ganeshp Y not RUU run ??...coz he trying to flash lower version of RUU???.. but kgs mention in his RUU thread that ,lower version of RUU does not work if bootloader is locked , but in this case he unlock bootloader.. :confused:

[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
For lower version of ruu to run you need SOFF..

Maybe you misinterpreted the statement given by kgs1992 but he does know this.

Unlock of bootloader only gives you the ability to flash custom roms which support that firmware version
[HTC Sensation] Itsakash:
Hmm so I think this must be write there in kgs thread ...

[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
As I said kgs1992 know this and he might not have said what you are saying.. Can you quote the exact statement from the ruu guide where this was mentioned?
[HTC Sensation] Itsakash:
" If your device's bootloader is locked, then you

cannot flash an RUU with version less than your

phone's current version."

Sent from my Sensation
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Hmm this statement is half true (not locked means either soff + eng-patched hboot or unlocked bootloader) and does mean that unlocked bootloader might give you the ability to flash lower versions of ruu.... But factually its not.. As soff is required irrespective of bootloader status

I'll pm him regarding this (i wonder how I missed that.. I reviewed that guide countless times :) )

Thanks for pointing it out.. It saves more confusion for others

Now what if I want to pass to Jellybeam?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
You need to soff using revolutionary first... For that the process is kinda difficult for you...

These are the steps

1. First in your current rom you will either have superuser/supersu app.. Open it and in settings change the default action to grant

2.then in settings-developer options - make root access as "apps and adb"

Also tick "usb debugging"

3. Download kgs super utility from his thread.. Also in the same thread post #2.. There is a link to flash stock recovery.. Using that link you need to flash stock recovery

4. Then go to bootloader and relock it

Fastboot command is

fastboot oem lock

5. then use the kgs tool to do soff process

6.once soff is done check the joaquinf's guide on "flash 3.33 firmware and ARHD"

In sensation general stickies.... Follow that and flash firmware and jellybean rom (the only change you need to do is.. Instead of using superwipe as mentioned in the thread use 4EXT - wipe/format - - format all partitions except sdcard)

[Asus Transformer TF700] duarian:
I believe on the TF300 its not possible, but I am curious if it is possible on this device? I would honestly love to install custom ROMs, but after spending an hour on the phone with squaretrade today if I purchased a warranty through them, unlocking would void their warranty as well, so I would really hate to spend $450 and lose all hope of getting it serviced if it breaks a week later.

Thanks for the help guys, currently stuck if I want to spend the extra $150 on this or just keep my TF300. I mainly want to use it as a game machine and sadly need to root to use a controller (I don't have the dock).

Thanks!

Edit: This is guessing that the device will come with JB rom, I see it can be rooted unlocked with ICS.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Firebrazer:
You can root without having to be unlocked, yes.You need to be sure that you're NOT on JB, though. Firmware .30 or earlier on ICS can be rooted with the debugfs method listed on this forum. You will lose root once you upgrade to JB again, though. Unless you use OTA Rootkeeper to backup the root. There is currently no way to root the tablet on JB without being unlocked or downgrading.
[Asus Transformer TF700] duarian:
I did read about that and was rather happy to see it. Then its just a matter of hoping mine comes with the right firmware. Just curious as i've never had to do it before. Is it easy to unroot if it is needed to be sent in for repair? I know SuperSU has an option that removes root files to switch superuser apps, just not sure if thats thorough enough.

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Firebrazer:
Yes, unrooting is fairly easy. You can always reset it using the stock recovery. I don't actually think you will have to unroot it, though. You'll lose your warranty if you unlock the bootloader, not if you just root, afaik.
[Asus Transformer TF700] duarian:
Yeah, thats why I am looking into just rooting for now.

Thank you so much for the help, gonna go snag this up while its on sale for $449. Hopefully I can put up with the stock lag and everything people complain about :(

I enjoy photo editing so was looking for this. Adobe doesnt let me pay for it so I found a unlegit copy. It is available all over the web illegally but you should pay the developer for their work - should they allow you to!!! I got my copy from a very coolapk site but its japanese or chinese or something. .if I find I actually use it I will pay the dev for their work should they ever decide they want my money :/ in my experience, apps that say not compatible on the market will obviously install on an incompatible device but there will be something about it that doesnt wotk properly and is usually related to screen size. Havent come across any problems with ps touch yet.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suryamurali:
Thanks... I did get the app... though, NOT the way I would have liked.

I hope Adobe makes a compatible version for Note 2 as it does match all requirements except physical screen size.

I would surely buy it... I was crazy enough to buy the whole Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection for my desktop... I wouldn't mind spending a few bucks for the phone app.

Until then... it is unfortunate.

Does the Play store allow older versions to be downloaded?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oso Polar:
320 is mentioned twice in this file, did you change both places to 240? If you did, check that your modifications were really saved.

BTW, bala_gamer changes work perfectly even on the stock odexed rom, this is what I'm using on my N7100.

Keyboard comes as a complete apk (SamsungIME.apk) in a zip, so I just replaced the original apk with the modified one from zip and removed the corresponding SamsungIME.odex file. The rest of the zips contain patches, so I just flashed these zips from CWM and they all work fine (except if you engage one-handed mode - it seems that these mods don't handle this properly yet, guess because they are all ports from S3 that doesn't have this mode?). Don't remove *.odex files for other modified apks - corresponding applications will stop working! And be careful while replacing the keyboard (SamsungIME.apk) - original one works ONLY in 320, crashes in 240, and the modified one crashes in 320 but works in 240! And I recommend to backup all affected .apk (and corresponding .odex) from system/app first - you might need them in case something goes wrong and, may be, for applying future versions of this mod.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] satur9ine:
I discovered some interesting behavior by the LED notification light on our phone since the JB update. This isn't a bug since I can confirm it is repeatable and seems to have a purpose.

Okay so while your phone is on the charger you know how the LED light comes on if the screen is off? Hold the phone in your hand and make sure the screen is on. Turn the screen off with your power button and notice the brightly lit LED light (red or green, depending on your charge state). Now, turn the screen back on and set the phone down on a flat surface. Turn the screen off again now and notice the LED is much dimmer.

Another thing to try is to turn off the screen while the phone is in your hand to get the bright LED and then set it down. The LED will set itself to a dimmer state after some time goes by. Cool, huh? Seems to be designed that way to more efficiently sip the juice while charging.

Class dismissed!

EDIT: poit correctly determined the reason behind the intensity of the LED light is directly related to the ambient light in the phone's immediate environment. Kudos to poit!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Infection3d:
Cool. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] poit:
The LED brightness seems keyed to the ambient light sensor. It's it's in a dim environment (or you have the sensor blocked) when you turn off the screen, the LED will be dim. If it's in a bright environment when you turn off the screen the LED will be bright.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chuki82:
Mine didn't change at all stayed dim. Got me thinking though, could it be adjusting for how bright it is?

It sure does if I go to a bright room my indicator is bright. Dim room and a dim indicator. While charging if you set the phone down if and while bright it will go dim.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] satur9ine:
I believe you are correct. I thought it had something to do with gyroscope sensor(hence why it was dim on a flat surface). But I just tried it somewhere with more light and your assessment is correct. Bright environment equals bright LED. Dim environment equals dim LED. Still cool!

:good:

P.S. - this is best tested in a dim room with a lamp you can shut on or off. Lamp on = bright LED, etc. The LED will go back and forth while you play with the lighting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
Or you could just cover the light sensor like I just did and then remove your hand. :p
