No worries, took me forever to figure out that I need busybox. Had to look at the code for Flash Gordon to figure it out. Let me know if it works for you :)
[Android General] nonaxanon:
yep it all worked tyvery much
[Android General] DesignGrits:
Glad to hear it! :)
[Android General] Goddly:
hey, can i get linkjs and a general idea of how it was done on the Tabeo E2, i may even make a Rom/ thread for this device. if ive got root, i can start things going.

wow.... just thought about it, I can theme it for Boys and Girls! the things i can do, add spiderman/ super hero themes, along with Dora my lttle pony etc for the girls, theyd flip!

so a prompt answer would be appreciated

~Goddly~
[Android General] Goddly:
Keep getting "not a flashable zip error" instantly with flash gordon..... uninstalled and reinstalled busybox successfully twice... same result...

Edit line :

move G.zip to the internal storage not in a folder, is a very important step....

but... the problem i face now, is when attempting to download an app from google play, it does nothing. just has the blue bar, no percentage. was wondering if this has something to do with the parental filter. ?? anyone have any ideas? thanks
[Android General] DesignGrits:
Did you install busybox and install busybox applets? If you did, try changing the name of the g.zip to something else. Then reboot and try Flash Gordon again. If doesn't work try wiping cache/data from flash Gordon app and run it again. Make sure to have g.zip file in the external memory and not in any folders.
[Android General] Goddly:
read edited post above please.
[Android General] DesignGrits:
I ended up uninstalling the parental app using titanium backup app on the playstore. Because it would fight with play store.
[Android General] Goddly:
cant find the google play app in the parental filter list to even allow it. unsure if its because its a system app?
[Android General] DesignGrits:
Not sure, I uninstalled it. Slide down the status bar, do you see the parental control app? If yes, tap and hold on it, tap the pop up "info". Press the force stop on the parental app , clear cache/data if available. Launch the play store, download titanium backup. Do you know how to use it?
[Android General] Goddly:
I do. I've been making roms etc for awhile now. I've always included titanium backup. Just was wondering if there was a way to use the stock parental filter app in conjunction with Google play store. ;) I'm sure there's quite a few parental alternatives on the play store I can use after the fact. Please highlight the line mentioned in the post above . Everything else (besides the parental filter) worked perfectly. Great guide. Thanks again.
[Android General] DesignGrits:
Thank you. Updated tutorial. :)
[Android General] Bubba Fett:
You guys never cease to amaze me. Thanks for trying this firstly, and secondly taking the time to let others know how to as well. Its nice to have control over a device for the kids, especially all the ads. Thanks you and great work!
[Android General] DesignGrits:
No problem, glad to help :)
[Android General] njank:
thanks guys... other filters?

Thanks from me as well. Got an e2 for daughter for xmas. realized half of the stuff in the tabeo e-store was really poor ad-laden crap (even age-inappropriate ads, which surprised me. 'daddy, why did this thing that popped up misspell 'Gurlz'?' :eek:

I did install amazon app store since its an easy manual apk install. tried grabbing the Play Store apk from another thread here. it would install fine but after opening would immediately crash to desktop. any version. trying to get to play.google.com always ran into parental filter blocking too. I had completely disabled the parental filter over xmas and the couple days after when site access died (I heard their support system just imploded with the overload.) haven't turned it back on since, but the play store crashing persists. Also noticed the web browser would still redirect some websites (including xda) to the parental filter site even with the app disabled. Anyone know what hooks the tablet/filter are using to block play store and other things while the app's disabled?

I plan to follow the instructions above for rooting/installing play store later, but would like some sort of parent filter once all is finished. Anyone who has removed the installed filter found a decent alternative to the one that came with the tablet?
[Android General] DesignGrits:
The securty app on the Tabeo does not play well with Play Store. Follow the instructions I made in order to get everything working. I did these exact instructions on two Tabeo tablets and worked for both. Basically you have to use Titanium Backup to uninstall the security app in order to get to it stop blocking everything, also you need to flash the gapps that I provided because they have been proved to work, Play Store and all. Keep me posted on your progress. :)
[Android General] Goddly:
I've noticed the play store apps are not recognized by the tabeo parental filter app. So. Another option is the best.
[Android General] DesignGrits:
If you follow the guide I laid out it says that the parental controls app does not work with the Play Store, you will need to remove it using titanium backup which is free on the play store.
[Android General] arana1:
i cant get my pc to recognize tabeo adb device, also cant install pdanet from the playstore coz i dont have a playstore :S
[Android General] DesignGrits:
pdanet website, not from the playstore. The link is listed in the tutorial, that will resolve your adb issues.

http://pdanet.co/
[Android General] arana1:
after installing pdanet from website i get instructions to download app to phone, i cannot get this app , neither from website nor playstore

anyway i managed to download it cant remember how, i just needed to use another pc, my laptop is just full of usb/adb/com/modem drivers needs a clean sweep lol.

tutorial worked good, its just not very clear regarding the "run pda from phone" part (after the "Follow the instructions on PdaNet.")
[Android General] DesignGrits:
Does anyone know if a rom was ever created for this tablet? My sons tablet is rather slow while my daughters is totally fine. Would like to overclock it if I can to get better performance and get better battery life.
[Android General] DesignGrits:
Does anyone know where I could find the stock firmware or a custom rom/recovery for this tablet?
[Android General] catchjeff:
Sorry to have to ask this but I am having an issue with getting my Tabeo to connect to my PC. I did all the steps but the issue is when I go to select connect to usb on my tablet i just get the never ending sync circle and it never connects and I cannot access the files through my PC. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Jeff
[Android General] DesignGrits:
Hey Jeff, are you referring to step 3 where you are attempting to root the device? I would try to install the drivers again through pdanet, and then reboot your computer and try again. Also, did you turn on Debugging in developer options?
[Android General] catchjeff:
Thank you for the quick response. I am not new to rooting, I have been doing it for years so let me explain what is going on with my tablet.

I already went through all the steps, was able to see the tablet files on my pc and rooted my device installed busy box and then I went to install the gapps via flash gordon app. The zip would not stick and the unzipping rocess was only taking a few seconds. The tablet was disconnected from the pc and I tried to reconnect it but it would not take. The issue is I forgot to put the gapps file on the internal memory, instead I left it in the folder and now I cannot access it and move things around. I cannot do it through file explorer also.

So I went ahead and did a factory reset and deleted all the files on my pc and downloaded them again but now I cannot get my pc to reconise my tablet. I get the never ending sync circle. I know I should not have done a factory reset but I was just going to start over from scratch. Oh and my tablet is still rooted.
[Android General] jaded_1_99:
ya i got two for kids under 4... and no one wants to mode it? where are the hacks to it guys? got amazon on it now i need google play app guys
[Android General] DesignGrits:
I wisha dev or someone with a Linux machine could port aosp to this device with a recovery, my daughters tablet works fine but my sons tablet has major issues with the stock tabeo apps. I factory rest it, but everytime I go through the setup it has me install the tabeo apps then reboots and starts over. I can't fix it for the life of me since there is no recovery or image to flash.
[Android General] DesignGrits:
I hate to ask, but has anyone heard of a dev working on porting any other rom on to this tablet other than stock?
[Android General] shabbypenguin:
Porting CM is a very daunting task, its taken me a couple of weeks to port it mostly bug free to the Moto G 4g, and that was minimal work. A completely different device than normal would be a pretty big undertaking, add to that the lack of info/updates/code and this would be a nightmare. If someone wants to give me recovery.img I can try my hand at porting recovery for yall, but i wouldnt hold my breath. Most of these Chinese tablets use very stupid code and can break very easily.
[Android General] jaded_1_99:
i cant see what files to download to tabeo on step two?
[Android General] DesignGrits:
Porting over cm is really not my biggest issue, I am more concerned with all the stock security features that come on this device. Is there any way to remove all of the Tabeo apps from the stock rom?

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

My computer crashed and I lost all of the files. I don't use the same host site anymore either so i don't have them anymore.

Here are the files you will need:

-Busybox.apk

-File Explorer.apk

-Flash Gordan.apk

-Quick Reboot

-Googles Gapps 4.2.2 flashable zip

-AKA Kingoapp Software: http://www.kingoapp.com

-7zip: http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

-PdaNet site: http://pdanet.co/a/

Optional:

-I would recommend using Titanium backup so you can freeze/uninstall/backup apps. I will usually freeze the stock apps.
[Android General] shabbypenguin:
removing teh apps should be as simple as replacing the core ones and removing them using root at first guess, it shouldnt be anything terribly serious on such a no name device.
[Android General] DesignGrits:
The problem I am running into is that some of the apps are integrated in to the system apps and with some I am not sure which ones are stock and which ones are Tabeo apps.
[Android General] jaded_1_99:
thank you so much both of them done and running just fine. had one take longer to do had to reset it once just to have clean install of it lol now i have to put the amazon back to lol muchs thankz!!!!!
[Android General] njank:
connecting tabeo... xp

had a minor issue connecting the tabeo to my PC to follow the tutorial. Doing this on an old XP machine and sometimes this will have problems connecting a media device using MTP. got around this by installing Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit from Microsoft. ( Can't link, so google it.) I already had WMP 10 installed, some people in other threads said they needed WMP11).

Then, make sure the Tabeo is set to connect as a Media Device under Settings/Storage/USB Computer Connection

It still didn't work for me (appeared as a ? MTP Device in Device Manager) until I temporarily disabled the USB Debugging under Developer options. Then Windows suddenly found a "Tabeo 8" media device, installed it, and the full filesystem appears under Windows Explorer.

now, to finish the rest of the process...

Edit: FYI, can't transfer non-media files to Tabeo in MTP mode. Hinted elsewhere that this is because I still have WMP10, possibly not an issue with WMP11+. silly workaround, just added a fake .mp3 extension to the filenames in the Tabeo Setup folder before copying, then used the Tabeo's explorer app to rename. once done with moving the files, re-enabled the USB Debugging before starting the android_root.exe process.
[Android General] typiewaffles:
i rooted my tabeo

[Android General] jaded_1_99:

Hey guys anybody else noticing that auto correct does not work on the stock keyboard on cm10. It shows the corrections as options but not the default option that applies when you hit the space bar, you have to tap the correction manually. Is this normal?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcticmedia:
Hello I am a proud owner of the SIII and I was wondering how brickable this devices is.

I had a Xperia X10 and Xperia Play before and restoring to stock was very easy and the phones were unbrickable even mid flashing I could still restore to stock.

How does the SIII go with this ?

With my previous devices I just needed to flash them with SEUS and that's it to go to stock now I read for samsung you need odin to flash back to stock and there is a flash counter you can reset the flash counter with triangle away I know that been reading much :).

But yea using those methods and such is this device brickable or not or is it possible to flash it in recovery withouth any problems even with using triangle away? would be very disapointed if I would brick my device

Kind Regards

arcticmedia
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the2rrell:
unbrickable NO, but if you use commen sense you can flash away with odin/mobile odin for stock.....and CWM for any custom roms.

only bricks i have seen are people in the wrong forums flashing US firmwares or vise versa
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Samsung phones are known unbrickable( read Adam outler).except superbrick

Yes u can flash from cwm without increasing flash counter,also use "mobile Odin" without increasing flash counter.

And make a nandroid so u always can restore if problems occur during flashing
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beppelupo:
preety unbrickable if you use common sense and the right device. This fprum is for i-9300 international version.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
With common sense in the highest gear: Almost unbrickable.*

Complete lack of common sense and using the wrong device (say GT-i9300T in a i9300 forum), then it's approx. 95% brickable*

Lack of common sense but with the right device: 68.5% brickable.*

* The statistics are made up and only for aesthetics.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyjay:
I think everyone has already said it buddy, just use common sense and don't go flashing firmware for the US variant on a European/Asian device because inevitably....you will brick your phone, and when switching roms....take the time to sync with Google, it does help for when you come to restore your Google account. And when switching roms, although you don't have to, but I always do a full wipe to get rid of anything that might not be compatible with the version of Android you're about to flash, and then let Google decide what's restored and what isn't.

Remember....a £500 phone + common sense is better than no common sense and a phone that's useless. Because if you brick it....SAMSUNG WILL NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE IT lol
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Samsung can repair it,at the same price as a new phone..

But search "j-tag" and a US firm comes up,for 40$(+postage) they will repair your phone,except superbrick(emmc corrupt)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Nearly unbrickable but a fair few users try really really hard to brick it .

First question is do you have an International I9300 if so proceed .

Many do not and flash I9300 on a non I9300 phone .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcticmedia:
Yup I have the international version GT-I9300 running I9300XXLH1
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
One bit of advice, to root,, use the cf-root, simple, easy, fool proof
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beginnerteur:
If you use the correct thigs etc. for GT-I9300 you won't brick your phone, so mind using the right things and read and do the installation or whatever exactly like it's told in the turotials.

But nobody can garantee it! But you must be a big hero to brick your phone unrepairable :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nellycruzz:
Im on t-mobile and this constant data drops and crappy signal in my house and everywhere u go is intolerable. I really don't wanna sign a contract but heard.good things about straight Talk. So i need advice or current user input on this matter. Or recommend me to something worth checking out. Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
StaightTalk seems pretty good for at&t users who want to change carriers with minimum fuss. Your at&t note won't need any rom or modem flashing. But, you will have to unlock it and manually input the APN settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nellycruzz:
Well any idea on how the coverage is? Just like att? data fast?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sarcosis:
It runs on AT&T's HSPA network. So it's the same as that. You won't get LTE though. That currently only for AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nellycruzz:
Last question. Can i sign up at walmart without buying a phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cougar11:
Just order a sim card online...I'm currently on ST n its got fast data speeds n good coverage
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] popi09:
If you have an AT&T phone and plan on using ST AT&T then you don't need to unlock your phone! I'm using the GNote on straight talk AT&T without it unlocked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nellycruzz:
I just wanna make sure the signal and data is far better than t-mobile or not. Just wanna make sure the difference is worth it

Tnx in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jprovan1:
I for cannot get this feature to work. I have it enabled in the settings. Any suggestions on how to get this to work and anyone else having this problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blackhemi4x4:
it takes some practice. I found it is just easier to home and pwr button it though. more often then not, the motion moves my screen before it snaps the pic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] silver04v:
Idk how people have an issue. Put the side of your hand across screen, I go right to left, and make sure it's on the entire screen. I've seen people waving over it, must be touching.

Sent from my Synergized vzw S3!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrostic:
Stop waving at your phone and slide your hand
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blue6IX:
Anyone got it to work with a defender case? Works fine without it but the raised edges of the case make it impossible to do with the case on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JBO1018:
Yeah it never fails me. It's the easiest way to take a screen shot I have ever used. I agree with above advice make sure the side of your hand is over most of the screen. Also don't swipe too fast. You don't have to go slow but just don't flick it across the screen you know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:
I must have ghost hands, because I've never gotten it to work either. Buttons all the way for me. Of course, the only time I've taken a screenshot anyway was to make a note of my IMEI out of neuroticism.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
It just takes practice.

My girlfriend can use her baby hands and take a screenie on demand. I'm like a 1 for 4 kind of guy.

Doesn't matter if you go right to left or left to right. I'm left handed and always start at the left.

Use the same hand sign you would use for a karate chop. Put it on the bezel and sweep it to the other side. I always move the screen too...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
works fine for me...although i do have hands big enough to take motion screen shots on 2 gs3's at the same time lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
You know what they say about big hands.....

.....lots of screenshots ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vetteguy112233:
I had the same problem, I couldn't get it to work for the first 2 weeks. Now I can get it every single time, but I found that if I lightly drag the side of my hand from left to right across the screen it works better. Sometimes this moves the screen, but lightly touching the screen was the fix for me.
[Motorola Atrix 2] chroeth:
I installed the ICS update OTA (672.1.18.MB865.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03). Everything else works ok (data was preserved) but now I can't get a data connection. Calls and SMS are fine and I made sure data connection is on and I double checked my APN. I'm from Singapore.

In addition, a minor problem was that "Add group to home" for app groups doesn't create a shortcut on the home screen like it's supposed to.

Can someone help me with the problems?
[Motorola Atrix 2] tchsvy:
I am too having the same kind of issue after ICS OTA..

Initially thought it was network issue but soon after realized its with the mobile only, sometimes i do get the data going but that too for a short period only, did a factory reset, wiped the cache nothing worked.

System version 672.1.18.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03
[Motorola Atrix 2] athani:
+1 Same here - sometimes I have data connection, most of the times I don't. But to be honest, I had this problem with GB too.
[Motorola Atrix 2] devilhunter47:
This is the problem with searet firmware i think..i had this prob when using gb..but it got solved when i flashed one of the at n t roms..now i am using version 17 of the leak and there is no problem with my data connection
[Motorola Atrix 2] tchsvy:
I just sent a mail to Moto reg this issue and now the problem solved just like that on its own.. did nothing, but I don't have any of the problems mentioned before
[Motorola Atrix 2] athani:
Maybe I should send Moto an email too :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] tchsvy:
May be you should :D

I am really liking this ICS build, minimalistic, almost no bloatware, clocked at 1.2GHz.

Missed few of the goodies in GB initially, thanks to the great devs and senior members here found few alternatives for them, like PlayerPro for GB music player, Executive assistant for the social widget and so on..

It doesn't have to be about ROMs or moddings, these little things on XDA are also as useful. XDA Rocks! !:good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] athani:
+1 : It's really a good build.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tchsvy:
I have spoken too early :silly:

data connectivity issues are back again, and when i was on GB heard lots of guys complaining about this issue, and i never had them, now getting taste of it.

The signal bars drop, and one second it is there and the other it aint.. its frustrating to the core..

and.. Moto did reply to my mail, asking me to factory reset my mobile, and steps to do it :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] athani:
For me, the cell reception is not the problem. Data connection disappears even with perfect signal.

You should have known better than to contact Moto about this :rolleyes:
[Motorola Atrix 2] tchsvy:
Know my english sucks.. didnt understand that.. :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] athani:
I meant that Moto support is useless. Whatever problem you go to them with, their solution is always the same - factory reset :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] tchsvy:
Yeah.. they should name their customer care as "hard reset care" :p
