[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] baddgoat:
I've been rooting phones, flashing roms, and even flashing others phones to different carriers for, 5-6 years now I'd say. So, I know what I'm doing. I recently started using Goo Manager to download things occasionally, and to say the least I'm screwed. Downloaded the latest twrp recovery and it automatically booted into recovery and flashed the image. Endpoint...hard bricked.

Just be careful with goo is all I'm saying. I never confirmed it to flash the download and it didn't even ask. As soon as it was done dl'ing it just did it. I knew instantly it was going to be problematic. Because it wasn't actually the twrp img for my skyrocket. I was downloading it to use on another phone and transfer to my computer. So, now I'm without a phone. Sucks..

Anyone know of a way to get into download mode without having to use Jtag? lol prolllly not
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crashpsycho:
Sounds like a noob mistake and also it tells you in too manager when you select install custom recovery its not goo.managersfault its lack of reading
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
I am not sure why someone that has been doing this for years would put anything on the phones memory that doesn't go with the phone for any reason. It seems like half, if not more, of the bricks that happen are because of the wrong thing trying to be installed on the phone. Knowing that, it seems like a good idea to NEVER put anything on the phone that doesn't go with the phone, if you plan on using it or not. I guess this is just another precautionary tale for others now because if you really are hard bricked then Jtag is your option. Assuming you have already tried download mode, Odin, etc...Anyone doing this as long as you would have already known to try that stuff first...right? Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
I got into a similar problem with goo manager. Ended with hard brick. Will never use goo or rom manager. Odin and twrp or cmw are the way to go. And never, ever flash anything unless you know it's for your device. That was the problem with goo, it said it was but wasn't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MasterDecker:
I've got 5 devices successfully running Goomanager / TWRP, and none of them have had a single issue. I just make sure that what I am getting for each device is FOR each individual device.

I agree all my device run twrp or cwm and no issue like I mention just a noob error
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
You know you can force a reboot of the phone during the download by holding the power key or pulling the battery, right? If you knew what the file was, why didn't you do that?

I've downloaded ROM files hundreds of times through GooManager and gapps files at least a few dozen on three different phones across two platforms (Rocket and Note II). I've also flashed recoveries through it more times than I can remember. It's never once caused a problem, downloaded the wrong file, or even soft-bricked me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
I thought you couldn't brick a phone by a botched recovery flash. Because it's only writing to the recovery partition and not the system. Just what I once read anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
I didn't know it was the wrong file until after it installed. It was supposed to be a gapps package that went with the Rom. I't didn't look right and I should have known better but I went with goo.

Just reinforces you should always know that what ever you flash make sure it's for your specific device.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] baddgoat:
I'm no noob. I was downloading the fIle. Not flashing it. It flashed on it's own INSTANTLY after it finished downloading. Without asking. It never did that the dozens of times I downloaded stuff before. So, there.

Hey guys, I'm new here and im looking for help. YES, I have already tried a million different things, YES my SDK is properly installed, YES my bootloader is unlocked from HTC dev, and NO, no method for rooting my shiny new HTC One X has worked so far. Ive spent countless hours on this forum, and have done everything possible, but to no avail, so its time for me to turn to you guys and ask for help.

My HTC's firmware is 1.94 which seems to be very uncommon, as most people have the 1.80 or 2.20 version.

I am running stock Rogers firmware with Android 4.0.3.

I have come close, I have even successfully done the whole daemon DOS process, but it had many errors, and even though the result said that the phone was successfully rooted, it did not install SU. However THERE IS A BROWN BAR that appears on the upper left side of the screen during the HTC boot sequence, and it only appeared after the daemon process.

Please, if someone could lead me in the right direction, id be very grateful. What should I do?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] area51avenger:
You don't need any fancy root processes. If you want to stay stock but rooted. Install twrp. And flash a stock rooted Rom. Or flash the superuser zip in twrp.

Hello,

I bought a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5100, and from some reason, the carrier I bought it from, installed their own ROM and removed the Phone function from the tablet and I can't dial, only use the internet for browsing, so I was wondering, is there a way to bring the phone function back?

Thanks !

Are you sure it has the phone and isn't the wifi only model?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] verynoob:
I don't think it's only the wifi model because I have a SIM card in it already and I'm using the network mobile. But maybe there is a model with SIM but without Phone?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] (D)EVIL:
because of some tax issues, some carriers remove the phone option, when the device has cellular phone calls options, it a "phone" and not a "media device" or "computer tab" and the amount of the tax that the carrier (and you) need to pay goes higher, so they remove it to keep the price fair and not to start **** with the government office that in-charge on the mobile phones.

you always have the option to install stock rom with the phone option, it WILL damage your warranty and its on your own risk.

good luck!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] verynoob:
Thanks for making it clear! I know I'm a bit late :laugh: but I forgot about it.

In order to install stock rom you have to root it first right? is there a guide to do the whole process? (rooting + installing stock rom on galaxy tab 2 10.1?)

or, you could activate google voice, get issued a free phone number

or, you could activate google voice, get issued a free phone number, thats what I did on my wifi only model, it would use your data plan instead, and works great, that way you could give your google number to all the gumbahs and your real number to the real folks in your world. Their are a number of apps that you can use and they work seemlessly with your native app and I had great conversations on voip with no noticeable lag.

Their are a number of 3rd party apps that intergrate with google voice, sign up for the service first, I made a deposit on it years ago and make and take calls on it, no problem, with no charges. If they leave v/m the service transcribes the voice mail and sends it to me via email, which is very nice option, along with spam/call block type features it beats the hell out of what the LEC's offer.

Google gives me a phone number and I will be able to call other phones? or it is more like Skype or Viber - that I can call to people with Skype or Viber only? will the people I call to need to pay something?

I guess I will need to root and install stock rom, is there a guide for doing it on Galaxy Tab 2 10.1?

Hi! I have a Nokia Lumia 800 and I want to unlock it but I still have some questions, I think they are stupid but I am not able to find them on the Interner. I have already checked and I have a Qualcomm bootloader, so I should be able to full unlock my phone, and I was thinking on installing Raimbow Mod or something like that, but I have read that if you flash your Lumia 800 using NSS your Windows Live ID will get flashed too and you won´t be able to use it. Is that true? How can I prevent or fix that problem? Thank you very much!

Hi,

About Windows live ID, I'm NOT sure. But one thing I am sure is that

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LoneMarauder:
I have what probably is a strange request, but here goes:

I'm getting the kid a Galaxy S2 for Christmas - it costs just as much to add her to my plan as it does to buy the prepaid minutes for her :)

I need to know if there's an app out there that can "lock" the ability to use tethering and mobile hotspot. Yeah, I know she can just download a different tethering app from Google Play and use that, but I want to make it a little more difficult for her :) Ideally it would have a "schedule" where it can be locked out during certain times, or at the very least a "passcode" that can be entered to allow the access.

I'm not concerned with data usage, but at home I have the Wifi turn off at midnight so she'll actually go to bed, and I know if she can tether or use the hotspot she'll just do that and stay up and watch anime all night :laugh:

So, is there something out there that can do this? My searches have been rather fruitless so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wushdishmeen:
[Q] Connecting to PC via USB After JB Update gives "Connected As An Installer"

I did the OTA Jellybean update the day it came out and all was well. But now I have an issue when I connect the phone to my computer via USB.

When I first plug it in it says "Connected as an installer" and creates a CD Drive on my computer with the volume name being "Verizon Mobile". An autoplay prompt dialogue appears showing that I can run some executable called ToolLauncher-Bootstrap.exe.

Inside the folder is the Samsung USB Driver installer and some other weird files. In USB mode settings neither mode is checked and if I try to select MTP manually it switches right back to installer. Then after about 10-15 seconds the phone switches over to MTP mode like usual.

So it only works if I let it connect as an installer and wait the 10 seconds for it to switch on it's own. So it still works but is incredibly annoying. Does anyone have any clue what this is? I'm pretty saavy but this has me stumped.

Pictures below:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sthpaw01:
I had this question myself. I wondered why that installer comes up before the media device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wushdishmeen:
Maybe the Mayan Calendar ending has something to do with it....:rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] VittoCornelius:
I get the same thing, did you run the installer? Maybe its a file manager utility that samsung added to their JB release for better file transfer between phone and pc. Wonder if it will auto MTP once you let the installer finish. It might be a one time deal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wushdishmeen:
You should read the original thread. I mentioned that it only connects as installer for about 10 seconds and then switches over to MTP. So it works still it just is incredibly annoying and inconvenient to have to keep waiting every time. Especially since it didn't do this before the JB update.

I've tried running one of the programs and some weird thing pops up from Verizon to install something. But it cuts over to MTP mode before you ever get a chance to do anything.

It's very strange and I think this might have to do with using EZ-Unlock and messing with the bootloader on 4.1.1. I mean I find it odd that it's connecting as an installer for the bootstrap and that's basically what the bootloader is. I bet we'll hear that EZ Unlock needs to be fixed soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KainamHD:
Doesn't have anything to do with EZ-Unlock or being rooted.

My 535 did the same thing stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zaccat4:
The same thing happened to me just click the notification then check the mount as media device option and that should get you back to normal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wushdishmeen:
Again I mentioned this already as well in the OP. I really ask that you guys read the entire post. When I go to USB settings and set it manually it switches over to MTP but then quickly goes back to installer. Then it will start the process over again and automatically switch to MTP 10 seconds later on it's own.

Basically I have to let it connect as installer and let it switch to MTP on it's own otherwise it won't stay on MTP mode. Surely someone must have a clue why this is happening? I never had this issue on stock nor rooted ICS regardless of what others have said. It was only when I upgraded to JB. It happened BEFORE I applied EZ Unlock or root now that I think about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Averix:
Here's the fix. Not sure what all the side effects are, but it definitely kills that stupid installer mode auto mount thing.

(Part of this is from user triggerm8)

1) You'll probably have to unlock the hidden menus by entering *#22745927 in the dialer.

2) Go into the USB I2C Mode Control menu by entering *#7284#.

3) Select Qualcomm USB Options

4) Choose MTP + ADB and save.

Next time you plug in your phone, it will go right to MTP mode bypassing that irritating Verizon install disc mount!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KainamHD:
Thanks! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wushdishmeen:
Thanks this worked perfectly. So glad someone figured it out because it was driving me nuts. :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Thanks. I've tried this solution before, but it sort of meets my needs: I select

PTP + ADB

and it connects (directly, bypassing the Installer mode) as MTP.

So, I still need to manually change the connection mode. FYI.
