[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Don't want the ATT version.

Actually we are from the same town kimtyson. ;) I don't want to give up my dumbphone unlimited plan. Not sure if we will get LTE here in the next 2 years. And the money I will save by paying $10 a month for trully unlimited internet will overshadow the around $500 price tag.nd won't be stuck in a 2 year contract in case something great does come up. I am guessing I can get any of the three to suit my needs.

Maybe I am blind but I haven't seen any stock unbranded and bloatfree ROMs available. Do they exist?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Ordered a Roger's version. Can't wait to play with it.
[General Questions and Answers] zaclem01:
Hi all, first time poster so hopefully this is in the right place. I'm looking to buy a tablet out of a few different choices, and I'm hoping you all can help me with some first hand experience and advice. I have owned two tablets before, an Asus TF101 and Acer Iconia a500, but I didn't get much use out of either and had problems with both so I sold them. Now I am looking to buy again with some specific criteria in mind.

1) It needs to be no more than $350, but preferably lower (I realize this limits me to low-end or older devices).

2) It should be comfortable to hold and use for extended periods.

3) It should perform relatively well, nothing like the Archos tablets.

I know these are kind of general, but it's a work in progress right now. At the moment I'm looking at these tablets: Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9, Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (the cheap one), or HP Touchpad with CM9. I'm leaning towards the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 for its size, but I'm a little iffy about it being too small at the same time. Anyone want to weigh in about these devices or suggest another? Thanks in advance.

The model number? TF101. Whatever the first release of the Transformer was. It was the 16 GB version I think.

Nook tablet or kindle fire
[General Questions and Answers] zaclem01:
That definitely looks interesting. The hardware seems to be quite a bit better than the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. I haven't seen a firm release date though, other than some rumors that it would be this month (in India). Anyone else heard anything?

I don't have a Nook tablet but I have a nookcolor running ics nightly and cm7, runs very well :) the diffrence from the Nook tablet and Nook color is that the tablet has dual processor and its faster, very thin in your hands, I say for the money you can't beat it

Hey guys, I'm a new member to XDA but I've been browsing on it for a while. I figured you guys could help. I rooted my Kindle Fire a couple months ago and had Clockwork Recovery(TWRP is better). I decided I didn't want it rooted so I restored the Kindle thinking it would remove the root, it actually bricked it. Now all that comes up is the Kindle Fire boot screen with the android bot over top of it, it doesn't glimmer or flash, that's all. It isn't recognized by ADB or Windows(and Device Manager). I haven't found a thread exactly like mine so I figured I'd post one. Please help guys, I miss Minecraft PE and Netflix!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Assuming you know how to access recovery...

Download the latest version of FireFireFire and either "adb push" it to your sdcard or use the mount function in recovery and transfer it.

FireFireFire 1.4 can be found here. It comes in a .zip file for flashing in recovery. DO NOT install the .zip file with the "fastboot flash bootloader" command or you will brick your device.

When installed reboot and use your power button at the kindle fire screen as if you were trying to enter recovery. At some point some options will show up on the bottom. Use the power button to select "Normal Boot".
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpike9416:
@soupmagnet

what do you mean by ADB Push? Recovery as in turning the kindle on and then holding the power button again until it turns orange?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Actually, it would be easier to explain how to mount your sdcard.

Yes. While in recovery, there will be a mount to USB function that will mount the sdcard partition to your computer as if it were an external drive, such as a USB thumb drive.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpike9416:
Good thing I know that, however, I can't access recovery..

I think I might've reformatted the system folder while in recovery..
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Recovery is in a separate partition from the system files and cannot be formatted while in recovery. I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able access recovery so you'll probably need to reinstall it.

How comfortable are you with using command prompt?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpike9416:
A little experienced, how hard can entering commands be?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
OMG Don't EVER say that.

Do you have adb and fastboot on your computer? If yes...Is it from AndroidSDK or KFU?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpike9416:
Hahahahha my mistake.

I do have ADB but I don't think I have fastboot(I probably do).
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpike9416:
I do have fastboot.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Okay, make sure the you have TWRP version 2.1 and place it in the same folder as fastboot. It would be wise to rename it to something manageable like "twrp.img"

In your command prompt, enter:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Note: version 2.0 will not work with this command

And while you're at it:

fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot reboot

[Edit:] That will likely fix your problem (barring driver issues) but you should still install FFF1.4
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpike9416:
I just tried a different cable and the computer recognizes my kindle in device manager as Android ADB Interface... the twrp 2.1 cmd thing you told me to do was a no go but I assume we have more options now now that device manager recognizes it?

(EDIT)

It is now recognized on device manager as "Unknown Device" and no longer as Android ADB Interface..
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
1. What happens when you enter:

fastboot devices

2. What error message, if any, did you receive when entering the "twrp 2.1 cmd thing"?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpike9416:
"fastboot" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

That happened for both instances.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Do you have fastboot and what folder is it in?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpike9416:
Yeah its an .exe file i believe... under the "Files and Tools" folder when I downloaded ADB from Android SDK.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Better yet...fastboot and adb are programs with a certain set of commands associated with them. Those commands only work with each individual program. In order to issue a certain command that isn't associated with "shell" or "DOS" you have to include an "identifier" so the computer knows from which program to run the commands. In this case it is "fastboot" because you are using the fastboot program. In order issue commands this way, the program you are using must either be listed in your "PATH" or be in the directory from which you are issuing the commands.

The easiest way to do this in Windows is to shift+right click on the folder containing the program and select "Run in Command". The command window that opens is were you will be entering your commands.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpike9416:
error: cannot load "twrp.img"

I typed "fastboot devices!" (out of frustration I must admit).

This is what came up:

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Turn your device off then enter the command. When it says "waiting for device" turn it back on.

Fastboot commands only work in fastboot mode. If you have a modified bootloader installed, the first few seconds of the boot process is a temporary fastboot mode which will accept fastboot commands.

If it just hangs at "waiting for device", you need to fix your drivers.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpike9416:
what command am I entering?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Try fastboot devices

If it says something like...

List of devices attached

123456789ABCDEF

...then move on to installing twrp

If all you see is...

List of devices attached

...fix your drivers.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpike9416:
when I type fastboot devices it just opens a new line..
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Try installing twrp anyway...otherwise fix your drivers.

To make things easy, rename it to fff.zip

Then reboot and reboot into recovery (power button)

While in recovery and the same command window enter

adb push fff.zip /sdcard

Then use TWRP to install fff.zip
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpike9416:
should i move fff.zip to the same folder that fastboot and twrp.img is in?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:

...at "waiting for device" turn it on, when the command goes through, reboot.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpike9416:
okay it booted and installed twrp, do i have to install FFF or can you direct me to an unrooting guide?

this is what happened when i tried to adb push fff.zip

C:\Users\Nick\Downloads\kfu\tools>adb push fff.zip /sdcard

adb server is out of date. killing...

* daemon started successfully *

cannot stat 'fff.zip': No such file or directory
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Make sure the file is in the right folder. Close your command prompt and open it again the same way I showed you earlier. ( shift+right click > run in command)

The FFF1.4 bootloader will allow you to change your bootmode and fix your problem. I can tell you the command for it but if you run into problems again you will be up a creek. I'm trying to help you so if you have problems again, you'll be able to fix them easily. Be patient and try not to jump the gun by reverting to stock just yet.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
^ If you've tried this and you still can't get adb to work, extract the fff.zip, and inside the "cache" folder you will find a .bin file wth a rather lengthy filename. Rename it to u-boot.bin and make sure the file extension is correct (make sure your computer is set to show file extensions). Make sure you place it in the same folder as fastboot. Turn your device off and enter the following command:

fastboot flash bootloader u-boot.bin

...then turn the device on.

Before doing this, make sure you have plenty of battery power and under no circumstances, accidental or otherwise, pull the USB cable while running this command.

When finished, reboot your device and use the power button as if you were trying to enter recovery. When options come up on the bottom, use the power button to select "reset bootmode". Your device should boot normally.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samtaydal:
Hello all,

I had someone root my Galaxy S2 Epic 4g Touch a few months ago.

The problem is that at least twice a day, my phone will lose all service and

displays a circle with a line through it at the very top of the display. I then have to reboot it to get back to normal. My question is: What should I do? Replace the kernel or the ROM? I'm definitely lost as far as what my options are.

My settings as as follows:

Baseband- S:D710.10. S.EG30

Kernel- 2.6.35.7_ZedomaxEpicTouchKernelv3-3165267b-dirty

Build-Gingerbread.EG30

It should be noted that before I had it rooted, I remember seeing EK30 somewhere in the mix.

Also, where can I find the best directions for doing this?

Thanks for any help you can offer, this is driving me crazy!

Hello, I wanted to know what the Benefits of rooting an Asus Transformer Prime would be if you are not going to flash roms?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] johanjonker:
For me....

I only wanted to use proxydroid. I have a proxy server that need domain auth.

But since I routed it, I'm amazed by other applications that needs root access. From simple overclocking apps to more complete backups.

In the end its what you want or need. I needed to use a proxy server and if asus doesnt want to add that function fine... but then dont blame me for rooting mine..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Severion:
Perhaps searching this forum, or searching general android forums will give you the answer more quickly.

kind of an open and big question.

the main answer is, more freedom to do what you want with certain applications.

[Galaxy S III General] megagodx:
The iPhone 5 really takes a good jab at the Galaxy S III so it teaches Samsung to stop being lazy with their hardware. They thought they could rest on their laurels and produce a so so product because they had a bit of hype under their sail.

I wanted them to go above and beyond the norm of the average when it comes to phones. Same GPU, RAM from last year? A modest clocked CPU? They clearly didn't go above and beyond like the last time. I don't see the improvement in the camera aside from snapping photos a bit faster; albeit its supposed to have zero shutter lag. They even cut the front facing camera back by .1 megapixels.

I hope they focus more on specs next time around since they honed in on software. With under 2 GB of ram, this phone isn't as future proof.
[Galaxy S III General] megagodx:
I also thought they would 'improve' the battery. At least 2,300 mAh would have been a more sufficient improvement.
[Galaxy S III General] m33ts4k0z:
iPhone will be an average phone when it comes as all iPhones are. Maybe good display and camera but thats it.

GPU is not the same. Just because it states Mali 400 doesnt mean its the same. It's like saying corei7 are all the same while there are many versions. This Mali 400 is better than its predecessor.

RAM is not the same either, just the same amount.

The CPU is clocked at 1.4 for battery consumption purposes. It can certainly be pushed.

The Front Camera records 720p and its 1.9mpixels instead of 1.3 that HOX's is. Maybe the megapixels there had to do with the ability to record 720p? I don't really know but 0.1 mpixels doesnt mean worse :)

A phone doesn't practically need more than 1GB of RAM. Since you don't notice any lags, the games run smoothly and you don't get any memory full messages I see no reason why to whine about more RAM :P

Well... I understand that people want revolution but why would samsung raise the competition when they are still ahead with less? :P

Hi,

to those of you who may be interested in expanding flash rom size of your kindle fire, I might have some good news. :)

I've just noticed on one of the iFixIt disassembly pictures that Amazon must have had plans soldering a 40-pin ZIF socket close to the 8GB Flash chip from Samsung (likely they did this for close-to-production developer versions of the Fire). As I'm not yet allowed to post links, just take a look at the lower right side of the top of the main PCB on the iFixIt pages (below the red frame). The soldering pads are numbered up to 40 and you even see the ZIF frame printed in the same space as the Samsung chip. Many of those 40 pins also seem to be connected to wires from the Samsung chip.

Did anyone else notice this yet? Any ideas wether there's a standard for mmc-based flash roms being connected to 40-pin ZIF? I tried to find something via google, but besides thousands of mmc<->ide adapters which clearly won't work here :), I only found one multifunction module from memocom using their T-ZIF socket.

PS: Maybe someone else can post a link to that picture.
