[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] blackobsidian:
Hi folks! Is there any chance of getting some stickies on here with Upgrade stuff in them? While it's fun to spend 4 hours searching the forums I think it may save time to have everything in one place :)

My current Wizard (MDA Vario flavour) details are:-

ROM Version	1.3.2.2 ENU

ROM Date	38624

Radio Version	01.04.10

Protocol Version	4.0.13.17

ExtROM Version	1.3.2.102

However I've decided to stay up-to-date with all the software on it. As far as I can tell the sequence I need for upgrading and reflashing etc is:-

Unlock CID

Radio ROM

ROM

Extended ROM

As I'm on T-Mobile (UK) I'll need to retain all my settings for the network so does that mean I specifically have to re-flash with the T-Mobile ROM stuff or can I choose Qtek 9100 and iMate K-Jam ROMs and then add my settings in after? I know I can't use XDA Mini or SPV M3000 ROMs as their network-specific like my MDA Vario but just wondering about the others?

Any suggestions for versions etc?

I'm coming from Jedix20 and wanted to flash Beanstalk and did the whole procedure:

Backed-up current ROM

Wipe Caches + Data / Factory Reset

Install Rom (which Failed)

Install Gapps (couldn't do because the ROM failed to install)

So I tried to Wipe Caches + Data/Factory Rest and just go back to my Backed up Jedix20, and Rebooted....now my screen is stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen and hasn't budged in over 10 minutes. I've even done multiple battery pulls. I can't even do a hard reset to get to recovery. What can I do to fix this?

I need my phone this weekend just in case my husband has to call me in an emergency or vice versa.

Update:

it seems I had to reboot as the new TWRP file was not automatically updated after flashing it.

Got Beanstalk, GApps and SU installed...booted up, got past the Samsung boot, but now I'm stuck at the Beanstalk 4.4+ and have been for probably the last 15 minutes after a battery pull....grrrr
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] manicalchemist:
I really want to get Beanstalk to work...I've heard good things about it...maybe I just don't have much of a green thumb?:silly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Very good chance that you flashed the wrong gapps package...or the broken one ...

Use PA gapps full version for android 4.4 dated 20131126.....

You can find the entire paranoid android gapps offering from their thread on XDA...or a Google search for PA gapps will bring it right up ...

The build is excellent ....and you should try again...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] manicalchemist:
Hey, thanks for the heads up and the response.

Ok...I'm downloading the full Gapps from ParanoidAndroid...will03 has the micro gapp.

I see PA has both the 20131126 and the 20131213 one. I'm going to snag them both...just in case.

I'll keep you updated once their done downloading at drunken turtle speed >_<

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lobsterknuckles:
Hello everyone! My nexus 5 is stock 4.4 rooted with chainfire, and stock recovery.

I received the notification to update to 4.4.2, and accepted, unfortunately it failed, and rebooted normally. I had frozen some system apps with titanium backup (i.e google play music) and think that might've been an issue. I also altered the files necessary to tether.

Wondering how I can try to flash this again? Where is the update stored once downloaded? Can I just flash it in my stock recovery? Thanks for the help in advance.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydoc79:
I have the same problem. I just uninstalled a few apps like play music. Phone is rooted with twrp as recovery.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lobsterknuckles:
I actually have stock recovery. I just located the update with root explorer in /cache. Can I just flash this update in fastboot on my phone? (Vol up+down + power?)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:
Freezing apps is fine, it's the tethering mod that is preventing the OTA from flashing.

You can download the factory image and update that way. Flash them one at a time so your data doesn't get wiped.

The title is pretty self explanatory. My brother and I both got discount codes, and were wondering if we can use them both with one credit card and shipping address or if Motorola will limit us to one. If anyone has any idea, please comment your thoughts or experience!
[Moto X General] gtg465x:
I got three for $150 off so far. Same credit card. Same name. Same address. On the original deal day, I couldn't check out with a T-Mobile Motomaker version, so I settled for a GSM Dev Edition. Then Moto announced the other deal days and I ordered a T-Mobile Motomaker version on Wednesday. It arrived and had a patch of dead pixels, so then I found a code someone posted and ordered a third, which I'm now waiting on. The first two will be going back.

I got a Dev Edition on the first day and then a MotoMaker during the first Wednesday sale.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] 925Adams:
Hello,

I am very new to the android community converting from ios, I am looking to purchase 2 tablets for my boys this Christmas. I am not willing to purchase any leapfrog or similar devices because of their limitations. I found that Samsung has developed a tab 3 kids edition with kids mode which seems to be very nice.

My question is, I would rather purchase a Nexus 7 over the Tab 3 because of the system specs. I am curious if it is possible to install the rom from the tab 3 into the nexus 7? Has anyone tried this or is it even possible?

Here is a link to the rom;

Nope Samsung has touchwiz rom, which is specifically made for Samsung. I don't know of any ports over to nexus. However I'm not sure what kids mode would have that you couldn't customize with any other rom/launcher/app combination.

You could set up a second account on the device and restrict things on it. Just set a password on your owner account and use it like an "administrator". You can restrict use of the app store, browser things like that.

Answering the Call on Cell Phone Unlocking

By Gene Sperling, Assistant to the President for Economic Policy and Director of the National Economic Council

Last March, after hearing from over 114,000 of you on our We the People platform, the Obama Administration called to restore the basic consumer freedom of cell phone unlocking -- to allow you to use your mobile devices on any compatible network you choose -- and provided a roadmap for the Federal Communications Commission, industry, and Congress to solve this for the American people. Today, with the support of FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler (.pdf), the nation's largest wireless carriers announced they will abide by a new series of voluntary "unlocking principles" to help bring some relief to consumers in the next few months.

Today's announcement is an important step forward for consumers. First and foremost, the voluntary agreement will help to ensure carriers unlock phones in a manner that is reliable, transparent, and timely. We also understand this commitment by the wireless carriers will allow our deployed military personnel to have their phones unlocked before heading abroad, an admirable service for our troops.

This issue is about the simple freedom to take your business where you please, and to find the wireless plan that suits your needs -- provided you have paid for your mobile device.

The FCC and carriers are doing their part. Now it is time for Congress to step up and finish the job by passing the Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act, which was voted out of the House Judiciary Committee this summer, and its companion in the Senate. We know this is an important issue to many of you. The Administration will continue to watch it closely in the coming months.

Hi all,

I'm curious as to how a ROM upgrade can kill a PDA??

In my case I tried to reload a saved ROM to my wizard and now it only goes as far as the spash screen. Even putting the PDA into boot loader mode and re-flashing it with any ROM (Eg T-mobile, Imate, Qtek versions for the wizard) have no effect??

So why doesn't re-flashing in boot mode fix the problem?? Are there hidden files somewhere that are not effected during the flashing process but can be corrupted killing the PDA. One clue is that when trying to do a hard reset you get a FAT file format failed message???

Does the PDA have a equivalent of a MBR ie tell the PDA where the various parts of the OS are stored and if that gets corrupted it won't be able to find them and hence fail to boot up???

My PDA is being sent back for repair with the orginal T-mobile ROM loaded

so hopefully I'll get a replacement???

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super Sam Galaxy:
I'm getting a free Galaxy Tab 3 as a promotion from Time Warner Cable (which I assume is the 7" version based on the statement on their website that says "$199 value") and thought it would be kind of cool to use it for recipes. The idea is that I would use Pepperplate, and use Smart App Protector to keep the screen on while Pepperplate is open. The part I haven't decide on is where to put it. At this point, the most practical thing seems to be to get a case that has strong magnets fastened to the back, which could remain on the tablet at all times, and when I want to use it to cook with I could just slap it on the fridge. But I haven't been able to find any cases that seem to fit this need. Does anyone have any suggestions for this? Or suggestions for a case that may be ideal to Gorilla Glue some neodymium magnets too?

The under-the-counter mounts don't seem to be a good solution because I would like this to be portable when it needs to be. Also, I'd love to hear if anyone has any suggestions on how to implement some method of charging while it's on the fridge, though this is not too important to me and is more of a curiosity than anything else. I was thinking perhaps if the tablet is capable of wireless charging, having magnets around the edge and a wireless charging base on the fridge that would go in the center, then trying to find a way to run the cord along the edge of the fridge door. And if it has NFC (which unfortunately it looks like it may not) perhaps I could have a tag on the fridge that would trigger Pepperplate to launch.

This is all just for fun, but it would be really neat to have some sort of set up where I could just slap the tablet on the fridge and have it do its thing. The biggest priority is finding a case that would be magnetic or easily modified to be magnetic. Any input is welcome. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmbomb:
here's how I would do it...

Get yourself a (or 2) cheap TPU cases. I have one called BoxWave. 5-6 bucks.... Ebay or Amazon

A semi flexible stiff rubber (TPU) case that the Tab gets fitted into..just like the supersoft silicone cases, but the TPU material is alot stiffer, but still flexible enough to get it on and off your tab easily..

then get peel and stick magnet strips for any hardware store..Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, True Value, Ace... wherever

Stick the magnets to the TPU case and let them set up for 24 hours before putting the Tab in it and putting weight on it..

if youre scared..

Gorrilia glue will work too.. remember.. it's just a cheap case and worth the sacrifice..

Then there ya go!! slip the Tab into the case and stick the Tab on the Fridge!!!

Good luck and be sure to post Pictures of your success!!
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmbomb:
ill get me some stick on magnets soon and stick them to my TPU and test it out.

Ill post the results..

How come yours wont come in for 2 months? and are you getting the 7" or the 8"

Ive seen the tab3 -7"incher at Best Buy last weekend for only 49$$ but they want you to contract up on a data plan..

WEAK!!!!... I pull my ATT go phone sim out of my phone and jam it into my 315 and BAM!!! an 8" Galaxy phone with data, mms, and voice calls!!!

good luck
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super Sam Galaxy:
Please do post results! Sorry I didn't see the reply again, I did subscribe to the thread but I must have missed the email... now it's been a while! Anyway, the 2 month period is just one of the hoops TWC makes you go through to get something free. It will be the 7 inch tablet. I am actually on the phone with them now trying to get them to honor their agreement and it's like pulling teeth. But they are either going to give me a tablet or I'm not going to pay my bill for the next 3 months to make up the difference and I'll buy my own damn tablet! Anyway, I intend to post photos when it's done. I've got everything set up, I just need a table to go in the TPU case.

UPDATE: Just got off the phone with TWC after an hour and 36 minutes, and they told me that they are going to "pass my details to the correct department" and I'd get a call within "3-4 days". Funny, as I pointed out, that was the same thing they told me 8 days ago, after another equally long phone conversation. Anyway, to sum it up they are giving me a credit equal in value to the tablet and I'm debating between the Galaxy Tab 3 (7 inch), which was what the promotion originally offered, or the 2013 Nexus 7. The Nexus has gotten great reviews, is there anything about the Galaxy Tab that you'd recommend over the Nexus? I know I'm kind of getting off track here but I'm just curious.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmbomb:
well... after you vacated the thread, I figured you lost interest or just decided to drill holes in your cabinet door..

So, I didnt get any magnets.. BUT I will get them this weekend.. maybe tomorrow... Id like to shoot a video of it stuck to the fridge while opening anf closing... how to post it though??
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super Sam Galaxy:
Perhaps upload to Youtube and send a link? Anyway, don't worry about it if it's a bother, but if you get a chance I'd be interested to see. I'll try to keep up with the thread better!
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super Sam Galaxy:
Also, here's a photo of the finished product (pending insertion of tablet). Let me know what you think.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmbomb:
well that looks pretty cool, now that sits right in the middle of your cabinet door? How did you mount the case to the door, I don't see any screws on the backside of the case that went through the cabinet door with I'm guessing nuts on the other side..I will look for the magnets today at to hardware stores on the way home from work
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super Sam Galaxy:
Thanks! It's actually a flip-cover case, so the screws are in the cover part, which is flipped over behind it. then I drilled a small hole for the micro USB cable and ran that along the edge of the inside of the cabinet. Now that I'm debating getting a Nexus 7 instead (TWC just gave me a credit to my account in the amount of the tablet, so I have up to $200 to go toward any tablet I want at this point) I'm considering using a wireless charging pad so all I have to do is place the tablet in the case, though not sure if that would work through a case. Still playing with ideas, and if I do the Nexus 7 then I'll need a new case, but thankfully, they're cheap!
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmbomb:
Ok... lets try this...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jD25aOvicI&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Now, my fridge finish is textured and not smooth. Kind of like a course orange peel,

So I think the grip was not as strong as if it were a smooth surface. If I were to keep this, I would go with a 1 inch wide magnet instead of a half inch which was $1.59 for 30 inches X 1/2".

Good luck!
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super Sam Galaxy:
Looks great! When you say the grip isn't as strong, I'm wondering, did it slide at all when you opened and shut the door? I didn't see any movement the first time you shut the fridge door and it didn't seem to be in a noticeably different location so I couldn't tell if it did, but that's my primary concern with the magnet method, so if it stays in place then that looks like a perfect solution.

On another topic, what app are you using for the dialer? As I understand it (correct me if I'm wrong), the tablet itself does not come with a dialer, and that was something I was planning on looking into down the road - particularly one that can be used with Google Voice. So my questions are 1) what is the name of the app and 2) does it allow Google Voice capabilities? I know that Google Voice is going to disable third party apps that use its service in a few months, but in the mean time it would be cool to use it to make calls.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to make the video, and I really like how you have it set up.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmbomb:
Like I said that my fridge has a textured finish, so the mags were not getting a solid grip.

It DID stay up there. I even shut the fridge door hard once to test it, but, I'm suspicious, so IF,

IF, I were to do this set up on MY fridge, I would double up on the mag area. & yes, It did NOT move when I had it, just that I wouldnt do it full time without doubling up on the mag area..

My SM-T315 8" Tab came with the Samsung dialer installed.. ya see... It's actually an 8 inch galaxy phone.

Does everything the phones do just in a larger screen.

It has a sim card slot... I take the sim out of my smaller phone (ATT) and slide the sim into the tab 3 8" and BAM!!! The tab is now my phone...

Phone , data plan, mms, everything now comes to the tab with my same number. No need for google voice.

it cost a bit more than the wifi only ones sold at the brick and mortars here in the USA, but, I like the phone and mms features.

good luck

Good luck..
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super Sam Galaxy:
That's nice that it works as a phone out of the box. I use Google Voice as my primary number, which is a pain sometimes, but I like the fact that I can answer it from my mobile, my home phone and my computer, and when I call out from any of those it also shows the Google Voice number on caller ID to the person I'm calling (for the home phone, this is through Ooma Telo). Wish I could have the tablet work the same way in case it's closer when the phone rings. Did you have to order that through a special online service, or can you find that version on Amazon?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmbomb:
Maybe not Amazon.. I know they had the 311 which is the same but NON-LTE.... E bay has a bunch..

I got mine and all my international stuff from Negri Electronics. They operate in Las Vegas. Very good store and after the sale customer relations.

good luck deciding now.
