Great work!

I can't thank you enough for the help! It works perfectly now with the play store and superuser app. Thank you again. I really want to keep learning more about but there is soo much information online that I have no idea where to start. Do you have any suggestions? I will appreciate the help.

Thanks again!

Unzip the modified stock 3e recovery and place the uImage_recovery on your external SD card.

DO NOT UNZIP the other files. Just place the other zip files on your external SD card.

Reboot to recovery. The tablet will automatically detect and load the modified uImage_recovery file from the SD card instead of the stock internal recovery.

OPTIONAL: For Root... flash the root package .zip file.

OPTIONAL: For Gapps... flash the Gapps .zip file.

OPTIONAL: To return to Stock... flash the ROM .zip file. (There's no need to do this unless your tablet won't boot or you've messed something up after rooting.

[Android General] mixednuts:
Well, the China tabs like the NextBook is probably not the best device to first start mucking with Android... manufacturers such as these fail to release source code making it difficult for aspiring developers, such as shaunmt, to tinker and guide users with hacking and flashing custom ROMs etc.

I happen to learn a bit by owning devices that had a solid community base on a forum such as XDA, and then took the risk with messing around on those devices.
[Android General] shaunmt:
Agreed. It's been a long slow process of research and experimentation with these tablets. A Nexus device would probably be the best supported device to really learn from.

Any ideas?

Did you unpack the recovery zip onto the root of the SD card.
[Android General] shaunmt:
Thanks and Official Support

Thanks to those who are answering questions in this thread.

I'm supporting this device and other Nextbook devices over at Freaktab.com.

People may want to check there for updates and solutions.

ShaunMT

P.S. CWM v6 Recovery for this and other Nextbook models is currently in private beta testing and I expect to post a public release soon.

I just put everything on the SD card, I formatted it first. I don't think it has a root directory, or maybe it does and I don't know it.

Can you explain the steps to me please so I can have a better chance to get it right?

Thanks,

Chuck
[Android General] mixednuts:
By root I meant on the SD without being in any folders.

The contents of the recovery zip needs to be unpacked onto the SD, only then can you start flashing.
[Android General] helichuck:

I did that , I keep getting the signture failure.

Can you tell me exactly what needs to be on the SD card?

Thanks,

[Android General] mixednuts:
Do you have the file " uImage_recovery" on your SD?

You get it from the recovery zip file.
[Android General] helichuck:
Answer

Yes, I have that file and these

recovery.zip

magicrom.zip

gaps.zip

Is that all I need? what is the proper procedure?

No matter which one I select , I get the signature failure error

Thanks,

The only other thing I can think of is a bad download.
[Android General] GreatSudoku:
I was able to:

extract the uImage_recovery and put it in SD root

Boot into recovery after the android logo update of recovery

install root via recovery

install gapps via recovery

reboot

Upon booting the tablet said updating apps (installing the gapps I suppose)

However once Android is up and booted the system is unresponsive. The tablet doesn't seem to respond to any touch I make. I fear I'm going to have to flash the stock image and call this one a loss :( Shame as everyone else here seems to be running theirs rooted and with gapps without any issues.
[Android General] mixednuts:
Try wiping everything before flashing. Unless you make some sorta backup first you'll lose all apps and data.
[Android General] GreatSudoku:
What I did to fix it:

Let it update 62 apps upon boot

The system froze on the lock screen

I rebooted and upon reboot the system updated 41 apps

The system froze again at the lock screen

This time the system rebooted itself

The system took a LONG time at the pre-loading screen, the circle of dots cycled VERY slowly for about 5 minutes

The system then updated 41 apps again

and voila, now my gf's tablet boots and has the Google Play Store, and is rooted (I downloaded SuperSU which updated successfully)
[Android General] mixednuts:
Good to hear.
[Android General] jefbal99:
So a friend of mine got what I believe is this device from her mom, but I'm having all kinds of issues getting it rooted and GApps on it. Between here and the freaktab forum, I'm not sure which device this is. It is different than a device listed in that thread with a different chipset.

When I try to use the modified Recovery, I get the Android logo with the red Caution triangle over it. I downloaded it three times from different machines and used two different micro SD cards to ensure corruption wasn't occurring. For a brief second I see the Android logo with the gear going, then the caution. I tried booting into recovery with no SD card in and got the Caution again.

On the Back I see the following info:

nextbook

MODEL NO:NEXT8P12

Serial No. YF0132..... (its been rubbed off)

FCC ID: S7JNEXT8P12

On the About screen:

Model Number:

Next8P12

Android Version:

4.0.3

Kernel Version:

3.0.8+

Build number:

V1.0.18.IML74K.eng.root.20120306.212805_HW:1.0.0.0

This is 4GB of storage, FIRMWARE is listed at 1.37GB

Any idea what this is or what to use for Recovery/SU/Gapps?
[Android General] shaunmt:
One of the biggest problems with this model, is that Yifang/Nextbook switched from Rockchip processor based hardware to Amlogic processor based hardware and didn't change the model name or much of the packaging.

The Amlogic based version didn't come out until around "Black Friday" in November of 2012 and I believe they have Android 4.0.4.

Based on your Android version and the dsate in your build number, yours looks like one of the older RockChip based ones.

Take a look in the main Nextbook forum (not the Amlogic Nextbook subforum) and see if there is a ROM available for the Rockchip based Next8P12 (I believe there is).

Hey guys [MENTION=4376151]short_sam[/MENTION] here,

So for a while now I've realized that your devices don't get the features explained that you would benefit from. So I would like to propose a video series where I explain these 'features' or innovations that make things easier for you. If you would like to me to feature your Rom, Bootloader, Recovery, or even news in my video shoot me a pm, a tweet, a Facebook message, or G+ hangout. My twitter name is short_sam, my G+ is +Sam Short, my facebook username is samshort13, my email is shortsamshort@gmail.com. What will happen basically, is you will send me a video request and I will try my best to cover it in the video. I hope to bring to light what all of you amazing developers have been working on. You guys honestly have saved me a lot of trouble when it comes to support for my phones. I look forward to working with you all! The op will be updated as new videos are added.

-Thanks fellow xda members!

Hi guys, First of all sorry but i'm very confused...

[Unlocked bootloader and CM 10 (Kernel and Rom from FreeXperia Project)]

1) Screenshot 1

On task manager (default one) i see two "Google Services" (one is hidden on screenshot) process and one "Google Play services".

I don't understand the reason. "Google Play services" i think it's for Play store, but when i use Play store the process is different on tasks (i see on Play Store's icon)!

I don't think i'm using other google apps...

First Google Services says on description Google locationM..but i disable Gps and i haven't installed any maps apps.

Second Google Services says on description GcmService and google messaging....

I'm very confused. I don't use Google Talk or Hangout. Only google app i thougt i had are google search (google now) and Play Store.

I have also two WeChat process, why?

2) Screenshot 2

I don't think is the same problem but why are there 2 android Os and System? Both regarding CPU usage...is it normal?

Sorry for these noob question, i hope someone will help me =( Thanks XDA!

Hi guys,

My device is Sony PRS-T2 ereader. It's rooted. It has nice stock browser and I want to stick with it. Though i has a drawback, can't download all the file types, even some ebooks inepub format. To add this functionality there's apk https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55206676/EBookDownloader.apk I use and everything works fine.

When I open a book, popup window appears offering me the choice to open with.. from the apps installed on my eReader, which is completely fine.

Among the apps there's EBookDownloader, I want to remove it from the list, but it should stay installed on the system for the functionality it adds to the web browser.

I think to be able to do this I need to adit EBookDownloader.apk and re-install modified apk, but I don't know what to change. Please, help. Many thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chaembian:
Hi

My recently acquired a 'NOS' AT&T HTC One X that came with factory firmware 2.20.502.7 710RD and wanted to flash a AOSP ROM. Towards this end, I have unlocked using djrbliss' excellent unlock utility and I have also installed TWRP 2.6.0.0. I chose to install AOKP, but from the discussion thread, it looks like AOKP (and CM) requires 3.18 RUU applied.

Questions:

Do I need to relock the bootloader?

The CID is 11111111. Should this be reverted back?

Is there a way to apply the RUU from Linux?

The device is currently S-ON. Should it be S-OFF to apply RUU?

Thank you!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
All you need to do is get s-off. Then you don't need to worry about locking your bootloader, you can just run the RUU. Please post your bootloader details though.

Thank you! The hboot version is 1.14. I tried S-OFF using the facepalm method; I guess I was not fast enough to reboot at the 92 error. Getting 99 error, so working through ChongoDroid's method from Page 17 to get a pass at it again.

Downloaded ViperXL 3.2.3. In step 4.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chaembian:
Successful in setting up S-OFF. Through TWRP 2.6.0.0, I restored the nandroid back-up of the 2.20 stock rom in preparation of the 3.18 update. Running the 3.18 RUU in Windows 8, I'm getting Error 170 or Error 171. :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I think 170 is a usb error. Put your phone in fastboot mode and then run the RUU.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chaembian:
Windows cannot see the phone when the phone is in hboot. 'adb devices' lists the device, 'adb reboot bootloader' gets into bootloader; 'fastboot devices' returns nothing. I see a 'My HTC' with yellow exclamation in the Device Manager.

The Windows has the latest HTC Sync Manager installed.

(Only for the RUU I'm using Windows; Unlock and S-OFF were done using Linux)

It's way too late; I'm gonna sleep for a bit before the dawn. I'll resume working on this in sometime.

For those interested in an excellent, form-fitting, comfortable, and inexpensive case, I highly recommend getting the Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit case from Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E6N68QM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got mine earlier this week and I love it. Perfect cutouts for the buttons and ports, and feels great in the hand. I got the clear one, so the sides, top, and bottom are completely clear, with the back having a frosted look. Overall, if you're looking to customize and want the color to show through, this case is a great option. Here are a few pictures:

Enviado desde mi GT-N7100 usando Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Optimistic Pessimist:
I think your shooting in burst mode. Burst mode is designed to take multiple shots of an object, moving or not; and you can select the best photo of it, (whether it does it well or no is a different matter)

You can't take a panorama shot of a moving object, as the object will be moving faster than you can actually shoot.

To take a panorama shot, you'll need to switch to panorama mode

1) From the home screen, open the Camera app.

2) On the viewfinder screen tap the Settings icon.

3) Tap Shooting Mode, then Panorama in the camera mode list that pops up.

4) When you're ready to take the first shot, tap the camera icon and directional arrows appear. The app will then prompt you to pan left or right in landscape view.

5) As you pan, a guide appears onscreen. Use this to frame your panoramic shot.

6) Continue guiding the smartphone as smoothly as you can. The camera will automatically capture consecutive frames. It's easy!

7) Tap the camera icon again to stop capturing.

8) The camera will then link the shots into a single photo. The Note takes eight shots in total.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudi_b:
Hi

On the note 2 there seems to be something like the burst mode (not sure because i have the german version)

I takes 8 pictures in a row but i'm not sure if it selects the best one... but i think so;

It chooses one but shows you the whole row and you can manually select other pictures and if you continue the selected pictures will be saved

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
You do not need to deodex your entire rom. Only deodexing the android policy.jar file will suffice. Decompiling a jar file is slightly different from decompiling an apk. We do not use apktool to decompile jar files but execute these two commands - (First extract classes.dex from anroid policy.jar using winrar and place it in the same folder as smali.jar and baksmali.jar)

java -jar baksmali.jar -o classout/ classes.dex

Make any changes that you want to do now.

java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o new-classes.dex

Then rename new-classes.dex to classes.dex and put it back into the jar file.
