[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiquidPlatinum:
I'm wanting to sell my old espresso. I'm thinking I can get more money if I flash the CM10 unofficial port first. I'm having trouble with writing to the recovery partition. I've tried the temporary (update.zip) method for CWM, but whenever I select something suck as "wipe data/factory reset" the screen turns black and then I have to take the battery out. My recovery is the stock 2e recovery. Now, I found a .IMG CWM on a thread from someone with a similar problem, so it might work and it will stick(which are very hard to find for this device), but it requires S-Off. My problem is, I'm scared to S-Off because I can't make a nandroid backup because I don't have a recovery! (One that works). So what I'm scared of, is me attempting to S-Off, messing up (like always, even with a year experience with this kind of stuff :P) and then not being able to boot back into my ROM. Right now I have an unlocked bootloader (1.02.0002) with S-On. Now, I'm looking at options for S-Off, and all I can find is alpharev. Is there any other method..? What method did you guys use? Is there ANY way to boot back into my ROM if I were to mess up? One last thing, if I downgraded my HBoot will it still be unlocked? Can I re-upgrade my HBoot to 1.02 and keep my S-Off in the process? Please explain, I'm used to nexus and Samsung devices, not HTC, so I'm not familiar with the S-On S-Off thing. Thanks guys, I wouldn't know anything if I weren't for XDA, and as always, any responses or answers will be very much appreciated. Again, I'm looking for any method BUT alpharev, but I am willing to use it if no other options.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StodgyWaif:
It seems certain versions of the Clockworkmod Update.zip just turn off the screen when you press the power button. (press it again and it should come back on) You use the action button to select an option instead.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiquidPlatinum:
I found the problem. Apperently the power button doesnt work for selecting things. I used enter on the keypad instead and it worked just fine. You can still write to the recovery partition with root and s-on.

I just unlocked my Nexus 10 on 4.2.2 and when I boot into twrp it asks for a password. The problem is I never set a password for twrp so I have no idea what it could be.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FunkmasterC:
I just hit cancel and it seemed to work.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SayWhat10:
You using the toolkit?

It asked for the password for me,but when i backed out of it (not entering password) trying to factory reset failed on me
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
When you unlock the device you need to do a factory reset, let it boot and then enter the recovery. Otherwise it may have issues mounting the cache partition as well as the password issue.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashirmittal:
Same is happening to me .. any recommendations ?

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SayWhat10:
You have to manually go into recovery and hit factory reset

Turn off phone

Go into bootloader,from there select recovery

Then choose factory reset you good
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadow Assassin:
Fixed for me.

I was switching TWRP versions and got this problem. So all I did was reboot my tablet even though the prompt said I had no OS installed, I rebooted but did so straight back into twrp. and thats on my Asus Tf700. If you didnt originally use fastboot to get it on there, try it. If so, try downloading and using a different fastboot.exe cause one that I had tried once was broken. Hope this helps.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burivuh26:
It didn't help me on my Nexus 5. TWRP asking me about a password and I can't remove it, or flash another recovery or do the factory recet.

I can only boot another recovery like cwm or stok, but I can't mount boot, cace, firmware or USB. Olly system.

It seems there are some problems with bootloader or flash-memory
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
If

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

Does not work than its possible that its hardware but I would do a full format of device first

** Work-In-Progress: Ubuntu Touch Preview is just that.. a PREVIEW. Do not complain about missing features, etc. The OS isn't nearly ready for primetime. **

Curious as to how the Ubuntu Touch Preview looks? Why not load it on your Droid 3 and see for yourself.

Instructions:

1. Make a Titanium Backup and/or backup in recovery of your current Android (or just keep it on a different slot). This preview is fun to play with but not a replacement for something as developed as CM 10.1

2. Download the Droid 3 Mini-Android base for Ubuntu Touch and place it on your device:

[03/01] http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/solana/ubuntu-phablet/ (use the newest one)

3. Download the latest Ubuntu Touch Preview Filesystem .zip from Ubuntu:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/daily-preinstalled/current/quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip

If the above link is broken, use this link for a full listing of the current build files (download the quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip .. soon to be raring-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip):

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/daily-preinstalled/current/

4. Reboot into Safestrap. Create a NEW 2GB ROM in the #4 slot.

IMPORTANT:

4a. Install the quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip FIRST, and then the phablet-2013xxxx.zip SECOND.

5. Reboot and Enjoy

FIRST BOOT TAKES A LONG TIME. AND THERE'S NO BOOT ANIMATION. BE PATIENT (MAYBE 3-4 MINUTES).

WHAT WORKS:

Display

Touch screen

Wifi

Audio

WHAT DOESN'T WORK:

There's so much that is still being implemented into the Touch version of Ubuntu, that this list could get pretty long.

Due to memory issues, the device gets VERY laggy after just a little while of use. This means the swap mem is full. I hope they work on the amount of memory used and how it's freed over time.

Barely any sensors other than touchscreen work. IE: no rotation, etc. Ubuntu WIP issue.

No HD codecs (still being worked on) Ubuntu WIP issue.

No screen timeout / auto blank -- becareful when walking away from the device. Need to press the power button to turn the screen off. Ubuntu WIP issue.

Re: [ROM] Ubuntu Touch Preview [02/28: Alpha Update #1]

Neat. I had to battery pull to get it to boot, bootlooped until I did. It feels like unity, for my phone. It'll be interesting to see how it performs on our device when it's complete
[Motorola Droid 3] FrankieDedo:
Fine!, downloading and booting in moments! i was wondering about this in the forums, some days ago! Hash, you're the best! ;)

Glad to see an alternative for our devices...who knows...maybe this could lead to a fully functional rom...

EDIT: Sadly, it doesn't boot at all...same issues as latest CM10.1, but after a while of black lit screen, the phone turns off...trying later something else
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Re: [ROM] Ubuntu Touch Preview [02/28: Alpha Update #1]

I had the same until I battery pulled
[Motorola Droid 3] djbolden:
Looks pretty cool. I think I could get used to that interface pretty quickly. I did have a little trouble getting back into SafeStrap to boot into the stock ROM (or CM10.1 in slot1).

I used both the power button and battery pull to restart, I got the SafeStrap menu, chose boot to recovery, and in a few minutes I get the Ubuntu screen back. I finally got into SafeStrap by holding VolUp & VolDown while powering on and choosing BP Tools (bottom option).
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
I'll have to go back through the flash process and test a few things. Sorry that it's messing w/ some of your devices.
[Motorola Droid 3] deviousmrtaco:
3/1/13 Build worked fine for me but I do have one of the older CPU's since all the kexec builds have worked for me, first boot time was only like 20 seconds and it still worked pretty quickly (but I only used it for about 10 minutes), seeing something different was refreshing and it took me about a minute to realize there was no lockscreen, most definitely a developer preview but it looks promising.Thanks Hashcode for the preview build and all the work you do, I'll keep testing them when they come out.

oh yeah the safestrap problem persisted for me as well had to hold the volume buttons to get back to Rom selection. No biggie
[Motorola Droid 3] taksan:
Hi

I tried phablet-20130301-cm_solana.zip and it worked better than I expected, I could even make calls.

The experience is quite nice and it seems Ubuntu Phone OS is very promising!

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
Are you on GSM?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I didn't even try calling. I didn't expect it to work
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
Right now phone function is only implemented for GSM. The GSM RAZR has working voice calls. I didnt think D3 would work either :) but in theory it could.

(I occasionally activate a 3g SIM for testing, but didnt for the preview.)
[Motorola Droid 3] djbolden:
I tried dialing one call to one of our office lines while I was booted into Ubuntu . It dialed and rang ok but I couldn't hear the receptionist when she answered and she couldn't hear me.
[Motorola Droid 3] taksan:
Yes, I'm on GSM. I didn't expect it to work either, but I just thought I'd try.

The problem is that it usually doesn't boot and keeps "boot looping". The first time I pulled the battery and it worked, but now it is not working anymore.

I'm trying a reinstallation.

Even though it is quite crude, it worked better than CM10 (the droid 3 version), because the CM10 phone service crashed on start and I couldn't make

calls and neither connect to WiFi
[Motorola Droid 3] taksan:
I got it working once again, but after a while it froze. I tried rebooting the phone and it isn't booting anymore.
[Motorola Droid 3] FrankieDedo:
Ok, booted and tried, it works really well for an early alpha, who knows...this could be the base for a fully functional rom? :) i'm a dreamer...

Anyway i'm on GSM and calls are lagging of 1-2 rings, and voice seems to be broken, anyway, good work! as usual ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] calash:
Very nice! Works great for being so new. Could not do much as it would not connect to my work WiFi but expected with such an early build. Looking forward to future updates.

Being based on the CM kernel is it safe to assume we will not see any camera function for this unless it first gets worked out in the CM 10 builds?
[Motorola Droid 3] stretchnz:
thanks yet again Hash !

Installed as per the first post.

First boot - no longer than one min I reckon.

Wifi works, got on to FB with browser and even posted :)

Today showing work mate, dialled his number (without any hint of cell network / settings) and to my amazement not only did it dial, upon answering we could hear each other fine, maybe a tad lagged half a second or so but honestly worked fine!!

May have imagined things but it also appeared to get faster again after 5-10mins of being powered on, reboots no issue.

Just no idea how to power off correctly lol, seems like holding power button puts it in sleep (saw today image very dark but certainly there), then could not wake (happened yesterday also the can not wake part), so I just battery pull, again reboots no issue :)

Cheers
[Motorola Droid 3] leerpsp:
Ok man im trying to install this on my droid 3 to see how it works and then i was going to try and port ubuntu to the k1 tablet but on part 3 when installing it it will get almost done and by then my phone is very hot as well and any way it will get almost done installing and the phone will go black and i will have to pull the battery to even get the phone to do any thing so im asking what am i not doing right? I will like to get this booted on the droid 3 to get a fill of how this works befor i port to the k1 tablet.

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

I got it installed i had to install in slot 2 not 4 to get it all the way installed i dont know y this matters but o will any way i tested it in the other slots and it will not work in them ony 2
[Motorola Droid 3] Munckster:
Just got it from Ubuntu:

Known Issues

Power Consumption

Currently the devices can not be shutdown from within the UI or by pressing the power button. Even if you use the power button long press your battery will be drained.

To shutdown a device completely there are two options:

Remove the battery and replace it. (Not an option if battery is not removable)

Stop it from the adb shell by executing the following commands:

adb root

adb shell reboot -p

Memory Usage

Memory usage has not yet been optimized for the devices. It is possible to experience application crashes due to having too many applications open at the same time. A workaround is to close apps that are not being used.

Timezone

The timezone needs to be manually set from the command line. Valid values for timezones can be found in the /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab file. Run the following commands ( specifying your own time zone choice ) with root permission to set your timezone:

Access your device through SSH

Then on the terminal connected to your device run:

echo "America/New_York" | sudo tee -a /etc/timezone

sudo dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata

Networking

The Developer Preview has support for Wi-Fi networking via the new network indicator, which supports basic Wi-Fi connections (Open, WEP and WPA Personal). It is possible to configure more advanced settings, however at this time this requires working directly with Network Manager system connection files.

The following network features are not yet included in the Developer Preview:

Airplane Mode/Wi-Fi Power Control

Advanced Settings (e.g. Hidden SSIDs, Manual IP, VPN…)

Bluetooth

Hot Spot/Tethering

Telephony

The Developer Preview currently only supports limited voice and SMS over GSM.

The following Radio technologies are not yet included in the Developer Preview:

CDMA

LTE

Airplane Mode

Settings ( eg. APN choice, 2G only, … )

Mobile data is not supported, data is available via Wi-Fi only.

These Call features are not yet supported:

Emergency Call Support ( ie. ability to dial emergency numbers without a valid SIM card ).

PIN/PUK support for locked SIMs

No SIM filesystem support

Speakerphone

These SMS features are not yet implemented:

MMS

Send error handling

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoogo:
Looking for ideas here. I have been searching around and not coming up with anything that is working..

I need to get a camera mounted to the rear of a commercial vehicle and be able to take a picture from this camera with a third party data collection program. Does anyone out there know how to get a tablet to allow this? The camera that is currently mounted and working (just not with our new tablet based hardware) has it's own power source but I still get the "high powered device..cannot connect" error when I try and connect it to the tablet.

I am open to any suggestions.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FluffyMittens:
The easiest way it to probably have an ip camera with those functionalities and use an ip camera program. While your tab is the hotspot.

Something else to try is to get a powered usb hub in the loop and see if that will supply the usb power needed. The same thing happens when you plug an external hard drive into a keyboard usb port.

If you search "Jelly Bean Animations on my SGS3" on youtube there's a 31 second video of what I'm talking about. The animation I'm talking about should happen at about 0:08. (Sorry can't post link)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] R1K05@N:
So launcher animations... try out Nova... it gives you some options like JB and ICS. Also, it looked like CM on that video. Up to you if it's that important to you to try out CM. Before that though, try Nova... the only thing I lose when I'm on Nova is the SPen app pop up when I unsheath the spen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ohmagadia:
It's not the launcher, I have Apex and selected jelly bean animations. I'm pretty sure launchers only change when you open apps, not in-app animations.

Hello,

I'm not famous on long words.

And I like to keep it short this time.

Please don't crap in questions that new or even long stayers ask.

It stumps there freedom of asking questions here on XDA.

There are xda rules, but it should not be your reason to piss or crap on the question.

There are good ways to tell mods what is going on.

I think question are always repeated and the askers know it sometimes, and will love XDA more if they get a answer that doesn't sound like a grandmother telling the rulles.

I can be wrong....... But xda is build also by new people.
[About XDA developers] Pennycake:
People won't be "crapped on" if they do some elementary research, ask nicely, and read the rules.

I had to ask a very basic question on here, myself - but I explained what I had done to try to find the answer myself and such.

If the question is just something I could Google without knowing anything about the topic, I think it's reasonable to expect people to do that much themselves. This is a development-focused forum after all.

And since this is a development-focused forum, people who ask for copyrighted material for free are "crapping on" the people here who need to feed the or families from their work. :/

Questions ?

I really am new at this and only got interested when I purchased my Gnex on release date from Verizion. I've always been semi tech savy and wanted to learn as much as possible about Android phones. I consider mysef a search engine and will hunt until I find the answer on the internet. I have read MANY fourms on this subject looking for the answers I need and 99.9% of the time have found the answer. The problem I see with many fourms is after the first 3 maybe 4 responses to someones question it starts to go WAY off what the question was about. There have been a few times Before my search starts I've thought maybe I should post the question but I do realize that many here and on other Android sites are way way smarter than I am and probably don't want to see another noob question. Noobs are here and I guess always will be and I'm proud to have learned as much as I have from sites like yours.

This isn't the easiest stuff to pick up. You all just keep posting and I'll keep learning. Thanks Guys

BTW Thanks to Wugfresh my Gnex was a breeze. My first Android phone the orginal Dinc took me into a world I never thought I could enter. HTC unlocked, rooted and ICS. Who'd have thought ICS on a Dinc? I love it!
