[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjim:
I was happily running along with my GT2 10.1 5113 using CM10, updating nightlies, all is well. Then I put the CM 10.1 unofficial, that went well, was using it and put the 12/09 version on, that went well also. However I decided I didn't like it and wanted to go back to CM10. I had a back up that I made in CWM with the 12/08 nightly and had begun restoring it when an error came up stopping the restore, only said file error restore can't continue. OK, that kinda blows chunks cause I know my rom just got hammered. Tried to restart, boot loop. Got back into recovery re flashed the CM 10.1, trying to save my data, bootloop. Got back in recovery and wiped data re flashed, bootloop. On an act of desparation I flashed the 12/08 nightly and, viola she lit up and booted to the setup screen.

Set it all back up and updated to the next nightly, 12/10 and I'll be danged, bootloop. Went back to recovery re-flashed the 12/08 nightly and all went well. No data loss just worked fine.

Bottom line I can't get anything but the 12/08 nightly to boot up. I even flashed stock with Odin, that bootlooped too! So I'm stumped.

It boots into the 12/08 nightly just fine and that's it.

I know this is wordy, but I wanted to make a thorough explanation. I feel this is related to the CWM error, but I have no idea where to go from here.

Anybody got a suggestion? All help is greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guncrasher:
I think cm10 installs jelly bean on your system. and switching back to an older version will cause the bootloop. that's what i believed happened to me when I installed cm10 by mistake instead of cm9 which is what i wanted. it took me several tries with odin and the stock rom to be able to go back.

I think the key is when you have cm10 installed then you need to enable the "usb debugging" in the developers section. that is probably what is stopping you from switching back to an earlier version or a new version or the stock rom using odin.

anyway that's how I was able to switch back to stock.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einril:
I think the reason you can´t restore CM10 is the fact that Android 4.2 introduces muti-users management. Thus, the system do not store in /sdcard/ any longer, but in /sdcard/0/ (for the first user). Since you still have a 4.1 recovery version, it doesn´t find the backups files any more. A solution is to move your sdcard data from /sdcard/0/ to /sdcard/ before restoring your backup.

As for CM10, the 12/09 and 12/10 nightlies don´t boot, due to kernel changes. These changes were reverted in 12/11, so this one should boot.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjim:
Bingo! That worked, 12/11 worked. I had no idea that was happening. I made all the file changes actually because I wound up with sdcard/0/0/0 from all the flashing back and forth, that was funny:p. All is normal now thanks!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisnewton:
Hi all

I have just bought my son a Nexus 7 for Christmas from Google play, it came on the 9th December. I have heard about the quality issues that can plague this little tablet, such as raised screen issues etc.

My question is, obviously when my son opens this up on Christmas day it will be past the 15 day returns policy that Google Play adopt, so should it be faulty where do we stand with getting a replacement? i would not want a refund just a brand new Nexus 7.

i know i know i should open it up and test it out now....but the wife simply refuses to let me (you dont have to live where her :laugh:)

Any help would be appreciated

Chris

If it is a manufacturer fault then they should either fix or replace it under warranty.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toidimaet:
Chris, there are at least several million n7s out there, most of which are fine. People tend to be far more vocal when something is not up to their expectations or has a fault. I have 2 tabs here, one I just bought for my son's crimbo. Both are in immaculate condition. Chances are your tablet will be good as well.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonic:
In the US, Google Play purchasers have the best post-return period warranty coverage. It is direct through Google. All other retail purchases requiring going through Asus, which is a pain in the Assus. One caveat - Google Play WILL premptively ship you a replacement unit free of charge and let you return your defective one back after you receive it. BUT, they do put a purchase price hold on your card until they get the old unit back. I personally prefer this method, but some people have complained about it. With Asus, you ship your unit back, wait 2-3+ weeks, and then they ship you a replacement or 'fixed' one back.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisnewton:
Thanks all for your replies, so your saying even though it will be after the 15 days, if it is faulty they will send me out a new one??
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonic:
I think you are confusing the return period (15 days) with the warranty period (1 year). Yes, after 15 days you can no longer return it for a refund, but you can still get it replaced for defects under the standard warranty. Twice that if you used a good credit card.

yes it needs to be in download mode and you need a tar file. It sounds like a bad SD card. Keep the file on your pc. Plenty of rooted and stock tar files around...

I'am running stock 2.3.4 with my Droid 2 and the multi touch is pretty bad with the phone. While running the multi touch test, each time I try to tap the screen with two fingers simultaneously it only registers one finger unless I drag my second finger. There seems to be a delay after the first touch.

Are there any mods or roms that can help improve the touch screen, or did my phone malfunction?

I started having this issue after using the phone for a prolonged period of time. I noticed that if I rebooted, my phone would return to normal and work as it should for a few hours until the touchscreen started going haywire again. I really think it's the phone slowly going out unfortunately.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayyang:
I am new to Android development and going to do some system level development, e.g. kernel driver, custom ROM and etc, and looking for a new device to replace my old 2.2 one.

Nexus 4 is good to me since it's cheap and runs Android 4.x. However it does not have an SD card. So in case of system crash or bad ROM, how can I recover it? Furthermore, is it good for normal Java dev?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
Dude I don't mean to be rude but if you don't know the answers to these basic questions then maybe development isn't for you. You recover in many ways, by flashing an image file in fastboot or use a custom recovery to restore a nandroid backup if you have one installed. You can store said backups on a pc if your worried about the phones storage being wiped.

*Ahem*

Please excuse the above poster. He meant to welcome you to our community and hope you encounter good fortune during your stay...

Most, if not all, Android phones have a low level recovery utility that is separate from the main storage. In the case of the Nexus 4, you will always be able to reboot by holding down power if the system hangs. In the case of an irreparable system error, you can access the aforementioned recovery utility by holding the Volume down button before and during boot up.

Please, don't let users like this deter you from development. Please use the stickied threads in N4 Development and General to familiarize yourself with Android's idiosyncrasies and xda etiquette.

To Kzoodroid: the guy is new to Android. If he's doing low level work such as kernels, he's clearly more knowledgeable about the development than you are. Knowing how to recover isn't indicative of programming expertise (you definitely don't need the former to have the latter). Recovery is unique to each platform. He's not a UX guy. He's not a skinner or themer. He is the nuts-and-bolts guy.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayyang:
Thank you guys - both :)

I'm ok with kzoodroid's message as this is not the worst one I have ever seen - just reminded me what happened to me 13+ years ago in a newsgroup.

It's good to know that I have more choices to recover my device since in the past months I just used SD card to do that on my old ZTE-V9 and thought that's the only way.

Btw: Is there an article or web resource to explain more Android kernel/system level stuff? As many information available are just for user space development with few system diagrams which are not quite useful to me. For example, (data?) partitions, blocks, governor, scheduler and etc. I can get some of them by googling - threads from this forum as well, but still want to get some comprehensive understanding. Or I can look at Embedded Linux to get detailed ideas? Sorry to ask this here since I cannot post anything in the general dev section yet.

Thanks.

Hi Folks,

Apologies if this thread started somewhere else (I obviously can't find it if so). The purpose of this thread is so we can track returned Nexus 10's as well as their replacement's being sent to you.

I'm wanting to make sure they're not just grabbing returned units and sending them right back out with a quick cleaning and re-furbish of the plastic lamenant.

Kindly list them as such with the serial # of the unit.
