[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slender Troll:
So I am using this method to root/unlock my N7: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1741395 but as this is my first time rooting/unlocking I am kind of lost. I have gotten to the part where it says "In terminal, cd to the directory you have your sdk in" but I don't know how to do the next part, "Then cd into platform-tools."

Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebel1699:
The sdk is the android sdk. If you dont need all that, just find a download for adb and fastboot for your operating system (windows, linux, etc). Then, whatever folder you put them in, click on the empty space in that folder so no contents is highlighted, press and hold shift on your keyboard and right click. Choose open command here from the drop down menu. Command prompt will appear, and you can continue with the input from the instructions.

If you are on windows, let me know and i can upload the files you need. It is much better than downloading the sdk if you dont plan on doing dev work later.

To be honest, there are much easier ways to root and unlock. But hey, learning adb and fastboot is never a bad thing. It can help you so much in the future.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slender Troll:
I am on windows... maybe now isn't the time to learn adb and fastboot because I won't have access to this computer in a few days.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebel1699:
Then that might be a good idea. There are kits out there that you can download and help you right through it. Just check the stickies in general and dev section and you'll be fixed right up. Best of luck, and I hope you get it all done!

I never got my Xoom updated for 4g. It seems there is no development for MZ600. Two questions:

1. What roms work for my Xoom?

2. Is there a method for me to upgrade to 4g?

Thanks.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdexsw:
Basically you have options :)

I converted my xoom to mz604 (wifi only) to get all updates pushed from google, latest 4.1.2.

Or you can unlock bootloader, fladh custom recovery and flash any of the wingray and stingray (make sure stingray supports 3g).

I never activated my 3g, nor did i upgrade it. My current setup is in my sig at the bottom.

Everything is in this forum that you need to know....good luck.

Hi!

Having my nexus since a couple of weeks. After experiencing weird touchscreen issues - when the nexus is being used it sometimes starts to register loads of touchs and swipes for a duration of 5-10 secs, not being caused by me - i've tried installing Cyanogenmod 10.1 (nightly), but the problem is still existent. Before i had stock 4.2.1

Any idea or will i have to send it to google?

Hey guys

i just got a usb otg cable but i can't get the kindle to tead my flash drive.

any help pls?

:)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guitarman:
Many OTG peripherals require the use of a powered USB hub as the Kindle needs power assistance in the USB department. The app "Stick Mount" has rendered success with accessing some flash drives. Unfortunately not ALL flash drives are compatible.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vess_csm:
:( i tried that app and nothing happens. it has a diagnostic tool also and it recognizes the flash drive.. but with no success.

if i need external power for a hub, then this entire thing is pointless.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guitarman:
If that app picks it up than a powered USB hub will probably make it work. For example....I tried using an optical USB mouse that was plugged straight into the OTG cable plugged straight into the Kindle. The mouse actually lite up BUT nothing happened besides that. When I obtained a powered hub it worked great using the same OTG cable with hub. What ROM are you using just out of curiousity?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vess_csm:
I am using the 4.2.1_r1 AOSP ROM.

the thing is that I don't want to be dependant on elecricity. there isn't a plug every where. thank you for the time spent on my question :)

The sandisk cruzer sdcz36-004g

Only 4gb but I'd prefer to carry around a few on a ring than a powered hub, or that arrangement with the Y cable and the phone charger.

Plug it directly into the otg cable and off you go, I've played 720p video from the flashdrive with several ROMs recently, paranoid android worked great, TWA_priv's 4.2 also works but with some mounting wackiness sometimes.

USB mass storage watcher seems better than stickmount right now IMO.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vlasp:
Would the 8gb cruzer switch work? I am planning on buying an OTG Cable and need to specify.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lotek:
Sure it will work, but you'll need a wired hub of some sort to mount it, either connected to an outlet or using a Y cable and a battery powered phone charger, which is hassle to carry, finicky to mount and not really OTG. I've never found a drive over 4 gb which was usable just by sticking it into the end of the otg cable, and most drives 4 gb or under don't work either.

The cruzer 4gb is my one and only recommendation I'm afraid.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunook:
I know this thread is a little old but just wanted to list the mini attache 16gig flash works with no powered hub.

Downside is that it only works till about 70% of battery. After that its not enough voltage
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skywalkerboy:
Plug it into the kindle, then plug in the flash drive.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lotek:
Can you detail which app you used to mount it? I've tried quite a few of them but stick with USB otg helper and USB mass storage watcher.

Galaxy S GTi9000

Hi All, i have installed this ROM and what a great offering it is too. Really like it.

The install was done by copying it to the SD card and the usual wipe data reset, dalvik cache routine.

No problem with the actual install however the install does not connect network connection (Tesco). I can get gmail delivery's but no phone connection, very odd.

Is there something else i should be doing to get the Tesco network connection.

Just to check i re-installed the original MIUI ROM and the Tesco network popped up as it should. My only conclusion is that there might be a bug or maybe a setting i have to use to search for a network.

Any clues or help would be welcome.

Have a great Christmas to ALL.:confused:

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alamgirqazi:
Ok guyz, it's a silly question but still i wanna clarify myself. Here's how i flash a new rom

1) reboot to recovery

2) format/factory reset

3) wipe cache partition

4) install from sd card ( rom )

5) reboot

6) install from sd card ( gapps)

No problem in this at all. Ext partition remains as i don't need to create partition everytime ( very happy about this though ).

But in few threads i've read about 'wipe dalvik cache' and more before flashing. What effect would that have though ?

Can anyone please clarify this for me.

YNWA
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
If you wipe data and cache, there's no need to wipe dalvik cache as well, since it's stored on those partitions, so it gets wiped alongside them.

Also of you do a factory reset inside the recovery there's no need to wipe cache again, since the factory reset wipes it as well.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dannyvld:
Simplest way:

Move ROM to sd

Recovery mode

Factory reset

Flash the zip file (ROM)

Reboot

Hi!

Since xda-univeristy arised i thought it would be nice to learn something about green droid ;)

I am going to learn about tweaking and theming:and here comes dozens of my questions:

1. I have downloaded Official ics repack by N00BY0815

2. I extracted it and i have:

2 folders ( META-INF and System)

2 files boot.ing and system.img

How can i extract this system.img ?

I tried to use 7zip but it says that" it cannot open it as archive"

Thanks in advance and please for leniency
[XDA-University] broodplank1337:
it can be opened with Diskinternals Linux Reader. if not. use "sgs2toext4.jar" to convert it to .img.ext4 and then open it
[XDA-University] monstaX:
Everything for theming is in the System folder. All the APK's(Applications) Boot.img is probably the recovery image it installs. But to theme you would need to decompile the apks in the system folder
[XDA-University] Nihiliu:
Everythink was in system folder in gingerbread, in this system folder i have only app folder with su.apk and bin folder with su file.

So files i need are in system.img

@broodplank1337 thanks for help, program works well, now i can begin ;)

But first only one question, now i can extract files, but can i pack them using same tool ?
[XDA-University] Prawesome:
I don't know much about S2 but can't you just use 7zip to make it an archive and flash it through rrecovery?

"Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding." -Mahatma Gandhi
[XDA-University] SXUsr:
Hi. You can use dsixda's Android Kitchen for that.
[XDA-University] broodplank1337:
You can pack them with the android kitchen, install the zip, then you do this in terminal emulator to make the system.img file:

su
cat proc/mounts

now look up the system partition, in my case it's mmcblk0p14

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/sdcard/system.img BS=4096

This will dump the system partition to system.img (for example when making an odin image)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dannyvld:
You are on the right adress.

If you follow these steps you can root your phone in 5-10 minutes.

1. Turn on your phone, connect it to your pc and install the drivers of your phone (so your phone can connect to your pc)

2. Turn of your phone and remove the usb cable

3. Hold the volume down button, power button and home button for like 10 seconds so your phone go to download mode, press volume up so your phone go further

4. Put the usb cable in your phone and connect it to your pc.

5. Open Odin (download link after tutorial)

If your phone is connected correctly you get a yellow bar with COM: (then a random number)

6. Press ''PDA'' and select the .TAR file (download link after tutorial)

Be sure its a .TAR file, otherwise your phone will brick

7. Press ''START'' your phone will root now, after the root it will reboot automaticly, check if you have this apps: CWM and SuperSU.

Download link Odin:

http://db.tt/fqvwktih (unzip it and copy ALL the files to one folder)

Download link root file:

http://db.tt/kbEY1fEZ (this is the .TAR file)

If you need further help just DM me.
