[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
thanks man. It works! I just bought a 8 GB microSD card and still when I try to install gamelofts "back stab" it says I don't have enough space. So I read about link2SD and it needed root. I came upon your thread and downloaded the LG driver for the phone, downloaded unlockroot and rooted, so easy!

Now I just gotta figure out how to use Link2SD so I can use my external SD card as the main memory. Can someone help me with this?

Oh and also needed the root for reboot widget. Yes I'm running Gingerbread update 2.3.3.

Thanks again OP for the heads up on unlockroot :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
You can partition your sdcard on cwm or other PC apps( I use minitool partitioner)

Then just install your apps, after your done with that run link2sd. Choose your ext partition you created to mount (ext2,ext3,ext4) then you'll need to reboot to get a mount script created on sdcard so that when you use link2sd it knows where to place them when you install or batch install.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
Thanks man. Anyway I figured out how to use link2SD, how to partition the SD card on youtube but Back Stab still wouldn't install because of insufficient memory.

So what I did was download DroidSail Super App2SD which required root and then I moved all the Apps that I had on external SD to phone, formatted SD card, then erased, mounted and for some reason had 100% space to external card which according to elixir was 5.4 GB, which is weird because again my new SD card is 8 GB, but anyway now it allowed me to install Back Stab from Gameloft which is a dam awesome game which I got for 10 cents.

[Defy General] abesh:
So I had a problem updating my phone via FOTA. Complained on the official Android forums, long story short (Longer version here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1367054), someone from Motorola Support India called me up and asked me to visit the nearest service station for an update. I refused and asked him to give me the SBF. He did and asked me to RSDLite version > 5. When I asked him the details of the update he said it was ICS 4.1. I WAS VERY SURPRISED and I was sure that couldn't be the case. I flashed it anyways and found that it updated me from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6. However I received an email a few minutes later from him telling me that he had given me the wrong info. I called him up and asked him up the details. It is then he explained that there are a few BETA builds of ICS doing the rounds in internal development and that confused him. He confirmed that there was an ICS 4.1 build for the DEFY+ in testing and would get released maybe in the next 2-3 months but not sure to the exact date :(

So there's it ! Another ray of hope :)

Great news buddy!!! I too have a Defy+ and OTA updates were a prob! Not installing :( And when I called service center they told there are no OTA! :O Stupid outdated people! :( Nice to hear from you about the 2.3.6 update and ICS :D :D Btw i am desperately looking for an SBF! :( Could you please provide me with the SBF that you got? Coz I too am using an Indian retail Defy+ ..

anything can happen in 3 months..they are liars..they may even make a plan to launch a new phone called defy++ or defy-- ..and hence making them stop to work on ICS on defy+...and in 3 months we will be so familiar with ICS that it will sound very old :P ..thanks to CM9...

[Defy General] walter79:
"4. Release the upgrade

We are planning on upgrading as many of our phones as possible. The ability to offer the upgrade depends on a number of factors including the hardware/device capabilities, the underlying chipset software support, the ICS support and then the ability to support the Motorola value add software.

To recap our earlier post, we are planning to upgrade DROID RAZR™ by Motorola, Motorola RAZR™, Motorola XOOM™ (including Family Edition) and DROID BIONIC™ by Motorola to Ice Cream Sandwich. We will provide more precise guidance on timing after post-public push of Ice Cream Sandwich by Google, as well as any possible additions to this list of devices: As always, please refer to the Motorola Android Software Upgrade News page for the latest information."

[General Questions and Answers] grotetor:
I have a rooted HTC Desire running cyanogenmod which I need to unroot.

The phone has multiple hardware defects caused by a fall to the floor:

- LED flashligt no longer works

- LED indicater dead

- battery status is dead

- Camera is broken

All else seems to function as normal. All my apps work fine, except the ones using the camera or the LED flashlight.

Will it be possible to unroot like normal (using RUU from shipped roms) or could the defect hardware cause problems during installation?

Thanks!

no rooting is not affected by hardware.You can normally unroot

Hey folks,

Thanks

or better a xoom?
[Android General] Satdino:
I'm picking up 2 !!!!!

Even advertised on RTL News!

Chip Magazine great rating, best in price range, etc.
[Android General] Zhenech:
I do not think it is better than the Xoom, esp as MEDION stated on their Facebook page that the LifeTab won't have Gorillaglass and no IPS panel.

The pricetag is however most awesome, esp as you get 3g and everything in it plus extra headphones and a bag.

If they will have a unlockable bootloader, I'm all for it :)
[Android General] bledina:
what are the chances that the lifetab will be updated to ICS? that's really the only thing that keeps me from buying it at the moment.
[Android General] Zhenech:
MEDION said on their facebook page the update is coming, could not tell a time though.

Yeah i got one :)

Can you say something about the screen/glass?

Also, any chance to open the bootloader in adb? Medion wasn't too verbose on that point (they only said it's locked, but that's the case on the other tegra2 tablets too).

Oh, and on Facebook they say it hasnt 1GB ram? Could you verify that?
[Android General] JeanMo:
i didnt try to root it yet. But the tablet has Potential. Evrything runs smooth. The glass is a bit ugly and doesnt feels like an ipad or htc but its okay.

I am gonna try to root it now.. we will see what happens

Can you instann ConnectBot and just run "free" in a local shell? You should not need root for it.

- did you enable usb debugging on the device?

- did you start adb as root/sudo? you will have to kill all running adb instances to retry :)

Seems to be that "Medion" integrated flashcounter like "Samsung" does !!!
[Android General] JeanMo:
yeah .. i talked to medion today to get the driver for windows. since my linux wasnt able at all to talk to my tablet i tryed it with windows.

i tryed a lot of driver but no driver worked for me :-/

I mean at least they have to release it. how would you code apps for android without debugging?

nvm i also compiled the source which comes up with the tablet. so we can "easily" build own roms :)
[Android General] Zhenech:
What is actually on that DVD? As it comes with Honeycomb, and Honeycomb is pretty much closed source from Google, the DVD should contain nothing to create a "full" ROM, but just kernel etc?
[Android General] JeanMo:
yeah just kernel and driver and so on. but i think thats the hardest part isnt it?

if not then i didn't said anything :)

[Android General] JeanMo:
while holding vol+ and power it will bring you into an ota mode.

I have no clue what happens at this point. But it seems to wait for anything.

Maybe it search for an update from sd or something like this

I also couldnt get my tab to execute own code. Man i need to learn alot new stuff -.-

Is someone here who already did something like rooting on his own? Or at least know someone who did it?

Maybe he has some ideas for me..

After I put it on I had to push down +plus /- minus volume buttons then push + and – until get

-count 4

After the message: “Starting Fastboot USB download protocol” I was able to fastboot reboot my lifetab.

fastboot reboot

[Android General] Jabe:
Can somebody help with my problem? I conected my lifetab to my win 7 netbook in order to transfer some files to the tab. In the middle of the process the screen went off and that was it. My lifetab died. Nothing I do seems to make a difference. Battery was half full at least, there was no error message and no matter what button I press or hold does nothing happens. Is this the end of my lifetab? Is there anything I can do?

EDIT: I have reread the user manual and found the reset hole at the bottom. That worked for me. Hopefully none of you will encounter this problem, but if it does maybe that will help.
