1. Start Zune

2. Turn off Data connection and Wifi on the Phone

3. Connect the Phone with the PC (USB)

4. Start the update search in Zune

5. About 3 seconds later, disconnect your PC from the internet (Turn WLAN off).

6. Zune finds NoDo-Update. Press OK.

7. Connect to the internet again and install the update.

Should work for all devices that can be updated by the VPN / dialup solution.

If it fails at point 5, try other timepoints for disconnecting, or try it again disconnected.

Need help/advice.

I flashed from stock rotos rom jme. I had problem with flashing. Things like windows not recognising tab in download mode. Several times failed flashing in midle of flash process. At the end I flashed succesfully. And things are working normaly. But when I switch off and then on. I get at&t logo and then black screen, i get sound from samsung logo but still black screen. Buttons on/off the backlight few times and still black screen. Then I press sleep then wake and i get straight the locking screen and all fine till next boot.

It looks like the boot part does not initialize the screen propely as its has a white line across when its black.

And in recovery i cant see what I am selecting.

Any ideas?

update:

sys73r pointed me to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=899196. I will test that after I solve my unstable USB connection. As flasshing boot with usb problem smells like brick factory.

OK first of all:

1 - I am a total noob

2 - Because of #1, I shouldnt have been doing this!

I unlocked my bootloader and was in the process of rooting my phone and when it booted up, I am stuck at the google screen with the unlocked lock at the bottom...any help here?

i CAN take out battery and load into the mode where I press volume up and power at the same time...if that helps.

:(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chuckenfoot:
When I do take out the battery, put it back in, then press the power and volume up buttons, then select recovery, I get a triangle with the "!" in it...dont know if that means anything to anyone or not.

I updated to 2.2 last weekend and I have been playing with it for a while but now I want to do a full Factory reset. So I go to Settings/Privacy and select factory reset and select ok. Then the phone reboots. Goes into a recovery mode. And it says in alternating red and yellow text.

Formatting FOTA

Formatting FOTA failed.

Formatting data

Data wipe failed.

Formatting cache

Failed

Formatting DBDATA

Failed.

Any ideas why this is happening. I don't have a computer and I just want to go back to stock. So if someone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Mesmerizeuser:
If you want to return to true stock (2.1), you will need to do an Odin flash using a computer. Performing a data wipe/factory reset will only remove any apps, syncs, and settings you have added, and will revert you to the default state of whatever rom you last flashed.

As for why your phone won't let you perform a factory reset, your guess is as good as mine. Perhaps you could try performing the wipe directly from recovery.

Also, if you have a nandroid backup of your former session, you should be able to revert to that by restoring the backup, but make sure to flash a compatible 2.1 kernel as well.

[Atrix 4G Accessories] F_L_Abs:
So I'm that type of person who has a case for every day of the week. Lol

I have here in order from left to right on the picture

Case logic pouch (For Android/Windows Phones is what it said on the packaging)

Otterbox Defender

Otterbox Commuter

Generic Black TPU Case from ebay

Generic blue hard snap on case.

The leather pouch is awesome! It fits the phone naked or with any of my cases with the exception of the otterbox defender. I had a Seidio spring loaded holster for use with the Captivate+Innocase and it had a very snug fit for the Atrix+any of the other cases aside from the Defender.

The defender is actually really nice on this phone! I had it on the Captivate and it was wayyy to bulky and it made it extremely frustrating whenever you tried to touch the capacitive buttons on the bottom. With the Atrix, it doesn't add too much bulk and I can feel safe whenever I have it on my phone. I usually use this one when I know I'm going somewhere where they'll be potential damage to my phone like the beach.

The commuter is my personal favorite case! It looks real nice with the fancy design on the back. It doesn't add too much bulk, but does add a good ammount of protection. I find it strange that all the Captivate otterbox cases make the phone twice as big, but that's not the same case for the Atrix. It's even stranger that a naked Atrix is bulkier than a naked Captivate.

The generic black TPU is also pretty nice. It doesn't add much bulk at all, but TPU usually offers good protection. Mine specifically has that stupid common Argyle pattern, but it's in the inside so it's not shown on the back of my phone! The only problem I have with this case is the fact that it attracts fingerprints like no tomorrow.

The generic blue snap on case was an impulse buy when I got my phone. I just wanted to make sure it was protected out of the box. I don't really like this case too much as I'm not a big fan of hard cases to begin with.

I'm still waiting on the Candyshell, and other cases to come out. I'll update asap!

If anyone has any detailed questions about any of the cases, let me know!!!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Purple Drama Llama:
I dont feel like a loner anymore lol! I've always been obsessed with cases. I have the OBD, OBC, Feather, Bodyglove and the Candyshell. Caint wait for Sedio to release a Active X or Rugged. I'm also hoping for some case-mates soon? Request? :D http://support.case-mate.com/index.php?pg=request
[Atrix 4G Accessories] F_L_Abs:
I'm waiting on the seidio active x with holster! I loved the seidio holster I had for my captivate! It works pretty well still with certain atrix cases, but I ended up giving it away. Lol

Not the biggest case mate fan but ill submit a request and well see ;Db
[Atrix 4G Accessories] bae0wolf:
You are not alone I couldn't decide btwn the defender or commuter so I got both to test out in person. I ended up liking.g the commuter mainly BC I had trouble plugging in some headphone jack devices because the defender is slightly bulkier
[Atrix 4G Accessories] kkeo:
I just ordered the black tpu with the argyle pattern on the inside off Amazon. I have a question for you, the buttons for volume look molded in, how hard is it to push the buttons with the case on?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] bigc_13:
How much bulk does the commuter add? I'm thinking of picking it up but I don't want it to be fat
[Atrix 4G Accessories] F_L_Abs:
I didn't find it harder to press at all with the tpu case. Then again that might just be me not paying full attention to it. I'm not very picky... lol

The commuter does add a bit of bulk, but I don't think its bad at all especially for the ammount of protection it adds. I do also really dig the design on the back! I heard that it won't fit with any docks though to give you an idea. I was able to dock my phone with the TPU case though.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Seadub2:
That was my biggest concern because I didnt really want a case but didn't want a broken phone. So I got the commuter and love that it doesn't make it that much bigger but makes it feel a ton safer.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Kaoe:
I just got the TPU case... dropped it from my lap getting out of the car in a parking garage.. unscathed. great case.. doesnt look as fancy as others but it does the job and its a pretty good price.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] erick161:
yeah, i bought a few of those snap on hard cases just for the sake of protection, however, they are a ***** to get off! And i use my vehicle dock often, so thats a no go. I bought a clear skin (like a zaag), and havent looked back since. It actually makes the back of the phone shinny and the CF weave pattern really POP...looks more like real CF
[Atrix 4G Accessories] dsa88:
After checked a cpl of cases for my new Atrix, I found one in HK and its dirt cheap too ($6!!). Dual material PC + TPU with transparent back, flame, scratch resistant, very light and thin, washable too. The fact I disliked about otterbox and similar heavy armed cases (aside of being very bulky) is a lack of heat dissipation.

My suggestion goes for Momax iCasePro:

http://www.momax.net/en/Product_Show.aspx?ID=1415&T=1

Top notch.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] drunkenmastera:
Do they have those leather cases but sideways????? I'm looking for one that will fit those tpu cases as well.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] F_L_Abs:
Yes they do! I bought it at a local supermarket kinda store, but I did see it at Wally World too.

[Atrix 4G Accessories] aly19:
Helpful post, I got the commuter, it's pretty good
[Atrix 4G Accessories] draculahowsby:
never really saw the need for a case it makes a good phone look ugly and doesnt really protect i prefer invisible shields
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Seadub2:
Until it slips out of your hands and hits the ground and ends up looking worse than with a case..... I like the look of the commuter otter box case
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Ryan@trix:
Question for anyone that does not mind answering. I currently have the otterbox defender which I have to say I enjoy having it while I am out running around etc. Like that feeling of safety with the "hefty" case since I have large hands does not bother me to much. BUT, I was thinking of getting another case to use just around the house and thinking about the feather case or something small and minimal. I tend to set my phone face down most of the time. Any suggestions? also to expound upon that if anyone else has tried or done this before if I did that i would look into getting a adhesive screen protector. If I did that would it work with the otterbox defender and its built in screen protector would I maybe have to cut that out? Which I am not totally opposed to just seems almost like a waste. I know gorilla glass is tough stuff I am just the meticulous kind of person that if i saw the scratch on my screen I would not be able to let it go and it would drive me crazy.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] F_L_Abs:
Ryan,

I would suggest either the otterbox commuter (still kinda bulky, but not as bad as the defender), or the body glove mirage (nice and thin).

As far as the screen protector, I've used the matte/anti glare from att with the defender. I do kinda notice its not as responsive when I'm typing and etc, but thar might just be a mental thing.

Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb and now Ice Cream. Hungry? Why wait? Well, it's because we have no choice. In my opinion the ONLY reason why we have to wait so long for the next best thing is because it takes the Google development team way too long time to come up with dessert names in alphabetical order. I know how it easy it would be to blame all of the delays on our carriers, but i'm here to tell you it's not their fault. I know at first this sounds a little silly, absurd even, but we can't forget that they're Google developers and not XDA. So let's help these incompetent monkeys out. Your mission if you choose to except is to come up with the rest of the OS's names so we can rule out any more delays on their end. And remember, this isn't "Mission difficult", it's, well... "Mission if you find some extra time on your hands and your not planning anything else for awhile and you've already made dinner and the put the kids to sleep and then you rememberd to think about it while you were eating your dessert so you try to come up with the remaining operating system names... in order" (kinda has a ring to it, don't cha think?)

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unseen wombat:
I hope someone can help me. My Epic 4g was on EC05, RFS, and I tried to install Bonsai 4.0.0 exactly as written in the installation instructions. Now my phone is trapped in a boot loop, and it's booting into CWM 2.5.1.0 for some reason. I could have sworn I installed CWM 3.0 something.

Anyway, I installed Bonsai, and it seemed to go just fine, but then it froze on the samsung screen. Nothing would work, so I pulled the battery to reboot. And then I was trapped in the boot loop.

I did do a CWM backup before I installed bonsai, but even after restoring, I still get the boot loop.

CW keeps saying something about the sd-ext.img not found, skipping restore of sd-ext.img. and it can't find cache/log or something

I tried to odin back to the EC05 I had before, but even though it says successful, I'm still stuck in the boot loop. It just will not boot back into the main OS.

Is there anything I can do, or is my phone just hosed?

Please someone help me.

Try to Odin to the EB13 version prerooted with CWM 3.0.0.6 found here:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sultan.of.swing:
Ihad this exact same issue. Had cwm 3.0 installed and somehow it got changed to 2.5. I had to odin back to stock.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
I think this is an EXT4 conversion issue. When it encounters an error it reverts to 2.5.x with RFS. So best thing is odin and reflash.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unseen wombat:
Thank you so much. That worked like a charm. I guess I just needed to do a full wipe instead of the no wipe version I had been using. I haven't tried bonsai again yet. I'm kinda scared. I guess though now that I have EXT4, I shouldn't have this problem anymore, right? Woulda been nice if they would've said that RFS will crash your phone on the bonsai install instructions.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
No problem. You should have no problems with Bonsai if you have the fresh odin'd eb13 and have the clockwork mod 3.0.0.6 set up. Then follow instructions to odin ec05 modem after Bonsai install.

To the user asking the question it is a brick :D

Until someone helps them get it working again. :cool:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbadboy2007:
The term brick means the phone can not enter download mode. Bonsai doesn't support rfs that's what your problem was. There is only one custom rom that is rfs and I won't mention it. Also make sure you go into cwm or you haven't converted to ext4 yet.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unseen wombat:
Yeah, I guess technically it wasn't a brick. I was flippin out though because I thought my phone was done for.

Anyway, I got brave and installed bonsai. It's working fine, but I'm not sure I like it. Like where did the clock on the statusbar go? Now I only have the date. And my accuweather clock is gone from the widgets. So is the task manager widget. :(

So if I wanted to go back to stock, I can just use kenny's first link to odin back? Or do I need to do something special now? Is there a way I can do it without wiping all my data again?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
There is a mod in the bonsaigeek.com website to put the clock back. There is also links there to point you to reinstalling stock apps and widgets. One of the places I remember that has the stock stuff is Frankenstein ROM thread in Development section. If u have trouble finding any of this I can post the links when I get home this evening.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Since you are rooted you can get titanium backup from the market and backup your apps and data. Then after you Odin back to stock you can download titanium again and restore it. Before you Odin back you might try a factory data reset after backing up and then check your bluetooth.

We have a new Xoom WiFi, and would love the thing except for one major problem. When we connect our main Exchange account, it spins forever but downloads nothing -- no emails, contacts or appointments.

If we add an account that's email only, the emails come down and everything works as expected for that account. If I move contacts into one of these secondary accounts, then they no longer work.

We have similar issues with Touchdown for Tablets, except there no mail appears in the inbox -- only subfolders. Plus only today appears in the Calendar. Appears to be a Touchdown bug -- bad one.

We really, really want to keep this tablet. But it's going back unless we can actually access and use our email, contacts and calendar.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougvan:
Your Exchange administrator might be enforcing security settings (Required PIN, remote wipe, etc). Generally you are supposed to get a warning from android stating it is being required and asking you if you want to enable it. Any chance you said no to this?

One of my friends had almost the same issue and for some reason his phone wasnt acknowledging the requirements. He had to set them manually and then he got his contacts and emails.

not sure it's your problem but it might help
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jldeitch:
That sounds more than reasonable. I did hit "OK" when asked to allow Exchange to set the security parameters on the phone, so I know it was being asked to adhere to some standard.
