[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mauiyob:
hey all,

so i ordered my nexus 7 on friday and have been anticipating having it in my hands ever since! any suggestions on what I should put on it, how to use it? or themes? lemme know what is up people! i dont want to waste time tinkering with this, I want to have it optimized after a few hours... obviously I am going to root it!!! im so stoaked!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbird21:
It's hard to say. optimized for what exactly? Out of the box the device comes with enough built in apps to enjoy most common/basic tablet use

- gmail, web browsing, ebook, map, calendar, address book, music players, etc

- then next common things are games

- news and entertainment..

most people instal social networking apps for twitter, facebook, G+, web site readers. what not... without knowing what you want to do with your tablet, best people can suggest is bunch of popular/best of apps that you may or may not find useful. so... it all depends what you find interesting. it's a general purpose computer...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] After School Special:
How exciting! :)

I would look at Beautiful Widgets, and check out background wallpapers. Also check out the thread for "how would you spend your $25 play store credit", to get ideas on which $$$ apps are good to buy. I think Plex was the first app I ever purchased, and tapatalk was the second. (This was a few months ago, before Nexus 7).

If I do a sync with my google account ALL of my bookmarks from my laptop show up as bookmarks on my phone. That's a few hundred bookmarks. does anyone know why, or how this happens? I did tryout Google Chrome for a few days on my laptop but it sucked so I uninstalled it. Did Chrome copy all my bookmarks and store them somewhere in my google account or something? Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fujirio:
what browser are you on your phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wolfbeef123:
Sometimes when you install a browser, it automatically imports your bookmarks from another browser.

Chrome most likely did that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AdRock02gt:
I'm using the stock browser on the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AdRock02gt:
I kinda thought Chrome did it, but I don't have Chrome installed on my laptop at all anymore. It seems like they're all stored in my google account somewhere. So when I Sync my google account it automatically puts them all on my phone. I just can't find them stored in the google account anywhere, I have no idea where else to look, or if I'm completely missing something while looking through my account online.

[HTC Rezound] bloodymurderlive:
I was going to install an ICS Sense ROM on my Rezound, but i just got a message that the OTA is downloading.

I'm rooted. I'm going to do S-Off soon as I can.

Should I get S-Off before installing the OTA?

Will the OTA break root?

Will the OTA break S-Off?

Are there advantages to using an ICS Sense ROM instead of the OTA? Vice versa?

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] Evocm7:
I would s-off before you accept ota. It will not effect s-off. Installing an ics Rom wild give you better performance as well as better battery life
[HTC Rezound] Bensky91:
I was in your exact position so I can help out here.

Note that before you accept the OTA you will need to flash the stock GB recovery, as that's how the OTA installs. Without it the OTA will fail. Also make sure you're 'locked' if you don't end up S-OFFing before the OTA. The S-OFF procedure automatically "locks" your bootloader even though you of course have full access.

I S-OFF'd before OTA just because the S-OFF method has been known to work with GB firmware. Others have reported the .5 ControlBear version on the unlimited.io website also works with the .22 OTA release so that's your call. IMO yes do it before, but it will likely work either way.

-Root will definitely break. Easy to fix: you just google Superuser and flash the latest ARM version.

-The OTA will not break S-OFF. HOWEVER, it will completely overwrite your "modded" hboot with its own secured version. To fix this, grab the ICS hboot from the unlimited.io website and flash it. This is necessary if you want to flash a custom recovery again.

-OTA advantages: support from VZW and probably *slightly* less bugs than a custom ROM. However you of course have to deal with the bloat. It's your call.
[HTC Rezound] bloodymurderlive:
Ok, first step...

Where do I get the stock GB recovery?

And i guess i have to "flash" using my computer, not from within Amon?

So, all of the "flashing" you're talking about had to take place using my computer, not from within Amon?

Sorry I'm such a noob. :(
[HTC Rezound] bloodymurderlive:
Anyone? I can't find the stock GB recovery for the Rezound... Anyone know where I can get it?

And do I flash it the same way I flashed AR recovery?
[HTC Rezound] zac41189:
http://www.mediafire.com/?wb21d2gdurui2c6

This is from a write up Scotty did a while back. It's worked for me in the past.

Rename to PH98IMG.zip and place on root of SD card and flash in hboot.

Or extract the recovery.img from that zip and flash in fastboot with the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[HTC Rezound] bloodymurderlive:
Thanks!

And now to get root back once I install the ICS OTA...

Do I simply flash the latest Superuser the same way that I flashed the recovery? ie: Do I rename it PH98IMG.zip and flash it in hboot?

You guys are awesome...
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
The superuser zip you would flash in recovery not hboot. After you do the ota update you might have to re flash your recovery first though
[HTC Rezound] bloodymurderlive:
Gottcha... So now I'm confused because the link for superSU in Scotty's n00b-friendly guide takes me here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

And the only link for superSU is to the Android market... How do I get the zip for superSU so that I can flash it in recovery?
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
It's right there as CWM SuperSU v0.94
[HTC Rezound] bloodymurderlive:
Thanks... It's confusing because it says CWM in the name, but I suppose that really just means you can install it with a custom recovery, not necessarily CWM.

CWM really screwed up charging on my phone before, so I was leary of it.

Got it rooted and ready to go now. Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Sharky444:
My intention was to link /mnt/usbdrive to /sdcard/usb on my galaxy tab 10.1 with cm10 preview.

Creating a symlink using ln -s did not work, because the stick is fat32.

So I've googled some more and found this "solution":

mount -o /olddir /newdir

so I've executed:

mount -o /mnt/usbdrive /sdcard/usb

and it worked! I could see the content of the usb stick in /sdcard/usb.

my joy was not long.

I've discovered that after removing and reinserting the usb stick,

it was not mounting correctly anymore. both /mnt/usbdrive and /sdcard/usb

were just empty folders.

So I've tried restoring the old state with this:

umount /storages/sdcard0/usb

this worked without error, and I've also deleted the /sdcard/usb folder.

I've reinserted the stick, but /mnt/usbdrive is still an empty folder!

what's worse - geoing to settings | storage in CM10 results in a settings app crash!

If I type mount (as super user) I get this as the last line:

/dev/block/vold/8:0 on /mnt/usbdrive type vfat (rw,...)

but doing a ls /mnt/usbdrive shows it's empty.

I've attached the usb stick to a Windows notebook, and the files are still there.

Please help me to restore the old state and get the usb stick working again!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvcaudill2:
Hey everyone, I'm brand new to this, and I was told before I start getting into ROMS that I need to run this software:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1182871

So I followed each and every step, and my phone rebooted and it said "Unlocked" like it was supposed to. BUT, when it booted into the OS, it booted into the stock OS as if I had just bought it off the shelf. Additionally, I am seeing a little exclamation point and android character when I go to the Android Recovery option under fastboot (also installed via linked software)

What happened!?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
Congratulations, you have just successfully unlocked the bootloader. Obviously you had higher hopes and were expecting bells and whistles, sorry to disappoint but that's it for this step. Next, flash a custom recovery via fastboot (I recommend the RomRacer's version of CWM), and then use that recovery to flash whatever ROM you choose. Instructions for all these steps are available in other threads. Good luck!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvcaudill2:
I thought when the phone rebooted after unlocking bootloader, it would boot back into the system I had before unlocking it? I flashed the "Tenfar recovery" that was in the automated script. However, when I flashboot into "Android Recovery," this is when I get to the exclamation point/ android character. Is this normal?

EDIT: I just reran the script to install recovery, and it seems to have worked the second time. I ran a backup and saved it on my external SD card, but is this backup of MY system, or of whatever its now booting into after being unlocked?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvcaudill2:
Ok guys, apparently I've somehow managed to screw this up. I swear I am following instructions completely!

I decided to try MIUI first, and so I made the backup, wiped all the data/cache/etc, and flashed the ROM. Upon reboot I discovered I couldnt get past the Dual Core screen. So, I rebooted into recovery and flash my backup, and have now found out that I cant get past the "Rethink Possible" screen.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
Since at that point you haven't flashed anything else yet, the backup you made couldn't be anything else but your "normal" system.

No idea what (if anything) might've gone wrong, but here's something that you maybe didn't know - after flashing a new ROM, the following boot will always take MUCH longer than usual. After that the phone should boot at "normal" speed again. So have patience and give it time.

Also, not sure how come you're stuck at "rethink" screen. As far as I know that's the very end of the boot process, it is shown just before the launcher starts. Still, give it more time. If nothing happens after, say, 5 mins, try booting into recovery and wipe data and cache, then try booting normally again.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvcaudill2:
I think I may have found the problem. When I go to restore, it runs for a while, and then says "Error formatting /data"

What should I do?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvcaudill2:
Alright, im at a loss here. I've done everything I can think of. I've tried every restore setting possible, I've wiped everything MANY times, I've flashed a few diff ROMS to try to get ANYTHING to work.

I am utterly confused about why none of this is working. I've read so much info on the forums that my head is just swimming. I never thought this would be that hard.

At this point I'd just like to get ANYTHING working so that I have a usable phone tomorrow.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barry_:
sounds like you're having lots of fun :laugh: try not to worry... we've all been there to varying degrees

If this was me I wouldn't go down the 'fastboot' method but just stick to accessing android recovery by the 'power off/on, hold volume down when powering on, and then selecting android recovery'

After this you should be into the phone's recovery mode with the menu in front of you? scroll down to 'wipe data/factory reset' and select (by pressing the power button) after this select 'wipe cache partition' and repeat the process.

Then go to 'install zip from sd card' and select this... if you have installed the ROM's correctly you should have a list at the bottom of the 'sd card' list? Select the rom you want and install by pressing power button ect.

Once this has been installed you then need to 'go back' to the main recovery page and then select 'reboot system'

Let us know if this helps... and good luck!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gianluca.tomat:
i would add wipe all (data & cache) again after installing!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
I would try this:

Power down your phone, go to fastboot mode (Power + Vol-, then find Fastboot with Vol- and confirm with Vol+), connect to computer, then on the computer run these commands:

moto-fastboot erase -w
moto-fastboot reboot-bootloader

Then in the same menu as before, select Android recovery (and confirm with Vol+). When in recovery, try doing restore again.

If that doesn't work either, here's an alternative method to wipe /data from recovery using adb.

When in recovery, connect the phone to the computer and run this:

adb shell

That should place you in the phone's shell. Now in recovery go to Mounts and storage > Mount /data.

Then in the phone shell (on the computer) run this:

mount | grep /data

It should print something like:

[color=red]/dev/block/mmcblk0p[B]XX[/B][/color] on /data type ext3 (rw,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,data=ordered)

Note the first value printed. For me it's /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 but I'm not sure if that goes for all Atrixes out there, so better safe than sorry.

Now go back to recovery and select Mounts and storage > Unmount /data.

Now back to the computer - run this:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p[B]XX[/B]

Where XX is obviously what you got from the previous command.

When it's done (you get your prompt back), type exit and go back to recovery on the phone. Now you can try restoring your backup or flashing a ROM or whatever.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvcaudill2:
Solved

This is EXACTLY the process I had been using. I just tried this again with MIUI, and again I got the screen that said MIUI was successfully installed from the sdcard. I rebooted, and now I've been stuck at the "Dual Core" unlocked screen.

Your personal documents such as pictures and videos are stored in the internal storage area (sometimes called "internal sdcard"), and that's not touched by any ROM installation.
