[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brethart88:
hello i followed this guide http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1078019 i got the bootloader unlocked and followed this step by step then in the end when it got rooted it got stuck on motorola dual screen after trying everything i had to relock again then it went back 3.1 version again with no root. So is there any way i can root to motorola xoom wifi 3.1 mz604 - Hong kong Version(pls check the attachment) or any way pls reply
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshndroid:
why not just upgrade all the way up to a custom rom to which root is already included?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brethart88:
i don't know how to do the custom rom thing. can u give me simple method that i can use to root. as it's asia version not us wifi version so might be something different image file or smth.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rndinit0:
If you have an Asia Xoom 3G Head to shell9.wordpress.com

There's a guide there that should help you out.

If your xoom is the wifi version then you can safely follow the US guides. There is no hardware difference on the wifi version. So there is nothing to worry about.

hi All, sorry for posting here, but I'm under my initial 10 posts quota.

I'm trying to grab the screen of a galaxy s2 while a camera preview is active. I've tried with several apps (not just 'camera'), and several techniques to grab the screen, but they all display black where the camera image should be.

I've tried the home+power capture, I've tried ddms, I've tried directly pulling the data from /dev/graphics/fb0 on a rooted s2 but no luck. all approaches work fine on galaxy S1 & nexus one.

It seems the s2 is not using this framebuffer to write capture data to the screen, does anyone have any ideas how they are writing this data to screen, and how it might be captured?

thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeacott:
actually this is the case for any video that plays, not just the camera preview.

does anyone know how this data is being rendered to the screen?

So like most I was able to root my evo yesterday and got everything going. Well long story short, I had issues and ended up formatting my SD card and lost my stock back up. All I got is cm7, how screwed em I?
[EVO 4G General] Omgadroid:
Just get a pcimg zip of stock there r a few
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
depending on how hard to you want that. there is format recovery software but you could just flash a stock rooted ROM if you like that. All you really lost was any pictures/etc that were on your SD card, otherwise welcome to the club. EVERYONE has probably accidentally formatted their SD card at least once :D:D
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
just remember, if it powers up you can always fix it, if it won't power on.......B B B B B BRICK!
[EVO 4G General] BlazinThat:
I saved all pictures and movies, just forgot about back ups.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Just as long as you have a working backup, stock rooted or otherwise, it doesn't really matter. Just get one set and if you saved all the other jazz then you're good. :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jardicel:
Yeah, I know there are threads similar to this one, but I have not found the answer on those, so here is my own.

I was running StarBurst ROM and I decided to flash a faster Kernel, so I used one of Pershoot's Kernels, "AnyKernel" or something like that. Well, afterwards, I rebooted and the boot animation has been replaying over and over again. I can still access Recovery and Download Mode, so I'm wondering if somebody can help me out from there? I think I have learned my lesson, lol... Somebody please respond to this. :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joebob1:
if your able to get into the recovery, do you have a backup that you can restore?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jardicel:
No... This is where I think I messed up... I hope there is another way of doing this.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joebob1:
I'm not too experienced in this area, so wait for more reply's before you do anything, but have you tried flashing the rom again?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jardicel:
Understood, thanks for replying though, much appreciated :) and I would have, but I'm not sure if I can get access to the device's storage through recovery or any other way with it being soft-bricked, I haven't saved the ROM file in storage either.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mughalgxt:
Have you tried deleting cache and data in recovery mode? try installing a stock rom (basically a stock kernel) and reflash the startburst ROM.

1)FLash via odin (refer first thread for available stock ROMS in developer section)

power+volume down key > right icon

OR

2)Via CWM recovery(accessing internal memory):

If clockworkmod recovery is intact (else flash via ODIn, link first thread developer section)

try adb commandline:

c,d,e:\wherever is adb.exe\adb push firmware.zip /sdcard/

than install the firmware.zip(first thread developer section) by choosing the appropriate option in CWM recovery!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jardicel:
Yes, I done that right after I realized I was bricked. & I would, but I do not know of a way to gain access to files via computer with my tablet being bricked, do you know of a way?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jardicel:
Sorry, did not see the rest of your post. Can you post that in simpler terms?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mughalgxt:
CORRECTION<easiest way>:

Download stock rom (search exactly for PDA_SIGNED_P7105.tar.md5)

Flash the ROM with ODIN (you probably know what odin is!)

>to flash with odin enter download mode in tab (power +volume down > left icon selected with left key and confirmed with right volume key)

HURRAY! now flash starburst as you did very first time.:cool:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FillTheVoid:
I agree with Mug. if your familiar with adb this is the method i would try. You can push the 3.1 stock zip to your sd card and it will be there to flash with CWM.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FillTheVoid:
Can you flash that .zip with Odin? I thought it was CWM only since its not a .tar
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mughalgxt:
CORRECTED THE POST!i THOUGHT IT TO BE A ODIN FLASHABLE ROM
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jardicel:
Okay, I mostly understand now. I know what Odin is, but I'm not sure how to flash the ROM through it. I'm looking at it now, where do I put this at? PIT, BOOTLOADER, PDA, PHONE, CSC? & What options do I check?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mughalgxt:
recheck the rom to be downloaded, its NOT the zip one mentioned before. Once you get the referred rom(PDA_SIGNED_P7105.tar.md5) in corrected post, put it in pda,

default selections of odin

and start flashing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FillTheVoid:
Sorry my friend. There is no Odin flashable stock rom file yet. I know for a fact a dev by the name of IronHide is working on one. He told me himself it will be ready in a few days.

Are you familiar with adb? Do you have the android sdk on your computer?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mughalgxt:
There are three stock odin flashables,

1)PDA_SIGNED_P7105.tar.md5

2)STOCK euro (uploaded by me)

3)STOCK arabic (uploaded by me again)

I assert the OP to search and flash the first one as its non touchwiz and native US retail version. The numerical error (7105 for 7510) was made by the original poster who posted the rom.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jardicel:
LOL, sorry, I'm pathetic. Google search PDA_SIGNED_P7105.tar.md5? I haven't found downloads, a link would be nice :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jardicel:
I have heard of adb once, but no, I don't have any Android SDKs on my computer.

Well, egg on my face. I beleive the PDA_signed file is for I/0 tabs though. i think your best bet is the stock euro.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jardicel:
Does it matter what version of Odin I use? Im using v1.3.5.

And @ FillTheVoid , I'll consider it if this method doesn't work :)

[HTC Incredible S] Markusn82:
Hi,

If I have a brand new Bell Incredible S with stock Froyo ROM. I want to flash CM7 on it along with the recommended radio, but I also want the ability to completely revert back to stock in the future.

From what I understand there is no RUU for Froyo for this device and nandroid does not backup kernels or radios. That said, is there any way for me to revert the device back to stock Froyo (kernel/radio included) later on or is a GB RUU the best I can do?

Thanks,

Mark
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Once you flash a GB ROM/radio combination, you will not be able to go back to any Froyo Rom/radio. You cannot flash an older Froyo radio over a GB radio, even with an official RUU.
[HTC Incredible S] Markusn82:
Thanks for the info. I can still use a GB RUU to revert to purely stock GB device? Anyone done this on a bell Incs?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yes I had a Bell Mobile Froyo and have upgraded it to the WWE GB ROM/radio.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/15/motorola-photon-4g-review/#disqus_thread

So Engadget recently reviewed the Photon 4G and they claim its the greatest smartphone ever on Sprint. The reviewer, Myriam Joire, was the same as the one who reviewed the Evo 3D. As you can see the Photon 4g review is filled with attacks against the Evo 3D.

So far all I have learned is that Myriam Joire is a blithering moron, not sure how this man became a reviewer to begin with. The whole Evo bashing thing doesn't seem to make any sense to me. Engadget claims that the Evo 3D is a huge gimmick and very "disappointing". The review says the photon records smooth 720p video, when you look at the video you can see its filled with massive frame rate drops and the quality looks no better than the Evo's video. The screen has oversaturated colors and is very pixelated but Engadget claims the display is stunning. The Photon feels plasticy and cheap in the hand compared to the Evo.

The Tegra 2 is inferior to the MSM8660 and even Engadget admits the Evo 3D is faster to use. Sense also murders Motorola BS UI. The photon also does not have support for the 800 Mhz ESMR band which the Evo does have, this will be a huge deal by the end of the year when Sprint finally rolls out service on that. The 3D feature the Evo has is just a bonus feature.

So when you consider all of these things, what exactly makes the Evo a gimmicky disappointment and the Photon a wonder of the world?

Just seems to me like most of these cretin reviewers are hell bent on bashing the "useless 3d gimmick" and completely dismiss the rest of the phones features.

F*cking idiots.
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
The part that is interesting is that the same author, Miriam, did the Evo 3D article and from what I remember about it, the only gripe was that the camera was mounted near flush so it made it possible to scratch the glass covering the lenses. Other than that I thought it was a pretty positive article about the Evo 3D. I was a little shocked to read this article too.
[HTC EVO 3D] bballer71418:
Could you point me to a site that explains the 800 band and what that will mean for us EVO users later on? Sounds interesting.

I also agree that he is an idiot. Every review has the EVO as a much better phone. I told myself I will always buy HTC but with the new buyout I'm not sure now. LOL but that's besides the point. EVO all the way!
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
I call Engadget the Apple Blog. They see Apple as the GOD of all technology and that everything else doesn't compete.
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
Well it seems that Engadget is just determined to pass the entire phone off as a gimmick and a disappointment. I'm not sure what they were expecting this phone to do, cure cancer? eradicate poverty?

The expectations seem very unrealistic.
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
I like that the Photon is a global phone though. That's a great feature.
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
"The Federal Communications Commission has approved the previously announced HTC EVO 3D for the Sprint network with an interesting and unannounced spec. The FCC has confirmed that the EVO 3D supports 800MHz CDMA in the ESMR band. The ESMR 800MHz band is what Sprint uses for its iDEN network. Sprint eventually plans to transition the ESMR band from iDEN to CDMA as part of its expansive network improvement initiative. Once that transition is complete and Sprint ports its voice services to the ESMR spectrum, the HTC EVO 3D will be able to make use of it. Sprint's main CDMA network operates in the 1900MHz PCS band.

"

http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=8261

Basically we will have better coverage and much better signal indoors as the 800Mhz ESMR band will allow for better building penetration. I believe the EVO 3D was the first sprint phone to support this. The Photon does not.
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
Agreed but for most of us, we rarely leave the country so it isn't something we would use often.

The Photon has the ability to handle many international networks but ironically can't handle the 800 Mhz ESMR band which will impact many more sprint users than the lack of GSM support on the EVO.

The Photon has better connectivity abroad and the Evo has better connectivity back home, I think for most of us the latter matters more.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
oh, shifting 2G voice service to lower bands... that's great for voice, but, I rarely have any voice issues--regardless of what the meter-bar says. It's the 3G/4G service I would love transitioned lower, but, I'll take what I can get...
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
why dont people realize that the 3d is a ****ing add on! if you dont like it, ignore it! The phone kicks major ass even when you forget it does 3d!!! And there is absolutely no UI that is more beautiful than sense! Its better than the gay iphone too!

[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
Yes he does seem to speak on the evo 3d in a negative light..so I.thought maybe i made the wrong choice and i went to the sprint store to take a look at the photon..anyways it is no competition for the e3d..the screen regardless of.its defenders say is pixelated and I was able to see individual pixels without trying to look for them..it seems like the evo got knocked for the 3d d features..I don't understand how a.reviewer can deduct points bc of an added feature..if he didn't like it then just don't add any.I'm happy I went and took a look at the photon bc it made me appreciate my phone more..even the UI was laggy on the photon..don't let these reviews get too you..the only way to make a good decision for you is to actually go and play with the products you are deciding between.
[HTC EVO 3D] SpartanEvo:
The pillars of Apple's empire...to include mobile technological & UI innovation... is crumbling.

They came along and created a product that jump-started a stagnant market. This I am thankful for. However now, Apple's ridiculous patent lawsuits, gestapo scare tactics and dwindling fan base are signs of a shift in direction...

I played with the Photon at the store. Not a bad phone... but it is no EVO 3D.

As far as Motorola goes... doesn't Google now own the Motorola mobile division? ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
Why do yall get so uptight over this stuff? Not everyone is going to like the phone, it is what it is.
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
The photon camera clearly looks better. I dont even have the photon and that much ill admit.
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
I wouldnt mind having both. Their both good phones. Funny thing: I had a phone fight the other day, 2 iPhone 4s vs my 3D and my cuzins said how come the text isn't 3D? It made me laugh so hard, I don't know why.
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
Why can't the Evo get a good camera for once? It's ridiculous.
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
I'm not bashing the Photon at all btw. I'm bashing Engadget for their nonsensical logic in bashing the EVO.

Yes, the Camera on the EVO is the weak point for sure, I do wish we could get what the SGSII has :p
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
It's not just the Evo... so far all of HTC's cameras have been ****. Supposedly thats changing with one of the new phones tmobile is getting but ill believe it when I see it.
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
I hear it's the light sensors that they use that make it sucky yucky.
[HTC EVO 3D] snoopy1e11:
They are the same but run a test and u will see the photon runs faster. Just like evo 3d is a little faster than the sensation
[HTC EVO 3D] A.Priori:
just dont read engagdet
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
What, you're gonna say Quadrant? Quadrant is optimized for certain chipsets more than others. Linpack is unbiased and isn't affected by anything. Run that and you'll see the 3D's chip is more capable. Also, the Tegra II is single-channel while the Snapdragon is dual-channel.
[HTC EVO 3D] snoopy1e11:
Run the test on linpack as I stated above and you will see same results as I stated

I know right? I don't even understand why he's still here. This never began as "3D IS BETTER THAN PHOTON" discussion; it was just about Engadget's bias.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zac95:
No the photons not. The 3d is slightly faster because we have 256mb more ram. Not true of atrix vs photon
[HTC EVO 3D] snoopy1e11:
No two phones are exactly alike no matter if they have the same chipset. Just like the graph from linpack about two pages ago look at the fascinate and the nexus s and they are clearly running the same chipset. Im not saying the photon is better than the 3d im saying its really not fair to compare the two like comparing an overclocked photon to a stock photon
[HTC EVO 3D] BrianDigital:
Engadget sucks all their news reports typically just spin fanboys into a frenzy
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
But they're different architectures. You keep saying the Photon is faster, but when we tell you to run tests, you say it's not fair to compare.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
There are a small number of Engadget reviewers that I respect so I can't say I don't like them as a whole but yeah, most come off as "pre decided" in their reviews, some have glaring omissions when making them & some will ignore a huge fault & still rate a product high.

I still read the site usually by what editor is posting. Not every article/review is worth the click.
[HTC EVO 3D] snoopy1e11:
I said the photon was faster yea but before I ran the tests I feel the transitions through everyday use the photon is faster not processor to processor I should have clarified that, my bad

And, normally I would side with the people saying, "Who cares what this person thinks," but as you mention, they should be UNBIASED!!
[HTC EVO 3D] Zac95:
The nexus and fascinate have different chipsets
[HTC EVO 3D] Zac95:
Same CPU, ram, gpu, os, UI. Equals the same. The photon is in no way faster.
[HTC EVO 3D] sbrownla:
You are fired for that comment. The iPhone is not gay. It is a piece of ****. Gay does not mean crappy.

Myriam is a blogger who spends a few days with a device and renders a verdict tainted by her paycheck, relationship with manufacturers, editors, etc. I dont trust her/his reviews any farther than I can get through reading them.

I read what people like you write, who spend their hard-earned cash and commit to devices. The rest is bull-chit.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
To be honest, HTC Sense adds a lot of baggage to the phone, and while it is nothing the MSM8660 can't handle, the Photon feeling faster I'm not surprised by. It is almost a stock build of Android not running any custom UI (Moto Blur). It should feel faster. Compare both phones running CM and then tell me the photon still feels faster.
[HTC EVO 3D] Semseddin:
It is hard to accept the facts especially for biased people but it is clear in every review that Photon 4g is just better than your evo 3d in every fcking department. You have to live with that forever instead of misinforming readers. I know it is sad for real htc fans to realize that motorola came from behind and outperformed all htc phones in 2011, both in real life and reviews.

Be happy with what you got instead of misinforming people that your phone is better than a photon 4g, which is just lame.

hah, a person who founded a company around the motorola brand is accusing people here of being fanboys

They're both good phones and they both have their strong and weak points, the photon does great for having somewhat aged hardware and the Evo 3D still has a long way to go before the software is optimized for the new chipset. In the end it just comes down to what works best for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zac95:
Lolololol. Evo 3d> everything motorolas ever made. My screen isn't polka dotted, my phone actually works, the devs behind my phone are awesome. Wait there's no devs behind the photon. Don't come dragging your ridiculous opinions around. After the 2.3.4 ota, the 3d has almost the same battery life as photon, even faster now and it was already faster. Sense is worlds better and that's quite unanimously accepted. Oh, and its not made by Motorola.

The snapdragon is a superior CPU to the tegra, we have a better gpu, and all of our ram runs faster then the photons.

You didn't even give a reason the photons better your post is pathetic

The only things the Photon has on the 3D are GSM support (which btw doesn't work in North America) and better radios. Performance-wise, the 3D has more potential as well as developer support.
