You're definitely going to need to utilize Odin on the PC to get out of it

Edit: Follow the instructions here.....Have you tried a One-Click odin? If your PC won't recognize the phone...restart everything. Try a different USB port, make sure your drivers are installed. I can't think of any other troubleshooting steps.....Maybe a different computer?

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthewsjl:
Hi there....

Picked up a Nook HD the other night. Got ADB going and sideloading but haven't rooted as yet.

One of the Apps I'm using connects to a Bluetooth GPS puck (Nokia LD-3W). I can pair the device (shows as paired but not connected after pairing/pin is completed).

The problem is that the connection can be established to the puck about 1 in 35 attempts. Once the connection is up and running the data transfer (position) is OK so that proves that the connection can work.

I've got ADB up and running and examined the logcats for the pairing and connection process. I can't really tell anything meaningfully different between a failed and good connection aside from a bluetooth message that the device state is connected on a successful connection.

Can anybody give me some pointers on further steps to diagnose the problem? Happy to post logcats as needed......

Thanks,

John.

Try using the BluetoothGPS app from the Play store. Also enable mock locations.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthewsjl:
BluetoothGPS won't install as it states that it's missing a shared library. I've installed one of the other BT-GPS tools and that hasn't rendered any success.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saad_momin:
Hello People,

Let me begin by stating that I am very very new to Android rooting and custom roms (actually, this is my first time ).

I have a SGS2 i9100G. I have attached the screenshot of my phone software details. I have searched on the internet and XDA but am unable to find or maybe understand how to root my device and install CyanogenMod 10 (JB 4.1). Whenever I reach a post which seems like the way to root my device, it talks about firmwares and modems which are different than what my phone has.

I would be very very greatful if someone can sort this for me and provide some links and steps on how can I successfully root my phone and install CM10 (JB 4.1). Thanks a lot already as I know people will start replying in no time.

Cheers !!

But pay attention to what kind of kernel you flash, because you have ICS, and I haven't checked if the links in the thread are maybe for Gingerbread.

About flashing CM10: just follow the flashing guides on xda, and make sure you download the file for I9100G.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saad_momin:
Hey buddy,

Thanks for the reply. I checked the link but it does not says anywhere about which firmware or android version I should be. As the latest update is from March, 2012, I am assuming that this is for Gingerbread with old kernels. I don't feel good about flashing this. Do we have anything specifically for my kernel/firmware?

Thanks for your reply again. Hoping you will lead me to the right path. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
I'm don't really follow the I9100G-threads as I myself have an I9100, so for rooted ICS-kernels you can flash through Odin you have to look for yourself (or someone else might know this)...

And what about flashing the official GB-rom with Odin, then root it with the link I send you, and then upgrade by flashing a custom rom..?:rolleyes:

[LG Optimus 3D] Stinger2U:
Two questions:

1. How do i flash the new touch recovery without using rom manager (.img file from clockworkmod site)?

2. I installed the latest non touch recovery (with rom manager) but it's causing me problems. Every time i install a new rom I can't boot into recovery. I had to use LG flash tool to reinstall the stock v21e gingerbread and start all over again. Then i installed CM10 (which didnt work) and recovery didn't work again so i had to flash with LG flashtool again. Why is this happening?
[LG Optimus 3D] wyciunia:
With Cm10 I also had problem entering recovery, to enter recovery I've had to remove usb cable, then hold power button for 10sec( to have phone completely off) and then hold 3D+vold down+ power. Was releasing power when have backlight and holding buttons until entering recovery. Hope it will help. :) For me it works.

[LG Optimus 3D] Stinger2U:
The older recovery works fine, but that's not the point. I cant think of a single reason why is this happening with the newest version.

So does anyone know how to flash those .img files? Maybe from terminal emulator?
[LG Optimus 3D] ouroukai90:
Yeah, you need to use Terminal emulator.

Instructions:

1. Put it on the root of the internal sdcard

2. Open Terminal App

3. Run :

su

Then

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096

4. Reboot and now it would work !
[LG Optimus 3D] Corvus Corax:
^ Don't know why, but it didn't work for me. Maybe it's needed to install the regular non-touch recovery and then the touch one?

Edit: Nope, that wasn't it. Is CWM 6.0.1.9 for our phone broken? I can't get it to work whatever I try (Recovery Manager or flashing thru Terminal). So I got back to CWM 5.8.1.5 Touch.
[LG Optimus 3D] Stinger2U:
I managed to get the latest recovery running. But as soon as I install another rom it stops working. Weird.

What are you using to install them? Cuz it sounds like you are installing some recovery in the system partition like the ics temp ones

Hi all,

Had my nexus 10 for about a few hours and already see dust under the screen.

I have not removed any of the plastic from the device at all even and has spent most of its time just charging on my desk.

Anyone else see this on theirs?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkym0nkey:
It is very unlikely that it is dust under the screen. Have you checked that it is not just dust / ding on the top screen protector that comes with the tablet? Remove that and check as most likely it is dust on that plastic screen protector on the top.

The display is bonded with the screen so it is highly unlikely that any gap is left for dust to get between front glass and screen.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atg284:
People have reported that there is dust in the screen from the manufacturing process. But yes take the protector off first then report back.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcb4:
It probably is, My first one had dust under the screen. If it was just under the screen protector you would most likely have a bubble.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vashypooh:
I returned it and exchanged at a different Walmart.

I Peeled back the protector and could see it with the screen off. It was indeed a white spec of dust.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skibadee:
It's actually highly likely if it looks white with the screen off, but black when it's on. One of the 3 I'm waiting to return, has exactly this defect.

Either someone at Samsung's factory has dandruff, or they ran out of pledge.

Seriously though it's so common Samsung really need to get on top of whatever is causing it.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vashypooh:
My understanding is it is pretty rare for samsungs to have dust under the screen due to optical lamination, which is why I was so confused / angry at the dust. Unacceptable for a tablet at this price point. Especially coming right out of the box and never having the plastic even taken off..
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vashypooh:
And this one sadly seems to have an imperfection in the glass itself. It's got a single spot that appears black, and when looking at it with the screen off you can see it, it's not white, but rather looks like a super tiny spec.

Hard to describe this, I have never seen a screen have it.. I tried hitting it with isopropyl but, it isn't on the top level, and looks inside the glass itself. You can see its reflection on the pixels with the screen off.

How odd.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vashypooh:
Drove 40 minutes to find #3.

It has the same issue as the second, some kind of defect in the glass.

Think I am just going to return it instead of exchanging for more. It is obvious Samsung doesn't know what the hell they are doing.

Sad because I love the tablet.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tietherope:
The second and third devices I received both had dust in the screen.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vashypooh:
Saddens me to hear that. I am probably going to keep trying again and again for a bit. Walmart in the first return screwed me by sending it back to gift card, so all exchanges now show the gift card as origional source. A refund is going to be a headache :(
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tietherope:
The second one had at least 6 visible specks of dust under the screen and was sent back for that reason. My third unit has just one spot of dust which can be found when looking closely. Held at regular viewing distance you really need to look hard for it, so I'm keeping the device.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasha101:
Because of one dust particle your going to return the tablet and settle for something else? Fail
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vashypooh:
This is not a dust spec actually. It is something inside the glass. It looks like something that cured inside the glass and as I said, im likely to just keep bugging Walmart sadly. Wouldn't be so bad if they had a real stock of them to exchange.

Sucks.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skibadee:
Would a dead pixel bother you?

If not move along..

If yes then understand that this dust isn't just a clean freak issue worried about an untidy tablet :P

The dust shows as black dots on white backgrounds, much like a dead pixel. Considering most of the time you'll have a white background, it is very noticeable.

Acceptable on a £159 n7? Maybe?

On a £400 n10, no way.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vashypooh:
That's been my point. If this was a Nexus 7 or on my old Kindle fire, I'd say well damn and move on. Heck my Rezound has a dust spec under the screen and I survive.

A brand new out of the box tablet that was 500 dollars? Yea, that's going back every time. Once dust is under the screen it almost always just gets worse and worse.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M Diddy:
I just just my replacement Nexus 10. First one has a stuck pixel and some bad bleeding along the bottom right edge. Not horrible, but annoying.

Second one, the bleeding is better, but there's a HUGE dust particle stuck under the screen sitting on the panel.:mad::mad::mad:

It's MUCH more noticeable as on any time there's color on the screen, all you see is a black dot. The replacement is going back.

Honestly, as much as I love Android and the whole Nexus idea, the QC these companies put into the Nexus devices is horrific. I had to go through 3 N7's before I got one that had "acceptable" screen lift on the left side (and this one has a faulty light sensor that will turn the screen off when Auto-Brightness is on), and I'm now thinking about going for a 3rd Nexus 10. As nice as the tablet is, stuff like this gets REALLY annoying.

Is it true there no way to remove that spec of dust? Is the panel fused to the screen?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edirector:
Walmart may be the problem. They don't get the highest quality of any product that's why they can sell it cheaper. One could imagine some of the stuff they sale barely passing the manufacturers quality assurance. Walmart would be the last place I would buy electronics. Go to any of the office stores for it. The quality will be better than at least Walmart and they stand behind the products they sell better. Most will go the length to make sure you walk away a satisfied customer. Best Buy is questionable too, just saw a video on youtube where the guy said his sealed box had half the contents missing. If that is at all possible and the AC adapter caused a wall fire. Still scratching my head on that one.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TellTenPeople:
Dust inder glass

I too had this problem with two units (original and exchange) directly from the Google Play Store -- for now, the only way to get the Nexus 10 in Canada. Each had a rather large and unignorable speck of dust under the glass the near the middle of the screen. Since the glass and screen are fused this is obviously a manufacturing error on Samsung's part and, evidently, not an uncommon one.

The whole point of the Nexus 10 for me was the display and to have it so marred defeated the whole point of having one. I was so disgusted by the whole affair that I just returned the second one and have sworn off buying anything made by Samsung until I can stomach it. A hand-me-down Nexus 7 will serve my purposes for now -- at least I know it doesn't have any flaws.

This rather begs the question, is there a trend with Samsung where the first batch of the first generation of a new technology is defect-prone and then gets better later on or is shoddy quality assurance par for the course for the lifetime of a product? I don't buy tablets often (I'm still using an original Xoom) so I'm not quite sure how it goes.
