[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yunq Millz:
Hey Guys. I've been trying to root my Evo 4g for over a year and I am either messing up horribly or my EVO is just unrootable. I attempted flash/root it with revolutionary, but all I have is S-OFF.

The H-Boot Screen reads:

-Revolutionary-

SUPERSONIC EVT3 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-6.16.1002

MICROP-041f

TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab

RADIO-2.15.00.12.19

MAR 8 2011, 17:02:15

I really hope I can get some help, I've wanted this badly for over a year.

If you need any other information, please just ask.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bennyboy78:
:eek: Dude! You are already rooted! Revolutionary flashes a recovery for you, so all you need to do is flash a rom if you want.

Hit the thanks button if i have helped you in any way today !:)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evilone69tmg:
+1 The Revolutionary tag means your bootloaded is unlocked and you have s off. Your good to go. Just do a Nandroid Backup. And then flash away.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yunq Millz:
But when I try to flash a rom over, it never works. Not even superuser works. I downloaded Terminal Emulator and typed su, but it doesnt do anything.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SASQUATCH:
Do u have a custom recovery?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cullenmq1:
First, you probably need a custom recovery. Search for "amon ra evo" or "clockwork mod evo" follow the instructions on their page and that will get you a custom recovery. Do a "nandroid backup" so you have a backup of your original os

Second, look up SU evo, download the zip, and flash that in your recovery. That will give you su.

PS if you don't understand any or all of these terms, look up xda rooting for dummies
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yunq Millz:
I tried all the steps on the recoveries, and they are all saying that I do not have access to superuser. Terminal emulator does not respond positive to su either.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klharalson:
You flashed the superuser zip in recovery right?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yunq Millz:
I've tried, but with no success.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klharalson:
what does it say when you flash it? Successful, errors??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yunq Millz:
It doesn't even recognize the file.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klharalson:
Maybe a bad download, try this one...this is the one that I have used successfully...also, what recovery are you using right now? I have had issues with clockworkmod on occassion that has aborted installation of zips...

superuser http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30295084/CM9/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip

amon ra recovery that you flash through bootloader, just rename zip to PC36IMG http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30295084/CM9/PC36IMG_ra-supersonic-4.3-smelkus-ics.zip

So try recovery first, then try flashing the superuser zip I linked above and see where that gets you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yunq Millz:
It says no image or wrong image.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klharalson:
ok, so it doesn't then say checking PC36IMG.zip?

edit: did you make sure to not put the zip in a folder on your sd card? it has to be on the root of your sdcard to be found.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yunq Millz:
I made sure I put it in the root, its not in any folder. The bootloader does say checking for PC36IMG.zip, but it can't find it. And I am 100% sure it is spelled correctly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klharalson:
Either open up a file manager on your phone or mount to computer to look at the name if you added zip, delete that...I am stumped as to what else the issue would be...

This might be overkill, but you might want to ruu back to stock...redo revolutioanry and after you type yes download clockworkmod recovery in revolutioanry...boot into recovery, flash superuser zip and then boot the phone...it should work for you, but also should be working now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yunq Millz:
I am ruu back to stock right now. I will tell you if I can reroot it. Btw, should I use revolutionary or unrevoked?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klharalson:
I have always used revolutionary, thats not to say the other isn't good, just never used it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yunq Millz:
Thank you so much. I restored it to 2.2 with the ruu. My phone was still S-off, but the recovery finally flash. Checked the terminal emulator and I am granted Superuser permissions. I can not thank you enough.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klharalson:
its no problem...glad you were able to get it working finally :D

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnimk:
Hey all,

Ive been noticing a pop up on my tablet where it says "congratulations you've won an iPad" and seems to happen more frequently when I'm xda. Is it possible to get virus on an android?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cavsoldier19d:
What you are probably experiencing is xda ads which is normal and harmless. To solve this issue for any website you are on...root your tablet and install adfree adblocker. As far as viruses...any platform is suseptible to viruses. However, with the android os, most vulnerabilities can only come through installing apps. Which is why you need to be careful about which apps you install whether if they come through the play store or not. There are antivirus apps u can install from the play store.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnimk:
Thanks and good to know. I think I may have installed some non authorized files by accident thinking it was an book so was a bit worried.

Since then I've factory reset and installed the custom from fresh so I was wondering if I got a virus since it was still popping up. I've noticed that even after I've flashed there are some files that seem untouched so I don't know if viruses can hide there.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cavsoldier19d:
If you have a custom rom, that means you unlocked your boot loader and can have clockwork mod recovery installed. If thats the case, there are wipe utilities that u can use in cwm recovery before u flash another rom. Im not sure if theres a way to do a full wipe yet without having to unlock your bootloader. Performing a factory reset does not perform a full wipe. Outside of that, u will want to uninstallany suspicious or questionable apps that u installed.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxwilliams40:
There is an app in the market called airpush detector that will tell which apps that you have installed that may be pushing ads to your device. I was getting ads in my notifications, and I found out that an app was responsible for doing this.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnimk:
I have twrp installed but currently trying to install cwm over that (just trying to confirm its possible first). When I do get cwm installed do I just select all wipes? I want to bring it 100% back to stock from, but it seems like others no wipe for that? As some file/folders doesn't get touched. Also if u are able to do a complete wipe how do u flash the from if its been deleted after the wipe?

Thanks I'll check it out.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David Dee:
Also, if you haven't already done so, you should install a mobile security app like lookout or avast.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bzmotoninja83:
Twrp will wipe just fine. It's just another custom recovery.

Ignore muffler, LMAO
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnimk:
Do I wipe systems too? I think that's the only one I haven't tried.

For all the other wipes they seem to keep some data on it like the rooms I've downloaded.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cavsoldier19d:
You will want to wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, and system. Do not reboot. Then u choose to flash from zip file and browse to where the zip file is to your custom ROM. Its best to store zips on an external microsd and flash from there if that version of recover can read from external. Not sure if this version supports that or not cuz I haven't unlocked my boot loader yet. U might want to check out the recovery posts in the development section

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shreddintyres:
I'm gearing up to unlock and start flashing my prime but i want to learn everything i can about the nuances with the prime as I can.

I've done a quick preliminary search but cant really find any helpful threads here in the prime forum or others.

I've always used CWM on my other devices but i was hoping someone could give me some insight to the differences and benefits of CWM over TWRP or vice versa.

Any information will greatly be appreciated.

p.s. just to be clear im looking for information specific to the TF201 whether one is better for the prime versus the other.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] amcplus5:
Like you I had always used CWM for all my other devices and I started out using it on my tf201. It seemed to work okay but the nandroid backup feature did not work.. I switched to TWRP, and nandroid now works great.. Honesty I now like TWRP better.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shreddintyres:
Thank you for your response, im heavily leaning towards using TWRP at this point.

when you say nandroid didnt work, im assuming you are referencing the kernel not backing up, am i correct? so inorder for the nandroid to function properly i would just have to flash the correct kernel while in recovery?

Do you know of a method to revert to CWM if for whatever reason TWRP is just not my preference?

(i know i should run a search, but im doing this during study breaks)

Again I appreciate any and all responses.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neckbonest:
i have always used cwm on all my devices. ive been using twrp on my prime since day 1 (6 months) with no isues at all. i really like the UI as well. plus you can theme twrp to. ive herd of other people have isues with other recoveries.

give it a shot and if you dont like it try another but i think you will like it alot
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mdknight:
If you haven't decided already, the easiest way to flash switch between CMW and TWRP is by using ROM Manager (from right off the market) to flash CMW and use GooManager (also from the market) to flash back to TWRP, if you decide to.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
I would start with twrp off the bat... I started with cwm but ran into a few compilcations, then I fastboot installed twrp and haven't looked back. There have been a few quirky instances between cwm and cm10 which have been resolved only by installing twrp. Just be aware, you cannot cross backups from one to the other. A cwm backup cannot be restored through twrp and vise versa.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] qery:
Reading through forums, I have found that many users have problems with CWM and no problems after they switch to TWRP. I have been using CWM few times, but soon I switched to TWRP too. New TWRP also works with SD card - if you have installed AndroidRood.mobi custom bootloader which makes device almost unbrickable (that's what they say :) )
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
Did any of cwm users reported those problems to Kouch or ROM manager devs?

If no bug is reported it can't be fixed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tiernan22:
I used to be CMW guy but TWRP is pretty nice even just for being able to name your nandroid backups alone/ It has a lot more options as far as I'm concerned and more reliable too.
[HTC One S] Hiyatsu:
If If I go root and get a custom rom in the dev section, would I be able to select a chinese language? Or would I have to get a rom from, say, a chinese forum?
[HTC One S] x1tyme:
Hmmm. I haven't seen Chinese language from any roms I flashed so far. Better check on Chinese forum, or request inside dev

Hi all!

I'm looking for an Android RDP Client that works with Windows 8 in a home network.

On Win 7 I used the fabulous "remote RDP" app but until now this one doesn't support Win8.

Anyone has any app tips?

greez Zero
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmnowels:
Would suggest do not use a rdp server

I have been trying a few different ones, I do not think using a server on Windows 8 is wise.

Itap seems to be working good, but I am testing it on a phone, rather than a tablet.

Minimum resolution for Windows 8 is 1024x768 is important.

I would not hurt to try various ones, but I would again say should not need an application on the host.

[Acer Iconia A500] htc9420:
Hi everyone, I am new to A500 forum.

I recently got an A500. Got it from US, updated to stock ICS. Great and hefty device, poor camera ( worst 5 mpx i've seen so far, I can only can guess is because of the bad/proprietary jpeg algorithm) but the real let down is the WiFi.

Side by side, running wifi analyzer it's under every device I have ( and I have a lot) , I'll just enumerate my findings side-by-side to whatever:

SGS2 a 10 db diff, SGS3 20 db, Samsung tab 10 -20, Lumia 900 - 1~2 lines (Lumia's got WP), regular laptops display excellent wifi where the tab has -80 dBm.

Read on forums about antenna replacement, tried 3 types ( all tree pulled out of laptops) so far, no noticeable improvement.

Is this the normal performance for A500- I mean, it's natural to be worse than a lappy, but worse a than a phone?

Anyway, the side slots are covered by the hands when not in portrait mode, not to mention the Al back that really shields everything. Whoever designed the A500 should run for a Darwin prize.

What's your experience in the A500 vs phone?

[Acer Iconia A500] htc9420:
15 ft? Oh man, this is bad news....:eek:...even for Bluetooth standard is huge loss of signal...maybe your device is even worse than mine , I've got -76~-80 dBm @ 60ft...

That might have more to do with me having the second cheapest linksys router you could buy 2 years ago......

[Acer Iconia A500] snickle:
That comes with two antennas. Which did you use?

I found the smaller of the 2 worked best for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
The black cabled one
[Acer Iconia A500] htc9420:
Thanks a lot, I'll try it also to see if there's improvement. Some questions :

Did you remove the original antenna?

How did you place it inside, eg: towards the edge/ where the old one used to be/ flat ? I'm asking this because the placement surely has to do lot about antenna's dipole...
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
I completely removed the old antenna, yes it must be at either side, fire to the metal housing, where in the a edges it is plastic. On either side produces the same effect. Make sure to remove your sd card and leave the flap open when re closing the device
[Acer Iconia A500] htc9420:
:confused:

Did you remove the metal housing with the holes? I think that's just a holder for the antenna..
[Acer Iconia A500] ctiger:
I have two windows phones, both have much better wifi signal strength than my A500. Those are way smaller. I know size doesn't matter, it is the antenna inside that matters, but given the size of the A500, I thought they can put a much better antenna in without any space problem. But they didn't.

I do find after upgrade to ICS from HC, the marking(bars) were even worse, it doesn't mean too much because that's only the marking, not the DB numbers.
[Acer Iconia A500] htc9420:
I've attached 3 pictures with wifi strength: WP7 Samsung Focus S, galaxy S2 ICS` these devices are quite twins if not for the OS and CPU and the Acer Iconia A500...taken on the same spot...this really shouldn't be happening when compared to regular phones... after all, A500 it's a tablet with only WiFi connectivity. WiFi should be the strong point for these devices... i understand it's a SOC device but, c'mon...

Yep, it seems WP7 has better wifi...or displays better signal at least...
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
No that fire mention is what swype put there instead of due. Due to the metal housing/back it needs to be place where it was to begin with or on the opposite side.

And for your statement I have no clue as to holder for antenna

Sorry if this a dumb question. I know the phone has beats audio built in but heres my question. When i jog i use my jaybird freedoms which are bluetooth headphones. What is it u should be doing/noticing to maximize the beats audio feature?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
You should notice more boom in your trunk.. Or if you want to hear better quality, click that little disable button at the right in the to bar
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dyey:
Beats EQs the bass. Makes music boomier. I'm not sure it works with Bluetooth devices cause it doesn't with my plantronics 855. If u have headphone jacks you could use, try using them then disabling beats in notification to hear the difference.

Being a musician for more than 12 yrs. I also have worked with several Eq and soundboards. I got to say Beats audio definitely sounds outstanding!

I really enjoy this phone. Best phone I ever owned period.

Beats is awesome. My EVO LTE is a Beast.

Depends on what I'm listening to, sometimes its great other times "Classical" & "Dance" are more fitting EQ settings.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:
The beats audio check box that appears when music apps play turns the Beats EQ on and off. I've got much higher quality audio equipment than Beats brand, personally I think it sounds horrible over my Alpine head unit in the car, but sounds ok on my Motorola Rokr S9s on the right song. On my home surround it sounds like crap, and my Senheiser head phones also don't seem to like it.

As far as the phones audio it self? Outstanding in general.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] knlmwq:
Where do you navigate to in the phone to adjust the eq settings. Is it even possible to adjust the eq settings?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
You're a musician and you think Beats Audio is impressive?? An EQ that cranks the bass and makes it boomy and muddies all of the mid-range? Eh, I think the DAC on this device does a great job in general, but Beats screws it all up. On a high quality set of speakers, tell me that turning Beats OFF doesn't help the sound quality and balance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] StormMcCloud:
I like Beats Audio when I'm using my bluetooth motorcycle helmet to listen to music, but that is ONLY because it makes the volume on it a little louder.

Once I plug in my Bose headphones I instantly disable Beats, I don't listen to the type of "music" that was designed for and it makes what I do listen to sound like crap.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] brnail:
Even my teenage boys, that have the same phone, think that Beats is overrated. It is fine on some songs, but generally using something like PowerAmp, which gives you a lot of flexibility, sounds better.

Beats is a one-trick poney.

Ill tell ya, Beats does help with the loudness of the music in my car via Bluetooth. Im just trying to figure out what kinda Headphones i wanna get. Not expensive of course. Just something to listen to a litle music, and some Podcasts...Any suggestions besides Beats headphone?

Im not as as technically incline as some of the guys replying to this post but only know that with my jaybird freedoms there louder and clearer then my e4gt and wayyyy louder then when i had my 3d. Only other time ive compared beats audio to anything else was car shopping. I test drove a new chrysler 300 with beats audio and thought it was really nice well i bought a 11 hyundai veracruz and that infinit audio system smashes hat beats audio one and my gfs alpine in her lincoln

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Caladbolg:
This. I listen to bass heavy music (dubstep, electronic generally) on a pair of ultrasone DJ1 Pro's. Adding the beats audio makes everything rumble more than it needs to, especially with FLACs
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
You have to either have headphones plugged in OR BT audio playing. It's not active when just playing through the phone speaker.

*The actual "BEATS" audio is only active when you see the red B icon in the notification bar. Disable it by pulling the notification curtain down and unchecking it in the right side.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arrogantbastard:
Beats reminds me of the old school "loudness" button. I get the impression it's meant to try to make highly compressed (e.g. 198k mp3 files) sound a little better on crappy earbuds. If you're listening to high-quality rips (320k or FLAC) on quality headphones or IEMs, Beats just doesn't sound right IMO.

For those looking for the settings:

Within Music while playing with headphones: menu -> sound enhancer

Globally: settings -> sound -> sound enhancer

You can choose different Beats settings within both by tapping the drop-down in the upper left. You get 3 options: urBeats, Solo, and other.
