[Asus Transformer TF700] Dajinn:
I just purchased a refurbished TF700T and keyboard dock from BuyDig for 269.99. Pretty good price. I briefly owned a TF700T before, and did notice the sluggishness out of the box, but a 1200p tablet for practically $170 is hard to beat. When I had originally owned it, I was aware of CleanROM cleaning up Asus' slow eMMC mess, but at the time given the expense of the device I wasn't willing to give up the warranty. So now that the investment is a little lower, I'm more willing.

The refurb I believe is carried out by ASUS who then sells them back to BuyDig.

The reason I'm asking if I'm in for a bad time is because I've seen reports of other refurb owners who had terrible times getting their devices to unlock, specifically with messages like "unknown" or "invalid" serial numbers when attempting to input theirs. Or they were getting network access errors when trying to communicate with the servers that were responsible for unlocking the devices.

Does anyone have any input on this or experience being in this situation?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ginhead:
Would also like to hear any reports of unlockable success by recent buydig purchasers.

The unlock bootloader poll is only showing that 20% of the responders have issues...but 32% is unknown.

Buydig has a 45 day return/exchange policy, so I’m thinking that I’m going to roll the dice and hope that I don’t need to try and return it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
The only way to find out is to try it! If one thing is consistent in this unlock mess it's that it's totally inconsistent.

Works like a charm for some, others can't unlock at all. And it does not seem to have anything to do with new/refurb/repaired under warranty
[Asus Transformer TF700] ginhead:
thanks. I just received my refurb today. is it possible to try out the unlook tool to see if it is going to work for a specific device without actually voiding the warranty?

I'd like to wait at least a week or so to see if any major hardware issues pop up. so far, tablet looks to be in working order but some more time before going all in would be nice.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bluewr:
No, you click the button, it either works, and your warrent is voided, or it doesn't work.

Or another option is to contact Asus, and ship it to them, and have them unlock it for you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
LOL! Never heard of that option! If you have first hand experience I would love to hear about it!

I think it's rather the other way around: You ship it to them unlocked for an unrelated problem and it comes back permanently locked.... Asus does not support unlocking.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bluewr:
No, I had problem unlocking it, and gave it to the local Asus refurb place, and had them unlock it for me, took them a week to finally unlock it though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ginhead:
thanks for posting that. I'll probably wait a week or so then give it a try.

overall, I’m pretty happy with it so far. There is some lag – noticeable in Chrome – but definitely useable. Hopefully, I can get a custom/optimized rom running on this shortly.

Really liking the display so far. Native blu-ray files look great.
[HTC Desire C] DannySB1:
Hello,

This is my first post on Xda.

I followed the guides on here recently to Root my HTC Desire C, install Nameless v7 and Sim unlock the phone, which has worked. However I am finding the ROM abit laggy and I ham having problems with the WiFi and 3G data signal.

Is there a way of restoring the original HTC ROM?

I made a recovery file before rooting the phone, is it just a case of restoring this?

Thanks
[HTC Desire C] aashay960:
Nameless rom is outdated. You should try cyanogenmod 10.

But if you still wanna go back to stock, restore that backup.
[HTC Desire C] smoza:
Or install the stock rom uploaded by Russell :D
[Android Apps and Games] yobeez:
Happy Sunday everyone. Hope all is well.

So quick story short, I'm trying to run an app from my Samsung smart tv, but I also need to have a "SAMSUNG ACCOUNT" loaded into my phone.

When I go to accounts, there is nothing loaded there. I tried to add, and there's nothing there. When I downloaded Samsung Hub, and try to sign in, it says it is disabled and I should re-enable it. Well, there's nothing to enable, because I can't find the Samsung account. Can anyone help me out?!?!?!

I am using a Jedi X19 rom on my Note 2.

THanks for your help. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcls:
The stock ROM is absolutely perfect for me, except for 2 things. All I want is a flashlight and a rotation toggle in the quicksettings panel.

I know I can get an app to do it and put it in the notification panel, but I'd love to get them in the quicksettings panel.

Also, I'd want to keep ART so I can't use Xposed.

Basically what I'm wondering is, is there a flashable zip that adds those 2 toggles to the qs panel?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcls:
Bump
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
As far as I'm aware--although I could be wrong--no, there aren't any flashable .zips available. To do what you're asking would certainly require modifying the SystemUI.apk, and while there are plenty of guides for doing this on 4.3 and below, I'm not too sure those methods would be applicable for 4.4... Sorry, mang. Hopefully someone with greater knowledge can chime in with a true answer, but I honestly don't have one. :(

EDIT: In the mean time I'm going to keep looking into it for yah though. Kinda curious myself. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverramsrt:
Derp.

Posted before I read entire OP :-\
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcls:
Is this on the stock ROM?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverramsrt:
Yes. But, its xposed module with gravity box. I posted before I read you wanted to keep ART.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Ok guys, I said no more releases this weekend, but oltp asked for an app to hard reset, and Bartito wanted uptime, so here we go:

VJEschaton

This program is used to soft reset, hard reset, toggle display, toggle LEDs (possibly!) and get Uptime for your PDA.

On my website!

I think the LED code still needs tweaking, but I won't use it, so it's up to you!

V

Version 0.3 exe only. Launch the exe to find out what shortcuts/command line parameters to use.

www.vijay555.com/vj/releases/vjeschaton/vjeschaton.exe

EDIT: guys, an observation. Because of the way WinCE cab manager works, I can only make shortcuts with command lines if I install real .lnk shortcuts. However, this means they only work if you install to the default location. If you install elsewhere, please modify the shortcuts to reflect the new location

Version History:

v0.11 Initial release

v0.12 Minor hard reset update

v0.2 Various beta features like sleep, memory clean up

2009.03.13 v0.3 Added Blackstone poweroff and a load of other stuff
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oltp:
V,

Thanks man, very useful & easy handling too (again). Small addition: reset the soft-reset counter, clear cookies, clear PIE history, clear PIE cache, clear recent program list, clear all together.

This app. could really clean up a device like anyone wants to. I like to keep certain cookies, xda-dev eg, but ditch all the others. & cleaning up the cache is always useful. I noticed that Memmaid & others somehow clean to much, so I have to login again.

Anyway thanks & have a nice weekend,

M
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] topcaser:
VJ,

nice tool. Another great work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
:) oltp, I was thinking of clearing the startmenu, but yeah, why the hell not go all out!?

I'll try to get some new stuff added. But slowly. I'm spending this weekend fixing old programs first :(

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oltp:
V,

Take it easy, they were just some ideas. Not meant to be pushing you. Next time I think of something I'll wait a week before telling you :-). The WM OS isn't perfect & I'm still searching for the perfect add-ons, maybe a complete tabbed today-screen, instead of the small tabs from SPB plus including functions for hardwarekeys to switch tabs & tasks (but I think it exists already).

Shoot done it again ;-)

M
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
I hope VJSihaya will do some great things with the today screen.

However, if the research is successful, I will try to spin off some of the stuff into the normal Today screen... no promises or more detailed ideas for now :wink:

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oltp:
Do I see a sign 'Do not disturb' on your door? Yes I think I do. I'll leave you with your developments, there enough questions for a weekend work in the other VJ threads all over the board.

Cheers, M
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hdubli:
Can u do it Vijay

Hi Vijay,

Thanks for all the Hard work done...But I request if u can do this simple request...

-U know that in our PPCs, if we have to set a Ringtone we have to either copy that file in WIndows/Rings or keep the file open in the phone..which is a memory consuming work.WHat I suggest is the Tones system followed by Symbian...in say any Nokia phone, wherein, if the supported fornats tones are in the \Sounds\Digital\ folder..the tone setter programme identifies it and these are automatically listed and can be set.

Bottom line. a Prog or Reg Hack which will allow us to set Rintone from a Folder in SD/MMC without using 3rd party softs as Photo Contacts,Ringo etc

Can this be done???
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oltp:
The Ring key in your registry tells you where the ringtones are stored. Just change the stringvalue directory to something else, like \Storage\Windows\Rings\

Don't forget the last \. & keep in mind that the sd-slot becomes disabled after some time & the ringtone won't be heard then. Better make them small (mp3) & store them in memory (internal storage might work too)

Cheers, M
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Thanks oltp :)

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hdubli:
I think I did not explain it properly...

What I want to say here that when a person goes to sounds and notifications...can we add an option as "Browse"..which will show all the audio files and folders and then one can select and customize...this will help newbies to easily set the tones...

I hope now I am clearer
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oltp:
M$ has made file explorer for this so you can use the set as ringtone option. It's two step, it's M$. Or some genius needs to build a new cpl for it, VJRings? Not sure wether PZP does this, but PPCPhone profiles does partly.

M
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Probably could be done, but I don't really have the time to play with it right now. I'm bug fixing tonnes of old stuff first :(

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] buzz_lightyear:
hehe... cool stuff Vijay!

hey guys, I think, that there must be 100s of little VJs coding at ViJays place...

maybe they are 555 at least...

;o))))

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oltp:
Lilo & Stitch

V is more like Stitch, only experiment 555 was good enough :-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
:)

Something like that! Someone's been cloning me, but decided to keep the ugliest one! (there's a joke in a joke for all you bioengineers)

VJEschaton looks like it'll be a useful place to dump lots of little functions. When I get a bit more time I'll add some of the cleanup stuff Oltp suggested. For now, watching The Burbs with Tom Hanks.

You know, I actually slept and wrote code in a dream. Somehow it was for unlocking the universal. Wish I knew how the hell I wrote that. I'm starting to worry though :shock:

V

PS Buzz, yesterday I was one click away from making the "purchase" I pm'd you about. What do you think? Worth a shot?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] buzz_lightyear:
hi ViJay,

...just checked your PM.

I think, that upgrade will not do...

anyway, you are so unbelievable productive... were you saving all that stuff over the whole previous year, and now just releasing it? ;o))))

dream about unlocking universal... right?

I was always getting such feeling, that i'll do something with the rom, ram or all those funny tweaks on hima, when I was on my way to work... and then I did.. like I knew it before, I mean...

so please keep dreaming about unlocking universal. you are on the way to do it.

buzz
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
That's the weird thing, unlocking isn't my area! leave that to the real brains :)

Don't know why I was dreaming about it. Have you seen the thread about the Uni unlocker on ebay? Suspicious.

Hmm - upgrade.. that's a shame. I think I'm going to start a "charity" campaign. So many hacks possible from there - I was thinking of another, assigning apps to the wired headset key like on the Treo... what do you think of the "campaign"?

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Deleted member 267841:
hello vijay555,

i'm very agree to you for your support !!

i have tested your new release (only the uptime option)...

in my opinion, the uptime option don't work correctly...

i have sreset the device at 14:22 and at the 14:31 the uptime option shows: uptime: 0 days, o hours, 1 minute.

i have sreset the device at the 14:22, and after 1 minute i have disconnected the screen (clicking at the on/off button). in my opinion the uptime option only counts the time meanwhile the device is on.

i'm interested in count all the time intra soft-resets (if it is possible intra charges) :)))

regards and thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
That's exactly right Bartito, uptime counts the time that the CPU has been on.

If you want to record time between soft resets, well you need an application that runs on \windows\startup, logs time to a file/registry, and then next time it loads, it compares these times.

Uptime just records the time the system is awake.

[General Questions and Answers] Quickfixneeded:
I have a samsung gt-s5570i bought in Prague, Czech Republic from Vodafone. I want to use an American AT&T sim card in this phone but I'm not sure how to unlock it. Can someone please point me in the right direction.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dratsablive:
Isn't the Bootloader already unlocked on the GPE I9505G? I was able to root and install custom recovery without going through the bootloader unlock process.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
Please don't quote the whole OP. Last I checked it would be impossible to flash root or custom recovery on a locked boot loader.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dratsablive:
So my point is why tell people who have the I9505G GPE phone they need to unlock the bootloader to root their phone?
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
You cannot Root a or install Custom Recovery on a Locked Boot loader.

The GE S4 could fall under the Nexus category but I don't know anyone willing to try it except you which you obviously did not do your homework and took a risk. If you did root the I9505G successfully on a locked BL then unroot relock and try it again then I will have all OP updated. You could even film it and upload it to YouTube so we can show it..:)
[Galaxy S 4 General] dratsablive:
My point was I was able to root and install a custom recovery on my GPE I9505G without having to do the bootloader unlock. So my question is the GPE I9505G unlocked? Or was my phone an anomoly?
[Galaxy S 4 General] wilbarger:
Not to drag this on and on, but I am 99% sure that I never unlocked bootloader on my GE either. That was one of the draws when these phones were announced while developers were struggling to unlock the ATT bootloader. Looking back in google search, it appears that the phone was to be delivered with unlocked bootloaders. I could be mistaken about this, but it is my recollection.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
The phone shipped with a locked boot loader but falls under the Nexus category so CF Auto Root is able to flash and OEM unlock that's why when you run it on a locked BL and chainfires exploit runs when the phone reboots you see the unlocked symbol.

But to go back to the guy who's initial question. Yes you can Root without fastboot OEM unlock but only for select phones mentioned. It would BEHOOVE YOU to not look for shortcuts and Learn how to install the SDK and use fastboot FOR WHICH the guide was INTENDED. Its a MUST Have in certain situations.
[Galaxy S 4 General] wilbarger:
MJ, thanks for the clarification. I have used SDK tools and must have unlocked my bootloader as I flash kernals, ROMS and radios without issues.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
This guide if used correctly and understood will help anyone when it comes to modding android phones. ADB is an absolute Must if you have an HTC phone, toolkits fail so having the Old School knowledge is a life saver and is quicker once you get used to it. My goal with this guide is bigger than one phone or tablet. It gives you the core skills. Hope it helps
[Galaxy S 4 General] dratsablive:
In my case I didn't use Chain Fire to root my phone, I used odin to flash a rooted stock rom, and then installed TWRP Manager and installed TWRP.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
I

That's not What you said and that's a stock pre-rooted Odin package that does the BL Unlock for you. Do me a favor drat get off my thread or be absolutely clear on what your saying instead of confusing everyone.

SO FINALLY TO BE CLEAR GO BACK AND READ!! YOU CANNOT ROOT A LOCKED BOOTLOADER except in the cases previously mentioned X, Y, Z .

CASE CLOSED

I wrote you an easy guide to use adb but you want to be lazy use Odin firmware packages and then troll this thread when you missed the Guides purposes all together
[Galaxy S 4 General] dratsablive:
No need to be hostile. My query was that the GE , I9505G, had an unlocked bootloader to begin with, and didn't need unlocking.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
Your query was wrong! The I9505G does not have a unlocked bootloader to begin with you flashed a firmware package that does the work for you. What I am trying to do here is get you to understand how it works so you or someone else doesn't brick your phone because you think this is how everything works. The I9505G is different than other Samsung phones. If you tried to run a root exploit without Odin in this case on a locked bootloader you would brick your phone. I hope this clears things up for you. I hope that you go back re read the OP here and XDA forum rules and how important searching and reading is before posting potentially damaging comments. MJ
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
I don't want to throw gas on this discussion but the info is wrong. I installed TWRP and rooted long before I ever unlocked the bootloader. The ONLY reason I unlocked it at all was to help Chainfire test something, and that was about 6 weeks after I got the phone. You CAN flash custom recovery or other unsigned code without unlocking. It's quite possible. I've done it. It's one of the VERY few phones I've ever seen that allows it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
Yeah I know I made the point a couple posts back that this phone is like the nexus but I also wanted to get a good adb guide posted here for those who would like to learn and use it.

Our phone is unique in that sense. Hope this guide helps those who want to install and use adb.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
Would be incredibly useful! Did you notice that in MKG they removed the ability to load an OTA from external sdcard? I had to sideload it this morning. Not a big deal but if you've never done it before it can be a little confusing. An ADB guide would rock!
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
Hence your adb guide feel free to add to it or I can put in a sideload guide, system dump..etc..etc.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
A good idea. The trick to sideload isn't so much the adb. It's the damn drivers. I cheat and use Koush's universal ADB driver. :D I use adb sideload for installing root with touchless CWM, as well. These are very useful things to know how to do.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
Strange I never have any problems using adb to flash or side load anything but the universal driver is an excellent tool
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
Yea, it's a great thing to have installed. I've never had a problem using it. Be it sideloading with stock recovery or sideloading with memory booting touchless CWM for root. Either works fine.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
BTW off topic did you try to use titanium backup to convert GE launcher to a system app? PM me.

I I might do some YouTube videos on a adb and fastboot along with some other helpful topics
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
I haven't, no. One thing we could easily do is just inject it into the system files. Wouldn't be hard to do. Do you need a system pull for 4.4.2? If so I could inject the launcher app into it before I zip it up.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
Whatever's easier for you I always thought titanium backup system conversion is the easiest it's one touch your done
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
No, not in my case because I pull my system img for ODIN restore having that in system for me would be a pain. But I added GoogleLauncher.apk to the system\apps folder and just zipped it up. I'll upload it and pm you.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
Actually you can't just drop the apk in the system/app folder ( i can pull any files and do that) you have to install it then convert it to a system app after you install it and I don't have my I9505G anymore so I can't do some of the things I used too. Lmk if you need me to elaborate further on it.

I'm not sure why it would be a pain all you need to do is nandroid your current setup install GE launcher convert in TB then adb pull system/ then upload the file and restore your backup
[Galaxy S 4 General] sand87ch:
can i root samsung s4 using fastboot commands

Hi,

I have rooted nexus 5 and my one plus x using fastboot steps.

But for samsung s4 i see always odin or some other root package is specified but nobody speaks about the normal fastboot methods.

So i want to ask isnt it possible to root using normal fastboot methods like we root nexus phones?

Regards,

Sandeep
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
Not especially, no. There is a version of clockwork recovery for the i9505g that I've used to boot instead of flashing and sideloading root, but, it's not a fun and easy process. Most people just flash TWRP with ODIN, boot into TWRP, then flash the supersu zip either through sideload or on the device itself.
