[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penguinjoe:
doesn't help you if you have TWRP installed on grouper (I did).

Bro, is this documented anywhere? Anywhere at all? I got this image straight from Google along with their instructions on how to install it. There was absolutely no mention whatsoever of this.

Their instructions say nothing about extracting the img files out of the embedded zip file and flashijg them individually. Nor do they say what files are mandatory to be flashed and what isn't. To that I still say "Bad Google" since they documented no such information that allowed me to install this image AND preserve my data/installed apps. I am sure their OTA update wouldn't.

I passed on the information I was given with the image. I am not an android developer. I am an average android user and my post is not meant for android developers who know far more about this than I do. I documented my experiences as an average android user for folks who like me, are also average android users and want to know how to upgrade their ROM without waiting for the OTA. My warnijng is that if the follow the same instructions I was given, they will indeed WIPE THEIR TABLET.

Cheers!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rirere:
Not my problem. You put TWRP there-- you should know how to get it off.

Yep. Android Police ran a huge feature on it recently. You could also look in any of the million forum threads that show up at OTA time or ask if it's possible. There's that too.

I'm sorry, but cry me a river/a.k.a. I have zero sympathy for this point of view. OTAs are meant for end-users and are designed not to wipe data. They roll out in stages to keep things simpler for end-users as well, so that early bugs or problems can be caught and rectified quickly. If you didn't want to wait, more power to you, but it's absolutely not Google's fault here-- it's 100% your own.

Because that link you used to download the files-- do you see that URL? It's developers.google.com. Not "averageuser" or "everybody." The instructions and files are there primarily for developers who know what they're doing, which is why Google doesn't send you a newsletter saying "hey, follow the instructions here!" They warned you in the instructions that the default behavior of those instructions is to wipe your data. Yes, the default. Yes, that means you can do other things.

The moment you decided to do this is the moment you took responsibility for what happened. There happen to be "better" ways of getting this OTA without killing data, if that's what you want, which are really:

a) Learn to use the command line tools, which is the best option in the long run if you want to work with ROMs.

b) Wait for a TWRP-modified update zip.

c) Wait for the OTA.

Full stop.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penguinjoe:
To the asshats that appear to think they know it all - thanks for your input. Not sure what bee crawled up your ass and died there, but thanks for the useful bits of that tirade.

To the others like the OP that have downloaded that image and are attempting to figure out how to install it, my post stands on its own merits. Google's instructions worked just fine for me. The same warning I have given is included in Google's installation instructions - you are installing a full image not an update image.

See Rirere's first post for alternate means of dissecting the installation package and installing without losing your data and apps. If you brick your tablet please feel free to take it up with him.

Cheers!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k.p.:
I'm having the following two problems transferring music and photos, and was wondering if they are known issues with or without workarounds.

1. When I plug the phone into the PC and try to get at photos, I can't see any thumbnails--just generic JPEG icons.

2. Transferring mp3s and photos often just plain fails. I've tried rebooting phone and PC, unplugging and replugging...but it happens seemingly for no reason. As in, I'll successfully transfer one photo or mp3 to the phone fine, and try another one immediately after without changing anything and it'll hang for minutes before declaring itself a failure.

Any help?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DefaultUsr:
MTP

What OS are you running on your PC? If it is Windows XP, then try to install Windows Media Player 11 and run windows update as well.

Galaxy S III does not support USB Mass Storage like older Android phones but rather uses MTP/PTP as the file transfer modes which are only supported out of the box in Windows Vista or later. For Mac OS X, you'd also need to download MTP client.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k.p.:
I'm running Windows 7.

The problem is not that the PC can't handle MTP mode at all. The problem is that it is inconsistent. One album of mp3s will transfer just fine and 30 seconds later a single mp3 won't move at all. And the fact that I can't see image thumbnails (only generic image-file icons) is a real headache.

Obviously one day I'll be rooting and installing CM or something else, but I'd like to be as fully functional as possible until then.

Is anyone else having similar problems?

hi,

i've just tried to install http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721132, but now phone does stuck at boot.

When i try to get into clockworkmod it's full of errors saying "E: ..." could not be mount.

what can i do?

thx
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
what steps did you take for flashing? did you install the proper kernel too?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lol4it:
just updated using clockworkmod the zip from sdcard
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
You really should learn to read a bit of english.

In order to flash this ROM you need the nAa ICS kernel too, which is mentioned in the same post where you got the download from.

But anyway to get your phone working again:

Leave it disconnected from your PC

Start PC Companion or SEUS (whichever you have)

Choose update

(It can't find any updates because your phone is NOT connected to your PC)

It will give you a repair option

click it

it will warn you you will lose all your user-data. (accept that)

it will let you choose your phone-model from a list

choose your phone-model and click next

it will download the firmware and ask you to connect your phone in flashmode

(turn off your phone, press the back-button and plug in the usb-cable OR plug in your usb-cable, press HOME and POWER buttons at the same time until the screen goes really really black and then push the BACK button)

If the dialog on your computer-screen disappears, leave your phone alone until it says it's done.

After these steps, you can try everything again.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lol4it:

but realy thx!

For the record, the AOSP apps from that ZIP do work, just extract them and push them to system/app I tried contacts, phone and MMS so I can vouch for those. Only thing is (and this even happens with the MMS app ported to our phones) MMS messages don't work, only SMS.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mysterioustko:
He did it because the phone had water damage. He probably thought he'd microwave it, fry the circuitry and have no physical evidence of damage. He didn't expect the phone to melt though. Once it melted he knew he was screwed, and so he cooked up a story and tried to play people. I'm sure he didn't expect it to get picked up across tech news outlets. Once it got picked up, it had the potential to be a PR issue for Samsung and the GS3, so Samsung made sure they investigated it thoroughly. Once an investigation was launched, it exposed the lie.

Currently running CM7; trying to upgrade to CM9 (either nightlies or RC) and I can get as far as pressing Start for the initial setup and then it freezes up and restarts itself.

I am at a loss here and would LOVE if someone had any insite on the situation... what am I or could I be doing wrong here?
[General Questions and Answers] andy01q:
It worked for me.

additional to what you already said I was also on S-Off and I installed cm-9.0.0-RC1-pyramid.zip (Release Candidate #1)

Also I came from MIUI and installed via Recovery I think. cm9 comes with clockwork orange-app, so you might try to fiddle with that to install it.

Note, that cm9 RC1 still has some issues, for example I can't unlock my SIM unless I shut it down, no NOT remove the battery, turn it on, wait a few seconds after it is on and only then enter the PIN. After reboot or when going back from flight mode won't work. (This is not reproducable on most pyramid devices) Another issue is that it is really a hassle to get USB-Tethering to work an Windows right now.

Other than that I love it. It is smaller than MIUI and so it lacks some features, but the important stuff just works and it works fast.
[General Questions and Answers] stingray17:
I had exactly the same problem at first when I tried to just directly upgrade to CM9 from a pre-ICS ROM.

To run ICS ROM you will need a newer version of HBOOT and possibly a radio firmware upgrade. The method that worked for me was:

* Start with stock GB ROM running older HBOOT version

* Get S-OFF with Revolutionary

* Get official bootloader unlock from HTCdev

* Use RUU to restore to original Gingerbread factory firmware (removes root and clockworkmod)

* Apply multiple OTA upgrades until unit is running official HTC T-mobile stock ICS ROM

--> Now the phone has a new HBOOT and radio

--> S-OFF is still there, bootloader is still unlocked

* Reinstall clockworkmod (fastboot USB method)

* Optional: do nandroid backup of official ICS ROM

* Clear data, cache, dalvik cache (did not wipe SD card)

* Use cwm to install CM9-RC1 and gapps-20120429

* all working great!

You could probably also just get the RUU for stock ICS and skip the OTA updates, but I already had a TMOUS_1.29.531.2 RUU and I didn't want to possibly risk losing S-OFF (maybe this isn't a problem with other RUUs, I dunno).

There is also a PG58IMG.ZIP update file floating around somewhere which I believe you can use to upgrade your HBOOT and radio without installing a full on factory ROM. I didn't try this method.
