I bought the TF103C last weekend and really enjoy it besides a couple issues. I realized today that I was unable to write to my SD card using FX(File Explorer) or Microsoft Excel. I have done some searching on the forum, but I'm not sure the difference between the TF101 and the TF103, so I'm unsure of the correct answers. My questions are:
1. Is the only way to write to the SD card to root my device?
2.When I plug the tablet into my PC, I am able to see my device as "K010". I have files in the Documents folder, but when navigating to "K010\Internal storage\Documents" it says "This folder is empty", why?
3.What is the best way to root this device currently, and how well does lollipop run? I have seen some people saying everything works, while others say practically nothing works. Whats has everyone experienced?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi all,
I am completely new to smartphones, etc. searching the web I found reference to:
[APP][v1.1 release]Enhance your phone in one amazing toolbox——ZDbox by Ikaola and signed up and downloaded the file. My problem now is I do not know what to do with it. How do I install it?
It seems from the replies/comments that this is a very useful application.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Don't bother
mate, if you are completely new to smartphones, then you shouldn't be messing with something you don't understand. I have been using my Desire (first smartphone) for 8 months almost, and I know I still know crap about it despite rooting it and flashing it.
Stay away from the toolbox and play with the phone in other ways.
Alternatively, if you want an easy way to install apps (.apk), go to your Market app and search for appinstaller. Using your SD card to download various apps from here and wherever else, you can install them without HTC Sync or a computer at all.
Cheers.
Thanks
Thank you for the advice.
When I posted the question I wasn't thinking clearly. I had downloaded the app to my PC and then wondered how to get it installed on the phone. The logical thing would have been to download directly to the phone. I will try to be more alert before asking another dumb question.
Thank you for your courtesy.
you can connect your phone to your PC in usb storage mode and transfer it to your sd card. from there I recommend using Astro file Manager from the market place to install it.
I didnt see an obvious section for xdandroid questions, so i hope its okay to post a couple here; forgive me and redirect me if not, please...
1. I'm running xdandroid frx07 on my htc touch pro off the sdcard. Is it possible to swap sdcards while running the xdandroid system? im guessing no.
2. If I cant hot swap the sd card, then (this may be silly to some but I'm tired) are there any android specific files that can NOT be read by Windows Mobile 6.1?
3. Is it possible to install xdandroid to the device itself so as to free up the sd card for normal data storage and transport between devices? For instance, I would like to install it to "\(lowest possible dir)\xdandroid\" instead of "\sdcard\" ("I know I probably won't be able to completely over-write the WM6x OS, so Windows will have its own folder tree branch and xdandroid will have its own as well. I already have Haret in the WM startup list so I never see WM except for when I boot without the sd card inserted (Haret just errors out because it cant find the files to boot linux).
4. I also would like to know if anyone knows where I can find and turn OFF everything that actually uses or relies on the Sprint/CDMA cellular network (I dont have a carrier, I use it strictly on wi-fi as a miniature internet terminal/remote control for PC & PS3). I would love it if someone could direct me toward a generic/non-carrier branded ROM to flash, that would do the trick!
5. Just kidding; I won't write another question yet, I think these are good enough for now. Thanks in advance for any and all serious responses
Hey there,
The touch pro is in the legacy device forums, here is the rom link fyi : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171070.
You would be better off asking for help in that thread
Trying to root my moms new nook (her request) and was rolling along until I hit the nook zergy screen (in red) and it won't read the device to root. I'm basically at step 5/5 just can't see what im missing. I've exhausted Google on this and can't seem to find an answer. I'm noobish to this so from prior experience do I need sdk tools for windows?
Everything is installed (drivers etc) NO SD CARD INSTALLED (make a difference?)
Admins plz move if I posted in wrong area. First post and was directed to general q&a for this questioned instead of the forum I pulled the root info from. Thanks
Anybody.....anybody?
I had the exact same problem. Zergy asked if I saw the nook and I typed "n" and pressed enter and it said something about lieing and I couldnt proceed. Now the computer doesnt recognize the tablet at an android device in device manager. (I unplugged it and tried to do the process over again...)
I am also facing same problem. Tried in Six deferent pc with no luck.
I am using the device out side USA.
Please help indirect .......... We are in no way

Hello Everyone,
I know that I could be in the wrong thread.
I have a major problem, and I can assure you guys that I have been on google the whole afternoon between French and English pages but I still can't find a solution for THIS problem : I erased/deleted files (epub files) on the INTERNAL MEMORY on the Tab ( Galaxy Tab 2 7" P6200, UNROOT, Android 3.2 )
The tab has been reboot twice.
I had tried many many programs but recover droid or recover and so on didn't recorgnize the tab (so i have been on google again, and by what I read, the tab is on MTP). Each time, I plugged the usb, it's plug and recorgnized on my window explorer and it's on MTP and I tried with DEBUG and Not Debug.
I also download Hexamob pro but mine tablet it's not root.
I'm wondering if I ROOT the tablet, in which so many people say that the tablet could be used as a Mass storage USB, and I could used recover prog so that could recover my deleted files. But by rooting the tablet would I lose and relose the files so I won't ever be able to recover the files? wipe the tablet and being all new, without nothing.
I just hope in however solutions I could recover my books I had more than 600 books and I lost them all and they were quite important and it would take me ages before I could study them. Actually, I was going to copy them today but I just lost them.
If anyone could help me, i really really appreciate that. Really, and if i seach for an IT person would that person able to recover the files? I'm just wishing that now tablet or phones have their own delete bin which i go could and unerase my mistake.
Hope that anyone could help me. Please, I'm really desparate, not crying because I need to focus to try to find a solution.

The more you use the tab, the more chance those files will/have been over written and any slim chance of recovery will be gone.
To use those decent recovery apps like hexamob, obviously you need root. As I implied, there will be no guarantees.
Is up to you, root your tab and try recovery app. If it it's that important, it's worth potentially voiding any warranty, do it. You can always unroot after.

Flash the tab with cwm recovery, boot into recovery mode, the mount internal sd, it will show up as mass storage on pc, the. Use your program to undelete
Again, chance you can recover are small, and even you can recover, your files will be more likely broken and fragmented, i did it many time as well, my music files are all messed up. You can only get tye books names and redownload it, i suggest torrent

I hope I'm not doing soemthing wrong here, but I've given up trying to update my Xooms. So I copy my post on Questions & Answers to this area. 50 views got no response over there. Any relevant information might get me interested again. Thank You, and please delete this post if it's out of order.

(newby with two xooms,a kindle fire, and Linux Mint 17) I love Xoom.
"I have two identical xooms. The model number lists as "Xoom". Android version is 4 .1.2 , build JZ054K, kernal version 2.6.39.4-g4e32b94 . I've been trying for days to update at least one of them. I'm using a Linux Mint 17 desktop. No Windows available.
I've tried everything I found on these forums, and nothing has worked. I have 32gb external sd cards in both of them. My first trak was to do it from the SD card but I found that recovery cannot see my SD card. I also tried putting " BigPart" in a directory called downloads, but that didn't help. I also tried loading it onto the internal card. Can't see it either way.
I downloaded the Linux android files and plugged in the USB cable. I could talk to the Xoom, and tell it to reboot the bootlooder into fastboot or recovery, and the Xoom would reboot but lock up at the "loading fastboot" screen. I tried sideloading the BigPart file, but the install would fail on validation. If I try to enter fastboot by rebooting it locks on the loading screen. If I load recovery on boot it appears to come up but It can't see the SD cards or accept the files from the computer (From adb).
One of these Xoom's I gedfied and the other was a google device when I bought it. Both got all of their last bunch of updates thru Google, until Google dropped them. Could the google updates have left something needed out??
As I understand the process getting Big part on the device is the first step. I have all needed files for the upgrade,on my SD cards and on my Linux machine. I just can't use them. Anyone have any ideas? Does anyone know where and what the OS is looking for during that attempted USB update??"
Hi there,
Sorry but this section is for helping guide new members on where to find their answer on XDA.
If you already founded the right place to ask, then wait there an answer or ask again in the general section for Android Q&A:
