[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tetakpatak:
The keystone of this guide: make ADB & fastboot working in Ubuntu, when nothing else helps with with Windows. Resent Windows OS versions are getting less flashing-friendly and some brands (like Samsung) release new devices on the market without compatible USB drivers. Before losing countless hours trying to solve the problems, try this, possibly very easy solution.

Compatible devices: ADB will work on nearly all devices, fastboot should be also usable for very most of the devices with bootloader mode: Nexus, HTC, Sony etc.

The guide is posted here in Nexus 7 (2013) thread for high amount of reported bootloops right after unlocking the bootloader- or problems with executing fastboot commands in Windows, which must work to unbrick the device.

Please use "thanks" button beyond my posts if you find this guide useful. I've spent my time to help you, who read this.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tetakpatak:
TROUBLESHOOTING:

Occasionally, the device's storage doesn't get recognized in Ubuntu (something like MTP Camera error, can't mount camera, or so). The source of this problem is, that Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't support MTP natively yet, hopefully 13.04 will do.

This is the solution that should work with Ubuntu 12.04, enter in Ubuntu Terminal following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:langdalepl/gvfs-mtp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gvfs

restart your PC, now everything should work (enable USB debugging if it doesn't)

If this method wasn't successful, you can try alternatively to do the same thing with these two repos:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install go-mtpfs

After the last command just reboot the PC

Also this repo could work:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:langdalepl/gvfs-mtp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If none of both repos works and you want to uninstall both of them, just enter:

sudo ppa-purge ppa:webupd8team/unstable
sudo ppa-purge ppa:langdalepl/gvfs-mtp

great tutorial!

Hey brother, great tutorial...

I know this will help so many people in the future and i love to see anything linux based! I have been using linux/bsd based operating systems for years and i love the way linux and android work together!

Take care my friend and thanks again for all of the hard work.

You can also put your computer in test mode which bypasses msm kernel mode code signing policy. This will enable the ability to install the drivers needed. From the administration profile on your PC open a command prompt and type

Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON

Then restart your computer.

Edit: This is for Windows 7 X64 and Windows 8 users alike.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tetakpatak:
It should definitely work with Ubuntu versions 10. 11. and 12.04 even without extra installing Java. I didn't try it with other Linux versions.

Which Linux did you install? Did you enable USB debugging?

Check in www as there are different repos available for ADB and fastboot.

Any of you guys managed to get this to work? Plugged my wizard and picked up as Generic RNDIS, i browsed to the activesync4.1 directory on my xp drive and used the RNDIS driver from there, as windows couldnt see any other, it installed fine, however i get nothing when i plug the wizard in, Windows Mobile Device Center dont pop up. Any ideas guys??
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fahlis:
Hi,

Yes I have it working with both USB / BT :=)

Try this procedure.

1. Download this file.

http://www.download.windowsupdate.c..._847432eec73e750d6d8056881f52a39fbc94587a.exe

2. Extract it using winrar.This will give you a file "wmupdate.msi"

3. Now be sure to logon to Vista as the built in admin and run "wmupdate.msi" and after that reboot and again login as built in admin, let it complete the install.

4.Login as your regular user, connect you phone and all should work:=)

Hi,

I'm running 5472 as well, but the update (from the file name) looks like it's mean for build 5460. Are you sure this is compatible with 5472? I just wanna make sure because I had just reinstalled my OS and don't want to go through the trouble of breaking it ;) Of course, there's always system restore, but it can be a PITA for me sometimes.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] liv3wire:
tried it but dont seem to work, setup starts then vista picks up a new device, out of interest what does your wizard show up as in device manager? It couldnt auto find a driver, so i browsed to activesync dir and there was loads of MS drivers, also HTC drivers, i tried to choose HTC pocket pc but didnt work, its obviously not the Wizard drive its after as the wizard wasnt even plugged in.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kltye:
Oh yeah, now I remember... 5472 was being a real pain with my MDA. I can't remember what I did exactly to fix the driver issue, but I believe I just pointed it to the root directory of the CD that came with the phone when it prompted for drivers. Just be persistent with it, and it should finally install :P

BTW, the file provided above works! It does install an older build of WMDC, but it doesn't seem to affect anything. The build provided with 5472 only works if you choose "quick connect", instead of establishing a partnership.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fahlis:
I had the Start CD that came with the device put in and it found the drivers needed from that auto.

And sure enough the provided file is for an older build but for me at least it does work.

And it shows up as "your username Windows Mobile-based device" in WIndows Explorer..see attached snapshot"

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fahlis:
Oh I just looked at my initial reply and one thing I forgot to mention :(

[Xperia Z General] Akinaro:
Hi!

I know that Official KK is gonna be available soon for our phone, so I was thinking about small comparison of all camera modes, before and after KK.

I have latest official available soft(Non Network carrier phone/Spain): 4.3 10.4.1.B.0.101 no root or any modifications.

Images are taken in full res without stabilization(Normal Mode of course).

Time: 18:00.

Sun is a bit behind left side of building, but still visible in the sky(that had few clouds) so we have nice neutral ambient light.

For now images from 15m distance,

I'm gonna upload also images from 2-3m but that later.

I cropped images in place when we can see hard for camera scene full of high contrast black-white(bike) but also red colored trunk of the car, and a bit of green on top(small but still). Bike have loots of details so its easy to compare how every camera mode modify scene.

PS I had Polish language set in my phone so I don't know if English names of each scene modes are good :]

PPS I know that some of you think that its not needed, but looking at this images you can also see how every mode modify image so its good to remember if you looking for quick setting up camera :D

Because of big file I cant upload it to forum so here is external link to image(if you have problems viewing it click HERE):

In this week I try making this 2-3m images comparison in good lighting so we gonna have all camera modes in most common scenes :]
[Xperia Z General] luluchambler:
Hmm not sure if that was a good idea.

You should have done the images now.

To compare it it would need to be on the same day, with the same light with KitKat and Jellybean.

You most likely not gonna have the exact same lightning when KitKat gets officially released :)

But a nice idea anyways. :good:

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IGGYVIP:
Hi

So i have been here (XDA) for a while and recently i get more and more annoyed (as you can see in my signature) when people post questions that create more questions

For Example :​

This was posted in general Q&A L3 L3II L5 L5II L7 L7II

Now How In The Hell To Answer Safely And Correctly ?????

Well that's where THIS post comes to place :) ​

I will explain how to ask question in order get the answer fastest possible :)​

These Are Questions

You NEED To Answer In YOUR Post

(more of them you answer the bigger chance you get for quick resolution)​

1. What exact phone model is it ? (check the sticker under the battery and include it in your post)

2. Did you use any guide ? (best if you paste the link and include it in your post )

3. What exactly where you doing (post what were trying to do, name of apps/programs you were you using etc.)

3.a If you have app problem make sure to include name of the app and source of download

3.b If You have flash problem make sure to include FULL name of the ROM and flash file also include source of download, program used to flash/update(if you are using CWM / TWRP / OR / or any custom recovery make sure to post VERSION number), your operating system, Usb ports info (1.x, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1), was / is your battery full,

4. Can you provide LOGCAT ? GUIDE HERE :) If Needed :)(adb for windows in attachment)

5.Can you provide SCREENSHOTS ?

to provide screenshots without any app, root or trouble use adb (if you on linux no need to explain, if you on windows see link at the bottom) paste this code to terminal/cmd and press enter every time you want to make screenshot

For linux/ubuntu/etc.

adb shell screencap -p | sed 's/\r$//' > screen.png

For OsX

adb shell screencap -p | perl -pe 's/\x0D\x0A/\x0A/g' > screen.png

For Windows (*no 1 liners don't work)

adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/screen.png
adb pull /sdcard/screen.png
adb shell rm /sdcard/screen.png

This will make screenshot named screen.png and save it (linux and osx home folder) (windows adb folder or root of system drive (i.e. c:\) depending on configuration) {rename "screen.png" to your desired name and remember this will overwrite the previous screen if name stays the same}

5. Post answers in YOUR POST and wait for me or someone else to happily answer (not bombard you with questions before we can help you)

SIMPLE SOFT-BRICK GUIDE

adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.zip* 1.extract it to any folder 2.open the folder 3.press shift key on keyboard and right click the mouse and select "open command window"

your cmd will open here and you will be able to use adb and more if needed :)

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IGGYVIP:
DetailSSS :)

Are you sure the kernel was for your baseband ? ie v10x; v20x ?

when changing roms v10 to v20 and back certain files get rewritten and not in same format anymore so errors occur

also not all kernels are stable and everyday use

so.. read about the source and features / defects of kernel you want to install and ensure you check if your base stock rom is v10 or v20 :)
