[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Link.:
As a preventative measure (and for peace of mind), you can install Lookout, then hide it from the app drawer and disable the icon in the notifications. Sure, someone smart would probably look for that app and disable it or wipe it, but it could give you enough time to find your phone.

I turn off the AV and contact backup features of the app and use it only as tracking in case of a lost phone. Or I make it scream if I somehow lose the huge device. :P

I know this isn't exactly what you were asking for, but I figured it'd be a good tip to throw in. Cheers.

No offense but Cerberus is 3 times the app lookout is. Look into it. The amount of things that you can do from a remote computer is amazing. Take pics (front and rear camera) ...GPS...send a message to phone. Lock phone. Wipe phone. Set alarm...plus many more.

Cerberus is top notch. I paid for it too.

What about where my Droid? Any thoughts
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
Just looked into it...first three reviews were bad. Saying it didn't find their phones or activate like it should. One guy seemed like he was using a rooted phone cause of the phrase "no matter what ROM I used it on". Plus to get the good features u gotta pay. Might as well get Cerberus. ... I seem like I'm advertising for em but because of that app I recovered a lost thunderbolt. Another cool feature is the lockscreen auto picture. You set the app to take a picture if someone enters a pass code or lock patter wrong 1-3 times. It takes the pic silently and sends to email. If anyone is ever messing with your phone you'll know.

Firstly - this is a QUESTION. So it should be in the Q&A forum.

Secondly - I'd you'd followed that simple rule you might have seen the sticky for 'Device Suggestion Thread' where this belongs.

Please learn to search before posting, it's the first rule of XDA. The sooner Mods simply start deleting posts that don't follow the rules, the better this place well become again.

or maybe the mods just need to delete accounts like yours??.. this is the second reply I've read of yours through casual browsing where you've jumped all over the OP of the thread. It's clear that the OP is a new member (as was the case earlier) - so although there are rules and guidelines, replies like yours does't really help the situation or give an impression of a warm, welcoming forum does it?

Instead of being sarcastic and trying to be Billy big balls on the forum - you could have just answered the question in a better tone with the addition of something like - 'in future use the search function' or a link to the original post where the rules are stated (as a friendly reminder).. it would have taken the same amount of effort as the crap you posted above... you might even make a mod one day - which is clearly what you're aiming for. Or maybe you're just happy being the unofficial forum police?.. either way - no one is forcing you to reply and if it bothers you that much or you cant help - then don't bother.. just sayin as it's clearly not worth getting your panties in a twist ;):)

[Motorola Droid X2] GaQuail:
I rooted my GB 2.3.5 X2 then backed up my apps and data using Titanium Backup. Downloaded Eclipse 2.3 and BSR. Everything seemed smooth flashing Eclipse and I'm happy with the new ROM. After flashing I restored my data and apps with Titanium. It appears I have all my data, contacts, email, sms, etc. except my calendar events are not in the new calendar that comes with Eclipse. Calender Storage 2.3.5 was backed up along with the other calender apps but restoring them seems to have no effect. Any ideas how I can get my events back on the calendar? Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
i don't use calendar much, but the events i add get saved to my google calendar

have you added a google account, and synced checked calendar?
[Motorola Droid X2] GaQuail:
Yes I do have a goggle account and thought I was synced with it. I checked the calendar with a pc and no events there either. I'm wondering whether the stock calendar that comes with the X2 from Verizon actually sync's with Verizon Media Manager by default?
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
did you make a nandroid backup in system recovery, before flashing rom?
[Motorola Droid X2] GaQuail:
No I used Titanium Backup but before I used the Titanium app I took out a lot of Verizon apps with the app "No Bloat" using the delete and backup tool. All of the those verizon apps appear to have been lost with the the flash to Eclipse.

Has anyone made a controller map for the PS3 controller? I haven't had time to yet. I've only launched the game, for less than 3 minutes, with Sixaxis app running to see how well the controller worked stock. Noticed you can't look around with the right joystick, and still have to touch the screen to look around. I can't deal with that. If any one has a Sixaxis controller map they've made for the game, I'd appreciate (and others would too in sure) if you wouldn't mind posting it and sharing it with us. Thanks

Edit:828am just uploaded a corrected one. This is using controller scheme 1 in the game which is default.

Go to game settings and customize HUD. Expand the left joystck size. This way left joystick movements don't go over the boundry and effect the looking around control by the right joystick.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gadgetguy2005:
Hello all,

due to some temporary crazyness I flashed a non-compatible ROM on my S2.

No worries I thought, just get the Samsung firmware, flash with Odin - get back to factory original, reinstall my previous CWM image and all is good.

So: I downloaded the file "I9100MUGLD3_I9100MBMCLD3_BMC" from the SamMobile website ( this is the Bell version), flashed with Odin.

All went fine. But when restarting the phone, it says on the Galaxy 9100 screen - for hours and hours, and never starts.

Flashed again (same file) - same result.

So my phone is not totally dead, as I am able to flash it - but something does not work.

Should I have used a different firmware from SamMobile - maybe this one: I9100MUGLD3_I9100MBMCLD3_VMC?

Please help as I am somewhat stuck here...

Thank you all.

The firmware you've selected seems to be perfectly all right. If you can still boot into recovery and download mode, you can try flashing a different Stockrom (non canadian/virgin) just for checking your phone situation, but make sure its compatible with your i9100.

If that does not work, most probably you've messed up your Bootloader :cool:

Getting out of APX Mode

If worse comes to worse and you are definitely stuck in APX Mode then download the archived file nvFlash.zip which will only flash the v2 unlocked bootloader - to flash a recovery image you'll need to download one and copy it to the nvflash folder.

1) extract "nvFlash" to C:\nvflash

2) pwr your tab OFF and ensure the Pwr LED lite is off

3) Manually put your tab in APX Mode

4) Connect your micro usb cable to your PC

5) Ensure your PC lists an "apx device"

6) Open a command prompt on C:\nvflash

7) Follow the steps below from vache:

Archived Files:

These files are the ones civato packaged for the "v8 unlocked bootlader.zip"

Original nvFlash zip files from "vache" and

"strra's" original batch file with the v2 bootloader from "skrilax_cz" & cwm 1.7.2 -

and the original nvFlash guide from jm77 from this thread

How to use fastboot

Fastboot works the same as adb by issuing commands from your PC

1. Put your tab in Fastboot Mode - Hold down the Volume UP button and press power button until your tab vibrates

2. Choose fastboot mode from the menu

3. Hook your tab to your PC

4. On your PC navigate to the folder where fastboot.exe/adb.exe are located

5. Open a command prompt on this folder

Run the following commands

fastboot devices

it should return a ?

To perform a Hard Reset or FULL WIPE your device

then type in:

fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

To flash a "recovery.img"

You'll need an actual recovery.img for this one, I've attached a couple to this post

These can be found in the unlocked bootloader packages

Copy "name_of_your_new_recovery.img" to your fastboot/adb folder

Hook up your PC and on your tab enter fastboot mode

Issue these commands"

fastboot devices

it should return a ?

fastboot flash recovery name_of_your_new_recovery.img

should say Done

fastboot reboot

quickly hold in the volume down button while it reboots - if you time it right it should boot to recovery...otherwise just power it down then try again

good:good::good:

theres a couple of different errors you can get at "stage 2" uploading image, ebt, bct or partitioning - did u see which one?

you could have tried putting yr tab in apx mode manually and to check an "apx device" is listed...if its not its a driver issue

I assume you were running stock OTA ICS??

thats weird - didnt think afterOTA came with 1.7.3 - i may be wrong tho'

eewwww thats ugly!!!

Do you still have the unlocked bootloader???

You may need to boot into fastboot mode (pwr-vol+) and

fastboot erase /cache
fastboot erase /userdata
fastboot reboot

Not sure I can help with tegra-owners JB rom - I know it doesnt require the unlocked BL - but there've been a few folks on here that have had issues with it (myself included) not sure why and didn't spend alot of time trying to figure it out - I just reflashed the CM10 JB rom of civato's

The main thing is to get everything fastboot erased first and see how that goes...its looking like a partitioning error at this point....

and be helpful to know what rom etc you had on there in the first place!

Here is what I wrote a while ago on the TO site:

I am trying to use you APX Flash tool to patch the Bootloader. (using Civato's guide on the Xda forum)

It hung at "Flashing Bootloader (EBT) stage two - uploading image..." and the other black command prompt window shows : Nvflash started [resume mode]

I, then, re-booted the A500, re-installed the Acer USB driver (used Acer link from A500 Manager)

Same as above.

Now I tried use the manual flash following Civato's guide, I got:

Nvflash started

[resume mode]

Formatting partition 4 please wait.. Command execution failed cmd 13, error 0x120002 Failed!

Command failure: format partition failed <bad command>

bootloader status: unknown operation <code: 1> message: flags: 0

Nvflash started

[resume mode]

I was using apxFlash tool, could not get it into the apex mode when I tried to run a501 B. Should I try to run it with the manual method now?

?

Yes, rooted, was trying to get unlocked boot loader, thought I need that to flash custom ROM

theres a couple of different errors you can get at "stage 2" uploading image, ebt, bct or partitioning - did u see which one

'

I probably got it after I ran the a501 A.

Yes, I was wondering what is that fast boot mode does

Any step guide on how to do this (used the adb thing before to get the SDK, I think, but forgot how now)

I had ICS OTA before, started messing with the tab few months ago, on and off, sorry I could not remember exactly how I got here.

I am not newbie totally, just know enough to be dangerous

Dibb, thank very much for your help
[Acer Iconia A500] sany:
What I have done so far:

Step 1: Did this and my computer can detect my Acer

Step 2: I installed AfterOTA from the link provided and extracted CPUID and SBK (my question: will I be using this anywhere in my flashing process as I dont see it, if so why did I take this?)

Step 3: Since I was nervous to delete that boot.p file right away I moved that into my SD card as backup and used blackthund3rs ICSRoot to root the tablet and succeeded.

- I haven't downloaded the ROM yet as I was looking for the best in the forum, so left this step for last

- I used afterOTA to "install the unlocked bootloader" which will also "flash a Custom Recovery" as advised by you in the email (Bootloader ICS v3.14.8 + Recover Thor v1.7.3)

My big question now is on flashing the custom ROM - am I going straight away from here to recovery mode and do the below as in your thread?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you boot to CWM Recovery, you have a menu item "Wipes"

In Wipes;

1. Data/Factory Reset (don't worry, it skips your photos and such)

2. Cache

3. Dalvik Cache

Wait, you're not finished.

Go back to the previous menu, and select "Mounts and Storage".

1. Format System

2. Format Flexrom

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

thanks and cheers

How to use fastboot

@appple

1. K go up to Step 1 and d/l the android sdk drivers - (its not the whole sdk just the adb and fastboot drivers) and extract them to your C:\ drive...

2. With your tab powered off - hold the vol+ button down and press down pwr

2a. If you have the v8 bootloader your tab should display the fastboot menu

2b. Enter Fastboot Mode

3. Connect your tab to your pc with the micro usb cable

4. Open a command prompt from the folder that contains "fastboot.exe"

5. Type fastboot devices

6. It should return a "?" this is fine!

Now just enter the commands I posted earlier

7. fastboot erase userdate

8. fastboot erase cache

After you enter each command - the prompt should say 'Done'

9. fastboot reboot
