[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Well, in this case, it sounds like your Flexreaper install destroyed your recovery image. Probably messed with the bootloader, as it is becoming more frequent these days. Basically there are at least 2 versions of it, one for ICS bootloader, and the other for HC bootloader.

If you can get your Wifi working, you can probably run the AcerRecovery from the market, and try installing a recovery image. If not, here is the author's thread where you can download it and install through a file manager.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1588189

Should be able to get a CWM recovery back. If you get devblk errors, try installing RA Recovery.

Also, make sure you are still rooted.

And from what I remember, the recovery app will tell you that it's incorrect version, but I've read where it says to ignore it. Seems this happens when coming off the ICS Beta's.
[Acer Iconia A500] bfoster:
ok

I got the tablet to go back to its original software(not rooted) out of box. But when i try to load into the recovery still tells me the same thing and will not allow me to get into the recovery. And when i try to use acer recovery it still says that error message even with the link you provided me. I was able to gain Wifi back and i can update just unable to flash a Rom or root. I don't know what to do i think what you said makes sense about the boot loader being fubared. But i dont know what to do to change that.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
There is nothing in the Flexreaper rom that changes the bootloader.

It will boot or it won't,

Same with recovery , there is not one thing that will replace or change your recovery.

You posted that you didn't even know that you did a full wipe or not, so maybe you flashed something that you didn't know?

I flash rom everyday for testing and never had big problems with my test roms.

The problems you described in your first post are all caused by not following installation instructions.

If I was you restore your tablet to stock and start all over again.

I have purchased an LG Optimus LTE P930 phone from someone on Kijiji and the phone is locked to bell but when I go to throw a different sim card in to unlock it I get "this phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked". is there anyways to fix this issue?
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
Yeah, you need to find someone who can get your NCK unlock code. I got mine from a guy on eBay for like $3. Then dial 2945#*930# and enter the unlock code you are given. Easy peasy.

You might try these guys.
[LG Nitro HD] nateayers:
it does not give me an option at type in a NCK code as soon as it turns on with wrong sim it just pop's up with that same error
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
I don't understand, can you not dismiss the error and continue using the phone and then type in that number I gave you? If all else fails, maybe you can remove your SIM card and dial the number that way? As I recall, I had 0 issues unlocking my phone and I didn't even have a SIM card in it when I did it if I remember correctly...
[LG Nitro HD] chrisrotolo:
A "freeze" usually happens after too many NCK attempt, usually 10.

what you would be looking for is an "unfreeze" code.

But if your Bell SIM still works it sounds like it is a service provider lock -SPCK- which is similar to network locked.

There may be a dialer code to reset attempt count, may also be able to binary edit it.

I reocmmend trying a site like this http://www.unlockallcellular.com/lg-nitro-hd-unlock-code-p-198068.html

there may be afew other, even on ebay. I would get with one that provides a guarantee. Usually invloves taking a video of you entering code to prove if it works or not. If not they will refund your money.

be patient as it could take a day or two.

I once paid $70 to unlock my dell streak 7.

Cheers.

My at&t pantech p6020 phone is saying that sim is locked and when I try to unlock it it says the incorrect unlock code was entered ten times this phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked. What should I do? help me please
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Haadkoe:
A lot of the time Face Unlock doesn't work as expected. Light too low, don't recognize you, etc.

I was just thinking, perhaps if the screen borders lit up bright white instead of displaying the wallpaper it would shine more light on our faces, thus improving the facial recognition functionality.

Since many of us use dark wallpapers, the screen doesn't light up our faces all that much in dark environments. Perhaps making the screen light up as much as possible when the ffc starts would be a benefit.

Granted, stand alone led's or even IR emitters on the display side of the device might have been a better choice for Samsung, but if we can work with what we've got, why not?

Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] svi-kmb:
We agree - great idea!

The face login product FastAccess for Windows already does this, and FastAccess Anywhere for Android intentionally has as many white screens as possible. The latest Android version even turns the screen brightness all the way up (temporarily) for that very reason. Interested in late stage beta? Contact betausers[at]sensiblevision[dot]com. Thanks!

What is project kitchen sink?

Its cm9, miui, cna, and aokp in one installer with all the options, tweaks, modifications, and changes you could ever want.

Best part is you get to choose what you want and don't want. You can even change options and try different setups anytime without multiple cwm zips.

Status: 1.3

What's in it so far?

too much for listing at this point. Basically the kitchen sink

What's gotta be done?

Testing

More stuff

Aokp

translations

Polish

More tweaks

requests

htc multtask

modded google maps

-Tablet mod

downloads

cool facts for fellow devs!

900 line installer script

900 line aroma script

close to 2000 , ; and other annoying syntax bits that could go wrong

3 full aosp roms

total of 700mb shoved into 350mb

well over 150 test zips(stupid syntax errors)

by far the most bipolar project to date.

Also requests are nice especially during the building period
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
The first rule of KITCHEN SINK is...YOU DO NOT WIPE BEFORE FLASHING!

The second rule of KITCHEN SINK is....YOU DO NOT WIPE BEFORE FLASHING!

It NEEDS a rom installed on it for touch to work! :)

Gonna work to keep the MIUI portion as up to date as possible as quickly as possible....MIUI.us releases on Friday, we usually release ours Sat/Sun.

Plan to work on updates being a small flashable zip with what's new so it's not a full new install....update will contain mostly have options

If you have an idea for a theme, ask bytethegroove...he's done a great job with the buuf version. We're looking to get some more ideas.

Hopefully, though, with this coming week's update, MIUI will finally fix themes.

So, before mentioning it, read....THEMES DO NOT FULLY WORK right now through the app...it will theme parts, but not all. Only full theme is the buuf that byte did at this time. :)

Note: CM9 Music doesn't fully work in MIUI. MIUI has integration of Music app in the notification bar as well as lockscreen, so if you choose to use cm9's music app...it may bork
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
will be keeping aokp, gummy, and CNA (if the Dev becomes active again otherwise just cm9 base updates, fixes, and mods) up to date and on par with the threads themselves.... if not better with all the extra options in the sink.... feel free to hit me up in any of the individual threads for help on the ROM you are using just be sure to mention if its coming from the sink or not... hope you guys like what this is becoming I know I do......... but....

above all play smart make back ups and enjoy..... thanks

[Motorola Photon 4G] MobileAllStar:
Cannot freakin wait boys!

So... What types of requests can we make Jokester???

I've been looking forward to you actually completing your ics build so you can get into your mad scientist tweaks with speed and themes and whatever other magic you have up your sleeve... Obviously that probably won't be until around June when we have an official ics Rom drop for our phones... So what exactly can we request for this upcoming MASTERPIECE of flashgasmic goodness???

Haven't you tried the CM music app? With the right headphones its the best sounding player available with the DSP settings they have.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:

[Motorola Photon 4G] tetrabyt:
OK.. ive trying for a few hours now. Miui just will not boot for me. Just cycles thru the miui.us boot animation with custom install. I tried default and it wouldn't finish the install got an error about a prop file. Tried cm9 and it installed. But got that phone fc after boot and then no service thing, u get when installing a clean cm9. I saved the miui log if you want it. Just tell me how to send.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Was this a flashover with "partial wipe" over cm9? If so, that may be your issue. Any time you go to MIUI from CM9 or reverse, you need to do a full wipe...(be sure to backup your data with something like Titanium first). I know joker did some work on the syntax in the Meta files after I upped the rom with working MIUI portion to him....looks like some of that may be messing with MIUI. I'll work at it today and see what I can do.

Did you save the log from arora? That's the most likely way we can figure out what went wrong. If so, if you can up link it here (not paste the txt), that would be great. Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] CapnCrunchey:
The same thing happened to me so I just nandroided back
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
OK the bottom bar seems to be attached to the wallpapers right above the soft key options.

let us know if the no wallpapers gets rid of softkeys
[Motorola Photon 4G] thatguy07:
no wallpapers got rid of softkeys

It may have been the combination of softkeys and notorious keyboard that caused FC. im not sure. I switched to the default keyboard and no more FCs

i've deleted both kitchen sinks from my server and im about to upload a fixed version, keep in mind we are still in the testing phases.

Cool man. Im doing a restore cause I wasnt able to flash again to get rid of the auto brightness issue so I'll wait for the fixed zip. Will it be named the same or have a diff version #?

[Motorola Photon 4G] Gotroot:
Will this fix the bottom soft keys cause I tried every way to install the new installer and the soft keys still showed up?I am not a big fan of the bottom soft keys
[Motorola Photon 4G] thatguy07:
read a few post up bud. on the installer with the soft key problem it was including wallpapers that caused the soft keys to show up. thats one of the things joker was fixing. but you could just reflash without wallpapers selected and your softkey issue is solved.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Gotroot:
I could be wrong but i thought i tried that lol but no worries joker always does a great job !!!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] thatguy07:
The new one is uploading now so you can give that a try when its done

are you sure your deselecting the correct wallpaper? its not extra wallpapers, its the selection directly above the soft key option.

If you can figure it out give us a run down of everything your selecting and we can help figure it out for you.

Ya np i think it was more of e being retard lol....

[Motorola Photon 4G] mr_wrong_0:
+1 on webtop. Maybe a way to make it look more like ICS on a tablet when HDMI is connected. Just a thought.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
I see the ball is really rolling on Kitchen sink. Newest post has a ton of options with more to come I'm sure. This is a flashers dream. so many options you literally must flash multiple times just to see what you like all in one build. Testing Miui build with standard settings on my daily and going to use every new option I can on my cm9 phone. Mmmmm Creammy

[edit] Miui didn't boot. Got stuck on Bootamation, Trying again

[editx2] I selected mostly standard settings other then the new keyboard and got stuck, selected default installation and booting now. Not sure what option breaks boot on Miui but it's in there. Flashing CM9 on other phone soon as she boots ;P
[Motorola Photon 4G] Gack69:
+1 too. Webtop or Tablet UI when connected would be AMAZING! Got my $59 Atrix lapdock (ebay ftw) earlier this week...easily modded it to fit my photon, but I soooo love ICS/CM9, that I don't think I can go back to an early MotoRom just for Webtop. I am returning to school, starting my graduate program this summer and just would LOVE to not have to tote my aging laptop (battery now only last 30 mins) and this Lapdoc fits the bill great! Sooo thin and light and battery last soooo long.

Tx for any consideration on this!
[Motorola Photon 4G] cornelious2:
Probably not as the photon is 2.5 ghz only I believe.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MikeyLee:
After flashing 1.11 the display settings now stay as before they were not. I also did not install ICS reloaded this time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
That would suck if that's true. The inspire was one of the earliest phones to support wireless N and even it could support 5ghz. I have 4 other android devices with wireless N and all of them have the feature to change the frequency from 2.4 to 5 or auto. The photon is one of the newest out of my collection. But I cant find solid enough evidence that says the photon can't. From what I've read 5ghz is one of the basic features of wireless N and anything that supports wireless N supports all its basic features

Edit: the inspire had a hack. But was said to not being able to support 5ghz bands but could detect and connect to them (odd wording) also they said the atrix could also support 5ghz bands but was unsure if it was a hack or naturally supported. The epic 4g touch is one of the only nontablet android devices that comes with the setting stock
[Motorola Photon 4G] flame7:

[Motorola Photon 4G] killersiafu:
Just upgraded to CM9 0.5.1 from 0.5 using KS and custom options. (stock kernel, apex launcher, cm9 boot animation, stock 2d libs, cm9 music). It all installed fine... After it booted up, I went into root explorer to swap apex out for the newer beta build. Root explorer hung for quite awhile when I clicked the 'Mount as R/W' option but eventually came back and I was able to swap out the apex apk. Then when I tried to back out of the root explorer, it hung on a black screen and the force close box came up. I told it to force close, which cause the the phone to reboot.

After the reboot, a box popped up saying 'Unfortunately, Bluetooth Share has stopped'.

Never seen that one before... I'm still getting things setup so I'll let you know if I run into any other issues. Keep up the good work though... that KS installer is pretty damn slick.

Losing battery rather quickly on 0.5.1 with the latest kitchen sink.

On 800mhz under clock -50v

No idea what's going on, lol.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
Over on the e4gt forum some people were reporting faster battery drain when underclocking a kernel that's been overclocked. Jokers stock cm9 kernel is overclocked to 1.3 so this might be the same issue.. try downloading stock clock kernel 1ghz and then underclock.

Could be completely wrong. This was from reports on a completely different device and was not proven just from user experience.

Edit: underclocking below 1ghz on an overclocked kernel
[Motorola Photon 4G] MikeyLee:
Just wanted to report that the display settings are still not sticking. I disabled rotation and it re enables itself. Change sleep to one minute and it still sleeps at 15 seconds. Also auto brightness will not stay checked. Not using ICS reloaded as I was before so issue isn't related to that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thomasmatt25:
So I flashed 1.11 last night and did a custom install. I went for CM9, default GPS, ICS Reloaded, and chose Apex launcher instead of all of them. As soon as phone rebooted, every 1-2 seconds Apex launcher kept FC. Reflashed 1.11 CM9 using default install and when phone booted up, everything seemed to be fine except for my signal strength showed no bars and a "X" in them. I restored a Nand of 5.0 and all is gravy. Just thought I would give my two cents of the Kitchen sink. It looks titties and will def be jumping on once some of the kinks are worked out. Great job Bill and Joker!
[Motorola Photon 4G] MikeyLee:
Just want to report and I dont know if it's related to touch or not but several settings will not stick when you select them. Brightness, rotation, keyboard when trying to install or select a differnt default, etc..

I found that true as well. So what I did is checked the settings I want I reboot before I move off that screen

Not sure if anyone has had this error or not. also i get random jumps in battery drain.. i will be at 60% or under, then randomly it will jump to 40 with nothing running or maybe just music from google music streaming to BT... but its not related to that i i dont think bc i have it running most of day and just randomly at least 2 times per charge it will jump down alot and i cant find a reason why (using jokers kernel). besides that its real smooth and GPS finds faster than ever, BT stays connected with little to no drops for me. Over all GREAT job guys!
