[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawkab:
sry for being rude and asking on someone else post,it appears for me that am having the same problem, i did like what Abu-7abash said,flashed the gold 2.0 then the beta 7,but still i cannot go to clock work mode,any suggestions...??
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
You can't boot into recovery from either one of those two kernels. You've to flash a 2.2 kernel (overstock) then reboot, now take off the battery and hold the power button and the volume one, when the vibrant screen appears release the power and keep the volume pressed. Now you're in recovery, from here flash whatever you wanted, then flash the Gold 2.0 kernel. Then reboot, all done.

The rom's developer said that the beta 7 kernel is currently the best for this rom, so after you reboot it's better if you flash that one using SGS kernel flasher. You don't HAVE TO though, Gold 2.0 works fine too.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawkab:
ok,i think i got your point,would you mind suggesting a 2.2 kernel (overstock) for me and i will be very very thankful,am new in these stuff :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Any version of this should work, go for the 1.5.2 under-volted one, the safest option ;)

From here

@ Abu-7abash

thank u thank thank u :D

this truly helped me out, am very greatfull
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomasitoc:
@abu-7abash

I read awhile back in the simply galaxy thread to flash a kernel to get recovery (maybe I misunderstood this).

Is there such a kernel that can do this? this way I don't have to flash back and forth different kernels to get recovery.

The damainGTO website , states that his beta 1 kernel works with CWM 3 . Actually I don’t get recovery, does that mean I have to use ROM mamanger app to boot into recovery?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
EB reported such a kernel but he also said it was in the beta stage and VERY buggy. So I'd stay the hell out of it. And to be honest, it's not that difficult to switch between kernels, the whole process takes less than 10 minutes. It's not like you've an update everyday ;)

Oh and again, a kernel with CWM3 won't be that much of a help to you as most of the updates you're gonna have will require a CWM2 recovery, so even if you were without the rainbow in a CWM3 kernel, you'll still have to flash a 2.2 kernel to update :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomasitoc:
what is the difference between a CWM2 and CWM3?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Two completely different versions of recovery, one designed for Froyo the other for GB.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomasitoc:
@abu-7abash

Thank you for the explanation.

Have you tried the simply honey rom?

If you've flashed it, can you give me your comments
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Ofcourse I have. It's a great rom both fast and smooth and can only get better with the new custom kernel coming its way. Plus it has huge support for international languages which is a big plus IMO.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomasitoc:
can u get recovery without flashing overstock?

GPS, BT, headset working?

I've got a vibrant , I noticed the simply honey is ported for i9000, will it work for vibrant?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
No you can't get into recovery without flashaing a 2.2 kernel, and even if you have it would be pointless as that working recovery would be of a 3.0 version which rules out about every flashable file ever working on, at this time anyway ;)

As for the i9000 port, Simply Galaxy is ported for the Vibrant from the I9000, so yes, that's what the port is supposed to do, make it work on the Vibrant that is.

HI

I have motorola Flipout on orange network.I took to 3 shops n they all kept it for 5 days to try n unlock it but none was successfull...

Is there any solution availablle to unlock it on XDA?

Thanks
[Flipout and Charm General] fivemin:
Hi oamalik,

I read several posts around and researched all possible answers.

I found that the flipout needs a 16 digit code and needs to be the new motorola type unlock.

I know that it's a hit and miss and some people have been lucky, some haven't.

I tried 2 weeks ago mobileunleash dot com and they took 2 days to reply, but the code worked perfectly. They have a support contact and it works nicely.

Hi, I've recently bought a Samsung Epic 4G with Schizopunk Epic Experience ROM verson 1.0.1

I've noticed that there has been many updates since this version but I'm completely dumbfounded as to updating this ROM. I didn't install the ROM myself so I can't really go into detail but I was hoping maybe someone here can help me update from version 1.0.1 to 2.0.08

There are plenty of sites explaining how to install ROMs, including this one, but I can find a thread on just updating the existing ROM to a more current version.

Step-By-Step would be great because I don't even know where to start.

Thanks in Advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bryanfritz1:
Well my friend I'm glad you decided on an epic. If its got epic experience 1.01 yes you are behind on updates, but you honestly need to read up on all the details of flashing roms and using cwm recovery first. There is many great devs and lots of tweaks and as you learn you will find its not very easy to really "brick" these phones. As far as a step by step guide, your probably not going to get one, but there are a lot of guides on how to accomplish steps to get you there. Good luck and have fun.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] laxwillsch:
I am not familiar with that particular rom but chances are the base rom has been changed so I would do a full wipe through clockwork mod recovery, you should definitely download titanium backup to backup anything you don't wanna lose. There are tons of threads about this. I would install the newest version of the rom just like if you were coming from stock. So find a guide for installing a rom and start from there.

Just wanted to inform everyone about an issue I had with my Transformer. I just received it today - beautiful screen and great device. After using it for a while I noticed a large spec of dust under the screen. After closer examination I noticed about 8+ specs of dust underneath. Looks like it either wasn't sealed properly or it was really dusty when mine was made. I can see them with the device on or off.

I almost ignored it but I can't - so it is going back.

Tried to exchange with Amazon.com - they can't even process an exchange right now since they are so far back ordered (apparently about 400+ still back ordered). They did put a note on my account and will allow me to exchange within 60 days when they get more though.

I also called Asus - they wanted me to send it back and issued an RMA - initially they wanted me to pay for shipping but they sent me a label after I explained I had had the device for only a few hours.

Dropping it off at Fedex to send back to Asus in just a bit.

I will keep everyone posted on how it goes...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gmcbay:
Mine has only one speck of dust but it is a fairly large one. It was there out of the box so I'm assuming they do have issues with dust at the assembly plant... Please keep us updated on how the process goes. I'm on the fence with mine as to whether to just keep it or send it back for an RMA because of the uncertainty in how long it may take to process a return when there is no extra stock to work with.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Scott21:
They said it will take 10-14 business days - really hoping it is sooner than that.

I will let everyone know when I get it back though - I am just worried the replacement will have another issue if they don't fix my existing unit. Kinda curious if they will just replace it or clean the screen somehow.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stcardinal:
My ex girlfriend use to work at ASUS and they were required to enter a pretty much white room with a makeshift hazmat suit, gloves and mouth guard. Basically they were dressed like white ninjas. I don't know how dust is getting in there.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Iguana775:
Dust ninjas? The evil enemy of the white ninjas.......
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ravynmagi:

Are you saying that ASUS doesn't offer cross-shipping? Ick, this might be a problem for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] FrayAdjacent:
Yeah. They call that a "Clean Room". Go figure.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rk-one:
As already wrote in another post, i had the same problem with all tranformers tried. I'm still waiting for next batch.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Scott21:
I think they might offer cross shipping (heard about that in the thread about bricked Transformers) but I didn't push them on it. I had a hard enough time getting them to pay for shipping. The 10-14 business days starts when they get the unit too - so it might be a while... Really hoping they were just padding the dates.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bills742:
I've got one beautiful spec of dust under my screen as well, aboout 1/2 inch from the bottom. :( Might try to live with it because I'm afraid of getting one with more dust under it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tehdoughnut:
I'm at a lost to what I should do. I also have a large spec of dust about 2"in from the bottom left corner of the screen. Pretty noticeable when it is on or off. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Nascar Dog:
Return it for replacement or refund.

Do not accept a defect just because supply is limited.

You will be reminded of this every time you use the device.

Wait for the next batch that hopefully have better quality control.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kilmar:
Ugh, dust under a touchscreen is my pet peeve. I have the Sony Touchscreen eReader and after about a year, there were dozens (more than 20) of dust particles under the screen. It was so bad, it became distracting to read. I ditched it for a Nook Color.

Hopefully I get lucky with my Transformer when/if I ever get one
[Eee Pad Transformer General] s13se:
I also have 1 spec of dust under the screen. :mad:

I didn't notice it at first because I was too excited when I got it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] killermojo:
Ugh, between all the issues I've read about (software and hardware) I'm a lil glad I decided to wait. This is the straw that breaks the camel's back for me. Here's hoping Asus and Google get their act together in time to take full advantage of Tegra 3.. Good luck with the first gen Transformer guys, you are true Android pioneers!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Scott21:
So - am I the only one that did an RMA with Asus for this issue? Anyone doing something about the dust or are you just living with it?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] s13se:
Have you sent in your transformer yet? Where is their repair facility? Thinking about sending mine in.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Scott21:
I sent mine in yesterday (see the first post for details) - the repair facility is in California. Like some of the other posters I am worried about getting one worse than what I sent in (or with other issues like dead pixels) but it isn't right to just accept something like so I sent it back to Asus.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mb2k:
well, count me in as another victim. got this one for my dad, and 1st thing i noticed was that the plastic sleeve was full of fingerprints. As though someone had handled the tablet before, but the asus seal was untouched on the box. On mine, the plastic sleeve was as clean as the display so I new something was up. Not only was there a spec of dust on the bottom right hand corner, there's also a dead pixel near bottom center.

My question is, do I return now and wait for restocks (got mine from BB 4 Bus) or do I wait til BB's return period is up? I've already given mine to my dad and in all honest, if I didn't look for it, I may have never seen them.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kamikazex:
add me to the club. im thinking about returning it to amazon. i also found a piece of dust stuck under my screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bills742:
In addition to my dust spec, there are also several dead pixels. Amazon could only offer me a refund because they don't have any in stock. I told them I'll wait until they have them in stock to setup a return. Also they said I could wait for the new one to arrive before I ship back the old one. better than the asus option because you won't be left without your new toy for however long they decide to keep it. Amazon better get them in stock before my 30 days is up!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Scott21:
Quick update folks. Shipped out my Transformer for RMA to Asus on Monday (5/2) using their provided shipping label - it arrived yesterday (5/4). It didn't show up as received by Asus until about 36 hours later using the repair status. Been checking my repair status here:

http://support.asus.com/repair/repairstatus.aspx?SLanguage=en

They show various repair states once it is in process:

Product Received > (Waiting) > Repairing > Final Testing > Packing > Ready for Shipping > Repair Finished

My Transformer is sitting in "Repairing" right now... will be really interested to see if they actually repair it or send me another though. Will keep you posted as things progress.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dec3ption:
Wait, they provided you with a shipping label?! I'm talking to them via e-mail right now about my light bleed issue and it sounds like they want me to pay to ship it to them...

Let us know how it turns out - I fear that I'll send mine to them and it'll come back with worse or new problem (dead pixel, dust, worse light bleed) so I have yet to decide if I want to RMA it. Although if I can get them to pay for shipping, I'll probably give it a shot :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Scott21:
I ended up calling them instead of e-mailing. They initially said I had to pay for shipping. I was really polite and explained I shouldn't have to pay to get a device repaired that I have only had for 3 hours. I also said I would have just exchanged with Amazon.com but nobody has any stock. They put me on hold and offered to send me a shipping label.

I too am worried about getting a worse one sent back. I plan on sending it back to Amazon if it is still bad after the RMA.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dec3ption:
Yeah I ordered mine from J&R and they don't have any stock. I started with ASUS on the phone, but they asked that I e-mail them pictures of my light bleed. I might just pay for shipping this time, but if I get a unit that's still faulty, there's no way I'll accept having to pay for shipping again...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Scott21:
Well - they examined my RMA return pretty fast. Just got an e-mail from Asus. They said they will be replacing my Transformer with a brand new identical unit. Unfortunately they don't have any in stock but they expect a shipment next week and will send me one then.

I will let everyone know when they ship out the replacement...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] djklmnop:
Hm, so it looks like the screen isn't sealed by any means right?

When I first got mine, there wasn't a single dust spec. I'm really anal about stuff like this. Then today I see a small spec. Not enough for me to return it, but it looks like eventually dust is going to build up somehow. BOo HOO
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Scott21:
I only had mine for a few hours so it is hard to say. Maybe some of the first batch were not sealed properly?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] atxer:
I too have one small speck that shows when the background is really light. This is poor QC by Asus. There was also quite a few dust particles underneath the packaging. Never seen this issue before with any electronics brand. Looks like they are shipping em faster than they can make em. Pls let us know your RMA status. I might end up sending it back too if it gets any more 'dirty'.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Scott21:
My RMA was shipped out from Asus yesterday (5/10) - getting it back on Friday (5/13). Didn't take too long once they had it in hand - just had to wait a few days while they had more replacement units shipped in. Total time out of hand will be 5/2 to 5/13.

One item to note is I didn't send in any accessories with mine (as requested). The agent told me the new one would ship without accessories (and possibly without an original box). They said I could get it new (in box) if I sent back the accessories (and box/documentation) or I could just have them open it up and just send the tablet. I said just the tablet would be fine - we shall see what they actually send me.

I will let everyone know if the new one has issues when I get it - fingers crossed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Drakknar:
Same here, I found some dust under the screen.

Too bad I can't RMA my device as atm ASUS Italy's repair facilities don't have any replacement units or repair parts so I'll have to wait a few weeks :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yutlin:
Single spec of dust under my screen as well (top right corner). Noticed it immediately after removing protective plastic. Haven't decided if I want to RMA or not.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
I wonder if Asus gets their screens from the same place Apple does. The iPad and iPhones suffer from the same dust and light bleed issues.

Maybe it just inherent in using a Gorilla Glass overlay.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Nascar Dog:
Maybe they use gorilla's to assemble them. :eek:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] markteacher:
Check the seal around the outside of the screen between the screen and the casing. It appears as a black raised line all the way around but I had 2 units which were not sealed along the upper left hand side, not a massive gap, but big enough to slide a piece of paper into, and certainly big enough to allow dust in during normal usage.
