In other words , it's working the same as before you started messing around with GPS configs ! Don't fret, your only suppose to have broken GPS in the first place !

Before that it worked fine. Not perfect but I could see 10 sats

Why were you playing with these if your GPS was ok?

i dont even get a blinking gps icon, only when i put a piece of wire on the gps pogo

You replace the modded files with the original backup files you made If you didnt do that - i guess factory reset.

You dont need a factory reset. If you know how to use adb just push the file located within the zip to you're tablet and reboot.

I was playing with that because everthing was ok on HC, after upgradeing to ICS ver. 11 It was a bit crappy but still could get fix. After .14 I saw only 2-3 sats with no fix at all. That's why I've started to play with it....

Or, don't even need to use cumbersome ADB, just download files to tablet, copy the files over and set permissions with something like Root Explorer.

It works !! Thanks !!

I know GPS works. But it works as 3.2 and .11 or worse as .14?
If it is working well again, can you please share the files make it is working?
I have the similar issue as you had, worked good on .11 and no GPS at all on .14.
Thanks.

I have the same problem...worked until i upgraded to .14. Now nothing...

It works not as good as it did on 3.2, but I could navigate on a motoroway. I hasn't tested it completly yet.

F**K! I deleted build.prop... and rebooted

Well, title says it all.. I was messing around with build.prop thought I had successfully pushed new build.prop to my prime and well yeah its not booting..
I am currently rooted
Is their anything I can do to get my prime back working?
I can access adb but if I try and get root with "su" I get "segmentation fault", all I need to do is rename "/system/build.prop2" to "/system/build.prop" but I can't get permissions!! GRR
I have also copied the build.prop file to the internal sd card and tried to copy it to system but still need to have root permissions!
Please, any ideas?

I can't get root in adb, to then mount the system writeable as I get a error "Segmentation fault", but I can access adb

what causes the seg fault? when you try and 'su'?
At the very worst, you should be able to put the official firmware on your SD card and then boot into stock recovery.. but if you can get into stock recovery, see if you can just do a wipe/restore.

This firmware couldn't brick my prime could it?
And no, I can't get into recovery, I get an android with a big red explanation mark
Why do people keep messing with build.prop? Most do it just to play some games. It always lead to issues such as this.
Good luck getting it up and running. Check out the system dump thread in developement and see if you can adb the file into your prime.
Try this
No adb required

Thats weird. Recovery was part of boot loader and build.prop part of rom. It shouldnt have affected recovery. Unless i guess you unlocked the bootloader too.

Oh that sucks :/ i feel for you man! Hope everything gets sorted out^^
We should make a big warning thread sticky or something with infos about what can happen when you mess around with build.prop. This is about the third brick i see happening because of editing the build.prop.

Don't know if anyone has posted this yet. I just checked for it a couple days ago and it is now supported on the Prime. Enjoy!
Is your prime unlocked and rooted?
Still not working for my rooted and unlocked prime. Just wondering.

I get the same thing on mine. Haven't figured out why this happens to some of us, and not others. Could it have to do with being boot loader unlocked? I don't really see how, but it's very annoying.

no I get the same error message with unlocked bootloader. One thing to try woulkd maybe be this: On aokp, if you use ota keeper to temp unroot, you are able to watch movies from google for an unknown reason. Maybe this works for hulu. I would try it but I am happily running virtous right now...

On .21 rooted only. I get device not supported. Even tried to temp unroot with OTA rootkeeper but no go.
Maybe try turning of "Force GPU rendering?"
Also have you tried completely uninstalling the apk through TB? I hear it's suppose to delete everything and not leave a trace of the app. Then reinstall. Maybe also make sure your Flash is up to date.

[app][modded] hbo go 1.4

I found in this thread a reference to HBO Go. I got to thinking.. What if the app were actually compatible..
So, after decompiling the APK.. Low and behold there was a routine called IsDeviceCompatible()..
There is one jnz based on p0 flag.. I bypassed this with a simple goto.. and surprise.. It's now compatible..
Keep in mind that you still have to have a valid account with a supported provider and I left the HDCP code untouched.
I've tested the apk on my TF201 (rooted and custom rom)and a friends TF101 (stock 4.0.3, bootloader still locked unrooted) and it worked on both..
Just thought I'd share the results..
EDIT: Doesn't appear to work with Motorola tablets (Xoom specifically) and without one to do testing on I can't see if it's just a library dependency or something simple.. Apologies.
Got a message saying "could not apply content. try again later." On xoom.

Apologies for that. I think it's something specific to the Xoom though. The workaround in the other thread said that 'That didn't work on the Xoom' either so I'm inclined to think that maybe the Xoom has different dependencies that are missing in the Xoom build.
I can't address that from the app though it does make me understand why they initially made tablets 'incompatible devices' so they wouldn't have to be hassled with which ones work and which ones didn't.

I suspect that there is but I'd have to investigate to see. Also there I'd be curious of enabling HDMI mirroring would somehow circumvent HDCP.. At this point I don't even know *IF* HDCP even exists in the app to be honest but I'd be hesitant to do anything that might be perceived as 'circumventing protection.'
This works great! Much better than the work around. Is the quality related to the app itself or the connection? Either way this is awesome

hbo go 1.5 is out, have you tried to mod it?

Can you root the S3 w/o a computer?

I recently bought an S3 on my vacation to another country and now I'm back in Sweden again, though very far from home (roughly 370 miles) and so I was wondering if it's possible to root the galaxy S3 without a computer nearby. I noticed Mobile Odin requires root to operate so it's out of the question.

The thing is, though, unless Samsung's security on the recovery is lax and you can infact do this, you can't just take a ZIP and sign it with any key; it has to be with one that Samsung approves of, and if Samsung are doing their job well then these keys aren't available for everybody and anybody to use.
If you want to try, http://androidsu.com/superuser/ has signed ZIPs that probably contain a random key (like one you'd get with zipsigner) or you could try the signed CWM recoveries for the GS2 (which, IMO, seems just as unlikely to work)
Looks like I'll wait until I'm home at my PC, which I should be this Friday.

[Q] Can't update to Jelly Bean :(

Okay so for starters, my device's launcher is unlocked. I knew what this meant when I bought it, but the update process seemed simple enough especially because asus had step-by-step guides and put the files out just a few days after the update launches (like they did for Jelly Bean just recently).
But unfortunately, I can't figure out how to get it to work :-/ I've downloaded the zip folder and put the contents into the internal storage, checked for updates, rebooted, nothing though. Additionally I put the files on an SD card and it didn't do anything either.
How can I update my tablet? Pleaseeee any help would be greatly appreciated!
edit: this is the US sku

I recommend watching some how to videos. The update process won't work the typical way as you need to boot into recovery to flash it. I recommend a couple things.
Read up/watch videos on how to flash CWM or TWRP
