If dropbox is installed, remove it. SD is fat32, and has room on it?

You could just make a virtual machine and run Ubuntu in it and run unrEVOked from there.

I haven't used unrevoked since WAY back... I rooted manually doing the adb shell script and battery pulling... heh those were a fun 4 hours. Had to do it twice cuz I forgot to put the files on my card the first time.
Tapatalk Pro Sig. Yep, boring.

You get this to work?
If so, what was not working right earlier?
Is PDA net on the device or pc?
Using the stock USB cable?
Tried a different fat32 sd card?

off topic PC help

Its a bit off topic but i wanted to see if any of you can help me out ive got an hp touchsmart 600 running windows 7my the problem im having is that it wont boot up any more and it gets stuck on the windows starting iam able to boot it under safe mode ive tried using the recovery discs and it also freezes any ideas? Thank you

Was any software or hardware added, changed or removed since the last time it did boot up normally ?

Forgot to mention i did get a maleware or spyware thru a website called "cloud av 2012" and inremoved it by booting it in to safe mode and runing malewarebites program

If you can boot into safe mode, it should be possible to perform a system restore to a point before you got infected.

Get a real windows disk and wipe it ..... You will lose everything but it will work ..... Its very hard to get rid of those infections...
It may be easier to install mint & not worry about those infections again ...means you will have to learn linux but much better than windows ... Or if you need its really easy to dual boot it now ... Install windows clean first and then mint or ubuntu ...

Download a live environment boot disk that will load an OS right off the cd and work from there. if it's boot issues, the windows 7 boot disk has a repair option that surprisingly fixes most boot issues without reinstallation. The live environment disk will let you view your hard drive, so if you're going for a full wipe, you can backup w.e files you want

Connecting kindle fire on Mac

Ok, so i got a friend who has CM9 installed on her kindle fire. She's trying to transfer files using a Mac but it doesn't recognize it. Any ideas? Does it have to do with Mac lacking mtp support?

Try to go into recovery (TWRP) and mount the usb storage there. This maybe a jellybean only bug. Since it is new and not very stable.

Well it maybe driver problems, or as I said try in twrp. But most likely something is wrong with drivers, or maybe usb mass storage is not turned on.

It might be a USB power problem, make sure you connect it to one of the main ports, and not via a hub.
Also, double-check she has mass storage turned on (this is important )
Try rebooting both the Mac and the Fire.
Which ROM exactly does she have on it? If it's an outdated one, I'd recommend using the very stable GedeROM or Team Kang ROM.
I have a Mac and I've successfully connected my Fire to my Mac on GedeROM, Team Kang ROM as well as the Jelly Bean ROM, so I'm not sure what they problem would be other than the ones I've mentioned here.

Look under Disk Utility and see if it shows up there...

Phone NOT BOOTING UP NEED HELP ASAP

So my friend brings me his gsm nexus and is not loading up stays stuck and loading Google screen but does nothing from there..... I asked him what he had done and he said he went into cwm since he was having problems with his phone and decide to format everything on it sdcard/system/ etc etc etc..... I never done something so stupid before lol So I really don't know how to help him...... any way to be able to flash a stock rom maybe via odin ? or stock anything to get the phone to boot up again ? any help is greatly appreciated....... I could boot it up in recovery mode but since sd card is empty I can't restore any roms or any backups since he seem to have deleted them all

well your friend formatted the /system directory so there is no rom on there. of course it wont boot up.
follow this to go back to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
DO NOT USE ODIN.
also, tell your friend to leave the phone stock until he knows what he is doing.

ya he used so many pronouns and friend references, sounds like a panic and just doesnt want bashed on the forum lol
yes as Z said that will fix the OP's phone
his 'friend' rooted his own phone and doesnt know how to fix it so he hands it to soemone else that doesnt know how to fix it? you should point your friend to XDA, its a great resource

I guess if you guys wanna say is me doesn't really bother me.... I use xda to flash and stay up to date with the community I am in no way a developer or claim to know what I am doing.... Just trying to help a friend out or like you guys say me.... Just trying to fix a phone I was the one that rooted the phone for him... Just don't see the big deal..... But hey if it makes you guys happy saying it was me that did it I don't mind no big deal just looking for help thats all.....

OP, you might want to uninstall the drivers you currently have for 'android 1.0' in device manager, reboot the computer and then try installing the new drivers.

Or use a tool kit to download a factory rom and flash it.
Edit: can't you mount the sdcard using cwm and copy a rom to the sdcard?

Phone Bricked. Please Help (Formatted /system)

I have the galaxy nexus INTERNATIONAL GSM version.
I formatted the phone and clicked on everything in the format option
format /sd-card
format /system
format /data
format /cache
now phone won't work only now.
wont go beyond "google" screen.
Was on android revolution hd 10 rom.
What to do?

It's not bricked. Try flashing the factory image or sideloading a ROM.
You still should be able to get to recovery or bootloader.

Just reflash a Rom for your device, the reason why its not booting is when formatted system it deletes the system apps which allows the phone to work, so the phones os incomplete.

Or you could boot into bootloader and select recovery. From there connect ur phone to ur pc and from the recovery, mount sd card or toggle USB storage which ever it is... enable it and ur sdcard would appear on ur pc, from there copy ur Rom after copying the Rom, unmount ur sdcard from the recovery. From there u can go on and flash your Rom.

Or just simply restore your backup (maybe you accidentally made one by "clicking" around in recovery)

download stock 4.2.2
reboot into fastboot
flash system.img,boot.img and recovery.img (in fastboot)
fastboot oem lock
sell on ebay
buy iphone

There are certain people who don't need to have "smartphones" For the jackasses who keep suggesting to use the f*cking toolkit it's probably what got him in trouble in the first place. stop being a lazy turd and research things for yourself once in awhile, it's not that hard.

I realize that it works and download mode is available.
What I'm saying is that Odin itself is a leaked tool from Samsung. There is no proper documentation for it and there is no official support from Samsung since we aren't even supposed to have Odin.
Fast boot methods are recommended and supported by Google. That is the official way to get out of a jam on a nexus device.
I can't believe that I even have to explain that.
