[Motorola Droid 4] tcrews:
The Droid 4 runs ICS excellently so if there are issues like you reported the best option (and first option before installing ROMs) is to Factory Data Reset the device, let it boot up a "clean" ICS system and then configure it and re-download all your apps.

The phone was running Android 2.3.6 and updated in-place with all the configurations and setups to Android 4.0.4. It needs a good cleaning.

The phone is smooth, fast, zero crashes and runs so much better on ICS than it did on Gingerbread....if you are having problems after getting the in-place update....Factory Data Reset and see if that resolves the problems. Then you can start looking at other ROMs.

Is this a ROM or an actual update?

If its an update you got in notifications, I'd call the carrier/manufactor.

If it's a rom, it could be a bug in the rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] noobletsausecakebbq:
Hello, I have experience with Android phones, but not with samsung phones in particular. The amount of different Galaxy SII models is overwhelming.

Anyway...

My dad just got this phone from Bell(in Canada) The box says Galaxy SII HD LTE. Its the one with 4 buttons, 4.65 HD screen. Specs are as follows:

LTE:700/AWS

HSPA+ 21Mbps Triband(850/900/2100MHz)

EDGE/GPRS/GSM:(850/900/1800/1900MHz)

I want to root it and load a nice quick ROM on it for my dad.

I want to know if its safe to use ROMS and other tools from this forum or is it a very different phone from the I777?

I had rooted my n7 with wug's toolkit 1.5.3 without flashing the CWM Recovery

everything works fine, i can find my superuser, but when I follow the guides here and installed market unlocker and droidvpn

I can access US play store, but I still can't use any of the Books, Magazine, Movie apps

when I go to the app page, the place where update button or install button are blank

should I re root my N7

or anything wrong in my root process?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiDiANx360:
I'm from germany, and i have a galaxy nexus. The ROM i have includes Magazines+ Movies but they are not in the app-drawer. There was an update recentely for these apps and i got the same effect as you (no update button or any other button in the market). That happened because the apps are frozen (meaning they are there, but don't show up anywhere). Once i unfreeze them with Titanium Backup, those buttons in the store appear. Maybe this is also what is causing the buttons to not show up on your device.

What if you don't copy the rom zip to the sd card prior to flashing the new Kernel? do I still need to copy google apps?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Emperor.dk:
I'm not sure if stock ROM will start up on nAa14 kernel. And then it's gonna be difficult to copy the ROM to the SD-card.

Google apps: If market is not included in the ROM (let it start up and wait and see), it not that usefull for dayli use.

Hey guys, since I move from my EVO 3D to the Epic there is one thing I missed and that is TWRP and 4EXT recovery, so since TWRP development is dead why does someone try and port this Recovey to our Epic. In my personal opinion CWM is pretty slow compared to TWRP and 4EXT so thats is one of the main reasons.

[Motorola Droid 4] golftdi140:
thanks. i will have to do all this thursday when i dont have to go to work in 5 hours. 1 question so far. when i do these steps will it erase everything on my sd card or just my apps and stuff on the internal storage.
[Motorola Droid 4] golftdi140:
and if i do the factory reset cant i just update to 219 and then ics via ota updates?
[Motorola Droid 4] silver6054:
Factory reset doesn't undo any changes to the system that you might have done as root, so if the update fails now, it probably still fails after reset. This gets you to ICS without that concern.

Re SD card, it's not overwritten by this process. But to be extra sure, you can always remove it first.
[Motorola Droid 4] tobby88:
Internal mass storage and SD-card stay untouched but your system, all your apps and your configurations will be like the phone is new.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] crabnebula:
I followed the translated instructions and am now running CM10 on my 16GB ROW. It's fantastic -- like having a new device.

The instructions are pretty simple to follow. I had one problem though.

To use nvflash, you need to start the tablet by holding down the rotation lock button and then install the provided driver in Windows. This works well. However, after performing a flash, Windows would no longer recognize it if you power it on while holding the rotation lock button. To gain access to the special recovery mode again, I had to uninstall the device and driver in Windows Device Manager, and the reinstall again when prompted.

Because the whole procedure requires multiple flashes with nvflash, I had to perform this uninstall-reinstall process several times.

Other than that, it worked perfectly well.

Hope this helps if anyone encounters the same issue.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] dsw1ft:
Does this mean we have the key for nvflash?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] shrinex:
My question in regards to this is can we build a flashable rom of this? And would this work with the US TPT?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] goodboynyc:
I need to try this. But from what I understand this only works for ROW versions and not US versions(given the attached files from the OP). If someone could post an image of a US version I'd cross my fingers and give it a go.

Hi, I have succesfully rooted my ROW 16GB Wifi-only ICS 4.0.3 tablet following chinese guide. Excuse my english, Im not native speaker :). I'll try to explain what I did:

1. make sure you can see your TPT with "adb devices" command.

2. turn off your device, make sure you have USB cable connected, hold rotation lock button + power on device to get to APX mode. Screen will not turn on, but windows will find new APX hardware unknown.

3. update software driver for APX, set CWM folder manualy. You should now have NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery drover for Mobile devices installed.

4. in APX mode run "cwm.bat", after its done, reboot device to APX mode and press any key, dont press it before you restart your device. You can see CWM_recovery.img installing to your tablet. Follow instruction...

5. After step 4 is done, reboot your device to Recovery, when you see small lenovo logo spam volume up button until you see "booting to recovery kernel mode".

6. Navigate to mount and store using vol +/- button, power button to confirm. Select mount /system

7. make sure you can still ses your device using "adb devices" command, and run root.bat, follow instruction. When all is done, select power off in recovery menu.

8. Now you have root, but you cant boot to system. You need to get to APX mode again and run "403 recovery.bat", follow same steps as with "cwm.bat".

9. reboot and you should now have rooted TPT.

Hope this help, Im not so good at giving instructions :).

[Thinkpad Tablet General] Tioui:
Ok...Here's my translation. Give me some news about it. I am not responsible for any problem

First step is to remove all chineses characters from name and folder to keep original name.

1: Turn off your device, make sure you have USB cable connected, hold rotation lock button + power on device to get to APX mode. Screen will not turn on, but windows will find new APX hardware unknown.

2: Update software driver for APX, set CWM folder manually. Now, You should have NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery drover for Mobile devices installed.

3: To be sure to be APX mode that you have no visual indications light up your sound to hear the device to be recognized by Windows. Start ‘’cwm.bat’’ Press any key, wait . . . and shutdown your Tablet restarts again APX mode, Press any key . . . wait ... Press any key and shutdown your device.

Note: If you get a message as « USB device not foundNvflash started », check your connection between your computer and your device or your device is not in APX mode. So restart step 3

Note : After step 3, your device will not go further than recovery mode. IF there’s any problem with APX mode, renew your device with “403 recovery.bat”. Run as is “cwm.bat”

Known problem : after step 3, device can’t boot in recovery mode, only way is to restore with « 403 recovery.bat ». Problem with driver, so you need to restart or renew your driver

4 : After step 3 is done, reboot your device to Recovery mode, when you see small Lenovo logo spam volume up button until you see "booting to recovery kernel mode".

5: Navigate to mount and store using vol +/- button, power button to confirm. Select ‘’– mounts and storage’’.

6: launch abc.exe, lancer ‘’root.bat’’. Select : ‘’-mount /system’’ that should change after select in ‘’-unmount /system. Press any key to continue… wait … Press any key to finish, power off your device.

Note : If all goes as planned the Tablet should be'' root'' error when like me now ... I am currently no solution.

7: Now, you had to remain original boot for your device, start you tablet in APX mode, run ‘’403 recovery.bat’’ follows instructions and restart your device.
