[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RetardedSnowman:
I can only get into download mode on my phone. So I am trying to flash a stock ROM. When using either Odin or Heimdall its goes to 100% kernel and gets stuck there then fails. In the Heimdall command line its says...

Uploading KERNAL

100%

ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!

KERNEL upload failed!

Ending session...

ERROR: Failed to send end session packet!

Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I followed Entropy's guide on Heimdall.

If the pre order date for the RT is to be a guide then pre order for the Pro should be on January 16th.

Any others think along this line

Not that we're clock wathcing or anything but what sort of time are we expecting this to kick off?
[Microsoft Surface] martyj999:
The more I use my RT, the less I feel compelled to go for the pro, sure it's not gonna run photoshop or autocad any time soon, but having run remote desktop from my main rig I don't think I'd want it to, kinda wipes the floor with an ipad though, just need to get a wider option of media playback and a 3rd party browser with all the plugins you'd need and I'd be sorted.

[Microsoft Surface] GaresTaylan:
Unfortunately, I have a feeling Microsoft is going to wait until the Brazil event to open up pre-orders. If they want to try an build more momentum for the Pro, I cant see them just haphazardly setting the pre-order page to go live.

Kind of a bummer. I bought a Surface a couple weeks ago because I thought I would be content with it - but I feel limited on it like I do my iPad. Unfortunately, at least with my iPad, more of my limitations can be sidestepped using random apps in the app store, which I either cant find equivalent apps for in the Windows store or if I do, they just arent there in quality/performance yet.

Because of this, I decided to return the RT, but was hoping I would be able to swap for a Pro at the time. Looks like Ill probably have to return it and wait a couple weeks.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Just wondering... have you tried the various hacks and re-compiled apps being offered in the dev&hacking forum? There's been a big surge recently in the capabilities of Windows RT purely because of that, and it's still going on; every day new apps get added to the list, performance improvements and bugfixes for apps are released, hacks are refined and expended to cover more use cases, and so on.
[Microsoft Surface] StarLog:
Ok I am jonesing need a prozac
[Microsoft Surface] Trig0r:
Wonder if pre-order will start on the 29th and we'll have to wait even longer to get our hands on the actual device..

Just something to cheer you all up on a monday lol
[Microsoft Surface] GaresTaylan:
As much as I hate to say it - I have a feeling this is what will happen. Hopefully it doesn't get pushed back any later than this if it does. Even still, if pre-orders open on the 29th we would probably be looking at 2/8 or so for a release? Unless they decide to push it back further until after the Chinese new year.
[Microsoft Surface] beestee:
Looks like Feb 9th is the release date.

In the speedrom theres a flashlight tweak that we can use in back ground but since I have an other phone I didnt find an app or tweak like that. All the app on the market makes the led go off when we exit the app. I need this tweak because the camera on my new phone (Atrix HD) is very poor but when the light is open its okay.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ninjistix:
have you tried? tiny flash light its a free flashlight app that runs in the background, since that seems to be your issue...
[HTC Amaze 4G] LeGenDz R3DeaDz:
thank you but my camera forced close when the led is active. what to do?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ninjistix:
since your camera needs the led for taking pictures.. you obviously cant use the camera while another application is using the led.. just close the flashlight and open the camera.. besides your camera should have auto or flash features.. so there's no need to have the flashlight on while taking pictures
[HTC Amaze 4G] LeGenDz R3DeaDz:
but in speedrom i can use the camera when the flashlight is on (status bar tweak) and yes my new phones do bad picture whit is flash it's need to be full of light because it's not doing a good focus tho
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ninjistix:
i'm not sure about that.. but on my phone if the led is on... i cannot access the camera... maybe because the sense camera is different from the aosp camera... that could be the issue...but its not a big deal.. like i said before.. most people don't use the led while having the camera on.. xD

Do these even go together?

Can you think of a better combo for about the same price? (no conjecture please)

How large of a powersource would be sufficient for this?

[Motorola Droid X2] bluroff:
I have finally discovered how to remove all nonessential blur components and services. Because they are codependent, hunting and pecking at them quickly leaves one certain the can of worms is bound to the phone; fortunately this is not actually the case.

The trick is to install fully interoperable replacement apps, then strip the blur all at once, like a band aid on hairy flesh.

First I installed:

ADW Launcher

Contacts Editor Free

Contacts+

Messages+

(and "XPhone - Phone and Contacts", but really contacts+ should have it covered, I just like this)

Then with root explorer, I removed:

blur-services

blur_activesync

blur_email

blur_facebook

blur_flickr

blur_lastfm

blur_linkedin

blur_myspace

blur_orkut

blur_photobucket

blur_picassa

blur_skyrocket

blur_twitter

blur_yahoo

blur_youtube

BlurCalendar

BlurCalendarProvider

BlurChooser

BlurContacts

BlurEmail

BlurEmailEngine

BlurHome

BlurTasks

BlurUpdater_VZW

Conversations

FakeBlurXmppApp

Fota

FriendFeed

IMPresence

MessagesWidget

Messaging

MyVerizon

NewsWidget

OnlineAlbum

QuickContactWidget

QuickSms

RichLocationVzW

Setup

SetupProvier

SocialMessaging

SocialShare

StatusWidget

UniversalInbox

Vcast

Vvm

WZWIM

WorkContacts

YahooConctacs

I removed both the apk and odex, to SD, in case I ever need them for other testing, which was very important when I was just figuring this out)

There were looping force closes afterward, I pulled the battery to get the phone to restart.

When it starts, the entire system works without blur.

The only blur feature I like, automatic contact photos from facebook, contacts+ also does.

Depending on the exact phone, there are certainly other Verizon or Motorola apps you can remove, but that covers the things that are part of the can of worms that is blur I have confirmed full functionality without.

If you want to do this, you already know how much nicer things will run without it, I don't have to convince you.
[Motorola Droid X2] bluroff:
remember

Remember you can use this instead:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1575259

If you don't mind flashing or scripting.

I'll continue seeing what additional blur can be removed from a rooted phone you are already using.

Unfortunately I haven't found anything that would suggest that you can. The best I could do is have one of my friends tell me what each section states, but that may be a long while from now.

Unable to switch it back on

Hi,

first of all, please excuse me if this is not exactly related to this post, but I see there is not much discussion around this device so I figured this would be an okayish place to ask.

I got my ZTE U950 just today, put my SIM and MicroSD cards in it, turned it on, all OK. I played with it for a while, changed the language into English, tried some apps, deleted lots of default installed Chinese apps (such as Baidu, QQ, Baidu maps, etc).

I run Debian on my machine, so this guide wasn't working for me. However, I tried to run Genotools on Wine and followed the first steps, but no pop-up showed in my phone and I decided that probably Wine wasn't forwarding the USB dev properly. The phone kept on working normally for a while, I even recieved a phone call.

Then I turned it off just to switch the SIM back to my old phone and, after that, I haven't been able to switch the ZTE back on again. At first I thought it'd be the battery running out (although it reported 50% left while it was on), but I've had it connected for about 30 minutes now and I still can't turn it on...

Do you guys know if there is something I can try?

Thanks a lot and excuse me again if I posted in the wrong place... (and if I have, could you please point out where should I post it?)

Bernat.

EDIT: Today I woke up, I pressed the power button and... surprise! It just worked!

No Popup on phone

Hello

I have tried to follow the steps as you have mentioned.

Root>2nd Button>Popup>ok

But nothing appeared on my phone.

Can you guide me what should I do.

I have USB debugging and Unknown Source checked but no popup appeared on my phone.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cmoegele:
Do you have the usb-drivers installed ? (doublechek in device manager for windows ) Sometimes Win7-64 or Firewalls block uncertified drivers to install correctly. For 7-64 you can press F8 during early boot and choose "force unsigned drivers" or something simiar. On linux you should go through an Android adb installation howto, to correctly get debuginterface running.

Once you have installed chinese recover you can install some prerooted images from the hungarion or chinese sites.

3G

Hi guys,

does anybody know if/how it is possible to connect to a 3G network with this terminal? In the specs it says it can only connect to Chinese 3G networks, so I'd like to know whether this is a software or a hardware restriction.

If it's a hardware one, I guess the solution must be pretty complex...

I was able to root my ZTE V985 couple days ago. Download root installation package from:

http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=68344&uk=2753639880

1. Install ZTE USB driver first: Goto Settings -Developer options - enable Driver CDROM. Connect your phone to the computer and install driver package from ZTE. 985root.7z package has also ZTE USB driver but it didn't work on my Win 7, so I installed drivers from phone.

2. Turn off CDROM mode and enable USB debugging mode and Unknown sources

3. Unzip 985root.7z file to any folder

4. Run xxxroot.bat and command window appears. Script will stop and ask you to press any key (in Chinese)

5. Check that your phone is connected and press any key. Script will upload files to your phone

6. There will be popup window on your phone. Click Restore my data

7. Phone will then boot up but keep it connected to PC and wait until it is fully booted

8. if there's nothing going on in command window, press any key and command window closes. If your are rooted, you have SuperUser app

---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

Hahaha you silly billy, i know whats happened to you! You got the ZTE U985 instead of the V985. The ZTE U985 only supports TD-SCDMA 3g network which is CHINA only. You should have bought the ZTE V985 which is WCDMA 800/1900/2100 mhz which supports western 3G networks. LMFAO. I feel sorry for you fella.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cmoegele:
Where did you buy the v985 ? I only can find offers from 350-400$ and for this pricing I can´t find any real advantages buying a chinese phone , there is also no DualSim,and normally very limited languages ( chinese cwm?),....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] suunnittelija:
I bought it from fastcardtech.com, only 275 USD with free delivery.

From hardware specs point of view this is a really good phone, fast as my Asus TF700T tab with Tegra 3. It also supports WCDMA 900/2100MHz which are the most used 3G frequencies in EU. It does have only English and Chinese languages, but I used MoreLocale 2 to get more choices. More Locale does not change system language (like settings, caller app etc) so those will remain in English, but for example now other apps like Google play, Chrome etc. supports the language you have chosen in MoreLocale.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alz_uk:
Dont get it wrong my mate the zte v985 is a beast of a phone + a smart piece of hardware. Only downfall i see is the limited rom/root/customization support since its new (october 2012)

Reasons why you should purchase the zte v985:

1. really supports APP2SD (install apps to external sd so you never run out of space and you dont have to throw away your phone when internal memory of 4GB gets full like most other android phones)

2. quad core cpu + 12 core NVIDIA gpu (theres websites full of games made only for this cpu + gpu)

3. USB OTG (using your superfast cpu and gpu together with usb otg you can turn your phone into an high class gaming system using two usb game controllers playing arcade roms and 3d games ON YOUR PHONE!). This is an awesome feature that not all phones support even some high performance quad core phones dont have this function.

4. 720P HD screen + 1080P HD Playback/Recording

5. Full MHL support (usb to hdmi)

6. Cheapest all round high performance quad core. Awesome price (£190) for a phone compared to other quad core high performance phones e.g galaxy note 2 @ £500

NOTE: if you would like to buy this phone for the price mentioned leave a message with your email or contact me i know a seller in china.

NOTE: Or you could wait another month or two and buy the new mtk 6589 quad core phones such as the UMI X2 which is quad core, DUAL SIM, usb otg, 2GB RAM, 32GB ROM and dirt cheap (£200!!!)

I get my ZTE V985 today through the post, cant wait till i get it!

I'm in Shanghai...In your case, honestly I'm not sure if it's worth to pay for a new mainboard and international postage.
