I finally upgraded adb to show my device, but when i try using android commander it tells me the phone is offline. I think this "offline" mod is keeping me from install the hotspot mod. Just curious if anyone knew how to fix this "offline" issue.
You need to be using the latest adb to fix the "offline" issue. Type adb version to see what version you are using. I think the latest version is 1.0.31

I did use the latest and adb now shows the latest. But Android commander says it's still offline. I'm also having an issue install a simple mod and am wondering if this offline thing is causing issues.

I had that same issue when I first got adb going on this phone. I forget what I did to fix it though, I was drinking at the time. Be sure you have debugging turned on, and also be sure to watch your screen on the phone when you connect. There is a pop up asking something about rsa keys that you need to tap ok, and also check a box allowing it each time. Good luck.

Yeah I've done all that. I'm using this phone on page+ not sprint, so I'm wondering their isn't something not activated on the phone causing this.

No I think it's just the 4.2.2 locked up tight....I got the RSA key to come up once but I never got connected, going to setup ADB on another computer see if I can get that one right. I used it with my EVO before but the GS4 is killing me!!!!!
This has happened to me twice.
Once when I somehow didn't say it was ok to use the RSA key (I think i was drinking at the time), and once when I used some cheap USB cable that came with a cradle I had bought. I had heard people mention cables in the past, but never believed them until it happened to me.
Same cable works fine with my HTC... Samsungs USB can be funny at times...
I did install on my laptop and got the RSA key to come up but didn't help my problem. I can't get this hot spot mod to stick. I've used 4 different cables.

The only thing I have done to this phone is root.
My phone several times today has had it's screen blacked out and cannot be awoken or used because all buttons on the phone become unresponsive. However, I know the phone is still working because it still receives notifications and I can hear it.
I have to take out the battery to fix this. Has happened about 5 times today.
Anyone else with this issue?
That certainly isn't normal. I would return it.
Also noticed that when using adb that it kicks my phone out after a certain time... something like 1 minute. Does this happen to anyone else?
I often have to do adb kill-server in order to see my device again.
I too have the same problem (though less frequently).
I have a rooted Epic using Joey Krim's method (raidagainstthecage-arm5.bin). I attributed it to the Overclock Widget which I have uninstalled to see if it gets any better. I like that widget for throttling down the CPU while the screen is off.
I guess it is best to start collecting data on this.
Phone was purchased at BestBuy.
Hardware version: D700.0.5
Anyone else seeing similar behavior? How about on a non-rooted Epic?
I was running SetCPU but uninstall the application and it was still happening to me. I have a feeling it has to do with the root method. My girlfriend's phone doesn't have root and it hasn't happened to her at all.
@jspielberg did you root via the one click method or manually with adb?
I rooted via adb.
Other root required apps installed:
Titanium Backup
Wireless-Tether Experimental (adhoc mode only working currently on the Epic it looks like)
Overclock Widget (now removed)
I think that is it for SU needed apps.
jspielburg did you use OS X by any chance to do your root? Couldn't get this thing to connect on windows so used my mac to root.
This happened to me not 30 minutes ago. And I'm 100% sure its root.

I did indeed use my mac also for root via ADB...
I can't see how that would matter, but it is good data nonetheless.
Very odd. I have not had a single issue with a blackout, or unresponsive buttons after I rooted 11am yesturday. Then again, I removed most of the sprint bloatware, and removed more useless crap from startup. All the rooted app's are working as expected.

Yeah everything is working fine. But I went to pick up the phone to make a call and it was dead. Complete blackout screen, not lights. Nothing.
@Fixter that happened to me too.
Everyone having this problem please state how you rooted. I have a feeling the EPIC doesn't like being on ADB through OS X or 64-bit OS's apparently.
I rooted Tuesday morning using Windows 7 32 bit mode, ran cmd as Administrator and followed Joeykrim's manual instructions.
I have had no problems with the screen being able to be turned back on and I have been on my phone performing various tasks for hours at a time.

I rooted with One Click Root. Windows 7 32bit.
I rooted using quick root on Windows 7 then did a full reset after I started having problems and still am having problems with the screen not turning on unless I pull out the battery
Is there a way to undo the "one click root" I did from the instructions here on XDA yesterday?
I rooted last night via OSX 64bit and have not experienced this issue. But now i am very afraid...

Wow, after doing a full reset without root I am not seeing problems yet but this post makes me worried that it's not just related to root or unrelated to root at all.
I did a full reset through the menu on the phone, I haven't tried doing one through the holding volume down while booting method but I will after work
Hi Guys,
I have a question about the update to version 4.1.2.
When I go to Settings > About > System update, I see that the update to 4.1.2 is found but it says that it is waiting to download but it stays like that forever and nothing happens.
Has anyone else seen such behavior? Do you know why it is happening and if it is normal?
Thanks!
Maybe a stupid question but... are you connected to WiFi when you see the message?

Make sure you have a good WiFi connection. The WiFi in my dorm shows a good connection (String signal) but the internet can sometimes timeout easily. Make sure your connection to the internet is superb.

Yes, I know what the arrows mean but my question is why this is happening? Is there a way for me to force the download? Or maybe I just have to wait more (it's been like this since yesterday)?
Try powering off the Nexus and then starting it up again. If that doesn't work, try using the technique to trick it into updating mentioned in this thread (yes, it's for a different situation but still worth a shot)

Hey, thanks for the suggestions. I tried powering off and on and it didn't work.
Then I tried the method to force stop the Google Services Framework and when I went to the System updates screen, I had the option to check for updates. I checked and I am back to where I was before - the update shows but is only "waiting to download"

Well, I bought the N7 recently and I want to see how it feels without rooting and custom roms. But later on, I will most probably unlock it.
Hi everyone. I have the same problem with the download. Mine N7 is also stock. Tried the method with the framework multiple times, tried to restart, tried another internet, still no luck in downloading. Any further suggestions?

Same issue here! I see the update, but it's waiting to download forever. Could this be connected to the location? Same as the the other guy I'm located in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Anyway, I could not find a solution, so I rooted and installed CM10, so no issue for me anymore.

Hi all,
Feel like I'm missing something simple. I have installed Beanstalk 4.3.1001-20131010-xt907 on my Verizon RAZR m. Unlocked, rooted, no problems...
Everything works great except the portable hotspot shows error when I try to check the box to turn it on.
I tried looking for the entitlement check hack, but the settings.db file for Settings Storage in this Rom doesn't have things set up the same as stock and I can't find the entitlement check line to change.
I saw in the developers discussion that someone else had a similar issue, but couldn't find a solution. Is this a known big, our am I missing something simple.
Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Will this be a one time thing and it will continue to work after that, or will I have to go through the error thing every time I need the hotspot?

So i was trying to root my Nexus 7 for some of the many benefits that you get from rooting and half way through the process i messed up somewhere and now the device is completely bricked. I can't access bootloader or even start up the device at all. I have tried plugging it in to my PC and windows tells me that it isn't a Nexus 7 but instead it's called "QHSUSB_DLOAD" and i can't access it's internal storage at all.
I tried the many combinations of button holding and tried charging it, but still no response. I can't access it at all, it won't start, it's just gone. I can't use any of the features of my rooting toolkit either as it can't recognize the ABD. I was able to access bootloader for a while but when i decided to activate the Recovery mode, i saw the dead android and a warning sign above him.
So, Now it's just completely unresponsive and i can't plug it into a PC. I haven't even seen anything on the internet related to the QHUSB_DLOAD device that keeps appearing. I really need help with this. I can't even find anyone else with this problem, so i'm pretty worried... Also, I'm not used to installing and playing with mobile devices, so try to explain things in clear-ish english so i might actually understand some of the terms you use.
What method were you using to gain root? Was it a toolkit?

Sorry for the late reply. I was trying to find my account for a while as I didn't save my login anywhere. As for a toolkit, yes, I was using the Wugfresh toolkit. Luckily for me, the problem seeming was an overnight fix. After I woke up, I was making breakfast and the tablet just decided to turn on next to me. I didn't even press the power button, which is kinda weird. Either way, Problem solved.

Ok, so you know how you can set a phone name for how the PC sees it, or bluetooth etc? Mine WAS LG v20...now it keeps resetting itself to the letter S. No idea why. I keep setting it back to LG V20, and it keeps going back to S. wtf is S!?!?
nobody ever got this?
Sent from my LG-US996 using Tapatalk
...seriously, I'm the only one? it keeps doing it and idk what's changing it. it just renamed itself to S again.
Sent from my LG-US996 using Tapatalk
S as the name or s as the drive?
Your computer is going to recognize the phone as a drive letter. A, K, S, Z, etc.... That part you can not change from being a single letter and into some long version name.
You can how ever give the S drive (aka....your V20) a description name.
Without having your computer in front of me. It almost sounds like your computer is displaying the drive letter and not the description name.
You'll have to right click on the phone under my computer. And then check out under preferences or settings I believe and see what your phone is actually set up as for your computer to recognize it.
s as in name.
Sent from my LG-US996 using Tapatalk
Should have asked before.
Is the S only on the computer, or does it change the name under the phones settings> about phone?

S is storage. When you plug the device in, the device will ask if you want charging, file transfer, photo transfer, or the option to record sound from PC.
If you don't get any options, you must have made a default option.

wait, you're saying depending on what you choose as default, it changes the actual phone name to that? why? that makes absolutely no sense and no other phone has done this. in settings, about phone, phone name is actually just S.
