[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] StrykerGT:
I got a Galaxy Tab 10.1 on Saturday and I really like it but there is one thing that is killing me. My issue is video on Browser or Dolphin HD. If I'm watching a video I can see that the videos are skipping frames. If I try to use the slider to go back or forward that simply doesn't work at all it jumps and sometimes the video just restarts. I try the same video side by side with an iPad and an iPad2 and the video looks normal and I can go back and forth without any problems. Is anything I can do to fix this?

Thanks
[Galaxy 3 General] plbackup:
I have a Samsung Galaxy 3 (i5801) which got in the hands of a kid and he failed at the pattern lock too many times so now its locked at the enter Google account information screen. And I can't seem to get past it as I don't know which account was used to activate this phone (a gift from someone, who had activated it but can't seem to remember his password)

Now before I do a hard reset, I really need to backup and save my SMS and contacts at least, to PC, so I can later restore them somehow. Can someone tell me my options? I don't have the Micro-usb cable yet, but I will get it today and start experimenting. But I was wondering if the /data/data/com.android..... folder is even accessible when connected with USB? I am hoping that I will be able to set USB debugging to on by calling on the phone and accessing the main menu from there.

I have both Win XP and Ubuntu, so any solution based on either platform will be appreciated.
[Galaxy 3 General] Dharam_Maniar:
Well, just flash g3mod kernel, and your phone will go to usb debugging mode on connecting to USB...

even better option you want to try is use the multiboot feature...so you can boot into another ROM, have your contacts and messages there...and then backup using any possible method :)

is there anyway to have flash for opera9.7 (36023)...? cause i think that i have tried everything offered out there with no "good" outcomes...lol...can someone please help me...if its even possible...?...thanks in advance... ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uli71:
I'm afraid there is no way to get flash working within Opera 9.7.

But you can try uZard Web P, a server based browser.

Maybe that's what you are searching for.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phordych05:
thanks...yeah i know about uzard...i just don't like the way it works and the look...opera you can use diniks style...pinch to zoom...etc...etc...thank youfor it help...at least you answered...lol...THANKS...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uli71:

Is it possible to connect acer iconia via micro hdmi to pc monitor dvi. I tried with dvi converter but no signal, connecting to hdmi works fine.
[Acer Iconia A500] frankws:
I have a DVI connection on my tv and I can connect some things that are hdmi with the hdmi to dvi adapter and some things will not work.

So maybe and maybe not.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
does not work for me

Using a pretty decent Sony LCD TV with both dvi and hmdi inputs - hooking my a500 up via DVI adapter results in no signal, where as plugging into the HDMI port works great.

I am far from an expert at this, but I *think* if you want to use DVI you need some form of hardware converter box to result in a useable signal. I am sure I will be corrected if i am wrong :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] scottw714:
Check here.

I would bet you DVI converter doesn't match the TV input.

There are 4 possibilities, DVI-I & DVI-D, both available in single or dual band.

I believe HDMI has to have one of the dual band converters, for HD and to pass the HDCP info so that protected content can play.

I went through this a couple months ago with my computer and TV set-up, DVI is a total pain with HDMI because of the HDCP requirements.

Also verify that your monitor is HDCP compliant, if it's not I believe you are out of luck. It needs that connection before HDMI will transmit.
[Acer Iconia A500] dito33:
I try to connect to 22" pc monitor at work, I have no interest connecting to tv via dvi since hdmi working great. With same dvi adapter I connect my laptop hdmi out to pc monitor dvi works great but iconia hdmi out to the same dvi in no signal. Some of the pc monitors are a acer and some dell result in same no signal, I really like to duplicate what I was doing with my laptop to use large screen at work but I guess that doesn't work.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Taebom:
Nice guide bro.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kyrumo71:
The Incredible 2 or VIVO is not an option in the Beta key?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rivera82falcon:
The incredible 2 is definitely an option when obtaining a beta key. Unless you are refering to something else?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kyrumo71:
My bad, my work computer is crappy, the 2 does not show up on my browser lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ben805:
NICE, this thread should be sticky. ;)

On a side note, make sure you have your phone connected to wifi or 3G if you want the revolutionary tool to download and install the CWM automatically. If not then you would have to flash the CWM manually per the instruction from OP.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rivera82falcon:
I went to the site just now and HTC DROID Incredible 2 is the 6th option down in the device list. If it still doesn't show up, test another pc or try it on your phone. All you need is the key anyways.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thadroidz:
Thanks for this guide...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Darkpsych0:
Awesome thanks but question. my computer keeps saying usb device not recognized every like 5 seconds when my phone is connected and in bootloader. Is that suppose to be like that?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rivera82falcon:
I will say it is okay as this happens to my PC as well. The files still transfer and CWM flashes through fastboot as well.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Darkpsych0:
Mmk. I downloaded ROM Manager but everytime i start it up it says "You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su/" or "system/xbin/su"

I have the file on the root of the sdcard and im pretty sure i rooted it with revolutionary and installed CWM as well.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
Ok... Dumb question... where do we find the fastboot and adb zips to install on the C drive??
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Flightmed:
I have gotten thru step 8 and failed whentrying to install CWM. I manually installed it with step 9 and it said finished. Step 10 says to select recovery but it is not listed. I rebooted to see if that would work but it didnt. Where did I go wrong?

EDIT: Actually it did work just was trying to hard. Thanks for the great instructions.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rivera82falcon:
@ Darkpsycho0

try installing busybox from the market and give it a try again.

@PacerguyDon

The links are in the OP.

It's next to the one that has the img file as well. There is only one zip file and it contains both items in it.

@Flightmed

Power down, and get back into HBoot. You will see the following options:

Fastboot

Recovery

Factory Reset

Simlock

Hboot Usb

Image CRC

The second option (Recovery) is what you want.

EDIT: Glad you got it working!!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
Got it... thanks, Found it a few minutes after posting :o
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rivera82falcon:
It happens...we get so excited that we tend to overlook the obvious. Kind of like my wife...I love her to death and I love to make love to her but I overlooked the obvious that she is also crazy. Oh well...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Darkpsych0:
Busybox said "Root not found! The su binary was not found on your phone." -_____-
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rivera82falcon:
Thinking about it and looking back...I didn't complete the instructions on applying root. I apologize to you and everyone else.

When you have CWM installed, open it up through recovery. Next, as long as you copied the signed zip file to the root of your sdcard, select "Install Zip From SDCard" (5th Option).

Select "Choose Zip from SDCard" (2nd Option)

Select the zip file (su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip)

Choose Yes and wait. Once done, reboot and you should be good!

Again, I apologize. I will update main post asap!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Darkpsych0:
That worked.. no more error thanks. I was about to throw my phone across the room especially since while i was waiting for replies I was trying to just install new themes but can't get Astros to work with the apk files correctly. -_- (still can't)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] junknstuff:
I'm already rooted via 2.2 but this is a great guide for the truly n00b.

Should be seeing lots of new members posting in the development section soon ;!)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] udg21:
can you explain fully how to do this with linux..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MJL99:
You can download ubuntu from their website. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download Create a live cd or use a usb stick and boot into ubuntu instead of windows. wont replace your windows operating system, unless you want it to. it comes with firefox so you can download revolutionary after ubuntu is booted up. once download, you should be able to run without having to install drivers or anything.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] siskiou:
Thanks for this detailed guide!

I'm running into a problem with my Win7 64-bit computer, though.

The usb device is not recognized, even though I've installed the driver from the list, and set the phone to disk drive mode and debugging.

Do I need a different driver? I've already searched high and low, but have found nothing that worked.

Manually updating the driver has also failed.

I'd appreciated any hints!

Edited to add: it doesn't work on my husband's XP machine, either.

I don't have the original data cable. Could that be the problem?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
Does this stop the capacitive buttons from rotating? And how could I get back to stock after using this?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
The issue with the captive buttons is when you use custom roms like cm7 and miui, they will turn fine if you just continue using the stock rom. The actually rooting does not effect the buttons.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
Flawless. Thank you.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ph1nn:
This guide worked perfectly on the first try... thanks!

Now what to do next... perhaps a step 13 with a link to a guide to installing custom ROMs.

follow-up: my bad, all i had to do was download some ROMs and install ROM Manager from the Market :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Epicardium:
Great guide! Here's the linux missing pieces...

Thank you for this tutorial. Got me up and running in no time. For those who want to use linux, this is what you need to do (sorry if this is already mentioned somewhere): Linux notes are in red...

Installing Root:

1 - First, install the HTC drivers on your computer. It is a very simple step and you should have no issues doing this at all. Also look at your installed programs list and confirm HTC Sync is not installed. This will stop your device from being detected by Revolutionary to other problems when rooting.

SKIP THIS STEP. LINUX DOESN'T NEED ANY MORE STINKING DRIVERS

2 - Extract the Fastboot and ABD zip file onto the root of your local disk drive (ex. C:\android-win-tools )

Be sure you have the 'android-linux-tools' file. One of the links in the OP links to the wrong one. Extract them anywhere you wish, so long as you remember where. You will be using terminal to get into the location later.

3 - Copy/Cut and Paste the CWM img file into the Fastboot and ABD folder (ex. C:\android-win-tools\cwm-4.0.1.4-vivow.img) Doing this will prep your PC to flash CWM in the event the Revolutionary tool does not download and install it.

I really don't think this will be problem on a linux machine, so long as your computer is connected to the internet. You can probably skip this step.

4 - Place phone in "Disk Drive" mode then Copy/Cut and Paste the root su zip file (do not extract it) onto the root of your SDCard on your phone (ex. x:\su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip )

Same on Linux

5 - Place phone in "Charge Only" mode. A lot ot people run into issues and not realize this was not selected.

Same on Linux

6 - Run the Revolutionary file now that everything is set to go.

This is the mildly tricky part. Open terminal and navigate to the place you extracted the files in step 2. Now, use these commands:

sudo chmod +x revolutionary

sudo ./revolutionary **there is a dot in front of the slash!!

Now, assuming it recognized your phone, it will have a line looking something like this:

"Enter beta key [ serial: xxxxxxxxxxxx ]:"

This, incidently is the serial number you should have entered to get your key. If this isn't the number you used, go back and get a key again from the revolutionary website.

7 - You will get a prompt to enter your beta code. This is the code you received when you downloaded the revolutionary file and entered the information to obtain the beta key.

Same here. Enter the code when prompted.

8 - Sit back and WAIT while the application does what is needed. This process will take anywhere from 3 to 5minutes so be PATIENT.

Same

9 - Upon completion, you will get a prompt to install CWM. Say yes here! Once done skip to step 10.

Same
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] siskiou:
My data cable was the problem, and after some frustrating "waiting for device" and doing the battery pull/HBOOT USB PLUG routine, my phone is now rooted! :)

Thanks again for this great guide!

Edited to add: I spoke too soon! Superuser kept force closing, and Titanium backup and dropbox were not working, so I went into recovery and reinstalled the CWM backup.

Now my phone is stuck at "no service" and an endless "LOADING. It may take several minutes to complete. Please wait...

Problem solved. After pulling the battery, I could boot into recovery and re-flash the rom.

I still wonder why the CWM backup didn't work. If someone could point me to a tutorial how to get back to stock, if I ever need to, I'd appreciate it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] buddhafool:
Nice tutorial. I was trying to root just using the instructions on unrevoked site and it never mentioned the "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip file" that needed to be installed. I guess the instructions there were just generic for all phones and did not include this DINC2 specific step.

Anyways, thanks for all the good info.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RRF12:
Thanks I used to this to obtain root was very good instructions I am now s off just removed all the bloat can not decide on if I want to flash a rom because I would have to redo all my apps should i remove the file i placed on the root of my sd card or does it stay there
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
Download Titanium Backup from the market, back up all your apps, then wipe, flash a ROM, and download it again from your market. Your backups will not be wiped because they are stored on the sd card and will be recognized when you redownload TB. You just hit restore missing apps. If you buy the full version, you dont have to hit install for every app. Hope this helped. I love custom ROMS.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RRF12:
Yes thanks I think I will try the skyraider rom
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pastalero:
So I'm confused,what's with the 2.3.3? Is 2.3.4 in China?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] spiderj:
I am new to rooting. One thing I am confused about after rooting is the radio thing? Do I HAVE to flash a new radio after rooting or are radios included with the custom Roms? I am thinking of flashing Incredible 2 3D v1.0.1 but not sure if I am supposed to do the radio first or if thats even necessary.

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] siskiou:
I've only flashed two Roms, and both had radios (Skyraider Zeus and debloated Stock).

Got a question: should fastboot stay turned off (early in the instructions), or can it be turned back on? I'm very new to all this and have no clue about these things. Only managed the rooting thanks to this tutorial.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MedleHed:
Radios are not included in ROMs. Kernels are included in ROMs. Flashing a ROM does not flash a new radio. There is a radio thread in the INC 2 forum here somewhere.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14945864

Check it out to make sure you radio is current. The version # can be found in settings. It is the baseband #.

And generally you don't have to update your radio to use a specific ROM.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MedleHed:
Fast boot can be turned back on, but it will adversely affect your ability to get into the bootloader or recovery in some situations. So just be aware you may need to turn fast boot back off for certain procedures.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] spiderj:
Thanks for the clarification and link.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Ducaticorse:
I used the earlier instructions for Linux from Post 188 but did it on a Mac running VirtualBox with an install of Debian. I had some trouble at first but after adding my folder with ADB and fastboot to the PATH, it worked fine. Without adding those to the PATH, I kept stalling at "Waiting for fastboot..."

S-Off and Rooted. Thanks to all for the instructions, walk-through and tools. :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
Thanks for the guide. It worked great. Revolutionary installed recovery with no issues. Thanks again.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] scoobntaz1996:
so did i read somewhere that the front facing camera does not work after doing this root?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Ducaticorse:
On my DInc2, the front facing camera works fine after root. It may be that there are some custom ROMs with front facing camera issues, but running the stock rom with S-OFF and root/SU using this process, the front facing camera works fine.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] meandg5:
Phone rooted fine, have CWM, superuser is there, BUT the market won't open!! Any ideas? Thanks, Howie
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HeadingWest:
Thanks

Works great. Upgraded from the Eris with the OTA already pushed, and now I'm rooted again. Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cac2us:
The latest shipped ROM version.

Does anybody know what the latest shipped ROM version might be on the DInc II that I will get on the 15th.?

It was shipped form PA for some reason. I live in MT.

I ordered it over the phone and got a $50.00 instant rebate + $50.00 off for being a good 5 line familly plan customer, but since I am going to switch it to another line, I can't get the $100.00 simple phone upgrade rebate.

If I were to have tried to go through Wirefly or any other vender, They would have charged full price for changing lines within 181 days...

So for $99.99 it was worth the DInc II...

Hopefully it will come with 2.2 and just need the OTA or 2.3 and be ready for revolutionary.

Looking at giving my wife my DInc I for gamming....

The things we do fo love...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Darkpsych0:
I highly doubt you'll get 2.2.. most likely you'll get 2.3
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fusion.Coil:
IIRC, all the INC2s have come with 2.3 since August. I have seen a rare 1 or 2 postings about getting a Froyo inc2, but I dunno how much faith I put in that. Expect it to come 2.3 loaded and full of bloat.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cory.spicer:
For whatever it's worth, I got my Dinc2 in mid August from Amazon (for free!) and it did come with Froyo. The OTA update occurred very shortly after the initial startup though.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jacslx:
Help,

Downloaded all files, installed the HTC drivers as specified in the first post. Phone is debugged, and fast boot is off. Set In charge mode. I ran revolutionary.exe, entered the beta key, success. The problem lies in Im stuck at the "Zerging Root.... this might take a minute or so.. " way longer than 5min (about 15min each time). Restarted the process 4 times now, getting no further. Thanks...

Edit...

Tried using my net book to do this, downloaded and installed drivers other associated files, prepped phone, same thing. :( Stuck on "Zerging Root".... been about 15min now.... help?

New phone with 2.3.4

I got a new Dinc 2 today as a warranty replacement for my aging Inc 1. Perhaps foolishly, I let the phone go through it's full activation cycle and firmware updates.

The firmware is showing Android 2.3.4. Will the method in this thread, or any other currently known for that matter, work with 2.3.4?

Flooding situation done with finally. I see that there are new developments with firmwares and hboots. I need to look into this before I can assist you all.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fusion.Coil:
According to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1269475

With the new OTA, a new HBOOT was dropped onto your stock phone (HBOOT version.98) that will not root using this or any current software method. Also no confirmation on if the XTC clip works, though I suspect since it's hardware the answer is yes. So my conclusion would be to not attempt this root procedure on any Inc2 device using android 2.3.4 with HBOOT .98)

YMMV.
