Android (Yuphoria) stuck in bootloop without recovery and ROM & files cannot be written My Yuphoria 5010 got into bootloop after installing a custom ROM. My friend tried to fix it but deleted the recovery following a tutorial.   Now the device is stuck at the boot logo.  Is it possible to hard format the device to the default ROM anyhow?  Update: This is not a normal bootloop. The problem here is the ROM could not be rewritten. Any writing attempts are being failed. The device was infected with a malicious adware which couldn't be deleted and that's the reason I tried to format the device. Is there any way around if the writing modules fail?
Yu Yuphoria bricked after installing custom recovery and boot file My YU YUPHORIA got bricked while I was working with it. I want to install custom ROM into it for that I am installing custom recovery and boot file but the file that is found on Internet was not working and that's why I am stuck with company logo. I can't go into recovery mod, neither it boot, and USB debugging mode is turned off. I tried to install fresh ROM from fastboot but after installing every driver properly command prompt is showing "waiting for the device". Please sugest some way to get rid of this problem.
Where to get school zone shapefiles? Census.gov usually makes available the shapefiles containing school zone boundaries. Due to the US government shutdown, census.gov is down. Does anyone know where to download a recently archived copy? If a Windows shop moves "everything" to the cloud, does it still need Active Directory? Taking a spin off of this question:  in a new direction for 2014.  Taking into account a basic Windows infrastructure:   domain controllers Exchange 2007/2010/2013 Sharepoint SQL File Servers / Print Servers AD Integrated DNS AD authenticated 3rd party devices (let's say 802.1X for networking and maybe some content-filtering, etc.) AD/LDAP authenticated "administrative" functions on IT apps/hardware/etc. perhaps some KMS stuff throw in a CA if you'd like home grown apps 3rd party in-house apps   Now, let's rip it all out and decide we are going to the cloud.  We've contracted to move Exchange/Sharepoint/File Services to Office 365.  SQL will now be hosted as well on  something like Azure.  We've gotten away from the need for AD-DNS and simply run everything via a simple Windows DNS server.  We still need 802.1X and would like SSO if possible to our various cloud apps.  Home grown and 3rd party in-house apps would likely stay, but have the ability to use internal user databases instead of AD authentication  The question is...do we really need Active Directory at all?  Or more to the point, AD on-premise or even hosted via Azure or similar (ADFS) or running ADDS on a hosted VM through Azure or similar.  Could/Should we look to something else like a 3rd party SSO option such as  or similar that can provide SSO functionality even if it is as simple as LastPass or similar for each user?  What kind of legitimate needs does AD fulfill if everything else in the cloud?  Could a MS-centric infrastructure get away with not having AD at all if they move everything that previously relied on AD to SaaS offerings that didn't rely on AD authentication? How can I see the phone number dialed after I initiate a call? Combinatorial argument for $\sum\limits_{k=i}^{n}\binom{n}{k}\binom{k}{i} = \binom{n}{i}2^{n-i}$ I need to show that $$\sum\limits_{k=i}^{n}\binom{n}{k}\binom{k}{i} = \binom{n}{i}2^{n-i}$$  I know that $\displaystyle \binom{n}{k}\binom{k}{i}$ is counting the number of ways to pick $k$ elements from $n$ and then $i$ elements from those $k$, so $\displaystyle \sum\limits_{k=i}^{n}\binom{n}{k}\binom{k}{i}$ is counting the number of ways to do that $\forall k$.  I know that $\displaystyle \binom{n}{i} = \binom{n}{n-i}$ and that $2^{n-i}$ is the number of elements in the power set for $[n]\setminus[i]$.  How do I show that both sides are equivalent? I'm stumped on this one. Could anyone give me a pointer in the right direction? Could anyone provide an example of a nonempty subset $U$ of $R^2$ such that $U$ is closed under scalar multiplication, but $U$ is not a subspace of $R^2$ How do I rotate an object along it's own axis (windmill) I'm trying to rotate the blades of a windmill for an animation but the windmill is already at an angle. When I keyframe it on it's own axis (after pressing control + alt + space) and rotate it the blades spin inwards during the animation before coming back at the end. I've tried locking the other axis but that keeps the blades from rotating back to the right orientation. Also, whenever I rotate the object 360 degrees it turns the 360 into a really small number (0.0001) so it plays forward hallway then backwards (with a 180 degree keyframe halfway). Any help would be appreciated!. So, when I point a laser at a piece of wire (pointed at a specific angle), a circle of light appears on a wall behind it (see image below).

No output from goroutine How to fix a grub boot error : "symbol 'grub_calloc' not found Just ran the latest batch of updates on 20.04 (Xubuntu), and now I'm getting a GRUB error: symbol 'grub_calloc' not found  I'm dropped into the 'grub rescue' shell, but have no idea what to do there that might be useful. To me, 'symbol not found' implies some sort of build error with the grub package, but I don't really know how grub works. I noticed that this update also included 'firmware', not sure if that could be related. Is my best bet just to boot from a live CD and see if I can roll back the update to grub somehow? Edited to add: OK, thanks to lots of people ! Here's what I think I now understand.  On 'non-UEFI' systems, grub is installed in two separate parts. The first, most basic, part is the part that is started on bootup. But for most of it's functionality, it needs the second part. These parts must be aligned - neither part must require any functionality from the other part which is not actually there. The visible, run-time problem occurs when these parts are not aligned, and the function grub_calloc is not supplied. It's not 100% clear to me if grub_calloc belongs in the second, larger part or the first. I would have expected the second, but the grub build system is a work of considerable art, so I don't know :).  The root cause of the problem is that the grub update has not ensured that both parts have been updated. Ideally, failure to do this should cause grub installation to fail, and the system should be reverted to a safe state. This does not happen. This is actually still a bit of a mystery to me. All that the update needs to do by default is put each part where the current parts are, because obviously that worked. If the install locations/drives are configuration - driven, and one of these locations can't be reached, then somehow a mismatch has arisen between that configuration data and reality. This might not show up as a problem as long as no new dependency was introduced between the parts.   All flavours of solution involve reinstalling grub to ensure that the two parts are aligned. It's not actually necessary to go back to the previous version ( although that will work ), because it's not the grub runtime per se that is broken. There are numerous ways to achieve this, depending on your environment, but running the Boot-repair live disk worked for me. It may be useful, for the purpose of avoiding such a misalignment in future, to ensure that the grub installer on your system is configured to install to the correct devices. This update resolves some important bugs (). If you have reverted grub to resolve this problem, be aware that you are exposed to these issues. Improper integral $\sin(x)/x $ converges absolutely, conditionaly or diverges?  We have that $$\int_1^{\infty}\frac{\sin x}{x}dx$$ $$u=\frac{1}{x}$$ $$du=-\frac{1}{x^2}dx$$ $$dv=\sin xdx$$ $$v=-\cos x$$ $$\int_1^{\infty}\frac{\sin x}{x}dx=-\cos(1)-\int_1^{\infty}\frac{\cos x}{x^2}dx$$ $$\int_1^{\infty}\frac{\cos x}{x^2}dx&lt;\int_1^{\infty}\frac{1}{x^2}dx$$ So it converges. Now I need to find out if $\int_1^{\infty}|\frac{\sin x}{x}|dx$ converges or diverges. PHP: how do I copy a temp file upload to multiple places? Most of the time, I use good and well interchangeably.

Induction proof: n lines in a plane Assume that there are $n$ infinitely long straight lines lying on a plane in such a way that no two lines are parallel, and no three lines intersect at a single point. Prove that these lines divide the plane into $\frac{n^2+n+2}{2}$ regions. (Hint: Any two non-parallel straight lines on a plane must intersect at exactly one point.)  Can someone tell me where to start here? I know to prove the base where $n=0$, but don't know how to proceed.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

How would you design this?   What data types would you use in the database (assuming MySQL, possibly in a different timezone that the JVM)?  Will the data types be timezone-aware? What data types would you use in Java (Date, Calendar, long, ...)? Whom would you make responsible for setting the timestamps&mdash;the database, the ORM framework (Hibernate), or the application programmer? What annotations would you use for the mapping (e.g. @Temporal)?   I'm not only looking for a working solution, but for a safe and well-designed solution. How do I wire two lights with a switch?
