[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anna.A.:
Very good advice, thank you! However, that didn't do the trick either.

I found excellent instructions in how to fix the updater-script but the file could not be saved as original again after removing .txt.

I renamed it to .txt and fixed the script in EditPad, but the .txt was not written out TO be removed afterwards, (as on the instruction video) and there was no way to rename it in any other way.

I use Windows 7.

I'm now stuck with 4.0.4 and a wiped out phone on all data. ;-(

I can get internet access though SIM but WiFi doesn't work no more.

When trying to re-create my Google account (to get access to all my accounts and apps) it fails too ; "com.android.vending has stopped working".

I need my Link2SD to get acccess to what needs to be fixed, but that app is also gone. Root is also gone.

Also, when logged in to Google+ account I can see all my apps being installed and everything looks fine - BUT they are not installed on the phone no more and I need to re-install them, but I havent found any information in how to do that either!

I'm very stubborn so I will get this fixed and I will upgrade to JB, and with your help I will succeed! ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smos08:
i have been successful doing it like this. (you will need 7zip and notepad++)

right click on zip, open archive with 7zip

navigate to the updater-script file

copy to local HD (should come over as just a "file" with no extension)

right click and open with notepas++

use notepad++ to delete the entire line so there are no blank spaces at the top

save the file (ctrl+s) will not prompt for file type

go to open archive and delete updater-script from the rom ZIP (using delete button in 7zip)

drag your local copy (the one we edited with notepad++) onto the zip and it will copy it in

close DO NOT SAVE just close the window

copy rom to phone/sd then flash
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anna.A.:
Ah, so that's how to save it! "save the file (ctrl+s) will not prompt for file type" - very good to know, THANK YOU!

However, I have managed to fix iCM 10.1 t with help of AIO Tookit and have now 4.2.2 installed,

but

the only thing not working (and I do not find the answer to anywhere) is that the SD card is not recognized.

I have formatted it with SDFormatter but still it's not found by the camera and spent hours and hours google for answers.

Maybe you know the answer to how to fix that too?

I am running [ROM][4.0.4] Slim ICS(T959V)-UNOFFICIAL posted by beastmode, Question is there a more updated kernel I could use with it ?

I am thinking either [KERNEL]Proton Kernel build2[ICS][TFQ] or [Kernel]ICS/CM9 LZ Kernel from Team Fah-Q (Updated 20OCT12)

I am very happy with this ROM and GPS is working great (after a few hacks from other threads) but battery life is the worst !!! I lose 5% when using Waze/GPS plugged into the car charger and about 20% overnight just sitting there, I have tried all sorts of battery apps as well as turning off wifi at night with no luck. So I am thinking that a new kernal would help.

I only use the phone for GPS and Web browsing.

Has anyone used these kernels and with what ROMS ?

Interesting in upgrading not bricking my phone and installing everything from scratch :)

yes i am a newbie so apologies in advance ! Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Neither of those kernels (nor, really, anything else) is going to make Waze or any other GPS app stop using as much power as they do. If you wanted to change your scheduler and governor, those might make a difference... but anything with working GPS is a Herring kernels using the same paths to talk to the GPS.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eramm:
Thanks for taking the time to answer. Even if GPS is a battery sucker what can I do about the fact that leaving the phone on takes so much battery ?

Could you suggest other stable kernel/ROMS for the SGH-T959V that support GPS and have decent battery life ? I like the simplicity of ICS and since all I do with this phone is browse the web and use GPS I really don't need any bells and whistles.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
The two best ICS at the moment are probably Ultragen 1.01 (be sure NOT to use 1.00) or HebMIUI, which is the only ICS that still gets irregular updates.

The big thing to do with Waze is, if you don't NEED to stare at the screen, turn it off and just listen to the audio directions. Sucks down a LOT less battery that way, though it's still a bit painful.

Regarding general ways of improving battery life... look into Greenify if you haven't yet. Can tell apps to stop running in the background if you don't actually want them to. Just remember NOT to Greenify Waze if you don't want it to shut down with the screen off, or your music app, or anything else you actually want to use while you're not actively looking at it. Oh, and avoid Greenifying your email too. Though it's funny, it's not a good way to find out about new messages. :)

Search before asking. Someone has likely already asked.

Spell your words completely, and use punctuation. It confuses people when you use "u" and "ur" and "dat", or when you wrongly use "there/their/they're/your/you're".

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andi2398:
Hi,

if you download the right build from CyanogenMod 10 there is no problem, watch out for "I9100" in the buildname.

But if you want to stay on stock it would maybe help if you do an factory reset in the recovery ;)

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyko.Tech67:
Hello! I am curious on a feater of the LG G2 im heartset on it and my only concern is that you cannot get the brightness toggle in your notification bar? I am aware that the ATT version and international have it out of the box and was curious if there is an option anywhere in the phone to activate it on the verizon G2?

Thanks in advance!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jspradling7:
I have not seen a mod for it yet. I also like having the slider on the notification bar or status display but it's because I never use the auto brightness on other phones.

The G2 has an adjustable auto brightness. I set the auto brightness to the level I like and I have not messed with it since. The adjustable auto brightness is a rarely talked about but very useful feature of the G2 for me. It is a little bit slow making it's adjustments but that doesn't bother me. Overall, it does an excellent job of keeping the brightness at a level I would pick if I were adjusting it myself.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burtonboarder:
Mine has it...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jspradling7:
Mine has the toggle too, but since the other carriers have the slider and Verizon doesn't, I was guessing the question was about that.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burtonboarder:
Yeah after reading your post I became confused about what the question was. It wouldn't let me edit my post though.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitzaf:
Verizon has it. Its not on the bar by default, IIRC, but you can edit the bar contents and enable the button, along with a whole slew of others. You can take off things like QuickRemote, QSlide, etc. as well, which some people have said they don't want.

There are so many settings and tuning methods for this phone, I haven't needed any mods at all yet. The only one I'm thinking of doing is the nav bar mods to hide when not needed or change button combinations.

Hi,

When using Google maps, if I set a destination and navigate to it, the ma just sits there and doesn't move when I drive off, nor does my location on it.

However if I stay on Google maps, and drive about my position is updated correctly but obviously I can't navigate that way.

I tried mapquest and that works with no problem as an alternative, but what the he'll it's wrong with maps?

Any ideas, I've already cleared Google maps in the apps section?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bag-o-droid:
Sorry to reply without adding to the issue, but as I had not come across other's with this issue I want to confirm that Maps on my Galaxy S2 with Android 4.1.2 also does not update my position once I start navigating to my destination. But it does find my location before my destination is set.

EDIT: can anyone suggest a good place to put this query so that a Google employee takes note of it?

Edit 2: I reported the bug from within the Google Maps application. Hope there is some result.

[Asus Transformer TF700] techcrazy101:
Hi can anyone help me plz i am trying to install FLATLINE[ on my tf700t running cromix 5.03 i decided to post in general section since i cant post in development thread as yet.

I have successfully setup fastboot and installed drivers etc on my computer, (im using windows 8)

But every time i enter fastboot command (fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery flatline_tf700) i get error: cannot load flatline_tf700 :no error

I have attached a screen shoot of the fastboot command. I have the flatline_tf700 img in the same folder where i installed minimal ADB and fastboot tool.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Looks like you don't, or you mistyped the file name, or you forgot the file extension.
[Asus Transformer TF700] techcrazy101:
Omg thanks _that the spelling of the file was wrong i got it to work i successfully generated the blobs but i dont know what i should do now

Please adb pull /data/media/AndroidRoot

Where do i type this on the same cmd on computer or do i need to reboot devices and use terminal on device to do this sorry for being so noobie been trying all day to get this working:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] techcrazy101:
I tried the adb pull/data/media/AndroidRoot on the miminal fastboot tool but it just says waiting for devices and nothing happens.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
To use adb, the device must be in Android with USB debugging on.
[Asus Transformer TF700] techcrazy101:
Wew this thing is harder than i taught, thanks for clearing things up for me.

Ok now another problem adb is running im able to identify that my device is connected by typing adb devices all is good.

The problem now is that when i type adb pull/data/media/AndroidRoot it doesnt work it just list the different adb commands i also tried adb pull /tmp/AndroidRoot from the tutorial but this doesnt work either and i made sure i checked spelling its all good.

Im able to navigate to data/media/AndroidRoot using ES file explorer and the blob.bin file is in there.

So i decided to boot into apx mode and was successful but when i run wheelie.exe from computer the black pop up box (cmd window) just opens for like a sec and closes i think it says specify blob file or something like that. So i copied the blob.bin file from tablet using es explorer and then copied it to my computer where the wheelie.exe file is but still no luck. Im really stressed trying to do this am i doing something wrong?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
You don't run wheelie directly.... Put it with your blob file and fastboot, and adb and nvflash than execute it from your terminal. Hope that hleps

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
You forgot the space after "pull".

That works only directly after creating the blobs while still booted inside the recovery.

Open the cmd window first, then run wheelie with the correct command line options as described in the guide.
[Asus Transformer TF700] techcrazy101:
Finally i am finished :D thanks again _that:good: one last thing the following command:

nvflash --resume --go Isn't that supposed to continue booting tablet into android it just says resume mode in cmd nothing happens, so i just held the power button to reboot tablet.
[General Questions and Answers] uZveruga:
Hi all!

That was my first tablet and I did a very stupid thing. I've deleted all the *.odex files from the "system/app" folder.

Now the tablet hangs when booting, just shows the animated "android" logo, forever.

The "ADB" and "AndroidCommander" do not see it. I learned how to use recovery mode, making "update.zip" files and it works. So I can copy/delete/set permissions to the files in the system. But I need the original odex files.

I tried to take them from the other tablets firmwares, with Android 4.0, but with no luck.

So I want to ask the owners of MID1060 - please make a copy of all ".odex" files from the "system/app" folder and give it to me?

Please do not judge strictly, I was noob. :(

rom coby kyros mid1060

Hello

Anyone have stock rom to revive coby kyros mid1060? I can't find anywhere! I've tried several rom's from other tablet's but no sucess. I' ve find stock mid1065, seem's have same hardware mid1060, but the tablet shutdown before the flash end. I've tried also a flash from viewsonic, sometimes the tablet boot with small image, other times stay black screen with the light on. I realy need a stock rom to unbrick it.

Can you please give me the stock rom for coby kyros mid1060 cos i got setup wizard problem :(
[General Questions and Answers] uZveruga:
What's the problem? Sometimes it is safer to solve the problem, than reflashing the tablet. (it's always risky)
[General Questions and Answers] TinyFlare:
I got this setup wizard loop at the start. so i guess i need to reflash it or do you know to repair this unlimited setup loop?
[General Questions and Answers] uZveruga:
There are several ways to fix it.

The easiest:

----

Boot tablet to recovery mode, then:

"wipe data/factory reset"

"wipe cache partition"

"wipe media partition"

Reboot, do the first setup wizard. Reboot to see if the problem solved.

----

There are more complex ways, they worth to try if the first did not help.

The tablet is new? His warranty is still valid? Have you tried to install Google apps?
[General Questions and Answers] TinyFlare:
well i did that but still the setup wizard is looping as usual. i think the last resort is to have the stock rom. can you help me get stock rom?

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------

The warranty i think is now void if im not mistaken so its most likely my responsible now. *sigh*
[General Questions and Answers] uZveruga:
As I know, the warranty is valid until you not getting "root" or did a reflashing the tablet.

Can you give more information about this setup wizard loop?

For example - variants:

1)The tablet was new, not used, you turned it on and got this.

2)You have used it for a while, doing nothing ordinary and suddenly got a loop.

3)You did something, and it is caused the problem. If this true - what you did?

What the error exactly?

1)Setup wizard is running, you complete it and can use the tablet, but after rebooting you see this wizard again.

2)The Wizard closes with an error message?

3)Something else?

I can give you the firmware, but it does not work for all people. So before flashing - be sure to make a backup of your current firmware of the tablet so you can get it back in case of problems.

----- How to make a backup -----

1) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/43236304/Coby/boot.zip - this is clockworkmod for coby, running without installing. Download it and put to your SDcard. File system of the SDcard must be FAT32.

2) Set tablet to the recovery mode. To do this, turn on the tablet, while holding down the volume down "-" button. (when you'll see the logo COBY - you can release the button)

3) Select "apply update from sdcard", then select "boot.zip".

Wait, untill starts the "CWM-based Recovery v.5.5.0.4 7065 by Vampirefo".

4) Select "backup and restore".

5) Select "Backup", and do the backup of the internal storage.

After all of that - on your SDcard will be folder

clockworkmod/backup/*YourBackupDateAndTime*/

----- How to restore my backup -----

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/43236304/Coby/Coby MID1060 firmware (clockworkmod backup).zip - 121 MB

1) Put the "boot.zip" file and the "clockworkmod" folder to the root of your SDcard. File system of the SDcard must be FAT32.

2) Set tablet to the recovery mode. To do this, turn on the tablet, while holding down the volume down "-" button. (when you'll see the logo COBY - you can release the button)

3) Select "apply update from sdcard", then select "boot.zip".

Wait, untill starts the "CWM-based Recovery v.5.5.0.4 7065 by Vampirefo".

4) Select "backup and restore".

Now you have a choice:

a) restore only "system" partition to factory default.

b) restore the full contents of the tablet, include boot, cache, data, etc.

In case of a) :

1) Select the "advanced restore".

2) Select "2013-10-31.08.27.13".

3) Select "system".

4) Choose "Yes - Restore" and wait until the end.

5) Reboot.

In case of b) :

1) Select "Restore".

2) Select "2013-10-31.08.27.13".

3) Choose "Yes - Restore" and wait until the end.

4) Reboot.

I suggest that you try 'a' first.

I never had a problem when rooted. The only problem that I had when rooted and doing OTA is that you lose root. Just make sure you get voodoo OTA rootkeeper to save root. You installed link2sd, busybox, deleted some apps that came with the phone, installed cwm or something that modified the system. Make a backup via cwm, then download a clean v20f here then wait for the update. Good Luck!!!
