[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donrull:
I have a decent amount of experience flashing a couple of HP Touchpads, our Nexus S 4G CDMA phones and our HTC One V CDMA phones. I have learned alot along the way but for the last 2 days I have finally decided to unlock, root and flash our Xooms. The Xooms have already been updated to Android 4.1 with OTA updates and it has not been nearly as straightforward as my previous experiences. My motivation was Motorola ceasing to support them and a desire to get the Team EOS Xoom Jellybean MR1 4.2 Windray nightlies installed!

I started by going to the Motorola page with the official unlock my device instructions. Nothing I did could get those instructions to work. Finally I returned to XDA...my go to place in the past. It seems that I have finally accomplished my goal, but I could not find any instructions that could have easily helped me to avoid several pitfalls.

The very first thing I wish any instructions would have told me is that the latest CWM Recovery OR TWRP can not read the external SD card on Xooms. I do not know exactly why this is, but it seems it is either because I already had OTA updates prior OR for some reason I can't figure out.

So, in posting here I am wondering if anyone can point me to a comprenhinsive set of instructions for doing what I had so much difficulty doing so that I can save it for future reference. I assure you that I searched not only these forums, but the internet exhaustively, and although I was able to find answers to the many challenges that came up, the tutorials on this forum were so old that it surprised me. Does anyone know of a tutorial for unlocking, rooting and flashing the latest Android to a Xoom that helps to avoid the pitfalls?

Thanks!

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
To unlock bootloader and root try LordAIOTool (or popularly LAIOT), it will do this work for you... Then after I think you already know how to flash if you said you have experience (reboot into recovery blah blah blah)

Hello, quick question. In my car I have a double din Bluetooth enabled stereo. I use my phone to stream music to my car. When I am using the stock music player, it displays the correct mediadata on the stereo. However, when I use player pro, or any other player, it plays the audio fine, but displays the album mediadata from the stock player. Is there any way to have the phone send out the song mediadata from player pro? Thanks for the help.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MirQoo:
is it possible to get OTA update on my note2 when im rooted and with clockwork recovery? Or do i need to flash stock recovery first then unroot ? Is it even worth it to do all this to update from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Yeah it's totally worth it.

Wipe data.

Flash stock rom.

Root.

Triangle away.

Wipe data and cache and dalvik.

Flash stock rom.

Update.

Root again :D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidguru:
But if you are rooted and flash a 4.1.2 rom you've already upgraded, without having to unroot/root.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Then you gotta download the big fat 1 gb rom altogether.

Theoretically you will save time unless your download speed is > 1 mbps.

Hi guys I really want to use a GB Rom version for my SGS ( MesoROM) really love it it really fasten the phone and all and it's very stable...battery life is perfect..but I have only one problem..playing in some online games it crashes....I thought it was a problem of the game so I searched the game forum and I read that it probably was an incompatibility with the sound ....Is there any fix for it so I can use this lovely ROM for my SGS?

I've searched all overt the net but nothing so I would like to ask you guys if you know a way to solve this problem..

The game in question is Arcane Legends...

Thank you guys..

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Droid Premium:
Hey guys! I just got my Galaxy Note 2 today and i am already ready to mess with it.

I was looking around and saw some threads saying that T-Mobile and At&t versions of the Galaxy Note 2 have the same LTE band and frequencies. And that you could run a T-Mobile GN2 on At&t LTE...since T-mobile doesnt have it just yet.

I am currently on T-Mobile with a t-mobile SIM. I am curious to if I flash an ATT modem/radio to my T-Mobile GN2 would that give me the ATT lte capabilities?

I don't want to jump the gun and brick my phone the first day i got it lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nolenm04:
No that doesnt work...no one has gotten it to work yet. But one member is getting an update from tmo for their lte and is gonna upload a backup so the devs can hopefully turn on lte on the phones so when tmo turns on there towers we will get lte :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Droid Premium:

My wife has T-Mobile note 2 unlocked on att sim she gets 4g all day every day it supports 4g icon if that tells you anything.

It Doesn't say lte but says 4g and fast as he**

If you unlock the note 2 via hidden diale menu and throw in att sim, its 4g immediately no APN configuration needed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nolenm04:
Yeah thats hspa+ not lte
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Droid Premium:
I will be using a T-Mobile SIM so that is out of the question. But thanks for the information :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savagepagan:
I bought a new note 10.1 on ebay. I am considering getting a Square Trade 2 yr warranty + accidents(drops and spills) for about $88. I did register the tablet on the samsung website.

Would it be worth the money to buy the Square Trade 2 yr warranty + accidents for about $88?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midas69:
I'm not usually one to purchase extended warranties. But I did for the Note. It's not like a TV or refrigerator that just gets plugged in and stays in one place it's entire life. It's real easy to envision dropping this thing and causing some major damage. Every time you pick it up you're at risk. Add in sitting on a table while it's charging and tripping on the cord and it just seemed worth it to me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECOTOX:
Do it if you have the money, I use to not but when you're on a budget and you can't afford it to crap out on you then it helps
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samir_a:
For the cost you are paying for the two years its a good deal you should go for it, make sure it covers everything including the screen and body bec thats the only thing you will damage

I got a factory refurbished from walmart and a 2 year extended warranty for 49 $
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richjt92:
Extended Warranty for Tablets

I have for my cell phone and other tablets...but you might want to look if your home owners or renters insurance has the option for a Computer Clause.

I found that for $50/year I can get $10K for of coverage for ALL my computers....

Extended Warranties are staright profit for those companies who offer them...but I have used my AppleCare warranties for my MacBook Pro when it stopped working on one of my deployments and it paid for itself....otherwise I have not used one...

I guess it is how hard you are on your portable electronics....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samir_a:
Well Apple support cannot be matched Samsung does not even come close.

If under warranty there is anything wrong with your device it will be replaced no other manufacturer will do that

Nice... I bought my GNote 8 mos ago at BestBuy, they whacked me for 160.00 for a 2 year. Come to find out its really a 1 year bcz it piggy backs on the Sammy 1 year. And same for the other lappy's for the kids. How stupid is that?

Hey guys,

on my Telus right now running CleanRom 3.5 (which is great) wondering if i need to flash back to stock rom to upgrade to 4.0.5 or can i just boot into TWRP recovery and wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset and install via external sd card directly?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the semi noobish question :good: i learnt alot soft bricking my buddies lol but now he has 4.0.5 and i want to do mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jyazzie110:
I know on 4.0 he recommended a full wipe......if I were you I would do the sane with 4.0.5

Semt from my Galaxy Note 2 running SkyNote2.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MTLean:
By full wipe you mean the steps I stated in TWRP above?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
Yes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MTLean:
Thanks guys ill try that. Worst case i did download the stock Telus tar if anything happens :)

Ill post the update when i get a chance to pull the trigger later on
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattg1234567:
Yes do a full wipe or it can result in errors I recommend wipe cache wipe davik factory reset...install rom and after I do factory reset again inside rom once loaded so it get rids of other junk not deleted I found that my storage didnt add up right until I did that then I re installed apps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MTLean:
Installed worked great but now for some reason I have bo mobile data even though it seemed enabled... any ideas??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jyazzie110:
check your apn settings?

Semt from my Galaxy Note 2 running SkyNote2.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattg1234567:
Reboot phone

Hard reset home key amd power...and reboot after

It happen to me today too but ur probably in bad area too...I was in home which normally works but a weak spot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MTLean:
None of them where selected, I chose Telus without modifying the settings followed by a hard reset with no luck..

Yea this ROM is beautiful. My main device is the Sprint S3 but I felt like giving back to the old evo forums. Also I depend on feedback from you guys to help me figure out what's wrong I can only do so much on my old evo. So I need logcats if you have any FC's on anything major

I rebased the ROM so next update should be way better only thing that's really left is to Apply Dannys XTC theme and fix the lockscreens in tweaks. But on the new base Sprint VVM doesn't work,Epst,160 character bug so I'm thinking of rebasing Once again lol

-Fix updater script to mount data before flashing kernel

-Theme camera icon back to normal

-Fix mms(doing that now)

- Maybe VVM?(i dont have service on this phone so might not even bother)

-EPST

-Reach out for help on these lockscreen tweaks cuz im stumped for now(gonna look at it again later)

-Then finally reskin to XTC skin by danny
