Hi,

I've been reading through xda-developers.com site and it states that I have to use serial cable for all updates and USB will not work. Now inside teh newsgroup I've read that some people used cradle and USB connections for updates. Can somebody clarify please.

Also I have just USB cable (no cradle), is it important for updates if it can be done via USB?

Greg
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] sheran_g:
You only need a serial cable if you plan to use the XDA Manipulator to make modifications to your XDA.

If you plan to do regular ROM upgrades using the Upgrade Utility, then a USB cable will do fine.

Having a cradle is not mandatory. If your ActiveSync connection works with the cable, then your upgrades will work as well. I have done several upgrades using a regular USB cable and not the cradle and they have worked fine.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] artisticcheese:
Thanks,

I'm not sure what you were refering to as XDAManipulator. All I want to do is to download configured ROM from Jeff's kitchen and update my device. I'll be able to do it through USB, right?

Thanks again,

G
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] sheran_g:
Yes you will.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] artisticcheese:
Thanks,

Last question (I hope) ;-)

After Jeff's update will I be able to flash back to T-Mobile original ROM in case I'd need warranty or something?

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] sheran_g:
I've had some issues in this department. I originally had PPC2002. I flashed to WM2003 using the SD Card method. I then wanted to downgrade to PPC2002 and I tried it using the Upgrade Utility way (USB and executable file) but this method failed. I was, however, successful in reflashing to PPC2002 using the SD Card method.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] artisticcheese:
Any links about how you do all that stuff with "SD card method". I don't have SD yet but I'll soon get one but I have limited knowledge of the process.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] partyk1d24:
Hello everyone,

I just recently bought a TF300TL on the AT&T network and I wanted to upgrade to the newest firmware. However, the OTA update doesn't recognize an available update, and when I extract the firmware to a SDcard (as suggested here... http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF201/e7203_TF201_Update_SOP.pdf), it doesn't give me the exclamation icon.

As a follow up are there any roms that support the LTE radio in the TL?

Anyone able to help?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1chy:
Did you download this file?

You have to unzip only once and place the zip in the internal SD and wait for 2-5 mins. Then the update notification will pop up. (never done this before, just from reading in forums, others feel free to correct me).

As far as i remember there are no ROMS for TL. untermensch's kernel along with CM10 was reported working, but the development is halted. Please check out this thread before deciding.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] partyk1d24:

Hi,

Did you make a nandroid backup before you started.

If so,restore it .

If not,why not?

Follow the thread to get 4EXT recovery on your phone ,and using "Smartflash" to get custom ROMS onto your phone.

Use fastboot usb and try flashing boot.img over adb. It worked for me :)

i have a similar problem. cm10 will install it all goose good until you get to the setup part then it reboots. everytime.almost like a bootloop. i have s-off. unlocked bootloader,supercid. but my hboot is 1.17.0008. i went thru revolutionary do i need to update my hboot and do the hole root over useing jb? the onlything i can think of.........any ideas???
[HTC Sensation] AndroidSupporter318:
Yes, firmware 1.17 will ALWAYS cause reboots on android 4.x. Update your firmware (probably to 3.33)

Look here for details: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21711154

Follow all instructions to update firmware. You basically put the file on your SD card and boot to bootloader. The bootloader should update the firmware from there.

[One (M7) General] TeamDraven:
Hey dudes.

I love HTC, even through some issues I had with my DHD.

I'm now rocking the One X, not had ANY issue with it.

Samsung just doesn't excite.

But HTC doesn't have the big $$$ that Sammy spend on Advertising.

The One IS a better phone overall, but a better phone does not mean it will outsell the PR machine of Sammy.

So Android Police have placed up a poll, HTC One or SGS3s (I know, I'm being mean).

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/03/17/weekend-poll-htc-one-or-galaxy-s4/

Let's whoop these Sammys.

Greg.
[One (M7) General] romitkin:
I have been spending so much hours lately thinking about this question. There are so many things I like about the One, and so many things I like about the S4 (and no, I don't have any preference to any company in general).

I wish to make this decision as soon as possible, because I feel so obsessed about this.
[One (M7) General] NiCk.JaY:
This thread will be closed in a few moments, thank you ladies and gentlemen for your kind cooperation :) ;)
[One (M7) General] TeamDraven:
What I like about the Sammy is the dual camera videos and the play share feature. That's it.

Play share will only work with other SGS4s iirc so that's of limited real world use and they're may be an app available soon that will allow the dual camera pics and video, so problem solved.

What I like about the One is EVERYTHING.

Peace.
[One (M7) General] BarryH_GEG:
It's not even about money. This is from Google Trends which gauges fluctuations in search hits based on key words over time. Neither HTC nor Samsung advertised their device launches as they were media (vs. consumer) events so interest was based on word of mouth and what people found online. The one bright spot is that the ochre colored line in the first chart is the Xperia Z/L and HTC's no worse than Sony who has better name recognition and a larger marketing budget. You can throw a party but that doesn't mean people will come. ;)

Here's the iP5 launch.

[Galaxy S 4 General] oneinfour:
When looking at the latest releases from HTC and Samsung this past month, it made me realize that these companies have made it really difficult for Apple to keep up their dominance in the coming years. Many people were blown away, myself included, by the iPhone 4. Fast reliable OS, beautiful screen, sexy industrial design. They have been able to milk that release for about 3 years now, and with the iPhone 5 it is starting to show its age.

But with the phones that have just been announced for 2013, I don't think Apple will ever be able to "wow" anyone with a future iPhone like they did with the iPhone 4. HTC and Samsung already released full HD displays so Apple can't make that revolutionary. NFC and wireless charging have already been introduced by a handful of phones. And Samsung even released a bluetooth game controller for their devices, something that Apple has neglected to do for years with their huge selection of games. And Google Now is much cleaner than Siri imo.

[Galaxy S 4 General] JoJo2211:
You should probably delete that last line. But I agree iPhone was very cool back in the day. It was the ONLY smartphone... really. But now, even no-name chinese manufacturers such as Oppo & ZTE releasing phones that put the iPhone 5 to shame. IMHO, the only way Apple can survive now is to copy Android.. make phones bigger.. reduce the size of the icons, they make the phone look like a TOY! Also add some widgets to make the phone look less 'just full of icons'. If they do that I think they could definitely be back in the game.
[Galaxy S 4 General] alicepattinson:
Apple is great, I like the icons. But I agree with you, they should add some widgets
[Galaxy S 4 General] SKAm69:
Apple products is totally crap compared to the devices within the same price range and even cheaper. It's good that people are starting to realize that. This company is a good example of mass brainwashing.
[Galaxy S 4 General] JoJo2211:
I don't think it's brainwashing. It has more to do with the what they were able to make.. which was a phone that was like no other phone before it. And also it didn't hurt that it had the logo of an American company.
[Galaxy S 4 General] leyvatron:
Apple is currently falling behind with their software. It is very stable and great but I don't think Apple is going to make an extreme change to it. Older people love the fact that it is so easy to use while android peps love the customization.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kremata:
If Android would use the same version for years and never implement new features they also would be very stable. This said, I think since JB came out Android made a giant leap in stability. The problem is not with android, it's with Samsung bloatwares. I do loves some of their features but they are rushing to release to quickly.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Codrea:
you are right dude, now apple's stock price begin to drop to around 400$ (correct me if I am wrong) they have lost their magic when job is gone.

Now It's time for apple to catch android if they don't want to be like nokia or blackberry. but it's apple who want a big profit with minimal effort.

look at blackberry they wait for lost almost all of their market before make big innovation in z10, I think apple better realize they have lost and try to catch android this time.
[Galaxy S 4 General] riz157:
Big android fan but I actually bought Iphone 5 too, why you may ask because of the build quality, it looked and felt quality. Android had nothing like it as far as build quality was concerned but that has changed this year with htc one. What a phone best looking device out there and I think that's not going to change this year.

I really hope htc does well and encourage others like samsung lg to move away from cheap looking plastic.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Arsaw:
Most of your comments seem to emphasised on aluminium vs plastic. I just hope you will be able to live with all the scratches (sooner or later) on aluminium unibody and won't put a case (plastic) on HTC one. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] speedyjay:
And?? Half of the internal components including the rubbish retina display of the iPhone 4s are made by Samsung anyways....
[Galaxy S 4 General] Shan89:
Regarding scratches on HTC One :) , this is black HTC One as you can see, silver should be EVEN better since it doesn't have any color on it. I think HTC One will do just fine regarding scratches.

[Galaxy S 4 General] hell_storm2004:
I would have to agree Apple got far ahead due to their strong marketing strategies.

But you have to say, that they were the one's who revolutionized the cell phone. Android came in much later. But if you say now, yes, Apple has lost its shine a little. But everywhere i go i still see people crazy about that thing. The brand name still packs a punch.

Me being an Android fan, would love to see Android rule. But give credit where its due.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kremata:
Android is slowly getting there, not sure if it's a blessing though. Looking at the amount of new members on XDA lately. A bunch of them don't even know how to put a widget on their screen(which tells me they come from Apple). I think Apple is good for some people. My 80 years old mom needs a non-customizable phone otherwise she'll change everything and won't remember where the dialer is.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hell_storm2004:
Agree. Some people still prefer to keep things simple. I cant imagine my mom customizing Android phones. She will lose track of what to do after a day or two.

But that being said, Android is getting there. But lets face it, competition is the key. I don't want Android to become like Windows of the mobile world. Competition is very important.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kremata:
Absolutely! For some reasons companies are turning into evil empire when they become too big. We need Apple to keep putting pressure on Android. Fortunately, 90% of the population is dum(phone wise), so Apple will still be there for a while. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] hell_storm2004:
Haha... yeah they would. I just hate the people who think owning an iPhone makes them higher beings than others! And believe me, there are many of them. I just don't get down to the details, coz i just don't care to explain!

That is just plain damn silly.
[Galaxy S 4 General] abhinav quietly brilliant:
Some iphone owners even feels themselves to be much more superior then android users but in actual they are only isheeps
[Galaxy S 4 General] riz157:
yes that all chestnut I don't think it actually scratches as easily as plastic on S3. I took really care of my s3 never dropped it but the thing picked up scratches on the back like no one's business. Htc devices have always been more durable and I have no reason to think HTC one is any different.

I bought a GoogleTV box from BestBuy some time ago and soon returned it as it was severely crippled in comparison to the MK808 I ultimately ended up with. After I worked on the Antenna, I am relatively happy with my decision, for the cost.. However:

The Google TV had the coolest feature, and I want something similar

.

If anyone knows of an Android STICK with the 'HDMI INPUT' feature, like the feature which allowed the GoogleTV to overlay a the Android screen over my cable box feed. I'd sure appreciate a heads up.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] player911:
Never heard of that before. What would be the point of this though?

Not sure about the Google TV box specs but maybe it just needed a custom rom to make it more friendly.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] SgtBonko:
It was cool.. you can do a picture in picture kinda thing.. where the Android OS is a transparent overlay. And, this allowed you to keep the android OS in the background aswell, so you would be notified of incomming email and messages and stuff while watching your other hdmi source.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] airdale:
It interacted with the TV guide and search features......I gave my Revue away, its just had way to many limits....
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] strongsad:
That would be extremely valuable to me. The more i looked into it the more it looks like it is not currently possible. To do it android drivers would have to be built for any additional hardware needed then you would need to make that work with an existing media play or develop your own. :(
