Hey there,

Read several of the threads here and didnt find what I was lookin for so Ill post a new thread...

I have the Motorola Milestone 2.2.1 that I just rooted with SuperOneClick...worked great. However, I must be a little retarded as I cannot access any of the root files through any method I have tried. It simply pushes me to the memory card (8Gb) that I have installed.

Anyone have any tips or programs you can use or a methology for getting to the root drive, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks

The Toe

Is there an adb command to launch an apk from your phone or pc

NOTE: that is for the phones terminal in an app such as Terminal Emulator. From the computer just type "adb shell" then you are in the phones terminal and can run those commands.

OK, probably gonna have the oppurtunity to get a 7" soon.

Was looking at the WIFI version. I did read here it does have GPS module which is good.

Can I put 3.0 on this? (Sorry been really busy and since I hadn't bought one yet, I hadn't kept up on everything going on with Android).

I know that there are some cool GSM firmwares I had been looking at, why I was gonna pick up an AT&T model. Can I use these on the WIFI only?

Anything else I should know?

The 8.9 in version is coming out early summer (any day.) You can't wait? It has the Tegra 2.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexgogan:
You can't put honeycomb on this as yet, but have it under very good authority from excellent dev that this will be starting soon, keep an eye in the Android Dev section and it will be released there, the tag will more than likely be wifi only or GT-p10101 honeycomb Alpha which hopefully be shortly >:¬}
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitroman70:
Hi,

I got the P1010 "Wifi-only", and although it is a quite good tablet, I can't advise you to buy it. If you like this model, you should purchase the original 3G version. Why ? Because Samsung has lowered the technical specs on the wifi version (less powerful CPU and GPU).

The user interface feels a bit more sluggish, and some games compatible with the former 3G tablet simply won't work in the WiFi edition. In addition, the custom roms designed for 3G version are not compatible either. However you can still root your device (i've done it).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dardack:
8.9 Is still a bit big for me tbh. I really like the size of the 7".

Um looking over the specs they seem exactly the same CPU, the A8 1ghz Cortez Hummingbird. Or am I missing something?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dardack:
Cool. Are there any custom firmwares for the WIFI only yet? (I can start browsing tomorrow). And does the GPS fix for the other 3g tabs work for the WIFI only version?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexgogan:
The graphics card are not as god but i don't notice much of a difference to be honest i still prefer the wifi only and did not see the extra money worth it when i can teather rhetorically device.

And still no Rom yet. Regarding the gps fix not too sure as have not browsed the gsm threads too much.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricey:
The Wifi model uses an OMAP3 SoC vs the original 3G that uses the Hummingbird. The difference between the 2 gpus (PowerVR SGX 530 vs 540) is very apparent if you plan to use the tab for media or games. As posted earlier, there is a slight sluggishness to the base UI animation and transitions, many newer/more graphically intensive games will be very laggy or not run at all, and media will need to be encoded to be a bit lower quality for it to run smoothly. If you don't need the tab to be a media/game powerhouse then the wifi version should be good enough.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexgogan:
don't use it for games so did not notice anything.. downloaded a few games on the device but did not play them (they were free with the sammy). regarding the movies, encoded all on 720 automatically for the size and never had an issue in playing them
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dardack:
720p?

And maybe if it was my money I'd take the 3g, but it's a gift. So it was that or something else I had no interest in.

Hopefully a rom can help with some of that sluggishness.

Didn't know they used a lesser GPU in the wifi only, that blows.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dardack:
Also is there an official ROM for the 2.2.1 or .2/.3? Anything? Or do I just gotta wait and hope there are dev's working on the wifi model?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexgogan:
We have to wait unfortuanetly but i love the device its size and can teather to my phone so its perfect for me.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {Diemex}:
I would recommend u to buy the original tab.

The hardware is better and it has 3g.

Also its not a lot more expenisve than the wifi only model.

I got mine for 300€ from eBay

Also its the only tablet with phone functionality.

I don't know what the point of the wifi only tab is. if it had better hardware or at least the same as the original version just without 3g it would be okay for a significantly lower price..

But it doesn't.

"I crap by myself. I dont need iCrap....yet!"

transmitted from a Galaxy beyond your imagination.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dardack:
Again a gift. Not my money. And here in the states anyways, new 3g phone is like 500-600, and not buying a data plan, so 337 is decent. I guess i could ask them to go to ebay, but eh it's their money and want to buy new. I mean really i'm not gonna kick a gift horse in the mouth.

I do now understand the hardware limitations, no HDMI, but it's free so yea.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dardack:
Well I'll get it and see how I like it.

BTW is there a 30 pin to component out? Just for the Car video system, don't have HDMI anyways, so HDMI wouldn't do me any good anyways on the 3g.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
There is that cable. It may be listed in the accessories section. I connect my tab to a projector frequently. You can find them on ebay for less than $25. Make sure its compatable with the wifi model number.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dardack:
I haven't found one for the WIFI model. Damn samsung.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Well, the pins ++might++ be the same. The cheapest place for tab called is www.tv-mall.com, that cable is $3 there, and may be worth the gamble. Why don't you pm me, I have a suggestion.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dardack:
Yeah I can't find the cable on that site.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricey:
What u can try is what my friend did. He bought a 3G version from ATT for $250. Then he called them after he received it and got transferred to customer relations. He told them the tablet plan is no commitment and wanted to cancel because wifi is enough right now and he's no longer traveling for work. They canceled his plan and now he has a brand new $250 3G version. He only did this maybe 2-3 weeks ago.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dardack:
How is a contract no commitment? Anytime I've tried to cancel with any of the national carriers, they want a $175 cancelation fee. I'm gonna go read the fine print.

EDIT: 1. wifi is already on the way I guess. Oh well. I'll survive. 2. Not that I want a CDMA but Verizon has it for 199, but 2yr contract, but if it's 175, that's only 25 over the wifi model. 3. The ATT store I called, non in stock, so didn't even ask about a cancelation fee or anything.

EDIT2: How did he get it for 250? I called 2 other ATT stores near me. None offer a contract data plan to reduce the price. It's $549.99, with pay as you go. I asked bout getting a data plan to reduce the base cost, neither said they offered that.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dardack:
SO, just an FYI for people. NEVER EVER order from Samsung Direct. Talked to the person gifting this to me, and found a T-Mobile for $399 no contract. So they are allowing me to pay the $50 difference if I can return the one from Samsung.

1.5 hrs on the phone being transfered around. First Live chat recognizes they direct sell, but can't help you. The website says Call samsung to initiate a RMA. But no one has a clue. I was escalated twice, transfered 9 times. All said they don't sell direct (from accessories department, to tech support, to customer support), finally the 3rd time I got escalated department, the dude was like let me check on that. Yea I can but need the serial number first.

So gotta call back tomorrow when I get it with serial number. Sigh.

EDIT: BTW T-Mobile is GSM right? Same as European Models/ATT?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
T-mobile is gsm, but isn't exactly the same as at&t. They run on different frquencies for the 3g/H data.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dardack:
But the GSM Mod/Roms will work on the T-Mobile?

Also, when ATT takes over T-Mobile it should still work on their network?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Yes, all the roms work on any model of a tab with a sim card (don't confuse that with memory card).

The at&t models will work for voice and 3g, the t-mobile will be voice and EDGE (2g).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dardack:
well in the mail back to them. Hopefully we'll get credit by end next week, and I can go pick up T-Mobiles.

BTW i was trying google navigation on the 10.1 wifi, and it blows if you go off course (is this because of no Internet/3g?) What app y'all recommend for travel without 3g?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
The latest version of google maps lets you cache maps. So while connected to wifi, open the maps, get a gps position, trade your route/are you will expect to travel in, and google maps is saving(caching) all the maps you are looking at. Be sure to zoom in at places of interest so you will have a complete coverage of your journey.

When you travel, you will have the maps you traced.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper Daimao:
Hi, I'm having some trouble with my phone. I had bamf 1.7 stripped installed and tried to change my kernal to the battery saver one. it didn't like something about this and my wifi and data stopped working. the wifi screen just said error. I could still get phone calls though.

So I figured I'd try to fix this by wiping it all clean and installing perfect storm 1.5. Well I factory reset, wiped and cleared and all that and loaded the rom. I pulled the battery on reboot and when it started up I am stuck on the activation part of the phone set up. The cell signal is X'ed out and I seem to have no service and it just says "Activating...". Please any help is appreciated.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hksg:
You're using the MR2 radio with Perfect Storm 1.5, right?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper Daimao:
ah shoot, I thought it came with the rom. I have it on my sd card but it's not named correctly. How can I rename it? The sdcard doesn't go into disk drive mode.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You have two options.

1) If you have computer access and ADB, turn the phone off, load up the command prompt, and type "adb reboot recovery" (can someone verify that command? I think its the right one). Once you're in recovery, select mounts & storage > mount USB device (the very last option in the mounts & storage menu). That will mount your SD card and you can change the file name from there.

2) Hold the Volume down and Power buttons down until your phone turns on. This will bring you to bootloader, from which you can boot into recovery mode and follow the above steps, minus the ADB part. Holding Volume up and Power might boot you into recovery directly, but I've never done that and I'm not really sure if it will.

If neither of those work for you, stop back by and we'll take it to the next level! Hope this helps bro :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hksg:
Did you try going through Internet Pass Through? Enable Internet Pass, wait like 10 seconds, and then try going into disk mode. Or, you can connect your phone and push the file using ADB commands. Or, if you can access the Android market via wifi, just download a file manager, and then go to your SD card directory, fine the file, and rename. Just remember that it is PG05IMG.zip, and it has to be on the root. Then you can just reboot to bootloader and flash the radio. Good luck.

I rooted my HTC EVO 4G with Unrevoked. Now I need to factory reset the phone but I still want it to be rooted? How do I do this?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
What's your goal in factory wiping?

If you factory wipe a rooted phone I believe it will wipe out the ROM and your data and it will only boot to your bootloader.
[EVO 4G General] cubulco20:
Factory reset never unrooted my phone. I think root stays unless you want to unroot on purpose.
[EVO 4G General] DiGiTY:
I'm selling it. I want to sell it rooted. I never installed a custom ROM, I kept the stock HTC Sense ROM.

Just hit factory reset in settings?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
If the phone is rooted and you hit "factory reset" I'm pretty positive it will wipe everything including the ROM.

Why not just go into the recovery, wipe /data /system /boot /dalvik and /cache and then flash this?
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Just wipe and flash a stock ROM. Boom.

Edit: Words. ^^
[EVO 4G General] shortydoggg:
Factory Reset will not remove the root. The superuser app as well as the root was flashed into the phone's factory state. Resetting only wipes user data, not system files, including the superuser app.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Now now, I didn't say it would remove the root.
[EVO 4G General] Tripp-phpBB:
All factory reset does is reset everything back to when you first installed whatever ROM you have. It basically erases all the data and settings. It won't delete the rom, nor will it unroot you.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
It wipes /data which is why I suggest he does http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15091602&postcount=5 so the whole thing is clear of any of his data and is running completely fresh.

Unless the OP has anymore questions, not to sound like a moderator, the thread's kinda over with.
[EVO 4G General] DiGiTY:
So, just to be clear, hitting factory reset in Settings will delete all apps I downloaded and all data & settings for both downloaded and system apps then re-add the system apps plus SuperUser for root privileges?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
It'll do all that but it won't re-add anything, the superuser app is in the /system and it wont touch that.

Best thing to do is the post where I link you.
[EVO 4G General] joehunni:
Factory reset will leave you with the phone exactly how it would be bone stock. It will have root, but wont have Superuser. You should just flash Xhausx stock ROM and be done with it.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Yes it will, superuser is in the /system partition.
[EVO 4G General] DiGiTY:
I pulled my skirt down and just did it (Factory data reset via Settings). Everything was deleted, system apps plus SuperUser was still there and the phone is still rooted (tested and confirmed). Thanks everyone!
[EVO 4G General] joehunni:
I stand corrected...
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I didn't mean to be a jerk I just didn't want the OP to get the wrong idea.
[EVO 4G General] joehunni:
Nah you're good, just acknowledging that I was wrong lol.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Check drhonk's Bali 3.1 thread. In the post, there's a link to download rfs_format.zip. If logic serves me right, it'll format your phone back to rfs completely.

You just need to flash it via krylon360's CWM. Make sure you read the OP for directions though.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I bought my G2X outright and it was delivered on 4/18. I shipped it back to the TX return depot via FedEx overnight and it arrived on 5/18. I got my final bill today and they showed a remaining balance due for the phone instead of a credit for what I already paid them.

I called and the agent said they had no record of receiving the phone. I gave her the airbill number and the name of the person who signed for it at the TX warehouse. She said its a good thing I used FedEx otherwise I would have had to pay for the phone. So it'll take them 72 hours to fix my account while they figure out what they did with the phone.

So, if you're returning a phone to them, the only two shippers they can trace receiving packages from are FedEx and UPS. If the phone doesn't get there and you can't provide proof of delivery you're pretty much screwed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
She's full of it. When I shipped one back they said to make sure and get a tracking number. Granted I had to call after a few days because they didn't automatically refund my money (original phone).

I just used USPS with a tracking and he looked it up and processed the return.

Weird though. Never had to do this ever.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
That's what sucks about buying online or thru customer care

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] disorder5:
Tracking from any shipper is good enough ie USPS, Ups, fed ex etc.. One thing to note though is that handset research, which is what they are doing, is taking longer than the usual 72 business hrs and is probably 2 weeks is more realistic. Plus their policy states that it can take up to 30 days to get a refund from the time they locate your phone... that's saying they do locate it.

I'm not trying to be negative, but just wanted to give you a more realistic expectation of how this process works. I deal with this type of issue a lot because I'm a csr at tmo.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
Because I'm no longer a customer my calls get routed to accounting. The agent put me on hold and called the warehouse. She specifically said that the warehouse scans FedEx and UPS barcodes as packages arrive. The warehouse verified the package's arrival via their systems not by calling FedEx. The particular agent I was working with seemed pretty competent compared to what I'm used to dealing with. She was also pretty emphatic about the 72 business hours to get my account updated. I only posted this to potentially save others some hassle when returning their phones. Take it for what it's worth.
