[Xoom Android Development] inkdaddy66:
What error are you getting? I was able to figure my own problem out. I didn't get any help from here. Lol.
[Xoom Android Development] AdamsBig:
After I reboot everything works fine till I try and turn the wifi on and instated of it showing a green check it just says error under the wifi settings. I will try to get a pic up tomorrow also but thanks for the quick reply so late in the day.

Thanks, Adam
[Xoom Android Development] inkdaddy66:
Not a prob. I'm always around. Especially when another android nut needs help. Did you make sure you flashed the right file? You made sure you got the wifi files,right?
[Xoom Android Development] AdamsBig:
Ya I copy and pasted everything exactly to my knowledge and still an error but one thing I did notice was that I didn't have to reboot it for the wifi the get the error so I think is the wifi files but I mean I re downloaded them so I'm at a loss :(

Thanks, Adam

Did it again today and still get that damn error.

WiFi broken

Dude, in the OP it says don't use HC3.2.1, it will break WiFi. Did you by chance have 3.2.1?

My Xoom says it has 3.2 but I'm concerned I have 3.2.1 since it was new out of the box yesterday and got a few OTA's pushed to it yesterday and today.

Now I am only assuming the HC3.2.1 warning is referencing the existing OS you want to Root.

Would be nice to have clarification from the OP author.

Just noticed I need to change my signature, dumped the Galaxy Tab 7", tired of waiting for promised 2.3 with no results. I will have to say Motorola devices definetly get updates MUCH faster than Samsung devices!
[Xoom Android Development] jase33:
if you are on stock 3.2 rooted you can get to 3.2.1 using THIS method. I have done this and it works fine.

Type; ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su(With this I get a link failed file exists)

Thank u for your help but i just wanted to know why after i type in, "Type; ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su (this line starts with lower case "L", like llama)" it says link failed, File exists"? I followed through with everything else and I installed clockwork and other rooted apps and so far everything is working. but what about that one part? was it something greatly necessary to have in order to avoid some major problem later?
[Xoom Android Development] jase33:
You should be fine

[Xoom Android Development] evilsinner:
I followed this and now I am getting, wifi error. Any suggestions? Please help.
[Xoom Android Development] jase33:
You can re-do the process or, if you are familiar with how to do this, you can push the files for wifi via adb. But if not just re-do the process.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
Hey guys, so I rooted my friends Tbolt and all was well on BAMF but he was sick of the bugs it had, so he wanted another rom. so we put on virus rom, and low and behold we couldn't get 3g at all (we flashed the MR2 radio i believe in order ot get BAMF to work, but virus didn't give us 3g at all even afteer a few flashse)

so ok whatever, we decided to try Gingertheory. In this, i noticed the market would open for a second, then close. finally i found out its because "google failed to authenitcate account" or something. so we're like, weird wtf. so i check accounts, and it shows the red sync icon saying Google Cannot currently connect to the servers, bla blah blah blah. so i'm like weird. so i try on my Incredible, aaaaaand it works fine, syncing is fine. so we're like ok, problme with the rom.

so we flash a plain rom that's just debloated, same thing happens. now we're just pissed, because this phone just seems to be rapidly deteriorating as of late (especially with the damn random reboots, he gets like 5 a day!)

so now, the phones still screwed and we can't connect to any google servers. is anyone else having these issues? this means nothing of his is syncing (mail, contacts, market, etc)

Does anyone know how I can geg custom ringtones on my stock galaxy tab
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordLugard:
Create a folder on your SD card and call it ringtones. Drop them in there and they are selectable, or use any ringtone app like Zedge (not my favourite but very popular).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
Any mp3 or sound file you use can be used a custom ringtone. Simply choose that file and hit the menu button then set as ringtone.

Anyone have an other ideas. Thanks...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dell707:
MP3 ringtone maker or tone picker on the market is good if you dont have that option
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
You have root, I know! So using file explorer from the market, change the destination folder to read/write (r/w at the top of the page).

I was able get my custom ringtone to work. I created a ringtone folder and after closing and opening the tab i was able to find it.

All is well.:)

I found this script to extract Facebooks contact info from a Android phone but even though it mostly works and I get all emails and phone numbers the names get left out and I was wondering if someone knew how to fix this script.

I assume it is just a database change since the script was made.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bharadwaj1991:
I SimUnlocked my phone using way maxrfon found a way around SE security. I went to x10unlocked.com and downloaded the program there and unlocked the phone. As far as I could tell the only time the software ever accessed the internet was to check if my login information was accurate as far as I could tell. So in the program there must be a way to see how it unlocked sim going through the security of SE, which is also applicable to bootloader unlock.

As a side note...there is a folder in the software folder that is titled loader...and in there, there is like a few .sin files that the program supports...and one of them is x10.sin, it is very small about 86kb. I don't know about programming or anything close to it. I though someone/developer might look into this and figure out how the program does this and then it could be used to bootloader unlock our phones.

Any thoughts/ideas.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wali01x:
how did you get the username & password? cause it won't let you go through without username & password ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bharadwaj1991:
x10unlocked.com is where you download the program. You don't need to type in a username and password...The link is in the top of the page

Latest Client Version: 50.04 (12-07-2011)

Download Count: 9189

Download Latest Client Install 50.04

click on the last sentence... Download Latest Client Install.

When you install it and you are about to sim unlock your phone...you have to enter in a username and password...and that you have to buy. IF you do buy a sim unlock code what it does is unlocks your phone and it didn't install anything extra afterwards...so i am assuming all the files needed to unlock bootloader should be there without the necessity to buy an account. Of course you would need skills to reverse all that stuff.

[HTC Sensation] Firefall!:
Today I had my sensation in my backpack for an hour or two. When I took it out, I realiezd it was VERY hot (Maybe 40 degrees, but not just in one place, all around the phone...) and the screen wouldn't turn on. I then opened it, removed battery and reinserted it. Then the device booted. I checked my battery status, and it had dropped by about 40%. Also, the battery usage shows that WiFi was turned on until the point where the battery dropped. But I'm pretty sure I had turned it off (Using the HTC widget). Have you experienced anything similar yet? Do you think this problem could be WiFi-related? I hope it doesn't happen again... Phone is only two weeks old. I didn't try any overclocking or the like.

[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
An non oem alternative?

Craigsdocks.com

I just ordered the portrait one because I have limited desk space at work, so this can replace my N1 dock that I sold.

He does sell a landscape version as well.

The reason why I preferred to get these is because:

1. They are pretty customized for the Thunderbolt and the creator confirmed that it could be used for the Sensation because of the adjustable dock adapter he created.

2. I can use this with any case I finally decide on and can be adjusted accordingly with the removal and reapplication of 3m double sided tape and an adjustment of the hex screw.

3. They are cheaper than OEM and not from overseas :D

If i were you, I'd just root and flash a custom ROM. All froyo ROMS are stable and CM7 is as well. And it is all super easy now.

Step 1: Find z4root on xda and install it on your phone. Open it and press root now. Wait until you reboot.

Step 2: Find ROM Manager. I think it is on here as well, if not PM me for the apk. Open it after install and choose "Flash Custom Recovery". MAKE SURE TO CHOOSE LG OPTIMUS ONE!!! It is the same as our phone.

3. Find a ROM in our development section that you like, and download it.

Reply on here or PM me to finish the process up.

Hi,

Has anyone found a flip case or a wallet case for this phone (preferably leather)? I found one, but not sure about the quality, since the add says "genuine artificial leather" and none of the pictures are actually of the phone mentioned. The case I found is here:

i have got a HTC Wildfire and found the stock to be a bit slow.

is it possible to enlarge the font size of the widget in Launcher pro?

Thanks in advance
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HuckFinn:
My Xoom is completely stock and I just received and installed the 3.2 update. I am pretty disappointed in the SD card support and lack of other features. I held off on rooting and installing Tiamat before as I wanted to see what Google would give us, and well I think I have waited long enough to see that it pales in comparison to what you devs can do.

So now I would like to give the Tiamat kernel a try. So I read through several of the threads and on the Tiamat 2.0.0 Kernel thread it assumes you are on 3.1, where I am already on 3.2. As it took me several months to convince the wifey that I needed my Xoom I do not want to risk bricking it, so I am looking for some help.

-First, is it currently possible to go straight from complete stock 3.2 to Katana?

-Second, and much more difficult, can someone provide me step by step instructions? I've seen several of the threads out there, some of them are very helpfull, some get me part way, but none of them cover this exact upgrade scenario. This just makes me very concerned with doing something wrong or if something changed in 3.2.

I know this is a lot to ask, but I think there are a lot of people who would benefit from this information.

Thanks
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
The quick answer to your question is Yes, you can go from stock 2.3 to Tiamat Katana 2.0 kernel, but you must be rooted.

Are you rooted? If so, and if you have already installed Clockwork Mod Recovery 3.2.0.0 (from solarnz' thread in Development) you can just flash the Katana kernel and you should be fine.

If you are not unlocked and rooted--you can follow the directions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1170760

There are actually some more user-friendly (for noobs) instructions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130996 in this thread, but for STEP 5 (ROOTING) you have to substitute the method from jase's post (above) for the instructions for Step 5 in the "idiot's guide" I can't find any 3.2 root files yet. It's the same procedure but a bit more hands on. No matter what you do, you will have to use adb to unlock your bootloader and root, so gather all the necessary files, drivers and print out your instructions.

One thing to know is never try to install a .zip file through adb...that will cause massive headaches. However, it seems pretty hard to actually brick one of these Xooms through updating and flashing. (Don't drop it into water, though!)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HuckFinn:
Thank you for the information. All the posts asking for help because something did not go right still have me pretty apprehensive. I am not at all interested in over clocking, so it is really the what I assume is proper SD card support and USB tethering that interest me the most.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
It's only by rooting that you are able to get the full functionality of the Xoom. It's great as it is...HC 3.2 is very good and improved, but this device is made to driven like a sports car, not just sat in like a minivan.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HuckFinn:
okantomi,

Well I have gone back and forth on wether to root or not and you have been very helpful with pointing me to good information. I am hoping you do not mind answering a couple more questions.

-In the "Idiot's guide to flashing" you pointed me to it installed CWM before rooting. Is this the proper order or would you root first? I know I should just follow the guide and give it a shot, but that just seems odd.

-Can you explain to be the difference between the Tiamat kernels and the ROMs? My assumption is that the ROM would include the kernel, but I have a strong feeling that is incorrect. I have read posts of installing the ROM first and then the kernel and I am just more confused.

Thanks, one day I will get there.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
I've got to be quick...I have to do some work today, lol, but here goes:

Actually, follow the Idiots Guide regarding the adb, moto drivers setup.

Then follow this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1170760

It's got all the right files and steps, and though it's pretty much to the point, it's user friendly enough. It will get you rooted, I'm sure.

While the difference between ROMs and kernels is somewhat over my head, the ROM does contain the kernel (it's sort of an all inclusive package to tell the device how to behave, whereas the kernel manages particular functions, but not others. It's more limited.) Because the Honeycomb source code hasn't been released, the developers are somewhat limited in the ROM-development department, but they have been able to work wonders with kernels. However, the Tiamat 1.1 Rom for HC3.1 was great and the new ROM in development for HC3.2 will be great too, if the Katana kernal for HC3.2 is any indicator.
