[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
Just to verify your phone is being recognized via Odin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dodgeram02:
yes it does see it...just doesnt want to finish any of the tar flash thru Odin...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
Which tar are you trying to flash, and have you made sure it wasnt a bad download by flashing a different tar?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EvoSideHustlAZ:
Yeah try different tar if still doesntvwork,umtoot back to stock 29 and start over.(qbkings how-to-videos).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dodgeram02:
I got it fixed...just had to instal EG30 first manually them update to EL29...works like a charm...I used that AUTOROOT thats what effed my Phone up...for now on I will Manually do it...:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
EG30 tar works great. Actually all of sfhub's work is great. I did the EG30 then Odin flashed a kernel, got yellow triangle, used my USB jig then restored my nandroid and flashed my modem. From stock to my EL29 setup in 10 min..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Do you mind relaying how Auto Root effed your phone up? All I read was ODIN didn't complete the flash (and the screen you saw is the expected behavior if that happens)

I didn't read where you used Auto Root.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Thats what you get for liking the packers :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dodgeram02:
Ya I watched Qbkings video went an downloaded EL29 AutoRoot "Preserve" ran it..It got half way thru then froze.waited 30 minutes..then I retried just kept freezing..So the I treid an older version..EK02 an EG30...Ek02 got a little farther then frooze soon as it hit the modem for install then it frooze..EG30 just kept resetting my phone...Anyway Im not really new the flashing Well to samsung phones Yes im new..lol..anyway I did it manually an it worked..Not saying it was really your autoroot,Im thinkin ""ODIN"""is a very picky program..One thing I do notice is my recovery seems to change by its self....very wierd...it goes from CLOCKWORKMOD Touch..then back to the original version...I even tried that other one Rogue..same thing..just really wierd that everytime I boot into recovery I get a different Recovery...lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dodgeram02:
Hmmmm Who is your team...Da ****ty ass Bears LOL There is always next year for ya..Prob a Cubbies fan to huh........Dont be hating on the Packers..:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I think the confusion is just terminology. None of what you just described is Auto Root. They are One-Click ODIN.

It doesn't really "change by itself". What is really happening is the CWM Touch you flashed is a fake flash and isn't persistent. It works immediately after the fake flash, but since it wasn't actually flashed, at next reboot, it will go back to original. You need to install a CWM Touch that is actually packed into a kernel, then it will be persistent.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RootNewbie23:
Stuck in Downloading Mode!!

Hey dodgeram02, aside from flashing that EG30 kernel in ODIN, what else did you do? I flashed EG30 in ODIN with a PASS but the phone keeps bootlooping. What do I do? Any and all suggestions welcome

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NORCALkID:
I also tried using Odin to update to the fb27 modem leak and Odin got stuck at the end of the process. I was able to restore my phone by flashing a kernel through Odin then manually flashing a new rom and modem.. but now that I try to update profile and prl I get error messages

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
When I got my prime yesterday I removed the bloatware from system/app/, I didn't back it up because they were apps I had zero use for and wouldn't need. Now I can't install the latest firmware update because of it.

I have a system dump, but I don't want to replace it just yet because when I boot into recovery an android with an exlamation point pops up.

what recovery consoles are there for transformer prime, or what is a safe way for me to swap out /system/app with a stock version?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I know what...its very simple. Just manually install the. 13 update from Asus website. That'll put everything back stock. Then just update to .14 afterwards. Very easy n simple n guaranteed to work.

Lesson: Asus is not some phone company. The stocks apps are very minimal and deleting tthem makes no improvement on speed. Prime stock apps are no where near enough to be called bloatware. Lesson learned, leave prime stock apps alone..lmfao. always always causes trouble as you see what you have to go through just to try to update now. I have all stock apps n my prime n it runs super fast n no lag. This ain't at&t where there load up the bloatware. Asus prime is very minimal. LEAVE STOCK APPS ALONE..lol

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 PM ----------

Forget swapping out. Just manually reinstall .13 update from asus website. That's only surefire way you will get it all back to stock setup and able to do OTA update. Plus prime doesn't even have any bloatware..lol. this is a tablet..not some phone from a carrier who loads it bloatware
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
lol cmon though, myzine? who the hell uses that?

Its really compulsive for me to delete those things after getting 3 minute boot times on my tf101 from it being loaded with apps and bloat.

However you're correct in saying it probably won't hurt the prime to leave them there. I have yet to lag. I'll try manually installing .13.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
i downloaded the .13 firmware and extracted it to my microsd card but its not detecting it, is this because I'm running .13?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
It needs to be on root of micro SD card. Make sure to follow instructions from Asus website on howbto manually install. Or look at the thread in developement section here called install any update on prime. Try Asus method first. It should be detecting it unless you don't have file on root of micro SD card. Then you have to put prime into factory recovery n flash that file once you point the prime tl where its at. Just look at Asus website for exact procedure. Through them you guaranteed to be able to OTA to latest afterwards. Method in developement. Not sure of. Some said they could OTA. Some said they couldn't for some reason.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
it worked, the file didn't extract right on windows for some reason, extacted it on android, applied, now I have .14. Thanks again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
ugh I must have messed up ota, root is gone and not returning.

EDIT: rerooted everything's fine again.

this also applies in restoring a back-up

hi guys, im a new member here on XDA, but i have been watching this forum since November..i just realized that i have to register to help others..anyways..

this is my short guide to have a clean installation of ROMS

>reboot phone..DONE

>turn-off phone

>touch the screen many times if you see the "sony ericcson"

>DO "wipe data/Factory reset"

>go to "mounts and storage" and do "format system" and then go back to main menu

>go to "advance" and do "wipe dalvik cache" and go back to main menu

>now you can flash your favorite ROM

>after installation go again to "advanced" and do "wipe battery stats"

>reboot phone..DONE

i made this guide because i tested a lot of ROMS and every time i do this, my phone is much faster than anyone else here on XDA..as a proof, i attached my antutu score..

my score is 1927b @600mhz using FroyoProv2.4

[XPERIA X8 General] nazz.rule:
Question From Newbie..

Is it okay to wipe battery stats although my phone battery not at 100%..??

Sorry for my english..
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
Yes its fine..its a way to have a clean install..especially if you restore a back-up rom..
[XPERIA X8 General] _Sparks:
Nice thread mate.:)
[XPERIA X8 General] hunff:
A suggestion:

- In custom kernels, back button enter in CWM not touch screen.

- When you're installing a ROM, the installer do the /system format and wipe dalvik cache automatically. (at least for all ROMs that I already tested)

The AnTuTu score is because of your ROM, most of people who use FroyoPro has a high score. (but a oddly low write speed)
[XPERIA X8 General] NIMBAH:
You should do a full wipe after installing a rom as well.
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
Thanks for the coments!..anyway, doing fullwipe after instalation,is this recomended?

Thanks
[XPERIA X8 General] hunff:
I always do full wipe after installation, except in some ROMs that you can't do (like PrimeHD)
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
Ok i see..thanks for the info dude.
[XPERIA X8 General] BuT_TeR:

e it formats system? don't it??

So far, my prime issues that came about by the .13 firmware update (battery draining fast, sleep of death after just a minute) are seemingly fixed by the .14 firmware. I appreciate Gary's hard work on keeping tabs on the issues here, and if you're just now having issues with .14, make sure to send Gary Key a PM letting him know your issues and serial #.

[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:

[Motorola Droid 3] stud beefpile:
Are you asking the difference between Gtalk + video and Skype + video? Or the difference between the verizon Skype vs. market Skype?

The main notice between market Skype and verizon Skype for me was that I couldn't uninstall the latter. I've read a few threads that mention market Skype takes up less memory while running but I think the measurements are marginal at best.

Gtalk + video is just win anyway, the only downfall I see is that Skype has a larger user base.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Gtalk and skype. Skype is crystal clear and good audio so im not sure what advatages gtalk has
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ikediggety:
OK - first, the obligatory apology in advance if this has been discussed. I promise i searched first.

When I go into clear the cache or data from an app (via the settings menu), i'm unable to do so - they all just say "calculating" and never actually display anything, and the buttons are always greyed out. (I'm also unable to use "1-tap" cache cleaner that used to work before, but I'm more concerned about not being able to clear an app's cache from within the OS).

i'm still locked and stock, so i can't clear cache in recovery. i could always plug it in and clear through adb. but my real question is, are other people having this problem, and does it point to something larger?

thanks in advance.

According to the review posted on engadget which has seperate sections for the ATT and international version: The Att version is thicker, slower, and heavier.

I'm having trouble finding actual hardware differences though. I prefer to the 1 hardware button design of the international version but someone suggested that only the ATT version supports LTE. Is that true?

i have the at&t version and using it now... cermic white is better than black ... make sure you get the white version lol

anyway, 3rd party launchers aren't as smooth as the stock TW launcher unfortunately, but i am still very pleased with the phone.

both processors are extremely fast - i don't think there are too many applications that would really challenge the note anyway... my playstation emulator does just fine.

i think the capacitive buttons are MUCH cooler as well. they light up - look very cool!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Hi.

This is more of philosophical, if you will (:

so... I get it;

LG releases their Android version (or T-Mobile, if you will), and than, these hackers-developers-geniuses take this ROM (or OS) and put their spell on it, clean it, set it, teak, gizz, and whatnot. Great! Now we have a new ROM based on original.

But what I DON'T GET, is how is it that some just released an ALPHA build of Android 4, if LG themselves did not do so yet! Where do these dev-geniuses get the "source code" (this is what it's called, right?) in order to build an ICS ROM from?

I have run Ricardo's (Google Plus guy)

CM9

ROM, and it runs very nice (has glitches though - i kept dropping calls, so had to depart from it, sadly), and this is what made me ask this question.

Thanks!!!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] alphs:
Source code for 4.0 has been out for 3 months now?

source.android.com
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jblah:
probably the same place LG gets their stuff from. LG dev support is pretty awful! google comes out with the OS...on one phone then people attempt to port it to other phones...with the hopes that the company of the phone is also working on it. i mean the OS is basically the same thing. however since each phone is different, you have to modify the source code (which is released by google!) to work with the phone you have. for example. the galaxy nexus does not have buttons..we do..so you have to modify the code for that. things of that nature. but then again i'm not a android developer so i could be completely wrong but it makes sense in my mind.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mjm128:
The "miracle" is in getting the drivers to work for the hardware the manufacturers use (such as LG). The source code has been out since November I believe. The problem is in getting android to work with the hardware: cpu/gpu, camera, bluetooth, radio, wifi, touchscreen, etc.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Google releases the source for Android for anyone to take.

So devs just take that source and build it themselves. But of course there's plenty of obstacles as devs have to make it compatible for our devices. There's a hell of a lot more to it than that, but that's the gist of it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Klathmon:
honestly, it really isnt easy, they basically do the same thing lg does. they take the source code that google releases, and changes many MANY MANY! parts of it in order to work with the hardware (the actual chips and parts of the phone).

just as an example, lg has an ENTIRE DEPARTMENT devoted to what arcee did on his own (even tho at this point its still in an early stage), and while lg gets paid for it, arcee is doing it for donations and just because he wants to. so if you really liked his work, and want him to keep going, drop a few bucks his way :)

Yes it is half full (16gb) and used daily Before flashing.

So is there a reason the card is. 'hidden' in eec?

and how do apps know where it is assuming I can remember as well.

I also don't see the root in stock FM, I wonder what its doing when it does a media scan.

So anyway how do I make it normal?
