[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sryland:
so, I got CWM recovery on the tab, but now, I get the "couldn't open directory" even though I have the files placed correctly in the right structure on the SD card:

\clockworkmod\backups\2012-05-06.22.48.58\

any ideas
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ekinnee:
Didn't mean to leave you hanging. Did you try advanced restore?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sryland:
yes, now I'm just hosed. anyone know how to remove cwm from the tab 7.7...

I guess a perfect file would be an uninstall to the recovery.img file used to install cwm...

thanks,

Scott
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] nicduim:
Here are my ideas but please note I'm an amateur with android.

1: I'd imagine you can heimdall back a stock recovery.img but it's a matter of finding the recovery file online

The recovery img might be the same as the p6800 but please don't try it without someone who knows how to verify this!!

2: Is this internal sdcard giving the error opening? Or external, cwm reports internal sd as my actual microsd card.

3: Permissions on the actual sdcard? Try to cp the recovery to internal memory with adb when in cwm.

Just some ideas as we don't have an actual odin file or support on the verizon tab.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ekinnee:
Inside that nandroid should be a stock recovery.img.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sryland:
good ideas, but I'm not sure how to do #3

as for number two, I've tried every variation, regular recovery, advanced, advanced from internal, recover from internal... all get the "file cant be found" error.

ekinnee,

thanks, i saw a recovery.img file there, but was wary as to it being stock, or possibly with cwm... i'll try to push it over...

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

nope, no luck... heimdall 1.1 has a recovery.img option, but heimdall 1.3.2 does not. and adb isn't seeing my device, but heimdall 1.3.2 does... as does odin...

It's like i have half a solution everywhere! AAAHHHH!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ekinnee:
You can't "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] nicduim:
Well no adb in recovery sucks. I know I get adb in Cwm.

There's a cmdline for heimdall I remember seeing a while ago where you can flash recovery recovery.img and you might need to specify the partition. There's a thread in the dev section listing partitions
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] AlpineMan:
How is everyone installing CWM 5.0.2.7 into their Verizon Tab 7.7? I tried via Odin 1.85 a few times and all times wouldn't work. Odin says successful (PASS) w/ green light, but when I try going to recovery, I still see the stock recovery.

I just got this tablet last week. Not sure if it's different than the earlier shipments of the Verizon Tab 7.7 which this method works on. I dunno, just guessing.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] digitalmatrixio:
I think the new system is screwing with it. I went through hell pushing about two dozen stock apk and odex files back to my tablet trying to troubleshoot a reboot issue but when I went to put cwm back on to downgrade after running the update files from electron73 to put the device back on the stock upgrade path noticed that it would no longer install.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] AlpineMan:
That must be it then. I recall something similar happened to the Sprint Samsung Galaxy SII. A new method had to be created because CWM recovery would get overwritten by the system.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] SolusCado:
I downloaded this file and have copied it to the root of my sdcard. I'm in CWM, and trying to select "advanced restore", but it gives me an error saying no files found. Should this file be in a directory of some sort?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] FateZero:
CWM looks at your internal card in a folder called clockworkmod -> Backups and then in the backup folder you should place your backup folder that is labeled with the date it was made unless you renamed it. Move it there and try again it should see it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] SolusCado:
:) That worked; thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] FateZero:
No Problem, I'm always happy to help when I can
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
current synopsis

So at this point is it still good to go with flashing CWM recovery.img to the recovery partition? Assuming rooted tab. Or is it not persistent?

Also is UT expected then that ota updates will fail with the custom recovery?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gilbot:
The custom recovery locerra built in the development section for the SCH-i815 is not persistent for non-CM /stock it seems. It will stick if you flash cwm and immediately boot into cwm afterwards (not allowing the stock ROM to boot) wipe and install CM9 in one shot. I would not flash locerra's cwm if you have no intention of loading and keeping the experimental CM9 builds he posted until its figured out why it's not persistent.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
That's what I was interpreting from the CM9 threads and references to installing different versions of CWM. Thanks for the heads up.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gilbot:
After a bit of searching I think I figured out why the SCH-i815 CWM will not stick on Stock ROMS after the FD01 update.

The FD01 update places the file "recovery-from.boot.p" in the /system folder which overwrites CWM upon boot. To stop this from occurring, you will need a root enabled file explorer and rename the "recovery-from.boot.p" file to "recovery-from.boot.p.bak" or, alternatively, you can delete the "recovery-from.boot.p" file.

CWM should stick after that. I'll test it out and report back.

[EDIT] Success! make sure to rename the "recovery-from.boot.p" file or else CWM will not be persistent!

Hi, please exist something like "stock" version of GB alarm application for ICS?

I'm not satisfied with default alarm app from ICS (Infinitum 2.2), because I	missed few function.

I know few alternatives (i.e. Gentle Alarm, or Alarm clock extreme, Alarm Droid), but...

1) Tasker didn't recognize alarm

or

2) Widgets didn't recognize time of next alarm (i.e. BITS)

or

3) They don't have timer or stopwatch function

or

4) They don't have "soft alarm"

So please let me know if exist some solution for it (i.e. Stock from SGS2??).

Thanks in advance

Ugh....this is the Galaxy NEXUS General. Not Galaxy S II or III.

Most of us just got this phone and are locked into a contract....please...stop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Lets count down to when this thread gets moved to Android General because it has 100% nothing to do with the Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:

bow chicka wow wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
Just because you are locked to a contract doesn't mean you can't sell the gnex and put the money toward an SIII.

I know a lot of people that cycle out their phones just by selling them even on contact.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
this is what i do.

why does that timer counting down from 13hours? i thought the samsung event is in may.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
true. They are probabely gonna release a little bit of information too keep the public engaged.

A lot of people are considering an upgrade if it's worth it. A lot of us got this phone when it was released in December. I got this phone in canada off contract but my iphone contract is eligible for hardware upgrade in 20 days.

Chill out people.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
If they are considering it... they can read about it in forums for the phone, or in gossip or General forums. This is the

Galaxy Nexus

Forum. This thread doesn't belong here any more than a post about making blueberry muffins.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Right so I sell my phone for what...$650?

-$375 contract fee

That leaves me with $275 for a GS3 (probably off contract) I'd have to come up with maybe 300-400 bucks? Sorry. I'm not giving up my phone (which is amazing) for a bloated touchwiz version of the same thing on a useless quad core processor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Don't kid yourself. Your phone ain't worth $650 lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
why do you have to cancel your contract to buy a new phone? just make sure the new phone you buy is compatible with your current carrier.

but if you do have to cancel and switch carriers then just sign another contract and get a new subsidized phone and use the cash from selling your nexus for your early cancellation fee.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salata1500:
if i watch a 720p video on galaxy s2 does it open only 480p or is the maximum 800p.what would be the difference between a 480 and a 720p video.thx and sorry if stupid question
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beston94:
Well I think it will open the video at 720p, however it will not show the full quality as it lacks the pixels. The difference between a 480p video and a 720p video is that , the 480p has the resolution of 480*640 (usually 4:3) and the 720p has the resolution of 1280*720. Obviously the 720p video will be much nicer :D

Have a good day :D
[General Questions and Answers] theUsualSuspexx:
quick question...I have both the sprint and Tmo variants of the galaxy s2 and have a chance to pick up a skyrocket at a decent price. Which galaxy s2 do I all prefer? I originally picked up the t989 but it appears to be the sidekick 4g's bastard cousin and gets the least support due to the one off processor. Who wins the s2 fight? Btw any suggestions on new apps/roms/kernels whatever to try out?
[General Questions and Answers] MultiLockOn:
Stay away from the skyrocket unless you neeeeeeeeeed lte that badly. It uses a snapdragon chip, which blows. The normal galaxy s2 uses an exynos chipset which is very good. Get the sprint model, make sure its not the skyrocket and youre set
[General Questions and Answers] machelm:
my d710 of galaxy s2 is very good.!
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
In terms of device performance, definitely Sprint's Epic 4G Touch. It has all the same hardware as the international S2, plus an LED notification light, 4.5 inch screen and WiMax 4G, and a bigger battery. The Skyrocket has the same processor as the 989 because Exynos doesn't do LTE just like it doesn't do T-Mobile's funky AWS 3G frequency.

The Epic 4G Touch and i777 (AT&T original S2) are the best. Out of those two the AT&T model is the best in terms of ROM support, but the Epic 4G Touch is better because of the bigger screen, LED notification and bigger battery. The AT&T version can run all of the i9100 ROMs with some tweaking and it has NFC, which the Epic 4G Touch doesn't.

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Garockt:
Well I tried it.. you can do a a couple of stuff, but I don't think it is actually useful for developing qualitative Apps.

In my mind this Application is more useful for schools, where teachers want to show their students how easy it is to develop stuff, or "the new generation of Coding Editors"..

I mean sure, you can create some interesting apps and, if you put effort in it, might even useful Apps(!) but for me it looks like something you can play with when you are bored..

But it might be interesting for those who are new to WP7-programming or are new to programming at all..

But nice app anyway!

Here is a guide to port MIUI gingerbread roms to any device.

Requirements

CM 7 rom for your device

MIUI rom of any other device having similar resolution as your device

First extract your CM 7 and the other device MIUI rom in different folders.

Open the system folder in the CM 7 rom and delete the app,media and framework folder

Now open the system folder in the extracted MIUI rom and copy the app,media and framework folder and paste them in the system folder in the extracted CM 7 rom.

Now make a zip by selecting the contents of the CM7 rom.don't select the folder.

Now reboot into recovery

Wipe all

Disable signature verification

Install rom and enjoy the beauty of MIUI:):)

This rom will have the bugs present in your CM 7 rom

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RubenRybnik:
Hey all ... Not new to the rooted Android scene( have the Epic 4G Touch ) but just picked up my Transformer Prime today ... Man what a great device, especially with the dock.

So naturally after installing all my apps, I went straight to XDA to figure out how to root it :) Hopefully this is where I can get a little help. After doing some post reading it seems things are a bit different with the Prime Vs. my E4GT phone. I guess my questions below are what I'm left with:

1.) What exactly is the difference between "Unlocked" and rooted( I know what rooted is, but not unlocked.

2.) I found the thread below on how to root, but it says it doesn't work with 9.4.2.21 which is on the tablet now. What is the best way( Read safest way, I don't mind doing extra work for safety ) to get root / busybox installed? I found a stock .21 rooted / busybox ROM on the first page of the dev thread, would flashing this be the best way? How do I unlock to get ready to flash it?

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427125

I guess those are my only questions for now, unless someone wants to drop some tips that I may need to know. Really looking forward to getting this device all setup, thanks :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
unlocked means it unlocks the bootloader so you can flash custom roms/kernels/etc..Be warned though, unlocking your prime sends your serial number to Asus and your warranty will be voided. no way around it.

now for root on the latest .21, there is currently no regular method THST I know of here. Asus closed up the exploit on last update. The only way to get rooted ATM is to unlock your prime and flash a rooted rom or root packages. there's more details on that in the prime developement section. take a look in there. I'm not sure if someone has been working on a root exploit for latest update. you can check the various root. method threads in developement to see if any progress has been made.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RubenRybnik:
Ok ... So I need to unlock it, and then ROMs say I need CWM, I guess I can install CWM without root? Then flash a rooted ROM... I'll look into that, but just want to make sure.

Also, I see that people are unlocking with "Asus Tool" is this an official Asus utility or something I'll find in the Dev forum? Saw that about the warranty also, thanks for letting me know, but I can't resist the temptation to unlock / root, so I'll go with it. Pre .21 did rooting require unlocking? Or was unlocking optional?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jlm123hi:
reply

yes it is an official Asus tool. It is under the utilities on the download page for the transformer prime software on the Asus global website. I would put a link but their global site is a bit buggy for me at the moment and isn't responding. :( yes Unlocking was optional prior to .21. However I wouldn't unlock it just yet. If I were you (I'm in the same situation) I would wait for someone to find an exploit. And yes you can install CWM without root. You have to unlock your prime then hook it up to your computer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RubenRybnik:
Ok ... thanks, resisting the urge to root it is difficult, lol ... maybe I can just hold out a day or two and see if one comes out. How are the custom ROMs for this device? I know for the E4GT their really nice, speed up the device add functionality( CM9 ) are the ROMs for the Prime mature, or still a work in progress? Do most people here flash a custom ROM, or just root it? Learning more by the minute, haven't left the forums since I got home with the Prime, lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Subsonic44:
You may want to look into a 3rd party warranty such as squaretrade. You can search and read about it here in the forum. I purchased one to provide a semblance of a back up warranty before I unlocked. Now running Virtuous Prime 9.4.2.21 v1 and couldn't be happier with the performance. Also looks like ASUS is currently validating an new rom update so something newer may be out any day. Good luck!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RubenRybnik:
Thanks for the tip, I'll def. check out SquareTrade, would be good to have a backup. Yea, was looking at VirtuousPrime as well as some of the others. So reading the instructions, I only need Root and CWM to install the ROM no unlocking needed correct( If an exploit is found for .21 to root without unlock ) and then once I install the ROM it'll come with root obviously so I wouldn't void my warranty. Is this assumption correct?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Subsonic44:
From what I understand, you will need to unlock to install CWM. I'm sure others will correct me if I'm wrong here. :confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keion:
Yes. Although it is easier to install if you are both unlocked and rooted.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Subsonic44:
Thanks for verifying that for me jdeoxys. I'm really glad I unlocked/rooted when I was on .15. Since the OP is on .21, he will have to work a bit harder, but I still think its worth it if you don't mind giving up ASUS warranty. But then again, I haven't had one bit of problem with my tfp.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RubenRybnik:
Thanks for the info all... I'm now officially unlocked, rooted and Roming with the Virtuous Prime ROM. :) Very happy so far, everything seems to be running fine. Stuck with a "stockish" custom ROM for now until I get used to the device, then I'll try CM9 or AOKP after some research.

Now, off to find a good Launcher( Apex or Nova maybe ) and other goodies :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Seraphious:
Nova launch ftw
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RubenRybnik:
I bought Nova Prime, and like it. But the release cycle on Apex is much faster, and seems to be ahead of Nova right now, using Apex currently on the tablet and my phone, liking that a lot.

BTW, what is "Corner Stone" AOKP it looks like it allows you to tile apps? Right now I'm using the basic AOKP, can you get that functionality without cornerstone, or is that what Corner Stone is specifically for?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
cornerstone version is more of a true multitasking rom. its not just tiles, per se. the best way to see what it looks like in action is to look at the video he has in that thread. same person who ported AOKP to prime made that cornerstone version also. or even better, just flash the build and see how you like it. if you don't like, you can always flash back to something else ;)

I've yet to unlock my prime but all these cool roms like AOKP, WSG, Virtuous, & Primalicious are very tempting. I always check out their threads though for once I do unlock, ill be up to speed. Leary of voiding my warranty just yet. I'LL eventually unlock but im in no rush. The roms will mature and be better once I cross that bridge.

Didn't you just recently unlock & flash? how are you liking it? which ones have you tried out so far? Usually to get a good feel for a rom you have to run it for at least a few days or a week or so. Team Eos nightlies looks interesting also. AOKP seems to be the most feature packed one though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RubenRybnik:
Thanks for the info ... yep just bought the TFP yesterday, and unlocked and flashed Primalicious. Then flashed AOKP build 1.2 then 1.3 earlier today. So far I'm loving it, everything seems to be stable, but like you said usually takes a couple days of use before you really know.

Looked at cornerstone, looks great ... I'll probably end up flashing that when it gets the latest AOKP build ported over :)
