ok first go into clockwork recovery on rom manager and pick flash clockwork recovery and pick vibrantmtd then pick 3x NOT 2X! Then go to download rom and choose cm7 nightlie 8 or under as above have many probs. On ur nightlie choose all three! wipe data, wipe dalvik and backup rom. On ur second nightlie u just have to wipe dalvik and backup rom.
[Vibrant General] tommiwan:
Thanks for the help. I tried that with a slight variation. I had to manually put the ROM on the root of the SD card and named it update.zip. I flashed clockwork recovery and selected 3.x as you said. I selected all 3 options for backup and wipe. Once in recovery I select "Reinstall packages" and it finds update.zip but aborts installation with "Status 7"
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
Ur doing it wrong. Update package is for only rooting ur phone.
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
First root ur phone! Then follow my directions to get cm7
[Vibrant General] tommiwan:
the phone is rooted. Is there an easy way for me to double check that? Maybe I'm confusing two processes, but I do have the ROM on the SD card. Am I trying to apply it incorrectly? When I'm in recovery my only options are:

Reboot system now

reinstall packages

delete all user data

delete cache data

format internal SD-card

I'm used to see other option such as on my MT4G which has "install zip from SD card" That is what I typically use to flash a new rom.

Sorry if I'm missing something, but I do appreciate the help
[Vibrant General] tommiwan:
I've been messing with it all night. I wound up doing the ODIN to JFD to get myself back to 2.1. I installed rom manager again, and it appears that when I tell it to flash clockwork mod and then reboot in to recovery I am actually going to stock recovery. I think the options that I listed earlier are for stock recovery as well. I think the main thing I'm missing is the "Install ZIP from SD Card" option in recovery. I guess at this point I'm unsure if I'm rooted, and don't know how to get the correct recovery so I can flash the ROM I'd like.
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
If ur recovery is blue then u need reinstall packages twice then u will be rooted, then it will turn green. Then go into rom manager and flash clock work recovery. Then put ur rom on internal sd and ur ready to flash. Enjoy
[Vibrant General] tommiwan:
Ok, so we can narrow things down a bit. My recovery is blue. I've downloaded the update.zip that I found from "NOOB Root guide" here on XDA, but no matter how many times I reinstall packages recovery never turns green.

I've also tried the one click root method which does the same thing as above but it just automates things a bit. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739300)
[Vibrant General] tommiwan:
Bump.

Many thanks to movieaddict who has helped so far, but it appears that I don't have root access, and the typical steps found in this thread are not working for me. Any other ideas?
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
ok is ur phone hardware locked?? by checking by doing this do the 3 button combo to get into download mode. First power off ur phone then plug in ur usb cable to phone and into pc then hold down the up volume and down volume and THEN hold down the power button and let go after a few sec u should see download mode.. If it goes into download mode then ur phone is not hardware lcked and we can go from there if it is hardware locked? then follow this link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=801722

if it isnt hardware locked then make sure update package file isnt corrrupted and make sure u put it on ur internal sd card. Make sure the update package is 632 kb sometimes when downloading stuff happens.

im gonna tell u how i do root and flash! First odin back to eclair must easier to root then. Second put the update package on ur internal sd card and dont unrar it leave it as is. Then turn off ur phone and hold down the up volume and the down volume and THEN the power button and as when u SEE THE vibrant logo let go of power button. Ur recovery will be blue then select reinstall package and select yes, it will then go through stuff and come back to recovery blue then do it again and it will turn green. Once its green then select the rom u want to flash and ur ready to go.
[Vibrant General] tommiwan:
Thanks again. From your instructions I can tell that the phone is hardware UNlocked. I've previously gotten in to download mode. also, I see some differences in how you describe the root process. The update.zip is 633kb, I'll try to redownload it again... also, when I hit reinstall packages I am not prompted with yes/no, it just does it. It is a very quick process, and then it auto reboots the phone, but you said it should bring me back to recovery. I'm not sure why that would be happening

I'll mess around with this some more tonight. Hopefully I can nail this down. Sorry to be a PITA.
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
yah it should bring u back to green recovery after doing it twice! Yah that was my bad it asks u yes or no when flashing...lol!

Sent u pm!!!
[Vibrant General] jwalk74:
Try Superoneclick root! That always works for me. When u reinstall packages and it reboots, clockwork usually has NOT been installed, I always Odin then install Tom Manager, flash Clockwork, then its off to the races!
[Vibrant General] jwalk74:
Sorry Rom Manager not Tom, lol
[Vibrant General] tommiwan:
I've been going over the suggestions all night. I feel like I'm following the instructions... not that they are even that difficult. I get the update.zip on my sd card, I boot in to stock recovery (blue) I reinstall packages, the phone reboots in to normal boot mode, I reboot in to recovery and reinstall packages again. I repeat this process multiple times hoping that one of these times I'm going to see a green recovery. I know it's all smooth sailing from there. I even recorded a short clip of me doing this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPreHj16UEU

Is it possible that i've tried so many different way of doing this that I have the phone in a weird state, and now these guides aren't working due to those previous attempts? I tried super1click... wound up getting an error "Getting mount path" ... "failed"
[Vibrant General] jordanjf86:
A simple way to check for root would be to download Terminal Emulator from the market and type in "su" without the quotations. If you get $ or permission denied you are not rooted. If you get a super user prompt followed by a # you should have root. Also which rom are you on now? If you are on stock Kb5 the recovery could be giving you some issues trying to flash the CWM recovery or at least for me it did. I suggest using ODIN to go back to JFD, then using super one click root (make sure your screen is set to not go off for the 10 or 30 minute time frame) I suggest this because I have had the "failure to mount" issues many times and it only seems to happen if my phone screen goes off while attempting the root. Once super one click completes, reboot your phone, install Rom manager, then reboot into recovery. You will have to select re install packages from there. The clockwork screen will be green as a few others have stated. I have attached an image below of clockwork, mine is orange since it's cm7 but yours will look similar,but green. From here just choose install from zip sd card, choose zip and flash away. Best of luck to you!

[Vibrant General] tommiwan:
Is there something that removes the root access when you reboot the phone? I flashed the recovery for Galaxy S Vibrant (NOT Vibrant MTD) and was able to get to CWR (green), but sometimes when I go in to recovery it is back to blue... if I reinstall packages it takes me to green. Along those same lines I notice SU keeps asking me if the same application can have SuperUser permissions, so it seems like something is not sticking.
[Vibrant General] juanalvarez8727:
are you on 2.1 or 2.2? if you'r on 2.2 and use the update.zip it wont work you have to use superoneclick root ,happened to me too.
[Vibrant General] tommiwan:
Thanks for responding. The phone was on 2.1 because I used ODIN to go back to JFD.

I've since sold the phone (didn't care for it much) and gotten a G2X (which I'm also not wild about). Thanks for all the help everyone!

I came across this app, Volume+, in the N1 forums, I confirmed that it works on latest CM7. This may have been posted previously, but it improves volume significantly and I wanted to share. The NC's low volume made netflix hard to hear, even with Dalingrin's volume mods in the kernel at max.

The app was written by meltus and he has graciously allowed the xda community to use his app free of charge, .99 in the market if you would like to support the app.

It makes things a bit louder, but the sound is super distorted... Even through headphones the sound on my nook is incredibly quiet.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 12paq:
Use the DSP app that comes with CM7, works ok for boosting the volume up a bit and you can tune down the eq to the frequencies that distort on the crappy Nook speaker and boost the rest. Still the improvements are marginal at best, but its the only thing I've found that works at all.

Maybe the Volume+ app and the DSP together might inch us up a bit more?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Backwardsblade:
Sorry, I should have clarified. I did tune a bit in DSP. Additionally, having the NC in a case against the back speaker helps a great deal too. This app doesn't fix the sound issue, but it makes it a bit easier to hear video from a couple feet away.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tranquilchao5:
My speaker volume is fine, but the headphone volume is what's super quiet. I run cm7 nightly 87 and it got much quieter with the latest dalingrin kernel.
[Xoom General] nubsors:
So when I first got the xoom I was not too concerned with getting more storage so the whole SD card issue was moot. But now I have been ripping my DVDs into mp4 format and I have basically used up all my internal storage with about a dozen movies. I wonder when Motorola might grace us with an official patch to add SD functionality. I don't want to root my device.
[Xoom General] baronmax:
Apparently, there's one other way to add more storage, but you're not gonna like it. ;)

Inside the xoom is a mini pci-ex slot that could, theoretically, hold another small hard drive. This is still in the planning phase though, and ofc it means disassembly of your xoom. Considering the fact that you don't want to root, I'm gonna guess disassembly is going to be out of the question. :D

As far as rooting... why don't you want to do that? Yes, I know it's scary to root, but I've never talked to anyone who has regretted rooting their device. The additional features, working sd card and overclocking ability are worth the small amount of hassle it takes to get rooted.
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:

[Atrix 4G General] plvaulter06:
After installing Gingerblur V4, my phone was lagging more than I would like, nothing fatal just not performing awesome.

I went back into recovery, did full factory reset (wiped data, cleared cache) and then re-installed Gingerblur V4.

The phone booted up, and made it to the Welcome to the MotoBlur screen. About 10 seconds into typing my account name and password, it reboots every time.

Next, I did a full SBF flash of 1.83 hoping to just go back to stock. It does the same exact thing, continuous boot, and reboot loop.

I think it is rebooting after it says preparing internal storage in the notification bar.

Any ideas?

Do you think AT&T will give me a new one? That wouldn't be a bad deal.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
4.1.83 is not full system sbf. Flash 4.1.26 or 4.1.57.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
Can't do it. Motorola has this locked down, I believe at the hardware level, as call recording is not legal everywhere.

You can record the person you are calling if you use speakerphone, but not from the call directly.

Already several threads about this.

If I am correct it is possible on Chinese Atrix, as I read somewhere a long time ago they can use call recording.

Also, because it is a feature in a "generic" ROM such as the CM series, this does not mean it will actually work on every device. It is possible to disable this function at the hardware level, and no amount of software manipulation will make any difference.

Had an issue with a lost shipment, but they shipped a new one and got it within 2 weeks. Dock seems to work fine and I actually wanted it because of the mini-usb connections since I have so many mini-usb chargers laying around. It was also good that my 2150 mAh HTC battery can get charged as well since it was an open slot that doesn't care how thick the battery is. Seems okay thus far. It doesn't have a snap or guided locking feel to it that I would like when putting the phone in the dock, but it works.

This dock will not work with extended sized batteries.

I downloaded three ROM's and the hack kit when my phone shipped from Ft. Worth.

I had enough of a nightmare with a stock Wizard back in the day.

I'm glad HTC decided to dissolve the locked bootloader policy because my SOP regarding all new HTC devices is to not buy them until they're well-supported here. HTC support is useless except for free battery cover, sim cover, and battery while in warranty and hardware exchange. They've outright lied to me a handful of times.
