Looks like LorDmod has kind of slowed down on this kernel and is putting a lot of time in to LorDmod HD. It's basically the same thing as v4.5.2 but with an updated kernel version.

Looks like v1.3 of LorDmod HD is for the CM nightlies only at this point so don't install it if you're running 7.0.2. You can run v1.2 however.
[HTC Inspire 4G] helushune:
Well, I just got done doing some tests on the Pinky Ultra Undervolt scripts and the results are pretty crazy. With my normal usage (which is fairly "light), I was able to get almost another 24 hours out of the battery over my initial run with the -25mV undervolt scripts.
[HTC Inspire 4G] drewdatrip:
Im gonna give the newest 2.0.1 and PUU tomorrow. Im currently on 1.3hd and -50 and im on schdual for about 20hoirs and change. Which is awesome in it of itself

If it's not too much trouble. Could any one of you fellas who are getting great battery life with Lordmod and setcpu take screenshots of your settings so I know how to set mine? Im reading but I don't understand what to set on the different screens of setcpu.
[HTC Inspire 4G] helushune:
I don't use SetCPU. Merely set the governor in Cyanogen performance settings to Smartass and it takes care of the rest. My clock settings are 122MHz min, 1075MHz.

I'd like to try LorDMod kernel since everybody seems to rave about it, but there are so many different versions & I'm confused as hell reading that that post. Clearly I'm a noob & I don't understand most of that technical stuff.

Would anybody mind dumbing it down for me or telling me which version I should go with?

LorDModHD Kernel

The above link will take you to the new LorDModHD Kernel page. I am using 4.5 BFQ with a -25mV U/V script and the phone is running great. The battery isn't much improved over stock CM7 kernel IMO but it's not really undervolted by much. I've tried the -50mV, UUV and PUV and they all freeze my phone so I have to stick with -25mV if I want to undervolt.

Taken from another site:

"The Budget Fair Queueing (BFQ) scheduler turns the CFQ Round-Robin scheduling policy of time slices into a fair queuing scheduling of sector budgets," he continued, "more precisely, each task is assigned a budget measured in number of sectors instead of amount of time, and budgets are scheduled using a slightly modified version of WF2Q+. The budget assigned to each task varies over time as a function of its behaviour. However, one can set the maximum value of the budget that BFQ can assign to any task." Fabio went on to explain:

"The time-based allocation of the disk service in CFQ, while having the desirable effect of implicitly charging each application for the seek time it incurs, suffers from unfairness problems also towards processes making the best possible use of the disk bandwidth. In fact, even if the same time slice is assigned to two processes, they may get a different throughput each, as a function of the positions on the disk of their requests. On the contrary, BFQ can provide strong guarantees on bandwidth distribution because the assigned budgets are measured in number of sectors. Moreover, due to its Round Robin policy, CFQ is characterized by an O(N) worst-case delay (jitter) in request completion time, where N is the number of tasks competing for the disk. On the contrary, given the accurate service distribution of the internal WF2Q+ scheduler, BFQ exhibits O(1) delay."
[HTC Inspire 4G] killersloth:
Beautiful, lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] daandman:
Lol, I didn't even understand a little bit of that. I get UV, but the schedulers are way over my head. Meh, I'll just give BFQ a try.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
lol BFQ is what I'm using and it's working out well for me thus far!

For those that have problem with both Wifi and 4G/2G at same time.

1. Root your phone ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1039985 )

2. Freeze or Uninstall My Account with Titianum Backup.

3. Uninstall Market updates and freeze the Market Updater 1.0

Now you have an old Market interface, but with a working Wifi.

_____________________________________________________

Update:

Factory Reset phone and do not skip Initial Setup. Take your time to sign in Google Account.

For those with no Data Plan. Try this. (Probably works vice versa) You cannot have My Account running or it will have both Wifi and 4G/2G icons.

1. Factory Reset

2. Skip initial setup

3. Turn on Airplane Mode (hold down Power button for 3 sec)

5. Turn on Wifi

6. Setup Google Account/Market

7. Shutdown phone/Reboot ( Don't know if you need this)

8. Turn off Airplane Mode

Solution #2 works for me as I don't have a data plan. I guess it could work for people with data plan, but you will need wifi. This works 100% so far.

Hey.. i just got this phone unlocked. via an unlock code on ebay. My wifi seemed to have no problem when i used my phone with out any sim and in airplane mode without any sim. Now i put in a AT&T sim and my wifi doesn't seem to be working.(ttorrent download resumed surprisingly but the web pages never load. Was able to browse through the market but cannot download any app as it gives an error. Is there a way to fix it with out rooting?.. i'll try factory reset and setup once to begin with as i think i skipped it. But if this doesn't work, is rooting + freezing apps the only option ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abctilly:
I got a G2 (HTC Vision) a few days ago, and it was already rooted. I have no clue about rom development, kernels, etc for the G2 and was wondering why it was running so slow. Also under set cpu, what speed should I clock it to?

It is running 2.3.3 with the kernel 2.6.32.28-cyanogenmod-g4f4ee2e shade@tocygene #1

the rom i believe is cm7-htc vision, build number GRI40
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lainvalenajr:
Well am not using CM7 not a big fan but the devs are awesome. Anyways on setcpu put max to 1.5 GHZ and Min to 1 GHZ. Am not really sure why your g2 is slow. Maybe you can reflash the rom or maybe you have to many wigets/Apps running.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dietotherhythm:
Having "too many apps" shouldn't affect your data speed nor should overclocking it do anything. Your data is WHAT it is, WHERE it is. For example, at home I get HSPDA (the H) and get a max of 1010 kb/s where as to the parking lot at my job, I can get an average of 1400kb/s. Which is a huge difference. Both are still fast (roughly 1mb/s to 1.4mb/s per second.. not to be confused with Mbits) It all depends on your location and the actual signal you get there. Just test it out a little around town or when you're out of town and you'll see. I suggest using speed test to get accurate results.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abctilly:
I certainly know that overclocking have nothing to do with it. But up until now, my area always give me a good 2.3mbps at most. I have gotten below 1mbps on my g2 so i raised the minimum cpu setting and got higher speeds. Thanks though.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sogarth:
Interestingly enough (I don't know the reasons), it looks like Motorola left a copy of Nvflash and Atrix-specific bootloader.bin for it on the Atrix. What's interesting about Nvflash is that it allows for targeted backup and restore of partitions (i.e. something along the lines of what Nandroid allows for, except at a lower level), which decreases recovery time when developers do something that ends up soft-bricking their phone. It should also break us free of our dependence on SBFs because we'll be able to create our own backups.

Anyways, the Nvflash on the phone is the Linux i386 binary. The bootloader.bin isn't platform specific, as it's meant for the target, rather than the host. THe archive is available in /usr/local/share/motorola/fireboxmake/OSH_tools.tgz.

Unfortunately, this is where we get stuck, because we don't currently know how to get a connection to the phone. And that's where all of you come in! Can you get further? I've gotten this far:

Nvflash started
rcm version 0X4
Command send failed (usb write failed)

I imagine that some of the functionality may end up requiring the --sbk flag (and we don't know the SBK right now), but I'm hoping that we can at least backup and restore /system, /data, and /osh.

Update: Information I've obtained indicates that this is the error you get when the SBK you pass in doesn't match the SBK on the system. :( So, no luck until we get that SBK.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] EricHegnes:
I would like to excuse myself for earlier. I am glad that you have turned this in to something positive.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sogarth:
It's related, but it's not quite the same thing. If nothing else, you have the binaries for this right now on your phone (dasmoover posted a link on the IRC channel 12 hours ago or so). I'm at this mostly for the backup/restore capabilities of Nvflash rather than bootloader hacking. Even if we only ever had that much, I'd be thrilled, because I hate having to re-SBF and set everything up again every time I soft brick my phone. ;)

Also: I've been planning on posting this for a few hours now, before that other post even went up. I'm... disappointed to see that other post, but these two things aren't after the same thing.

They've been using nvflash to flash their tablet.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
Perhaps someone can pull their SBK right out of the phone

sys/fuse/SecureBootKey

I doubt it is of any use because once pulled from the phone it appears as 0 bytes.

Looking at it from the phone shows nothing.

my guess is, as the path describes, a fuse, once lit, makes the file blank.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sifon187:
I navigated to nvflash with root explorer and executived the file. All get is executing file and nothing. I figured this would be.the case. Where would this need to run? A recovery state?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sogarth:
The recovery state would be similar to the RSD recovery state (set on boot by pressing Volume Down) except that there's a specific Nvflash one. But, that's the one I can't get to respond properly.

You need the nvflash driver. Without this, youll not able to communicate with the hardware.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JdeFalconr:
So correct me if I'm wrong, but this fancy cable is just a different pinout than the standard one, right? If so then why a whole new cable? Can't we just use an adapter on one end? I saw this cable that's being produced (a non-OEM job) is going to be $50 but I'd think an adapter (if possible) would be much cheaper.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
The first problem its that someone would listen to yungboss22

The second is not a driver issue. Especially if you are using the linux binaries. I followed some tweets back and forth about the cable TBH was going to sell. If memories serves it was also tweeted how to make it. The dev atrix comes with a different cable and needed no "drivers" which goes to the last problem

No SBK. A dev atrix is unlocked and needs no SBK. NVFlash can write. On retail atrix when NVFlash is envoked you should see an error as posted in op.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] P00r:
Actually AFAIK it is specific, as you can see this is extracted from an update for a viewsonic tablet

assert(package_extract_file("bootloader.bin", "/tmp/bootloader.bin"), write_bootloader_image("/tmp/bootloader.bin", "EBT"));

The second line was not included in older rom, but a newer bootloader apeared and it was writen in the device actually preventing an easy restore and breaking Clockwork recovery.

Also if you want to play with your unit I sugest a full partition backup with this set of command (same command under linux just make it a .sh script and edit a bit) keep in mind nvflash usually backup a part of the phone, it is not a full backup but a low level backup of the boot/hardware config

[Atrix 4G Android Development] zanzee:
Not sure if this has much to do with the SBK cable but I have noticed that the Atrix will power on and enter the bootloader using the stock charger without a battery and Tenfar’s CWM recovery installed(won’t happen with a 3rd party or pc usb). This might mean nothing or it might be possible to splice into the data lines on the charge cable. I know to enter SBK and to power up the phone without a battery you need a dev cable. So hopefully this leads somewhere.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cellzealot:
If a factory cable is required for NVflash then we may be able to help you folks. We are getting a very small number (25) made for us for a steep price but I will see if MotoCache1 will post the pin out map he made so you can make your own. His prototpe was pretty messy and its a pain in the ass to do all the fine soldering needed, so most people are willing to pay the price for a pre made cable that they can trust for flashing their expensive phone, especially attempting unknown procedures.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Bumble-Bee:
some devices seem to need bct + odmdate + configfile set while initialising nvflash ..... try a command like

nvflash --bct flash.bct --bl bootloader.bin --odmdata 0xADD_DDRESS_HERE --configfile flash.cfg --go

odmdata=0x300c8105

odmdata=0xBB0C8105

odmdata=0x800c8105

odmdata=0x800c0105

THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS SO DOING THIS MEANS U ACCEPT THIS RISK

there are also 2 bct files in there so all combinations should be tested

are all mentioned so try them all :)

Im a dev for the vega tegra 2 tablet so im sharing as much info as i have :) SBK being burned should not stop you from getting an 0x4 error :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] agrabren:
SBK being burned WILL result in a failure to connect. Burn the prod fuse and an sbk, and you'll find you can't connect at all. And when you fail the secure handshake, the device will fall off the USB buys and require a reset to try again.

Sogarth, are you willing to try this? If you do let us know the results.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Bumble-Bee:
Well even if u cant do anything in nvflash without the correct SBK u should still get a response from nvflash (iv seen a few examples of this)

Odm data part should not be used unless you know the correct string since it program some harware like lcd type, flash memory chips type and size, etc... it is not needed to use nvflash for dailly restore...

Can someone tell me what is the difference between this bootloader and the XOOM.... I know atrix is locked but is it the same "type of bootloader" does the fact that XOOM can be unlocked help to unlock the atrix?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
not really, since the Atrix is secured with a specific key and the fact that Moto has provided this (or an alternate method, idk what they did with the XOOM) really doesn't help us in this case, since what we need is device-specific (to all Atrixes, not each individual device)

at least, that's my understanding of it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fifo209:
Here is the issue:

The units tested so far had the sbk flag set to false. This means that the Tegra processor is NOT secure. With such a unit. You can do whatever you want with the unit via nVFlash. (Sbk burned: false)

Xoom units (all vintage of them) have sbk set to true. This effectively kills any potential write to the device via nVFlash unless you know the sbk (good luck with that).

So Fastboot won’t make a difference because fastboot is a secondary layer of code on top of nVidia. In other words fastboot cannot Re-partition pull partitions push partitions to/from the device the same way nVFlash does.

Now, if someone can figure out a way around sbk or a way to zero out the sbk, that will be where the money is !!

Not necessary. Likely they swap the hardbricked phones just to accelerate the whole process.

If you have JTAG interface, computer and required software (in-lab) you can unbrick any physically intact phone. IMHO... (I 'm not in electronics business last 7 years).
