[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonewolf40:
(FYI, this is my first android device so i'm a noob to this world, but I have some experience in the iphone jbreaking)

SITUATION: Ok, so I picked up a TF300 US model, with ICS 9.4.3.17 on it. Reading up all over the forums for help and did the following: used sparky's guide and used the Sparkyroot.apk tool, along with Superused.apk and VoodooOTArootkeeper, and it worked great! Thanks to the "Allaboutandroids dotcom" youtube user guide.

My plan is to stay on stock OS. I do NOT want to unlock. (keep warranty and such)

I'm into retro gaming mostly and I don't think I need custom ROMS to enjoy most apps. I would like to moderately overclock the CPU, if that's available without unlocking.

THREE QUESTIONS:

1. So i'm reading that to do the future updates and eventually JBean, that I need to let it do the OTA (that's the tablet requesting to update without me manually selecting it right?) and I will lose root, but SHOULD be able to restore it, without unlocking correct?

2. HOW/WHERE is my root backed up to and how can I extract it to my PC, in case I need to copy it back over after an update. (I have a microsd card in the tf300 as well)

3. Before I do an OTA update, should I do anything?

4. Can I somehow just jump to the latest JB update, or does the tablet need to do incremental updates starting with 9.4.3.18 (or whatever is after .17)

Thanks again for any advice forum people. Regarding question 3. I hear people saying I need to do stuff in Voodoo AND/OR install SuperSU. (Not just Superuser.apk

Great forum and helped my decision to get one of these. Just hoping now I can get my wife to stop nagging me for not getting a 2.5X as $$$ iPad! :P (under $250 for NEW TF300 16gb. Yay!)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonewolf40:
So just as an update, I ran root checker and everything is good and in green. I have superuser installed but NOT SuperSU (I guess it's one or the other but not both, and i'm not sure what the difference is between them)

But when I go to update superuser binaries, it fails at the first step (downloading manifest) every time. I have shut down/restarted so that's not it.

I also ran superuser update fixer 1.2, and it says that everything is fine.

I read that binaries should be updated before allowing an OS update so any thoughts on next steps? The goal is to get jellybean up and running and NOT permanently lose my root. (while still keeping the bootloader unlocked, which it currently is)

I've hooked it up via usb to laptop and gone to the googleplay store and found superuser (in case I had a old version) but it always states "This application is not compatible with your TF300 device" and refuses to install it that way. Could try hunting on the net for a loose .apk version of it, if that's what I need.

Thanks!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
Just get supersu (a lot more reliable than superuser) and run it right after installing, it will update the binaries. Then make sure your root is backed up with ota rootkeeper. Once you have done those things you can update through the notification on the pad. I'm not sure if the updates are incremental, but they might be, so just in case between each update restore root with ota rootkeeper run supersu and reboot before going to next update, also always make sure your root is backed up. Good luck, once you are on jb there's no way on getting rooted without unlocking as of yet, so I repeat myself make sure your root is backed up wit ota rootkeeper and you have supersu before updating.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonewolf40:
Thanks jgaf for the help!

So when I do the "backup" with rootkeeper, it's actually 'saving' the root but temporarily turning it off right? And doing an update doesn't wipe my device, so rootkeeper SHOULD be there correct? So to do a system update (when I click on the bottom right and see the brightness adjust and enable wifi, etc, there is a message saying a system update is available. That is the OTA update correct? Before I do that, I need to run rootkeeper and click the "temp save root", and it basically turns off root access but saves it from being wiped off with the new update right?

I've read that some people say to activate some optional "prevent root loss due to update" feature on Superuser. Does supersu have/need that?

And last, if I switch from Superuser to SuperSU, how do I safely switch over? Do I delete Superuser, and then download/install superSU, or install both on the device and then do some kinda remove or update?

I read that by doing the update methods you decscibed, I can basically keep my root on jellybean without being unlocked. (but it's tricky and some users lose the root regardless) Guess there's not one 100% "rooted and locked" foolproof method yet. :p
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonewolf40:
So far this method is working but i've only had one OTA update offered and that bumped it from .17 - .30. So that's not JellyBean yet. Hopefully the rootkeeper and supersu reapplying method will continue to work like this. Thanks!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
You don't really need to temp unroot for updates, just make sure that everything is checked in rootkeeper. Sorry I took so long to answer, but those switching from superuser to supersu you need to install supersu and run it before removing superuser.

Galaxy players do not show up in the list of devices in rom manager. Anybody know if I can choose a different, or close enough phone model so that I can flash cwm touch recovery? Afraid to try, cause this has brick written all over it!

I've only known of getting recovery through a kernel or rom on this device.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] stylemate:
uhh... i would recommend you to not to download anything and install from Rom Manager. It will be soft-bricked for sure and maybe hard-bricked.

Samsung Galaxy S is the closest model to SGP5.0 but i can guarantee you that it will not work when you install gt-i9000 kernel by Rom Manager.

Personally, I don't really see the use of Rom Manager on YP-G70 because i'm not a dev and i don't flash roms as often as i used to before.

Just use Entropy's or Rumirand's kernel for CWM recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] annoyingduck:
That's what I figured. No touch recovery for me! Oh well.

I'm a crack flasher, can't live without it on my galaxy S3. Would love it on my gp5.0. Touch is not for ameatures, so the mistake aspect of it is irrelevant.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
No, guaranteed brickage.

The reason is that instead of having a kernel and ramdisk for recovery and another for normal booting, the sgp has just one for both, and it checks for a file to tell it to enter recovery. So using rom manager will not only break recovery, but normal booting too.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3bs11:
So I have an international GS3 and I've tried stock, CM9, AOKP and Paranoid Android and on all of them the call forwarding icon in the notification bar stays there even though I can receive calls on my number. I checked with my carrier and they say call forwarding isn't on. I tried doing a factory wipe/reset to no avail. I'm not sure what else to try and do. I popped my SIM into my old 4S and the call forwarding icon showed up but I can turn it off in the settings but when I put it back in my GS3 it's still there. I tried a different sim card and no issues.

Edit: thanks to this thread I managed to fix this. I just put a number for it to forward to (even though it wasn't actually forwarding to any number) then I disabled it and it's gone. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1216643
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihaelb:
Did the upgrade to Jelly Bean a few days back, while call forwarding was enabled (not sure if this is what caused it). Now, the "forwarding all calls" notification is always on.

I turn forwarding on and off every day, but the notification doesn't go away. Tried to use an app that uses the MMI code method, tried to remove all the forwarding options and put them back on, no dice.

Going into the settings themselves, everything works as it should, and I can turn forwarding on and off (and it works as expected). It's just the notification :rolleyes:

Did everything but wipe my phone. Call forwarding shows up even without a SIM card in the phone.

Any suggestions? Anyone else get this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rltaylor79109:
I have the identical situation - upgrade to 4.1, icon stays on, tried the same things to remove it as you describe, icon never goes away. No help from AT&T or Samsung. I have been unable to find a solution.
[Trophy General] thals1992:
I bought this phone three months ago knowing WP8 was coming out soon. :crying:

I see the XevRev for Spark_W stuff, radio collecctions, tons of custom rom stuff, and etc, but I'm at the point where I'm utterly confused at what it what.

I guess I'm asking where I should start?

Here is what I think might be relevant:

OS Ver: 7.10.8773.98

FW Ver: 2305.13.30202.605

HW Rev: 0003

Radio SW Ver: 1.43.00.06.14_23.17w.05.13U

Radio HW Ver: 3.2.3.D4

Bootloader Ver:3.2.230513.2

Changed DUN NAI from dun.vzw3g.com to vzw3g.com

Just got my dev unlock through dreamspark.
[Trophy General] TheXev:
Well, dev unlock is really unnecessary if you plan on installing an HSPL and flashing a custom rom. Then again, your OS version of 8773.98 suggest that you are running DFT or ansar's rom, but didn't install HSPL (only RSPL to flash the rom). Even with the official rom, your OS level should be 8779.8 after updating via Zune.

First, if you REALLY want to unlock the power of this phone, install HSPL using my HSPL guide for SparkW. It explains every step in detail so you can be ready to flash a custom rom.

Second, give my SparkW rom XevRev a shot for a great Tango experience. Just flash the rom, then update via Zune after setting up the phone to get the newest radio installed. It has FullUnlock and Root Tools, and is the only rom currently around that allows for the phone to be fully programmed using *228 (older roms have an older Xap Deployer package that didn't allow the programing tools to be installed).

You can ignore the radio thread and the "stock like" threads because the contents of those are now outdated with my rom being out.

Get 10+ post under your belt and you can reply to dev forum topics. I'm working on a 7.8 rom, but I won't be able to test it until my third Spark_W comes tomorrow and I transplant a digitizer into it. Maybe since I'm taking it apart I'll also upgrade the SD Card on that one too? (I don't want to flash my primary phone since it's too much of a pain to get reinstalled when I need it for an alarm clock.

Before you flash another rom though, I want to ask you a few things. Do you have Unlimited data via Verizon, and if not, what plan do you have? Also, is tethering working for you NOW before flashing my rom simply by doing the dun nai change? The dun nai change should only be necessary for Unlimited data users.
[Trophy General] thals1992:
I'm using factory updates. All I know is that I have my phone updated as far as I can through Zune.

We just switched from AT&T to Verizon, due to the lack of any signal across the entire house. When we went into the store they had to have their manager bring the phone all the way from Kentucky. Anyways, they had just started to push the share everything plan, but the reps acted like they weren't comfortable with those plans yet. I have a 2gb a month, but I called verizon and they disabled the DUN for my phone (as I didn't want charged one of the wifi access fees) When I enabled the wifi after I called them I got a webpage showing I could re-enable it for the $30.

I tried to do the Interop_Unlock but that seemed to not work. But I might as well wait for your 7.8 then.
[Trophy General] TheXev:
Yeah, Interop is a pain to do unless you are running Mango v1. You could factory downgrade to do it.. but its really a big pain.

I'm aiming to have 7.8 and international language roms out by Sunday, work is guna make it difficult. Are you able to use tethering with the dun nai changed though? I'm curious because other users with metered data plans were still having issues.

If you can't use tethering even with the dun nai changed, try deploying JerryJiang's Tethering unlocker for Verizon Trophy. If you still can't tether, I think I know a final adjustment that may need to be made, and you could be a helpful test subject since JerryJiang sent me his apps source code. After I get the details sorted, I can apply the fix directly into my rom without a need for an app (and create a rom package for others to cook into their roms).
[Trophy General] thals1992:
Tethering works with the internet sharing in settings. I have no issues what so ever.

I'll beta test if needed. (If it says anything im running win8x86 rtm kinda as my main os)

EDIT

Just saw how big RUU_Spark_W_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.04.605.02_Radio_NV_021 5_NV58008_RELEASE is. I have hughesnet and a 500mb daily cap. I'll have to wait till I'm at my grandparents(I'm 19) where dsl is king tomorrow. lol
[Trophy General] TheXev:
That is the rom for flashing back to stock. You'll need the older rom in the HSPL thread to downgrade the bootloader. Get both roms and back them up if bandwidth is a problem.
[Trophy General] thals1992:
So, I finally got to download the RUU_Spark_W_VERIZON_WWE_1.03.605.22_RS0512_2K_4K_hybrid_new_partition_RELEASE and I got it to flash the phone, but now when I try to flash using [ROM_SPARKW][TheXev]XevRev_Beta1a_8835 the phone gets stuck at 0%. I can follow the instructions shown on the program, but it seems to get stuck at the same place.

I can just unplug the phone and turn it back on and i can get calls in the meantime, but it seems I can't proceed.

I tried the dft rom aswell, but it shows the following:

[Error Description]:

Invalid ModelID. This means that your phone not supported.
This installer supports only limited number of the phones.
SPARK, MOZART, MONDRIAN, GOLD, SCHUBERT.
If you have phone from this list, but still have this error, please contact with DFT team.

[Info]: USBWorkRSPL.cpp (235)

[Error Description]:

ModelID is 'PC402000'. Please report this info to DFT.

[Info]: USBWorkRSPL.cpp (234)
[Trophy General] TheXev:
You need to install HSPL before you can flash a custom rom. After downgrading the bootloader to 1.3, you can then install HSPL. Follow my guide here for complete instructions, step by step.
[Trophy General] thals1992:
GOT IT!

I finally got it to work! Thanks for the help. I had to find the DFT_XSPL_WP7FG3 that I had downloaded a month ago. The DFT HSPL thread didn't seem to have the file anymore.... When I found that rar, it worked perfectly; I'm now running your 7.8 rom!

I'm still unsure how the WM Device Center actually works, but I'll have to take that up with ultrashot. It seems to work intermittently, I can browse all the files on the phone with the pc that I first set it up with, but all it seems to do on my other pc is just show "error" instead of "not connected."

Its probably because I was trying to do all this on Win8x86.
[Trophy General] TheXev:
First start Zune, then WMDC will start working!
[Trophy General] thals1992:
That did the trick. Been using it for a while now. THe only issues I've had has been with GPSKit Tether. MS Streets and Trips doesn't think that the data is NMEA 2.0 compatable, I can open terminal on the port being used, and it shows data.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NextGenROM:
I came across the same issue! Your best bet is to flash back to a different ROM (if on your SD card). My device with that ROM installed opened as a disk drive that said 'Galaxy S2 SGH-T989". But if not working for you then you need to flash back to a different ROM or take a micro-sd adapter and put the ROM on your SD card. If you are doing this internally then use ODIN to flash back stock and then use it to root it again!

Hope this helped :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cheloPR:
yeah...:( i give up buddy... i gone go back to CM9, but you are running AOKP JB and is running fine??? how do you installed?

I have some issues with my newly bought G-tablet.

I have rooted it with the DRH Jelly Bean which is working good, but i have some issues.

1) It sometimes lags a lot. Do you know any tweaks?

2) I'm having some trouble with Google Now. When i use it i just get a normal Google search layout.. Not the Google Now layout.

3) I think that the text on the tablet i pretty ogly and it seems like it's in very low res. Is that just the way it is or is their a fix?

Hi! I'm new here. I'm from Bulgaria but I'll be in Serbia for a couple of months.

I have a problem with my location (almost everyday). When I bought my Nexus in August (in Bulgaria) I didn't have that problem, but when I came in Belgrade, Serbia my location is not accurate. It's really strange, everyday I make hundreds of kilometers, and my favorite destination is New Delhi, India. My record is 58 336km and I just made it within a few hours without leaving my house. Yesterday I saw that I'm in Belgrade area (where I live) on the map, but above my picture it says New Delhi, and GNow shows me what's the weather in India. I don't know what's the problem. I know that GPS is not alwaya accurate, but that much? GPS system is the same in every country, it's not something on the ground, it's in space! I feel like I'm underground or in space, it is not normal... I'm in Europe, in Belgrade area... and Serbia is not Iran. Here are some examples:

Belgrade, Serbia

Burgas, Bulgaria

I think it's enough. I'm using Internet through my SIM card and not thorough wireless connection. I'm sorry if I have some mistakes, I'm writing this topic thorough my Nexus. I'm sorry if there's something wrong with bb codes etc, if someone of you is moderator, fix the mistakes :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
Well, I believe Google Maps uses 3 sources of information to determine your location, which are cell tower location, GPS location and WiFi network location. Even if you are not connected to a WiFi network, it still scans local WiFi hotspots for location information if you have WiFi turned on. It is possible that there is a rogue cell tower or WiFi network in your area that is broadcasting bad location data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
WiFi network's don't broadcast any location data. Google just builds a database of access points and correlates them with location data acquired by GPS or cell towers. If someone moved and so there WiFi access point is at a different location that could throw things off, but I imagine it wouldn't take long for the access points location to get updated in Google's database.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msmilanov:
So, the problem is not from my phone or GPS system, but from cell towers? Sounds logical. I am disappointed, because I can't do anything to fix it. I will probably continue to go around the world from my house, and visit my cousins in New Delhi everyday...
