[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LycaonX:
I've been messing around with my SGT SCH-1800, I've had no problems wiping it, flashing it, etc. I checked out SpaceMoose's alpha port of Honeycomb last night (gah, that theme is DARK).

I reflashed back to stock and restored my backed up apps, no biggie. My issue is, I forgot to unroot before attempting to install the EC02 update and it failed, and now my SGT says it's already up to date when I know damn well it's not. I know it'll check again in 3-4 days but I'd like the update now so I can reroot.

On the internet there's a hint that allows you to force an update check by dialing #*#*CHECKIN*#*# in the dialer, but since I've got the neutered US version, the dialer is disabled. Is there any way to either a) enable the use of the dialer even though I can't and do not intend to actually make calls or b) trigger the update check some other way?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speldenaar:
Funny, never heard of the checkin.

Ps it's the other way around" *#*#checkin#*#*

Mine gave only "checkin succeeded" in the not.bar.

Try T9-dialer app from the market.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bugeyed1:
The Kindle app is cutting off text at the top or bottom depending on where the notification bar is. Do I have to go full screen with this app? Oh, just noticed it doesn't do this in landscape. BTW it doesn't matter which font is selected. Actually, the smaller the font, the more gets cut off.

Thanks,

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] MHBlink8:
The only way I have found to keep text from being cut off by the status bar is to go full screen. Depending on the book I'm reading, even in landscape some text will get cut off. The Nook app does not have this problem and seems to be an overall much better experience, but the bulk of my books are from Amazon.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cama900:
yes, you must go full screen :/ its a known problem (you can find it in the original tablet tweaks thread)

I apologize if this is anywhere else on here. I tried to search as best I could but nothing I found worked.

I know some Android phones have the 'Caller ID then Ring' setting for calls.

Is there any app/hack similar that can be used for the Aria? My issue is I want it to announce the caller FIRST, then proceed with the ringtone.

Thanks.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] REDSCARFACE1:
I have a theory if someone is willing to try I think this might give root not sure I'm not home to try it till tomorrow but if someone wants to try and post feedback let me know .. I have two ways I'm going to try this

1. Download one click root and try to root through that.

2. Do the temp root method then run one click root.. I'm thinking this will work not positive.

Also this is my first time on any incredible device...

Make sure after you do it restart and download terminal type Su and see if it stuck.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] khanam:
It won't work.

Sent from my thunderbolt
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
It does not work.

Elaboration: These one click systems are generally for gaining root. We have no problem gaining root. Our problem is disabling write protection on the eMMC controller. This has been broken on the Tbolt, but not yet on the I2.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Weselers:
Couldn't there be a way to temp root then remount internal sd r/w and edit permissions on system files from there? or when u reboot does it just undo everything?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] aerdely:
Question the fascinate uses odin to reformat system. I know inc2 has write protection but could there be something like to modify or change system to gain perm root. I only ask because i'm coming to inc2 in couple days and right now on fascinate when you flash cm7 rom you have to use odin to repartition because cm7 changes to yaffs2 and have to go back to rfs. Also to gain root you flash recovery with odin the apply a s.u. Bussy box which once you flash a kernel it gains perm root if it didnt it reflashes its own recovery back to stock. Just throwing couple things out there.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:
I personally hate odin..but if thats what it takes then so be it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] aerdely:
Just a suggestion. If any of the problems they are having are like the fascinate reflashing its self then a similar approach may work whether its gaining root then repartition or flash to gain perm root like fascinate. Sounds like the problem is gaining access to emmc so not sure if its similar or will work. I'm not a dev but sure someone could try something with this.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
The write protection is at the hardware level.

Have you noticed full size secure digital cards (SD) have a switch? If you set this switch to lock, and your card reader follows standards, then there is no amount of remounting that will make it writable.

In the case of the HTC eMMC, you can actually remount rw and it would appear you are making changes to the filesystems if you delete, add, or change files. However, with how this eMMC works, the changes are not written to the storage, they are buffered and then lost on reboot.

It is not reflashing the filesystems. It's simply just throwing out the changes.

The cool thing about the lock in the HTC eMMC is it is software controlled, not a hardware toggle switch. This means we just need to figure out how to flip this switch, which is being worked on. Once we can flip this switch, we can make more permanent changes, such as converting our temp root to a permanent root. This would, then, allow us to write bootloaders that don't do signature changes (ie: engineering hboot), and then load custom roms.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] aerdely:
Gotcha now. The better explanation helps when I read some where it was write protected was sure exactly what was ment by that but when I get mine I will poke as much as I could. Not that experience but every little helps. I do know alot about electronics though went to school for it and know what emmc is so maybe I can help a little or I hope atleast. Good luck to all off us. Keep up the good work appreciate it.

The Samsung Home Desk Home app is installed, but I can't find anything that will allow me to disable the LED.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanglifemike:
Saw a couple threads on Rooting but wanted to see if someone could post a link to the newest and best method for rooting a TB. I have rooted multiple Evos through ADB and through the 1-click root method. Have flashed Radios through bootloader and Kernals through Recovery and can almost do all of that with my eyes closed on my Evo. Girlfriend just bought a used TB last night and I want to root it but dont want to brick the thing. The Evo is near impossible to brick but saw mention of bricking the TB. Any help is greatly appeciated. I want to put her on a near stock rom be it Froyo or GB.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SubliminalME:
I rooted my phone when i bought it the week it came out. Then, I dropped my phone last week and had to get a insurance replacement, which i then also rooted.

I found, out of all the write-ups, the ADB Windows Rooting writeup on androidcentral was by far the best...and didn't require me to install all sorts of extra crap on my computer.

Just follow the steps and root and then pick a rom and follow the steps to install. Don't worry about the verizon produced updates...

PS - I like Gingerremix 2.0 the best...find it in the dev. section of this site.

Go into phone status and check it the same way you would on your Evo.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1005292

I used this even with the MR2 radio and a GB ROM. It does take a couple updates to certain things like Superuser and CWM Recovery, but those are simple.

MR1 is the first OTA that came for the Bolts, and the MR2 is the upcoming OTA. You for sure dont have the mr2 on there if its not rooted and used. The bricking issues were from a leaked radio. Ive not read anyone bricking their phone otherwise. Well, as long as theyve followed directions anyways. After that, you can browse this thread:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PygoShlee:
Hey guys.

Basically, I've sorted out a couple of my mates with custom ROMs etc, 2 friends and my own. Mine and one of mates was no problem, but the other one has gone wrong some how.

I'm a bit of a noob on the whole thing, but basically I installed the Honeysense ROM on the phone, which all went smoothly. My friend wanted to change again after this, and now theres a problem.

The phone will: Be Temp and Perm rooted with Visonary.

The phone won't:

- Boot into Clockwork mob, through the app or through the bootloader.

- Format the SD card

- Do a factory reset

Trying to go any of these boots to the HTC screen, and stays there. I've tried a new radio, re-installing Rom manager with no luck.

Bit stuck now. Like I said, the other 2 phones have worked perfectly, and my old one I changed from Honeysense with no problems either.

Cheers guys.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Hi, without knowing exactly what you/your friend did it would be hard to diagnose where the problem is.

You can try and start from the beginning again.

1). Download & Run 1.32 WWE RUU

2). Root with Visionary+

3). Apply ENG S-OFF & Radio S-OFF

4). Flash ClockworkMod Recovery

5). Flash Custom ROM

[Thunderbolt General] iifuzz:
I hadn't bricked. Just A question. If I brick my phone with gb and I don't have the insurance, they won't replace it right?
[Thunderbolt General] BigMcGuire:
Depends on how you bricked it. Technically software updates still would allow warranty repair (as far as I'm aware). But there are rooters who start rooting without really knowing what they are doing and brick their phones. Obviously when they go in asking for a new phone Verizon has no proof to what happened and usually honors that warranty. I could never do this in my right mind. But if I bricked my device through an update that wasn't my fault (say the recent Thunderbolt GB bricks), I'd collect warranty. There is no way for them to prove that you were rooting so they usually honor it.
[Thunderbolt General] LCSO 9c8:
My guess is no, but its worth a shot.
[Thunderbolt General] mcmillanje:
+1

If you flash something leaked/unauthorized its not covered. If an official ota (once it's pushed) bricks you, then it's covered. Keep in mind if you trick somebody @ Verizon and get them to replace it, they may not know the truth but HTC will once its sent to them. These things hurt the root community in the long run.
[Thunderbolt General] dalrym05:
They will cover it. I've sent back phones still rooted rom'd evrrythig. They don't care!

They do not take the time to check what your running they just wipe the phone right away. Myself and several others have sent back phones without spending the time to put back the stock rom. Just go for it!!!!
[Thunderbolt General] bp328i:
I would just get insurance if your rooted. It seems there is no rhyme or reason when or if the phone will brick.
[Thunderbolt General] RunNgun42:
If you run into a particularly stubborn rep who keeps pressuring you for answers, or specifically asking if you have installed anything on it, just keep shrugging your shoulders as if you have no clue. Be natural about it, and just say it started doing this on its own out of the blue. Because they obviously cant tell if you did anything they'll have no choice but to give you another.

I dont think HTC will mind getting back a bricked phone from rooting, because they know 90% of the reason you bought the HTC in the first place was because it has a strong rooting community. They'd rather keep people interested in their phones than the occasional brick they have to replace, which they will just use for parts or whatever anyway.
