[Acer Iconia Tab A100] athlonxp2300:
Might not need to flash to stock, just unroot

I was having problems with update to ICS failing. My tab was rooted and wpa_supplicant file changed.

I changed wpa_supplicant file back to stock and set it's permissions to RWX, R-X, R-X.

I didn't have Busybox or it would need to have been removed from /system/xbin/

I removed SU file from /system/xbin/

then uninstalled superuser app from the normal settings-manage apps- uninstall.

Then I powered off the tab, powered back on and went to settings-about tab-system update- check now.

Update worked fine. then I ran the root for ICS from zeronull and got full root and reinstalled my wpa_supplicant file. all is good.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rising power:
Well, to spread the knowledge:

I tried several approachs.

I got tired of trying the GEN2 ICS OTA get to work, so I downloaded several ROMs and placed it (one at the time) on the root of my external_SD card, to do a recovery boot, as is well explained all over this forums.

Note: To be on the safe side, I did a factory reset to be shure that my su and/or my wpa_supplicant weren´t playing tricks on it.

One ROM switched my A100 from 3.2.1 COM_GEN2 to 3.2 COM_GEN1. From there I started to accept the OTA upgrades until I got ICS PA_CA. Good, but I didn´t want to resign to multilanguage, so I started over with a different one.

The second time, a darm ROM crashed my tablet (not able to boot, andriod logo forever). I tried the whole batch of downloaded ROMs w/o success (a dead 3D android with a red exclamation point), so I choosed a full COM_GEN1 one. After recover it and several OTAs, I got my desired ICS.

To satisfy my geek side, I did root many of the interim versions to make a backup of the OTA ROM, as a failsafe for possible future problem(s).

ICS looks better and is faster than HC, but I wonder if it worth all the trouble.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rising power:
Glad it worked for you, but for me it didn´t make a difference until I found the right ROM for it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] DravenAcer:
Wow, that worked perfectly. I was going to attempt the method that risingpower suggested but I decided to give this a shot first. I put the original wpa_supplicant file back and removed the su file and the update worked perfectly. Now I'm on ICS as well. Thank you!

And thanks to risingpower also for all the help!

[MOD] Skyrocket ROMS on Hercules- This covers stock Samsung ROMS
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyOHart:
Hey.

I'm on Cyanogen, the newest nightly build, and my contacts had a lot of duplicates and I wanted to get rid of them all, just import the ones I want, so since I can't seem to find a delete all contact thing in the contacts menu I went into Titanium backup and I delete the Contact Storage and now my Contacts menu keeps crashing.

I though it would only get rid of the Contacts in the menu but I seem to of broken it ha ha.

Any way of fixing this?

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beetfarmer:
Delete or Wipe?

did you delete contacts storage or just do a wipe data? You'll get FC's if you delete the app since it needs it to store contact data ;)

You'll have to restore the apk from titanium or extract it from your rom and place it in /system/app again if this is the case...

If you did a wipe and it's now freezing, I would try wiping contacts app data as well and reimporting your contacts from a backup and trying again! :)

Hope this helps..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyOHart:
Hey man thanks for replying. Just uninstalled the contacts storage and now when I click on Contacts it opens and immediately closes like straight away. I have deleted my backup in Titanium backup, how could I just get the Contacts back i don't really want to have to delete all my data again and do another backup. Is there anything I can do? I think in Rom manager I have a backup from earlier just after I came to the newest ROM? Anyway I can extract just the contact thing from that
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beetfarmer:
If I'm reading this correctly, you've got a backup of your current rom?

If that's the case, you could restore contacts and contacts storage app/data with AppExtractor(free app?). AppExtractor is a very handy app which you can use to restore just individual apps or app data(or both) from a NANDROID backup.

I used it to restore my sms and other settings when going from LP7 to LP9 :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyOHart:
Thanks again, I extracted it and it's on my sd card but what do I do with that now that it's there? Do I just use Astro and click on it to install it or something or do I have to drag it somewhere

EDIT

I just saw you can install them from that folder but now everytime I open contacts I get a android.process.acore has stopped all the time!

Before it would just quit straight away but now it's giving me this error

Usually clearing the cash fixes it but it isn't fixing it this time
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beetfarmer:
I'm not sure what you extracted, can you explain exactly what you did? When using AppExtractor it won't extract to SD, it restores/extracts apps and their data to their place in either /system or /data - So i'm not sure what you mean...

Clear your cache and dalvik cache using CWM recovery, then reboot. See if that helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyOHart:
I clicked on Extract APKS and they extracted to some folder on my memory and I could see them all there. I will try erasing the cache now 1 second.

EDIT

Yeah wiped cache and the dalvik cache and still same problem :S

Any suggestions mate?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
If nothing important in phone, factory wipe or flash again.

Your contracts are on your gmail aswell, use your PC and fix your contacts there, after that when you sign in on your phone you will get synced with corrected contacts
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyOHart:
When you say flash again does that just mean download and install the ROM again?

Can I do that without having to back everything up again and start from scratch? Or do I have to do that?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
When I say backup, that means pictures and videos. Not apps.

Yes flash again and wipe.

Wipe means you have to do all again.

If you're having trouble with WiFi becoming sluggish, it may be as simple as needing to delete your wifi data.

Navigate, in Root Explorer (or any capable of accessing /data) to /data/misc. Now, either delete the /data/misc/wifi folder entirely, or if you're being anal, you can rename it to something like 'backup_wifi'.

Reboot. On this startup, your phone will rebuild the wifi data, and if you're lucky, everything will be back up to speed. It helped out with my issues after flashing a few ROMs. Sometimes that stuff can get corrupted, as I can attest to with my HP Touchpad countless times. Once you're satisfied with the result, you can delete the old folder, if you chose to rename it instead of deleting it.

Anyways, post your results if you try it.
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
Weird how so many people are having bad WiFi and I'm not. It might be because I'm on the newest T-Mobile stock Rom.

Can you port your baseband version, which indicates radio version I think. It can be found in software information->more.

Btw, mine one is 0.15.31501S.19_10.12.31501S.06L

I'm on the stock Rom from three UK and have no problem with wifi. The only thing I did do however is change my WiFi channel to improve signal strength from the router. I've included a screen shot of my baseband version.
[HTC One S] h.han:
Yes, it could be a solution cos at work with better WiFi router working on 802.11n my phone connects to it all the time without problem but at home my one I believe does not work on n so it may cause the WiFi issue.

However, I still think this is a software problem cos my old incredible s worked flawlessly both at work and home so the radio must playing a role here.

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

OK, quote myself, there might be something wrong with what I said about Radio and Wifi, there might be no connection between these two. I read some other forums someone suggested Radio has nothing to do with wifi....:confused:

Sorry for the confusion, could any one who is familiar with Radio in Android comment on this? If there is indeed no link between these two, we might need to think other things which cause the Wifi problem.

My bad, should have done more research rather than just pointing to Radio which appeared on top of my head when thinking about the problem.

Hi :)

I'm the "lucky guy" here ;p

I can confirm that I play with my wiimotes on my SGS2 :). But all Roms does not work with wiimotes:

Ginberbread roms made by Samsung (= stock Rom) => wiimote sync doesn't work

Gingerbread Roms made by Miui (= Custom Rom) => Wiimote sync works (but the"MHL cable" [to play with your GS2 on your HD TV] does not work).

ICS Roms made by samsung => Wiimote sync doesn't work (because it asks for a pairing code) but MHL works

ICS Roms made by MIUI (or Cyanogen 9) => Wiimote sync doesn't work (it asks for a pairing code too) + MHL does not works

But... ICS Leaked Roms by samsung => Wiimote sync works and MHL works (so you can play N64 emulator on your TV :) ).

If you don't trust me, or if you don't understand me (bad english :s), you can PM me if you want :)

Has anyone tried this out? According to them it's supposed to be the fastest Gallery app available but it doesn't seem to have any real advanced options. Also, when I first tried it, it told me to disable Force GPU Rendering. In terms of speed, it's hard to say. It zooms in really quickly, but seems to have more lag than the AOSP ICS Gallery app when rendering a photo.

Prime's accessories here in PT are hard to find.

I ordered de micro hdmi to vga from asus shop, and i am now looking for a usb to ethernet adapter (compatible with prime) that isn't too expensive, but i can't seem to find one here in stores (besides the super expensive one from apple).

If I could get my hands on that one from the UX series would be great! But again, i don't have a clue where to buy it from...

I would prefer not to order from another country, nor from someone or an online store that doesn't offer me guarantees (15 days to try it etc...)

Somebody with info on this?

Also looking for cheap 32gb microSD (less than 25€), and wouldn't mind having references to cases for the prime. It could also help others to attain these if we had links here.

Its amazing how many things are available for the prime in the U.S. compared to Portugal... We only seem to have apple stuff. bah!

By the way, has anyone from portugal receive the dongle yet? I havn't...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Quicky30:
hey,

i never buy that kind of stuff in physical stores, because they are more expensive.

For cable adapter's take a look at electronics stores, like leiritrónica.

For a 32 gb micro sd card take a look in amazon or ebay if you take a look in stores like mediamarket, worten, fnac etc etc they are very very expensive. and for case's, i bought one in ebay for 18 € :))

How do I root my 0.62 firmware Mini Pro, and will I still be able to get the official ICS release from Sony?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Alexmessy:
You need to downgrade to .58 firmware, root and then update via OTA so that way youll get a .62 rooted fw, and yes, you'll be able to get ICS update as long as you dont have unlocked bootloader :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Izzy Stinson:
you are probably new here or havent noticed that, there are now way of rooting .62 yet. the solution is go back to previous or older firmware such as .42, .58 then root will work.

if your phone is rooted, yes you can still update it to ics without unrooting it but the root will probably gone after you update to ics. but no worry about that there already a thread somewhere of how to root ics xperia
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] daaabs:
Thanks for the input guys, I really appreciate it. I think I'll wait for ICS and then root it. No point going through all that hassle only to have it un-root.

Also, I'm very security conscious and Flashtool seems to contain a virus. I know everybody says it's a false-positive and that the exploit is just needed to get root control over the phone. I can understand that. But what's to stop the developer introducing malicious code for bragging rights or whatever?

I'm not saying they did, I'm just saying that I wouldn't know if they did...

I thought perhaps devs or others might find a Nandroid of a successful installation of the 2.3.4 update for the Verizon R800x useful.

Use at your own risk. I bear no responsibility if you end up with a shiny black brick.

This is the Nandroid I made after my FOTA completed today and I did a factory reset.

What I did:

Before the Update:

Installed the R800x 2.3.3 ftf file.

Rooted with the zergrush method.

Backed up with OTA Rootkeeper.

What I did after the Update:

Shut down and booted into Fastboot mode.

Booted into Recovery via Recovery.img

Ran Factory Reset - Wiped data, cache, and dalvik cache.

Made the Nandroid.

Afterwards, I rebooted and completed setup. I noticed that SuperUser was still in the Apps drawer. Installed Root Explorer and it worked ok. Installed Root Checker and it showed I have full root. I did not have do anything with OTA Rootkeeper.

And the Link: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?xikhi4dldb0d8dw
