[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpomike13:
might have an answer...

Hi dude,

I just rooted using the same method, and the first time I got the same messege about new firmware, then on the second attempt, I discovered my mistake... you're supposed to have your phone un-plugged before clicking on the start button, then plug in. Hope it helps, I'm rooted now, Yah!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:
Yes you don't plug it in till you have the reflash open if you had it plugged in the hole time you will get errors good find I didn't think of that
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmitr:
Thanks guys...I have tried it that way and no change.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1107963:
it may sound stupid but have you tried rooting without the sd card on the phone...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappiez:
Well, just the sake of trying it, just uninstall any user app you installed. I was getting the problem, the unrevoked website mentioned the possibility of some apps interfering. I only had 3 installed, but it made a difference.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] refthemc:
-Make sure USB debugging is Checked on the phone

-Allow ADB and anything else to connect to internet when Unrevoked is running if you have a firewall installed

-I think HTC Sync should be UNINSTALLED but someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

-And for goodness sakes restart your computer atleast lol :) just kidding but seriously I hope this helps
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmitr:
Well I finally got the root to take! What finally did it was uninstalling some apps! Thanks again everyone for your help!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azag Thoth:
i know you have already got it working but i just wanted to add something because i did not see it suggested, by the way glad you got it figured out.

when i first did mine i was having exact same issues, and tried 3 different computers, all with win 7, i was using zonealarm extream security on them, which is a fire wall and virus software, i was dissabling it on all atempts but what i forgot was win7 automatically turns on windows firewall when you dissable a aftermarket one. well i finaly remembered that and turned it off and it work first try.

so just wanted to throw that in for anyone reading this, just one more thing to check if you are having issues.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoesntrix:
I had the issues with my phone (bought outright from Bell, unlocked for use with Rogers)

To connect to Wifi, try the following, and report back:

1) Disconnect the WiFi entirely (as in un-check the on button)

2) Turn WiFi back on

3) When your WiFi hotspot becomes available, instead of just tapping to connect, TAP AND HOLD the name of your hotspot, and a prompt will appear asking you to connect or forget the network.

4) Click "Forget network"

5) Toggle WiFi on and off one more time

6) Once your hotspot is found, TAP AND HOLD until a prompt comes up asking you to connect.

Press connect, and voila, your wifi should be working like a charm.

My situation:

1) Bell Atrix (Build OLYLA_U4_0.37.4, Android 2.2.1 obvs)

2) Linksys WRT150N Router 2.4GHz using WPA2 Personal passcode

3) Unlocked + working on Rogers with cell unlock code.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crnkoj:
interesting, i think i tried that with my att atrix (both stock and the leaked firmware) already, and it didnt produce any useful results. ill retry it later today, and post the new results.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoesntrix:
I wonder why it worked for me. It can't be an issue with sims blocking access personally I think it is the router frequency causing issues.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfksc:
I don't have any wifi issues with my unlocked Bell Atrix on Rogers. I'm using a different router though, and I also did a factory reset before power cycling and unlocking my Atrix. The Atrix also provisioned the APN settings when I unlocked the phone with my Rogers SIM in it.

It doesn't get any easier than that.

:D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crnkoj:
heh lucky you. well judging from the dmesg i did with wifi working and wifi not working, basically the only difference is

Link Down
Invalid ioctl data=-22
wl_iw_set_wap Invalid ioctl data=-22
Set ISCAN for wl_iw_iscan failed with -22

so im pretty sure there has to come some command from the sim/carrier that issues the -22 "command" , which than fails everything

oh and hoesntrix, i just remembered one more thing, namely:

after inserting the sim, the WiFi manager where i would have to do your steps, doesnt find any networks, or in fact it finds networks for like 1 second and than they disappear. and it cant be a router frequency issue if it works without sim after a factory restore...

im thinking some file gets changed in the /data directory/partition that gets restored with a factory wipe. since if you change things in the /system directory/partition they stay changed even after the factory restore.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gregz78:
my wifi was working until i restored parameters with Titanium backup from my Defy....

perhaps nothing to do with the other problem but who knows....
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoesntrix:
That would make sense. I really wish moto would not lock down the boot loader :( im just glad my wifi is working
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coleburns:
woah. This worked for me. Brilliant. Thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coleburns:

Is there any possible way to get the "sleep and awake" animation from cm7 gingerbread for the evo... without flashing cm7..im currently running kings unleashed ultra blakk r3...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Addictedtothegreenguy:
Dont think so thats a gingerbread thing
[EVO 4G Android Development] aimbdd:
Nope. it cant be "ported" to any rom but a gb one.

Why would you post this here?
[EVO 4G Android Development] VisedMonk:
1. Wrong forum.

2. There are plenty of gb aosp roms here. You should try one of those.
[EVO 4G Android Development] alaman68:
Evokings has a gb rom, best of everything you want
[EVO 4G Android Development] HiddenKnight:
Or you can look for "ultimate droid" i think the guy was banned from xda, and i cant mention forum site i believe, just google it. its updated to 2.3.3, and i believe has more controls then cm7

I flashed the JS8 single file with 512pit and repartition. (from samfirmwares)

This bricked my phone.

I flashed JS8 single file with 803pit and repartition.

Still bricked.

I flashed my phone with a different JS8 (3 files, PDA, MODEM and CSC, no bootloader) and 512pit and repartition.

My phone is fixed.

The single file JS8 w/ 512pit + repartition bricked it.

The multi file JS8 w/ 512pit + repartition fixed it.

Why?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadey3:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevalin:
Has anyone tried Cognition 4.2.2 with different kernals and modems yet? I'm currently running 4.1.1 with Speedmod's latest and KP1, and getting excellent battery life... though I notice the phone sometimes lags a bit.

I love the features and overall smoothness of Cognition, but I changed out the modem (to JK4, and then to KP1) and kernal on 4.1.1 because it was killing my battery, and it was a pretty laggy, too. I've been singularly unimpressed with KB1.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Try the Cognition sticky at the top of the forum, where this should have been posted.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevalin:
The moderator is quite free to move the thread if its placement is a problem... but I've noticed on far more than one occasion that questions specific to various ROMs, be they technical or concerned with more general matters, have been asked in the general Q and A section.

Which is why I asked here, and not in the Sticky, which doesn't always get perused by the larger population.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vunuts:
Using the KB1 modem with Overstock kernal. All features work, call quality and signal are amazing, bluetooth is clear, and I can get about 37 hours out of my battery from 100% charge with normal usage.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
The moderators created those stickies for exactly this purpose, which you defeat by thinking you deserve personalized attention in your own thread.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hotboyray:
Is it possible or app that does this?

I want an app or something that automatically switches the keyboard I'm using by if I'm using landscape or portrait mode. I want to use swype when my phone is upright and the gingerbread keyboard when I turn my phone .. i don't feel like changing the keyboard everytime. I know its lazy.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SouthPhilly:
Your I luck m8.... there is already one in the market. It's called "Keyboard Manager". You need root to use it and it's like a buck or two.

Works great.

[Epic 4G Themes] optmsprim2:
Finished this series of colors for this boot. Going to take a little break from this series to work on a different type of animation and look more into resolution vs. fps stuff. Enjoy!

New: I added a fuchsia shutdown animation by request. Not much of a helix on this one, more messing with what kind of fancy loopage I could get out of the streaks. Sorry it took so long! Life...perpetually in the way of things.

I was able to get a 47 MB series of files down to 12 MB at 90% resolution and still it was far too slow. The thing that perplexes me is that even 65% resolution is still far too slow and in fact is not much faster than 90% or 100%, but at 50% it basically goes at the intended speed. If there is anybody knowledgeable about crushing PNGs while not sacrificing too much resolution, or maybe has better insight into how the bootanimation.zip is actually read, please let me know.

EDITS:

4/5/11: Added Helix Fuchsia Shutdown

4/1/11: Added Helix Fuchsia Boot.

3/28/11: Added Helix Red Shutdown.

3/27/11: Added Helix Green Shutdown.

3/26/11: Added Helix Red Boot.

Added Helix Green Boot.

Updated Helix Green to slightly higher res (half res)

3/23/11: Added Helix shutdown animation.

About Flashing Shutdown Animations:

Shutdown animation exists as a sequence of PNG files in /system/media/video/shutdown so this zip will simply copy the image files there. HOWEVER, since this is not simply replacing one file like the boot animation, if you currently have a shutdown animation this zip you should delete the folder using your root accessible file manager of choice (unsolicited advertisement: Root Explorer does very well with read/write permissions and is totally worth the purchase) or adb the folder out of there. If you flash over an existing PNG sequence it may be prone to weird flashing and stuttering.

DISCLAIMER: ALWAYS have a backup of your system BEFORE you flash. I am not responsible for anything bad happening to your phone should you choose to flash these files.

These zips are flashable in CWM3.0+ (edify scripts). It wipes the cache so your first boot might be a bit long.

SWEET ! i gotta thank you tomorrow though 8(

Edit: Thanked You 8)
[Epic 4G Themes] jspsuperman:
will it work with cwm 2.5? its absolutely badass looking!
[Epic 4G Themes] optmsprim2:
I actually don't know if edify zips work in 2.5. I feel like I've heard of some version of CWM 2.5 that could flash them, but I've never actually tried as I went to 3.0 some time ago. However, if you like you can just pull the bootanimation.zip file out of Helix Boot.zip and either adb push it or use a root explorer to copy it to your appropriate system directory. Speaking of which (hijacking my own thread here), are all the Epic kernels out there now in agreement for using /system/media for custom boot animation? I should've said I've only tried it on Bonsai 3.0.1 as I haven't made the leap to 4.0.0 yet but I assume they haven't changed that.

[Epic 4G Themes] harlowlax:
so search is down now but I tried looking to see how to get boot animations to work. I have cwm3 and am runner the latest syndicateROM frozen. Do I just download this, attach to sd and then "flash" it in cwm? Or do I need to delete the other boot animation that came with the rom?

I just dont want to mess anything up
[Epic 4G Themes] jct522:
Just flash it through CW 3.0. It will just replace the current boot animation that is in Syndicate. You do not need to take anything out of your current ROM.
[Epic 4G Themes] harlowlax:
thanks jct!

so awesome! :) works on cwm 2.5 incase anyone was wondering!

2nd- @ whoever wanted the 2.5 cwm zip.. just convert it yourself. there is a a great forum here about converting cwm 2.x.x to 3.x.x and vice-versa. i've used it myself to create custom themes. its really easy. just need 7-zip and a few mins and you're all good to go! good luck

shut down and boot animations

hey guys, i stumbled across these cool animations from Android Forums... http://androidforums.com/fascinate-...change-bootup-shutdown-animations-sounds.html... Although some of the links to drop box seem to be dead others do work, but you can still find these dope animations, GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND. The particles2 boot animation i thought would be really cool as a shut down animation with the DROID.wav file i have so i just converted the boot animations to png's and they work pretty dam good on my Super Nova Epic4g running super nova rom(kudos to A454nova! luvin th rom dood!), i also uploaded a CRT tv shut down animation i found and the original Particle2 boot animation as well....not to sound redundant but to make these animations work you need to be rooted and have root explorer, File Expert, or another file explorer with root R&W privileges...where to place Shut down animations folder: /system/media/video<---(here)....where to place Boot Animations zip: /system/media<---(here). hope this helps any one like it did for me. BIg Thanks to Mazeraski and SAPS for the files and inspiration, enjoy!

I think it should be listed in /system/customize/CID/default.xml. If you look toward the bottom of that file, it should mention something that looks similar to this:

I love the blue Helix one. Any chance you can do the boot screens as well? Id like a matching on for my Incredible.
[Epic 4G Themes] qstarin:
This is odd ...

I had the original helix animation on my install of MidnightROM for a while, and recently I switched to RandomROM, so I came back here and saw the new animations (awesome btw!) and tried to install, but the boot animation is stuck on the original helix.

I've tried flashing the magenta and green, as well as deleting bootanimation.zip from /system/media. I tried copying the .zip manually there as well as into /data/local/.

But the thing that really throws me off is that I've odin'd back to stock a couple times, and flash this new ROM all since I've last installed the original helix boot animation, so where's it hiding?

It seems no matter what I try I still have the original Helix animation.. weird. Any ideas?

EDIT: I guess my phone is using sanim.zip in /system/media. Found it and saw it was the original helix images inside. Replaced it with the bootanimation.zip for the Green Helix, rebooted, and had it.

Again, super awesome animations OP!!

Hey John, I got the boot animation going but having trouble with the shutdown animation now.

I've copied the .png files to /system/media/video/shutdown and rebooted several times but no luck. The shutdown animation aint working.

The path video/shutdown never existed previously, I just added those folders and added the .png files to it. Would this be what is wrong? Should that path have already been there?

Running Hyperdroid 3.0 CM7

Cheers for the help

[Epic 4G Themes] JohnCorleone:
I want to say the shutdown ani has been an issue for some. I am not as familiar with CM7 as we don't have a fully functional version for the Epic. Does your ROM currently have an existing shutdown animation? If so, if you can post a screenshot of your system/media folder I am sure we can figure it out. I had the same issue happen to me so I used Root Explorer and copied the "video" folder from a theme that has it as a shutdown ani and pasted it in system/media and it worked. I can also post a link if necessary for the one I am using which is a TV off to Helix combo...really good actually
