[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonshadsil94:
I have searched the entire internet (well, google) with this error message, and only one page comes up. It's a page that's in Russian, and it's about the Nexus 7 so I know I'm not the only one on earth with this problem. Any time I attempt to flash a recovery I get the error message FAILED <remote: <Nv3pBadRecieveLength>> I didn't have too easy of a time rooting my galaxy nexus either. Why do nexus devices seem to act like finicky children?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonshadsil94:
That last part isn't my question by the way. My question is what is this error message and how can I get rid of it in order to root my tablet?

[Folio 100 General] yochenhsieh:
Hello,

I just find out why I cannot use adb... AS100 have different VID/PID, so the usb driver just won't install in Windows.

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002&MI_01

I've edited android_winusb.inf and repacked a toolkit that should work for both AS100 and folio.

The file size is (slightly) larger than 8MB,so I uploaded it to mediafire:

http://www.mediafire.com/?44gzifauee07u9j

Including adb usb driver, fastboot and adb command.

---

Use fastboot:

boot your toshiba AS100/folio

when you see toshiba logo, press power 3 times and vol+ 1 time to enter fastboot mode.

you should see "Starting Fastboot USB download protocol..." on screen.

connect tablet to PC with USB.

install usb driver in Windows.

open cmd console in Windows

cd to where you put the tools folder, e.g. cd D:\toshiba\folio-toolkit\tools

run "fastboot devices" (without quotes)

if you see "? fastboot" in console, the tablet is connected and you can use fastboot to flash images.

(run "fastboot help" to see a list of usable commands)

---

Use adb:

boot your toshiba AS100/folio into android.

make sure usb debug option is checked.

connect tablet to PC with USB.

install usb driver in Windows.

open cmd console in Windows.

cd to where you put the tools folder, e.g. cd D:\toshiba\folio-toolkit\tools

run "adb start-server" (without quotes)

run "adb devices"

you should see the following in Console:

List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF device

(run "adb help" to see a list of usable commands)

---

Adb troubleshooting:

If you see "0123456789ABCDEF offline" when you run adb devices, try the following:

adb kill-server
adb start-server

If it still not works, try reboot the tablet again when connected with USB.

---

About AS100: basically it's as same as folio 100, with 1GB on board RAM.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nooktablet:
if you're on jelly bean, can you downgrade to ICS by putting the official firmware .zip file on your /sdcard

1. last time when i deleted some system files (firmware ICS .30), i downloaded the official firmware .zip file and do a manual update, it "updated" to .30 and i got all my deleted system files back

2. someone in this thread just got his tablet from RMA and is being asked to downgrade from JB to ICS

http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/jjb7733/Screenshot_2012-10-17-01-48-42.jpg

those are the 2 reasons i think this "official" downgrade method will work. if it does work then we can downgrade without rooting or unlocking bootloader (and it's also easy)

if you want to try this, please do it at your own risk. i'm no developer and i will not be responsible if it bricks your device :D
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
It will fail as your source link says it did for them. I have already tried this as well as several other suggestions and the result is always the same as your source link describes.

Sorry I had hoped it was something new to try. The jb bootloader checks for proper signature and refuses to downgrade.

Thanks for reporting. One day soon I expect one of the ways presented will work. Joy, joy!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
I have tried this months before. It acts like its successful, but when its done, you're still on jb, so it does not work. There is no known safe method at this time unless you backed up the hidden stuff with nvflash.

Hi guys,

I have recently added support for the Galaxy Note SGH-I717 to my Android Kitchen.

I don't have this device, however, the file structure is similar to that of the Qualcomm-based Galaxy S2s, which the kitchen already supported. I was wondering if anyone here can confirm the kitchen works with the I717 as well.

Guys, I've put the cwm.zip on my external SD card to run the clockworkmod and root my galaxy s2 without change the kernel and without the yellow triangle. And now I'm wondering if this external SD cwm works to flash custom Roms, because its gonna save time to me.

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam Hui:
Yes it should...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
Yes, you can flash ROMs and other packages form external SD.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renanrolim:
Even with the stock kernel and the stock firmware 4.0.3?

Cause, I know there's some kernels that could brick the phone when you try to flash Roms with them.

The stock kernel is not that case, right?

Just remembering... My recovery mode is the stock. I use de clockworkmod only when I install it from the external SD card. So that's OK to install a ROM like cyanogenmod by this way?

I'm kind of afraid to mess things up

Thanks for all the help guys

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crazykidguy:
Alright so I'm extremely new to Android but I came from iOS jailbreaking and I've read a bit about Androids. I'm running firmware 2.3.6 on GB.VUVKJ6 with 2.6.35.7 Kernel. All I have is a stock firmware phone that I've rooted and done nothing else to it. This is what I want from those who know way more than me about androids: Please direct me to ROMS/ KERNELS that work on GB.. Yes I know that there is a development section of SGS4G and yes i know there is a sticky in there that lists all the roms and kernels and etc. But from what I read from the developers themselves when they try to resolve other people's flashing issues is that their roms and kernels were based off of and/or for FROYO and not GINGERBREAD.

I've actually tried to flash this kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1080871 but it ended up making my phone go into a boot loop. Maybe I'm just jumping the gun here but everything is so disorganized that it's really hard for someone new to get into the circle.

I used SuperOneClick 2.3.3 to root my phone (2nd time) and I -think- it installed CWM again like my first time. So now on top of asking someone to direct me to some roms/kernels, can someone just explain to me black and white:

-Why do I keep on reading RED_CWM or ORANGE_CWM? What is the difference in the label? I remember my first time going into CWM it was green? (maybe i'm remembering wrong)

- What is "Odin"? What is the .tar file? Is it different from what I have now? (Stock with root). Sometimes developers say to flash the kernel using Odin. Is the kernel going to be the .tar file? I -think- it helps you flash kernels onto your phone but can't you just use an app from the market?

- What is ext4? I keep reading from developer threads about "linda" supposedly talking you through the process and it's supposed to "convert" to?

I would appreciate it sooooo much if anyone can answer anything I had a question on. I really want to get into customizing and getting into the fun part of Android but it's just a lot to take in and very confusing when there's so many different developers and roms/kernels for different versions and firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chris31jct:
Have you read the SGS4G Wiki? Try it. It's in General Section.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1464066

Also, before flashing anything check the dates of posts and threads. That will give you an idea.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Yea. The 'last modified date' of the OP and the last post date to the thread. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Color means something for old cwm versions. Red usually denoted "Voodoo Lagfix", which is a way to replace samsung's proprietary RFS filesystem with ext4. Not related to "Voodoo Sound" or any other voodoo.

Newer versions, color is less important and version number of the recovery is king.

Odin, as you may have found on the wiki, is a windows only tool to flash new images directly from the phone's bootloader.

Odin is proprietary, and we don't know what everything in odin does. Luckily, there is an open-source reversed-engineered replacement project called Heimdall. (also found here on xda)

Heimdall will work on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows, but it is not compatible with the Kies/Odin/Samsung usb drivers. So you have to make sure that all of those drivers are cleanly uninstalled before installing Heimdall.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4

As I said before, it's a hack on BML roms to replace the proprietary Samsung RFS filesystem.

This is not relavent to MTD roms, as they can't use ext4 at all.

Read this for MTD/BML terminology.

search and ye shall find...

Read, Search, Test... Wash, rince, repeat.

I would start in the Android Development and Hacking forums, but at the same time try to get to know your device as well as you can before doing anything.

There is a reason there are so few SGH-T959V/SGH-T959W developers. It isn't that simple. But don't let me scare you off. We are all happy to help, but we won't spoon feed you to your completion. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crazykidguy:
Could you also tell me what is the Voodoo_Red/ other colors? I know Voodoo is a lagfix but I don't know whats the difference with the color. Is it the same as CWM colors?
