[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
For $170, your only (name brand) option would be the Galaxy Tab 7. There are a lot of other 7-10" options that are off brands (meaning not likely to have a lot of developer support).

I'm not positive on this, but I think the Surface is going to be in the iPad price range. The cheapest one I've seen (so far) is $599.

If you're happy with the Nook, keep it for now and save up for something else later. Tablets are changing constantly, so it's not worth settling for something you're not 100% on. It's better to wait and get something you'll be happy with.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] inthezone787:
Hi,

Does anyone have a PIT table for a sgh-i777? I'm not sure the exact version - somewhere in the 2.3's (2.3.6?). I've got an sg2 that I'm locked out of that I need data from. ADB is disabled, so I'd like to flash CWM via Heimdall. Is that possible without wiping the device?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vdubguy:
You can extract the pit file from your device with Heimdall. Not sure how to do it in command line but with the frontend just got to the utilities tab, put your phone in download mode- click save as under the Download pit section-----give it a name and save it.

Some one correct me if I'm wrong ,Yes you can flash CWM without wiping the device, after all it just flashing a kernel.

PIT table for SGH-i777

Thanks for the reply vdubguy.

I keep getting this error:

ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -3

Any thoughts on what this might be? I can run Heimdall and it says complete, however nothing is happening, I think this is why...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
There is a good pit file in tar format in the Download Repository, (see my signature.) However, a pit is rarely needed for the I777.

What do you mean locked out. If you're locked out by password protection, you can get around that by trying to boot the phone 5 or 6 times in a row without the password. It will eventually let you in.

or... you should be able to return to stock with the stock firmware using the guide linked in my signature. Do you have access to a windows pc so you can use odin? That would be more straight forward.

As far as Heimdall goes, your error message looks like you don't have the libusb installed correctly.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] inthezone787:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mvi57:
You might need to run heimdall as root. I had to do that on my Fedora system to flash my phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
If you are locked out by a password, actually you can get into recovery the way I described, but not sure about the booted phone, probably not. The method is to type a wrong password into the password field and accept. After you do 6 times I think it is, it will let you boot on into recovery. I don't know if it will work when booting the phone, but worth a try. If it's stock kernel, then not going to be very helpful to get into recovery.

By the way, you can't flash CWM onto an I777. You have to install a custom kernel which has CWM baked in. If you try to flash CWM, you'll at least soft brick it, if not worse.

Depends on what data you want to recover. Doing a wipe data/factory reset removes all personal settings, installed applications and other random stuff from the system partition. A wipe does not touch the sd card memory, so if the data you want is stored on the sd card, like most installed applications will do, then a wipe will not touch it. For instance, your photos, music, etc will all be safe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] inthezone787:
Thanks for the reply. If I'm reading you correctly, then if I use ODIN or heimdall to flash the kernel, that will wipe data on the device? What I'm looking for is SMS, stored on the phones flash itself.

If so, do you know of any way of getting root (even temp root) without adb enabled that doesn't wipe data?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] inthezone787:
Also, yes it is a stock phone, stock Android recovery, 2.3.x (I'm thinking 2.3.6).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vdubguy:
I assume your already in download mode?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] inthezone787:
Yeah, in download mode. Have also tried downloadin PIT via heimdall-frontend, gives me a libusb -0 error
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
You've already been told how to get into the phone.

Why are you messing with pulling your PIT file? what do you plan on doing with it?

want CWM, flash a kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] inthezone787:
When was I told this? If you're describing the 'turn on and off to get into recovery', as discussed, that doesn't work. It's a stock phone. If you're discussing the flashing - yes, I understand that. Read the other posts. I haven't asked that again.

"ADB is disabled, so I'd like to flash CWM via Heimdall" - That's from my very first post. Pretty straight forward.

Yes. I'm following. Again, I'm there. But I don't want to wipe data. That's why I'm asking if it does or does not, before just trying it and losing all the critical data on the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
Flashing a kernel in Heimdall will not wipe data. Tho im not sure it will allow access.

Odds are, your screwed if creepy's advice doesnt work. **** gets lost all the time, Highly doubt anyone will die over a few lost text messages.

But best of luck, I cant help anymore than what was already posted,.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RootTheMachine:
The pit file has nothing to do with any of this... you can flash a custom kernel with heimdall. Not sure if adb works in recovery, but wiping data will allow you to get in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I don't have personal experience with it, but I understand that Siyah kernel is self rooting. I assume the Gigerbread version of Siyah is also self rooting. You could look into that. If you can get siyah onto the phone, and break past the security lock, with root you can extract data from the system partition from the kernel without booting into the system, I think. I'm pretty sure the sms data would be stored in the system partition, so a wipe data/factory reset would remove it. Good luck with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
Wouldnt it be in the data partition. Wiping data doesnt touch system partition.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RootTheMachine:
I also thought it resided in the data partition.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
What...? You mean it's not titled wipe system/factory reset? lol... scuse me for being sloppy.

http://www.jonobacon.org/2012/10/26/ubuntu-core-on-the-nexus-7/

Looks like we might have a good chance at a good stable build of ubuntu.Since the nexus 7 shares almost all the main components with our prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
Fingers crossed !!

Lilstevie has been working on a version but its very very secretive and i'm not sure he has much time to do it now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] briansid:
sounds good. can't wait to have it :fingers-crossed:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lil-devil:
that would be great to have Ubuntu running naively on the prime!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ScriptJunkie:
I can't wait. Running with chroot and vnc is not the same and it gets sluggish
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lilstevie:
you are confusing secretive with lacking in time. Some things don't get shared, because otherwise everyone bugs me about it, and the little time I do have for things ends up being eaten up by those people. Other things don't get shared because they are simply tests that may or may not even pan out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
Naa i appreciate your busy matey, i know your at uni and doing other things its just whenever anyone asks about the Ubuntu project its usually met with silence.

I honestly think you should start your own thread about your project and update whenever you have the time etc ... i know there are some members that just want want want, but theres plenty that would support your work and be greatful that your just trying your best ... hey no one else can do it !

My comment wasnt ment to be a flame, i'm patiently waiting myself for anything you can come up with, its just sometimes i'd love to know how far your getting etc :)

tbh i've been desperate to get ubuntu on this thing since i bought it... now i've bought a new laptop, i barely use it anymore.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lilstevie:
I didn't interpret what you said as a flame, I was just "going on record" so to speak :) The development cycle is rather unique due to the device specificities so I have been avoiding creating a new thread so I can keep focused on that. I will be creating a thread soon(tm) for a preview build though (no eta).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zanzee:
This shouldn't be too hard I hope. Considering the prime and n7 share almost everything. The rear cam/keyboard and microsd might be issues. But the kernel may just pickup the cam/microsd.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lilstevie:
no, they are not similar devices, they share a cpu/gpu combo, that is pretty much the end of it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ScriptJunkie:
One question it always bug me. When canonical first started to talk about their project some people mention it would be like an app you download out of the market. But if a new kernel is needed, that's not possible, right? The pad would even need to be unlocked.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] McJesus15:
Most likely yes. Most users looking for Ubuntu are probably unlocked considering that usually flashing anything besides an update requires unlocking.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lilstevie:
Canonical said no such thing, ubuntu-on-android is something entirely different to this, it works much like splashtop does on the atrix. They also never said that end users would be able to access it from the play store, it requires being integrated by OEMs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ScriptJunkie:
I wasn't clear, what I meant is that after canonical's anoncement I heard rumors from random people talking about that. And that always bugged me cuz I couldn't figure out how would they pull that off. But what u said makes more sense.

Pretty much, yeah, you could even go more. Im going to take otu SPen and all that mess for my own personal ROM. You could strip it all the way down to Playstore and calculator if you wanted to take the time to learn about the APK's. Its not too hard.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwright64:
Using pro. Restored maybe 30 apps with data. It would restore one, two at the most and stop. It didn't force close, it would keep running, just nothing happening. I tried reinstalling tb, didn't help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
I think I just figured it out... I had an issue with SuperSU. I dont think Busybox is installing correctly during ROM install.

Try to downlod Busybox Installer by Stericson.... Then check root for updates in the SU App, then try TIB again.

I realized I am using an oudated version and or it might not be installng correctly :confused:

Whooops!

Let me know if busbox fixes it. If so I will update the ROM.

Other than that what did you think about the apps that I left in? Any opinon as to going lighter or heavier for a play build like this?

Busybox wouldn't install. Root checker came back that it couldn't verify root.

Don't think many are happy with their speeds on Sprint to begin with. I know VN is in the process now in Philly, but it's torture in the meantime. I've got a nandroid of Jellybomb, this, and am downloading blazer. This and Blazer are much cleaner looking so will see how they both progress.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gyrene2083:
Yea, I agree with you. I personally love the cleaner look. However jellybomb does have a ton of great mods. JoshBeach did a great job with it and he has tons of great reviews and loyal followers.

As for Sprint, you'd figure they'd freaking at least have LTE in a major city like philly, or nyc, and if they do have it here in nyc, it must only be in manhattan, because I really can't find it here in the bronx.
