with the speaker dock i set it up in the kitchen so my girl can watch her Golden Girls or what ever while she cooks.. and listen to internet radio.. bought one for myself to watch my shows at work on lunch and breaks since i work night shift i miss all the primetime shows.. so i grab em and catch up.. Xoom is awesome.. and also grabbed a second speaker dock for internet radio while i surf the net on my PC..
[Xoom General] xdatastic:
I use it as a jukebox (google music) and internet machine with the HD Dock for the shed. Large touchscreens are handy when quickly googling how to fix something.
[Xoom General] Life4Never:
I use my Xoom as a media device when I'm in bed, so watching movies, anime as well as browsing the internet.

The other use for the Xoom is as an educational device, using it to display textbook and my typed up work while I'm at school.
[Xoom General] parkentosh:
I mostly use my Xoom for internet and pdf's... It's perfect... I'm thinking about buying a bluetooth keyboard for typing... Then I would not need my laptop anymore and i could sell it (since I also have a desktop pc at home)...
[Xoom General] grey.ghost:
It's my digital textbook mostly. 21 hours per semester...I don't want to have to lug paper books around. Web surfing, a little gaming, email, eBay, craigslist...
[Xoom General] jahadmajeed:
One step ahead...

After my laptop fried up last month, I bought a Microsoft bluetooth keyboard and a Belkin bluetooth mouse. Along with a microHDMI cable connected to my TV, it almost replaces a laptop. Now I do my browsing, twitter, reddit and even some work stuff on the Xoom.

My home/office away from home/office.

I bought mine the day after it launched and like many others, it has become indispensable to me. As a true road warrior for business, I am all about reducing the amount that I have to take with me, and this frees up the load considerably. Since I have my 3rd iteration of a bluetooth keyboard case (Kensington with the removable keyboard, it is by far the best I have used with a more natural keyboard layout than any of the others I have tried... no more having to skip over the up arrow to get to the right shift key), I can use it for long and short projects. Add a bluetooth mouse and there is very little that I cannot do if I need to, and that which I cannot do, I use Phone My PC to control my laptop remotely. I therefore almost never have to travel with my laptop anymore, which considerably lightens my travel load. My back is very thankful for that.

Email (stock)

Gmail (stock)

Browsing (Dolphin)

Remote Access

Movies (compressed with Slysoft)

Books (Kindle)

Games (mostly my son)

Personal finance

Presentations

Company software (apps)

Salesforce.com (browsing... the app leavs a lot to be desired)

Skype

I am sure that if I wanted to spend more time on this list I could come up with many others. Since getting mine, I have implemented the Xoom (an other tablets since Verizon is no longer selling them) to my company's sales force which has lead to a dramatic increase in productivity and communication. Even received a national award for the implementation strategy and the increases that it has brought to the company. I have played with many of the other tablets that are out there since the Xoom is no longer available, and it is still my favorite. I feel that many of the people that do not use it much either a) do not have the necessity for the various things that the Xoom can do or b) have not explored the potential that the Xoom has for their particular lifestyle.

Hey guys,

i was hoping some devs might be able to point me in the right direction,

I want to make my own custom kernel with added CPU Governor's & I/O Schedulers plus other tweaks to it.

I was hoping if some other Dev's could point me in the right direction to help me accomplish making one.

Then i will be able to release my ICS-Themed Rom and Custom Kernel i was only waiting to post it once i had made my own custom Kernel

Anything is greatly Appreciated.

Cheers DeejayCrazy
[LG Optimus 3D] samno:
Here is one way to add OC https://github.com/bedwa/Thrillz-GB/commits/master credits to bedwa

For io and governors youll need to find source for one then add it to make files and kconfigs. Github and google are all you need.
[LG Optimus 3D] deejaycrazy:
Thanks Samno

Thanks Samno. I will do some more searching tonight and hopefully i come out with something.

[HTC EVO 3D] irl5fan:
This morning I got a notification saying there is a software update available for the EVO 3D. Went to download it and it came back saying there are no updates available. I checked the software number on my phone and it is listed as 2.17.651.5, the new one is 2.89.651.2. Is there any other way to get this update on my phone? It is stock. Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Did you go to System Updates > HTC software updates? 2.17 is GB and 2.89 is ICS, so since you are stock, you should be able to just take the ota.

[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
It's been a while since I've been stock. If I remember right, the phone should notify you in the status bar of the update after restarting the phone. You can then select the notification and it should run the update.

[HTC EVO 3D] Golf Nut:
Keep trying. I was getting the same message this morning (that no update was available), but I just tried the manual update again, and now it tells me there is an update available. My phone is downloading the update. It is 305.76MB in size, so you need a fast connection like wifi to make it go faster.

BTW - the update tells me that I am getting HTC Sense 3.6 along with Android 4.0 so this should be interesting to see.

Good luck!

Jason
[HTC EVO 3D] irl5fan:
Ok, finally getting the update. These are the steps I took to get there:

1) Dial pad: ##72786#

2) Password: 132820

3) Menu > Reset

4) Phone reboots, keep clicking 'ok' while updating firmware, prl, profile, etc.

5) Try to do a software update.

6) If that doesn't work, go into hboot and do a factory reset.

7) Update Profile

8) Update Software

I am now downloading the new software. Thanks to those who gave input!

Does anyone have any experience with jtag and unbricking? I ask because after bricking two phones, a third probably won't go over so well with the warranty dept. I'm willing to pick up a jtag jig so that I can keep developing but I'd like to pick the brain of someone with experience in this area before I do so. Possibly someone with the hardware already whose willing to soft brick and attempt a recovery. I know its a lot to ask but if we have

a definite way to unbrick we can really go at it. Plus I'd be willing to use the jig I pick up to attempt unbricking for others if they soft brick while devving.

did you try to get you rezound into "download" mode? i know there was another member that could unbrick it if you could get into that mode. when i bricked i couldnt get it to work. but maybe your brick was a different type then mine
[HTC Rezound] chad0989:
qhusb_dload? I tried by doing the wire trick (like for s-off). I figured if I could get that I'd be able to recover but it wasn't working for me. Is there another way?

Right now I get no indication that the phone has any signs of life, no power on at all and not even a charge led. I have another one on its way but I really don't want to try for three strikes. I'm thinking I'm going to stay s-on for devving. It should be harder to brick then.
[HTC Rezound] MajikUF:
This is the exact reason I never s-off'd. I don't need the smallest mistake to cost me a phone. With all of the aroma installers, it doesn't really seem necessary.

You do know he's been working on cm9 to bring to us right?
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
yep thats the one. if you could get it into download mode then you can flash a stock recovery and stock hboot back on. but like you said, there was no life at all. it sounds like you did what i did. :/

i dont think you need to worry about how many you are RMA'ing. im on my 3rd now. 2 HW failure and this one has a bad screen.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Wasn't the whole purpose of the "wire trick" that we used for S-OFF for forcing the phone into download mode?

**edit**

oops didn't read the whole discussion. My bad
[HTC Rezound] chad0989:
It would still be nice to have a solid way of unbricking. If I keep sending them back with the same exact problem I feel they would get suspicious eventually. Plus the new one I just got is pretty flawless so far, no dead pixels or anything so I'd like to keep it.

I have a new CM build sitting here right now that I'm terrified to try. Haha. So if you're uh sending the one with the bad screen back and want to try a couple things out first...
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Yea that would be sick if we could get this to work. Probably, to find a JTAG/Uart port, we would have to take the board out of the device. I don't really wanna do it to mine since I wouldn't know how to put it back together :P
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
If you go S-On it should fix the bricking. Atleast that's what JonMan said lol
[HTC Rezound] chad0989:
I concluded that also, since whatever partition is getting corrupted won't be able to be written to. But I haven't had the guts to try it again yet.

How about it with your new one and let me know. ;) Haha. I'm already two bricks in.
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Lol I haven't gotten my new one yet :( went to VZ yesterday and they said they only had new ones in stock and no warranty replacements. They offered me a Razr. Why couldn't I just get a new one? I dunno... Dumbass Verizon lol

do you think it has something to do with the kernel that is causing the bricks?
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
One thing I'm worried about is if devs stay s-on to prevent bricking then how would they know if their stuff would brick other people's phones or not?
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
what about if everyone s-on's ? i mean s-off is nice but if it means brick/no brick....
[HTC Rezound] chad0989:
Just call *611 and keep hitting 0 until you get someone. They'll transfer you to the tech support people and they'll hook you up.
[HTC Rezound] chad0989:
Most likely not. The kernel is barely modified. It pretty much only had updated kgsl / msmfb stuff to work with ICS video libraries.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
so pretty much it has to do with our partitions? i noticed that JB1tz is trying ALOT of things
[HTC Rezound] chad0989:
Looks to me like he's just backporting stuff from 3.0.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
nvm. i found thiis ----- Fix recovery.fstab (Hopefully this fixes the bricks..)
[HTC Rezound] chad0989:
I don't think that's going to fix the bricks. I believe recovery.fstab is only used in the recovery that is built with the ROM. Which I know I wasn't using. Plus the old recovery.fstab was present before any of the bricks starting occurring.
[HTC Rezound] chad0989:
@meadows

Try to do the wire trick while plugging your phone into USB and see if you can get qhusb_dload mode. If it works you'll get a new device in device manager.

I'm reading about different phones and the qhsusb_dload mode. Some say you need to plug in while doing the wire trick, others say to do it without the battery in, some say hold power while doing it. I feel like if its truly a soft brick realistically there should be some way to get into qhsusb_dload mode and recover. I wish I would have tried harder before I sent my phone back.

Found this on the riffbox site about unbricking another HTC phone via qhsusb:

"Use testpoint to force HS-USB QDLoader mode: for this de-power board, shortcut specified point in the schematics to GND with the help of a needle, attach battery and then insert USB cable into PC, wait while phone enumerates as HS-USB QDLoader and then remove the needle"

So basically connect the wire, leave it connected, put the battery in, plug the usb cable in and wait, once its detected then you can remove the wire. Hmm.

I guess if that doesn't work then the only hope for recovering from this type of brick is jtag. I'm still researching riffbox to see if it'll work. I might contact them since the rez is an 8660 device, which they support, but not on their list of supported devices.
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Any specific OS I have to be on? I'm on OSX & have the SDK but I can boot a LiveCD if needed

EDIT: Been a while since I S-Off'd but dont you do the wire trick in HBOOT? I can't even get there lol
[HTC Rezound] chad0989:
Windows would probably be easiest but if you boot a livecd and do:

cat /proc/kmsg

and watch it while you plug it in and see if a device is detected.

Just connect the wire. use a pin or something with the wire attached to connect on the board, and a clip of some sort for the ground pin (the one up top you touch it to during s off), leave it connected. Put the battery in, then connect the usb cable. Wait and see if anything is detected.

Edit: I should add, NOBODY else try this!!! Unless you're already bricked.
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
K would it work if I just used a taped paperclip to connect the top left pin above the battery and the bottom of the 3 on the side?

OK so got my paperclip. GND and top ground pin are accessible. When I run cat /proc/kmsg I just get cat: /proc/kmsg: No such file or directory. I can't run through shell obviously since I'm bricked lol
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
Not sure how to unbrick, but can't you plug microcontrollers into the JTAG ports? If those even exist. Reason I'm asking, is because I have an Arduino Uno and I remember reading up a long time ago that you can plug an uno into the JTAG ports or something.

Idk I have like zero knowledge on this, and sorry for the off topic post but I'm just wondering.

Sent from my HTC Rezound whilst blazing on AOKP!

If I've helped please hit the thanks button!
[HTC Rezound] chad0989:
You need to boot linux. My bad for not specifying.

Edit. And its the top left and the top one of the three on the side.
[HTC Rezound] chad0989:
Yes, you need something like a riff box and then you should be able to write the emmc independent of the phone having any working firmware on it.
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Kk I will try in a bit. Got vz to send me one. If this fixes it ill just rebrick or something lol
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
why not keep the old one then? lol.

btw, change you signature from buying an Arizona to buying a Jamba juice ;)
[HTC Rezound] MaulingDeOso:
fstab -> filesystem table

The problem here is that they likely overwrote the hboot firmware, which is stored on the internal eMMC like everything else. This is stored on a fixed location on-disk, likely the very first sector, and it needs to be accessed way before filesystems become relevant. I doubt there's an extra ROM with code that can recover from this, as it wouldn't be cost effective to have yet another recovery stage for such an unlikely situation. The only real fix I can see is to rewrite the firmware directly to the flash chip (which is what this whole thread is about, BTW).

As you suggested, it could have something to do "with partitions." It's possible that trying to mount, or succeeding in mounting the wrong partition in the wrong place can accidentally cause the operating system to try to recover and inexplicably wipe out critical parts of the boot code. On the other hand, if you're messing with disk devices directly, you can royally screw things up by writing only a few bytes to the device. This is why we have NAND write locks and the associated warnings when they're disabled.
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Haven't done it yet but if I do end up getting output, what do I do after that?
[HTC Rezound] chad0989:
If you get some sort of usb device detected paste the output here and get ahold of me and I'll try to walk you through some stuff to try.
[HTC Rezound] kzoodroid:
I wonder if this is similar to the Samsung brick bug problem?
