So if i got my atrix (at&t) from launch day and i havnt updated at all... i should be able to update to the latest version and root with no problems or any data loss?
[Atrix 4G General] lost2030:
From what I know you have to update 1.57 first then 1.83
[Atrix 4G General] lonelyboi527:
oh okay. should i root at 1.57 then update to 1.83 then root again or just update to 1.57 then to 1.83 then root? sorry I'm new to android and rooting and just want to be sure to get root. don't want to skip something and not be able to root...
[Atrix 4G General] twinke2382:
so, I read through this whole thread and unless i missed it know one seems to have come across what happened with me. couldnt figure out(noob) how to update from OTA so flashed to update in rsd. after the reboot I had an error code of some sort, wish i could remember what it said. But about phone settings match up to screenies on here. all seems running well, anyone have a clue or if i should worry?
[Atrix 4G General] jigar_bm:
I have rooted Atrix. I tried to update from phone update and that doesn't work but after that I used Motorola link and get successfully upgrade. I dont have to unroot but I lost my root and webtop with HDMI Application but It was really easy to setup both. :)
[Atrix 4G General] edansbro:
For some reason the Motorola Update software doesn't see my Atrix as a supported device. Like, it detects it, but states it's not supported. WTF?
[Atrix 4G General] plutodc:
I am here in orlando in vacation I was getting 5.8 down in jacksonville and about 5.3 here and a constant 1.3-1.5 up and I am sill on vet .57
[Atrix 4G General] jank0023:
Go to one of my earlier posts...go to the motorola site and use their software updater...i had exact same problem.

If you don't want to go that route if you edited your build.prop put that back to stock and than do OTA.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Update all way to .83 before root. You lose root when you update from .57 to .83, so no point in rooting before. You don't need root to update.

Not sure if your a newbie (I still am on android) make sure you have your USB settings correct set to debugging mode.
[Atrix 4G General] edansbro:
Kind of a noob yeah, but, I have debugging enabled, and i have USB set to Motorola Phone Portal (not sure that matters) but when I go to register a device in the Updater, it still says it's not supported.

Edit: and the Update piece tells me there's no update available.
[Atrix 4G General] spacev:
Just updated using the moto updater and now my frozenfish is gone and afterupdate failed :(

I am pretty sure it was there before.

Now I have to use gingerbreak? Does it always format the internal SD as well?

That sucks.

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G General] UncleCemka:
Its not a biggie, just backup your internal and external sdcards and you will be fine. You can set your USB level to Mass Storage and you will get two extra drives in windows, when you hook up with USB. Back those two up to some folder on your desktop and you can always restore them the same way after gingerbreak. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1046626
[Atrix 4G General] amandagal:
I just got my Atrix today and it came with build number 4_1.8.3.
[Atrix 4G General] spacev:
Question about backing up the SD to Windows:

Doesn't that screw up your file permissions, going from linux to windows and back to linux?

Has anyone successfully kept their frozenfish? I am slapping myself for not making a copy on the external SD. I think that would have done the trick.

Do you guys think Gingerbreak will evolve to a non internal SD deleting version?
[Atrix 4G General] travelrobrob:
YMMV. But gingerbreak did not format my sd card.
[Atrix 4G General] edansbro:
If I flash the .83 SBF, will I lose everything (apps and such)? I've flashed .26 before and it leaves the phone in an out of the box state pretty much, does .83's do this as well?
[Atrix 4G General] spacev:
No, your phone will be like before the update (apps and such).

But I used the moto updater and not RSD Lite.
[Atrix 4G General] Deggy:
Just reporting in. Wifey's atrix still hasn't caught update yet. I've been spamming update for a little bit yesterday. About to do it through Motorola's website.
[Atrix 4G General] edansbro:
I can't get the auto updater to recognize my Atrix. It finds it but says it's not supported, and the updater detects it but states it doesn't need an update. Meanwhile I'm still on .57.
[Atrix 4G General] shirzadians:
Just updated Ota in Northern Virginia!

Thanks for the heads up sir.
[Atrix 4G General] shirzadians:
I had that issue last night. Unfortunately, you can't update through moto autoupdater unless ATT has made the update available in your area. The moto update page doesn't do a great job clarifying this.
[Atrix 4G General] edansbro:
By "available in my area", you mean in regards to the OTA correct? If that's the case, I have the OTA available as well, but, when I try going in that direction, on reboot I get the Android with the ! in a triangle screen.
[Atrix 4G General] MacAlert:
Have you modded the phone in any way?
[Atrix 4G General] G4 Man2:
ima noob

Okay i tried updating but i get the triange and the exclamation mark and im pretty sure whats keeping m from updating is my uninstalled apps so can anyone g me the apks for Vlingo, Help Center, Voice Commands and can you tell me how to reinstall it properly???!?!?! PLEASE i dont really wanna do a factory restore...
[Atrix 4G General] edansbro:
I had gone to Gingerblur a few months back, but then I flashed the 1.26 sbf, updated to 57 OTA, and that's where I sit.

I'm in Dallas TX why haven't I received this update?
[Atrix 4G General] G4 Man2:
Umm and how would i go about doing this???
[Atrix 4G General] bekarhoo:
Omaha a go

Got the update to 1.8.3. I was only rooted in 1.5.7. Of course promptly after the update lost the root :(.

But, learn't the lesson from last time, I saved my su from last time, in a safe place. The 1.8.3 update did not delete nor change the permission :). Did the update, and manually moved by "su" (of course after doing su and mounting r/w). Back in business..

Summary:

* I was only rooted with 1.5.7. OTA update to 1.8.3 worked fine.

* Lost root thought, but if you stash your su before the update than you can manually restore it. (I didn't want to try GingerBreak or other methods, as I have 32gb SD card and I don't have a spare one lying around :)).
[Vibrant General] engineer14:
Hi,

So i have been doing some searching online and in the forums, and there seems to be mixed responses on if the vibrant has a gyroscope.

Some people say the compass + accelerometer act as a gyroscope. Some say it has a gyroscope like the iphone4 and some say it doesnt at all.

I heard android just included a gyroscope call in their API for Gingerbread.

Can someone clarify if the Vibrant really does have a gyroscope or not.

Thanks
[Vibrant General] Jdom58:
I had a problem with it not to long ago and I was informed by T-Mobile that it was a gyroscope problem since it would only partially calibrate one axis. Nothing I tried was able to fix it since it was not a software problem it was a hardware problem. At the T-Mobile store I was able to have it replaced for free since I had the warranty ($5 p/month) and they concluded the gyroscope hardware related.

Hope this helps you
[Vibrant General] jamesd86:
Tmobile usually have no clue the features on the phone. Just sayin
[Vibrant General] rmeden:
A gyro involves spinning a mass around an axis. I'd be shocked if we had a gyroscope. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscope )

We have accelerometers.

Robert
[Vibrant General] etichola:
I heard that Vibrant also has a Gyroscope, but it's not used for now.
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
The classical type of gyroscope involves spinning a mass around an axis...Might want to read the rest of your wiki quote, as that's not the only type.

We have a MEMS type gyro, manufactured by STMicro...
[Vibrant General] rmeden:
I did read about MEMS, but since it keeps a "vibrating element", I didn't think Samsung would spend the battery to keep something vibrating. (granted, it probably is very small).
[Vibrant General] engineer14:
So I take it that means we do have a gyroscope comparable to the iphone. Can't wait for games coming out for gingerbread.

Thanks for the info.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeabsurd:
ok, so a month or two ago I rooted my Motorola Atrix so I could install Gingerblur which went well at first. It was working great for me and then I noticed that once and a while i would look at my hone and see an exclamation point and an android icon..I would have to pop the batter out and put it back in to restart...what I think happened is that my phone tried installing an automatic update which failed maybe due to my hacked phone not being compatible...bc after awhile I would notice my phone installing an update and then automatically rebooting to the error screen.

I tried installing GreyBlur the other day..and it didn't work well..so I flashed back to 1.5.6..but now I don't know how to upgrade to 1.8.3..when I scan for a system update it says that my phone is up to date..how can I update to the latest firmware and how come my phone isn't automatically installing it? Have I lost my opportunity to do this since to all the hacking I've done to my phone? or am I missing something? please help =(
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCooper2012:
Have you tried downloading it from the Motorola website? You should be able to just follow the directions on there to update it.

http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=9098bc50a569f210VgnVCM10000081bbb00aRCRD

I used the "second method" and just let the Moto installer do it's thing. It will take some time and look like it may be freezing occasionally, but just let it go. It should work.

Hope this helps.

-Doogs™
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeabsurd:
I'm updating right now through the second method. I'm surprised I didn't find that sooner..I should of just went to the website to begin with..but I searched google and couldn't find any information on how to download it without going through an automated update.

I was also wondering if I should do a factory reset after updating
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptf:
So I'm pretty happy with my NC with 1.1 rooted. It seems like there are still some issues with 1.2 rooted, particularly with the marketplace. I know 1.2 enables the B&N Marketplace, but I don't need that since I have the Android Market installed. Also, 1.2 has Flash, but I honestly don't use flash all that much. In that case, what other advantages does 1.2 offer? Is it faster/more stable? Is the interface better?

Also, has anyone gotten 1.2 to be able to detect ad-hoc wifi networks? For me, being able to use my mobile phone hotspot is a must-have.

Thanks
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Canadoc:
1.2 is faster thanks to the JIT compiler of Froyo

You get flash, which for me is one of the top reasons to go android over ipad!!!!

Adhoc works for me

Right now only thing not working well on nootered NC ids market is working funky
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rattor:
I'm in the same boat. I'm on 1.1 nootered, and I actually like it fine. I don't see the real need to update to 1.2. Flash would be a plus, but I just keep an image of Froyo on another uSD card for when I need flash. I like 2.1 because the battery life is awesome, and I remember that moving to Android 2.2 from 2.1 reduced my phone's battery life a bit. For a device that I'd like to have last as long as possible, any hit to battery life for minor upgrades is not acceptable.

Has anyone done testing to see if NC 1.2 reduced battery life any appreciable amount?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny15:
Other than Flash, the way it stands right now, I don't see a whole lot of reasons to go 1.2. If you're getting by without flash right now, you obviously must not need it all that bad, so if I were you I would not use that in my determination to move to 1.2.

I recently went to rooted 1.2 from rooted 1.01 and I'm not all that happy about it. My video playback has suffered...not only do the videos not work as well, I'd say the quality of those videos actually looks worse too. Not sure why/how, but it does. I enjoyed putting a movie on my Nook when I was traveling or just tinkering with it. As mentioned above, the Market is very funky right now....pretty annoying. Apps like Redbox aren't functioning properly for me either. On rooted 1.01, it picked up my location based on WiFi....for some reason, that's not working on rooted 1.2. I'm sure it'll all get ironed out, but as of right now, I wish I had stayed on where I was.

I would go to CM7 except for my kid loves the read to me books which I can't use on CM7.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teksu:
The best advantage of updating to 1.2 is the ability to post questions in the "questions and answers" thread instead of development area.

cm7 > stock
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rattor:
Unless, you know, you actually want to read books and such.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rattor:
Movie watching while traveling, along with reading Nook books, are the main uses my NC sees. I guess I'll stick to 1.1 since it seems 1.2 doesn't really add anything for me.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bekyndnunwind:
I read books just fine using CM7...

Look into dual booting, that might provide the best of both worlds :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dohturdima:
CM7 is slow as molasses re. Market downloads, force closes etc for me running on my current uSD card. I have a Transcend Class 6 on order so hopefully it will work better. Staying with stock 1.1 right now - have flash on my phone when I need it and the 1.2 Froyo Market issues haven't been ironed out yet.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djlim4:
If it's no better with your new card (hopefully it is), running cm7 off emmc is pretty dang fast in my opinion. My NC is about as fast as my stock Fascinate was before i OC'd that.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dohturdima:
Out of curiosity, which uSD card (brand, size, class) are you using to run CM7?

New uSD should arrive today, but I won't be able to test it until tomorrow night. Hopefully it's just the POS Partriot Class 10 (my @$$ :mad:) that's the culprit. Could be a bad flash too...

I have a Samsung Epic 4G and if NC with CM7 off uSD runs anywhere close to stock Sammy I would be ecstatic.

Hi

Can anyone please guide me. Im little confused here.

I have TP2 with Windows 6.1 with ROM version of 1.19.702.2 Date: 06/22/09

Now I want to update it to Windows 6.5 and latest ROM

Will directly installing from following link, will it install Windows 6.5 and update ROM to latest as well?

http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=250&cat=2&dl_id=913

Or should I have to first download and install from following link and then install above ROM too.

http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=250&cat=2&dl_id=702
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Those are the same thing, you can't install WM6.5 without flashing the whole ROM.

You want the first link you posted, if you want the latest update. The second link you posted is from 2009.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] craftsvision:
So from the ROM update from the 1st link it will also install Windows 6.5 on my mobile? or it will just update the ROM?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] -Jonny-:
Updating the ROM

is

flashing Windows Mobile to your phone. Windows is not installed like it is on your PC to a hard-drive. It is 'flashed' into the ROM of your phone (along with other useful Apps and drivers). Flashing a different ROM will give you a different version or flavour of WM. (TP2 can run WM6.1, WM6.5 or WM6.5.x).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jmpnjimbob:
Who is your carrier? I know that T-Mobile has an official Windows Mobile v6.5 ROM available for their T-Mobile branded phones. So you may want to check with your carrier to see if they have one for you.

I did try the official Windows Mobile v6.5 ROM from T-Mobile and it was OK. But I had already been trying out various WM 6.5.x ROMs off of XDA before I tried out their official ROM.

To try out a customized ROM from here you'll have to do a few things first. If you are using a GSM TP2 (ATT, T-Mobile, etc) I'd advise going to the Touch Pro 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development page and read through a few posts first, specifically the thread Flashing your first GSM Rhodium ROM (for Noobs).

If you are using a CDMA TP2 (Verizon, Sprint) I'd recommend going to the Touch Pro 2 CDMA page for threads about ROMs for the CDMA TP2 and then reading the thread RhodiumW Hard-SPL Release.

Then don't hesitate to ask questions. There are plenty of people here on these forums that are willing to help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] killerkhatiby009:
As stated before this is very dependent on the type of device which you own so be careful when doing so. If you have a GSM (Att/T-mobile) device look in the upgrades section for that if you have a CDMA device (Sprint/Verizon) look in the upgrades section there. Read how to unlock and then you can flash a 6.5 or even 6.5.x ROM which is the latest in windows mobile. Be aware that flashing a ROM will wipe all your data it is not a simple upgrade procedure, you will need to get all your contacts, settings, apps, etc back on your device on your own so make sure you backup everything beforehand.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BTech:
Hello

This is my first post so hope I am not out of line replying here.

I recently received my TP2 with Windows 6.1 with ROM version of 1.19.702.2 Date: 06/22/09. Also from Hong Kong.

I am thankful to find this thread and the great info here. But I have a similar situation with some additional questions.

Do I post the questions here?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] elegant047:
If you want a stock windows without void warranty, you can from official website HTC download actuall ROM. You must write there you P/N so they know if the upgrade is for your TP2. If not, change country at their site and try again till you find the right ROM.

Example: i could not download till i didnt change country to czech republic.

If you dont mind to void warranty, go to developing section :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CloudStrife86:
I may have encountered a hardware problem with my SGS2. Hopefully I'm wrong, and it can be corrected with software. Anyway, I have a 4GB MicroSD inserted into the phone, but it is not recognised at all.

Under "Settings > Storage" the SD card section says unavailable for both "Total space" and "Available space". The options for mounting and formatting the SD card are greyed out.

At first I thought the MicroSD might not be listed there, and instead was /sdcard/external_sd, but when I copied some files to that directory, they were not on the card when I checked on my old phone. I also copied a file from my PC to the card via my old phone, then searched, to no avail, to find it on the Galaxy S II.

Any thoughts are appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Format the card via PC card reader . I just shoved 16GB card in and it works .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CloudStrife86:
I have done that. It works in my Xperia X1i. Should I be using FAT32? That is what the card us formatted as, but maybe I should try ext4 or ntfs?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmo7:
Fat32 should be fine, check the card for errors on your pc? I've just put my 16gb in and it's working fine...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CloudStrife86:
Do you think it could be a fault with the phone? Maybe a damaged card reader? When the card is accessible, where in the file system is it found? /mnt? I know the internal storage is /mnt/sd card.

EDIT:

Never mind, I borrowed another MicroSD, which worked fine. The problem must be with the formatting of the card. Thanks for the help people.

And if it possible, integrate in the JID or JK1 the samsung social hub form JL2

Is it possible? Somebody want create this custom firmware?

thanks a lot
