No, he is making huge assumptions without anything to back it up. I HIGHLY doubt this will lock down your device.
[Xoom General] nemith:
I'll load it tonight, really REALLY REALLY highly doubt this has any adverse affects and is probably just a bug fix anyway.

Seriously you guys are sometimes way to paranoid.

Got a link to the OTA?
[Xoom General] bigrushdog:
Just open up zip and look at that bootloader.bin staring at you. I'm not being alarmist. Well, actually, yes I am. So I'll have the link in a quick second here. Please flash and get back to me.

UPDATE DOWNLOAD VERIZON 3G ONLY!!!!!!!!!1

[Xoom General] publicanimal:
Any chance this will work with the WiFi Xoom?
[Xoom General] bigrushdog:
I hope I'm wrong and everything is just fine. However, as a developer, I have an ethical obligation to protect users. Period. If I see something that don't look right, you're damn right I'm gonna be paranoid. What would you guys be saying if it does lock down the system? "Oh, how did BRD miss that!?" You don't know if Motorola changed their mind about OEM unlock. But please flash and let us know.
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
How would we go about flashing this. I'm backing up my xoom now and am willing to try if I knew how to install it.
[Xoom General] nemith:
I understand trying to educate and warn users, but this is neither. This is just FUD spreading.

A more appropriate post would be "Warning: there is an updated bootloader binary in the motorola update. It is probably nothing, but you may want to hold of on updating until we find out more"

As a developer you shouldn't be participating in just FUD spreading (and generation) and get to the bottom of it. Claiming otherwise just makes that large "Donate link" at the bottom of your posts even more ironic and annoying.
[Xoom General] bigrushdog:
rename to update.zip

place in root of actual sdcard

go into clockwork recovery

select update.zip from main menu

Mine fails on the verifying Broadcom WiFi driver, might be because I'm running Tiamat 1.4.1.
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
ohhh yeah ... stupid question time --> how do we go back to original kernel? in case we need to...

I won't ask if this works for WIFI-only since you clearly stated in big bold letters it's for VERIZON 3G only !
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Someone in Xoom General reported that the option to unlock is still there. Can anyone else confirm this?
[Xoom General] el_bori1:
Any way we can install the update manually? Stock Xoom
[Xoom General] publicanimal:
If this was a dig at my expense, please note that I asked if it worked for WiFi before he edited his post to say 3G only.

QUESTION:

What would happen to my WiFi Xoom if I flashed the Android 3.1 images from the Android SDK (Platform 11)?
[Xoom General] whitedragon33:
You can use Kernel Manager from the Market.
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
no no - I just noticed in the thread @ Development section that he put in huge letters "VERIZON 3G ONLY" and the next few people replying asked "will this work on wifi" lol

Don't take chances, I'd wait for a "Xoom Wifi" update
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
ummm yeah there's 4 kernels for the XOOM in there, all are custom. I don't see the original one!

and plus every kernel I've flashed using Kernel Manager has disabled my WIFI. I've done them all manually (pushing 5 files isn't all that hard)

Anyone got the original 4 or 5 files for the Xoom 3.0.1 kernel? I think it's like boot.img, bcm###.ko, cifs.ko, scsi_something and void_something

[Xoom General] nemith:
Yes but his point is EXTREMELY valid.
[Xoom General] nemith:
It wasn't a a heads up. It was an all out panicked warning based with assumptions without any proof. A friendly reminder is "Hey you may want to hold off a bit while we make sure the bootloader doesn't have any side affects"

Instead we are greeting with a thread with that down right almost accused motrola of locking the device! But i guess this is how you get people to read a pretty pedestrian thread and I am sure the XDA crowd eats this crap up.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
So, back on topic now...

Is this thing safe to flash, or what? Can we confirm that the bootloader is still unlockable?
[Xoom General] Berzerker7:
No matter how valid his point is, there exists no grounds for him to act as dickish as he did there. Completely uncalled for.
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
Latest error while trying to flash this. I flashed back to stock kernel with stock Broadcom driver, which fixed the Broadcom error.
[Xoom General] Prod1702:
Thanks for the info BRD igrone the jackasses that say stuff about you keep up the great job will look forward to more from u.
[Xoom General] bedwa:
looking forward to seeing the zip if only to look into how Google Movies works on 3.1. I'm sure that the answer is in the OTA files. :)

Speaking of (Sorry for Off topic), is there anyone with a zip of the OTA that they could PM me with it?

Edit: NM, full of Derpness today... should have looked through all 5 pages before opening my mouth... :P
[Xoom General] ClydeB1:
BRD posted a link a few pages back before all of the handbags came out.
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
I tried to install but I got a failure on framework-res
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
Yeah this isn't going to let us install if there are any modded system files like the Broadcom driver or the framework-res.apk...
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
So, I need to restore the stock system apps and framework (in other words, de-theme my XOOM) in order for it to work? *Sigh* was afraid of that.

Of course, I still don't know if I should even flash the update yet. BRD, what of the bootloader?
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
Here were the instructions for installing the last update we had. I haven't tried it yet.
[Xoom General] bedwa:
The only other option is to retheme the framework and deodex the apks.
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
Doesn't work if you have ClockworkMod Recovery installed...
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
Yah I know, some people are not on clockwork so thought I would add it in for those people to try.

[Xoom General] willverduzco:
W. T. F.

Wtf was this thread I just had the "pleasure" of reading through? Although way too alarmist, and not exactly in the right section, BRD was just trying to give everyone a heads up regarding a potential risk in flashing the latest OTA.

Thread closed and trolling removed because no one has anything constructive to add. Additionally, until people know what is actually changed in the bootlosder, this is just speculation.

BRD let me know when you have a flash able zip and I will reopen it for you or you can make a new thread and I'll delete this one.

For those w/ the docking station... How long does it take to fully charge the dock (just the dock) during the 1st full charge?

I'm charging my TF and dock together, both for the 1st full charge. Green light is on indicating that the TF is now charged, but I have no idea how much longer it'll take for the dock to be fully charged.

It seems there is no way to know when the dock is fully charged? But I would assume that it takes a good 8hrs or so, if it has the same battery as the TF and it's empty. Anybody know how much juice the dock has from the factory when you 1st unbox it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Paul:
Just charge it overnight mate
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrayAdjacent:
Something like this.

I would state that since the dock has active electronics in it, and was boxed up at xx% state of charge, no one can tell you exactly how long it will take to charge.

Plug it in overnight and let it do its thing.

hey everyone

im having a lil bit of trouble here and im hoping someone will have the knowledge i need...im using eclipse trying to build an app. i have a real simple app inmind and it consists of 4 icons that will link to their own forum, but im stuck trying to figure out how to link these websites when clicked...that being said im fairly new to the java world and im just looking for a nudge in the right direction here on where/how to make these buttons work.

[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
Android uses a Uri scheme to access resources outside the scope of your program. Checkout the Uri class and the startActivity method in the Context class.

As far as what the uri needs to contain, it is very simple, just the website address you want to go to. Here is the uris needed to access google services

thanks for your advice.i really wish i knew more about java; i take it all my changes will be in my java & manifest files?? i dont know what actions to take really and i need a lil bit more indepth answer on exactly what i need to add/change...
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
this example assumes you used an xml layout file called http_button_layout.xml and has a button inside called button1

/**
* Created by IntelliJ IDEA.
* User: Tyler
* Date: 5/10/11
* Time: 6:47 PM
*/
public class HTTPClickButton extends Activity {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
//call the parents onCreate
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

//set the view to some xml layout file with a button in it
setContentView(R.layout.http_button_layout);

//get an instance of that button to be used in the code
Button launchWebPage = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);

//attach an onClickListener to the button and define its action
launchWebPage.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
//the action to partake upon pressage of said button
public void onClick(View view) {
//the Uri.parse() method takes a string and converts it to a uri that android knows what to do with.
//in this case it sees a link and launches the web browser
//changing Intent.ACTION_VIEW will change the behavior of the link
//Intent.ACTION_WEB_SEARCH is the other option
startActivity(new Intent( Intent.ACTION_VIEW , Uri.parse("http://www.fistfulofneurons.com/") ));
}
});

}
}

hope this helps. of course this is one button but it will work for more. just rinse and repeat
[Android Software Development] frosteddroid:
to answer that i haven't made an xml layout file yet called http_button_layout.xml but i take it i will have to make an xlm layout file and java class for each icon? sorry supernewb when it comes to this code stuff, almost like learning a new language,lol...
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
you dont have to. but you will have to perform the .setOnClickListener() on each button.

are you using the Button class or is it just an image or someother class? cause it doesnt matter if it is a Button or not. even if its a TextView you can still perform the .setOnClickListener() i believe it is a function defined in the View abstract class.
[Android Software Development] frosteddroid:
im using an imagebutton option, fyi....dont know how much that changes things here tho...
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
You are golden. Since you are using java as the layout you just need to perform the setOnClickListener() on a reference of your ImageButton and forget anything i said about xml. Although you should investigate xml for layouts as its alot easier and faster to make a layout

You mind posting what you have so far to generate that screen grab up top?

this is my main xml if this answers your question about the screen grab? rightnow i only have my main app icon, i need to get my 4 other icons inserted but other than that this parsing is my only hurdle, really..
[Android Software Development] frosteddroid:
lol now im confused, so does that mean i only need to do this part of your code in java, and does that mean i don't have to make a button_layout.xml? lol sorry java's not my first langauge, they totally should of taught this in school:o

//attach an onClickListener to the button and define its action
launchWebPage.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(View view) {
//the Uri.parse() method takes a string and converts it to a uri that android knows what to do with.

}
});
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
K so you are using an xml layout. Is that called main.xml? In my example you would replace my R.layout.http_button_layout with R.layout.main

And then when referencing the buttons you would change my R.id.button1 to the @+id of each button in your layout. So it would be R.id.imagebutton1.

The R class is a class generated at compile time to help reference ui elements defined in xml from your java code

And i don't think you can have ids defined in xml with capital letters. So you might want to change imageButton1 to image_button1

[HTC Inspire 4G] Tmullins23:
I tried to install a new ROM and got stuck in a soft boot. I did the battery pull, and power down and volume down buttons to put me into recovery.

I then went to the recovery portion after it searched for the pd98img file and then it just goes to a black screen.

ANy ideas?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
what rooting method did you use? if it was bubby's check my sig.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tmullins23:
OK this is what I did...

I back stepped...

- I installed the PD98IMG zip file from id10terrordfw found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1061712

I was originally having poor cell service. It was dropping bars and jumping on the edge network. So i thought that upgrading the radio would fix this.

I copied the PM98IMG file to my sd card and rebooted into recovery. After I loaded the new PM98IMG file, it stuck me in a soft boot. I removed the sd card erased the PM98 and installed the original one that came with Bubbys hack and now its up and running.

I'm having issues upgrading the radio and I want to avoid going eng-off.

My current radio (baseband version is) 12.39.60.19H_26.06.06.06_M.

Can I take the original (BUbbys) PD98IMG file remove the radio.img and replace with id10terrordfw's radio.img. Will that work?

DO I need to install the ROM first then do the radio or can I just upgrade the radio then go into rom manager and dl a rom of my choice. (RCMix preferably or Cmodygen - spelling)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tmullins23:
Well.. I answered my own question. I changed bubbys file and inserted the other radio, booted in recovery and now I have the new radio.

Thanks all..
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tmullins23:
As the problems continue.... I'm hoping that I can somehow get this all sorted out.

I did a fresh clean install of RCMix HD via Rom Manager, and updated the radio to the current 12.39a.60.19U_26.06.06.30_M

My signal strength goes from -97db 7asu up to -110db - not sure if that matters.

My service goes from full service to 3 bars to 1 bar to edge or 3g service quite often and kicks me off wifi at times.

Any recommendations?
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
Just so your not confused in the future, when you reboot and that pd98 .img auto loads itself, that isn't recovery, its bootloader. Recovery is what you installed with rom manager with the orange text. You don't need rom manager (the app itself- I don't use it, you may or may not want it ). Clockwork recovery will stay on your phone until you somehow reflash a new recovery img.

Just clarifying so no one gets confused with what's what

Clockwork mod recovery- black screen- newer versions are orange text(ext4 compatible)

Bootloader mode- white screen with an android Guy(where you'd flash a pd98img, or issue fastboot commands)
