Similar problem on Motorola Xoom

i am having the same problem withh my Xoom. i successfully rooted it a few days ago, and today i tried to change the fonts and got stuck in a boot loop. i had CWM 5.8.3.1, but now for some reason when i boot my tablet into recovery mode, its running CWM version 4.x.x, and i guess in older versions theres problems with the external sd card mounting and i cant get to my boot.img

i cant get into my external sd card to reinstall Cyanogen, and it wont factory reset either. it goes through the process, but when i reboot it, it just goes straight back to the boot loop.

i also tried flashing the recovery in fastboot but all that happens when i type ANYTHING in my command prompt for fastboot is a message saying "waiting for device

ive tried factory wipe/reset, tried deleteing the cache, and pretty much everything else in CWM but still nothing..

i hope someone can help... xO

Because of T-mobile's enternal smartness, the phone they sent me when i sent in my own phone, was the new piece of junk LG Mytouch, which doesnt even have a XDA fourm page. but that means i cant develop for this phone any longer.

Edit: I plan on talking with Tmobile to see if a I can get a better phone or b I can some how get another glacier

I plan on pulling out the I have been with you for 16 years and I will leave card

[Nexus 7 General] Printerscape:
After watching several videos of it battling the Siri of iOS while I was awaiting my tablet, I was hyped about using this feature.

Now that I have had my tablet for almost almost a week now, it was overhyped and the accuracy was overblown in those videos on YouTube.

I know it's not my accent, since it gets my questions correctly, it just doesn't answer 'em.

I tried simple stuff too, like requesting for the current score of USA vs Korea in volleyball (when the game was going on), requesting for specific train times, requesting to see my calendar, asking it to see if I was busy on a certain day and time, and it just Google'd these questions, not telling me the answers (especially the last one; it Google'd "Am I busy at 4pm on this coming Monday?" instead of showing my calendar).

Hell even the simplest things like "show me my calendar" has it Googling that, and not actually showing me my calendar.

I've only ever successfully gotten it to tell me the weather, the time, set alarm, and tell me when the Olympics 2012 ends.

If Google Voice Search (or w/e they call it) is this bad, I wonder how bad Siri is, seeing how in those videos, Google beat Siri all the time.
[Nexus 7 General] krelvinaz:
Had a guy at work playing around with Siri, not very impressing, certainly nothing like the staged commercials. Technology is not there yet. I think that Dragon has a better voice recognition ability, (part of Swype Beta), but I have not played with their "Dragon Go" yet on my tablet. Didn't care for it much on my phone.
[Nexus 7 General] rman726:
Siri answers a lot more of those types of questions, although it is definitely slower as the videos point out. Overall though, I rarely ask those questions anyways. I generally only ask about sports scores and weather or conversions, and a few more things.
[Nexus 7 General] burntcustard:
I think they are both good at different things. Most of the YouTube videos I've seen seem to show of Google Nows speed a bit much. Hopefully what Google Now lacks.. now, it will make up for in later updates, assuming they are not harassed by Apple too much more.

I'd also like to mention that Google Now is not in any way a clone or copy of Siri. Voice recognition and human-like feedback have been strived towards since even before the USS-Enterprises computer did it in early Star-Trek :P Apple, or anyone recently claiming it was 'their idea' should be shot in the foot.
[Nexus 7 General] ynnek63:
Didn't Google have to 'dumb' down their voice app because of the lawsuit Apple had against the Galaxy Nexus?

[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
In the foot? I can think of another, less elegant location.
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
Is does work alot better than siri in alot of ways, then again this stuff was available since froyo. I believe Google said all those features are coming back
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
They removed local search (i.e., showing apps and contacts, etc., along with off-device search) from ALL on-device search, because it was the integrated search functionality specifically that was the patent that the judge found most likely to be upheld. Not related directly to voice.
[Nexus 7 General] skyyrocket:
But atleast Google now is better then S voice lol, I removed it from my G note.... For some reason it never worked for me : /
[Nexus 7 General] ad78:
I'm getting "network error. Please try again" on my S3
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
I think it's pretty good, it's very accurate for me even in noisy environments.
[Nexus 7 General] guthrien:
It's just not very complex in it's abilities, which I agree with a member above is due to it being young technology rather than overrated per say.

As it's part of my phone and I use it more, I still find Siri far more frustrating and inaccurate. Oddly a series of jailbreaks make it far more capable and I'm wondering if we'll ever see similar hacking on Android.

Somewhat related, I'm just glad Google allows for offline dictation as there's nothing more annoying than a voice assistant telling you it's unavailable because you're in bad service area.

[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
Well, if not for the insanity that is Apple, it would have much more capabilities, but I find it pretty easy to use, accurate, and despite local search, pretty good.
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
Lolz, why people always believe that Apple make new things every time and now calling this Google now a siri clone.

Having used both siri and Google now, I think both are different and have different strength points and Google now doing more work than siri. Siri is more vocal though.

People think S voice is bad but I have found it more useful than siri and it can do device functions as well which siri can't.
[Nexus 7 General] Shaquiel Harris:
Google now isn't a siri clone and wasn't created to be one. Although I will admit that Google now works a lot better on my galaxy nexus, Google Now is pretty amazing. I love when I'm out somewhere that it tells me how much traffic I will have on my way home and will give me better directions.
[Nexus 7 General] wmoore:
As somebody already said, the voice recognition is accurate but it just doesn't give you 'local' results. I tried to get it to display a book I have in Play Books or music in Play Music but it wouldn't open those apps. I use SpeakToIt Assistant, which seems to be much better at playing your music, reading calendar, sending SMS's (on my Sensation), etc.
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
I think it runs better actually... Tried it out next to an iPhone 4s and asked them both the questions at the same time and my Gnex blew it out of the water
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
Yes, I agree
[Nexus 7 General] mike infinity:
The OP complains mostly about calendar integration...which I agree ought to be included. It will, however, schedule reminders using alarms. I hope this isn't yet another patent issue....especially since voice commands have been in the works for years on multiple platforms. Heck, back in the 80s I had my Amiga executing various commands by voice...even telling me the time using Majel Roddenberry's voice after a 'computer. Time please' command. I programmed a bunch of voice commands using AREXX.

I find the voice feature very useful. On my galaxy nexus I asked it to call home depot and it called the nearest store and offered navigation and eta. It really makes for the ultimate hands free navigaion/calling system. It responds very quickly as well.

I would like it to SAY more. And I would pay good money if it sounded like Majel Roddenberry.
[Nexus 7 General] tremblingwater:
I know that for people in the UK you have to tick the box for it to search from Google.com opposed to co.uk, otherwise it wont bring up pictures and certain cards (as answers to questions).

Also, change the language to english (US) to get the cute female voice opposed to our British male, ha.

But overall, nothing like the Youtube video where the guy asks 74 odd questions on Google Now. When i try, it just searches the same question...
[Nexus 7 General] Printerscape:
Definitely, and the fact that it doesn't really handle other apps at all (e.g. "play me <song / movie / etc>" doesn't do anything).

lol yup. Finally someone sees what I'm talking about.
[Nexus 7 General] gbroon:
Not used siri but the voice recogntion in jellybean handles my scottish accent a lot better than ics ever did.

For example in ics a search for "red hot chilli peppers" was interpreted as "ready carburetor" while in jb it brought up the correct search term offering to play music etc.

I still consider it a gimmick ill rarely use but it does work better than i expected.
[Nexus 7 General] fodawim:
I disagree, just said "play music by random artist"and It asked which app spotify, or google music. Tried to use spotify and immediately open the app to search and started playing music by the artist.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Voice recognition is head and shoulders above anything I have used before.

Have not had a miss yet on my searches.

I tell my Prius to "Go Home" and it shows me local fast food places.
[Nexus 7 General] bso44:
I can use Google Now to Play Music.
[Nexus 7 General] Printerscape:
Wha? Why doesn't mine work? :/

As for voice recognition, I never said it was bad; it's great. Just what Google does with it = sucks, since it usually just Googles it.
[Nexus 7 General] bso44:
Try saying "Listen to..." instead of "Play...".
[Nexus 7 General] sRDennyCrane:
As said, it's still early in the technology cycle. But, it's worked well more than it hasn't. At least for me. And after using Siri for a bit, I can say Google is far superior. Siri is full of time-buying phrases like "Let me check my sources on that". It's just clunky. And, it's been established that trying the searches used in the Apple commercials do not give those results. They'll both get better over time.

"SIRI, CALL ME AN AMBULANCE!"

From now on, I will refer to you as "An Ambulance". OK?
[Nexus 7 General] Nexcellent:
Works great with Google Music for me on my Gnex and N7. The voice recognition is great too, i use it while driving often and jelly bean now has offline voice recognition, which is awesome.
[Nexus 7 General] muzzy996:
What is clear is that the lack of unified search will have a tremendous impact on the usefulness of voice search on mobile devices. Apple is fighting tooth and nail to protect it with what appears to be no interest in licensing it for fear of others being able to apply it in ways much more effectively than they can at the moment. That's just good business practice though so they can't be faulted for that. With its own search engine, huge databases and strong head start in cloud computing Google would be able to do more with unified search but ...

I wouldn't be surprised if through the use of indexing and cloud services they figure out a way to get around the patent issues.

One thing is certain, the year ahead will be an exciting one for mobile devices.
[Nexus 7 General] PROlific666:
Google now does have unified search. The x.x.1 update did not remove unified search. It was removed by Samsung on the S3 but they are bringing it back now.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unimaginativeuk:
Tried to reply to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766475 but as this is my first post, I'm not able to post in development forums :noob: :o

I've just rooted by Nexus 7 and it took a few hours to do so; for the vast majority of that time I was stuck at the point where I had the drivers installed, tablet was connected to the machine but 'adb devices' showed no devices. Occasionally I would see one line with the serial number of my tablet followed by 'offline'. Running adb devices again would show that the device had disappeared.

I tried various drivers including the ones supplied with the root toolkit, the android sdk, pdanet and the Universal Naked Driver and although all would install and appear correctly in the device manager, my tablet just would not show up in adb devices list. :crying:

Finally, I removed all the drivers by repeating a process of connecting the tablet in usb debugging mode, finding the entry in device manager and uninstalling the device with the checkbox in the dialog ticked to uninstall the drivers, and then disconnecting and reconnecting the tablet (still in usb debugging mode) until it shows up under Other with a name of 'Nexus 7' with an exclamation mark against it.

Next step, I selected to update the drivers and selected the drivers from the android sdk in c:\program file (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb-driver which changed the device to appear as 'Samsung Android Phone -> Android Composite ADB Interface'. I disconnected and reconnected the tablet to ensure everything initialised properly and did 'adb kill-server' followed by 'adb devices'.

At this point, 'adb devices' still did not show the tablet so I spent a good hour searching the internet, with most results suggesting one driver or another that I'd already tried, or the fairly useless 'adb kill-server' followed by 'adb start-server'. Finally I got a result - try moving the device to another USB port on your computer.

I have a Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3 motherboard which has 6 USB ports on the back panel; the tablet had been connected to the set next to the HDMI port which are USB 3.0/2.0 ports and are blue in colour. Moving the connector to the USB 2.0/1.1 ports which are red in colour immediately made the tablet visible in the 'adb devices' list. :victory:

TL;DR If your tablet shows up in device manager but not adb devices, try a different USB port

Big thanks to WugFresh for the great tool
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sound2005:
Hi Everyone

Can anyone suggest a program that i can view ALL my phone folders from my pc via wifi.

Looking for an application like 'dropspot'.

i dont mind if the app connects via smb, ftp or http.

i would preferably like the app to be for non rooted phones (so my missus can use this as well).

So far, my search has ended with all applications just being able to browse the 'SDcard' folder.

i have tried 'Andreas Liebig' and 'The Olive Tree' ftp server programs but neither of them are as good as 'dropspot'

Can anyone suggest an alternative (free/paid) to 'dropspot'???

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohebq:
try swift ftp or airdroid
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deus_ex11:
A couple more to ponder over. There is Wifi File Explorer Pro and Wifi File Transfer Pro. You just need to enter a address in your pc browser to view your phones files. Already mentioned AirDroid is particularly good because it is free and does alot more.

Just to add, these are from the play store.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sound2005:
Thanks guys, Wifi File Explorer Pro and Wifi File Transfer Pro both did the job great

Also loving swift ftp!!!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] razormy:
I can install just fine but when I try to Wipe cache for the first time, it simply hangs on that screen and nothing happens.

After that, I can no longer boot into the stock rom. I have to use livesuite to reload the factory firmware.

I have an Onda vi40 Ultimate 16gb Alwinner A10 with "Vi40Q_1.4rc3" latest as of this post firmware.

Anything that I can do to get past this. I really want to load a custom rom.

hmm maybe your partition is not same with my tablet, but did you try the first build ? i hope it will work
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mccabet:
CWM installed on Skytex SkyPad Alpha2

Just to let you know, I loaded your 6.0.1.1 build as per your instructions into my Skytex Skypad Alpha 2 that also used the A10 CPU and wish to report my results...

The Skytex Skypad uses ICS 4.04, comes with 1GB ram, 4GB flash, capacitive touch.

I believe there are partition differences (size/use?) between the tablets. My partitions are:

/* NAND Devices and application */

nanda	--	Boot? ( FAT16 Filesystem, 16,384KB partition size )

nandb	--	Boot Config ( Length of Image 0x020000, 2,048KB partition size )

nandc	--	Root	( Length of Image 0x809000, 32,768KB partition size )

nandd	--	/System	( Mounted by system, 262,144KB partition size )

nande	--	/Data	( Mounted by system, 524,288KB partition size )

nandf	--	Not Used? ( Blank, all bytes 0xFF, 1,024KB partition size )

nandg	--	Recovery ?	( Length of Image 0x85B800, 32,786KB partition size )

nandh	--	/Cache	( Mounted by system, 262,144KB partition size )

nandi	--	/sdcard ( FAT32 Filesystem, 996,668KB partition size )

The hot-keys does not get me into CWM, but your script does ( possible tablet issue? ).

When doing a backup, the size of system (187KB) is too small to be using the correct partition.

I would like to use your work to build for my Skytex. Can you provide links to your source and some guidance?

Thanks

Tom

Hey community?

I have been following this wonderful community for more than a year and had a question regarding how to install Blindice v12 on my desire s with s-on.

I have had cm7 and miui on my device before. It means you can't straight flash through recovery( you have to flash kernel through fastboot). So when I open bindicev12.zip, I see a kernel folder and four different folders named : default, sio, smartass and sweeptowake which have their individual boot.img . So which one should I flash? The default one? Help is really appreciated.
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
Check the updater script to find hints and identify which boot.img you should flash.

There should be, somewhat close, to "if" clauses.

I haven't installed blindice yet so really just trying to help out, out from common sense.
[HTC Desire S] noobsaid61:
Thanks I think the sweeptowake,sio etc are just governers. The default one is cm9. Is is safe though?
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
You'll never know unless you try. Based on experience, if the rom is on a wrong kernel, it just not boot up. You may end with a boot loop or boot directly to recovery. Those are the signs that your are not on the correct kernel(boot.img).
[HTC Desire S] noobsaid61:
Cheers. Changed my mind. I am gonna install different ics from vampire36 as blindice is no longer under development.
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
I believe the dev is now focusing on BlindBean..
