Thanks for the reply, can you see any changes in either of the apps?

I assume (hope really!) that SocialLife is more stable and less laggy - any difference please?
[Sony Tablet S] ofiaich:
Hi!

Sorry, haven't used either SocialLife and Reader! I'll try SocialLife and will report back if it is laggy..

[Sony Tablet S] reptile64:
Any of you above, give me a good reason to root the Tablet
[Sony Tablet S] xxliftsupxx:
The Answer why i have rooted the Tablet

For me, the rooting useful because now I can use USB flash drives that are in NTFS format - unfortunately supported by Android, this house is not, unfortunately, you do not FAT32 so I extended my exFAT for larger video files. Since I have only a WiFi tablet I can use the app with Root Manager and use UMTS 3g umts stick on the device ... there are more things but those are only playing - but we can extend by Root use many useful features and;) The root method is also associated with little risk because you change the read-only files right and push back and forth. Thus, it is worth the thing - for me personally - because everyone has his own opinion .. and that is a good thing;)
[Sony Tablet S] reptile64:
Thanx for your feedback xxliftsupxx

Any easier method than the step bu step guide? The last time it took me hours to do it!
[Sony Tablet S] xxliftsupxx:
;)

Really could use a batch script from the whole build with a few breaks;)

Simply copy and paste the instructions to work through in CMD console;) If you are using step "Backup / system (you may just skip it)" omits goes faster because you'd have to do something else further up again;) That was what all my time had stolen - otherwise you are in 10min by;)

Same the last time I tried to root it took me ageessssssss. And to make it worse it deleted all my apps.

Is there any way to keep root and update?:o

A good reason, rooted you can use playstation 3 pad on your tablet. ;). Another good reason?
[Sony Tablet S] reg6ft3:
Upgraded mine to Release 6, Socialife is less buggy, the news section works now finally though it's still a bit clunky. I think the interface of Currents/Flipboard works better with social newsfeeds

The Reader seems the same, but nothing was wrong with it in the first place, perhaps more to do with new content or types of books.

Sony really need to fix the power issue where you get an inconsistent experience every time you try to switch it on, i never know if it will switch on straight away, needs two or three presses before coming to life. I love Sony, but this needs to be fixed ASAP as numerous complaints are testifying to.

I thought it was a Tegra 3 saver core issue, but the Asus ones I checked don't have this problem. Hope the JB build is more streamlined!!!

All these silly skins are slowing down the core Android OS imo.
[Sony Tablet S] xxliftsupxx:
Root

So for me with this root method NO apps has been deleted. The only thing is that the desktop without Widgeds was. But all apps still there and worked perfectly. Email accounts but had to be re-created. But that was under root 4.0.3. Rel.5 so ;) I find this root method great, because you can understand what is happening. An on-click root solution is favorable - but you do not know what exactly because expires.

Hi guys,

I was rooted prior to updating to UVLJ4, but now the SuperSU application is there but I can't seem to update the binary. It keeps saying "installation failed". Upon trying to use other apps that require root, I can't use them either. Should I just ODIN back to stock? I remember when updating to UVLJ4 that upon rebooting I got a nasty message that said "installation failed". Yet, when I look at my phone firmware, it does say UVLJ4. Any ideas on what I can do?

Thank you

Try to re-download SU in the market.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kinrit:
Sorry, do you mean uninstall the updates and re-install them? Not giving me an option to "un-install SU" to be able to re-download it. Thanks for your help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saldebot:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kinrit:
Tried installing Superuser, still no root privilege given to CWM or Titanium backup.

It's a permissions issue. Reflash Superuser. Use link in my comment.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kinrit:
Thank you guys for the help. So was the problem because of my updating to UVLJ4 when rooted? Or somehow it just got mixed up during the updating process and I hit a wrong button or something? I suppose I'm wondering how it will affect my phone when JB gets released and I'm on a custom ROM or something.

If you have cwm or any other aftermarket recovery then you won't be able to load an OTA. Your options are either reverting to fully stock and unrooted or loading a new pre-rooted ROM through cwm and enjoying it without worrying about t-mobile updates. There are some leaked stock moded and rooted ICS and JB ROMs worth checking out. They are stable and allow you to customize what you like.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BobSilva:
Man, I must have some serious derpage going on here, but I cannot get CM10 onto my Skyrocket. I don't consider myself a noob -- been doing this for a few years now -- but this one has me stymied.

My phone is fine in CM9.1.0. When I try to load CM10, following TeamChopsticks CM10 Install Guide I start boot looping. I've gone as far as to wipe everything I can think of (wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik, format/data, format/system, format/cache all x3) with no joy. When booting, I get Samsung logo, 60 seconds of CM10 spinning boot animation, freeze and then re-boot.

I'm running sk8erwitskil's 6.0.1.5 CWM Touch Recovery.

Heimdall fails with "libusr error: -12" and I've been unable to resolve that on my local PC.

Download mode says:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I727

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO

CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL​

...dunno if that's right, wrong or indifferent.

As such, I appeal to all you people out there much smarter than I. What else should I do? What else can I check? There must be something fundamentaly wrong with the config of my phone as I know there's a lot of folks out there on Skyrockets with CM10. I'd appreciate any and all help.

TIA,

Bob
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
Redownload the .zip and check md5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BobSilva:
Been there -- Done that

Oh, yeah, been there -- done that, but thanks. I'm currently downloading the latest nightly. I'll MD5 it and try again just for giggles, but that hasn't helped in the past. I will update this with the results when done.

EDIT: Yup, downloaded latest nightly, GAPPS (10/11) and MD5'ed 'em all. No joy -- same boot loop. Any other suggestions? TIA...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] artbybart:
When things start to crap out, I always think that starting over from the beginning is the best solution. Use Odin to go back to stock and get your phone working and then work your way back into JB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BobSilva:
Here be dragons...

Well, then we are definitely entering the NOOB zone. My sense is that "Here be dragons..."

While the procedure seems easy enough -- thanks to k0nane -- I have several questions.

Will I loose root? (I'm assuming that's a given...)

Do I need to be concerned about the /efs directory?

I'm using my Skyrocket on T-Mobile. Will I lose the unlock?

What else do I need to be aware above before jumping off this cliff?

TIA,

My skyrocket was doing the exact same thing. After installing the CM9.1 rom, phone went into boot loop with the same symptoms. After about 10 tries to reboot, I had to flash back to the stock ICS. When that got up and runnung I installed CWM, rooted, then installed Dark_pa ROM. Everything has been running nice and smooth since.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pvsgh:
Verify the MD5 hash of the ROM zip file on phone before installing, i had similar problems and it turned out that the file was not being copied to phone properly. Some strange issues and MD5 of the file is always different on the phone.

You can either download MD5 checker from Play store or if you have File Manager, it will show MD5 of the file in File Details.

OR

If you have an external SD card, you can try copying the ROM to SD card using SD CARD adapter.

Stock-town, here I come!

Yup, did all that -- no joy.

Cool -- Nice to get some validation. I think I'll be going the "Return to Stock" route next.

Tru dat. I always MD5 the file when I put it in it's final resting place. To date, I've never had an MD5 check fail.

Thanks for all the good suggestions, folks. I think I'll take the Odin train back to Stock-town now and then try to get back to JB. I've got everything backed up and am ready to take the plunge! I'll get back to y'all with the results...

EDIT: Hallelujah! (* Cue Angellic Music *)

It worked! When back to stock and worked my way back to JB and it went like clockwork (mod) (pun intended).

Thanks for the advice from everyone. (I'll be smacking Thanks buttons).

I´am like BobSilva but still in Boot Loop

Hi , I read the thread from the top , and I have a lot in common with BobSilva. I´am not so noob also , but I´am still with the Boot Loop in my Skyrocket .

The difference in that I already did the path back to the stock ROM UCFL6 AT&T Skyrocket and tried again about 3 or 5 times ... Wipping cahe , dalvik /resetig / formating system an etc ...

I have the CWM 6.0.1 / ROM Manager / and I was tried with CM 10 Stable and Nightly Dec 07 . I also left the phone in loop for 10 minutes or more , but still in Boot Loop.

Does anyone can give the steps to put this to work ?

Thanks in advance ....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nelsonmc:
Thanks JD1639 .... CWM was the issue ... I used the TWRP and CM10 Nightly Dec 09 now is working good.

What I did :

1. Using ODIN I Flashed my stock ICS 4.0.4 UCLF06 ( Details in how to do at the thread NOOB Guide )

2. Using ODIN to install the TWRP ( There is a version of TWRP for that also at the Noob Guide )

3. Root with Superoneclick

4. Download the CM10 Nightly Dec 09 and Gapps and tranfer to Sdcard

5. Using TWRP

a. Backup the actual ROM

b. Factory Reset

c. wipe / data / cache / dalvik

d install CM 10

e install Gapps

f. Reeboot

6. Wait for almost 5 minutes the CM10 Logo and then everything was fine ....

Thanks ....

That sounds good but you didn't need to root it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
Root isn't required to flash roms, and I would personally stay away from super one click to root the phone, as our phones are super easy to root, just use the flashable su file from the root sticky, it takes 3sec's and its impossible to muck up or brick the phone

My phone just started having this issue today, problem is that I can't even get it to boot into CWM or download mode, just flashes the samsung boot logo then after it disappears, before any other screen can show, it starts pulsing the vibrator motor in the phone and kills the screen. No button combination seems to resolve this and I have to take the battery out to get it to stop. Also it does seem to try and turn on immediately after putting the battery in the phone which I believe it has not done in the past...

Any chance there may be some way to load the full windows 8 onto an RT tablet? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

No.
[Microsoft Surface] guitar1969:
Surface RT is an ARM processor, so it cant run full Win 8.

I would be curious though if there will be any modding availabe on the Surface RT, once the XDA team gets their hands on it for awhile. I guess we would need an unlocked bootloader though
[Microsoft Surface] nbates66:
Some reviews have noted that the desktop file explorer is still available and the C:\Windows folder is accessible which surprised me somewhat, will have to see how much modification is possible.

Now however that Windows RT devices have secure boot active, so the Windows kernel must be signed, as well as drivers and modules with hardware access otherwise it gets blocked, in addition I believe all Windows RT tablets have TPM chips(I think that was it?) Which could complicate things further.
[Microsoft Surface] landwomble:

[Motorola Droid 3] DLCPhoto:
I have an Ekit SIM card that we have used successfully for international calling when we're traveling (we're based in the US). I have used it in my old HTC Touch Pro 2 (one of Verizon's 'world phones') - put in the card, then the pin, and it connects to available GSM signals. Testing it out at my home in NC, it quickly connects to TMobile.

I have SIM unlocked my wife's Motorola Droid 3, another Verizon 'world phone' - I install the SIM, boot it up, type in the PIN which is accepted, but when it tries to connect, I get the following:

Network Error

No GSM/UMTS networks were found. Would you like to switch to the Global mode?

Is there something different about the signal bands between these 2 phones, such that my Touch Pro 2 has no problem connecting to TMobile GSM here in the US, while the Droid 3 won't? Now that I write this, I do kind of remember reading somewhere that the Droid 3 is not compatible with US GSM bands, so that might explain it.

The bigger question is will it still work outside the US? Specifically, we're going to Tanzania, by way of Amsterdam, and would like to have the option of calling home, or receiving calls from home, with my wife's Droid 3 (I retired my Touch Pro 2, and am now using the Samsung Galaxy Nexus).

We want to travel as light as possible, so would prefer not to bring an extra phone if the Droid 3 will in fact work with this SIM card when overseas.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] KayxGee1:
Being that you have a U.S. branded DROID 3, you need to do some modifications to get it to work on GSM carriers.

Everything you need is here
[Motorola Droid 3] DLCPhoto:
Thanks for the reply - interesting link!

In my case, I don't need it work on GSM carriers in the U.S. - I just want to be confident it will work when I'm overseas.

I did a little more checking, and confirmed that (without the steps in your link) the Droid 3 would not work with US GSM carriers, so I'm reasonably confident I'll be okay when I get overseas.

Thanks again.
[Motorola Droid 3] Skreelink:
You just need the unlock code, either by contacting Verizon with an account in good standing (or a friend with one) or purchasing one by a well known code dealer (I've heard several people recommend unlock4moto). Although you did mention you already unlocked it. ;) Just putting that there for drifters reading the thread.

After unlock, the D3 should work flawless with foreign GSM carriers, you just need to make sure to input the APNs for data if they are not provided already on the SIM. Otherwise, the phone will not connect to US GSM networks (such as T-Mobile, which is 2g only, D3 lacks the 1700MHz band for Tmo 3g), it would require a flash of the XT883 radio + build.prop... Which is actually quite quick, painless, and simple once you do it a couple times. I keep a copy of both build.props in my /system folder. ;)

For informational purposes; the D3 supports these bands to compare to carriers;

UMTS on 850Mhz, 1900Mhz, and 2100Mhz. (Supports HSPA+ 14.4Mbps)

GSM/EDGE on 850Mhz, 900Mhz, 1800Mhz, and 1900MHz.

CDMA on 800Mhz and 1900Mhz

Stock radio gets you; Verizon in the US, unlocked for any foreign GSM network

XT883 radio gets you; No CDMA (Might work with RUIM card, SIM equiv for foreign CDMA networks/4g LTE networks) GSM anywhere, including the US.
[Motorola Droid 3] DLCPhoto:
Yes, I've already unlocked the SIM - got that through Verizon with no difficulty. Appreciate the other details!

Based on what I've read, and the posts here, I'll be happy to leave my Touch Pro 2 home, and the D3 should do what I need to on my trip. I actually don't need/want data on my phone out there - just wanted another option to call home when WiFi isn't available (I'll be using Skype when it is).

Thanks for the replies - told me what I needed to know!

Since a couple of days my daugthers phone is having a sound problem:mad:.

For alarms and phone calls there is no sound. Music works fine. I upgraded to GingerDX v29 but still the same. Volume is high.

Also if I select another ring tone no sound (normally you hear the new ringtone you want to select), also not silent mode.

Any other suggestions are welcome!!

[HTC Sensation] FastFurious65:
I have a HTC Sensation XE on Orange UK which is not rooted.

Since I've upgraded the phone from Android 2 to 4.0.3, I've been having an intermittent problem with the signal. On a daily basis, I will lose phone signal completely and quite often, the only way to get the phone signal back is to either turn it on and off Airplane Mode or Restart the phone. Sometimes this will return the phone signal, but sometimes it will remain with no phone signal and sometimes, it comes up with an error saying that I don't have a Sim Card in the phone. Eventually, I do get back the phone signal back but I have to leave it alone for about 10-15 minutes if it gets into the "No Sim Card" loop, otherwise everytime I restart it or put it into Airplane Mode, it comes back with No Sim Card.

This normally happens when I'm using the phone, but has happened when I've had my phone in the pocket. It happens in weak and strong signal areas. It's very random. Factory Reset will often have no affect and it's happened when I've had lots of Apps installed, and when I've only had the Factory Apps installed.

I've sent it back to HTC 3 times. They've returned it with re-installing the software. It works again for about 3-5 days, then the problem starts again.

I keep thinking it's an issue with the Sim Card, but the Sim Card works fine in other phones with no issues of signal. I've tried other Orange Sim cards in the phone and they seem to work, but I've never left it long enough to see if the signal crashes. I've spoken to Orange but they say there's nothing wrong with the Sim Card as it works in other phones.

I've looked all over the internet for a resolution. Seen many people having the issue, but unable to come up with a resolution. I'm a little unsure what to do. Anyone having a similar problem, or any ideas what to do next?
