Not possible to root stock jb as of now without unlocking.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgorman:
You can downgrade to .30, root, and then upgrade to JB
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RenderOne:
I apologize in advance for the noob question, figured this is prob the best thread to ask...

Im locked, stock, and (two smoking) JB... (sorry for the bad movie joke)...

i was reading the "noobproof upgrade to JB, recovery +root" thread and im having trouble understanding it completely. do i have to go to the Asus site and unlock my bootloader first? and from there, where it says to DL the files, do i DL them to the tablet? because this is confusing me:

2) Extract the recovery with fastboot files zip and open a command prompt in the same folder of the adb and fastboot files (Shift + Right mouse)

3) Reboot into the bootloader of your tablet, type: adb reboot bootloader

"open a command prompt in the same folder of the adb and fastboot files (Shift + Right mouse)" am i doing this on the tablet? if so, how do i open the command prompt? shift+right click doesnt sound like something i can do on the tablet, is it? and once i open it, i just type in the "adb reboot bootloader" ?

again, sorry for the noob Qs, this is all alot easier on my phone :p
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tritran18518:
i don't really know how to root but for unlock bootloader , you just simply go to asus website(as you said) and download Asus unlock bootloader application . This is .apk file so you can directly download by using your tf300, then install that application. open it and following its instruction.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skr_xd:
Download the attached and copy to your device storage. Install it like any application. Open it and follow its instructions and let the device reboot itself to unlock automatically.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snappjay:
Here is my situation where I work. I have zero bars (tried Straight Talk, AT&T postpaid, and Tmo prepaid) where I work... BUT I can pick up a open wifi across the street, but it is such a weak signal that I constantly have to pick my phone up, wave it in the air until I pick up the signal again.

Is there any way to boost the wifi power on the Gnex so I can get a better lock? I'm willing to do just about anything to get a signal at my desk (root, hack, etc)

Thanks! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
I could be wrong but on an unrooted phone, no there is no way. With a rooted phone, running Franco's kernel yes, you could boost wifi. Will it pick up that weak network nearby, not so sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snappjay:
Thanks for the info! I will do the research on Franco and report back once I get it loaded up.

att has the htc one x for $20 as a refurb and a 2 year contract. i was going to get a new one for 100 but do you think i should save the 80 and get the refurb? any good or bad things about going refurb?

www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/htc/one-x-gray-refurb.html?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I've heard a lot of nightmare stories about the refurbs. Not sure if they were all "purchased" refurbs, or warranty replacements, or if there is even a difference. But people have gotten pretty beat up refurbs for other devices. Plus, if its a refurb, it was returned for a reason. And they don't always fix everything that was wrong with it.

Plus, the warranty for a new phone is 1-year (brand new phone within 30 days, refurb or repair thereafter). I think the warranty for refurbs is only 90 days.

Everyone has a different budget, and different expectations. But for me, I'd spend the extra 80 bucks and get a brand new phone. Think I've read an article somewhere that says something to the effect of "don't buy refurbed electronics". But you can probably also find an article that says the exact opposite. Its all a matter of perspective. But IMO, its not worth it to get a refurb.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Mal'akh:
I'm a student and i don't think that 20 $ / 20 € is that much. The One X is a super nice mobile phone and i i would not have it, i would try to get one for 20$/€.

BUT I'm not sure bout that refurb thing.. If i also have bit more money i would by it elsewhere for 100 or more.. really nice mobile phone :p

just my2cents :o
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Lol, theres probably about a 50% chance your going to get a xda members device that had a international rom flashed to it the day it was purchased.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
Rerurbs for me have been really hit or miss, and like what was already said, I don't think they are covered for a full year.

Also, somebody the other day said the manufacturer reurbs were SIM locked, so if you ever plan on leaving AT&T with your One X you may want to consider that.

It's your money and your purchase, but personally I would spend the extra $80.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] spiritcrusher33:
Just got my refurb yest. looks brand new not a single scratch on it.. but it is hit or miss. not to worried as I still have my galaxy nexus also..plus if push comes to shove i could still the sell the X for 250 or more and get something else. but so far im loving the X.. ( stock ). so no complaints here bout a refurb

[Galaxy S I9000 General] securedigital:
Dear friends,

It's been a while since my last post, but i'm back here again

Recently I've acquired a Samsung Galaxy Advance (i9070) and as usual, I flashed the custom cellphone provider software/ROM, loaded the latest Samsung ROM (no yet custom rooms, gotta wait), next phone rooted, later phone unlocked and finally install all my apps and stuff.

I did it too fast, because before all this stuff I missed to check whether de microSD card was working properly. Well, it is not working and I'm guessing it's a hardware issue (not sure).

It does not recognize any microSDcard, even I've tried fellas card's, none worked.

I accessed to a root console, typed 'dmesg' and this message appears (around 30 occurrences) when inserting/removing the card:

mmc2: [MMC] CMD TIMEOUT STATUS: 4, CMD: 52

Any ideas?

All the best!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fusiongalaxy:
Got this to work using the above instructions however after I snap a picture and then click on the preview it takes me back to where the internal sd card pics were saved. I have it set to save to sd card and if I back out of the camera app and then go into the gallery app the picture is there and saved on the external card. May just be a bug Ill have to live with but works great otherwise!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbveb88:
Yeah its a bug. If you store the pics on the internal card you can view while in camera mode. If you choose external card then you have to back out and view pics through the gallery. A small price to pay for such a great camera:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fusiongalaxy:
Ok that's what I figured. I use my camera to take pictures of fish I catch while on my kayak. I upload them to a site called kayakwars as a contest and for whatever reason when they are stored on internal sd it has issues on the site uploading them. External sd works fine though so thats why its important to me. :)

Hey Guys

the only reason i want to root is market enabler

cuz my countries market sucks and i want the american one

root is no problem for me i have already rooted all my old phones and friends phones

but i dont see it necessary now and i like touchwiz so no roms interest me

So please please is there anyway you can tell to have market enabler without root or anyway to have the american market ( PS:i have aptoide and 1 mobile im only interested in google play american merket )​
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunglebp:
Easiset way would be to Root your phone and get Market Enabler you wont lose touchwiz when rooted :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

Market Enabler without root: not possible.

So you need root, but root don't mean change rom, kernel, launcher or anything else it just gives you root acess after that it's just you who decides what to do, so in your case just use Market Enabler... And you keep everything else "stock" (but with root access :D).

You do not have to change anything if you do not want it. The root is just the opportunity and permission to access the file system by yourself or by an app that needs it (in short).

:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbaban:
thanks for reply , i know root wont change anything but still i have that new phone feeling that i dont want to root , beside if i root can i still update from samsungs OTA

Man i know root i already ported a rom ! My question is clear . I just don't wanna root yet
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hummmm....

So it's simple:

NO.

For this, for an "American market" like you said I don't really know but there is a "general" market and official (I mean not a regional market in term of a besides app) it's just your country that is detected (build.prop), the only way to change this is... with root access...

No root=no way to modifie anything related to country detection by the Play Store.

If you don't want to root... Don't root! But don't complain about Market Enabler or a way to modifie the detection of the build.prop that the Play Store uses and block some apps for you, you need root!!!

:)

EDIT: I ve you tried Appbrain (http://www.appbrain.com/) or AndroidPit (http://www.androidpit.com/) for example as an alternative? both have their own app... Maybe no restrictions :confused:

I have unlocked the bootloader, however when I am trying to install cwm recovery image it keeps on saying error cannot load. Can anyone help with this? thank you
[HTC EVO 3D] beneath-a-burning-turtle:
When you're S-ON, flashing recoveries has to be done from the cmd on your computer.

To do this:

1. Download the adb and fastboot drivers from HTCDev.com (underneath the unlock bootloader section)

2. Place the recovery you wanna flash in the same directory as fastboot and adb and rename it recovery.img

3. Open the cmd, and navigate to your fastboot directory (cd c:\[wherever fastboot is located]

4. Boot into bootloader on your phone, click on fastboot, and plug it into your computer

5. Type in the following command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

6. Once it finishes: fastboot boot recovery.img

7. Now you're in recovery

**note: until you decide to go s-off, you need to repeat steps 3-6 to get into recovery**
[HTC EVO 3D] newmz89:
thats where i am having problems, i do that and then, this message appears

"C:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

error: cannot load 'recovery.img'"
[HTC EVO 3D] beneath-a-burning-turtle:
Is it named recovery.img and is it on the fastboot directory?

Also I would recommend using 4EXT or TWRP instead of clockworkmod

Sent from my EVO 3DMA with a little "Common Sense"
[HTC EVO 3D] newmz89:
Yeah its in the same directory as the fastboot file, I'll try the 4ext for now and get back to you.

thanks for your help!

Note: I am not the developer of this app nor am I affiliated to this app in any way! It's just that I was awestruck after using this app, and thus couldn't help but share it with you guys. (:

Ever wondered Music runs without touch of ur finger??

Now it will!!

Intuitive music player, with sensors (proximity, accelerometer..) as controls.

This app allow you (mainly) to skip songs without using your fingers nor the screen, depending on the situation.

5 easy-to-access modes are available :

- Fly over : Pass your hand in front of your device (5cm max) to play/skip current song. Hold it 0.5s to pause. The proximity sensor we use is generally located around the device front speaker.

- Pocket : Lock the device, put in your pocket, slap it (pretty hard) to skip current track.

- Hammer : Put the device on a surface like a table, hit the table to skip current song. WARNING: using the device loudspeaker can produce enough vibration to fire the action !

- Sensors disabled : Sensors are disabled, you can only use buttons to control the player.

- Custom : In case you feel the need to use different sensor settings. Set wich sensors you want to enable, set sensitivty and your own action for each sensor events !

Tested on our SG3. Working like a charm!

Thanks for sharing..you can also try "wave control" app from market which works the same way but in that you can choose the audio player to do the same..:)

Here is the link..

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.MarksThinkTank.WaveControl
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] h4r5h:
^Yeah. But still IMO I feel this app is a l'il better than wave control mainly because of the following reasons:

1. Not all the features are available in the free version, thus one is forced to purchase the paid one in order to gain access to all the features. That's not the case in SMP.

2. One needs to go through the hassle of manually configuring the music player with the music player. Thus +1 to SMP on that aspect as well.

3. It's got many more modes besides wave over, like hammer mode, pocket mode or you can even make your own custom mode using the sensors! (w00t!)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] stingwraith:
changes audio?!?

my phones audio drivers are currently messed to high hell... but just wanted to ask why this app somewhat fixes that? I have no bass and then when I switch to pocket or hammer mode it sounds way more kick ass... what gives?

hi,

i started this thread because I'm noob on XDA and i'm not allowed to post on development threads.

I had an intersting issue yesterday with my 'kaiten mail'. I switched saturday evening from CM9 (build 20120809) to CM10 (build 20120811). both roms are awsome especially the CM10 works very good (exept of flash player :crying:) as you see on the screenshots I posted down below kaiten mail downloaded about 1,39GB on wlan and about 300MB on mobile data. I dont know why but after delete and reinstall kaiten the problem was solved.

so this thread is just a warning and to notice you people!!
[HTC One S] frdd:
What is Kaiten Mail, is it a POP3 mail client? Also check out the 20120815 CM10 build, camera is fixed so battery will be much better among other things. Beware of Kaiten mail if wiping user data when upgrading ;)
[HTC One S] GuestK00399:
hey i was false, i already got the 20120815 CM10 build. I be honest, one of my best friends is always doing my upgrades, so i don't know exactly if he did so or not ;) but anyway thanks for your proposal!!! kaiten mail is a pop3 mail client! For me it's the only mail program for android which is really good to work with. What mail program do you use?
[HTC One S] frdd:
Only gmail for me so no idea mate. The reason it didnt use a lot of data after reinstall could be that you might have 1.3 GB of emails on your sdcard, maybe in data folder, so didnt have to get it all again from the server. So still be careful after each reinstall and especially if formatting sdcard:)
[HTC One S] GuestK00399:
i tryed gmail before i found out kaiten. wasn't satisfy with it.

but anyway thanks for the tip and for your replies! I hope after the whole samsung apple trial the work of all the XDA developer especially the cyanogen mates will still go further. love them for their efforts :good:

I did search for my problem followed many of the steps and still clueless

Summary: I got my htc amaze around 5 days ago from craigslist phone looked great almost in perfect shape, I did notice that the battery was going down to quickly so I did a factory reset, battery seemed a little better.

I did the following:

-factory reset (somewhat better)

-charged battery to 100% then went to 4EXT and wipe dalvik cache + cache and wipe battery stats (just did this)

phone seemed better yesterday when I did the wipe but it was 100% before I went to sleep and in the morning it was at 91%, and when I used it for 5m it began to drop to almost 80%

here is a pic of my battery status overnight with the 5m of wifi I used right now
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
I bet you have an Anker battery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] juanperez1:
I don't stock battery
[HTC Amaze 4G] brainbone:
Call HTC (866-449-8358). You'll need to give them the phone's serial number (Settings->About Phone->Phone Identity->Device serial number). Tell them your phone is randomly shutting off and that you get a battery error notification after charging and turning it back on (even if this isn't happening to you, it likely will soon).

They should offer to send you a new battery, if not, steer the conversation that way. When asked, tell them that you have indeed factory reset the phone, etc. Of course, don't tell them anything about wiping battery stats, or that you are running a custom ROM, or are rooted, if you are, and don't tell them that the phone is used (the warranty only applies to the first owner -- so hopefully they didn't call HTC as well). You'll need a credit card for ~$40 authorization, and you'll need to pay shipping of your old battery back after you receive the new battery. You'll not be charged $40 if you return your old battery.

Sending the old battery back seems to be a new thing for HTC. The first 2 batteries I replaced through them didn't require me to send the old one back, or have a $40 authorization. #3 and #4 did.

I have not had good luck with Anker batteries in my Amaze. They hold a great charge at first, but then die far more quickly than the OEM batteries from HTC, to the point of holding no charge at all.
[HTC Amaze 4G] juanperez1:
I want to know first if its not something that is causing this, because even if I get a new battery and it continues to do this than that means the battery is just going to "help" me but not fix the problem
[HTC Amaze 4G] brainbone:
If you've factory reset, your phone is stock (not rooted), and you're running the official ICS delivered over the air (OTA), then you are likely experiencing "normal" Amaze battery draw. With a weak battery, it is just more apparent.

I would start by replacing the battery. If you still see the problem after that, then it's time to look elsewhere. That elsewhere may be a call back to HTC.

If your Amaze is under warranty, but not purchased from T-Mobile, HTC is the best place to resolve these issues. Reporting the battery problem to HTC is a good way to check the warranty status of your phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] juanperez1:
well I just checked an its an official ICS rom but its rooted since I rooted it myself, good call since I did buy if off craigslist Ill see if its under warranty which Im pretty sure guy said he bought it in February so lets hope and I get a a new battery
[HTC Amaze 4G] howhi50:
Having the same issue. Was on stock ics after receiving a refurb from T-Mobile since my original amaze camera burnt out. Replacement was doing great until a couple weeks ago after having it for a few months.I had a feeling it was the battery. Seems to be a common problem based on people I know who also have an amaze. Yet I'm still a fan of HTC... I just like this phone too much right now. I probably won't even get it fixed. I just turn my phone right back on after it randomly shuts off or charge it up whenever the battery decides to drop %5 while quickly checking the weather smh.
[HTC Amaze 4G] juanperez1:
exactly like mine I already ordered a new battery and back cover ill see if it gets better I also flashed the energy rom and seems to be better but not quite good
