There are several old Gigabyte Motherboards like the GA-MA Series which uses their BIOS Included Q-Flash Utility for upgrading. This tool tries to access an attached USB Device in a file browser way to give you the choice on which file to flash. Most of the time, you won't be able to access your drive, as it will only be shown as "Floppy B". In truth, this means your USB drive is formated the wrong way: You should have only one partition on that stick, with size LESS than 128 MB and FAT as file system. Yeah, I figured that out the hard way ^^'. It will then be shown as "HDD 0-0" in Q-Flash and will provide your files for easy upgrading 🙂

[Docker] Upgrade Sonarqube from 5.6 to 6.2
I just updated Sonarqube from 5.6 (LTS) to 6.2. Before that, I upgraded all my plugins in Sonarqube itself and made an backup of my installation and database. Then, I replaced image: sonarqube:lts-alpine in my docker-compose.yaml with image: sonarqube:6.2-alpine. I did an docker-compose up and it started, however, I had some errors so it just kept on restarting. Following this advice I then proceded to delete $SONAR_HOME/data/es/. I then restarted Sonarqube, which worked. I then pointed my Webbrowser to the URL of my Sonarqube Instance and added an /setup and allowed the Database Upgrade. After that, I had a working new Sonarqube instance :).
[Win7] Upgrade Error in Android SDK for Windows
Recently I got an error on trying to upgrade my Android SDK, claming that I would not be able to access an URL. I was looking around the Internet and got the information that I should first upgrade the Eclipse Plugin. OK!
Upgrading AVT:
1. In Eclipse go to Help
2. Install New Software ---> Add
3. inside Add Repository write the Name: ADT and Location: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
4. after loading you should get Developer Tools and NDK Plugins
5. check both if you want to use the Native Developer Kit (NDK) in the future or check Developer Tool only
6. click Next
7. Finish and Restart Eclipse
Ok, that got my Plugin to the latest version. But I still could not upgrade to the latest SDK. And thats when I found out that you need to start the SDK Manager as Administrator (right click, run as Administator) - and voilá: Upgrade successfully.

HTC Universal
I found a "bricked" HTC Universal without - everything.
So I decided to piece it back together.
First thing to find was an USB Cable to recharge the battery.
Working is an normal Mini USB Cable, even tough the connector looks different.
After that, I found out that the HTC was a brick.
So to unbrick:
get mtty1.42.exe, enter bootloader mode , (Power + Light Bulb + Reset)
1. Stop Activesync USB connection
2. Uni : Reboot Bootloader then Connect USB
3. PC : Run mtty1.42.exe
4. Choose USB in "Port" (Reconnect if can't find/reconglize USB and try remove sim and sd card)
5. type : task 28 55aa
6. Press Enter
7. Cause DOC reformatted, so there's no rom in DOC ,try reflash any rom that you like .
For task 28 55aa in mtty success , will show the message (attachment )
DONE .

Under Windows Vista / 7 you need to use these drivers and stuff: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313001&highlight=flashing+vista
After that, we want to upgrade to a new rom.
I choose Maxstegis German Rom ( http://rom.maxstegi.de/index.php )
You should go for Version 6: http://rom.maxstegi.de/downloads.php?view=detail&df_id=12
And the Radio Image 1.18.00: http://rom.maxstegi.de/downloads.php?view=detail&df_id=14
Go into Bootloader Mode, start the Version 6 and it will upgrade.
Do not do anything to the Radio, we will change that soon...
Get the HTC Universal Unlock Tool to unlock your SIM:
http://buzzdev.com/m/files/view/HTC-Universal-SIM-unlock
Install Instructions:
1. Backup your phone (not necessary, but advisable).
2. Remove your SD Card.
3. Enter bootloader mode on your Phone. To do this, simultaneously hold down the backlight key (“bulb” key, next to volume key), the power key and soft reset the phone. Your phone screen should clear, and you will see very faint writing saying “serial”. Let go of buttons etc.
4. Connect your phone to your computer using the USB lead.
5. Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe program – this will reflash your phone with necessary software required to enable the unlocker.
6. Wait patiently.
7. Once the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe upgrade completes, soft reset your phone by pressing the soft reset button on the back of the device [if the flash has been successfully applied, you should see that you now have Radio version 0.00.00]
8. Allow your phone to reboot. Once it has, connect to your PC using Activesync, and copy the UNI_Unlock_v1.exe program onto your phone. Alternatively, copy it to an SD card and insert into your phone.
9. Run UNI_Unlock_v1.exe on your phone. Wait patiently.
10. Once the process completes, soft reset your phone.
11. Process is (hopefully) complete!

After that, boot loader Mode, flash the new Radio Firmware, after that you can reflash the ROM aswell, so to be sure that everything worked.
Thats it!
Enable Wireless G (802.11g) Support in HTC Universal Pocket PC Phone
HTC Universal also kwown as Qtek 9000, T-Mobile MDA Pro, Orange SPV M5000, O2 Xda Exec, i-mate JASJAR, Dopod 900, Vodafone v1640, Vodafone VPA IV, E-Plus PDA IV, Grundig GR980 and etc as it’s be re-branded and marketed by different vendors and network operators. One major disappointment and weakness of HTC Universal is it’s only support 802.11b-compatible technology, and thus unable to connec to WiFi G (802.11g) network.
It’s possible to make the HTC Universal based Pocket PC phone to compatible and able to connect to 802.11g-only access points by a registry tweak, but the speed would still be the same as 802.11b (11 Mbit/s).
The registry tweak is to change and add the following registry decimal values using a registry editing tool like the PHM Registry Editor at your HTC Universal based Pocket PC:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TIACXWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMask=1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TIACXWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMaskG=8
After adding and editing above registry key, soft-reset the device.

If you ever need to hardreset your Device, press the two "-" Buttons on the Keyboard and the Reset Button while the Device is turned on. A screen will come up and ask for the reset, press... o to confirm.
