
what i did was press hold volume up and down keys + power

after restarts
my phone is working fine as usual.
The first launch after the firmware is really long. Follow-up should be normal. Try hard reset.

Android not yet (and getting less likely every day I guess), but it should be possible to put a Czech ROM on your phone.
You can get a original ROM from one of our Czech users (he just dumped and rebuilt it) here:

If your phone is clone chinese you can't use original or reconstruct rom for mega original. Clone isn't same hardware. If you try you brick your phone
thanks all :-(

Solution
Hola, yo compré el mismo dispositivo, en una página china, desafortunadamente pasó lo mismo con el kitl, pero ya lo arreglé, primero intenté remover la batería interna, pero es casi imposible, así que decidí intentar combinaciones de teclas, usé <vol+> + <vol->+< turn on >
y salío el menú del kitl, que dice que para desactivar se usa el botón de cámara, pero no lo tiene, así que por casualidad presioné el botón de logotipo de Windows, y booteó, luego lo conecté a la computadora y ¡oh sorpresa! se puede volver a sincronizar.
Hi, I bought the same device, on a page china, unfortunately it was the same with the KITL, but I fixed it, I first tried to remove the internal battery, but it is almost impossible, so I decided to try key combinations, I used <vol+> + <vol-> + <turn on>
and left menu KITL, which states that used to disable the camera button, but it does not, so I accidentally pressed the Windows logo button, and boot, then I plugged it into the computer and surprise! can become synchronized.

[Q] SGT 10.1 P7500 - ES file explorer fail

Hi,
I have been using ES file explorer successfully on my tab during the last weeks. Then today is seems like it will not scan in the lan section.
Before it worked like a charm and showed all my shares - also on different network.
I tried unistall and install again - still not working. Tried to delete cache - no effect. My shares are working - i can access all of them from my SGS II via ES file explorer.
Any suggestion for having it working again?????????? or ither having same problem???
Unfortunately ES File Explorer is not deigned for honeycomb. I think its pathetic that there isnt even one tablet app available for accessing network shares. Its really sad.

[Q] File Expert cannot access dropbox

I have been using file expert long time. I am very like it.But somehow after updating to 5.0.0, the Dropbox can not access anymore. It bring browser app and open an authorize page. Click allow button, it stuck on this page forever.
Back to 4.2.9, it is working.
I stopped using File Expert, the prompts for upgrading to pro and follow me on twitter/fb got annoying. Root access also got removed from the free version a while ago. I switched to ES File Explorer and it does the job much better.

Android auto oreo 8.1.0 restrictions, root it?

Hello,
I recently installed my headunit for my ford focus (seicane: 8-core 1.5GHz T8 A7 CPU, 2Gb RAM, 1024*600, 10.2 inch)
It came with some default apps on it that cant be removed, one of wich is bootanimation, i downloaded the bootanimations app to download some others but it cant replace the bootanimation or get the newly downloaded bootanimations to show up in the bootanimation app, after alot of digging off and on the web i came to the conclusion that my problem is that i don't have acces to the root folder (view only, no write rights). Also in ES file explorer i cant set root permissions.
These are restrictions i do not want to work with, i have tried kingo root apk but that didnt work, the app just crashed and nothing happend when i pressed one click root.
Can anyone help me here on how to be able to overcome all these restrictions set by the manufacturer?
The system also tells me the app to view downloads is disabled (when downloading from google drive), yet when i download a file from chromebrowser i can view it using ES file explorer in the downloads folder.
I made several pics but i can't post external links yet due to new account..
I'll PM them if you need to see them
My headunit runs android version 8.1.0 (oreo),
MCU version: T8.3.19-3-80-043101-180525
System version: V9.3.1_20180518.095309_ACX13
Kind regards
