Look pass the fear and go one step at a time, before you know it, your there.

It looks like you have already resolved this from this thread.

Ok, basically I'll go step by step.

1. Download ubuntu iso from ubuntu website (you can donate or put 0$ then download iso) and burn it to cd. 5 minutes

2. Stick the cd into a system that you don't plan to look at the video that is showing you the process and boot it up from a reboot and not from within windows. Select the left square which basically load the ubunbu from cd but does not install anything to your hard drive.3 minutes

3. You can view the whole video but I would skip to the section in video (3:28 watch to 4:43, 6:56 watch to 8:06 ) where I mentioned the setting the two flags in your sd after quick format fat32 and extracting the four files into your sd within ms windows platform from the post . I did this with a normal mini sd card adapter and not the usb stick adapter he used in the video. Since you are doing this to a blank mini sd then there really nothing to worry about since it is blank in the first place. 2 minute

4. If you had your apps backup with titanium backup then it still will be on the main mini sd and not the one that working with for this recovery.

5. I notice you did not mention wipe dalvik cache from your post. You should always wipe dalvik then wipe factory then do a single flash to test boot up.. You can flash gapps after a successful boot up into jellybean. (here's a video showing that I'm using external cwm v.5 even though its recommended to use v.6 .) You can always use cwm v.6 on your next cm10 test rom or use cwm v.6 to reflash to same rom once a successful boot up have been obtained with external cwm v.5. This purpose is to get it running on your nt.

6. Be patient for the first boot. Should not be more than 5 minutes max. It will look black then load. If it boot loops then wipe dalvik then wipe factory and do a single flash to test boot up again.

This will at least get cm 10 flavored rom on to your nt.

Got it back! Thank you for your help & patience. Also for the timely responses. I now have a bootable "recovery sd card" for curing these type problems. I've labeled it & filed away for any future borks of this kind! And I have cm10 up & running stable.

Thank you!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradsh1:
Does anyone know about headset controls with this phone? It doesn't come with headphones, so there is no guarantee there is any support. The Nexus 7, for instance, does not support headset controls or the headset inline mic. I have seen no reviews that mention this. It's kind of a big deal to me. I would also like to know if its like the S3 where the next/prev buttons are volume, or like HTC where next / prev is next song prev song.

So, anyone heard anything about this?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdalej:
I picked up a nice used Samsung Galaxy Tab with no sim card for my wife. The boot screen says it's for AT&T but she just uses it on Wifi and no intention of using it on 3G.

I figured I would upgrade it to ICS, and I thought I was on the right track until I tried to flash CWM 6 from the following Wiki link. Now it's in a loop and says "Connected by AT&T", shows a thin line across the screen, and then reboots.

I used this page for what I did:

Wiki: Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_(GSM):_Full_Update_Guide

Can someone help me out so my wife doesn't kill me?

Before I attempted rooting, I attempted to upgrade with Kies but it told me the device was not compatible. It has Froyo 2.2 installed.

Try to restock using overcome method.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ableeker:
What did you install after the (kernel with) recovery? The wiki says the following:

After the kernel is installed, the Samsung stock 2.3 ROM will not boot anymore.

This goes for 2.2 too.

Boot into recovery, and install the zip of the ROM that was copied to memory. That ought to work. If not, like priyana said, restock to Overcome, and try the wiki instructions again.

If you're restocking with the Overcome files, you could just stop after the first part, and install only the stock ROM (JQ1 Gingerbread). Or continue after that and install Overcome, that's a good modified Gingerbread.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdalej:
I have tried getting into recovery mode, but it just continues looping and rebooting.

What are the correct steps to get into recovery mode?

I have tried Power, Volume Up, Home but nothing works.

Basically, when I power it on, it just loops and I can't get to a point to even start the Overcome or see recovery mode in order to copy anything.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdalej:
I was unable to install anything else after the CWM6 flash. That's when it started looping.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdalej:
Thanks!

You guys saved the day. That "Overcome Experience" pdf was nicely done. It took me a little while to get my bearings in it, but I finally found the section about re-stocking to Gingerbread.

I was able to successfully install the GB version and then I installed the CM9 on the Wiki page I mentioned earlier.

I really appreciate the help and direction you provided. My wife will be happy and I can live another day. ;)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CiscoX:
Hi.

Where do you have your fastboot.exe file? Remember to put boot.img at the same folder that you have your fastboot.exe.

Then open an dos window(cmd) and make sure your phone are in recovery mode(fastboot mode) Turn off the phone and hold down the voulme up/+ then plug in the usb cable. You should have a blue light on your phone.

Then open the dos window and type:

But before all this, you have to make sure your phone have unlocked bootloader.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] techno-np:
Yes you can do it with flashtools.... But 1st u need to connect ur phone in fastboot mode.... Then open flashtools then click fastboot in flashtools...

what works for me

I have seen the same problem all over the forums and it used to happen to me as well. One thing I noticed, which i don't think was the real reason, but seemed to work for me was replacing CWM recovery and using 4EXT recovery. I dont know if that was it but after that i never had random shutdowns anymore.

Rooting allows you to run special applications like SuperUser, SetCPU. Allows you to flash custom kernels and ROMs like cyanogen mod. Also you free up memory that extra apps use.. In easy language, you get full access to everything..

[General Questions and Answers] SiberianLeopard:
Rooting is the act of gaining superuser access(root permissions) to the root(main files) of the device's operating systems, letting apps run at kernel level. Rooting allows for overclocking, however, in Jelly Bean, root is not required to overclock. Overclocking is the most frequently used root application. Root also lets you change system files.
[General Questions and Answers] AlwaysDroid:
Here is rooting for all you noobs ;)

Basically every linux system has an administrator capable of making changes to the computer and access all the files that make the system up. On Mobile phones however, this is locked down for security/warranty reasons etc.

This is a great start, we know that the admin (root) access is there, we are just locked down from using it. So the point of rooting is not to install Super User, it is to trick the system into giving us adb shell as root and therefore allowing us to mount the /system partition as Read/Write (instead of read only).

That is what allows us to change the value of ro.secure in the kernel, which sets the flag that allows us a root shell, instead of a regular (non-privileged) shell. Then we push the SU binary and SU app to the system, which gives us choice as to what apps are allowed su rights and what is not. In other words, we don't need the SU app to obtain root access. It is just for data protection.

It sounds so simple, but it is not. Since the /system partitions cannot be mounted as read/write by default, and ro.secure=1, we cannot have a root shell and therefore not able to change ro.secure=0. Therefore, it is secure.

In order to gain the root shell we have to find an exploit that will trick the system. We use an exploit (hack, vulnerability) to trick the android OS into giving us a root shell in adb. For example on of them (in simple terms is...)

1. We kill adbd ***(this is the parent) It spawns a shell (adb) based on its rights*** keep this in mind.

2. When it adbd starts up, it must run as root. When its done, it will set its id back to a non root user

3. The program (SuperOneClick for ex) races adbd by spawning a process that tries to change its id at the same time (slightly first).

4. Since we are busy changing the id of our fake process, the kernel wont be able to change adbd since it is busy and therefore adbd continues to run as root.

5. Now we can spawn a root shell, because the root rights are passed from adbd to the shell, which is now root.

6. Sucess! Now lets set everything up!

Is there a JB version that the laud speaker & mic is working?

Why is this problem still exists ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playerjunglejosh:
Because developers are having to create hacks and work arounds just to get stuff running because HTC didnt release Ics or JB for our devices thus they didnt release ics or jb drivers....drivers are fairly difficult to develop for someone to create from scratch, especially considering they dont have any sources or blueprints...not trying to be rude but these developers dont have to make these roms, especially since they are free. You should stop complaining, flash a stable rom and wait for jb to mature instead of acting like your owed a completely smooth rom without any quirks. Just my 2 cents

Hello, I had a 2 year story with Android, I had a Cliq XT in 2010, my girlfriend lost it... and then another Cliq XT, Defy, Atrix 4G, Droid 2 Global, then in May 2012, i bought a RAZR XT910, my girlfriend (yes, the same) used, then it froze, and she removed the battery (DAAAMNNN!!!) and she broke the flex cable from the battery, i bought a replacement, and sold it 3 months ago, then I had a Nokia, she took it and lost it, again...

So, i bought just today an Atrix HD, I'm just happy because its much better than my last phone (Nokia-brick)... but, it has the LCD broken (for 99 dollar, i thinked it was a bargain).

My question is: there's a guide for dissambly or something for the LCD replacement? I opened before an Atrix 4G, the RAZR to replace the battery and the Defy to replace the LCD, so i'm not afraid to open the Atrix HD, but it could be great to have a guide for the ATRIX HD MB886, i looked everywhere but i didn't find nothing.

[MOD] Android Charging Cable ★..:∞ Use Any USB Charger (Even Apple's) ∞:..★

This thread is being created to summarize and condense all the knowledge on the interwebs about charging the Nexus 7 and various other Android Devices.

***I have been told this works for a variety of Nexus/Samsung Galaxy/Blackberry/General Android devices.***

The Google Nexus 7, 10 & 4 (Plus a myriad of other Micro USB devices) will charge from any USB, car or powerbug charger, including those designed for Apple products.

That being said, let's discuss why there are so may issues with chargers/charging with the N7. In order to do that, we need to look at the USB specifications. If you don't care about the technical aspects, feel free to skip ahead to Post #3 (I won't be offended;)) but please don't ask any questions that are clearly answered here as they tend to clog up a thread.

From Wikipedia:

The USB Battery Charging Specification of 2007 defines new types of USB ports, e.g., charging ports.[48] As compared to standard downstream ports, where a portable device can only draw more than 100 mA current after digital negotiation with the host or hub, charging ports can supply currents above 500 mA without digital negotiation. A charging port supplies up to 500 mA at 5 V, up to the rated current at 3.6 V or more, and drop its output voltage if the portable device attempts to draw more than the rated current. The charger port may shut down if the load is too high.

So basically, The Nexus 7 with a standard micro USB cable with the data (inner) pins not shorted will default to a 500mA charging status using a generic/Apple Charger. You still will NOT CHARGE properly even with a 2.1A generic/Apple USB charger. I discovered that even with the N7 powered off and plugged into a 2.1A car charger not only didn't it charge but I'm pretty sure it drained the battery somewhat too.

So What is the Solution? Create/Modify a standard USB cable to allow the N7 to charge from any USB port! Even one that supplies less than 2.1A. :D

The only downside is that this cable will be incapable of data transfer.

Some generic chargers will work, however, if it says designed for iPad/Apple, chances are you'll need the modded cable.

I have built some of these cables and will show you how to build one yourself using the wonderful tool that is digital photography... Please excuse my less than wonderful photographic skills. :o Read on for instructions and Photos!

UPDATE: Android 4.2's Kernel has enabled charging without these cables (&$^#&%*!). They still will be useful for other devices on older versions of Android.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] TheByteSmasher:
The History

So, I looked forever to find a solution. The Targus Universal USB Car Charger (2.1A) has a small (3") adapter cable that comes with it, ostensibly for the Galaxy Tab. That little cable also allows the N7 to be charged from ANY 2A car charger. I was using the adapter with a Scosche reVOLT c2 - Dual 10 Watt (2.1A) USB Car Charger (low-profile) Model# USBC202M

This is the Targus adapter connected to the charger and a standard USB cable.

After some research I discovered the information located in the OP and decided to modify some of my USB cables to work as charging only cables for the N7. This cuts down on the clutter on my dashboard and I don’t need to use an adapter to charge.:victory:​
[Nexus 7 Accessories] TheByteSmasher:
The Method

The method is fairly simple assuming you have a basic working knowledge of wire stripping, soldering and such.

The Materials Required:

:

A Micro USB Cable

A Soldering Iron

Electrical Solder

14 & 28 AWG Stranded Wire (American Wire Gauge) Strippers (A really sharp pocket knife and steady hands can be used instead, but it's harder)

Electrical Tape -OR- Liquid Electrical Tape

Heat Shrink Tubing (1/4" to shrink to 1/8")

A Heat Gun (A lighter will work but this is very tricky and dangerous and NOT recommended, Try a very Hot Hairdryer instead)

ENSURE THE USB CABLE IS COMPLETELY UNPLUGGED PRIOR PERFORMING ANY WORK

•	First cut the USB cable in two. I recommend cutting it about 3/4 the way down toward the micro (Device) end.

•	Strip about 1 inch of both ends of the USB cable (usually 14 AWG Stranded). If the cable is good quality you may find both bare wire and foil shielding around the 4 wire bundle.

•	If present, unwrap and cut off both foil and bare wire.

•	On the charger ended cable, Strip a bit off of the Red and Black wires (see photos) and shorten but don’t strip the Green and White wires.

•	If you are using Heat-Shrink (Highly Recommended) slide it over the USB cable before making any connections. A 3 inch piece should be more than sufficient. Just remember it needs to cover both the job and a bit of the unbroken cable on each end to ensure a good fit and protection.

•	On the device ended cable (micro) Strip a bit of wire off the end of all four of the wires.

•	On the device ended cable (micro) Twist and solder the GREEN and WHITE wires together.

•	Reconnect the 2 cable halves as follows:

o	Twist the Black wires together and solder. I prefer to do it straight as in the photo but side to side works too, it’s just bulkier.

o	Twist the Red wires together and solder.

o	REMEMBER: Only a small amount of solder is required. The bigger the blob, the worse the job.

•	Now you have a choice: You can lightly coat the soldered joints in liquid electrical tape (recommended) or wrap them individually in standard electrical tape. Standard electrical tape is trickier to use since the wires are so small. Since it’s only 5V, not a lot is required. For the liquid (dries in 5 minutes) I did 2 light coats to ensure I coated all exposed wire.

•	Now place the wires next to each other and either:

o	Slide the Heat-Shrink over the entire break, ensuring you have covered some unbroken cable on each end and apply a heat with a heat gun or a hairdryer on hot. Don’t hold the heat source too close or you can melt either your USB cable or the heat shrink. Use a sweeping back and forth motion for best results. -OR-

o	Wrap the entire job in electrical tape, ensuring to have covered at least ½ inch of cable on each end. Wrap with overlapping wraps (spiral like) from one end of the break to the other and then without cutting the tape, reverse and still using the overlapping wraps, wrap back to the starting point.

•	That’s it! The completed cable should look like this
[Nexus 7 Accessories] TheByteSmasher:
The Test

To test this I used a Belkin Surge Suppressor with 2 USB charging outlets. I believe the amperage rating of the charging ports is only 0.5A each.

As you can see, using an unmodified USB cable, The Nexus wouldn’t charge:

Using the Modified USB Cable, Viola!

REMEMBER: Even though the Nexus 7 will draw current from less than 2.1A chargers, They may not provide sufficient current to charge your Nexus while in use. I used the 0.5A charger as an example. I created this cable for use in my car on the 2.1A cigarette lighter plug-in.

I hope this has helped you
