Thanks :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eushaun99:
Interesting...I have no idea what to do..:D

Can you try booting into bootloader? Hold power down + power button.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmar8124:
That didnt work :( it seems totally dead but i have read a lot about it online. Will a download jig work?

Thanks for your help matey :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eushaun99:
I don't know what's that lol. Sorry but I can't help you with it. Given that you're stock and unrooted, you might wanna send it to Samsung to fix it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmar8124:
No worrys :) i think ill change the battery or something haha. Iv got no warranty. A downliad jig forces your device in to download mode to be used with Odin lol

If you find anything else let me know matey i appreciate your help :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stinky73:
All depends on what the "deadness " is......

Could be dead dead, or could be screen dead in which case stuff is happening but you can't see anything happening.

If you have already had device connected to a computer that has the appropriate drivers installed (talking windows here) open device manager on the computer then connect the tab and see what, if anything happens and might be detected... That would show tab is working but you cannot see it... If nothing happens immediately once it's plugged in, take a fairly long press on power button and see if anything is detected then. A long press on power button (15 sec+) would put tab in apx mode which actually shows nothing on screen but again device manager would show it (this is used for nv flash). At least this way you'll know if it's dead dead or "just" something else...

Btw eushaun99 is a great and helpful dude here and has my respect but I think he gave you a bum steer via a typo with his button pressing...I think he meant press power button and volume down for boatloader, not "power and power" as he wrote, so that is worth a try also... Am I ok with that eushaun99?

You're right, its volume down, not power down. Oops :p

I have same issue too. My GT7500 starts only if I warm it till >45°C using a hairdryer or putting it under the sun (here in Italy very hot). But it's only for a normal boot, not in case of reboot when it goes all fine.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stinky73:
That sounds to me like the battery is tired, very tired and needs some help to produce current required, or a faulty connection somewhere. Once the tab is running the whole unit would tend to self heat so will reboot ok. Most fails are the opposite and are heating faults which is why someone came up with freezing sprays to track down which circuit comes back to life when cooled. Have you noticed any reduction of time that battery lasts between charges ?

Thanks for your help matey and thank you everyone else who's helped iv now sorted it :laugh: :highfive: cheers guys. I had to remove the screen to get to the motherboard then unplug the battery and pop it back in again charged it for 30mins and it sprung to life I have now flashed cm10.2 unofficial build that should sort it only problem was a destroyed the adhesive so I had to buy a load more but hey I should be happy it was nothing like a bead board etc :) thanks again :silly:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stinky73:
Brilliant!! That's a far quicker way than normal where people drain the battery by taping down the power button to drain battery to achieve reset.... :highfive:

Great!!

I'm too afraid of breaking my tab to remove the battery but maybe I'd have to. :)

Can someone help me?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badhri:
ADB wont work in stock recovery

For me also Stock recovery never worked. Just try to flash CWM or TWRP.

Btw, What toolkit did you use and how did you install the drivers. Please answer these, so that someone can help you better.(Or is it just the 'mac toolkit' ?)

My suggestion: PLZ DO NOT USE TOOLKIT. If you are stuck at some point while using the toolkit, then you'll not know what went wrong and how you can correct it. Do it manually. It is the most hassle-free method. Trust me.

I think that ADB will not work in stock recovery(may be you can boot normally into your phone and then try adb). The thing which you are looking for is 'fastboot'.

1) Restart ur phone (Power Button + Volume Down, i guess) and land in the bootloader and connect your phone to PC.

2) In CMD prompt(or Terminal), type 'fastboot devices'. If your device gets listed here, then fastboot is working and drivers are properly installed. If not, then drivers are not properly installed in your PC. You need both ADB and FASTBOOT drivers. Install them properly.

PS: For MAC, i think the command is slightly different. Something like './fastboot devices' . Please look for the same in this forum or just google it and find out.

3) Follow this guide for flashing CWM and Rooting.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2266654

4) For properly installing the Drivers, read " A. Install the drivers " in the below thread (actually you can read the entire thread ;) )

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roguedroid:
I used the nexus 4 Mac rootkit I found in here.

It unlocked my phone fine. But when it came to installing a recovery and root it didn't.

Neither my adb or fastboot are working now before I unlocked and I messed around and they worked now nada ...

I went to YouTube saw my problem tried pressing volume up and power like in the video and it just gives me a black screen and either turns the phone off or reboots it normally...not sure if in supposed to hold power and let go of volume or vice versa.

I placed all the files on the storage I just need to access stock recovery which I strangely cannot now...

Tried framearoot and got nowhere.

Very frustrating
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badhri:
Sort out the drivers and adb,fastboot

Just as I mentioned, i also had the same problem with stock recovery. So I simply flashed a Custom one(CWM, in my case)

Get the ADB and FASTBOOT working and that'll solve your recovery problem. Try fiddling with your drivers again. Not sure how to do that in MAC. If FASTBOOT is working, the you can boot into a Custom Recovery(you need not even flash it) and perform whatever you need to.

fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot customrecovery.img

Again, look at the efrant's guide i referred above; i took this from there only.Remember to replace 'customrecovery.img', with the actual downloaded custom recovery image name.

Or you can try posting your problem with the toolkit, in mac toolkit's thread.

I have been youtubing everything and finally got to

Reboot system

apply update from adb

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition.

I now can get adb working so I tried ./adb sideload cwm from my desktop and it is giving me signature verification failed. installation aborted.

What can I do to resolve this?

I searched xda and no one can solve this issue from the threads I've read.

Okay, so yes I am a new guy, I have rooted my previous phones though. I have an s4 with the mf3 build, tried rooting it with the sd card (2g) formatted as exfat via Windows 7, also tried in disc manager in Windows. Copied Un zipped files over to card (card was in a card reader) and put it into my phone. Opened terminal, and on ./pwn I get the "permission denied" like everyone that Trys to do it in fat32.

ah, but see, i had no way of knowing which carrier you were on, let alone what firmware you were running. that's the kind of information you should be posting in your OP.

have you researched the MF3 root thread to see if your answer is within those pages?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] foxmxrcer:
This is the att s4 section, and it says mf3 right in the title. Yes I have looked through the threads, tried everything I found with no luck. 99% of the time the answer to my problem is "format your sd card to exfat", but seeing as I am formatted in exfat, that solution does not apply. I'm curious if att did something else with the phone to block this method because I literally just got the phone (refurbished) on Friday, shipped from att.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] FourPointedFreak:
I am in a similar boat to you. I got a new AT&T S4 to me after the OTA update. I have followed every single step in the new method for rooting the S4 on the MF3 OTA; nothing.

My SD card is definitely formatted to the correct format - even tried multiple cards.

Can't find a fix anywhere.

I would make sure you're working in the right directory. My previous phone's /sdcard was actually the external SD card (as expected). The SGS4 /sdcard is internal storage.

tl;dr make sure you have the files in /mnt/extSdCard and not /sdcard or /mnt/sdcard.

Hi all,

Wondered if anyone can help me? I have an XDA1 and have just bought a car kit which looks great. However I need to connect my haicom 203e gps receiver with PS2 plug. The box says GPS navigation is optional but the instructions give no info as to how to connect it.

I have a funny looking plug coming off the main cable where the antenna connects and figured that may be something to do with it.

Has anyone got any info how to connect GPS to the kit itself

Thanks
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] LumpiStefan:
I have had exactly the same combination.....

Have to take a look this afternoon, to my links. There was a great review of the car kit, where all the schematas were drawn....

I cut of the original GPS-Connector of the car kt and used a PS/connector to vonnect my Haicom gps.....

Stefan

By the way: My complete set will be at Ebay in a few days..... ;-)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] M0RNR:
Thanks Stefan that would be great - I take it you had a plug with 8 wires If I knew what the 8 wires did I could wire up the Haicom via a ps2 connector. Its the function of each of the wires that causes me the problem.

Hi

I'm kind of a newbie to this and I was hoping someone could point to a guide about how to root unlock and flash a custom rom to my OG and what rom do you recommend
[LG Optimus G (International)] GRG13:
ROOT

http://androidtutorials96.blogspot.gr/2013/08/tutorial-how-to-root-lg-optimus-g-e975.html

Try this!

Bootloader unlock

.I dont own the device so i searched a little and found that you can use an application called "Freegee"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee_free

Custom RECOVERY

Download "ROM manager" from Play store and install CWM recovery.

Now you are ready for flashing.

1)Choose a ROM that you like.

2)Download

3)Put the zip on the internal memory

4)Reboot to recovery by pressing Powerbutton and Volume down

5)Make a backup

6)Wipe data/cache/dalvik cache

7)Go to install zip and choose the rom zip file.

8)Reboot and ENJOY
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
All ok,except rom manager..freegee will flash the recovery..twrp 2.40/2.50,cwm or touch cwm.so no need for rom manager to flash.

I recommend cwm touch.

Another thing...pressing vol down+power will get you into fastboot mode.from here on you need to press twice vol down,then power. Only now the phone will enter recovery.

I recommend,after root,unlock and cwm flash to install an app from playstore to reboot into cwm.i used quickboot.

1)Nova Thor sources are available right? The thing I can't understand is why can't jb work smoothly on our device? I also have a galaxy ace running smoothly on jb. However Xperia u has much better specs right? I actually wanted to try porting one of the galaxy ace roms.

2) how to change android version number in settings? I saw that being done in one of the galaxy ace roms..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Little Zed:
1) developer are trying to port which is near stable but RAM issues causing our device. But JB is smooth now. Check FXP CM10.

2) if you want to change, follow this instructions.

go to "/system" with root explorer

mount r/w

long click to build.prop

open with text editor

check this line

ro.build.version.release =

or similar to that line, search for it.

then change the value to anything. then save and reboot.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nimreck:
Regarding the first point however galaxy ace has only 279 mb ram while Xperia u has 378 mb wouldn't porting such a room mean that much more ram would be available.

Anyway I think that Samsung devices use lesser ram. Maybe that's due to touchwiz or due to lack of features like front camera, led bar and usb otg
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Little Zed:
You can't compare to Novathor devices which has low ram even 378 mb. Developments and devices cannot be the same even they have the same specs or higher specs. It depends on the sources also.

Oh no!!! I made a mistake buying this device:'( . I bought it for the Mali processor but this is bad. I guess Samsung and Qualcomm rock after all:'(

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] fernandohual:
Hi, I am very new and I really need some help I was trying to install a custom rom but something went wrong.

Waht I did was.

I first rooted my device,

then I installed the second bootloader TWRP

And I forgot the wifi on, so thw kindle fire HD updated itself and eliminate the super user app.

So I restored the kindle fire hd to ist default in the restore option in the main manu.

then I root it again,

and try to instal the second boot loader again,

but after I installed the second boot loader it never boots up into the kindle fire hd system,

what happends is, in turns on, appears the kinfle fire letter in orange, the aperars kinfle fire letters is blue, then kinfle fire letters in orange again, whit a animation, that use to appear when is about lo load the system, then it reboots itself and repeate the entire process but this time goes into the TWRP second boot loader.

I think I could fix it by just using the backuo files I made o I coul install the custom room I want from there, but the problem is that I cannot load any file to the kindle fire hd because when I connect it the pc it shows as ADB device. Please help me out with this. I would like to you help to restore it to stock or tell how can I transfer files to my kindle fire hd when is in TWRP mode.

I already tried the mount option on the TWRP but the pc does not recognized it as a portabla device where I can store files.

:crying::crying::crying::crying:
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
I think this is what happens when flash the old freedom boot image on the latest updates, not positive though. Anyways what kind of backups did you make, like a nandroid backup from twrp that u moved to Ur PC, or a backup as described in the fire flash tutorial made using adb? If its the adb method its really simple, you just boot into twrp and hit restart and then hit boot loader, it will go into fastboot where you can flash those images. Otherwise I suggest just downloading the latest prerooted amazon ROM in the android development section and trying to use the side load feature. I'll explain more after you post back.

I hope that this is the right thread for my problem. I've also tried to install a custom ROM on my KFHD 7'' - I did it using this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2271909

I'm able to get into TWRP, wiped and I flashed the latest CM 10.2 from hashcode + the gapps but when I try to reboot the Kindle (after wiping again) it goes into orange logo, which changes to blue logo and stays there. I've waited for a long time and nothing changes - tried to advanced wipe all the stuff from my tablet and flash again, but I always end up on the blue logo. Also does not matter if I only flash the CM 10.2 alone without gapps.

Does anyone have any idea how I can progress from here? I should be able to restore my backups via Factory Cable - but this is not what I would like to do.

Thanks in Advance!

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
So did you factory reset when doing this? And are you sure you grabbed the version of the ROM for your kindle?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Gildoniel:
I did a factory reset, yes. And I took the ROMs from Hashcode for version Kindle Fire HD 7'' (my tablet) I managed to successfully flash CM 11 now -> I checked zip verification when installing the ROM, this seems to have helped. It is booting after a few seconds now.

Did not realize, that the zip verification was important (this was the only difference afaik) and now it seems to work smoothly.

All in all I am still a bit puzzled - but at least my tablet is up and running again.
