[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] zedri:
Ifixit -now- has a teardown online.

The back has pegs, so you have to pry outward for the pegs to clear. You can't simply slide it off. Using a razor blade worked very well. I was able to pry the back over the pegs using the knife. Do the top first, and then the side opposite of the buttons. The rest is done by hand.

Now the real work begins!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] phonic:
One of the cool 'features' of the N7v1 was that the back removed just as easily as a cell phone. While the battery wasn't plug and play, it could be replaced easily enough. I guess they decided to make them more locked down this time.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttouch:
I love tinkering my Nexus 4 to death (that's why I bought it without second thought). However, sometimes I'm left without a phone in the middle of a street, and all I need is a pc with adb and I can solve the problem (have you tried flashing chainfire 3D on nexus 4? well, don't try it out of your home :P ). So, I thought, why not have a fully functional terminal on my recovery partition? just in case something goes wrong... I have no problem not having all the GUI goodness (being an Arch guy).

TWRP terminal is really bad and you can't even Ctrl-C. Not even think about tab completion.

Thanks in advance! :)

[General Questions and Answers] timidhermit:
Newbie with Microsoft Surface RT surface.

Want to downgrade from 8.1 to 8.0.

No recovery disk/partition created before. But has recovery disk/partition previously created from another Surface RT tablet posted here.

My questions are:

1. Before I restore, do I need to "extract" my OEM activation key or serial number from my current installation? Since I am reinstalling from a recovery disk/partition that is not of my own, will this recovery overwrite my own activation key or serial number of my own device?

2. The recovery disk/partition is NOT an ISO here. It is just a zip with some files and directory inside. How do I prepare the USB (what format? how to format) so that I can then copy those files into the USB key and plug the USB key into the RT tablet so that it can boot from it?

3. Any other unique device info I need to copy over to the new installation? No need to save personal data. I am referring to instead stuff like activation key or serials that are unique to my device.

Please help!

And now when I check for an update, my phone says I'm up to date but I'm still on 4.2.2.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnsonyc:
You have to do it manually by use fastboot method. OTA is not gonna work when you flash the TWRP as your Recovery.

2 method: 1. fastboot flash your recovery back to stock one OTA will work. 2. Flash your N4 with fastboot to get 4.3 ROM.

Don't think so, only power AFAIK.
[Google Chromecast] spunker88:
I plugged it into my computer and even tried pressing and pressing/holding the button on the Chromecast but my computer didn't indicate any hardware plugged in.

I wonder if the data pins are even wired to anything internally.

UPDATE: The USB cable that comes with it may not work for data transfer, tried it with my phone and it didn't work. So I tried a normal microUSB cable but still nothing.

[Google Chromecast] Jon Fether:
Examining board

Based on examining the photos of the motherboard on ifixit.com...

Component EM1 appears to be a USB Common Mode Choke. That goes on the D+/D- pair which you can see routed from the USB port, so it wouldn't be present if there wasn't some use for data communication over the USB port. (Cost sensitive equipment.) The flip side of the PCBA shows TP1-TP20 (Where TP19 and TP20 appear to be GND). My guess is in that mix you have a JTAG port for programming/testing the unit initially with a pogo pin rig (evidenced by the dimples observed in each of those locations), and there might be more high/low GPIO pins where one might allow the unit to enter its USB data mode.

Is there any special kind of powered otg cable to work with this? I looked on Amazon but not sure. I want to grab one incase they make any progress on rooting this.
[Google Chromecast] OneAn9ryN00b:
Looks like its already been rooted. With what looks like a dual usb otg. They don't go deep into what specific cable but, I would guess it is a generic dual usb one off ebay, or amazon, heres a quick one i pulled from amazon http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Cable-P...8&qid=1375052489&sr=8-3&keywords=Dual+Usb+otg

But if you read into it, they say you can root, but unless your a developer you probably wont get any benefit of rooting....yet, if at all.

[Google Chromecast] eurominican:
Please correct me if Im wrong, but the cable you linked only charges the thumbdrive/keyboard/mice/etc NOT the Chromecast so how would one root it since it does need power from usb plug? I've been searching for correct cable and cant find it; link to correct cable would be greatly appreciated!!!

This cable wouldnt work, right? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Usb-type-A-..._USB_Cables_Hubs_Adapters&hash=item4857e3608e
[Google Chromecast] spunker88:
I own that cable from Amazon and it should work. It brings in +5v from a charger connected to the female microUSB port and then splits it to the female full size USB port and the the male microUSB port so both the USB host device and the USB peripheral device are getting power.
[Google Chromecast] eurominican:
I ordered this cable http://r.ebay.com/QgwBIW Will report back if it works when I get it.
[Google Chromecast] sic0048:
I also bought that powered OTG cable off Amazon and it will power the Chromecast as well as provide the means to flash the Chromecast via a USB thumbdrive. When you apply power to the Chromecast, it automatically flashed the bin from the USB drive. There was no interaction required (or even possible). Of course this was on the original firmware - if your Chromecast updated itself, you have lost the ability to root the device at this time.

Clearly the Chromecast does sense the USB drive and pulls data from it during the initial boot sequence. However I'm not sure if it would ever work for other devices such as keyboards or storage devices, etc.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to hook those types of devices up to the Chromecast however. Once you have root, you can telnet into the device, so adding a keyboard doesn't seem that important. The whole idea of the device is that you send it media from other devices and control it via that other device. Adding storage for example doesn't seem important since it can pull media off the network already (ie a NAS or another computer).

Anyway. That has been my experience with it so far. It's a long winded answer to more than just your question about the OTG plug.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43980245#post43980245

Flashing this file in ODIN bounces back a SECURE CHECK FAIL: pit error.

I'm going to try to do the same in Heimdall, but I am having a hard time getting the context of the command correct.

It's asking me for more information than I know.

I'm on windows typing into cmdprompt:

It's telling me the following:

Heimdall has a front-end you know...

I had to fix an S4 that an S3 ROM was flashed to. It would just vibrate repeatedly. Several times I flashed it with ODIN and it succeeded, but it didn't fix it. I had to do an Emergency Firmware Recovery with KIES.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tr10:
Thank you for posting this and giving me hope. Currently the phone vibrates repeatedly. I have downloaded KIES, but KIES doesn't detect the phone, it just gives me an error. Any insight on this? I'm currently putting the phone into download mode and plugging in my stock USB cable.

I have the most updated drivers from Samsung's website.

Thank you for your time.

EDIT:

I was able to get back to a stock firmware recovery using the KIES method, worked a lot better than ODIN did.

Thank you for the advice. and to the person who had originally stated KIES which I ignored.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Craptain Krunch:
Having both Kies and the normal drivers on at the same time, I had the same issue. It was an either / or thing, because they conflict with each other. Start fresh. Uninstall both Kies and the typical Samsung USB drivers, run CCleaner, then reboot. Install Kies, then reboot. Don't install the Samsung USB Driver we typically use for MTP or Debugging, KIES has its own. Open Kies, choose Emergency Firmware Recovery, or even just Firmware Update, it'll ask for the Model and Serial #, then hook it up in download mode when it asks you to. The one I was working on, download mode was accessible, it was just extremely slow loading, I had to hold the 3buttons a little longer than usual, and the screens draw themselves very slowly.

Ok so I just killed my screen completely (had a cracked screen, replaced it with new screen and loca, but eventually the screen died from i don't know what).

1 year into 2 year contract with my step dad's family plan. If I was currently employed, i would pay up for a new phone or what not.

I see now that the S3 is $49 with new 2 year contract, would be cheaper than buying a new screen/digitizer on ebay. Any way I can work that with verizon?

I could probably sell the phone as is for around $150-200 or so, which would help cover costs of a new one, but if I say the phone is lost /stolen, that would kill the esn.. I don't know what to do at this point.
