[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nuprotocol:
Thanks! Glad you posted this. I'm sure me and many others were thinking of jumping ship to the Prime. However, I have not heard many good things about it. This post really concrete's my decision on keeping the Tab.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] thomslik:
I also gave up on the Prime. I'm trying to decide whether to go with a gtab 10.1 or wait a few weeks for the newer versions coming out.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Blairware:
Thats a shame

Sorry to see you gave up. I have posted more than once that I am "Mostly Happy" with the Prime, having come from a TF101 (That required 2 exchanges to get right, but only cosmetic defects. The Prime has become a tremendously pollarizing device, more than any in recent memory, possibly on par with the iPhone itself. There are people that will plain not hear ANY critisizm of it. Granted there has been a huge amount of whining and moaning, and not enough constructive looking at the issues.

As it has been observed, both camps have a point, and should be able to post about it as much as they please, though creating redundant threads is an annoyance no matter what the subject.

Personally, I am only bothered by 2 kinds of posts: The "Prime is a POS and Asus should be forced to buy everyone a new device" and the "The Prime is the king of all human endeavors, easily surpassing the Apollo Mission, The space shuttle, and the seven wonders. If you want to say anything negative about it I stick my fingers in my ears; lalalalala I can't HEAR YOU. Lalalalalala"

Both kinds of extremism are so tedious. The Prime is an incredibly CAPABLE device with huge POTENTIAL. It has a somewhat higher amount of teething pains, but Asus is one of the more responsive companies, witnessed by Gary's presence and the regular releasing of updates. Notice I didn't say SUCCESSFUL updates. But give credit where it's due, they are tryng like hell.

Where they get a major fail in my book is how slow, and painful RMA process is. Asus should be making a much geater effort to fix or replace the defective units, at whatever cost. Especially if they feel that they have gotten the bugs out of manufacturing. Hmmm. I wonder if they are there yet. If not, I hopr they pull it off, and get consistent, defect free Primes rolling out VERY SOON. This seems to be a tipping point for the devices ultimate failure or success. We may even have passed the point, as a lot of damage has been done in the media. When you are at the top, everyone wants to knock you off. Give them ammunition and it's that much harder to maintain.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Benzoman:
My wife went to buy me a prime about a week ago and the tech guy told her they were expected to be totally recalled in the next week. She bought me a tab instead and I love it. When you live an hour away from where you buy something having to exchange it even once is a big PITA.

I got rom manager and im trying to do a nan droid back up and when i select back up current rom my phone just restarts? Anyone got any ideas?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
don't think no our phone supports from manager technically its supposed to take you to cwm and you navqgate to backup/restore so I think you have to do that in safe strap or what ever its called
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Andlamv:
Oh, i wish i can back up my current state of my phone. Is there a way i can get more onfo on this?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
you are rooted with boot strap installed correct??
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Andlamv:
rooted no bootstrap
[Motorola Droid Bionic] unbesorgt:
You have to install either Bootstrap or Safestrap to make nandroid backups with this phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Andlamv:
which is better safestrap or bootstrap is there a difference?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] unbesorgt:
Bootstrap is simpler but has less features. Personally it's the one I use, as it seems to do the job fine when running stock as I do. If you plan to install a lot of different ROMs, such as the ICS alpha, then you might be better off using Safestrap. It basically creates two system images, one stock and the other a custom ROM. The idea is that if you go into a bootloop with one system, you can switch to the other one instead of being stuck. There are some drawbacks -- I have heard it uses some RAM and slightly degrades performance. Also, Webtop works on one system but not the other.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Travisdroidx2:
I have always used bootstrap and never had any issues.

---------- Post added at 05:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 AM ----------

I have never used safestrap I am sure it works great. But since I am new to bionic if you bootloop can't you pull battery boot up in android recovery and wipe data and cache? Works everytime on droidx2.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
If you want to play with other roms while having a main rom that you use daily, go with safe strap. If your going to stick to one rom, either one will work. You can flash and backup with each one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CuppaCoffee8:
I updated to 4.0.4 last weekend with the leak. I now want to flash GummyNex to my Nexus. Must I flash back to 4.0.2 before I load GummyNex or any other custom ROM? Or can I just flash the custom ROM on top of the 4.0.4 update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
No just wipe data, dalvik, cache and flash the ROM you want to flash with gapps (if required) and kernel (if you desire to)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CuppaCoffee8:
Thanks! I appreciate it. I've never flashed a custom ROM...just the unofficial OTA's. The kernel is a totally separate file correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heo_con184:
Yes, you can flash kernel after flashing the custom rom, but keep in mind that some kernels only work for a specified build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Yes kernel is a separate file. Some ROMs will include a kernel with their ROM (mostly stock kernel but it could be different).

So if you flash a ROM (or a update), flash the kernel update again because flashing the ROM zip will override your kernel.

Press the thanks button if I helped, thanks :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ronwi2:
I managed to screw some things up a bit on my phone such that it wasn't booting. So I restored using CWM to a November 2011 backup.

After restoring from backup, using ODIN I flashed back to stock.

Now, when the phone tries to update from EG30 to EK02 the upgrade successfully goes through all the steps, but hangs up at the "Updating modem" phase. This is what I get (I changed yellow type to green because the yellow is too hard to read):

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

Installing update...

Verifying current system...

Updating modem...

script aborted (no error message)E:Error in /cache/182a027df63.SPH-D710_update_EG30_to_EK02.zip (Status 7)

Installation aborted.

I get a similar result (slightly different file reference in red) if I try to do the update manually.

Since it's hanging at the modem phase, I'm wondering if somehow the modem was updated earlier (I had updated to the latest February release before restoring) in such a way that it now causes the update to hang.

Any ideas or suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gr33nd3vil:
Why not download the el29 odin file for the rom an modem an start fresh by odin both
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Are you sure you still have the EG30 modem? CWM backups don't include the modem so they wouldn't get restored. This coupled with the EG30 -> EK02 OTA update having a "patch" modem update from EG30 to EK02, means your existing modem must be EG30 or the modem patch will fail.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ronwi2:
No, I assume I don't still have the EG30 modem (driver or whatever it is called, obviously the physical modem is the same.)

Is there anyway to downgrade the modem back to EG30 so the updates can run?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
Do what gr33nd3vil said, just flash a full EL29 tar with odin and be done with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Just pick whichever version you want to be on and use the appropriate ODIN One-Click thread in my signature.

You can also flash the EG30 modem, but you need to be using a kernel+CWM that is EK02 or newer because the older kernels are unable to flash full modems, only patch modems. If you'd like to go this path, use the Auto Root sticky in dev (or in my sig) and root your phone (using Option A), then install EK02+CWM (using Option C). Then download the EG30 CWM MDM link and use CWM to flash it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ronwi2:
I used your 1-Click - scarily efficient. Didn't even have to fire up my copy of Odin, yow!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horndroid:
I recently got my TF and I am still not quite clear on this.

What I know is that:

ADB mode is a part of Android SDK and is enabled without booting TF in a special way. It allows you to run shell commands from command prompt.

APX mode is enabled by turning on TF while holding down volume +. It allows you to use NVFlash.

Now my question is

Can ADB mode do what is possible with APX mode or vice versa? What exactly are the limitations and differences of each mode?

What else can I do in APX mode other than running NVFlash?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luna_c666:
ADB = android debugging bridge, while the device is powered on.

APX mode is pre-bootload mode, where you can flash the entire system. ADB you cannot flash the system, you can push and pull files and have some control of the functions of the OS but cannot use it to unbrick your device like APX mode via NVFlash.

ADB mode has nothing to do with NVFlash.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
Most other android devices i know of you can plug em in with a USB cable and it shows up on the computer like a USB memory stick. Thus far with every setting i try the prime shows up as like a camera or MTP device or whatever, makes it a pain to transfer files and it blocks some system files.

Am i missing something here or is there a way to make the prime just show up as a USB memory stick on my computer?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pslotter:
Have you installed the USB driver from ASUS?

http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=Eee+Pad+Transformer+Prime+TF201&p=20&s=16

Mine shows up as an MTP device but also shows the drives and they are drag and drop accesible.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
Using ICS on my Cappy right now and it would be a shame to not have this for the note.

Is it scheduled or just rumored?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
Scheduled. But no specific release date. People have been saying March / April.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] I Am Marino:
The Note should definitely be getting ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
Okay cool thanks guys!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Willanhanyard:
I believe Samsung said in Q1, and a rumor just surfaced that it would be March 1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ARTAQaf:
Murphy is a cousin of mine so i say AT&T will update to ICS 2-4 months after Int'l ppl get it from Samsung.

i <3 you Murph!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pt409:
That's the worst part of this. My Cappy has been amazing with ICS. I'm almost tempted to keep it until the Note get ICS also.

Too bad the hardware is different for the ATT note (from International version), we don't have LTE in Seattle, but I dislike the physical button on the IV.

Oh well, here's hoping ATT doesn't run the same route as the Captivate (Froyo forever sucked, then Gingerbread last week or so! It was great to have ports of gingerbread well before ATT)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vizographic:
OP, if ics came to the g-note a week after tomorrow it wouldn't be soon enough.

The captivate is freaking unbelievable running it. I to am enjoying it ...almost... enough to put off buying a new one. The cappy is a completely new phone...rom it on the g-note and it will -scream .... on ice cream. (sorry I couldn't help that last part)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
The problem is that the hardware is holding it back.

And now that we'll have Notes, we can use ICS to it's full potential
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RicFusion:
Any new news?

Has anyone heard anything else about this. I check the ota update on my note regularly, but haven't seen anything yet :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
We may learn something at the Samsung event on March 15th... or maybe not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
You're better off searching online for stuff about release dates than keeping on checking the ota update on your phone. Google tells all. We will learn about a release date online well before it being available through your ota.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
ICS on AT&T Note is unlikely in first half of 2012. End of 2012, maybe. 2013? More likely.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryanscool:
It probably will not be ota.... There will probably be bootloaders if the notes ever get ics.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] p51d007:
With my history on updates for at&t devices....if it EVER comes, count yourself

lucky. AT&T, except for the iPhones, delays, delays, delays updates.

I've had two non branded phones, and always get updates MONTHS before at&t updates.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
Source? If that's just a guess, please say so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
After dealing with samsungs BS with the Vibrant, I don't believe a single word, promise, hint, or hope that they announce until I see ICS on my device. I love Samsungs hardware, but I have lost faith in the company itself long ago when dealing with my vibrant and our 10% out of the box fail rate with Sync Master monitors.

On a plus side, my vibrant runs ICS beautifully so I'm sure it will be even better on the Note once a few good ROMS are released and the bugs are worked out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
It's called common sense if you ever dealed with Samsung devices on AT&T in the past. Anything else is just naive thinking, or fantacy.

For the record, AT&T (not Samsung) is the one determines when an update will be available. And AT&T almost never give out release dates. In rare cases it did so (Captivate and Infuse GB updates are said to be available in fall 2011), they screwed it (both release in 2012).

So, any posting about release schudle is pure guess.

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

+1. If it comes in OTA, wait a few days. OTA update with bootloader change almost always bricks a few phones everytime Samsung tries it. Most recent is the GS2 Skyrocket 2.3.6 OTA last month.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
We have to go through the phases of an over due update. We havn't even seen the numerous "i know someone who can say with certainty that..." or "my brothers cousins sisters poodles hairdresser brother works on the dev teams and said..." or my personal favorite "i know someone inside the company who says". Then there is the phase of dispair where people say they will never buy sammy again and will be selling this POS and so on. Check out the captivate and vibrant forums and you'll see lots. In the vibrants case, it was Samsungs fault for dragging their feet, not T-Mo as they hadnt received the software to bloatware onto when waiting for Froyo! Sit and wait and watch current ROM scene if you really want ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
That's the common mis-conception. Carrier bloatware is baked into the ROM by Samsung per carrier request.

Here is how a firmware update process goes:

1. The carrier in question must feel the need for an firmware update. It's a big deal because it has to allocate resources for extensive testing, training of CSR and actual releasing.

2. The carrier makes a request for new firmware to Samsung.

3. Samsung builds the new firmware based on carrier's request and send to carrier for testing.

4. The carrier test extensively of the new build. If there are significant problems found, it goes back to step 3.

5. After extensive testing, carrier OKs the new firmware but need to pick a release date. Most importantly it has make sure it won't jeopardize the sales of new phones.

6. Once received OK from carrier, Samsung can put out the new firmware.

I'm not sure we are even past step 1 yet.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mithsir:
Hi,

I have installed team eos 1.0.0 on my Xoom mz604. All runs fine, but I ran into one issue. When downloading a large (~2gb) file from my upnp server (using BubbleUPNP or SoftMediaPlayer), the device crashes after a couple of minutes and goes into the boot animation. Here, it stays until I reboot via vol up + pwr.

I have not overclocked the xoom, everything is "stock" eos 1.0.0.

What canI do to debug this?

Regards

Jonas
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nec_d:
I download 4-5gb matroskas and no crash so far. Try another upnp client or file manager hd.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mithsir:
Ok, good to know that it's not the file size per se. However I did try two different upnp clients so far and both give this forced reboot. I would expect that an app can only do a force close...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mithsir:
Well, downloading large files via an smb file browser works. Still, I dont think an app should be able to send the xoom into reset...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spottedtadpole:
I installed the Hacker's Keyboard as shown in a post on this site and it worked fine, but I got greedy and tried to upgrade it in the same way that I did the initial install. The problem was that when I tried to download the apk file from Android Market, it did not simply download and was installed. Now I can't get any keyboard at all.

I am still trying to fix this but I suspect it will be necessary to reinstall Android on my tablet.

Don't get greedy like me :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Just wipe data and dalvik cache, backup your apps with titanium backup

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
So, at this point you cannot get a keyboard to come up? Can you get into a file explorer? If so, check and see if the original apk is still in /system/app (I'm assuming that is where you moved it). If so, a reboot should fix it, but if not, try checking permissions and reinstalling it (tap on the apk in your file explorer).

If it is not there, is it somewhere (perhaps on your SD card) where you can access it to move it back to /system/app?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spottedtadpole:
I cleared the cache as recommended in the first reply to this thread and now I have the original keyboard. Both keyboards now work.

thanks

Veronica to the rescue again. My hero! You need a proper avatar pix, something with a cape. My husband thanks you for fixing my NT.
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
Ok, I looked around and cannot find an answer that works for me for this issue. I am wondering if it has to do with my phone having S-Off? I am most likely wrong, but i have to know whats going on. No matter what I try, I cannot get My Rezound to go from GB to ICS, ANY ICS BASED ROM for that matter. I checked MD5, Tried with battery door both removed and attached, with or without the SIM card inserted into the phone. The phone boots up almost 100%. I get a message saying "Updating Android" and it says its updating or doing something to 160 apps, the system then reboots, when it gets past the 4G screen again, It says that the boot was completed, I have no signal, i checked on the service type and its correct, tried a factory reset, and still nothing, the system just continues to boot loop over and over again, and when it boots up i cannot get past the Activation screen where it says that the phone is trying to contact Verizon to Auto Activate. I can go back to GB easily, and that works %100. Any and all information would be useful, Only reason why i think this might have to do with S-Off is because my first Rezound was S-On and worked just fine going to ICS, while this new one has S-Off and is just not cutting it.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
If you have s-off the rom image could contain a radio update. That could be getting you...also data is off by default in some ICS ROMs.
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
so what would be recommended in this type of situation? I know its not the data being off thats causing the issue, because when i boot up i dont have a signal at all, and the lock screen instead of showing VZW banner it says No Signal. Would the Radio being an issue also cause boot loop issues?
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
Did you put the battery cover on the phone ?

Edit saw that u did sorry ...

Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
[HTC Rezound] who MIKE D:
Only thing i can think of is that the ICS rom you flashed has data off automatically, and requires you to keep pressing the home button until it passes the activation screen.

Also make sure your battery cover is on like yojoe600 said, your antenna is connected to the cover and without it you will have no signal.
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
this is just sooooooooo irritating. all that i have tried, this is kinda depressing. One interesting thing that i did come across though. When i flashed the BAMF GB, and tried to go from rom to rom to rom, i didnt get any MainVer error.... Dont know if thats just because S-Off allows you to go from one to another freely, or if its just not taking these updates.....
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
S-off has no mainvar issues. Try putting the gb radio into a PB zip or whatever the resound uses and flash that and boot to see of you get data then
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
hey guys, its not just data, the phone is bootlooping on him.

I know several people have s-off devices. You might try looking over on rootzwiki as well. Maybe a dev with s-off can help.
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
I am one of those people with an s-off and I have had no issues with it but I also updated to the ICS radio AMD have no issues so I'm not totally sure what not working with yours
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
Not sure what is going on with mine that is making it so different. This is just frustrating, last thing that im going to try is going to be flashing th kernel through adb, know that whould not matter too much, but i'll give it a shot, not like it would hurt at all.
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
Ok , so i tried this, and as i thought not much happened, more of the same. No real help at Rootz either sadly. I need to find me an S-Off Dev.... lol

On a side note, how would one go about flashing a different recovery.img on an S-Off device, do i have to adb it, or can i do it on the fly? If so, how?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Last thought...did you try the bootloop fix? ##whatever after booting without the battery covery etc...?? There' s a full thread on it.
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
yeah was about to give that a go, but the system seems to shut down before i get to the phone portion. I'm having to use the Emergency Call option to get to the dialer since the phone sits on the Self Activation Page.
[HTC Rezound] angryPirate12:
Before anyone can help you fully and properly, more information needed!

What ROM are you trying to install?
