[Q] Remote Control Not working after Rooting for ICS Upgrade

Hi everybody.
Many years since I have been on XDA Developers. I recently got given a Sony Tablet S and, in my search for info, ended up here. Great tosee the forum is still great and very useful.
I am from the UK and rooted my tablet yesterday (using methods and SW found here) in order to upgrade to ICS. All went smoothly but I have noticed that I am unable to use the infra red functions on my Toshiba TV and Sky Satellite box after rooting and upgrading. They worked fine before.
Would this be anything to do with changing region?
My world will not end as a result of no longer being able to control my TV and satellite with my tablet. Just curious as to why.
Anyone with explanations or a possible fix, I would appreciate some advice.
Also - and this may just be me - I noticed that if you plug a USB device in or insert the SD card, it creates a folder in the Storage directory which is empty but cannot be deleted. So I currently have sdcard, sdcard1 and sdcard2 and usbdisk1 - usbdisk8. Is there any way to remove these as when I try to delete using File Manager HD, it says no.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I cant give u answer on all but it have two things
First : i hope u did not do a gegion chance while running ics i hope. Strangely enough i thought device should brick but idunno if its supported already
Second : there should be an option to accept root browsing and changing try "Root Explorer" the blue app you can change things if you want. Dont know how much you can adjust change delete etc. Didnt tryed all ofcourse and i think your regular internal sd can not be changed. Permissions for example.

I'm changing my device region all the time, now I've got sony tablet P region lol
About thread/problem name 'Remote Control Not working after Rooting for ICS Upgrade' - what root has to do with remote control?
If you don't want to have it, then you can reflash your device with stock ICS zip without any mod, root etc. Remember that its 'one-way-ticket'.
Maybe tomorrow I will check xda forum, and will find a thread about 'I used AiO tool, my leg does not bend to the end'.
OK so, the point is that most probably its an ICS issue.
I've got not-US region device, got ICS on it,
and remote control works just fine!
Start with wiping device, then check, then if its not good for you,
then you can still downgrade your device, back to 3.2.1.
(more info about downgrade in AiO thread - FAQ section).

HAHAHAHA lol xD
Thanks for the advice people.
Condi, thanks for taking the time to read and advise - It was your tool I used to root my tablet in the first place so that I could upgrade to ICS.
I think the point of my post may have got lost in translation a little. All I was saying was that before rooting and upgrading, I/R remote was working on my TV and Satellite receiver and after rooting and upgrading, it no longer does.
I just wondered whether the connection was known or obvious. I presume once Sony officially launch ICS in the UK, we will know!
Thx again

[Q] HDC Galaxy Note Plus MTK6575 Android 4.0 Firmwares, Custom Roms !

Hello,
I am having some issues with me new HDC Galaxy Note Plus MTK6575 Android 4.0.3.
1. The Google Location service is not functioning. Although I have the option enabled, none of the Apps recognize that the option is enable (location.jpg).
Therefore, I can never know where am I in the map or for example, use the Latitude from Google, Check/in from Google, location of Facebook, near bus station with transport apps!
2. The ROM version has a bug, which forbids to move apps to the external SD card (Storage.jpg). Right now I have the USB storage full and the micro-SD card useless!
3. The functionality of power ON and OFF doesn’t work! It does go to power off, but never come back to life (WakeUp.jpg)!
4. It was not “Rooted Free”.
-----------------------------------------
For prob. 4, I already found solution.
http://colonelzap.blogspot.de/2012/05/hdc-galaxy-note-plus-haipai-noble-i9220.html
Did function with me. Check attachment

First of all do you have the right drives so Windows 7 recognize as Haipai I9220 MTK6575. In my computer the mobile is recognized but in the Device Manager appear HTC .......and when I do the operation of plugging the mobile without battery the computer cannot stabilized the connection.

[Q]How to enable USB Storage on JellyBAM 3.0.0

I'am using JellyBam for quiet a while, and cant use the USB storage option other way then through the recovery.
At first I thought its a bug, but i'ts now the 3.0.0 STABLE version, and still when I plug the phone to my PC, the USB Storage option doesn't pop up.
Am I doing it wrong or something, or is it really impossible to mount USB storage through this rom?
What u already tried?
Did u activate "USB debugging" in settings>dev?
Did u flash another kernel?
What the main thread of JellyBam says, did u already ask there?
CHEERS

Hi Vad88,
As Hannibal226 said, you should be posting this in the main Jelly Bam thread here.
Here, many doubts will be posted mainly on the technical issues not on specific to some Custom ROMs.
BTW, here is the solution for your question.
Goto--> Settings--->Storage-->Menu(press this on your phone),
then a popup shows up saying, "USB computer Connection", select that, in that link, you'll get some options.
There you need to tick on "Mass Storage".
That's it, you are done. now whenever you connect your mobile to computer, a notification shows up, USB storage as we used to see in Stock ROM. From there you can drive yourself for connecting the mobile to system & explore the phone storage contents.
Regards,
Hereticnine.
hereticnine I LOVE YOU
really I will have your children
I cant ask in the main JellyBam tread because its in the development forum which I cant write in, because I have less then 10 posts, I searched there and couldn't find anything.
Thanks hereticnine, I followed your instructions and it works!
Appreciate the responses! :good:

JellyBAM has so many options combined, a quick thing like this can quickly become quite the scavenger hunt.
Even though this post is old, google still uses it to help people like me.

Which HBOOT version are you on? I suppose ICS. Is that correct? If yes, follow instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40241468&postcount=214. Those worked for me. Make sure the hTC drivers are latest with MTP driver installed and you have full root using flar2's method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2136815.
One more thing, Step 5 in ckpv5's guide is very important. This will not work if you are running Multi Mount app from App Drawer. You have to add Multi Mount Widget on desktop and click that widget to mount your SD card.

Hes pointing out that this forum has rules, you have agreed to obey them, and you right now broke first of them (and its first, because it makes sense, not because its bull****), youre most likely here just to solve this problem and not participate any further, so you dont care if you and others like you flood forum with ten topics regarding EXACTLY same problem. So use that search button, its easy. Or read some general android changelogs before complaining about USB MASS STORAGE missing (why these 3 words in capitals, its not acronym, only USB is...)
+ at least try to type name of thread in english
Multi mount working for me on Jb on ICS-HBOOT
as I followed the steps for flashing the Rom and sd card workaround exactly how ckpv5 guided
multi mount app from market works.. i tried it and worked...when you install it you have to add a widget on the screen from this app and i think on one point you have to reboot..
just try it with patience dont install it and not try everything if you have no success just tell me i ll write a full guide here so everyone will be happy..

It's not working for me. Widget is telling to connect USB / touch to close but when connecting to PC Windows is connecting via MTP - but no change of Multi Mount widget. 'MTP fix' option is checked.
Your support (or the announced guide) would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
today i ll have my pc...till night.. so i ll write a step by step guide to get usb storage mounted
sorry for taking me too much to right this but i hope it will help you!
