[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfratella:
I have searched high and low for a good, concise guide to do a clean install. I've flashed maybe a dozen ROMs across my devices and I don't recall ever doing a clean install. I usually just do the usual system format, dalvik wipe, and cache wipe. What else needs to be done for a clean install?

I apologize if this is a basic question.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmillz:
First of all this should be in q&a.

A clean wipe is factory resetting and wiping cache and system.

It makes for less problems doen the road
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfratella:
So, I guess I have been doing a clean install each time, huh?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kptnk:
Hi all,

I have a huge issue here : i have cwm 6.0.1.0 installed, i did a nand before flashing another rom ; i wiped correctly as usual (data, cache, dalvik) and when i rebooted system, i rebooted into recovery. Since i'm stuck in cwm, and i can't even power off the N7 or go to fastboot Mod : each tim i try pushing the 3 buttons, i reboot in cwm.

How can i go into fastboot, or how can i push another recovery ?

Please help, thank you
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesst20:
Are you sure you're doing it right? Hold Power + Volume up and down at the same time and ONLY release once you're on fastboot. I know the tablet will reboot after 10 sec but DONT release the button until you SEE fastboot :)

Hope it helps

[HTC Desire S] taschentuch:
Hi,

I have a Desire S, unlocked via HTCdev with IceColdSandwich installed on it. Almost everything is working fine, but I am experiencing signal losses quite often.

It seems likely to me that the combination of ICS and the radio ROM from GB (3822.10.08.04_M) is causing the issue. While I could flash a new radio ROM, I'd have to S-Off my phone first, which leaves with one other option:

Is it possible to flash the matching RIL for my radio on ICS? Would that possibly work?

If so, I would be grateful for any guidance on how to extract the RIL from the old RUU.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] HeathicusF:
I'm trying to get my wife's Infuse from stock UCLB3 (no root, not CWM) to CM10. The first step I tried to take was to root the phone so I could install TiBu and back up everything.

I tried flashing a custom kernel (Entropy's DD) that included CWM. Odin saw the phone, I clicked PDA and located the tar.md5 file as the instructions said to do. Clicked Start... got this:

And it's been sitting there about 20 minutes now. Nothing else happening with Odin. My HD activity light is flashing, so something is happening, but, I thought it should be rather quick.

Has Odin actually done anything on the phone? Is it bricked at this point??

EDIT 1: Gave up, yanked the cable and Odin showed "Failed." Power cycled the phone and got the "uh-oh" Download Mode screen (phone-!-pc). Reconnected to PC, Odin saw it, clicked Start again and the process went all the way through and rebooted the phone. Now I'm looking at the Samsung logo and the female computer voice just told me I had about 2 minutes remaining.

EDIT 2: Phone rebooted. Have red recovery now. All is well. SuperUser installed. Installing TiBu right now.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
Sounds like you're on your way. Just make sure that you flash an ICS rom before flashing a JB rom.

But to answer your question, it should only take 10 secs or so to flash a kernel.

Kies failed installation

Hello,

Thank you for your help with this.

I was trying to free up some space on my wifes Samsung Galaxy Europa GT-I5500 but for some reason Kies 2.2 did not detect pics and vids and asked me to install a firmware update which may resolve this, which I attempted to do somewhat unsuccessfully. I sourced the firmware it recommended and began the installation which it gave an error for and then left her phone somewhat bricked I think.

That's when I started checking the forums because I've updated a few Android phones to new OS's using a variety of aps, I came across this xda-developers blog about how to use odin v.1.85 to correctly install the pda software.

I began the process and then ran into a problem which is instead of flying through the steps it hung at the setup connection stage. I waited over an hour on the second attempt to see if it would continue but no joy, I did keep checking the processes in task manager to see if the software was still responding okay and it seemed fine I checked the communications through com port an there was data being written to the handset aswell.

When I disconnect the phone it does not go in to download screen for what was timed as 40 mins, I am also not sure why this is.

After more reading and research on the concern I found Odin v4.28 worked with Europa_I5500_v1.0.ops which I have somewhat adjusted using a development package but there are other ops files available for many of the handsets on market. This software installed the firmware I downloaded GT-I5500 H3G. I realize the difference in the s/w where one does not support ops files

Its 12:30 now and it is all done phone working okay. No thanks to Kies which caused a me a lot of grief this evening and a wasted night.

Thank you for all your help, if it wasn't for people like you I would still be trying to fix the handset so many thanks.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8ednz:
Hey bud, If you want to check if you are properly rooted or not try updating script in su or download a root only app like titanium backup & run it. If it comes up with a permission request then all good you're rooted. As for the cwm app, many people including myself avoid it like the plague as it can have incompatibility problems with "cwm recovery" which is different to the "cwm app". If you must have it you can download from the playstore, but make sure you flash zips through recovery not the app.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
CWM is part of the kernel, so if you want it you must flash such one like CF-Root or Siyah.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MO3iusONE:
I was wondering what peoples thoughts were on this. It being a Nexus 7 forum I hope people aren't completely bias. I've had my iPad3 for about six months now, I love it, although lately Apples been rubbing me the wrong way. My biggest concern is the variety in apps.. I've spent so much money purchasing apps for iOS and now that I'm back on Android, I find myself having to either repurchase these apps or look for alternative apps similar to what iOS has. Could this be an alternative to my iPad? or is it more as a companion? Could I expect my Nexus 7 to replace my Kindle3 rather than my iPad? Also, are the amount of apps starting to pick up? I hope the variety is close to what iOS offers.

I already placed one on order so I guess theres no going back but would be nice to get some input from you guys, thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:

I'm not sure about a replacement. I have a transformer prime and use it as well.... but I find the form factor excellent! Sometimes my prime is just too heavy and bulky (the wife complains about carrying it). Bought her the 7 and I just had to get one. Really is a snappy fun tab.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
I wouldn't say reading on the N7 is better because of the screen. The N7 has decent enough text, but it's still nowhere near the iPad 3, which simply has lovely, crisp, magazine-quality text.

I'd say the N7 wins as an ebook reader because its text is good enough, and it's smaller and lighter and so easier to use for longer reading sessions.

Like I said, I own and enjoy both, but there's really no comparing the screens.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b4silver:
I would say it is a worthy replacement. The Google play store has rly beefed up its selection and developers have realized they can no longer ignore android. Most ios apps are on Android I would say with few exceptions.

Also nexus seven is a joy to read on.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
It is not a replacement, it is for a completely different target market and usage scenarios. Now if you settled for an iPad despite it being inappropriate for your use cases, then the N7 might be more suitable for you.

They're about the same speed, ipad 3 has a bit more polish. For general browsing ipad wins, but for reading the nexus 7 is better.

Honestly I don't see the point unless you're just tired of apple, but the nexus 7 apps are nothing compared to ipad apps.

Wait until October when the new smaller ipad is said to be announced, that way you'll have the same format factor as this but with all your apps.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 84tdan:
I have both. And since my n7 has arrived, I barely touch my iPad. Form factor is just perfect. Speed is freaking good.

There are not so many tablet specific apps like the iPad, but you can test any purchased app for 15min. Then you can call a refund. And almost all apps for phones scale very well for the 7" size.

Offline voice dictation is simply outstanding. Great feature.

And the best? You don't need iTunes.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExploreMN:
For casual web surfing and maybe some game playing, the iPad is OK. However, if you need that AND you want to do work related things, Android and the N7 is much better.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbird21:
The number of apps are relatively similar now. All major apps and brand have both version. So it all ends with specialty and obscure apps that you can't live without.

Best, check your current iPad apps, and run down the list. simply google android store, and see if equivalent is available...probably half of them has free version.

if you have specific app question, I am sure somebody knows the equivalent if you post it here.

As of June:

it now has 600,000 apps in the Google Play Store. As well, the store is clearly hitting a brisk pace in adoption, with 1.5 billion downloads every month and 20 billion since Android began. Free apps are available in 190 countries, with paid apps in 132. The app and download counts stack up fairly well to Apple's own claims, although not universally: it's just short of the App Store's 650,000 apps, but Apple can still point to 30 billion total downloads. Google also hasn't said how many apps are explicitly tablet-friendly versus 225,000 iPad-oriented apps. Either way, Google can say that it has largely erased the app quantity deficit, and that's no mean feat.

I've been able to use my iPad 3 without once using iTunes. I mean, literally, mine has never been connected to a PC, and I haven't installed iTunes on any of my machines. Basically, I use iCloud for backup, use Kindle, Nook, and Play Books for ebooks, and installed an app to access Play Music. I don't buy/rent videos for tablets, so no need there.

It's entirely possible to buy and use an iPad without once touching iTunes. Just sayin'...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] hax0red:
I would love to see a way to get more memory out of this thing. The 8GB isn't quite 6GB in reality and I can't fit all my games(modern combat 3, CS Portable, GTA 3, Asphalt 6 and Real Racing 2).

I have considered getting a thumb drive or something to connect to the micro usb port but then I thought it would be cleaner with a case and possible a SD/micro sd slot instead of just a thumb drive. Would also be nice to see a charging port on the case as well.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bransyeah:
If that case existed it would cost at least 50$ so I guess you could sell the one you got now on ebay for the price you got it to a couentry that hasn't the tablet yet and buy the 16gb version.

You just can't go wrong and it's far more convenient.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] theomni:
Get a thin OTG cable, buy a SD card reader (or microSD, depending on which is thinner), plug it into your tablet and find a way to hide the wires into your case. A blurex case or some other big and bulky case may do the work of easily hiding the cable.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] hax0red:
This was my thought at first but I doubt mine would be good enough to remove everytime I need to charge up, and that leads to more complications but I have seen the cell phone upgrades for ipod touch's that are built into the case so an SD card reader built into a case the size of a tablet could be done sleekly aside from a hump @ the USB port and maybe a hump at the charging port.

Just figure if I put this information out there it might get picked up and produced for not only the nexus 7, I believe there is a market as memory needs will always grow.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] hax0red:
I was originally going to take it back but my mom bought it off of me and for $250 I might as well spend $100 more for a TF300 with 32GB memory, micro sd slot, 8MP decent rear cam, 10" screen and same processor setup with better screen and TV out. The TF300 is thinner feeling and much higher quality IMO.

The SD card slot will also go up to 32GB and I believe there are 64GB SD cards out now for fairly cheap($60) compared to the cost of on board memory. 16GB is just barely enough to run my games and then if I wanted my mp3's or movies for on the go it's 32GB+
[Nexus 7 Accessories] hic9582:
I wouldn't recommend the TF line. I have the prime and between the prime, tf300 and tf700 they all seem to have the same IO problems even heavily modded. Jelly bean might have helped it but I'm not positive.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bransyeah:
I do feel you on your need for space really but the thing I tried to tell you is that those 8gb for 50$ will make your life way easier than expecting manufacturers to do what you want and then pay a lot of green to have that bulky solution.

If you have enough with the 6gb you have left of memory just for apps I'd just root it and get the extra you need for media of the many USB sticks you may have at home. But really if you think your best solution is these type of covers then I hope you will find them soon.

:good:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] MoonDogg98:
Pay the 50$ and get the 16gb. Worth it! But a case would be kewl..
[Nexus 7 Accessories] hax0red:
I think it's in everyone's best interest. This gimmick could set a case apart and double it's value with $2 in parts. Hard to beat $10 for 16GB memory stick that ADDS to the 8GB I would have.

As I said, this is really no longer my problem but she wanted me to download videos to it and I noticed it's not even near 8GB of space stock, more like 5.8. So that $50 would get what? 11-12GB? no thanks again.

Not sure about the I/O problems I played with a TF300 at bestbuy and it was holding 60FPS solid in CS Portable while the Nexus 7 hangs around 45-55 and does it looking like crap(washed out, light bleeding, tons of dead pixels) but my mom doesn't care, I did when it came to dishing out another $50 for 11-12GB.
