I just want to share that Turge's method for installing .13 firmware also worked for me with 8.8.3.33 firmware!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1492887

I followed his instructions step by step, rebooted, and found that the blob file from 8.8.3.33 was not accepted.

So i started from the beginning and this time it updated and rebooted to bootloop

I went to boot menu (power + voldown), wiped data and after reboot it started honeycomb setup screen.

My previous FW was .11 OTA and now I am on HTK75.DE_epad-8.8.3.33-20111223

credits go also to kooxik who posted this on Q&A
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Good news, for those who want to go back to HC. I like ICS alot and IMO way better all around than HC. If I were to revert back that would allow me to play Modern Combat 3 on the prime again though ;) lol don't like games that much to revert to older firmware, especially if the one I'm on now is working great for me.

You do know that we have a new firmware coming out later this week or early next week, right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] edster00:
Cool! Where did you hear/read this? Link if possible?

Thanks!

Edit: found it in another thread...hadn't read that one in awhile!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
Nice. I will have to check that out in few. After everyone else tries it though.:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cky2000:
I did this the other day and I was bored :D. I went from ICS 9.4.2.13 to HC 8.8.3.29. I tried all of them .11 to .7, .7 to .33 and so on (I told you I was bored). Also did the US to WW and back, it worked.

IMO: The best one for me and pretty good Wi-Fi is 9.4.2.11.1. The 9.4.2.13 firmware (for me) really weaken my Wi-Fi. 4 foot from the router and the singal was s***. All the firmwares before .13 were very good to me....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doddsie:
So many threads so little time to read them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] edster00:
Yeah, that thread was only 114 pages (when I posted I found the reference to new update coming)! ;)

Confirmed!..just downgraded too.
[Nexus S General] wizerd00:
Hey all,

I'm sorry if this is a rehash of somebody else's problem, but I did some searching and couldn't find anything that seemed applicable to my situation.

Running Nexus S with cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1, downloaded from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=crespo

I am also running the latest ClockworkMod Recovery, having just updated it today. I updated via the internal update function on ROM manager.

Everything is working find, except that no matter what I do, boot animations don't run, and I get a black screen instead. The only time I didn't have a black screen was the first bootup after installing cyanogenmod update from sdcard via clockwork. This showed the default bootanimation. I then attempted to install the Speedo II animation from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1053250

Immediately after, I only got a black screen on bootup. I tried flashing the bluehallway animation (also from same gallery). I then tried using SDK to push both animations to the phone at /system/media. Neither worked. I also tried to use ES file manager to swap out the bootanimation files in /system/media/ manually. Neither worked.

I then re installed CyanogenMod and repeated the steps listed above. Same result.

As far as I can tell, I have been undergoing the same procedure as when I changed my bootanimation to red rage (don't remember where I got it) On a previous version of CyanogenMod.

I have no idea what the problem is. Please help!
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
Sounds like it wasn't compressed properly

choose STORE in compress method when zipping back your animation sounds like they chose normal compression and this causes the desc and bootanimation not to work and all you get is blakcscreen

anyways try flashing mine

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1471708
[Nexus S General] wizerd00:
Welp, that works perfectly. Thanks a ton! So could you explain the whole compression thing you talked about?
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
when you compress the boot animation back up it will be on normal compression by default you don't want this. You have to select store
[Nexus S General] SwH.85:
if you're installing them in /system/media/ make sure to not have any bootanimation.zip in /data/local/ because that's where the system look up first

I wanted to share this... If you are rooted all of you who do not want ads on their KFs just install ADFREE from the android market... It is free as well! (Making it even better)!:cool:
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] krelvinaz:
Been using it since I rooted. Works good.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] NPC_Izzy:
works well but also blocks images from emails. Not really a problem for me as it saves bandwidth.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] AsakuraVN:
Works fine with normal ads, but it blocks more than just ads xD, like earning free game's currency by doing offers (zenonia 4)
[Kindle Fire General] Houndog101:
My KF has a hard time charging as the port has a loose fit on the charger adapter. I have to wiggle it just right for the charge indicator to come on. I'd like to remove the back so I can see why the charger plug does'nt fir right. Anyone have thier back off ? Thanks..:confused:
[Kindle Fire General] gadgetman13:
Nope. Sorry. Flashing a new ROM on it is one thing... but I find that when I take things apart and put them back together again I either have left over pieces or broken pieces. :p

I have seen a video of someone deconstructing the kindle fire with a seemingly universal tool for dealing with clips on youtube, you might want to search for it.

For what it's worth, my usb cable is loose while my power cable isn't. Not sure I like the micro-usb standard... seems a little flimsy.
[Kindle Fire General] Houndog101:
Flimsy, yes.. Thanks for your reply, sounds like me..LoL

[Kindle Fire General] podspi:
I know you probably don't want to hear this, but I'd send it back for and get it replaced. Taking off the back will almost definitely void your warranty, and unless you are REALLY good with a soldering iron, you probably won't be able to fix it.
[Kindle Fire General] 3EyedPhish:
I was having the same problem and thought it was the port but it's actually the cables. The prongs on the micro-USB cables that secure it in the port are rooted in the base of the plug. Bending the metal plug back to its original flat position will put the prongs in a more exposed position providing a more secure fit. Bending it past horizontal will expose them even more. I found that an up angle micro-USB cable fits in in an orientation that causes less stress on the plug and prevents this problem from reoccurring.
[Kindle Fire General] Houndog101:
You,Sir, are a genius ... thank you sooooo much,,:D
[Verizon Droid Charge] brex2040:
I have upgraded to the Moto Razr. So my Charge is now not active, but i am trying to unroot it. Oden will not reconize it. Is this because its not active or am i just not doing something right?
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
This has nothing to do with inactive. Make sureyour usb debug is checked and verify your driver on your PC is working. When your phone is inactive you can't do any setup on the phone, but you should able to Odin the factory image back to your phone.

[Motorola Droid 3] stud beefpile:
Hey there folks, this post may be more suitable to the development forum but I don't have access to that just yet so I figured I'd post here.

I'm using Hashcode's CM7 build with Safestrap, but I'm getting stuck at the CM7 bootscreen. Any tips on getting past this? I'd like to try it out.

From what I can tell using the search function, it seems to be booting fine for other people.
[Motorola Droid 3] atlantanetworkguy:
Go check out the CM9 dev thread, A7 just released. CM7 has been (understandably) left on the back burner for some time.
[Motorola Droid 3] stud beefpile:
Thanks for the tip, I had been waiting for the camera on CM9 before moving over - but it seems that day has come.

Also, for anyone else that was having this issue, it turned out that Bootstrap didn't uninstall or maybe I didn't wipe dalvik afterward, and it was conflicting with Safestrap. After I fixed that issue CM7 booted fine, but like atlantanetworkguy said, go ahead to CM9 :)

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] InventiousTech:
Hi, I have a Galaxy Player 4.0 that I rooted with SuperOneClick. It was working fine at first then a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that my PC no longer recognizes it as a device, it just charges when I plug it in. So, I looked around andn tried a few things:

Restarted it several times

Tried with all the different modes in USB settings

Tried with different cable

Tried with two other computers, a Mac Mini and a Win7 laptop

Tried to unroot, couldn't get that to work

Did a factory data reset

Nothing works. I can't remember anything I did since rooting that would cause this, except I installed the Samsung Kies driver on the PC. I can't remember if the USB mass storage was working after Kies. Does anyone have other ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] InventiousTech:
Bump. This is rather a big deal, as I cannot transfer files between my PC and Galaxy player in any way other than over WiFi, which does not work reliably. I don't have a microSD card adapter either.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Ben456:
You might want to check if anything related to samsung/android appears in the device manager. Alternatively, to use heimdall I use Zadig to switch from samsung's driver to libusb but it does show you everything connected to your computer via usb when you check the option to list all devices. You should try this with and without usb debuging enabled. If nothing shows up you know it id your player that is at fault.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] InventiousTech:
Thanks,

The first time I plugged it in without USB debugging enabled nothing showed up, when I enabled USB debugging, in Zadig and Device manager there showed up an unknown device, trying to update driver in Device manager showed that it already had the best driver, and in zadig driver replacement failed. Now, when I plug it in, either with or without USB debugging enabled, nothing shows up anywhere. I have tried with other computers and other cables, and nothing works, so I am pretty sure it's the player. I am willing to to a complete factory system reset, but I don't know how.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] simon.:
I'm having the same problem with my rooted 5.0. Although it's not a huge problem for me (I use dropbox for file syncing) I would love to sort this out, let me know if your factory reset works!

You can find it in the Privacy section of the settings menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Ben456:
I suspect you have a faulty usb connector on your device, but it doesn't hurt to do a factory reset. But you might want to backup your data first ;) Did you try to jerk the usb cable in your player? A loose/broken connector would explain all your problems. Even if it is a software problem, I can't see how to flash your device with the original firmware since you don't have a sdcard & usb doesn't work...

Btw, I was referring to zadig only to show the devices attached to your computer, not to change the driver!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] InventiousTech:
Thanks, I only tried to change the driver because it showed no driver already installed. I have a bit of electronics background so I may crack it open and take a look at the connector. I already tried the factory reset in the privacy menu, but that only wipes data apparently, not the system. I do have an sd card, I just don't have an adapter to the PC.

EDIT: After wiggling the cable around a bit, it showed the USB icon in the status bar, so I clicked connect USB mass storage, but the computer still showed a badly installed driver and then after some more wiggling the icon disappeared, so I am pretty sure it's a problem with the connector. BTW, how would I flash the stock firmware to unroot?

Setting up a S-OFF donation thread to see who wants to donate and how much, might trigger there interest.

This is been seen on many dev treads, and can run up to few hundrerd euros
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:

[HTC Sensation XL] DutchDanny:
Guide them to the thread, and money will only be deliverd when s-off is deleverd :D

LGTOOL new update

HTC Sensation XL, Runnymede, X315e - all World's first!

- Direct Unlock

- Repair IMEI

- Repair CID

- Repair Security (S-OFF / S-ON)

- Read/Write NVM
[HTC Sensation XL] Dfolt:
Why i think, u trollin us ?
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
Its true!

Added direct unlock support HTC smartphones, includes Sensation XL & One V - both first in the world & no special cables required!

SGtool updated to v. 1.04: added support for dozen Samsung phones!

FREE unlock by IMEI/MEID/ESN/MSN/SN for LG, Alcatel, ZTE, HTC, BlackBerry, SE, Motorola and Huawei phones are still free.

New for LGTOOL direct services:HTC Sensation XL, Runnymede, X315e - all World's first! - by using standard MicroUSB cable! - Direct Unlock - Repair IMEI - Repair CID - Repair Security (S-OFF / S-ON) - Read/Write NVM

But i dont think this tool can acheive S-Off. It says repair security not unlock security :confused:

http://www.lgtool.net/index.php
[HTC Sensation XL] -=AsteriX=-:
is it fully software, or special equipment needed?
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
It's made by the same people as SETool. So you need a SETool activation card. I have sent a PM to jinx13, he is a sony bootloader unlocker here on XDA, he offers a remote bootloader unlock service. I asked him if he can use this tool to offer the same remote service to get S-Off.
[HTC Sensation XL] nader1450:
i can not run setool ... have error

if you can s-off htc xl with setool

plz help
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
this is promising but as far as getting s-off from this i will remain on the fence. s-off on these devices released without sdcard slots is proving quite a daunting task but i will hold off tioll something more official is announced. this tool may come in handy once we know more and we have more user experiences.
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
Just an update guys. Jinx13 PM'd me back, he said he has heard of LGTool and has the activation, he is going to look into if he can use it to gain us S-Off and get back to me :)
[HTC Sensation XL] sJet:
declared functions are working, here's the proof.
[HTC Sensation XL] -=AsteriX=-:
what is needed for s-off?
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
Awesome news :D
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
Unless jinx will help us, we need a card reader, a SETool activation card and SETool credits :confused:
[HTC Sensation XL] sJet:
You need only card reader with SETool card, and activation for LGtool. No credits needed
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
So we can S-Off for free aswell? :D
[HTC Sensation XL] nader1450:
hi

please explain more about s-off htc xl

Guys stop spamming the thread, as soon as anyone has more info it will be posted here. Hopefully, within the next day or 2, me and jinx will attempt a remote unlock If it works I will post details on how you guys can get S-Off.

This will be a paid method though.
[HTC Sensation XL] nader1450:
Thanks

i'm waiting

[HTC Sensation XL] alfchin:
maybe we can use vmware to make it work?

usb share works on the host and let the guest get access to the host's usb.
[HTC Sensation XL] chrisme14:
This sounds promising
[HTC Sensation XL] hannemaster:
hmm...

I don't think remote usb and stuff is the direction we need to go.

I think we need to find out what kind of commands is the LGtool sending. And what kinda files are pushed to the phone for example in this directory:

/data/local/tmp/lgtool.root

is logcat an option? only used it once in my life...

there must be a file somewhere which we can cr@ck open...
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
we are still trying ways to get unlock over a network working. as i write this. As it stands it looks like it's not going to. That was the next point. We need to find out what exploit LGTool is using, and try and build our own tool.
[HTC Sensation XL] Alex-V:
great...thx for all that works on this.. :)
[HTC Sensation XL] alfchin:
it seems LGTool hide its expoit code on its server.

You send your code of your device to the server,and the server returns a expoit which works on this device only
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
It looks like unlock over network is not going to work. We just cant get past "exploit has problems" issue. If SETool thinks this is going to force us all to go out and spend $115 on a SETool box and card, they have another thing comming.
[HTC Sensation XL] booyaga:
ok, now there is a gameplan, so il Update This post later.

And now we just need to figure out if anything needs to be bought, and if so get a Dev on it and establish a donation thread so we can "split the cost"
[HTC Sensation XL] booyaga:
If donation is needed, i vote that donators get Access to exploit some time ahead of the rest
[HTC Sensation XL] jMurr:
Is here anyone who can tell that LGETool is working for 100%?

I've heard that it doesn't realy work!
[HTC Sensation XL] dohaa32:
tested with lgetool 100% working, CID change and S-off
[HTC Sensation XL] nicky1980:
how do you did it with this lg-tool

i get always stuk evrytime i startup the lg-tool
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
You need a SETool box and a SETool card with LGTool activation.
[HTC Sensation XL] claudenegm:
I found this, I'm not sure if what you're saying is right :D I can't confim though, cause I didn't try it ;)

"Please note when you are buying SEtool card you are buying Sonyericsson module ONLY! LGtool Module ( for Servicing HTC, LG, Samsung, Motorola, ZTE, Huawei, Sky phones) is FREE and added only for limited period & for testing purpose."

I didn't have the opportunity to test the application on my PC yet, but I don't like the idea of sending my IMEI and serial number to the server.

Why would they use your IMEI anyway? I don't think it's needed to unlock a bootloader or even to exploit security flags!
[HTC Sensation XL] Jinx13:
You cannot run lgtool without setool smartcard ;)

[HTC Sensation XL] paul.robo:
Hi, Guys im a programmer and i use exploits and write scrips all the time. ive been looking into the revolutionary exploit latley, it seems to me that with the right amount of time and with enough heads on this. S-off for sensation XL CAN be done. the exploit from the sensation can be modded abit and this WILL work for your device. i am going to speak with the revolutionary team and see if i can put my own input into this. i think if they acctually let me give them my modded exploit and let them test it then it will work. they might want to mod it to their liking but this is a well thought out idea. i am from the desire s forum. im not a sensation XL developer. BUT i got hold of a blocked sensation XL and used it for my exploit. and it didnt work at first but i got it to the point where in the hboot menu it stated s-off but after reboot it was lost. i dont know if the revo team have come accross this before but it really frustrated me because i got so close. if the team accept my exploit im hoping this will go forward. i will let you know when i have spoken to them and ill give you guys an update on how things are progressing as time goes on :) take care guys . 1 other thing. please remember ( DONT donate untill this is official or it is released to the public by revo team. ) have a good evening

[HTC Sensation XL] seaskyways:
Paul.Robo reached the S-off point using his version of the revolutionary explot , but these guys won't give him permission to distribute it or even give them the exploit so that they take the credits ! All they want is greed i guess ... But i have an idea , why won't you guys study how that exploit works , then modify it to your flavour ??
