[Acer Iconia A500] AstroMag:
I'm certainly not a developer, but I can tell that's what Acer has to update the program recommends ICONIA TAB Update Enhancement, which is responsible for finding the firmware update (firmware) that runs Android 4.0.3 and install it. For installation, you must follow to Google Play and install or upgrade the application. Acer company claims that after installing the application will detect your tablet once a new firmware and it will download and then install.

Why do not some of the plates are updated using standard tools, the company does not comment on the Acer.

I was recovering my backed up stock rom( came from cm9) and I received an error saying "format rfs device failed on system" or something to that effect while trying to restore it. Once that happened, the back was off, and the battery came out so I tried to boot back into recovery....I get the SAMSUNG logo, soft key lights come on, phone goes black, then back to the samsung logo.

I cannot boot into recovery, do a normal boot, all I can do is download mode. Where should I go from here?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
You went from bml to mtd... you CANNOT RESTORE BML NANDROIDS ON MTD. Please read bout things before flashing things.

On a helpful note.. you will need to unbrick your device by odining back to stock. Give me a second and ill link you the how to. If you feel incompetent then I offer unbricking services if you would like via teamviewer7.

Also you don't post questions in general... there is a q&a forum for questions.

http://devphone.org/files/epic4g/Odin3_v1.61epic.pit.zip

http://devphone.org/files/epic4g/SPH-D700-EC05-8gb-REL.tar

download all of those files

# Install Samsung drivers (if you haven't already)

# Extract and open up Odin

# Place the pit file in the PIT slot and the .tar file in the PDA slot

# MAKE SURE ONLY "AUTO REBOOT" IS CHECKED

# Boot phone into download mode (Turn the phone off and hold '1' key and power button)

# Connect USB cable

# Click start now sit back and wait for it to finish

after you do that you should be on stock EC05 and then you can do the one click root again
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomasskull666:
That'll do it, but I would recommend a newer tar as EC05 is an old Froyo ROM :-)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qccoles:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomasskull666:
Sure, xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1599752

It's a leak but it'll work just fine. If you're gonna be flashing over to an MTD ROM it won't matter anyway.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qccoles:
After doing this, what kind of root method will I have to use?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomasskull666:
Hmm I'm not really sure but I'm almost positive all of the current ROMs contain a kernel with root. You could flash CWM through Odin and then flash a ROM or a BML kernel if you plan on staying stock and you'll be rooted. I'll get you a link to a CWM tar here in a sec.

EDIT: flash this in Odin after you get back to stock:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1357655

You'll find the link further down in the post for the .tar file. If you want to go to CM9/AOKP/other MTD TW ROM, most of them will automatically flash the MTD compatible CWM. This one that I linked is for BML ROMs only.

Hope this helps!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomasskull666:
Ah good catch, yes definitely!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LORDFIRE00:
once you odin back to stock and root, just flash a zip version a bml deodexed rom. there is stock fc09 deodexed that is bml. make sure you have repartition checked and don't forget to include the pit file in odin before you start the process. also make sure you do not use the stock cable that came with the phone. use a blackberry data cable if you have one available. others wise something similar.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notsosmrtgeek:
I believe re partition auto checks when you put the pit file in. But either way make sure its checked. I forgot it once and it wasn't pretty

[LG Optimus 2x] xswistaqx:
For quite a while my headset button hasn't been working. I thought that maybe it was broken so I bought a new one - a-Jays One+ but unfortunately it doesn't work either (the a-Jays Headset control doesn't register button presses).

Surprisingly my sister's HTC headset works just fine. So my question is where could the problem be located if anyone had seen similar malfunction.

I'm running CM7 Temasek's KANG 95 with newest EtANa kernel (no OC).
[LG Optimus 2x] rachit_rox:
Even I have the same problem...

I am running CM9 with Spica's RC-1R

Previously it was working fine in my Stock Rom and CM7.
[LG Optimus 2x] taboo_:
I'm running CM7.2 (but it also worked when I ran CM7.1) and I believe I have the same kernel as well.

My headset buttons work fine so far with a number of different headsets, however ONLY when you have a headset monitoring app installed.

If you haven't already installed an app search the play store for an app called "Jays headset control". It is an app made specifically for the Jays headsets but will work with any headset with a button.

If you are already using it then I have no idea and I'd say you're **** outta luck.

Also it's worth noting that due to a limitation in the O2x's hardware only single button headsets work. Headsets with a "forward, back and play" button will all register as pressing the "play" button.

One problem I do however have is the headset app will catch all my button presses however if I press the button once to pause my music and then wait more than about 10seconds to press the button again while the phone is "asleep" it will not catch any of my clicks and restart my music. I will physically have to pull my phone out, unlock it and press play with the app. So if anyone knows anything about that I'd appreciate some insight as it never used to do it.
[LG Optimus 2x] xswistaqx:
I used Jays headset control and it didn't help. That's the weirdest things because it doesn't register the a-Jays headset clicks but does register the HTC headset ones.

This may sound super noob but my phone was having some neglegible issues before I did the FD24 OTA update as per QBKing77's video. Anyway, now I can't open my gallery for some reason or use my camera. Major deal breaker for me.

How can I flash back to EL29 safely? I don't have root and have not rooted this device.

New to this forum. I'm thinking of selling my nexus s for a RAZR, or RAZR MAXX. I'm seeing a lot of talk in regards to the different variants of the phone ie GSM vs CDMA.

That helps explain the difference between the two.

The RAZR on their website appears to be GSM. I would call Rogers and verify which model you need before purchasing from a third party, though.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, referring to your original question, the Verizon RAZR is CDMA, not GSM.

hi guys,

i have flashed only 30+ roms untill today :) but i still don't really know some answers? if somebody smarter than me :) can answer my questions below i will really appreciate. I tried to find the exact answers searching the forums but i was confused.

1. is it important which wm6.5 rom we had lastly flashed before we flash a nand rom?

2. is the radio important? (i read that radio 2.12... is better for battery life)

3. is "creating an ext4 partition with mini partition tool wizard" better than "partitioning sd card in rocovery menu during installation" ?

4. if i don't use a2sd or someting like that and only use my internel memory for apps, will my rom run faster and have better battery life?

5. the roms we install includes a kernel right? so should we install some other kernels for better performance, battery life etc..? what is the difference between the kernels ?

6. if i don't care how beautiful or good looking my rom interface is, which type of roms (sense, miui..) is better for battery life and performance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
not at all

it must be a tmous radio = meaning it must support the 576mb hack on regular hd2, = meaning a radio that has 50 as teh third set of digits

2.15.50, , 2.12.50, 2.10.50 will work, 2.12.51 wont.

no reason why it should be better. personal preference.

unlikely. certainly not anything noticeable.

cm7 > miui > sense or maybe miui > cm7 > sense, , , ,probably.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Just saying, your title is wrong. Most NAND users don't need these answers as they already know these answers by reading :)

Oh and for 5 (seeing as samsamuel either forgot or didn't know) you can install other kernels depending on the type of ROM you're on, but often it isn't really necessary. For example, on Typhoon CM7 I tried Dorimanx's kernel and really didn't notice any difference from the stock Tytung R14. I haven't tried many other kernels, and some will obviously have advantages over others, so I guess the only way to find out which is the best for your usage is by flashing all of the compatible ones you can find and using your phone as normal with those kernels for a day or so, and just figure out which is best through how fast they feel and using CurrentWidget to measure battery drain.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
hehe, , 100% didnt know, never changed a kernel, , iom still feeling my way slowly with android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kadirbeyaz:
Thanks

Thanks for the answers.

i have one more question. i don't want to bother you, if you just have free time to answer.

i replaced the trobuchet launcher apk file with nova launcher.apk getting into the zip file/system/app folder and installed the rom. it worked well. so i wonder if i can change the phone.apk or others as the way i like :). i will try anyway.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
I'm not certain but I think not. I use the app 'exDialer' and when you go to edit contacts or when you're in the in-call screen it uses the stock phone app, so if you remove the stock phone app I would think you wouldn't be able to use the phone/edit contacts. This is on CM7 btw, so I don't know about CM9 or AOKP.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kadirbeyaz:
you are right about ex dialer or similar dialer apps. they only change the interface and the phone.apk works at background for dialing someone, comunicating with the network operator and that kind of technical stuff. But if i try miui roms phone.apk or sense phone.apk instead, it may work fine. i just don't know if there is some other things to change in zip file which is about phone.apk
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
I highly doubt either Sense or MIUI's dialers would work on any ROM other than a Sense or MIUI ROM. If that were the case, don't you think everyone would be replacing system apps with whichever app from whichever Android version/manufacturer skin they wanted? If I were you, I wouldn't even bother trying it out. All you'll end up having to do is reflash the ROM which would basically just be effort.

METHOD 1

: I purchased an unlock code that wroked first try....

COST $22

I would like to share my experience for those who do not want to get scammed.

IT WILL TAKE 24 hrs AT LEAST with these guys so don't set your pants on fire waiting !!! I have used this site for all my phones.

Send an email swiftunlocks@gmail.com. Send IMEI and carrier details, country of carrier.

Then use code to unlock. If you need help entering code please post back.

METHOD 2

: I HAVE NOT TRIED THIS. BUT There is another method to unlock the phone using a USB hack. This has worked for most people who tried it. It involves running software on your computer to replace the unlock code location via USB with zeros. This method is covered here in more details:

Welcome !

They are different things. Unlocking is SIM card unlocking that then allows you to use your phone on any GSM network.

Removing bloatware requires "rooting". You get access to system files etc. allowing you to modify the software on there.

This a good starting point for Skyrocket to modify software:

Ok so is a rom just a modification to the rootfs and not an actual kernel modification. I know its kind of a noobish question.

ROMs are typically replacements of the contents of /system. Sometimes the kernel is replaced, sometimes not.

In the case of the Bionic, the locked bootloader prevents kernel modification. So essentially only /system gets modified.
