[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AVAH0LIC:
Obviously I'm sure you'll get a different answer depending on what store, your location, or even the employee. But I was under the impression that once you file a claim and get a new phone, that you'll never get a NEW one. I've probably had 5+ replacement devices and I've never gotten a new one :/

I don't mind though, just because it had a problem in the past doesn't mean that it still does. I know sometimes, by just standing in line and listening to people, that a lot of the times the refurbs are just returned because the person doesn't like the phone, or makes up some random bull**** excuse because they just want a different color or what not.

I'm on a refurb and I haven't had any problems with it :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hammester:
When I was getting refurbs when I had my touch pro 2 it took about 4-5 trips to the sprint store to get a decent quality refurb. I think a lot of it depends on the phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] juned99:
I actually just came from a sprint store after Customer service told me I could get a new phone because of the issues I was having on mine. The phone arrived today. I asked the rep who was activating the phone if it was new or refurb and he said it was refurb. After I got out of the store, I checked and it was new. Now I am wondering if there is way this has been reset because it was not in a box or anything but in a wrapper with piece of paper around it. Anyone know the phone can be reset.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginsOfLewis:
I've been building a theme recently but I keep getting stuck at one point, I'm changing the dock icons in TW but every time I change the ic_launcher_contacts.png and ic_launcher_phone.png in contacts.apk I screw up the apps. They look nice but if I open them they hang and crash. I managed to do it to mms.apk fine so is there anything I'm missing?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpw1970:
Yesterday I changed to 4.0.3 ROM (MooDeD ICS ROM v.5.5 / xUltimate v7.5 Engine) and it works really fine.

My question is how can I change, is it possible to change the MAC-Address for wireless LAN? My wife and me, we both have an ARC. I don't know why, but the ROM changed the MAC-Address of both phones to the same address. So now it's not possible for us to use both phones in the same Network.

Whatsapp or google talk is not working when both are connected to the router.

Is there someone who could help me?

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizXDA83:
have u checked the post section of that rom? maybe you'll find the awnser there
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpw1970:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nextelbuddy:
I used root explorer, made a copy of my original and named it original, then copied over another build.prop from my SGSII to play with MC3 and now the prime wont boot.

Im sure I will have to wait until i get home to use my USB cable but is this something I can fix through ADB?

how can i get the Prime into state that ADB can talk to it since now all i get is a black screen after the Eee pad splash screen?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PM_mobile:
Can you get into the recovery?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nextelbuddy:
yes but it it shows the little android on his back with a red triangle.

is that because im rooted?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hawkysoft:
see if you can get adb access, if so push back an original build.prop...

note... never ever push a build.prop from a different device.. its the most stupid thing you can do.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nextelbuddy:
yes i feel extremely stupid. i hope i didnt brick my prime doing something this retarded.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hawkysoft:
i hope so to bro, although i did read someone messed up his build.prop before on his prime, dunno how that went afterwards... u might need to search for that
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PM_mobile:
If you have access to either adb.. or maybe if you can flash zip files from your recovery you're good to go.

Using Adb:

Running "adb devices" should print your Device #, if it prints nothing, it won't work..

adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop.bootloop

adb pull /system/original.build.prop original.build.prop (>> Edited to original.build.prop as per your last post)

Then if you look at the files on your PC..

build.prop.bootloop would be the one you have right now that's causing loops

build.prop would be your backed up working build.prop.original

Then just push the good one:

adb push original.build.prop /system/build.prop

adb pull/push usage:

adb pull remotefile localfile

adb push localfile remotefile
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
You may be able to go this route and reflash the entire rom if you dont have adb access. From what I understand is you rename the update.zip file to whatever it says in the link to rename to and put on the root of sd card and do the power + volume and go into recovery.

thank you very much i will get to work on this when i get home with my cable. i was just about to post where can i get another one but you posted directions on how to pull my copy that i created which i renamed original.build.prop
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PM_mobile:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nextelbuddy:
i can get the device into APX mode because i installed the APX driver and when i hold VOl UP and Power, my windows 7 computer shows Asus Prime APX under System Devices and it goes away if i unplug it and vice versa plugging it back in however ABD stil shows Blank for connected devices.

not sure what Im doing wrong so im uninstalling my OLD SDK from last year and reinstalling the latest SDK to see if that helps.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nextelbuddy:
ok so my Prime boots into APX mode according to windows 7 Device manager. it shows APX not greyed out.

however despite this, in CMD when i type ADB Devices it shows BLANK and of course any adb commands return no device found.

if i let the Prime reboot into its Boot loop, then ADB Composite appears in Device manager.

if i go to CMD and type ADB Devices, it always says ADB Server out of date killing server and then it shows Daemon starting and then says Failed.

if i try 2 times back to back i eventually get the Device Serial number.

so then i try PULL command and that works no problem

when i try the PUSH command i get an error that says READ ONLY FILE SYSTEM and it fails.

i'm stuck now :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] reNeglect:
I think its bricked... because from the research Swift and I did on a battery mod, he tried a mod I don't remember what and it ended up in boot loop. ADB won't work because of the boot loop it doesn't stay long enough in a booted state for ADB to send/receive the commands. If your still in your return period try for exchange.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] foxmeister:
The file system will be read only by default. You need to remount /system as read/wrire.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Brollie:
Had the same problem back then.

I did a search on the problem at the forum and found this:

"I did this and that worked for me : http://xdaforums.com/show...4&postcount=21"

You need a micro sd and rename a file, easy, poof, fixed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PM_mobile:
As far as adb goes

adb remount

or

adb shell

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nextelbuddy:
Unfortunately i can not remount the system. if i try to remount it says either device not found or error it can not.

its like it never listens long enough..

for example if i type ADB Devices, it will say "ADB Server out of date killing server and then it shows Daemon starting and then says Failed"

if i try that 2-3 times then it will eventually say Devices and list my Serial number.

if i try immediately after that to go to ADB SHELL, it starts and then i type:

adb push original.build.prop /system/build.prop

as soon as i hit enter it says Device not found.

even if i try that command 5 times in a row hoping that it takes one of the times, it does not.

i cant look at that link, its truncated. can you post the full link please?

i tried downloading the .15 firmware from Asus site and pasting it on a micro SD card and putting it in the Prime and then booting into recovery mode but it always shows the android laying down with a red triangle.

i cant remount, i can shell but if i do that then it says no devices connected.

wow, i royally screwed things up with this stupid build.prop like an idiot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PM_mobile:
For the record, once in adb shell it's not adb push anymore..

That'd be

cp /system/original.build.prop /system/build.prop

I doubt this will do you any good, it seems you just can't stay in adb long enough because it reboots.

You don't gave a working custom recovery do you? (like clockwork mod)

I think I've seen people with custom recoveries on their primes.. that'd allow you to adb properly or flash a zip file with your build.prop..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PM_mobile:
Also, Did you look at this thread?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1514088

They have a few unbrick solutions and something about getting adb to work from recovery. Recovery wouldn't bootloop while you're trying to adb..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nextelbuddy:
THIS!!!

i downloaded the latest stock firmware .15 from asus support site. renamed it to

EP201_SDUPDATE.zip and copied to a micdro SD card.

held VOL DOWN + Power and when i saw the white text hit VOL UP twice

and the recovery manager detected the file on the SD card and started flashing.

no more RED triangle android anymore.

im sooo excited this worked and will definitely take more caution in regards to the build.prop file. never realized how much of an integral role it played in the android OS.

thank you very much for all your help and to the others thanks for your help with ADB. even though it didnt work, i played with ADB so much last night and today that i feel much more comfortable with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PM_mobile:
Great! Glad to hear you're not bricked anymore
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nextelbuddy:
well i feel like a brick still lol.

thanks for all your help as well, adb is nice to know and will come in real handy.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuelzero1991:
this problem is found since i flashed ics rom

i used to be rocket rom user, everything works great with r rom v22

then i started to use ics, also started to face the problem

the first ics rom i flashed is midtone2.0, everything is fine but the tethering

when data is in use, the tethering will turn off automatically and immediatly each time i turn it on.

however, when i turn off data...tethering runs normally, but it s useless as no network function...

then i reinstall the rom, but nothing changes

few days after i flashed the team rokcket rom, thought i could solve this issue

however it is still the same

then i restored the rocket rom, then the tethering works fine again with data in use

i repeated flashing ics and restoring and wiping and blah blah blah...nothing takes effect

team rocket rom: same problem

midtone2.0 :same problem

chain fire ics repack: same problem

i've go through a lot of threads but didnt find a solution...anyone got an idea:(?

sorry for my poor eng

Hey folks,

I don't know if everyone already knows it, but DooMLoRD posted this:

a few days ago in the DooMKernel thread.

I think we should try to keep him here.

He did a lot of work for our devices (ICS Alpha ROM, DooMKernel, Advanced Stock Kernel and even more!).

With the ICS update being released soon it would be very good to have him as an awesome dev onboard to get all the nice kernel stuff on ICS.

So what do you guys think?

Can we get enough money together to keeo him?

I don't want to force anyone to do something, I just want to ask if you would donate and how much, like I saw it in other forums.

Then we can do a list and see if we can get enough money.

I'm not 18 so I have to ask my parents if I can donate with their PayPal account and if they allow it to me, I'd be in the club of donators :)

So let's get it started.

Regards,

Flo

Currently we're at 253$! (15.03.20122 18:33)

We almost have it :)

We got 350$ now (16.03.2012 21:44) and DooMLoRD will keep his Arc now! :)

Thanks to all donators and DooMLoRD!

Doom Lord really does deserve it

I've seen his work in the Arc section here and its really good :)

And believe me cellphones and nearly everything cost a LOT LOT more in India

Its like $100-$200 more

The 4S 16GB cost 44,000Rupees here or roughly $880 :O

Rip off i know :/

i cant make a "donate app" as there are many foreign payment related issues in my country (India)... also Google eats most of the revenue :P

(though I will check up and see if it's feasible)

only 5£ :(

hehe just kidding mate! every small bit counts

yups... from what i saw, the Singapore price, i think it will come in India for ~35K INR

please dont do that... MrHassell is the only person getting paid by buying that app... we had desolved the "partnership" almost 3-4 months back... so i am not getting any revenue from it...
