[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ZirbMonkey:
The "update.zip" is for the original method, where there was a file with that name in the base directory of the flashed card. I believe this is/was the second option on the rooting menu.

But the new (4.5) method uses a different zip file, so you have to "update from a .zip" (first menu option?) and select the zip that shows up at the bottom of the next menu. Sorry, but I'm working from memory as I reset my memory card after I flash it to get full use of it back again.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kyleknapp:
It's still not working for me - Like prsa01, I found no such "update.zip" file, so I tried "CWM_SD_flash_and_exe.zip" (the only "zip" file on the SDcard).

It starts to install, then aborts:

Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.

what am I doing wrong?

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------

I couldn't get this method to work (is it because I didn't enable debugging first? Enabling debuggin is not mentioned in the instructions. CWM loads, but I get an "Installing update... Installation aborted." message - see prev post)

This method says you have to enable USB debugging first, but the instructions for doing so don't work for me. You're supposed to download and install an apk, then click "settings" when you see the "install blocked" message - trouble is, my installs are NOT blocked - not since the first time I sideloaded an app. Is there another way to get to the hidden settings menu? or do I need to do a factory reset and start over?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sgschwend:
KyleK...

Perhaps you have this taken care of this issue by now. I just rooted my Nook and used the Hidden Settings apk I think you are referring too. I see that others on the forum have reference the Play Store as the source for the apk.

here is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brianf21.nthiddensettings&hl=en

Once installed you can use your file manager to locate the app. Going into settings/development where you find the selectable states for USB debugging (on) and Auto Mount (off).

There are notes in the forum about keeping track of these settings to make sure they stay set. I noticed before I rooted the setting would change on every re-start.

In my case I use ES explorer to look at my files. I launch it from the search tab, the Hidden Settings app icon is sitting on my home directory. Every time I use this application it says it will re-install and retain all previous data. You may find that a bit odd.

Hi, on my GN 4.0.2 I have selected a mp3 as my ringtone. The strange thing is that after playing the "song" once, it stops ringing. On my old SGSII the same mp3 file was looping until call was answered. Anyone experiencing the same, or have a solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] str355:
You need to convert the .mp3 to a .ogg and add the field "ANDROID_LOOP=True" there is a thread on here somewhere about it.

No idea why mp3's dont loop on this phone

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] anjosam:
I've just install Android on my HTC HD2 in NAND way. My question is:

Can we format or erase everything on the SD card after or do we have to keep the files created?

I'm not sure but I'm betting the idea that NAND or SD Android installation are the same thing, both are using files created after an installation from a SD card.

Is there and difference?

Thank you

I hope someone can help!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Admeisterz:
IF you installed it on nand why would you need to keep anything. Android does have data on the sd card but erase it and itll just create it again... Folders for instance like .android... But if you want to erase sd by all means do... Just remember backup if youre ever not sure!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
If you mean the ROM zip then sure you can, but there isn't any point deleting the folders the system has created. Also, make sure not to format and delete the partition. :)

Is clockwork recovery necessary for all roms or can i download a recovery to my phone?
[Motorola Triumph] marc12868:
Well if you could make a recovery based off of something else that had ext. 4 support then you could probably use that. Just the fact that there is already CWM for the MT already makes it easier. If you meant does it need to be installed then yes, you need it installed to flash different roms.
[Motorola Triumph] cell2011:
Can CWM be flashed through Rom Mgr? I tried bootloader and mobile and image and recovery img and i think i put in wrong folder. Everytime i try to get back into bootloader with pwr button and vol dwn. It goes right to M screen. How can i fix this?
[Motorola Triumph] cell2011:
Ok i get to download mode now where do i put the extracted recovery folder in image? Do i place with recovery img or down at the bottom?. When i take battery out and put back. I pwr and simitaneously vol buttons. I get the triangle !. What am i doing wrong. Oh and im on ver 2.2.2
[Motorola Triumph] jaaydogg:
It's real easy all you need to do is Volume down then power sometimes it's a pain in the ass but keep repeating the steps until you see white writing on the screen, then plug it into your PC, it should bring up a drive called mobile there will be a folder open the folder & replace only the recovery image then reboot. Should be all good. Then press volume up & down & power should boot into clockwork.
[Motorola Triumph] jakson0100:
Did u install CM7 first?
[Motorola Triumph] OverByter:
You can't install CM7 or any other rom "first" using stock recovery. As far as I have seen CWM is the only alternative to the stock recovery.

The tools look cheap, I think.

So I'm still not sure to order there. And 40€ is a lot of money for me, because I'm still on-the-job training. If loosing the money wouldn't hurt so much, I wouldt definitely give them a try.

Granted, the 3$ toolkit for Samsung devices I bought there looks equally cheap. But it still accomplishes the job more than is needed.

Also, keep in mind that such toolkits are most often made by device manufacturers themselves, parts4repair.com has nothing to do with this whatsoever (save that they're reselling them for a -small- profit, obviously :D).

Got scammed

Ordered a housing assembly for htc desire hd and three batteries. The cover assembly had two parts which were used and had worn out contact surfaces. The batteries run out of life really fast (as fast a 2 year old battery and some even faster), they have been marked as e.g. "LQ" and using a battery tester app they give results varying between 800-1100mah for the dhd battery that should be 1230mah.

They've answered to emails with varying delay of 4-7 days, but to my latest email i haven't gotten a reply, when i asked them to send me instructions to return the package. They seem to be purposely delaying the case by asking silly questions i've already given them an aswer to. It's been almost a month and a half since my first email to them.

Going to report them to my credit card company so they will take it from here.

review parts4repair.com

I bought a full housing form Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 and 2 cover camera lens on 4/11/2013.

Products are handed over to carrier on 7/11/2013 (SingaporePosts...very good assistance and fast answer: vote 5 stars!!!) and it shipped on 12/11/2013 by naval ship (very bad!!!).

Shipping arrives in Italy (to Milan) on 04/12/2013 ( 1 month) but the product is been blocked to Italian mail customs up to 21/12/2013 for controls because it was declared as "fashion accessory" for a value of €1.

I was almost certain that the product would be blocked, but unexpectedly, it is unlocked on 12/27/2013 and delivered today 23/12/013.

With much surprise I enjoyed an excellent packaging and protection product.

Overall I'm pretty pleased with parts4repair.com even if I wrote them all history and I said them that I don't buy no more from them just because delivery times are too long.

I would add that every time I contacted parts4repair for a problem about shipment, they answered me immediately, in 24 hours to my email

Be warned!!!!

Before ordering a replacement screen for my TF700 I checked for positive or negative experiences with Parts4Repair.com here on XDA. Only found this thread and decided to try it.

I ordered a V02 of the screen for $ 97,90 including shipping on 24/08/13 and received an incompatible version V01 on 10/09/13. After sending an email the same day I received an email asking me to return the screen back to them. (needed to return it to China for $ 13,- without tracking, which I found expensive enough). Four days later I receive an automatically generated email where they state that the purchase is refunded through PayPal.

On 25/10/13 they confirm reception of the screen and confirm (again) to refund (as they didn't have the V02 screen!).

As of yet (08/01/14) I haven't received a refund.

So Parts4Repair.com first sends a wrong item, then doesn't have the ordered item at all, confirms twice to refund and in the end doesn't do anything.

PayPal wasn't any help either because they requested a tracking number, after I had already send it back and they refuse to look at the emails confirming the return of the screen.
[General Questions and Answers] ccsnet:
Just to add my voice. Ordered a chip for my sammy October / November... One month - nothing... started chasing and they said it had been sent... oddly the tracking date it was sent was when I complained.... Too late to place a Paypal complaint in.

Any way - eventually got it on the phone and found it was DOA - was sold tested. Not only that the the BGA balls where not great.

I've had the chip pulled off again and now have an RMA ( although no postal address Ahhhhh ) so dependant on postage I'll send it back.

What worries me is if I send it will I actually get a refund or fobbed off ? I wasnt cheap but for piece of mind I may just....

Over all...

Comms 2/10

Speed 1/10

Quality of Product 1/10

The 18th of June I ordered 2 new glass for my Samsung galaxy tab pro 8.4 and payed $70 for the glass and $40 for DHL shipping I got my packaged the 23rd of June so fast delivery.

But what I got was not what I ordered so I mailed them they denied first that they had done anything wrong, so I took some pictures of the wrong glass laying beside the right one, then they admitted they sent wrong item, and now the hell started.

I wanted them to send the right items, and then I could maybe send the wrong ones back after all it was only $70 in sell value,

they denied that said I had to send back first and when they got the items they should send me my ordered items.

I gave in and sent their items back for $26 it took about a month for them to get the items, now when they shall send me my items they say they only have white ones,

I ordered 1 black and 1 white, I said it was OK to send 2 white instead and I asked how they would refund me the shipping cost I had when returning their items, then they say that if I want refund they will send the items with snail post.

Now I starting to get really pissed :mad: what was started as something I thought was cheap, ended up quite expensive and I have still not seen what I ordered.

SO ALL I CAN SAY, STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.

Parts4repair Liers

Hi guys,

I bought an LCD replacement for my Lumia 1520. The date of the order was on the 9th of december and i received it on the 2nd of January (living in Belgium).

On their site the item was described as new :

[IMG="Parts4repair Liers"]http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.com/3/1/3/7/8/6/8/Part4repair_Lies.jpg?key=LyCpf4F7ctcIX67z9N4U8g&ts=1422448750[/IMG]

But unfortunately I received a refurbished item poorly repaired. The first thing I noticed was the LCD leaking light on the side of the bezel. Next thing is a ghost shadow on the screen and finally the touch digitizer sometimes not recognizing the input.

After a week of usage the screen started unsticking from the bezel :eek: :

They are not willing to refund me or to pay the postal fees to send it back.

They are selling refurbished as new. (also the with an HTC8x bezel that I ordered as new but was refurbished.)

I suggest you DONT BUY from them. They are not reliable.

Avoid this shop.

I bought this Brand New LG G2 Complete Screen Ressembly from parts4repair.com ands it has a dead horizontal area on the touch screen. They asked me to disassemble the screen, keep the rest of the parts somewhere like it's a bunch of screws and stay for a month without a phone just to send it back to china for testing. The screen was supposed to be original g2 screen (50$). The fact that we pay in advance and get faulty products but they can't send us new ones in advance and then take back the faulty for testing or whatever they want to do with them is very disappointing. No respect for costumers. Avoid this online shop.

They also asked me for a video which of course I uploaded to youtube :P

Should have read this first

I guess I should have researched more first.

I'd bought parts of them before and everything was ok. I think if you're buying standardised stuff like batteries, flex cables etc. you'll be ok.

It's buying anything that involves assembly or repair that you will get stung on.

I bought 2 Z3 frames and LCDs. The frames were missing the antenna and ground contacts, had crappy buttons and the LCDs were lifting off the frame as they hadn't been glued properly.

Don't buy any LCDs or partially assembled parts off them.

I have bought hundreds of parts for phones from various sellers and haven't found a single one that's any good. If anyone finds one please let me know.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesrt:
That kind of depends on what you're looking for in a phone. I have a Galaxy S, and I'm very happy with it. However, it's now been replaced by the "Galaxy SII", which is probably considered "nicer" by most people (slightly better screen, faster dual-core CPU, etc, etc). The SII will be more expensive, so that may be a factor for you.

If you want a phone that just works, can play .mp3 files and games, and has good screen and memory as standard, then the Galaxy S will do all that and more.

Yes; very easy to root; has a wide choice of custom roms; is "officially" supported by CM7; and the community is working very hard to port ICS to this phone. Also very hard to "permanently" break from a custom-rom point of view - "download mode" means almost any other problem is fixable.
