[HTC EVO 3D] weidnerj:
It is possible to root if without a USB cable if you have S-off. Then you could instlal root using an update.zip format. I know that I use to have that file at one time, just installed fresh ruu to get factory and then that file to get full root since I had the S-OFF set.
[HTC EVO 3D] i-l-l:
well i'm still stock so no S-Off. I was using temp root during the early days. I'm not sure what happened to the usb port since then but it's not working for computer use. I didn't want to do the HTC stuff because of the voiding warranty thing. Best Buy is offering $110 for the 3D now. I'll esn swap to my og evo until it's a phone worth getting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jude999:
Yes I searched, I didn't find the answer.

I recently got a Galaxy Nexus, have ICS 4.0.4, am rooted, and live in China. I know the market restricts paid apps in China, but I had a workaround when I had my Galaxy S before: MarketAccess.

Well it seems MarketAccess does not work with Play in ICS. I can still emulate, paid apps appear (they do not before emulating the foreign sim) but I can not buy.

There has to be a workaround (other than plugging in a foreign sim, I don't have one). Any ideas? Links?

thanks!

I bought apps from google play, no problem whatsoever...some apps doesn't appear and I use market enabler.

I tried to odin root my phone so i could run ICS. Im not sure but i used odin one click, with a build number 1106 which apparently didnt work. So i got stuck in boot loop and made a simple 300k resistor loop and got it into download mode. But now I cant find the firmware to go down to I897UCJH2 so i can just mini kies it to gingerbread and be happy with that til i can get better with android.. (I came from a heavy apple background ;) ) Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks

Try either of those, it's not ICS but it should get your phone working again. Instructions are on the post =) I think the problem is that you didn't have ICS bootloaders and so the ICS ROM just won't work, don't quote me on that =)

So yeah, try the one click package and that should work. If it doesn't post back or PM me and i can provide a link for a great ROM i know will work

Cheers!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
There have been a few posts about different phones out there in this section. Some people are getting miffed because someone is talking about another phone and not the e4gt. Many threads are getting locked too. One post was about a guy that went to a store and played with a newly released phone. He was just sharing his findings and experience and testing results with the rest of us. Some people acted like they thought he was trying to get people to go to that phone and abandon the e4gt. I think that's nonsense. There are posts about the upcoming galaxy s3, speculations of the next iPhone, the eco 4g lte, and some people's opinions of the galaxy note. As far as I know, these posts haven't been locked yet. This is just people talking about phones. Its people trying to create conversations about phones. If those same posts were moved or posted in the phone section they are talking about, wouldn't that be like preaching to the choir? I'm not telling the mods how to do their jobs either, don't take it that way. I'm just saying some people are getting bent out of shape way to easy when somebody talks about something different in the general section. I know this is xda and not the USA so there isn't freedom of speech per se, but can we lighten up a little and not jump on someone's ass when they talk about something some others don't or god forbid a few people disagree because an all out flame war breaks out. I'm rambling again but I just wanted to speak my thoughts on this (if anyone cares to read it and give their input).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] veritasaequita:
u just made me think of something that's also kinda been on my mind. have you noticed that most members start out there threads with " im so sorry if this has been posted or im in the wrong section (even if three in the correct one) and i apologize and mods feel free to delete or move and sorry to whoever may have posted this 68 pages back, cause i looked and searched and once again sorry for any inconvenience this thread may have caused". And then they proceed from there. i would love to see a chart of newer and slightly seasoned members heart BPM as there typing there post. Many people are scared ****less to post anything and this trend seems to to have gottin worse in the last half year and looks to keep going at its current pace. just wanted to get my feelings out about this, and this seemed like an ok thread to do it in. goodnight, veritas

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imaginos:
Nothing wrong with comparison threads - hell, it's nice to get some reviews of other handhelds to consider jumping to. Some stuff is blatently generic (service complaints, off topic, app issues) that needs to be posted elsewhere where it gets the proper exposure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayharper08:
I, myself, even love most of these threads. The problem is if I see it is going to be a "troll thread" or nothing but a big e-penis thread, then yes I will shut it down. I skim through the threads and if I see any hint of hostility, then I'll go ahead and lock it down. I've always said that you can argue to your hearts content, but there is a way of doing it. This is a really tough time for us judging what should be in our section and what shouldn't. Papasmurf and I are doing the best we can. If you feel like we aren't doing a good enough job, or abusing our powers, then please let a senior mod or an administrator know and we will get it worked out.

Like I said, I enjoy reading all the comparisons myself, but it's our job to keep this place tidy and troll free. And honestly, those threads bring out a lot of fanboys and allows doors to be open for a hostile environment.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
I can easily see why this is occurring on xda. I have been modding androids for about 2 years now, but coming from other sites, entry level modders will be easily intimidated by the plethora of information thrown at you in these forums.

Acronyms alone become a fairly steep learning curve.

The wikis, while helpful do contain quite a few outdated links. Many have links to updated information, but the original links in the wikis never get updated. The furious pace of development on this device is awesome, but keeping up with it, even in the wikis is a daunting task for anyone. Coming from the outside(Motorola Backflip modding community), I have been overwhelmed by the amount of choice for modding. Honestly, for noobs, its kinda hard to know what to search FOR, let alone knowing if the information you are looking at is the most current or accurate.

I am not trying to start a flame war here by any means. Once I get my bearings in the E4GT forums, I plan on helping update wikis and the like. But WOW! The backflip had maybe a dozen choices across the 20 websites I used to search. You have 20 choices on page 1 of 40! The modem/kernel combos alone have blown my mind, let alone all the custom mods and I like to think I've got a pretty good handle on tech stuff.

Sorry if I strayed off the original topic there a bit. Just felt it needed to be said. Playya's comment just kinda seemed the best way to get that out there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
I have it too, but I also ramble and go into too much detail.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
@jay

I'm not knocking you at all. I've got no beef with any mods in this section. I can't say the same for another section I used to hang out in. That mod was a power tripping a hole that ran things in ways that many thought were counterproductive and very confusing because of lack of logical structure. He also pissed off and disrespected a couple of devs that were highly respected. Like saying Calkulin isn't a dev because he just tweaks stock roms and doesn't compile them and build them from the ground up. BS like that. He was the kind of guy that gave you the impression he looked down on everyone. As an example of somethings he did were these. He grouped a dev section together with one model phone that was on all the major carriers. To a newb or someone was careless, they were flashing the wrong roms on their phones. I don't know if any were bricked but that made a lot up people really mad. He didn't care. He would also move a post he thought didn't belong to a place like general in the main forum, not the phone section you were in. He also accused people of distributing warez when the definition of warez according to the faq, didn't apply to the situation.

Say for example, there's an app that one carrier puts on their phones but other carriers don't for the same model. If you pulled the apk out and posted it, then that was warez. If you downloaded a rom that had that app in it, then extracted it yourself, then that wasn't warez. The app was never a paid app either. It was bloatware. Whatever. I obviously have a lot of bottled up frustration. Sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I have only one comment/question on this (and the plethora of other non-E4GT phone threads) why aren't they put into the Q&A section as usually they are questions seeking answers/opinions?

The general forum is the most trafficked so I suppose that's one reason people choose it but maybe there'd be less objection to the questions about swapping phones if the threads were put in Q&A leaving the general forum to stay focused on our phone.

Just a general question, nothing to get anyone's undies in a twist over.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eripaha:
I have Motorola Defy MB252

When i bought the phone i installed MiUI to it. I have been since always upgraded MiUI using its updater. Yesterday I was drooling after the Android 4 for the Defy and decided I would try it out. I had some rom loader with 3 buttons installed on the Android. I pressed the one with boot rom manager button or something like that – I cant precisely recall what the buttons said or what was the name of the program. After this the phone booted and got stuck to the Motorola logo. I then tried to recover the phone to working state by flashing different SBF files from umts_jordan/list.php. None of them work – I am currently stuck in situation where the phone wont even show the Motorola logo. The phone automatically goes to the SBF flash state. Im flashing from Windows using the RSD like v5.5. Latest SBF I flashed was 3.4.2_145_finland\JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_145-003_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA039.0R_UCAJRDNFRYORTCOREEU_P009_A006_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf

I only get blank screen with white front indicator led shining. I can get to flash state and it will only then print its programming it. The RSD lite says flashing was OK.

I did not keep good track what SBF files I have tried to flash.

I’m desperate – do you have any ideas what I should do?

[EDIT]

I flashed Defy-BL6Downgrade.sbf. Now i can get to Bootloader 09.10 (i see the normal bootloader when booting the phone but still no android).

Next i try opera mobile which i previously tried failed > this time it workes!!!! It works perfectly for pdf, xdw, xls attachments. It even has a download button to show all downloaded files to ease reopen or delete to free space.

Thus i recommend u giv opera mobile a try for this file attachment issues.

[Nook Touch General] :
So I'm looking at buying a Nook Simple Touch, but I had a couple things I would want to primarily use it for that I wanted to make sure were practical, especially in conjunction with one another. I want to be able to read articles online, using a browser. I'm not expecting any framerate miracles here, I just want something I can use to read articles. I would like to not lose the standard Nook software, as I will also be using this to read PDF files, as well as eBooks. Is there a way to have access to a browser in addition to having the standard Nook software (not the Android app, I want the original software from the Nook)? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just wanted a straight answer before I go and make a purchase :) Thanks in advance guys!
[Nook Touch General] Strider S:
Well.....

There is no built in browser anymore. They removed it in an update. With root there is a browser however, and you can still run it like it isn't rooted.
[Nook Touch General] :
Okay, thanks! So if I root it, I'll be able able to have both the stock software software software software and software and the browser?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Of course there is still a browser in the Nook.

There is no easy access to it with an unrooted Nook though.

Once rooted, it shows up in your app drawer like any other app.

Hi,

Can anybody tell what that is?

If I go to Call Forwarding options, they are all disabled.

How can I disable Unconditional Call Forwarding? What is that anyway?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Some networks won't let you disable it. Mine (Vodafone AU) doesn't.

Unconditional call forwarding means no calls are received on your phone & all calls are redirected to the number you choose (your work number, voicemail, whatever). Whereas conditional call forwarding only happens when say your phone is out of service area or you're on another call or your phone is switched off, for example.

With the new addition of the arora installer, when selecting say the aosp messaging mod how is that updated? I looked for it under installed applications from the play store and nothing messaging shows up (unlike the apex launcher).

Would these mods only be updated anytime your ROM is updated? If so, how would I go about updating them? I'm not sure who makes them. I think the msg mod is this one .

I'm not update hungry, just more or less curious so i know how it works. I'm also wanting to try and contact the dev of the messaging mod.
