Thanks in advance for any help provided. I have already tried a lot of solutions and guides everywhere in the internet but wouldn't find one that would allow me to install a Gingerbread Rom.

RE:

hi again, thank you for your help. but i can't manage to create a goldcard since the german website used to generate the .img image is dead. I've only managed to install a custom recovery but I don't really know if this help with anything.

best regards,

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Well if you have the recovery see if it will allow you to change your radio and bootloader, be sure to use the right ones
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliasbody:
RE:

Once again thank you for you help. Sorry for this "stupid" question but where can I found the good hboot and radio to flash using the recovery ? I mean I've already found it since I've already used this phone with a ICS rom in the past (I've been dumb to update it with the official 1.5 release but that's another question), and I know where to find the .img but I can't flash them using fastboot. So is there any other solution using the recoveyr ? (Like for example, by flashing them directly with the terminal on the recovery).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Its not usually a good idea to flash firmware from recovery, you could probably try terminal but I can't attest to how safe this is. Terminal emulator and dd commands should be last result. Even flashing in recovery could be unsafe.

Best option is to make the gold card and flash the orange.nbh, then you will have an engineering SPL and can update all via fastboot.

I think there is instruction on the unloker.com or something like that. You will probably need to search a bit but I'm not near a computer so I can't link

I have a Dev Edition that I flashed CWM recovery on. The bootloader now shows Tampered, (thanks HTC). I see there is a Dev Edition RUU. If I use it to go back to stock, will it leave the bootloader unlocked and will it get rid of the Tampered indicator?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nugzo:
it will still say tampered even if RUU. If you ever unlocked it, itll show tampered unless you get s-off and replace with proper hboot. :crying: To run Ruu you have to relock bootloader. "Fastboot OEM Lock" But again that wont fix the tampered
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artiemon:
It came factory unlocked. I'll assume you mean if I ever flashed a custom recovery.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nugzo:
I'm sorry yes. I always do them the at the same time. its one or the other :cyclops:

And actually since its a dev edition, try the ruu. It might have a different outcome. :fingers-crossed: I've never owned a dev edition so i havent tried myself. I thought you had to actually unlock it like the OG nexus, i didnt realize they were unlocked out of the box, Nice to know. If you run the ruu, let me know the outcome please. On every HTC phone i've had that wasnt s-off, tampered stayed no matter what.

I recently clean flashed Liquid Smooth 2.5 and Gapps. Everything has been pretty much fine for the last two days... except I get screen flicker and I have no volume control while in a phone call... Can anyone tell me if there is a fix for this? I can't post in the development thread... need more posts.. apparently. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
The volume issue is widespread across many aosp roms. Slim seems to have ironed it out. What works on liquid is suing the volume in the middle, then adjusting from there. It's cumbersome, but works.

Your screen flicker issue can be resolved with another kernel. I recommend kt747
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrickedMyS2HelpPlease:
Hello everyone, it appears I have bricked my device. This happened when I tried to update the operating system on my phone. I do not recall which OS it was.

I cannot enter download mode via volume down + power + home combo.

When I try to flash an OS onto the device via Odin I get 'FAIL' message, in red characters.

I have tried USB JIG option and could not do it successfully.

When I turn on my phone I do not get any logo, or start up screen.

I only get the attached picture.

If I can provide any other information please let me know.

As you can see I am a newbie at this type of thing, but I very much appreciate any level of assistance. Thank you very much xda!

[General Questions and Answers] NapalmDawn:
Hi folks. Got a particular scenario in mind that I'd like some people's opinions on. For the current setup, I have a rooted, Tegra 2 Iconia 500 hooked up to an HDMI port on my TV. I have XBMC running through it along with a little full size USB receiver that allows me to use a small remote pad.with touchpad.

The setup I'd like to move to is a tablet that is a tegra 3, has HDMI out and has a micro or full USB port on it. I'm looking for one that has the port separate from the charging/data port. I know ASUS ones like the 201 and 300 have this kind of setup. Are there any others you would recommend? Also, is there such a cable that would allow both charging and the use of the micro USB port as a legit port at the same time (eliminating the need for power/data to be a separate port from a micro USB)? Also, a relatively easy root would be nice but not ultra important.
[General Questions and Answers] NapalmDawn:
Bump for ideas. Aiming at a TF300 but still wondering if there's suggestions for a tab with HDMI out and a dedicated micro USB that isn't in use for charging/data.

The Toshiba excite has this setup but doesn't have root yet.
[General Questions and Answers] xMrArnoldx:
Honestly I don't think your going to find better then one of the Asus transformers. The tf700 is spectacular.

-------------

I am a dishonest man, and you can always honestly trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly it's the honest ones you have to watch out for.
[General Questions and Answers] NapalmDawn:
True. Price is involved with the Infinity though. I also found out the TF300 doesn't have the micro USB unless you get the dock. Does the Nexus 10's port get shared with power?

Alternatively, there's always the MK808 type items. I even heard Gamestick supposedly supports XBMC. My biggest goal is to combine Tegra 3, HDMI out and a micro USB I can use with a little touchpad/KB remote. I did find a cord hhttp://dx.com/p/cy-u2-165-ri-usb-2...-degree-otg-data-cable-black-15cm-33cm-205520 that might let me charge and use USB on a single micro USB port.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
This nandroid was the first one I ever made. I made the mistake of transferring this backup to my PC via USB instead of airdroid or some other wireless application. Because of this when I tried to restore it on my phone I got an error. The contact was saved to phone but not synced to google account. There is an important contact that was saved along with that nandroid. I need that contact....pretty much now lol. The nandroid is still on my PC. I have 7zip if that's what I'll need. What part of the nandroid should I be looking in to retrieve contact information? Any help is GREATLY appreciated. If I need any other programs just let me know.

**EDIT- I tried extracting data.img and it says "file is broken." Basically, transferring this nandroid over USB corrupted the file somehow. Is there a way to fix it so I can extract theme .img's and find my missing contact?

[Xperia Z Accessories] poomctp:

[Xperia Z Accessories] Michealtbh:
Copied from the accessories thread

I ordered 2 bumpers for my Xperia Z and both arrived last week. I'll do a short review of both in case anyone is in the market for a decent bumper.

Black aluminium bumper http://amzn.to/13xdOSn

There are quite a few of these being sold under different brands and I suspect they all come from the same manufacturer since the photos all look identical. It comes in 2 parts, you set your XZ into the front and slide the back on. The inside is lined with soft rubber for protection. It looks sleek and stylish and doesn't add much bulk, however I don't think it would offer great drop protection. The edges feel a little sharp when held against my ear but overall the bumper feels great in the hand. The ports (especially audio) are a bit difficult to access but not impossible. The volume buttons seemed a little difficult to press at first but I soon got used to it.

Roxfit bumper http://amzn.to/11weE0g

This is supposedly officially endorsed by Sony. It comes in nice packaging with a screen and back protector (which I haven't tried). The bumper has glossy black edges with a clear centre and has a couple of logos. It feels rubbery and provides great grip. It adds quite a lot of bulk which should offer great drop protection, this also makes the edge of the screen a bit difficult to access when using one handed. Ports are relatively easy to access.

Personally I prefer the aluminium bumper as it looks better, doesn't add much bulk and the phone is easier to use than with the Roxfit.
[Xperia Z Accessories] smallchi:
I got Metal Slim, Aluminium Bumper, Roxfit Bumper & Poetic Bumper.... here's some comments.

Metal Slim - actually it's not really slim, I used 1 days then drop it.

Aluminium bumper - it damaged by Xperia Z after dropped from table

Roxfit bumper - a little bit soft and slim

Poetic bumper - just like Roxfit but more colorful
[Xperia Z Accessories] consti83:
So which one is your favourite? ****ty thing is, that they are all not really thin ;/!

Is the aluminium bumper damaged because of the drop or did the bumper damage your phone?
[Xperia Z Accessories] smallchi:
the poetic bumper is my favourite one, but the picture in amazon isn't the real one, the colour got a little different!!

the aluminium bumper didn't protect my phone after drop, also caused the phone edge got damaged....
[Xperia Z Accessories] cy888:
Do you have a pic? Or describe more about the damage? Was thinking about getting one. Thanks
[Xperia Z Accessories] smallchi:

Hi all,

I am having the same problem with the grey screen and black cross. I'm using Complete Linux Installer to boot Backtrack, but am unable to view the desktop GUI via VNC.

Reading through various posts about the subject, but still the same outcome. Can someone post up a working xstartup file, where they are successfully running Backtrack to see if this is where i'm going wrong. I'm sure this is stopping me seeing the desktop.

Also, various posters have mentioned taking a look at the log file. What is the logfile called and where is it stored?

Thanks in advance.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] i-wiki.ch:
Hi Sid,

Thats the problem, we don't have a working xstartup file and i don't think that the problem lays down to the xstartup file. You can get a view of the logfile with following command: In the root directory: cat .vnc/localhost:1.log

I've tried various network services in backtrack and tried to access this services via android and via a windows pc. Both can't get something usefull. SSH will abort after one second, vnc shows the anoying grey screen and much other problems. I think we need someone who knows all the differences from the s3 to the s4. I think this problems are of cause the new cpu.

Sorry that i can't help you sid.

grey screen

When I connected for the first time the only thing I saw was a grey background and couldn’t do anything…

Here’s the sollution…

open the file /root/.vnc/xstartup in your favorit editor (I use nano..)

nano /root/.vnc/xstartup

comment out every line in the file and add the following:

xrdb $HOME/.Xresources

xsetroot -solid grey

x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &

gnome-session &

Your file should look like this

#!/bin/sh

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:

# unset SESSION_MANAGER

# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

#[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup

#[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources

#xsetroot -solid grey

#vncconfig -iconic &

#x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80×24+10+10 -ls -title “$VNCDESKTOP Desktop” &

#x-window-manager &

xrdb $HOME/.Xresources

xsetroot -solid grey

x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80×24+10+10 -ls -title “$VNCDESKTOP Desktop” &

gnome-session &

Now reboot your box and run the vnc server again, It should work now..

Note: vnc sends your password in clear text over the network. If you use it to connect to a pc on the ‘internet’ make sure you tunnel your traffic over SSH !!

Have Fun…..
