Here's where you can get the bootloader, and then the instructions on how to downgrade if you currently have the 2.02 or 2.10 bootloader.

The problem with risking a brick by downgrading, is if your phone has the 0040000 erase block sizes (new partitions). The ENG bootloader only works with the old partition sizes 0020000.

To check what partitions you have you need to execute a simple command in adb

cat /proc/mtd

[Xoom General] Trig0r:
Well just ordered my Xoom.

Had a poke on the Otterbox site and thinking of ordering one of them (Got the commuter on my DHD) as well as a matt screen cover (again on my DHD).

Then I came here, thinking perhaps I should of done that first as there seems to be mixed feelings about the Xoom, I mainly decided on the Xoom as it was the only one with 3g that I could get at the time..

Maybe I should of gone for the Flyer or A500 instead :eek:
[Xoom General] rschenck:
The Flyer is an interesting looking device but the screen is significantly smaller than the Xoom (7 inch vs 10 inch), and it is running Gingerbread rather than Honeycomb. Also, it's bootloaders are still locked tight so rooting and modding will be an uphill struggle.

The A500 is a nice machine, but a bit heavier than the Xoom. Also, I have had bad experiences in the past with Acer which tends to skimp on Design and build quality at times. However the full size USB is a nice addition. On the minus side, the dev community for the Iconia is not nearly as far along or as active as here with the Xoom. In addition it is still waiting for 3.1, which if you are in the US your Xoom will have via OTA right out of the box or it is easily added using XDA guides.

I feel you made the right choice ordering the Xoom...and I agree, Otterbox cases are the gold standard, the crowning touch on a great device.
[Xoom General] marctronixx:
i have had the otterbox defender case for the xoom since early last week. it ROCKS! bullet proof construction. can be configured in a couple ways, ports are secured by flaps. they took the time to get this right. worth the money spent and the time to wait on it.
[Xoom General] Trig0r:
Not in the USA, in the UK so no OTA for me, guess I'll be checking out the ROM's soon enough, dont think I've had a device thats been supported here thats had stock ROM on it for more than a day after it arriving :lol:
[Xoom General] P00r:
Me too! It will replace my not so bad Gtab

I was looking for a small device, but so far the smallest announced is the LG but it doesn't have GPS and the price point isn't that great, one of my friend have a Transformer, it's a nice unit for the price but it feel too big!

The Flyer is't as powerful as the Tegra, and other model where bigger, beside the accessory for the xoom seem interesting!

Not sure yet what I am going to do with the gtab, I might as well keep it to have a testbed for rom flashing, not sure!

anyhow, ordered from costco in canada, so I have plenty of option in regard of exchange or credit (I expect the canadian version to follow the US pricing down to 499)

The reason why I am upgrading is that I want to use the encryption on the unit, I can't help to think about the nightmare if It got stolen!
[Xoom General] woodylee:
I returned my A500 for the Xoom last week and haven't looked back since. The Acer is heavier than the Xoom but it actually feels lighter because of the weight distribution on it. Overall the A500 is a very nice device but since Costco had the Xoom on sale for only $20 its an easy call.

The pros for the A500 are the full size usb connector and working SD card slot.

The pros for the Xoom are the software updates, dev support, and more accessories to name a few.
[Xoom General] vdub804:
Yea I'm ordering the otterbox from amazon I've been looking for the white and black version that I saw on YouTube anybody know who has them
[Xoom General] blanKomments:
If you flash a custom kernel to the Xoom, you can have your SD card, and use it, too! :-D
[Xoom General] Trig0r:
Whats the deal with custom ROM's, same sort of thing as the phone, unlock, root, clockworkmod?

Who's the best guys to follow ROM wise, I'm not so bothered about regular releases with all the new bells and whistles, I want something thats mature and well supported similar to what I get with the revolutionHD ROM that mike1986 kicks out..
[Xoom General] rschenck:
Since HC sources are not available, ROMs for the Xoom focus can only focus on overclocking, optimizing and adding small features but I can say that BigRushDog's work really adds to the performance of my Xoom.

BigRushDog (BRD) creates the Tiamat kernels and custom ROM (along with Solarnz and the rest of Team Tiamat) and is definitely the one to watch as far as custom romming on the Xoom currently.

Also keep an eye on the Launchpad kernel by TDR as well.
[Xoom General] Trig0r:
Whata bout the dreaded Tegra HD playback issues, that sort of thing fixed in the customs, what about the SD card slot working?
[Xoom General] DroidHam:
cancel your order and get the galaxy 10.1, i have my xoom for months and loved it, just got a GT and am selling my xoom on ebay, i LOVE my GT
[Xoom General] vdub804:
Why should he cancel I returned the 10.1 for the Xoom because theres no expandable storage or 3g data only wifi the only plus the 10.1 has is its thinner and I noticed the Xoom has longer battery life
[Xoom General] msavic6:
i personally hate Samsung products, the quality is cheap and they always break very easily. As well i think the xoom looks alot better and if i'm not mistaken it has a 5mp camera vs. the 3.15mp on the tab 10.1.
[Xoom General] Trig0r:
I had a Samsung N220 netbook, was ok tbh but the complete lack of support from Samsung was enoguh to put me off any of there stuff again..

The reason I went for the Xoom was for the 3g in the end as its the only Android tablet my supplier had in that was 3g, I would of looked at the Transformer but they dont stock Asus...

My requirements were, in no particular order.

Expandable storage

Bluetooth

Wifi

3G

Media Playback

I was also looking at the Flyer but they arent getting stock of the 3G one until the end of the month and I want it before then..

Xoom seemed to tick all the right boxes..
[Xoom General] vdub804:
And if you get tired of verizon you can flash the xoom to another carrier like I did, $400 deposit for $35/month data my ass and thats after I gave them ****ers $800 for the xoom
[Xoom General] DroidHam:
3G is pointless with a 4G Thunderbolt to tether to.

Galaxy Tab has better battery life

Screen is WAY better.

32GB internal is plenty of data for me, I had a Xoom for 3 months and never used the SD Card even after I rooted and installed the kernel for it.

Dont get me wrong, I loved my Xoom, but I think its outdated now. Its big and bulky, and has a sub par screen.

Just my opinion, but I think my SGT is ALOT nicer.
[Xoom General] davidsos:
Try this experiment, that I did, only don't use your GT. I went into a BestBuy and tried to flex/twist the iPad2, Xoom and Iconia, The iPad2 and Xoom were solid, no give. The Iconia flexed and creaked. Let us know how the GT fares, but use a display model, not your personal GT.

As far as viewing angles go, I've not found the Xoom to be problematic as once the angle gets extreme the viewing experience goes down hill because of the angle, not just the change of image quality. Although I wouldn't complain if the Xoom had an IPA or equivalent display.
[Xoom General] omnia1994:
flyer is extremely laggy
[Xoom General] DroidHam:
Try this:

goto best buy, and slam the ipad2 on the ground. Does it break?

Point is, im careful with my devices. Im never going to "twist" my tablet. Its thin, so yes, its vulnerable. Luckily I am careful. If you want a brick to make sure you can twist your device without it breaking go for it.
[Xoom General] vdub804:
Lets not forget Samsung's track record when it comes to updates
[Xoom General] Gorgonesh:
Thunderbolt battery life is bad to begin with, can't imagine it tethered. :eek:

You're the first to say the Tab has better battery life than Xoom. Ever. ;)
[Xoom General] DroidHam:
The way all the xooms updates have yet to come out im not too worried about samsunsgs. I had a wifi xoom so 3g isnt one of my arguments.
[Xoom General] Trig0r:
Mines from a separate supplier, no data contract or anything like that, just a Xoom in a box...
[Xoom General] Trig0r:
I did think about a wifi only unit and tethering it but for me 3g and having a standalone unit was more a priority.

As for battery life as ling as it lasts 6+ hours I'll be happy enough, but then again battery life is so individual these days I tend to ignore what most ppl say unless everyone is screaming about it being crap, there's so many different things you can do that affect battery life...
[Xoom General] Trig0r:
Shipping confirmation, should be here tomorrow..
[Xoom General] Trig0r:
And its arrived...

within 10 minutes it was in bits :D
[Xoom General] rschenck:
That doesn't sound like a good thing....
[Xoom General] Trig0r:
Nah it was fine, just wanted to check the mini-pcie slot inside it...
[Xoom General] Trig0r:
Well, in the last 24 hours the Xoom has been in bits, to check the mini-PCIe header inside and has been rooted.

Think I'm going to wait for the official 3.1 though now as I dont fancy screwing it up too much :lol:
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqgk:
1) I was reading the das bamf release thread and it says it's deodexed until first boot. Does that mean I can theme it as if it was deodexed, or is it odexed as soon as I boot it the first time?

2) I was hoping to use uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/ to theme it but wasn't sure if it was possible with this ROM. Any advice would be huge.

3) And in terms of updating to 2.1 do I just need to flash 2.1 in clockwork or do i need to go back to rooted stock first?

4) Thank you!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tflogic:
Not sure about the first question but..

2) Yes, it's possible. Just use your own system files to upload to UOT. On the last dialog, it should tell you where the 3 files are located.

3) Boot into recovery. Wipe data, cache, dalvik, and flash.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fizeke136:
the easiest way (at least for me) to check if a rom is deodexed or not is to go to system/app. if its not deodexed, there will be files in there that have a .odex or something like that.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] web.designer.iq:
Hi Everyone

Recently i brought "Acer Iconia A500" Tablet.

I'm not convinced with this tablet when i compare it with EEE Transformer.

EEE Transformer has clear screen (not like a500).

I'm very confused now. Should i buy (EEE Transformer) or another one instead of A500?

What do you think please?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ThaiM:
Short answer? Yes.

Long answer? Yes.

I associate the Acer brand as being cheap Walmart/Zellers discount products.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicpork:
You know what the answer will be... ;) this is the transformer forum at all...

if you don't need a usb port on the tablet itself, the TF is a no brainer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] web.designer.iq:
USB is very important to me. Do you mean Transformer does not contains USB port?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicpork:
correct..the tablet itself only comes with a microSD slot and hdmi port..

there're two usb ports and another SD slot on the keyboard dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zephiK:
and additional battery life on the dock itself
[Eee Pad Transformer General] The El:
But there will be an "extension kit" availible (which gives you an USB-port on the tablet itself) at the end of the month...afaik for ~30$.

Have you tried removing the battery for ten seconds then trying again?
[XPERIA X10 General] frothe3:
Do you have another battery? Try that. Might also be the USB charging cable. If you can, request another. They should replace mobile if still under warranty.

Sorry to hear that mate... if it would be in my hands, I've swapped it...

SEMC official routines doesn't include even Neocore for stress testing, as Desire has, few X10's had also defective Snapdragons, not that many as HTC had tough...

Just try again, maybe it will venture into more skillful repair technician... ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] Jason93:
I hope but i don't think so..I will try one more time and If they don't fix it i will sell it to ebay if someone want it for spare parts.

Motherboard Issue on x10a

I bought one of these second hand and I got ripped off. Without warranty I was pretty much stuck when the phone began freezing, rebooting, getting hot and just plain sucking. I upgraded the phone from 1.6 Android to 2.1 then to 2.3. Nothing helped. Beautiful phone but this one's a dud.

Well with nothing to lose I thought long and hard, explored the options and came to one conclusion. I was time to open this thing up and see if I could fix it myself. I downloaded the instructions from the net and went to work. The first time I opened it, cleaned it and flattened out the bubbles that I found on the CPU's copper tape.

I wasn't thinking that that was all that was wrong, and I was right. It still acted up and froze/rebooted. Well I ordered a new phone and when it arrived I decided to do something that I never would have done unless I had the replacement phone to use.

I opened up the X10a once again. Stripped out the PCB (mainboard) from the phone, removed all copper tape, and black tape that covered other components on the PCB. I then covered the PCB in tinfoil but clipped out around the CPU to let it bake more so than the rest of the board. I used a convection oven with the fan turned ON, set it to 210 degrees Celsius, let it heat up for a good long time (20 mins). Laying the PCB perfectly level was tricky, but not impossible. I made sure the CPU was facing up. I used an upside down ceramic plate for the baking surface. I placed the plate with the PCB into the convection oven and baked it for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, I shut the oven off, left the door closed for a minute then propped it partially open for another 2 minutes. After that I opened it up over half way and left it alone for 30 minutes. After that I removed it from the oven and let it sit for another 30 minutes. After that I put it all back together and prayed. Not literally.

I seems to have worked. Before this I couldn't play a game and listen to music or browse the web VIA WIFI and listen to music at the same time for longer than five minutes before the phone would reboot/freeze. I have been playing music and playing games for WAY longer than that now. Same with browsing and music. No problems..Yet. If you're even remotely interested I'll keep you updated. I recorded the entire process and I will be uploading it to youtube later.

I'm so glad this seems to have done the trick, but with a lot of re-bake / hack reflows It may only be a temporary fix. Well, IMO, better that then having a 1/4 functioning "smart" phone. It worked for me, it might now for you, so if you attempt it and over bake your phone's PCB mainboard don't blame me.

As a side note, I am typing this from a Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop. Last year this laptop died due to a flaw in the video card. I rebaked the video card in my home oven and it fixed the problem. Up until now, a year and counting I haven't had an issue with it. Knocking on wood (literally).
[HTC Sensation] narse:
Does anyone else get mobile network drops where you have to disable and re-enable "mobile network" to get a connection back?

One way I have found to reproduce this is to go to a web browser (I use Dolphin), then go back to the desktop to start the camera. Then hold the home key (to bring up the last programs) and go back to the browser and you will find that if you click on any links you won't get anywhere. I have also found that doing a search in Google maps usually doesn't work as the data connection isn't there. Again, turning off and on the "mobile network" and then restarting maps will get it working.

Apart from this the phone seems to mostly work fine.

Anyone experience this? I'm hoping it is software and not hardware.

[HTC Sensation] E-MAC:
There are quite a few people experiencing this. There are a few threads dedicated to it already, both here and in T-Mobile and HTC's forums.

Some have been told it's a software issue, some have been told it's in T-Mobile's network. So far there doesn't seem to be a fix.
[HTC Sensation] E-MAC:
Toggling cyphering isn't going to fix anything for most people. It definitely didn't help me. The other two items could be applicable if the scenario is right, but I'm afraid the root issue is much bigger.
[HTC Sensation] narse:
The problem I was experiencing wasn't the one mentioned in those threads. My phone is a UK model and those threads seem to be based on US phones and carriers.

I eventually factory reset the phone and wiped the sim card contacts for good measure and the problem has gone away. Hope this info helps someone else.

Hello people

past day i was doing some calculations and i've noticed that the calculator d'snt work well. when i try to reduce a percentage to a value the result shown is always wrong.

Anyone noticed that?

sorry for the inglish.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Lol. That's a first. A calculator not calculating correctly :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] Flowlance:
Show us a calculation so we can try to see if the same happens here :D
[Galaxy S II General] Elicetian:
I guess you are trying 100-20% and you get 99.8 and you expect 80 right ?
[Galaxy S II General] mchimney:
100*.20=20
[Galaxy S II General] mljjlm:
but: 100-20% = 100-0,2 = 99,8
[Galaxy S II General] skycamefalling:
Yeah, I've heard a lot of complaints from people that expect something like this. I always thought they'd teach math at school :p
[Galaxy S II General] onbacardi:
human vs computer calculator is that even a battle :)
[Galaxy S II General] skycamefalling:
I fear when it comes to calculations with percentage the main problem are users that don't know how to enter the formula right.

My math teacher always said: NEVER use the percent and the root keys of your calculator because they will only cause trouble. Do your calculations the "real" way (x/100*y) instead of percent and (x^(1/y)) instead of root.

It seems he was right :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
Well I wonder how Root function could fail .. but maybe that's why XP calculator does not have it .. :D
[Galaxy S II General] skycamefalling:
There's a lot of people here with Android-phones that have problems with root :D
[Galaxy S II General] Stonos:
The XP calculator has it; it's only in the standard view though. In the scientific view, you can just do x^0.5 where x is your number :p
[Galaxy S II General] Lightfunkyone:
I use the calculator a lot and I noticed this flaw when I got the phone a month ago...daft thing to miss on a high end smart phone ehhh?

Phone os unrooted btw
[Galaxy S II General] Stonos:
Can you show us a calculation where you get a wrong result?
[Galaxy S II General] Lightfunkyone:
caught ringer volume when took snapshot...doh
[Galaxy S II General] dinan:
I don't see what's wrong with that. The way the computer interprets your command is 100 minus 15 percent of 1 which is 100-0.15=99.85. I assume you want to subtract 15% of 100 to get 100-15=85? Basically the % operation just divides the value by 100. So 15/100=0.15. You still have to multiply that by something (in your case 100) to get back to the percentage of the value you want.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You're doing it wrong mate. The calculator is giving you the correct answer for what you entered.
[Galaxy S II General] Lightfunkyone:
Its not wrong with all the other calcs I use..just wasting energy with all that other crap
