Hi Folks

Recently purchased an Huawei E3131 mobile broadband dongle which is supposed to be compatible with an Aushuo A816. Dongle has been unlocked and can connect to any network on PC. :fingers-crossed:

Mine does not work :crying:

Couple of problems. :crying:

1. when I go to settings.wireless and network settings , mobile networks have ticked Data enabled and data roaming. when I click on network operators and search for networks i get " error while searching for networks "

2. when in access point names I have one item " O2 UK " and if I try to enter say " Tmobile UK " and save it does not appear in list even after a restart.

So I am completely lost. Needless to say it works fine on PC and network coverage on andorid phone gives me 4 bars and -91db coverage so should connect OK

Any suggestions / advice welcome.

Renate NST suggested I post this in this forum

To all the developers - Thanks in advance for all the GREAT work!

The Saga

Installed touchnooter-2-1-31 and NST hung on install.

Waited an hour and rebooted

NST booted to "walking dots"

Used n2T-Recovery_0.2

Went thru "start-up" dialog (register, etc) and got the machine running again.

Noticed that NST SW was at 1.0

Updated NST to 1.1.2

Installed touchnooter-2-1-31.

Boot screen was "Read Forever"

Android fired up.

Missed the select ADW - should have done that

Button Savior wanted Superuser - should have done that

Buttons on side grayed out

Used n2T-Recovery_0.2 again

did not get me to the "register" start-up dialog

Updated NST to 1.1

Installed touchnooter-2-1-31 again

Boot screen is still "Read Forever"

Same action on buttons - grayed out

So .... my take on this is given the multiple installs I have scrambled something but good.

Is there a way to get to square zero?

Will the erase and de-register do that?

Is there a way to correct the ADW / Button Savior issues?

Is there a way to get to Android despite to side buttons?

Thanks in advance for any help.

The NST works as a reader - so I'm not dead - just wounded
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
I think you're jumping the gun on doing recovery. When you reboot, aren't you at the ADW Launcher screen? It's been a while since I rooted my NST using TouchNooter (TN), but I believe you can launch the Superuser app after a basic TN root and change the settings for any apps you goofed on (e.g. Button Savior). Just launch Superuser, click the icon of the desired app at left, then click the little android icon at right to toggle the Status between Allowed and Denied.

Erase & Deregister Device in Settings->Device info should suffice to get you back to an unrooted state for a repeat attempt, assuming you can get to it. I've used it many times. If not, power off, then press & hold the lower left & right buttons as you power back on for a few seconds to get a factory reset option. I believe this would have helped you after that first TN hang. You could just retry after a factory reset and reboot. (Haven't had to do this myself, so not 100% sure.)

Download and install Default App Manager from the Google Market to change your default launcher so you can set it to ADW, or whatever you prefer. This works for changing defaults for any app, so is a good thing to keep around.

For the side buttons, do you mean the hard side buttons? You can change those settings with the Side buttons option in NookTouch Tools.

Also in NTT, you can change the 'n' button behavior to take you straight to your home app (ADW) if you don't like the QuickLaunch menu (I do). Be sure to check the Show extra action buttons in recent option, and you'll get Back, Home, Menu, Search and Orientation buttons (just like Button Savior) when you long-press the 'n' button, as well as your most recent apps.

As I mentioned in a separate post, I prefer to use NookTouch Tools to override the B&N QuickLaunch options to eliminate the need for Button Savior or similar apps altogether. Between a QuickLaunch option or two, and the extra options in the recent apps dialog, I've got those options covered. I did remap two of the hardware side buttons to Back and Menu just because they're handy.

I've had very good luck using TouchNooter, but you do have to read the step-by-step directions carefully. There are ways around most problems if you can get to ADW.

Good luck with it!
[Nook Touch General] WorkenOnIt:
It boots to the reader ... buttons are there on the right side, but grayed out and non-functional (no superuser on button.savior)

So .. is there something I can boot from off the SD card that would allow me to

1.) Set ADW as the default, and / or

2.) Give Button.Savior the Superuser permissions?

Erase and Dereg is available as I only have access to the reader and not ADW.

Thanks for the help folks!
[Nook Touch General] roustabout:
Were I the original poster, I would recover from my nonrooted backup image and re-root, or if I could not find it or found it but found that it was not 1.8 gig in size, would force factory reset (first, erase and deregister, then 8 failed, IIRC, to get both /system and /data wiped.)

Once I'd done a full reset, if I'd needed to do it that way, I'd boot from noogie and make my backup.

Then i'd reroot, probably using one of the Clockwork-based tools rather than the Touchnooter system, as it seems that

folks are sometimes seeing TN not quite finish (it happened to me on occasion) and the Clockwork tools seem to be

very robust, enough so that the Glownooter uses clockwork.

I actually like to really baseline something like this and be sure there's no odd cruft hanging out in /system or /data that may confuse me later.
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
You're definitely seeing some odd behavior. I always wound up at ADW on any reboot.

You should still be able to get to it via Settings->Device Info. In my experience, erase and dereg was sufficient to make another rooting attempt, but you might want to get back to ground zero. The restore option you've been using, a restore from backup as roust suggests, or doing the 8 failed boot attempts are all options. Be sure to update to whatever version of firmware you want before attempting.

Roust: After you do a CWM noot, what version does Device info show? Mine always shows 1.1.0 after TN, even though I updated to 1.1.2 previously. This has to do with some of the framework tweaking, IIRC. My TN may be old by now.
[Nook Touch General] WorkenOnIt:
To all,

Thanks for all your help.

I did an Erase and Deregister.

That appeared to work

Checked firmware - was 1.1.0

Tried to reload TouchNooter (2-1-31)

Screen hung again - like the first time.

Waited 30 minutes and pulled the SD and rebooted.

Boot screen still says "Read Forever"

Went thru the startup dialog and selected the ADW launcher and allowed superuser on the button.savior.

I can now "complete the action" with the ADW launcher and the side keys function.

Everything appears to be working ...

Gmail gets to the account ..

Now why does it still say "Read Forever"?

Anyway - again - thanks for the help

This can be closed ... but I dont think it is "solved"
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
When TN completes, you just get the black screen. This is not spelled out in step 8 of Gabrial's procedure, but it is mentioned in the on-screen instructions. Is that what you were seeing?

When I first power mine on, I get the "Read Forever" screen which is shortly followed by the rolling dots as the device boots. After a few moments, I get the slider unlock screen. Is that what you're seeing?

If so, I think that's normal.

Once you unlock, you're at the ADW screen now, right? Or at least you can get back to it in some way?
[Nook Touch General] WorkenOnIt:
Screen never blanked .. it did in tries #2 and #3 .. but not #1 and this last one

I thought it would say "Root Forever" ... but hey, as long as it works!

It boots to the "Home" reader .. but buttons on side (House) get me to the ADW / Reader selection
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
Good to hear it's working. If you don't like the side buttons that Button Savior uses, you can use Nook Touch Tools to provide a couple of alternatives.

You should also be able to change your default Home app using the technique I described above.

IIRC, the "rooted forever" screen only shows during the rooting process. I think Noogie uses that.

While I'm sure everyone is aware of the difficulties in scratching a Gorilla Glass scratches, I have recently discovered the keyboard dock's ability to hold pieces of sand nightly on the glass. Because it is not the tightest joint, the wiggling leads to scratches. Like the tiny one I now have. :(

TL;DR: Be sure to clean the keyboard dock joint DAILY to prevent scratches.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
Its no secret GG doesnt scratch with metal from keys or blades because the glass is harder than the blade. It WILL, however, be abraised by sand or even gritty dust. (Dont think sand box, think pocket lint or random dust like what might be picked up from every day uses)

How many times must it be said? your screen is not indistructable. Use a screen protector, be cautious of where things move against it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nextelbuddy:
then explain how my SGSII with the same gorilla glass has 0 scratches on it and I have had it longer with no screen protector and use it daily in my pocket, in the car thrown around compared to my prime that scratches when you practically blow on it?

the gorilla glass on the prime stinks compared to other devices, its like they cheaped out and either didn't coat the glass or coated it too lightly to save money.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Yeah, because the Prime uses a cheaper version of Gorilla glass , right.... :rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Parastie:
No, I don't think it stinks. You take your SGII and place a piece of sand on it with a sheet of metal holding the sand to the glass. Now, move the metal bank and forth for about 5 minutes (remember to use light pressure) in a spot about 1mm in diameter. Now tell me if you get a scratch. I'll bet you do, and that's what happens when you have sand in the dock socket.

Hello, I am lost and can really use some help. I am rooted with CWM, I have flashed EL26 kernel and I would like to flash either wicked sensations or blu kuban rom. My question is what happens to all my data, like my contacts, apps I downloaded, etc.? Would I lose all that in the new rom? I did a back up using my backup pro and I also have done a phandorid back up in CWM. I really want to flash but I am scared of losing everything. Please help...

Also, which rom do you all think is better for me, blu kuban or the wicked sensations?

Thank you all so much for your help!!!

[HTC Rezound] dezignstuff:
Starting from stock, I've successfully followed the instructions at htc dev, and the bootloader now says "unlocked". I'm having a problem flashing the amon-ra image as outlined on Scotty's site (http://androidforums.com/rezound-al...ys-noob-friendly-root-guide-start-finish.html) when in ADB I type "fastboot devices", adb responds that it can't find the device. This is after the rest of the procedure worked, and it was recognized using "adb devices".

I only want to get to root at this point. I'm not going to flash ics. The Go Launcher gives me what I want, but I want to trim out some bloat, so I want root.

Can anyone see where I've gone wrong?
[HTC Rezound] dezignstuff:

Hey guys! I followed the rooting guide from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC...l_Update_Guide to get CM7 and all went well however I'm looking to gain S-ON and have my device unrooted once again for servicing. However the CM forums have no helpful information on doing so or a guide to revert. So if possible can someone explain to me the method used in the CM guide to gain S-OFF and root? I don't want to follow a unroot or S-ON tutorial if its a different method and risk a brick!

Thanks! ;)

P.S If its an easy fix through adb post the commands if possible thx again :fingers-crossed:

hey guys. I used XPlay a lot of. Now, what should I do to my S3. I want long battery life and good performance ( like all s3 users ^^ )

Which Roms, kernels should I use ? Or Should I use stock ? Aand, How can I unlock my bootloder ? ( What this action in Samsung development, s-off, or something like this ? )

Thanks and Hello to everyone ! :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegeta1:
unlike sony phone ... u just need to root ur samsung phone

theres nothing like unlocking bootloader thing to do in samsung

for best performance i will say u stay with default stock rom

just root it with cwm by chainfire v1.5

and that should be all
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegeta1:
sorry ... forgot to say hi :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android Is ReadyTo Play.:
Woow thanks a lot for quick message !

But, how can I flash kernel or rom ? And I think I should install a driver for S3. right ? :crying:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boldizzle:
You don't need to flash a kernel, just stick with the default and stock rom.

I used to have a Samsung Captivate and flashed the hell out of that phone just coz out of the box it was pretty crap but this phone is so great on stock that all I've done is root. Haven't even bothered putting CWM on it.

Oh, and hi also! :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android Is ReadyTo Play.:
Oh its good. I think I just need root. And, I want AOSP look. Is there any theme like this ? ( I asked Kernel question because In Sony, custom kernels have better battery life than stock kernels. So this isn't right in this section. ? Right ? :D )
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegeta1:
yeah i guess dark knight kernal is quite gud

so far devs are making kernals better and better , but its quite a bit time more needed

so fot now i can say cwm 5.5.0.4 v 1.5 by chain fire is best for you

and there roms for that or just go for go launcher it has themes for that looks :)

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] _Allan_:
Got the Rogers ICS update finally!

HOWEVER ... afterwards here are a few issues I'm having:

Reduced Battery Life (assuming it has to do with issue #3)

Reduced Reception (Used to get -75 dBm, and now get -95dBm - sitting in the SAME spot. No change in towers, or tower locations.)

Would really like to be able to shut off "Background Data" like I could before. (i.e. in GB, Menu > Settings > Accounts & synch, uncheck Background Data)

WiFi is Weak ... I sit 4 feet from my "N" router, my laptop gets 100% signal, the phone 50-60%

LanucherPro works, Launcher Pro Paid version works, BUT ... I can't use the calendar widget.

I've "made do" with some creative widget-ing. (Used the built in calendar, and adjust the size (5 icons wide, 4 icons tall), and have a smaller 2 tall by 3 wide month calendar widget below) (how do I have 5 columns, and 6 rows? The paid version of Launcher Pro allows me to set that - and it works AWESOMELY - no problem with the screen.)

Too much Rogers Bloat (if I wanted UrMusic, 1 Contacts, 1 Number, Games etc), and the stupid Twitter app. If I wanted it, I'd download it.

Some good things:

LIKE the new font - clock, menu's etc are a non-bold font.

Like the Task Manager (hold home, swip an app to close it.)

Like the blue highlights under the Power Control Bar (used to be green)

LOVE the updates to Gmail and WebKit browser.

Phone seems for the most part, "snappier" - as if the CPU and GPU are being utilized properly.

And a single "side by side" of GB and ICS on the same device:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Prolab:
Well, if you want to get rid of the Rogers bloatware - root your phone and use Titanium Backup to clear them out.

I noticed about that with WiFi, but i did a reset and it works well now for me. As per the signal, mine actually improved.

Easiest / Safest way to root with ICS?

When I had Gingerbread and an HTC Panache, when I tried to run Gingerbreak, it caused com.android.phone to loop crash, requiring a full reset of the phone... which I don't want to do again.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Reduced battery life most likely has to do with the fact that you have Advanced Task Killer on 4.0.3 and not on 2.3.5. Get rid of that crap IMMEDIATELY. It's been unnecessary since Froyo dropped aeons ago.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Prolab:
I followed these set of instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416836

Mind you, im still running the stock rogers ICS with an unlocked bootloader and rooted.

Its quite easy really, just follow his instructions.

And +1 getting rid of Task killers. Its great that i dont need them anymore and ICS has done quite well in managing memory.

It might seem a little daunting but I can assure you it isn't that bad. For your purposes you only need to do steps 1 and 4. I've spent a lot of time making the directions thorough for those who haven't done anything like this before (for example, even explaining how to open up a command prompt).

Let me also point out, that I have "Attention Deficit Hyper Disorder" ... just LOOKING at the instructions gives me a feeling of dread. I paid a guy a few years ago, to unlock my Moto Razr V3I because it had be disassembled. (Now, I build computers, but the parts are ALL the same for the most part... the most complicated thing I've done recently was install a HDD in an Asus G53Sw which requires removing the keyboard, wrist pad, and 15 screws. *L*)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Hey i got add too man. Im not sure if it still works but there is an all in one windows gui in the stick is, I'd this is all to difficult that might be your best bet. If it doesn't still work someone please correct me!

Overall though using adb and rooting isn't too hard. I'd say go through now and read through it, then read through it again. Then when it comes time to root read the instructions again and follow them step by step.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Then do a step and take 10 minute breaks in between each. :p

You already have ICS, so that shaves off a step.

- Do step 1 in the superguide to unlock your bootloader, or unlock the bootloader using the all-in-one toolkit

- Do step 4 in the superguide (it really doesn't take long... it consists of flashing a recovery from adb and flashing a zip in recovery, won't even take you ten minutes and I'd like to think the instructions are pretty detailed)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jbplumbing.ca:
How did you root rogers ICS I try and it installs SuperUser and Terminal emulator but it doesnt seem to root I go into TE and cant get # sign. I have a custom recovery but not root access.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Go to the guide in my signature and download the attachment called "VIVID_CWM_ROOT_VER2.zip" and flash that zip in recovery. Should do the trick. Flash it two or three more times if it doesn't stick at first.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jbplumbing.ca:
I got recovery via the all in one kit, I followed those instructions to perma root, copied the file to my internal sdcard and flashed it from recovery. The first time it said updating android but now it just boots up like nothing happened but it says SU not found in terminal emulator. wont go #

I have tryed 5 times, do I just keep flashing till it works?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Hm... Have you tried that zip in my guide? It's worked for others. Otherwise we might just have to have you flash the SU binary.

I tryed to use the perma root button on the all in one kit first it installed su but it force closed the first time. would that make a differance?

What recovery are you using?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jbplumbing.ca:
CWM 5.5.0.4

Is that no good?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Damn... A lot of people are having issues with it. Follow step 4 in the guide in my signature. Except when you are doing the fastboot code from your command prompt, do that a few times. So do it once, reboot, unplug and repeat that a couple more times to make sure everything CWM related is gone. Then move on and flash the zip in step 4 to perm root.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jbplumbing.ca:
I fast boot flashed wcx 3 times and the vivid.zip file 4 times and nothing I get /system/bin/sh: su : not found

if I flash holics and custom kernel will that give me root?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Odd. Yea flashing a custom ROM/recovery will perm root as well.
