[Xoom Android Development] shmigao:
My assumption for the market problems is this:

for some of us the 1.1 ROM installs a different build.prop. Google Market obtains device information from the build.prop (e.g. provider ID, phone model, location, etc.) and determines which content it shows to us.

Analogy:

since i am in China, one of those countries that does not have access to most paid apps, and many free apps either, I have to use Market Enabler or Paid Apps Enabler. I also need to use VPN.

This only really works on WIFI, and every time i switch between WIFI and 3G i loose the Paid Apps Enabler settings.

when this happens, i need to re-enable Paid Apps Enabler, wipe Market Data, and restart market. Then i can see all U.S. paid apps, BUT, I still cannot download and install purchase apps. For some free apps it has the same effect. I need to wait a couple of hours until suddenly I can purchase and download apps. It feels like something in Google's servers says "yep, alright, this is a U.S. device, enable paid apps"

Why do I share this story?

I believe with the change of the build.prop for some of our devices with 1.1 the same thing is happening, that means:

1. wipe Market data

2. restart Market

3. wait a while, try to reinstall the apps you weren't able to install before

my 2 cents
[Xoom Android Development] CamachoInc:
yeah I di that.. I wiped it again and now its working. Thank you!!!
[Xoom Android Development] dirtymindedx:
super awesome smoother than last rom.
[Xoom Android Development] b0ricua:
So far this thing is wicked! Props on the bootup times!!!
[Xoom Android Development] buzzdroidx:
hmmmm hope all goes well
[Xoom Android Development] davidsos:
So far so good, except for maps. 5.6.0 came with the ROM but fails to upgrade to 5.6.2

I tried all sports of stuff, manually deletion, clear the Market app data and restart but no luck.

Anyone else with the same problem? This is on a 604 wifi Xoom.

Other than this, unless there are other problems, this ROM kicks butt.
[Xoom Android Development] yooper:
You're two cents is priceless! I really appreciate the feedback as your instructions worked and fixed the issue. All I had to do is wipe the Market, restart the Market and all previously installed apps appeared.

Thanks for your help. I'm sure this will help many others as well.
[Xoom Android Development] Kippui:
Thank you! Your instructions had me running this rom in minutes.

^^ If your on wifi follow these instructions, easy as it can get.

Also is there any way to savage files from the data.img that I made? My internet isnt the fastest and I would love to prevent redownloading alot of my games.
[Xoom Android Development] terminal 7:
prop

just about to install this on my UK Xoom 3G (H) ...

im not sure if i should just push my own build.prop instead of letting it generate its own..

i already have the databases and build.prop from the time i first installed 3.1 using the ",,,,,in 5 easy steps...." method.

.
[Xoom Android Development] solarnz:
It should install the correct build.prop for your device. On installation it checks what network value is already in your build.prop and installs the Euro build.prop if it finds that the network=0.
[Xoom Android Development] qubz:
Same here..
[Xoom Android Development] lokidokie:
Yep, I have the same problem. Wifi Xoom also.

Titamium Backup also isn't able to restore the app, it just hangs...
[Xoom Android Development] theMaginator:
Hi guys, I wanted to see if anyone could help. I am currently running the Tiamat Xoom Rom 1.0 on an activated Verizon Xoom.

I downloaded the new rom and took out my sdcard from my Xoom and put it in my pc to drag and drop the ROM, but my pc does not even recognize that my sdcard is attached ok so I copied it over to the Xoom storage then used Root Explorer to copy it over to the SDCard. When I do it seems to just do it temporarily because when I reboot recovery and go to "install zip from sdcard" to make sure it is there it is not. All I see is a "clockwork/" folder.

Any advice?

Edit: When I go to "Storage" under "Settings" I only see the internal Memory no "SDCard".
[Xoom Android Development] tornacl:
Ok I has the same issue. I booted into recovery and used the " sd mounting " options to move the roms and any files for that matter to the SD card without taking the sd card out of the Xoom. I am at work so I am unable to give you the exact " mount storage " option to use. If someone else could reply to this post with the correct option that would be great.
[Xoom Android Development] maahfu:
TB works just fine with SD. you have to go into preferences select backup location, select detect (it still will look like it cant find it) then hit the back arrow a few times till you get into the directory that has removable or Microsd in it then browse to your backup location. open tb and it works like normal.

Would you buy a high end tablet it were rooted with an unlocked bootloader out of the box.
[General Questions and Answers] bgonderi:
After using Cyanogen on my Nook Color, I'd want any "high end" tablet I purchased to be rootable, but it wouldn't be important whether it actually was rooted right out of the box.
[General Questions and Answers] omgdracula:
I definately would, after rooting my droid1 and incredible and having fun with all the customization and themes I would not have it any other way.
[General Questions and Answers] boodafli:
yeah, i'd want it to rootable and moddable, but i wouldn't expect it out of the box.
[General Questions and Answers] solarpenguin:
Absolutely - it would save a lot of time with an "official" root on a tablet. Again, with the iPAD, very frustrating how Apple continues to impose their vision of a consumer in the products they develop without allowing people to customize to their liking. Oh well, that's why I'll stick with the galaxy!
[General Questions and Answers] seboj:
Out-of-the-box root would have no bearing on my decision whatsoever. I have every confidence in our a devs to gain root.

Now, if the question is a locked bootloader, that's a different story.

[General Questions and Answers] lexamus:
Preach on! That was the main reason I switched from the Apple juice. Even though Apple's products are ideal for some, I am not a one-size-fits-all-phone/tablet kind of person.

Yes!! Especially if it also had S-OFF out of the box too. :)

Sent from my HTC Liberty S using a finger
[General Questions and Answers] supermult:
it would be a nice move from the companies to sell it rooted out of the box, but i think its enough that they aren't making it too difficult.

However a Nexus Tablet would be nice..
[General Questions and Answers] platy222:
no my smartphone is enough for checking my e-mails or to google something :-)
[General Questions and Answers] aaa:
I have never buy any rooted Android phones but I have never used any unrooted Android phones either.

Somehow, I f buy something new, I like it in NEW....unrooted and stuffs...for me, unrooted belongs to signs of untouched device.

I always unroot my phones when I sell them, except if it the buyer clearly stated that he wants a rooted phone.

If I buy an Android tablet, it is just important to be rootable...but please do not root them as I will root it myself.
[HD2 General] masqueofhastur:
There's someone locally selling an HD2 that they bricked by applying the wrong software update from HTC's website. Is it feasible to recover with the right methods? Does it depend on what specifically went wrong? Are there questions I can ask the seller to determine how likely it is that I can recover it? I'd be getting it to install Android and Windows Phone 7 on it.

The guy isn't very technically inclined, so I don't have any more details. Only, WinMo phone I had was a Bell Vogue, and that went smoothly for me installing a cooked ROM, so I'm not sure what may have gone wrong for him.
[HD2 General] phonedammed:
Probably need to send it away fro JTAG repair.

Can't be software fixed

hxxp://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?p=907
[HD2 General] fred_up:
If they only flashed from a ROM from the HTC website, then they must have used the phone's serial number to download the file, therefore the ROM was correct for the phone.

The only problem I can foresee for bricking is if they disconnected or there was a power interuption during the flashing.

You would want to check out the condition, during that checking put it into Bootloader mode. If it can get into Bootloader mode then it is not bricked. Loads have came on here posting that they have bricked their HD2, but they haven't.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrosfan94:
Hello,

My camera was not working so I backup my Bionix rom, my apps with titanium, etc. I did a new install of Bionix and then updated the OverStock v1.3 kernel using recovery screen. My phone will not boot up. I think I should have updated the kernel through an app that does that, so I messed up.

I am unable to go into recovery. I am able to get to download mode. I am downloading the tool box for vibrant along with the bionix rom. I have never used the vibrant tool box, but my questions:

1. Can use vibrant tool box under download mode and install a new copy of bionix without loosing info of the internal memory card?

2. If I use Oding3_V1.0 and install Eugene_2e_jk2 (like I originally did a long time ago), would I loose the info in the internal memory card?

3. Is there another, easier way to get bionix install and not loose my internal memory card?

I would appreciate any help. I am downloading both programs and it is tacking a while, so any help would help a lot while I wait.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yalkowni:
whatever you do it shouldnt wipe your internal sdcard....but i do suggest to just odin back to stock

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrosfan94:
Thanks a lot! That is a good to know. I was worried I would loose all the info in the internal card.

Do you know if there is a newer version of the eugene with root? Or what would you recommend as the latest stock with root for odin?

[HTC Sensation] Shagman68:
Any one else have their GPS fail on them? Mine just stopped working yesterday.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
you have it enabled?
[HTC Sensation] Smokuevo:
Happened to me to had to reboot. Also find it hard for it to lock 100 % ..
[HTC Sensation] getrdy:
I used this app GPS status on my mytouch 4g to fix it. Give it a shot.
[HTC Sensation] Shagman68:
Yep, rebooting, non fast boot did the trick. That was really strange. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] urbanwind91:
Never had problems with my GPS, so far so good. It's been finding my locations pretty quick.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Out of the box mine wouldn't see any sats in any of the GPS apps. The GPS antenna icon wouldn't even show up in the notification bar. Yes, GPS was on, but it was dead. Reboot did nothing.

Ended up doing a shutdown, removing battery, and when it booted up everything worked normally. GPS has worked very well since, quick locks and very accurate map location.
[HTC Sensation] Savage1701:
Yes, have had as well.

I've had flaky GPS as well. Sometimes fast lock, sometimes 15-second lock, sometimes full shutdown and pull the battery.

I used that GPS check applet (their is a free and paid version). It seemed to help confirm issues, since Maps and such just show that little sat dish at the top.

Seems like it may need a little FW fine-tuning or something.
[HTC Sensation] getrdy:
As I said use GPS status clear your GPS chase then select your region of the world again and you will get fast connection to satellites. The app has a built in compass and you will be able to test
[HTC Sensation] Savage1701:
I've had to do most of the above including battery removal, full power-downs, etc.

I use GPS test and it takes a while but I get up to 10 or so satellites with accuracy to as little as 2-3 meters.

Switching amongst multiple apps like Latitude, Maps, GPS test, etc. seem to take the heaviest toll on the ability of the unit to quickly lock on when I launch the next app.

I can "death grip" it as well and kill the Wi-Fi, cellular radio, and GPS antenna, FWIW.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I had an instance of GPS Test (the Mike Lockwood version) not locking yesterday. In the Settings on that app you can Clear Aiding Data. I turned off GPS, did the clear, turned GPS back on, and it locked within 10 seconds. But for the most part the GPS on the Sensation has worked very well.

Hello all-

For the past couple days my wi-fi only xoom will not connect to wi-fi. I have tried multiples networks and nothing. When I hit connect and type in my network key( i have double checked and made sure I was typing in the right key) it constantly switches between scanning and connecting. I am not or ever have been rooted, and I have tried a factory reset still nothing. I am on 3.1 which was updated OTA not pushed to my xoom. Please help. I know if anyone can its the folks here at XDA. Thanks in advance for your help.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trig0r:
First thing I would do is disable all security on the network and see if it connects then, if it does then its not a hardware issue.

Remember to turn all the security on though when your done ;)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel8145:
I gave it a shot and still nothing. I tried connecting to my MyTouch hotspot and at Starbucks as well. Do you think the xoom is broken. I used to be able to connect no problem. This just started happening the last few days. Thanks!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trig0r:
OK so what's changed in the last few days then, any updates or app installs that might have screwed something up....?

Have you switched the Xoom off and on again?

If all else fails do a backup and reset the device..
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel8145:
Not much has changed. I haven't installed any new apps in a month or so. As soon as the problem started happening I uninstalled all apps I had installed since i bought it. After that didn't work I did a factory reset. I really appreciate all your help on this.
[HTC EVO 3D] killa2009:
Should I do the update? I was worried about the unlock bootloader.
[HTC EVO 3D] crucial929:
if htc unlocks the boot loader you will have to OTA update anyway ....
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
i did it 5 minutes after i walked out of sprint store because the rep told me i had to have it to get netflix. netflix still doesn't show up in market. i had to get an apk and load it myself. if it is locked already what is an OTA going to hurt?
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
The problem here is if HTC doesn't unlock........Anyone who has taken the update may have unknowingly patched an exploit that our devs are using, attempting to gain root access.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
If they only 'unlock' (or stop crypto-signing) the bootloader that doesn't guarantee us anything besides that. So we might still have to root the OS, which that OTA is likely a patch against (in addition to other things).

Or they are just going to 'unlock' the bootloader and give us s=off and then we can go wild and not worry about it.

I'm not taking that chance...

...besides, if the devs here get root before HTC--or HTC flakes out--I want in, and declining OTA's is a great way to insure the best chance for root in that circumstance.

Besides, my phone runs great and I haven't missed a single feature....a few FC's here and there, but, big deal....
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
The way I look at it, if you buy the phone a week from now, it'll already have the OTA on it out of the box anyway. Root will happen eventually, and people won't stop hacking the phone if they can only root 3vo's that came out in the first week of production. No dev is going to want to publish a root that only works on the first week's production. That's like saying "look at me... I have a small p3n15". :D They won't give up until every OTA is cracked.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
There is another possible benefit. I am not sure which version the engineering bootloader is, but generally, those are a hot commodity. It may be that the official unlocked hboot will have its own limitations. An eng hboot may be more desired. In today's EVO 4G, you cannot downrev to an eng hboot after you have acquired a certain version.
[HTC EVO 3D] killa2009:
You have a point!
[HTC EVO 3D] d12bn:
Yes

I did no worries
[HTC EVO 3D] Tahde:
I got the update not long after I left Sprint from purchase. I didnt think anything of it and took the update. Like one member has said, Netflix was not available to me until after I did the update.

If I'm in a bad situation with gaining root doing this update, oh well. Something is bound to happen after some time. No worries here.
[HTC EVO 3D] lopezpm:
I did both updates as soon as I pulled it out of the box.
[HTC EVO 3D] clark44:

[HTC EVO 3D] tC05:
i didn't wanna but i had to
[HTC EVO 3D] masbirdies:
I did! Not worried about root, it will happen when it happens. Meanwhile, I'm great with the phone as it is, especially since you can get rid of a lot of the sprint bloat and move most apps to the sd card.
[HTC EVO 3D] netstat_EVO:
I ran it as soon as I activated the phone in hopes that it included the unlocked bootloader... needless to say, I was disappointed :(

My phone was hardbricked when i screwed up with the latest Serendipity install. It boot loops at the white AT&T world phone screen. I am unable to get it into download mode with out a jig. However, once i do have it in download mode, my computer will not recognize the phone. It keeps viewing it as an unknown device.

I dont know if this is related to it not showing up using Odin 3 one click downloader. Either way, i need to get it back to stock.

I have the drivers already, in fact ive reinstalled them once or twice trying to get this to work, any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
That's not a hard brick. Search the already existing threads in the forums, of which there are many. No need to start another thread on it. Try a different USB port on your PC, make sure you're running Odin as an administrator before you put the phone in download mode and plug it into your PC.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icanhearpudding:
yeah i checked through that whole thread, it wasnt any help.

My comp is 32 bit windows 7. ive tried to connect my phone to a 64 bit windows 7, and a mac, and still havnt gotten ****. Im getting really frustrated. What are my options when i simply cannot find a way to get Odin to view the phone? All it says is that my USB device has malfunctioned and it wont work.

EDIT1

okay. ive discovered that if i plug in my USB while the ATandT logo is looping, my computer will see it as an external storage device. THEN i jig it into download mode, and plug it into the same port, and it will no longer see the device as unknown, but instead calls it 'androidtest,' although it still doesnt show up in Odin3. hmmmmm could this be a lead into getting it to show up? Every other attempt ive done has ended up with it just calling it unknown device

EDIT2

Searching through the device manager shows that the phone no longer shows up under universal serial bus controllers, but instead 'libusb (WinUSB) devices', under the name Androidtest. But as i said before, still no luck getting it to show up with Odin, either the one click or the choose all the components version. Any thoughts?
