[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00456:
I tried installing the 4.2.2 OTA update on my unlocked and rooted Nexus 7 (no mods or anything). I have CWM 5.8. The update failed, so I rebooted and everything seemed normal (I am still on 4.2.1). Then, I went to the Play Store and tried to install some new app updates. As soon as I clicked the "Update" button, Play Store force closed, and continues to do so no matter how many times I clear cache/data from both Google Play Store and Play Store Services. I flashed the /system from a Nandroid backup of 4.2.1 but the problem still persists. I also tried reinstalling the Play Store apk but to no avail.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkoch820:
Save your data on pc, cloud, etc. and flash factory image, if you want to stay stock. There is also a 4.2.2 stock-ish ROM in the development section, it's deodexed, and rooted, so you don't have to do that manually. To flash factory image, I recommend using one of those toolkits from the development section.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00456:
I was going to try flashing the factory image, so I downloaded the .tgz file, but the Android Toolkit app kept giving me an error, saying that the device was offline. My Nexus 7 connects fine to my Windows 7 PC, but it doesn't seem to connect in ADB mode and I have no clue why. USB debugging is enabled, but I cannot get it to connect in ADB mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Combat_chuck:
Hey I need some help.

I have a stock exhibit II 4g and I am trying to root it but I've tried a thousand times and it will not go into recovery mode. I've tried many timing variations one the simple power and volume up. Some site say to do power, volume up, and home. and the there volume down and power which takes it into Odin Mode which just sits there "downloading" forever.

I've even watched youtube videos and time it exactly like they do but my phone just does not do the same thing that theirs does. Is there some trick to it that I'm not getting?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] theAPANT:
Try this. Plug it into USB cable of computer, pull out battery, hold volume up and power and reinsert battery. You should come to a screen with a triangle, just hit the menu key and you will be in recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
Besuure the computer has the right drivers installed as well. Not sure where you was getting the info but the wiki for this phone list the correct procedures
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] theAPANT:
Trial and error
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Combat_chuck:
That worked, thanks. But now my data doesn't work with any of the ROM's I've tried (CM10 and slimbean both 4.1.2). and the android keyboard stops working whenever i install gapps.

Any idea why?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
Not that the roms come with data off but did you check to be sure data is enabled. Usually the easiest is the most overlooked.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] rdr4g0n:
I've managed to get into recovery by holding both up and down, holding power till the screen turns on, releasing power, then waiting till I see the recovery menu to release up and down.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Mwas.:
Go to settings, then under wireless and networks select more>> mobile networks... Make sure data option is checked, if not check it and see if that solves your problem

Have you tried different radios, have you attempted to go back to stock fully? Have you checked if its hardware related maybe bad connection @ WiFi antenna? Do you when this started?

[Asus Transformer TF700] *justintime*:
As i found. he original Asus desktop cradle to expensive i have decided to make one my own. Or better assemble of excisting parts.

I ordered a desktop cradle of my former tablet the Tab 10.1 on aliexpress. And an USB cable from Asus.

Opened the box, pulled out the Samsung connector. And removed the plastic housing of the Asus charger connector.

With a little cutting on the old hole of the case. I put in the Asus connector. Glued it with hot glue. Drilled a hole in the back of the case to leave the cable in tact.

And Voila a nice solid desktopcradle. For around $18.

Sorry for the bad pics.....but you have a vision on how it looks..

Good luck on making one of your own.

Here a link of my ordered cradle

[Asus Transformer TF700] rbellis:
I can get a similar stand for the iphone from a store called 5 below. (thay are an east coast store like the dollar store just everything is $5 or less) But I assume I can do the same thing with a stand there and just pop the cable out
[Asus Transformer TF700] *justintime*:
Pfew I don't know. I know this because I still had this stand. What's important is that the place of the connector is not to far away of the back of the cradle. So the back of the tablet can rest to the plastic of the cradle. Otherwise the connector bends under an angle. With this configuration it's perfect. (I hope you all understand)
[Asus Transformer TF700] BlakePHanson:
How this holding up after a few weeks of use? I'm a bit skeptical about the the possibly of bending the connector over time. I can deal with a broken connector on the cable, but I don't want it to damage or stretch the internal 40 pin slot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] *justintime*:
It's still okay. There is not much weight to stress the connector.

Believe me I am very cautious with my equipment. It's working great. Only thing to look out for when placing it that the connector is in the middle of the port. Solution is making a mark which I didn't.

Hi, i can help you with this;)

I will give you some suggestions, of course my post is not a guide, i leave the writing part to you, if you want me to write full answers though im willing to do it, but i guess you want the faq to have your personal touch.

How to root?

There are many ways, some i prefer are by x8toolbox, by flashtool and with superoneclick.

How to unlock bootloader?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254225

How to flash a rom?

Always read the installation instructions of the rom you want to flash.

How to revive my (soft)bricked device?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35338935&postcount=2

What is the best rom/kernel/theme/etc?

Backups, what are they?

Backups are really important especially when you dont want to lose your settings, apps,data...

Why camera pics are better on minicm10 than minicm7?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt. meow:
@up

Probably because of the extra PMEM given to camera in CM10 (I can't tell for sure though).

And @mat

Wouldn't it be better to just merge this thread and lucastan96's other thread together and include new info? I could help with that and it would be far better than having two threads to server the same purpose. Lemme know what you think about it.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matmutant:
i would agree with you, but in fact his thread (and my MiniCM miniFAQs too) is extremely detailed, and hard to read for people that don't know the device or is new to the forum,

the aim of this (and all others) RC-FAQ is to be short, redirecting to where further infos are, and to be standard and looking like any other RC-FAQ for easy reading:

editing an existing FAQ to get it in the "new recommended way" is really hard, and setting up a new one is easier

this new FAQ should look like these :

galaxy mini

Xperia play

...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt. meow:
Cool. So let's try this.

You keep the FAQ short, while I keep mine a bit more detailed.

Users can ask questions in my thread or yours.

Your opinion on this will be appreciated.

My thread = Lucastan96's thread because he won't be around as frequently as before.

sgt. meow
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matmutant:
right,

i'll write at top of the post to refer to your FAQ for more precises info, this one is not meant to be precise, just to guide users :)

users should better ask in your FAQ for general Q, or in the MiniCM dedicated FAQs (for Q related to theses roms)

this FAQ is not a place for people to ask (in the way the RC-FAQs have been imagined)

the aim was to create a short RC-FAQ, and that each dev make one dedicated to their own roms :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stamatis:
Why did you add the answers exactly from my post?:p

You can add this as well.I think a good place is below the "How to root".

What about recovery?

In order to install your first rom you will need cwm. If you unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel cwm recovery is included so you dont need to do anything, if you can't unlock your bootloader that means you are on stock kernel and you have to install it. Some ways to do it is by x8toolbox, manualy, by flashtool(?), by the app(?) (im not 100% sure about the last two as i have never used them but i think some users have reffered that they work)

You may have seen the the name xrecovery, this is an old and outdated recovery. Most roms need cwm and not xrecovery, you can always check the installation instructions of the rom that you want to install.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matmutant:
because i was too lazy to complete them :p

and the answers need to be shorter as possible, and if needed redirecting to sgt. meow's FAQ/guide :) or MiniCM miniFAQ
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stamatis:
Just thought of another one:p

What is the right baseband number?

You can check your baseband number at settings>about phone.

In order to install a custom rom you MUST have the baseband ending with 015. If you don't have it then you can update with pccompanion or flashtool by flashing the generic stock ftf for 2.1 eclair.

I dont know about x10mini.....

It's not bricked. Hold down power and the volume down button until your phone shuts off. Then release ONLY the power button.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigj231:
Did it come with a safe recovery, or is it stock? The ODIN OC files found in the Android Development section (the ones by Team Sextape) are easiest. Jut backup your stuff and get the restore versions. I've seen too many problems with the NoData ones.

EDIT: you can just use the on-device recovery if you're going to update your ROM, or go between AOSP ROMs. I still recommend the ODIN OC files for flashing stock ROMS though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
You're on a custom Jb rom, that causes problems, that's why you stick to stock/rooted Jb. It runs smooth and everything works.

Source has not been realised, so for now you go with stock/rooted builds of Jb. :D
