[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MargotSchnyder:
I think that I might have kinda bricked my Maxell Maxtab C8 while trying to exchange the Internal USB storage with the SD Card.

The only thing that happens when it boots is that the Android Boot logo comes up and stays there forever. I have managed to get it in some kind of recovery mode (image of cute green little android laying on it's back with with a red triangle), have also managed to install Android SDK manager and issued the command "adb devices" in shell - reporting "{serialnumber} recovery".

Now I do not know what to do... Seems I need some kind of firmware to put on the device, anyone knows where I can find that? oes not need to be original (4.1.1), I'm satisfied if I get it to work again.

Please help, I'm desperate! :crying:

As far as I know it's some kind of MID tabled branded Maxell, at least it said that in the settings while it still worked, and also Windows claimed that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MargotSchnyder:
Okay, I found a 455MB big rar archive called flashdump.rar with some img files from an Italian source that claimed to be the original firmware. Problem now is that I have no idea whatsoever how to put them on the device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MargotSchnyder:
I returned the device under warranty and got my Money back. Purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab2 10.1 for the money instead.
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] og.blaah:
Thinking about getting this camera...but I have a question....Does Adobe Flash 11.1 work on this device? I know that Android is not supporting flash anymore, but I have a Note 2 running flash 11.1 , and Jellybean 4.1.2 works great.

Thanks in advance.

same OS, same chipset, same compatibility.

it will work, but some browsers won't even try loading it, and you need to side-load flash.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dave:
I apologize if the question has been done, but looking around I could not find the answer to this simple question:

I will be able in the next days to have an official ROM upgrade for QTEK9090. 8)

Can I install it into my QTEK2020 "as is"...??? In case it won't work, can I go back without troubles to my current ROM,always packed as official upgrade, without having to make workarounds with .nbf files and "special" xda-developers tools ???

Edit: there would be no change of language, so please forget the well known "language code" issue

Thanks,

No. Can't be done. The hardware mappings are different.

Now you need to decide what you want to do...boot to bootloader and it will say what hboot you're on...jb needs 1.5 or lower

[General Questions and Answers] FiveSigma:
HTC one att version, Installed from 9.1, which worked flawlessly. Got 10.1 to finally install without

freezing in Aroma, installed ROM cleaner afterwards. Everything is fine

until about 5 minutes inside Nova Launcher. Screen immediately goes to the

HTC One screen, with brightness intermittently dimming and brightening, freezes there basically.

Reboot into recovery, reboot system, same occurrence at HTC One screen, boot won't complete.

Has happened four times in a row. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I have a quote saved from HTC One trade up program. Would here be anyone who bought AT&T HTC One and returned it. Would you, by any chance have a copy of the packing slip/invoice/bill and upload it for me (With the names and other details removed ofc)

I have an old Verizon BB which I could trade in.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFex:
Hey everyone :)

I already educated myself on where to find the bootanimation of our GS4 and on how to make one myself. It's in /system/media.

And there is a How To here on XDA.

But where can I find the Boot Logo aka Splash Screen?

What would have to be done to change it?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samersh72:
In sboot.bin partition. Dont mess with it. It is the bootloader
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFex:
Thanks for your answer.

And since I'm here to educate myself I'll just go on asking:

I understand that for an inexperienced user playing around with an essential file/partition like sboot.bin it can get very messy very fast.

That said, I wonder how hard it could be to to exchange a simple picture, or respectively how it could hurt the file structure?

(Just to avoid being misunderstood (cause English is not my mother tongue): I'm not some kiddo that arrogantly thinks, that it can't be too hard to hack a phone and put your own stuff on it ;)

This is an honest question I'd expect an honest answer to. I'm really interested and try to wrap my head around developing a little more every day.)

Anyhoo, since I'm a customization freak I'm off now to educate myself even more and see what I can find out about that "sboot.bin" partition on my own.

*Edit: o.k. - I already had an idea, but now I know for sure what a Bootloader is.

So here are some additional question:

• Does every ROM come with a bootloader?

• I understand from what I read, that it can be flashed if necessary, correct? - oh, I just saw that ODIN has an extra slot for Bootloader, that kind of makes this question obsolete :p

• Here is an excerpt of a failed ODIN flash (NOT MINE! =) )

From what i can see here I assume that if a ROM has a bootloader included, one could find it in the unzipped ROM file right along with the cache, hidden and recovery image files?

Or is it inside of on of the images (probably the boot.img, eh?)...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samersh72:
Sboot.bin can be in stock ROM and it can not. It comes alone not with other file since it is a separate partition.

In s4 stock ROMs, sboot.bin is not included, but I noticed that it is included only in Chinese firmware, when flashed, the bootloader becomes in Chinese language and the boot splash name will change. Only it can be changed by flashing another sboot.bin file.

Oh yea, After the lack of updates with the Samsung S Vibrant, it was natural to upgrade.

[HOW TO] [ROOT] Motochopper by Dan Rosenberg Posted By - k0nane added 061412

Note:

The UVUAMDL update includes Samsung's silly root-restricting kernel. You'll need to downgrade it or use a custom one to avoid that.

All you need to know, folks. To get the dev options menu, and enable USB Debugging, tap the build number in About Phone until it tells you it's been enabled.

You'll need the drivers.

Unlike on AT&T devices, we do have a return to stock option, though it is not "virgin" as a Samsung-sourced TAR would be.

Very helpful posts! Makes moving over to the gs4 a piece of cake.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serendipityguy:
How long did it take for you to switch over to the S4 and how often do you upgrade yo

Thanks blakeslee14, for the feedback!

I have been a galaxy user since the Vibrant days and love that phone.

Albiet that the Samsung Vibrant was flawed and the GPS drivers were never publicly released or the source code for that matter like in the past with the S2 & S3, switching from the S3 was very easy for me and I have only had the phone 9 months, 9 very good months! Switching to the S4 was even more easier because T-mobile had this upgrade & trade in program that was hard to pass down.

The Vibrant I felt that I have had over a 100 years and it was had to part with at the time. The community support was great and custom roms & custom kernels were dropping every other day!

The big motivation on the Samsung side of the device was the 13 MP camera and Rock Solid GPS, everything else was just bigger and better! The big motivation on the Android side was the UI and more and more developers writing apps!

The Android is maturing quite well and most of the software as a service (SAS) is already in place with most of the Google Service such as Play, Gmail & Maps.

ps: I am a buckeye as well ;)

Here is a question for anyone....

How long did it take for you to switch over to the S4 and how often do you upgrade your Smart Phone?

For me, I have had the

Samsung Galaxy Vibrant for almost 2 and half years because it still works

Samsung Galaxy 3 for 9 months
