I am a sign language interpreter and need access to some websites that demonstrate how to perform signs. I have rooted, unrooted, rerooted to froyo (not the BN version) and still can't get the site to work. can anyone help me to figure out how to get this working? I will give you two sample sites aslpro.com and signingsavvy.com. ASLpro says it is a browser issue, so I wanted to try mozilla but I couldn't get it download. Let me know what you find and which version or root I should go with to get these able to work. I currently have nookie froyo 2.2 downloaded but I don't like the smart phone format it uses on the nook color. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
using cm7 with b&n's version of flash both these sites play video just fine. I imagine since i'm using the same flash that comes with BN froyo, that should work too.
Hello all,
I need help recovering my semi bricked tab. Here is what I have done so far.
I have tried to flashing the tab but having issues with it.
I successfully loaded Virtuous Xoom v.1.1.2 onto my Acer A500. After playing around with it, I felt that I was not ready for it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167391
So I flashed a 3.1 image to the tablet, now google.app fails. I was able for a moment to install Acer Recovery App, but the tablet is not rooted yet.
Im unable to download any more apps for the market place. Ie terminal or file explore to apply the root.
Only have access to stock recovery, so unable to push 3.2 back on the tablet.
Have tried to adb device, yet it does not list it. And I dont have "Settings" to wipe to factory.
Any suggestion to fix my tab.
Thanks.
Well, Im fixed the problem by resetting the information. Found a method by using the hardware buttons to invoke a data reset.

Hey guys. I got an Atrix today and I want to install the HDMI Webtop hack, but I'm confused.
There's a load of talk of HKDW and such... Can someone please just list what I need to do to install the WebTop hack, I know it'll be rooting and such but what thread's/file's will I need, what will I need to do first?
I'm on T-Mobile U.K, 2.3.4, Build 4.5.2 and Webtop version 1.2.0.
Please help, thanks
You will need root. and I recommend installing CMW. Use the search button on the forum and Google and it should explain everything for you
I don't know what CMW is. I've tried searching and such and it's confusing me, hence this thread.
CMW= ClockworkMod Recovery. Trust me when I got into the Android game (coming from a iPhone) this was all Korean to me. But with enough reading and time this will all make sense. If it doesn't you might not even want to try getting into it. Especially because there is always a chance of turning your phone into a glorified paper weight
Aye. Got ADB Installed, Rooted, and am currently using Webtop on my HDTV
Are there any Webtop apps you can install?
However, this Atrix is awesome
Atrix is more than a att stock rom, i advice you to read about custom roms, may be you'll it interesting.
I've been struggling with the webtop mod for a little while now. I have it to the point now where i plug in my hdmi cable and get the option on my phone for mirroring but when i click it nothing happens. Same thing for picking the gallery and music options. The entertainment option works fine. Anyone have any suggestions?
have fun dealing with the webtop stuff! I had it for awhile.. and... at one point I just gave up because there's so much you can do.
and so much that can go wrong. lol. if you know LINUX though, you will be able to do it pretty well

On a whim i downloaded kingroot from their website, and sideloaded it to my tv. ran it, and i am rooted! i was very surprised since aftvnews said this firmware wasn't rootable.
https://kingroot.net/
sideload using adb over wifi, or toss it on a usb stick or sd card and install it with es file manager or similar.
i can toss up a video if anyone needs proof.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=430mVIUrkog there we go.
now just need to see if someone can get a build of twrp running on this thing so i can get xposed. XD
Maybe it will work on my 2nd Gen Fire TV.
Attempted root
I tried to root my Element Fire TV on Ver. 5.2.5.1 using King root and it failed. Afterwards none of the home page items would load up just the very top bar where you can select settings. However I was able to factory reset it and everything is back to normal.

Have you been brave enough to try it?
Also how you suppose I could go about getting the fire TV version of the app store. I accidentally overwrote mine with the tablet version. It messed some things up...

Yeah it got to 80 then failed
Is root required to get Play Store running on this?

Can you tell me what arm version the TV runs on ?, If its not 64 bit and you can connect with ADB over usb there is a possibility that my guide I made for the fire stick v1 on installing xposed before a recovery was released could work, especially if you can factory reset the TV then you would have no loss for trying.
pretty sure it is arm64, and i don't have an A-A cable, which i assume would be needed for the tv, since it only has A ports.

Yes well i know it worked with the original firestick I've no sure way of saying it would work for any other device to be honest, when I was searching for ways to install xposed on the firestick before rbox released a recovery I was trial and erroring alot of things and wasn't too bothered of bricking because I'd of been able to get another quite cheap. If there is a sure fire way of a recovery from anything on the fire TV then I'd say give it a shot but if there isn't anyway of recovering from a non boot situation I'd not suggest it.
Timduru's KatKiss MM 6.0.1 ROM running stable with no bootlooping GUIDE
As many of you know that have tried to bring your TF101 back to life with timduru's KatKiss 6.0.1 ROM. I've been working with this tablet for about the past week and finally got this thing running stable with the play store and has not bootlooped once.
First all credit to timduru for this rom. All I did was figure out a way to get play store on it without all the rebooting. Now that I've got this thing running stable it's definitely a clean ROM and very fast and efficient. The actuall KatKiss thread has a bajillion posts and way too much reading, and since it's the most updated ROM that people are likely to be using or wanting to use I made this thread/guide so you all can enjoy it also without the bootlooping.
YOU'LL NEED A LINUX VIRTUAL MACHINE OR COMPUTER. I used Ubuntu 18.04.
1.)First of all, if you don't already have the ROM and SuperSU you can download it from timduru's thread
KatKiss 6.0.1 by timduruSuperSU BETA 2.52 from timduru's thread2.)Do a fresh install of the ROM from TWRP
3.)Install the F-Droid app
4.)In F-Droid Settings, Enable "Expert Mode" and "Unstable Updates"
5.)Add a repository for MicroG "https://microg.org/fdroid/repo" leave fingerprint blank
6.)From F-Droid search and install
a.)microG Services Coreb.)microG Service Framework Proxyc.)Apple UnifiedNlp Backendd.)NominatimNlpBackendNow is when you have to break open your linux machine...
7.) Make sure you have ADB and fastboot setup properly
PHP:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
8.) Then we're going to use ale5000's "tingle" from GitHub to achieve signature spoofing. The method posted using Haystack no longer works.
PHP:
git clone https://github.com/ale5000-git/tingle
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3 p7zip-full default-jre android-tools-adb
sudo apt install python
9.) Once it's all setup connect your tablet to your Linux machine via USB. MTP mode and enable USB debugging.
10.)
PHP:
cd tingle
python main.py
Select "1" and press enter
11.)Let the commands do their thing, it may take 2-3 minutes, it'll finish automatically. Once done reboot tablet
12.)Open MicroG Settings in your app drawer
a.)Tap “Permission Missing” and give all permissionsb.)Enable “Google device registration”c.)Enable “Google Cloud Messaging”d.)Go in “UnifiedNlp Settings”, tap both “location backend” and “address lookup backends” and enable the backends there.e.)Go back to the main menu of microG Settings and goto “Self-Check”, check “Battery optimizations ignored”You'll know everything's set up right if you see "System Spoofs Signature is checkmarked on its own
13.)Download the latest Play Store APK and rename it to "com.android.vending.apk"
14.) Then in terminal, be in the same directory as the location of the play store apk you downloaded and run these commands
PHP:
adb remount
adb shell mkdir /system/priv-app/Phonesky
adb push com.android.vending.apk /system/priv-app/Phonesky/
15.) Reboot and log in to Play Store with no issues.
All credits to timduru for the rom and leading me down the path of searching for working signature spoof options. and credit to ale5000 for his tingle program. I hope this helps all of you. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Thank you for the great guide.
Does Google Play Store works well after all those steps? (Self-Check in microG shows all marks checked)
I've authorized properly but it shows "Error retrieving information from server. DF-DFERH-01" after.
Great guide. Quick question. When you say download googleplay apk, which version? Where from? Is this the genuine google play store or G-apps? Going to try this at home tonight.
great guide
has anyone had any luck with this? personally I can't open any apps downloaded from playstore
Also get a message after boot:" Nominatim Geocoder Backend isn't responding"
ANy hint on how to update Android Webview
Chrome and other apps do not work
Thnx! Works great
Chrome v 49 works well for me.. the later ones crashes.
Got use for the old device again..
Just installed this...(without playstore)
Now what apps do you guys recommend for smooth video and web browsing and file managers?
And where do you download from ?
hello, just went through the whole process and my tf101 works but: cant get play store to work, every time i sign in i get a message that tells me i have already signed in and the play store will not open up. by play store I mean com.android.vending.apk , and I used my laptop running Mint to push every script in the order and directory as described in this post. before closing I would like to thank aarron and Timduru and others like them for the hard work that has let me make my phones and this tf101 something really special and blast to use. btw, the tf101 does work, and no bootloops!
Hey, I just went through your tutorial and everything seems to be working perfectly. Great job and thank you!!!
Dusted off my old tf101 and tried this set up and I was not able to get playstore working, went back to the old setup with v 6.0 and g-apps and back to boot loop, I will attempt the whole set up again. Thank you for your works guys.
I also tried this guide, I'm able to install apps from the Google Play store, but almost every app that I try to open made the TF101 crash and reboot. For some apps by google, it goes into bootloop. Similar issues also for apps installed via F-Droid. @aaron2z I'm wondering if this guide is still valid and if there is a specific version of Google play and other apps such youtube and hangout that are supposed to be used in order to avoid bootloop.
Thanks

Hi !
I tried this great guide. Thank you !
Despiste this guide, I have problems with apps from Google Play Store : self-boot, bootloops.
I'm trying to install APK apps directly without Google Play Store. TF101 seems to be stable, for the moment...
Hi!
I also got the bootloop and google play errors, so I decided to go without google services. Formatted, installed ROM and SU, wiped dalvik and cache. Everything goes smoothly, but when I try to install the K.A.T. app, I get a "Can't open file" message. Same thing with any other apk. Of course I don't have a file manager installed, and it's the first thing I wanted. I tried to install it by browsing to my apk using the "hidden" file explorer (in Settings under Storage and USB), then I also tried to download the apks using the browser and opening from there, but I always get that same message. Of course I have the Unknown sources enabled under Security (it is enabled by default on this ROM apparently).
And now I don't have access to my Ubuntu box (F*** Coronavirus).
I don't mind having to download the apps and install them manually (as opposed to through Google), but if I cannot install anything, then there's not much I can do with the tablet :-/
Anyone has a clue what's going on? I'm sure I'm overlooking a small detail, but I'm just wondering what it is... Apparently I cannot open apk files with the buit-in file manager, but there's nothing else I can use to open files. And I can't install another file manager since I cannot install apk's...
@SnakyTheToops, you wrote

How do you manage to install apk's?
Any tip is welcome!
Cheers!
Hello,
I installed "simple file manager" with fdroid
Thanks. I tried to download fdroid, but same thing, couldn't install the apk. For anyone interested, I just used ADB to sideload the apks I wanted. Once I've installed a file manager, I can install apks from wherever.
Hey,
Does somebody has an idea to update webview ? Some webpages don't render well or don't even work ..
Thanks
I dusted off my tf101 last week and attempted to go through the steps to get TWRP and get the newest possible rom which seems to be katkiss 6.
Well I tried using adb commands through powershell on my pc and also tried installing the TWRP app so it would help install the custom recovery but i can't seem to get this to work. The threads I tried to follow on here for installing a recovery are all over the place and seem to gloss over step by step instructions so I am stuck. This is only my second device that I have ever attempted to install a custom rom onto. The first one was my 2012 nexus 7 which went smooth and easy without any problems so I was thinking the tf101 would be easy enough as well since I already cut my teeth on the nexus, lol. All I know right now that I can tell you is my tf101 is running android 4.0.3 from 2012 and I haven't ever tried anything with it until now except I did do a factory wipe/reset last week during the process of trying to figure things out. The TWRP app doesn't seem to work with the tf101 and it does say "device not rooted" at one point when backing out of a menu option. I read that the tf101 isn't required to be rooted and does not have a locked bootloader though. Is this correct? Should I be trying a different custom recovery?

Hey,
To install the custom recovery, you have to put your tablet into the APX mode.
For that, you have to connect your tablet in USB to your PC then, switch on the tablet while pressing on VOLUME +
The screen will remain black it's normal. Your PC will detect the tablet, You're now in APX mode.
Now you just have to use this tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012 and it will flash an old version of TWRP, just use that recovery to flash the latest version of TWRP and you're done !

Okay I installed the Easyflasher 0.8.3 a little while ago and then I believe I was able to get the tf101 into APX mode by holding the power and volume up buttons at the same time for about 5 seconds. My PC made the little connection noise for stuff plugged into a usb port so I assume that meant that APX mode was active. The screen was still off on the tf101. Then I opened Easyflasher and let it flash TWRP 2.2.1 and it said "finished, now boot into recovery!"
This didn't work. I restarted the tf101 and held down power and volume down until the prompt for pressing volume up to start up the custom recovery kernel. The android bot picture shows up and there is a loading bar underneath but then after a few seconds he is on his back with the red "!" triangle and the progress bar is gone. Tried this with both versions of the easyflasher modes for tf101 S/N that are below and above B70. Neither one worked. hmm
