[Nexus 7 General] xEnt22:
Hi guys, i performed an all in one update to 4.2 from stock non rooted 4.1, it didnt work properly and now im stuck in fast boot screen with a locked bootloader.

i see the START button with the google icon, i can switch it between power off, recovery mode, restart bootloader. Start does nothing, power off works, restart bootloader works, recovery mode does nothing and says booting failed.

nothing works on the tablet its self, no matter what option i try i cant get out of that part.

I then downloaded WugFresh's all in one toolkit, ADB options are out of the question as that doesn't recognise in this part of the N7. fastboot stuff works, i tried pretty much ever option including the softbrick/bootloop recovery options and they don't even work.

When doing that, the command prompt that starts up spits this out:

[Nexus 7 General] WarningHPB:
I think you might want to unlock the boot loader first.

You would need to run the command

fastboot oem unlock

And that will unlock the boot loader which should mean that you can flash the ROM.

And then if you want to lock the boot loader again after flashing the ROM you would need to run

fastboot oem lock
[Nexus 7 General] dr.m0x:
Another example of why toolkits suck. If you can't do it manually don't, otherwise you will struggle with problems like this.

The update failed in some way because you still have the bootloader from 4.1.2. So long as you can get into the bootloader, you are not bricked though. Just got to unlock it and flash manually the update using the fastboot, method and you'll be sweet.

If your tablet turns on, it's not bricked.

So many people use that term with no clue as to what it means.
[Acer Iconia A500] ibawanzingee:
Hey xda,

I'm on 4.1.2 at this point, but 3.0 was my favorite update as far as aesthetics goes. I really like the Honeycomb fonts, colors and icons. My question is this: How do I change just the status bar clock to the original HC font while still on JB?

I have tried changing: (found at this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=937802)

AndroidClock.ttf

AndroidClock_Highlight.ttf

AndroidClock_Solid.ttf

Clockopia.ttf

and they didn't work. AndroidClock and the related files represent the lock screen click, and when I changed Clockopia, nothing happened. Is the font for the status bar clock in framework or SystemUI?

Thanks guys, keep rockin!
[Acer Iconia A500] armada786:
Just so you know, the Honeycomb time font for the lock screen had a solid and highlight part, which needed two layers. You'll only be able to use "AndroidClock.ttf" I think, since it's the "full" version. Not quite exact but close enough.
[Acer Iconia A500] ibawanzingee:
yeah, the clockopia one is blended and complete. do you know which font represents the status bar clock so I'll be able to change it?

Thanks for the reply.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] evo4gfan:
Hello all,

I was wondering if the thread --> [2012.11.08][SGH-I317/M] CF-Auto-Root v1.0 in the original android development is the only way to root the galaxy note 2 (at&t). Is it just "in the works"? is my main concern.

I know the possibility of methods being released later down the months when there is more support and development for the device.

The phone just came out so I'm not expecting a whole lot, but I was just concerned that maybe I should wait on rooting until a more stable method is released. I'm just worried that if I root I may not be able to go back to another method. Should I just root it now? Is there any benefit to rooting now vs later down the road? :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] powerwagon:
Couldn't be any easier to do... Took like 1 minute from beginning to end. There is nothing unstable about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJHile:
It's truly a matter of personal opinion whether or not to root. Some of us flashaholics can't wait and some of us are trying to hold out until at least the first official OTA unless something comes out that we just can't resist lol

There are a few apps I'm missing right now by not rooting but then again the phone does damn near everything I need/want without customization/rom flashes. I would like to experience the multi view feature but I suppose in due time it will be here.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note II (SGH-I317) on the infamous AT&T Network.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] evo4gfan:
Yeah when is that multi-view feature coming? I thought it was supposed to be built into the software already...but yeah I agree with you. It depends on personal choice. I was wondering if the current root method was stable...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] powerwagon:
Current root method is stable... Did it earlier this morning.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] inspectagadget:
Rooting is a personal thing. I'm a flashaholic to the core but I'm waiting for at&t to give us the OTA we need for split screen. I'm waiting for the right ROM to be cooked up before I even root my baby. But hey, that's just my personal preference right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RMXO:
Rooting is worth it just to do nandroids, triangle away w/ a custom kernel (reset counter) & Titanium Backup (apps).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trollercoaster:
Hi,

I just did a manual update from Jelly Bean 4.1.2 to Jelly Bean 4.2. Now, I would actually like to switch to Cyanogenmod 10. I have done a backup using Titanium (on JB 4.2). The only concern I have right now is, is it okay to restore the backup on CM10? Or would it cause problems?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
If you don't restore data (system or app), you should be fine. If you face issues, factory reset.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trollercoaster:
Thanks for the reply!

But in Titanium, the options for backup/restore are "system data" and "user apps".. Does that mean I won't be able to restore anything on CM10 ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Sorry, to clarify: don't restore system data, system app, app data. You can restore only apps, but not their data.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dioscorus:
So a few days ago I installed Nova Launcher, got root, changed my dpi to 170, applied the screen off SMS fix, and installed accuweather. I feel like battery life has decreased considerably. I usually don't leave my phone plugged in overnight, but did yesterday. Today, I am down to 81% with 22m on screen time -- at this rate, I would get an hour and a half on a full charge, where I've gotten 3 days and 5 hours of on screen time before when the phone was 100% stock. I had the phone in airplane mode for most of the day, but the battery graph still shows a sharper than usual decline. I just uninstalled accuweather to see if that would help, and will do a complete drain this charge cycle. Anyone else seen something similar to this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdizzle316:
I installed nova launcher prime and my battery life is still amazing. Although I'm not rooted, I wouldn't think that root is the issue. Have you installed an app that has gone rogue and is constantly running? For my part devices that was the problem most of the time. Check your battery stays to see if you can identify which app is exhausting your battery and if you can't, my suggestion is to hard reset to get better results.

One of the great things about the note is the battery life. It would suck to have this advantage become a disadvantage. Good luck
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MeetFace:
Search for better battery stats here on Xda. You can get the paid app for free (though I recommend purchasing it).

It may help you identify the app, or service eating cycles, or draining your battery.

Did you by chance recently enable Google now?

Or do you have maps reporting/updating your location with GpS radio enabled?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] intelli78:
Yes, I experienced something very similar, as did at least one other user in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1977476

My battery suddenly went from being awesome to draining about 1% every 5-10 minutes with no apparent cause, even while sleeping. I wiped and re-flashed, which did not seem to help, then tried an odin re-flash, with still questionable results immediately thereafter. The next day, it seemed to be spontaneously resolved - though, I'm not convinced my battery life is quite as good as some people are reporting.

Interestingly, better battery stats did not show any suspect activity.

I know that's not a solution, but you are definitely not alone. There is something weird going on here. That other user theorized it might be a calibration issue. Seems as plausible to me as anything else. If you are feeling patient, perhaps let it be for a day or two and see if it does indeed spontaneously resolve for you. That would be a helpful data point. If you can't bring yourself to do that, at least keep us updated on what you do and the results.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] crashdogy:
Need help with my razor maxx it had been working fine for about 2 mouths. It started to get slow and the widgets where laggy when I touched them, and my live wallpaper keep freezing up I also have some reboots. So I un-rooted and went back to stock NO change. It is acting the same way, I have tried factory reset, cache wipes, no viruses , no malware, system clean, try it in safe mode same issues, new update .215 and factory reset again. Its fine and working ok for about 20 minutes may be 30 mins after reboot but then have the same issues any ideas or help greatly appreciated ?:confused:

I think I got it working now been up and running for about 13 hours now no reboots or freezing up. I’m not sure how I fixed it but the last thing I did was I went into fast boot and selected option #6 and rebooted it, did seem like it did anything but it’s working now. Thanks for the help

If it's flashed via CWM it's not really a *hardware* fix, now is it? :)

Great post,what are U aiming at(for device)since vibrant is coming to me:)?
[Vibrant General] eksasol:
I was going to get the Nexus 4, but I bought a Galaxy Nexus for $200 instead. I am reading on the Nexus 4 feedbacks to see any issues, it probably was the right thing to not get it right away, there seems to be build issues with the glass, breaking due to pressure while in pockets, similar to the S3. Also there are proprietary drivers especially by Qualcomm, I guess without them custom roms won't get the best performance, so I'll see about that also.

The Galaxy Nexus is so fast once you customize it anyway, so its good enough for now. I feel like I'm spoiled on small screen size, it felt strange going back to these giant screens.

Has anyone figured out how to transfer podcasts to a WP8 device and have them be recognized by the OS as podcasts (instead of just plain songs)? There must be a way because the desktop sync app is able to pull downloaded podcasts from your itunes library and have them show up as actual podcasts on the phone.

Amen! Would love to be able to just copy my MP3 books into the podcast directory and then be able to listen to them using the built in podcast player. Then my bookmarks are saved and it works flawlessly.

iTunes Work Around

Hi all

This was posted in the WPCentral forums:

"I just managed to get some podcasts onto my phone... (thanks to a suggestion from @TheRomit on Twitter)

If you've not already got it installed, install iTunes (bare with me)... and find your podcast(s) in the iTunes Store. Subscribe to them, and let it download at least one episode of each.

Then crank up the Windows Phone sync tool, and import settings from iTunes. You should see your podcasts appear under the Xbox music app. From there you can then hit Subscribe, and it should automatically down your podcasts (when you're plugged into power, and on wifi). I haven't tried the last bit yet, but it let me subscribe fine."

God bless

IIRC, later in that very thread the guy corrects his instructions and notes that subsequent episodes DO NOT automatically download.

[HTC EVO 3D] Konfuzion:
Hey everyone I have a problem I just flashed CyanogenMod 10 - GANGNAM STYLE - Nov. 11, 2012 and I am stuck in a boot loop. I am on HBOOT 1.58 with S-OFF but I noticed my bootloader is locked but it use to be unlocked. I came from Mean Rom and I am guessing thats where my bootloader got locked but I am not sure. Anyway even my nandroid backups get me stuck in a boot loop and anything I flash boot loops as well, is that because my bootloader is locked? If so whats the best way to go about unlocking it?

Thanks in advance for any help.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
See the "?" in the title of your thread? And the two "?'s" in the last line of your post. We have have a forum for questions called, oddly enough, the Q&A Forum. ;)

Your bootloader is probably locked because you did the wire trick to get S-OFF and that's fine. Don't unlock it. It's better to flash a custom bootloader than using the htcdev method to unlock it again, and that will give you access to same fastboot commands.

For most ROM's you need an hboot lower than 1.58 so I'll refer you to this post and suggest you go with the JBear 1.50.5050 bootloader unless you decide to run a ROM such as Cool ICS or Viper3D that currently requires the 1.58 bootloader.
