[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aicjofs:
Oh that's not good. I had a cracked screen on one of the nvidia's, so I bought a second one. I unlocked the bootloader so I could transfer data and then changed my mind because I wanted to see what was going on inside them. So instead of just transferring my daughters data over, I took both apart and just swapped the screen. What I did notice is they weren't entirely the same. The main board has a different cutout on the PCB, and the case does as well. The board can still fit if you leave one screw out. There are a few other minor differences as well. I had saw the insides and how to take them apart so I was pretty much done with the whole thing, but I decided to see if the other board had issue with the other screen(cracked one). So rather then wait for the whole Nabi software to load(since I had wiped the device with the unlock) I just thought I would boot TWRP, and it didn't boot. But the screen lit up so I figured it probably works and threw it in a box. Maybe the different version doesn't work with TWRP like what you are experiencing? Sorry to hear that, I guess I will be digging it back out of the box.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thak4200:
Good to know that someone smarter than me has access to this version. I'm comfortable tinkering but I'm not very familiar with the process. I can load the stock recovery that you have in the DTTWRPinstaller zip and it appears to work fine. At least it did a factory reset with no complaints. I tried both the 271 and 285 TWRPs and both do the same thing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thak4200:
I take it back. I must have been confused about the order of things I did. Flashing the stock recovery included in DTTWRPinstaller.zip doesn't work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thak4200:
Ok, this thing is kind of weird. It already has the su binary in /system/xbin. I installed SuperSU from the market and it's working. This is after the OTA to 1.3.7 so I'd assume even if it was previously rooted it wouldn't still be rooted? Not sure about that.

It has more available storage than the Intel I have, but maybe that's a normal difference. 9.76GB available to the user.

If I tap 3 times quickly on Product Version (where it says 1.3-release-keys) under About Tablet, it takes me to a page called Production Test. It has test sets called PCBA Test, Product Test, Assemble Product Test, Burn-in Test, Secure Status, Other Test and Factory reset. Some of the tests are EmmcTest, WifiTest, PenDrawLineTest, G-SensorTest. I've never had an android device that does this.

I'm having fun with this but it's kind of terrifying doing anything without a working recovery. Is this the same as other Nvidia Dreamtabs? Because it's very different from the Intel. 9.76GB vs 7.16GB, Kernel version 3.4.66 vs 3.10.20.

Also it looks like mine has a different directory structure than I've seen.

Edit to add I managed to regenerate the stock recovery by using the script in the OTA. I can upload it if it would help anyone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aicjofs:
Yes surprising. OTA should apply this permission to all xbin

set_metadata_recursive("/system/xbin", "uid", 0, "gid", 2000, "dmode", 0755, "fmode", 0755, "capabilities", 0x0, "selabel", "u:object_r:system_file:s0");

Nabi OTA's on all their devices(except one update), don't "remove" su binary, it merely removes the suid bit by changing it from 6755 to 0755 and that breaks su.

We will get a working recovery.

Fuhu is very "stock" on things, a lot of the tablet work they outsource. I don't have any inside information but they work pretty much on the launcher and any tweaks Android needs. You will see on some Nabi devices "keenhi"(The Chinese compnay) was the build computer for the kernel. They are sticking with whatever source they can find, and the public Intel kernel is on 3.10. You have to remember too this is about stable arm vs x86.

That's pretty standard for the Nabi devices. I haven't verified but if I were to take a stab at it.

Very nice, I don't know how soon I will be able to get to making TWRP work so people at least need to have stock to do a factory reset or if an OTA comes.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thak4200:
I can verify that those are right at least.

I spent the afternoon getting slowly more engrossed in this, but unfortunately I'm really not sure where to look to know what's breaking the recovery. I've got four different recoveries ripped apart into different directories trying to compare ramdisks and realizing that I can't tell what differences are significant. It's great fun though! Any advice on what direction to look? I've been browsing your github repo and reading the TWRP thread about compiling your own. I noticed that the kernel image from my stock recovery is bigger(6MB) than the other stock and the TWRP kernels you've posted(5.7MB). I'm sure that's going to be fun.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aicjofs:
Yes I can verify it's the kernel that is the problem. I have it working on the broken Nabi. Problem is the screen is inverted, I don't know if that's because I swapped screens.

It's too big to fit on the 8MB partition which was why I was trying to stay with smaller kernel. Try this and tell me if it's inverted on yours? You have to "fastboot boot" NOT "fastboot flash recovery" the image is too big.

EDIT: Ok I built for inverted. One of these 2 should work. Let me know which is which.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thak4200:
Inverted is the correct one, and it appears to work perfektly. PArfectly. Just fine.

Seriously though I used it to make a backup and it behaved exactly as expected.

Hi all,

I've got a Magician, lovin' it etc etc :D

The point is that I've lost the stereo headset that came within!! So I decided to go buying a new one: sadly there aren't any near seller that give 2.5mm headsets!! And the converter that I bought works really bad, often losing connection..

I have found that a Nokia handsfree (http://pinouts.ru/CellularPhones-Nokia/nokia_headset_pinout.shtml it's the 3210 one) fits perfectly, but it's mono and mic&button aren't working..

It's possible to modify it, cutting off the mic and inserting another speaker instead of it? Are there any diagrams for the Magician's 2.5mm output?

Many thanks..

[Asus Transformer TF701] johnciaccio:
Not a lot of developers on the Transformer TF701t unfortunately. Sad that my old acer Tegra 2 tablet I sold has more being developed for it!

Hopefully we may get a 5.0 upgrade from Acer as I do actually like the stock version. Love the speed and look of Lollipop on my G3 and hope to have it on the tab too.
[Asus Transformer TF701] royredman:
I feel similar about this also. Hopefully someone can post a very detailed thread on how exactly to develop for this tablet. I am a beginner computer science major and want to try developing during the break, but can't afford to brick this thing since this is my school/work tablet. If anyone could post a thread like that, I could try to put some work into it.
[Asus Transformer TF701] dape16:
I have the original EEE Pad (TF101) which has great developer support, the KatKiss ROMs is amazing. I can't believe hos smooth and fast KatKiss 4.4.4 is running on that old hardware! The stock ROMs on TF101 was really slow and buggy, and ASUS left it with 4.0.3 when it was just over a year old. The TF101 would be worth nothing today (soon 3 years old) if it wasn't for the great developer community support. With the KatKiss 4.4.4 the TF101 is even better then my TF701 in some aspects. And last month the TF101 even got KatKiss 5.0 which is already on it's 12th release and Android 5.0.1!

If there is no offical Lollipop udate from ASUS, I guess the developer support for TF701 will be even smaller.
[Asus Transformer TF701] johnciaccio:
I don't think the developer support will grow for this tab anyways. :(

At least if we can get 5.0 on it I will be satisfied. Shame that such a good tab did not get the attention it deserved. Lack of marketing by Asus and the keyboard hinge problem may have kept it down. Would love to get my hands on a keyboard dock for it but it's still expensive!

Hello!

I own a Alcatel OneTouch 4033D phone with rooted Android 4.2.2. The sound coming off the phone at first, before i tweaked some things was a bit quiet so i went to the engineer mode and raised it. But throughout having this phone the bass is sort of lacking and i cant really feel it. Ive used many types of headphones and they all sound the same so its the phones fault. Ive used viper4android and always receive a fake bass. When i increased the volume of the bass, other frequencies got lower. I know there could be some sound compression going on as the volume becomes lower only if i increase the bass. It doesn't happen for the other frequencies. Also there is some hearing aid that this phone has that always pops up when i increase the volume above 80%. Thats what i know :(. The headphones i use are heavy bass so are the earphones.

Hope you can help me,

[LG G Watch] firehak:
I just got my watch yesterday and while I wait to get my LG G3 back from repair I paired the G Watch to my Nexus 7 (2012). Everything runs great and I've installed apps, but if I try to connect to any other bluetooth devices my watch will pair and immediately disconnect. In the bluetooth manager I've tried pairing with a Steelseries: free controller, an impulse controller, a coworker's mouse, and my Macbook. Each device will ask for a pairing key (if needed), pair, and immediately disconnect. Just to be safe, I paired each device to my Nexus 7 and Macbook, all without issue.

Has anyone else had these issues or found a way to successfully pair the watch with other devices?

EDIT: I should have probably mentioned that I did find and try a beelink apk after finding out the watch is supposed to have a 1 device limitation.. Beelink says paired for every device I try, but nothing actually works. Even when disconnecting the Nexus 7 I originally paired my watch to.

NO-CONTRACT SERVICE PROVIDERS

In the past 3 weeks I spent MANY hours doing research and on phone calls so I learned a great deal

about the choices we have for unlocked Xperia Z2 smartphone service providers.

[IMG="Red Pocket logo"]http://www.checksnet.com/red pocket.png[/IMG]

RED POCKET

I made a mistake choosing Red Pocket. First, I was not aware they had 2 different GSM SIm cards so I received GSMA. Then I discovered they have better deals for GSMT. They advised me to go to Fry's Electronics to purchase GSMT card. Then I got wrong SIM card AGAIN because Red Pocket [RP]doesn't put GSMA or GSMT on their packaging! Ordered GSMT card on eBay for $1 and then phoned Red Pocket to make the switch. IMPOSSIBLE to get anyone on the phone (after 42 minutes on hold, I hung up). Sent them an email. No reply after 6 DAYS. RP service only got worse. Average time to reach a human by phone was over 20 minutes. They put me on hold and hung up on me 3 times. This is when i decided it was time to find a new service provider.

[IMG="Ultra Mobile"]http://www.checksnet.com/ultra.png[/IMG]

ULTRA MOBILE

Did more research and discovered ULTRA which has better rates and extras like being able to phone up to 45 county land lines for free (and some cellular too). I made the switch as soon as SIM card arrived. ULTRA uses Tmobile service which I prefer over AT&T since prior experiences taught me Tmo has better cell coverage in my area. Then I ran into more problems caused by Red Pocket. Needed my RP account # and password. After 24 hours, my number had not ported from RP to ULTRA. Ultra told me that Red Pocket was failing to release it. FINALLY, after 27 hours, I was activated on ULTRA. Service has been excellent and I'm getting 4G. My only gripe with Ultra is that they fail to provide ANY instructions for how to setup voicemail. Logic told me that since they piggyback off Tmo, Tmobile voicemail instructions would work, and they do.

[IMG="Simple mobile"]http://www.checksnet.com/simple mobile.png[/IMG]

[IMG="Net 10"]http://www.checksnet.com/Net 10.png[/IMG]

[IMG="T Mobile"]http://www.checksnet.com/tmobile.png[/IMG]

[IMG="AT&T Wireless"]http://www.checksnet.com/at&T.png[/IMG]

SIMPLE, NET 10, TMOBILE, AT&T. I looked at all their GSM plans and BYOP (Bring Your Own Phone) no-contract rates before settling on the 2 above. If you have one of these service providers and you're satisfied, I'm happy for you.

Testing now.

Hope it works,

It takes for ever to download but I am looking forward to this.

Cant stand not having root.
[Xperia Z2 General] _mysiak_:
Please do not forget, that by unlocking the bootloader and without backup of TA partition you loose DRM keys forever. Some of the more advanced Xperia features will stop working (at least x-reality and low noise high ISO mode in camera). I would advise to downgrade, root and then flash pre-rooted .167 firmware with locked bootloader.

Only X-Reality is lost

The rest is a myth
[Xperia Z2 General] _mysiak_:
I am sorry, but I do not agree with your statement. I bought a phone with unlocked bootloader by a previous owner and I was a bit surprised by red-green noise in the low light/night photos. Many pictures taken by other Z2 phones didn't have noise at all and were in higher quality. After following some steps mentioned in other topic not only x-reality was back, but also noise disappeared from the freshly taken photos. I have seen posts of Z2 owners with the same experience. But maybe you are lucky or you don't take photos in such conditions :)
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
X-Reality worked only on older firmwares, did your device come with a older firmware

Ive tested alot with multiple devices and many different firmwares

69 was the only firmware where X-Reality worked with an Unlocked bootloader

Nothing else is lost at all from Bootloader unlocking
[Xperia Z2 General] _mysiak_:
Well, device came with non-working X-Reality and awful noise in night photos. I almost immediately flashed the .167 FW. Only later I realized that my bootloader had been unlocked by previous owner. When I followed these steps, X-Reality is working again and photos are clear. This is mine experience with my phone, your might of course differ. But I am 100% sure that not only X-Reality, but also Camera was impacted by removal of DRM keys.I remember that some people complained that music download was lost as well, but I can't confirm as I did not test it before the procedure (at the moment it's working fine).
[Xperia Z2 General] _mysiak_:
In fact, I found comparison photos which I took before flashing the fix and after. You can't deny the difference in noise :)
[Xperia Z2 General] 16k:
I do realize but YOLO ! :) I question things and test things because I am not a zombie.
[Xperia Z2 General] _mysiak_:
To be honest I completely missed the point of this topic - what is the advantage of not doing firmware downgrade if you have to unlock bootloader which will wipe everything on the phone and removes some nice features? More experienced users are fully aware of this method which is available out there for years. And advise this to inexperienced ones..? Don't believe that it's a good move :)
[Xperia Z2 General] weltwon:
The point: Faster & Easier ROOT

From all my experiences, downgrading firmware caused me MORE problems then staying with the same firmware, which my method allows.

As far as wiping everything and losing "nice features" you are simply WRONG.

The ONLY feature I've lost is X-Reality which I may have never used anyway.

As far as wiping everything, Play Store has many apps for backing up data and everything else on your phone.

I chose my ROOT methods because I found them to be FASTER & EASIER than the downgrading and custom building processes.

Anyone reading this is free to agree, disagree or choose your own methods.

The POINT of this topic is to offer a FASTER & EASIER way to ROOT for an Xperia Z2 running 23.0.1.A.0.167 firmware.
