Go to

C / flashtool / drivers

Install drivers for ur sola
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pukhrajsoni:
Thanks for your advice, but I've already tried that. I've uninstalled and again installed all drivers but problem persists
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doctor_droid:
Enable usb debugging

And try running flashtool on another pc

If it works there

Try reinstalling ur usb drivers ( of lappy / pc)

I just want to know is it possible to update the new firmware without root. not from the about tablet/ system update?

I want to know is it possible to copy the firmware in SD card and from recovery mode can we update?

[Sprint LG Optimus G] victor9000:
I rooted my phone and then uninstalled Play Movies, and apparently that's enough to brick this device. The only solutions I could find were for the international version over at this thread. Their method involves download a KDZ file, which I was unable to do. They listed another possible method involving a TOT file, which I am unable to find. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
I'm assuming you didnt unlock your OG and do a backup with TWRP to restore it?

I made a thread with all the links to the info you should need. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2050582

The irc is your solution
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Rocket_Science:
What he said ^ but basically, use lgnpst to recover then make sure you use freegee after you root before uninstalling system apps to avoid doing that again.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] victor9000:
ok, i'm not bricked anymore! a big thanks to the guys in the irc. here's how to deal with this problem, go down to FAQ #3, and start where it says "Alternatively, you can use LGNPST to restore a factory image". You will need LGNPST to write data to your device, and the proper TOT file for your device. It's not kosher to link to these in xda because of copyright reasons, go ask nicely in the irc, and you'll be set.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
I'm not sure, but I don't think those links are supposed to be posted. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] victor9000:
i asked around the irc, and it looks like you're right since lgnpst is copyrighted. i'm updating to remove the links. if anyone needs lgnpst, go ask nicely in the irc.

Hi,

I'm running the blk3 stock rooted De odexed rom found in the thread initiated by beans town.

Is there any material difference between that, and the stock factory image found in openyoureyes' thread?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pkd600:
The stock factory image from openyoureyes' thread is Odexed, while the one you are running is De-Odexed. The difference is that the Odex version is slightly faster, but most themes and customizations require De-Odexed builds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] banditsw:
Thank you for the reply. Is there a material difference as far as performance from the odexed and deodexed versions?

The reason I ask is I am somewhat happy with the setup I currently have. However if there is a big difference as far as performance I will go through and get the odexed version on my phone via Odin.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pkd600:
On older phones, the performance difference was definitely noticeable between Odex and De-Odex ROMS. The Galaxy S3 has so much power though, that the difference seems to be pretty negligible. Technically speaking, the Odex version is faster. Practically speaking, they're both so fast you can't tell the difference.

I've been running De-Odex now for months and haven't looked back. This phone is just plain fast.

Hello,

a simple question: what is addon.d in /system/addon.d

and is it important? that is found in some ROMs

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] rmkilc:
On some ROMs, like Cyanogenmod, there are scripts in /system/addon.d that run during a ROM update or flash. They can backup and restore system apps (like Gapps), or perform many other functions.
[General Questions and Answers] iPlasm:
Thanks rmkilc,

Sorry rmkilc, I too late for reply..

So this seems isn't important while making new ROMs...

Thanks anyway.. :)
[General Questions and Answers] rmkilc:
I think it's important, but that's my opinion.

I tried searching the forums but I couldn't find an answer. I'm on Jelly Bean, Rooted, Unlocked. I never have done the Google Wallet fix.

I am growing tired of waiting and jealous of my wife being able to do it on her Galaxy Nexus. Is there been an update on the Google Wallet fix while your on JB? I noticed the instructions still talk about ICS (exp. boot to recovery and flash SGS3-TW-US_variants-lib&nfc-fix.zip (for ics touchwiz roms)).

Or is that file still work with JB?

Hello, I cannot use CWM Recovery on my chinese galaxy note 2 even though it is the GT-N7100 series. Chinese firmware ZCALJ6. I have root already, I have rom manager 5.5 and CWM Recovery version 6.0.1.9. Whenever I want to boot into it, I get the standard android recovery instead. All I want to do is just fully backup my device. Please Help.

Many thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
You would probably be better asking in the N7100 forum rather than the VZW forum. If I had to guess though, I would think the issue is with /system/etc/install-recovery.sh being present, as well as /system/recovery-from-boot.p, which will cause recovery to be "re-flashed" every time the phone starts up.

Gmail has always, since 2009, done this to me.

No I'm not losing my wifi connection. My original post states that I am doing the exact same test with K9. K9 gets it instantly, gmail always lags behind.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illmatic416:
This happens more frequently on the N4 than any other Android device I've owned. Something is up with the Google Sync on it. On both wifi or HSPA(AT&T), my gmail is delayed, google voice too. Yesterday, I had a message sent to me on purpose to see how long it would take and waited 40 minutes for it arrive...I had to manually refresh Gmail for it to show up. I've gone through all the auto-sync and sync settings in gmail and in settings(data usage and google account). I'm running CM10.1 nightlies on it, so I wonder if it's on that end. To try this, send yourself an email, the first one might push...send another one in about 30 secs to 1 minute after you send the first...it won't show up immediately like the first one did...If the first one showed up immediately at all. Seriously unreliable push...gFail.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nology81:
I have the same issue with my N4. Is there a fix for this? I have to manually refresh gmail every time. My tablet gets the emails much faster.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btse:
Do you happen to be using a custom rom or stock?

I'm tempted to flash back stock to see if it's an issue with CM 10.1 nightlies.

A temporary fix, which I'm using, is to use a different email client. I'm using K9 and it gets the emails instantly. However, I'd rather use Gmail's app since the interface/interactions are much nicer.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J@CKY:
Not sure that's a CM 10.1 issue or not. Coz I am using vanilla jelly bean (4.2.1) and updated my gmail app to 4.2.1 as well, having the same issue.

I setup the same Gmail address on stock e-mail app using exchange server settings, email pushed and notified me almost instantly. So I suspect that's a glitch of the gmail app. :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nology81:
So I think I have found a preliminary fix for it. I have read other threads about sycing problems with Gmail, but can't comment on those. I sometimes keep Google Now on when on Wifi, but turn it off when out and about. I think this MIGHT be causing a lack of sync. When I checked to see if my gmail was synced it was not.

I have since kept Google Now off and see that I have no problems with getting my mails in as they come. It is faster than my tablet now.

Hope it helps.

I have tried, still no joy, i even tried to factory reset my Nexus 4, but still having freaking bad delay...

hooking onto the same WiFi, my iPhone and the One X+ both get the push email without delays. Even more worrying is that my One X+ is also using GMail 4.2.1. I starting to worry that is a hardware issue? (coz my frd's Nexus 4 do not have sync delay)

Hello,

I have tried searching these forums for an eligible solution however all my attempted search terms came back with threads that did not quite explain what i am experiencing. Or for that matter were understandable by me. So excuse me in advance if you believe this question has been answered somewhere else. Instead of expressing your rage please feel free to send me a message pointing me in the right direction.

I have tried multiple ways to obtain root access to my tablet. Sadly all of them failed.

What I understand from this is that somehow there is not enough memory on a partition in order to succeed.

Here's the conflict Does one need root access to say, enlarge or change a partition?

DooMLoRD's method seemed to get the furthest but ultimately failed.

GT-P1000

Firmware version 2.3.6

Baseband version P1000XXJPZ

Wiped cache

Factory Reset (twice)

Why not just flash a rooted custom rom, like overcome ROM for example.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teisu:
Thank you for the reply.

I wish to clear out bloatware and that's all. I do not prefer starting another research of which custom ROM to choose. I find all this phone and linux related stuff confusing enough as it is.

I am using Samsung's standard ROM and there must be a way to obtain root rights to that.

If you are using froyo, use z4root...and if you are using gingerbread, flash any rooted kernel

Just install cfroot kernel but the problem is stock rom 2.3.6 only left 19kb on fresh installation so rooting installation not 100% work..

Guys this is basically me taking this AT&T GS3 thread and converting it to T-Mobile. I flashed and followed the OP of the thread and had FCs. If you already did your own homework on this please don't feel like I am trying to be a know-it-all - just wanted to save some people a little time here using the GS3 T-Mobile.

You need to be rooted obviously

You can download the GNote II camera, gallery, and best group pose HERE but after flashing and installing the group pose, i still had issues. I am running Stock JB

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

Here is what I did:

1. Use a root browser and go into /system/app and rename SecGallery2.apk to SecGallery2.apk.bak and rename SecGallery2.odex to SecGallery2.odex.bak (so you can revert if you want)

2. Flash Camera and Gallery zip from CWM

3. Reboot

[Note] some people have had to flash twice before the GNote II camera installs.

4. Put BestGroupPose.apk in /system/app and change permissions to rw-r--r--

(These permissions ) View attachment 1578546

5. Reboot (at this point everything worked except Best Group Pose, it force closed on me.)

6. In /system/app, click on the BestGroupPose.apk and select install

7. Navigate to /sdcard/DCIM and delete the .thumnails folder, and clear Gallery / Camera data

8. Reboot

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

Done. I know these steps seems superfluous but this is what i did and I am not a developer so don't feel like attempting to shorten the steps. Everything now works for me including video Slow Motion and Best Group Pose

Everyone,

I have been running the latest CM10 nightlies for a couple days and love it on my EVO. However, I am having consistent issues with the navigation. I am S-OFF running the latest firmware. I have been flashing the latest CM10 nightly, although I have also tried deck's latest version as well. When flashing, I wipe everything in sight, trying both the superwipe zip and manual wiping, but everytime I install CM10 the Google navigation crashes on me and has weird screen artifacts. I have also tried using the GPS Status app to clear my GPS data to no avail. Does anyone have any other tricks to get nav to work on CM10?
