[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex9090:
Agreed with android commander. It has always worked for me. There are other solutions too with these new kernels these days. You can download Devil kernel or subzero via PC(They both include new file manager in recovery).Put it on your external card, flash, reboot back into recovery. Mount your internal and external cards from mounts and storage menu. Go to file manager and copy/paste away.

I am running a 1839 US 0089 Thinkpad Tablet w/Clockwork Recovery and want to restore back to my stock recovery to allow my ICS upgrades to go off w/o a hitch.

Since Lenovo sucks in that it does incremental patches/updates vs a full updates.zip build, can we extract this from an update build and push to our devices?

i have not seen much info on this on the interwebz. i have several nandroid backups but of course those where taken using CWR, ie vicious circle.. :)

if i find out any info, i'll post updates here too. :good:

TIA!

UPDATE: on ICS! see notes below and link to thread that helped me get there!

this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1741623

resolved all of my issues! power button replaced and the new button looks much more beefier (reinstalled my gobi card after getting back from lenovo).

they did reset software BUT they did not restore the stock recovery image. grr.. anywho, for anyone interested i made notes on what i did to finally get on ICS. i recommend doing a factory reset after updating to ics too. helped w/my inital lag issues.

(my notes from in that post )

i have just restored your nandroid and also put hte two files you mentioned in place (Original generic.kl and Original wpa_supplicant). i am using a 64GB USA TPT too. i plan to make an updated nandroid before i try ota 2 and then ics and if all goes well, i'll post the updated nandroid in this thread.

update1:

after doing the above, i then:

-restored the stock recovery after your nandroid, rebooted twice still on cwr recovery

-did not seem to work at first however i then reran an custom update.zip for 0089US_CWR

-did a check for updates and noticed it went to the stock recovery update

-now am updating to ics!! hopefully that will go through smoothly.

update2:

-getting busybox assert error, putting busybox file in play next. used voodoo rootkeeper to make backup to keep root on ics too. temp unrooted, trying update again.

update3:

ICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'll post nandroid later today and can confirm these files combined w/a cwr update to 0089 got me out of my failed update funk. thanks again all!

My Contribution/Files:

note: i have a 64GB USA TPT (1839-27U). was running CWR and was rooted.

-USA, OTA2 Nandroid w/Original generic.kl and Original wpa_supplicant in place. You will still need to add back the busybox file after you update to 0089

nandroid zip

-0089 CWR update zip (not made by me, found somewhere on xda)

cwr update zip
[Thinkpad Tablet General] seamonkey420:
close but not there yet..

Noticed on this thread an uninstall actions given you backed up the install-recovery.sh (which of course i didn't, doh!)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21962380&postcount=1

I am running CWR 64gb version (US) and ran these commands via commandline and adb:

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

cat /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.backup > /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

dd if=/system/recovery-from-boot.p of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

the "cat /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.backup > /system/etc/install-recovery.sh " action came back with a file does not exist but i continued but now seem to have NO recovery. I am able to boot into Honeycomb no probs and can do any adb task i need. i have since repushed the cwr recovery.

any thoughts my TPT geeks? :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] seamonkey420:
i have a totally new approach on this. i have a work TPT (same exact model and build) that is 100% stock. i plan to try to temp boot to CWR on it w/o installing it and capturing a nandroid of it.

once i have a full 100% stock 0089 US nandroid and can confirm it updates to ICS, i will post a link to it (if that is kosher w/xda, i'll have to re-read the forum rules again)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mandrsn1:
If you download the 89 update from the lenovo download site, you can pull the files you need from it.

However, I just updated to ICS with CWR on my tablet and now have ICS (with stock recovery).
[Thinkpad Tablet General] seamonkey420:
no luck here on my end. i have a nandroid backup from after applying 89 updates and made sure not to remove any items. however my power button my tpt just broke and i think i even have a working update.zip i resigned (removed the indigo checks) but now can't test.

:( guess i'm waiting for ICS until i get my tpt fixed up.

UPDATE:

called lenovo support about power button and also inquired on reloading software/if i get same motherboard in tablet (which i do). Lenovo will be reloading my tpts rom to the stock rom after button fixing. gotta send it in but i got it through work so i have the awesome ez-warranty :) so perhaps (if you can wait and don't mind losing all data) others that are having upgrades may be able to send in their tpts. i honestly wish lenovo would just create a full/stock ICS rom that us w/issues updating can push via adb. i'll see if i can get that nandroid made of a stock ICS USA TPT (1839) w/o having to put on cwr but temp unrooted once mine's back.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] dragonforce11:
Hello, does anyone else have issues with the auto focus on the video camera? I've posted this in a few other threads but have yet to see any response as to possible cause/solution. Whenever I go to the camcorder, the auto focus will keep going in and out of focus, even if I'm not moving the camera and I'm focused on a still object, causing the video to appear blurry and distracting. Anyone have a solution for this? None of the other galaxy s3 variants have this issue (as far as I've seen), and I believe Engadget noticed this in their review, so I don't think this is just me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] og.man:
Same here...

I can't help much other than to tell you that I have noticed the exact same problem. In fact, I found your post while searching for a solution. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? Is it a defect?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] duxup:
I have no solution but you're not alone. I've seen the same issue. The auto focus seems to reset, and have to refocus a lot. I've seen it repeatedly taking with videos of my kid, even when the subject isn't moving. The camera seems to roll all the way through its entire range of focus before settling back down, even on non moving subjects already in focus. This seems to even occur in situations that should be easy to focus on the subject or stay focused.

The same thing seems to happen with the still camera if you just let it sit but of course since you don't notice it as it just needs to be in focus when it shoots.

Very annoying and seems to be worse sometimes, less so others but I haven't yet figured out what conditions it occurs the most in.

[HTC Sensation] anthonyly:
Just wondering if the CM9 camera can be changed to stock htc camera some how,will this ever happen?

i've tried ucam the only one that i found closest isn't good enough...
[HTC Sensation] aznprodgy:
sadly, no. there is a Camera apk to flash to have the same resolution photos as Sense, but the UI will still be the same. I included it in a different thread if you would like to give it a shot(not my work tho)

or you could try out Virtuous Inquisition. Its basically a Sense rom, de-Sensed, with AOSP added throughout. but it does keep some functions like the camera and others I forgot :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Morrisme:
I tried searching, but the search is down?

I have spent several hours looking.

I used odin (phone went into download mode without issue) to put my phone back to stock so I could get the ota update.

Went back into download mode with Odin to install CWM, this "passed" and after a restart my phone went into samsung recovery, not CWM.

Now my phone will not go into download mode? I tried different cable, ports, etc.

any help?
[Verizon Droid Charge] leoingle:
so what is it doing since it's not going into download mode.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Morrisme:
it wouldn't do anything, I finally reinstalled the drivers and after holding down the power and volume - let go... nothing! push the volume - twice and it went into download mode. Odin recognizes it and goes through the motion, but the phone has a AX_timeout in red at the top left corner of the screen?

Odin continues and say's passed, but when I try to reboot into CWM it hangs on the samsung logo.

It will not boot into recovery, but it will start the phone and everything seems to work.

im using odin 1.83 / windows 7 64bit.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
Remove the battery, put the phone in download mode, put the battery back in, and flash CWM. Before you fully boot the OS, flash a custom kernel. If you don't flash a custom kernel, the default kernel will overwrite CWM with the default recovery.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stebomurkn420:
I would try using odin v1.82... My experience with this tool has told me that our charge doesnt always "play nice" with other versions... Also try redownloading the latest CWM, you could of had a bad download.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stebomurkn420:
Also in my experience I have had CWM recovery with the stock kernel... So something seems funny, stock kernel must not always overwrite custom cwm... Hmmmm. Who can help us here....????
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
If you happen to flash a ROM that doesn't include the script that the kernel calls for the overwrite, then you could have ended up with CWM on a stock kernel.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
There's a script, can't remember where it's at, that is run at boot to replace the recovery. If that script is not there, it doesn't get replaced. All custom roms have it removed.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
[Verizon Droid Charge] stebomurkn420:
Hmmm... So your saying there basically wasnt a way for me to have cwm with stock rom/kernel with root... I could have swore I had that setup at some point...
[Verizon Droid Charge] kintwofan:
There is, root, boot up, delete the script power off, re root and you're good
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
There is. You can download the Superuser CWM to your phone, flash CWM, boot immediately to CWM (don't let it boot normally), flash Superuser, and reboot.

At that point, if you desire, you can delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and reflash CWM if you want to keep it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stebomurkn420:
You think this would work on the nexus... Seems its kind of a universal method...?

I have Gederom and Apex Launcher installed. I manage to find the screen orientation in the Apex settings, but when I change it to 'only landscape', it still goes to portrait when I turn it while in an app. I don't know if that is just how it works, but if not, I would appreciate some help to keep it locked to landscape only.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dasanko:
Have you tried, while it's in landscape mode, going into Settings -> Display -> Rotation -> Unchecking "Auto-Rotate screen" ?

You can add a button to the notification bar in order to turn it off and on comfortably, as well.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
If you have cwm just flash a stock .zip no root from asus or the dev forum and that'll wipe Everything.

If not factory reset is fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
nvflash will wipe everything. Factory reset might work, but I think it preserves wifi passwords. Do a factory reset and see if it remembers your wifi connections. Installing a (stock) rom via a zip file will usually NOT wipe data.

To be safe, you should wipe the entire data partition.

For some reason the "search" function is missing from this forum right now?

I'm looking for the stock weather widget that has been in most all Samsung Galaxy phones lately.

It wasn't on my stock SIII for some reason. Well it was installed but just "not there".

And it's not on the custom ROM I just flashed either.

Really, really like this weather widget.

I have a super old APK but would prefer a more recent one with the newer updates.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Waitzar:
I am also interested in this too. I don't like stock Weather widget that came with Galaxy SIII. I like the one that is on Galaxy SII and Galaxy Note where it shows you current weather condition plus forecast for next 4 days. I don't know why Samsung got rid of it on Galaxy SIII.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Zoidpilot:
This has nothing to do with the OP.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Zoidpilot:
Try downloading a custom TWiz ROM or the stock one and pulling the APK. Push it to your system apps and reboot. I hope that works for you
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] CZ Eddie:
I had trouble figuring out how to pull an apk from the tar.md5 stock ROM.

But I ended up having to restore to the original ROM via odin.

So I took the opportunity to root & do a titanium backup of the Accuweather app.

I then extracted the .apk.gz and copied the .apk to /data/apps, but the Accuweather app doesn't come up in my installed programs or widgets list.

Also tried installing directly from the .apk but it said it could not install.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] magn2o:
Here you go: http://cl.ly/292X2A283Y3a410y3Q35

Just extract to /system/apps and verify permissions.

Didn't work for me either. But thank you anyways!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] RampageRR:
If you're on the stock odexed from, you'll need the .odex files. I believe you also need both .apk files, accuweather and also accuweather_main.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] CZ Eddie:
I'm on DietICS.

My stock ROM had Accuweather working.

Couldn't manage to get it from that ROM to DietICS though.

Whether by TitaniumBackup or from copying the three .apk's from /system/app of stock ROM to /system/app of DietICS.

Yes, rw for the first row (top to bottom) r for second row and r for third. Worked for me. But for some reason when I rebooted and looked in my manage all apps, couldnt find the old DSP.
