[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omni_angel7:
I flashed pudding on my 1.83 ATT atrix. This worked fine, and I am trying to get CWM for unlocked bootloaders now. I am following the instructions directly from the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138541

Problem is, after extracting the zip to C: and running "fastboot flash recovery C:\(image name).img", I get "fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command..."

This leads me to believe that I don't have adb set up properly. I have standard adb set up for pushing apk's, but am I missing something specific for fastboot?

All i have under android-sdk-windows>platform-tools is adb.exe adbwinapi.dll and adbwinusbapi.dll. I DO have USB debugging on lol.

I seem to remember having more stuff under platform tools at an earlier date. All the threads for setting up adb are LONG buried, and after exhaustive searching, I finally gave up and decided to post (at least not in dev :P). Even turning to google for adb help, I only get a bunch of the ad-farming tip websites that are outdated.

Please help me out guys. I can usually help myself after enough research, but I admit defeat on this one :/

Thanks much,

-omni

Alrighty, let us see here...

Try this.

1: Create a folder named fastboot (or whatever you prefer, just something simple like that) on the root of your C drive.

2: Download this file, http://www.mediafire.com/?yl17mz8l7w9h687

3: Unzip contents of said file into the folder you created in step 1

4: Click on Start, type cmd into the bar at the bottom and hit enter

5: Type cd C:\fastboot (or whatever you named the folder in step one)

6: Type moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img

That should work. The recovery included in the flash is current AS OF THIS POST. Obviously, the instructions will change if you download a newer copy of CWM as they are released, since the filename of the recovery file will change.

If you are wondering why it is moto-fastboot, the fastboot I included is the modified one that allows for larger img flashing. Not particularly useful anymore, with CWM working well now and all... but hey.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omni_angel7:
Thanks SO much for the quick response and all the effort :D I'd actually updating OTA from 1.26 because I flashed back, thinking no one was gonna help! Well, when I feel up to it another night. I'll give this another shot. Thanks for the custom fastboot, too!

[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Well, no.

There are still plenty of gtab users out there. Trust me. The traffic to my website is still quite high.

In fact, my website is what contributed to the lower number of new posts in xda. Also, everything that can be said pretty much have been said. All people have to do now is do a search. Quite simple really.
[G Tablet General] Radon_22:
All kinds of Gtab activity going on. Some on other places, but like GI said, you can only ask the same questions so many times. :)
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
to give you an idea of the traffic volume to my website, the bandwidth limit for the month was passed in the first week. that was back before my site showed up on google search. The number increased once google started showing it. Then a woot sale spiked up traffic. I had to buy more bandwidth 3 times to keep the site from shutting down.

No, I'm not boasting about popularity. Just giving you an idea how many people use the gtab.

[Acer Iconia A500] mburke178:
is there anyway to get rid of the lockscreen in 3.1 so when you wake the tablet you are on the last screen you saw. i can disable it on my phone with cm7 2.3.4 rom, and had apps that work with 2.2 or 2.3 but i can't find anything to work with 3.1. i know it doesn't take long to unlock it, it just bugs me that i have to everytime i wake it
[Acer Iconia A500] JetskiMark:
No Lock worked perfectly when unrooted on 3.0.1 and continues to work with 3.1 rooted. I never lock the screen on my A500 since it does not fit in my pocket.

I tried to post a link but I am no allowed to yet. Just search the Market for "no lock" including the quotes.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
You need to have a special feature called fingertouch

- Try to find the application FINGER on the hand.market.google.com

- Install It or Find a friend who have it already

Now you should see on your Real Life Desktop this

Looks strange no ?

Ok now get ready for the most hard part, require at least a doctor degree in information and technology

Your tablet should be locked as following.

Use your new feature TOUCH (it's installed with FINGER by default don't worry) on the screen of your tablet like that

then when your tablet is unlocked, you should be on this screen (may differ of yours but it's ok don't worry)

Now use TOUCH again on the top right of the screen (there is a kind of 6 square, 1 is one other are grey, and a text on the right side "Apps")

Now you are on this screen, you can slide from left to right or right to left, you need to find the SETTINGS icon, then use TOUCH again (I know you may hurt FINGER but after you will use to)

Then now use TOUCH on the text "Location & Security"

Use TOUCH again on Configure Lock Screen

And Finally use TOUCH on Off (never lock the screen)

and Here we are :D you just figured how to not install junk application and save time :D

have a nice day.
[Acer Iconia A500] JetskiMark:
There was no need to sugar-coat your response. That is a good tip. Thank you for presenting it so eloquently.

Since that option is not available on my Froyo phone, I did not even go into the lock screen menu on Honeycomb because I did not want to set a password or pattern. I should have done more exploring.

No Lock uninstalled on my A500 but still necessary on my phone.

Could you please provide a Market link to the "FINGER TOUCH" app that you mentioned? I am unable to locate it. My insatiable girlfriend has expressed extreme (and urgent) interest in it.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
are you serious about the FINGER TOUCH ?
[Acer Iconia A500] JetskiMark:
Your reply was priceless. It literally put a smile on my face. Thank you.

This thread was fun and I actually learned something.

I like the guide for dummies (like me) that you posted. That was funny. You need to rotate the pictures though.

Im on SFR 2.1 everything was working fine earlier today, I cant think of anything I did to cause this. Im super stressed, iv searched around, people say to re-flash the phone... that makes me nervous.. what should i do? any help is much appreciated.

Sounds like data corruption. Are you journaled? Did you have an abrupt power off of the phone?

If you have a recent nandroid backup, restore it from cwm. If not, you will need to reflash the rom.

no im not journaling at all, the phone has been on all day untill I recived the errors. I tried to restore my phone using CWM and now I can get to my contacts but im still having gapps crash n stuff. idk what to do, i wana go back to stock and take this damn phone to the sprint store.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanity213:
I doubt it's a hardware issue, sounds like data corruption potentially caused by lack of journaling an unstable undervolt/overclock or a combination of the two. Reflash your ROM of choice, and turn on journaling (if it's not already). It's a slight performance hit, but well worth it. Honestly the only time you'd even notice a difference is during a benchmark, these phones are plenty fast enough.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
It's your own fault. At least learn from it, utilize apps like titanium backup to backup apps and settings, make weekly NAND backups and enable journaling so it is unlikely to happen again.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Root:
Bad flashing can happen on any phone. You would have had the same problem with journaling off on any phone. You can return this phone and still flash yourself into force close hell on a different phone. You aren't using Android right, it's not the Epic.

Now, just so I'm clear (not my first Android device so I'm not wholly new, but it is my first HTC), if I used alpharevx to get S-OFF, I will remain that way even if I went OTA to GB, I just would be unable to root? Is that correct?

why would you accept the OTA and risk it. 99% it will take you to S-ON and ur stuck on gb with no way to re-root. just use the rooted OTA ROM...

Other way around buddy. S-off leads to root

I have a HTC Evo 3D. I'm needing to connect a USB mouse and/or hub. The unusual part is that I will also like to be able to power the phone from an external source like a car cigarette lighter.

Does this sound possible?

Hello! First, I want to say that I am amazed at people like you. My sister-in-law works with an autistic teenager and the schoolwork he does via his iPod is amazing. I think that he can churn out more schoolwork than I did when I was his age....

Now, to answer your questions - yes, the EVO can be powered via a 12-volt cigarette-lighter jack, so that won't be a problem. On the other hand, the mouse will be. At the hardware level, the EVO is a USB device and it needs to be a USB host (like a laptop or desktop computer) to take input from a mouse. However, I think a simple USB cable hack might solve that issue. I'll see if I can turn up a web page or two about the hack.

Secondly, Android isn't set up to be 'driven' via a mouse, but I have heard that people have done it successfully.

The real unknown is if we can do all these things with the EVO 3D....

If anyone else would care to 'chime in' to fill in the details that I don't know, please do....

when/if this phone gets rooted and we get some cyanogenmod love, it can use mouse input over bluetooth same with keyboard input. im gonna be nice (for once) this is posted in the wrong section. this is the development section NOT Q&A. pm a mod to move to the correct location.
[HTC EVO 3D] Candar:
It makes sense for development if he's planning to do the cable hack and write a driver himself.

That said, i am not aware of any micro usb keyboards, and though there very well may be some, especially if you look up blackberry accessories. If that doesn't work, the usb to microusb cable job is straightforward, just lookup the pinouts and match up the internal cables.

As for power while it is plugged in, just use a splitter on your 9v source, and attach one to the keyboard usb power cables and one to the power pins on the hacked microusb plug.

After that, I don't know for the driver, and but as mentioned before cm7 does bluetooth keyboards (and mice?) - can we install drivers without root? How does that work?
[HTC EVO 3D] DomSim:
The first post is a question, hence this belongs in Q&A whether he plans on developing something is irrelevant since he is not doing so now in the Op

You can pair a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with the stock 3vo. Power the device with a normal charger. Unfortunately the mouse is useless as there is no cursor. The keyboard is novel though. I used a Logitech MX5000 series.
[HTC EVO 3D] derkgates:
First, thanks to everyone for trying to help.

Let me explain how I use my PC at home. My wheelchair has a small LCD display for the current mode/status of the chair like power, speed mode, and tilt. Plus it has an infrared transmitter that can be used to operate typical home theater electronics. The chair also has mouse emulation. When in the mouse mode the joystick that usually moves the chair becomes the mouse. The movement is translated and sent out through the infrared transmitter to a USB infrared receiver. The infrared receiver is HID compliant so it works on about everything. I'm hoping to find a solution similar to this on the Evo 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] ianoob:
Maybe send an email to Logitech and see if they can help you... they have a mouse for Honeycomb and may be able to explain house to use the joystick on your wheelchair. Good luck and let us know how it works, could help a lot of people :)

is the receiver that is HID compliant bluetooth capable? if so, you should be able to pair the phone to that receiver and have it working.

Maybe somebody could create an app that would use the front facing camera kinda like the xbox kinect?
[HTC EVO 3D] derkgates:
Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to move enough to make the gestures. It pretty much needs to be the joystick/infrared built-in to the chair. Thanks for the idea though.
[HTC EVO 3D] derkgates:
it is PS2/USB. A couple of years ago I thought about trying a serial-to-Bluetooth adapter, but wasn't feeling too confident it would work so I shelved the idea. do any of you think that might be worth trying?
[HTC EVO 3D] DomSim:
i dont think it will be possible then unless you got a 3.1 honeycomb device as they have usb hosting abilities. maybe the manufacturer of this input device offers a bluetooth solution?
[HTC EVO 3D] ianoob:
The device I posted does have Bluetooth capabilties, quite a few mice do... the issue I see is that Gingerbread doesn't support the mouse (no pointer) or the driver. Need this bad boy s-off and a Honeycomb port... or somebody smarter than me
