I couldn't get CWM to update from 3.0.2.5 using either the zip or Odin. I don't get any errors, but I'm stuck at 3.0.2.5. What's going on?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
I just odined back to EC05 factory stock. What I did was I rooted using the old cwm 3.0.0.6 & then flashed the new clockwork. Its a regular zip file. Since your already on 3.0.2.5 all u have to do is flash it
[Epic 4G Android Development] spartanhooah:
Ugh, going all the way back to stock is way too much of a pain in the ass. Thanks for the help anyway, though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Look at the text you quoted one more time - he said all you have to do is flash the zip

In other words, you do NOT have to Odin back to stock, so it is NOT too much work
[Epic 4G Android Development] spartanhooah:
Apparently neither he nor I could read too well, then, because I said that I tried both methods - flashing the zip and installing it with Odin. Neither worked.

Any other ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
But your response to his post was that Odin is too much of a pain in the ass - implying that he suggested that as a solution when he actually said the opposite. I wasn't offering advice...

But it sounds like you probably should start over, beginning with a fresh download using a computer. Your current tar may be just corrupted enough to cause minor problems, which could go unnoticed most of the time but completely impede progress on this one issue. Also, be sure to download the CWM flashable zips for the same reason. If all else fails, go back to step one
[Epic 4G Android Development] spartanhooah:
Re-downloading the zip (grabbed the md5 too just in case) worked. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I have a question. I have beem getting MD5 mismatches so I can't restore my nandroid backups I made with 3.1.0.1. What could possibly be the cause? TIA
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Well, could be a multitude of reasons. Could be something getting in the way of the nandroid backup process, or a bad original download, or it could just be a one-off fluke. I've seen md5sum's go bad for no apparent reason at all, sometimes it's just luck of the draw lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Thanks for the reply thomasskull! Seems like it may have been a fluke but I have had two. Maybe all of my bouncing between Gingerbread and Froyo while doing all of this beta testing I am doing....comes with the territory I guess.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Ya could be, and yes it does as unfortunate as that is :-(

[HTC Inspire 4G] P00t:
im trying to transfer a new rom(327mb) to my SD CARD to flash but its taking way toooo! long.. it receives by 500KB/S now, before it was MB/S. its taking 10minutes to transfer it. is something wrong with my SD card?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ranklepup:
How good of a computer do you have? Try not multitasking like 10 things at a time and transferring if that doesnt help, you must have a lot on your sd card try clearing uneeded files.

If that doesnt work, the final solution, buy a better sd card...
[HTC Inspire 4G] zuriken:
Welcome to Class 2 SD cards. Now you know why they're so inexpensive. :P

I had that problem when I backed up my SD card before making it a gold card. Everything came off the card at 18MB/s but it went back on at 600 KB/s. The card has continued to work fine since, though.

I was wondering how to make a custom boot splash picture like dfgas did. Ive looked and cannot find a way to make it
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Not sure how to do it but I read that it's not easy and you can brick your phone if you do it wrong. And not soft brick either. Like paperweight brick.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Are we talking about replacing the boot animation or the samsung logo when it first starts up. I am thinking the samsung logo but this talk about hard brick kinda makes me want to make sure

Tap-a-Talked
[Samsung Mesmerize] veteranmina:
Oh, well thats not a good thing. Well I have edited the splash screen once by accident and it made it into a paperweight. Somehow i was able to unbrick by constantly trying to go into download mode and using odin to flash back to stock 2.1. But if its a really risky thing i'll take very very extra caution to this one. I just wanted to know how to do it
[Samsung Mesmerize] veteranmina:
We are talking about the samsung logo

Ok thanks. Just wanted to make sure.

[Samsung Mesmerize] droidzach:
Check the fascinate forums there is a thread on how to do this. there is a brick chance but its totally possible. I was gonna try to take the black google screen that you get when shutting down phone on com rom. If I get a chance to do it this week ill post how it went.

[Samsung Mesmerize] droidzach:
Just tried it (still conscious too :) ) it took me about 15min including downloading and installing heimdall and drivers, finding my logo, flashing phone and doing terminal commands. I used terminal emulator rather than adb. Just follow instructions and its actually really easy. Make sure follow directions to install heimdall so you get the right drivers. Ill get some video of it and post it when I get a chance later

[Eee Pad Transformer General] androidmonkey:
Mine came in today, Im debating on returning it before even opening. I started doing research and it seems the Android for tablets is still not up to par with the competition. I was an early adopter for Android (had the G1) but im have second thoughts about being the guinea pig for the tablets.

Anyone have the same feeling and decided to keep it? I may just try it out and return it but I need to see what Amazon return policy (restocking fee, etc)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fone_fanatic:
I'm loving mine. I rarely use my laptop now. Overall its stable, occasioanlly the stock launcher and browser will fc but not enough to be an issue.

Now "the competition" may have more apps specifically for tablets, more are showing up for honeycomb.

Give us some idea of what you plan on using it for/ what you plan to get out of it and might be able to directly respond to your concerns.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] newtybar:
Why don't you just open it and find out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
As if there weren't enough useless threads like this already. This is the equivalent of posting 'ive just woken up' type messages on facebook. Totally pointless. Just return it if you dont want it. You dont need to tell the whole world.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
bah double post..clicked submit twice =/
[Eee Pad Transformer General] androidmonkey:
Ive been waiting on a good Android tablet to come out for awhile now. I almost jumped on the Nook Color because of the IPS screen, but I wanted a bigger screen.

I plan on using it for

1.) Browsing the web

2.) Watching Youtube videos

3.) Watching Netflix

4.) Hooking up to HDTV to watch MKV and XVID files

5.) Playing the occasional game

6.) Reading Comics

Now, #3 has me concerned because Ive read that Netflix doesn't work on Honeycomb. Has this been hacked yet? #4 has me concerned because of codec support and the fact this tablet may not be powerful enough for certain files formats. Anyone have experience with this? I have a MacBook Pro that I use maybe once a month, if that, mainly because I use my desktop most of the time.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Budadank:
Return it and stop crying into your milk.

I love mine and have also used Android since the G1. Considering how far Android has come since then, I have all the more confidence that Honeycomb will be much improved over the coming months.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] turbulent28:
you havent opened it...?

not trying to come off as a ****, but maybe you need to open the thing and be your own judge. You decided to use your own credit card, pick your own vendor, now open it, play with it, and then decide.

Its only a tablet.. Not a baby. No remorse if you give it back.

I think a lot of these threads are popping up from posters who are looking for someone to make up their mind about this unit, when it should be themselves who choose..

my 2 cents.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] androidmonkey:
Any experience with Asus and updates? Will the Transformer get Ice Cream Sandwich? I guess only time will tell...

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Srikar_NBK:
1) Has been bad for me on 3.1. There is no single browser in my experience, which supports flash and doesn't lag.

2) Excellent for me in the app

3) Doesn't work. Being skeptical, I want to think nothing might work out soon.

4) mkv's are not supported properly, as per the Xoom's video playback thread. As suggested in other threads, Tegra 2 is not a platform you want to have, for video playback.

5) Games are very good on this thing.

6) I read a couple of books. The experience is very good.

BTW, not to be disrespectful, its ridiculous to have a gadget just beside you, and contemplate returning it, based on someone else's subjective experience, without you trying it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] androidmonkey:
Thanks for the post. I sort of jumped on ordering this without fully researching what it was capable of doing. I figure if my Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant can play back the video files I have, why not a "more powerful" tablet. If Netflix and HDMI output of HD doesnt work or is poor, then thats a show stopper for me. Tablets are media consumption devices.

Why did I order it? Because I was tempted at the time and they are hard to come buy so I ordered it. This was before 3.1, which I thought would fix a lot of these issues.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
cause you havent even open up the freaking box and then asking if you should return it, thats why its so unreal......whats the point of purchasing it and not even trying it out..and then havent the balls to post this stupid thread asking if you should return.....hey next time LIE and say you open up and try it and youre not happy.......;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] androidmonkey:
Dude, the point of this thread is to get questions answered. Id rather not go through the hassle of an opened return if certain things dont work. Why open it when I can ask others who have it already if these things work or dont work...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
Then what you shouldve done was do some research before purchasing it..... Dude Go back and return it and get yourself a ipad2......:rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] androidmonkey:
I dont want an ipad2. Quit trolling.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fone_fanatic:
Ill tell you this. After I ordered mine, although I did research it, I seemed to find all the negative threads while it was in transit. Screen of death, non-responsove touchscreen, speaker popping etc. These all made me feel a little bit of remorse,but after using it everything went out the window.

And in everyone else does have a good point. It is saying a lot that you have the device and won't even open it up. Gives off the position that you've already set it up for failure in your mind.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] androidmonkey:
I can understand that. Im still waiting on a response from Amazon to verify if they have a restocking fee. Sometimes they do, sometimes they dont. If not, im giving it a try. Im a big fan of Android, so no, I dont want it to fail. Yes, we are early adopters...etc etc. An iPad is not an option for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] andyzarins:
if I was you I would open the box. I have been very happy with the asus. Video playback is excellent however you do have to reencode mkv. Files for the the Asus.Does not bother me as how many 6 or 7 gb files fit on a portable device. After reencoding video you are looking at a File size of 1.5 to 2 gb. Plus the quality of playback is excellent and still good if you connect your Asus to the TV. Updates have been good from asus approx every 2 weeks or so at the moment. Loads of aps on the market. It is rare I come across an application that does not run well on honeycomb. Zinio has just launched for honeycomb for popular mags plus you have kindle for books. Open the box I am sure you won't be disapointed. Plus you can always pop it on eBay the future if you get bored of it.

Best tablet I've owned yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
The best thing to do, if possible, is to purchase 2 or 3 different tablets from places which let you return them for a full refund (no questions asked) and see which work for you. My wife has an I pad and my brother an ipad 2. I own an Archos tablet and have used the Acer A500 for about two weeks. I played with the Playbook for a little as well. Nothing compares to what the transformer does for me.

In today's day and age, there should be no reason for buyers remorse - but that being said, you will ALWAYS find something you don't like about a certain product. It's up to you to decide if that "issue" is with putting up with. On my Archos, the limited app storage space (less than 250mb) and low ram (256mb total) were issues I couldn't deal with considering I multitask and purchase a lot of apps. The ipads, well, I just don't like their limits but I will say that the apps on them are great (but we are now getting some amazing Honeycomb apps). The Acer was nice, but some of it's issues (like not being able to tether with my phone) were hugely problematic and it had some screen and software problems that were quite an issue for me. The playbook... meh, it's too small for what I need and way too limiting in the app dept.

See what works for you my friend! Remember that there will always be a better device around the corner and you will always have likes and dislikes no matter what you decide on.

Good luck :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 4dthinker:
The MKV files can be played by MoboPlayer, a free app you can download. When it asks you to download a codec pack DO IT.

MKVs won't be helped by hardware decoding, but up to 720 they should play fine with software decoding. The app will ask you to hold down on the file until a popup come up to let you choose software decoding.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ToyTank:
Based on your list, you should get ipad2...i hate apple. If you arenot satisfied, amazon has no restocking fee. Amazon service is top.

You're probably gonna end up debating to get the galaxy tab 10.1 since its closer to release date, I've ordered my TF from amazon and I can't wait, I already got the keyboard dock. I did my research and was going to wait for the galaxy tab 10.1 but none of the tablet on the market nowadays that support the track pad on the keyboard. To me that's the best feature I've seen. I own ipad 2 also but I'm getting sick of the whole ios thing don't like the fact that I hav eto go through itunes for everything. I'll say u should give it a shot.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
D'oh! i should have done my research before i ordered
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Budadank:
MKVs can be "reboxed" to MP4, rather than having to re-encode the video. The video is still h.264 inside MKV, so all that is needed is to rip it out of the MKV and put it into an MP4 container. The audio will need to be re-encoded but that's no where near as time consuming as video. There's a neat little app called gotsent (http://sentry23.googlepages.com) that will do this for you.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] androidmonkey:
So I decided to try the Transformer out (queue more flaming responses here).

1.) Browsing the web

The built-in browser is pretty nice. My WiFi seemed a bit slow at first but I hardly ever use WiFi in my house so this could be "normal". I also tried Dolphin HD which is quicker than the stock browser. I really like the thumb shortcuts in the stock browser though.

2.) Watching Youtube videos

Somewhat disappointed. I think the Youtube app needs to be redesigned and better optimized for tablets. Videos didnt seem to buffer correctly and 720p content was a bit jittery. I watched reviews on the Transformer on Youtube (yes, I did do research beforehand) which showed "Buck Bunny HD" playing smoothly in 720 and 1080p, not for me though.

3.) Watching Netflix

Hopefully Netflix releases the rumored tablet app soon.

4.) Hooking up to HDTV to watch MKV and XVID files

XVID plays just fine, grainy but that’s expected at such a high resolution screen. All of my MKV files played just fine but some had audio issues. I suspect this is because the audio codec was not supported on the device. I installed Moboplayer, which is pretty nice. I tried the MyNet Asus app and was able to see everything on my desktop computer that was being shared to the rest of my network. I wasn’t able to play any of my videos though, "Failed to load". Thumbnails of the videos showed up though. I installed UPnPlay app and this works surprisingly well. I have used Gotsent before to convert MKV to MP4 for Xbox. There’s a similar app called XenonMKV.

5.) Playing the occasional game

Played Angry Birds, looks like its optimized for tablets which is great. Plants vs Zombies though is blurry, hopefully they update the app and not release a separate tablet app. I like that Rovio didn’t do that.

6.) Comics look great.

7.) Gmail app is awesome.

8.) Build quality and hardware overall. Overall its solid but I do have some creaking in the upper corner where power button is. I guess the battery is on the right side of the device since it gets fairly warm in that area. I have light bleed in (3) areas. I did read about this when doing research beforehand. Does anyone not have light bleed? It’s only noticeable in complete darkness of course. A small thing but this irks me is when manufacturers put serial #s on a sticker for a $400+ device, especially a cheap sticker like on the TF.

----

Will I keep it, I don’t know yet. I need to test the WiFi out more and make sure it’s not an issue with my device.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
There is a tablet (well, Tegra) optimized version of the game out there if you search ... and it looks great on the TF.
