[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] joshjryan:
I just wanted to follow up that I was able to get my phone back thanks to help from Meanstreak242 in the IRC channel.

I ended up using an adb shell to dd the recovery image to the recovery partition (I *think* it was partition 22).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AbstractMind87:
I'm gonna give this a go as well. Vin, seems you were onto something regarding usage in adb. I've been getting really familiar with it since. And now check out his results. Hopefully this'll work out for me too!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AbstractMind87:
Another no go. Cthrax, can you post or pm me exactly what you did?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cthrax:
1. Mount phone as USB device

2. Copy newer version of ClockWorkMod Touch

3. Go back into recovery and "install zip from flash"

4. Reboot and restore backup.

5. Profit!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AbstractMind87:
well I didnt have the exact circumstance of doing a restore. I just need to format my partitions so that would hopefully allow me to flash something else. My system basically tries its hardest to stay as Read Only. Even when I mount the system, nothing. I was hoping that with a new recovery I could. It "flashes", but once i reboot, its the same o Clockworkmod Recovery v5.8.1.3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cthrax:
Maybe your variant of the problem is closer to what joshjryan did then. He had to use adb shell to manually use dd to copy the bits over. Hopefully he's watching and can chime in with some more comments.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AbstractMind87:
Well, joshjryan, I hope youre reading this too.

This caught my attention after a dmesg:

So then I

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] joshjryan:
This does sound similar to what I was seeing.

I also was not able to actually install the new recovery. So I did this:

I extracted cwm0612touch to get recovery.img

Then I mounted my phones SB by USB and copied recovery.img to my sd card

Then in the adb shell to my phone I used dd to copy the image to the appropriate partition

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22

Hopefully that does the trick for you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AbstractMind87:
It didnt. It installed to the right partition, but after reboot, cwmtouch5.8.1.3 is there again

Is it something in my reboot/boot that causes that?

does anyone else have a pinkish facebook led notification?

at first it used to be red, but now it's pink, but you can still see a bit of blue underneath it.

any way i can change it to blue like the rest of my notifications?

thanks :)

btw, nothing is wrong with the led itself (i think). charging still shows red/green when full, and blue for texts/emails/other notifications

[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] jfriend33:
Hello XDA'ers! My roomate just acquired a wonderful TF300! Its been updated to the latest 4.1.1.xxx. I've researched how to downgrade, unlock, root, upgrade and keep root. But..is there currently any way possible to have full HDMI output or mirroring from this device, regardless of the app(s) being used?

Frankly, he's pissed, but I get it. Hulu doesn't even want to play nice on a rooted device, let alone do full HDMI out. Why? Basically you get cable, without the commercials, on your big screen tv. Project Free TV is not an ideal option for him due to lack of an intuitive interface.

Thanks in advance!

PS, would one of those paid apps in the Google Play Store solve this problem, for say, watching Hulu?

EDIT:

The only reason he's considering root is hdmi mirroring.

No offense but I'm a little disappointed with its performance out of the box. The browser froze like 8 times, switching around apps was very sluggish. My gnex was much faster doing the same things. I bet it would soar unlocked with a good rom...
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] simfan:
only for movies

AFAIK over HDMI you will get the resolution of your device at best (1280x800/720-bar) when you mirror over HDMI. Movies (that blank the TF300T screen) can be -provided source material is full hd- shown on external monitor/TV in full HD.

I don't know of a way to force upscaling the output to 1080p otherwise.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] xda.glawion.de:
I'm also interested on an 300TG. In the settings is an option (HDMI) if the hdmi cable plugged in. Here is a choice between "Ausschnittmodus" and "Skalierungsmodus" (german Language). If i try the first one so i have a full screen, but the "taskbar" is missing. If i choose the second i have no full screen but the the bar appears.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] babymatteo:
I get mirroring when i play videos from YouTube and NETFLIX. Haven't really tried HULU+ cos i have Netflix instead.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] gurningchimp:
Bump.

I've also noticed that in either of the hdmi output modes it's not quite right. Any suggestions for improving the output?

I am confused as to which mytouch I have.. I know its not a slide and It is 4G, Its a T-mobile phone but I dont think it is a glacier... The Model number just says T mobile Mytouch 4g. The back has HTC on it.. I am confused, I want to root my phone but I am not sure if I should go under the slide section or what. Please Assist me in finding the correct forum for my phone.

Lol... I have done this, This tells me T-Mobile MyTouch 4g There isnt anything that tells me which one it is.. I know there are many types of Mytouch including Slide and Glacier.. I am currently installing my webcam drivers on my laptop to take pictures of the phone.. I know its not LG and I know its HTC but under this forum there are slides (which mine is not) and Glaciers (Mine could be but I am not sure because it does not specify this)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IIC0RRUPT10NII:
Ok here are the pictures of the phone..
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smalls_:
Glacier is the development code name (used internally by HTC during hardware testing, before it was branded).

The slide model is code named 'Double Shot', different forum.

And the Panache I believe is just the CAN/International name for the MT4G.

Glacier, MT4G and Panche(?) = All the same device.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bas3balman:
I'm pretty sure that its a Glacier. A glacier is a mytouch 4g they're one in the same. If you live in the U.S. and got it from someone here its a glacier. The Pananche is the Canadian and European version of the mytouch they are a little bit different and have different ways to root. I hope this helps

Edit: I'm almost completely sure it's a glacier. Another way is to use the xda app and look in your signiture in the settings and it will say sent from my Glacier. Like mine does.

Alright!!! thank you all for your help, after searching on this forums I at first thought it would have been glacier but then got turned around and around trying to make sure that I root this the correct way and not with some other phones method... I would not want to brick it. and by the way yes I do live in the USA and I bought it off of craigslist from a dude here. Thank you all for your help!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Haha.

Well the phone has no keyboard, so it's not a slide.

It's Branded with T-mobile, so it's not a panache.

It's made by HTC so it's not an LG myTouch or Huawei

That leaves one option, as far as released phones.

Now the bootloader verified it for you.

[Asus Transformer TF700] noobwow:
I bought a TF700 from Amazon.

it had little light bleeding and clicking screen sound on the speaking side

and the metal back cover is kinda weak (When I hold it, I can feel ipad back metal cover is a little bit harder and stiff)

I drop it from 5cm high and the bottom left hit the table

the bottom left (audio jack) just deform a little and the screen pop out.

Also, it is not stable and reboot and freeze. the I/O issue is still not completely fixed.

I returned it and hope they can give me a fine one

I just hope ASUS can improve its production line of TF700 and at least avoid screen loosen problem if they can

I really like TF700 because it is the only high-end Andriod FHD tablet with awesome keyboard dock available on the market

I don't want shamesung plastic low ppi **** or Acer heater tablet.

I don't wanna wait for the Surface Pro to come out

I am a PT student and I need a tablet to read textbook (we use camera to copy the entire textbook so we can read it on tablet and save lots of money)

I would be happy to do some mass quality control email thing. Its just ridiculous how we spend so much and get things we expected, only crap.
[Asus Transformer TF700] CandyAndy:
Yeah I am quite pissed too. This was actually the first electronic device I have ever had to return. And I have got quite a lot of stuff. First time went for Asus and this happened.

Too bad that the company I bought it had only 7 days return policy. LOL. Now my tablet went to Asus service to other side of the earth. I really wish they give me new one and not try to fix dead pixels, loose glass, light bleeding and all other problems.

Still not so cool owning expensive tablet for 2 weeks and then loose it for service center for minimum 3 weeks. But this not only Asus to blame, also this one shop in Finland just got to my black list.
[Asus Transformer TF700] waltnich:
Thumbs Down on a Dumb idea

Tens of thousands have shipped.

Extremely few quality issues and they appear to be resolved by replacement.

There are always gripers - don't expose your weaknesses with a mass mailing.

U need a cause? It's election year in the US.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
Just remember, ASUS is a fairly large corporation. With every email you send, Mr. Shen gets more and more material to laugh at.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mdemons12:
I am sorry to disagree but, when you have 3 take let's with that same problem, then the company has a massive problem with quality control
[Asus Transformer TF700] ImYoungxD:
If you don't like it, return it. I don't know why you're even bothering emailing a company with your problems. They will just say RMA or hard reset just to delay you from returning it from the store and you can't return it after the return policy is over.
[Asus Transformer TF700] CandyAndy:
I have to disagree with you.

I have tried them all, Apple, Samsung, HTC, Nokia, Sony, you name it. First time I have seen this much complaint about quality and my unit also went back.

There is serious issue with Asus QC. Their product would be the best Android tablet available IF they just would make them as they should be.

I would guess getting quite expensive for Asus too to send new ones. I am guessing return % something like 30% with their products..just a wild guess!
[Asus Transformer TF700] mdemons12:
I can't because I unlocked it before the problem actually arose, and to add to the problem, it was a US import
[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
If your thinking of doing that email post then do it. You don't need the permission from the viewers here. You will feel a bit vindicated by standing up for what you feel. Just be aware your desired result probably won't happen and they may delete your post. You would be better off taking your time to put a short polite email about your specific issues and emailing Gary or Tien. Look at the stickies in the prime forum for their info.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
I'm thinking

ASUS is just one of many companies passing expensive products of dubious quality to consumers.

Somebody write the "How Its Made" show and ask 'em to do one on tablets from ASUS.

Maybe we could catch them in the act.

:confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
I think that's a super-wild guess. Same thing occurred with the Nexus 7 forums. You would think that like 70% were bad! Now they are everyones' favorite tablet!

When SGS series phones were getting bricked by the dozens (hundreds, probably) due to very faultly emmc firmware that Samsung never fixed, you would also think it was the end of the world. But out of millions sold, whats a few hundred superbricks?

Anyway, everyone who has had severe-enough issues to have to return their TF700 gets my full sympathy. It sucks, plain and simple. But I'll bet they represent a very small percentage of the units sold to date.
[Asus Transformer TF700] polish_pat:
I dont have any QC problems, after a month of usage, i dont have any clicks or other defects nor do i have light bleeding, but i do feel bad for all of you because i would have been as pissed as all of you if it would have happened to me. I will sign any petition or email.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
Nexus 7 can't be compared to Infinity when we speak about sold units, it's a Google brand and costs only 200$ so i'm sure it sold much more than Infinity. The Infinity will never sell as much as Nexus so in this case if you compare the numbers Infinity's quality issues are quiet serious imo.

Also i guess that people complain more when they paid 600 $ for a device compared with those that paid only 200.Anyway nobody stop you guys from sending a petition to Asus but imo you shouldn't expect too much from that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
Re: the Nexus 7, most of the people complaining were folks coming over from Kindle Fires iirc. I don't think it mattered to them that they had only spent $200-250.

Just got my Infinity CG from BB after waiting a few months.

While its the sexiest Android Tablet or IMHO sexiest tablet of them all to date.. mine is plagued by light bleeding, dust and/or dead pixels under the screen, the glass gives around the edges and causes cracking/creaking noises.

Also, for a new un-opened box item, I was surprised to see my shiny gold back come from the factory with a few scratches and small indentations across the back and side of the unit.

I'll play with it a little more until it goes back as a return.

I can't imagine all the refurb deals that will be created from these Infinity Tabs...

Saddened. :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] Underwater Mike:
I may try again in a couple months if it looks like QC is up and no worthy competitor is on the immediate horizon. But after waiting since last winter to get this thing, seeing the crappy production values is like a kick in the nads.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drherron:
Crap. this is one of the reasons I was enjoying the TF700 section over TF201. Always 8itching on the internet and taking no action, return the ones with problems and get the one you want. Are any of the people complaining out of their return window? There are options for you as well that may be a little more work than complaining but still result in a warm fuzzy feeling about your new tablet eventually.

Maybe I'll go back to BB and get a TF300 and see if their immune to this.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Underwater Mike:
Point is, buying a $500 computing device shouldn't be a crapshoot. Can you imagine people buying Dell laptops -- many of which are a LOT cheaper than this tab -- and returning them because of such basic manufacturing flaws?

Dunno about you, but I have a demanding job, kids, social life, etc. When I buy a product like this, I expect it to be 100% out of the box. I don't have time to play QC roulette because Asus isn't giving its best effort.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
Hahaha, buying dell laptops. I actually smiled.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rlarson)mn:
I have a TF700T and it has zero issues. It has been stated more than once on this forum as well as other forums that customers that do not have issues with their product generally do not comment on that fact where as customers that do have issues will visit every forum that the device they have is listed and voice their issue. I have had a TF101, TF201 and now the TF700T. I have had a single issue with all of these units which was the lack of functioning GPS radio on the TF201 (not that I would ever use it). Other than that single issues all of the units have exceeded my expectation. Every manufacturer produces lemons no matter where they are in the world. The best manufactures recognize this fact by gladly exchanging the defected unit, repairing it or giving you your money back.
[Asus Transformer TF700] imapirate:
Right, I am in my 30 day Warranty zone. I returned/exchanged my tab that I posted about im my previous reply. Opened this one up in the store, this one had even worse light bleed and 7 dead pixels on the screen (When viewing white backgrounds) there was only one scratch but no dents on the back of the device. The screen also gave and creaked around the speaker and camera.

Manager came out and opened up a 3rd 32GB CG tab to see if it had any of the same problems...

The third one had the same light bleeding, this time it was in the center of the screen (A white strip about 2 inches in width). Also while it had no visible scratches on the back there was a dent in the lower right curve of the device as if someone dropped it in the factory. The screen creaked and clicked around the same spots, speaker but not as bad in the camera area. There was also only 3 visible dead pixels or dust underneath the screen.

The Manager advised me to stick with one of the three that had been opened but that he simply cant just open all inventory to find a 'Flawless One' (Which I completely understand).

We both agreed these inherent flaws are unacceptable, especially for the price range of $500.

I didn't want to get an iPad but will end up going that route, and I'll wait till next year to see is Asus remedies any of these flaws with their QC issues. I just wish this damn thing lived up to all the hype i've been waiting for.

I say we start a poll to see how many have returned our Infinity Tab's or how many tries it took to get a 'Flawless' one.

:good: Agree with you 100% It seems like buying this device is a total crapshoot, and the odds are not in my favour.
[Asus Transformer TF700] x51:
My tablet seemed physically fine. No creaking scratches dead pixels or anything. It was just really really slow and choppy. WAY inferior user experience than my aging Acer Iconia a500.

After some troubleshooting I found that my I/O performance on any benchmark tests were roughly 25% of the common TF700 results posted in these forums. A hard reset yielded the same results. While people complained already about poor I/O on these tablets, It seems mine was (more) defective.

Asus support was 0 help.

I sent it back to Amazon for credit. I'm worried if I get another it may have issues also. This really is the best tablet option out there though..

Anyone know if Amazon lets you return things multiple times?

(Also the screws on the bottom of the keyboard dock were tightened so much the metal was actually dented. This is not the case on my friends dock.)
[Asus Transformer TF700] imapirate:
Odd, I had an Acer Iconia a500 prior to the Infinity. The a500 felt buttery smooth and less choppy than the Infinity (Even after multiple cold resets/boots)

Havent ran any performance tests on either of the 3 Infinity Tab's ive gone through. I just assumed they would all be calibrated to their optimum speed and specs internally from the factory? If I understand correct, there are external (Physical) Design/QC Flaws, but also internal hardware issues that do not let these tabs perform optimally. Interesting.

Amazon let's you return/exchange up to 3 times according to another members experience on this forum.

Hope that helps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Underwater Mike:
Glad you're amused. :rolleyes:

The point is that most people buy computing devices to DO stuff, not run benchies. And, when you buy any mass-produced electronic device, you expect the quality to be uniform, not so highly variable. They're commodities, not works of art.

You can say, as some have, that XDA attracts a more finicky buyer, and that QC issues are not so widespread. I'd counter by saying that less technically inclined users won't even fart around with trying multiple exchanges. They'll just take it back for a refund or bail completely to another device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
"DO stuff"

"not run benchies"

Jesus christ, how horrifying.
