[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MercuryStar:
This seems really strange, but when-ever I connect an external keyboard to the Note II via USB, the default on-screen keyboard is switched back to the Samsung Keyboard *permanently* (not just while I'm using the external keyboard).

That is, when connecting the USB keyboard, Samsung switches the default on-screen keyboard to the Samsung keyboard, and shows a note claiming that the Samsung Keyboard must be used (without giving any choice about reverting your default keyboard).

There seems to be no good reason for this, as the USB keyboard continues to work fine when I manually switch the on-screen keyboard back to Swiftkey or Google Keyboard (my preferred on-screen keyboards). It seems it's some sort of arbitrary glitch, but I can't figure any way to get around this problem, on a non-rooted device. There seems to be no way to configure this and no way to simply disable the Samsung Keyboard (which I never want to use). Doubtless this is Samsung-specific.

Anyone got any tips for me, save for rooting the device which I don't want to do?

Are you telling us that you flashed your kernel manually? Are you s-on?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] llamallama82:
Sorry for the late reply,

Yep the HTC is S-on
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] llamallama82:
Also I'm using TWRP as recovery
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] patate331:
Try to replace the WIFI module: /system/lib/modules/

Try this one, this is from my ROM, and if this one doesn't work, you can try to replace it my the one in the original ROM

***Replace the file extension

.txt

by

.ko
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
Or try this. reflash your rom and reflash the boot.img provided. No need for wiping
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] patate331:
That's an other solution. But I think I had the same problem with this ROM. So I replaced the wi-fi module and everything was okay.

Try those solutions and let us know.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] nemesys1024:
Hey Patate331, how did you replace the entire wifi module?? i have the same issue..

This is my post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51786898

Please can you give me a hand??

Thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] patate331:
Yes, you can use Es Explorer.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop

Reboot after replacing
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] nemesys1024:
But you just replace the "file.ko" in /system/lib/modules ?? or did you do anything else?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] patate331:
Nothing else, as long as I can remember..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] nemesys1024:
Damn.. that doesn't work for me..

I have already try to push the files, flash de boot.img.. flash 4 rooms.. I cant get wifi/bluetooth to work.. i have "unknow " mac address.

Thanks anyways for your quick answer..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] patate331:
Normally, when wifi/bluetooth, etc. Don't work, it is cause you don't flash boot.img correctly.

Command: fastboot flash boot boot.img

If your boot.img is named differently then adjust the last part of the command
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] nemesys1024:
Yep, i know...

With each new rom I fastboot flash the proper boot. img inside the zip rom file but with no success .. anyway this method is used if you are S-ON, now I'm S-OFF.

Im installing CM11 again now, that it seems like it has own kernel..

I would like to know where are the configuration files in the linux/kernel so i can find where/what driver is looking for.. im googling but couldn't find anything yet.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
I really think you have a hardware problem at this point
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] nemesys1024:
It could be possible, but how to be sure about it..

that is why I'm searching for TERM commands to find that..
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech.arthur:
Dear all,

If you haven't updated it, don't do it.

My situation now is:

1. It stucks at the red dual core logo; (I think it shouldn't be called a boot loop)

2. It can't be powered down; (even I press and hold the power button forever!)

3. If I reboot it, I can still press the -vol button to choose between modes, but there are only 3: NvFlash; RSD; and fastboot. No "android recovery" option.

As of now, I put it into Nvflash mode so that the screen will not keep shining with the red logo.

May anyone suggest how I could unbrick it, or the worst case, reinstall everthing to stock?

Thanks very much for your help!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionSeven:
204 and 205 don't work...

If you had read a few posts back on the thread you would know this.

203 however is great...just clear caches and flash...all will be fine.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech.arthur:
I have known that already, didn't u notice? :)

I know 203 is great, too.

My problem now is I am stocked, and couldns't get into the recovery. Any suggestion to fix it?

I have tried some brick fixing method in the forum, but a strange thing is even though I can control and even flash files to my xoom, but if I typed "adb devices", it shows that the xoom is actually not connected. And thus, the work I have done didn't help at all.

Waiting for someone who is Almighty to help me!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi, I think you can try flashing the recovery again with the fastboot. Do the following:

Plug your Xoom to your PC

Open a cmd (if you're on Linux tell me)

Go to your fastboot folder with it

Download a recovery and rename it to recovery.img

Type:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

It may do the work, if it doesn't work, please quote this post and I'll tell you how to factory reset ;).
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diamondvsn:
great fix, back working

I am a long time reader but this is my first time writing a comment.

Okay, so your case seems worse than I expected... Somehow it seems your recovery partition for screwed :confused:. I will think a little, if I don't come off with anything I will send you a guide on how to restore to stock (unless you want it now I can send it). Gimme some time and I hope to find an answer for you ;)

So, I did a little research and it seems that NVFlash is a thing back from HC LOL! I dunno how you got there, but I'll help you getting out! Remember the following will completely wipe your device, if you want to take some more time I can see if I can find a way to get you out without wiping. So here we go:

Download the Stock ROM from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13178555&postcount=2

Extract it to a folder which cointains fastboot protocol

Boot your tablet in fastboot and plug it to your PC

Open a cmd and go to the fastboot folder

Type:

fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

Hope this saves your device ;).

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChillyChan:
I don't think this wipes internal memory. Just application data.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Yes, it will wipe your internal data, when I first did the command I thought the same as you, resulted in a loss of 13-14GB of storage :eek:. So now you know and will never do this without warning ;). About the case now, can someone make me and the OP a favor?

Get the stable EOS 4 ROM, install it, go to adb shell and type:

dd if=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/system of=/sdcard/system.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/recovery.img

Then upload those three files

So the OP will be able to fastboot flash the files and it will probably boot, as it's the same ROM he was using before, prolly it will require only a 'fastboot erase cache' command.

Hope you can help with it ;).

So let me see if I get it right:

The method u suggest now, is useable even I can only control the device in fastboot mode?

I need to boot it in fastboot mode, and then type the commands u posted.

Now, could I just download a 203 zip and unzip it to do so?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChillyChan:
I learned it the hard way ha ha. Followed your directions and I was able to boot the tab (my brother's) to stock but all data is gone like you said. Too bad I didn't check the thread before that.

Now it's running EOS 203 with no problems. I'd help you upload the images but my upload speeds are terrible so if you/he can wait till tomorrow, I can upload it overnight.

Btw, can he just flash the stable EOS 203 zip using "fastboot flash zip"? I could do it on HTC One X so I'm just wondering if Xoom supports it too. The recovery is just CWM Touch from clockworkmod.com and the boot.img is in the ROM zip.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hehe, the hard is way is the worse (but at least you never forget lol). About the update.zip, what happens is the following:

When you do an update.zip file, you write something like a "install script", which the recovery reads and apply, that's what the update.zip does while the fastboot simply flashes the partition itself. That's the difference, what I think you used on your HTC One X is adb sideload, which I used some times already, which basically sends the zip to a tmp folder and install it. The thing is, fastboot is very different from adb, so you can't simply do it. On new devices (with unlockable bootloaders) the fastboot has already some new cool features, I tried to use on my Xoom to see of worked, but no luck, the command was "fastboot boot recovery.img" which could prolly work on OP case, however Xoom's bootloader is old and doesn't support this command. I don't mind waiting and am very grateful for your help ;). Hope we cab fix Arthur's tablet soon :D!

~Lord

PS.: regarding your other question [MENTION=5349096]tech.arthur[/MENTION], that command should be used by someone with a Xoom booting, so we can get the EOS4 system.img and boot.img, this way you can boot your tablet after flashing the new imgs with fastboot ;).

I decided to reset my Galaxy Nexus (GSM, I think!) to it's factory settings, I should also mention that I have used Wugfresh's toolkit to flash Android 4.2.2 to replace its stock image that the phone came with, I flashed it to Yakju because it took a lot of time for an OTA update, I couldn't wait that long so I flashed it!

So my phone's bootloader is unlocked and it's rooted, all using Wugfresh's toolkit.

SuperSU is installed. Busy Box was installed before resetting.

So I reset the phone to its factory settings, and then when it boots back up it asks for your google account, that's where the problem is.

It takes a lot of time to connect to my WiFi network, and when it tries to connect to my Google account it says that it can't establish a reliable connection to the server.

And the WiFi Icon on the status bar is grey, as if their is no internet connection, although if I open the browser it works just fine, and also the laptop is connected to the same network and is working fine.

Please help, I'm in Pain!

3-I had two lines

I just added a # at the beginning of the second line to make it

#127.55.56.83 blah blah

saved the file, and rebooted my device and tried adding the google account. I don't know if it made any difference but I had my SIM card removed the whole time.

In general, if you have two devices that are the same with one on gsm and one on cdma,it should work fine. Its just a matter of adding appropriate changes to the rom to suit your network and use appropriate boot method specific to your device. But as with anything I suspect there might be minor device specific differences that you will have to work out for your particular device.
