[Dell Streak 7] CMWCivic:
I have followed the directions on how to install adb drives to a t on 2 different computers and still I am having no luck. One of my computers see it with the adb device(under device manager) but I can not get it to do anything and the other computer only sees it as a fastboot device. Both of my laptops have windows 7 on them. When my s7 had 2.2 on it I was able to flash with out using CWM. Now I am just lost with trying use CWM and rooting my s7. Is there another way of putting CWM on my s7 with out using adb? I would greatly appreciate any help. I am feeling like a total noob right now.:( :confused:
[Dell Streak 7] redistributer:
if your running windows 7 or vista make sure you boot windows without driver signing enforcement running. To do this simply press F8 before the windows boot logo and and choose disable driver signature enforcement.

if you have already installed the drivers before booting into ddse use the pnputil via the windows command prompt to force removal of the previous drivers. pnputil -e will enumerate the choices find the oem## of the device driver with the description that matches the driver you wish to remove.

Make sure you run your command prompts for both asdk and when using pnputil. Start->All Programs->Accessories right click command prompt and choose run as administrator.

Hope this helps
[Dell Streak 7] CMWCivic:
Thank you, I will try that when I get home.

I too would like to root my stock S7 Honeycomb 3.2

OK folks.. total noob here. I purchased the Dell Streak 7 Wifi recently with 2.2.2 on it. I quckly found out to my dismay that it could not do adhac wifi. Not sure what the big deal is, but I'd like control over the device I purchased! Since then it was updated to Honeycomb 3.2.

Any guidance for a noob to get this thing rooted so I can work to make the adhoc wifi changes? Or any other alternative? I tried rooting it when on 2.2.2 as well to no avail.

I'm very close to giving this thing to my wife as toy for games and buy a W7 tablet.

Argh! Help! Never so dissappointed in Android, which is an open plateform.. humm, not sure how that works but it doesn't feel that way to me.

Today I took a journey to the coast. I checked my battery on the ride there and it was around 34%. I was listening to music via poweramp. Around 20 mins later, I checked my phone and it was down to 19%! I had turned off data, GPS etc. all the usual things. What could cause a massive battery drain in such a small space of time? I assume it must be jumping from signal to (weak) signal.

I never have this problem at work or home, only when I travel to certain areas.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdetroit:
Hi. I just received my Xoom back after the 4G upgrade and now I'm unable to root. I've followed all the steps, but when I type fastboot oem unlock, the command prompt just says <Waiting for Device> (I've confirmed that ADB can see the device), and that's it....it just sits there. Can anyone help me?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammer4203:
Did you boot up the xoom? And do a DB reboot bootloader? Then fastboot OEM unlock?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdetroit:
Yes I did...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammer4203:
Was it unlocked when you sent in? If so it may still be unlocked.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdetroit:
It was unlocked, but they've upgraded the software to 3.2.2 and it's locked again.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammer4203:
It might not be. They don't have to lock it to flash it. And they probly didn't check either.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdetroit:
Ok....pardon the ignorance but how can I tell? I no longer have Superuser. I can't even flash a custom image. Should I downgrade it to 3.0, Root, and then flash it with the Custom 3.2.2 found here on XDA?...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammer4203:
No not that way it screws it up! Use this and only this! Skip the unlock and see if the files work, then you know you were still unlocked.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdetroit:
Hammer....tried that....no matter what, once the Xoom bootloader reboots, all I get is: Starting Fastboot Protocol Support. Nothing else happens and my adb windows just sits there and says Waiting for Devices.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
That's because your timing is slightly off, and you're letting the stock recovery overwrite your custom recovery. You have to "catch the boot"

You can follow these steps:4. Install recovery image (CWM)

If you haven't done it already, download the recovery image file and save it to your computer in the Platform Tools folder.

(Download the recovery image from this link: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1074979 only the img file flashed through fastboot Remember, never try to flash a zip file through fastboot!)

4.1 Boot into flash mode with 'adb reboot bootloader.'

4.2 Install your downloaded recovery image: 'fastboot flash recovery recovery-solarnz-100611-1150.img' or whatever is the exact name of the recovery img file you are flashing.

4.3 Enter CWM recovery with the procedure below.

4.4 Restart the device with 'fastboot reboot'. Timing is essential here, so be alert when the device restarts, or you will have to redo section 4.

4.5 Once the Motorola logotype is shown, start counting to 3. At 3, press the Volume Down button. This should result in the text 'Android Recovery' in the top left corner. If it does not work (if you see Starting Fastboot Protocol), experiment with the timing (see below).

4.6 When 'Android Recovery' is shown press the Volume Up button. This should invoke the CWM recovery menu. If that works, then congratulations for getting this far!

Here is a potential pitfall. If you are unable to enter CWM *before* the device boots into Honeycomb, then the newly installed recovery image will be overwritten by the system default recovery. Just repeat steps 4.1 through 4.6 if that happens.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom_S:
I got mine back yesterday morning then used the Universal Xoom Root instructions and files to root it yesterday afternoon. Perfect!

-ts
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdetroit:
I've tried that...won't work. As far as my timing being off....I'm literally watching the Screen the whole time...I never even get anything except the Fastboot Protocol screen...nothing changes. I simply can't go further. I've tried loading the img file (Step 4), but can't even get that far. I've spent an hour on the phone with Motorola yesterday and after being bounced to 5 different techs, they told me to contact the developer.....which I've done, with no success. I'm almost tempted to send this damn thing back and ask them to revert my device and install an older OS onto it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammer4203:
Let the device boot all the way and make sure debugging is checked.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdetroit:
It is. That was the first thing I've checked.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammer4203:
Then androidsdk may be fubar. Reload your sdk and try again. Make sure to use the newest and download all the files it needs. Redownload the root files too. Then see what happens. My sdk had to be updated when I bought my xoom.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdetroit:
Ah, I will do that. Matter of fact, I'll download it to my other laptop...which never had any sort of anything SDK related on it, give it a fresh start. Thanks....will do this when I get home this evening.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdetroit:
No such luck. Step two: Fastboot oem unlock....window says: < waiting for device > and my xoom just sits there and says: Starting Fastboot Protocol Support.

I've tried this on a totally different laptop, brand new SDK installed, fastboot, and the motorola drivers for the xoom. I'm at my wits end.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdetroit:
Nevermind. IT WORKED. I ended up using my work laptop. Something's wonky with both of my personal laptops....either way, it's now unlocked. Thanks for everyone's help and patience.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammer4203:
Ur welcome! Also remember your mouse on a desktop? Took me weeks to figure out the damn thing was causing the bsod errors, and it seemed to work perfectly fine. I would back up your computers you have issues with and do a fresh install on them. I do every 6mo or so.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiThBo:
By moving the dalvik cache to the sd-ext, does it slow the rom down?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedmarcus:
Some people will say yes, some people will say no...

From personal use I'll say I've moved my dalvik cache to my sd card on a couple of rom's and never noticed a difference. I wouldn't recommend it with a class 2 sd card, but with class 4 and above it should be fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
I never felt any difference and I have been practicing this long before alternate hboot's came into play.

Also card's wear is reduced and supposedly battery life a bit better by a marginal value equal to those of havs/svs, hardkeys backlight on/off etc.

Again:

Class = minimal sequential write speed -> large files.

Random writes -> dalvik cache.

Hence, cards class only guarantees card will perform at it's rated speed with sequential writes. Unfortunately increase in sequential speed doesn't mean linear increase in random. Or put bluntly, this justifies why some people could run data2sd scripts with lower end cards better than the others who had better cards.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedmarcus:
Saw you having a similar conversation with island3r in the insertcoin thread :D

AGAIN: "http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...i,2940-11.html

Scroll down to sequential write. As the class goes up (in direct relation to the card's brand quality) sequential write speeds go up as well.

Of course, for instance, a Kingston class 6 is going to be faster than a Adata class 10.

But as a general rule (especially between the same brand), the higher the class, the higher the speed."
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
This time I am better prepared, second. Couldn't find it last night for the love of God otherwise that argument would be over quickly.

EDIT:

Now, I don't suppose that creator of data2sd scripts knows anything better than island3r or Tom's hardware, but that's just the way it is. Your choice whom are you going to take for serious. :)

I suppose you are going to start rant about 720p recording in dalvik thread like he did? :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiThBo:
Thanks for the replies. But I think i will leave it where it is on the internal memory because my SD-ext is only 512mb and I am running out of space
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedmarcus:
Nah... I was just messing with you :D

I'm a noob really and don't understand much of this "data2sd scripts" and all that malarky. From my personal experience I was using a class 4 8gb with the dalvik on the card and found no issues with it. No lag's or pauses or anything. I've since moved to a class 10 16gb and decided to keep my dalvik on the nand because I don't need the extra space for 100's of apps like some people do - my needs for apps are simple :)

IF I did have a class 2 I'd be a bit worried about putting the dalvik onto it, but like you said, it depends on the random read/write speeds the card can handle.

ps: you should have had that answer the other day with island3r :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
As I said I couldn't find it last night. I have no doubt he will see it here too. This puts a nice finishing touch to who was right and who was wrong so I have no need to reignite that discussion again :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cryptik!:
So have anyone noticed various apps incompatibility issues?

I noticed this after updating to CM7.1 that my navionics app was "incompatible" from the market place even though I had it on the stock device.

After flashing back to stock/cognition, it worked again.

Today I flashed to the "unnamed" rom, now I noticed that some games, like Let's Golf! 3 is incompatible.

This brings me to the question, what is the official LCD density of the AT&T SGS2 so that I can set with an app or something to ensure the greatest compatibility of apps?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] poofyhairguy:
The official density is 240. I too found problems when getting away from that so I have left it alone. I am used to the bigger fonts now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cryptik!:
What app did you use to set the LCD density?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] auswims:
You can modify the build.prop file in the system folder. The app I use is 'Root Explorer' and the method is below:

The line to modify is 'ro.sf.lcd_density=240'

- make sure folder is mounted as 'R/W'

- long press the 'build.prop' and select 'open in text editor'

- change the current value (240 in the example above)

- hit save and exit

- reboot

Your existing build prop is saved as a .bak file

This is the process I use with 'Root Explorer' - may work similarly with other file apps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] spbluffmaster:
Hey, try Font Size app and select small fonts... I use tht.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jr866gooner:
Should I be concerned that the app states that malicious or rogue apps can send personal info out? I guess were at risk even with the stock calendar aren't we? Its not just warning us about this app in general is it? Can someone reassure me/us please? Thank you!

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jr866gooner:
I'm going to take a stab in the dark,this must be warning us that a rogue app Thu you might install by mistake could lead to your personal info being sent out.NOT necessarily smooth calendar doing the sending out....?!?

You can only flash .tar files in PDA, those are your standard set of files (ffs,data,cache,modem,kernel,etc).

You can flash .bin files only under PHONE.

I'm curious about this too.

just flashed it, so i'll report back around this time tomorrow i guess. i get crazy LOS while at work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skyedream:
same here i'm flashing the modem now. i'll keep you posted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ptfdmedic:
Be careful using odin. If you have never used it, read the instructions before trying.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Subiegsr:
Curious as well. I'm on lostboys kernel at the moment. Seems to have solved the Los issue for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Familiar Joe:
I switched back after trying a few different roms and kernels to stock everything while keeping root and have not had any LOS issues since then (about 24 hours so far). If I have any trouble tomorrow and so fourth I may give this a go, anything to fix this dreaded problem!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skyedream:
Flashed the modem last night and now there is new problem.

Never got the big circle line across through it but after couple hrs after wifi is on,

I see the signal about 4bars but not getting any text can't send can't call only web through

The wifi. I turned off the wifi 3g wont kicks back and still showing the yet

No text and call and data.then I turn the 4g on and only the data works.

I have reboot to get it back on track. Its almost the same as los but I just can see the

Bars that doesn't work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Walzbeer:
well, no change for me.

any difference for anybody else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skyedream:
with this problem i tried calling the sprint CS to speak with them and plus to get the MSL code. after i explain about how the bar has 3 or 4 and not getting any signal and etc." she told me to follow these steps ##72786# then your MSL code,

ok ok reboots and ok ok reboots again. this will resets something and should work fine.

so i tried and gotta wait and use the phone for couple days now.

i'll keep you posted of how it works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisnosleep:
Any news yet as to whether this works or not?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skyedream:
here is the good new, i never had LOS today at all when i used to have at least 3 times a day before that steps. as of now i guess it worked... at least so far.

so here is what i did. i flashed the modem then i follow that step there and didn't had LOS since.

i'll let you guys know if i didn't had LOS again or not tomorrow night. probably i'll update you guys till either LOS hits me or i could pass the a whole week with out getting LOS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] athlet1c:
I have used This method several times, on 2 different phones Its a hit or miss. Also be sure to update the profile after.

Although. No LOS I mainly get a poor antenna signal unless I'm like 10 ft near my airrave. I just believe. It's a Samsung issue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skyedream:
I still not having any LOS yet since its only the day 3 after that steps I mentioned I need to wait and see more. Ill come back update u guys tonight if the LOS hits me or not today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skyedream:
Damn.. sorry for the disappointment guys.. just had LOS,..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] freecharlesmanson:
I have also found that reflashing the modem can help wifi issues. For instance I flashed viper boys rom initially had horrible wifi signal and speed, flashed the modem boom problem solved....and still no los issues at all coming from 5 to 8 los incidents a day
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
Something funny here, I just gave up the Photon because of this exact same issue!!! I would have my phone setting there with full bars with WIFI on and internet worked fins, but no calls or txt in or out. I posted all that on Moto/Sprint/androidforums and here in the photon section.

If this happens to my new SGS2 then Sprint is really going to here it from me!!!! I switched to the SGS2 because of this same thing on the photon.... sounds like it is a Sprint issue with some software screwing up the phones cell radio.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andygallo:
I did this exact same thing on Sunday. So far I've had no more los issues (except for last night, but that was in a bar that I never have signal in, signal was fine after I left). I believe this is an equivelant of an EFS clear in Odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
So is having no signal the same as the what the people are talking about with LOS? What I read here is the phone cell radio locks up and only a reboot fixes it, not just being out of cell range.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eyecon82:
people are getting either no singal (circle with cross through it)

or they have a singal, but the data simply doesn't work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
Do they get the signal back with the no signal circle? If not then that is what I was seeing as well on the Photon.

So this issue is, mostly, is what I was seeing on the Photon, as well as many other users. So what would be the same on both phones that would cause the same issue??? And are any other phones seeing this, like the E3D and Galaxy S.... HMMMM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eyecon82:
yes, in both cases (circle with line through it, and full bars) you have to reset the phone for it to work again....the radio just jams up...only thing that works is 4g but that's a different chip
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andygallo:
As far as I know, the symptom is that it looks like you lost signal (circle with line thru it instead of signal strength and message on lockscreen saying "Searching for signal..."), but it happens in places that definately have signal. It happened to me inside a Sprint store. Usually I'd have to reboot to make it reconnect, sometime just toggling airplane mode worked. It was annoying tho, since it was happening like once an hour. Been smooth sailing since I did the reset with CS tho, we'll see how long this lasts...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eyecon82:
I get the same thing except i still show full signal...the up and down bars just don't appear and data is jammed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
Yep this is the exact same thing the Photon is doing now in their threads, as well as mine, and that is why I switched phones......

So calling the CSM doing that code seems to have worked. Let me go ahead and post that over in the Photon forums to see if it helps those poor folks out.

Looking more and more like a Sprint issue since it is on two phones from two different companies.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eyecon82:
it could be because samsung, htc, etc all use the same wifi/3g chip?

the iphone on my account is fine...it just has slow data speeds, but that's on sprint's end....data doesn't lock up requiring a reset
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
The Photon is sporting a totally different chip from the 3D and the SGS2. I really think it is a software flub that Sprint requires on the phones and once it locks up it shows the radio being locked up. Now that I see this is happening here is opens a whole new avenue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eyecon82:
I hope i don't have to jump on the iphone bandwagon just to have a working phone...wtf
