Make Any Windows 7 Upgrade media work as a Full Version. - Off-topic

Hey Guys,
I found a way to get any version of Windows 7 upgrade disk to act as a full version. So this means that you can install it on a Virgin untouched Hard drive without having to install a previous version. And save money too I might add since your upgrade media will act as a full version. AS A NOTE: WHEN YOU INSTALL AND ASKS FOR THE SERIAL. DO NOT ENTER ANYTHING AND KEEP BLANK.

Registry hack
Open regedit.exe with Start Menu Search and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE/
Change MediaBootInstall from "1" to "0". (Double-click it and then enter 0 in the dialog that appears.)
Close RegEdit.
Open the Start Menu again and type cmd in Start Menu search to display a shortcut to the Command Line utility. Right-click this shortcut and choose "Run as administrator." Handle the UAC prompt.
In the command line window, type: slmgr /rearm
Then tap ENTER and wait for the "Command completed successfully" dialog.
Then, close the command line window and reboot. When Windows 7 reboots, run the Activate Windows utility, type in your product key and activate windows.
You're all set. You're done. Congratulations.
Let Me know if you tried it. It worked for me fine.

Sony Ericsson Update Service & Windows7

Hi,
I want to use SEUS on my Windows 7 64bit machine.
I tried different compatibiliy modes but still see a plain screen without any buttons or text
It seems to be a Flash issue. What could I do? Uninstall FLash10 and go back to 9?
No. Try using the Administrator account. Go to Start, type cmd, right-click and choose run as admin, confirm, type net user Administrator /active and hit enter, log off and then log on with Administrator account and try SEUS. Afterwards disable Administrator account from your normal account by typing net user Administrator /active:no in the command prompt. This procedure enabled me to run SEUS properly under Vista. I think it's the same for Win 7 as the priviledge system is the same.
I have exact the same problem as Raggi73.
PC: Windows 7 64 bit
Phone: XPERIA X1i
Problem: Can't update.
The phone's built in update service (Filed under Start > Settings > System > Windows Update) never worked, but Sony Ericsson's Update Service also doesn't work.
I follow al the steps and things are going fine when I start the phone with the 'volume down' + 'power' button. Yes, I see those ugly coloured bars and it displays the text 'Serial'.
Now here's the bug; I can hook up the phone with the USB cable and it even displays 'USB' instead of 'Serial', but freaking nothing happens!
I tried your Administrator by-pass Firefall, but unfortunately it didn't work :'(. Does anyone know what's going wrong?
Try using Google Chrome as default browser - Worked for me

[How to] Install android_winusb.inf, create adb shell loop, and root your phone

First off you need to have Android-SDK installed on your computer. I will not go into details about that process but here is the link to Google's official install page. Navigate to the folder you placed Android-SDK and run the SDK Setup.exe and make sure that you download the usb 3.0 driver software from the sdk updater window. I recommend erasing any HTC Sync software or drivers so that you can start from a clean point then reinstalling them.
Once you get the SDK installed from Google you need to go in a modify the USB 3.0 .inf file. Navigate to the folder you placed the Android-SDK and one step down you will see a folder that is named usb driver. Open the usb driver folder and then open the android_winusb.inf file in notepad. It should default into notepad when you click it. Next you need to copy and paste this text into notepad.
Find the section labeled [Google.NTx86]. At the end of that section, add the following lines.
;
;HTC Incredible
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C9E
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C9E&MI_01
Then find the section [Google.NTamd64]. At the end of that section, add the following lines.
;
;HTC Incredible
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C9E
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C9E&MI_01
Again just copy and paste. I have attached pictures to show where these need to go.
So now we have the USB driver on the computer and ready to be installed once you plug-in your Incredible.
On your Incredible press->Menu->Settings->Applications->Development->(check)USB debugging. Plug in your Incredible and you should get the found new hardware notification, select the No, not this time radio button, Install from a specific location(Advanced), Don't search, I will chose the driver to install. You should now have "Android Composite USB Device" in the white field selection box, click have disk and browse to the location of the android_winusb.inf file and click ok. Click next and it should install the USB driver you need for ADB to work properly.
Now if you click Start->(right click)My Computer->Properties->Hardware(tab)->Device Manager, you should see Android Phone at the top then when you open the tree you should see Android Composite USB Interface.
This will enable you to use the Android SDK from a command prompt to access your Incredible.
Once that is done open a command prompt by clicking Start->Run(XP) or the search box in W7 and type CMD(in W7 you need to right click command prompt and run as admin.). Then in the command prompt window type; cd (your file path to Android-sdk). now to test it type adb shell and press enter then reboot recovery and press enter. This should reboot your Incredible into recovery. (You can also type reboot bootloader to get to that screen.)
Once you make sure that is working press vol. up and power, then select reboot with the power button. GO back into Settings and deslect the USB debugging check box. Now we need to get adb shell to loop so that it can catch the Incredible in its flawed sequence that allows us to access the phone in recovery. Navigate your command prompt box to your tools folder and then follow these directions courtesy of prerunnerseth over at AndroidForums.com
type edit loop.bat
in edit enter the following
Code:
@echo off
:TOP
adb shell
GOTO TOP
press alt-f then x
hit enter for yes
Here is a link to Androidforums.com with two different methods for gaining root access on your phone.
This is a great 10 min. video on how to root as well.
I hope this helps clear some confusion up for those that can't quite get the Android Composite USB interface going. This credited to all parties involved and is just a collection of info.
So what you are saying is we need to take it off of debug mode before looping the shell command?
Hmmm...I had mine in Debug mode every time (failed every time, too). Ok...headed to BB to get the PNY card and try again w/o debug mode on.
Here's the android_winusb.inf file for the Incredible.
Switch this file out with the one that's inside your AndroidSDK/usb_driver folder.

Here's the adb shell loop for Windows.
I placed it inside my AndroidSDK/tools folder.

I hope this helps!

Report back. Rooting the DI will only get simpler and more reliable the old fashioned way: a LEAK from HTC!! If we had something to flash from fastboot or recovery without first obtaining root, we would all have root except for those who didn't check their MD5's, in which case they'd brick. So this new (not you, OP, or you Unrevoked team, but this exploit in general), ****ty, hard way = relatively safe, totally unreliable. Old way = almost 100% reliable but little room for error.
jesus this is frustrating

It is supposed to say that... and you can't install the android sdk you can only open it... its is just a basic dos applicarion with a GUI front of it if I'm not mistaken so just try redownloading it
Try following the 10 minute video exactly on a cpu that does not have the sdk already on it. I used the same exact sd card and could not get it on my pc that already had the sdk , sync , drivers on it. I followed the instructions on the 10 minute video using the sdk and htc sync from the video link on a machine that did not have them prior and it worked first try using the first (adb shell) method. I think it had something to do with the prior sdk install I had.
another let down, tried with the 10 mins video also, oh well

Right click on Android adb interface and then select update drivers, then follow the instructions above for installing the android_winusb.inf file. As stated before SDK doesn't actually "install' it is more on an interface that you can open to download the new sdk's for app development and debugging. you should get the black box and another box that is called Android SDK and AVD manager. Within that window you should have these options on the left; Virtual devices, installed packages, available packages, Settings, and About.
Edit; Did you follow the instructions about editing PATH with the C:\Android-SDK-Windows\tools directory path?

Change language !!!

Hi guys!
I bought the Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910T), and it did not come with Portuguese language ('m from Brazil).
I've tried to translate app's (morelocale2) already replaced the ROM for the newest, but it worked!
Is there any way to put the language?
Is there any custom ROM or not, that works for my model?
Thank you!
Additional language added for Note 4 SM-N9100G without root
Hi,
I face the same problem with a Note 4 SM-N9100G trying to install a additional local language without to root the phone and to affect the warranty. The solution found on Internet is given below:
1. On Windows PC download and install the latest Android SDK Manager (Google for it).
2. Unlock the "Developer Option" on your Note 4 device.
3. Install MoreLocale 2 from Google Play on your Note 4 device.
4. On your PC go on the <Platform - Tools> subfolder from SDK Manager folder and launch a command prompt window here (press simultaneously shift and right click then select from drop menu).
5. Connect the Note 4 to PC though the USB cable on USB debugging mode (accept the debugging action from your PC on the popping window from your phone).
6. To ensure that the devices are properly communicating type <adb devices> on the Command Prompt window from your PC and you shall see your device listed.
7. Launch the adb shell from same Command Prompt window with the command <adb shell> then enter
Note: the top of the command prompt window shall indicate "adb shell" mode upon command input.
8. Input the following command line exactly as is given in the Command Prompt window then press enter (take care on CAPS LOCK):
pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
9. If you don't receive any error on the command prompt window then you manage to unlock the MoreLocale 2 application on your phone.
10. Go to your Note 4 launch MoreLocale 2 and select the language you want to load, set it as default then you are done.
Hope that this will help.

Honor 3C Vibrate only when connected to pc for flash

Hello, I've searched everywhere but can't find a solution to my problem. every bricked honor 3c that I read can be flashed, but when I connect mine to the pc to flash it sp fails and the computer makes a disconnected device sound.
does anyone have any idea how to flash the stock ROM on this phone in this state? I'd really hate to throw it away because of a software problem.
thanks and have a great day!
with windows 10 or 7?
if you use win 8 or 10 :
1- Open a Command Prompt with admin privileges. In Windows 10 or 8, just press the Windows key + X and then select “Command Prompt (Admin)”.
2- Type in the following command and press Enter.
bcdedit /set testsigning on
You should receive “The operation completed successfully” message. If you see a message saying the value is protected by Secure Boot policy, then you have to turn off Secure Boot in the UEFI/BIOS, before disabling Driver Signature Enforcement.
3- Close the Command Prompt and restart your computer. From now on, you will be able to install or run any unsigned driver without problems.
If you need to enable the Driver Signature Enforcement again, run this command instead:
bcdedit /set testsigning off
source
for win 7 reinstall Handset WinDriver.

I don't know how you got faulty drivers from my problem. my problem isn't drivers, they're installed correctly, my problem is the phone not staying on enough for the software to flash before it reboots.
