[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aradhaya10:
Guys I'm using the latest build of omnirom 4.4.1 the 26.12 build and I was just wondering is there a somewhat stable enough kernel that is compatible with it yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Give this one a try,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239453

I haven't flashed it, but I will do it later today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 210euser:
The cm 11 kernels should work fine. Pretty much any aosp kernel based on 4.4 will work.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aradhaya10:
Thanks I will give devil kernel a try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Actually they have been some issues with some of the AOSP roms. example I tried to flash Devil on SlimKat a week back and it got stuck on a boot loop. As per the kernel dev it was due to each rom using different initramfs.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
This ^^^^..

The devs are working the kernels pretty hard right now...and I'm sure that devil kernel will be 4.4 capable before long...

We are just well ahead of the curve on 4.4...and devs need time to catch up on all of the extra mods....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 210euser:
This is true. Hopefully most aosp rom should be built to boot the same.

Alright so might as well wait for the appropriate launch of a compatible kernel, thanks a lot guys
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] pukebag:
I've got a device and need either root or su for system app development, but want to do this in the least invasive way possbile. The twist... this is likely a pre-release device and came from HTC with S-OFF (HBOOT-1.01.0000).

With S-OFF (but no root) what are the options for getting root and/or SU installed?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
Least invasive: Install superuser/su from adb, leaving stock recovery in place. LMGTFY: http://www.equisoforum.com/Thread-ADB-Shell-Pro-Root-method

Better route: Flash CWM or TWRP recovery to phone, then flash superuser/su package from recovery.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] pukebag:
(please forgive if anything I have below is nonsense... I'm slowly building my understanding)

I don't believe the 1st method will work. I can't 'adb remount' because I don't have root on the device ('remount failed: Operation not permitted'). If remount worked I'd be good, because as you suggest I could push the su apk/permission/scripts to the device. I also tried remounting the /system partition as RW but no luck ('mount: Operation not permitted').

I'll try the 'traditional' CWM route. I just wasn't sure if having S-OFF opened up any other options for getting root, mounting /system as RW, or...

Thanks much.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
I have always used the "Better Route". However, I was under the impression that s-off unlocked the partitions.

Out of curiosity, did you try the following command anyway: (adb push su /system/bin) ?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] pukebag:
At least in this case /system is mounted RO:

- adb shell mount | grep system -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p33 /system ext4 ro,relatime,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

- adb push foobar.txt /system/bin -> 'failed to copy foobar.txt to /sytem/bin/foobar.txt : Read-only file system

This isn't a regular consumer device so it's at least a little funky. For example, it doesn't get OTA updates and is stuck with an old RUU (htc sense 4.0... ruu 1.31.605.1 (? not sure where exactly to get RUU version). It also has the 'normal' CID (VZW__001).

It might get a little interesting digging up workable bootloader and supercid method, now out-of-date for basically everyone else.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
If you're already S-OFF, you shouldn't need to do anything with supercid. Just put the phone into fastboot and flash a custom recovery - either CWM (link) or TWRP (link), depending on your preference. Follow the "manual installation" steps in the thread of your choice. I have been very happy with PhilZ's Touch CWM.

Also - first thing to do after installing the recovery is to make a nandroid backup of the (semi) pristine state of your phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electricmonk3000:
Hello. I had a quick search around but could not find a definitive answer to my question.

I have just purchased a Samsung I9305 that was imei locked through the Australian carrier Optus.

The phone had been lost so the owner rang and reported such.

When he found the phone in his wet weather gear a week later (It was for his business) He obviously could no longer use it

I purchased the phone from him after confirming the details. There is a company here that can unlock the imei and through talks with them I can unlock the imei for other carriers than Optus and other carriers on that network. I have no problem with this as Optus do not have the service and coverage I need So I am with Telstra.

I have upgraded roms and unlocked my S2 a few times

Now that the details are out of the way, my question is this:

I HATE phones that have all the carrier bloat on them. Can I change the ROM on this phone without problems (I have not looked yet but want an Australian Rom not associated with any carrier), or will the Imei lock come back if I do. I do not want to brick the phone or lock it from being used. I would go with a Telstra rom if I have to or at the very least root the phone and remove all traces of the Optus bloat

Thanks for any help in advance...and really hope that someone does not immediately link to another post I missed due to poor search technique :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xluryan:
I've tried searching but no one seems to have this same issue. Or where I saw people with the same issue, they just stopped responding to suggestions and no resolution was reported. So if anyone can help me I'll definitely post until the end!

It started a couple days ago: my phone kept switching orientations (portrait/landscape) as if I were rotating the phone in my hands, but I wasn't. It would happen if it was being held upright, or even laying down on my desk.

Yesterday into this morning it got really bad. It would switch orientations literally every second. I started backing up as many apps as I could, but that was incredibly hard because the buttons moved every time the orientation rotated.

I was able to boot into recovery and make a data/system backup from there.

During the course of the day today my phone eventually just shut off. Now it will no longer power up. I have tried booting normally, as well as into recovery or download mode, but it responds to nothing. There is no screen flash; there is no vibrate. Absolutely no response.

I have swapped batteries with a friend who has the exact same phone. My battery works fine in his phone. His battery produces the same results in my phone: no response to anything.

When plugged in the phone behaves the same: no charging light, and unresponsive to any combination of button presses.

So... being that I'm rooted and likely out of warranty, is there any way I can fix this myself without going to Verizon?

Thanks a TON in advance to any replies! My fingers are crossed...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DiSiD:
I've been seeing a lot of this (power button failures) lately. Are you on CM 10.2 by chance?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xluryan:
I was on AOKP Milestone 2, which I believe was based off of 10.2. I could be wrong, but it was either 10.2 or 10.1.

But this seems like a hardware failure, no? What would the ROM have to do with it? Not to come off as brash; just curious.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] markdapimp:
Sounds like a magical hard brick?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xluryan:
Haven't heard that phrase, but it certainly sounds like some kind of black magic :eek:

Is this fixable? I'm not afraid of ripping my phone apart...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] markdapimp:
Try getting yourself a USB Jig off eBay or something or make one if you're crafty with electronics.

it should get you into download mode and then you can odin back to stock witch will atleast bring you a functioning phone

good luck

heres a video of the Jig getting this hardbricked s3 into download mode from the same Power on conditions you listed

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdrdWqaXUBE
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xluryan:
Great find. Yeah he definitely has exactly the same symptoms as me. Although he bricked it by flashing things improperly. Mine just started out of nowhere.

Hopefully that makes no difference. I don't think I can wait for a "jig" to arrive. I'll probably try to make one myself. Anyone have one near Minneapolis that I could borrow for a few minutes? :D

I'll keep you all posted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xluryan:
Well, good news and bad.

Good news: I made a jig. Bad news: it won't revive my dead phone. I tried the jig in an old S3 with a cracked screen and the jig puts that phone into download mode just fine. But nothing will wake up the other S3.

Could the micro USB port be damaged on my phone? What else could be causing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DiSiD:
I honestly don't know what the Rom would have to do with it except two people before you described very similar things and happened to mention CM (recently, so I thought maybe a common thread).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xluryan:
Not sure. It was working for a couple months just fine on that ROM. This feels more like a hardware issue...

Being that the USB Jig didn't work, I'm not sure what options I have left. Anyone know how a JTAG works? Would that be an option?

Or am I just hosed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dinkleberg:
it might be a faulty motherboard. its like something wrong with the actual gs3. that or your battery is dead. but if not its definately a hardware issue. try buying a new motherboard to exchange the bad one

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aadnan.w:
So I bought my Nexus S in March and don't have warranty support. After a few months, I realised my charging port had become loose and wouldn't charge unless placed at a certain angle. I checked out the guides here on XDA as well as on other Android forums and went through all the usual troubleshooting tips (cleaning the port and the charger with a sharpened toothpick, trying out different chargers, raising the panel inside the micro-USB port a bit, lowering it, everything, you name it, I tried it). Finally, I took it to a local repair shop who fixed the soldering of the port with the panel inside. However, the problem has recurred three times since then. In the meantime, I've also had the charging port replaced with no luck. Either I'm unusually callous with my charging habits or something is wrong. Can't buy a new phone now. Planning to use the NS till Dec '14 when I get myself the successor to Nexus 5. Considering the Nexus S has pretty horrendous battery life, I'd appreciate any tips how to permanently solve the problem.

I have the same problem and I couldn't find a fix either!! So I had to buy a universal battery charger and a couple of new batteries from Amazon. Cheaper than buying a new phone!!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorilla p:
I am trying to install recovery and root the TF300T that I just got. It looked like I needed to start off by unlocking the bootloader. I downloaded the file from the Asus website (V8 unlocker) since it is running 4.2.1. However after trying to run the unlocker, I keep getting "There was trouble parsing the package" immediately upon opening the APK file. I have been able to install other APK's without a problem. I tried 2 different file managers, downloaded v8 unlocker from 2 different locations, tried downloading it directly to device as well as transferring from PC. Still no luck. Is there anyone that can assist with this? Thanks.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
Im pretty sure there is a Windows Utility you can try to connect with the tablet over ADB to unlock.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorilla p:
That would make sense, but I've had trouble finding a utility to do so. I will look around a bit more, but there's nor eason I shouldn't be able to run that APK. The V7 one runs fine, but finishes with some unknown error.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorilla p:
Well it looks like I was able to get it rooted, but I still can't install another ROM because I can't unlock the frickin bootloader. The guide that I followed didn't mention having to unlock the bootloader before being able to install the TWRP recovery. I went ahead and follwoed the instructions to flash the TWRP recovery and now my recovery image is shot. I need an option other than the APK tool from Asus for unlocking the bootloader.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebildude123:
1 problem: The official asus tool is the only one that can unlock your bootloader. :p
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyr35blue:
And sadly in most cases that tool doesn't work. Tablet has been locked the whole year I've owner this thing. :-\
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorilla p:
The unlocker-V7 worked on the latest jellybean without any issues. I had to contact asus after registering the device on their site. i included the SN and MAC address. I also included a link to the google search results for the issue so they know the extent of it. They did something on their end and V7 was able to run and unlock it. They got back to me the next business day as well.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyr35blue:
I've actually been on the phone with them multiple times and I couldn't get it straight with them no matter what. Usually I would get a tech that was of no use and not very technical so I basically gave up and this was months ago.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
But did you use v7 or v8?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyr35blue:
Pretty sure I have tried both as soon as there was a post here about it but just to make sure I just downloaded 7 from the asus site right now and gave it a shot and sure enough i get a network error, try again, etc. I know they have duplicate MAC addresses on file for me and each and every time i asked them to update their site with my current MAC they talk about "im sorry...we cant support unlocking......it voids your warranty"........blah blah blah...... meanwhile they provide the tool. Go figure. That's why I just said F it I wont buy another Asus product again.
[Sony Tablet S] Aktemur:
Hi everyone,

I have a Sony Tablet S with Android Version 4.0.3 release 5a and I am having problems with the Android Software, the programs such as browser, games even android base applications keep crashing. The device is still under warranty and I sent it for repair however the service here requested around 100$ for software installation as it is not under warranty. This is too much for me so I decided to do it myself however. I have searched this forum and many more to find a solution however even I have tried every step described in forums several time I could not be able to reinstall latest ROM from SD Card. I really desperately need some help here as this device is purchased solely for my daughter who loves android games alot.

I really appreciate any help you may provide.

Thanks.
[Sony Tablet S] Athawulf:
hello,

try a hard reset. hold VOL up + POWER and when you see the logo sony release the VOL up button. then choose a factory reset. do not have to install from sd card.
[Sony Tablet S] Aktemur:
Already tried hard and soft reset. Doesn't work.
[Sony Tablet S] Aktemur:
I will try to describe the problem in full detail. I have weird error messages like "Google Play Store stopped working" "browser stopped working" "clock stopped working" and such error messages and when I try to uninstall programs i can uninstall them however when the tablet restarts they are all there, I think machine resets it self. If i try to uninstall a program called "Ustream" the tablet immediately goes off, and restarts resetting it self again. Even the soft and hard reset can not solve the problem. I have tried to boot the device, it says it is booted (I have managed to run adb and flash tools) how ever when the tablet restarts it again resets it self having the exact same situation as before. I have downloaded the official R5A update from the Sony Website when ever i try to install update from SD, the machine stops saying the operation is aborted due to some error. There must be a way to reset this machine to what ever it was.
[Sony Tablet S] smgdev:
If you have adb, you can try to root tab and apply the backdoor patch.

[Sony Tablet S] Aktemur:
I have already tried that. The adb, flasher and other tools that I have found in this site. All in one tool says it has succesfully rooted the device but whenever it boots it restores itself to a previous unknown backup with all the applications installed and I guess not rooted state. I have used the flasher yet it needs rooted device. I have tried to update the system from SD, it says the software is low version (5A). I can not do anything. There must be a solution for this.
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
After attempting root the tablet is rebooting into the other partition. (There are two system partitions). Can you try rooting again and on the last reboot boot into recovery and try to install R5a twice in a row without restarting from the recovery menu. Hopefully this will catch the system switch and install R5a on the other system
[Sony Tablet S] Aktemur:
I think I have rooted the device asthere is a "device manager" in the security options. However adb programs fails to recognize the device. I have installed the driver several times, restarted the computer how ever it did not change. Last time I was able to see the device in the adb device list. But i do not know what I have done to achieve this as I have tired many options. Can you describe me how to do that step by setp?
[Sony Tablet S] Aktemur:
EDIT: I have AIO tools and flasher and ADB automatic driver instlaller. Now ADB Automatic installer worked just fine the adb devices i can see the device serial number. There is an "android device manager" option which I have enabled from security settings in my tablet. USB debugging mode is active however the S.onyTablet.S allinone v6.5 by konrad plasczykowski can not flash the tablet, it can not find the tablet. when i boot in to recover i have 3 options listed.

1. restart device

2 update sysstem from SD cARD

3 Reset to factory settings

when i choose update system from SD cart i see" E:Prohibit update as a result of checking versdion or base sku insallation aborted." message what does that mean?

there are no other options. how can i continue on...
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
After the update fail. Use adb pull /tmp/recovery.log and post it here :) and I will see what is happening
[Sony Tablet S] Aktemur:
The flashing operation fails as the system can not access to the specified directory. Whenever I run the flashing tool the command windows background turns to red and I see this error. ADB can list the device yet I can not flash it.

By the way I have to reinstall all the drivers everytime I connect the tablet to PC, if I remove the cable and re mount it adb fails to list the device.

Hi there,

I've a couple of blue spots appeared in my photos, so I'm assuming the CCD is damaged.

Are there any walkthroughts for replacing the CCD, and can anyone recommend a good UK or Europe based source.
