How about going to the thread for the new recovery (thecubed is the dev that made it). There is another method posted there, just a little more confusing. It involves a line or two of code in the command prompt.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ryane67:
why not send it back to stock first using the instructions in the superguide, and start from scratch?

Is that a possibility?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
It is a possibility, but a last resort. Kind of a pain in the butt.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GMSTEAK03:
Can you put the link for that recovery....

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ryane67:
yeah I guess that can be a bit of a pain... Sometimes when I have an error and can't seem to figure it out I like to re-start at least a portion of what Im working on with a clean slate and make sure I did everything correctly, cleanly, etc.. but that's the programmer in me coming back out after years of unintentional suppression ;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GMSTEAK03:
ill try your link out but probally gonna need some help in the command prompt not really good with that stuff...i have been trying and i cant get it to work..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Just put the file on your desktop. Go to a file explorer and go to your desktop folder. Hold shift and right click, select open a command window here. Then just type in the line of code it says.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GMSTEAK03:
Pops up with windows disc image burner...doing something wrong
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
That's really odd... You might just have to try reverting to stock using the superguide and then rooting again.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GMSTEAK03:
ok when i open the command promp on the desktop then i typed in fastboot flash recovery and it comes up with some commands is that what is supposed to do?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GMSTEAK03:
ok i think i figured it out...its telling me its waiting for device right now how is my phone supposed to be right now. normally booted up or in hboot

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] johnnycsx:
Is there a cable for the prime for USB host? I want a USB port but so far I can only find cables for the Galaxy tab or for micro USB ports. I don't want the keyboard dock, I have my laptop for computing. I just want a cable for it. So far I can only find the Asus dongle for the TF101(compatible right? Same proprietary port?), but that's only for an SD card, not a USB-female port.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] addisdar:
Do you mean this? If you need to hook up a usb device to the prime, you need a dongle like the one below.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theizzardking:
good question, i was looking at picking one of these up so i could use my ps3 controller with my prime's included charging cable.....

http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Female-5-Pin-Male-Adapter/dp/B002S7PS8M

USB female to mini-usb male.

would this work and do i really need to shell out for that box, i just don;t understand what exactly it does, i think for what i'm trying to do it should be fine, i could see the issues when trying to use a usb hdd as i could see more drivers needed to even access the data from the drive....i would think a ps3 controller would just show up....any suggestions or buying some extra box to carry around 100% necessary....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jfortier777:
Bought this last week thinking the same thing.

Does not recognize devices. Something is weird about the dock cable.

I was trying to pair my PS3 controller, I ended up doing it with the keyboard port instead.

On a somewhat related note, I dont recommend you buy the item at that link. I ended up chucking mine out because it was too loose to hold the cables in... and its mustard yellow...eww
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] quantumalpha:
I've yet to confirm this myself, but I believe the dock connector uses different pins for "USB Host" (ex: plugging in a controller to the tablet) and "USB Device" (ex: plugging the tablet into a PC) modes. Using a USB Female-Female adapter, as others above have proven, will not work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] johnnycsx:
Wait...I spoke to soon, the link above is useless. It's backordered and I can't find it anywhere else. Anyone have an idea?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] foboi1122:
I got mine from microcenter, in tustin, ca. There might still be one there. And yea I first tried a female to female adapter on the usb charging cable it came with and no dice. However this adapter does work. Plugged my 360 controller in and played some shadowgun.
[General Questions and Answers] kerriannec31:
Hi guys just bought my first android tablet from ebay its a 10.2" TABLET PC,SUPERPAD 3 ,FLYTOUCH 3,ANDROID 2.3, 8GB. I have been having a few problems getting the sd card to load. I have tried 4 different sd cards and none of them work. When i insert the sd card it pops up reading sd card then nothing i go into the settings then to sdcard & device storage and all that shows up is internal device storage no sd card. I have tried to use apps2sd but that doesnt work either. I contacted the seller and he told this was normal and i would have to use a file manager to locate the sd card on the tab.

I am at a loss here as i have rooted my hero and my galaxy s2 and never had a problem using my sd cards or app2sd or anything like that. I am just wondering if this means the tablet could be a clone or a fake.

I would be grateful if someone could please give me some help or information on this

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] NType3:
Well, the first thing I would do is attempt to follow the seller's suggestion. Can you reach the SD card via a file manager? If so, perhaps it's worth reloading your OS (though I'm not sure how to do it on your tablet).

To address whether or not it is a knockoff, the general rule is:

If the price is too good to be true, it probably is.
[General Questions and Answers] kerriannec31:
Here is the firmware for the tablet

@MOD: POSTED HERE BECAUSE IT WAS ACCESSORIES RELATED. PLEASE MOVE TO Q&A SECTION IF IT IS NECESSARY

So, I was thinking that:

guys, if i buy a chunk of gorilla glass, can i cut it so it fits the phone? i have the steady hand and good precision, im asking if it work or not. and how much would a chunk of gorilla glass cost? I already got the glass cutting tool :p my present screen was scratched when i slid it on a normal wood table!! the scratch isnt bad, but really annoying if it reflects the light badly when in sunlight and... you get what im saying
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] metalfeild:
no, you cant cut it with normal glass cutting tool...it is a hardened glass...if you try to do so it may break
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] PersianSphinx:
can you point out a tool that can cut it? for the general knowlege or maybe practical :p
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] ak700:
I don't think you get a gorrila glass just like in the market. And if you find a seller you would have to buy like huge sheet of glass or sth.

And if you find it, how are you gonna install it??

BTW wouldn't it look odd to have a glass elevation on your phone. If you want to change the touch screen just directly go to Samsung service center. I got my galaxy ace's screen fixed for Rs.2500
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] metalfeild:
sorry mate i have no idea...

anything is possible 'IF' u are in china :p
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] PersianSphinx:
haha

at the other dude: i dont want the crappy plastic screen from samsung :(
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] unreal3000:
if u realy want to.....maybe u can cut it just like the glass display and replace the glass part all together....

but u will need alot of skill, and u will have to get gorrilla glass from somewhere ...

its expensive and u will have to probably have to buy a huge chunk.

not advisable and not even sure if its possible :P
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] RafayelG:
you can buy maybe galaxy note screen then sand it to fit or something? I"m no expert about glass.
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] PersianSphinx:
good idea. why galaxy note when there is wildfire glass which is smaller and easier? :p
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] RafayelG:
because its larger so less chance of messing it up,
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] PersianSphinx:
fair enough! tnx for this... when i take of the crap sammy plastic, do i put the gorilla with glue? super glu? :confused:
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] RafayelG:
i have no clue never did it and probably never will

here look in the service manuel dowload is on bottom
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] tomsi191:
I don't think you can do what you are suggesting here. The screen on the phone is not plain glass or plastic, its a digitizer turning touch signals to system functions (hence the "touch screen"). You can't just take a gorilla glass panel and replace the digitizer.

i suggest you use a screen protector (vikuiti perhaps?), it's much cheaper and easier.
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] PersianSphinx:
i would thank you but i ran out of thanks per day :( maybe later.

thanks for this, i would probably have effed up my phone!!

i remember someones HTC touchpro wouldnt work without the special plastic when he pealed it off :D

my problem isnt having scratches mainly, its just the glass is so crap! sometimes i can see the lcd flick under my thumb when i use the phone (and im not pressing too hard either) i dont know why. and anyway the gorilla feels better when you touch it. lol i mean gorilla glass.
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] lebidou:
I agree with tomsi191, I think you'd loose the "touch" functionality.

Just don't press so hard on it ! ;)
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] PersianSphinx:
i slid it across the table and it took visible scratches that look like they have been caused by a T-Rex.
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] tomsi191:
:D:D:D

mine got scratches from the zipper on the pockets of my jacket ?! i was too lazy to buy a screen protector :(

anyway you can buy a digitizer for about 20$ in ebay and there is even a video tutorial in youtube on how to change it

about the other problems you mentioned, it's not the digitizer, the lcd screen on this phone is crappy (probably the only thing crappy in G3)
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] PersianSphinx:
yea but if you had gorillaglass, the goddamn glass would protect the unblessed lcd... i dont have access to america ebay coz i live in the uk. so its pounds for me to spend, and i dont intend to do so, mainly because i hate giving samsung money for cheap crappy products :p

good news for me: my friend said he will give me his galaxy s2 when he gets the nexus. YAY! :D

[Nokia Lumia 800] AndreCustodio56:
Hi, I just wanted some help regarding unlocking my Lumia. I am a bit confused at the moment, is an interop unlock possible or not? It is currently chevron unlocked with chevron labs which I paid $9 for but a lot of the stuff I want to do can't be done without an interop unlock.

The phone was bought on contract, t-mobile UK but it was bought from a special cashback website and the phone is unlocked and has no branding that I can notice, no splash screen etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Nokia Lumia 800] Briefcase:
Your phone is chevron unlocked, not interop unlocked. At the moment the Chevron Labs* and AppHub unlocks are the only unlocks possible for the Lumia. (Apart from sim unlock which is possible but for now will cost you a lot of money.)

To see why it cannot be interop unlocked, digg trough the following threads:

- [GUIDE] INTEROP-UNLOCK for MANGO - No 0x81030120 (Samsung/LG/HTC 1st gen)

- The WindowBreak Project

You may also want to search for my last messages as i have explained a couple of times now why it's not possible.

* Chevron Labs unlock are sold out for the moment, but since you already got a token that's not a problem here.
[Nokia Lumia 800] wbaez0320:
Unfortunately interop-unlock is not yet possible for the Lumia 800 or any other 2nd Gen device if I am not mistaken. The Chevron unlock only allows 10 max of sideloaded apps and can't edit the registry.
[Nokia Lumia 800] AndreCustodio56:
Ok, well guess I'll have to stick to the chevron unlock for now. Is there any indication of when an interop unlock will be available or at least a registry editor?
[Nokia Lumia 800] amritpal2489:
Its too hard to wait ;)

Isnt it ?? ;) ;)

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
No it will not. It has a charge script that stops when it reaches 100% then monitors the battery after that and will trickle charge when it drops a couple of percent.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Actually this is a process used to calibrate battery when you first buy one or is the first time you buy a phone. You drain it and charge it overnight. I do this too but not recently because airplane mode allows for no percentage drop..... I don't believe it is harmful but may prove to be over an extended period as are many things. Id say just turn the phone on airplane mode and it shouldn't drop but 1-2 if any percentage.

NO. NO. NO. Uberpinguin, the one who posts cm7, hates battery calibration, and I'll preach his message for him. Cycling the battery is stupid, it wears life, and wiping battery stats is stupid. Each battery has a specific uuid (I think that's what it is) that tells batterystats.bin what battery it is, and then it THEN locates the info it needs. Not "oh hey, my phone is calibrated for someone elses battery".

When i flashed over to CM7 my phone was getting on average 10-14Hrs depending on usage if i was heavily using it it would be from 6-8Hrs.

After i calibrated it i went from 6-8 on heavy to 12-15 on Heavy and medium usage went from 10-14 to 18-20Hrs. And minimal use ending me up with 24+Hrs

So please explain? because i hate calibrating it but it works.

Battery drain always seems terrible for a short time after flashing a new rom. It does clear up.

Letting your battery drain completely is NOT good for your phone, though I'm unaware of what how it may affect the battery itself. But as I understand it, it is not necessary in any way for the battery itself- so it's useless and doing so will only help you corrupt the data on your phone.

I've been charging mine nightly since Nov 2010 and it's fine.

Those of you with serious battery drain - do yourself a favor and try staying on the same rom for more than 36 hours.
