First off, this is the wrong place for this post; should be in the Q&A.

Second, to answer your question, he needs to flash a fresh 1.26 sbf and then use the retain root process before updating to 1.57.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manu_rocks:
I apologize for the wrong placement.

Not being really familiar with Android, are there 'flashing' directions someplace? Where can I get hold of the 1.26 'sbf' & what is retain root process?:confused:

Does not update or flash

Hi,

I am not able to flash a fresh 1.26 on the phone. It says Failed.

I tried to go with the Gladroot tutorial but the 1.57 update fails as well.. while re-starting (during the update install) the phone gets stuck on the white triangle with yellow exclamation point (after about 25% of install).

Any ideas?

EDIT: I have the webtop hack in there.. is that the issue?

I have noticed that my phone (hardware version 2) has two bad light leaks. And the speaker hums while in call.

My question is, I bought it at bestbuy (no need for rebates) and have blacktie warranty on it. Which I paid for in advanced 2 years But should I take it to Verizon for replacement? I don't want a referb and heard from a friend they wouldn't be able to swap it out right there for a new one.

Any thoughts in this?
[Thunderbolt General] squeeze:
I would double check...

I had the Geek Squad Black Tie thing on my MacBook and I knew I would get better service at the Apple Store...

I contacted Geek Squad and asked them if Apple Store touched my machine or even replaced my machine if my extended warranty/accidental protection would still cover it. They said no - only Best Buy can touch it.

Suspicious. I went to the point of sale Best Buy store and they said the Geek Squad people have no idea what they are talking about. I got the guy in the Blue Shirt and the Geek Squad Black Shirt nerd and they both agreed that the Geek Squad online and phone support were incorrect. I would be covered regardless if Apple touched or replaced the machine. They said they wouldn't even know if Apple touched or replaced because they don't keep serial numbers. I kindly pointed out to both in-store employees that my warranty + receipt both had the Macbook serial number. Both looked at each other and asked, "...when did we start doing that?" I kindly went to my car and returned my Macbook and went to the Apple Store across the street and picked up a new one with Apple Care.

Lesson is check first. These warranties are tricky and each store seems to be inconsistent with coverage regardless of what happened or what is online or what is written on the contract.

I've bought thousands of dollars worth of warranties from Best Buy and have never been able to make a satisfying claim. Either way, I still buy from them and am still a Silver Rewards Member.

Research with the warranty provider before you act.

I recently purchased an Atrix 4g, for the most part I have adapted to the Android OS pretty well. Since I got my phone one problem has plagued me, I cannot view most websites in desktop format. Most of the time I am being forced to view websites in mobile format.

I have done plenty of research and have come to the conclusion that I need to change my user agent settings. Armed with that knowlegde I downloaded Dolphin HD and switched to desktop mode. Nothing has changed. I just want to see gizmodo.com with flash.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdesai:
AFAIK dolphin doesn't support flash

Use opera mobile 11 or the stock browser itself for flash support and at the bottom click full site to view it

And opera also allows changing user agents
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazebleam:
Gizmodo hasn't had a full site link in a very long time.

If I turn off the mobile view on opera it still redirects me to m.gizmodo.com

To test your solution I went to m.gizmodo.com on my desktop and I still don't see a full site link.

Were you referring to the Mobile view on off switch on opera?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maledyris:
Actually, stick with Dolphin HD. Setting your user agent works. But what you need to do is you have to clear all your browser data. Go into advanced settings in Dolphin and checkmark everything in the clear data section so you can start with a clean slate. The next time you go to Gizmodo, you'll be redirected to the desktop site instead of m.gizmodo.com. You're being directed to the mobile site despite your user agent because your browser has cached data.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tucxforever:
Skyfire browser. Short and sweet... set into desktop mode. Then your good to go!

Skyfire supports flash, bo problem, its small/quick like the builtin browser.

if you visited a site and were already set to android/mobile view, and are stuck in mobile view land... clear your Skyfire cache/history.

Poop

early android had about:debug options for the builtin browser for making firefox like under-the-hood changes to ones browser... but google put the kybosh (sp?) on that! Maybe we'll see it come back in future versions!?!? Anyway. Happy browsing!

Oh, and congratz on ditchn your apple-fanboy life-style! Maturing to manhood (aka AndFreakn) sure does feel nice! ;-)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazebleam:
Nope, that didn't work either. I even cleared out the history. How do you clear the cache? Also, is this an Atrix problem?

P.S. for how awesome android is supposed to be, it sure does suck at loading desktop friendly websites. I have this really old a ****ty phone called the iphone 3g that can do it. As of today I have downloaded; firefox, opera, dolphin HD, and skyfire. Im not a big fan right now.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazebleam:
That didn't work either, I switched to desktop and cleared all browser data. Its still m.gizmodo.com
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazebleam:
Btw, I found a solution on the iphone forum. They said to simply go to

ca.gizmodo.com. The only problem is that its not actually the current site, its the older one.

In conclusion, it is not possible to view gizmodo.com on an android phone. I notified Gawker of my troubles and they confirmed my suspicions. The new version of their website won't load. They said a solution would be coming in a few months. Thanks for the browser btw. Its like chrome and I prefer it over most.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FLAC Vest:
I'm highly upset about this. Although the mobile site is faster to load and saves bandwith (when running on data netowrks of course) I still love viewing the full site on my phone.

Since they did this I visit the site less and less; it's a shame :/
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KefkaticFanatic:
I honestly hate the redesign, and still use the uk.***.com or ca.***.com versions of the sites, which load the old design, and should still work on mobile devices. (Though unfortunately io9 does not have a uk or ca page for some odd reason) Also, have you tried the addon for Dolphin HD that has the 1 button desktop/mobile user agent switcher? It has worked for me quite well on Hulu.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevessvt:
I appreciate the work being done on o/c kernals, but coming from Droid X, there where some great o/c apps that where easy to use, and could change voltages on the fly, making it easy to get the most out of a stable o/c. Will there be such a thing for the TB?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmillanje:
Setcpu.

Coming from droid2 I know what you mean, but we didn't have a custom kernel so were had workarounds. Which is why you had to change once already booted. Not sure if this can be done on tb.

I assume its probably better to havea custom kernel than setting after boot.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevessvt:
I have setcpu, but that doesnt allow for overclocking, just clocking down from whatever the max of the kernal is. And AFAIK you cant change the voltage, but maybe Im mistaken about that.

I really like Quickclock advance, you could change voltage by % tailoring it to your exact cpu.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PerCompLLC:
Um, sure it does... Assuming that you have an overclocked kernel loaded (the stock kernel is not overclockable), setCPU can control the overclocking of said kernel.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crimton:
you need an overclocked kernel before you can use set cpu to overclock
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nic2112:
Set CPU allows you to overclock if your kernel supports it. When you open SetCPU and then select "Autodetect", what it does is check which speeds the kernel supports and lets you pick that from the list.

I can't talk for everyone but a LOT of people (including me) use SetCPU to overclock.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bp328i:
You said you came from the Droid X, the kernel was not able to be changed out because of the locked bootloader, if I'm correct. That's where Quickclock advance came in, it was made to overclock the stock kernel.

On the Thunderbolt you can change the kernel with an overclocked one and use SetCPU.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevessvt:
I realize setcpu can overclock up to the max allowed by the kernal, what Im saying is an app that allows to go beyond that, and manipulate the voltage. I am running at 1.2GHz right now, it runs up to 1.5 fine, except when I get a call it will reboot. If I had a little leeway on voltage, maybe I could get it stable at 1.5.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevessvt:
It would be easier to just o/c in app, then try this kernal, change, dont like, the try another kernal....

Hi all,

I just got done doing my first battery conditioning. Ran it down completely last night at 9:30PM. Charged it with the power off until 8AM this morning.

Since 8AM phone has gone down 11%.

I don't have many apps installed, 4G is off (no coverage in my place), and have hardly used the phone this morning (a little Google Reader and Gmail browsing).

Auto display brightness and power save on.

I'm running Midnight ROM 5.1 with journaling clocked at 200-1200 Mhz and conservative governor.

That out of the way, here's the real problem: Battery use shows 88% screen use! I've had the screen on for less than ten minutes, isn't this out of whack for having that much battery dead?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
The battery use section of the settings is messed up in our Froyo. Display always shows greater the 80%, but that's not really the truth.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
It's a relative statistic, the screen used 88% of the 11% drained. The screen was on so logically it would use power, the thing to worry about is when something like the gallery app is using 88% of the battery.

Hopefully Skype will do something with Qik to get around their exclusivity with Verizon.

Or even better, Google get off their asses and start using the video call framework that's been in the API since at least 2.1. They bought Gizmo5, who was doing SIP video calling using h.264 on my Nokia n810 back in '07. It was essentially what Apple's FaceTime is now.
