Copy ROOT_Core4_supersu.zip in attachment to SD card

Go to setting in Restore and backup GO TO RECOVERY

now falsh by selecting "- Apply update from external storage"

Find the file you copied before and accepted.

This installs the application patch SuperSU 1.04

When finished do the two wipes "- Wipe data / factory reset" and "- Wipe cache partition"

Reboot the system "- Reboot system now" . When you restart the tablet and configure language, you will find that you have root access. Tested on my tablet.

Relax guys. I need a bit of advice from you experts around. Onda unfortunately isn't available in my country and they say it's not being imported anymore due to problems.

So this is where I end up.

I need help choosing Ainol Novo 9 Spark or Ainol Novo 10 Eternal (known as Captain with 2GB ram and 1200x800 display)

I like the Novo 9 Spark but I read it has wifi problems ( which im not sure is hardware or software) and low speaker volume and it's retina display eats a lot of battery, doesn't support all apps and isn't good for 3D gaming.

Where as Eternal (Captain) has no WiFi problems until now (supports 150mbps), a better battery life (11000 Mah) and as its 1200x800 display it is much faster and has a decent volume. But it has a cheap poor performance CPU ATM 7029 and poor GPU GC 1000. As its new it lacks custom roms and stock repacks too ￼..

Which one should I go for?

I'll be buying either one this week.

Just wanted to say a big THANKS to all for this thread, as I managed to root my Ainol Spark with no hassle! Works like a charm now!

Just a question: several launchers are available on Play Store, which one do you advise to install ro replace the original one? Once installed, can I just backup/delete the stock App Launcher?

Thanks again for any help!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Atenaa:
A BIG Thanks!!!!! My Ainol Novo 9 Spark is rooted!!

Fantastic!!

Just a little question: how do I remove the google search bar from home screen? I don't want to uninstall. I just want to remove from home screen.

Thanks!!

Bell Galaxy S3 running stock JB rooted

I went to flash to Cyanogenmod 10.1 Nightly, it failed (Error status 7) so I attempted to reboot. Screen went black and stayed black, I left it for a few minutes, nothing happened then tried a battery pull. Now nothing. When I plug into my computer it makes the connect/disconnect chime but nothing else. If I hold down the power for ~10sec my laptop makes the disconnect chime, then when I release the power button it reconnects to my laptop (not sure if that helps any)

Just to further clarify, I cannot get to the download or recovery mod, screen is blank, no led when plugged in either.

Is it hard bricked?

I am looking at mobiletechvideos.com at their JTAG repair service. Is that my only/best option?

http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-jtag-brick-repair/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
If all you did was try to flash cm10.1 then you are not bricked. You might not be doing the 3 button combo correctly to get back into recovery. Do this...

Pull Battery so power down device and then put it back in.

Hold volume Down, Home, then Power Button.

Release all of them when the 1st screen pops up. It's all about timing here.

That should take you back into recovery so you can just restore the nandroid backup you should've made prior to flashing anything. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mooseknuckles1:
No good, the screen is pure black no matter if I just try to power on, vol up + power + home, or vol down + power + home. Black screen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wiltron:
Pull your battery, leave it out, and then plug it in.. no buttons or anything, it should turn on and see if it gets to the battery charging screen (which should show a lightning bolt only).

If it gets that far, power button and home button until you feel it vibrate, let go and it should boot.. post if it doesn't..

Don't press volume buttons, just home/power combo until it vibes..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mooseknuckles1:
Ok, so I did like you said, pulled battery and plugged the phone in to charge. I now get a solid red LED (this did not happen with the battery in), no lightning bolt though. The red LED turns off after about 2 minutes.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wiltron:
Well, at least the power connector inside isn't busted.. that's a good thing..

with it plugged in, does it turn on like normal? Just regular "boot my phone" mode, no recovery or download?

Try while the LED is on, and if nothing, try it after it goes out.. as I'm not entirely sure what that could mean..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mooseknuckles1:
doesnt turn on at all, still just black screen. I tried the home+power button when the LED goes out, no luck.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wiltron:
Just the power button.. no volume/home buttons..

If all that was done was updating CWM on an already rooted phone, then only your recovery is borked, which is still repairable.. but if you were flashing something else, say CF-AutoRoot or a ROM, then I need to know..

Since you said Error=7, then I can assume you already had a working copy of CWM on it.. correct?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mooseknuckles1:
Ya I already had CWM on it. I was trying to flash Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly (todays release) on to the phone. I had Cyanogen10 on it a while back then switched back to stock firmware. I was curious as to the new JB4.2 so I wanted to try out Cyanogenmod 10.1
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
the OP said in 1st post that he was flashing a rom. never mentioned cwm. the only way to have flashed a rom in the first place and gotten a status 7 would have been in a custom recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wiltron:
reserved
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] upndwn4par:
Any chance you flashed an international ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
exactly.

but what all is actually accomplished before an error message?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mooseknuckles1:
I still have a copy of the zip file on my computer, exact file name is cm-10.1-20130422-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip i cross checked with the Cyanogenmod site it says it is the proper ROM .zip to use
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] upndwn4par:
I am not familiar with the partitions on that device, so I can't say for sure. But all it takes is one file installed in the wrong place and you'd be in trouble. And if that file gets installed in the recovery partition....

Edit:

Yup, that's the right one.

Could be the SGS3 sudden death???
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
i hear ya.

i thought thats why the script was set to check the recovery partition to ensure it was a compatible (up-to-date) platform to install from. i dont understand why it would begin installing and then check. but then, i'm no recovery coder :o
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
What about forcing download mode ? I.e. volume down+home and no battery and then plugging in the usb cord. Then put in battery after its in download mode ?

(IIRC)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mooseknuckles1:
Nope, nothing.

I want to thank everyone for the help and input so far!

There is no one in town here than can unbrick a hard bricked phone, but Toronto is only a 50min drive and there are a few places that will do it (~$70), or I can order one of those jigs online that plug into the microUSB port for about $60. It's looking like I will be going one of those routes.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
um, usb jigs are about $3 on eBay.

i'm assuming you mean send it in for jtag?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
Jig can work for the gs3. They are cheap no matter what. I used them on my cappy.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rani9990:
The GS3 sudden death problem only applies to the international version... Thank god.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
I know they work. I've used one on my s3. He just said it was $60 though. That's what threw me off
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mooseknuckles1:
ya my bad. it was all for JTAG. it looks like the $3 jig won't work for me in any case. the $60 was to send my phone to someone and $70 was to drive to a somewhat local place.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nsilverman15:
I keep having internet connection problems when using web browsers, let me be more specific:

I am running a nightly on Cyanogenmod Official Teamchopsticks 10.1. I don't think the rom really matters. When I try to browse to any page on both Google Chrome, Dolphin and Stock, I get "this webpage is not available" but only sometimes. I can't predict when or when it won't work, but it doesn't seem to work most of the time. What's really odd is internet works in all apps, and I can even search google in the browser or use Google Now, but say I try to go to http://www.google.com, nope, no connection. I have this problem on multiple Wifi Networks and on LTE.

I'm very confused on what this could be, any tips?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nsilverman15:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
weird, is that from a backup or fresh install, I usually suggest fresh but personally use backups unless I encounter problems

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ausman89:
Last week when I tried to root and unlock a gs3 I ran into an issue. When I flashed the VRALEC.bootchain.tar.md5 in the PDA slot in Odin, I hard bricked something. I've never had an issue on a half dozen phones I've done it before to.

I am going to try again on a different phone, but am really kind of worried about what was wrong and about it happening again.

I've checked the md5 and it matches correctly, but re-downloaded the file anyways hoping that may make a difference. The only thing I can see as different is that the new usb cable from samsung has 4 pins on the micro plug instead of 5 like on my original gs3 cable and 5 on my N7 cable. Is that a possible issue? (I thought usb cables could run off 4 or 5 pins, but I'm starting to wonder if that made something mess up in the flash)

Anybody have any thoughts or suggestions before I try again and possible screw things up again?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Zone-MR:
I am trying to make an application which retrieves an estimate of my XDAII's position based on it's Cell ID. I realise getting hold of cellid vs location databases is almost impossible, but I only need something simple for the time being - such as detecting if I am at "home", "uni", "city" (or other locations I can hardcode).

I've searched the forums and found various possible methods, but each seem to have their problems. I've read about RIL_GetCellTowerInfo but apparently it always returns 0x80004001. Opening COM2 and sending AT+CREG? seems to be a messy solution since it conflicts with call setup/cleanup. Is there any more information known at this time? Any sample code?

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bigjodaflo:
I was much aware of the build quality issues experienced in Europe and was wary when picking up my device. It had the tiniest gap in the middle between the top speaker grille and frame so I took it home Friday.By this morning, the gap had run all the way across the top, curved around the top left corner to the bottom of the speaker grille.

It is now big enough that my thumb nail fits.

The grille is no longer flush with the glass due to this and I get "notification bar scratches" all the time.

Took to Sprint in Hou, TX - their display was worse, they unboxed another with same issue. Now in the process of contacting HTC Rep and Area/Regional manager to find me a new phone.

Has anyone else from Sprint noticed build issues that they had in Europe?

(My ports were also jagged {this issue doesnt bother me}, but my corners matched fine until the gap widened)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] TucanMobile:
Got mine from Best Buy in Houston, TX on Saturday. Build date looks like it was April 9, 2013. Build quality looks to be perfect so far. No gaps. Speakers work flawlessly. Haven't seen any gap develop over the last couple days either. My only problem so far is the capacitive home button being finicky.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bigjodaflo:
How do you check the build date? (I did a forum search so dont hate)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mang0:
There's a thread over in the international forum that helps you "decode" that info:

HTC 1ST party repair offered to repair and insinuated that they would just be removing the speakers, repositioning and reglueing (nice word huh?)

Have not heard from Sprint Store manager yet (hasn't even been 24hrs)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] JoeNeckbone:
Unbelievable....great way to keep a customer.....it's obvious that the gap is a manufacture defect and not user related....for a company who has seen better days (putting it lightly) and taking a HUUUUGGGGEEEEE gamble with this phone, I would think they would want to keep the customers they have...word of mouth is either going to save or hurt them really badly....and than throw in the fact that the SG3-S should be coming out on Friday, doesn't make it better for them.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mang0:
Considering the speaker grilles were glued on in the first place, I don't find that particularly surprising.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] JoeNeckbone:
ah, I thought it was the tiny gap in between the metal and white part like I have...can you post pics bigjodaflo?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mang0:
Your gap is between the grille and the body.. not the backplate and the body, right? The former are the only top/bottom gaps that I've seen so far.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bigjodaflo:
Sry to be so late --

I actually felt for the manager at Sprint.

My gaps are between the plastic and speaker grille (I'll take one if the opp comes but my phone is my only high res camera) - When reading forums before launch (US), I read about the "gaps", looked at the pics, etc. and chalked it up as an overreaction on 99% of Units.

But seeing as the gap on mine has gotten consistently worse, I am trying to get mine exchanged.

The Sprint Store manager was really helpful and I can understand her situation. She agreed that the phone should be seamless and my unit replaced. She was actually very nice and helpful compared to her team of idiots that passed my phone around the middle of the show floor poking and prodding and their hands were so DIRTY it was a greaseball when I got it back (If I were a lawyer, I would look into Sprint for unfair hiring practices...every store (1st party in HOU) is 100% African American and Hispanic employees. You cannot get a job their if you are white {I know many who have tried})...every executive in the entire company must be white)

The sales rep who sold me my phone had a bad attitude when I brought it back She also sold me writeright screen protectors (at initial purchase) that only covered 60% of the glass and tried to show me how they fit over the area covering the lcd...yeah the lcd isnt exposed MORON...but I didnt push the screen protectors because I mainly want a new phone, don't want to give them any reason not to help.

Store manager said she would contact her manager and the HTC rep and get back to me. This was on Monday night. Hopefully I will hear from her today.

Phone is easily the best on the market and makes the Galaxy S4 look like a pile of crap. Can you imagine Samsung even attempting seamless construction? I'm glad that HTC has finally gotten their game together. Best phone since Mogul.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bigjodaflo:
Manager still hasn't called me back. Going to return it and demand no restocking fee. Then I'm going to go straight to Best Buy, buy the new phone.

Then I'm going to photocopy the receipts and email them to the Sprint District and Regional Managers.

It just amazes me how anyone can be such a ****up at job that has one task - make the contracted customer happy so he resigns his contract.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mang0:
That sounds like a good idea. I'd open the box when you're at Best Buy as well, to make sure there are no gaps/scratches, etc. on the exterior before you take it home. Then, if there are, you can just exchange it right then and there. :p

Ive been wanting a little more color when I booted into twrp to flash something so I decided to make my own themes. I didn't know if anyone else felt the same as me so I decided to post some of mine here.

Prerequisites

Twrp 2.4.4.0 or older.

A folder under TWRP on your sdcard called "Theme"

Directions.

1 Rename the zip you download to ui.zip

2 Copy the ui.zip to the "Theme" folder under "TWRP" on your sdcard.

3. Either reboot to recovery or go to advanced/reload theme to see your new theme.

I have not found a good way to get a picture of the themes yet. If anybody knows of a good way then I would appreciate it if they would let me know:)

Hello all,

I am currently (and have been for some time) running CM9.0.0 rc1 and Kernel 2.6.35.7-g823c6f1 inky-ghost@cyanogenmod #1

My questions which I've been trying to read about here and on Rootzwiki are:

1. Is there a JB that is essentially stable or really close to 100% stable at all?

2. Is there any reason why this particular ROM or Kernel is killing my battery?

Thanks!

So I live about 40 minutes out of Washington DC and my LTE has never been all that great, I never saw the big deal. I get about 1 mBps down and it drains battery incredibly fast. HSPA+ is basically just as fast and used less battery. However, this weekend I took a trip to Atlanta and I ran a speed test and got 3.5 mBps down and the battery drained at a very nice rate. I was pleasantly surprised. So just want to hear if LTE is actually as advertised for y'all. I'm on AT&T, so not sure how it will differ for you those of you outside of the US.
