"Me: what would the cost of a replacement back be?

ASUS Rep: I am sorry but I do not have quotes for repair for this unit as yeat. If the damage is deemed to be customer induced and if they are using the same quote as that of the first Nexus 7 units, it would cost approximately $88 to replace the casing of the unit. This price includes parts, labour and shipping."
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] danvee:
So, about $20 for the part.

Might have to wait until broken ones get parted out on eBay...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ShimaMiku:
You seem to be right and I'll just have to live with it for now (still waiting for my case). Here is the whole conversation; keep in mind that I only want them to honestly give them money and have them send me a back replacement:

"ASUS Rep: Based on the information that is provided, I can create an RMA for your product to get serviced, but there could be charges associated with it if the damage is determined customer induced at the repair facility.

Me: well, what would the cost of a replacement back be?

ASUS Rep: I am sorry but I do not have quotes for repair for this unit as yeat. If the damage is deemed to be customer induced and if they are using the same quote as that of the first Nexus 7 units, it would cost approximately $95 to replace the casing of the unit. This price includes parts, labour and shipping.

That should be $88.

My apologies for that.

Me: wow, that is a lot of money

is there the possibility of just replacing it myself?

honestly, i'd rather just pay for a back and not be without my device for something i can fix easily

ASUS Rep: I am sorry John. We advise against such an operation as you may void your warranty by removing the casing for the tablet.

Me: i appreciate the warning, but $88 for a simple fix (1/3 the cost of the device) is borderline exploitation

i've seen the iFixit teardown and know it is approximately a 5 minute job

i just honestly need a replacement back

ASUS Rep: I am not aware if this part would be available for download on our estore as we normally advise against opening tablets.

Me: download?

ASUS Rep: Available for purchase. My apologies.

Me: i know you advice against opening tablets, but you are the manufacturer in which i need to contact to repair a asus made device that i own

ASUS Rep: I would advise that you backup our data and have the unit sent in for servicing.

Me: you are essentially saying that i either potentially pay $88 for an easy fix, or my device does not get fixed

ASUS Rep: I am saying that due to the information provided. I would advised that you backup our data and have the unit sent in for servicing. If the damage is customer induced, you may be charged approximately $88 as per the cost for a regular Nexus 7. I do not have a specific quote available for repairs for this specific unit. When the unit is inspected and the damage is deemed to be customer induced, you will be contacted by email with the exact cost of repair. From there you can choose to accept charges or have the unit sent back unrepaired but you are responsible for shipping.

Me: how much is shipping if i refuse charges?

as a major manufacturer, you must have flat rates that you could provide for me

as you would have a contract with a shipping supplier

ASUS Rep: AT this time since the unit has been newly release, I do not have that information available to provide.

It would normally be $15-$30."
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] danvee:
Give it time.

However, ASUS is the company that, when the plastic housing on my Nexus 7 2012 USB cable cracked, would replace it under warranty if I sent THE ENTIRE TABLET, POWER SUPPLY AND CABLE to them.

They were going to send a complete new sealed packaged N7 at their cost to replace a $4 cable.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Murdock80:
Hi all,

bought myself a shiny new Asus Memo Pad FHD 10 (x86, 2560 Atom cpu) a couple of weeks back and realized that it's a bit more picky when it comes to movie files than my other ARM devices.

Question here now is:

Does anyone know of a working x86 DTS plugin for Dice Player?

The FHD 10 has a 2500 series CPU (2560, SSE3) and a SGX-544MP2 GPU.

When loading the DTS plugin, Dice Player just crashes straight away for me.

Samsung will use the same Intel platform in their upcoming Galaxy 3 Tablets, it'll be interesting to see wheter x86 gets a little push in the Android sector.

Let me know what you think/know, thanks

[Droid RAZR M General] Forveralon:
Will this work with the latest OTA?

I know the latest OTA was supposed to have removed the unlock exploit. If I follow all the intructions will I still be able to root AND unlock?
[Droid RAZR M General] carb0nrain:
Root with the latest OTA update

This guide is only meant for people how don't have the latest OTA update. The latest OTA update removed the bootloader unlock exploit which means that you can't install a custom recovery or ROM. However, there is still a way to root your M with the latest OTA update. Look at the first link in the text document above (I can't post links directly in replies because i am a fairly new member). Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Ryan

[Droid RAZR M General] Rumblur:
Could one of you in the know, please give the system versions that allow root? I just bought a Razr M, that came with 98.16.1.XT907 and the one click root worked fine. There is a nag wanting to do a OTA for version 98.16.3 but I keep telling it "later" as I do not know if that version is rootable. Is it?

Thank you, and I hope this helps someone else.
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
The new version is rootable but you can't unlock the bootloader. If you are still on the older version, you're lucky. Unlock the bootloader and don't take the update until afterwards. Even if you don't use it, you might regret not unlocking the bootloader because the update blocked the bootloader unlock exploit. Look for the RazrM Utility 1.20. It has the root method, bootloader unlock, recovery flash tool, and recovery tool all in one package.
[Droid RAZR M General] Rumblur:
So if I read you right, you're saying go ahead and unlock the bootloader, root it, take the OTA (just the one I mentioned or all of them? I think there's one even newer than that if not two) and then using the tool you mentioned, root it again?
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
Yeah, pretty much, but you'll need to root first, then unlock the bootloader (use utility 1.20 for this). After that, you can take the OTA and reroot by using Motochopper 1.3 or by just flashing a SU zip in recovery. The utility can be used on the previous update only, not the newest one. Another option for you after you unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery, is using one of the stock based ROMs on this forum or Batakang. There are a couple of stock based, pre-rooted ROMs running around here.
[Droid RAZR M General] Rumblur:
OK, I took the 3.1.6 update and the bootloader is still unlocked. I tried using the utility 1.20 afterwards and the root (option 5) failed. It said "SU already exists". If I uninstall SU would that help and then it take root? Or, is there another version of motochopper that I need to find and download?
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
If your bootloader is unlocked and you have an aftermarket recovery installed, all you need to do is flash a SU zip in recovery.
[Droid RAZR M General] Rumblur:
No aftermarket (that I know of, but I'm rusty on this stuff as this is the first thing I've done since the HTC Inc2). I just found a DL for motochopper 1.1.2 and used it. I downloaded a root checker from the store and it says "this device has root access". So I guess I'm good!

While I have your help and attention here, I've looked at the ROMs listed on this site but there is not much information about why one is better than another etc. I'm perfectly fine with the stock phone "IF" it has root (which it does now) and IF the weird shutdown/lockup thing goes away. My other #1 main concern is anything that will increase reception.... I am leaving the Inc2 behind for that very reason... horrible reception.
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
If you want to run a custom ROM, you'll need to install TWRP or CWM. If you want to get the best reception, stick to stock and just tweak it, or find one of the customized/deodexed/tweaked stock ROMs running around here. I've had no issues with aftermarket ROMs and signal, but many people have complained about weaker reception on the aftermarket ROMs.
[Droid RAZR M General] Rumblur:
many thanks. I will check out the deodexed stuff. Is there any preference or reason to pick TWRP over CWM or vice versa? One last question after that.... when I had a Droid X, when I was ready to sell it I used a SBF CD to put it back to bone stock OEM. Is there something like that for the M?
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
I prefer TWRP because it's easier use. Also, it seems to work better than CWM for the 4.3 ROMs that are out now. Yeah, you can run a XML in RSD and restore to stock. Here's a complete listing of Moto firmware.

Hey guys,

I'm having problems with Step 3, I'm typing adb reboot-bootloader into my command window but it's saying 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file; what do?
[Droid RAZR M General] sloosecannon:
adb is not an internal or external command, operational program or batch file :P

This usually means you don't have ADB in your terminal's cd (current directory, not compact disk) or in your system PATH. Where are you running your terminal from? Also, have you downloaded ADB already?
[Droid RAZR M General] rocketrazr99:
An easy way I have found to flash a custom recovery is to install ROM Manager app by CWM and it won't even let you get into the app until you install CWM or TWRP. Install CWM for the Photon Q (it is confirmed to work) and then later on you can upgrade to the official CWM or switch to TWRP as I did. Hope this helps as the ADB PATH issue can be complex for some.Good luck, post back if this works for you.

LGInstallServices.apk

Silent Install + Privilege escalation

CVE-2013-3741

LG Install Service has an unprotected bindable service that allows other appliations to install apps, uninstall apps, set app defualts, enable apps, disable apps, clear app dataand "install system package", which causes installed apps to behave as if they were installed on /system/app. Apps installed this way can use system only permissions.

LG provied a nice permission available to system apps

<!-- LGE_CHANGE_S, [IMS][hwangoo.park@lge.com], 20121010, [LGE_IMS_FEATURE] for LGE IMS Client Solution -->

<permission name="android.permission.IMS" >

<group gid="media" />

</permission>

<!-- LGE_CHANGE_E, [IMS][hwangoo.park@lge.com], 20121010 , [LGE_IMS_FEATURE] for LGE IMS Client Solution } -->

POC attached for LG Optimus G Running JellyBean. POC uses LG's IMS permission to gain system group and patched dalvik-cache of a system-uid app to execute code as system user. This POC uses a prepatched odex, due to time constraints of mine. Once it has patched the cache is uses "GiantPune"'s property_service symlink attack to write a patch to uevent_helper and gain root. Will upload source sometime after I get home. This is the first vuln I presented at XDA-DevCon today.

Is LGSlap.apk same as LGInstallServices.apk? No success with P769 V20h

[

I tried LGSlap.apk (I do not see LGInstallServices.apk anywhere, is it the same thing?. On T-Mobile P769 V20h I did not get root (after multiple attempts). I have another post asking for a reference to other exploits you alluded to. Sorry for being repetitious, just not sure in which thread I should feedback on LGSlap.apk.

Here is the other post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45778443&posted=1#post45778443

I have no idea what LGSlap is, not what that device is, The exploit is specific to the LG OG i was working on, however feel free to reverse engineer it, no obfuscation was applied. The vuln exists on many LG devices, but the patched optimized dex will need to be redone.
[Security Discussion] reikred:
Stymied

Very sorry but I truly do not comprehend what you are saying here. I downloaded LGSlap.apk from your post 3 posts above what I am writing this moment. That post talked about LGInstallServices.apk, but the apk that was attached was named LGSlap.apk , and when loaded into the phone it showed up as LGPwn.pk (icon).

I understand that LGInstallServices.apk is for LG OG and not my P769, and that I should try to modify it to make it work. But as you see I'm not even sure I have the correct to apk to work on. I looked on your google+ and github as well.

Forgive me for being a java and Android noob. I have 25+ years of unix experience, but the mechanics of Java and Android Apps is still black magic to me. I'll try to improve.
[Security Discussion] jcase:
The app shows up as "notmalware", LGPwn is another root for LG that I released, it exploits LGInstallServices that came pre installed on some LG phones

Hi, I'm looking for a way to increase number of volume steps on my Verizon S3.

I found the thread that shows how to do this by modifying framework.jar http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42631958. But I always end up with some unexpected top-level exception and bad magic value.

So I'm wondering if there is a volume mod for this phone/rom already since I can't find any.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nrock2256:
Here's another bump for you. I'd like to see a fix for the exception errors.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KillerBytes:
You could download Music Volume EQ. It allows you to set a DSP which plays your music louder. No root is needed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nrock2256:
In my case, that's not what I want. I want software level step changes. 30 would be a lot nicer than 15.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KillerBytes:
I honestly do not think you can do that on the S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kelter:
For clarity, are you looking for a method to make the steps smaller between volume levels or are you looking to increase the overall volume of your gs3?

Ex:

GS3 audio starts at 0 db, ends at 90 db, with 15 steps in between - 6 db per step (FYI, these are completely made up numbers)

Are you looking for:

1) 30 steps at 3 db each, making the start and end points the same decibel level?

OR

2) 30 steps at 6 db each, making the start the same (0 db), but increasing the overall volume to 180 db?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] supertotoro:
I'm looking for the first one: having more volume steps between the start and end points at original decibel levels.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KillerBytes:
You can do that through and application called. Xposed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] supertotoro:
I'm guessing this is the app you are talking about.

I couldn't find modules related to my volume question but it still is a pretty awesome app :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KillerBytes:
In one of the setting in the app, it says you can edit the step through it which will then add it to the framework.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] supertotoro:
Do you know which module has that option? Or is there setting in the original app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KillerBytes:
In the app GravityBox, go to Home/ Media Tweaks and the 2nd one down from the top, there should be Volume Steps.

Go to this thread for GravityBox: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2316070

Anyone have this issue, when I search I see the old Atrix had Prox issues but nothing really on the HD. I know some phones allow you to adjust the Prox.

hello, I have a samsung galaxy blaze and a while ago i tried to root my phone but i was ignorant and tried to install a root for the wrong OS, and if it wasn't for your guys' help i probably would have had to gotten a new phone, so thank you again! Anyways today i tried to connect my phone to my PC and it used to work (like when i broke it before i did it throught the PC) but now it just charges it and NOTHING comes up. i re-installed the drivers twice and nothing. The reason I want to do that is i keep getting a low memory notice and I can't open my gallery. I deleted all my music off of it and most of the junk apps and I still can't open my gallery. I have a 16GB external SD card and I want to put all my pictures and music and apps on that but when I move my apps to the SD card it just fills up the USB storage. So my questions are how can i connect my phone to my PC again? it only charges it........How can I clean up my phone and put ALL my music on my SD card? I want to root it. right now everything is stock and its Android 4.4 and I'm thinking I want to root it so I can delete the bloatware and make it run faster. Thank you!
