[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
From stifilz's FAQ thread.

Q. AIO v4.1 isn't working?

A. AIO v4.1 is a little buggy please use v4.0 here.

You will need to disable updates so, create a file called "_offupdates" in "files" directory (without quotes).

Q. AIO still isn't working?

A. Please dowload the attached file ADB v1.0.29, extract and replace the files in the "files" directory.
[Sony Tablet S] ogaitch:
Ok thanks. I'll try downloading v4.0 later. So once downloaded i'll create the file in AIO directory I presume?? :)
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
In the files directory of the AiO tool's directory.
[Sony Tablet S] excentra:
ok im having noob issues here i have download AIO 4.0 and now where do i place the _offupdates file ? i dont have a a tools folder in my directory and do i just create a text document ? sorry for the noobish questions please help tho and thanks
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
Place an empty text file named _offupdates (without a .txt extension) in the directory named files. There is no directory named tools. I wrote tool's as in belonging to Condi's AiO tool.
[Sony Tablet S] excentra:
i have created an empty _offupdates file without the extension... but it keeps looking for the update... i tried offline but AIO wont open. i tried moving it from folder to folder to see if it would make any kind of difference but i just keep getting the message that there is a new update. is there a possible way around this ?
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
If you extracted Condi's S.onyTablet.S [ALLinONE] v4.0.7z file in your hard drive's root directory, then place the _offupdates file you created in the C:\S.onyTablet.S [ALLinONE] v4.0\files directory. Also, Condi's AiO tool will not work offline. The tool must be able to access the Internet.
[Sony Tablet S] excentra:
thanks for responding back i guess i must be doing something wrong here.... ok this is what im doing hopefuly you could correct me if im doing something wrong. in the "file" folder i right-click then click "New" and select "Text Document" and name it _offupdates . i also tried saving as and saving with .file extension. with the save-as it does skip the update but then just closes as soon as i try to open
[Sony Tablet S] excentra:
finaly got it working but now im having the issue of "divice not found" i hit 7 ro reboot the device and i get an error massage that well device is not found and when i do 1 to rood it just hangs on

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
You may need to install or reinstall drivers for adb in recovery.
[Sony Tablet S] ogaitch:
I have downloaded ADB v1.0.29, extracted it and replaced the files in the "files" directory. But I am still getting the same message * daemon not running. starting it now *

* daemon started successfully *

And it hangs when I use option 5 Region Changer or 4 Tweaks and mods.

My Sony s has already beeen rooted. :confused:
[Sony Tablet S] ogaitch:
I just used a root checker to check if i still have root and i do! so what could be the problem & how do i fix it guys?

I'm on a I747, rooted but with rogers stock rom with a lot a frozen apps. I want to apply the last update, so I downloaded with checkfus this file : SGH-I747M_RWC_1_20120816110401_06bjpmfc9q and I'm planning to flash this file with odin directly....

is it OK and risk free ? I know, after I should be unrooted, but it's fine, I can live with this.

I had a clean install of Sensation 3.5 , pushed adobe flash 11 apk( i had a backup of v 10 also ) to system app , but when i tried to open any flash content on stock browser but all i got is a small blue box ( ya , that thing u get when the plugin is not installed )

Tried to install it normally , but nothing too

I was saying that ios has a defect for not having flash , now android has that thing too?!

Is this me only or it's a general thing , i noticed also that the app disappeared from google play store

If it's me only , can u please tell me how to get flash working again on my S2 ?

- install flash plugin as normal user apk, and not as system apk,

- open your browser, settings, then enable plugin.

-Reboot phone.

Flash should load as normal now.

Good luck

Thanks for ur answers but this didnt work , still can't open any flash neither on stock nor other browsers , anyways i had a previous cwm backup(it was made 6 days before the brick and everything with working perfectly on it ) , before i hardbricked my phone .. Is it safe to restore this backup?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
did you mean a previous ROM backup?

Yes you can restore it via CWM recovery. It shouldn't brick your device

I just got prompted to download 2.77.651.8. Does anyone have experience with it yet?
[EVO Shift 4G General] astien:
I'm relatively sure it fixes the ShiftySonOfA exploit. I can no longer root my device with that method.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Aestivalis:
So no point installing it? I can live with that.
[EVO Shift 4G General] -somebody-:
id just avoid it like the plague, the odds of a developer bothering to work on an exploit if it does close the hole is slim to none nowadays since most of the devs have moved on to better phones by now
[EVO Shift 4G General] Chad The Pathfinder:
+1!
[EVO Shift 4G General] blmvxer:
I think if anyone would fix the exploit it would just be to test there skills. and say that they did.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Avoid Sprint Official Updates like the plague ;) . Never take an Update form Sprint till your sure what it is. It's one sure fire way to get yourself into ISH.

Seems like the update made the speedy more speedy this is coming from Strapped365 rom though
[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
I didnt do anything to the ota other than cook it up Stock odex. I could deodex it and post that too so its easier for people to get in there and do mods though. Its all what you all want. But a debloated bone stock optimized rom dont sound halfway bad. Even though you guys have ICS and all that good stuff, some users do like Stock optimized ( no tweaks and minor changes ) so.....................

Can the S3 connect to a WiFi network whilst connected to the dongle, or does the dongle becomes the network the S3 is connected to?

Is this affected by the EMMC superbrick bug also?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tefanym:
It's better to stay away from 4.0.4 at the moment .. At leat till samsung releases a fix for this emmc brick bug
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Samsung will not release any fix for any bug. Why? Because if you don't ROOT your phone, you can never brick your phone, even on 4.0.4

Swyped from my Galaxy SII

---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 AM ----------

It will most likely be affected by brick bug.

But you shouldn't worry much, if you can read and understand.

Conditions:

1. If you don't plan to ROOT your phone after the update, you are 100% safe

2. If you just want to root your phone after the update, but will not be flashing, backup ROM or wipe anything via CWM recovery, you are also safe.

3. If you want to flash, wipe, backup in CWM recovery after the update, then you have to be very careful here.

To stay safe, You must flash a custom kernel immediately after rooting your phone, before wiping, it backing up anything via CWM recovery.

Siyah, Dorimanx, Dream, Speedmod, Dm, Neak, and Shun kernels are all known to be safe.

Good luck

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RusherDude:
You are wrong.

Data wipe / Factory reset on STOCK RECOVERY also provokes superbrick, and it was tested by XDA members on this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1644364

HERE you have an XDA user getting a superbrick by using stock recovery factory reset:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25990104#post25990104

Stop uninforming, please. Both stock recovery, ClockWorkMod and any userspace program calling wipe() will have chances of provoking the superbrick.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
The thing is, a normal user, who doesn't want to mess with the phone, and only performs factory reset in Settings > backup & Restore, will never brick his phone. that was my point,

And your point may not be that valid as your links pointed to Epic touch 4G. this is GT i9100, mate
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tefanym:
If he was a normal user , he wouldn't have known xda . Besides being stuck with the limits of samsung and giving up all those tweaks , mods and stuff is like putting the Beast (S2) in a cage

I myself don't recommend 4.0.4.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
If he's not a normal user, then he can simply flash a Custom Kernel (with emmc_erase disabled) and stay safe!

Personally, I do recommend 4.0.4 because it's the most stable smoothest stock ICS. It is now left for the user to decide whether to update to 4.0.4 or not, after I let him/her know the risks involved and how to stay safe.

Hi,

I installed Cyanogenmod 9 and also gApps. Now i have google play. But what for is superuser application used? When open it i get google play like interface but it is empty. I mean the application gets started but it sais 'no applications found'.

What should i have to do?

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoftVIP:
superuser application need to root applications such as antivirus or Remove Programs, you can leave the application in the future because it is useful to you!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
1. Superuser app means your device is rooted

2. It is the application that mediates between your phone and an application attempting to gain ROOT/Admin access.

3. It is very similar to UAC (user account control) in Windows 7, which will ask "Do you want to continue", anytime you or an application wants to perform an administrative task.

4. It is empty because you have not granted any app Root permission. All apps you grant/deny ROOT access, will be listed in the app.

5. Don't touch/(attempt to)remove the app, it will be very useful to you soon. It doesn't have any impact on the performance of your phone.

Hope this info helps you enough

[General Questions and Answers] Allen Edwards:
I wrote an app that tells me time to a starting line where the official start is based on GPS time. My app needs the best location accuracy and the time from the GPS satellites. To get DGPS, I need an external module and for that I bought a Qstarz 100XT which has WAAS capability.

I cannot find an app to interface the module to my phone or tablet. Here is what I have tried and what the problem is:

1) Bluetooth GPS - loss of bluetooth lock without re-acquiring. Totally useless in a race situation.

2) Bluetooth GPS Provider - time reported is system time, not GPS time. I can set the system clock off 5 minutes and all my GPS apps thing the time is off 5 minutes. Totally useless.

3) GPS Mouse - same as #2.

In addition I would really like 5Hz update rate which Bluetooth GPS Provider has but more important is something that works, does not lose lock, and reports the GPS time not the system time.

I have read like 100 posts here on xda and Googled it for hours. I posted on stackoverflow without success.

Does anyone know of an app that really works for interfacing with an external GPS and reports distance and time from the satellites and reacquires when it loses lock?
[General Questions and Answers] MSprecher:
I use Bluetooth GPS 0.7.5a by Googoo Android in combination with an external GNS5870. This works like a charm for months now, using copilotlive premium, sygic (mock locations activated)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] moreisbetter:
I have been searching on the forum and Google but no answer. I had a Sprint Galaxy S3 and it was rooted with custom recovery Clockworkmod. After an update was available I could not install the update, failing with the message "verification failed" when trying to apply the official update file. I couldn't find an answer so I went back to stock recovery.

Now I have a verizon S3 and I would like to back up an image of my phone with clockworkmod but I would like to be able to update, especially with the looming jellybean update coming soon. Did I miss a way to install the updates to the official rom with clockworkmod? Or was it simply not possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nighthawk34691:
With most custom Roms...being able to do OTA updates is blocked because it could interfere with the rooted Rom you are running...its more or less a safety feature for that purpose. If you want to get the new Jelly Bean OTA update, you will have to flash your device back to unrooted stock and it should work just fine...as long as ur rooted, you wont be able to, if im not mistaken.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Thats true, and there is the whole bootloader thing! Now that we have all hacked away our bootloaders, the OTA just won't happen. Hopefully an easy relock becomes available for the vzws3 before that update is released, but I wouldn't panic - big red will probably release it to us after everyone else has gotten it and out phones are outdated! In general though, within a week or two of an official large release, the amazing devs on this site will have a downloadable version available for us to manually install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] T.M.M.L:
If you have modded your phone, never try to take a OTA update. At the least you will lose root abilities. At the worst, potential bricking of your device.

Usually before, lol, if not just after a OTA, the devs have working release for our devices.

Take it easy, relax.
