The android recovery menu refuses to see the blur 2.3.5 zip, any ideas on what I can do about this? Typically, stock recoveries only respond to the zips if they are named 'update.zip' and placed on the root of the SD card.

If anyone is feeling particularly balsy, there's an ICS Alpha out for the SGSII T-Mobile T-989 version. It has no Data working on it yet but it's looking promising especially since people say it works on Skyrocket too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392705

Anyone on a LTE root their nexus yet? I unlocked the bootloader but I'm seeing conflicting reports about CWM screwing up OTA so I'm a little hesitant - especially when google hasn't released their base image yet.

I could have sworn to god it said it was MIUI but on ICS... entirely possible I hosed that up though. Well, MIUI is easily the best looking/behaving rom on Nook Color so I'd give it a shot on my T-989. Sorry if I teased you guys though. Edit: Maybe this will cheer you up, apparently a Tmobile OTA patch went out yesterday for Battery Life and Wifi Calling: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...3-5-kl1-update/ Samsung Kies will upgrade the T-989, I just did it and it worked. The battery has to be 50% or above, and if you're on rooted stock it'll knock the root back off, but it worked for me without any other issues.

Ok, I have a question about ROMs vs Kernels vs Modems. In the last couple days, EL13 leaked for the phone I just picked up. I figured out which ROM I want to use, but that ROM is still based on EK02. If I update my kernel and modem to EL13, will this cause me to be unable to use a ROM based on EK02? How important is it to keep the 3 things on the same version?

From some things I've read on xda there are a few miui "ics" builds going around that they've added some type of ics framework to and possibly hacked the version # in about phone to show 4.0 but it's still really gingerbread at its core.

I got CM9 via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356228 and it is amazing. There are so many little annoyances that are fixed in ICS and it all adds up to a very smooth user experience. Not sure what they mean as MMS being flaky, I haven't noticed anything as of yet. Few things I love so far: Stackable shortcuts You can have a photo now for your previously grey box in MMS conversations(there is a profile option for your MMS stuff now.) Gmail Widget? I don't think that was there before but it's nice just seeing the emails there. Google bar on top of screen that doesn't take up a row. Widgets are now in your dock screen on a separate tab Things I don't like. Weird widget sizes. I don't want widgets that are 3x3. Can't sync facebook with your contacts.

Not sure if this is the best thread to ask this but I'm having a really weird problem with my android phone and I can't find any info about it anywhere else. I have an LG optimus s running gROM. Before even installing pdanet or the wireless tether app it seems to have a bluetooth DUN (dial up networking) option when I pair it with my laptop. (I assume this is part of the custom rom?) So I figured I would set it up to dial #777 like I have done with phones in the past to get internet on my laptop. The problem is that it only works in certain situations that don't seem to make sense: It will work fine when my phone is connected to a wifi network and NOT connected to my laptop via usb. It will work fine when my phone is NOT connected to wifi (or wifi is disabled) but IS connected to my computer via usb. It will not work when it is NOT connected to a wifi network and NOT connected to my computer via usb. Hilariously I just tested it more and found out that the usb connection condition applies if it is connected to ANY computer (not necessarily the one trying to get internet from it...) I have double checked that the internet is not being shared via the usb because once I am connected via bluetooth, I can disconnected the usb and still have internet access on my laptop... Also I am sure that the internet connection that it is sharing via bluetooth is not the wifi because it is much slower and not the same external ip address. To be clear, when it doesn't work the dialer in windows will get a "error 678 the remote computer did not respond" error. On top of this, both PDAnet and one of the wireless tether apps both can create their own extra bluetooth DUN services but both will only work in the same weird set of circumstances... Hopefully someone else has seen some sort of issue like this before. If not I am going to assume it is some sort of weird ROM bug and try flashing another one or going back to stock and see if it works like it should. I have been able to get the tethering via wifi to work OK, but for what I am using it for I would much rather be using the bluetooth DUN for internet.

So, I've kinda screwed up my Asus Transformer. I wanted to get access to Cisco VPNs, and I thought the best way was to root my Transformer and install the app. I used the one-click install program... but it failed, and I never worked out why. It still booted, though, so I accepted it. I still can't accept updates, though. I tried a factory reset, with no luck. I'm currently running 3.2.1, and this is the image I get when I attempt an update.  I no longer want it rooted, as AnyConnect compatibility is coming out with Ice Cream Sandwich. I just want to get it back to stock, and be able to accept updates again. Is there any simple way of doing this?

OhGodMyFeet posted:So, I've kinda screwed up my Asus Transformer. If you want to fix this you're going to have to install a custom recovery and use that to flash a stock ROM. I don't know anything about Transformers but on some phones you'll also have to flash the stock recovery to accept an update. (And on some you don't.)

OhGodMyFeet posted:OK, will do. Will I have to re-root it to do that? I'm sure on xda there's some thread somewhere that talks one through returning a Transformer to stock which in theory shouldn't be much beyond flashing a stock ROM in a custom recovery and then getting the stock recovery on there. The process differs significantly per device so I can't really offer advice aside from generalities.

It seems like there are a bunch of options for rooting the Nexus Prime, and I'm confused as to which one I should use. What method are people most recommending for rooting it now? Are people mostly using Superboot? EDIT: Using the LTE Prime. Beer4TheBeerGod fucked around with this message at 14:48 on Dec 16, 2011 |

What method are people most recommending for rooting it now? Are people mostly using Superboot? I did the ADB + fastboot. Really simple once the drivers are installed. Then its just "fastboot oem unlock," push su.zip, boot into clockwork recovery to flash su, and reboot. I think superboot may be quicker, but I think this is the "right" way to root a Nexus, though I say that never having owned one before. Edit: if only it was the Nexus Prime! Also, a couple guides on the fastboot way linked to a G+ post by a koush. The comments section on that post had lots of helpful tips, like if CWM doesn't think it can mount an SD card or find su.zip.

I find it hilarious how many people call themselves "devs" on XDA. I've noticed a crap load of these guys don't actually release anything until an actual developer releases a new build that has features added/removed/fixed. Then all of the sudden there's an influx of UBERBUILDS that are really just broken ROMS with loving horrible themes attached to them. Really it just makes me feel kind of bad for the guys who do the actual work as they have their efforts stolen and repackaged to work less efficiently and 100% more painful to look at.

Keyan and his minons have been posting "look at me!" pictures of Sensations and E3D's running ICS for weeks. Keyan claims it's daily drivable but isn't releasing it yet until bugs are squashed. So no one really knows a time table. It was looking good for a 2011 release but I know most of the key players are doing finals this week so I'm guessing mid January at the earliest. One thing I will say though is the attention whore posting from the Sensation/E3D CM team are getting really old. Also, I can be 99% sure that WiMax and 3D stuffs will be broken in CM9 at launch.

There's nothing usable yet. Honestly at the rate it's been going, you are probably not going to see a ICS ROM that is even mostly functional until after HTC releases an official one.
