As far as I know you cannot start Explorer anymore as administrator, since Windows 7 (maybe even Vista, but I never used it).

In Windows XP when you started a command prompt as admin and then 'explorer.exe /separate' then the explorer was really started as admin, this is no longer working... gotta be new security that Microsoft is using since Vista/7

As dazza9075 said, do the same without being an admin on your machine and then we'll start to use the words 'LePorte hack' ;)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mustang0987:
I have a Nexus 7 and I want to stream some of the videos I have purchased through the Play Store to my TV using dlna. The problem I have is that when I "pin" my content so it stays on my device the movies do not show up in the video folder so dlna apps can play them. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steddora:
Alright, here's my issue..

I'm really wanting to go to either Blu Kuban or Phantom's Blazer rom. Both of them look really amazing and they seem like they'd fit my style.

Now before anyone says, "Go read this, and that". I have read this and that over and over again.

I know the eMMC bug is out there and I don't want to end up with a bricked device from a stupid error. I know that I have to start by getting CWM installed; which is where I'm stuck. The rest sounds almost as easy as booting into recovery and flashing through CWM. But getting to CWM; that's the confusing part.

First, I want to rid myself of the chance of an eMMC brick as I've read there are patched kernels out there with CWM that nip that bug in the bud. But here's my issue. I've read so many posts and watched so many video's and still haven't came up with a positively right answer here.

I'm running sfhub's Odin oneclick for FF18 and it's rooted as of now. Other than that, it's stock basically.

Do I need to odin oneclick back to el29 to get to the blu kuban ff18 build? And if so, how do I go about installing CWM so I can? I've read GB kernels won't boot ICS and vice versa. So if I went to EL29, I'd have to flash to a ICS kernel with CWM? Haven't found out much about that honestly as every post that I've found via that pretty little search box is just ridden with warnings about the eMMC bug.

This is the closest thing I've came to find about installing CWM on FF18, but the thread (near the end pages) are ridden with people having issues getting that to run properly?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728

I'm not a novice when it comes to electronics and hardware; just extra precaution is my goal. No brick = good LOL

So what's the best way for a Rooted FF18 install to go to CWM and be able to flash the ICS version of Blu Kuban or Blazer?

Thanks ahead of time as it's annoyed me for over a week now trying to find the right solution.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
Just odin or if you have mobile Odin the touch wiz version here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28474639 and you should be good to go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vash403:
From ff18 you can just flash agat recovery and flash from that recovery. Recoveries that have been deemed safe won't brick your device. Or you can Odin the el26 kernel with cwm and boot into that recovery and flash from there. The last one was the standard method for flashing when safe recoveries weren't around. You can do this if you want to be extra careful. I got into the habit of flashing the el26 kernel before flashing any ICS ROM because I did it so much that it became "muscle memory".

Edit: in order to minimize the chance for error keep in mind flashing an el26 kernel from an ICS ROM will not allow your phone to boot. However you can still boot in cwm so after Odin finishes flashing the kernel be ready to hold the power button and the volume up key. If you miss your chance, no biggy just battery pull and try again. Try searching for a direct boot cwm kernel v3 I think. It does what the name implies.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steddora:
Alright, I used the autoroot package from sfhub here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728

and chose option D for the ICS kernels and then chose the next option E which installed agat-cwm-src (the one which I've seen is "safe") lol Currently watching my phone do a nandroid backup!

Just to make sure though, it shows AGAT_Recovery tREC_v0.2.1 Does that sound right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] madwakisbak:
Just to clarify, i flashed a rooted stock ICE FF18 rom to my phone recently with AGAT recovery v0.2.1, will i be able to flash Blazer rom with this recovery? Sorry if its a basic question im still trying to learn to ropes as well

thanks for all your input and help, reason why i love this site :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
Yes you will be able to safely flash blazer rom with that kernel/recovery. Also when you flash that rom. Flash the kernel right after. To keep the safe recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vash403:
On a side note, don't use any super wipe zips such as caulkulins format all from an ICS recovery it ignores any safeties that a recovery might have and you might brick. Just use the wipe options from the recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steddora:
Ok i'm officially on blu kuban and i'm enjoying it fully. Love the dark theme and all the nooks and crannies. Question though.. Since I flashed using agats, do I need to rehash a safe kernel?

And on a side note, if I want to go back to stock I can just use an Odin one click correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
If you are on the blu kuban you can grab any kernel you want I'd recommend the kuban kernel in the rom updater.. But agats safe kernel is in the rom updater as well... And if you grab the kuban kernel in the rom updater it is safe as well since it is based off agats kernel just with more tweaks and what not

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steddora:
Which one has the agats safe, and can I install it with the ROM updater?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
The ones shown in the screen shot are all safe(which you can install from the rom updater )

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steddora:
So if I flashed blu kuban, am I still on the kernel I started with or am I now on the blu kuban version since I flashed from agats recovery?

Sent by telekinesis!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
Doesn't matter what you started or flashed from.. When you flash the blu kuban, the kernel is installed by default "out the box".. Which is the first one shown in the screen shot

Also when I went to Rom updater after flashing ... I t did nothing but screen stayed blank and went to 1x
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steddora:
I've found all of that in the ROM updater. I suggest reading into the ROM updater problem on the blu kuban post. I've not had any of those problems myself so i'm not sure. I love this ROM so far, and don't plan to change any time soon!

[Asus Transformer TF700] vbman213:
Greetings,

I had a TF201 during the early weeks of January and was completely turned off by the various issues that were plaguing this device: GPS, WIFI, BT, I/O, etc. I was also extremely uncomfortable by the seemingly lack of supply of the TF201 (Even 6+ months after release it was incredibly difficult to find!) Anyways, I was determined to wait until the TF700. Reports were stating that GPS, WIFI, and BT issues were effectively resolved (thanks to improved antenna design. But I'm still curious as to the current state of the I/O issues. I know that an update dropped just yesterday that seems to greatly improve I/O. But is this I/O issue caused by software or hardware? What is the general consensus on the matter? Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Might be too early to tell, but so far many of us have seen a significant improvement in overall performance, which means no more hiccups while multitasking. Of course you will get some lags while running apps while moving data in the background, but at least now you're able to use the device when doing so. JB will probably make things even better, but I really can't complain at the moment. Highly recommended, in my opinion it's just a great device, even if they used eMMC by Hynix instead of Kingston for the 64GB version.

And ASUS Support seems to have taken a considerable speedup lately, just like our devices.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
As many have noticed since updating to .26, I/O performance has increased considerably. I have been pleasantly surprised., and at the same time, I'm a bit puzzled why the same effort has not been undertaken earlier for the TF201 -- although some hiccups remain, I haven't had a clear hang since, so they nailed it the first time to a very good extent. You cannot change the hardware, at least not easily, so we'll have to be content with not having real SSD performance (which, of course, is an utter shame for this flagship device). It's very good now, though, and the TF700 shows quite a bit more of its powerful breed now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] androidxen:
I am curious to hear a comparison of the current updated io performance of the 700 compared to the io performance of a rooted and tweaked 201... anyone have any input? The potential improvements on the 700 (let alone possibility of roms now that we have unlocked bootloader) is tempting me to upgrade from the 201 to the 700.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I do not believe there are hard data -- only user's feel, or impressions, if you like. It is considerably smoother now, though, and as I said elsewhere, the speed with which they have brought us an update that actually matters for a change makes me wonder a bit why they didn;t give the Prime the same treatment. The sales seemed to deserve that, and the issues were multiple (maybe the latter reason is the one why you guys were more or less 'beta-testing' for the TF700 as one of your fellow TF201 owner's said ? ;) )
[Asus Transformer TF700] androidxen:
Thanks for the reply, will probably get the 700 at some point with hopes for custom roms!

I've definitely enjoyed using the Prime (only have io issues with large capacity flash drives, 64gb, and some flickering in horizontal orientation), but the apparent wifi improvements and better resolution (I use the tablet as a laptop replacement but also on stage as a musician) would be great!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xMopx:
Hi all,

So I'm running the Paranoid Android JB rom from the android development section. All is well, aside from tethering. The tethering built in to the rom works fine but _only_ when I have the wifi in non-secure mode (no wifi password).

Also, android-wifi-tether doesn't work at all (even with the different profile changes as suggested elsewhere).

I suppose insecure wifi is usable for now, but has anyone had any luck with the combination above? Thanks.

[Galaxy S III General] Derek0228:
A friend of mine just bought a GSIII (BNIB) because her Note's screen broke. She's been using it but doesn't get used to the screen, says that after the Note everything seems small. Since I have a Note, she offered to trade. I am seriously considering it, first and mostly because of how developer unfriendly the Note is. Suuree we have great ROMS and kernels, but that nasty EMMC bug is just nasty. Second reason is the awesome camera on the GS3. Third reason is the quad Exynos. Fourth reason, Jellybean<3 (i know we have CM10, but things would be much better with an official JB build around). But, are those things enough to sway me from the Note's gorgeous, humongous display, and the not-so-gimmicky-as-everyone-thinks S-Pen? What do you think? Any old Note users around here who could share their experience?

[Galaxy S III General] tbong777:
Trade it...you will appreciated the Note 2 after using the S3 awhile and have a more current phone to sell to get the Note II. You WILL miss the larger screen. I took a look at the S3 a few days ago and am glad I did not jump at it. But I would trade my Note for one for the better value sale in the Fall. Notes will be selling for far less than an S3 especially because of the emmc_erase bug, (Although buyers on Ebay may not be aware of it.,)
[Galaxy S III General] p33k:
Yes trade. If not for anything other than it will be worth more if you want to sell and get the Note 2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tha_ape:
I've had my Galaxy S3 for about 2 weeks and rooted it using a link mrRobinson provided, it has been working great until today. I hooked it up to my PC as I had done many times before and all it does is charge the phone. I no longer get the USB icon in the top left and I no longer see the phone as attached to the PC. I also noticed it no longer recognizes my 32GB SD card (EDIT: I tried an old 2GB card and it worked fine). Not sure how this happened, what I can say is that I installed a Genesis emulator and was in the process of copying over all of the genesis games to the SD card (1GB or so of Data and 1000 files or so). I didnt have time to wait for it to finish so I cancelled it and possibly disconnected the phone before it was done. I dont think I did, but its all I can think of and its the last time I remember it working.

The good news is the phone works, it makes calls, I can use internal drive for pics/vids/downloads etc... but the SD card wont work, nor will the USB connection.

I am able to get the phone into Odin mode, however its useless because the PC doesnt see the phone. It only charges it.

Although I used mrRobinsons root, it was the second one I did unfortunately so my counter says:

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

I think that 1st one killed my warranty though :\

I reinstalled the phone drivers on the PC and restarted both the PC and the phone. I've tried different cables as well. It will not connect!! Anyone know the issue? Right now, the only way for me to xfer files back and forth is via email (I cant get Kies Air to work either). Please help.

I also made a backup of titanium and I have all the backup on the computer just have not the foggiest how to recover the IMEI if he backed it at all

Help anyone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xsenman:
Try downgrade to oldest Froyo or eclair ROM with bootloader

use ODIN

Select PIT (usually 512)

Select BOOTLOADER (BOOT)

Select PDA (CODE)

Select PHONE (MODEM)

Select CSC (CSC)

If "Re-Partition" is not checked under "Option", check it.

Fire it up, after that IF NO IMEI, you can just restore with Nitrility

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xd4d3v:
Hi Guys.

yesterday I helped a friend upgrade her galaxy nexus to JB, and I asked her whether she had anything important on her phone she said no.

Turns out I wiped the phone, and when i ask her to sign to her google account to bring her contacts she doesnt know her gmail!

We try to use google account recovery using her email addresses but turns out none of them were used when the new account was setup.

I did take an application backup with halaxy nexus toolkit, but it seems it's just that. apps with no google account info.

Anyone has any idea that might help me? I'd really appreaciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
Hire a nice hacker to hack the password, then change it. Fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xd4d3v:
yeah I did, but they might take a while.

When I set her up, we didnt put any security questions or anything, so it'll be very difficult to recover through google.

I'm thinking whether somehow I can have a look at the apks or the .bak file we took, and find the username at least , in this way at least

I can tell google where to look
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LNJ:
Normally you would have had to use a secondary email address when signing up for Gmail for password reset reasons. Is there an option for that when trying to reset password?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xd4d3v:
We had a try at the password recovery using an email address that we think it's correct (usual combination of name/birth year etc)

Once you go into the gmail password recovery page It shows you part of the email address (the domain is ok but the rest is blacked out)

I recognize the domain name being something I usually use as a fake email when I'm trying something quickly. so I'm pretty sure we got her email address right now.

Unfortunately due to the domain being fake I can't recover her password using that email address.

I remember writing her newly created email and password in a piece of paper and saying. once you get home change the password and update all your details to the correct. ( well that didn't happen :-/ )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andro X:
If she's ever signed in through her PC and saved her passwords through her browser then you could recover it from the saved passwords list.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nomad4ever:
I hope for your own sake, that she didn't just store her contacts locally. I saw that many times, especially women usually don't bother and keep hacking their numbers in just like that, without thinking about setting up sync or contact cloud beforehand. Good luck! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Psycho-:
Any chance that she has all her contacts stored on her SIM card?

If so, just create a new Google account and restore her apps...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xd4d3v:
Actually, when she got the new phone, I think the way I copied all the contacts from her older phone was into the SIM, put the old SIM into the new phone and imported them.. (my memory is bad, but that kinda makes sense for coming from a dumbphone to an android)

I just asked her and she might still have the old phone and the old SIM. so maybe there is a chance there, gotta wait for her to go home and try to find it..

This will definitely teach me a lesson.

take a freaking nandroid, whatever your friends say!

PS: I reckon I'm stressing more about this than she is.. if it happened to me i'd be a royal pain in the bum.
