[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
They were shut down but they(the gov) got it up and running shortly after
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Yup, the whole reason they attacked megaupload was because of all the sites like this one protesting against SOPA. Hello even google protested against it. It just goes to show how much of a bully our government can be when people speak their minds. It's like them saying "you don't have rights to free speech or to decide what we the fed government do" or "we make the laws not you the people".

Yup looks like even sites that are US based can/will get shut down by the US. Over the years i've come to hate us(america) and all the bull**** we "stand for" I see why everyone hates us and i'm really thinking about moving to Canada or some place else in the upcoming years
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Sending an attack directly to fbi.gov is really dumb and childish. It's also a great way to get caught. I'm pretty sure they'll get traced back pretty quickly.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Yeah but the problem is most of them are located in other countries hiding behind proxies. And a lot of isp's don't want to co-operate, and tech they don't have to if they are in certain countries. That's why they call themselves anonymous because it's really hard to find them. Trust me they've gotten smarter since the last time people got arrested. I've done my research on it.

I'm a general phone user. I barely know what most of you are talking about when it comes to rooting and other acronyms you guys regularly use here.

Anyhow, I noticed that my screen keyboard got an update yesterday. I don't recall changing any settings nor performing any updates.

I noticed my screen keyboard is different and it also vibrates when I type with it.

Did any of you get this same update? If it's not an update, perhaps I can get some info on how I accidentally did this.

Thanks in advance!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boombocs:
One week ago i bought my first smartphone, Samsung I9001, i had no ideea what to do with it, so when i connected it to my laptop via Kies it asked me if i want to upgrade my firmware. I did it and at 3% stoped working. So i searched the web for solutions, i found that Odin program, and i installed android 2.3.6. I was really happy that i solved the problem, but then i found out that my warranty could be lost because i rooted my phone, and it apears also in Menu-About Phone-Kernel Version. So now i dont know how to unroot it, and install an official firmware, and what version of the firmware do i need, to have my warranty back. Please i need some help!

Put UnRoot-i9001-Signed.zip into internal sdcard

Reboot into Recovery mode

Use Volume buttons to choose apply update from sdcard in Recovery Menu.

Press Home button to submit.

Use Volume buttons to choose UnRoot-i9001-Signed.zip on sdcard

Press Home button to start update.

1 second and Root is gone.

Choose reboot system now and press Home button to reboot your phone.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SikkNazty:
Hello, i'm new to this forum, kind of a noob still with rooting and everything but anyways, just the other day I had a new update for go launcher ex. Everything ran fine until after the update. It won't let me change the effects, go into settings, or change themes. It also still displays icons for APPS that i have fully uninstalled before and I can't get rid of them unless I use Astro to delete the raw files of the app. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Go Launcher several times, but that doesn't work.

I'm running this on a brand new Galaxy Nexus so it might be compatibility issues with the new ICS OS... Anyone else have this issue?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salemsnake:
Yep might be a compatibility issue, have you tryed adw ex launcher? i saw it in a post and installed it and have been in love with it ever since
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SikkNazty:
I've tried it out, but I like go launcher because it has an ICS theme for free while keeping all the cool effects and stuff. the problem with adw for me is that i can only set one app in my appdock on my homescreen with a custom icon.. and that really bothers me with the looks. it also doesn't change any of the app icons in the app drawer. prob compatibility issues too. i hope they update both of them soon! :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zebdesigns:
Hi!

I have an really annoying audio issue, I hope there's a solution.

Background:

Being an insomniac I use my phone w. in-ear-plugs (Bose IE2) to listen to audiobooks and watching videos until I fall asleep.

I bought the Note for the big screen and the awesome hardware audio/video support, and just for trying something new, (I've been using iPhones since it's first release but felt like upgrading from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 4s wasn't worth it) so the Note is my first Android phone.

The Problem:

When playing audiobooks, videos and music at low volumes it's like the phone ”auto-mutes” when the source audio have low volume or total silence. Then there's a click or a static and a very short delay when the audio returns. It's really annoying when listening to i.e. audiobook where it's much silence, like between sentences and sometimes words.

It doesn't appear when listening to more moderate volumes, just in the bottom 20% of the volume slider.

I've tried a bunch of different players... it's all the same. Doesn’t matter if its a local file or LAN.

Gingerbread 2.3.6 XBKK4, not rooted or anything.

Anyone know of a cure for my phone, or a good sleep-therapist....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JknRich:
I want to install a theme with villianrom how do i do it. I really need some help. I really happy with rooting as i do not know what is going on.. Just some soild advice about it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
1) You should ask in the themes thread

2) if you are going to open a new thread, at least tell us what theme you are trying to install, and link to it

3) To flash mods or themes, you need to find out your roms base version, it will be in settings > about phone and be something like KI3 (build number not baseband version)

4) as Villanrom 3 is based on KI3 you need to find a version of your theme that will work on KI3.

[Vibrant General] TorpedoGirl:

[Vibrant General] trailblazerz11:
Most users use multiupload which uses other host sites that seem to be fine..for now

Personally, megaupload was inevitably going down. There was so much pirated content on it, most getting removed anyways, might as well take down site.

Not siding with MPAA but this argument over pirated material is a mess.

I thought the guy from Steam said it best, people wont use pirated materials if your service is better.
[Vibrant General] Pherga:
The MPAA said that VHS would mean the end of the cinema industry because people would be able to record their own movies and view them endlessly without paying.

The RIAA argued with the same basis about casettes and recordable media such as CDs.

Yet, movies cost hundreds of millions of dollars in the making which are recovered in matter of weeks. Musicians must pay a share of the money they make with gigs to the RIAA so they can "defend" their interests.

If there's anyone who's not losing a single buck are these guys in the MPAA and the RIAA, far from defending anyone else's rights other than their own.
[Vibrant General] dardani89:
the MPAA and RIAA should both get broomsticks shoved up their asses, but in the end this was arrest with due process. it just shows how unnecessary SOPA and PIPA are, since copyrights can still be protected under the current law. I mean lets be honest, as much as it sucks we all knew megaupload was hosting illegal file sharing and at the end of the day that is breaking a law no matter how you spin it.
[Vibrant General] Woody:
I agree with you. Same thing happened when they shut Limewire down. Who couldn't see that coming. Really surprised any torrent sites are still up.

So lets say they shut down Rapidshare, 4share,...how do we get ROMs? Email? Even XDA has a size limit on uploads.

It is going to go from Internet to Intranet or GovNet.
[Vibrant General] Raistline:
I want to know how the FBI, A US based law organization is able to have non US Nationals Arrested and take down a site that is not extra-national. How can this be legal or even accepted by other countries.

MegaUpload is not based in the US nor were the arrestees. How does thoe FBI have jurisdiction for this. Just because a website can be accessed in the US does not mean that the FBI has the right to close the site down.

Quite frankly I don't care if New Zealand has an agreement with the US. The laws were not broken on US Soil, the servers were not hosted in the US.

This is like arresting someone form the US because they broke a law that is only a law in Algeria. I seen no difference here.
[Vibrant General] dardani89:
countries do have extradition agreements with each other and do cooperate in certain areas of law enforcement, ie terrorism and drug enforcement. So this is not something really extraordinary.

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

it's possible to create a site that simply hosts the roms that we would download. the problem comes back again to the regulation of the internet since people can simply abuse any file sharing sites. you may think that regulation is not required but it really is. remember the deregulation philosophy of the financial sector and the resultant excessive leveraging that lead to the biggest financial meltdown since the great depression. the problem as with any regulation is to get it right so that it doesn't hinder innovation but simultaneously protects multiple rights of multiple parties. our freedom of speech will never outweigh others right to property. the internet is essentially a public forum so a social contract has to be drawn between all people in terms of the conduit in this forum. just as we have a right to free speech, we don't have a right to threaten someones life. i think this is just some more growing pains for what is still new technology and media.
[Vibrant General] Raistline:
There is just something that is very unsettling about the fact that the FBI (A US law organization) is able to stop businesses in other countries just because it violates US Laws and has the ability to have extra-national citizens arrested on their behest. I personally only see this as being prudent if there was a law broken while the person was on US Soil and thus are under US laws at the time.
[Vibrant General] xjk101:
Unsettling yes. However, the media companies want justice. Don't be surprised when RapidShare goes down next.

There once was the FidoNet, I remember, now the Internet, and if it goes down, we might see something new :)

[Vibrant General] AgentFour20:
Megaupload is back Megavideo.bz
[Vibrant General] dardani89:
well megaupload had servers in Virginia. the international factor is another complication in fighting piracy over the internet. when other countries don't act it does add pressure for America to act unilaterally to protect it's property rights. this mutual action of multiple countries proved that we don't need unilateral action and countries can in fact cooperate on this issue.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ForeignGadger:
I have bought a second-hand Galaxy Tab which will not keep changes in settings or any uploaded files or IDs after switch off and restart.

This means I cannot root it, as any uploaded files with Odin are lost on restart.

Can anyone help me please? I have tried all the usual resets to no avail.

FG
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ForeignGadger:
No-one interested in a tricky problem challenge???

Hmm, I thought this might intrigue the experts, but to no avail.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animatechnica:
Hmm have you really odined and see the files replaced? Can you boot into recovery do a full wipe and odin a stock or custom rom
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ForeignGadger:
Hi. Thanks for getting back.

I have gone up and down the forums for ideas. (for over 3 days now).

The story so far:

I have tried to flash the overcome .tar file for my model using odin 1.83, but get a red box and a Fail! : error 0X140005. I followed the Overcome guide VERY carefully, got the yellow COM box, put the right file in the right box, but when I hit the start button, it fails.

I can boot into "Download". I have tried restore after wiping the cache.

With normal power up, the OS seems to work partially, in that I can do all the things I want to do, but all the settings, WiFi passwords, uploaded files etc disappear on reboot, and any uninstalled programmes re-appear. It seems that it won't permanently write to, or erase from, "long term" memory.

Before this,I have done a full cache wipe and factory restore but no difference.

Thoughts:

a) I am wondering if a previous occupant has tinkered with it and messed up the memory partitions? is it all RAM?

b) As it is stuck, it is stuck with USB debugging disabled. this will be maintained on reboot: could this interfere with Odin?

Any suggestions would be very, very gratefully accepted.

FG
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animatechnica:
Dude i ask this in another forum you posted, did you use odin to install recovery or not? if you did then just boot into recovery and wipe all - then flash galaxytab or any flashable roms that way.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ForeignGadger:
As I said in the second paragraph: I tried to use odin to install recovery, but got the big red square. The file did not transfer.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animatechnica:
No your second paragraph said you flashed overcome. Not recovery

So if odin is not installing recovery can you boot into fastboot? Power off then press power n volume down then go to fastboot mode and install recovery that way. Check this thread for info. . http://www.galaxytabforums.net/forum/galaxy-tab-10-1-general-discussions/1044-my-galaxy-tab-10-1-wont-power-up.html

Then flash a cwm flashable ROM
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ForeignGadger:

I'll report back (eventually!).

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animatechnica:
Lol i hear you i was there too
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ForeignGadger:
hi again; well no success so far.

- I downloaded and installed SDK (software development kit: for other noobs like me)

- I downloaded and installed recovery.img, and installed the google USB drivers from the extras

- I checked that the fastboot.exe, adb.exe (android debug bridge) and recovery.img were all in the platform tools folder.

- got into "download":- odin mode

- plugged in the tab and tried to launch "adb start-server" from cmd screen

(I was in the right directory at the command line), but no cigar: nada.

- I went back and did the PDAnet routine, but still no joy, no devices shown

there were no error messages either, which made me think the usb was not communicating with the tab.

To try this out I used Kies to transfer a photo file to the tab, and viewed on the tab it after disconnecting, so tranfers do take place.

Sure enough, after rebooting, the file was gone, like all the other settings and changes made in the past.

I also tried adb when the tablet was on and I had checked usb debugging. In this case, adb recognised the device and returned the serial number.

It does not do this when in cwm mode as it will not remember to keep debugging on when I power down.

Any other ideas anyone? can I switch debugging on from the command line before I try to recover?

FG, (now getting a sore head and worrying if I have p***d my money up the wall.)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
AFAIK you won't get a response in ADB when the tablet is in download mode but you should when the tablet is in CWM recovery mode.

If it were me I'd odin a stock factory recovery to the device and a stock factory rom for it. Then i'd boot into stock recovery and do the factory reset to see if that cleans things up. You should probably link to the source of the files you're downloading as well as provide specific model of your device so people can verify that you're flashing the right files.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ForeignGadger:
Hi again, sorry to confuse you but I was following your suggestions in post #7 of this thread. when I got to step 5 of that post, I got no response from the device: installed PDAnet to get over the driver issue. and no joy.

When trying the data erase/ factory reset option in the "Download" mode, I get the error message "Can't access to /system/csc/XEU/system.
