[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] castan:
Hi, I successfully flashed my T-mobile Vibrant about twelve months ago to a custom 2.2 Froyo rom (Trigger 3.2 Final). It's a great rom and EVERYTHING works. However lately I've read rave things said about newer roms such as ICS passion. It's been a while and I'm still a noobie at this so my question is:

What is the easiest way to get to ICS passion from my current custom Froyo rom ? Thanks ~ Chris
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haarsh:
hi,

Its very easy to get ICS running on your vibe. There may be various ways to proceed. I ll give you what I did (AFTER failing for 5-6 times )

Odin back to stock (It may be not necessary. But I started from the beginning which is better AFAIK :) )

Then stored ICS ROM (ICZen which in my case) and update.zip (CWM) on internal SD

then flashed GB Bootloaders (It also may/ may not necessary. But I did it b/c I already had many failed attempts)

Then flashed CM7 first

After that flashed ICS on top of it

Worked at last for me

NOTE: Please read relevant instructions provided by ROMs b/c flashing one may differ from flashing another.

You can find more information if you run into problems in my thread [SOLVED]Cannot install ICS ROM--please HELP

^^^ Truth

And I would suggest staying away from Passion. It is based on 4.0.3 and there was a pretty significant code upgread when ICS went to 4.0.4.

IIRC, Passion is the last ROM that still uses 4.0.3 and is probably why it is dead now (but for some reason lives in infamy on YouTube and Google Search).

Haarsh's way works just fine but here is another method as another option too.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] castan:
Thanks

Thanks for the replies. This is why I subscribed to the forum.

mmm... I see a few pitfalls ahead.

Background info from me is that I can't use Odin on my Linux computer. Never really got into Heimdall. I flashed my first rom by downloading the rom zip file and put it on my phone's internal sd card then let clockwork do the rest, ie nandroid backup and flash the rom from the update zip. I'd like to do the same again.

Ok, it's my understanding that anything above 2.2 needs the GB bootloader so the first step is to install that over my Trigger rom. I think Trigger would still run with the GB bootloader at that stage. Next download an update zip of a rom of my choice, put it on my phone's sd, then flash it with Clockwork.

Seems to me that should work or am I missing something I wonder ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast6977:
You can flash the GB bootloader. Its backward compatible so it will work with any ROM currently available.

Download the .zip of the ROM you want, and any Gapps if applicable. Then just follow the instructions on page 1 of the ROM (OP).

The usual would be Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Clear Cache, Clear Dalvik. Flash ROM, flash Gapps, restart. The instructions will tell you all you need to know.

If something goes wrong, give us a shout. That's what we're here for. :D

Okay, I usually don't use auto brightness but I'll try it.

I think/hope he was talking about his own question.

I use auto and I have noticed a bit of eye strain after many hours of Netflix. I don't remember my One X causing so much. Maybe try 50% or 75%? CM10 and modified kernels have custom color settings you could also try.

No problem.... I should have added about the auto brightness... BTW... did not upset me... was actually just trying to help. Sometimes we miss the simplest solutions so I wanted to check. No sweat.... glad you made it better.

And yes, I was talking about my own question... lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpisini:
I think it is the color shift. I noticed the same thing when I first got the Nexus. Since I moved to a new ROM plus kernel I don't have the strain anymore. I could be wrong and maybe I just got used to it but it seemed as soon as I flashed I was much happier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpisini:
No problem. I didn't see any reference to what model you have if you have Sprint try this Rom.

It is only for Sprint though so if you have GSM or Verizon you will have to try something else.

Hi, I just got the Pantech Flex from At&t and this phone has very good specs, and looks really high end. Does anyone have this phone and is there any root for it?
[General Questions and Answers] samomamo:

[General Questions and Answers] borijess:
I would also like to know if there is any development going on with this phone?
[General Questions and Answers] stuartmc:
I bought the Flex for a song and that enabled to dump AT&T and go with Straight Talk. Just a phenomenal phone for the price. It sure would be nice to get some simple rooting help. I don't expect any specific ROM development for the device, but anything would be a plus.

My take is that the phone is being promoted as a "budget" phone because its Pantech and as a starter smart phone because it has a very simple feature-phone like interface that you can switch to, if needed. In fact, sporting the same cpu and graphics chip as the Galaxy III and One X, with an 8mp rear and 2mp front camera and LTE capability, it is certainly not a budget performing phone. It is super fast and Pantech's minimal ICS overlay is actually quite good.

Not sure we can help much, rooting kind of requires a phone to test on.

you will need su and Superuser http://www.4shared.com/file/77Hm6isK/su_online.html Superuser.apk is at http://www.4shared.com/android/o6FouNYk/Superuser.html

but you might try

adb reboot

adb shell

echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop

exit

Pantech Flex Sim Unlock Free

Hi everybody today I just gonna share how I unlocked my Pantech Flex to any carrier...I just used the same tool that other people use to unlock the Pantech Burst with the same phone model...in both phones just use the P9050 model in the Pantech calculator tab and it works...easy!!!

Enjoy!!

Pantech Flex on Tmobile LTE?

Has anyone used the Pantech Flex on Tmobile LTE?

My Pantech Flex can connect to Tmo HSPA+, but not LTE. When registered on LTE network, it shows 4G/LTE but no connection. If I manually switch the network operator to WCDMA, then it will get 4G (more correctly 3G/HSPA+ on Tmo). However, it will automatically switch back to LTE after a short while.

I have tried all APN setting, non made any difference. Also tried the *#*#4636#*#* menu, it has no effect of the network type at all.

At this point, in case anyone on the same boat, I found a workaround solution by using a 2G sim card (from eBay) and the phone now connects to 3G (HSPA+). At least I have data connection, just not LTE.

I can live fine with HSPA+. But I curiously want to fix this phone and make it connect to Tmo LTE :D

Does anyone have any idea of what the problem might be or what I should be looking into? I ran out of ideas at this point.

I downloaded the RAR file, follow your instruction (choose P9050), find my IMEI # (Settings -> About phone -> Status), enter the IMEI, generate the unlock code, reboot my phone, enter the unlock code. A few minutes later, my phone is now on the network!

Why does it ask for reseller info and mail info? also why does it say it cannot find dongle? last i remembered, a dongle is a small attachment for a pc like a USB dongle. a dongle is not a phone tethered through USB to a pc.
[General Questions and Answers] jclu52:
Don't worry about that. ;)

Switch to the tab named "Pantech Calc."

To find your phone's IMEI # go to [ Settings -> About phone -> Status ].

For Burst (P9070) & Flex (P8010), select P9050 Laser from the Model. Enter your IMEI #. Click on Calc Codes to generate the unlock code.

Reboot your phone and enter the code you got and a few minutes later, you got yourself an unlock phone. :highfive:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endrancer:
will they find fingerprints if you wipe them away?

as long as you can access recovery menu and can revert everything software-based you are good to go. if your warrenty claim is not software related - like a broken screen - they "might" even replace under warranty even you rooted / whatsoever.*

* Depending on if the tech-guy who is checking out your device has had a good day so far.

But the best is before sending in, always revert to stock. You don't want to share your private files, pictures, emails, etc. with the world when sending in your Nexus 7, or do you?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endrancer:
You don't need extra warranty. When warranty is over just use the device as long as it lives. When something happens you buy a newer updated version of future nexus devices.

Additional warranty will cost like 20 percent of the device. I do not recommend at all to get one

This would only make sense if you are in a dangerous household with kids where it's highly possible that something might happen. But I would read the terms and conditions first cause such insurances exclude a lot of cases like water spill, stolen depending on case.

Most of the things will most likely never happen and even if it's not an expensive device where you go bankrupt from.

Bit the bullet and spent $40 on a warranty plus accidental coverage when I first got the device. Would rather not have to spend $200 plus in case I have a derp moment.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endrancer:
Can't be too difficult to take care and be precautionary. Like don't use it close to any fluids like beverage, bathrooms, get a protective case. Don't throw it around, don't leave it in your car, don't put it on the edge of the table. Give your kids a baseball instead of your nexus.

I don't know why ppl worry that much. You have warranty and all that service which gives manufacturers a hard time. But users can't even handle their devices properly.

Additional:

If u take your claim. Long time process until you eventually get a new device. But obviously they try as much as possible not to be required to pay for stupidity.

Anyways.

What are insurances do with all that money? Go have sexparties with their most successful salesmen.

[Acer Iconia A500] JetBlue:
My friend was trying to revert his tablet back to factory from a CM9 build from like March since he couldn't stand how buggy it was and he was on a HC bootloader since he didn't want to do all the work to update to the ICS bootloader and now I'm trying to fix it for him since it will no longer boot but it goes into recovery sort of. It'll go to the Android with the triangle with the exclamation point in it which would normally mean it's stock recovery on most devices but it wouldn't give me any options until I plugged my usb keyboard into the tablet and pressed the home button while it was booting and it pulled up a menu to reboot system now, apply update from external storage, wipe data/factory reset (tried this didn't work) and wipe cache partition. My first instinct was to try the factory reset option to see if it worked, which it didn't so my only other option was to apply an update from external storage. So I tried downloading to download a HC factory image to apply but I can't get the sd card to register which is in FAT32 format. Any thoughts on how I can fix this for my friend and give it back to him? I don't need it fixed by a certain date but I'd like to give it back to him soon (hopefully fixed) so he can start using it again.

This has probably been covered here previously, but i searched fro several hours and tried several different things before giving up and just asking...

I have an 8gb NT, and i was running CM7 on it. I installed CM7 with Clockworkmod on an SD, but i had installed TWRP locally on the device. I was going to flash CM9 on to the device today, so i turned it off and went to boot into recovery mode, but i quickly noticed that there was something wrong with cyanoboot. It just boots in to recovery, there is no menu, just a loop. In TWRP, everything i try to load comes back with a "can't mount..." error. I read in several places to try certain rom installs through clockworkmod, so i booted to the SD card, but that doesn't work either. I think it is probably an error with the partition tables, but i was unable to find anything telling me how to repair that, though i found a lot of places and articles that said that it can be done. Does anyone know what might have happened here, and more importantly, how do i fix it? At this point i would be happy to go back to stock if i could...
