Hey Guys, I'm new here and am not a pro at rooting phones but have done it several times. On GB, I tricked my droid razr into thinking it was a Droid3, so I could install and play a Game (Order and Chaos) from the market (it isn't compatible with the Razr). All worked fine following the instructions on editing the build.prop.
When i had to reformat to upgrade to ICS, that method ended up bricking my phone, resulting in hours of un-bricking it.
Wondering if there is a way to do this same type of "tricking", so that I am able to play the game on this phone, like I used to.
I have eclipse ROM installed (newest since ICS update.
Anyone know or have done this?
Also, I have a galaxy tab 2 7", and it also won't allow me to play the game. Is tehre a way to hack it and get it to work?
Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi there, I'm rooted on 3.1 and wondering if its OK to go back to 3.0 without any issues? I'm US wifi xoom btw and used public animals method to root 3.1. OK thanks!
Here you can download the stock images from the MOTODEV site:
http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/
Download the corresponding image, and follow the instructions on this site. It's pretty straight forward, and should get you back to HC 3.0.1.
Not development, moved to Q&A.
he beat me...fast tonite.
why would you want to do this?
I have heard that when 3.1 got pushed some people started having problems with various games getting FC errors that were fine before the update. Maybe that is his reason? Also is any one else here getting FC errors on GameLoft games after the 3.1 update? I now have two (they offered the second one for free after i reported issues with the first) games from them and both are having issues.
I rooted my Nook tablet per Indirect's guide and everything seemed to work flawlessly. I have the android market, and installed the Amazon market and messed around with things briefly before bed. Today various apps like busybox and and titanium backup are telling me they need root. Superuser is installed and my various markets still work fine.
I read Indirect's ENTIRE THREAD tonight at work and the only thing I could think maybe happened is similar to this recent post.
Im pretty much an android noob. My Nook Tablet shows version 9.9.9 Is there some way to verify I didnt update to 1.4.1 and break root while I was in the process of doing it or am I completely over looking something? I figured I would check here before trying to downgrade and reroot the Nook Tablet.
Hope I didnt leave anything out.
After some discussion on IRC and trying to su from terminal it appears that my Nook Tablet did update to 1.4.1 while I was rooting it.
i,
I'm new here, I hope I'm posting this in the right forum. My apologies if not.
I have a rooted Verizon Droid 4 running Gingerbread. I had busybox installed to root it, and I configured it using the Droid utility on OS X some months ago. I used Titanium Backup (with root) to freeze the bloatware.
Fast forward to a couple days ago, when Verizon pushed the ICS update to it's phones. I downloaded it and ran it, and it reported "update failed", then I smacked myself in the head and remembered that I didn't un-root the phone.
So I disabled root via busybox, and then retried the update. It downloaded and ran, and now it gets stuck at the Droid animation screen (the one after the "M" "Dual Core" screen).
I'm thinking it's because I did not unfreeze those apps through Titanium?
In any case, I've tried restoring it to Gingerbread (219) (VRZ_XT894_6.5.1-167_DR4-1_M1-219_1FF_01.xml), and it fails on step 6/18 (cdt.bin).
I understand that you can't flash back to Gingerbread from Ice Cream Sandwich, but I'm not sure if ICS ever went all the way through.
Right now I'm downloading the ICS fastboot files (I've been attempting all these restorations via RSD Lite on a mac pro with bootcamp, and a factory cable that I made from the instructions on here (what a pain in the ass that soldering was)).
Does anyone have any advice on what to do to return my phone to stock? I can't get it to do anything.
Many, many thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help. I've been tearing my hair out over this for the last 3 days.
lol man thank god us Samsung people have Odin...
Is there a stock ICS image out yet?
Can you get into recovery or just bootloader?
I don't think this would have been hard to find if you had looked, but here's where you should be asking your questions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1503
Actually, you'll likely be able to find a thread detailing how to return to stock anyway. The problem is that, as you guessed, you didn't unfreeze those stock apps and processes before taking the update.
I hope you're able to restore to GB as ICS isn't perfect yet because of VZ's tweaking and I don't think it's worthwhile unless you're going to a custom Rom. At least now you know how to handle things in the future, though I wouldn't recommend taking updates until they've been out for a bit and problems have been dealt with.
Hello
I just got a Kindle Fire 6.3.1 from a friend in America (i'm in Australia). After I realised that I can't really use the Kindle Fire here I started researching how to change it to a Android.
FYI - I'm not at all computer savvy
So... I managed to root it and installed superuser. I also managed to find the jelly bean file and google app files and uploaded it to my Kindle. I then managed to get into team win - did a back up, wiped the cache and delvik cache but when I went to install and then flash the zips it always says error can't flash.
I also allowed other apps in the kindle settings.
I don't know what to do or what i'm doing wrong. I've spent about 2 days trying to do this and I'm starting to think that maybe I just don't have the magic computer touch.
I would really really appreciate any help.
thank you
P.S I have a MAC
Might I suggest rooting it and posting this in the Kindle Fire thread.
I would suggest taking a look at the Jelly Bean Roms.
I have recently purchased a refurbished Verizon Xoom 3G with Honeycomb on it. Once I connected the device to the internet I got the ICS OTA update bringing me up to 4,0.4. I purchased this device thinking Xoom has Jelly Bean now. Verizon however has still not released the JB update and I want JB on my Xoom.
My question is what is the easiest way to root / flash this device? I have flashed custom roms / recovery apps on several other tablets (Viewsonic Gtab, Nexus 7, Kindle Fire etc... I would like to use TWRP just because I'm a noob and it's easy but if getting CWM on this device is easier I'm ok with trying that too.
I am wanting to flash the CM10 rom since the thread states it works with the Everest version of the Xoom. My other question since this is my first 3G tablet, do I have to do anything special once the new ROM is flashed to reactivate my Verizon service? I'm assuming I just need to go back in to the system settings and choose to activate device like I did in ICS to setup the 3G connection like I did originally.
I know this is a noob question so go easy on me I have found a few different options on here so far but I wanted to ask users with this device what the most dummy proof method they have used is.
Thanks for reading!
Hi, follow the guides int he development thread.
You need to flash a recovery (I like TWRP) , and then choose a ROM. I currently like the rom from TeamEOS as it is full featured and popular, but there are more.
In general, research a little and pick something which fits. BRD may have 4g working for 4.2.1 soon I've heard, but you can use other roms until this is working and you don't want to 'test'.
