As stated, I am unrooted, but still have CWM recovery on my phone.

I want to flash the original RUU, so I can send it back to the seller without a trace of it being rooted at all.

I can't get into bootloader using volume down, home, and the power button...because the power button doesn't work.

Is there anything you guys suggest, or is there a way to get into bootloader through ADB or an application?

Thanks,

hazEup
[Droid X General] ogkhaze:
Bump.

Anybody?

No possible way to get into bootloader without the power button?

Just wanna flash this RUU...

pull battery, replace battery

Hold volume up+down buttons , or hold Vol.Down and Camera

connect to wall charger or usb/pc

if phone always boots up when replacing battery

press buttons before replacing battery

may need to be usb/pc

I'm in the same boat trying to do a friend's phone. I've tried holding the buttons before putting the battery back in. The screen flashes but stays black for a while and then boots up normally. I'll try with it connected to the PC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEKHD:
Well, I have a carrier unlocked Note 2 from AT&T, and I have 1 sim from AT&T and another sim from T-Mobile... Okay... My Note 2 right now is with the International ROM that is all over the AT&T forums here on XDA (and t-mobile forums as well) with the multi-window feature... I added the AT&T APN and I get LTE with my AT&T sim of course...

Now, when I insert the T-Mobile sim I only get Edge on T-Mobile, just like the Note 1. All I need is to flash a hybrid modem or T-Mobile modem and I should get HSPA+ (3.5G) on T-Mobile, exactly as the Note 1...

I already ordered from ebay the dual sim adapter, I just need to wait for an Hybrid modem to show up and I am all set with high speed on both networks...

In the case of AT&T and T-Mobile... If you are going to use both networks... The best bet is to use a T-Mobile ROM and use it with AT&T instead of the other way around, because T-Mobile rom has wifi calling... So... The best choice is to use a tmobile rom and use it with tmobile and AT&T... The issue at this point in time is that there is no tmobile rom with wifi calling and multi window... So, that is why I am using the International ROM right now... Because of the multi window feature, but as soon as there is a ROM with wifi calling and multi window... Then that's the best choice...

But my question... Can anyone confirm a successful T-Mobile ROM Flash on the AT&T Note 2? Same for T-Mobile Modem... Any 3.5G with T-Mobile on AT&T Note 2 instead of EDGE...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
I can't figure it out so maybe someone will help me (using MIUI as example).

What exactly is the benefit of using JB-based MIUI over GB-based MIUI apart from the fact of having the newest thing on the block? I found only TWO minor things:

- good voice recognition of Android 4+ (I don't even know if MIUI has it built in)

- in MIUI JB you can have pattern screenlock as a single lock. There is no way of avoiding double screenlock on GB MIUI.

So is it really worth loosing HALF of the Quadrant score - I get ~950 points in JB MIUI and 1900 in GB MIUI (which I suppose means JB roms are two times slower than GB roms) and some extra space on data partition?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dethrat:
Did you seriously just write that.

Everyone knows benchmarks are worthless in the grand scheme of things. Except for testing new high end phones (even then there not accurate enough.)

GB MIUI is probably a little faster but no were near 2 TIMES faster than JB MIUI.

Though MIUI in general was never that fast anyway
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
In the grand scheme of things we could just use Nokias 3100 and our lives would not be much different.

There is a big difference in benchmark result between different roms on the same phone, so obviously it IS measuring something.

GB MIUI is also twice as fast as GB CM7 on my phone.

I'm running Spazedog ICS and i'm getting 2100pts ;)

However, SPazedog is a very stable ROM
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
I can give you more than that on a froyo rom. It still is a fake score.

- Swyped from my Galaxy Note 2
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wastadkey:
Aside form arguing whether benchmarks work:

A- Aesthetics, ICS is unbelievably beautiful :laugh:

B- All the launcher features, Keyboard mouse (if you do some scripting)

C- As mentioned voice recognition is great

D- Upgraded GApps

E- List goes on...its the little things that count

And yes, Spacedog rom for the bravo kicks a**

Have you never tried a ICS or JB ROM? Just make a backup and flash one. There are really good smooth/stable ICS ROMs, and JB with butter is really tasty, though still some bugs. Not slow at all though. Give it a go.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twisted_forever:
I think people need to redefine the words 'stable' and 'smooth' as well as 'fast' coz I didn't get those when using ICS or JB (with a tons of bugs that, I think, will not be solved anytime soon).

[HTC One X] Masterstruck:
Hi.

I have an unlocked HTC One X bought from Amazon, shipped from Europe (Vodafone one)

For almost all November I have waited for the Jelly Bean OTA but it seems that it won´t come to my phone so I just rooted it and wiped everything in order to explore the Custom ROM´s option.

On one hand there is the CyanoGenMod which appears to be not a stable ROM.

On the other I see there is one form ParanoidAndroid (pa_evita-2.54...)

I need the forum´s help in order to find out which one is the best option right now and if this is still better than wait for the Vodafone JellyBean roll out.

Thanks!

buddy.. no one here will ever give you an answer if you ask" what is the best??" coz best is really a relative word....

[HTC One X] chaun1308:
Since you want JB-ROM that badly , with your current CID you won't be able to update your hboot to later versions to be able to support JB-ROMs so the choices you can choose are AOSP / AOKP / MIUI . Since you have problems with CyanogenMod ( AOSP ) and MIUI is not a good choice either . Go for IceColdJelly ( AOKP )

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] JdeFalconr:
I'm coming to the GN2 from a Lumia 900. One of the features I'm missing badly is the text entry behavior of the 900. When entering text it begins suggesting words just like the GN2. However after you complete your word and hit space to move on the 900 would automatically pick what it thought was the most likely candidate and change your entry to match. In fact it was rarely ever wrong, and it made it so I didn't have to go back and correct spelling mistakes as I do with my GN2. It saved tons of time on text entry in emails, IM's, etc.

Is there a way to enable similar functionality on the GN2?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I ended up changing my mind, and going with the stock amazon case.

I'm not really liking it though. Fit is very nice, but when the cover is opened all the way against the back of the tablet, and you're holding it, the edges of the case are kind of "sharp", and dig in, at least the way I hold it.

It looks nice, but I'm not 100% sure I'd recommend it to anybody.

I bought a rooCASE Slim-Fit for $12 2 days ago. Now its down to $8. Blah!

Has anyone found a TPU case?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Accessories] F@@dog:
Unfortunately it is a knockoff of the Case Crown, also sold on Amazon. It has one flaw (major) and one minor one for me. First, the Kindle is housed in the case UPSIDE DOWN! Didn't know there was an upside down? Shut you Kindle .9 down. reboot with the camera on your right side. Notice that the icon comes up upside down? !!! No big deal? You will find ESPN and Dish (slingbox) to name a couple In the instant of the Case Crown, you can rotate the holder 180 degrees so that the .9 is held correctly. Unfortunately that defeats the magnetic On off feature. The case is MUCH larger than the Amazon case making it just a tad more difficult for those of us who do not have extra large mitts to hold it in one MITT for an extended period of time. The added bulk and weight was just not my cup of (bourbon), Tea.

I sent my Case Crown back last week right after the Kindle case arrived. The Amazon case is expensive I think, could have at least had Plush leather and the sharp ridges on the right side of the case fall just where my thumb sets. but then, it's the only game in town at the moment.

Addition to my last note on the .9 Case alternatives. ANY bifold case will set the Fire, be it 7" OR 8.9" upside down in the case.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Accessories] Geekybiker:
The Amazon case is pretty much the only one that puts the camera towards the spine of the case. Its only really an issue if you have to hold the spine on the left. Open it with the spine on the right and everything is dandy. I think of it more a design flaw with the kindle than the case makers. They also decided to put the power port on the bottom when setup in landscape mode (like most folks will use for extended viewing, or using with a keyboard, etc. Some of the trifold cases get the ports off the ground a bit more where you might be able to squeeze the power in, but its something to look for when buying if that's important to you.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakejm79:
I understand the differences of each, just looking for some feedback on stability. I just bought my gf a used captivate so she could get away from a Sprint SERO plan and go ST prepaid with a good phone.

I have always used CM so that is what I will stick her with, but since she isnt tech savvy I am hoping to keep it simple and reliable. I know the captivate never came with ICS, so is running an ICS inherently less stable or since everything is built from AOSP does it not matter much. Also I read that the only issues with CM9 stable is mostly to do with mSD/USB.

Thanks for any input, I did a search, but there was nothing specific to the captivate.

If you are S-Off, then there is no need to use HTC Dev to unlock your bootloader.

You can just flash an unlocked hboot like Revolutionary or Juopunutbear.

You'll need to relock your bootloader before that using this command:

Hey everybody,

I've tried looking to see if there was a thread about these two batteries before posting but came up with no results. I'm running a stock SGSII (4.0.4) with an Otterbox Defender (downhill skateboarding/military protection). Phone usage includes emails, texting, FB and games.

I'm looking for an extended battery after going through TWO Samsung OEM batteries within 11 months. Both the batteries got the bulge of death. Sprint store techs have run multiple diagnostics and replaced parts but have no idea why this is happening and won't replace my phone.

I came across a 'Galilio' 2500mAh battery as well as a 'Sporting Persistence' 2520 mAh battery while searching around on eBay. I'm staying away from the Andida 2300mAh after reading several stories about how the contacts were misaligned and the battery wasn't really 2300mAh.

I don't want to go with a big, bulky case due to my requirements for protection. I've read about the Mugen 1950mAh batteries being pretty decent, but they're a bit more than I want to spend.

Thoughts? Ideas? Anyone tried either of these?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
I got a 2100mah battery that was really just a fake. It does work fine as a spare and it was cheap but its worse life than stock. I suspect those 2500mah you found are fakes too. I tried the andida which had better life than stock but the contact misalignment caused random reboots after a while.

My suggestion is to just buy an external charger and multiple batteries. I just pop an extra battery in my pocket and go about my day then if I burn thru two batteries in one day I still have the third at home.
