I did do total wipes before each install. I wiped the cache, did factory resets, and wiped the delvik cache.

When I try "fastboot erase userdata" it just says "waiting for device". I am at the CWM Recovery v5.5.0 main menu. Which mode should the tablet be in?
[Acer Iconia A500] mouhii:
First you need to be in fastboot mode, instead of going into CWM by pressing "volume down" while it's booting, press "volume up" and choose fastboot mode.

Also if you have an error message while doing that, maybe you'd like to take a look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1431907
[Acer Iconia A500] TurnNBurn:
That did it. I didn't know about the volume up option. I did the fastboot stuff, cleared the cache and did a factory wipe, re-installed CM-10 unofficial, and I just rebooted 8 minutes ago (I'm timing it.) still nothing. Just the cyanogenmod logo with the animated swirl going around in circles.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
there are 2 bat files with babsector.

after running the first one, you reboot to recovery and do a full wipe.

there is an option to "enable data/media" do that and it will fully wipe your device. I think its in the mounts and storage menu.

Once you do that flash your rom.

On reboot you must see "skrilqx_cz unlocked bootloader" displayed on-screen

If you don't have this then fastboot will not be available.

Rerun either babsector or the v8/v9.

To enter apx mode manually - You must be sure you are holding in the reset button...otherwise your tab will boot normally as you have found - using a paper clip ( or anything "non-pointy ended ) you will feel the button push in.

(Try holding the tab on its edge on your lap with the power button on your left and the reset button on top)

Press in and hold the reset button

Then press and hold the power button for about 3 seconds.

Then after a second or so release the reset button.

The time part isnt critical, its the delay between releasing the buttons thats important AND having the reset button puched in.

Once skrilax_cz is installed, you can enter "fastboot" by pressing power/vol up

Choose fastboot from the menu ( there may even be an option on the menu to wipe)

Connect your tab to yr pc and open a command prompt on the fastboot folder.

Enter your erase commands and then "fastboot reboot".

Oh and also - u said you were running stock ICS - if you lose your custom recovery and end up with the dead android screen, you will have to delete the .boot.p file as stated in the guides.
[Acer Iconia A500] mouhii:
I don't know if I'll be able to help you much more than that as I never faced that problem (well that one persisting never happened to me on the Iconia, it did on the SGS i9100 but it was because of a faulty kernel)

You could try to flash first a rom like the one from civato, RE-FLEXxx-ShellSHOCK, see how it goes, also are you formating flexrom ? (from advanced in CWM), it helped sometimes.

Btw I'm using CWM public recovery v0.2 (based on CWM 5.5.0.4, there's a thread in dev section), along with bootloader V8. Never had a problem using any rom with this one.

--edit

My bad, I said flexrom format was in advanced, it's in mount/storage menu.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Power off and reboot...it can take awhile to boot up,

go make a coffee:)

@TurnNBurn....howzit going????
[Acer Iconia A500] TurnNBurn:
I've only run the first batch file, batch file A.

I finally got it into APX mode, ran batch file A, and reset everything. However, there is no "enable data/media" option under the mounts and storage menu. I have:

mount /system

mount /data

mount /cache

mount /flexrom

mount /sdcard

and then for each mount option I have a format (format /system, format /data, etc...)

If I do have to delete the boot.p file, how is that done?

-edit-

This post was made 30 mintues ago and the cyanogenmod logo is still on the screen swirling after the new flash and reboot.

-edit 2-

45 +/- minutes now. I'm shutting it off again.

-third notoriously annoying edit-

I repeated the steps and tried a different ROM, CM 10 flex again. Still no joy. Been sitting at the animated boot screen for a few minutes now...and coffee is already made since the last ROM reboot.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
ok here we go...grab yr beverage of choice:)

boot.p file is a file on stock roms that overwrites your newly flashed custom recovery..if you still have cwm you dont need to worry bout it!

The reboot shouldnt take that long - maybe 10mins at most.

You will need to go in and wipe EVERYTHING twice! Yes twice!!

this means System, flexrom, Data and cache. After erasing/formatting System you will not have an OS so be sure to flash a rom before rebooting.

Either fastboot erase or cwm format - (choice is yours but I find fastboot just as easy but its unforgiving..you do not want to muck up in here!!!)

You may want to update to the latest cwm - heres a recovery.img http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2238701&d=1378452510

Put it in the folder where you have fastboot. Then boot to fastboot andenter

fastboot flash recovery cwm_1.7.3_recovery.img

EDIT: did u run the 2nd bat file from babsector??
[Motorola Atrix HD] madnesshero86:
:confused: I am having a problem with my wife's, Atrix HD. This just started out of no where with no changes or updates in phone/. When I open the camera app i just get a black screen with the controls but no camera image, the controls respond (change colors when pressed) but don't do anything and I never get a camera picture. after a while I usually get a camera is unable to initialize error. I have searched and either no one provides a solution that I haven't tried or theirs messed up after flashing a custom ROM which I haven't done. I have tried all the factory resets, clearing cache, clearing data in application management for camera and gallery and none of it helped as other have recommended. Out of frustration I rooted her phone so I could experiment with uninstalling the camera (and gallery) and installing other versions of camera (and gallery) from other phones/aosp/android versions ext. and then re-installing the stock ones all to no avail. I know that the all the cameras were working just a week ago and that the front facing camera was working in oovoo even after she started having trouble with the rear camera, but I cant get either of them to pull up now. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? I am leaning towards either a hardware issue or maybe the camera firmware was corrupted somehow and if this were the case does anyone know how to remedy it?

Let me know if you need any more info.

Thanks,

As a second user on this N7, I am unable to access the quick settings drop down. Is there a setting that is disabled for users other than the owner? I thought that maybe a different launcher was a work around, but that didn't work either. I'm using the latest Stock rooted ROM.

i am assuming i would use cwm recovery for this but i

want to be sure b4 i try i am not new to rooting but i have

nvr flashed a custom rom b4 and dont want to screw up a

brand new l710 after it took me hours to finally get it rooted

since it kept on saying unable to mount sd card

forgive me if this sounds like a newbie question

i want to install this rom so i will be able to use the hotspot

thanks in advance for any help

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigpappags3:
Yes you can use cwm to flash the rom. I believe if u Check in the general thread there are modded recoveries for the newer gs3s as sprint or Samsung has locked em down some what. Once you have ur recovery installed make a backup . Then I would do the normal routine anytime flashing a new rom and that is wipe ur cache, delvic cache, and factory reset...maybe even do them three times just to be sure it's all clear. Once done flash ur rom zip and enjoy!

Edit...Make sure to read the op of ur rom and follow any additional directions that the dev has laid out...

Also you will be told that questions go in the q&a section of the forum. ..and it will be moved...Just fyi

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
If you are having trouble getting the SD Card to mount in Recovery. Then you will need one of the modified Recoveries as mentioned. The link to the Modified Recoveries is below. After you have loaded the Recovery, and Rooted. In addition to making a Nandroid. I would suggest doing a Full Wipe before flashing. Meaning : System - Data - Dalvik Cache - Cache - Factory Reset. I also recommend wiping the Internal SD. Which I always do. But you can opt not to. Another thing I would highly recommend is verifying the MD5 checksum before flashing. That way you are assured that you have a good download. Anything else just post up on the Room thread. The people are always here to help ;) .

I am hoping to get a wizard as soon as they come out and it looks like O2 and Vodaphone will be first. Do both these carriers lock their phones? I currently have an Orange and a t-mobile account so would prefer to use my existing sims and just use the new account as a means to "spead the payment costs" (I got my jam for free 9 months ago for the price of a £22 p/m contract :))

If they do lock their phones does anyway know if the existing unlock methods will work.

On a different note, I much prefer the look of the qtek 9100 to the k-jam - are there any hardware differences apart from the look?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ccsnet:
I'm %90 sure they do... plus as a rule Vodafone butcher the firmware of most phones.

Get either a Imate or Qtek you should find it unlocked as its not a 'branded' phone.

I would suggest that buymobilephones.net is the best place as you can get one of the above with a contract... I am...

Hello to all. Got my Galaxy Tab 2 P3110 8gb on Monday and found a little problem in it: when I leave at minimum brightness and energy saving mode, in other words, when I leave the screen darker, I see the whole screen with brightness oscillation, increasing and decreasing, is very light but it is annoying. It does not occur when the brightness is higher. To illustrate: it is almost like a lamp burning. To perceive you need to stare at the screen, fixedly. Anyone have any suggestions other than the exchange of the product? Any change in the frequency of refresh of the screen, whatever ... Thanks everyone and sorry for English Google Translator lol

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] livebyknight:
After messing with the IR blaster for a while on the G2, I've found that though it has a narrow beam, its control is accurate and works with every IR controlled device I have.

So, the other day when messing with some Led strip lights under the bar, I thought about somehow using the IR blaster for controlling the lights.

The lights are 5050SMD RGB strips, controlled by a 12V control box that intercepts a signal from a remote that can change the color and brightness.

Couple months ago when we installed the lights, I looked up wireless control for LEDs and only found a solution with android phne wired to usb-to arduino connection. However, I never tried it out.

So to anybody out there, is it possible to create a signal from the IR blaster in a third party app or with root? I've also been looking at the Phillips Hue LED bulb APK to see if anything can be borrowed for this application.

Any ideas?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Knievel_Spirit:
Hey everyone,

First time post but I have a question I think others might be interested in as well. I'd like to create a simple method of charging my phone wirelessly in my vehicle but I have a few questions before I make a couple purchases.

1.)Will the LG WCP-300 charge through a galaxy s4 otterbox defender case?

2.) Will the Samsung Wireless Charging Back Cover be able to work with my galaxy s4 otterbox defender case (perhaps with a little pressure applied)? I've seen a post online where a user was able to get it to work. Anybody on XDA try it out?

3.)If I stuck a NFC tag on the LG WCP-300, will wireless charging still work fine? Will NFC work fine?

4.) Will the LG WCP-300 charge my phone if I have it plugged into the Pioneer DEH-X6500BT USB port? I know it may not charge quickly, but what I'm leaning towards is having GPS, bluetooth, NFC and music streaming from spotify while having the battery charge at least not decrease, or have it decrease slower.

5.) Will the NFC tag work through my galaxy s4 otterbox defender case and Samsung Wirless Charging Back Cover?

I've heard of the OwlPad, but the reason I don't want to use that particular setup is because I'm trying to cut down on the amount of cables running in my car (the reason I'm going wireless, and I've got a radar detector already hooked up and don't want to use a cigarette lighter socket adapter to run two gadgets). I know a cigarette lighter socket adapter might be able to charge it quicker, but if the USB port can provide enough power to at least keep the battery from draining while running GPS, bluetooth, NFC and music streaming from spotify, then I prefer that route. I'd also like to stick to the products mentioned since I'm kinda trying to avoid third party products.

Thank's in advance, and looking forward to hear back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Knievel_Spirit:
Thought I would add my findings encase anybody else has similar ideas they want to undertake!

1.) I can confirm the LG WCP-300 charges through the Otterbox defender case for my Galaxy S4.

2.)The samsung wireless charging back cover (by samsung for the galaxy s4, no third party) does indeed fit with the otterbox defender case for the galaxy s4. It fit it 100% okay, but you will feel a bit more weight and notice a difference. It feels like more girth, although it locks into place and has not came apart. I will warn that it is a snug fit, so if it doesn't work for you the first time, keep at it. It doesn't bulge, but you just gotta see it to know what im talking about, I'd say give it a shot. I found a half off accessory code online and bought it directly from samsung.

3.) have not tried a NFC chip on the wireless charger yet.

4.)The LG WCP-300 does work with the pioneer USB port. But be warned!! I thought the USB port wasn't going to work (10 foot cable is recommended if you want to run the cable and try hiding it, that's what I did), because the wireless pad didn't work on my first attempt. Gave up, brought it inside to use. The USB cable inside didn't work. I had tested it before, and it did work. Odd.... Turns out, a good amount of the USB cables have to much plastic near the micro USB head which prevent the cable from going into the wireless charger all the way. Shaved some of the plastic on the cable in my car and.....got it to work. Wireless charging working in the vehicle via USB port.

5.)NFC does work through the case. Tried it with a Nexus 7 tablet and communications worked as long as it sat at the sweet spot (which I'm sure is fairly standard).

The next step for me is fallowing the guide to root the phone (thanks XDA community!!) and then fallow a different users guide on xda (Sorry, I'd post links and directly link but I haven't reached the post limit to do so quite yet) to allow unlock the phone via NFC while the phone is locked and the screen is off.

NFC running 24/7-->Place on Wireless charger with NFC chip-->Unlocks phone, sets it to not turn the screen off, turns off wifi, turns on bluetooth and connects to receiver, and starts spotify. Remove phone from NFC and all settings revert back.

Will post back (or create new post?) when it's all accomplished, maybe a video if people are interested??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Exel:
I'm interested in pictures, sounds like a neat idea.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cynagen:
The NFC will only read the chip so long as to enable the mode. It does not act as a proximity sensor and will not "revert" back to it's normal operation. Keeping an NFC chip in range the phone will ignore it after it first reads it. You will either need NFC Tasker or some other app to make it a "switching" tag where you can lift your phone off, tap it again to return to normal mode and then go on your way, or another tag stuck somewhere else to trigger going back to normal, maybe perhaps on the car keys?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Knievel_Spirit:
Yes the post that talks about unlocking the phone has tasker involved with reverting the settings back. On another post it mentions unlocking the phone by keeping NFC on 24/7. The app I'm looking at is NFC Unlocking by MohammadAG, and work also done by Madfish73.

I should also mention that I'm trying to follow the directions here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2306247) to add home-screen rotation, but as they mention cyanogenmod, I'm not sure if this will work with the stock touchwiz on the galaxy s4....any thoughts?

Ultimate rotation control worked great for my galaxy s1, but the s4 is a little buggy. Nova launcher works great for the homescreen rotation, but the lockscreen rotation is absent in nova launcher. Looking to have both rotate.
