[Microsoft Surface] For the Love of Tech:
Well, it's not really fair to compare the SP3 to an Android device. Android uses ARM processors and the SP3 uses x86 processors. x86 is the kind of processor that you would find in a laptop or desktop. You should be able to retrieve any files from your SP3 as you would from a laptop. It has the same hardware as a laptop.

Keep in mind that MS has 14 day return policy as does most computer retailers. If it is a mechanical failure it is under warranty and they will replace it. If you have a replacement plan they will replace it no matter what.

Unfortunately, most will tell you that the way to get files from a busted PC is to take the hard drive out and put in a different PC. I don't think you want to take your SP3 apart for a few files.

The best solution would be to find a way to boot your PC from a USB. If you can manage that, you can copy the files to a USB. You're probably going to need a USB hub.
[Microsoft Surface] xwere:
Forget it guys let's admit it the sp3 is a beautiful piece of hardware and fantastic fete of engineering. But truth be told mine bricked on day 1 and had to spent an extra 200$ shipping it back for an exchange from Microsoft.

There are way too many occasions reported that I wonder what the mac boys would say about this. Thinks I wanna let the cat out of the bag.

Take it you dont have a mSD card in the machine and use File History?

Hey there guys. I previosly owned mostly symbian phones. Now I have a WM5 one. So my problem is: is there any way (trick) to switch between open apps on my device? This is a prob lem for me because , for instance, I had the IMplus (mesenger app) open , my phone entered standby after the period that I chose (2 minutes) and when I tapped the screen , my app was gone somewhere in the background. So I had to look it up again through the menu, and reopen it. It was working of course, but it was in the background. So is there any way, like it is on symbian, to find your opened apps and choose which one to bring back into the mainscreen, using only a simple button press or smth like that? Or maybe at least an app to do that?

Thank you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] elio:
magic button, GSPocketMagic, and a hundred other softwares...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] leoking3:
LOL. Yes thank you. So nothing embedded already, but lots of apps to do that. Got it thanks. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vijay555:
I like SmallMenu Plus.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mr_Ray:
Smellmenu Plus is fantastic, in addition to the task manager aspect, there's the cascading start menu. It's the first thing to go on any of my devices, and with the scrollwheel of the hermes, it's twice as good as normal. Makes one-handed operation so much easier.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sparkyxda:
SmellMenu? Gosh this is better than I thought.

Please add your own jokes here . . .

WisBar, PocketPlus, iLauncher ... Tons of others ..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] datruth:
I use AE button Plus. It cheap and will give you exactly what you are looking for as well as a Alt Tab. It will multiply what your hard buttons can do x4.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] leoking3:
Thanks guys , I got an idea now.... Using Magic Button for now, but I will try Button Plus right now.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostradiant:
Yes, I have an unlocked bootloader, and I'm rooted and was running the GPE ROM. However, I wasn't doing anything special. I was using adb to push a movie to my device. After a really long time (about 50 minutes, the file was almost 7 GB) I get an error in the command prompt saying the the push failed or permission denied or something. I try turning on the phone and nothing happens. I unplug and plug back in and this QHSUSB_DLOAD thing is in the device manager instead. I did a little Googling and it seems that this means the phone could be hardbricked?! I've tried holding the power button for at least a minute, power and volume down, power and volume up. The buttons aren't flashing as they usually do if it's being hard resetted. I also tried the light trick for those who know about it but no dice. Currently I have it plugged into an outlet, but the charging LED isn't on. I'm freaking out. Am I screwed or is there a way to fix this? I've read the USB QDLoader 9008 cited specifically for hardbricking but mine doesn't have any numbers attached to the end of it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
here's a potential fix: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2770684

if this doesn't work and its under warranty then return it to your provider.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostradiant:
I bought the unlocked version straight from HTC a little more than a year ago with no extra warranty. Do you think they will still repair it for free? And if they ask if the bootloader is unlocked or not, if it's S-Off or not(it is), and rooted, what should I say? Also, I'm kinda curious why it bricked in the first place when I wasn't even writing to system or anything, just copying an MKV file.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
first of all never tell them it was rooted or s-off etc, they will tell you that you have to pay, they will shift all failure blame on to you.

secondly, if it was over a year ago they will probably make you pay anyway, telling you that your warranty has expired.

did you try the unbrick project ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
I posted the same unbrick project link in the other thread you asked about this in. It's definitely worth a try. Don't be put off by the fact it requires Linux. It's not that difficult to setup a bootable usb stick you won't need to touch your Windows install at all. I can certainly help you with that. And it could fix your phone for free, where as HTC probably won't ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostradiant:
Hi, I'm going to try it soon. I do have experience with Linux(my major is CS) :). The only thing is, where do I get fastboot on Ubuntu? I've already booted into Ubuntu from USB and I'm downloading the package from that unbrick link.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
here: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/08/install-adb-and-fastboot-android-tools.html
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
to install adb fastboot this is easy just 3 commands in the terminal. Thanks to Webupd8 team.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

Make sure your connected to the internet and press Ctrl+Alt+T to open the terminal then type or copy and paste the above commands one at a time waiting for each to complete there out put. It may seem to have stopped at times but be patient when the prompt returns to normal enter the next command and when there all done your ready to use adb and fastboot.

Edit:- [MENTION=4518565]Seanie280672[/MENTION] beat me to it ;)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
if you get any errors whilst downloading adb and fastboot, you may need to go into control panel and settings and enable Eclipse, or something like that its just a tick box, took me ages to work this part out.

EDIT: yup you have the same problem I was having, you need to enable that setting, cant remember exactly where it is, but its in control panel somewhere, its just a tick box.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Mmm that's a problem from the repository side. Maybe the packages were updated and renamed or removed for some reason :(

I know they were removed once before but then came back due to regular requests. I'll take a look at the git page brb

What version of ubuntu are you using?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostradiant:
I believe it's Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (64 Bit). It's the one on here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

I did a search in the system settings for eclipse and nothing showed up. Do I need to install eclipse then?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
you need to use 32bit firsat of all.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Edited :- 64bit is supported by the repository but ubuntu 14.10 is not supported by the repository

go here http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ and download Ubuntu from the first link at the top that says PC (Intel x86) desktop CD

once universe, not eclipse, was enabled, everything downloaded and installed fine.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
One other heads up when using Fastboot in linux all commands must start with sudo preffix or they will fail. So

fastboot devices

becomes

sudo fastboot devices

And so on the same for all Fastboot commands. Adb however works just the same as in Windows. But if when you first try adb devices you get

no permissions ????????????

Then type

sudo killall adb

Disconnect your usb cable and reconnect then

sudo adb devices

After that adb should work and without the sudo preffix.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostradiant:
Okay I will keep that in mind. But it seems that all you need to do is call the sudo ./revive.sh. I'm assuming that does all the work for you? I'm currently redownloading the Unbrick tar file. Assuming this process doesn't work, do you have any guesses on how much HTC will charge to fix this? If it's $300 or close I may as well just get a Nexus 5 instead.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Yes but after the unbrick there is some more flashing to be done and I'd bet money that adb and Fastboot won't work in Windows because Windows is great like that ;) but Linux will always work because it doesn't need drivers for Android phones because it's boss!!! Lol. just trying to keep you going through any potential pit falls :good:

And sorry no I have no idea how much HTC would charge I suppose it depends what they find. Also I'm from the UK so GBP for me ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostradiant:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Check the unbrick project thread for suggestions. Try the bright light with power+volume down for 60 seconds before running the script or even while running it maybe?

Linux clearly sees the phone there's got to be away to get it to respond.

[General Questions and Answers] geek-x:
Hi, this happened to me once while I still had an HTC Sensation, every rom I flashed didn't boot past the splash screen boot logo, and it had something to do with having s-on instead of s-off in my phone's recovery preventing it from booting other custom OS's.

I found a fix somewhere, which made me understand I didn't need to have S-Off to have a Custom OS, flashed, rather, there was this small trick, booting the phone from the boot.img file with adb instead of rebooting from a custom recovery. This was an HTC Sensation, not a Samsung, Only trying to help:

* Get/Extract the boot.img file in your custom rom's zip and save it somewhere on your desktop.

* Once you're done flashing the custom rom in recovery, DO NOT reboot from recovery, turn it off by removing its battery and fixing it back, then boot your phone into downloader mode and run these commands.

cd C:\Users\your-username\Desktop\

( path to where you've got your boot.img file )

adb flash boot boot.img

Your phone should now boot the custom Rom fine, like I said, you'll be trying this at your own risk, as this worked for an HTC in a similar situation.

Hope I was able to help.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grkkim:
(*Here's how the whole story started.) So I recently wanted to update my Galaxy S3, and for some reason the Baseband Version was different from other AT&T Galaxy S3 Devices. So, after I brought it in to Best-Buy they said they can't fix it, even though I contacted Samsung and they told me they could flash it with this ''SMART'' Tool (Which Probably is Odin3) Rooted or Not. I was tired of trying to fix this because, I was on 4.0.4 Ice-Cream Sandwich, and my friends bragging about the 4.4 KitKat Update they received. I literally tried everything, from clearing the Google Services and the AT&T Software Update on the Application Manager. I had the Baseband Version: I747UCLF5. I was tired of not getting the update, so I just flashed the Original ROM from Samsung-Updates, using Odin3. Samsung-Updates had only 4.1.1 Jelly-Bean, so I thought about just updating from Jelly-Bean.

(*Here's how the Samsung Galaxy S3 wouldn't turn on), and was stuck on a boot-loop.) So, continuing the story, I successfully updated to 4.1.1. Jelly-Bean. So, when I was on the 4.1.1 Jelly-Bean I checked for updates, and I successfully updated to 4.3 Jelly-Bean. Yes, I know that the 4.4 Kit-Kat update was out, so I continued updating the phone via OTA. When it finished, it started updating with AT&T Logo on top and the Percent with the Bar on the bottom. After it reached 100%, it was rebooting crazy. The Samsung logo went on and off and the phone went vibrating every second. I'm pretty sure my power button is not broken and when I put it in Recovery-Mode the same updating process came. (AT&T Logo, Loading Bar with Percent and a message saying ''Updating...''). Ever since that day, I re-charged it and I put it in Recovery-Mode, and same thing happens and when it finishes it's doing the boot-loop. I tried putting it in Download-Mode and tried to flash it with Odin3, but it didn't work at all. It had this error message. I'm pretty sure the Boot-Loop is caused by a Locked Boot-Loader. This is What it says in Download Mode.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onelsiuch:
Greetings developers and android enthusiasts!

I'm quite new here and I'm not sure how to word this correctly so here it goes... I have a nandroid backup of a rooted stock ROM 4.3 and I have flashed a custom ROM (android version 4.4) for my note 2. I already booted the phone with the new ROM and it works. I forgot I did not back up the apps+data using titanium backup back when I was using 4.3. So the question is, can I restore the 4.3 /data partition to the 4.4 ROM? If not, any alternative ideas? To my understanding, the /data contains the apps+data, unless I'm wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Just bought MTeor and TT6 seperately; I've seen it sold in bundles, so i never thought about problems with it.

But: Same problem for me with selecting street names etc.

Funny is, that the stick works in all directions in the other menus, but if selecting the navigate to something options the stick up and down doesnt let me to select, but just chnages the volume up and down. same for the left jogdial:-(

Bundle is sold here: http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=142114

/Starg4ze
[HTC Breeze] NCFreezz:
It works

It works on an unlocked HTC Mteor (i have it running)

Only installation is a problem because of not having a touch screen.

U can navigate in the menu's trought the number keys on your phone, 1=first menuitem, 2= second menuitem etc etc

And for installation you have to use something like Soti PocketControler to emulate a touch screen on your PC/Laptop.

But it's true that there is no (not yet) Navigator 6 for Smartphone, Navigator 6 is only for Pocket PC (touchscreen)

But this solution works......
[HTC Breeze] OSuperlfy:
I've got it running too, but can't navigate to any target, cause I can't select the street/city etc, cause up/down changes volume instead of let me scrolling through the names.

Is that true for your solution too?

Yes it's true that thats a problem, but if you type the adres and press the joystick on your MTeor, you select the top adres in the list.

It's true that you can't browse down, so you have to keep typing until the adres you want is the top one.
