[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Been there done that.. NEVER AGAIN

I actually myself flashed the recovery to boot linux native boot.. yes M D .. this is a predicament that you find the answer before you flash that

of Course you can reflash the correct recovery if you do not toast android..Also you might could try a hard reset see if it will stop boot loop.

you found the flaw in doing this.. BUT YOU forgot one thing.. How to reflash the recovery.. This you have to do thru adb. its in the Dev forum on how to install recovery.img thur adb push.. be sure to run its magic as the instructions show..

just my opinion.. you should have not flashed this into your recovery partition if you did not know how to get out of it.

sc2ks thread and thors recovery thread both have your fix... Good Luck..
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
You have way too much free time on your hands :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] peewster:
well i suppose i could also flash the recovery from linux right, boot linux on the tab, look for the correct partition

# cat /proc/partitions

dd if=blablablabla

adb still works "a little" can use adb, can't get root permission, but i'm able to get the uuid with adb devices.

Was to tired yesterday to try stuff out, today will be the day :D
[Acer Iconia A500] peewster:
So let's dd a cwm recovery on

mmcblk0p1, should work :)
[Acer Iconia A500] peewster:
So from with linux i get this uuid's

View attachment 891095
[Acer Iconia A500] peewster:
No i need to find a way to run itsmagic somehow :)
[Acer Iconia A500] peewster:
Ok, i'm probably screwed nicely.

no devices attached with the tool given earlier.

Any other ideas ?
[Acer Iconia A500] peewster:
Ok, so i went home, took the table, gave him a kiss, booted up my linbox, and all magic on hands, WindFu*** didn't recognized the whole tab with adb, so listed devices was 0.

So, as i sai, i went home, booted up my linbox, adb devices, and taddaa, there was my uid.

Back to freaki*** Windblows, used the tool from method 1:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1276227

Now there was one change i had to make, the cpuid was set with a:

0x0 in front of the uuid, i had to remove 0x otherwise my uuid wouldn't fit in the tool, started the tool, flashed back to android, all done.

Thanks folks!
[General Questions and Answers] CurtisAndroid5:
Hello guys,

I'm thinking of trying to root my San Francisco II, but the only rooting method I've found is the one that includes flashing and using adb. I haven't discovered if any of the one-click apps such SuperOneClick or Universal Androot will work on my device- is there any risk in trying to use them or is it perfectly safe for me to just give it a shot?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
I think the worst that can happen is that it doesn't work, but I'd suggest doing the ADB method. These one-click rooters don't teach you anything about the phone. If you really want to try then try it, but the known method will get you acquainted with the device and manual flashing so that in the future if you have a problem or want to try something then you have the tools to do so - in your head, and installed on your computer.

If you want to try those apps, I don't see how it could brick your phone. If you have done a search to see if they work on your phone and have come up with nothing, chances are they won't work.

[General Questions and Answers] CurtisAndroid5:
I tried using SuperOneClick, didn't work unfortunately. I don't want to do the ADB method as it installs Clockwork Recovery and I don't want to mess around with roms etc on this device yet, I'd rather wait until I'm comfortable with the methods etc, and currently they look a bit too tedious for my liking.

Thanks for your comment, really appreciate it.
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
You can have CWM installed without flashing any roms. You would probably use it to flash Superuser to gain root. If you're not comfortable doing it then wait. Take some time to read up on everything. Read everything you can find. Read the Q&A forums and read the responses, you'll find a lot of little things that aren't covered in guides. If there's a video on YouTube then watch that. When you feel like you are comfortable with all of it then root.

If you're not tech savvy and it's difficult for you, then you can always get someone else to teach you. I do one on one crash courses (a couple hours) in person for gas money plus a little (15-30 bucks, depending on time), they're tailored for what the person needs - an older person that just needs to know how to download apps and stuff or someone that wants to flash and tweak their heart away. If you have the money, check craigslist. If you can't find anything then make an ad.

If you need further assistance in general, I'm here to help if you get stumped. While I'm not familiar with your phone, I'd be happy to look over the rooting method and help you out (for free, of course). If there's a specific forum for your device then I'd check there and post any questions you have.

Good luck!

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] goathouse774:
this thing has so many problems that it's completely unusable! It times out its connection to my tablet after a few seconds. when I wake it back up it force closes whatever app I happen to be in. half the time it wont even wake up at all. It randomly repeats a typed letter, ad nauseum, during the brief intervals of "functionality."

I'm starting to get very skeptical about android. This is as bad as gtalk failing to send messages, which is another widespread fatal flaw that has gone completely unaddressed by Google.

The bluetooth implementation in android is BROKEN. SHATTERED. Extremely disappointing.

I've done a million searches seeking solutions to this problem and the internet is stone dumb on this issue. I want a workaround and I want it yesterday.

I'm using a Transformer tablet, but the same crappy issues are being had by my Xoom as well.

Unacceptable. Period.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Deleted member 4444106:
I'm sorry to hear that, I've used bluetooth mice, keyboards and stereo headsets from the TF101 (not sure about other androids) and they work a treat! They pair like a dream and allow you to rename them (which is great as my headsets name is KC302).

If you want a device with a poor bluetooth implementation I'd look at iOS. Does logitech assert Android as an OS it supports? Have you even spoken to them or are you just ranting? Bluetooth is a pretty solid standard these days, usually its when devices try to implement stuff beyond the standard that things get buggy.

Have you tried other roms? Kernels? (using the same devices)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] goathouse774:
I have in fact spoken to logitech and they want to send me a replacement (which wont help anyone.) The device has android printed on it's backside so it should work without a hint of trouble. Not.

I have rooted a few devices in my time, but not the transformer. Is it easy yet?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Deleted member 4444106:
Or.. It might help? I agree though, doesn't sound all that promising.

I believe that depending on your firmware, its easier than turning it on.

The Razorclaw method requires installing an app from a link, then clicking one button. Make sure you have a compatible system first, but then it takes about 38.4 seconds from downloading to being rooted.:D
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorkyDev:
Which is the best rom to go with?

I've downloaded _n0p_'s DSC v0.7 and Tenorntex's Longhorn 2.1 v2, seeing as these 2 were the newest and latest and had Android 2.3.3

Are there any other better rom's or has anyone tried the 2 I listed, if so whats the difference?

Thanks
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkumaMax:
Better is very vague when it comes to ROM's it all depends on what you want in a Rom. I have old Simple Streak 1.2. Yes there is newer ROM's out but this one works perfect for what I need. In my Case Stability.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordmorphous:
DSC is the most actively developed/supported. Plenty stable for me. I don't think any of the earlier Froyo based ROMs are being developed further.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorkyDev:
I meant as far as Stability, Performance and up to date, I don't care about the Stage UI and was gunna theme it myself or use SPB Shell 3D.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorkyDev:
Could someone point me in the direction to an easy install rom?

I don't wanna install "these update pkg's" after renaming and then plug my phone into the pc and open cmd and then type this in on the pc. et cetera et cetera

I just wanna download a zip drag it to the card, bootup in safemode and install from sd card.

I'd consider doing all that work if I weren't testing out the device.

I won it off ebay, the guy replaced the screen and said it's been randomly rebooting ever since. But he never did a factory reset or new rom install ever since fixing the screen, so I just wanna simply install a rom and see if it works then go on from there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
Unfortunately I do not believe that anyone can change the way that the Streak works just so it is more convenient for you or so that you don't have to learn anything.

In the time you took to navigate to XDA and make your post you could have flashed a ROM onto your Streak - plugging it in and everything.

The only ROM you can install by just putting it on the SD Card is the same one that is currently on the Streak, if you don't mind holding down a couple of buttons and using recovery mode.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If anyone is wondering why developers leave and give the site a bad reputation look no further. Someone with over 600 posts under his username should not be making noob posts like this one. With so many posts he knows how to use the search engine and the wiki, but I guess when it comes to our device using the search engine and the wiki is an inconvenience, along with renaming a file "update.pkg".
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorkyDev:
So would that be this: Streak_407_20707_14.pkg ? According to the first post above me do I rename it?

Some people learn better through interaction where they can actually ask questions... I don't have over 600 posts so who are you talking about? Furthermore if you are talking about first thing I'd do is learn how to read mr wise guy, secondly!! You tell me how one is supposed to learn which rom is the best based on user reviews and opinions, where do I go to find that out and wheres the wiki on that, unless you expect people to read 200 and 300 page threads also? I have barely 150 posts and rarely post at all unless it is to ask questions or make requests. It's not like I have

600

posts and every single one of them are questions.

This is only my second time dealing with android and second time flashing android first time it was simply moving a zip to the sdcard and booting up into safe mode and selecting update through sdcard, so certainly I'd be baffled and have questions when one time it was so easy and the second time I've gotta jump through hoops and everything.

Lastly since WHEN Is asking a Question SOOOO wrong in the Dell Streak 5 Q&A Category???? It's not like I posted it in the wrong area or something, but ohhh no'es how dare n00b be confused and need a lil help/guidance of some experienced users, ohh mercy me the drama in that!!

Last time I checked that is what XDA is here for, for people to learn, not to be attacked by asshat trolls like you.

If anyone is wondering why XDA has a multitude more lurkers than posters look no further than to the hardass that is Strephon Alkhalikoi View Postwho can't stand to see a n00b in need of help!

Like this

BUT THE VERY FIRST THING THE WIKI SAYS IS To Stay AWAY From Fastboot, but this tells you to use Fastboot... So what gives and which is it? LoL
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
I hope that you can actually read better than that. The wiki does not say to stay away from fastboot. It clearly states two commands that should not be used on the Streak. It goes onto give a number of examples of using fastboot.

I hope that you other 157 posts (as I wtite this) on XDA were not as tiresome or ill-informed as the ones you have posted here.

The information you need is here in the forums, available at the links in my signature, and on other forums. Please exercise some patience and read the info.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorkyDev:
Uhh yea sory... I forgot about the 2 options to stay away from, just the dangerous part stayed with me. LoL

Do I need to be at a certain android version or can I make a semi-major update leap?

Also it says

Do I need the recovery.img as well? It said nothing about a img file or anything just said "matching stock recovery" so yea, is that the right thing?

_

First I'm gunna try factory reset and see if that fixes the random reboot problem, hopefully it does the seller said he just installed the new screen and never did anything except for just trying to powering it up, use normally and it would reboot suddenly.

WELL NO DUH, you need to restore everything back to default settings with a factory/hard reset. Thats like trying to install a video card or webcam and expecting it to work right away without installing the dirvers. - Hopefully!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorkyDev:
Well it's only getting as far as the dell logo screen/splash screen. I've tried the entering safe mode but nothing yet, once it's powered on it just sits at that screen.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badhobz:
dsc is great and very stable if you dont mind the few following quirks.

1. google maps will always run in the background unless you freeze it. This will drain your battery quite quickly

2. Wifi might or might not be broken, if it is broken use wifi analyzer if not profit

the benefits of dsc?

fast

running GB instead of froyo

dpi change is awesome.

screen default orientation is awesome

stable other than those few bugs

Battery life was decent.

-------------

Im however just running 2.2 froyo on a stock rogers. The battery life is amazing on stock 2.2 (a whole day, and still have about 30% with heavy usage and constant 3g) and the wifi works fine. For me this is the most stable rom however it is a bit slow compared to DSC. This phone is used for work so it has to just.. work.

---------------

Havent really tried the other roms yet, but depending on what you want out of the phone you can try the DSC and see if you can live with these little quirks.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorkyDev:
Yea I was leaning more towards DSC than Longhorn, it looks like it's updated more frequently too.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigfootmc:
When I turned on my Nexus S i9020 yesterday all greyish colors where red. Directly after turning it on, the lock and the google writing where white as usual, but after about 2 second it got a red complexion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vy5NkFrQDuA

I tried to make a screenshot of my homescreen, but in the jpg the red complexion has vanished and it looked as usual.

I'm running ICS 4.0.3 stock and did the update back in december.

Removing the battery for a minute didn't help, but after turning it off and on again several times it was back to normal. Today I got low on battery and turned it off. When I turned it on again at home the reddish screen was back.:confused:

Any thoughts on this?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjm77:
Hi guys and gals!

I've been experiencing these problems for a long time, but it didn't piss me off enough till today. Is it only me? Whenever the phone is charging it takes me forever to turn it on. If I press the power button this stupid battery appears and nothing happens. The same if I hold the power for 8-10 seconds (hard reset). I always manage to turn it on somehow eventually but it can take a while and I never know what actually made the damn thing to come alive. Are there others out there suffering the same fate?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aftabbabar:
seems like the problem many are having with the usb charging port. My problem is that phone keeps charging even after the usb cable is disconnected. the phone thinks its still charging and goes through the battery charging animation yet the phone is not even connected. then the phone will not turn on at all. So the way I would turn it on would be to connect it to usb charging and wait 5 minutes, then click on the power button and hold it a few seconds. then the phone would turn on.

Here is a test you can do to confirm if the usb port is going bad. when the phone is off and won't turn on and battery charging animation is on, take a plastic strip and try to push in the usb pins inside the charging port. I mean, to push the pins inside the phone, straight back. then turn on the phone and it will turn on. if that is the case, then your usb port circuit has to be changed inside the phone.

Hi, Master WUGUI:D

I am new to android, start with galaxy nexus, now using stock ROM 4.0.2, rooted, and some questions here...

1. I installed a Ti Backup, which is said to be a necessary tool, I wonder if it's safe to restore the backups across difference ROMs like stock 4.0.2 and stock 4.0.1 or stock 4.0.2 and CM ROM?

2. How can I do backup/restore manually? include the app and their settings?

3. Can CM rom receive OTA update? or do I have to manually re-flash new CM ROM?

thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Its safe to restore apps + app data often. It is very rarely a good idea to restore system data.

What do you mean "manually"? You can just use Titanium Backup.

CM doesn't do OTA updates. If you want the new version of the ROM you're on, you download and flash the new version over top of your current version. (ONLY for new versions of the same ROM, not new versions from different ROMs).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lzp729:
Thank you for your answer.
