Just download a stock-ish version of ics for your model on your computer, transfer it to your external SD card via card reader on your PC. Put the SD card back in your phone.

Wipe everything, except external SD of course.

Flash the stock-ish rom like you would any other. And you'll have to set your phone back up again, but it will be usable again.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PierreZabell:
Hello.

I recently bought an Nexus 7, and when i started using it, it notified me about an update to android 4.2.

When i then try updating it restarts and starts installing stuff, then suddenly it fails. Displaying the green android with a warning sign. And after some minutes it reboots and still showing i only have android 4.1?

What can i do about this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Thinking about switching to a Lumia 920, however Gmail support is very important to me. It really is too much hassle to change to outlook - I've looked into it and it won;t happen.

Question: will WP8 allow developers to come up with alternative mail clients for Gmail, like Sparrow for iOS? If so, is anyone developing such an app?
[Nokia Lumia 920] buffalosolja42:
What would you get from a GMAIL app that you wouldn't get from setting it up in the email settings?
[Nokia Lumia 920] Dave-Kay:
a really nice and intuitive userinterfae for example?

I'm using the email-app for it, but i have to say i really miss a Gmail-App.

anyway, google is messing with Windows Phone users, i'm thinking about switching to outlook.com because of goggle being evil

Here's someone who wrote down a howto

http://vowe.net/archives/013599.html
[Nokia Lumia 920] buffalosolja42:
Intuitive.......ok I can see all my folders and emails..... Are we talking about gtalk being in the app or something. As far as email goes it works fine for my 2 Gmail accounts.
[Nokia Lumia 920] wouwout:
OK let me clarify. I am talking about the changes Gmail is going to make with activesync. I would like to use an app on WP8 that handles Gmail in a way as Gmail is intended to be used including multiple labels. An example of such an app, however this one is on iOS, is Sparrow. Does anyone know of a similar app that's being developed for WP8?

PS: thanks for the tutorial for moving to outlook.com, it seems easier than I thought.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Dave-Kay:
hey, no offense, but i think you're missing the point. Everyone is a individual and has some wishes how to handle things. if someone aks for something he would like to have, it's his own decision how to have it. so it's rather useless to tell him not to have it the way he would like to have it because the way YOU have it works.

and! in case of googlemail. google ****ed up active sync on purpose, so if you buy a new windows phone you have to use imap or pop. i think giving google a kick in the a.. by moving on is a good idea. they have become too strong. atm i'm testing if outlook.com is able to replace googlemail and while outlook.com is working prettyx nice on Android, maybe i will move on. there's nothing missing on Lumia except the Lable "google" everything they made is replaceable.

---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------

sorry, but atm i don't know an app like this and google btw. clarified that there's no need for them to build googleapps for Windws phone
[Nokia Lumia 920] buffalosolja42:
ok

I understand user individuality and I understand your point of view. His statement after mine would have made a better response. I am well aware of the google activesync fiasco, and Outlook.com is great my kids use it. Now I thought that they wouldn't support if for people were free customers....That is sad indeed and I will then be forced to either jump ship or get email every 5mins-2hrs either way I will have to deal with it. Regardless I hope you find what you are looking for and I can vouch for the outlook.com or gmail (with activesync).

Model: GT-I9000T

Firmware Version: 2.1-update1

Baseband Version: I9000TUBJG7

Kernel Version: 2.6.29

latin.umts@samsung #2

Build Number: ECLAIR.UBJG5

S: the question is simple:

Can firmware for GT-I9000 also work for the GT-I9000T?

I've been looking everywhere for firmware for my model but with no luck at all; I would like to root and update to jelly bean I live in the Caribbean( Trinidad and Tobago) and my carrier is Bmobile. Doing a general and vague google search of the GT-I9000T doesn't even pull up much useful information. All I got from wikipedia is that it is the GT-I9000T is "identical" to the GT-I9000 in terms of form factory. Apparently one supports 850MHz 3G while the other supports 900MHz 3G.

I would have been okay with using Gingerbread by updating my phone on Kies but that horrible abomination won't even recognize my phone. I've tried trouble shooting on 3 different computers with no luck. Would I brick my phone if I used rooting and updating methods intended for GT-I9000

Hello all,

First off so i've been Googling/Searching/Trying/Smash Head against the wall for the past 24 hours.

I've got a One X... It's a UK handset I bought direct from Handtec with no Network Image or Locking.

- Unlocked via HTCDEV with a key.

- HBOOT is 1.12

- RADIO 2.1204.135.20

- CID: HTC__001

- (null):platform-tools mac$ ./fastboot-mac getvar version-main

version-main: 2.17.401.2

- I'm running recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img in my Recovery Partition.

I've tried to flash the device with ICJ 3.5.1 (aokp_endeavoru-ICJ-V3.5.1) initially, followed all the instructions, flashed the boot.img, do a wipe, install the ROM from ZIP, flush the cache partition and restart. Not having it, it gets stuck at the ROM's flash screen "Initiating Swagger".

The story is the same for Viper 2.6.0 and finally I tried to flash the stock ROM back http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1546970 and that's not working either (stuck at the HTC ONE beats audio screen).

I tried to flash back the stock recovery.img but when I launch into it I just get a picture of a handset with a red warning triangle.

So i'm pretty much out of options!

Suggestions anyone? I'm obviously missing something silly....

Regards

Matt

Do those ROMs require an updated hboot? I.e., are they JB Sense and require hboot 1.39?

The upgrade for your CID is hboot 1.39.

Hi,

is there any way to backup appdata on a HTC Desire HD with the latest official ROM with Sense 3 before rooting and flashing a new ROM?

The AATK needs to downgrade for root. So I need a method without root or a (temp)root method that doesn't requirere a full wipe.

The Threads I found about this topic a so old, that i hope there are some new methods.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
What you can do is to unlock the bootloader, flash CWM, do a nandroid, then relock and run the Hack Kit. I guess that that is your best choice and safest to have a working backup. :fingers-crossed:

You can use titanium backup, but you need root to do that....apps data needs root access. I have never extracted a nandroid but it might be possible...not sure thou.

i have htc one x not rooted and unbrannded. after the jelly bean update i can't get to the recovery menu to do wipe cache partition.

i can get to the recovery screen (red triangle) , but when i press the volume up + power i get power up loop.

is there any way to do wipe cache patition ?
[HTC One X] markb63:
why would you want to wipe the cache ?..

volume up should take you to recovery,you could also unlock the phone and install cmr and the cmr su this will give you custom recovery and rooted phone.there are a couple of tools available for this if you dont like adb...
[HTC One X] BenPope:
I'm not sure how you got your JB update, but if it was OTA, you have stock recovery, right? So you'll need to install CWM. You can try a:

fastboot erase cache

from fastboot mode.

i got the update from ota. i need to wipe because since the update i have a problem with the calendar app. every time I try to add people in setting a new meeting the app crashes.I assumed that it is related to cleanliness of the remains memory pre-update.and the volume up doesn't work and the phone goes into boot loop.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
So have you installed CWM or done fastboot erase cache?
[HTC One X] allend:
i did not root my phone so i didn't installed CWM . how do i do fastboot erase cache ?
[HTC One X] markb63:
try uninstalling the calender app and re-installing,if that fails go to apps-find the calender app and reset all data and everthing else there you can see.
[HTC One X] allend:
i can't uninsalling the app because this is the stock app and did the reset and clear data in the app at apps, but it didn't do help.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ars0nist:
hi.

forum search did not help with this

after successfully setting up and using adb for a couple of days with my viewpad 7e (device-id is 0x0bb0 - this value is in my adb_usb.ini - although i believe it once worked with 0xbb0 - now both doesnt) adb decided not to see my tablet anymore.

EDIT: of course usb debugging is enabled.

i can use the binaries, only my device does not show up anymore. mac os x knows about the device:

ViewPad 7e:

Product ID:	0x0005
Vendor ID:	0x0bb0 (Concord Camera Corp.)
Version:	2.27
Serial Number:	ViewSonic

Manufacturer:	VS
Location ID:	0xfd120000 / 4
Current Available (mA):	500
Current Required (mA):	500

mac osx 10.7.5

android-sdk downloaded again yesterday, so it should be pretty damn new.

besides the adb_usb.ini the installation is straight forward what you'll find in almost any howto on setting up adb. so where did i go wrong? or, what other stuff between my macbook and adb could keep adb from seeing the device? i got no ideas. if you need any more info about the device or the host, please let me know.

EDIT2: i use vmware fusion on my macbook. this normally asks me wether to pass on a usb device to the VM or connect it to the host. it does _NOT_ (however, settings regarding this are correct as in 'always ask') ask me anymore. i suspect this could be the problem. did anyone have this issue before?

G'day All

I hope I can be a big help to you all by dumping the ROM of a Galaxy Note II DUOS GT-N7102 my brother bought from China. I have successfully rooted it via ExynosAbuse, and I was wondering how to dump the rom and recovery for someone to cook custom roms for it.

Things I have noticed:

1. The ROM can be set to English, but certain aspects, like the Dual SIM features are still in Chinese. Is it hard to translate to English?

2. The phone was advertised on Samsung China as being compatible with WCDMA 850MHz (Telstra, Vodafone AU), but I can't get it to work. 900MHz (Optus) works fine though. I have tried the Debug Menus, but still no dice. I can select it, but it won't switch over. Is there a way to get it to work?

3. As with all Chinese Domestic Market phones, there is no Google Play.

4. The phone runs Jelly Bean 4.1.1

5. The Primary SIM is 3G/2G, the Secondary SIM is 2G only

If its for legit torrents, I'm sure there is a webscript(maybe even with a mobile layout) that would let you set up trackers for torrents hosted off a webserver. However if your trying to host tracker files from your phone good luck, probably would require a ubuntu port and a solid wifi connection.

For the past few days I've bean learning about editing my SystemUI.apk and I've bean trying to change my status bar to transparent. But, this didn't work.

This is what i did:

1. I got my SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, and twframework-res.apk.

2. Using apktool (windows) I installed the apks, decompiled , edited tw-super-status-bar.xml and drawables.xml, and finally I recompiled.

3. I added the Meta-Inf file,re-zipped, and changed to apk.

4. Finally, I zip-aligned the new .apk and introduced it to my system.

I tried several times but it didn't work. Instead, after rebooting, I lost my status bar, wallpaper, long press home button, and notification panel.

What am I missing guys?

I don't believe this will really save battery. One core running higher loads should take longer and increase the screen on time, CPU temp due to higher core usage etc.

I think you will end up with a slower phone with similar or worse battery life.

Do some tests
