Wizzupnot exactly cheap, also needs this https://gsmserver.com/sigma-pack-1-activation/00:03
Wizzupthread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/update-on-sim-unlock-for-the-d2g.1793199/00:04
WizzupI kind of doubt that radiocomm will help with unlocking the sim/network, but at least I'll have it avail for some inspection purposes00:07
Wizzupwindows xp ie cannot go to firefox website to download the installer, heh00:28
kshatriyait's good to minimize one's exposure to that, to a few minutes a day max01:01
kshatriyai have spinny opengl-es triangle via SDL2.0, finally ;-;02:14
kshatriyahowever as soon as libGL.so is relinked, SDL2 uses gl4es instead - despite me setting envvars to specify gles02:19
kshatriyaexport SDL_VIDEO_GLES2=102:20
kshatriyaexport SDL_VIDEO_GL_DRIVER=libGLESv2.so02:20
kshatriyaexport SDL_HINT_RENDER_DRIVER=opengles202:21
kshatriyaok i got it working02:23
kshatriyastill here Wizzup ?03:05
uvosWizzup: so i managed to get several people to reply on the mz617 files09:57
uvosWizzup: unfortionatly everyone seams to delete files of this kind :(09:57
uvosWizzup: dose twitter have something like a pm system?09:59
uvosWizzup: there would be https://twitter.com/tweetofjohnboy?lang=en still to contact09:59
uvosmaybe you could do that as maemo-leste09:59
uvosalso if someone has instagram: you could contact Norman Wayne Kent "nwkent15" who also downloded the files10:00
parazyduvos: I can send a Twitter msg if you paste the question10:35
uvosHi,10:41
uvosIm a dev from the maemo leste team https://maemo-leste.github.io/10:41
uvosWe are in need of the mbm file(s) (allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin) for the droid xyboard (MZ617 or MZ615), which we belive is contained in the archive Blur_Version.11.7.279.MZ617.Verizon.en.US. Unfortunately, all links to this archive are dead and as they are signed so we cant reproduce them. You posted on https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/xyboard-official-fastboot-files.1756100/ indicating that you downloaded this file in the past,10:41
uvosif you still have a copy of the files posted there please provide them to me.10:41

uvosyou still have a copy of the files posted there please provide them to me.10:42
uvosslightly better10:42
parazydok11:14
Wizzupuvos: too bad @ mz617, glad you're still on it :)11:50
Wizzupuvos: did you see that sigmakey thing? I'll install that after my radiocomm experiments11:50
uvosyeah11:50
uvoswonder how this works11:51
uvosmaybe the whole thing is like the password for motorla engeniering tests11:51
Wizzupuvos: well it has the algo to generate unlock codes based on IMEI it seems11:51
uvosright but they must have the alg. to do this  from somewhere11:51
WizzupI uh *cough* found some activators so it works without dongle I think, going to try it11:51
buZz:)11:52
Wizzupyeah, they seem to get it from everywhere, they probably have people working on that stuff fll time11:52
Wizzupget it from everywhere => support everything11:52
uvosthe pw for engeneering tests on motorola devices is allways 000000 :P11:52
uvosbtw11:52
uvosWizzup: yeah11:52
WizzupI did try 000000 as unlock code and didn't work11:52
uvosWizzup: yeah not for the modem11:52
uvosfor the test apps11:52
Wizzupright11:53
uvosWizzup: so are planing to decompile the app to find how the generate the code?11:53
Wizzupuvos: well, first I will look at radiocomm, then see if I can make the app work without paying, then I will see if the lock code gen works, and then we'll see...11:55
Wizzupit works over usb I think to usbip is also possible, set up some cloud instance and people connect their maemo device to it11:56
Wizzupuvos: but yes, that makes sense I think12:04
Wizzupwell usb passthrough to windows xp is no fun13:36
kshatriyahow can i setup usb passthrough?15:04
Wizzup?15:04
kshatriya < Wizzup> well usb passthrough to windows xp is no fun << do you know a link to instructions to set up a 'transparent' usb bridge between two devices15:05
kshatriyawebsearch is useless now15:05
parazydhttps://www.linux-kvm.org/page/USB_Host_Device_Assigned_to_Guest15:07
Wizzupyou mean usbip15:08
Wizzupjust google for that15:08
Wizzupand usbredir15:08
kshatriyawebsearch is useless for me15:09
kshatriyabut usbredir may be helpful ty15:09
kshatriyai didn't know you were using a VM15:09
Wizzupyes, I just need it for some sw to unlock the d3.15:09
Wizzupit's otherwise not related15:09
kshatriyain good news, we can tell sdl to use opengl-es instead of opengl: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/51511737/127415218-39175088-599d-4cf3-bd4b-e2864b4fff50.png15:10
Wizzupis that the sdl 2d engine using gles?15:14
kshatriyayes15:15
kshatriyanicer than 4-8 fps in software :)15:16
uvosyeah for 2d stuff it has 2 backend15:17
uvos3d applications just ask for a surface15:17
uvossorry i thought you where talking about the latter before15:17
kshatriya'top' now reports 70.5MB free, sorting by SHR memory use doesn't show processes totalling more than ~200MB15:53
kshatriyahildon-desktop 16124, xorg 7520, hildon-status-menu 6760, mce 2504, upowerd 2328, udisksd 1724, bash 159615:54
kshatriya795MB used15:54
Wizzupyes, free and cached are separate on linux, this has nothing to do with leste per se15:55
kshatriyacan't compile stuff, for leste, in this state though15:55
kshatriyag++: fatal error: Killed signal terminated program cc1plus15:56
kshatriyacurious if maybe i did something bad to cause low memory, or if there's something besides rebooting to get back to ~190MB used15:57
kshatriyaupowerd has biggest RSS at 2395215:59
Wizzupagain, free and cached need to be combined.16:00
kshatriyahow would combining free and cached avoid or resolve the problem?16:02
Wizzupno, you need to first get a real sense of how mmuch ram is in use, and then look if that is enough for whatever you are compiling16:02
uvosfree -m look at available16:02
kshatriyaafter reboot free -m reports16:04
kshatriyaMem:            995         140         646          11         208         81816:04
Wizzupreboot will also mostly clear the cache, so that will void whatever you were seeing before16:04
kshatriya818 MB available16:04
kshatriyaand i can continue16:05
kshatriyawhich memory column in 'top' do you pay attention to?16:07
WizzupI don't use top for that, htop is far superior, or just look at free16:07
kshatriyai would like to see what process used up all my memory16:07
kshatriyawhich column in htop do you observe to identify a process using too much memory?16:08
kshatriyai see same columns VIRT RES SHR.16:08
kshatriyai would like to avoid rebooting as a solution to the occasional low-memory problem in maemo-leste16:10
kshatriyano userspace application appeared to be running besides osso-xterm16:10
Wizzup16:10 < kshatriya> i would like to avoid rebooting as a solution to the occasional low-memory problem in maemo-leste16:11
WizzupI'm pretty sure it's not leste that's causing you trouble here16:11
buZzkshatriya: ps aux16:12
WizzupIt could be kernel space pvr or something, but does not seem too likely16:12
buZzthat shows only osso-xterm? seems unlikely16:12
Wizzupin any case, not sure if we need to spend more time on this16:12
kshatriyatop SHR memory was upowerd buZz with 23MB16:12
kshatriyareported by ps aux16:13
buZzso, there -was- a different userspace application running ;)16:13
kshatriyawhat name should i use for applications launched intentionally by user?16:13
Wizzupmy brain hurts16:14
buZzanything that isnt the kernel = userspace application ;)16:14
kshatriyaok i wont misuse that word anymore16:14
uvosGreat i got kicked off of facebook for violateing comunity guidelines18:32
AaronBurr2+2=4?18:33
uvosso thats the end of that for several mz617 leads18:33
uvosAaronBurr: there are four lights.18:33
Wizzupuvos: how many lights do you see?18:36
Wizzupuvos: let me guess, not your real name18:36
uvosWizzup: i gues i called myself carl uvos, and used the @uvos.xyz email addr so not sure how they could have known18:38
uvosthats some serious privacy violation if they know thats not my real name.18:39
WizzupI did the same and they figured it out after I made some (required) photo18:39
Wizzupmatching it to some university website18:39
uvoscrazy18:39
Wizzupyeah, absolutely awful18:39
Wizzup(I wanted to keep in touch some folks who use facebook for everything, but alas)18:40
uvosi dont remember it being this bad when i lased used facebook (2014ish)18:40
AaronBurruvos: do you think it would be possible to run a droid4 off usb power without drawing power from battery and continuously depleting/charging it?18:41
AaronBurror is the only way to avoid battery degradation hooking up to 3.8v lab power like wizzup did18:41
uvosyes18:42
uvosi mean cpcap can be put into a state that powers the device directly18:42
uvosbut we dont want to do this18:42
uvosbeacuse android dosent and it changes electrical charectaristics of the the regulators18:43
uvosold motorola device could also be powered by connecting the id pin to 5v18:43
uvosi think d4 can too18:43
uvosbut at that point you might as well just wire something to the battery terminals18:44
uvossince its not standart usb anymore18:44
AaronBurrok thank you18:44
AaronBurrhttps://blog.workshoptwelve.com/2019/01/04/otg-usb-charge-hub-wtf/  this seems to indicate an otg mode can be triggered without any signalling.  do you think that applies to d4?18:45
AaronBurrwould be nice to get one of my tinier hubs into a package supplying +5v to both host and peripherals18:47
uvosclort: please stop changeing names18:48
uvosist annyoing18:48
uvosand just adds confusion18:49
Wizzupyeah I keep thinking we have some new folks18:50
AaronBurri'll test it and report back18:52
tmlindWizzup, uvos: don't have access to my mz617 right now, but pushed out my hacks so far to mapphone-v5.14 branch on github at https://github.com/tmlind/linux/commits/mapphone-v5.1419:03
uvosoh hi19:03
tmlindlcd backlight works with the regulator-fixed hacks19:03
tmlindhi19:03
uvostmlind: any idea on the hdmi audio front?19:04
tmlindno luck with the lcd bridge so far19:04
uvostmlind: ok19:04
tmlindno idea when hdmi audio broke, i recall it used to work just fine with lapdock19:04
uvostmlind: ok19:04
tmlindthe lcd bridge stuff produces some error, can't spot where the issue might be19:05
uvosok ill take a look19:05
tmlindyeah maybe you'll spot something :)19:05
uvosat some point next week liekely19:05
uvosim still hopeing that i dont have to do the dd install of the utags19:05
tmlindyeah i won't get a chance to look at it until in some days19:05
tmlindyeah bummer if we can't flash with fastboot19:06
uvosyeah i hope someone will provide me the file eventually19:06
tmlindyeah let's hope so :)19:06
tmlindso what's up with the fastboot version needed, what happens with old versions?19:07
uvosi tried various versions of mbm in the update files19:07
uvosbut the ones i have are not otg updates19:07
uvosbut full ones19:07
uvosthe otg updates at least parshally contained allow-mbmloader-flashing.mbm19:08
uvosbut no luck finding any19:08
tmlindok19:08
uvosBlur_Version.11.7.279.MZ617.Verizon.en.US.zip would be one19:08
tmlindok19:08
uvosthats the mz617 equivalent of where we got the mz607 file19:08
tmlindah ok19:09
uvosbtw https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/unpack_motoboot-c.3259841/19:12
uvos(not that this helps us in this case - but its interesting)19:12
tmlindyeah i saw that too, it did not unpack anything for me..19:14
tmlindor unpacked empty files19:14
uvostmlind: hmm yeah it gets the file length wrong19:18
uvosit extracts a mbm.bin for me but its to short19:18
uvosbut it dose contain the start of mbm19:19
uvosso its not to far off from reality19:19
tmlindyeah to me it looked like the header no longer contains the right info in the blobs, so i just used dd instead19:19
uvosok19:20
uvosbtw old motoboot.img is impossible to flash on later devices19:20
uvoseven if you downgrade mbm first19:20
tmlindprobably increments some efuse19:20
uvosevil :( they dident do this on d4/bionic19:21
tmlindyup :(19:21
tmlinduvos: you mentioned fastboot needs to be at least v30.0, what happens otherwise?19:22
uvostmlind: it needs flash:raw for some reason19:23
uvosto flash bspw19:23
uvosalso utags19:23
uvoseverything really19:23
tmlindoh ok19:23
tmlindwill try to add it over the weekend or something19:24
uvoslikely some bug they introduced before 8.10 and fixed some time before 30.019:24
uvosnot sure when exactly19:24
tmlindok19:24
uvosi just know 30.0 and 31.0 work19:24
uvos31 being the latest version19:24
tmlindyeah19:24
tmlindneed to go now, bbl hopefully19:25
uvosttyl19:25
uvosWizzup: so since archive.org stored the files from sbf.droidevelopers.org19:29
uvosWizzup: is it possible to search archive.orgs store for a file name?19:30
uvosie Blur_Version.11.7.279.MZ617.Verizon.en.US.zip arhived form any site that it crawled19:30
Wizzupuvos: I can ask (re: searching for filename)22:00
uvosWizzup: great22:25
