[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siftekhar:
Hi,

I am currently trying on new ROMs (ICS for Nexus S i9020t).

I was wondering if I can back up my apps before trying new ROMs and restore them on the newly installed ROMs.

Can this be done? I just want to backup the apps, like gmail,clock settings, gentle alarm (w/settings) etc.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinik420:
Use titanium
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntax_gosong:
Yes you can.

Use Titanium Backup to do this.

You can find it here.

Hey guys, im trying to get a New ROM, like Gingerbread Stock, or any custom but i cant get the 3g works. I tried a lot of tutorials to recuperate, but unfortunatelly cant. If someone know about a "latin" ROM can you post here please? Thanks, and sorry for my English
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Uan_ar:
Did you get the new UBKPD nor the old UBKB1? Did you make a backup of your efs folder? Did you use the Galaxy Sim Unlock of Hellroz?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lucasred:
As he says, you should have a backup of your EFS folder, also flash via Odin a Modem that features the bands that work in your country, for example we guys at Argentina use the LUBKB1 Modem
[HTC EVO 3D] tomanlam:
so my evo 3d is HK GSM EVO 3D with HBOOT 1.49.0012

and when i try to unlock my device using HTC's method, i was able to get the identifier token and sent to htc's server and received the Unlock_code.bin

but no matter what i try, the command fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

ALWAYS gives the error "FAILED: signature verify failed" after the file was SUCCESSFULLY sent to the device

any idea guys? i'm desperate for a root

:confused:

any help will be appreciated:D

THX!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] bailz2506:
You are obviously new to this.

Where it says to run command via adb

Fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code

In adb you need to write

fastboot flash unlock token ....then put in the code HTC gave you , don't write unlock_code
[HTC EVO 3D] tomanlam:
What do u mean by "the code htc gave me", isn't that the unlock_code.bin?

Or do I have to open the file with notepad and copy all the content?

Sorry for my dumbness:D
[HTC EVO 3D] Twolazyg:
Try running an RUU, HTC failed in so many ways to unlock the bootloader that some people need to RUU for the unlock to work. After the RUU, boot into fastboot and type

fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

Don't change anything in the Unlock_code.bin, or you will make your phone explode.
[HTC EVO 3D] tomanlam:
thx for ur help! But in fact, i have tried downloading latest ruu for my hk evo 3d but still no luck...:o

i cant flash ruu for other countries' devices/carriers (e.g. Rogers, Vodafone), right?

P.S. : My device has software 1.22.708.5 and it's the LATEST for HK;)
[HTC EVO 3D] sheng.liu:
Solution

I have fixed it by changing the folder name, where the fastboot.exe and Unlock_coder.bin are, into "adb".

Hi Guys,

I recently upgraded from 2.2 to 2.3 Now when ever my wife sends me a video mms it now shows up as a slideshow. Anyway to correct this problem?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alaq:
You can download a video player app and see if it plays it...

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
Got a new NC, installed CM7.1, it rocks.

Got a couple of questions, and I haven't been able to find answers after a week's worth of searching.

1. Any way to get the "n" button to put it to sleep, rather than having to use the power button? Basically I'd like the "n" button to be near-dedicated wake-sleep.

2. I have an app on my phone called "Task Tray" that I REALLY like. I put it on my nook but it doesn't work. Seems it defaults to long-press of the search button, but the tablet-tweaks search button doesn't activate it with a long-press. Anyone know of a way to fix this, or to get a similar app that can be mapped, say, to a long-press of the "n" button or something?

Other than that, the NC rocks! I'm addicted.
[Ideos S7 General] Huaweis7:
My s7 does not boot up correctly and it says "update failed, try again". it always appear when i turn it on. after the message appears, i cannot turn it off. so i have to remove the battery. my s7 - 105 does not boot and keeps getting that error. do anybody have a solution for this situation. please anyone reply. please help.:confused:
[Ideos S7 General] kosenn:
Put the firmware upgrade for your model on a memory card, remove the battery to power off, then put it back in. When you boot your tablet the upgrade should start automatically. After the update shows OK make sure you remove the memory card before you reboot your tablet.
[Ideos S7 General] threader:
I ha to remove a log file on the SD card and insert it again, redo the flash, then it worked. Dont worry, there is life it will be ok.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mettleh3d:
Been using BLN from the awesome new kernels and I hadn't seen this question in the General section so thought I'd ask.

In my Settings > Display > Display Settings > Event > choose Emails (since I use the Gmail app, the samsung Email is dormant so there should be no reason for the screen to wake). Screen still wakes on SMS. Is this just the case by default or am I missing something?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
I'm pretty sure that is because of the stock Samsung messaging app that it wakes by default. If you install something like goSMS pro you should have the option to not wake the screen.

[Samsung Mesmerize] Jane deaux:
I've tried every method. Odin doesn't recognize my phone. I've downloaded drivers a half dozen times. I've gotten every file set up only to have odin just sit there without giving me a com.

Then I've tried several versions of z4, oneclickroot, and gingerbreak. Nothing works. I'm wondering if there's just no way to root or flash my phone.

I'm on an sgs i500.04

Gingerbread 2.3.5

K EI20

Was rooted with oneclick till update, through kies, to gingerbread.

Cspire.

Anyone please help. I'm going a little crazy over this.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Jane deaux:
i give up

I guess a way just doesn't exist for my phone.

Things I've tried unsuccessfully:

DoomLorD.zip (every version) (Unable to copy SU files, reboot, not rooted)

OneClick (every version)

Gingerbreak ( '' )

z4

SDK with adb recovery (E:signature verification failed)

Odin (will not recognize my phone in download mode)

Cannot get heimdall(sp) do download.? probably couldnt use it anyway.

I thought to wait on a rooted ICS version, and would love to flash that to my phone, but have no ODIN! :( Go figure.

Anyway, I guess there is just not a way to do my phone. It resists all methods. Does anyone else with a i500 Showcase on the kies update to gingerbread 2.3.5 have this problem? Is this Cspire gingerbread unhackable?

samsung drivers

Do you have proper samsung drivers installed for your windows version..Also check to see if usb debugging is activated. Im no expert but hopefully this helps.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Onebryteday:
Another idea is to try a different usb port. I had one go bad.

I spent about a day uninstalling, rebooting, installing several different drivers. Also rebooting after each new install. No matter what I did ODIN wouldn't see my phone.

I got the idea to try another usb on the back of my desktop pc.

ODIN finally connected!

Hope this helps. Regards.

enable debugging on the phone, plug it in, if you need drivers use the ones inside the zip file. Run the program and hopefully the rest is pretty self-explanatory.

Hi,

I've recently purchased a Huawei Mediapad Tablet running honeycomb 3.2.

I would like to root this tablet but am unable to find any guides on the web.

Any pointers and guides would be much appreciated.

Thanks

i want to root huawei mediapad su302,please,thanks
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] studiozeroseven:
Same here...

Just picked on up tonight, not bad hardware but the os needs a kick in the a$$.

Lets get this going people, time is a wasting!

I have beginner modding skills if anyone wants to help me start this?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] squide:
Recently, I read some reference from some Chinese Forum..

There are Rooted ROMs... and tutorials about how to root by youself..

If you decide to create a rooted rom by yourself..

You need a Linux environment to do that...

Here's how I did mine...

1. First of All, download the latest ROM from Huawei official site..

http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3779&tb=0

2. Unzip it, you'll have a folder "dload"

3. Extract the file" system.img.ext4" from the Update.zip

4. Copy the "system.img.ext4" into your Linux Environment..

5. mount the image file like these...

#mkdir /mnt/tmp

#mount -o loop system.img.ext4 /mnt/tmp

6. put the "superuser" binary into the path /mnt/tmp/xbin

#cp su /mnt/tmp/xbin

7. Assgin the correct permission to the su binary

#chmod 6755 /mnt/tmp/xbin/su

8. Unmount the path and copy the system.img.ext4 into the original Update.zip

#umount /mnt/tmp

9. Put the "dload" folder into the root directory of a Micro-SD

10. Power Up your mediapad, when it vibrates, press and hold Volume Down until you see the Android icon, and it will try to flash the new ROM.

11. After everything is done, Look for Super User from Market, you'll see. :)

--

For su binary.. you can find it here http://androidsu.com/superuser/
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] squide:
Here's the product of all the above steps...

http://www.multiupload.com/0WPLQILCGH (114.73MB)

(I was using the official ROM dated 26 November..

and Put the su binary Together the superuser app into the system directory.

nothing else I have done to the ROM..)

You can also flash the system.img.ext4 into your mediapad directly via fastboot

to activate the fastboot mode of mediapad..

1. Connect your mediapad to your Computer with USB cable

2. Power up the mediapad with Volume Up button press and hold until your computer sense it and install the correct driver for it.

3. Direct flash your mediapad like this..

fastboot flash system system.img.ext4

then, reboot your mediapad..

you'll have your apps un-touched, while you have the latest system. enjoy~!

Fastboot, extracted from the Android SDK..
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] venomrat:
Many thanks squide, especially for the system image. I was too lazy to break out ubuntu...:D

I now have a rooted mediapad.

However the command below did not work for me.

I had to use fastboot flash system system.img.ext4
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] tyongchi:
I can now run my favourite titanium backup.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Golok:
Thanks. Manage to root my mediapad without losing the installed apps.

Btw use this link to get the fastboot

Which distro are you using?

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] freeko2:
just a question about this device as GSMarena shows GSM support does it mean the you can use it as a phone.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] surfdday:
It's been discussed quite a bit in the Hardwarezone forum. I cannot post a link yet, so just google for 'mediapad hardwarezone forum'.

You need to install the HuaweiMediaPadPhone.apk which you can request from those in the forum. You can also find the link for Mediafire on the forum.

Once you install the apk, you will get the standard Phone and Messaging apps which you can use to make phone calls over GSM and also SMS. Working well for me. :D
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] surfdday:
Thanks. I had a lab full of Linux systems, so I tried to put the 'su' in myself. Thanks to this fastboot procedure, I have a rooted system with no apps lost. :D
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] tedbone:
So did you Root it with a PC?

Could you give me some info on how you did this?

I have sdk r13 & fastboot (is 1.img the file I need to flash?)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Golok:
It's quite easy. just ensure.

1. Your Android SDK is installed correctly

2. Mediapad Fastboot USB driver is detected

3. get the correct system.img.ext4

4. Ensure fastboot works before issuing the flash command

by doing this you would not lose the current installed apps as this would only flash the

updated system plus root binary. After doing so please download superuser from android market

the flash process take less than 10 minutes.

btw i use this command

fastboot flash system system.img.ext4

yup i use a pc to this.

disclaimer:

there's risk of bricking your mediapad. do it at your own risk.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] tedbone:
Thanks,

I might try this.

Where can I find system.img.ext4?

DUH!!!! I unzipped the Hauwei firmware folder update.zip and found it - that's the right one right?

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

Also, I don't know if you saw or not, but I lost 4G connection since I originally had a T-Mobile SpringBoard and flashed the Hauwei firmware to it. Do you think rooting it will allow the 4G again? If so, would it be easy for a 'tard like me to do :D ?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Golok:
yup that's the right file. I'm using mediapad.

Probably this rom resources file does not have the 4g icon.

Do you still have the same broadband speed?

Can you please verify this using speedtest?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] tedbone:
Here's my recent speeds (3G). I wish I would've saved my 4G tests, but didn't realize I was going to loose all of that.

https://skydrive.live.com/redir.asp...372FEF79249B184B!172&authkey=!AHnxi6Q8Yj6srLQ

Also, what do you know about typing ()()2846579()()+ in the calculator. Can anything really be modified here? I've played around with the preferred frequencies and radio bands, but not sure what's really going on. And I think some of it goes back to a default anyway.

I was hoping that something like no 4G icon was the issue, but looking at the speeds (these are test from an area that I know get 4G speeds). I go to:

Settings >Mobile networks>Network operators>Search networks I only see T-Mo and AT&T 2G & 3G
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Golok:
Looks like the mediapad system rom n radio does not support 4G. Guess you would need to wait for springboard rom.

Follow the long steps to extract system image and put in the su binary in linux. Package it back n flashed it back to ur springboard via fastboot.

Is it possible to include the su binary to the springboard dump seen in one of the forums here ? Me no good with linux.

Just to check either sprinboard fastboot is locked or not.

Do you manage to just straight away flash the mediapad system rom onto the springboard system rom using the fastboot flash system command line ?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] tedbone:
I understood only about 1% of what you just said. I know very little Linux = ME really no good with Linux :D
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mangoman:
Im waiting for my mediapad, so some questions:

Is it possible to restore it to original after rooting it?

Theres two methods in this thread, fastboot (not used that before)

and the dload folder

Is it enough to just update with that folder and its rooted?

I have the Huawei U8800, dont know if the update procedure is the same. (dload folder on sdcard and power up with volume keys pressed)

The 3g should work with any carrier\region?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Golok:
dload method is the easiest

it will replace the whole rom. The prerooted rom got su binary. You wuld need to downlod superuser from market.

Fastboot method only replace the system image so your insalled app and settings would remain.

As far as i know there is no carrier lock on mediapad.it should work on any carrier.

Hiya folks.

Im using a factory Tmobile branded Springboard (S7-303u).

I've been following this thread for about 3 weeks now and after carefully reading the posts here, im uncertain of where springboard fits into this discussion, if folks have tested vanilla roms on this device, and if so, where I can get the best info on rooting and loading Roms for this device.

Any help would be helpful.

Not booting

Hello

I wanted to downgrade my Mediapad from ICE 4.0 to the earlier version. So I downloaded the firmware from Huawei website and tried to reinstall it through the microSIM card using the volume up + power button combination. The process seemingly went well with the Android man coming up. But now my mediapad cannot boot. When I press down the power on button (or other combinations with volume up or down), the "Huawei Mediapad" shows up but then slowly fades & disappears.

I have tried to load ICE again or each of the 2 software versions available on Huawei website, but cannot. Each time, "Huawei Mediapad" text logo shows up & hen slowly fades & disappears.

I think the firmware was not compatible with my mediapad built.

Any suggestions? Please help.
