Hey guys

Do you know where to put the prebuilt kernel and does it needs to be an zip file or an boot.img file?

Thanks!

[HTC Desire S] scotyard:
My desire S is on Android 2.3 Gingerbread(official HTC). I would like to upgrade to the official ICS by HTC. I am from India. Can I update using the WWE RUU? Also, how can I backup my phone's data?

Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Read!! Everything has been discussed and answered fully if you read the stickies and the threads
[HTC Desire S] TatoValverde:
You can back up contacts, sms, etc with various apps from the Play Store.

To completely backup your system, you need to have Root access.

If you are going to install the ICS upgrade, I recommend you take some time to read the tutorials listed under the INDEX in "Android Development" forums. It will save you a lot of time, even if you spend several hours reading and getting to understand them.

Once you have that clear, you can root your phone, backup your system, create a goldcard and install the RUU.

If not convinced, just wait untill you get an OTA update, which shouldn't be long if your phone was unbranded!
[HTC Desire S] vndnguyen:
- You can, as it is WW Edition

- To backup, you can use Titanium if you have rooted your phone

- Or you can make a backup from custom recovery
[HTC Desire S] scotyard:
I am new to android 'hacking' so please forgive me for being extra cautious. I did search the threads here but I just wanted to confirm if the WW release can be used here in India because the downloaded file had 'Europe' in it's name.

Ah thank you. I have backed up all my data thanks to 'my databackup'. Every thing is in order. But before I take the final plunge, I would like to know what are my options if I am not satisfied with ICS and want to revert back to gingerbread? (I've heard about nandroid. Do I have other options?)

My Desire S is not currently rooted but I have no qualms doing it.

And the OTA will not be available for Desire S as confirmed by HTC. So no point of waiting any longer.
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
1. That EUROPE version release can be used as WWE (I think it stands for World Wide Edition or something). If it don't work, you can always use a GoldCard. Research about it.

2. You can always downgrade. There are numerous methods out there. Don't ask how to. Research again.

Bottom line:

Research
[HTC Desire S] scotyard:
Just updated. Everything is fine after update.

It would have required quite some research on the various aspects of backing up among others. I couldn't hold back anymore.

Hi guys,

I put my transformer prime on ebay yesterday at a buy it now price of £350 which I thought was fair considering the prime's condition. Someone bought it within about 6 hours which was great, however, he only has 1 feedback for a saw he bought in 2011.

He sent me this message over ebay:

Hi mate, Glad I won your item. I'm currently in U.K at the moment. Please email me at xxxxxxxxxxxxxx@yahoo.com, confirming the exact condition of the item. I will be going for an appointment will be able to access my email from my iPhone, so email me at xxxxxxxxxxx@yahoo.com using the item number as the subject. cheers

seems dodgy. Only in the UK for a bit? going for an appointment? Using a freeweb email address? His address checks out as being from the UK

I am aware of people reversing payment on paypal once theyve received the product and I don't know how to defend myself from that happening. I can't afford to be scammed as I'm a student and need the money to buy a laptop as my other one packed up yesterday.

Any advice would be great,

Cheers, Nick
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
Did he send payment? Did he pay with Paypal?

Just make sure that you ship the tablet with tracking and insurance. You might consider doing a proof of delivery (signature) as well. As long as you can prove it was delivered to the address he specified he can't come back later and say he never got the item. The tracking, signature confirmation and insurance all cost a few bucks extra, but when dealing with a $350 item and a dodgy customer they are well worth the extra fee.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ratman6161:
I'd be concerned about wanting to "confirm the exact condition of the item". If he wanted to do that he should have contacted you before bidding, not after winning. Also, whatever precautions you may take, if he leaves the country after he has your hardware in hand, you will not have much recourse if things go sour later-even if you have all the documentation to prove your side of things. Any way you could get him to pay cash?

On the yahoo account, I wouldn't be too concerned about that. I know lots of people who use yahoo, gmail, etc as their primary email accounts. This keeps things so that your email account is not tied to your ISP and you can keep your address if you change service providers. Also, I personally keep a separate Gmail account that I only use on ebay so that I don't have to give out my "real" address which I only give to friends and family.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nickkyboy36:
thanks for your replies guys,

no, I have not received any money into my paypal account and am waiting for a response from him. Just a quick question regarding postal insurance: Do I insure my tablet up to the value of £350 and receive that if it all goes wrong? Why doesn't everyone just claim things went missing and both parties win?

also to the guy above, that bothered me too. The item's condition was extensively detailed in my description with photos and everything

cheers, Nick
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
With insurance you specify the sale price of the item and if it goes missing you collect that amount of money from the postal service which you then use to repay the purchaser.

The reason that everyone doesn't just say things are "missing" is because doing so is a crime punishable with prison time if you are found out. :) Also, it is unlikely that you will be able to get a stranger to reliably lie for you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nickkyboy36:
So Worst case scenario is the item goes missing in the post according to mr fraudulent purchaser and I collect cash from the post office?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
No. The worse case scenario is that you don't buy insurance and the package gets lost or damaged in which case you are out of a tablet and have to refund the $350 out of your own pocket because your item was never delivered.

(Total loss= Tablet + $$350)

2nd worst scenario is the tablet is lost, but you paid $5 (or whatever) for the shipping insurance so you don't have to refund the purchaser out of your own pocket but you are still missing a tablet.

(Total loss= Tablet + $5)

When shipping relatively expensive items overseas it is always worth paying an extra $10 or so to the shipping company for insurance, detailed tracking and signature confirmation. This is doubly true if you don't trust the buyer which seems to be the case with this guy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] valentinrascu:
I sell my prime with dock, with 399 euro. I buy this in aprile. 2years waranty. I never use this tablet, and i want to sell. I change 2 prime, for defective problems. This is OK. For link send PM.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nickkyboy36:
oh I see, thus keeping the cash the buyer has given me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pnharrison:
This does sound like a scam to me, I once had very similar emails when I advertised a car.

I wouldn't part with your Prime until you have the money safely. I don't think you're covered by eBay payment protection (because his feedback is low), but might be worth checking with eBay customer service how protected you are.

Good luck!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
Pretty much. According to eBay rules if your product was lost and not delivered you would have to refund them their money (Paypal would happily do it for them without your consent). If you bought insurance, the postal service would pay you the listed value of the tablet so you would get $350 (minus whatever you paid for insurance) and the purchaser would get their $350 back as well.

Insurance is ALWAYS worthwhile, especially for items over $100 and often for items as low as $30 if you have a bad feeling about the buyer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nightpath:
I've used Ebay a LOT.

1 - Never send without a payment

2 - NEVER, I repeat NEVER EVER accept a payment through PayPal that they used a credit card to make. Reason? People claim that they were "frauded" and do a chargeback. PayPal retracts the money from you and you are out everything.

3 - If you receive a payment email from the buyer NEVER trust them. EVER. Go directly to your paypal through your web browser, never through their links. Reason? They have fake paypal pages set up to make you think you got the payment. I've seen this more times than I can count...it almost suckered me the first time it was that good.

4- ALWAYS get insurance, tracking number and mandatory signature upon delivery. DO NOT EVER send without any of these. Period.

5 - Make sure to ship through whatever government shipping options you have if available. Canada Post, USPS, whatever...this usually avoids brokerage fees (which you can apply to be your own broker and get the item anyway, but it's a headache and a HUGE scam shipping companies LOVE to employ for extra cash)

6 - If the guy says he's from somewhere reasonably local (UK, USA, Canada) then states "I am overseas working in Africa on a geological survey ship, can you please send to my cousin in Nigeria" tell him to **** off and repost it.

7 - EVERY fake buyer will send a template email "Thanks guy, I am happy to be winning your item off of ebay and can not wait to get it! I am so excited!", it never sounds conversational and never mentions the specific item. You can send them back an email that asks them specific questions and they'll answer with another template "Glad to hear from you, I will send the money requested and $50 extra dollars if you send the item as soon as possible through the fastest way".

If the person on the other end can't have a conversation, even in halted English, ignore them and move on. They are a scammer, usually from Africa, using templates to try to scam. Chances are they can't speak a lick of English, or even count. They entice with excited sounding emails offering extra money above and beyond the asking price, then send a fake email that they paid you with a link inside that takes you to a fake page.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Balur:
This screams scam, I'd back away from it right now. If your selling on Ebay make sure you have someone with atleast 6 to 12 months history, and with a good rating. People will buy a bunch of crap $1 cables so they can raise up there rating and then start scamming on big name items.

When I sold my iPhone 3G years ago I ended up with someone offering to pay me and paypal but wanted me to ship to his Niece in another province... it was a gift and she'd be soooooo excited... apparently....

I walked away from that deal quickly.

Put it up on craigs list, meet in a public place and get cash.

Guys I've got a problem with my Galaxy S i9000 with CM9. It stopped working after restart (endless loop on Cyangenmod logo) and now I'cant get to recovery mode. Only download mode works, so I think that I must to flash it with ODIN. And there is a problem, because I can't find proper CM9 ROM files for ODIN. And what version of ODIN should I use? Now I've got 4.38 and phone is visible - it's OK?

I will be very pleased for ROM files to ODIN and some instructions how to flash it propely. I've read many threads from morning, but I can't find ROMs :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geniac:
Hi there,

afaik there are no CM Versions flashable via ODIN.Use ODIN to flash a Stock firmware, then install ClockworkModRecovery and Install CM9 via CWM.

You should try to take Out your Battery for about 5 minutes and try to enter Recovery Mode.

About the Odin Version: If you look at different "howto use ODIN tutorials" there are different Versions "recommended" I've used multiple ODIN Versions eg 1.3 / 1.83 and every Version made a good job.

Give this a try if Battery-out for 5 Minutes does't take you back to recovery

1.does the note 2 is faster than the sgs 3?i heard all the time that sgs 3 is the flagship of Samsung so if the note 2 is faster and better it should be the samsung flagship.someone told me that the note 2 isnt faster than the sgs 3 because it has bigger screen so it needs stronger processor but the speed of the device isnt faster than the sgs 3 is it true?

2.where can i buy the note 2?i cant find an online recommend store

3.what is the price of the note 2?

thanks for all the helpers!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
There is a big Preorder thread in general that answers those questions.

The size of the screen shouldn't affect speed - it should be the total resolution. It's the same resolution as the s3 but with a faster processor and jelly bead so it should be a fair bit faster
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kfirbep:
ok thanks!but if the note is faster why the sgs 3 is the flagship of samsung and note the note 2?

and when it will be release officially?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMax99:
The note 2 is not the flagship because there is still a large percentge of people who thinks the screen of the note is too big for daily use and thus not considered as a mainstream phone. It is considered as a mixed of a tablet amd phone rather than a phone.

No set date for the release yet, but likely to be mid october
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kfirbep:
and its gonna cost like the note 1?530$ on amazon?because the price of the pre order is pretty expensive.

plus isnt it too big?(the note 1 that u have)can you put the note 1 in your pocket?is it comfortable in your pocket?the note 2 is bigger so i guess i would have only note 2 in one of my pockets
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
So far, the Note 2 release price has been roughly the same price as the note 1's release price.

That being: about $750 US (does not include VAT). perhaps, a year later, the Note 2 will be $530.

The note 1 fits in all my pockets, but I have some friends whose pockets it doesn't fit in.

If you aren't sure, make a mockup out of cardboard and see for yourself. That's what I did.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kfirbep:
it will cost 750$?! i always thought that iphone is the most expensive phone...so are u saying that the price of the note 1 of 530$ is because the note 2?i thought that this is the full price of the device and after the note 2 will release the note 1 will be cheaper and the note 2 will cost 530$.

well i dont have this kind of money so i guess i will go for the sgs 3...

[LG Optimus Black] jonas.h:
Hi guys,

a friend of mine has a huge problem with his rooted P970 (android 2.3): after installing an update, the system only boots into ClockworkMod, rebooting from there only goes into the CWM Recovery again. Holding VOL-UP when the phone is connected to the computer and even holding HOME+VOL-DOWN will boot the CWM. VOL-UP within CWM doesn't work as well. Factory Reset and installing a ROM from CWM doesn't make a difference either.

So we tried to install a firmeware via SmartFlash (V20N). But the problem is that the COM-port only appears for few seconds until the CMW is completely booted, than it vanishes again. So we really have now idea what to do next.

Thanks for your help!
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
You need to pull out the battery, insert it again,

DONT

POWER ON THE PHONE! Now hold VOL+ Button, then plug in the USB cable and you should see the software update screen, then use smartflash. OR in CWM, wipe data, cache, in advanced wipe dalvik, try to install a custom ROM like boype's CM7 kang, have fun ;)
