[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
Issue the commands "cat /proc/mtd" and "mount" on your device at command prompt (e.g. via "adb shell" or the "ConnectBot" terminal app). This shows you if the device allows you to copy the boot image from it. Paste in the output into this thread. If you believe the "clone the tablet via the SDcard" is a good solution for you, the process is in short terms something as below;

Copy the boot image to the sdcard:

# dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd2ro of=/mnt/sdcard/boot.img bs=2048 (device dependent of contents of /proc/mtd)

Remove the sdcard, insert into a computer, split the boot image info kernel + initramfs. Read http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack%2C_Edit%2C_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images for instructions about how to work with the boot.img file. I really recommend a GNU/Linux environment for this.

Then edit /init.rc replacing the "mount yaffs2 mtd@system /system" with "mount ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system" for system and data (use p3 for data partition, the device name may be different on your tablet, see mount output).

Create an SDcard with three partitions: #1 vfat (standard), #2 and #3 ext3. Insert into you device and boot it up again.

# mount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /root

# cd /system

# tar cf - . | (cd /root ; tar xf - )

# umount /root

# mount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /root

# cd /data

# tar cf - . | (cd /root ; tar xf - )

# umount /root

This copies your partitions to the SDcard. Shutdown the tablet again.

Make a new boot.img using the instructions in the link above, using the edited init.rc script.

Now you can non-destrutive give this a try.

Place you tablet in fastboot mode (often vol-up (or vol-down) during power on).

$ fastboot devices

This vill verify the tablet is in fastboot mode. It should be listed. Then:

$ fastboot boot boot.img

Note here, only BOOT the tablet, do NOT use the "flash" keyword. This in case of the image isn't working, you'll just have to restart you tablet, and no harm's done.

Look around. Do a "mount" command. Everything works? Mount shows /data and /system from sdcard? Perfect. Now you can reflash it. Shutdown and flash:

$ fastboot flash boot boot.img

Now the device will use /data and /system from the SDcard every time. Customize your device, and then clone your SDcard and try it in tablet #2 you'll booting with your new boot.img and the cloned SDcard. Verify that #tablet #2 is a perfect clone of tablet #1. It is? Now you can flash the boot,img into all your tablets.

--------------------

But don't forget, there may be other solutions as well, maybe more suitable. This you'll have to investigate yourself. :)

And the usual disclaimer - you can probably not follow above by the letter. There sure is some obstacle you'll have to overcome, something non-standard, etc.

Also keep the original boot.img file for safekeeping in the case you want to restore the device's boot image some day.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fro5tie:
Wow! Thanks for the info! This is really helpful, I need to set aside a bit of time to work through this and have a look. Thanks again its really appreciated, I'll be back with info once I've had chance to give it a go!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweeny80:
I certainly can't offer more detailed info than the fellow from Sweden who seems to really know his stuff...but what about making a nandroid backup of your fully configured reference tablet (I'm assuming all tablets are rooted). Ensure all your tabs have CWM recovery and copy your nandroid file to each one.

If any of your fleet get 'corrupted' you can simply restore the original, fully configured ROM.

In fact that sounds too obvious..likely I missed something about your scenario which precludes this option from consideration!

Good luck mate.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fro5tie:
Hi

Yes that was my first thought as well, tablets are rooted yes but there is no CWM for the tablet. Its an obscure Chinese branded tablet.

Unless there is another way to do nandroid backups?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweeny80:
hmm tricky situation. Catch 22 ! From what I know, your best bet is to backup all possible things through Titanium Backup given that you don't have the use of Nandroid backups. You can include wifi settings, messages etc but it's modular & not systemic.

I did a quick google search with no luck - time to upgrade your fleet dude :-0

Best of luck.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheFiveDots:
The app is literally called, FoxFi (WiFi Tether w/o Root).

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tyshemi:
Lol this is very true
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] V@no:
I've been using Wifi Tether very occasionally, a few times a month maybe. A few days ago received message from ATT telling me that my unlimited plan is about to be changed if I don't call them.

So while I'm on phone with ATT pretending like I have no clue what they are talking about, the person I talked to gave me a list of about 10 apps that they can detect, one of them was FoxFi. Basically anything available at google play is no good...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eelton:
That's certainly interesting information. I guess the question is, do they care only because you're on an unlimited plan, or will they give anyone trouble for even limited tethering?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tlo218:
Is it legal for them to do that? I'm on a grandfathered unlimited data plan. Pretty sure there is nothing in my contract about restricted apps....

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] waiters:
The app is not illegal to use. If you get caught they will force you onto a tethering g plan, but not before warning you first
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jcejohnson:
I'm curious, how would they detect which apps I have installed?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tlo218:
Is there no privacy laws that protect me from warentless monitoring on my cell phone?

Samsung s3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheFiveDots:
I think it's more that they can detect patterns in tethering traffic that are not seen in standard mobile traffic, rather than knowing exactly which apps you have installed and are tethering with.

Keeping in mind I have no idea how this works (or if this approach would be legal), but it would be pretty simple to figure out based what content is frequently being accessed via your "mobile device". e.g. if your phone regularly contacts the Windows Update server, they may suspect you're tethering. Combined with some analysis of how you usually use data much more quickly and differently on a computer vs. a mobile, the patterns would become clear pretty quickly. I'm sure if you mapped out browsing traffic of 1 hour on a desktop vs. 1 hour on a mobile phone, they would look quite different for most people.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jcejohnson:
OK, that makes more sense. I left my tin-foil hat at the cleaners and was worried that AT&T were sending their brain-rays into my head to determine what I've installed (e.g. -- that they have a deal with Google to get access to get a report of installed apps). While that could be true, I expect it is highly unlikely.

Indeed. But tethering my Android tablet for some bigger-screen browsing & such would't trip the sensors (or should I say "censors") with FoxFi's proxy mechanism. Like your Windows example, though, letting a friend tether their iDevice for a big app install might do so.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JBTY:
I beleive there are some proxies you can use to hide tethering but i have no idea as to how to find or implement them

"Updating your radio"​

NOTICE: This section is by far the most dangerous sections of all of this stuff. For this reason I will give a warning about what NOT to do before I even tell you what to do. During this process we will be updating the radio. When we go to update the radio it will ask you if you wish to update using the file it has found. You will answer yes and allow it to do the update. Should you mess up at any point and be asked again to do the update, DO NOT DO IT!!! If you update your radio twice with this file, you WILL brick your phone. Once again, DO NOT update the radio twice with this file.

Note: This section can only be done if you have done the previous section, S=off. Also there has been a bit of confusion when trying to update the radio, please ensure that you follow the steps carefully as some people are attempting to update their radio from recovery. Updating your radio is done from HBOOT, not recovery.

Step 1: Locate the "PB98IMG.zip" file you downloaded .

Step 2: Place it on the sdcard (in the bottom directory)

Step 3: Power off your phone.

Step 4: Hold the volume down button and then press and hold the power on button at the same time. This will boot you into a screen that says something about HBOOT.

Step 5: At this point it will scan for a file and find the "PB98IMG.zip" file on your sdcard and ask if you wish to update with it. Select yes.

Step 6: You should see a bar on the right that shows you the loading progress. Once it is done, press the power button and the menu options should change.

Step 7: You should now have an option to reboot your phone, press the volume down button and then the power on button to select it.

Step 8: Once your phone is booted go to settings.

Step 9: Select "About Phone" (At the bottom)

Step 10: Select "Software Information"

Step 11: Ensure that in the "Baseband version" section it says "2.22.XX.XX.XX" (No, not really X's, just any numbers there will do)

Step 12: Install a file manager on your phone. Astro File manager will do.

Step 13: Locate the "PB98IMG.zip" file on your sdcard and delete it. (You want to remove it off of your sdcard so you don't make a mistake and update your radio again, bricking your phone)

Congrats, you now have an updated radio!! (Hopefully a phone that isn't bricked either cause you were sure to follow my warning)​

What exactly is the radio, and the benefit of upgrading it?
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
Learn to search. There's got to be at least ten of these.

Jeez....
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
First link to the new radio posted. How is it one of many?
[HTC Rezound] phuckwithfire:
Right? Gotta love that wonderful, elitist XDA attitude.

"Hey, instead of taking 2 minutes to answer your question, I'm not only going to NOT answer it, but I'm going to be condescending, too! Then I wonder why I have absolutely no life outside of XDA."

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

My apologies, Po1soNNN. My inadequate searching skills didn't answer my questions regarding radios and their functions. Could you be so kind to use yours to link me to a thread so that I might educate myself? I wouldn't want to burden anyone with my ignorance. Thanks in advance for your helpfulness. ;)
[HTC Rezound] 318sugarhill:
Annnnnnndddddd, there still are jerks who continue to be jerks. Apparently Po1soNNN feels this a forum for only those who know everything.

The radio is what communicates with the tower, but not knowing what you are doing with a radio file is the EASIEST way to Brick your phone. You CANNOT touch the radio if you are S-on. S-off is the last layer of security to protect you from yourself. My Dinc was S-off, but not my Rezound. I found with my Dinc, that changing the radio rarely helped me, and usually made reception worse. The reason for posting the radio separately are for those want the upgraded radio without adding any of the rest of the OTA update, or without having to return to stock. If you are s-off, you can just run this in Hboot and get the new radio. But it's definitely not for anyone who doesn't know what they are doing, and you won't usually find help if you don't. I understand the annoyance, by Po1soNNN, but still no need to be jerk about it. We all learned from someone else at some point.
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
the name of the thread is radio updating guide. There are tons of these "guides" if the topic had just included a link to radios I wouldn't have cared but 90% of the thread is radio updating while a measly 10% are the new radios.

It's pretty self explanatory.

Radios function= to connect to cell towers.

I love your enthusiasm towards trolls but the fact is your ignoring the rules and making yourself look like a troll.

Thanks, bye ;)
[HTC Rezound] phuckwithfire:
Many, many thanks!! I had an inkling that that's what the radios were, but I couldn't find any straightforward answers when I searched. Thank you for answering my questions without having the urge to talk down to me. It's much appreciated, and always refreshing to encounter someone on XDA who isn't hellbent on making me cry because I don't have the coveted title of "Senior Member". :)

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

You show me where it explicitly states that you MAY NOT ask questions, and I'll embrace my trolldom with open arms.
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
I'm sorry for getting out of hand. It's just I get a little mad when people don't search its the first rule in the list of rules but then again I broke a rule myself: "treat members the way you want to be treated" and I'm sorry for that.
[HTC Rezound] phuckwithfire:
Thank you, and I apologize for coming across as a troll. The only thing I'd like to point out, is if you'll look at my profile, you'll see I've been around XDA for awhile now, but have very few posts. That's due to me following the rules, and doing as much research as possible before I resort to asking for help. I think we can both agree that modding HTC phones is a wee-bit more difficult than some of the others. This is my first HTC phone, and it's been completely new territory for me. I only ask questions when I feel I haven't found the answers I was looking for while independently scouring the forums.
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
Wow I kinda do the same. I dont post alot because most threads become troll threads before I can help people in them and I'd rather stay out of the fire so I don't post and let it drag me in. This is my first HTC phone and first smartphone and even though I learned pretty fast there's still stuff I don't know.
[HTC Rezound] csong95:
Well a radio is Hard to say since it upgrade baseband from what i know it make better tower single
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
Just to be sure. This is only the radio correct? No firmware included?
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
Firmware is a very broad term that includes radios, hboot and a few other miscellaneous files.
[HTC Rezound] csong95:
Yes this is only the radio
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
Correct mostly. I was making sure it didn't contain hboot specifically. I wanted to keep my juopunutbear 2.2525 version.
[HTC Rezound] csong95:
Yes this is only radio no hboot
[HTC Rezound] Redwolf379:
I've heard mixed reviews on the full OTA, but I went ahead and updated just the radio, hoping to address signal problems I have at work and occasional data drops. I'm on Viper Rez and the new radio is running like a champ. I seem to be getting faster connections and have not gotten any data drops.

Did you add the .zip part of the file name yourself? It is already a zip file, but sometimes you don't see the suffix, so when you add yours it actually changes the file name to PH98IMG.zip.zip.

I admit that I asked for permission to do it, but maybe do not mind :)

Now I use a custom kernel and still stock rom , if i want to update to stock rom via ODIN

should i flash the kernel to Stock Kernel first and flash the stock rom , or just flash the rom anyway via ODIN ?

I am still use stock rom ( ICS 4.0.4 )

and the kernel is standard Notecore v13

I'm sorry my English Is so Bad :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
If you flash update via PC Odin, your custom kernel will be replaced by unsafe stock kernel, as well you will lose root. You have to reflash custom kernel to root and also need to reset counter.

If you want to preserve root and custom kernel, you can use Mobile Odin
