I have been searching the internet for a tutorial on how to successfully root my Alcatel OT-990 and I cannot find a decent tutorial that I can follow start to finish. I have tried several of the methods but none of them seem to work. :( I am new to this whole rooting process but I am very keen to get it lol.

I am running windows xp if that makes any difference as I can see a lot of the tutorials are for linux which are no use to me.

Hopefully I can get this device rooted. Cheers ;)

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] NLogN:
I have the opportunity to upgrade for $50, but the NC really runs CM7 nicely. For those with experience with the NC & NT, are the extras worth $50?

Yes, NT has a fast processor and it's dual-core...is the difference noticeable?

The speaker on the NC has crapped out on me twice now...how is the NT speaker?

Anything else that's better, worse?

TIA for your input.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Fatos:
Dont think twice. NT left NC far back in competition.

Double ram.

Double speed

Double memory

Better screen

Check development thread to see how Ics flows on it.

Hit thanks if you want. :D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
there's always a better product if you wait, but can you wait?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cubfan80:
My wife had a NC and when I bought my NT and she saw how nice it "flowed" and streamed shows off the net she sold her NC and bought the NT. NO doubt a better unit in the NT.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TRS-80:
At one point in time, I had the exact same question.

Back then (after reading up on these forums), I was all excited to run out and find me a nice used Nook Color on the cheap, root it, install CM7, etc...

Then I was at the mall one day with the gf, there was a Barnes & Noble there, I thought I'd go in and fondle the goods. Wow am I glad I did! The NC was just so choppy, the tablet much smoother. Way better hardware, makes a huge difference. I spent the few extra $$ for the NT and have never looked back. Extremely happy.

IMO, that few extra dollars you pay initially is well worth the increased performance and enjoyment over the life of the product.

Now, I was comparing stock to stock. I'm not sure how much faster a NC running CM7 runs over stock, but I'm guessing still nowhere near the NT.

Best thing to do, go in to your local B&N (or Best Buy, etc., lots of places sell them) and have a look for yourself.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Philly Tim:
I've spent significant time with both NC and NT, and I think the upgrade would be well worth the extra money.

Android development for the NT is still in the early stages, but within a week or two we'll have an SD card with a dual boot option thanks to the fine developers here.

The microphone on the NT might be handy for some future apps, as well.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] NLogN:
Thanks for all the input. I did mess with it, and the stock ROM wasn't blowing me away that much, granted I only spent about 5 mins on it.

Okay, I'm sold. Thanks again...

Go ICS!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] NLogN:
Update:

First off, thanks again for all the input.

I picked up a NT yesterday & after messing with it, I can notice a difference. The UI is a lot smoother & snappier. So, now to hang tight for CM7 or CM9. CM7 is pretty close now, just the sleep issue before Alpha.

Cheers :D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] daedricgeek:
Easy Choice

I got the NT ... Rooted within ten minutes ...

I mostly play games and read books...

While no breathtaking difference to NC , lot smoother , Also if you play games, then the SGX 540 makes a helluva difference.

Also I'm predicting better CM9 updates in the future since TI OMAP 4430 is launch platform :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Swiissjokr:
lmao :) I did exactly the same, it just took me about 12 hours to root mine around Christmas time, I was not using any rooting information from xda.

Pretty sure this hasn't been posted yet, but Firefox 10 has just been released for Android, and it is in my mind close to the perfect browser.

I've been dying for an Android browser that is GPU accelerated like Opera and Dolphin, but has scrolling constraints in the vertical plane. Meaning if I zoom in and flick to scroll down, then it doesn't scroll minutely left or right. Firefox 10 does this perfectly. It's also very fast now and on par with Opera/Dolphin.

Also, unlike Opera, it doesn't spaz out when you change the LCD density to 240 and change the interface to tablet mode that makes it impossible to use the menus.

Only small things, but they were driving me crazy on Opera Mobile and I'm now happy there's a solution.

If you haven't already, I'd suggest giving it a lash.

[Captivate General] t1mm0:
I've been visiting XDA for many years and always find the answers to my questions via searching rather than posting questions.

I've therefore never had the requirement to post in the development section but I do now regarding ICS RC4.

I realize that there are many users who never search and *do* post stupid questions but is there any way for someone like myself to skip the 10 posts?

This isn't perhaps the best titled thread but I kinda feel like this since I'll have to post another 8 stupid threads before I can get to the folk who may know the answer to my question.
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
If you want to post a question about something related to a ROM, try looking in the Q&A section for the ROM you're using. You can post there without the 10-post limit, and unless you're bringing up a specific bug or have some sort of code to contribute to the item you would be posting under, that section should be able to handle whatever you would need.
[Captivate General] t1mm0:
New users should really read this I suppose. :)

I know it makes sense. I just needs an answer quickly :D
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
If the Q&A isn't getting you where you need to be, you could always try the waters of sending the developer in question a PM. Depending on how swamped they are, you might get the answer you're needing a lot quicker.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
It's really a stupid rule. What it should be, is 50 posts to make a thread in the dev section.

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate General] t1mm0:
I can see the objective of it the rule but yes, 50 posts to start a new thread in the Dev section would make more sense to me.
[Captivate General] BeowulfShaeffer:
Agreed. I lurk, learn, and do. And I'm grateful to those who do develop on this platform. But I can't participate because I haven't passed the magic 10-post rule.

And I'm a software developer (not Android) by trade, so I understand what facilitates discussion and what does not, and I have a pretty good idea what are reasonable questions and what aren't.
[Captivate General] little8020:
The purpose of the Dev section is to post about developing not questions that is what the q&a or general
[Captivate General] reinbeau:
Thread closed

There are specific threads set up in Q&A for most of the ROMs, including ICSSGS RC 4. Post there and you'll be read, and most likely answered.

[Atrix 4G General] me3x:
The Social Networking application is not receiving updates and it seems to be somehow related to Webtop hack. I have this problem with newly installed full [ROM] Wet Dream v1.4.3 [2.3.6][LS HDMI][MODs][THEMEs], but many Atrix users reported here (not able to post link), that the problem started after webtop mod installation. The Webtop mod is included in this rom.

The problem is, that Social App looks like no Account is Added. I already tried to add and remove Facebook and Twitter accounts few time without success :(. The wired thing is, when I go to SETTINGS-ACCOUNTS-FACEBOOK there is no username, it is a blank field :eek:. I see the same problem with all motoblur accounts - picasa, Youtube, ...

My advice is beware of Webtop mod until this issiue is resolved, if you somehow rely on motoblur accounts.

[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
Make sure you have the Facebook Authenticator 2.3.6 installed on your system. If not, maybe you can recover it from a previous Titanium Backup.

You can check if you have it or not from Titanium Backup.

I'm just guessing here, so don't take my word for it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] merkur_xr4ti:
After upgrading, reflashing or changing ROM's we end up with all FF's as bluetooth mac address, right?

Then we have that option in bootloader: 0=write BT_MAC, but does anybody know which program to use to do that???

Or where in the rom or boot.bin file is located that address?

I edited both of those files and I could not find it anywhere, because I was trying to manually modify the rom file and then with the new mac address upload it to mio P550 memory.

So if anybody knows this, please share with us! there are alot of those posts with mac as all FF's or AA's but I could not find any answers how to do it.

I even made home made jtag if needed, I know from reading that there in this forum are many people with huge knowledge of these things, please help!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] artisticcheese:
Hello,

According to Radio thread ATT has 2.3.6 ROM (KK2) but majority of custom ROMs are using KJ version (2.3.4). Why is that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] atrixboy:
Unrestricted band selection and removed data throttles mostly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
Having tried both, I can give my personal opinion that 2.3.5 based roms are much smoother and have better battery life than the 2.3.6 OTA KK1 update that was pulled. The way I see it, there's a reason AT&T pulled that update; it's probably a little unstable.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
My wife got her CG dock last night, and while I had no intention of getting one for my AG one, after using it for about 30 seconds, I decided to go out and get one.

I've read through the Charge Policy thread but wanted to confirm the behavior I'm seeing today.

Scenario:

Dock Charge Level- 100%

Tablet Charge Level- 100%

AC Charging adapter is plugged into the dock and the AC outlet.

Tablet screen is on.

Slowly, the tablet charge decreases.

I would expect the tablet and dock to remain at 100% while the AC adapter is plugged in, but understand there may be some other behavior by design.

Is what I'm experiencing normal or an issue with my dock/tablet or configuration?

Thanks for any help.

2 Primes, no problems with either other than weak GPS...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
Thats probably normal.

Same for me, starting with the OG Transformer. I was "Thinking on the KB/Dock" when a friend at work let me try his dock on my tablet. Bought it like 15 minutes later on Amazon, LOL!

I think what you are seeing is normal, but keep an eye on it. My OG Transformer would completely discharge the dock, and only then start draining the tablet. On the Prime, it seems to drain Tablet to 70-%, then lets that dock sacrifice it's electrons for the Tablets sake. Then the Tablet drains some more and so on. Makes sense, as with the TF101 the Tablet was never getting cycled most days, I would take it to work, and at the end of the day stick it back on charger, and the dock would recharge, tablet never having drained other than a percent or two. Still I would live to understand the algorithms they use to determine optimal performance. Its never efficient to let a battery charge a battery as there will always be losses, but with this design, that's an acceptable loss.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoteriX:
This is the right answer.

By design, it doesn't keep the tablet topped off, but waits until it falls to a particular battery level -- IIRC, around 70%. This optimizes battery life between both batteries and is a more efficient use of energy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
Thanks, i agree i observed it all day and thats how it works.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
Its an ingenious idea from Asus. My OG Transformer's dock constantly charged the tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cswithxda:
Hello friends,

How to get into fastboot to relock the bootloader, if my volume button is dead? By dead, I mean the ribbon has been ripped off of the mobo (it was soldered onto mobo).

Since I'm a brand-new noob, the only way I know of and have done is to get into fastboot mode and lock it back up like what I did when I unlocked it. Any other way to lock it, ideally within the Android OS? Since my volume buttons are completely dead, I doubt that I can get into any "mode" other than OS right now..

TIA!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
adb reboot bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cswithxda:
I've seen that command in a post from search earlier, but there was no response after that post.

Would you explain the procedure? I am afraid that I might do anything wrong on top of these disasters i've gone thru with this phone :o

I also saw another line during earlier search: "if they don't know how to setup an adb command, they probably shouldn't unlock their phones"... Looks like I've done what I shouldn't..?;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdk82:
I would say doing whatever ripped the volume button cable out was what you shouldn't have been doing :p If you unlocked the phone you have the software you used to unlock, right? What software/guide did you use/follow? Are you using Windows/Linux/Mac? The only way to get to the bootloader w/o the volume buttons (afaik) is to use adb via usb. If you provide more details I can try to help you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Teedat:
Once you're in adb reboot bootloader, do fastboot oem lock. Opposite of how you unlocked it in the first place
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
navigate your cmd line to the folder with adb and fastboot in it. Hook the phone up to the computer and type:

adb reboot bootloader

which will make your phone reboot into the bootloader mode. You can then proceed with what you need to do.

I agree with whoever said that. This is another example of people messing with things before reading and learning how they work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cswithxda:
Thanks for your help guys!

btw, anyone found xdadevelopers to load extremely slower in Firefox when compared to Chrome? (just offtopic:D)

Anyway, I unlocked the bootloader when I was switching to yakju cmd and this folder called "fastboot-and-adb" in which there is both adb.exe and fastboot.exe. I used command "fastboot unlock bootloader" or something alike.

I'll do some more search and learn. Don't want you guys to think of me as a lazy bone who unlocked their bootloader using 1-click toolkit :D

p.s. edit: in my other thread, someone suggested using quickboot app.

Thanks for your replies guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cswithxda:
Somehow it says device not found :(

I do have proper driver (Naked Driver Beta 0.5 by 1wayjonny) that my phone was able to be recognized under bootloader at the time when I could actually get into bootloader. My phone is also being recognized as media device now... I have also turning usb debug on...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
Try adb remount

The ad devices

This should list the serial number

Then all commands should work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] synaesthetic:
You need to turn USB debugging on, and then type "adb devices" and see if it shows up. It may not using the Naked Driver; I had to install the full Samsung USB driver package before ADB would see my Galaxy Nexus.

If it does show up, then you type "adb reboot-bootloader" and it should boot into fastboot. Then just type "fastboot oem lock" and it will wipe the storage partitions and restore the bootloader lock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cswithxda:
Thanks for the help at late night guys. I finally got into the bootloader, thru a mac tho :o Kinda ironic that I am a supporter of Windows, well, at least a firm user of Windows.

Tried adb remount, it still says device not found

I believe that you quoted my "I have turned USB debug on" ;p

Gave up on trying Windows drivers. When I was flashing the Yakju, I tried Samsung full driver, and it didn't work on my machine, i.e., the phone can't be detected in bootloader mode, while the beta 0.5 driver worked. So I decided not to mess with it anymore.

It looks like when the phone is not under bootloader, windows recognize it fine as MTP devices and install proper samsung driver from the internet directly. This allows me to open it up in explorer to browse files and such, but the phone won't show up under adb devices somehow.

Looks like MTP device (when the phone is in Android OS) and the fastboot mode use two kinds of drivers. This is just my assumption, though.

Anyway, finally got into bootloader now with Mac, and it's pretty funny I have to do everything thru command as the volume rockers are dead :D

And most importantly, thank you guys for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cswithxda:
Just another update :)

It's real funny now that the bootloader is locked, I can't unlock it again cuz I don't have the volume button working, so I couldn't choose YES on the phone.

I'm not trying to unlock it again, but just to confirm if there's really no work around, in case I encounter this situation again in the future :p

Lucky that locking the bootloader won't erase everything, or I won't be able to flash a ROM with it locked... :cold sweating:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgriffttu:
Ok, just got my Galaxy Nexus today after defecting from AT&T when they throttled my download speed for being in the top 5% on an unlimited plan, even though it was LESS THAN 4GB. (when I say throttled, I mean from typically 8-10Mbps to around 3-5Kbps... KBPS!) So I said, fine AT&T, I've been drooling over the nexus anyway, peace be da journey.

...but I digress...

After playing around with things, downloading apps, familiarizing my self with the wonderment that is ICS, I decided to do a speed test (ookla/speedtest.net):

Is this typical?? Did I just happen to be standing in an LTE vortex of some kind?? I didn't think it was supposed to be THAT fast...sheesh. Either way I'm lovin this phone...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LocoTSX:
