[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
It seems you have a droid incredible 2, not incredible s.

Enter the boot loader by powering off, take battery out, put it back in, hold power+voldown at the same time for 4 secs. It will say either vivo or vivo_w.

Vivo is incredible s, vivow is droid incredible 2

Incredible s has official ICS updates, but the droid incredible 2 doesn't.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Hey Guys,

Ive been meaning to purchase a portable HDD for my Note II ever since i got myself a USB OTG cable. Ive tried working my Imation Apollo 2.5" to my phone but with no luck, its been formatted to FAT32 and its only 120GB with a single partition, the LED lights up and i can hear a spinning sound but its short and runs in loops. Not sure what that means but ive tried hooking up a USB thumb drive and the wireless mouse and they both worked so the issue cant be from the OTG connector and it also works on the PC.

Anyways, im planning on heading out to the IT store in a few days to get my hands on a 500GB portable HDD. I would love to hear from you guys what brands/model/capacity works on your Note 2 so I dont end up with the wrong choice. Any input on this is most welcome.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edwinpang:
Doesn't the hdd need power supplied to it?

Note 2 cannot output electricity through thr micro usb port
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Not really. There are a lot of people who have manage to work portable hard drives on their note 2 provided its formatted to Fat32 even upto 1TB or more... But not sure why it's not working with mine.

i an guessing that it is the normal WD 3.0 passport or something... a model which requires the least power should be the best i suppose
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Yes but to be honest I rather be 100percent sure before getting one since I'm only getting it for the Note2, I've got plenty of hard drives that don't work. With this device..Although I was wondering what if I just get a portable casing that supports USB 3.0 and fit in my old hard drive in it. Will that do.?

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammer of thor:
i guess the only way to be sure is to test it before buying... maybe someone you know has one...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
It seems portable HDD with USB 3.0 capability seems to work with us otg on the note 2 since it uses less power, as I tried one from a friend today. It was a 1TB western digital USB3.0. Also I think by default Sammy rom doesn't support NTFS file system so I had to download a 3rd party app called Paragon NTFS to mount the hard drive with NTFS file system. It worked perfectly.

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammer of thor:
that is actually really good news... just i need to confirm one more thing though... they say that using an hdd with the otg a lot will damage the phone due to the over drain of voltage etc.... i don't know if that is true...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatbuccha:
Hey guys, does a usb 3.0 hdd work with otg? I have a seagate 500gb and its not working ...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
I don't think it will damage the phone but it will probably.drastically reduce your battery life cycle since you will.be charging your phone a lot. I was wondering.if I connect a usb hub and attached the hdd and a.charger so it charges the phone and runs hard drive at the same time. Not sure if that configuration will work though.

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
If it's capable of usb 3.0 then there's no reason why it shouldn't. If you hear the disks spinning and you get a notification on the phone that it's detected but not reading it then you either have to reformat the hdd to a fat32 or extfat file system or download paragon ntfs app. Otherwise if the disk doesn't spin then it's not supported at all since it requires higher voltage than what your phone provides.

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammer of thor:
i don't think you can reverse charge while attaching to a powered usb hub.. i am more interested here as in my country you have a lot of electricity black outs... so an hdd would come i handy when i have nothing else to do other than smash my fists on the wall:D... i hate these small 16-64g memories... we have the technology for tabs and phones to have 500gb disk space... no one is used to using their portable devices that way... it will happen when desktops become obsolete...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Basically the hard drive with my phone is all I need to keep my laptop stowed away until it is really needed. I work offshore so I need to keep devices as mobile as possible since I'm always on the go and can't carry a lot of stuff with me. It would be really nice to have a case that has built in keyboard and a usb otg built in... That would be awesome, I wonder why the Chinese haven't come up with something like that yet.

But I do love the big giant screen of the galaxy note 2! also the customizability. Its actually a lose lose for me.

I can never go back to an iphone. I had the 4s and my wife still has the 4. Whenever I grab her phone for something I feel like I'm holding a watch phone or something. It's just too small. Even my friend's 5 feels way too small. On that point alone I'll never be able to return to IOS unless they release a MINIMUM of 5 inches. And even that seems not enough now. I wouldn't mind the Note 3 going to 5.7 or 5.8 inches.

Hello and please help me.

Since 3 weeks, i've my tab blocked on the acer logo. I never rooted it and never installed another ROM. The last official ROM was the ICS.

I didn't activate the USB debug mode.

3 weeks ago my tab reboot and after I see only the logo ACER.

When I tried to use the recovery mode with an update.zip on the microSD, I have the message "Erasing Userdata... Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x19000008).

I tried many tuto with SKK_EUU or EUU, but the problem is th progression bar freeze on the last step (download mode).

I tried the tool nvflash with APXFlashtool but stop at the fomat partition 4 step.

My tab is out warranty

Please help me

Thank a lot

How to reinstall the recovery without ADB
[Acer Iconia A500] VelosCohagen:
Try this:

Download the Bad Sector Tool out of my Dropbox: http://db.tt/won7nZlr

-Bring your tab in Apx Mode and connect it with your pc.

-Run a501a.but.

-When finished boot in recovery. Under Mounts and Storage format System Partition three times.

-When finished bring tab back in Apx Mode and run A501b.but. When finished, your tab will be on v8 ics unlocked bootloader and with cwm 1.7.3 recovery. Now you can flash any ics or jb rom you want or go back to stock with euu tool.

[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Download link from the guide is working. fine??

And I'm rather confused about your issue

You say you were stock non rooted but u got the unrecocverable bootloader error...

U also said u lost recovery mode

And u tried fastboot

You must have the v8 or rooted to do anything like this?

Be that as it may...you'll need to do a full and proper hard reset...erasing userdata and cache if u can

Then run an update.zip 3.1 full from the same guide follow steps to root and flash. Cwm.

From there flash the v8....everything u need. Is in that guide..

You may have to try it a couple of times

I only know of one other person with this error that got fixed

Oh btw fastboot OEM unlock don't work on Acer

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot

Is correct command
[Acer Iconia A500] dricou:
Hello dibb_nz

Yesterday It was OK for the Download link.

To restore my tab I tried many thing :

- Put the update.zip on the microSD and boot the tab on recovery mode : It didn't work, I never saw the logo Android i've the error "unrecoverable bootloader"

- I tried to boot my tab on fastboot and pass many command, nothing is good

- I tried the APX mode with EUU, SBK, Babsector, direct nvflash command, nothing work with different error like Formating partition 4 error, read / write .

I think my internal RAM is dead
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
fastboot do u get a menu or "fastboot mode" displayed??

when u type in "fastboot devices" do u see anything after that???

You def wanna try hard reset
[Acer Iconia A500] dricou:
When I boot my tab on fastboot mode i see on the tab "Bootloader V0.3.12-ICS : Starting fastboot usb download protocol

For Fastboot device i see

C:\ICS_rooting>fastboot devices

? fastboot

When I try to do a recovery i see "erasing cache before update ..." and nothing after

When I try to do a Hard reset i see

erasing userdata

unrecoverable bootloader error (0x19000008)
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
OK I'm no Dec just normal user someone with far more kudos could help better....its possible to flash a boot and recovery image via fastboot probably even a system image but you need to know what you're doing else all will be lost.

Hard reset using fastboot commands

Fastboot erase userdata

Fastboot erase cache

Fastboot reboot

Nit sure where u got that bootloader version but doesn't quite sound right to me....but in saying that u do have fastboot? Things seem really screwed up and not sure if u can 'unscrew' it all....

Go have a read of the OP by skrilax in the bootloader thread there are 2 threads read both there is ALOT of useful info there

There's a post in there by vache about fastboot boot recovery.....you'll need a compatible recovery image tho and as I said u can really really end up? ?? I do hope u have some luck

Rom Toolbox Pro is all you need. It has everything (App/Data Backup, ad blocker, build.prop editor, root browser etc).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Phasma343:
I found Rom Toolbox Pro to be really clunky and slow. Also the SMS/MMS backup only backups the DB instead of backing up to XML. Meaning if you restore on other phones or between different ROMS sometimes it causes issues. The adblocker was sub-par as well.

Titanium Backup Pro is a must and much better than Rom Toolbox Pro. Especially with the scheduled backups and sending them to dropbox.

AdAway is awesome as well.

Pretty much everything else can be done from an adb shell session easier than with an app.

There is nothing like have a notification light that is fully customizable. It is 100% the reason I bought this phone and getting rid of my evo lte. HTC's pathetic light is worthless and won't even stay on longer than 5 minutes.

Very illegal depending on the circumstances, but acts as a gatekeeper for traffic on wifi networks. I.E you can redirect traffic on the network you are connected to through your phone.
