[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] _Kyros_:
Ok so I'm really thinking about going S-OFF finally after avoiding it for so long, but I want to avoid using Linux. I have Windows Vista (unfortunately). This is what my BOOTLOADER looks like...

*** TAMPERED ***

*** UNLOCKED ***

JEWEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.19.0000

RADIO-1.12.11.0809

OpenDSP-v29.1.0.45.0622

eMMC-boot

Aug 9 2012,15:14:25

Don't know if all of that is relevant, but thought I should put it to be safe. Also I'm running an AOSP ROM (Deck's Unofficial CM10.1). So my question is, what is the easiest and fastest way to get S-OFF just using Windows for HBOOT-1.19? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

From fastboot, do "fastboot erase cache", then format cache from recovery.

Currently Minecraft PE does not support the SHIELD controls, so do not buy it as of right now.

I finally have a believable answer from them.
[Shield Themes and Apps] agrabren:
Wow, I knew it didn't work (I already own Minecraft PE) but I'm shocked they're so rude about it...
[Shield Themes and Apps] :
How unbelievably rude. The one game on the market that I would pay $6.99 for today and they go about treating one of their potential customers/new markets with crassness. :(
[Shield Themes and Apps] SixSixSevenSeven:
where did you ask this? Because I have never heard of mojang responding in that way, only the minecraft forums who are not representatives of mojang.

Minecraft PE supports the XPeria play controls and the touch controls only. No idea why its only the xperia which gets hardware control. There are apps for rooted devices to map hardware controls to touch, perhaps one of those may work with the shield and minecraft. There might even be some way of mapping shield buttons to the xperia buttons and fooling minecraft into using them, but that is something I am more doubtful of.
[Shield Themes and Apps] aDigitalPhantom:
I emailed mojang directly.
[Shield Themes and Apps] biothundernxt:
Actually, yes to both of those. There is an app that I have confirmed works for the shield in such a way

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.locnet.gamekeyboard&hl=en

It allows physical control to touchscreen emulation, or xperia play emulation, and various other forms of emulation.

THIS APP REQUIRES ROOT

If you need root, visit this link: (note: currently rooting on the nvidia shield requires unlocking the bootloader, and that voids your warranty.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2400029

I have tested this app to be working on final fantasy dimensions with the physical control to touch screen emulation, and it works great. The right stick drifts a bit though, and i believe that is a side effect of the right stick acting as a virtual mouse sometimes but I could be wrong.

Anyway. Hope this helps.
[Shield Themes and Apps] aDigitalPhantom:
This is why I normally avoid paid apps/games on play store like the plague...App A says "hardware controls supported" so person buys app a, and runs it to find out that, he needs to spend even more money on app b to use the hardware controls in app a.

PLus the fact that Minecraft PE is very misleading about cross platform play, and the devs have only been dicks to me about the problems.
[Shield Themes and Apps] biothundernxt:
: / you know its that kind of attitude that I relieve is responsible for the lack of decent games on android. There are a few but most of them cost money. And if a game is good, I willing to put down few bucks. Those free games are never really free anyway. They are pay to win.

Sorry for the rant, but I felt that I needed to voice my opinion :p.

And in my experience, devs are pretty good at integrating features that people ask for, particularly controlled support.

And what do you mean about mojang being misleading about mine craft pocket edition being cross platform?... That's the first I've heard of that.:confused:
[Shield Themes and Apps] aDigitalPhantom:
I would not mind paying for a game if the developer stood by their game and actually helped the people who buy it with problems.

My comment about free games is that if you get a free game you need to expect no support or bad support, but if you pay for a game you should get decent support. I have never once gotten decent support for paid games on Google play, I have always gotten better support from free games.

And for cross-platform play setup a minecraft server on your desktop and connect to that from minecraft pe on your android device.

about the pay to win games there are also plenty of free games that are not pay to win.
[Shield Themes and Apps] biothundernxt:
I believe you are mistaken. You can, in no way shape or form, play cross platform from minecraft pocket edition to pc, you can play cross platform between android and ipod/ipad. but that's about it. It wouldn't work anyway, pocket edition is missing blocks from the pc version, and pocket edition has blocks that the pc version does not have (ex: nether reactors)
[Shield Themes and Apps] aDigitalPhantom:
My main reason for posting is that the game controls are not supported.

My frustration is that the support staff are being very very rude to me for trying to get the controls supported.

I can live with out cross-platform play, but they will not even accept it as a suggestion.

If i knew I would have to spend even more money to use the controls I would not have payed for minecraft pe in the first place. there were other game i could have spent the same 7$ on that would have actually worked correctly.
[Shield Themes and Apps] biothundernxt:
Dude, I think you were asking in the wrong place. And you have to think about it this way:

The shield just came out so of course alot of things wont support the controller.

Im sure you weren't the first person to ask for shield support, so they are likely getting annoyed at people asking all the time.

They dont take suggestions because if they did, they would have to consider thousands of requests a day. Minecraft is way more popular than any of the other android games.

Where were you talking to them?
[Shield Themes and Apps] aDigitalPhantom:
E-Mailing their support team.

If they just been polite about the controls not working, and not been rude about it. If they also put in writing on the play store page that they do not accept suggestions, then there would be less problems there.
[Shield Themes and Apps] biothundernxt:
Hmm...

That is odd.

Usually they are pretty nice to people.

Anyway, sorry you had a bad experience.

I'm sure that in one way or another minecraft pocket edition will eventually get shield support.

In the mean time, It is likely that another app like the one i posted will become available for free.
[Shield Themes and Apps] SixSixSevenSeven:
Minecraft pocket edition has very little in common with minecraft on PC at the end of the day.

Pocket edition primarily consists of a C library. They then use a wrapper to expose the libraries features on android, iOS and raspbian independently. The raspbian version has even further modifications.

Minecraft on PC is java.

Ultimately pocket edition is just a glorified minecraft clone from the same developers. Shares no similarities code wise. Highly unlikely that it could ever link between the original java version, the PE version or the xbox version. They never claim anywhere that it can do that either.

They do claim that the hardware controls are for Xperia Play, they make no claim that it is compatible with any other gamepad.

The Shield controls and of course external gamepads are exposed to android as Human Interface Devices and you can use the standard android library to interface with them. The Xperia Play controls are not exposed as an HID for some reason, some of the regular buttons can be treated as an HID (with really weird mappings actually, think circle is mapped to Alt Key plus the android back button or something bizarre) but the thumb"sticks" cant and sony give an actual android lib which covers the regular buttons too, most developers just use that, including mojang for some reason.

Honestly, I think they need to get their fingers out of their asses and add HID input with proper assignments and joystick support. There are quite a few android devices out there with hardware keyboards etc,. Hell, sisters netbook came dual booted with android but has no touchscreen, that would be even more unplayable than the Shield for minecraft without 3rd party apps (and no, cant just switch over to windows and play MC there, without the optifine mod it gets 2 fps, with it gets 3, unplayable, increase java priority and the system cant keep up and you get input lag anyway, all drivers are updated)
[Shield Themes and Apps] :
In addition, C is much more ideal for games in general over Java. On a mobile device you need C so the OS can manage the memory better.

[Shield Themes and Apps] SixSixSevenSeven:
yeah, I call bull**** on their excuse, the shield controls are a standard human input device readable with the standard android libs, they need nothing more than to install the android SDK to have access. Might email them myself with your quote there.
[Shield Themes and Apps] agrabren:
Nice for them to pass the buck, but unlike Sony, there's nothing special about the controller on SHIELD. They just don't support controllers in Minecraft PE. Whether it's connected over Bluetooth to a Nexus 10, or a SHIELD, it's unsupported.
[Shield Themes and Apps] aDigitalPhantom:

It's really frustrating that the Amazon Fire TV has controller support but we don't! What's the difference really, come on?? Apparently someone got their Amazon Fire TV Minecraft apk working on their Note 2 and got a moga controller working.. So maybe that could be a way around the problem. But I'm not sure how to get a hold of the apk, let alone legally (obviously I won't get a pirate copy), though I already bought minecraft on PC and the Google Play Store so it's not like i morally object to getting a third virtually identical copy illegally.

I am trying to go back to stock, but somewhere along the way I seem to have corrupted my internal card. I am trying to put the PH98IMG on the internal, but I cant mount it in recovery ("cant mount emmc"). When I try to mount usb using the installed rom, the external card is accessible, but internal doesn't show up like it used to. I downloaded the RUU and renamed it PH98IMG.zip. Can I flash the RUU just like a custom rom using recovery? Or does it need to be installed from hboot using the PH98IMG method?

edit: I ended up just formatting, there wasnt really anything on internal anyways.

[Motorola Atrix HD] wamsille:
Ultimately there is going to be a point in development on a device that, when reached, will effectively mark the device as end of life. Community development and support generally goes on much longer than official support. Other factors such as network connectivity, processor speeds and memory can influence how long a device can be developed for. So far the Atrix has 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3. In terms of Android this device has had a fairly good showing considering it is not a Nexus device. Many people are still waiting for Jellybean on their devices, so at this point the fact we have Jelly Bean and then some should be reason enough to be thankful for developers that have sacraficed their time for this device.

I don't think Key Lime is going to hit the Atrix, but if someone who plays developer in their spare time decides it is worth attempting it will be done. Keep in mind it will be an unofficial build and likely ported over from a device with similar specs, so not exactly a squeaky clean representation of what KLP would like on the Atrix HD.

Since upgrading my ROM, every time I connect my Magician the "Install Programs..." window pops up on my PC. What's that all about?

It's not prompting me to install anything, and just shows a list of installed programs. Whether I OK, Cancel or (X) it, it always pops up again next time I connect.

I have an ATT LG Optimus G Pro. I rooted it and insalled CWM and preformed a backup with it. After that I tried flashing a port of CM 10.1 to my phone. Something went wrong and when I tried rebooting the phone it got stuck in the boot loop, all I get is the LG screen and then a blank screen and the led just changes colors. So I tried getting to the recovery, but instead I got a screen telling me if I wanted to preform a system reset, so I obliged thinking it would take me to the recovery, it didn't. My question is if I can get to the recovery, and if how? I know this might not be a real possibility. And if I can't, how do I unbrick my phone?

Stock ROM and not rooted.

My lock screen sometime freeze over. Sometime it just need a couple seconds until I could unlock my phone, another time I need to beat the home button.

-Reducing the animation scale to half did reduce the freeze frequency

-Changing unlock effect to none doesn't help at all,

-I also disabled shortcuts and multiple widgets option, yet still it freeze

-Disabling CPU power saving also didn't work

But the screen still recognize my touches, it just won't let me unlock.

Only when I disable the animation effect, then it won't freeze. But what's the point of buying hi-spec gadget if it can't handle even HALF animation scale? anyone have the same experience? Know how to solve it? Please help, thanks :D

Is there a way to solve this?

Or just explain why this is happening?

Can you get to download mode or recovery?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omit931:
I have tried with Siyah (and Dorimanx, which is based on Siyah) Kernel (from here on XDA).

I'm just using the official stock rom 4.1.2 (but rooted)

I can get into recovery and download mode.

So i can get back to stock kernel to get all functions back, but I would like to try other kernels to try dual-boot, better performance,...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Flash dori 8.32 I no this works. Flash through recovery. To dual boot a 4.1.2 ROM it need to be moded. stock won't dual boot. Don't try.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omit931:
I just tried to do that but I keep getting an error message:

"E:signature verification failed"

edit:

After looking a bit more into it, the error is "status 7" which would mean (according to google) that it isn't compatible with my phone.

Which surprises me since it is a kernel build for the i9100.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
I've also seen a status 7 for a bad download of the file. Re-download the kernel and give it a go.

As you can't boot, download the kernel on your pc, then in cwm, go mounts&storage >mount usb. Then transfer the file over from pc to phone, and flash. Dorimanx 8.32 is a good bet as Andrew said.

Edit: that's assuming that you boot into CWM recovery, not the stock recovery.

Also, when you were flashing via Odin, were you flashing the tar extension as needed? Or did you accidentally grab the zip file? Zip file won't work on Odin, only in a custom recovery.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omit931:
When I flashed with Odin, I did use the tar file. There was no error using odin but when I rebooted, the screen stayed black.

I would want to use CWM but when I try to instal it (using the zip file from the Clockworkmod site) it's only temporary because when I reboot the phone, it's back in stock recovery
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
Yes, correct. To get the permanent recovery, you can use PhilZ kernel. Its the stock kernel, only rooted and with CWM recovery. It comes in an Odin version as well as a version which is flashable from stock recovery.

But back to your flashing....

What 4.1.2 are you on? And it is an i9100 we're talking about right?

And what kernel did you flash?

If Odin said it passed, the reason (except on rare cases) for it not booting is that there is an incompatibility between the ROM and the kernel you flashed.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omit931:
It is the i9100, buildnumber: i9100xwlss (if that's what you're asking).

What's up XDA

First off this is not another thread asking if it's possible to use AT&T's LTE on the i9505.

(I already know it can be done.)

Rather, I'm asking if there is some official process (maybe a thread) for enabling it on the phone.

In my search I've seen bits an pieces of what to do, like:

1. Flash the modem needed for At&t.

2. Ensure they have your phone set to an LTE plan.

3. Set the APN up to use LTE.

But many post are conflicting, and some seem to indicate that you don't have to do anything.

That's why I'm asking for a step by step. I apologize if there is already a thread that addresses this. (Truly, I tried to find it.)
