can't boot into recovery (TWRP, CWM different flashing methods -- nothing works) topic

hey all, im stuck running the jedi elite rom (apps constantly FC, laggy, bulky) and so I downloaded AOSB rom. I booted into recovery, which was TWRP 2.6.3.8 i believe, maybe .9. I made a full backup, then I tried to install TWRP 2.7. I flashed the .zip file from the official site, then after flashing, i went to main menu, reboot, then i hit recovery. when it went to reboot into recovery, it got stuck on the black startup screen, it says

RECOVERY BOOTING.... RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING Set Warranty Bit : recovery

this didnt bother me, as thats what it normally says when it boots up, but this time it was stuck. I downloaded Odin 3.09, then downloaded the TWRP 2.7 .tar and installed that, it booted into my old rom, and i tried to boot into recovery from there, same result. I used odin to boot back into the rom, downloaded goomanager, and downloaded the older 2.6.3.9 recovery and everything installed fine as far as i can tell, rebooted into recovery, nothing. I used odin to flash a CWM recovery, same results. It seems recovery is broken. Can anyone help me? I just want stock, AOSP android, tired of TouchWiz's bullcrap.

[Question] Hook methods for private hack in VAC games topic

So its the usual question: What kind of hooks/methods can still be used in a private hack, without getting banned by VAC?

There plenty to choose from, but when I read through the available information, all of them seem do get you a ban.

For me particular is interesting to "deactivated" or "jump over" some code in the game. That is done fairly easily with patching a few instruction in memory.

But I pretty sure changing instruction in a game method gets you detected quicker than you can say ban. Especially if its at the beginning of the method.

So the key point is: How is it possible to manipulated the behavior of a game, without getting detected? By Vac in this case.

Thanks for reading!

[Help] Current Methods of Converting Arm to Hex? topic

Hello, I've been learning a lot from you guys. Thanks for putting up so much information.

I would like to know what are your current methods of converting Arm to Hex? So that we can replace the codes correctly once we have located them using IDA Pro.

I do not know if any of you still use this, but I've found a program called Arm_Asm Converter. The program does not work. The converter .exe file does not give any results. When I try running the "4 bytes.bat" manually after putting codes in the "test.txt", it gives:

Code:

---

0: Warning: end of file not at end of a line; newline inserted
1: Error: bad instruction 'call sub_7D5030'

---

I tried searching but it you do not mention this program on this forums? Do you have other ways to convert the code?

Thanks!
