Hi ed.dark!

Thank you, I try it now...

EDIT: not working...

I do as you wrote and restarted into recevery.

as you can see there is something wrong: starting recovery I have some error and I cant access the recovery-restore menu
[Xoom Android Development] solarnz:
This recovery image requires an external SDCARD to function, and I can tell by you're pictures that you're getting the exact error messages if you don't have an sdcard.
[Xoom Android Development] ed.dark:
It may be an SD card error. Try a different micro SD card or format it again.......
[Xoom Android Development] davidebeatrice:
oh my...it was my sd card...i flashed sucessfully using another one!

NOW...Ive 3.1 but it seems im not rooted: Ive a different recevery and i cant install cwm recovery. rom manger cant su permission..

How to have again root? Can i follow this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1049901 ?

Hello

Im having an issue with the Aus 3.1 rom and tiamat kernal. It all installs fine and everything works except the sd card unmount. If I go into settings and select storage it just force closes so im unable to unmount. Wondering if anyone else has the same issue or maybe a solution.

Cheers
[Xoom Android Development] ed.dark:
I get that with Launchpad Kernel. The kernel needs modding to mount the sdcard in the standard aussie mount point. Maybe edit /proc/mounts???? Any help from @solarnz appreciated!
[Xoom Android Development] lordao:
sdcard

anyone managed to fix the sdcard issue, changed build prop as suggested but still no sdcard. worked before i pushed frankenrom build?

Lordao
[Xoom Android Development] Tim24:
Do not push the frankenrom build.prop, just use the build.prop that comes with the AU ROM. 3G is working fine without pushing any other build.prop or telephony.db etc.

There is only one thing: I had to add my APN manual. No problems so far - 3G and SD-Card are just working fine!
[Xoom Android Development] Marshall1975:
@solarnz

Just wondering if you have had a chance to look at the sd card issue when using the tiamat kernal with the aus 3.1 rom.

cheers
[Xoom Android Development] solarnz:
I have downloaded the images and I have a pretty good idea of what the issue is. I should have an update-zip for you to apply over the launchpad / tiamat kernels. This should allow you to use any 3.1 kernel with your sdcard still working.

Anything I post on this will be entirely untested however as I don't have the funds to buy another xoom ;)

[General Questions and Answers] Tinkerer76:
Greetings!

First time poster, long time reader.

I have been using a SE Xperia X1a that I bought off Ebay since Sept. 2009. I have stuck with this phone because I have an unlimited Medianet HSDPA service that costs $10/Mo. I frequently tether as a wireless router for either my laptop or Ipod Touch 4g. ATT still has not recognized this despite using 2gb+/mo.

The hardware in the phone is breaking down. I am looking for a replacement device that can do a similar service for me- $10/mo/unlimited internet. Are there any foreign branded Androids that can do this?

I did do a search for about an hour before giving up and asking this. Thanks are coming your way for responding :)
[General Questions and Answers] deathsled:
I'm really not sure why you think your plan is tied to your phone? Just get whatever phone tickles your fancy and put your sim card in it.
[General Questions and Answers] Tinkerer76:
I don't think my plan is tied to my phone. I'm sorry if that's how it came across.

I am able to capitalize on unlimited MediaNet data because ATT doesn't recognize my Xperia's IMEI- they think I have a dumbphone.

The hardware is failing on my Xperia, and I am looking into a replacement. I'm fully willing to buy an foreign phone out of contract if it's known that ATT can't recognize the IMEI.

If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated :-D
[General Questions and Answers] caution523:
They dont think you have a dunb phone(Non Smart Phone) They just havent cared to check. In my experience they only check what style of phone when upgrading services, such as data plans and such. As deathsled said, get any phone that makes you happy and insert yoour sim card. P.S. Make sure phone is able to accept a sim card, and if unlocked make sure its able to listen to the carries specific signal.
[General Questions and Answers] Tinkerer76:
Well they do think I have a dumbphone. That's what I had to tell them when I signed up for MediaNet after purchasing the phone.

I don't want to buy a phone that they their system will instantly recognize and upgrade me from my MediaNet to a smartphone plan.

Is there a resource to check the phones that they know of? I could always just purchase the same model and continue doing what I'm doing if not.
[General Questions and Answers] Tinkerer76:

[General Questions and Answers] SmallWalrus:
I'm rather puzzled, why can't you just buy an unlocked phone from (say) Amazon? They do sell nice Nexus One units there...
[General Questions and Answers] abudabu:
I know exactly what you are talking about Donteventrii

I can give you a list of phones that might be suitable for you, that are unlocked and use AT&T 3G but their IMEI will still not be recognizable and therefore, you get to keep your $10 unlimited MEdiaNet data plan

Amazon: Any Nokia Phone - E72, N8, E7, E6 etc

NExus S - the one for AT&T which will have the 850/1900 3G bands - http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Googl..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1310519566&sr=1-1

T-mobile Galaxy S vibrant - Unlocked. It has AT&T's 3G 1900 band so you will be able to get 3G speeds in many areas since 1900 is the more widespread one.

Any Rogers (Canadian telephone service provider) smartphone unlocked since it uses the same bands as AT&T for it's 3G. I'm using a Rogers unlocked Xperia Play that I bought off a guy who'd bought it off Ebay.

That's just the ones I can think off the top of my head. I'll post again if I remember some more
[General Questions and Answers] Tinkerer76:
Thank you very much Abudabu!

I may have some follow ups, but I'm heading to bed.
[General Questions and Answers] squallrblade:
I would just get another phone like tmobile
[General Questions and Answers] Tinkerer76:
Abudabu, do you also use MediaNet for your Xperia Play? I see that ATT is getting Xperia play, do you think this will cause problems for you?

The Nexus S is quite costly still, though 2.3 has me drooling. I believe the Galaxy S may be my best option. I might buy it online and unlock it myself.

Any thoughts?
[General Questions and Answers] abudabu:
I don't use MediaNet actually. I'm on the $30 unlimited data plan that I opted for when I went with the iPhone 3GS.

You can swap your SIM card out of your current phne to any phone that does not have an AT&T logo on it and you should be fine. AT&T has the IMEI's of all the phones that IT sells, in it's database. So if you put your sim in an Unlocked Xperia Play from Rogers or from United Kingdom, you can continue using the MediaNet without any hassle. If however, you put your SIM card in a AT&T Xperia Play, the SIM recognizes the IMEI of the phone, and will transmit this data back to AT&T indicating you need to upgrade your plan since you are on a smartphone
[General Questions and Answers] Tinkerer76:
Any reason you don't switch back to MediaNet?
[General Questions and Answers] rwc3b:
I'm aware of the 10$ Medianet plan. But for those that use it with unlocked smartphones, how do you get around the texting?

I see a $30 unlimited data and messaging plan which defeats the purpose of the thread. Are you combining this with the 1000 messages for $10?
[General Questions and Answers] abudabu:
Well couple of reasons:

1) I wasn't sure if they even offer it anymore. I was under the impression they have tiered data plans now. $15 for 200 mb, $25 for 2GB, etc.

2) I switch phones quite a bit. So I prefer to just have the $30 unlimited data plan standard and I switch sim's in and out irregardless.
[General Questions and Answers] Tinkerer76:
Ah if you switch phones that makes sense.

But yes, they do indeed offer MediaNet unlimited for 10/month. I am sitting at 2.5gb this month with a week left in my billing cycle.

I mainly use it to tether my laptop while at work. We don't have wifi, and I don't want to use my work computer for personal business. In fact, I'm tethering it right now from work :)
[General Questions and Answers] rwc3b:
so where can I find a list of smartphones, compatible with AT&T, not in the IMEI database?

Just to be clear, I can purchase a dumbphone with:

$30 unlimited messaging/mobile to mobile

+

$15 unlimited data

with no voice plan (like the $39.99 for 450 minutes), go home and pop the SIM card to one of these unlisted phones and done.

$45 + tax for unlimited everything on a smartphone.

I can use Google Voice for landlines and international without incurring call forwarding fees and such.
[General Questions and Answers] Tinkerer76:
I don't think there is a list other than what's been provided already. I use the Unlimited family messaging and 10/mo unlimited internet.
[General Questions and Answers] brightstar2:
Thanks - Original POST is correct AT&T figures out smartphones it KNOWS about

Thanks, good list.

AT&T does figure out your using a dumb-phone-media-plan with a SMARTPHONE ... when they know the IMEI of the (new) phone you are trying to use. Their computer will auto-(evil)-magically bump you into 2GB data plan. You can undo the with a phone call to AT&T ... you tested another phone ...or a work phone.

T-MOBILE phone were my first try, but the use different 3G freq in US. Wouldn't be worth the hassle at slow 2G speed. Nice to hear about T-Mobile 1900 3G Android option.

Where are the Android pentaband (all 5 3G Freq) Phones?

I have an old N95 ... AT&T still thinks it is a DUMBPHONE and grandfather the unlimited data at $15/month.

The N95 is worn out and I'm look for Android phone that isn't in AT&T IMEI DB too.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Tinkerer76:
Is there any way to figure out which band is in my area?

Does the Rogers Galaxy S have the same bands as ATT?
[General Questions and Answers] Tinkerer76:
Anyone know?
[General Questions and Answers] jbeachconsult:
Rogers 3g frequencies are the same as AT&T's. As per which band, AT&T usually puts 850 in areas first, as it has a greater range, and 1900 in metro areas, as it has a greater penetration, in some cases.

Any phone not branded or approved by AT&T for use on their network will not automagically bump up to the 25 dollar smartphone data plan. The $10 Medianet/basic phone unlimited will remain, and as I understand it, as long as the APNs are correct, it will work fine.

So the Roger's Galaxy S should work, as long as it is unlocked.
[General Questions and Answers] Tinkerer76:
Thanks for the info!
[General Questions and Answers] bracketologist:
If you want to continue to use your Medianet plan, all you have to do is get a phone that AT&T doesn't sell. I've been using phones from Canadian carriers (Telus, Bell...and I think Rogers works too) for a while and AT&T doesn't recognize them in their system. If they had, they would've switched me automatically to the smartphone plans.

There are exceptions to this though. I believe they did recognize the Nexus One.
[General Questions and Answers] sonus:
The Nexus One, Xperia X10a, and Galaxy SII from Rogers are automatically recognized. Any phone that ATT picks up gets recognized and it seems any phone that ATT considers for their network and tests will also get recognized.

B/c of this I don't think there are any ATT 3G WP7 devices that ATT will recognized. There should be a few decent Android devices though.

I really see no point in bothering with Tmobile devices as those would be (almost uselessly) limited to 2G.

P.S. The absolute granddaddy of all deals is $10 family medianet with unlimited data.
[General Questions and Answers] Caligula36:
Found this thread trying to find out if i could get a newer Galaxy S2 and still use the $10/month unlimited plan i have now. I do have a Tmo Galaxy S 4G, and it does work perfectly on ATT 3G with the non-smartphone plan. I think i may stick with this if it means saving $20 a month.
[General Questions and Answers] nakamoniel:
rogers phones

Alright I see 2 different variants here, 1 person saying Rogers phones are okay with medinet, 2nd person saying they are instantly recognized, can either of you 2 confirm what was your experience, I KNOW Rogers is X-at&t and their freqs, phone models and everything is identical, hence I was considering buying galaxy note on rogers which would easily set me back 500$ and before I risk that I wanted to make sure it would be worth it, Please let me know. Also which other smartphones are compitable from Telus or Bell??? I know telus has HSPA+ and LTE like att and Bell has LTE but i dont know if they match those of ATT

What is this?

This is a warning that multiple users, including myself, have hard bricked their devices by SBF flashing to 1.8.3 after installing an official 4.5.91 update.​

How can I avoid this brick?

You can avoid bricking your device by not flashing any over-the-air updates to Android 2.3.4. Instead, try flashing the 2.3.4 zip over here. Or, flash the pure stock images from here.
​

What if I already flashed the official 4.5.91?

If you flashed the official update from XDA or by downloading through a dev-blur server (note: this excludes this ROM), you should avoid flashing SBF files in RSD Lite. We've confirmed this problem exists when users flash the 1.8.3 build specifically. It may happen with other SBF files, though.
​

What happens when you hard brick?

The error shows:

SVF:105.1:2

Failed to boot 0X1000

[Atrix 4G General] Gutterball:
I really think theres something wrong with 1.83 it's junk I'm using 1.26 only and manually updating from there from now on.
[Atrix 4G General] geishroy:
so is it safe to go from the ota to 1.26?
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:

I have a replacement Atrix that was sent to me a couple of days ago. I havne't sent the old one back (vibration issues) I can update to the latest update and then try and flash back the 1.26 to see if that works.

I can try this out later tonight when I get home to make sure.
[Atrix 4G General] AllTheWay:
Just took care of that ;-)

I just flashed the OTA update from the other thread by renaming the file to update.zip.

It wouldn't surprise me if Moto did something to prevent you from flashing back to a earlier version sort of like what Apple does with the iPhone. Hopefully somebody will figure this out though. What about a NVFlash?
[Atrix 4G General] lilgmaine04:
so i had issues with 2.3.4 and flashed back to 1.8.3 before i read this and its bootlooping after the ATT splash. what can i do to fix this...im scared to flash anything else at the moment. somebody please help.
[Atrix 4G General] mudd_cat23:
Has the official OTA started getting sent out yet? im still running gingerblur 4.5 with a locked bootloader and im not wanting to do anything until the offical one comes out. My plain is to flash 1.2.6 sbf and start all over and do all the OTA updates all the way to gingerbread then unlock the boot loader after that. Is that way the safest way
[Atrix 4G General] AllTheWay:
I would try and flash 1.2.6 original ROM. Which version did you update with. Through CWM or through the regular android recovery?
[Atrix 4G General] msd24200:
dang and i was about to flash the oem to, hey all did you try to flash back with something other the 1.83? I'd say it wont make a difference, probably brick no mater which file you flash.

[Atrix 4G General] Gandalf:
i've been playing around with the 4.5.91 updates for the past few hours

things i've noticed:

1. I was able to easily and without any problems install kennethpenn's .zip for 4.5.91 over my "stock" (slightly modded, themed, but not a ROM) 1.8.3 using the new "untethered" CWM

2. Decided to try the "Stock 4.5.91", so I tried to flash 1.8.3 with RSD Lite 5.3.1 over-top of kennethpenn's 4.5.91, it FAILED EVERY TIME, both on my VirtualBox running Windows XP, as well as on my friend's extremely powerful laptop running Windows 7.

Getting worried, I reinstalled RSD Lite 5.3.1, the Atrix drivers from motorola's website, and downloaded and extracted a fresh 1.2.6 sbf.

I was able to flash 1.2.6 over kennethpenn's 4.5.91 and update back to 1.8.3 with no problems at all.

not sure if this helps you guys at all, but if it does, or if anyone has any questions and is interested in what i've been playing around with all day (keep your minds out of the gutter !:eek:)

just let me know somehow between a pm or a post here

Does your 1.83 pudding SBF downgrade the BL from OTA GB BL?

Someone already tested 1.83 pudding SBF to any stock full 1.26/1.57/1.83 SBF?
[Atrix 4G General] the2dcour:
Several people went from 234 "official" OTA > 183 pudding with no problems. I only suggest doing this if you absolutely must in order to prevent a hard brick.

I do not know if any of them tried to go from 183 pudding > 183/earlier stock, I wouldn't recommend it just for safety sake.
[Atrix 4G General] fernandoavc:
I didnt get yet why to rollback to 1.57 or 1.26.... To test Kholk kernel optimizations? (Over a outdated version...) or because of issues? ( so far I got nothing but some touchscreen stop working but hitting the lock / unlock fixed it) ... I am running the kenneth safe beta 4.5 gingerbread over the CWM mod

There is no Oficial OTA update yet, right? It's all about speculations right now.. or am I wrong?
[Atrix 4G General] the2dcour:
You aren't the only one who is confused why they downgraded ;)

In any case, yes it is all speculation and not official. I just use "official" to describe the update that was downloaded off Motorola servers versus the ones sam/ken cooked up ;)
[Atrix 4G General] NibblerWeather:
Noob here. Just need some confirmation before I take the plunge.

I recently wiped gingerblur on 1.83 from my phone by RSD lite 1.26 sbf. Then used OTA to get back to stock 1.83.

Once the 2.3.4 ota leaked I installed it via android recovery.

So, in order to unlock and use the Roms it my understanding that

1. Flash unlock SBF via RSD (this is a small file and not considered reverting to older version of stock?....., minimal permabrick risk?)

2. Use fastboot to run the OEM unlock sequence? Reboot?

3. Use fastboot to install cwm?

4. Use cwm to install ROMS?
