[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] dutchhome:
I'm not able to get to the bootloader screen because the front usb port is not functioning on my unit. Has anyone been able to use one of the USB ports on the back to get to ADB and/or get to the bootloader? Is this a known issue with a workaround? I've done quite a bit of searching and have not turned up any solutions. Considering what is involved in shipping this back, I'd much rather figure something out. Thanks in advance for any help!

Edit: I should mention that I have used the adbon password and it does acknowledge that adb has been enabled. Just nothing seems to work on the front port. When I connect my Linux machine and run lsusb nothing shows for the unit. I have considered buying or making a USB-A to USB-A cable to connect my computer to one of the back USB ports, but I'm concerned about how these back USB ports are designed. Is it as simple as a built-in OTG cable? If so I'm probably fine. If it is more like a computer's USB port I could damage my laptop, my headunit, or both. I'd really like to hear if anyone else has had to deal with this. Unfortunately I haven't verified if the front USB will charge a phone. This is my next step.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] pa.ko:
My front USB also doesn't work. I even got mini to standard USB cable with unit, but plugging flash drive into it doesn't produce any reslt.

I also plugged extension cable to one of back USB ports and tried it (plugibg same USB flash) but it doesn't work either.

So I'm also confused.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] dutchhome:
Does that mean you are still running the stock ROM? I have been hesitant to install the custom ROM because they say you must be able to get into the bootloader even though I couldn't find a step in the process that required it.

Regarding the USB ports not working at all, you may find that you need to use a powered USB hub. I've seen reports of USB devices acting up due to the low power. This is one of the reasons I thought it might be safe to use the rear ports with my computer. (My first real test is going to be mangling a male-to-male USB cable so only the data lines are connected to see if I can get those rear USB ports to talk to the computer. I figure that way there is no chance of frying any circuits.. Each side already has its own power and I don't believe any signaling is sent via the power pins.)

On my unit (MTCB-KGL-V2.80), I have used a T-Mobile USB broadband modem successfully on the rear port, so I know rear ports are live. I did take it apart to see if something was obviously wrong with the front port, but nothing jumped out at me.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] dutchhome:
So I have a bit more information on my headunit. BTW, I have the BMW E46 model with MCU MTCB-KGL-V2.80.

On my system, both the front USB port and the rear 3G USB port are wired as device ports connected to an AU6258 USB controller (http://www.sunnyqi.com/upLoad/product/month_1403/201403162331285643.pdf). I don't remember exactly which USB ports they are connected to, but I believe the 3G port is connected to port 2 (pins 6 & 7) and the front USB port is connected to either ports 3 or 4 (pins 9 & 10 or 11 & 12 respectively). Nothing is connected to port 1 or to the upstream port. The other rear USB port is wired directly to the MTC_RK3188 board.

All three ports are wired with only four pins, so I'm concerned that none of them could work with the computer. The USB controller doesn't have USB ID pins, so does that mean that the 4 downstream ports are OTG and the upstream port is for a computer? Unfortunately I don't know the hardware side.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] pa.ko:
No I flashed Malaysk ROM from GPS SD card. No problems. Just follow instruction. I had luck that I didn't need to recover from USB.

Did you tried with USB powered hub? I don't have one to try it myself.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] flintiii:
RK3188 1024x600 front USB not working confirmed

I checked on my Linux workstation with

lsusb |wc -l

plugging and unplugging all three USB cables and the number did not change. BTW where did you use the "adbon" command? The only place that I could even try was at Settings > Factory Settings. Regards Flint

Hello, i installed some months ago on my Fire tablet the CM12 Unofficial. I have only one problem: sometimes the display light cannot reach the max, when the bar is on the left the light is the same as the center of the bar. If i reboot the tablet this problem is solved for some days. I tried updating the rom but the problem is still there.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Likely an internal problem. Not much you can do other than contact Amazon for a replacement if still in warranty. If nogo could try flashing Xposed framework and a module that offers extended control over screen brightness. These are typically used to lower the minimum brightness levels but might offer some relief at the other end. Good luck.

Has anybody gotten anything back (confirmation/Gear VR) on the Gear VR Promo yet? I registered for mine as soon as I got my phone but have not seen anything back yet. So i was wondering if anybody else has.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] KuHaKu:
Interesting. I ordered my unit from a retailer in Australia (JB Hi-Fi) and missed the parcel. I'm not sure if mine is going to be shipped with the phone or I have to go through the same process to get it. Going to pick up tomorrow (in 12hrs?) Will try to keep updated :P
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Negative, I filled it out first thing when it opened up. I'm on T-Mobile and haven't heard back about the Netflix promo code either.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] overlord727:
Not yet. Its not even showing anything for my email when I check the site: https://promos.samsungpromotions.com/info/checkstatus

Edit: Filled out the promo the day I got it (3/1/16) on TMO
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Mines showing up twice for some reason:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] overlord727:
Mine is showing up now too! Although its showing up twice just like yours is. Progress!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
At least it's showing up now
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] gqser:
i've submitted 2 different emails for 2 different accounts (home and business)....showing under review for both for the past 3 days.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] overlord727:
I think theres two entries per submission because one is for Netflix and the other is the Gear VR
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] kizx:
Still waiting for approval. I uploaded my lease agreement. Is that count as a receipt?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Sotey:
no Evernote or Dropbox promo with the S7?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Intub8:
It will be in review for 2 to 3 weeks. They wait until the buyers remorse period has passed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Naemion:
What does fulfillment pending mean?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] seijyennite:
[MENTION=2618856]Naemion[/MENTION] Not sure but that is what mine was updated to also... i would assume that they are sending them out now?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] mvpulsts:
mine also recently changed to pending. fingers (eyes?) crossed!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jmm22:
Everyone's changed to pending. It doesn't mean anything. People who submitted last night got the same message. They aren't sending it out until after the return period has passed for the pre-ordered phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Tw1sted247:
Mine changed to fulfilment pending like 2 days ago now it's BACK to under review.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] seijyennite:
Same here...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] retsen:
Sort of along the same lines, how are you guys getting the free Gear VR Games? I preordered through Best Buy and have received my Verizon S7E and my free Gear VR and SD card but for the life of me I can't figure out how to redeem my free Gear VR games. I don't have a redemption code anywhere in my receipts/emails from Best Buy.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] aexp08:
Put your s7 into the VR, download oculus and when you create a new oculus account theyll he there, first thing you see.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] sroberts40:
Same thing here took forever to change from under review to fulfillment pending and now says under review again?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Naemion:
I just got off the phone with prize logic and they aren't sure why it changed back but once you see the fulfillment pending change your application has been approved and they are working on getting it sent out.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] magic_moe_:
Got my Gear VR today ;)

Anybody know where I can find the Promo Code for the Games? I already had an account from the S6 edge...do I need to create a new one? If so, that's quite stupid.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] aexp08:
Yes you'll need to create a new one

Magic_moe_ when did you submit you app?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Naemion:
No you don't need to create one. You should be able to sign into your gear vr and after a while after it recognizes your on an s7 it will apply the promotion. They will be listed in your library as waiting to be downloaded.

Did you get an email saying it was shipped or was the update page from samsung changed? Mine just says fullfillment pending
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Naemion:
That's all mine said, but when I called she said that means they're getting it ready to ship.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Sk17z0:
I just check mines with the link posted above and it says its under review. Its crazy how long its taking. I thought it would arrive with the phone. I'm with T-Mobile so when I got my phone March 2nd I was surprised the VR wasn't with the phone.

I filled out the VR March 4th and was shocked when I read the disclaimer about taking 4-6 weeks for approval.

I can't wait to get my Gear VR. I hope the 6 free games for T-Mobile customers are good games including a horror game.

To the person above that was talking about the free Netflix offer. If you look in the package that your phone came in there is a glossy flier that tells you how to redeem the Netflix offer. I'm not sure if I still have the flier since I've been a Netflix subscriber since the days of their DVD plans.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ipaq_101:
I wouldn't believe a word that comes out of their mouths, these guys have proven to be idiots. Until you get an approval email and your netflix code I wouldn't be too sure that it was approved. I have talked these people before and half the time I have to hang up and call again to get someone who can comprehend english.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Naemion:
Well take it as you will but I was just trying to get something out there for the people wondering.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ipaq_101:
Don't get me wrong, I really hope you're right.

If you bought the S7 or S7 Edge after March 14th you will not receive the Netflix offer as the supply ran out. According to T-Mobile's website.

Samsung offering $100 coupon code in place of vr

The Samsung promotions site has changed saying that due to high demand shipping for free vr is pushed into may and summer. But you now have the option to choose an $100 Samsung.com coupon code. I know everyone has already submitted already and have fulfillment pending but might be worth a shot emailing support and asking for a swap. I did but waiting to hear back fingers crossed. I'd rater buy the 128gb pro ➕ with the promo then the vr
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] LORD19191:
i am still waiting to get my VR stuff. Idk how many apps even take advantage of something like that though.

Is there a place we can find content for it ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] AndroiderM:
There's an occulus store but content cost $$$
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Naemion:
I don't see why they don't offer $150 because that is what the offer is valued at.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] AndroiderM:
Yeah it's bs they don't consider the software bundle you lose but I'll still take the $100 over the vr. The free bundle is probably crap anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Naemion:
Yeah but that's still $150 in free stuff you're missing out on because of their incompetence.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] AndroiderM:
Plus I still have a 30% off code for Samsung.com from my girls s6e+ that's still valid for a month. I wonder if I can't stack them. Anyone know?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Intub8:
I am going to try and email them since I already have the VR. I will let you guys know how I make out.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Naemion:
I did too. Need a good sd card more than I need a vr
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] geor9iaboy:
I hope the ones who submitted early aren't affected.. I submitted on the 7th
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] aexp08:
Was that emailed to you? And what carrier are you on?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Naemion:
It's on the website
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] aexp08:
ohh i see it now. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Naemion:
Where you initially sign up for the offer.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] geor9iaboy:
Yeah it's on the site, for new submissions.. It wasn't like this 2 weeks ago when I first submitted.. I hope I'm not affected, it would suck having to wait until may.. Such a BS preorder, wasn't even worth pre-ordering for this headache. I'll remain patient tho, as it did say 4-6 weeks.. Its barely been two.. So there's that
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] AndroiderM:
I just got off the phone with prize logic and had no luck switching vr for $100 code. I had to give my email and imei, they said I was already approved so they couldn't change the promo. Only upside is apparently I won't be effected by the backorder shipments since I applied on the 11th. I take all of this with a grain of salt cause generally the reps for these places don't know much. So anyone who applied before or on the release date should get there's in a "few weeks". If anyone else has better luck lmk I'd rather the code.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] geor9iaboy:
Good to hear that you won't be affected by back order. Bummer they won't allow you to switch

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

I feel like the $100 dollar coupon code should've been an option from the start. A million preorders, but only 300,000 units available off hand. They should've known that wasn't nearly enough, now they're on back order & the people who already submitted are just stuck waiting.. Possibly a 3 month wait.. That's crazy
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] AndroiderM:
Yeah I hear ya it's kinda frustrating ?. I was gonna get the phone regardless and if I really wanted the $100 I guess I could've went the target route. I'll probably sell the vr slightly used for 50 bucks when I get tired of it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] geor9iaboy:
Yeah, it was just a great deal.. They executed it poorly.. A year of Netflix & a free gear VR?.. Sounds great, until you realize you'll be waiting at least a month after to even find out if your approved not
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Semantics:
My status changed to fulfillment pending. I don't think it will be that much longer, honestly.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] fosormic:
Not-so-small print - T-Mobile USA

Ok, just for kicks decided to read the whole thing offer FAQs for the T-Mobile USA offer. Some highlights which suck:

• Netflix offer is gone for purchases after March 16, as stated on this thread before.

• You will receive a confirmation email once your submission has been approved.

I don't think anyone has received an approval confirmation email, even though the submissions' status have been changed to fulfillment pending, so as someone states here, I'd bet there is no real approval yet.

• Your Gear VR will be shipped to you within

4-6 weeks after validation.

What is validation? Same as approval or the ones who are in 'Fulfillment Pending' status are validated already? I'm guessing yes.

• Once you receive your code, you can claim your free year of Netflix by visiting www.netflix.com/specialoffers by

April 30, 2016

. Netflix codes are limited.

Either the codes go out before April 30th, or they will probably be claim-able (is that a word?) by then.

• You must download the the games by

April 20, 2016

April 20th, not even 30th. Wording somewhere else states that the games cannot be redeemed until the hardware arrives.

---

Now, as stated here nothing will happen until the remorse period expires (30 days for customer service/phone purchases - I know because I just returned one of the two I purchased and rep stated so).

Ok fellow Members,

Here in Austria where I live, I got in touch with my Samsungteam.at about the VR Promo when I pre-ordered my S7 Edge on March 10. I filled out everything on Samsung's webseite and attached a pdf file of my pre-order.

They got back to me on March 16 asking for the pdf file which I emailed to them. The very next day they replied thanking for the file and asking for the IMEI, which I sent this morning (Vienna's time now: 18.04).

This afternoon, they repliad thanking for the IMEI, asking me to wait a few working days to receive my VR Gear. In German:

Sehr geehrter Herr forelli (real name removed),

vielen Dank für die Übersendung der fehlenden IMEI-Nummer.

Ihre Teilnahme wird von uns überprüft. Erst nach erfolgreicher Überprüfung können wir Ihnen Ihre Samsung Gear VR zusenden.

Wir bitten Sie um Geduld, da aufgrund der großen Nachfrage dieser Prozess einige Werktage dauern kann.

Mit besten Grüßen,

I submitted the Gear VR form on March 3rd at 10:40 pm. It wasn't till March 18th that my order was changed to "Fulfilment pending". Since I was able to order before March 4th I should be guaranteed a Gear VR.

Its crazy how we don't hear a word from Samsung even though they have our email. Its ridiculous. They should have sent the Gear VR to each carrier and once someone preorders the S7/Edge that persons carrier should A. Ship the Gear VR with the phone. Or B. Email you a confirmation number that you can then take to the nearest store of your provider and redeem your Gear VR that way.

Samsung gave us an incentive to preorder (not like I need an incentive) but then they treat us like we don't matter even though we completed our end of the bargain.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] aexp08:
Okay so bad news:

I skiped prizelogic and called samsung. Got ahold of a rep immediately. Asked how long it would take till i received my VR. She said any offer submitted before march 18th should expect a 6-8 week waiting time....yes thats correct, no longer 4-6, its now 6-8.

I then asked if I could swicth to the 100$ gift card, she talked like i could but then read me some info on it. Stating that it takes 4-6 weeks to reapprove after submission, so she stated that i would recieve my gift catd through email by mid may beginning of june...

So either way were stuck waiting till May for anything...

Fyi, i called the samsung+ number to get this info
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] AndroiderM:
But they did switch it for gift card? Prize logic told me no.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] geor9iaboy:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] aexp08:
I didnt proceed with the switch as i didnt feel like waiting till possibly june for it, but rhe way she was talking, i got rhe impression that i was able to switch if i wanted.. During our 15min convo she didnt even mention prizelogic. We started with email, phone number, submissiom date and i asked about switching and she said if i did i would get may-june and i said nvm id just wait for the VR at that point.
