Which ROM are you trying to boot? I have four running but have had some issues with some of the newer ones.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggsack:
I think that you need to talk directly to the Devs.

And as stated, some Roms do not let boot manager open.

I had the same problem before,make sure the rom your using has the same kernel as the phone rom, or download a kernel for sense
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggsack:
Once you are in the ICS, then let it settle, then reboot it. Check to make sure you have an internet connection of anykind so it can check permissions, then try to reload it. Also, NEVER delete the Bootmanager directory while in a Slot ROM. Can you say problem? It is, that is the only way you can get back to the stock Boot.img.

I also had the same problem, after I had it installed and running flawlessly.

A solution is to do a clean wipe of your phone, and reflash the ROM you want as your primary. SD cards can corrupt data just like anything else, so sometimes a file gets screwed. So I wiped, reflashed primary, then restored the apps, then set up boot manager, and installed 4 ROMs without any problems.
[Galaxy Tab General] msgfromside3:
Hi, I've searched through this, but I have not been able to find exact information. If you do, please feel free to point it to me - i will delete this thread.

I have been owning TMO Galaxy Tab (original) for a year now and I am getting Galaxy S2 from ATT because Amazon offered me it for a penny. :) I am wondering if anyone has tried to tether with ATT phone. I already read many post that ATT detects tethering traffic and forces customers to pay for tethering plan but the most I have seen so far have been with PC or with iPhone. My case is a bit different, I think, since it will be Galaxy Tab and Galaxy S2, but I want to check if anyone has been doing this. Being Tab user for a year, I am pretty sure I want to use Tab once in a while, especially for the navigation. I am thinking of paying ETF for Tab's 200MB plan, if that makes sense economically, that is.

Thanks!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
When I see the wimax radio sleeping... (zzz on top of the 4g icon) what's going on? Do I not have data, am I on evdo, 1x, etc? Also when the phone is in standby (screen off and phone off the charger) what's going on? Is it the same if the phone was on the charger? I'm using Google voice, which requires a data connection for SMS... so I was just curious. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
its the same as 3g. When its not being used, it goes dormant, until something wakes it up, even if the screen is off. the "zzz" thing is just samsungs way of being fancy.

HOWEVER...there are a few posts about some apps not waking the 4g connection properly, i think specifically google voice. Do a few searches and youll find em

How do you send sms from google voice?????

INTERNET MONEY!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
Can't. Stock messaging still works, despite GV. I just use that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
Sorry! Misread that. Thought it said mms. To do that you have to integrate Google Voice into your Sprint (only Sprint) line. Either clear data on google voice and set it up that way... or goto google.com/voice nad choose a new number. Click use my mobile number and it will ask for your number. Just follow the instructions and click Sprint integration DO NOT PORT YOUR NUMBER or you will be charged.

I tried to flash DlevROM INFUSE EDITION from ClockWorkMod and I get stuck in a boot loop.

I've downloaded a return to stock rom, transferred the zip to external sd but I can't seem to locate it on the "install zip from sdcard" screen.

What am I doing wrong? My phone is totally out of commission until I flash a new rom.

I've literally clicked on every folder in "install zip from sdcard" trying to figure out where the rom is.

When I click on "external_sd" it doesn't find any files. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Please help!!! My phone is totally out of commission! Thanks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] noahk11:
You have to wipe all of your data after flashing a new ROM. This is the most common cause of boot loops.

Also make sure you are useing the correct clock work mod version (infuse version). Useing a version made for another phone causes partition and file location mix ups.There is a 100% working one for the infuse somewhere on this fourm. I just can't find the link because I'm on mobile.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tfpHumorBlog:
Thanks for the quick reply - however, since I'm in a boot loop, is it even possible to change the clockwork mod version?

Also, now when I go to "choose zip from sdcard" it says "no app2sd partition found." I can't click on it at all now.

Voila u have the recovery file!!!!

Now follow instructions I have u after gtgs.

u will have to have a root explorer to complete "My instructions."
[TouchPad General] tackleberry:
why in the world did you buy a tablet to begin with? im sure most xda members have at least 2 computers in the home.

these tablets are kinda a useless toy more than anything LOL.

personally i have 1 main laptop, 2 extra laptops (one running linux that i have no clue about and another with no power cord and no idea if it even works (got them for free from an abandonded house) and 2 desktops and one of them is in the garage thats used mostly for resarch on vehicle repairs...this tablet is kinda just a extra toy but since these hp touchpads were 100 bucks on black friday locally i snagged 2 of them (one as a gift for the 12 year old) and one for me as it may be easier to use when working on my car instead of using a laptop which is bigger....which was really the only reason why i think i would use it...pictures and wiring diagrams and web searches related to it and at a 100 bucks for a good powerful unit it makes sense if it gets a little greasy or dirty lol.

what was your reason for getting a tablet? just another geek toy or for a real purpose. for my wife these tablets are almost useless in terms of productivity as these programs are for entertainment and games more than business at least for real estate anyways.

im just curious what the hype is over these things
[TouchPad General] joenathane:
Because laptops suck for mobile computing, they take forever to startup and the battery is something you always have to be conscious of. With a tablet I can have access to my calendar, the web, games, music, video, maps and pictures wherever I go.

My phone is too under powered and screen to too small for it to be much of use other than taking and placing calls.

My tablet is much more than a toy, I use it to configure routers and lookup solutions to computing issues, I have remote surveillance camera apps, remote desktop apps, FTP, email, etc...

The Touchpad is turning out to be one of the best and most practical purchases I've ever made.
[TouchPad General] tackleberry:
got my attention on those! care to share details what you have?
[TouchPad General] quarlow:
I got a touchpad to replace my aging netbook. Its for use in bed while watching TV. I have a few computers too, but most of the time all I want is web browsing.

We constantly use that netbook and the battery has broken twice now, this time out of warranty. So all we want is a compact long lasting web browsing experience. I want something bigger than my phone. Enter the tablet.

Heres the long story: I had actually forgotten the Touchpad and didn't know the full specs. On Thanksgiving day I had a kindle Fire in my Amazon cart, waiting to see if by some miracle on black Friday they would discount the new device. I mentioned this to a friend, and he suggested the Touchpad. After some research I knew that's what I really wanted. I liked webOS, but not a pre, I wanted 10" screen, but not for $500, I wanted quality product, not the crap you see all over for $100. Again I was ready to pull the trigger on a touchpad at $229 on eBay. The same friend told me about a black Friday ad for a furniture store not known for electronics, touchpad for $99. So I stood in the freezing cold for hours, just to be one of the first to not get one. I managed to get one on the way home for $195. I happily paid that price. Its still cheaper than a new netbook. (I know a battery is cheaper, but I don't want to keep getting batteries)

Now its on my shelf waiting for Christmas, taunting me each day. I am thoroughly excited to give webOS another try. And the icing on the cake is CM7 or ICS or Windows 8.

Just like people use computers for different things, myself I would not bring a computer or tablet into the garage for car repairs, I can't afford to risk breaking something that costs $200. For that I have a $10 haynes manual. With my phone I could easily give up one big feature: the ability to make phone calls. I use <100 minutes a month, but I use 700+ texts, and 7GB of data. Everyone has their own usage habits. For me the touchpad looks perfect.

[TouchPad General] L33t Masta:
I have an iPhone 4S, HP TouchPad, Alienware M15x laptop and a custom made desktop with watercooling and I asked myself this very same question. Then I realized that I have one for reading books and browsing the internet easily without having to really worry about battery power. My laptop is a big and bulky gaming laptop and it's just not the right thing to take everywhere I go. It has it's place but for somewhere I just want to read a book or do some light browsing/Facebook/Twitter, my tablet almost always gets priority. This might change a little when I buy a Macbook Air next year (since it's small, thin and very light) but probably not too much unless I want to do something like play an online game or do some programming.
[TouchPad General] mputtr:
It's kinda wierd when you say that getting 1 tablet is a useless toy when you have 3 laptops (1 main, 1 linux [that you don't know how to use], and 1 dead/powercord-less) and 2 desktops.

The one tablet will replace your 2 extra laptop + one of your other desktops (if you feel the need to have 1 dedicated laptop and desktop.

But in essence, it's simply because startup time is instantaneous. It does all the basic functions that you would do when you are outside. It lasts longer (my laptop lasts 2-4 hours depending on how much i screw with it.) and ofcourse, it's much much much smaller therefore more portable and less to set up.

I personally thought I had no use for a tablet as well, but when I finally got one, it actually allowed me to go in and out of places faster and without hassle as compared to opening up my laptop, waiting for it to start up, and after i'm done using, wait for it to shut down.

I'm in the same boat with the behemoth gaming laptop (asus g73)....it's powerful for running games and my engineering programmes but not as portable and quick to access as a tablet, especially when with the HP touchpad i can remote access the laptop ...for £115 i won't argue on it's merits
[TouchPad General] Jotokun:
Like others, I bought mine to (somewhat) replace my laptop. Its far ligher, smaller, gets slightly better battery life in Android and far better battery life in webOS. Its great for web surfing and email. I'm really hoping a decent office suite shows up soon, but for now Quickoffice is ok. Remote desktop sounds like it would be great but I can never get them configured right so they've always been unusable sluggish for me.

Paired with a bluetooth keyboard and the right software, a tablet can be an amazing productivity device.
[TouchPad General] db56319:
I also got the Touchpad to replace my laptop for books and internet. My experience is like others, the battery life and small size (relatively) are what got me. It also works well for the kids when we go on trips. It is much easier to get out the TP than the laptop in the car. I am completely satisfied with my purchases.:)
[TouchPad General] Krunk_Kracker:
On top of just liking tablets, I keep vpn and RDP clients on it so I always have access to my servers at work, as well as the security cameras there.

Also, it's funny you say all tabs are useless, and then name all these useless PC's around your house, lol.
[TouchPad General] Daughain:
I got my tab to replace my dying laptop, temporarily. I picked up a TouchPad partly because of price, and partly to try webOS. My plan was, and still is, to get an ultrabook next year and the TP is doing a great job bridging the gap I needed.

Depending on how well linux will run natively on one, I may not need to get a laptop at all.

Media, annoying bringing my laptop to work sometimes.
[TouchPad General] ponyboy82:
I just wanted to be cool :)

Seriously though, I always wanted a more portable laptop (ie. a touchscreen tablet). It's just very intuitive. Yes, it's kind of redundant if you have both a laptop and a smartphone already, but even a few inches of screen real estate can make a big difference. The TP or any tablet is great as an e-reader and general purpose web browser or media viewer. You can also do light gaming too. They work well to read or surf the internet laying in bed or while sitting on the couch. Basically, to me they kind of replace netbooks. I couldn't see using one as your only computer, but as a 2nd or 3rd machine, they're convenient.
[TouchPad General] quarlow:
This is exactly how I feel. The tablet to me fills that hole between computer and phone. I have a 4.3" phone, plenty big, but the 10" seems perfect for lap use. I don't need USB ports for peripherals, for that I have my laptop (that I use a desktop).

The touchstone dock is very tempting for me. To be able to just set it down when done, and not fumble for cords seems like the perfect use case.

[TouchPad General] phobos512:
I found that I was using my laptop, which at the time was my only computer, pretty much only for e-mail and web browsing and thought that a tablet would be useful, but paying $600 for a Xoom (which I really wanted) wasn't very appealing. So when I found out about the firesale on day 1 I went to Wal-mart (no luck) and then my local Staples (32GB score!). I used it for about two weeks and found I never used my laptop in that time period. So I sold my laptop for $750.

In that same time period I bought a new Alienware Aurora R3 desktop which fulfills my "real computer" needs, which other than gaming are few and far between since I can't take my work home and I'm done with school permanently (MS is enough for me).
[TouchPad General] ponyboy82:
Kinda the same story here.... within a few months I went from a 12" iBook and dumphone, to a big smartphone, tablet and 17" gaming laptop :)

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

The touchstone is pretty cool. It's nice to not have to futz with a power cord, and at least on my TP, the microUSB port is a little finicky so I have to angle cords to get them in. That said, the 3.0.4 update changed something with the Touchstone sensitivity, so I can no longer charge with the HP case on it and the flap folded back, like I used to. Otherwise it seems ok. At this point I could definitely live without the TS, but it is nice for grab'n'go usage.
[TouchPad General] Antebios:
First off, we can all agree that laptops are too clunky and short batter life for what 90% of us all do: e-mail, web browse (facebook, google+, ebay, etc) , watch videos, watch netflix, light gaming (some with Flash). I used to use my HTC EVO 4G to do all that stuff, but with such small screen it wasn't the best. If I were stuck on an Island, I wouldn't hesitate to bring my phone as my primary device. But, the future happened and now we have tablets. They don't do what laptops/netbooks do, but they do what 90% of us do with much longer batter life and being less clunky. I wouldn't have thought about it, but I use my tablet about 80-90% of the time while I'm at home. I just turn my laptop on to do programming or major gaming. Otherwise, there would be no easier way to re-watch all of DS9 on Netflix if it were not for my tablet. It is very easy to read while on the couch, laying outside in the yard, before going to bed, right after waking up in the morning, or in the restroom.

I got my HP TouchPad for $99, and even though the Asus Tranformer Prime is around the corner and I want it, I can't justify spending a couple of hundred of dollars for what I already have.

Summary: Get a tablet, you won't regret it.
[TouchPad General] dajogejr:
I tried to figure out what the big deal is myself....then I got one.

For 99, I think I have the best of everything for the price.

Sure this device could have expansion slots, Back Facing camera, etc.

But I don't go plunk down Chevy money and expect a Cadillac...:)

A lot of us use Email, browse the web and look at forums, Facebook, pictures.

This device does this perfectly...

Battery lasts forever compared to most laptops, and about 1/4 the weight/thickness on average.

WebOS' built in VPN client actually works out of the box connecting to work with my older Cisco VPN hardware (Concentrator...not ASA series)

Now that WebOS has a good Remote Desktop Client (I use Splashtop, but I'm not putting the streamer on my servers, etc.) it is very useful for work.

As long as I have a WiFi connection (which...I have a T-bolt...tethering) it is a great resource for work.

Would I type out a novel on it? No....a LONG drawn out email? no...

If you got a TP at or near firesale prices, IMO...you got the holy grail of 2011 in geekdom.
[TouchPad General] ItsDon:
Biggest reason for me was/is the ability to resize text on web pages and forums. Possible but not easy on a laptop but just a double tap on the TP. As others have stated this little device has made a home in my house and kicked the netbook to the curb.

Splashtop HD BTW works amazing on this thing, brings the full Windows 7 package to a tablet.
[TouchPad General] Puenos:
as I'm a student I primary use my Touchpad for studying..

reading while on the train/bus or just sitting anywhere waiting.. it's just more comfortable.. better battery life, so you don't need to carry your power supply always with you (same micro usb port as nearly any other gadget nowadays.. so even if you're out of juice, its possible to charge it... slow though but yeah..)

Also, I'm studying mechanical engineering.. it's great to sketch/calc besides reading without the need of thousands of sheets and whatsover.. drawing (besides constructing) just feels great without the need of all the expensive utilities/tools you usually have to pay for and have to carry around..
