Even though this worked for me, you should still do this at your own risk....I'm not an expert, I just got lucky.

1. Get Android SDK & the official Acer USB Drivers http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html & http://support.acer.com/product/default.aspx?modelId=4318

2. Unlock the bootloader: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1710755

3. Install Clockwork Recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1791165

- I had to install this (6.0.1.4) recovery.img using the BAT file from this post. IMPORTANT! DO NOT INSTALL THE recovery.img FROM THAT (5.5.0.4) LINK! It will brick you. Replace it with the one from the first thread above ( CWM v.6.0.1.4).

4. Download the appropriate FULL ROM for your device. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1720157

5. Follow the directions in this link. If you can't get update.zip to run from an external SD (I couldn't) then try it from the root directory of your internal SD. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1812635

After you've done it all, be sure to choose "NO" when you reboot the system from CWM, otherwise CWM is still going to be there and you're probably going to be unable to get future updates.

It took me about two hours of trial and error to figure all this out, and in the end my bootloader was relocked, my root was unrooted, and I was on stock 1.0.29 and able to get OTA updates.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bidniss:
Thanks!

Thanks! I was able to get the 1.0.29 flashed back and have stock bootloader with no root. I did NOT install CWM because I am going to wait for JB before I do any root or recovery modes. I am looking to try to find the Acer ROM AV043.RV23RC03_PA_CUS1 ROM because it was what I had on the tablet and was an update over 1.0.29. If you know where I can get it, I would appreciate it. I can't find it anywhere!- Thanks again! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phr33dom:
I've got one of those Chinese X310e phones (similar to Zopo ZP100) that came loaded with a default wallpaper (see attached image showing part of it) and I want to transfer this wallpaper to another android ICS phone.

This default wallpaper is built into the ROM and not in the wallpaper gallery that came with the phone. If I change the default wallpaper the only way I know of reverting to the default paper is by doing a factory reset. I've googled trying to find (using Root Explorer) where this default wallpaper is hidden in the ROM but can't find it. Googling does not help as it seems that the default wallpaper is in a different file location for different phones.

Does anyone know where I can download it, where it is hidden in my ROM or does anybody have it in their wallpaper gallery?

Help appreciated...

[Eee Pad Transformer General] rhlee:
As CWM doesn't have access to the external sdcard on the tf101, I wanted to make sure I could upload a zip update in case I bricked it.

So what I did was create a 192mb ext4 image on my laptop with a cm9-stable on it and sent it through nvflash.

I am now stuck with internal storage at 192mb. I can't format it from using an external mkfs.ext4 from un update zip as, the zip itself in within the /data partition, so /data will not unmount. Also the "format /data" entry seems to do nothing.

I would like to try and avoid uploading 16GB for zero filled data through nvflash. I think it took a good few minutes to upload the 192mb. I can't image how long 16gb would take.

If anyone knows of a way to sort this out let me know.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rhlee:
It also hangs after 1.3 gb using nvflash
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rhlee:
Changed recovery to TWRP which allowed for external sdcard mouting. Ran zip from there.

Thank you based TWRP.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldcaffeine:
I've noticed two bugs with Swype on the Kindle Fire HD. Anyone else noticed these and have a workaround?

1. When using the Amazon apps, like the book store, Swype does not correctly fill text boxes, like the search field. The default keyboard and other keyboards where you select one key at a time work fine. But with Swype or Slide It you have to do double duty, selecting the letter, then confirming the letter in the autocomplete field for each and every letter. If you Swype out a whole word you have to confirm it in the autocomplete field, but then it only inserts the first letter into the text box. This problem seems exclusive to the Amazon apps.

2. In landscape mode the menu bar cuts off some of the keyboard on the right side. This appears to be a problem with all third-party keyboards.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
2. Yeah, noticed that. KFHD is made to use its own keyboard. That is why Amazon made it a PITA to install and use others. I noticed landscape problems with SlideIT also but at least they let you adjust the size of the keyboard. One of the reasons why I sent mine back.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dotvezz:
How do you get an alternative keyboard to work in the first place? I can't figure out how to enable SwiftKey...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
You can only do it on a rooted device and I didn't find SlideIT to be very stable. It was OK at first then it would randomly quit on me. The thread is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1898390

Its done on your own risk, it can cause annoying force close issues and installing it again normally fixes it but the KFHD likes to be finicky.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varlokkur:
aklemist and others who have successfully installed alternative keyboards-- have you guys upgraded to the latest firmware? I just upgraded to 7.2.3 and in the process, I have screwed up my swype license. I guess now that the stock keyboard is swype-based, there was some conflict with the files or something. Now whenever I try to type anything on my kindle, I get a pop up message saying "Application not licensed. This version of Swype has an invalid license and will operate with limited functionality. Beta users, please run the installer again. All others, contact Swype."

Anyone have a workaround? I don't yet have root reinstalled, and my options are limited since I have no way to type *anything* right now.
[HTC One X] superdude3:
ok so this may sound strange but my phone will not boot up. i have tried flashing different roms and always their boot images via fastboot right after i instal the rom. Right now my device boots up and shows the splash screen and then imediately boots into bootloader mode. i got to this problem by restoring a previous backup and then flashing its boot.img.

can anyone help me or tell me whats going on?!

it would be much appreciated!!! right now im out of a phone.:confused:
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Erase the dalvik cache from recovery. Also something else you need to do, but I forgot what.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcall_r:
So I was applying my xtremeguard wet screen protector today on my TF300.

I tried to use as less water as possible, and squeezing the water out towards the edges, and collecting the residue with a microfiber towel.

About half an hour later, I turned it on, and the touch screen didnt appear to work, will it was working if I pressed like 10 times on the 1 spot, but it wasnt very responsive. Turned it off again for a little while and went to turn it back on now and it is not powering on :(

When I plug into charge the orange charge light does not appear on the power button, only on the dock. It appears to be completely dead...

I tried holding the power button for more than 60 seconds, still nothing.

I even took off the back to see if there was any water under there, but nothing, completely dry.

Can anyone tell me what my best plan of action is?

If I take it back to the retailer they only offer a repair since it is outside of 28 days of purchase, and even then thats likely to take weeks :@

Cheers guys
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nooktablet:
i guess the water somehow went inside the tablet, looks like the way asus glues the tablet with the screen (at the edges) are bad, i feel like you can easily let water go inside it. so... i know you were careful, but...

you don't see water in there, you see it's dry, well because it got dry, remember just a little water can cause electronics to die

i hope you can return it and get a new one :), or maybe you could try leave it there for a few days, then try to turn it back on again

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcall_r:
Hi all, it is working! :D

In my desperation, I removed the back cover from the device, and placed the whole tab in a casserole dish filled with rice overnight... After I came back to it and tried to switch it on, it would still not switch on.

That was it, I was at the end of my tether and was just about to put the back cover back on and take it back to the retailer for an exchange/repair. I noticed that there were a couple grains of rice underneath the gold cover on the back with the small yellow warranty sticker on it.

I shook the device from side to side to try and get the rice out (not a good idea leaving that in there if it was going back for repair) and the bloody gold cover came off, along with halfing the warranty sticker in 2 :( at this point I was about to cry because I knew i'd never get it repaired now.

Low and behold when the gold cover came off I noticed the connector that connects the battery to the motherboard. Curious, I unplugged it for a second and plugged it back in then tried to power the tab on.....

IT WORKED! :D

It may have just been a case of the battery shorted out with that little drop of water and it needed to be disconnected and reconnected before it allowed power on again to the rest of the components..

So its back together and everything is working fine now, charging and everything :D

Hey guys,

My E4GT is absolutely refusing to connect to 3G - it will connect to 1X, 4G, and wifi fine. I've tried connecting with 3 different modems as well as 3 different ROMs (1 JB, 2 ICS), and I've also tried updating my Profile, etc. I know it's not an issue with service in my area because I have other phones that can connect just fine.

So what do you think? Is my phone's 3G radio shot or is there something I can do?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thejvicari:
I assume you've updated the PRL as well? This is what tells your phone which towers to get it's signals from. Could possibly be the phone. Also try turning Airplane mode on, then off again. If this doesn't fix the problem, I would make a call to Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
Try going back to gingerbread, el29 rom and modem . See what you get. I think that the radio or phone are OK, if the radio stops working you get nothing, no Wi-Fi, 4g, Bluetooth or 1x. If the radio is out its like airplane mode.

I've already searched this forum on my topic, but most of them don't exactly answer my question/s on Unrooting.

I'd appreciate if someone helped me out, b/c I really need my phone in the original condition.

I have the Baseband Version: T999VVLLE6 that's rooted, and I downloaded the stock 4.0.4 T999VVLLE6 from Samsung Updates.

I was planning on simply flashing the stock rom using the pc version of ODIN ------- Is there anything else I should be aware of?

Do I need to remove Super User before I flash the phone with the original ROM?

Thanks in advance.

PS: I used the triangle away app to reset my counter to 0 and it changed from Device Status: modified to Device Status: scanning and back to Device Status: Modified. Should I reset it again?

msoren8 provided a perfect link. Followed the procedure and the phone is in Normal status and also used Triangle away option before flushing it to the Samsung stock rom, This step was really important for me since it eliminated Custom Binary download: Yes (1 count) message, just to be safe once i sent the phone though warranty process. Everything went fine and with no glitches.

Thx for the help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] x3malex:
I was following that guide in the first place :) . Resetting the phone worked like a charm, fixed everything. So the steps were, flash stock ROM via PC Odin, then wipe phone because it still had apps like super user (which wouldn't work anymore after flashing) and triangle away. Now even Device Status is "Normal".

PS: as a side note I just got a ~80 mb update which changed my version from T999VVLLE6 to T999VLLH2 but the Android Version is still 4.0.4, anyone know if that's jelly bean? I have the ability to change my brightness from the drop-down menu now and the keyboard looks slightly different...

There are other alternatives to Myfiles I use Astro or Root Explorer and find them much better.

Myfiles is annoying Samsung bloatware in my opinion
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
1.

Myfiles.apk is a system application and wont install like a normal app.

You need to copy it to /system/app and then set the permissions to rw-r-r (644) using a root capable file manager like Solid explorer and Es file manager (both free)

There also very good and probably much better alternatives in Playstore.

2.

I don't use Touchwiz UX but it may be a bug in the ported launcher since it was not originally meant for our phone.

there are very good alternative launchers too in the playstore. You can even apply Touchwiz UX theme to most of those launchers. Apex, Nova, Holo launcher HD and Go launcher Ex, are good examples
