Does USB debugging on have anything to do with it?

Thanks

Well that didn't work either. Going to uninstall the supersu app, an unfreeze some apps that were frozen. If that don't work, then I don't know after that

[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:
Ya you need to have absolutely everything unfrozen before updating. Backup root with voodoo ota root keeper, temp unroot, then update.

Doesn't get much easier. What you can do since you're on .211 you can fastboot with matte tools to ensure absolute stock, root again, back it up and attempt it again

Same boat...happened twice yesterday. Gets 1/2 way through the install and the android guy falls on his back with an exclamation point and the update fails.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nnaatthhaannx2:
I just got the message that the update is ready to be installed on my phone too. Because I am rooted, I am hesitant to try anything before I know that my root will be kept.

I did read here that you should keep the phone rooted and not temp. unroot it for the update, but that was based off the December update.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:
You can use voodoo and temp unroot then restore it. Even if that doesn't work there is a root method that works for jb

So what happens when you install it (the Kindle app), does it work?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bamaredwingsfan:
nope, same error. Im guessing that im going to have to do a system restore.

I had removed a few apps with Titanium backup, and evidently you have to have them all present to do upgrade.:(

[Motorola Droid RAZR] nnaatthhaannx2:
It's fine. Just gave you a thanks.

Well I defrosted everything and then temp. unrooted.

I it just went normally, with that blue prism thing, then it switched over to the other one. I don't remember it saying anything.

I do know that I have made some small mods, like minfree and that kind of thing, would that be a problem?

If I factory reset and then update and then root, will I still have 100% of my data if I back it up? I think that will be the better option at this point in time for me.

Oh, and also, I have this app called Razr ICS Bootstrapper. I remember reading somewhere that you should uninstall an app called safestrap or something like that... could that be my problem?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:
Yes that can cause it to fail. You can't have any kind of custom recovery installed when you try updating.

Same issue with Slacker Radio

I've got the same issue with Slacker Radio. I removed it with Titanium Backup and now need to find the version from the Xmas build to put back in.

nnaatthhaannx2:

if you can pull the slackerradio.apk from your system\app folder I'd love to have it and try loading into mine and seeing if I can get past the error. Or if anyone knows of a way to flash back to ICS, that would be great. Then I can just take the full update.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nnaatthhaannx2:
Well the Slacker Radio app that I have is just the same one that they have in the play store.

Anyways, here it is: link removed

Update on my rooting problems. I finally managed to get the phone updated and retain root :) I had to use the DroidRazr Utility 1.82 an restore ICS on my phone. I had removed too many apps to try an replace them. I then rerooted the ICS download, and then I did the JB update, and restored root with the voodoo app.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nnaatthhaannx2:
So the ICS update should work just fine to retain root?

Interesting.

I think I'm having the same problem as the OP. I've just messed with way too many things.

Were you able to keep all of your data with the update? Were there any problems with the backup? I really don't want to spend $7 just to backup and update my phone once :/.

also, would build.prop tweaks and things like that have any effect on this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bamaredwingsfan:
I also managed to keep data. I only wiped cache.

i also removed slacker radio with titanium. I can see from the error in recovery that its the .apk and hash for it. can anyone PM me or send over the file?

also do i just place it back in the /apps? let me know!

/n00b

edit:

i just found my initial backup of TI from 5-12-12. I restored from CWM backup of com.android.slacker something rather. I am waiting on the OTA to download again (i didnt make a copy to SD for some reason). Ill update if this works.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nnaatthhaannx2:
Okay, I got it to work following these steps:

1. Boot into AP fastboot or whatever and use option 1 on the 1.82 Razr Utility.

2. Go through it and just exit when it asks if you want to remove you data.

3. Make sure you have the Voodo app on your phone. I already had it, but you can add it if you don't.

4. Switch on an off root a few times, then leave it temp. unrooted (using the Voodoo app)

5. Go into settings and download and install the update. (takes a long time)

6. Go back and restore root.

I noticed that the phone was much slower at first, but then it sped up.

One problem that I can't figure out: SuperUser isn't working right.

I can only give some apps root access!

Also, the SU app won't update. It tries to gain root access, but then fails!

Update 2: Got a root checker app and another SU app, both failed.

Not good!

EDIT:

Just ran the Jelly Bean Utility, and rooted with the SmartActions exploit.

Lost no data (except what I had in SmartActions) and root is working!!!

I am coming from the acer A100 that has a bad emmc it hard bricked 2 times in a year and a half. From what I can tell there only seams to be soft bricks due to mistakes. Are there any issues with hardware going out on this tablet?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeuscluts:
As per my time of 1 and 1/2 year of tab 2,

It never bricked,

Bricking is all upto you,

How you play with your root, kernel, and rom .

If you flash the rom and kernel which is stable,

Then you will never brick your tab or any phone.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pezmet:
If you know what you are doing or good at following instructions samsung devices at almost unbrickable.

Allways it's better to ask before you flash if you are unsure.

Only way i can think of haveing problems with flashing on samsung is if using swap internal memory with sd card script
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeuscluts:
I prefer never swap sd's memory.

If any thing went wrong then,

Then you are nt with your internal,

As its your external,

And external is bricked,

You are in your vains,

So orefer never swap.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pezmet:
Totally agree.. I never saw the point of swapping internal with sd card.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] max69power:
Thank you that is exactly what I wanted to hear. After spending $350 on the acer and it dieing while using it the flashes went great.

One other question how is the battery life and are there any good car chargers I use my tab to do obd 2 tests on cars and Bluetooth kills battery's.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeuscluts:

I've personally flashed my Tab 2 7.0 (3113) about two dozen times with various and developmental roms and even more various kernels, and I haven't been able to brick it yet. Yes it will softbrick often if you play hard with it like I am, but that's also part of the process. At which point it is easilly recovered. Just set up Clockworkmod Recovery first.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duarte777:

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluecarbon:
The script I use, and that's prevalent for this tab, doesn't swap any of the system files, so there is no issue. I could take my card out and it would boot just fine, just the apps on the card won't run. Using the script on this forum won't brick your tab, as your system it separate from your media.

---------- Post added at 03:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 AM ----------

Actually just to make sure I wasn't completely wrong, I took my card out rebooted and am typing this on my tab,. Personally I love the swap script. But that is my opinion. :)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Alsybub:
Hi,

I thought I'd ask on here to see if anyone knows what to do with this.

Basically I had to RMA my prime back in September 2012. To cut a long story short the repair centre essentially damaged my prime and it has been back and forth for that reason ever since. They've never repaired it.

Fast forward to now and they currently have it in hand for the six or seventh time and they've turned round and said the warranty has expired and so they don't have to do anything.

My question is this: If the issue arose within the warranty, was caused by them, was reported within the warranty period and they accepted that it was covered, does that not still come under the warranty? Regardless of whether it has lapsed.

I even gave concerns about sending it in again as the warranty was nearly up and they said that the work carried out is covered for 3 months. They now say that isn't the case.

I also pointed out to them that in the early part of 2012 I took them up on their offer of extending the warranty to 18 months in the UK for free. They say they no longer have the list.

Does anyone have any advice. I'm feeling very frustrated right now and they're going to try to charge me for sending it in. I feel conned right now.

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] peterk-1:
If you registered the tfp with Asus then if you go to https://account.asus.com/product_list.aspx?lang=en-us (I'm not sure if that link will give a login screen to "my asus" - you could try this http://support.asus.com/warranty.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=Eee%20Pad%20Transformer%20Prime%20TF201 and login and select "my registered products". If you click on the icon to the right of your tfp (blue circle with pen inside) you should then get a new screen with the words "You have activated warranty extension for this product."

If you are out of luck with that (I can't remember how Asus "issued" the extension to suggest other "evidence") then persuade them to ship it back to you free of charge. Having got it back schedule out the dates that the tfp has been away for repair, why you sent it and what repair was made, supporting if possible with documentation. and then go to the retailer that sold it and as nicely as possible say that you have had to come to them because the manufacturer has failed to repair it and you have been advised to bring it to them because in view of the cost and the age of the item it is not fit for the purpose for which it was sold. Google and read about Sale of Goods Act ( SOGA ) before the visit
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Alsybub:
Thank you for your response. All very useful information.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Alsybub:
I logged in and it does indeed say that the warranty extension is activated.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Alsybub:
You won't believe this.

I emailed them back to say that I've seen the warranty extension is activated. They just emailed me back and very nicely said that if I can prove that it says that they will happily escalate my case.

I just logged in again and it now says I don't have an active extended warranty!

Lucky I took a screen print.

I smell a court case.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] peterk-1:
And guess what my machine now says "Enable warranty extension". I hope this is a transient error!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] llothar:
You can always use the Statutory Warranty that is at least 2 years across the EU/EEA (I understand you bought the tablet in UK). Remember that it is the Vendor that sold you the tablet is responsible for repairs in this case, not Manufacturer. This applies only if you bought it as an individual, not a company.

I have been running CM7 for a while and I am fairly happy with it. I seem to like the basic function over what I have see on other people's phones with either ICS or JB. So I want to ask what advantages or better functions would make me want to upgrade? Maybe better device support? I do notice that my wifi drops off a lot but I also have friend's with the SIII stock and they have the same issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] me_is_rushin:
ICS

>BETTER APP SUPPORT

>Face unlock

>Easier Folder management

>Better widget/app drawer

>Pinch-to-zoom functionality in the calendar

>Integrated screenshot capture

>Better voice integration and continuous, real-time speech to text dictation

>Better Contacts app

>Chrome syncing

>Built-in photo editor

>ANDROID BEAM!

>others....plus these are stock features. A custom rom will further improve things.

JB

>EVEN BETTER APP SUPPORT!!!

>BUTTERY SMOOTHNESS

>GOOGLE Now

>Expandable notifications

>Photosphere

>Gesture keyboard

>Lock screen widgets

These are just the main bullet points IMO there is no reason to stick with an old outdated OS. I used CM7 until ICS came out officially for our device. CM7 is based off GB which first came out in 2010! If you're wary of custom roms at least update officially and enjoy the most of android.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thatdavekid:
If your into flashing roms there are many stable ones running Google Now on ICS 4.0.4 if you are just looking for updated google apps. JB isn't officially out for out phones yet so the devs have done a good job of porting roms so we can use JB if you want to. I would check the threads on JB roms and decide which is best for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] heebs_heebs:

do we also wipe system before installing roms?

or just cache and dlv
[HTC One S] tominozh:
If you want the new rom to run without any issue wipe everything. I always do wipe cache, dalvik, data, system. Do it a few times, even reboot recovery between. I always do and never have any issue.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
I do factory reset then wipe system then flash rom and has work every time.
[HTC One S] real187:
When changing type roms, Like sense to aosp . wipe evrything.

When flashing update or newer version of same ROM , you can dirty flash. Saves you setting up the whole device over again. Just wipe cache and dalvik.

Always check advice if wipe is needed.

Wiping the same things multiple times over is just for your own mindset. Once is normaly enough.

[HTC One S] dcaples002:
I wipe everything 3X. I don't like dirty flashing because if you encounter a bug you won't know if it's due to the rom or you dirty flashing.
[HTC One S] kasuma_asuma:
Thank you for this!
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
I only wipe system and both cache partitions when flashing an updated version of a ROM. If I am flashing a completely different ROM, I wipe data as well. There is no point is wiping anything multiple times.

So just to make things clear here. It is safe to wipe everythinggggg? Also when backing up before rooting or flashing a new ROM where exactly does the back stores? I tried restoring it and i couldn't find its location :fingers-crossed:
