[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nemov:
I think I have double rooted my Galaxy Tab 8.9 - but my tiny technical mind is thinking they have probably cancelled eachother out... or probably the second root did not work because the first root file was still present? in any case it is not allowing me to remove bloatware / Superuser App appears to be not granted root access so my rootin tootin first dive into tablet hacking has gone awry! Can you help?

I have a UK Galaxy Tab 32Gb 3G (GT-P7300). I tried installing two separate root zip files via the standard recovery mode, my first attempt should have been flashed/installed in CWM recovery (according to a user on XDA) - but wasn't. I then did factory reset, and tried the standard root advice as given on the top of the XDA Developers GT 8.9 thread. In both cases, I assume the root has not worked, because root checker, and more importantly Superuser App does is not gaining root access. Weirdly, an app called Orbot, which usually tells me that my HTC phone is not rooted, does not do the same when I install it on my GTab 8.9.

I have tried backing up to an old back up via KIES, and also a regular factory reset, but neither seem to get me back to square one (i.e the Superuser app is still installed (and not working) in both cases).... any ideas gratefully received!

I'm thinking of using the Factory Reset function from within CWM Recovery....good idea? or will it wipe everyting including the OS?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nemov:
No root

I've managed to get back to square one, but flashing the unroot.zip from the How to guide, from within CWM recovery. Then factory reset just to be sure. Then followed original instructions on the how to guide, but once I had flashed the root.zip file, it appeared (in CWM Recovery) to have installed ok, but when I go to reboot, it tells me that "root access may have been lost - fix it?" - I say yes, it reboots, and superuser again cannot gain root access....

what am i doing wrong here?

Any help really appreciated...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nemov:
Hi Folks - I've tried all combinations now and am wondering if:-

The root.zip file contained in the GTab89Files.zip from the How to guide in this forum is out of date... is that possible? or my second guess is that superuser App is out of date...when I open it up, click the "i" information menu, is says su binary v3.1.1 - outdated binary box is ticked, and i then tap to update...everything green or okay, until "Gaining root access.....FAIL" :(:( - ( by the way, I have I think given Superuser the admin rights, by selecting Preferences>Auto response>Allow)

I know there is a new version of Superuser v3.1.3 available. Would it help, do you think, to swap out the superuser.apk file in the original root.zip mentioned above? or will I get into a real mess then?

I've searched all over these threads but can't seem to find an answer - any advice appreciated.

Okay I have asked around everywhere I can, and I can not get a straight answer from anyone. I would really like to get to the bottom of this if possible. It is my final deciding factor on if I buy this device or the Galaxy Note 2.

I want to know how many pins the HTC Droid DNA has in the MicroUSB Port. I am asking because I want the phone to be able to handle both HDMI out + OTG at the same time. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has an 11-pin port which when used with the Samsung Smart Dock allows simultaneous HDMI + OTG. If it does ill buy the DNA + the Smart Dock and get the best of both!

Please let me know!

As there is no mention of HDMI support of any kind (and the USB port comes covered, as they want you to use wireless charging) my inclination is no. That it'll only support pure USB (5-pin)
[HTC Droid DNA] clydefrog187:
yes it does...

According to this line on phonearena.com... phonearena.com/phones/HTC-DROID-DNA_id7498_ (sorry not sure if we're allowed to post specific links or not), yes, the Droid DNA micro USB is capable of sending an HDMI out signal.

Under Specs...

Pros

Quad core processor

Very fast processor (1500 MHz)

Lots of RAM (2048 MB RAM)

Very big display (5 inches)

Extremely high pixel density screen, over 300ppi (441 ppi)

High-resolution display (1080 x 1920 pixels)

High-resolution camera (8 megapixels)

Dual-mode CDMA/GSM phone

NFC

HDMI connector for TV-out (via microUSB)

[HTC Droid DNA] ohiwastedmylife:
Wow why can no one answer my question. Of course it handles HDMI out I knew that like a week ago. How does no on care about the phone being able to do both HDMI + OTG at the SAME TIME. What the hell do I have to do to get a straight answer? I want to know, how many pins the MicroUSB port has in it, 5 ? or 11? 11 Means that you can use the phone essentially as a portable computer and not only hook it up to your flatscreen but also run an external flash/hard drive, charge, use a usb hub, use mouse & keyboard, ETC. Out of this many people with Android smartphones how is it that only like 10 care if a device has this capability.

HDMI + OTG SIMULTANEOUS YES OR NO ? ANYONE? PLEASE!
[HTC Droid DNA] nrfitchett4:
I guess because the rest of us have media servers, xbox's, bluray players and roku boxes for watching stuff on our televisions...

Been using smartphones for a long time, never tried to do all that. The only reason I would hdmi out my phone is home videos and YouTube.

Not sure that answers your question specifically, but maybe indirectly?
[HTC Droid DNA] Russellw10:
I believe the HTC Droid DNA has a 5 pin layout. I just bought it today, and I can see that it has 5 pins on the center piece, just like my Samsung Galaxy S2, which I know is a 5 pin layout for MHL.
[HTC Droid DNA] Wired4Fun:
Did you even read the OPs post before responding?? How 'bout his follow up questions??

He wants to know if the phone has USB OTG technology. As in 'can it read a flash drive?'

He's addressing the exact same question that you tried to offer to my comment in another thread, but it appears your reply to that thread was misinformed.

Do you actually put any thought into your replies, or are you simply trying to get the high score on post count??:confused:

Not the best pics, but does this help?
[HTC Droid DNA] hostqge0113:
I am using a 4 port hub but built cable to otg and plug into HTC bb g600 for power so it doesn't drain power from the DNA. My first attempt is successful in powering usb device and transfering data rather quick compared to using the DNA for power. I have a cable on order that will allow me to otg and plug charger in to charge phone since the built one didn't come from HTC it won't charge it. Don't know if this is useful to anyone else but me, but it does resolve needing external power plugged to wall or laptop etc. Still not sure how many pins. It does power a thumb drive just with otg cable and 32 gig sd plugged to usb adapter but I don't like the draw it has on battery performance without battery pack.

Ps...hdmi adapter on way as well so will let know if otg plus hdmi work together.

Pss... I know the hdmi adapter works on DNA still haven't tested both at same time will post this evening.

you must have a computer configured w/drivers or you wont be able to do anything
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] billownz:
If you can't get into custom recovery or can't reset you will need Odin. Don't panic. If you can boot into download mode your phone is not broken. Just find a PC where you can install drivers.

Okay, well I'm a flashaholic and my gps worked for awhile until 3 ROMs ago. Now I'm trying to flash BlackJelly but no dice on the GPS

The icon doesnt even pop up when its enabled

I have a Rogers I747M model.

Things I've tried:

in CWM factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache.

factory reset in black jelly

restore stock with ODIN

in CWM again, do the exact same as above^^

factory reset in stock rom

pull hair out of head.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vw671:
If you have old nandroid backups, keep restoring different ones till the GPS works again. Then try to upgrade your ROM again. If you don't have backups then you have to restore back to stock with ODIN and upgrade from there.

It is unknown why this "feature" is triggered at this time just speculation. I've been calling the the "AT&T GPS Death" issue :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Check your flash counter, reset to zero with Triangle away if need be, flash stock lg1, let the phone auto update to lh9, call att (or visit your local store), get warranty replacement
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vw671:
If you flash a lot of ROM's the odds are it's going to eventually happen to you again. I would personally save the warranty replacement for something else. If you keep going back for replacements they are eventually going to deny you...IMO.

Did you try to clear your AGPS data and reload it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blackroseMD1:
I finally got it working again.

Flashed the stock firmware tar through Odin, let it boot up and fill in your info as normal. Once you're booted to the homescreen, do a factory reset from settings, not recovery. Once I rebooted and signed back in, GPS was working correctly again. Just locked on to 18 sats after not being able to even see one for the last couple days.

Actually, I had wiped my internal storage earlier in the day, so I can't really say.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] egyptshun:
It shouldn't. even doing the HARD factory reset (which I found out only works on ICS based sammy roms) doesnt touch your ubs storage (16 n 32gb internal)

Is it possible to root an update.zip, then install the update to gain root access. I have seached the net for weeks to find a way to root this table with no luck. I cannot get adb access to the table with the provided drivers (no device found). But I have the Update.zip from the manufacturer is this possible? Can an update.zip be rooted and can someone walk me through this process.

It sometimes can be posible to root a stock rom. I did. What type of tablet er phone do you have? I have a Chinees tablet. I have been able to make and flash my home made rooted tock rom thanks to this post here: http://www.chinadigitalcomm.com/post23364.html

Over 200 people flashed my stock rom to there device.

You can alsow take the register key file from you're stock rom and try again if it does not work. It can be found in system\etc\security of you're stock rom. The file you need is testkey.x509

I to did look for weeks to get a way to sign my stock rom right.

If i'm right you're on windows? Me to. And i have Linux to develop rom and recovery and stuff.

Have a look at my thread here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1935162

Here is the stock rom i rooted. Dutch language: http://www.androidworld.nl/forum/to...ent-7-rootedstock-rom-updated-11-11-12-a.html

Have a look at the rom and see you i changed the update script and put su in xbin and bin folder. And the superuser.apk in the right folder.

I gues you have to make sure windows is able to find you're device. Most easy to do that in Lunix! See my first forum post.

You could try and build a Recovery FakeFlash update.zip I think that will flash on you're stock rom. Does for me.

Pm me if you want to be sure i see this post again;)

Goodluck

2. After delete (or rename) "LockScreen.apk" there is an ugly grey button in the bottom if you use swipe or face unlock.

3. LG Contacts call logs has some white on white text. After I flash back stock version, there is dark grey on black.

Also there is should be green version, not only blue. IMHO

First of all new member :] got this on a contract in the uk with Vodafone only carrier that had this in stock, and today silly me thought yeah ill root it to get teh max out of the Tegra chip, bad idea.

I have searched for about 6 hours now to try and find a way to flash it back it gets to the HTC logo and goes off i can get into the fast boot menu and have cleared the cache and tried again no luck, i cant find the right ROM for it because its quite a new phone and all the searches bring back how to root the ONE X not the +, so if anyone has a direct link to the HTC ONE X+ Vodafone UK ROM ver 1.14.401.16 i was trying to find it.

Now i am here to tell my horror story for anyone else with this phone from this carrier if it gets to the fast boot menu re lock it clear your cache and update through the .EXE from this DL

<there was a URL for the (icxperia.com/jonny/RUU/HTC%20One%20X+%201.14.401.13/)

this one worked for me and saved me alot of confusion.

so my next question after nearly destroying my brand new phone :] is there a safe way to root this bad boy yet? yes i am probably really stupid but i will not be phased by this in the slightest and would love to try out that game boosting app as shadow gun likes to stutter a bit and its driving me crazy.

(I would like to thank everyone in the RECOVER FROM NEARLY EVERYTHING THREAD helped alot! and too whoever posted that original link for the ROM i owe you so much!)
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
You learnt a valuable lesson about making sure you read and understand procedures before undertaking them. You should now know that as you have a vodaphone branded device. You can only flash a Vodaphone UK branded RUU, so you need to make sure that before you try anything again you have a compatible backup rom! You are lucky, some carriers do not release there branded RUU's, so you could of ended up with a brick :victory:

As for rooting. You need to unlock bootloader using the HTC DEV site. Once your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash Lloirs custom recovery in the original android development forum. From there you can either flash a pre rooted custom rom, or flash a rooted update.zip and root your branded official rom. :)
