[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACaton:
Hey there. Here is my experience with doing what was mentioned in this thread.

I had CWM installed. I downloaded the official Asus stock ROM and followed the fastboot instructions above. The official ROM over wrote everything. Took about ... maybe 5 minutes total. The new official ROM worked like a charm.

I then reinstalled TWRP. No issues. I used TWRP to install Cromi-X, which is awesome. Also, no problems.

The only thing I found weird, is that I had cleared all cache etc. and I thought I had deleted all my data by doing so, but everything on my "Internal SD Card" was there even after I installed a fresh copy of Cromi-X.

As for what blob you should use (and I'm STILL A NEWB) I'm pretty sure you need to match the blob to the type of tablet you have. If you go into : Settings --> About Tablet --> Kernel version, (pretty sure that's the right spot) you should see something like "WW_epad" or "US_epad".

Over all, this was one of the most simple "tech" processes I've ever experienced.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbranquinho:
Thx for the alert, I already have the correct blob for my tablet.

The process work fine and now I have the JB installed on my Tablet!

Thx.

Just wanted to let you guys know how to unroot the AT&T Galaxy Note 3 especially since it looks like you have to do some digging to find the correct files for the SM-N900A Galaxy Note 3.

I have created a step by step guide: Here

can you at least put a warning up, if you are on MJ5 and you try this method you will brick your device?

Thanks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Arty Dodger:
What if you are on MI1, can you still do the MJ9 one click and upgrade to MJ9 unrooted?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] D3nkianma:
dead link

I have been looking for a way to unroot my n900a and everywhere i have gone the files needed leave me at a dead link...can anyone help with this a mirror or am I missing something here?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Solarenemy68:
If you rooted with Kingo, just unroot using the unroot commend in SU. After a couple of restarts everything will be back to normal. This also works on MJ5..
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] JAMedlock83:
Sorry, but this doesn't work.

I keep getting a "FAILED" message.

i have a friend who works for Samsung mobile and she tried putting on kitkat from her work laptop. The firmware she has comes directly from Samsung but it wouldn't let her because it kept reading that my phone had been rooted. i had used this app ginger unroot to supposedly remove my root but it apparently didn't work. I would like to know if i use this method will that by pass the message?

Odin Fails

Hi I have my AT&T Note 3 currently rooted but want to put it back to normal. I never changed the ROM and Knox hasn't been tripped. But what I did was uninstall certain apps that were preloaded with out backing them up first. Also my wifi decided to not work anymore and I cant do any updates. So I decided I wanted to reinstall stock firmware. I downloaded the firmware from SamMobile and used Odin 3.09 like it was recommended. But every time I try Odin Fails. I also tried this method as well and Odin fails. I tried mulitple cords, usb ports, and different computers. Here is what the Odin log says

anyone know why it wont update on 9100?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] nusaf:
Just like the title,which one you would prefer?

What I can see,the big upgrade from Mini 1 to Mini 2 is the display.It is now the so called retina display.But I think Mini 2 will cannibalize iPad Air because the only drawback in Mini 1 is display.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] z0phi3l:
Nexus 7, all the benefits of a small tablet, better than retina screen, and no retarded apple closed garden
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] roytse:
Nothing better than the openness of android, and the possibilities that it can bring.

Plus I love widgets, way more convenient than rows and columns of icons laying on the home screen.

Plus I love swype typing.

Plus I'm a poor college student.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Oliv3:
I like android as much as everyone here, but saying the N7 display is better than the apple retina display is just borderline mental...

and why compare something that's 2x the cost? how is that even fair...? If the N7 is $400, I'm pretty sure Google would've crammed better stuff into the tablet to compete with others around the $400 price range.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] TheWerewolf:
Well, this is kind of a biased question - most people here will be Nexus 7 fans (you know - we bought one).

That being said...

The cheapest Retina iPad mini is the 16GB WiFi at $400.

The 32 GB Nexus 7 + LTE is $350.

The closest equivalent iPad mini is $630...

That kind of sums it up for me.

I also prefer the N7's smaller size. I can carry it in my jacket pocket. I can't do that with the iPad mini. If I want to carry a bag - I'll carry a full sized tablet.

---------- Post added at 11:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 PM ----------

It's a fair comparison - they're both aimed at the same end users - people who want small, highly portable tablets.

As for the retina display being better - exactly what are your criteria for this? The N7 has a slightly lower DPI than the Retina iPad mini (319 vs 326). The mini has more actual pixels, but it's actually a larger screen (7.9 vs 7.0).

You're also arguing sort of backwards... you're suggesting that if the N7 were more expensive, it would have more in it (and thus be better competition for the iPad mini, I'm assuming). Except that's a weird way to look at it. The N7+LTE already is significantly cheaper than the nearest equivalent Retina iPad mini and offers a similar set of features. But if you drop down to the N7 you get more features - GPS is included.

The CPU in the Retina iPad mini is more powerful, but we've yet to see meaningful benchmarks to show that this translates into anything meaningful for the use. The whole 64bit vs 32bit is mostly smoke at the moment since almost nothing uses it.

And now that Android support BTLE, more and more companies are making Android apps for their BT devices, so we're catching up there.

The Retina iPad mini isn't a bad device, but it's simply not 80% better than the N7.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Oliv3:
Lol...seriously? I can't....here you win.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] NekroWolfen:
As a fomer owner of all the iPad generations(til' 4th), I assure you no iPad will ever "seduce" me again with these "pretty" marketing money-grabbing devices. No way I'm going back to a closed OS... not after getting use to the liberty I have with Android, plus the Nexus 7 has really respectful features even thou is $100 cheaper.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] dud3me:

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] lomonic:
Isn't nexus 7 PPI 323 vs apple iPad mini retina of 324? I would be surprised if anyone can tell the diff
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Death666Angel:
Official specs from the apple store say 326 for the iPad Mini 2 and google play store says 323 for the Nexus 7-2. But my favorite PPI calculator website (http://members.ping.de/~sven/dpi.html) says 324 for the iPad Mini 2. Might be that their display is actually a hair different than 7.9" (wasn't it 7.85"?) which would make it 326 again. Anyway, they are virtually identical. If you are interested in a larger display, Apple will give you that with the iPad Mini. But I'm pretty sure 8" high-res displays from Android makers are just around the corner, too.

Hardware is on par for these devices in my book. Nexus 7 is much cheaper still. So it comes down to your preference of iOS and the larger footprint.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] swisstourist:
IPad weight 40g more... No gps, no wireless charging and cost more for less.

Sweet!

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Wrngway:
I didn't believe you at first. I had to go check. I can see the reasoning behind not including GPS, but I think it's flawed. So much for offline navigation apps.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] volwrath:
The big difference is the A7 processor found in the mini2. Although the N7s S4 Pro is good, the A7 is probably twice as fast.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] The S3 Kid:
The iPad mini got thicker and heavier. lol
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ppn7:
Display consumption is better for the nexus 7, i saw in battery thread that someone reach 24h of screen on time in one charge.

With the ipad mini i think it's juste about 12hours in same condition.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] swisstourist:
500mb iPad mini 2

2gb nexus 7
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] littleromeo:
Ipad mini 2 has better screen, looks, processor, apps. N7 scores everywhere else.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] NekroWolfen:
Screen, debatable(hard for human eye to notice the ppi difference), looks, debatable(your personal preference), processor, yes(A7 supposedly is better), apps, debatable(depending on which apps you really use).

At the end is mostly about what you prefer :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] NovaSlim:
Hardware wise:

I prefer 16:10 over 4:3, better HD video playback experience. Other users might prefer 4:3

Nexus 7 is going to be significantly narrower & lighter, easier to hold single handed and can go into jacket pockets easier

Battery life should be about equal, although I have confidence Nexus 7 would come out ahead(as it already beats non-retina Mini)

Software wise:

Widgets, Launchers etc makes the Android Homescreen experience much more customization and enjoyable imo.

The openess of a Nexus 7 to ran various ROMs & kernels in addition to AOSP, something closed iOS can't compete.

Plus the Price difference of $170 ($229 vs $399)

Unless you really need a 7.9" 4:3 Tablet, I don't see how Ipad Mini appeals over Nexus 7. If you view Nexus 7 is too small, there are other HD android tablet such as the LG Gpad 8.3 (Pity its ppi is a bit lower and it isn't a Nexus).
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] swisstourist:
170$ plus Tax...

So around 200$ difference.... Urgh,!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] goofball2k:
Both are interesting devices.

The apps for my kids are better on iOS than on Android.

Screen, to me, is a wash.

Different devices for different people. I don't compare the 2, especially with the price gap in between.

I might get an iPad mini for the kids for the apps, and iOS familiarity since they have iPod touch's so it is familiar to them.

Note that they are 4 and 1.5yrs old, not old kids. Oldest does know how to use Android as he has used my N7 2012 and 2013 versions without any problems.

I like them both for their own reasons.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] lomonic:
Totally concur on this point. If it's a tablet for a kid (and if i would actually buy one for my kid) it would be an iOS tablet.

Having had a mixture of tablets (including failed HP Touchpads loaded with android now), i have been most pleasant with the Nexus 7 2013, primarily for it's size, dimension, weight and resolution. I have no complaints other than the seldom wonky touchscreen. I would totally pay the same price of an iPad Mini 2 for a Nexus 7 or 8 if the quality of the touchscreen is "perfect". Let's just hope KitKat does something to make it better.

I can't imagine getting another iOS tablet (mini or not) of the same 4:3 Aspect Ratio and OMG same icons-laid interface like Gen-1 iOS :S yawnz

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Vip_blast:
I sold my iPad mini first gen on this Monday, and I bought the Nexus 7 2013 the day the iPad mini 2 was announced. Even with the better display,I still don't see myself being productive with that tablet. I also hate that screen ratio as well as the way iOS 7 works. Had a jailbreak been out, I might have kept the iPad mini then.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] looker1:
One more to all what have been said It is easy - try to hold Ipad mini in one hand as you do with your "normal" phone...and than try it with Nexus! Even my wife is able to hold Nexus, but no way for Ipad Mini.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] CCT1:
True, and actually I probably would not have gotten a tablet at all because he said long ago that no one would want to watch video on a small screen like a tablet....LOL
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] msavic6:
Is it so hard to fathom that peoples opinions change over time?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] unnamedny:
it's hard to compare something at such a different price ranges. If you take all the aspects plus put a huge accent on price, Nexus is a clear winner. For some reason most comparisons forget to mention price points.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] msavic6:
Yeah, the nexus 7 price is very attractive, you can have an LTE enabled version for $350 while the cheapest Wifi iPad Mini is still $50 bucks more. But, in that respect, the nexus 7 does come with some issues like the multi touch issue, now I havent read about it that much to know if it is a hardware or software fault but I do not want to have to deal with multitouch issues again(Nexus One).

I know that me and most of the people I know would rather pay $500 for a device that fully meets our needs vs. $350 for a device that partially meets our needs. I consider a tablet to be a long term investment compared to a smartphone so paying more in the begining in order to have a more enjoyable experience is well worth it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] unnamedny:
Only certain number of devices have this issue screen issue you are describing and its being taken care of. Ofcause there will be trade ins at that price range. I got my N7 gen2 for $170 and I'm not planning to whine about it any time soon. It's not a fare comparison, you can compare Honda to Toyota, but not Honda to Mercedes. That's exactly what N7 vs mini 2 is.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] freemini:
It's been pretty long and touch response hasn't gotten better. If KitKat doesn't fix it, it's probably hardware. I've never had touch issues with any other device that I can remember using, that said Nexus 7 is still significantly cheaper for not that much worse specs. It's also much smaller, which is preference.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mi7chy:
For a one hand device the Nexus 7 2013 is designed for human hand while the iPad Mini 2 is designed for chimp hand.

Nexus 7 2013 with 2GB DRAM is better at task switching. iPad Mini with a measly 512MB DRAM has a tendency to close apps in the background along with whatever you were working on means lost work.

No GPS with iPad Mini WIFI model.

A7 in iPhone 5s suffers from blue screen of death and it's not clear if the defect has been fixed yet.

iOS 7 is designed for children.

Apple services are inferior compared to Google's.

Paying more for less. iPad Mini 2 32GB with cellular $629 vs Nexus 7 32GB with cellular $349.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
IMO I wouldn't really consider any tablet a long-term investment.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] msavic6:
Maybe not in the respect that I will make money on it but in comparison to a smartphone that will become out of date in a few months, a tablet has an extended period of usage.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] vcbacon@hotmail.com:
Apps

Apps are an issue with me.

While I adore my Nexus 7 2, lots of apps come first for the iPad and only secondarily for Android.

Then many are phone based, not tablet based.

I'm planning to buy the iPad Air for the larger form factor and for access to some strategic apps for web designers and real estate brokers.

When trade groups feature iPad apps, you can loose a competitive edge if you don't follow suit.

Even Occipital's Structured Sensor, while supporting both platforms, started with iPad development and focus.

So, soon I'll be living in two world.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Si73:
A bit off topic. I used to have an iPad 3 and nexus 7 2013. I take the nexus 7 more or less everywhere with me. Since the release of iOS 7 and making the ipad laggy and less smooth, I decided to get sell it and just use the nexus 7. Although at times I miss the larger screen I have no issues with it what so ever. It's a great tablet and I will defiantly buy another nexus tablet over an iOS Device in the future. Especially as big game/app releases are coming out at the same time as iOS with the same if not better quality.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] swisstourist:
And u need I tune.

Who want a tablet which need to be plug on a pc all the time to transfer music or movies?

Not me!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zwuncki:
I own an iPad Mini which I was quite happy with. Though the display and specs are outdated, and sometimes you could feel it.

I was a big apple fan years ago, owned many iPhones. I don't anymore, the reason is lack of innovation and higher prices each year, not even the same high prices like last year... No, apple stuff gets more expensive each year.

So the reason for still owning an iPad were two things: First I own many iTunes movies, converting them takes a lot of time which I don't have. Second here in Germany the magazines you get from the App Store are quite a lot. Only few magazines have an android app here. Most magazines I read on my iPad Mini are free because of a print subscription. Now with Android this not unimportant stuff is missing. And... here you get iTunes gift cards 20%-30% off very often. So buying a magazine subscription through iTunes Store is 20-30% cheaper than on Android. We don't have that here with Android/Google Play gift cards. Magazines section should be available here till the end of november but I guess it will be much more expensive. And I don't think they have the selection on Android like they have on iOS.

And besides surfing the net on the go, reading magazines is the most important feature to me on a small 7-8inch tablet! And for that the iPad Mini 4:3 screen format is way better, as is the 16:9 Nexus 7 format for movies.

And Apple/iTunes is still way ahead there, at least here in Germany.

Still I decided to check out the Nexus 7 32GB LTE and am quite impressed with the display and the look and feel (just got it).

If only magazine subscriptions would get cheaper here and more variety of magazines... And a 64GB version is missing. Some people wanna watch some movies, have their photo collection with them, listen to some music etc.

I still haven't decided if I keep the Nexus 7 or buy the new Mini, or maybe keep the Nexus 7 and the old Mini? But why two small tablets. At the mo I just love the Mini for magazine reading and browsing the web more than the Nexus 7. It's just too much 16:9 :D ...

Still a 250€ cheaper Nexus 7 for the same specs would change a lot of people's minds if they weren't apple fanboys.

iPad Mini 2 is just way too expensive. Only apple fans or people with too much money will buy that. I don't know anyone not already owning an old iPad (Mini) who wants to buy one. All are looking for android alternatives because of one simple thing: PRICE!

PS: OK my Mini is about a year old but with iOS7 battery life is much worse than before and Nexus 7s battery life is amazing from what I can tell. First charge (should improve with time), played and installed a lot and still more than 50%. That's really really amazing... Hard for me to decide...

And I'm still looking for a browser working good with the very narrow 16:9 display, a browser to pimp to my likings. I love the iOS Safari browser and would like a browser like/similar to that fro my Nexus 7. I don't like Chrome very much.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] freemini:
True, but you still need rather large hands to use even a Nexus with one hand.

Not true, Mini 2 probably has 1GB. It's not as much as Nexus, but it will easily handle 4-5 apps at a time.

True again.

This only happened in Pages, not system wide.

Subjective.

Subjective.

Depends how you look at it, but I agree it's not worth almost twice the price.

I would never even consider buying a single Apple product, because it is an evil malicious company. Think about this before you give your money to Apple: they will use it tot hire more lawyers and file more patents to further monopolize the market.

No other big tech company uses patents so aggressively as apple does. I think we should all teach Apple a lesson and boycott all their products and services until they quit this patent war.

Anyone else here doubts how A7 in iPad Mini 2 will cope up with that sort of resolution especially in graphic intense games? iPhone 5S runs games fine but its resolution is much much ower, I seriously doubt how mini 2 will play them
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] freemini:
I doubt it's an issue, iPad 4 is already fine and A7 is faster than that. It might not be as fast as the 5S though.
