[Verizon Droid Charge] ryand0901:
So can I install this update if I am running altered beast.

Also what is the best rom for a charge?

I am still new at this, had trouble getting charge rooted before and after sytem update going from ED1 to ED2. that is why i am running altered beast.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DeathWalking:
No.

10chars.
[Verizon Droid Charge] derichio02:
Has anyone tried this yet?
[Verizon Droid Charge] papi92:
Its been rooted and voodood on the irc
[Verizon Droid Charge] Outsider2011:
You mean the new ota has been rooted already? What do we have to do to get this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
yes, it has been rooted, but you need to give them some time before they release the "root" version to us on XDA.
[Verizon Droid Charge] zerosignal0:
So dumb question but since I just picked up a charge, is there a way to boot this thing into recovery mode with a key sequence or do we still need to use adb from the stock ED2?
[Verizon Droid Charge] zerosignal0:
nvm found it... reboot then VOL UP+PWR+HOME

working great! Cant wait for the root patch to be vetted so I can get some superuser goodness! :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] H3Dude:
So the EE4 update is labeled ED2 on the mediafire download link? Is that the right file?
[Verizon Droid Charge] zerosignal0:
Yea it is because after the update I am showing the version running on my phone is now EE4. I can confirm some things feel a little bit snappier, also wireless tether now works again along with some minor updates to the reception icon.
[Verizon Droid Charge] H3Dude:
Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] joed5122:
Can I install this if I'm running stock non-rooted?
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
If you are completely stock, then just accept the OTA.

(and be sure to report back on GPS and 3G/4G switching ;))
[Verizon Droid Charge] pats4life100:
How do I install it cause im running gummy rom now
[Verizon Droid Charge] joed5122:
Yeah, I'm just impatient because I haven't gotten the OTA yet. :) I'm not in a 4G area yet but I'll let you know at least if the 3G coverage is better once I get the update.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
You have to odin the rooted Ed1 package, then update Ota

Edit: Make sure you disable lagfix first!
[Verizon Droid Charge] brian1972ct:
I rooted back to ED1 and downloaded the file that contains EE4. How do I actually install the update though? I put it on my SD card, rebooted, tried to apply the update.zip but that failed?

Nevermind, doing this now: you need to return to stock , update to ED2 then put that file on your SD card rename it update then boot into stock recovery and apply update.zip
[Verizon Droid Charge] jdmbaldwin:
Voodoo disabled?

Has anybody tried accepting the update on a lagfix-disabled, rooted ED2 phone? I'm on vacation, and really don't want to brick my phone when I can't Odin it back to goodness, but would love some mobile hotspot and better GPS lovin'. If it's not to be, though, I can wait until I get back.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
As long as you have stock recovery and no lagfix it should update fine. Cwm recovery will block install.
[Verizon Droid Charge] suzook:
Has the baseband version changed?
[Verizon Droid Charge] roselindo:
I can confirm that this worked, 4G seems to be more stable. Build number SCH-I510.EE4. I updated by downloading the file then renaming to update.zip and rebooting to recovery mode
[Verizon Droid Charge] asenduk:
Yep.........
[Verizon Droid Charge] H3Dude:
i did not notice this before the update, the signal bar is now five six bars vice four.
[Verizon Droid Charge] suzook:
what??? Wtf? Lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] froodyo:
Well, atleast I wasn't the only one thinking this lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
Stock auto-correct has gotten worse.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Yankees368:
Since last night, I have noticed that GPS has gotten a tad bit better. I will give this a proper test today. However, My 4G performance on ED2 was already pretty damn good. Landed in NY yesterday and didn't lose it once. Will report back later.
[Verizon Droid Charge] lpsquall:
I used the one click root for ED1 and haven't installed anything else such as voodoo, CWM, etc. I am currently rooted in ED1. What do I have to do in order to install the new ED4 and keep my root?

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
It's EE4, not ED4, but I know what you mean. You can accept the OTA update in your scenario, but you'll lose root until the rooted version, or a rooting utility, is released.
[Verizon Droid Charge] lpsquall:
Sorry meant EE4. Thanks for the response. I will wait until someone releases a root EE4.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
If you dont take the update, you will not get the new modem(where many of the improvements are). We are unable to pull it off the phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jdmbaldwin:
Weird: I accepted the update, and it did... nothing. I confirmed I've got no CWM, but the phone didn't reboot and nothing installed. Now, I don't get the nag prompt anymore, and there's nothing in my cache, either. When I manually check for an update, I get nothing.

I downloaded and tried to install the update.zip in recovery mode, but got an error. Had a bit of a gut-check minute when the phone hung on the Samsung startup screen for what felt like longer than usual, but it booted fine and is running great... but still in ED2. Guess I'll be waiting until someone posts an Odin kernel here...

I swear, coming to the Charge from the Droid X has been a real pain. The phone is fine, but doing anything interesting with it has been a real ordeal. There's the learning curve with any new handset manufacturer, yes, but I've really never had so many issues getting root, flashing ROMs, near-bricking phones... I'm seriously considering returning this thing and waiting until the Bionic comes out.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dbroadus2007:
Stock Droid Charge

I just downloaded the file posted earlier, changed it to update.zip, turned off the phone, hold power+volume up+home and go into the recovery. I installed the update.zip and I am running the new upate just fine. I cannot test the radio yet because I am in Dallas were 4G is excellent!

Once I get home I will have a better update. I was just about to sell my Droid Charge for a iPhone today, lol. Glad I didn't!
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
I've come from Moto devices as well and I have to say these are simple to mess with IMO. Day I got it I charged it grabbed the 1clikc root and was done and ready to move forward. From there grabbed ODIN and the ED2 rooted file flashed it and away we went.

One thing to keep in mind is the device is way new still and will take some time to get moving forward. And once there is a CWR build fully working it will be simple messing with these compared to all the BS you have to deal with on bootloader locked Moto devices. BTW I would seriously think about your Bionic purchase tho. Currently it is still a POS from what I'm told as the software is terrible on it, and battery life is worse then the tBolt. That said being a diehard Moto guy for 20 yrs there is no way in heck I'm buying there first version of a dual core/LTE device. Plus if the bootloader is locked again with no option to unlock like the XOOM has Moto can keep it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Gnarnar:
I was waiting for the Bionic and it kept getting pushed back further and further with talk of scrapping the phone b/c of all the changes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DeathWalking:
I'm running PBJ w/ CWM and ED1 rooted...how can I update? I'd really like improved 4G performance...
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
wtf is five six bars? LOL
[Verizon Droid Charge] Yankees368:
Definitely noticing 4G improvements. Just took a drive through a few known weak areas (damn NIMBYs) and the phone promptly switched to 3G, hung out there a little bit, and then went back to 4G allll on its own several times. Very nice!
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
Good to hear! If I want 4G while at the office, I need to stand in the middle of the street. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] MasterRy88:
haha I work in a data center and its like a huge concrete building so NO 4G signals get in here. They were nice enough to install Verizon 3G repeaters in the building though....
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
My satellite office is 50 feet inside a 70 year old concrete building, and the Samsung MiFi had no trouble pulling down 4G. It did, however, fail to get a decent 3G signal.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MasterRy88:
Yeah I wish I could get 4G in here, right when I step outside I get it instantly. Maybe this update will fix that :-) But I doubt it
[Verizon Droid Charge] Yankees368:
Gotta love 700 vs. even 850, forget about 1900 or 2100.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Equinoux:
Updated and I'm still not getting any 4g signal. The 3g signal is weaker than on my Droid. Walked around outside for a bit with the same results. Oh well, at least I gave it a shot.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ryand0901:
I am running altered beast right now. is there an update to it? how do I update it? can I install ee4 update I am getting from verizon. What is the best rom/ os from the charge?

Thanks in advance for the help!
[Verizon Droid Charge] brian1972ct:
You can't just yet, and trust me it was a nightmare trying to roll back to EE2, install EE4 and get back on AB. I wind out doing a factory reset which was the LAST thing I wanted to do. I am sure AB will be changed soon enough to include EE4.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ryand0901:
thanks.

so what is this update i am seeing altered beast 2?
[Verizon Droid Charge] teddykgb715:
Did this fix anyone's mobile hotspot? It didn't fix mine.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Yankees368:
It fixed mine, until I managed to screw up the baseband making it UNKNOWN and now I don't have any service. What did I do!?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Racer447:
I don't have the update available yet. Must be staggered.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jumpie:
and loose root?
[Verizon Droid Charge] tcshort:
I haven't got the update yet either sure hope it will help with some of the lag
[Verizon Droid Charge] Yankees368:
My replacement Charge from today doesn't see the update either. Oh well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
I started being offered it last night around 11, so I finally used Odin to go back down to ED1, then let it do the OTA directly to EE4. It worked well, but I had good 4G before and hadn't tried the hotspot yet, so I can't report about those.
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
Edit: nvm

Lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] socom36252:
updated on my rooted charge and didnt lose root. so worth it for everyone. rooted or stock.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rjcormier:
Really? Did u do ota or use the zip file manually? Were u ed1?
[Verizon Droid Charge] tsitalon1:
Hmmm...Started with AB 4.11 --> disabled Lagfix -->flashed Rooted ED1 with Odin --> used OTA to upgrade to ED2 --> used EE4 file listed here to upgrade to EE4.

Settings-->about shows I'm on EE4, I have 6bar signal meter, but I have lost all 4g and I do not have the one click call back feature in the call log.

Anyway to at least get my 4g back?
[Verizon Droid Charge] socom36252:
I just tried ota to see and checked rooted apps and still had superuser.
[Verizon Droid Charge] H3Dude:
Oh that's funny. I didn't know what you were saying at first. Ha ha ha.
[Verizon Droid Charge] H3Dude:
Bad editing. Ha ha ha
[Verizon Droid Charge] lpsquall:
Were you on ED1 root and nothing else?
[Verizon Droid Charge] >DARKMAN<:
Why does everyone think there is 6 signal bars? There's only 5 look closer.

[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
I don't know about you, but I saw 10 bars last night.

Full Disclosure: I was drinking heavily, so double vision was the likely cause. :rolleyes:
[Verizon Droid Charge] >DARKMAN<:
LOL

Sent from my Voodoo Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] skipwagner:
I'm not getting the OTA :(
[Verizon Droid Charge] jdmbaldwin:
And I temporarily bricked mine just trying to get root. (Eventually unbricked and rooted, thankfully.) Now the phone has all kinds of FC problems like I never saw on my Droid or Droid X. I may well just be grousing and really am not trying to pick a fight... just saying that my mileage has varied.

This is such a good point I just had to kick some kudos your way. First-gen Android devices by any manufacturer have tended towards the craptastic. It's actually something I've said myself, when not frustrated and looking for greener pastures. There is much wisdom in these words; enough to make me quit Googling "droid bionic release date" at least until I independently decide whether I'll be sticking with the Charge. Since my other option is the Revolution -- well-liked by some but also not blowing me away -- I really do need to think this through carefully.

To be honest, at present I'm sort of wondering what I need root for. Since I can't make CWM backups, and with LauncherPro I'm not noticing the lag that evidently needs fixing, really the only thing I'd use it for is for Titanium Backup and to freeze/remove bloatware. If I can get myself to a stable device, while I'll miss backing up all my data, and will be annoyed in principle at an unrooted device, I don't think it'll really impact my day-to-day existence all that much. Hmm...
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
See this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14569932&postcount=6.

Save the file to your SD card as 'update.zip' and boot into stock recovery. Flash the file and wait 5-10 minutes for it to finish. Viola! You now have EE4.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jumpie:
This is all still new to me. Here's my scenario.

I'm running root from Odin on ED1. The OTA update says it's ED2. But it's really EE4?

If it is ED2, and I install the OTA, I lose root. But then I can get the OTA to EE4 and then just wait for root?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ralth:
How to get root on EE4?

So, I did ED1 -> rooted ED1 -> ota ED2 -> update.zip EE4.

I'd like to get root back. I've seen various references to voodoo/lagfix, but I can't seem to find details on how to install that on top of EE4. Can someone please point me to the right place, or explain what I need to do?

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] >DARKMAN<:
You just need to use odin to flash the Voodoo kernel> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14764513/VoodooChargeKernel4.tar.md5

You will also have to apply this patch in recovery to fix the sd card mounting to pc> http://www.androphiles.com/files/android/sdcard_patch_by_kejar31.zip
[Verizon Droid Charge] rjcormier:
Please confirm that yes you were rooted on stock ed1 when you took the ota and were still rooted. I would love this to be so...just doesnt line up with what the devs are advising, thanks in advance

[Verizon Droid Charge] hokulus:
Irrelevant question after another attempt
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
I can confirm this does work. I downgraded to stock ED1 root, then accepted the EE4 update and I still had root.

It doesn't really matter thought because you can just flash a kernel to get root. I wanted the kernel anyways for the RFS to EXT4.
[Verizon Droid Charge] psalm462:
I was rooted ED1 with gingerbreak and did the newest update EE4. It acted as if it was taking the update, but nothing changed.

Firmware: 2.2.1

baseband: i510.06 v.ED1

shc-I510.ED1

kernel 2.6 =,32,9

se.infra@SEI-28 #1

Build Number: sch-I510.ED2

Any thoughts as to why it didn't take it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] >DARKMAN<:
It did take an update, it took ED2

If you look at build, it says ED2

So it didn't update to EE4, but to ED2
[Verizon Droid Charge] Mac999:
Yes, ditto, please. Would love to OTA update to EE4 from a gingerbreak'd EE1 and keep root. Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
you will lose root by updating, but its not too hard to reroot after. If you had updated SU from market it will still be on your phone but won't work. I recommend backing up w/ titainium backup and then factory reset b4 updating.

Then get your root back by ODIN CWM and flashing imnuts pbj kernel of choice, or odin jt1134"s kernel if you want stock kernel+voodoo.
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
I still had root from stock rooted ED1 straight to EE4. If for some reason you don't just flash a kernel.
[Verizon Droid Charge] psalm462:
After gingerbreak, I went into the build and changed everything from ED1 to ED2 to stop the updates. When I got the EE4 update and decided it was time to bite the bullet and try odin, nothing changed and I still have root.

Should I change the build back to ED1 and then accept the updates if they come in or could that brick it in some way?
[Verizon Droid Charge] psalm462:
I went into build and put it all back to ed1, rebooted and there was the ee4 update. Installed and everything us updated but lost root.

I guess it is time to try odin to get root back.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Homestar1217:
I have a totally stock Charge, not rooted and was on ED2, took the update fine. First thing I noticed was of course the extra skinny signal bars with the additional one added in... Curious about that... I never had problems connecting to 4G in a LTE area, so I can't say whether it's improved there or not. I can say that I still randomly (very rarely) get a 3G drop for a second and then it will come back, but that's mostly in my work building where the coverage sucks. GPS works fine for me as well. However I notice it's supposed to have the green call button next to the names in the recent calls list and yet I still don't have that.... My Vibrant had that... Of course I could also alphabetize my app list with one button on my Vibrant.... Although it couldn't make a phone call so the points are moot (network though not the phone, I loved my Vibrant!)...
[Verizon Droid Charge] psalm462:
After the update everything had ben better and I now even get 3g where I didn't and 4g at my house which was only 3g as of yesterday.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jumpie:
Well, here's what I did exactly

#1 bought the phone

#2 turned it on and saw and update so I updated

#3 tried to root and couldn't

#4 used Odin and the ED1 file and downgraded and rooted using GingerBreak

#5 Rooted

#6 Updated to ED2

#7 Kept root

#8 Followed this link http://urandroid.com/2011/04/30/instructions-how-to-root-the-verizon-samsung-droid-charge/

#9 Bit the bullet and did the OTA update to EE4

#10 Rebooted and checked SuperUser and still have root

#11 Opened ConnectBot and had a $

#12 Typed su and changed from $ to #

#13 Checked About Phone and Software Update and says Software up to date

#14 About Phone: Baseband i510.060 V.ED1 SCH-I510.ED1 Kernel Version 2.632.9 se.infra@SEI-28 #1 Build Number SCH-I510.ED1

So my question is: did the update truly work? I guess so even though the numbers are wrong. I don't know. I'm new at this stuff!

So this didn't work.

Now I've followed this skipping steps 1-3 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1121201
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
Doesn't look like it worked. First baseband# should end w/ EE4 same w/ build #.
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidnewb2000:
so can someone help out a total newb...who has no clue wtf is going on? I paid some dude to root my phone so I could do wireless tether, but then this update popped up and my phone is in desperate need. I have no software and have no clue what he did, nor do I know much about any of this stuff since I just switched over from Blackberry. How do I get the update without bricking my phone? If i need to download stuff please note I have a mac.

Thanks to anyone who has the heart to help a clueless idiot out (i guess we all gotta start somewhere....)

Thx
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
I would probably flash back to ED1 version with instructions in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1085190

then after that goes thru take the EE4 update over the air. Than follow these instructions to reroot

know this isnt the help thread but no one seems to know what i did wrong on my phone

i rooted it using odin program but when it rebooted it stayed on the google boot screen with a picture of an unlocked lock on it need help from anyone

the phone i have is a galaxy nexus not the LTE version
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
This thread is for the Droid Charge, so I hope you did not flash anything found in the Charge forum. Head over to the Galaxy Nexus forums for assistance.
[Verizon Droid Charge] emtee_skull:
Get back into download mode and revert it to stock(get that info from the section NotATreoFan linked too). Start from scratch. I don't know anything about the phone but that would be my first step if I had hangups.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paravorheim:
LOL, you all thought that I thought that the Atrix Lapdock had a touchscreen!

No, but seriously. http://stores.ebay.fr/Visualtouchwo...d=360513148&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1581&_pgn=2

this store has a resistive touchscreen for the 11.6" screen size, which is the exact size of the lapdock screen. Although it isn't the capacitive we know and love, it's better than nothing.

The only problems now would be how it would fit in the lapdock with its unusual hinge, and drivers.

I'm not sure about the fit, but the drivers could work through the full ubuntu mod.

Anyways, I just thought I would shoot this out to anyone willing to back me up, or correct me.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inspector_Gadget:
Ok, this just looks cool. Has anyone tried it? does it work with the Android OS?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesummoner101:
No one has tried it, otherwise this thread would have had more responses in the last year and half. Don't think anyone was willing to spend money on a touchscreen that may or may not work. Plus the thing costs just as much as the lapdock if not more.

Being that we have Linux based phones. I am not worried about a true "virus". I don't think it's going to happen. As far as a mal-ware scanner i don't use anything. Google is a information whoring company so i know the mal-ware software would be going off frequently. I do use Lookout mainly for the device tracking software, but other than that it's really not needed.
