[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatualive:
Ive always only ever had HTC phones, had loads of them now, and this time ive had a change and got myself the Note!

Its a bit different and is taking alot of getting used to!!

First one i cant understand is, if i look at a website, and then lock the phone, if i return to it later, and open the internet app, it goes straight to the homepage instead of the page i was last looking at!

My HTCs never did this and im finding it VERY annoying! Can anyone help me with that one!??

Second is the home button, which can unlock the phone from standby!? Seriously who thought this would be a good idea?

Ive seen a solution but the phone needs to be rooted, which seems a bit extreme just to change one button! Is there another way round this?

The third one is about the email clients, i have an exchange account and a hotmail account, the exchange account can be setup to not look for mail when im asleep (out of hours) but the hotmail client cant do this and i recieve all sorts of rubbish all through the night!! Is the only way round this to use the hotmail app and delete the account off the device???

My Desire HD is soorly missed at the moment! Can anyone help???!:D

Can anyone tell me how to access the browser settings to stop it going to mobile sites? In the menu and settings there isn't anything to disable it, like on opera you could go to opera:config...

Is there something like this i can access on this handset? Please help these niggles are doing my head in and starting to take the shine off the new phone, i don't know where else to ask!

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darfus:
You can acces the user agent settings by typing about:useragent in the adressbar.

With regards to the browser loading again in memory I haven't heard a fix for this. You can fix your hotmail account by using it as an exhange mail type of account. Than the same type of settings should be available to you.

About using the home button to unlock, you mean turn screen on? Or you mean doubletap on the homebutton?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatualive:
Hadn't even thought of setting up the email like that! I think the phone keeps killing the internet after a while for me so im trying to stop the task manager to see if it helps keep my internet pages loaded...thanks for the info on the browser, and i want to stop the home button being able to wake the phone up, when its locked and you double click the button the phone unlocks and goes to the voice app, can't i have it so the button does nothing unless the phone is unlocked?

Thanks for the reply!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darfus:
You can disable the double tap on home button in the voice talk settings.

Done that! Nice one! Only one left now is why the phne keeps killing the internet service for me! Hopefully ICS will sort it out when its pushed out!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacev:
I finally gave in to the update nagging screen and tried to update.

My phone was rooted with preinstall method, nothing else.

I was on 2.3.4 (4.5.91).

I installed RootKeeper and unrooted before the update (kept root backup).

The phone downloaded the update, restarted, and I saw the Android Icon and an "unpacking" progress bar. The bar stopped about half way and the icon turned into an exclamation point. I thought I was toast....

The phone rebooted fine, everything still there. I got a message box "Update failed" once I got on my home screen. The phone is still 2.3.4. The update nagging is gone.

I have pretty rare reboots, maybe 2 a month. I am quite happy with it.

Anyone had the same issue? Should I even bother going to 2.3.6?

The only thing I am really missing on the Atrix is HDMI mirroring option with 720p or 1080p up-conversion.

How can I get the cause for the "fail"? Should I use the Moto USB method?

I wouldnt mind going to CM9 but I want the Finger Sensor, Camera etc all to work. I dont want to loose any current functionality going to CM9 and its not there yet, correct?

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickdeal:
I would just stay where you are at. Unless you really want the mirroring. You seem to not mind stock so I would wait for Moto to release ICS for the Atrix. They put it on the list.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnahc79:
if you only rooted, did nothing else that requires root (freeze apps, put files in /system, etc) and did not unlock the bootloader, just unroot and then apply the 2.3.6. update.

1. Open Android Terminal Emulator (ADB)

2. Type in the following commands, hitting ENTER after each line of code: (after typing 'su' below, look for the Superuser request and approve it, you can only continue if you get the # prompt.

Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p17 /preinstall
rm /system/bin/su
rm /preinstall/sqlite3
rm /preinstall/dosu
rm /preinstall/Superuser.apk
rm /preinstall/su
reboot

3. Let the phone reboot fully and then go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > find Superuser and uninstall it just like any other app.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacev:
thx guys,

so you are saying that it failed because the unroot in rootkeeper did not do it right?

so with the manual unroot it should work? is there anyway to see why the update failed? log file or smth?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnahc79:
There have been posts in various 2.3.6 threads where rootkeeper did not work if you used the fastboot preinstall method.

It should work if you manually unroot as long as everything else is stock.

for seeing why the update failed, hold the Volume up and power button when the error appears and you should see some sort of error msg...never tried it myself though.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otter9309:
I have the same issue. I used the preinstall root as well as unroot. I have not found a way to install the update. I tried OTA (I am locked) and I also tried to install from SD.

No dice
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnahc79:
Did you undo everything that requires root access prior to applying the OTA? I usually do the following prior to an OTA (and redo once the OTA is applied):

uninstall Swype beta, restore stock Swype files (the so and apk files)

move ringtones out of /system/media
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qaddaffi:
Help Needed

Hi All,

I am a newbie here :) and I am not sure if my question makes any sense. Couple weeks back, I bought an Atrix 4g (US version), an unlocked version (the seller told me that this phone is unlocked using AT&T code) and I am using it with Vodafone (India) sim. It works perfectly and so far I didnt face any problems with this phone. But last week, I got an alert in phone saying that software update (2.3.4.5.141) is available for AT&T users and enable wifi to download. However, I didnt download and install the update as I was not sure why is it saying the update is available only for AT&T users. Also wherever I read about this software udpate, the name 'AT&T users' come along with that.

So my doubt here is, what will happen if I, who is not an AT&T user, download and install the software update in my phone ? will it cause any issues in the phone (like getting locked again or bricking the phone)

I have not done any modification like rooting or installing custom ROM and things like that and I am using the phone as I recieved it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Use one of the update files from this post, if you have changed any files since you rooted you will have to probably restore those files first, if you are completely stock then just flash through CWM. Cheers.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfollowell:
My wife and I each have rooted Nook Tablets and love them. A friend of my Wife's where she works saw her NT and comment that she had one too and it didn't do all that my Wife's was doing. My Wife told her ours were rooted and explained what that was and what it allowed you to do. Her friend was very excited and asked if we'd root hers for her. Now that we know how to do it and how easy it is, we readily agreed.

However, when my Wife brought her friend's Nook home, I quickly found out that it is a Nook Color v.1.4.1, not a Nook Tablet. I know there are different rooting procedures and I'm not really familiar with them at all. So I'm coming here for advice.

My Wife's friend wants her NC to be pretty much like or NTs and by that I mean no full OS replacement. She just wants pretty much a stock NC with root access, gapps suite and an additional 3rd party launcher like Go Launcher EX. Which rooting procedure would best help me give her what she's wanting? Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Hey guys,

apart from my Un-Bricking-Thread I wanted to start a Thread dealing with how to prevent a brick in the first place.

--- Already bricked your Prime? Read on here, maybe you can recover it ---

In the last days I learned quite a few things about the TFP, its CWM and how to work with it. I also hard bricked my Prime so I certainly know what I am talking about ;)

Unfortunately ASUS didn't fully unlock our Bootloader. We still can't use NVFLASH for low level flashs.

This also means that we can't recover some things we could with NVFLASH access (like a broken bootloader).

So lets start with the

things you better not do

:

DON'T

Once you unlocked the prime and installed CWM,

do NOT

try to install a super blob from ASUS (that is a blob file from one of the 'full' updates from their site)

It seems that doing so totally bricks your Prime with no chance of recovery... (

happened at least twice so far

)

Don't flash kernels like you used to flash (with write_raw_image to /boot). This does not work on the Prime. More on how to do it later.

Don't rely on your newly created ROM to work,

ALWAYS

have a backup of a working ROM on your sdcard (or a zip of a working ROM)

Currently we can't mount the USB-Storage from inside CWM, so transferring files to the Prime while being in recovery is not as easy for many not so advanced users.

Always make sure you have all files you need before rebooting to recovery.

DO

Kernel flashing: There seem to be two methods on how to flash a new kernel. One is safer but needs a bit more work, and the other is rather unsafe but okay when you (or the ROM dev) know what needs to be done.

Flash your boot.img via fastboot. This is usually rather safe (as safe as fastboot can be) but needs you to have a working fastboot environment. Update: It seems kernel flashing via fastboot does not work at all. Fastboot doesn't give you an error but it doesn't update the kernel either...

Flash your kernel via the /staging partition. In order to use this method you first need to pack your boot.img into a blob file.

Then you need put the data from the blob file to the /staging partition.

Once you reboot the kernel gets automatically installed.

Please be aware that you can flash almost everything like this, even the bootloader.

So if you screw up packing the blob file, you could easily brick your Prime.

The advantage of this method is that the user doesn't need to do anything, but you really need to take care of what you are doing.

Also make sure that the /staging partition is ALWAYS unmounted before flashing anything to it. Otherwise this will result in a Brick 3.

Always make a backup of your current ROM before flashing anything else. As stated earlier, we currently have no access to the sdcard in recovery, so transferring files to Prime is not as easy in recovery mode.

So I hope I can find some more topics in the future, but for now that's it :)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Deathbyfugu:
Thanks, thanks, bump, and thanks again! Due to the current state of our device's development (especially with an early build of CWM), misinformation floating around, etc. this is invaluable! Now I know what "staging" is and what its use is. Well done - keep up the great work :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Use custom ROMs. We currently don't really know if it ALWAYS bricks your Prime. We just know that two updates bricked two primes :p

I think nobody wants to try ;)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mouse100:
Will be possible to use NVFLASH anytime? Have we to look for a dev or is Asus that must upgrade its apk?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Thanks Diamondback for making this. This needs to become a sticky immediately. To many people are blindly unlocking then get mad when they find out they can't do OTA updates. Or people installing CMW without even unlocking and blaming others issues on that when they found out device should've been unlocked first..lmfao

Unlock tool release=operation sabotage for those who don't know any better or ignorant or lazy to research first. QnA section had several people with semi or hard bricked primes. Primes are dying off left n right..lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Col.Kernel:
So you download their software, run it to completely void your warranty (they've already denied support on one unrelated hardware issues that I know of), and you STILL don't have full access?

WTF!?!?!!?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
Not being able to use NVFlash has completely put me off, for me NVFlash was the ultimate aim for unlocking the bootloader ... pretty **** !

(unhappy smiley)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GirLuvsDroid:
Diamondback, I'm so sorry to hear that you bricked your Prime! Any luck getting unbricked yet?

Thank you so much for posting this invaluable guide. You are generous beyond words, to go to this effort to save other users from the lessons you had to learn the hard way. There aren't enough thanks in the world.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] di11igaf:
If we can at least ATM use fastboot that's a good thing. A good thing for fastboot is you can first do-

fastboot boot boot.img and it will boot the kernel the first time, basically so you can test it before it writes the .img

then you can fastboot flash boot.img to write the image. It'll work for now, sucks that any non-dev who just wants to flash a kernel has to set up fastboot

Edit- girluvsdroid- just saw you were in wilmington- me too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BlakeLCooper:
This was very helpful.

BUMP!

Reading is fundamental! Lol I don't know how many times I've just glanced over post, just to get the newest firmware, and kernals, just to end up on the verg of a bricked device. Thanks.

Any advice?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Yes. fastboot boot does not work at all.And we also found out that kernel flashing via fastboot does not work either.

You have to flash your kernels via a custom made blob ;-)

Prime Stuck in CWM boot loop hell.

I have a Prime that is stuck in a CWM Recovery boot loop.

Brick 1a

All thanks (sincerely) to Viperboy and his ViperMOD PrimeTime 4.5, I had my Prime rooted, boot loader unlocked and loaded with ClockworkMOD Recovery 5.5.0.4.

I used CWM to create a backup, wipe the data/factory, cache partition and Dalvik cache, rebooted the system (from CWM menu) just to verify that the unit was really wiped back to setup, powered down the unit, rebooted into CWM Recovery (using Power while holding Vol.Down, wait for small/white text, Vol.Up) and Restored using the previously created Backup.

I rebooted Android from CWM menu and my Prime was restored.

Everything was great, but not for long.

The next time that I booted into CWM recovery I selected “Reboot System Now”.

It went dark, displayed the ASUS splash screen, went dark and went back into CWM.

I am stuck in that loop.

I have tried all the suggested fixes I can find but all methods are useless because:

1. I can’t acquire an ADB connection because Windows doesn’t identify the bricked Prime correctly and won’t install the USB drivers. Device Manager sees “Full Android as Emulator”.

2. I can’t boot into the boot loader to use Fastboot because I never see the option to choose it. It boots or reboots directly into CWM after “Booting Recovery Kernel Image”, ever while holding the Vol.Down button.

I have repeatedly tried installing and uninstalling the drivers by installing and uninstalling the Asus Sync and Asus Android USB Drivers. I have repeatedly tried to install the drivers via the Device Manager. No good. I’ve installed and uninstalled Android SDK Tools repeatedly.

Is there a way out of this? I hope I'm not efed.

Thank you in advance for any help.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Temporalmind:
Universal Naked Driver works great!

Ok, you saved me and my precious.

Your drivers were exactly what I needed.

After installing them in Device manager I was able to achieve a “ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface” connection.

Following the “How to Unbrick your Transformer Prime (or not)”, Option 1a and restoring I’m up and running.

Thank you!

Then, I deliberately caused the boot looping condition again to see if I could figure out how I got there.

There is an app that I think comes preinstalled on the Prime called ”Transformer Recovery Boot”. The icon is labeled "Recovery". This is the app that took me into the Brick 1a the first time and I duplicated it the next time I used it.

Then I was able to ADB my way back to civilization, again.

Thought I’d pass that on incase it helps to determine why the unlocked Prime seems to be so susceptible to bricking.

Again, Thank You!
