[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
As this thread has been brought back, I will add the facts about mainver.

It is correct that "mainver" or misc_version are only used for HTC's OTA or full RUU updates. It's only used to version check to prevent downgrading the ROM. But this doesn't bypass the hboot version check, this is a separate check done by the radiobootloader.

All you need is temp root to change it though. On the EVO 3D, the mainver variable lives in the "last" emmc partition of the device, which HTC refers to as "misc", partition numbers are as follows:

CDMA GB(or lower) ROM = 34

CDMA ICS(or higher) ROM = 35

GSM GB(or lower) ROM = 31

GSM ICS(or higher) ROM = 32

It seems that HTC changed the partition structure when moving to ICS, I haven't looked into what was added extra, but that's not relevant to this post.

The mainver itself is located at hex address 0xA0 or Offset 160 of that misc partition. It's stored in plain text, and as I said, all you need is temp root to write to the partition, it's not one of the partitions protected by the radio S-ON. But, and this is purely informational, it is protected by the hboot(fastboot) S-ON. What that means is that even if you're S-OFF(radio) but you're still on a stock hboot (1.40.0000, 1.50.0000, 1.58.0000, etc) the fastboot command to flash to misc (or any partition, for that matter) will not work, you'll get permission denied. You'll need to flash an unlocked hboot still (S-OFF hboot) like ENG, Revolutionary, jbear or any of those hboots, and you can then use the fastboot command to write to it.

Hope this information helps explain it better.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
The setmainverlow.zip from the OP of this thread has been used by a number of Virgin Mobile users successfully who have taken the OTA update from November, which upgrades the mainver but not the hboot version, when rooted but still on the stock hboot. That would seem to contradict the need to have hboot S-OFF in order to update the mainver in the misc partition.

This post has the procedure they used to downgrade mainver and flash the RUU.exe with a lower mainver than the OTA.

To confirm this, I just installed the stock 1.50 hboot and then flashed the setmainverlow.zip file from recovery and the mainver was changed to 1.00.000.0.

[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
I was just saying that you couldn't do it from the fastboot command (fastboot flash misc_version misc_version.img) while still hboot S-ON, regardless of Radio security status.

hboot S-ON can't block any flashes from recovery, only radio S-ON can block flashes past the hboot screen, hboot S-ON only applies to fastboot and hboot commands.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
OK. I missed the part about about fastboot only.

Interesting that the stock bootloader (hboot S-ON) protects that partition from fastboot commands but S-ON radio security does not protect it from being flashed in recovery, as that seems to be a contradiction in policy.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
Well the radio protects partitions directly. The hboot doesn't protect partitions directly, it protects commands, some of which can alter those partitions. (or subpartitions, such as rfg partitions) but of course without the radio to agree, it won't allow certain partitions such as hboot. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] acidburn2k2:
I just purchased a brand new Prime and am having problems with flash not working. It is still completely stock, have not rooted or anything yet.

I have tried 3 different browsers (chrome, dolphin, and stock browser) and flash works in none of the three. When i go to Adobe's flash checker I do not see the video that needs to be seen, it's just a grey box. I made sure all the updates are installed through the play store. It is version 11.1.115.17 right now.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
did you try a reboot after the software install? I know you shouldnt have to but it never hurts.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] acidburn2k2:
Yes, I uninstalled Flash, rebooted, re-installed flash, rebooted, updated flash in market, rebooted. I made sure in the browsers that javascript etc is enabled
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] acidburn2k2:
Does anybody have any other ideas??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ratman6161:
No, though I do notice you mentioned trying it in Chrome. Flash is not supported in Chrome on Android. So even if you get it to work it will work in Dolphin or the stock browser but not Chrome. And in 4.1 Chrome replaces the stock browser so if you want flash I'd forget about the other two and concentrate on making it work with Dolphin.

So Update, I just opened my Tablet, and there was an update for Dolphin, I proceeded with the update and it seems that flash is working now on that browser, atleast on the site that I needed it most, my college class site, more tests will be ran :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cheetara:
I've been trying to put my phone back to its factory condition in an attempt to pin point a problem but what i've noticed is that nothing really truly reverts it back to that state.

I got the stock ATT Gingerbread file listed in another thread and tried to odin back to stock but when i browse through the file structure there are still old folders from previous applications as well as all my mp3s are still in a folder i created called "Muzika" and a bunch other crap... so its not truly doing a format of my phone.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way that completely formats the note and reverts it to factory state, maybe a thread or some info that i've missed along the way.

How is anyone able to play games? I can't get the wifi to stay on long enough to complete a download :(

JT
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xshawk:
while many would love to help you fix your wifi issue, you need to provide more details than "wifi won't stay on"

assuming that you are on the latest version of chrmhoffmann's CM10 (per the thread title)

what is the environment and what are the symptoms?

is this your home wifi router?

how far away is the router?

is it secure?

are you getting interference from another router or transmitter, clutter on the channel?

what have you tried so far, have you re-flashed the ROM?

give us a little to go on and maybe we can help

:fingers-crossed:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Rebeljt:
So sorry. After I left the post I was thinking maybe it wasn't the right place.

To answer your questions...

I could be anywhere in my house. Signal could be very strong of very weak. The router is about 3-4 rooms away in a basement. I never had these issues with CM7. My router is secure WPA I believe. I'd have to double check. I'm not sure about any interference... But I can try to figure that out. (But never had issues with CM7)

Most of the game titles I have tried so far come from gameloft. Order and Chaos, Nova 2, Nova 3. I watch the numbers count up and they go very quickly say 30-40 mb in a few seconds then very very long pauses.Then another 30-40 mb in few seconds and then another very long pause and then after a while longer the wifi connection is lost. I go back to the main screen to find my wifi has actually turned itself off. Short downloads seem to be ok. Larger downloads are not. This has also happened to me if I surf on the unit for a very long time.

If this isnt the right place I apologize. I can't seem to to find a place where I'm allowed to post yet..

Thanks,

JT
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Arch.Monad:
Problematic games are a little less problematic :)

Greetings. Since the introduction of CM9, I've found that many games and applications weren't handling touch events correctly and consequently, caused games - like gta3, shadowgun, and battleheart - to crash, hang, or not display ui elements correctly. This was very depressing indeed and I'd often stare down at my nook tablet regretting my purchase. I honestly felt Gingerbread simply didn't belong on a tablet and the stock BN Rom felt very antiquated for my tastes. I was stuck, or at least I felt that way. CM9 - now I'm using CM10 - was nice, but none of my favorite applications would operate the way you'd expect.

However, thanks to some very diligent gentlemen over in this thread , games and apps that once behaved awkwardly with regards to touch events are now working fine! I somewhat feel inclined to include a "games that are now working" list, but honestly, everything I've thrown at the nook tablet since updating its firmware and patching the fixed kernel driver, has worked wonderfully well. GTA 3, Raymans jungle run, GLWG, Battleheart, deadspace; old or new, many problematic apps are responding to touch events now, and nook tablet owners should really give CM10 a go. I even tried a few lesser known games that would hang due to mishandled touch events and they now work, too. The nook tablet is looking really sexy now, folks :laugh:

tl;dr

mik_os updated our touch panels kernel driver to support a firmware that enables concurrent 5-finger touch. I think he also "sexied" up the touch handling, which resulted in some applications working better - with regards to touch events - than they did before.

Also, once you upgrade your touch panel to this new firmware, there's no going back! You're stuck with CM9/CM10, but I honestly don't think that's a problem :cool:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kuzma30:
Not correct. You can flash stock firmware for touchscreen, thus revert is possible :)

Hi guys,

Yesterday bought a USB-OTG adapter cable for my P3100 and it has been working flawlessly.

I tried these

4, 8, 16GB Pendrives

Mouse

Keyboard

Mouse+Keyboard together through splitter

I am quite happy with all the setup right now but has a little worry. The adapter is slightly tight when plugging(pushing) it in then Samsung cable(although I could not find any difference at all between both 30-pin connectors. They are absolutely alike.) Should I worry ? Plz advise !

Thanks :)

This is how it looks like...
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ronni.rasmussen:
Can you charge using that cable?

I bought an OTG cable myself today but i'm about to split it apart to see if there is anything(one way) inside which prevent me from charging with this.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] silentvisitor:
Charging is blocked by kernel/framework and not by cable. My tab charges fine on CM10 via my laptop :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ronni.rasmussen:
Using that OTC cable? I'm using CM10 my self, but no usb charging with the OTG cable. I looked a bit on the kernel source and otg does prevent incoming power the the vbus, but not sure if that happens as soon as the otg cable in connected or when a device requiring host is connected.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] zerozero700:
I got a similar OTG cable from ebay (shipped from Hong Kong) for my P3100. It is also slightly tight compared to the original data /charging cable came along with the device. I think it should not be a problem, unless you need to push it with lot of force. I need to push it little harder than the original cable.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Alvin Lai:
I would say tighter better. I have mine quite loose. And always disconnected
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] islandremix:
I have the same cable. My dock connector got stuck in the tablet. Had to use tweezers to pull it out. Afterwards I super glued it back together and it holds. Still a tight fit though.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Ottonet:
Tight connector

I've had some experiences with Samsung connectors, and -in my opinion- they all fit very tightly when new. They tend to get looser over the time. Just try not to force it in the soket; at the beginning a little care is needed, you will see that by getting used to plug and unplug it when tight and by the natural wear that occurs in the components, the odd sensation of tightness will go away.

Clear and safe temporary rooting?

I have no need for custom ROMs etc, just want to make complete backup, perhaps remove some apps and for curiosity try to run some game data analyzers. Can I do this with temporary rooting and is there some clear and safe howto for the S3 (currently seems to have JB 4.1.2) ?

What I want is to temp-root the phone, do some magic and then after restart use the original rom without root.

(Little OT, but if I do a permanent root and then unroot the phone, will I lose some data? They talk about "wipeout" and it sounds like a permanent lose of data.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Ari
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
There is no such thing as "temporary root". You either have it, or you don't. You have the option (through root access) to remove root when you are finished with it.

You will not lose any data. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

I didn't answer the how to question because the answers are in the stickies.

I've modified my Poetic Hardback case to work with my TF700's keyboard dock. Basically, I cut the screen protection part of the case off so that it only covers the back of the tablet and its corners.

Link to product on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Protec...8&qid=1346535381&sr=1-1&keywords=tf700+poetic

I cut the screen protection half of the case off and relieved the material on the case's back that interfered with the keyboard's mounting area.

Here I cut the screen overlapping fingers a bit so the tablet would close all the way.

You can still use the hinge mechanism of the case as a kickstand (kind of like the Microsoft Surface kickstand : ) )
