[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
If you actually have S-Off like I do and your running ICS like I am, then you should just be able to download the Wifi Tether App 3.1-beta 11. With that set up the device profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE), enable routing fixing, and you should be set, also if you have the S-Off I guess you dont run into the issue of not being able to use the encryption, I'm able to use it no problem. There is no current method to get S-Off as previously stated by others, I have S-Off by pure luck, turned in my RELOCKED Rezound to my Local VZW store and the replacement they gave me had S-Off, stroke of luck!
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Never!!! :cool: :D
[HTC Rezound] hoolahoous:
being a noob.. i made a mistake of equating unlocked boot loader to s-off.

i am actually looking to wifi-tether without unlocking the bootloader. ad-hoc is fine. i know without unlocked bootloader, i get temp root. Is that enough to tether ? also i want to be able to tether without verizon figuring out (i think their official app changes the apn so they will know right away). And of course it will great if I can do it without buying any app..
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I could go with curves and functional...

sorry if you want to steal bandwidth, you have to root. Not sure how long temp root lasts these days.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
And temp root is gone with the OTA so if you want the newer radios and the wifi tethering after the OTA you need to perm root.
[HTC Rezound] hoolahoous:
nope.. I am not stealing bandwidth. It is same bandwidth which is already paid for. Well, that's entirely different conversation.

Well being a noob in rom cooking, i have hard bricked my tab. It doesnt even turn on.

Im new to sammy stuff, so would appreciate some pointers, is this: http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-7-7-jtag-brick-repair/ the only way?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jamaljmys:
me and others flash the room from the stupied idiot guy in this post and got brick our devices, BTW i think he is working with the company you mintioned in web site, if like that he and the company are dirty.

any way, you are developer so try to recognize how flashing rom could make such problem. please.

the device have little hot in left side so maybe some hardware working ??thinking
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ftgg99:
I did not flash anyones rom. I was trying to build my own. Which thread are you referring to?

Definitely not working for any company, and I have developed many Android ROMs and never had this problem. I've been here since 2005, for crying out loud. This is my first Samsung ROM, so I admit to being new there. I will even accept your "stupid idiot" comment, as I guess I deserve it. Although, I wonder why 150 people have downloaded it and only two or three people that I can see have been bricked. Something must connect those with issues. We need to find what it is.

Also, I am happy to pay for the de-bricking of those who are legitimately bricked i.e., followed instructions, have a receipt from JTAG, or whatever it is). Just PM me.

Moved To General​

I have to apply the same rules for all. As the first post contains no development, it does not belong in said section​
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jamaljmys:
let us dry the tears and look forward to solve the problem.

steve, please pass the words came from reaction, it was chock as you seen. sorry for harming.

iam in middle east and not confidant to ship my device to unknown address because he mentioned in web page that he has solution, i mean JTAG and its not subject of who to pay steve.

supposedly that web site is true, and they didn't mention that they will change any part of device, what they will do to fix? the problem happened because we flashed non compatible files i think.

let us figure out the problem and try to find solution. right?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sk806:
Absolutely. I understand. I have gotten into many messes since i started developing, and know that panic. I just need to know everything you.and the other user who had this problem can tell e about your device so i can find out what the common denominator is. So, confirm it is the wifi and 3g version you are using, and what build you are coming from, if you would. Are you using a sim card? Have you tried pressing power and volume up for a while? Thanks. Also, does your tablet feel hot at all?

Steve
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jamaljmys:
thank you steve

in your original topic i gave all info
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ftgg99:
Well I used yours as a base, just chopped the usual crap out, resigned, flashed, everything seemed OK. Initiated reboot, bam, doesn't turn on.

Charged all night, tab is hot along left edge, so I'm guessing still charging. 8600.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jamaljmys:
let us exchange the ideas

first we need to get the device powered so maybe remove and return battery could do something?? but how?

any external way to use it throw usb slot while charging ?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ftgg99:
I would try pulling the battery but have no idea how to get the case off.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] pinkowl:
Steve, just wondering out loud whether those who have the hard-brick issue be because there are on pre-production hardware, so they have a slightly different hardware SKU. Hence your ROM does not work for them.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sk806:
That seems to be the case for one of them. I am not positive about the others. I am having a hard time getting people to just tell me what build they were using prior to the flash...There seem to be 3 people who have had this porblem, and there must be something linking them, although it may be something random. Need to figure it out.

Steve
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ftgg99:
I came from P6800ZSKL2. Dont know if it was from the very first production line, but judging by the quality (i bought three, all with crap displays) they probably were.

Also, i believe the device is on and trying to unpack something because it is indeed warm.

This of course means that there may be hope of getting into download or recovery yet... i will drain it for 34 hours and then attempt to turn it back on.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ezynow:
Please see sk806 original thread- we have been "discussing" why you might be having "problems".
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sk806:
Uh, not sure about the quotes, but yes, I am about to try something that might answer the question of why some bricked. If the answer is affirmative, however, the only solution likely is JTAG...

BTW, his "suggestion" was "incorrect." Still not sure what's up. Will keep posted, and like I said, I'll work something out with JTAG for those who got bricked yesterday and posted about in in the original thread before I responded.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] connexion2005:
For the record hard bricks on the Exynos 4210 will occur generally in one of 3 ways:

1) Mis-matched boot.bin and sbl.bin

2) Incompatible boot.bin and sbl.bin combo

3) Invalid PIT file flash from an earlier generation TAB or Galaxy S device

Anything else causing a black screen is simply hardware failure.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] oyaxai:
For personal interest, what does JTAG do?

If a boot partition or partition table is messed up,

can JTAG recover the device from such condition?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jamaljmys:
now i can answer your question Bro.

even JTAG will not repair the device

just now i received the report from Samsung.

Main Board burn and need change.

thank you

Per your inquiry I did a few EBay searches.

Put in " lg thrill slipgrip "

I was very happy to find slipgrip made a product line for the thrill. I have used the car mount and motorcycle mount for years on other phones. Very stable, rugged and last long.

I did notice they made a slightly oversized version if you have a silicone or basic hard case. That is very cool. Ill be buying one soon.

http://www.clove.co.uk/lg-optimus-3d-scs-400-car-cradle

This is the OEM car cradle/dock. it doesn't have the best range of positions like the previous post, but it holds very well and hardly shakes/vibrates in very poor road conditions and a thumping stereo. My only issues are that if you want to charge the phone, its far easier to plug it in before putting it into the mount, and it does not "switch to car mode" as this site claims. there are no sensors for the phone to do this outside of the voltage/wattage from the charger. hope this helps.

Delete /system/bin/ gpsd

Delete /system/lib/hw/ everything in this folder

Delete /system/etc/ gps.conf

Copy all the files from /system/lib/hw/ from your rom's zip file to your phone's /system/lib/hw/ , set the permissions to rw-r--r--

Reboot to recovery

I have a problem with my sms backup file. It's Larger size in every backup. First 7mb then I have delete some of my message (Total not more than 50 sms) and backup it again this time its size is 14mb. And in my new flash rom. I have restore sms backup file (14mb) until now... It's doesn't finish (5 hours ago). How to sovle this problem. I've search of this problem but I can't found it.

Before I backup this time my sms backup files is not more than 1-2mb but I don't know what happen.

I hope you will understand what I mean.

Thank you very much and sorry for my English again.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbawden:
What backup app are you using? It sounds to me as though the app is appending the backups to the same file, rather than overwriting the backup file.

Check to see if there is an option in the backup app, to overwrite the file, or an option for maximum backup sets/days to keep.

What I have read on the Galaxy Skyrocket forums is that people were able to get the Skyrocket working on Tmobiles 3g/4g network by just flashing a Tmobile radio. The ATT Galaxy Note uses the same Radio and snapdragon processor so I would assume it would be the same process.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhishekcal:
Hi frnds,

I am having prob. with my college wifi. THe college wifi is 802.1 EAP secured network. So after connecting to the wifi. When i open the browser the browser first open the university's login page where i have to enter my username and pass.

And after clicking on login then i can open any site using the browser only.

But when i open any other app like market it does not connect it shows not network connection.

So the problem i think is that before connecting to the net, the wifi first verify the user identity. That can be done only in browser but entering details but not in case if market.

Hence does anybody know a method by which i can verify the wifi for the whole phone and hence can use any app on it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djghost_:
Many college WiFi networks are configured not to allow second party apps (for example Android Market) to exchange data via that netowork. U would have to ask your network supervisor on your college if the "blocking second party apps" is true.

The proof, that the WiFi is working correctly is, that u can open any other site via the phone browser.

If u are willing only previews of apps in the market, try to connect to the market site via the phone net browser :]
[HTC Rezound] jcdrummr:
After reading hundreds of forum posts, watching many youtube reviews, and spending hours of silent contemplation with Buddhist monks, I still can not decide between the Otterbox Commuter, Seidio Active, and the Incipio Silicrylic. They all seem fairly similar, with a few key differences, and since I know many of you have owned at least one of these, I could use your input.

First and foremost the reason I am buying the case is to improve the function of the power and volume buttons. In fact, I switched back to the standard battery from the extended because none of the cases I could find really addressed those button issues. I'm sure they all do a sufficient job of protection, so my main concerns are fit and button improvement.

The otterbox and the incipio clearly show protruded buttons that would appear to help with that situation. Can anyone comment on the seidio's buttons? Also, the incipio seems like its a bit loose. Having held an iPhone with the case on, it didnt feel snug at all. This seems to be the case ( ;) ) with the Rez as well.

In terms of looks, I like the OB the best, but it also seems the bulkiest and I'm not so sure about the port covers. As for the seidio, I've read about peeling finish on the back cover. I'm not sure anyone's had it long enough to have experienced it, but I AM hoping you can weigh in on the camera. The lens looks restricted by the back cover.

The last factor I'm using to decide between the three is the lip around the screen. It should be big enough to protect the screen from a faceplant, but I'm also worried about it restricting the use of the screen toward the edges.

I appreciate any input you have, and I'm hoping others find this information useful in making a decision.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
My vote is Seido. I've owned the Otterbox, but not Incipio. As far as quality of the holster, nothing compares to the Seido. Just stronger and seems to last forever. The buttons are easier to use on the Seido than the Otterbox. The Otterbox is slightly less bulky, but it's negligible at best. I have 2 Seidos, one red and one blue. I have yet to experience any peeling from the plastic. I've thrown it in bags, stuffed it in pockets. It just seems to hold up nicely. The lip is nice on the Seido. It's about the same as on the Otterbox but it doesn't inhibit use of the screen like the Otterbox can. The Seido is made really well where you can actually push the rubber aside if you need to get really far over. I was actually afraid that this would stretch the rubber, but this thing has been solid and hasn't stretched at all. I can't say the same about my Otterbox.

Both are amazing cases. I think the Seido looks a lot better once you add in the different colors. The blue is gorgeous and the red matches the phone perfectly. Neither the Otter or the Seido do anything to inhibit the camera. But I would still go with the Seido based on build quality of the clip/holster and the quality of the case itself. Just my 2 cents. :D Buy it, you won't regret it.

EDIT: I also change my case every day, so it's gone through some serious tests for me. Every time I put my Seido back on, it's like the first time I got it. The plastic is just super strong and the rubber won't stretch. Seriously, I'll never buy another brand of case again if I can help it. (And no, I don't work for Seido :D)

EDIT 2: Here is my review of a few cases including the Seido Active and the Otterbox. This was before I purchased the clip for the Otterbox, but you get the idea.

And here are some pics of the red one.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
+ 1.

The buttons are actually easier to use with the case than without it.

No issues with the camera lens

Great feel. Not too bulky and a solid, tight fit. I have all the confidence in the world that the phone would be protected if I dropped it.

KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] a-jive:
I'm the opposite if the first reply, had the otterbox, upgraded to the incipio. To me the otterbox was too slick and way too big. It made the rezound bigger than my wife's thunderbolt with an incipio. I do like the port covers on otter box, but I also like to use a car dock, and you can't have both!

The incipio has been great over the two months I've had it. I would reccoment it. On an off easily, and it looks nice. The screen protector doesn't have cut outs for the camera or light sensor (which has no impact for me) but is very robust.

There is a little bit of a stretching if the silicon layer for me, but I use a really tight arm band for running and it pulls on it pretty bad. I don't think it would be the case if I didn't abuse it like that.

You should probably just buy both!
[HTC Rezound] jcdrummr:
:D No kidding!

Thanks for the quick responses.

Wasabi I almost just PMd you my questions, what with your previous reviews and all (badass wallpaper, btw), but I thought there might be more people asking the same questions. You mentioned that the power button was still flush. Would you say that its about the same functionality as naked, or better? Like I said...thats basically my #1 concern. Also the camera cutout looks way better in your pics than it does on the Seidio website.

Also Jive, a guy at work said the plastic of his Incipio was really brittle. I told him better that plastic than the phone, but have you noticed any cracking or chipping?
[HTC Rezound] killahrey:
seidio active is the way to go. The incipio case is garbage. It cracked the first time I went to put it on. The otter box is just huge and far too bulky. I'm sure its a good case, I don't have it but my brother in law does. Sometimes the silicon part slips a bit near the top, its like they didn't make a proper fitting mold. I personally think the seidio is the best looking of all of them too. I don't have the seidio case because I use the extended case or I would use it.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Thanks..I had that wallpaper forever :D The power button is flush, yes, but there's like a cutout for it. I'll post a pic in a second. It's much easier to press than without the case. The volume buttons are muuuuuch easier. So power button naked would be like a 5/10 for ease of use. With the case it's 7.5/10. Volume buttons are like 4/10 naked. With the case they're easily 10/10. And yes, there's no obstruction of the camera with the case. I love this case. It's easily the best one I've purchased for any phone, and I'm kind of a case freak.

EDIT: Here are the pics. You can see what I mean by flush. It doesn't protrude like the volume buttons. But it does have the nice cutout so it's very easy to push. And ignore how dirty the phone is. lol

EDIT 2: You need anymore pics or anything, just let me know. About to leave in a minute, but I'll be back later and can take some different angles if you need me to.
[HTC Rezound] OLDsJUNKIE:
I'm right with Wasabi on this. Had the Seidio since the week it came out. The rating that Wasabi put on the buttons is pretty much spot on. They don't protrude, but make the buttons a lot easier to manipulate than naked. The fit is nice and it looks great on the phone. The lip on the front is perfect for protecting the screen. I have had it get in the way trying to place letters on the very edge while playing words. It will stretch out of the way and springs right back in to place though. I haven't had any peeling or anything on the back. I have noticed the edges of the silicon getting a little glossy. This is to be expected though since I take it in and out of my pocket a thousand times a day! Best case I've had on a phone.
[HTC Rezound] jcdrummr:
wow, looks like I'm getting the Seidio. Thanks for the help!
[HTC Rezound] GreenXSniper:
Good call on getting the seido, I have the white one and I love it!
[HTC Rezound] fenixnr:
Just remember with any of these cases and the camera, you will lose all of your low light capability. The flash ports aren't setup properly so you will have white half images.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Umm, what? Do you own the Seido or Otterbox Commuter case? I've never had any issue with the flash or photos in general ever. What are you talking about?
[HTC Rezound] OLDsJUNKIE:
Never had any picture issues. Flash works fine.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
Another +1

No issues at all with the camera.

KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] DIncLover:
Just throwing my weight behind the Seidio. I have the gray on gray Incipio and it is definitely looser. (Anyone want to buy it?)

Actually, my favorite is the Seidio Surface (because it will slide into a side leather pouch), but if you're looking for more protection, go Seidio Active. It goes in and out of the holster quite nicely as well.
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
can somebody post some more pics of Seido Active?

Are you looking for more than these? If so, let me know specifically what you're looking for and I can post them when I get mine in the mail tomorrow.
