Hello XDA,

I'm going to show you how I rooted my Hipstreet Flare and install Google Play (Working).

Before I start, I'd like to say I wanted to post this because there seems to be no one thread on the forums that shows how to accomplish this. Also to boot I'm running Windows 8 so it was an interesting challenge to get everything running.

About the device... like I saw out on the forums I'd like to say it's true the device comes to you pre-rooted (Sorta). I can't really explain it it's root but not anyways were going to fix that here.

Required prior to start:

ADB Drivers (Install WalkThough)

ADB Software (Search XDA)

SU-Busybox-Installer (Bottom Attached)

Google Play (Download Here)

List of things to do:

Install Windows ADB Drivers (Google ADB Drivers didn't/don't work.) I believe if you are runnign linux I think you can skip this and continue on...

Root the device using ADB with SU-Busybox-Installer

Download recent Google Play (3.10.14)

ADB Drivers

Install Samsung USB Drivers for Samsung i727 (Skyrocket ADB Drivers

Reboot (I had to when I first installed them long ago.)

Open Device Manager

Under "Other Devices" right click "Android"

Click "Update Driver"

Click Browse Computer, Click "Select from a List"/"Pick from a List"

Select the first on the list for "SAMSUNG Android ADB interface" under the "ADB Interface" category.

Install... any warning just say continue anyways.

Now use using adb run this command "adb devices" should be there. Make sure its working by the command "adb shell" you should get a "#" on the next line and if you type "ls" you should get a list of the root directory.

Thanks to iToasterman for this next part...

Extract SU-Busybox-Installer files to adb folder and run the following commands.

adb push Superuser.apk /system/app

adb push busybox /system/xbin

adb push su /system/xbin

adb shell chmod 664 /system/app/Superuser.apk

adb shell chmod 664 /system/xbin/busybox

adb shell chmod 664 /system/xbin/su

adb shell reboot

One reboot you are now rooted. Download Root explorer from the net and it will work. I used it to put google play in the system/app folder and it worked just fine but I'm going to show you how to do it with adb for simplicity.

Download google play from the link above.

Place file in adb folder, run the following command.

adb push com.android.vending-3.10.14.apk /system/app

adb shell chmod 664 /system/app/com.android.vending-3.10.14.apk

adb shell reboot

Note: Because I upload the apk and moved it with root explorer I didn't run the chmod command and it still worked, shouldn't matter either way.

Just so you know if there is app you can't get download because of (capability issues) but the specs say it should work there are tweaks out there that can let you download still just search the XDA forums and you'll find it.

How much is this vinyl skin and how much is the transport to Europe?

Thanks
[Nexus 10 Accessories] lKBZl:
I think the overall was 27$ when I bought it. I paid about 18€.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] devilson-13:
thanks IKBZI. that's pretty expensive...because of the transport costs. i'll try to find/make something locally.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] newellj79:
How does this adhere to the tablet. I may be interested in getting one too. Pretty sweet.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Espaa Valorum:
Pretty cool :good:
[Nexus 10 Accessories] lKBZl:
It's kinda weird. It has some kind of glue, which makes the skin able to be removed and added again. I don't know how to call it, but I liked it, since it's really easy to put or to take off. I recommend it if you liked it.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] ThugosaurusRex:
That looks so awesome, I'm jealous.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] DizoAZ:
Did a quick Google search and it looks like there's a place online who makes some, nothing to the extent of the custom vinyl though.

If anyone else has a site that has better one's please post them, this is a great idea with how easily the back gets scratched due to the material.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] knoxploration:
You'll be lucky if that lasts a week. Note even at the end of his video the corners of the back piece are already wrinkling back up. The side pieces are a complete waste of time; there is so little contact area they'll peel straight back off the first time you touch them.

The only bit that will stay in place is on the glass, which needs no protection anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SIXINONEDAY:
Has anyone else come across this issue?

~I had my phone on charge last night and when I woke after charging for about 9 hours I saw that the battery had not charged. When I tried my car charger it also failed to charge. I tried two more ways to charge with no luck and then plugged it into PC and it won't recognize it. I am on X9 with Perseus Kernel. I went ahead and flashed the new updated rom and also flashed Perseus again, both twice with no luck. Does anyone on here have any suggestions? My battery is dead and now Odin is not an option.

~I Wiped Data, Factory Reset (CWM) Wiped System (Format System) Flashed Rom, Wiped Cache/Dalvik, Booted, Waited 12 minutes, Rebooted, and reset battery stats just in case you are wondering.

Thanks in advance!

I'm assuming you've tried different microUSB cables right?

Did you try executing it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] koreancanuck:
I saw in another thread that the op there said it was apparently a common problem among Note 2's. My suggestion is take it back to where you bought it and report the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bolm86:
I just went through this last week. It's a huge hassle but I just kept trying different chargers and cords and wiggling them to try to get a connection. Eventually it connected. I then had to get back to stock and called att for a warranty replacement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] JGoN86:
What Rom are you on?

I switched roms and that exact problem has never happened again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] erick161:
I think the port itself is faulty. Me and my partners note does the same thing. It will fail to charge sometimes, go from charging to not, etc. If you wiggle the usb cable it helps sometimes (or hurts it)...but you should never have to do that.

Def a problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] monsruzo:
no charging

do you use the phone while it is plugged in a lot in the past. hitting the cable and spot where the connection is made on the phone could damage the connection on the inside of the phone. i have seen that as a common killer of laptops, folks use them while plugged in and accidentally hit the end connection at the spot where it connects to the device. i would try to have the carrier service center fix it for you under warranty.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
Agreed, this smells hardware related and I've seen it first hand with both the note and note 2. I'd be taking it back to where I bought it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Negan:
I had a problem similar and it was apparently caused by the male end of the charging cable getting wet or a buy of moisture in it. It fried the female end on my phone. I had to replace the port on my phone today at a phone repair shop. Its possible thst the same happened tobyou guys without you evem knowing it. Its more common then people think as it doesn't just short circuit your phone

Sometimes it starts to take longer to charge and sometimes it just stops altogether. But dependong on hownclever your service provider is they may or may not catch that. It cost me $65 to get it done. Whorth it to me to avoid the hassle

Hey guys.

Basically I wanna flash a stock Samsung ROM using mobile ODIN. I have the .tar.md5 file

So i then hit flash firmware

It just rebooted and nothing has changed? Help!

Thanks oli

No I didn't try to select the wipe option because I didn't think it needed it

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitch xyx:
Today i rooted my droid razr hd using matt groffs Droid razr hd utility belt. I successfully sent it back to ICS and rooted it. I downloaded the voodoo root keeper and updated the binaries on superuser. When i go to update the phone through system update to get it back on jb a popup comes and says....info an unexpected error has occured. Please try again later. Any help?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orcsbane13:
I'm having the exact same issue. I even fast booted again and tried updating to 0.7.2 before rooting. No dice.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stooley:
Mine is too. Maybe something is up with the update server????
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RRRRyan:
Ditto here too, spent half the day trying to figure this out. I noticed some DNS errors coming from the phone while doing the update. Maybe they have figured out a way to block the 0.7.2. update for just us? Anyone know of a way to load just the 6 meg update to the phone manually and force the update?

Some behaviors I've noticed:

1. erase data 4G only get error mentioned above: "Please try again later"

2. turn on wifi (and 4G off) get no message but no update.

3. turn off wifi and "download suspended" appears (and never changes)

4. reboot to 4G only, get "An unexpected error has occured. Please try again later."

Stuck.

UPDATE:

My router shows a request to ws-cloud434-blur.svcmot.com from my phone. If I change my DNS to OpenDNS (hijackers) and try to update I see references to the "website not found" garbage that OpenDNS injects. Unfortunately I dismantled my squid setup so I can't see the exact url that is being attempted only the DNS error when OpenDNS injects it. I'm tempted to bring squid up just so I can figure out what is actually being requested on the update server.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stooley:
Yea I can update to the latest via the computer, but then I cannot restore root so guess I will be waiting. I piicked a great time to do this ha ha.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RRRRyan:
How did you "via the computer"?

BTW, I did throw squid back in the full urls:

h t t p://ws-cloud434-blur.svcmot.com/blur-services-1.0/ws/upgrade/2/check_for_upgrade/(hex/dec numbers)

h t t p://ws-cloud434-blur.svcmot.com/blur-services-1.0/ws/upgrade/1/report_upgrade_status/(hex/dec numbers)

Both are POSTS and both return "file not found" when I try them from the browser.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stooley:
Using the Motorola Device Manager. There is an option to update device. But it goes straight from the original ICS to Latest JB. Was not able to get root back afterwards. Voodoo did not even give the option. Tried the RestoreRoot script as well without success.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RRRRyan:
That's a great try, shame it doesn't let you just install the 0.7.2 update. Did you set Voodoo to temp un-root during the update?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stooley:
Yes. Temp Unroot then flashed with Device Manager. Went to Voodoo and SuperUser had to be reinstalled. Did that, still did not give me an option to re-root.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardentsilent:
But... I think it did. I just updated two devices using the Device Update tool. This is from memory but...

1) Connect, right click your taskbar and click check for updates.

2) It will say there is a 6MB download available to go to 0.7.2, accept it.

3) Updater downloads it, reboots your phone, applies it, etc.

4) Once fully booted, it prompts again, there's a new update available.

[do your rooting here]

5) Accept this update. It will download now a much larger file (200+ MB if i recall) to get you to the latest version

6) It reboots, applies the update, reboots, etc.

Unfortunately, I was too eager to get on the latest and greatest ROM before dropping by, so I did it from a vanilla new-phone upgrade. I did not root the device.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrhodes:
I've been hardbricked for like 2 months now and there was no solution back then is there one now?

I have no NVflash

I can only access apx mode.

No rom

No recovery
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
Without nvflash the only choices are fastboot, adb, or recovery - stock, cwm, or twrp. APX is useless without nvflash.

Stock recovery would be accessed from the bootloader menu RCK, same for cwm and twrp, fastboot from the usb symbol on the bootloader menu.

If you are having trouble getting into the bootloader/recovery menu see the link in my signature.

How did your tablet get to this point?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] theweekender:
So about 6 months ago after I got my razr and it had updated to ICS i put a custom rom onto it and had my fun.

I now want to mess around with it again and update to a more stable rom that has all the issues fixed as mine did not and im still running safestrap 2.0

I was told i needed to revert back to stock so first I tried this http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/324-how-to-unbrick-your-razr/

After doing this my phone only booted straight to AP fastboot screen and and said flash failed. along with

"invalid CG otv (CG: system): Invalid SP data invalid cg version (CG: system) invalid"

So i found this utility http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1814167

. I followed all the Directions Correctly but it always stops the Flash at 6/18 .. and some Error stops the the process and Says Fail..Step 6/18 is cdt.bin flashing. The only people i found having these problems are either GSM or xt910 and shouldn't have been using that utility in the first place.

now my phone is stuck on the AP fastboot flash mode screen and wont do anything else.

I really dont want to turn on my old samsung charge as the battery is shot. so can someone help me fix this razr?

EDIT: also tried using this with RSD lite 5.7 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362956
