Hi guys,

Okay title might be a little exaggerated haha but...

Recently broke my hand and one handed computing really sucks. So i grabbed my transformer from the closet that I hadn't used in months. It was acting pretty weird, very slow, and just unpleasant to use. I had previously had it rooted and had a kernal and rom on it, but wanted to revert to stock and try ICS. I really forgot how to do everything so I tried to use this guide:

http://theunlockr.com/2011/11/28/how-to-unroot-and-remove-cwm-recovery-on-asus-transformer/

Downloaded both files. and tried to get into clockwork but kept getting a big ! mark. Gooogled around and found that I could download recovery instller from the market. That got me to be able to get into recovery... I did notive that I couldn't get out of recovery and had to do cold boots to get past it. Still tried it though. When I finally got to uploading those files I still couldn't get ouit of recovery and cold booting just freezes.

Can someone PLEASE help me. I really want to be able to use the comptuter without suffering.

I just want to get it working and hopefully get to ICS.

Would not might using a custom rom if there is a stable ICS release u guys recommend.

If someone can step by step me i would be extremely grateful.

Thanks alot.

Alex

How did yo install cwm recovery? You mentioned RecoveryInstaller, I hope you didn't use Acer Recovery Installer.

The RecoveryInstaller for the TF is not available on the market. you have a link to the one you use?

or did yo use ROM Manager to install CWM, what version of CWM do you have, ect.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Alex2x3:
yea i used rom manager sorry

and i think it was 5.5.0.4 cwm

I wonder if anyone could shed some light as to why rom manager is always stalling on fixing permissions on processing com.google.android.youtube.

I am trying to change the screen dpi by editing the prop.build file and then fixing permissions with rom manager but it never completes the process.

Any help would be appreciated thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
Second time this has come up today, so here we go: rom manager is not compatible with the sgs2. For the app to work you need to flash the clockwork kernel/cwm which won't install leaving the app pretty much useless. Use cwm manager it works with most kernels, and you can reboot direct into recovery via the app to fix permissions. Other features can be accessed via the app such as flashing kernels and backing up.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aleq:
Hi All,

I'm preparing my first mod to mount internal storage (previously /mnt/media) to /mnt/sdcard and SD card to a different mount point. It's for B&N Nook Tablet with CM7.2. I'm almost finished, but there is a problem. Even though SD card is now at totally new location /mnt/external_sd, .android_secure is still taken from there, not from internal storage (now /mnt/sdcard). I have checked all initrc scripts, build.prop, vold.fstab, init.d scripts (sd-ext mounting there), but I haven't found anything that would look related.

Does anybody know a little bit more about asec, how does it work? Or any good source of information?

Thanks,

[Dell Streak 7] raidon24:
I have lots of problems with the current Honeycomb (3.2) that I use. Mostly the music-player is the faulty one. I'm not sure, but please inform me if it can also be because of the device (DS7)?

To mention some problems...for example: when I wanna see the menu in the Albums's view it starts flashing, which is quite annoying. Or it sometimes just stops to play the music. And it has also frozen a couple of times and restarted. Hmm... I hope it can be fixed somehow.

And there's an other problem. I simply can't open files which have accents in the filename, so I have to rename all the Hungarian filenames to be able to be read.

So I was wondering if there's an update or something to fix these mistakes.
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Does wiping battery stats too often due to flashing alot of roms reduce stock battery performance ?? Being curious..
[HTC Sensation] dallashigh:
No. The battery stats file is only used for determining battery drain. It does not have an effect on battery life one way or the other.

Thanks and while were at it dont wanna open a new thread is there any script for disabling the charging led ?? It gets very annoying at night in the bedroom :/

[HTC Sensation] PuscH:
wiping battery stats does nothing to your battery and actually the battery stats are wiped automatically every time u fully charge ur phone:

source: Dianne Hackborn - Android Framework Engineer on Google+
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
If the battery stats get wiped every time it hit 100 how one can keep the same battery life daily :o ?
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
The only way to really preserve a battery is to fully discharge, fully charge. Mine was going great until I slacked on it. I started only charging a little, fully charging from 40%, etc etc. Now, I'm on 100% for two hours. Then I drop fast to about 80%. Then I float around 80 to 60% for a few hours but once I go below 60%, boom, 20%. The last 20% go quick too.

Don't get me wrong, my battery life is basically the same, but now it's really inaccurate. If you start to feel this, the best thing you can do is fully charge, fully discharge. Do that a lot, over and over. It might help correct it, might not.

But to reiterate, no, wiping battery stats does nothing.
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Okay thanks alot but can a custom rom really make that much difference on battery life's performance ?? On my old x10 no matter how many scripts tweaks for batttery they would add i would always get same battery life is it the same here ?

Hi, you can remove superuser by deleting /system/app/superuser.apk (I'm assuming SuperSU overwrites /system/bin/su and busybox) and then rebooting. You may use ADB, Root Explorer, ES File Explorer with Root permissions mounting /system as writeable...

As for whether SuperSU is better, that's up to each individual's circumstances. It's best if you read a bit more about the features SuperSU has and then decide on your own: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

So to make a long story short my note fell out of my pocket today while I was helping out at a fundraiser car wash. No major damage done but just a small nick and scratch on the top right corner on the screen and outside. The actual functionality of the phone is fine and I can probably live with it but this small damage is going to eat away at me. So I want to know if I call att and complain about something wrong with my phone will they replace it? I have ensquared insurance and I don't want to use my $75 deductible yet.

And I've had the phone for over 30 days too

Hi!

I've got an SGS2 (i9100) and i tried to update firmware using Kies 2.0 which i installed and downloaded for the first time today.

During the upgrade something happened and all i get on the phone now is the logo i've described.

Kies is trying to do "emergency recovery" and is just sitting at 0% so i'm not sure what that's doing.

I've tried ODIN which seems to pick up the phone on COM4 so i downloaded the I9100XXKI3 file from this thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1449771

and clicked on start and it gets to zImage and just sits there, i'm not sure if it's doing anything but i left it for 30 minutes and nothing happened.

I've also tried OneClickUnbrick from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1153310

and that can't find the phone.

I can get into ODIN mode on the phone (I think that's recovery) by doing volume down, bottom button and power on.

Anyone got any ideas above what i'm trying?

I think i should be able to get hold of a jig/jtag cable beyond that no idea!

Fixed!

Downloaded the latest ODIN

Downloaded the GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI1.tar.md5

Plugged into my work PC which didn't have Kies and it also had a different USB cable (that might have mattered)

Swapped the battery for a fully charged one (the original was on 14%!!)

Phone was off and then plugged into the PC

Let the drivers install

Ran ODIN

ODIN picked up the phone (yellow box)

Only selected PDA and located the above tar.md5

clicked on start

*stuff happened*

got a progress bar on the phone

rebooted

it went into a recovery mode and cleared cache and some other stuff automatically.

rebooted

took about 5mins to boot up

bingo!

Hope this helps anyone else with the same problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Try different USB ports (must use a powered/mainboard port), different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone), different versions of Odin (search for them), redownload the package you were trying to flash and test the package with 7Zip, IZarc, WinRar or similar to ensure there are no damaged files in it.

If those don't work, try another PC.

If you can get into download mode & Odin recognises the phone (yellow in COM panel), you can almost always save it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bewA:
Thanks MistahBungle.

Shall i forget using Kies then?

As this phone doesn't need to be rooted and do you think the data on the phone is gone now or if i manage to reflash something it was just upgrade what's there?

thing is i can't remember what version it was trying to upgrade to. i know it was on 2.3.5 which i think is XXKI3.

I seem to remember the battery was pretty low as well, can that cause a problem?

If u had ur phones drivers properly installed on ur pc, u can dl a program called Heimdall one click unbrick. Look up how 2 use it on YouTube. Works great with any Android device that gets the "phone-triangle-pc" screen.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yeah Kies is rubbish. Bin it. Also, when you're using Odin, check Windoze task manager & make doubly absolutely 100000% sure that Kies & any of it's processes are not running. If they are, kill them. You need the drivers that come with Kies to use Odin, but Kies & Odin running at the same time does not work.

Unless the stock rom you flash specifically wipes, you might retain your data (I hope you made regular backups).

Yeah low battery could easily cause a flash to barf.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bewA:
Thank you again!

Is there version of the stock firmware you know that won't wipe.

From what i can tell if i tick repartition and provide a pit file then this will dump everything so maybe if i can not apply those then in theory that won't wipe anything? i'm not sure if that's accurate logic.

I've downloaded this:

GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI1

and i'm downloading

I9100XXKI3.rar

I'm slightly worried about grabbing the right PIT file as i've seen people flash the one for a G version or plain 9100 on the wrong version and it's bricked the phone.

I know the one i'm trying to repair is just I9100 (that's what it says behind the battery and in ODIN mode).

I'm more of a Galaxy Nexus abuser so the the SGS2 stuff is new territory.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bewA:
it also doesn't help that majority of stuff i've been finding used to be on some file sharing sites and they've either had the site shut down and panic'd and now only allowing downloads unless you own the account!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Do not tick repartition or touch anything to do with PIT !

Clear ? Good.

If you use firmware download from links on XDA there will be only one file which you flash in PDA section of Odin, no need to touch PIT. Ever.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
