[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vibraloop:
Hey everyone!

This is my very first " decent" post on xda even tho i do browse alot and read.

in ex when i rooted and changed roms to test out in my galaxy gio.. this place is truly a lifesaver and essence of everything what android is about.

now here is my deal.

recently ive ordered my usa imported nexus 7 from the swedish bazula.se

and was happy and everything. ive been reading alot about freezes and screenproblems, luckely i have not had those problems.. however,

yesterday ive decided to unlock and rood my n7 with the Nexus root toolkit v1.5.3.

installed the pda drivers and it all went well indeed without any problems.

exept now afterwards when everything went crazy.

after rooting, i couldnt open my f-secure mobile security app, no error msgs nothing,

also, as soon as started superuser app, it did quit after a second.

youtube videos are impossible to watch, it would stop the videos every 3 seconds. same with the games. freezes a second and meanwhile freazing, it brought up the game manu.. so impossible to play.

now, by that time it was really frustating and ive decided to install JB 4.1.2 that just got spitted out as a msg from the system that its avaiable.

root access was still there after the upgrade but in functionallity, no different, my problems did remained as above.

so i decided to do a factory reset. and problems still did remain.. so did the root. finally i did unroot the phone and reinstalled JRO03D and everything works again.. so does anyone of ya any idea wtf was going on? what could be the problem?

now should i try to update again to 4.1.2 without root?

thnks in advance

I had this problem and discovered the solution was two fold. Firstly I have to make sure I add a subject to my text and that it has no punctuation in it. If it still fails it's often because the image is too large. This usually occurs when I send from the gallery instead of creating the text and then adding the photo from within the text app. I also often have more luck with go messenger than the stock app. I'm still on the stock gingerbread ROM with O2. Hopefully this may help someone!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Frostbiter:
So I am running a fresh install of FreeGS3 0.2.0 and I tried installing Swiftkey 3 from the Amazon appstore as I had before when I was stock. Whenever I try to setup the keyboard I just get a black screen and then it force closes. I am not sure what is happening I deleted every trace of it off my SD card and re-installed and such but it still won't work, I even re-installed the rom.

If anyone has any information I would be grateful.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
Did you wipe data when you installed the rom? SwiftKey 3 works for me. Though I tend to use Swype more.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WHYDavid:
I'm using SwiftKey 3 from the Amazon Appstore to type this using my SGSIII. It's the first app I install (after the Appstore) with every new ROM I flash. Haven't had any issues with it at all. And it certainly isn't broken.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Compusmurf:
Maybe it wasn't when you installed it....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SJUnion:
I also have this problem with Swiftkey 3 from the Amazon App store...so yeah the one from the Amazon App store is broken. I had to resort to running the old Swiftkey. I hope they fix it soon. If not I'll havee to buy it from the Google store and you can bet Ill never use the Amazon app again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WHYDavid:
The last time I installed it was 3 days ago. I always install everything fresh when flashing instead of from backups. It's the most recent version that is available on Amazon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SJUnion:
I don't know how many days its been but its certainly been at least two for me. You mind uninstalling it and reinstalling it? Its been broken for me for days and Ive flashed CM10, Liquid Smooth, Clean ROM and even stock. Then back again to CM10.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WHYDavid:
Hmmm. I uninstalled and re-downloaded and it didn’t work. Backed it up prior to un installing. Restored backup and it works. Version number is identical to the version number on Amazon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
I am also having this issue with the amazon version...its a known issue according to the swiftkey support thread
[HTC EVO 3D] Cyber Akuma:
Ok, so I have been looking for days on what to do, I want to make sure I don't screw up.

I have been reading this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1817513

When I press Power + VolDown I can see it say "H-Boot 1.5.0000" so I assume this means I have 1.5 and not 1.58 or whatever right?

So then according to that, I can only use a ICS rom if I have hboot 1.58 right? And the only exploit that turns Hboot to fully S-OFF so I can flash both custom roms AND radios runs on 1.40 right?

So basically,... I need to purposely make my phone fail a flash and brick it on PURPOSE (I am really REALLY worried about this) and make it kick into an emergency boot flash mode, use a specially designed Linux BootCD to flash hboot 1.40, hack 1.40 after installing it to turn S-OFF, and then upgrade to hboot 1.58, keeping S-OFF that way, right?

Is there any way some app or update or whatever can turn S-ON back again? Or will it be permanently S-OFF once I do this?

Will any of the internal or SD memory be wiped if I do this? Can I do the temp-root method first to use titanium backup just in case it wipes my data before I try to brick it?

I know bricking is a pretty nasty thing, have there been people who permanently bricked it like this? How will I know when to fail the flashing process?

And I am assuming that since this entails flashing an upgrade then making it fail, I am only going to have one shot at this aren't I?

I wish this wasn't so risky...
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
If the downgrade method seems risky, you could try the JuopunutBear (wire trick) method to gain S-OFF. I have a guide thread here that outlines a pretty simple process to get root and S-OFF.

If you are concerned about the wire trick, read through the tips and references for Step3 of that guide. Many people have used that method to gain S-OFF on the Evo 3D and other phones, and I have yet to hear of a confirmed report that it damaged a phone. It may corrupt the SD card used during the process, but that can easily be restored.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] Cyber Akuma:
I looked into that, but it says flashing a stock hboot would re-lock it, plus it needs me to do the HTC Unlock first meaning i would lose the information on my phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] kevin130:
I used the wire trick. Easiest thing in the world. I personally used the wires in a USB cable and it worked fine. it took only 3 or 4 tries and BAMN! your s-off.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cyber Akuma:
But will I be able to upgrade to hboot 1.58 while keeping s-off with the wire trick? And will it work for radios too?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Actually, flashing the RUU (Step1) requires relocking the bootloader if it's currently unlocked (which it sounds like you are not), and the wire trick (Step3) requires being HTC unlocked, which you need for rooting (Step2) as well.

Just backup the information on your phone using MyBackup or an equivalent app and restore it after you have S-OFF. I believe that was mentioned in the guide.

There is currently no way to get root or S-OFF on the Evo 3D without resetting your phone, since the HTC unlock does that and the hboot downgrade requires flashing an RUU that will reset everything to stock. If backing up and restoring your apps and data seems difficult to you then you are probably better off staying with a stock configuration and hope you don't damage or lose your phone.

If you follow the guide exactly as it is written you will wind up with the current Sprint ICS (2.89.651.2) firmware, and the JuopunutBear 1.58.5858 bootloader which is a modified version of the 1.58 hboot that allows more fastboot commands. You will be rooted with a radio S-OFF status, and can flash whatever hboot, recovery, ROM and kernel you want.

It's really pretty easy, and you are making it more complicated than it needs to be. If you want to do it, backup your phone and SD card and follow the guide. If not, just be happy that the Evo 3D is a pretty nice phone in its stock configuration. :)

ramjey73
[HTC EVO 3D] Cyber Akuma:
My ultimate goal is to have this thing fully S-OFF and running a rooted stock Sprint ICS firmware (At least for now, I will use a custom rom someday down the road), is that stock rom you mentioned rooted?

And I never heard of that backup app, pretty sure you need root access in order to backup everything, I want all of my apps and their settings backed up too, not just stuff like my contacts (useless since gmail syncs them anyway) and texts.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You can check the backup apps, including MyBackup, on the Google Play Store. Like I said, you might be better off just staying with a stock configuration since my guide does exactly what you are asking for via a procedure that is as simpified as I can make it. Maybe someone else can offer you what you are looking for, but there is no "one click" root and S-OFF for the Evo 3D that maintains all your data, apps and settings, so you may be searching for a long time.

Good luck!

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] Cyber Akuma:
One-click isn't what I'm looking for, its not that the procedure is complicated to me so much as I have a choice between either a very risky method or a method that is safe but will make me lose data and corrupt my SD. I mean, I can backup my SD, but I also want to backup my internal memory too.

I remember hearing that there was a method to gain temporary root without erasing anything, it would go away on the next reboot. if I can do that I can at least back up the data first.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
AFAIK, there's no temporary root that works on the Evo 3D. Someone posted one here that works on the Sensation, but it was tested and didn't work on the Evo 3D. Apparently you can only run ADB commands with that even on the Sensation, so that wouldn't help you much.

It's really not a big deal to restore your apps and contacts from Google if you choose that option in the privacy settings, and you shouldn't have to worry about email. In the worst case you might lose some text messages if you are not using Google Voice, but there are non-rooted apps that will back those up as well. You will have to reconfigure your home screens and enter a few userid's and passwords, but that doesn't take much effort.

I really don't understand what is holding you back, but that's your choice. I'm not going to try to convince you anymore given the type of reservations you are expressing.

Edit1: Just out of curiosity, how do you backup your phone now? How would you recover your data, apps and settings if your phone got lost, stolen or had to be replaced? If you can answer that, it may be the solution to how you can approach getting root and S-OFF.

Edit2: Here's a temp root procedure that might work with the hboot 1.5 (assuming you are on GB build 2.17.651.5) that you have now. I've never used it myself so if you have questions or problems you will need to contact the OP of that thread. I know this and other temp root procedures have not worked with the Sprint ICS build (2.89.651.2) because the exploit used has been patched.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
Ramjet is the master, google is your friend but with 40 different explanations you are going to get confused with google, If your have any reservations do not unlock nor root your phone. Ramjet has been around for a very long time, he absolutely knows all the ins an outs in regards to the evo, android and rooting. With any new process there's always a learning curve and always the possibility of bricking your phone. The decision must be yours , good luck.

( Don't ask me for help, as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!!!)
[HTC EVO 3D] Cyber Akuma:
I DON'T have a current backup method (other than what Google syncs) that's why I want to do a backup first. I know my purchases are stored on my Google account, but I have multiple Android devices and my apps are split between them, if I just hit download all it would fill myemory with junk apps. There are many apps on my phone and I doubt I would remember them all. However, the main reason is that I want to backup their data and settings, that's more important than backing up the apps themselves for me.

My phone is thankfully still on stock Gingerbread.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
If you are going to try the "tacoroot" temp root method, you should be aware of this post by coal686 in response to my posting possible temp root methods in my root and S-OFF guide thread.

Good luck!

[HTC Rezound] madsc13n41s4:
This is a simple mod for CM9 users who love using their Rezounds without SD cards.

It simply swaps the mount points for SDCARD and EMMC.

It was created to that when I use Chrome on my Rezound without an SD card it will have a cozy spot of memory to download to. I imagine it fixes storage issues in other apps and system aspects, too. Just as, this has only been tested on unmodified, unofficial CM9 for the Rezound, however I imagine it will work with CM9 kangs, too.
[HTC Rezound] scy1192:
You could've probably made a symlink to give Chrome more space to download to
[HTC Rezound] madsc13n41s4:
What space would that be? I don't want/like using an SD card with my Rezound because I just don't need that much space. Chrome automagically downloads to /mnt/sdcard/downloads. I probably could have created a symlink, but instead of step by step instructions for everyone just decided to make a flashable zip. Saves me the trouble of recreating symlinks when I flash the latest CM9 ROM.

Hello there !

I have a XPU witch is sim-locked to Orange UK and I need to unlock it.

If someone had such an experience and managed to unlock it successfully, please share with witch site, how much did you pay and how many keys did you receive (SIM, network, corporate...).

Actually any info about this manner would be of help, if you'd like to share. I've searched the threads and there are several posts (maybe 3) about people that did it but they all point to different sites. I would like to know if there are at least two members here witch used the same :) Or even better, maybe an alternative :laugh:

[Thunderbolt General] vashts80:
I wanted to thank the developers of MR3 in this thread. Liquid, Jester, etc.

I'm a long time lurker of this forum since I got my Thunderbolt. I'm VERY VERY appreciative of the developers for creating a very functional ICS rom for the Thunderbolt. Shame on HTC and Verizon for sandbagging so long with what should be a very simple upgrade for them. I was running Thundershed for awhile but grew tired of the Gingerbread look and feel of Android. My friends all mostly have newer phones with ICS, and I couldn't believe that it was supposed to be out in August and it's now mid-October and it's still not out.

To my surprise, I log on to here and see that an ICS ROM had been released.

My only issues with this ROM are random restarts and the white screen error in Facebook/Gmail/etc. I don't really use the video camera much in general; could you use an aftermarket app, or is it broken period?

Otherwise, I absolutely LOVE this and will never go back to Verizon's bloated software. Even when an OTA is released with ICS I won't go back. My phone is running much faster and much better than with Sense and Gingerbread. With data off I had a 10% decrease in battery in 7 hours; with data on and normal use I'll get maybe 5 hours out of a charge on this ROM. About normal for this phone and it's absolutely terrible battery life with the stock battery.

I have it overclocked to 1.5ghz running interactiveX as my governor. It runs beautifully, other than those two minor issues I pointed out above. I haven't experienced any data drops or anything out of the sort like that.
[Thunderbolt General] RBarnett09:
I second this thread.

A major thanks goes out to all of you who develop, in any way, for the Thunderbolt community. This even includes testers.

To answer your questions...

The video and front camera are broken even with an aftermarket app and will remain broken, most likely, until Verizon releases the OTA. From the OTA, our awesome developers will then be able to fix camera issues and many other issues that will make their ROM's 100% stable.

Also, if you get random reboots, you may want to flash to a different radio.

If you are currently running the OTA radios from the 2.11.605.19 software and still get these reboots, try flashing the combo radio and hopefully the reboots will vanish or, at least, happen less often.

If you go to your settings, about phone, software information, more, and look at the baseband version...

If the numbers you see are:

1.49.00.0406w_1, 0.01.79.0331w_1

Then you are on the OTA 2.11.605.19 radios, which is my recommendation for the radios to use with this ROM. If these are the radio numbers you see, try the combo radio. If the numbers you see under your phones baseband version is not:

1.49.00.0406w_1, 0.01.79.0331w_1

Then it may be:

1.48.00.0930w_3, 0.01.78.0916w_3

If it is:

1.48.00.0930w_3, 0.01.78.0916w_3

Try flashing the 2.11.605.19 OTA radios found here:

Definitely want to ditto this thread. Thanks for continuing to support the Thunderbolt. I was on the verge of retiring the Thunderbolt. ICS has brought new the Tbolt new life though!
[Thunderbolt General] vashts80:
thanks for the links. I'm going to try upgrading tonight and see if that helps. I notice you flash the radio in hboot. If I do a nandroid backup, does it also backup the radio (so I can restore it)? Or if I **** up, will it be permanently bricked?
[Thunderbolt General] John.E.Boi:
Ditto to all that has been said. Thank You to all who made this happen, including HTC and Verizon. Their inaction drove me to decide to root and find alternatives. I've been incredibly pleased with MR3.

Thanks all!

[Thunderbolt General] RBarnett09:
If you backup that ROM after flashing the radio, it will back up the ROM. Hboot is a whole different thing than the recovery. That radio is downloaded to the phone and will automatically run on any ROM after its downloaded, even if you start from scratch. But flashing any of those two radios will not brick you on any ROM. Worst case being you won't have signal or data until you flash different radios again.

Say if you upgraded to the newer radios, and then you flash a ROM based on an older software version, you won't brick. In fact, you may not ever experience any issues. Maybe just signal changes or random signal drops.

But no, it won't brick you. It's almost impossible to brick a Thunderbolt.

I recommend after flashing the new radios, immediately go and either change the name from PG05IMG to something custom, move into a different folder that's off of the root of the SD card, or just delete it once flashed.

This is for in a such case where you need to get back into recovery from hboot, it won't prompt you to install the radio again. Because if you had to get into recovery from hboot, it wouldn't allow you to since it runs a check for the PG05IMG files first... and with that being said... I was always told to never flash the same radio twice without changing to a new one first.
[Thunderbolt General] moonlightcheese:
i dont' see why these ROMs get so much acclaim... when i tried LiquidSmooth it wouldn't stay connected to the Internet. tried to toggle wifi and 3G/4G. nothing works and i have to reboot the phone every time i want to use the Internet.

Liquid MR3: the setup crashed and now the ROM won't even come all the way up...

unless my phone's broken or something (going to Verizon tomorrow to reflash and check it), i say they're both absolute garbage. i've had much better luck with ROMs on other phones.
