OK well so far it booted (no loops) HOWEVER, after I "unlocked" the phone, I got two FCs, one on acore and one on phone, pressed wait on both. Initial lockscreen still said no service. I did a full wipe, so it should have taken me to setup, nothing yet.

SWEET, after waiting thru the FCs. It says sprint :) And I'm doing the setup. Still on military time, and still english UK for language.

WIFI WORKS!!!!!

i am up.. i am still no service.. but wifi works :tear:.. running smooth so far.. i didnt get sprint at all.. but i also didnt do a full wipe i litterally just flashed over top with no wipes (since it wipes some for me, plus you know me i like to see what happens).. and i am going to be honest with you, i am digging this.. one i love the testing phase, but this is nothing like the sense that came on this phone, or even some of the sense roms.. this is something special.. i am going to do a little poking around, and see what i see about what was changed.. i will have a mirror up soon..

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elude79:
Hi all,

Not sure if anyone having 4G problem again. But my phone only getting 1X just now.

I switched to 3G right now so I'm okay.

But just wonder.....
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revolt1:
no i have full bars 4g Pomona ca.

What's going on VZW ?
[Atrix 4G General] weaz_da_smel:
Given the Optimus 2x runs the same chip, similar hardware, is it possible to compare the two boot loaders together, and possibly replace the one on the Atrix with then one from the Optimus which is hackable????

Theory seems Okay, after all it is the chip.....

Cheers guys, not sure if i was allowed to post this in one of the actual development threads, and end up ruining all the developers convo's...
[Atrix 4G General] lyon21:
In theory, it sounds like a very good idea. I wonder if it would work.
[Atrix 4G General] drock212:
Simple answer. No. The issue isn't just the bootloader its also the cross checks from other areas that check for the moto signatures and if it doesn't find them it fails.
[Atrix 4G General] weaz_da_smel:
Hmmmmmmmmmm

So in-fact your saying there are signatures to secure the boot-loader as well, not just signatures to secure the kernel from being tampered??? :(
[Atrix 4G General] Ririal:
Sure, find a way to flash it. :)
[Atrix 4G General] chromedome00:
If it were that simple, then someone would just take existing code and write similar custom code to replace the bootloader.

But somewhere there is a cert stored in hardware to validate the signature on the bootloader. If the Bootloader fails the sig check then the phone doesn't start.
[Atrix 4G General] yungboss22:
The hardware is not similar. The optimus have 512mb of ram, Atrix have 1gb

The best possibility is to compare The xoom bootloader with tha atrix. Same hardware, same manufacturer, same partitions....
[Atrix 4G General] weaz_da_smel:
Ahhhhh truuuuue, now I understand, for so long i thought everyone was looking at secure keys for being able to keep the same bootloader and install custom roms.

Initially i thought you could completely flash the the boot block( with signatures and all) straight to the hardware ( after all the manufacturer did it)

......and of-course it is not easy lol
[Atrix 4G General] the2dcour:
Actually the Optimus haves 1gb of TRAM. So if you convert that you should wind up with 1.21 gigawatts.
[Atrix 4G General] Clienterror:
I really loled when I read that.
[Atrix 4G General] madnav:
troll :|

10char
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
so why doesnt anyone port the xoom loader if the things are so same? :P anyhow i can confirm that the lg optimus 2x and moto atrix share quite a lot (the ram is not of much importance sort of, mostly the webtop uses a lot of that ram), for one the broadcomm bcm4329 wifi/bluetooth dongle is the same in both, you can even exchange the drivers and they work.
[Atrix 4G General] weaz_da_smel:
My thoughts exactly..... but I guess everyone would still be stuck on the signature issue as some other members pointed out.......

Maybe I should look into comparing the files for curiosity anyways... no harm in looking. :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] IceBlade2005:
I know this has been covered loads, but im not exactly a computer genius but ive been at this for 4 hours now and its getting annoying...

ive installed the LEO70 rom on my HD2 installed chevron and Tom XAP installer and dev. tool kit etc following all the guides i could find...

Now when i go to unlock it in chevron it only gives the option to re-lock so i assume its already unlocked (ive tried re-locking it and un-locking again which failed so i re flashed...thank god for hspl and magloader....)

the problem is when i try to install any of the XAP stuff the tom XAP installer says:-

error connection: make sure phone is unlocked

and make sure usb is connected and zune is connected

yes yes and yes.....

im now super confused and wondering why i bothered lol,

im running XP by the way and havent been able to get an activation code yet....

Am i being stupid or have i done something obviously wrong??

again sorry for posting about a well covered subject but i still cannot find an answer to my problem

thanks for any help
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] IceBlade2005:
Just to add, now the thing keeps resetting itself hard reset style lost all my contacts etc time and date etc ,

Could it be a duff rom causing all this?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
well the resetting is a common SD issue, your card isnt compatible

as for XAPs, i dont use that, i use the appliaction deployer with the development tools, however i do know that if i try and do it without admin mode it will not work

course, your still using XP as well which complicates things a bit and again its not something i use any more so i cant be of any more help im affraid.

your SD issue tho is fixable, you could try formatting the card first in a digital camera or you will need to get a new card.

Go for a class 2 or 4 card, ignore any threads saying "this card works" yes it works for them but perhaps not for you, its very much down to luck
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] IceBlade2005:
Thanks for the advice bud, I've popped the sd card out and it seems to be more stable bow but my main problem is the unlocking, is there any alternative software to unlock? And what developer loading thing do you use if not Tom xap loader ( I'm having trouble finding alternatives to try

Thanks for the help
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
Did you get the windows phone developer tools installed?, i think your post said you did, in your start menu you will find a menu for Windows Phone developer Tools, in there you will see an application deployment program

I use that but i have to run it in Admin mode, once its started it allows you to install an XAP to a emulator or a device, select a device (make sure its connected to zune) and locate the XAP.

ive never used that tom installer thing so cant really help you much with that.

as for the SD thing, without an SD it will lag quite a bit, buy what you can afford and dont buy something you wouldnt mind turning in to a tiny wee paper weight, ie dont go folk out for 32GB card when it might not work, 8 seems to be a good size to price card, again stick to a class 2 or 4

oh i forgot to ask, did you use one of the pre-unlocked ROMs out there or did you use the original DFT one?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] IceBlade2005:
got the dev tools yes, didnt know where it went though or what it did lol....

i tried it withouth the SD and it still changed the time and stuff all by itself (assuming it crashed in my pocket)

the rom i used is called HD2O_1.04_DFT_LEO70_RELEASE, i dont know how to tell if they were pre unlocked etc (i did look but couldnt see anything) is there any rom you would recommend?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=944995

try that one, i dont normally suggest modded ROMs the DFT one is fine, but if someone is having issues with unlocking then they are much easier to get working
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] IceBlade2005:
right i got another ROM from the development section (ill try that one next if i have problems) loaded that up got it all working with the missus laptop (windows 7 instead of xp) got all my contacts on there and even got the activation code through microsoft support chat.... runs smooth etc now i just need a new sd card (its crashed once already and im running an old 2gb card)

the thing that does my head in with the crashing is that it sets the clock to 00:00 and the date to 1980!!! gotta get a new card soon as i use my phone as my alarm to get up for work... doh....

Thanks for the support though bud, much appreciated,

one last thing, when i get the new card i take it i cant just take one out and put the other in as if i boot without my sd card the phone has no settings or contacts etc..... do you have to copy the card info accross or something??
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
technically its possible to use a partitioning program to clone the old SD card to the new one, ive not tried it, i think for the sake of simplicity, i would just reinstall it, you will lose you programs and SMS messages, paid for programs are still paid for, but you will need to locate them of the marketplace again.

[Android Apps and Games] jlt220:
a quick question about the backups

do they also back up the kernal? or is it just rom data
[Android Apps and Games] meazz1:
It takes a snap shot of your current state, which includes kerne.

Very helpful video.
[Android Apps and Games] brokenbmx06:
What settings app is that?!
[Android Apps and Games] jonny68:
I knew how to do this but this is handy for newbies, i think you only need 1 back up at any given time on your SD card otherwise it'll take up so much space.
[Android Apps and Games] AmesCell:
I had the same question.
[Android Apps and Games] Osni~*:
Thanks for the video m8, it's very helpful for newbies like me!
[Android Apps and Games] zepoind:
Thanks! Very handy tutorial.
[Android Apps and Games] Soccer_Dad:
Um, I don't think so. It creates 5 image files of (what appear to be) your ROM directories - cache, data, dbdata, efs, and system. None of those directories has your kernel information.

To ensure a viable restore, you need to be able to convert to at least a compatible kernel, preferably the identical kernel, and a compatible modem.

But the good news is that it works and is easy. I do some backpacking, and I have a minimalist nandroid backup that gives me GPS, a book reader, a few games, and not much else. Before I set out, I backup my current setup, then restore the "GPS only" backup, which I have defaulted to flight mode. When I'm done with the trip, I simply restore the full backup. In this case, my current setup was froyo, with froyo GPS, but had I been current with gingerbread, I would have only had to flash a compatible kernel in advance of each change.

So I can have the best GPS for trips, but still have gingerbread when I'm in town.

[Xperia Arc General] jungoso:
I did have over 2000 tracks on my SE Arc, all showing the embedded cover-art, that is included in the mp3.

But all of a sudden, those cover-images are not visible any more. I'm using the standard media player of SE.

I saw in the forum that the same thing also happened with previous xepria-models, but i could not find a real solution: emptying the cache f.ex. etc. did not work.

So i might re-copy all of them: but the same thing may happen again ... :-(

Any idea what might have caused this, as there were visible for at least two/three weeks ?

Kind Regards,

Paul
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
Have the cover images been stripped from the files or is the media player simply not reading them?

Because the two are very different problems.

If it's the latter, then I'd personally say look for a different media player.

There are a number of them on the market that are superior to stock apps, such as WinAmp and and PowerAMP.
[Xperia Arc General] Reds4ever:
Well I ran into this same problem. It worked fine on my X10 using Sailing Media sync from my Mac (iTunes) to my X10. When I synced to the Arc about 20% of the album covers came across. I then deleted all the music and installed "iSyncr for Mac" (paid version but very cheap) on my Arc. I then synced the music and about 75% of the album art came across. App was way easier to use than Sailing Media sync (which was installed on my Mac)

I then installed "cover art downloader" (free app) . It found most of the rest with the general overall scan. Any remaining ones I could search for the album or artist and it would show a bunch of selections and I found them all.

Actually this worked pretty well overall.
[Xperia Arc General] jungoso:
Thanks.

The cover is still present in the mp3: SE did not remove it.

Using another program (Player Pro trial), it works perfectly.

Disappointed nevertheless: SE creates a multimedia telephone, but their app is not even able to show embedded mop3 covers. So i have to reorganize all, with other android app's. What is the added value of SE in all that ?!

I also deleted all music and recopied the mp3-files top the phone, but it still does not show any mp3 cover: so something must have changed, because it worked before...
[Xperia Arc General] loneLEE:
Well, methinks that it's the Android player issue actually. Sony Ericsson did not include their wonderful Mediascape this time =(

They only added an infinity button onto the Anndroid music player.

When I was owning Rachael, Mediascape was da bomb. Though not all my embedded album arts were shown, but at least it had a 80% rate of display, unlike the 20% rate now.

And worse, initially the player couldn't read my 2,000+ wma files, only displaying a few measley mp3 files (c'mon... I got myself a 32gb card cos I trust Sony to host a good media player, right?).

Did abit of googling, realized it's the android version that's affecting it.

Only solution was to installed PowerAmp, and it displayed 60% of my albumarts, and my wma files could be played. Though some were omitted from the listings under 'artists', 'albums' etc.

Seems after installing that, the droid player could read wma files as well (but albumart visibility is still 20% -_-)

I'm no IT expert, but my guess is a wma plugin was not included into the Arc?

I don't know what Sony Ericsson is doing, abandoning such a great software they created for Rachael, leaving this new, sexy model media-crippled.

Personally, I don't like to install another music player when I have 1 in my phone, for space reasons, but the droid music player is too disappointing.

If you do a google, the albumart issue exists in all droid phones.
[Xperia Arc General] kyods:
I remember having the same issue, it was caused by loss of the sdcard/Android/com.android.providers.media directory, which stores the cache of album art, and which I accidentally deleted. At least I think it was this directory, because I deleted the whole sdcard/Android directory.

Media player refused to re-create the cache, for some reason. I fixed the issue by renaming the folder with my music from 'Music' to 'music', after this media player rebuilt the cache.

Hope this helps.

I'd really rather post this question directly to the developer, but apparently I'm not allowed to post in dev forums yet, so....

Is it possible to change the format of a contact's birthday?

Right now it's displaying as: 1984-06-09 (British, I'm guessing?)

I'd like it to show in the American standard: 6-9-1984

This might sound like a stupid/noobie question, but is it possible to flash a Fascinate rom onto the Epic 4g without catastrophic nuclear disaster? I just thought, given that they are the same family of Galaxy S and are both CDMA, that it might be possible. Would the keyboard still work?

a good example of this is SE X10 bootloader is locked as hell with a 1024bit encryption key that checks the kernel for key too and what has been done is hijacking the charger(this is the script that is responsible for booting the phone into a charging mode instead of loading android) script and booting the recovery if a button is pressed
