[Thinkpad Tablet General] karlherr:
Just to add to the list - this is what I had to do to get my Thinkpad to update.

I was rooted, and had CWR installed. I downloaded the ICS update from Lenovo's Website (http://download.lenovo.com/slates/think/tablet1) file was (http://download.lenovo.com/slates/think/tablet1/ThinkPadTablet_A310_03_0069_0130_US.zip). I was getting an indigo check error right away though when trying to flash.

I knew that I had to update the updater-script from META-INF\com\google\android\ in the zip file. Ultimately I totally removed the following lines from it:

assert(file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "Lenovo/ThinkPadTablet/Indigo:3.1/ThinkPadTablet_A310_02/0039_0089_US:user/release-keys" ||

file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "Lenovo/ThinkPadTablet/Indigo:4.0.3/ThinkPadTablet_A400_03/0069_0130_US:user/release-keys");

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "Indigo" ||

getprop("ro.build.product") == "Indigo");

I first tried doing this with Notepad++ on windows and ultimately got an error 6 when trying to flash. Luckily I have an Ubuntu (a type of linux) machine laying around and was able to edit the file within the zip using Ubuntu. I copied the ThinkPadTablet_A310_03_0069_0130_US.zip to my network, opened it up in Ubuntu, navigated to META-INF\com\google\android\ and opened updater-script. After removing those lines listed above, I closed out of Gedit and had a prompt asking if it should update the zip. I hit yes and that is the file that worked for me. If you don't have access to a linux machine it may be easy enough for you to make a live CD (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD) that will allow you to boot into Ubuntu and not affect the OS of your computer. You could put your update zip file on a thumbdrive, boot the live cd, and edit it that way. Ubuntu is free and everything you need to update your zip should be included on the live CD (zip utility and a text editor).

With my new edited update.zip I started to flash, got much further and then bombed on busybox. I got the busybox file from this post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1741623) file was (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6846397/Original/busybox). I copied to my thinkpad and moved it to /system/xbin using Root Explorer (I've been an Android user since the G1 and made it this far without Root Explorer but bought it just for this - that App works great and you should get it). If you get an error that you can't write the file hit the Mount R/W at the top (and its always a good idea to rename the original so you have a backup).

At this point I backed up root with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, disabled root, rebooted into CWM and flashed my update. Finally things went smooth, i rebooted into ICS and used Voodoo Root Keeper to restore root.

Something else to note is that if you have a root file explorer (and root) you can browse to /cache/recovery and open the last_log file if you are still getting tripped up to see what is failing.

Now I am updated to ICS, restored root, and lost CWM. Hope this helps some of you guys that are stuck. What a pain this was.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] RAILERSWIM:
At least you have official ICS, we K1 users have been lied to and have been waiting a month for ICS (the 3rd time around) because of some stupid but easy installation of the Play Store.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] me_droid:
Thanks karlherr!

Thanks this worked very well! I'm late to the ICS party and spent hours reading through the various forums today before happening upon your post. I followed your advice pretty much to the letter except that I found that I could get the same results in windows 7 without having to go to linux. There is a gedit for windows at http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gedit/ . I used 7Zip, with gedit selected as the editor. I was able to open the ICS update.zip in 7Zip, edit out the indigo entry, and save the zip. Worked except that updater couldn't find notesmobile_len-oem.apk in system\apps though it was installed. Pulled that from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1243218 (thanks WyldStyl3) and then the update went through.

Need Help wit CWM Install

Thanks

Thanks for the links. Have read hundreds of threads but did not see any instructions on how to activate the PEN ONLY FUNCTION on the Lenovo Thinkpad US Version Running the rooted Jellybean. But I figured it out on my own. Here is how in case anyone else is interested.

1. Make sure your hardware buttons at the bottom edge are turned on.

2. TOggle the second button from the left and it changes from "touch screen off to on.

Then you can use your pen when the touch screen is off.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] norkarnt:
Thank you very much for this detailed and COMPLETE instruction set :)

I was crawling threads on various forums for three days now, and finally I am able to run the update.

Good work, u saved my weekend :)

[Thinkpad Tablet General] timjordan777:
Your welcome

Yea I know how frustrating that search was. Glad to help. By the way the 4.1.2 is great and clears all of the Lenovo useless and unsupported apps from the:good: tablet. You will have to purchase the full version of Docs To Go however. And Writepad is a good substitute for Notes Mobile.

[HTC One X] PatimusXPrime:
I have a Dinc2 on vzw and I'm looking to upgrade. The new Inc4g isn't as beefy as I'd like it to be and the Samsung Nexus is really my only other option.. I like HTC and the One X is BOSS but it's not on vzw... I've been looking around to try and get a definite answer and i always dread calling verizon about anything like this...

If i go and buy a One X and get it unlocked, slap in a new vzw sim card, and change the network mode to 4G/CDMA -- will it work?!
[HTC One X] Flo95:
I guess not, because the One X is a GSM phone and not a CDMA one.

It's missing the radios you'd need to have service with Verizon

Hi all,

I tried to use the unofficial CM7 by alquez. They finally got the video and BT bug fixed, but with that fix my USB stopped working. I can neither access the sdcard from the computer nor can I use usb-tethering which is the biggest pain for me.

anyone else experiencing this problem? or can someone advice me how to debug the problem?

I have a Wildfire S A510e with baseband 47.23c.35.3037H_7.54.39.28M

I tried the CM7 version from June 16th with the kernel from eoghan2t7 and now the cm7 version from july 17th. both show the same usb-problem.

Bro the contacts will be backed up on your Google account. You need to flash gapps. Register an account. Sign in. And finally let it restore the contacts backup.

Don't forget to smash that thanks button down since its being a big meanie!

Hey guys. I have a friend who runs gingeritis 3D on his Thunderbolt, but runs it on ADW launcher rather than HTC sense.

Anyone know if this is possible?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bob_frapples:
Stupid question here.

With my Incredible, I would turn off 3g when at home and turn it on/turn off wi-fi when on the road. I thought it would save battery but I assume the phone is smart enough to use wifi and shut off 3g/4g if it can.

I know you should turn off wi-fi if you are on the road so it doesn't waste battery searching for wi-fi but is there any advantage to shutting off 3g/4g when wi-fi is available?

Installing Bugless Beast right now in case in makes any difference (Jelly Bean ROM).

Yea if you're not using any data, turn all the radios off, just like if you're using wifi, might as well turn off the other radios.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
I have been wishing for a remote to control my phone while it is tucked away in my console and connected to my stereo. I know there are head units that have this built in but my system is factory and I am not looking to replace it. So in searching I ran across this product and ordered it today. It is mainly for Apple but reports say it works on many android devices, though I didn't find the GS2 meantioned specifically. Once I get it in and test it out I will report back my findings in case anyone else is interested.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] collinsac24:
Interested!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Ok it finally showed up today. It took a lot longer than I expected to get here but it was well worth the wait. All I can say is wow. This thing is fantastic. Works better than I exprected.

The remote is small and light. Would prefer a more solid feel to it but it is great for what it is. It has a dedicated on and off button. It paired to my phone in about 10 seconds, didn't even pull the instructions out :). I put my phone inside my desk drawer to test. It is a solid wooden contruction. Pushing play starts your default music player automatically. I could play, pause, previous track, next track, volume up, volume down and mute. The camera button also works. You can open the camera app and take pictures with the remote. While you aren't listening to music the volume buttons control the ringer volume. And if you press and hold the play button it will launch svoice (if installed). So while my phone is in the car I can open pandora, play music or whatever without touching the phone. It has a keyboard button which doesn't seem to do anything, on this phone at least. It also has a home button which if long pressed opens the task manager. While the phone was in my desk I walked to the kitchen and was still able to use the remote. This is about 15 feet from my desk. After that I walked to the front of the office, which is on the other side of the kitchen at about 25 feet and it still worked.

The only downsides I could find are that it connects as a bluetooth keyboard which causes a slight problem. When it connects it sets the samsung keyboard as default and then the samsung keyboard keeps crashing until you go into settings and make swype or whatever else the default keyboard. After that it works perfectly. This may impact other keyboard apps also. Not sure as I only use swype. To me this is a minor issue as the purpose is to not be using the phone while the remote is connected. Plus there may be a work around like uninstalling the samsung keyboard. The only other issue, also minor, is that the battery cover is extremely hard to get off. Good thing the batteries are supposed to last for months. This, of course, remains to be seen since I just got it.

Even with the minor problems I still give this remote a solid 5 stars as it does exactly what I wanted it to do and exceeded my expectations. Also I am testing this on Team Rejectz FF18 Universe 1.4. I will perform a EL29 test and stock FF18 test at a later point and see if it works the same.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] collinsac24:
oh s*** didn't know it had a built in keyboard till I re checked the Amazon pics. I see you said the button doesn't work but does does the keyboard work at all?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
No it isn't really a keyboard. It only has numbers for entering the pin on Bluetooth connection. Not sure what the keyboard button is for yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] collinsac24:
I should have zoomed in on the picture:o sorry haha alright thanks think I'll go ahead and order one or look around for a slightly cheaper version but this one looks great so I may just get it :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
If you find something else let me know please.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
OK I tested out EL29 and FF18 stock and here are my findings.

EL29 - Did not work. The only buttons that would work are the volume buttons. None of the other buttons worked. I was using Calks stock deodexed rom. Did not care to test any other roms.

Stock FF18 - Worked even better. It did not have the keyboard crashing that I experienced on Universe 1.4. It still made the Samsung keyboard default but it worked with no errors or force closing. Which makes it much nicer to use. The camera button only controls zoom because the volume rocker does zoom by defualt. Replace the camera app with a modded one that takes pictures with the volume rocker and problem solved. You don't have the ability to control apps by voice since svoice isn't installed. May be able to work around this but haven't tried anything else. Also the keyboard does not switch back to your default after disconnecting the remote. It stays on the Samsung Keyboard and you have to manually switch it.

Fixes: Ok I pulled the camera app from Universe and put it on the stock Deodexed rom to fix the camera issue. I installed SVoice from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1668824&highlight=svoice and now I can access that from the remote by long pressing play/pause. Now if I can figure out how to get the S3 Samsung Keyboard on the S2 I will be set.

Note: You can't pair multiple devices at the same time. It is one at a time. If you change the pairing to device 2 you have to delete it on device1 and repair it again if you want to use it again on device1.

Let me know how that works. I prefer the remote I have for its size and usability in the car but that would be a good keyboard to have for a tablet or the phone in a pinch.

I prefer the remote as well but I'm hoping this could be used just as easily but if not I can just go ahead and get an actual remote later and still have what I hope to be a good keyboard since its only 10$ it's not to bad I guess.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Forgot to mention that removing the samsung keyboard fixed the keyboard issues for me. I have swype and ICS keyboard installed. I use Swype by default and it stays default after removing the samsung keyboard.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kn0wBuddy:
I have one of those keyboards. It works pretty well and $10 is a good price (I think mine was $28 at Best Buy). I haven't tried using it as a remote however, so I can't comment on that functionality.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] collinsac24:
Well I finally got it today and it worked as a keyboard for about 5 minutes till I got curious and pressed the ime button now it just does shortcuts no keyboard, but as a remote this thing is perfect especially for 10$, it has the very occasional lag when changing modes it will alive freeze up, but it's only happened once so far and I haven't been able to repeat it. The software included is useless though.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
You only need to be rooted to remove bloatware. But the lockscreen thing is another matter.

Its easy to see if your bootloader is locked or not, by going into bootloader (AKA Hboot):

In Settings>Power, uncheck "Fast boot"

Then power off the phone fully. With phone off, hold volume down, and press power button for a few seconds, and release power (don't let go of volume down). Keep holding volume down until a white screen shows up with various text. This is the bootloader. It will say on the top "LOCKED" "UNLOCKED" or "RELOCKED"
