Thanks! I tried this and sorted, but my folders still the same :( (Applications did sort, though, and that's awesome). I even restarted phone.

No one else encountering this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ohshift33:
Ok. So i have been searching around a bit and can not find another person (or thread at least) about this issue. I have a Inspire 4G from AT&T on straight talk's network. I am attempting to Wi-Fi tether after rooting (AAHK), however i always get the message from the phone stating that i need to dial *611 and talk to AT&T. Tried talking to them, but didn't get anywhere fast seeing as i have no account, nor account history with them. I have also attempted to use "Wi-Fi tether for root users" from the Play store, but it does not assign IP addresses to any device i connect to the network. The icon for that particular app stays yellow, but on the other phones that i have tested it on the icon turns green and everything works fine. But to be honest i would rather use the option in the settings menu if possible. Any thoughts anyone? Please dont hold the fact that im a noob against me, i got my training wheels in dev on PSP's and DS's, just starting to delve into the Android Dev world.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mcg177:
Never had a problem with it after I flashed to a sense free from like asopx works great actually and for Facebook and general surfing its surprisingly fast
[HTC Inspire 4G] playerjunglejosh:
You didn't search well enough as I answered a similar question yesterday, so I just copied and pasted it here.

If I helped hit the thanks button.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ai6908:
I am on st talk, and i have used wifi tether without any issues on ICS ROMs. Check your APN settings to make sure they are still valid. If not, try factory reset, and start over.
[HTC Inspire 4G] PickledJaW:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

Try that link. You can try the beta or experimental ones if you like, but I had problems getting them to work. The version 2_0_7 works fine for me. If you aren't running a different rom and are just running the rooted version of the stock phone, the app that is already on the phone doesn't allow you to tether. It still forces you to go through AT&T. If you get away from the stock rooted rom, most of them have the ability to wifi tether built in. Or, you can download that program from the link above. It worked for me

Edit: Someone had a problem getting that link to work. Go to Google and search for android-wifi-tether, it should be the first like that comes up.

Go to the downloads tab at top of the page.
[HTC Inspire 4G] The Mighty Thor:
Go Custom

Tethering and hotspotting have not worked for me on ST without flashing a custom rom. All of the stock roms have blocked it as you have described. Don't have to be sense free though, just custom.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wahsauce:
Hey guys,

So I have a freshly rooted Arc S LT18i running ics 4.1.b.0.431

My question is, what kernel is recommended for this setup?

I'm pretty happy with the arc s as it is, I want to get rid of all the bloatware and I might try underclocking/overclocking, and possibly chuck a rom on it later on, so I'm looking for a kernel that will give me overclocking capability with keeping the current setup...

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
Try DoomKernel.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpith.fbi:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] AndyMan386:
I have noticed since I had the S III that when I get a Facebook notification, but view the message on the computer, it doen't remove the notification on the S III, but yet the same instance if it was an email alert, if I read it on the computer, it goes away on the phone, since it has been read. Any ways to fix this, or is it just the way the FB app is?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TLS2000:
It's worked that way on both my Skyrocket and the S3, so I assume it's normal.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Mr Dasher:
I would like to buy a gel / silicone case for my pre ordered Infinity. I was wondering if i could buy one that is designed for the Prime?

I think the size would be the same because of the keyboard dock. I am more concerned with the buttons and jacks.

Thank you
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
Its the same size, but not the same layout. The headphone jack, HDMI and SD card slot have been shifted down, and the volume rocker is on the top. Prime cases wont work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mr Dasher:
Thanks - you saved me alot of trouble.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cool_scorpion:
Any advice on where I could find a multiangle case that would fit ? I am not keen on sleeves. I did look up the accessory forum, but nothing specific there. Thanks in advance

So the Google Voice search feature works very well on Evervolv. However, when it pulls up web pages the pages are messed up. It would be great if we could set Chrome as the default browser since Chrome works great on JB
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmsrefugee:
I just disabled the stock browser under manage apps.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevman8396:
Tried that. The problem is, if you search for something that does not have one of the cards for it, it brings up the Google page and it is all messed up

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jcomana:
During the weekend, and I tried to order the space in my SD card erase some duplicate files, and create folders inside PICTURES folder in the Sd. I created sub folder named Photos which obviously included all the pictures storage and from camera. I opened two screen in myWin7 pc to easily move the files. Surprised for me the sub folder PHOTOS destapar without any notice. For a while I think could be move to another folder but I revised one by one and nothing happen. I revised Recicle Folder and it's empty.

Are someone know about any app which open in invisible folder/files to rescue the info.

Sorry if this one could be OFF TOPIC
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jemack:
Can you view the missing folder on your phone's file explorer?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jcomana:
No way. I checked both. PC and phone. It's curious. I know it's exist some apps to rescue recicled/erase files on PC. I don't remember the name to test both phone and pc.

Thanks for your help guy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jemack:
Undelete for root users and hexamob recovery, both in play store, may be what you're looking for on your phone. As far as your pc I can't help you there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jcomana:
Thanks a lot dude. I found an old recovery and save most of them photos. I will revise in my nandroid if this info is include and extract with an app which bought in the GP.

Thanks again.
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
This tool is based on the original D4 Utility with additions and rewrites by me. Doing any of this is at your own risk.

08/14 Tool Version now 2.0 !!! THE JUMP TOOL IS DEAD!!! No reason for this now that we have ICS Fastboot files.

08/31 Tool Version now 2.1 Here's what's new

10/25 Tool Version 2.2 corrected minor script error and updated to safestrap 3.05

1. Set of instruction included within the tool. Once you open the tool select menu 1 to display them. This is a .txt file so you must have some reader (I use notepad++).

2. Safestrap 3.05 (Thanks Hashcode)

3. Latest Superuser (3.1.3) and binary (3.1.1)

4. Restore to 6.16.217 ICS or upgrade a GB phone to 6.16.217 ICS with option to save or erase data

5. Unroot script - This will remove superuser, the su binary and busybox. However if you boot into recovery it will still indicate root or at least past root (qe display in recovery). Even a fastboot with data wipe will not reset this.

Where to download: http://d-h.st/users/jsnweitzel

Add the ICS fastboot file to the lite tool to run menu 11 or 12. Get it here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_maserati/list.php Then unzip it and add the files to the "files" folder of the tool.

If you have trouble connecting your phone be sure you have the latest drivers installed from moto:

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_detail/a_id/78460/p/30,6720,8302

Use this tool at your own risk.
[Motorola Droid 4] Sjaakbanaan:
Can't wait to try this to go from .213 to .215! Will let you know my results. Right now, there are too many bugs in .213 for me to use it on a daily basis, hope .215 is better!

Edit: nevermind, d-h.st is back up again!

Edit 2: update went very smoothly, thanks!

Edit 3: fixed my issues with a data wipe - almost got bricked, but your tool saved me again! Now I'm back in action with .215 and having the best phone experience ever. If I could hit 'thanks' multiple times, I would!
[Motorola Droid 4] mrAdvo:
Works just fine! Thank you very much!
[Motorola Droid 4] gdog1977:
Works great!!! Thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] panamakevin:
I just pushed this to my phone and now it is running soo much better (mostly due to the new build of the ICS leak) I was missing a home button and the lock screen, but so far not seeing too many bugs and I have root again. Brilliant! Cheers!
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
Just giving post a bump, updated tool.
[Motorola Droid 4] Dave Lister:
FYI, there is no link to the .217 OTA zip in the OP.
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
Thanks for the heads up. Fixed the link.
[Motorola Droid 4] bdbraaten:
So let's see I'm reading this correctly.

I installed the 217 leak file today (got tired of waiting for the ota soak test) and lost root.

To get it back I just need the lite version linked above, is that correct?
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
Yes only menu 9 will not work, everything else should be good.
[Motorola Droid 4] bdbraaten:
Any thoughts on what's going on, I tried it and ran option 8 to root but my root apps aren't working. Here's what the screen says:

So it looks like it worked I don't see superuser in my app drawer and when I try an app that can use root like estrongs file explorer it says "feature not available"

Any ideas? I've tried it multiple times and with two different computers (one on vista the other xp pro) and same result.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
It look like the install of busybox and superuser were skipped (failed is probably more accurate) for some reason. Did you have the phone set to "MTP" or "PTP" mode. You don't want to run it in mass storage.
[Motorola Droid 4] bdbraaten:
I don't remember which one it was set as. Does it make a difference on mtp or ptp mode for which one works better?
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
I have only seen an issue with the mass storage mode. Check in the tool files folder and be sure that a copy of Superuser.apk is there. If it still doesn't work I can't see why. As a last resort you could try installing it from the market.
[Motorola Droid 4] bdbraaten:
Thanks for the help, the superuser is there in the files folder.

I'm debating if I should try it from the market or just try fastbooting the phone and see what happens.

I only want to root to get rid of the bloat, not sure if I'll install custom roms or not yet on this one.
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
You can "disable" some apps without root. Looking under settings and apps. Select one and hit disable. For some you will have to uninstall updates first.
[Motorola Droid 4] bdbraaten:
I'll look into that.

I'm going to try downloading the full tool and try that, I was just using the lite version. It shouldn't make a difference but I figure it doesn't hurt to try it. If that fails I'll try to decide what my next step will be.

I tried to install superuser from the market but it wouldn't let me.
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
just get the one on the market and update the binary and it should work fine.. tib wiil fix the perms when you run it the first time. tried it b4 and it works fine
[Motorola Droid 4] bdbraaten:
Are you talking about the superuser app from the market? I tried to get it and it wouldn't let me install it, claims it's already installed but it doesn't show up in my app drawer.

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------

I GOT IT!!!!!!!!

I had an idea based on the comment about getting from the market so I tried the idea and it worked.

I copied the superuser apk file over to my sd card, I installed it from there and said to go ahead and replace the file that was there. I opened it directly after the install and updated the binarys (said it was current but did it anyway) now my root apps ask for and get super user permission.

So it looks like I'm up and running.

Thanks,

Brent.
[Motorola Droid 4] local444:
The only thing I have enabled on this phone is root, no fastboot or anything. Which steps should I follow??
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
Uhhh Steps 1, 2 and 6...download the 217 file, open and copy update zip, copy to sd card, flash in stock recovery.
[Motorola Droid 4] local444:
Thanks, do you mind if I pm you while i'm doing this if I run in to any issues? And this 217 is the exact same that's going to be on the OTA, correct? I just dont want to flash to anything with bugs.
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
Yes it's the same as the OTA and if your just rooted should install fine. You can keep root by using voodoo rootkeeper, it's in the market for free.
[Motorola Droid 4] local444:
Thanks! I just downloaded that. One last thing, do i do step 6 while it's plugged into the comp. or not? I realize it may not make a difference. I've done Steps 1-2 and my phone is currently on USB debugging as a USB Mass storage on the pc.
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
Just be sure you open the zip file and copy the one named Blur_Version.6.13.219.XT894.Verizon.en.US that is 362MB to your sd card. Then you can unplug and reboot into recovery. You can download quickboot from the market that will reboot, boot recovery, bootloader, etc for you easy if you want or just do it the manual way.
[Motorola Droid 4] local444:
So I had a small failure in this. The phone isn't bricked and I'm actually typing on it right now. But I wasn't able to flash. I booted into recovery, saw an android with a yellow notification triangle (does it make a difference if the triangle is red or yellow? Haha) and pressed both volume buttons. I hit apply update from zip and it gave me the list of files to choose from on my ext. SD card.

Here's where the problem is. I can't scroll down the list. I can maneuver the buttons fine but once I get to the end of the list that's on the screen, it won't let me scroll further down. Is there a different button I'm supposed to press?
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
The recovery image is a little different between ICS and GB, but accessed the same. Should have been near the top of the list in stock recovery, unless you renamed it. You might have to delete a couple of your folders if you have a bunch on it.
[Motorola Droid 4] local444:
So I'm not supposed to be able to scroll down? Should it work if I place the file in a folder that is up there
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
It can't be in a folder has to be on the root of the card.
[Motorola Droid 4] local444:
Understood. The way its listed on my phone is alphabetically folders first , then alphabetically files. Are you sure I shouldn't be able to scroll down? Thanks again
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
Oh yes you can scroll down, but only to what shows on the screen. If you copy the Blur....file to your sd card it should be first or close to first. Then just scroll down and select it using the power button.
[Motorola Droid 4] skaterA223:
i cant apply the update on stock recovery. gives me a failure n then aborts the update. im on stcok gb rom rooted
[Motorola Droid 4] Russ36363:
Quick, Probably Dumb Question, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

In Step 1, it sounds like you say we need to copy the entire downloaded file to the extSD, but in Step 2 it says only the Blur file. Which is it? Both? Or just the Blur gotten once we extract it from the download?
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
All you need on your external sd card is the blur file extracted from the downloaded .zip.
[Motorola Droid 4] tobby88:
Hi

In a german board someone is getting this when trying to root. The phone is new and has ICS .217 installed (via RSD-Lite). What is the problem there?
[Motorola Droid 4] zn706:
thanks for the tools. I was running GB w/ root and could not get the phone to take a update, Used the tool to reflash the phone to stock GB and then the update took no problem. Now I'm trying to get the ICS tool but I have one question. Has anyone else hosted this file? My download speeds from the current source move slower than old people screw. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
Just download the lite version if you are on 6.16.217 ICS you don't need the full.
[Motorola Droid 4] jkieffer46:
can't root

just got a replacement d4 and can't root the thing. used this and a few other tools and the phone won't be recognized by whatever mean's i'm using. does anybody have a fix for this?
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
Be sure your in mtp mode, having debugging on and have install unknown sources checked. If the script hangs up without any errors then you probably need to update your drivers.
[Motorola Droid 4] gkrules:
I get an error 7 on the last step, and the installation gets aborted.

assert failed: apply_patch_check

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

(Status 7)

Then if I try it again, I get:

assert failed: mount("ext3","MTD","system","/system")

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

(Status 7)

Edit: I ended up just using the Fastboot file and RSD Lite.
[Motorola Droid 4] Gibson99:
both links to the LITE version i the OP seem to be dead. downloaded full version and am about to try (just root - i'm not ready to try new roms yet), since the ics404root batch doesn't seem to be working for me ever since i did a factory reset.
[Motorola Droid 4] mystik1:
Sorry for what I am sure is a stupid question. I am following your instructions, but seem to be stuck on "< waiting for device >". It says be sure your phone is in Fastboot mode. I am not 100% clear on that. I have USB Debugging enabled, I have USB set to MTP. I have install from unknown sources enabled. I believe I have followed all instructions. Please advise. Thank you.
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
Use the tool to boot into fastboot or power down, then hold both volume buttons and press n release the power button and select ap fastboot.

Fyi tool 2.1 coming soon with complete ics fastboot option.
[Motorola Droid 4] mystik1:
EDIT: Thanks much for the assist. Finally got everything working! Whaahooo. :)
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
Bump,

Tool version now 2.1 with ICS Fastboot files-option and a few updates.
[Motorola Droid 4] tliebeck:
Thanks!

The first two links fom Google Drive in the updated post are broken, they contain ellipsis (...). I'm just downloading the system image and the Lite tool attached to the post.
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
Opps will fix those in a few!

OK Fixed those bad links!
[Motorola Droid 4] therussman2002:
I've tried searching around but... I'm on the 215 leak looking to go to 217. Using the 2.1 tool, do I just download the full version with fastboot files and use option 11 or 12 on the menu?
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
Yes or you can use the fastboot file with RSD Lite program. Both are safer than the old way of flashing part of GB then the ICS stuff.

[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:

[Motorola Droid 4] intellitek:
Anybody have trouble getting your XT894 recognized on Windows 7? I installed the drivers and Motocast, no luck after installing each. Windows keeps identifying it as "Unknown Device." It is switched into MTP mode, debugging is enabled, and unknown sources install is also enabled (although the latter two shouldn't affect device recognition). I'm currently running Windows Update to see if there's something I'm missing system-wise, since it's a fairly early copy of Windows 7 (missing 80+ updates), but I doubt that'll solve anything..

What precisely am I doing wrong here?
[Motorola Droid 4] Die Bruine:
Sadly enough stock drivers won't work. You will have to install the Motorola drivers which you can find on their website. Working mobile here, otherwise I would have posted a link.

No need for software, just the drivers will suffice.
[Motorola Droid 4] intellitek:
I installed drivers and motocast from these links:

http://www.motorola.com/Support/XZ-...tware-and-Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers

http://www.mymotocast.com/download

The device still isn't being recognized. I also did a full Windows Update on the system.

It's running from a virtual box VM, with a USB filter auto-tunneling it on boot.

Did I not install the correct drivers?
[Motorola Droid 4] The Kraken!:
Are you using a motorola usb cord? Mine is not recognized unless I use the motorola cord. I have one from lg as well and it only sometimes results in windows recognizing that there is a device present and never knows what it is.
[Motorola Droid 4] Die Bruine:
I just downloaded these drivers on a freshly installed W7 Ultimate laptop 64-bits.

Didn't work before I downloaded the drivers, worked after. So these are 100% the correct drivers. Still doesn't work? I'm with The Kraken!
