[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Asus pulled the JB 4.2.1 firmware off their website, probably because they realized it had too many bugs. They probably are working on a new release and I would wait for it.

In the meantime read the forums and familiarize yourself with the process of rooting, installing a custom recovery and flashing custom roms.

If you don't want to wait, search for the forums on the Motochopper tool. I believe you can also use it to gain root under 4.1, but I'm not 100% sure.

If you have root, download Goo Manager, tap the 3 dots in the upper right and choose: Install open recovery script.

This will install the TWRP 2.5.0 custom recovery.

Boot into TWRP and select 'Backup'. This will give you a nandroid backup of your current system. Copy it to a safe place.

Next, you still being on 4.1, you need to flash the JB 4.2 bootloader which is version 10.6.1.14.4. You'll find a link in post 1 of the Cromi Xenogenesis thread in the development section. The dev packaged it with TWRP 2.5. It doesn't hurt to re-install TWRP.

Also download the latest release of the Cromi-X (ODEX) ROM, currently 4.4.1, and place both zips into the root of your internal or external SD card (your choice).

Boot into recovery, choose 'Install', navigate to the 10.6.1.14.4 bootloader/TWRP zip you downloaded and swipe to flash it. After installation the tablet will reboot into your old rom - this is fine.

At this point, just to be safe, you may want to check if you have the correct bootloader installed: Boot up with Vol Down and Power button and read the tiny script. It gives you the bootloader version.

If you're 100% sure you have the correct bootloader and TWRP 2.5.0, proceed:

Boot into TWRP recovery again, select Install, select the CROMIX 4.4.1 zip and flash it.

The Aroma installer will start and give you options to choose from. Stick with most of the default options for the beginning. You can always re-flash the rom with a different set of options selected.

Enjoy!

I am rooted with the Galaxy Note II toolkit version 4.1.5 and I want to download the new OTA Stock update. Do I need to unroot first and if so I need help cannot get my computer with the Note II toolkit to recognize my phone serial number never shows up and I do have the updated drivers. Any ideas or help would be great appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wythyntime:
If you want the OTA, you do need to be stock. I've actually never used the Toolkit so I can't be of much help that way but why not try Odin? Is is fairly simple to use and I've never had a problem flashing anything with it.

"Of course if they are compatible."

Ugh... I activated it online like at 10 PM last night and it hasn't worked yet :( It's 9:20 AM now. Maybe. The site said up to 3 hours. Does anyone know how long I would have to wait ?

I noticed a sim lock thing but I dont have the password to it ... :T
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] _MetalHead_:
I have in my possession two (2) 64gb HTC Ones, and both of them are plagued with various issues. From poor battery life that is not consistent with what's being reported here, to random reboots, to build issues. For a "gapless" device, there sure are an awful lot of gaps all over both of these things. On both devices, there is quite literally a defect on every single piece that makes up the body of the device. HTC designs the best looking devices hands down, but when I look back at every HTC device I have had, they've all had build quality issues. My Hero, Evo 4G, Evo 3D, One X, and now the One- all had blatant build problems. HTC really needs to get their act together. That said, I still love the One, I think it is hands down the best phone ever made (save for my old trusty Panasonic Duramax), it just has too many issues right now. So, I am returning both of the Ones that I have (that I paid full price for, mind you) with hopes that when the black model becomes readily available, those build issues will have been corrected. Some of you here know (*cough*Gunnyman) that I am kinda anal about my phones (went through 5 or 6 One Xs) and I just can't justify spending $700 on a device that isn't perfect. I have way too much money tied up in these phones ($1400 for cell phones, whaaaat) for me to settle on one that is less than perfect. For what its worth, if my first One had good battery life and didn't freeze and reboot on me I probably would have kept it, build issues notwithstanding. The second one I got doesn't reboot, but has terrible gaps and edges so that's a no go for me. I am absolutely dreading going back to my iPhone 5 but it must be done. For now. I am without a doubt going to be trying this again with the black model.

Anyways, that's my rant. Ta-ta. Flame away. :p
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] WTFunk:
Garrrr. I was hoping you'd start chiming in on different cases for the one similar to your time with the one x. I'm having a hard time deciding lmao.

See you back soon.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Ranger093:
If you SERIOUSLY think you are ever going to get any device without any issue you're very very far-off from reality. Every phone has one defect or another, yes even the iPhone 5 has issues. Pretty serious ones too.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] _MetalHead_:
Well, in an effort to solidify my decision I went to best buy and played with the black sprint one..... and I like the silver better. Not to mention that I really, really, REALLY can't stand the iPhone and LOVE the One. So call me fickle, but I have now decided on keeping the replacement that I got haha. I now, I'm pathetic. So the good news is I AM sticking with the one. So yeah, this rant was for nought. I do believe that HTC needs to get their crap together though. I'll probably make another warranty claim in a month or so lol. As far as getting a phone with zero defects is concerned- they are out there. I just need to hunt them down. My last One X (out of the 5 I had) was damn near perfect. I love that thing. If they came out with a One X Super+ with all the internals of the One, I would buy it in a heartbeat. I think that is the best designed android phone to date, even besting the One.

[MENTION=3062366]WTFunk[/MENTION]- I'll try to start doing case reviews but my new job has me ridiculously busy so it probably won't be the same like it was on the One X. I still have 20+ cases for that thing that I need to get rid of lol. Right now for the One I have the Diztronic TPU case (it's decent but I don't like it as much as the one they made for the One X), the Incipio Dual Pro (holy hell is it massive! That will NEVER be my main case), the Poetic (it's cool and good quality, but not for me), the Poetic Palette Slim (nice quality but feels like half a case) and I have a Poetic Atmosphere on the way. Rest assured, I'll be ordering a TON more :D
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] WTFunk:
That's good to hear.

I've gone through 3 one x myself due to defects. Still prefer sense and HTC's physical designs to any other brand on the market.

I'm banking on the htc one in black to be newer batches with less defects than the silver but we shall see.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] _MetalHead_:
I pay full price for my phones, and I don't tolerate flaws. When someone pays me to do an install for them, they accept nothing less than perfection. I am technically paying HTC to make me a $700 device, so why should I accept anything less than perfection? It's cool that mediocrity is acceptable to you but it isn't for me.

I just got the black HTC one today full price and I scaled the whole phone for any imperfections and the girl sales rep was weired out by it lol. Hey top dollar...better be top phone.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Lekerstein:
OK while we are in the subject, I can't wrap my mind around anyone would pay full price for an AT&T phone. Are you (1) banking that AT&T is going to offer an unsubsidized plan soon, (2) planning on going to TMO/other carrier, (3) simply rebellious, or (4) other? If you're paying full price on AT&T, arent you essentially paying for someone else's subsidy since you are paying a monthly fee that includes a subsidy recovery for AT&T?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] _MetalHead_:
I change phones every 6 months. I do use my upgrades when they are available but 3 out of 4 phones are purchased outright. I always have to have the latest and greatest, and AT&T's upgrade schedule doesn't accomodate that.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] _MetalHead_:
FWIW, my iPhone 5 froze on me all the time, and apps crashed on it more than any Android i've ever owned. The noise cancelation makes me sound like I'm underwater if I'm not speaking directly into the mic. Every one of my friends with an iPhone 5 has the same issue with the mic. It is incredibly annoying and everyone I know with the 5 hates it because of that.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] :
That sucks. I have an iPhone 5 and it's perfect. Doesn't have a single problem. It's the first unit I got as well. My 4s had more problems than most phones I have owned. I had it replaced 4 times because I kept getting units with bad batteries that would either drain in 4 hours or heat up so much that I actually burned my hand on it on twice. I've actually never had a perfect iPhone until I got my iPhone 5 and then it got even better when they finally released a jailbreak for it. But everyone's experience is different and I do remember that the initial batch of iPhone 5's were pretty bad. About 65-78 percent of the initial run were flawed in one way or another. And that bring us back to the htc one which has its various quality issues. So when it comes down to it there is not an unflawed phone. It just depends on the person and if they like the phone enough to live with the flaws. (sorry for the rant)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jmitr:
Gotta remember guys, the zero gap refers to the back. The speaker grills are laterally glued on.

I unboxed and inspected my One in store thanks to the international threads. I am happy to say my unit was flawless, the speaker grills were as tight as the back, zero imperfections in the plastic sandwich, perfect power button, headset hole etc.

BUT, while recently checking into a hotel I used my email confirmation on my One. I was in the process of putting it back in my pocket when the guy behind me accidentally knocked my elbow. My one went from waist height to tile floor in a heartbeat. I couldn't see any damage at first, but on the bottom (where it landed) the speaker grill has what can be described as a hairline gap AT BEST, I mean you wouldn't notice it unless you really looked and knew what it looked like before. There is a very minimal scratch now in the white plastic, in fact I noticed the "gap" while trying to rub it out. It also is barely noticeable.

There are bad One's out there, mine is world's apart from some in store demo models (working) that I have looked at. If your not happy, exchange it, build quality on the speakers does vary.

I need to go find someone to translate some Chinese for me, but this forum thread looks really promising... http://www.darkforcesteam.com.cn/thread-159481-1-1.html. Apparently they have the xap and the license xml files dumped of an engineering/internal/preproduction? HTC 8x. They also mention an xap for USB mode and something about Interop Services....There is an xap on the list called eMMCTool.xap..perhaps we can use that to unlock the bootloader?

Small Update:

I had a friend of mine who can read Chinese try and help me out. Unfortunately, it looks like registration is closed on the site, and I must be logged in to download files and view links. Anyone have an account with the Dark Forces Team?

Edit 2:

I was able to set up a QQ account and log on. I can see the zip file, but I am not allowed to download it between 1-8 (CST) (NOt Central time, CHINA time) Lots of cool screen shots as well as the app to enable DM mode.

Update 3:

I was able to download the first zip, but it is just Windows Phone PowerTools. The same thing you get from http://wptools.codeplex.com/ There is more (the actual xap files, I think), but I can't get access to it unless I post on their forum, but their registration is closed :( Oh well.

Hi,

A friend of mine recently purchased an Orange SPV E200 and tried to send me a short video clip via mms.

All I received was a blank screen, followed by a text message from O2 stating that my XDA2 does not support it.

This cant be true because I've received clips from him via bluetooth and by exchanging SD cards.

Is this a compatibility problem between the XDA 2's mms function and the file type received?

Is there some software out there that can enable me to view these short clips when sent via mms?

I moved the following into the viper thread; however, I can't figure out how to delete this post. Mod?

DELETE ME

So, my main main motivation in using a customer ROM was to disable auto-sleep. Now I have Viper v1.03 installed (and even the Wolfpack kernel). By ticking the "Stay Awake" button, the phone now doesn't go into sleep mode or (AFAICT) lock up while connected to USB. However, there are, in my opinion, two deficiencies in the implementation:

1. After the expiration of the sleep timer, the screen dims to the point where it's unusable. This is true whatever setting (from auto to 10 minutes) is chosen and is unaffected by power savings settings. There really should be a choice, either under the "sleep " setting or (more intuitively) under "stay awake" to disable sleep timers when connected to USB. IOW, "stay awake" would have three settings: Off, On with sleep timer enabled, and On with sleep timer disabled.

2. With "Stay Awake" turned on, removing from USB should reset the timeout to zero when USB is disconnected. As it stands, removing from USB more or less guarantees that you'll have to wake the phone up and probably unlock it. I would argue that resetting to zero should happen with either of the two stay awake settings I've suggested.

Ok. The files that I've tried would be mods for toggles, keyboards, and different add ons. For the most part, all of the files that I've flashed have worked.

Could you explain what you mean by "install routine baked in" please. I'm a noob and learning everyday.

some of those zip files, were probably just a bunch of individual files, zipped up to save room, and make them just 1 file insted of many..
