Saw a few people requesting a copy of the recovery files so here they are, if someone can upload these to a better host I'm sure it would be much appreciated.

Good man
Thank you, i apreciate it!
Thank you!
I cant download though as reached limit
can anyone who already download upload it to another locations ?
Thanx
i buyed a premium account just to download this, i will try to upload to somewhere else, maybe a torrent...
Does anyone know if this Surface RT Recovery download will work on an Asus VivoTab RT that I have? I ask because the VivoTab has GPS, NFC and higher spec camera so wonder if the Surface Recovery will overwrite those software features/drivers.

yes i think that this will work, anything new that you have it will detect and install a update in case you need it.

so, i just need to turn it on with the volume down button pressed ? if yes, this is not working for me, got the same surfasse screen as ever....
---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------
out maybe the problem is that the usb drive is not bootable, if that is the case, maybe we need a usb iso, instead of just the files....
I think you can create a bootable usb via pc settings. then put the recovery files on the same usb. try that.
can you believe I am still downloading part 1 at 77kb per second? only 31% done and 3 parts to go. uploaded.net is not very good
have you managed to upload it anywhere else please arqueiro?
my upload rate is very very low, 100kb so will take a lot to upload it too, pm me and i send you my account name and password, since i buyed a premium accont just for this
Got it in dropbox, split into chunks, I'll upload it to a torrent later as well..

Which version of what?
Got it sat in dropbox but it wants contact/email addresses for sharing it, I'll see if I can make it a public folder, not sure if thats a "pay" option or not tho, never really used DB for that before..
The Torrent option would require me to upload it to a site of some description which might be a bit dodgy as far as rules etc go this end..

saying 3hrs for my dropbox to sync, its ~3.5gb so you might need to give it a while..
what i mean was: did you make a iso file from the usb? or just copy the files ?
thanks
Not got anything to create an ISO with, however if you create a bootable USB and copy the files it should work as expected.

Hi.. when i plug it in it does say usb connected, but when I scroll down and hit "connect" and nothing happens..

Is the Dolphin Browser easier to use? ... If so.. Im all for that!
In my oppinion yes. Its very easy. Its free on the market i use it for all my web browsing works like a pc web browser. Im on here on my phone now. I download all my files with the phone so i dont have to transfer between my pc and phone. If u download dolphin get on xda u can just download the overclock kernel right to it. In dolphin if u push menu dolphin settings data storage settings u can choose anywhere u want dolphin too save your files.

Okay.. I have downloaded the overclock and stock kernel on Dolphin..
Do I go to rom manager , next.. How do I get it to my sd card?
Thank you for all your help!!!
Open dolphin push menu then more then settings then data storage settings then download directory and change it too /sdcard/external_sd then go to xda on your phone and download the overclock kernel it wll download it to your sd card then turn off you phone and then hold volume up and volume down buttons and push the power button the release the power button it will boot into cwm recovery. Wipe your cache then choose install zip from sd card choose the overclock kernel you downloaded and flash it then select reboot system now
Well heck.... Dolphine browser is awesome, but it won't let me change the file name to /sdcard/external_sd? I'm a Powerlifter.. I have squatted 900lbs but this is killing me!..lol..
Okay.. changed the name.. went into recovery and found " install zip for sd card"
got that,.. now that next screen did not have.. "install zip from internal sd card" anywhere on the list?...
I don't think it downloaded...lol
Download it again
---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------
If its still not there change the download directory in dolphin too /sdcard then download it. Then boot into cwm choose install zip from sd card then the menu will change then select choose zip from internal sd card

I downloaded it many times.. changed the name of the file on Dolphin.. go into reboot and i navigate to install zip from sdcard" then go down to zip from internal sdcard and it has everything but that file in the list...
Does it automatically send it to the sdcard from once I download from Dolphin, or do I have to do it myself? ( manual)??
Yeah like i said if u open dolphin browser and click menu then more then settings and click download directory and change it too what i said it makes that the location it downloads all your fikes too. Andbit stays that way
.. if i was you id download astro file manager from the market its free open it and look around for the file when u see it click on it itll tell you the location it was saved too. Then just click on it and click copy and you can move the file by pasting it where ever you want. Im really not sure why ur not finding it. But if you have yahoo messenger i can get on there and talk u throught it easier if u need it.

---------- Post added at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------
To adjust your cpu clock. Download the app called setcpu on the market open it and it allows you to change the min and max speed to over clock just change the max to higher then what it is. When you first open it click autodetect speed. Thenbyou can manually make it higher. A warning though dont check auto set on boot because if you get reboots and have it set on boot youll get very frustrated

Yes they are but he seemed pretty set on it soo.... i know i am happy with stock rooted rom pleanty fast enough for me. Haha my sgs2 was better but i like the bigger screen and lte. My womans evo 3d seems like a major step down in comparrison. Im content until we get our ics update
I know this is going to sound silly but is there any way to roll back to previous firmware after an update?
yes you can, after the update, if you have not deleted the backup, simply go to settings->phone->update. In there you will see a restore button with a date on it. Hopefully that should work.

The restore button is not there as I expected, the same thing happen to me before where Zune back ups disappear from the default folder you just mention. I know this as fact because the last back up did show up and the restore button was there then one day while checking for updates it just vanished, I was like WTF? So I actually copied a back up from like 5-11 but I don't know how to make Zune see the pks file I tried to use the Windows Support tool app but it tells me "a prior backup does not exist in the proper location to restore to your device". Please help, I don't want to go to Android or iPhone. Thanks.
I'm assuming you're trying to make zune see the pks file, but aren't backups made in .dat and .hash file formats? this is pretty annoying

Yea I know it's anoying; when I went to the default folder where Zune saves the back upfiels all I saw was this pks file, I'm thinking that if there were were a dat or hash file, I might have missed them; in that case I'm out of luck.

Yes Sir, I still have the back up; I'll try your link. Thank you so much.
So I want to refresh my Windows 8 RT tablet but I get the error: "Insert Media. Some files are missing. Your Windows installation or recovery media will provide these files."
I checked the recovery partition and it is healthy and 4 gigs in size. I can't even remove everything and reinstall. Same error.
Maybe there is a way to access this hidden system partition and manually execute the install or backup.
Any help please?

I know the other person meant well but if you could upload to a different file sharing I would appreciate it. The one he uses is giving me problems and I can't download and have to wait 3 hours for my next attempt and between each download.
Maybe even on skydrive and make file public for say 48 hours.
Yeha no worries, got the USB here so will find somewhere to stick it, so to speak...

Recovery files are in recovery partition. There are two files, install.wim and install.md5
I solved this way:
I assigned letter F: a recovery partition with diskpart, and I wrote the following command
reagentc.exe /setosimage /path F: /target c:\Windows /Index 1
In this way, I was able to refresh the tablet, from settings menu.
Anyway, I'm really disappointed by Asus...

I have a Chinese ZTE V955 phone.
This model appears in the list of the Google approved phones and seems to work extremely well.
The Android version is 4.0.4. Kernel version 3.0.21 –perf.
For some reason there are no Google apps on this telephone, which is extremely frustrating.
Also there is no way to add a Google user to “Accounts and sync”.
I understood there is a way of adding the Google Play store after rooting the phone.
After a lot of searching and trying, I have been able to root this telephone in an instant with ICS Root Unlocker 1.0.
I have Superuser and Total Commander can write to protected files.
I found a GoogleLoginService apk and a GoogleServicesFramework apk, which I installed.
After that I was able to add a Google account in accounts and Sync.
I was also able to install Google Talk and I can log in.
Then I installed several versions of the Google Play apk.
The application starts, loads some 48k data and the stops with the message “Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped”. Behind that message there is another message that probably asks for the user to accept or decline the Google conditions, but I cannot click because of the first message on top.
Some sites suggest to copy the vendor.apk to the system/app directory and install it after changing that file’s permissions. I did not try that because I’m a little scared of upsetting this directory.
Can anyone help me further ?
Can I flash the Gapps package without flashing a new Rom I don't seem to find one for this phone) ?
Do I need to edit the etc/hosts file ?
Thanks a lot.

Hi there, i am planning to get this phone as spare. Is it recommended?
Hy! Have you guys solved rooting and gapps problems? Did you had any other problems? I don't wanna throw 80 bucks out the window. Thanks!
So my Nvidia Shield is in route after a much anticipated wait to finally having some extra funds to purchase one. I recall a while back with the most esteemed certainty when I check on the Nvidia shield tab of my Geforce experience was that the card was compatible with my ASUS G75VW laptop. When I updated my drivers today I looked at the shield tab and it said my PC is not ready for streaming to the shield... Evidently by some genius gesture, nvidia decided to make the card below mine (GTX 660M) and the card above mine (GTX 680M) compatible, yet mine the GTX 670M is not. . . Are there any workarounds to this that I may not be aware of or am I just SOL because of Nvidia's genius?
I was actually sent here from the nvidia forums where an actually moderator mentioned there may be some workaround here. I assume there is a way to bypass it but I am unfamiliar with this so called "rooting" process and if there is a guide some where where I can get this thing working I would really much appreciate it xD.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/oxrryya4ffs4w6u/tr-1.apk
First install any updates for Apps as well as the Shields Firmware if you have not already.
THEN
Download the App in the above link, make sure you have "Unknown Sources" checked in the "Security" section of the "Settings" App, otherwise it won't install, then just tap it in the notification centre or in a file manager, install, open, click "Make It Ra1n", wait for it to finish, wait an additional 20 seconds, then reboot. You'll have Root Access (but NOT an Unlocked Bootloader or a Custom Recovery, so NOTHING WILL BE DELETED!)
If that does not work try downgrading your graphics cards driver, it might have a bug if it worked before.
DISCLAIMER: IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THIS TO BRICK YOUR DEVICE IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL BUT THAT IS STILL VERY UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN!!!!

The above says streaming with a mobile GPU works if you have at least GeForce Experience 2.0 installed on your computer. It also says that sometimes streaming does not work and that a reboot of the computer is needed.

First install any updates for Apps as well as the Shields Firmware if you have not already.
THEN
Download the App in the above link, make sure you have "Unknown Sources" checked in the "Security" section of the "Settings" App, otherwise it won't install, then just tap it in the notification centre or in a file manager, install, open, click "Make It Ra1n", wait for it to finish, wait an additional 20 seconds, then reboot. You'll have Root Access (but NOT an Unlocked Bootloader or a Custom Recovery, so NOTHING WILL BE DELETED!)
If that does not work try downgrading your graphics cards driver, it might have a bug if it worked before.
DISCLAIMER: IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THIS TO BRICK YOUR DEVICE IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL BUT THAT IS STILL VERY UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN!!!!

Thanks for all the great info, but what exactly does that file do for my shield as far as the purpose of "Rooting" it?
