[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] projeto56:
So. I can't finish the instalation of the ics rom. I did the wipe before flashing it. But I get stuck at the android logo on first boot.

I've tried flashing 3 times already.

Any suggestions?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toukhang:
Try n redownload file

Then reflash. Don't forget to factory reset as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] projeto56:
I was afraid of that. My connection went down and I resumed it later.

I'll redownload it later. Thanks for the suggestion anyway :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toukhang:
yeah... bad downloads actually do happen now n then.. lets hope thats all it is.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Niche:
Has anybody been able to solve this? Did factory reset work for you?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] projeto56:
So. I've finally managed to get ics working. But I have the slow performance and force closes problem. :( even after wiping everything.

I'm going flash it again and see what happens
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] projeto56:
Nop. I had to redownload the rom, just to get it installed. But as I stated in the above post I still have some problems. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] projeto56:
Ok. Factory reset before AND after flashing the rom. Now apparently all my problems are gone :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jb0nd38372:
Quick rundown: I have the Galaxy Note, with the 3 Gig data package. Prior to the Note, I had the Inspire with the 2 Gig package. I am a disabled tech geek who has either constantly got my phone in hand or on my desktop. I don't get out of the house as much as I would like but when I do, usually i am using my phone for A. Gps navigation, B. Web surfing C. Just browsing the market / Facebook, or chatting / emailing. When I got my Inspire last year I knew I would use more than 200mb a month so the 2 gig plan was a no brainer. Come to find out after a years worth of use I tend to only use 300-500 meg per month and that was only when I was mobile, the rest of the time I was using my WiFi connection. So Monday when I got the Note, I noticed for $5 more per month I could get an extra gig of data, so I went ahead and upgraded.

Here is what I would like opinions on:

Would you guys if you were me, knowing my situation just forgo the WiFi connection and use what I'm paying for; or stay setup like I have it now and only use the data when I'm mobile and am not near a wifi spot?

On rare occasions during the summer months there might be a camping trip or two through out the year, but otherwise my away from wifi time only happens when i'm traveling from point A to B since most everything from Hospitals to McDonalds have access now lol.

Oh, note to mention, I'm in an area that does not have LTE yet, we do however have HSPDA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
For your usage listed above, 3Gig is more than enough for not using wi-fi. You only need more if you stream video (youtube or Netflix) or audio (Pandora) a lot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
I usually try wifi first since it is abundant. My home wifi is excellent, so I always use wifi at home. If the wifi connection somewhere is bogged down or not connecting, I turn off the wifi and go with LTE. I usually do not stream anything unless I am on wifi.

I have never gone over 2 GB so I think your plan would be fine for your needs. You can always send *3282# from you phone dialer and get a text back to tell you where you are at on your data and texts.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jb0nd38372:
Well all things considered it's ok, Strange how life changes things around. Growing up with Cerebral palsy my mom / dad took care of me, then when I was 27, I finally married, that lasted 5 years. After the Divorce my dad whom had had a stroke died, and my mom who was 65 at the time fell broke her hip so I moved in and started taking care of her. Between several failed attempts at relationships and my love for tech I have just stayed put for the past few years.

I enjoy being stress free and being able to afford a few gadgets every now and again and not having to stress over when the next girl is going to dump me.. (kinda twisted thought process I guess) Anyway, I repair computers part time and the combined income keeps a little food in my stomach, and gadgets to pass the days away. [I think i'd rather spend the money I make on something I love rather than on someone who wouldn't love me.]

Im sure its posted somewhere but i couldn't find it. How do we get video talk over 3g?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Techvir:
To enable google talk using 3g do the following

adb pull /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db

$ sqlite3 gservices.db

insert into overrides (name, value) VALUES ('gtalk_vc_wifi_only', 'false');

(control-d to exit sqlite)

$ adb push gservices.db /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db

( u can do the same thing using root explorer and sqlite)

Sorry for being a complete noob at this but can you explain the following step in a bit more detail?

insert into overrides (name, value) VALUES ('gtalk_vc_wifi_only', 'false');

I downloaded an sqlite browser/editor and found the overrides directory with name, value but I'm not sure "where" to enter the gtalk_vc_yadda yadda to make it work.

Edit: attached an image of what I'm looking at, this junk doesn't make any sense to me.

Hi all,

I received a marketing email last night with a deal that was so good I had to share!

A company called "BOX" has released their app onto android:

http://www.box.com/

it is like dropbox, but if you download the android app and sign up through there you get 50Gb of free storage!!!

http://venturebeat.com/2012/02/23/box-android-50gb-free/

I just DL the app, and stuck my email addy in, and 5 seconds later "Welcome to BOX, Free 50Gb account upgrade"

I logged out and signed up as my wife, same thing happened....no confirmation emails were sent just instant access!!!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Are there any file size limitations for what you can upload or download? I know some of the cloud storage sites have some such as 250mb etc.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 4D3:

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobaspeaz:
I am new to using a nook as a full fledged android device and was a bit confused as to what i am reading here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1448186

I am wanting to use this version as i would rather use what the developer is creating and donate back than to go to ndacards and buy their simple solution.

I understand all the information about getting the different roms burned to the card but then i read the word "flashing" in some of the instructions. I do not want to flash anything to the nook that could void the warranty. I just simply want to boot into android and use it as a tablet. I am assuming this is what is being discussed but once i read the word flash and install it made me pause for verification before proceeding.

Here is the section in the link that I am talking about:

"7-Choose to 'Install zip from SDcard --> Choose zip from SDcard --> Now choose, gapps-GB-20110828-signed-DualbootSD.zip. Once that's completed now choose, gapps-ICS-20111125-2-DualbootSD.zip

8-After you're done flashing both Gapps, now you're ready to boot into your roms and sign into market. I don't think I need to go any further explaining how to do so."

Is there a way to just boot from the SD card to android without flashing or installing anything on the nook? Or is this non intrusive steps and its only referencing installing files to some storage on the nook and its leaving my eMMC alone.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] racks11479:
You're not flashing anything to stock with that method. It's all done on your SDcard only. Stock does not get touched at all unless you choose to format partitions with CWM Recovery, which I don't recommend at all with the methods I posted. You'll be flashing the gapps to your SDcard rom.

Again, all that flashing is to your SDcard rom, not your EMMC. :)

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
If all you want is a single working install on SD, verygreen's automatic installer is the way to go. It's also the method most people selling pre-made cards used. Having ClockworkMod involved just increases the odds that someday you're going to accidentally install or restore something to the NC itself.

The "SD install" link in my sig is a simple, step-by-step breakdown of verygreen's method that a lot of people have found helpful.

What happened was I was trying to root the darn thing it was working but I found out that the SGH-I927RUXKJ5_STOCK_ROOTED.tar.bz2 file from rapidshare file didn't download correctly and was damaged tar file and when it was rooting it was stuck at 40%. I turned my phone off and my phone has a black screen with "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." Once I reseted it now stuck on Rogers boot Screen.

How to fix:

Turn phone off, volume up and power botton and run Odin, Try Rooting your phone again.

FIXED Firmware encountered a problem during kies!! SGH-I927

I wouldnt recommned updating to ICS especially through kies i had my phone stuck at "firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again":eek: for 2 days It was a disaster. So i came across a website called http://androidromupdate.com/2012/09...-firmware-upgrade-official-kiesota-stock-rom/

I then downloaded the the I927UCLH2 ICS 4.0.4 Original Stock ROM using ODIN... FOLLOW DIRECTIONS THROUGH THE SITE NOT KIES!! BUT THE ORIGINAL STOCK ROM!

***After you have successfully completed the stock rom with ODIN***

Get a rom from http://forum.jakar.co/android-hack/1345758298/ Choose the ROM called Bio360 its almost the same Replica of Gingerbread its Version 2.3.5

VERY IMPORTANT!! Make sure you put the ZIP FILE (ROM) in your INTERNAL STORAGE NOT THE EXTERNAL!!! (SD CARD SLOT) BIG MISTAKE!!

Go to google and type in "CWM captivate glide new" click the first link beggining with www.theandroidsoul.com........ FOLLOW DIRECTIONS THROUGH THE SITE!

After you have downloaded the Rom (ZIP FILE) and CWM put your phone into Recovery mode by powering off the device. hold power button and the volume down button until you see clockwork recovery, from here you are going to look for install from sd card and look for the zip file/Rom Bio360 and you should be set!

*******THE Bio360 Rom is also Rooted so there is no need to do an extra step************

Hi

I have accidently formatted the boot partition of my nook and now I am unable to boot by nook color. Can you please point me to right direction so that I can restore the nook functionality.

Thanks in advance,

Lex
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMPOWER:
First fully charge your Nook Color, because it might have been on this whole time and you just could not see it

You need to make a bootable ClockWorksMod version 3.2.0.1 SD card: HERE - Use Win32DiskImager to flash this image to your SD card LINK

Download the "update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip" from HERE

Copy above file onto your bootable CWM SD card using Windows Explorer

DO NOT extract the zip file. It MUST be left as-is

Insert bootable CWM SD card into your NC

Press and hold the power button to turn it on

If you don't see a "Loading" image come on the screen after a few seconds, then press and hold the power button again, because you might have just turned your NC off

When CWM boots select:

Install zip from sdcard (Volume down 4 times, then n)

choose zip from sdcard (Volume down 1 time, then n)

select "update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip" (Hit volume up until you get to it, then n)

Confirm that you really want to run the update

Wait patiently to complete the install

Remove bootable CWM card from NC and select reboot

Your NC should boot like normal

At this point, you can do a full proper restore to stock if you would like by following the directions HERE

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateorod:
I have a question about this. In the nightlies for ICS, there is a line in the build.prop that reads ro.cwm.forbid_format/boot. Obviously, this looks intended to stop casual users from accidentally falling into the same situation.

I added /cache to test it. I am embarrassed to say that I just now realized that I wiped cache, I didn't format it, so obviously my test was not the best.

My question, I'm guess, is does that build.prop edit work to stop this problem from occurring? Could it be added to cm7 ROMs and would it work there (or is it already there on current nightlies?)

When I press the power button to go into standby about 30 seconds later I get the sony logo as if it is rebooting.

Anyone else having or had this problem?

Or is it a rogue app that I have installed thats causing it.

Cheers,

[Sony Tablet S] agc93:
I've certainly never seen it and never heard other users reporting this. Check recently installed apps, then if you have ADB working, check logcat while its happening.
[Sony Tablet S] depulle87:
Think it is a installed app causing it, probarbly wifi related, try to set wifi policy to "never"
[Sony Tablet S] jameslindsey:
Just a thought, check that the power button isn't sticking?

It feels a little bit lightwieght to me and a potential source of issues going forward.
[Sony Tablet S] obicom:
And if power button not sticking and you are not able to find the guilty app, you should try a factory reset .. but be aware that this deletes all your installed apps and data.
[Galaxy S II General] KickerTom:
Hi,

I did some experimenting with getting kernel serial console output on SGSII I9100 without soldering, or even disasembling the device. And seems I succeeded :).

So, for anyone interested, here are the details.

First, two warnings:

- you will loose access to CWM recovery! ODIN still usable though.

- no access to bootloader output, only kernel logging available

Now the steps:

enable UART PDA

Flash original samsung ROM (changes in service mode settings in cyanogenmod are not permanent for some reason, I haven't tried other ROMs)

Enter service mode by dialing *#7284#, select UART mode PDA (default is modem. No need to change USB mode to PDA, leave it as is).

Configure, build and flash the kernel

get your kernel command line using dmesg right after boot

modify the console parameter to console=ttySAC2,115200

configure your kernel with this command line (CONFIG_CMDLINE). In my case, the commandline used was:

loglevel=4 console=ttySAC2,115200 sec_debug.enable=0 sec_debug.enable_user=0 c1_watchdog.sec_pet=5 sec_log=0x100000@0x4d900000 s3cfb.bootloaderfb=0x5ec00000 ld9040.get_lcdtype=0x2 consoleblank=0 lpj=3981312 vmalloc=144m

set force override parameters passed by the bootloader (CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE=y)

build the kernel

build your ROM of choice (I have used cyanogenmod) with this new kernel

flash

power off the device, connect "standard" Samsung UART cable - microUSB with 523K resistor to ID pin, 3.3V to RS232 level converter

Now the phone should start and you should see kernel boot messages on connected terminal emulator.

Open questions:

Why UART switch changes are not permanent from cyanogenmod? Is this i known bug?

How to change bootloader parameters from within linux? E.g. kernel command line options... Does anyone know where are the persistent settings of the bootloader stored?

This information is mainly collected from many sources here on this forum, thanks to all of you for publishing your findings. I take credit only for putting all this information together and spending a lot of time trying it out :-). Also, I take no responsibility for any bricked devices, make sure you know what you are doing, before you start following my steps.

Hope this helps anyone :).
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
--DELETED--
[Galaxy S II General] XpLoDWilD:
The only reason I see for this is kernel. Are you using CM7 or CM9 ?

What did you use as UART cable? Do you have a microUSB to RJ45 + Z3X, or some homemade all-in-one ?
[Galaxy S II General] KickerTom:
I am using CM7.2RC0 KANG, updated yesterday. Kernel also latest git, home built. But I remember having this problem with "official" nightly builds as well.

For cable, I have my own micro USB with id pin on break out cable, so I can switch resistors, and home made level shifter made from a MAX chip, that connected via stock USB to serial to the PC.
[Galaxy S II General] Odia:
Why not just change index 0x10 in /mnt/.lfs/param.blk?
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
More details on this? - is that what changes UART PDA?

For the kernel cmdline side of things - I have never found any way to override the kernel cmdline in a controllable manner. The bootloader has a fixed commandline, and it makes changes to it depending on what buttons are pressed (which is why you can't enter CWM via the button combos if you force the cmdline) However, if you're working with a custom kernel, you can just go find the handler for the console= option and force it to always be ttySAC2 regardless of what is passed in the source. This won't work for custom kernels. (Wait... neither will the OP's approach either, sorry - not enough caffeine yet.)

If there's another cmdline option you want enabled, you can overload one of the ones that is in use, and have it trigger other handlers (but those have to have their parameters hardcoded) - such as how garyd9 caused ramconsole setup to be triggered by the loglevel cmdline parameter at https://github.com/garyd9/linux_kernel_GT-P6210/commit/d796ac86dcff1eeda19d7638315dcf6fe3978318. If you're wondering why he did this to enable ramconsole - in the I777 and GT-P6210 source drops, ramconsole support seems to be improved compared to the I9100 source drops - it requires little to no extra patching AND it's controllable by the kernel cmdline - while that's normally an improvement, it's a pain in the ass if you can't change the bootloader to add the ramconsole cmdline parameters.
