This +100 don't get stuck on toolkits they make you soft. Learning how to do it by yourself, will make you a thousand times better in the long run.
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Agreed but you don't just jump in the pot with risking an investment you just bought.

Yea, manually doing it isn't hard but that's considering you understand what your doing. I wouldn't recommend my grandmother to go to the command line.

In fact I recommend using the toolkits. Not everyone gives 2 craps about "learning" anything and just want it done. Plus it is a good way to teeth on learning the process and understand it before jumping in.

There is nothing worse then screwing something up and having a dead tablet and not know how to fix it. That comes with experience and expertise that most people don't want to fool with.

I'm a seasoned vet yet I pushed the wrong bootloader to the wrong device. And that IS a brick.

To the OP: Welcome to our playground. I recommend Paranoid Android. Seems to have the options you were requesting.
[Nexus 7 General] SithDagger:
There is risk in toolkits as well, I tried a toolkit and it didn't work, almost bricked my tablet, thankfully fastboot commands saved me.

Root=risk, its normal, that's android. Don't like risk, don't unlock the bootloader, don't root, simple.

Rootkits can be handy, but I prefer to learn and know what I'm doing, but hey the OP might want to root and run like you said, dunno.

[Nexus 7 General] nodstuff:
And most importantly:

Don't do as xateeq has done and create a second account to go around thanking his first account.

Don't believe it? Look at his posts from today and recently and see that nearly 100% of them are thanked by "xateeqv2" a profile with a name stupidly similar to his original name (very silly) and which has no posts, only lots of thanks for xateeq!

This sort of carry on is NOT allowed on xda.
[Nexus 7 General] AFAinHD:

P.S: No harm done and i am not going to explain to yo this again, I have talked with MOD and the problem is resolved.
[Nexus 7 General] nodstuff:
You have to be stupid and have no common sense to not know that starting a second account to thank your first was wrong.

Why would you even do it?

It's pathetic.
[Nexus 7 General] xateeq:
I not trying to win an argument over hear, You or some other user have sent me a private message and i have replied it with the problem that actually occurred and resulted in this **** storm.

Have resolved the issue and for the FYI point of view i posted a picture with the actual rules in it.

So Brother don't get me wrong i didn't said what i did was write but i was under the impression that i was doing nothing wrong.
[Nexus 7 General] nodstuff:
I'm not arguing with you, it's obvious that making a second account to thank yourself with is wrong.

Your story that you made an account for your friend and they thanked all your posts but posted nothing, is ridiculous and a lie.

Look back at your previous posts, how many of them have been thanked by your fake account? Most of them, 10 today alone.

Seriously now, drop it and move on.
[Nexus 7 General] AFAinHD:
You didn't think boosting your thanks count by giving yourself fake thanks with a fake account was wrong? Yea obviously. I don't see how anyone could see that as being wrong.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gilbot:
I have a couple ideas/thoughts and I'd like to see what others think or know from experience with other devices.

Currently with locerra's CM10.1 builds, data is enabled along with the dialer. The tab is able to surf web over 4g and send SMS/MMS messages over cmda perfectly. The dialer, however, is broken. You can dial out and can receive incoming calls, but the minute you answer a call or a call connects no sound is heard on the tablet end and you cannot speak out from the tablet.

I think that this is a result/limitation of our VZW radio. This is where I have a crazy idea:

Would it be possible to flash a radio from another device to the tab that would enable voice calls? This was actually done with the 3g galaxy tab 10.1 in the u.s. using the international radio. This instance was near identical so it makes sense that it worked easily.

After looking around, it seems the Samsung SCH-R760 (U.S. Cellular Galaxy S2) is the closest CDMA device that supports the same bands and does roam on Verizon.

So for those that know, I have a multitude of questions:

Does flashing an incorrect radio always result in a brick?

Would Odin successfully flash an incorrect modem file or would the flash fail?

If an incorrect radio is attempted to be flashed via Odin and succeeds, would it be flashed to the correct partition on the device?

Is knowing the partition layout of the device I would like to flash the modem from necessary in order to have the modem flashed?

Our tab has a separate LTE modem, would flashing an incorrect modem break 4G?

Would flashing the sch-i815 modem restore the Tab's radio in case it doesn't work?

I am curious because i have read around and noticed galaxy note users flashing radios for use on T-Mobile, etc..
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] scchenzheng:
i thank it is a good idea, i had flash the i500 radio to i800,it is work good, i also do the same as you think.i found the same as i515 the CDMA,

---------- Post added at 08:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------

i think you can not Flash the r760 to i815,because the CDMA model. difficult, the i815 CDMA modem factory is VIA chips. i suggestion you think the sprint i515

Hello all,

I've tried using the Panorama picture function on the galaxy tab 2...but believe it or not am having difficulty in getting to work. Most of the times I try it, I get a "Failed" message. I may not be using the feature correctly...so please let me know if what I am doing is not right haha.

I click on the Panorama feature... then I press the picture button to begin. I'm then slowly moving to the right while staying withing the blue rectangle. After I want to finish, I move a little to the left (after taking the last picture), and press the picture button again.

Where I could be going wrong is in the end (to stop taking shots)... any advice?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
That's pretty much what I do except for that little move to the left you finish with. Basically, I just push the button and slowly turn, letting it do it's thing, then when I want to stop, I push the button again. They usually come out pretty good, in fact, usually they're surprisingly good.

Last resort ... try a warranty replacement.

Is the phone experiencing the same issues with other wireless networks (coffee shops, McD's)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesperateScorpion:
[Fixed]

The issue was not with the phone, but with the router/modem. This was the century link modem with wifi and router from walmart that was bought for $99. Its an actiontech router with built in modem for century link. This does not work and dont bother purchasing it. I ended up buying the NETGEAR DGND3300 RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router with Built-in DSL Modem from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001UHMB5O/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00) for a 30 dollars more, but it works. Only extra step was that i had to call century link for my username and password that needs to be entered during the setup procedure. The actiontech from walmart did this automatically (mainly because this was a century link branded product).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blewispunk:
I have been running the Team Sonic-FreeGS3 ROM and really like it but I can't find how to get to my MS Exchange Tasks that are synchronized.

I have my MS Exchange ActiveSync setup and it lists Sync Tasks in the list but I don't see the task app or any of the task widgets that were with the stock ROM in order to access the synchronized tasks.

Any way to get the application and widgets back on here?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sponix2ipfw:
MS Exchange Tasks

:confused:

Just taking a stab at this, but you say something to the effect of "I need back App XYZ from Stock" ... So --> Go Get it from Stock --> There are a handful of Stock Roms Out there (freeza did one) that you can snag from. To my knowledge though FreeGS3 wasn't one to _strip_ things out from the stock _much_. There are also a handful of ROM's that did strip apps, but have made app packs available so you can add them back in, that could also get you back on your feet.

If none of that works, you could rid yourself of Microsoft Rubbish and just use a Google/Android native setup for a task/Calendar type setup as a possibility.

hi

I downloaded arabic stock rom from htcdev.com but it isn't a zip file :crying:

how can I install it?

my bootloader is unlock and I'm using jaggyrom 3.2

the stock rom has this name:

pico-2.6.38-gb-crc-6dd95d7.tar.gz
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Neel.Aryan:
Double click the file to open it. If it contains boot.img, system folder & meta-inf folder... then this can be flashed, but not in that tar.gz format.

You need to extract it and make another zip archive. Put all those items into the zip archive and set the compression method as store.

Now, flash this zip file.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] porya_1986:

but it doesn't have those folders

Take a look at mt3g's thread and pick one. If you don't like it, you can always flash another.

The problem with threads like this is that all of the developers work hard on their ROMs, and to say one is best would not only be disrespectful to the other developers, it would be little more than a personal opinion. There is no "best" ROM, there's only a ROM that has the features you like (where someone else may like the features of another ROM better).

I have collected a few different versions of unmodified HTC drivers for Windows, all pulled from the HTC Sync application. I thought I'd post them for general consumption in case folks want to experiment.

HTC Drivers Folder at MediaFire

Versions 3.x are compatible with Window 7 and earlier

Versions 4.0-4.8 are compatible with Windows 8 and earlier

Version 4.10+ are compatible with Windows 8.1 and earlier

For most of these drivers packages, there is no "successfully installed" message. They were pulled from the HTC Sync installer, so the driver package is meant to install silently. You can verify their installation by looking for "HTC Drivers" in Programs under the Control Panel and making sure the version number matches what you just installed.

It has come to a lot of peoples furious attention that there is an issue with the latest RUU from HTC. I firsthand had to deal with it an it is documented in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2074643 in which i attempted to restore my htcdev unlocked phone back to stock.

THE ISSUE

The problem is the ruu is updating hboot and seemingly nothing else. Radios, recovery, rom, etc all have remained the same after running the ruu. Attempts at re running the ruu do nothing and various ways of flashing/applying the ruu are ineffective. This creates a stable but malfunctioning phone with mismatched hboot, radios, rom, and seems unable to take you back to fully stock.

Pre-RUU:

s-on

hboot: 1.19

radio: 1.05.11.0606

rom: stock rooted jb with superuser

Post-RUU: (after multiple flashings/applications)

hboot: 2.09

radio: 1.05.11.0606

rom: stock rooted jb with superuser (i'm assuming that this should have been completely stock instead its the same rom i had previous to ruu application)

In the mean time, I've been running the latest stock jb rom and its stable enough for a functioning phone but things like cellular data (streaming music from google music doesn't work or sending sexy pics to the ladies on snap chat) and lte is completely absent. If you experience the same issue post in here with what happened, solutions, fixes, etc.

GOING BACK TO STOCK

If you need to get back to stock or semi bricked your phone use the ruu for your current software not the latest (for example if your hboot is 1.19 use the ruu with hboot 1.19 not the jb ruu with 2.09 hboot)

For now it seems the best thing to do is aware htc of the problem, wait for a new ota update/ruu fix, and/or wait for new s-off method for 2.09,

tankerevo has been working on various attempts/fixes and i've forwarded this thread along with some other information to htc.

RESPONSE FROM HTC

THE FIX

Here's a possible fix complements of user Fuses. I have not tried this yet because i'm on vacation but it looks very promising and most likely works. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2097150
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tankerkevo:
Obviously, depending on the firmware version you are frozen at there will likely be variance in stability and function between ROMs and other users with the issue stuck at a different firmware version.

For me the last ICS stock ROM is working the best including LTE. But WiFi, Cell, and Data do restart rather incessantly.

MeanBean 2.0 works alright considering... But LTE doesn't work at all and the radios get very weak signals to the point that I start to enter roaming often.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IAmSixNine:
It might help to post before and after info of the radio versions, hboot, pri, all that stuff so if someone were to have used the RUU and it worked they can compare what the old stuff is to the new stuff.
