Hi,

Do you have Radio Leo 2.15.50.14.

Do you have 2.08 HSPL and MAGLDR already installed?

If so ,you are ready to go, with very little chance of brick.

The easiest way is to install the DAF at the bottom of this page:

Hello, I want to unroot my Desire because of warranty. When I flashed official RUU my phone still says AlphaRev Hboot and S-OFF. I don't know what should I do. I searched this forum but no results helped me...

Bootloader says this:

AlphaRev

BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-6.93.1002

MICROP-051d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

RADIO-4.05.00.11

[2] RADIO_V2 - OK

[3] RADIO_CUST - OK

[4] BOOT - OK

[5] RECOVERY - OK

[7] USERDATA - OK

[8] SPLASH1 - OK

Partition update fail!

Update Fail!

Thanks

EDIT: [6] System not failed but system is OK
[Desire General] dzumagos:
....

in their newest releases, alpharev made hboot write-protected, so that users could restore to stock (to get any rom up and running for example) but not loose custom hboot S-OFF.

in order to go back to stock S-ON hboot, go to www.alpharev.nl and download BravoDowngrader.

flash it using fastboot and then run the RUU.exe
[Desire General] Fade2:
Ohhh, thank you so much! I don't know about Hboot locking. So, my problem is solved!

Hey when i use launchr ex i like how it makes the picture fit on screen in landscape sense on the other hand blows it up and still uses scrolling couldnt find an option to fix this any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonakin:
I don't know if it's just my phone or something with my router (D-Link DIR-655) or if there's actually an issue with BAMF, but with Wi-Fi on, I'm losing about 10% battery life per hour (while doing nothing, no calls, no display, anything) where with Wi-Fi off and 3G on, I'm only losing about 2% per hour. (There is no 4G in my area yet.)

I have been on the MR2.5 radio since it was leaked, and I was using PlainJane v3 and did not seem to experience this, but it's possible I didn't notice since the battery indicator is different there. I switched back to BAMF once MR2 was supported to get CallRecorder support, and my battery life was horrible until I turned off Wi-Fi completely. I thought I read something in one thread about adrynalyne using different network drivers in his kernel but I'm not sure.

Anyway, here are some screen shots to show the difference. The first is on MR2.5 with Wi-Fi on. The stairstep effect during the night is interesting, but I don't know what caused it. The second is last night with MR2 and 3G on and Wi-Fi off, and then the third is this morning with Wi-Fi on. Whatever it is, it looks like the combo of the "Wi-Fi" process and the "Android OS" process are the culprits.

Has anyone else experienced something like this or got any ideas about how to fix it?

As an aside, I switched from MR2.5 back to MR2 yesterday, because I started getting reboots with Wi-Fi off (had no reboots for 10 days and then left it on 3G overnight and had at least one reboot and another the next day). The towers in my area are known to have some issues (see East Texas GPS issue a couple of months ago) but I don't know if that contributes to the reboots or not. But both radios have the same battery drain issue.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRkL3AD3R:
I'm running MR2 with Das BAMF Gingerstripped and I was noticing heavy battery drain on Wifi idle too. I however am not using the stock kernel, I'm using Imo's latest 3.4.0 GB Sense kernel. So I don't think its a driver issue.

I only use Wifi now if I need the extra bandwidth for a browsing session then I turn it off when I'm done.

Even more odd is that I've noticed some sporadic affects on battery while idle all-around. First off, I manually shut off my Mobile Network (data connection/3G) before going to bed. When mobile network is off, I get complete perfect sleep time on my phone. If 3G is on, I get little mini bars on the Awake line of the battery info which I'd figure happen every 5-10 minutes or so. But what's odd is, I use Battery Monitor Widget to log mA current usage and even when idle my phone draws anywhere from 10-42mA/hour which you'd think would average to roughly 1-2% per hour (I have an extended 2750 battery) but instead I find myself losing upwards of around 8-10% per hour, EVEN with 3G disabled and perfectly sleeping phone!

So whatever it is, I want to say its something with the leaked MR2, either that or Gingerbread is not quite so ready for use after all.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonakin:
Interesting... sounds like the same issue. Probably not Gingerbread-related since 1.8.6 is Froyo-based, but could have something to do with the MR2.x radios, especially if you're on a different kernel.

If so, surely more people have experienced this... MR2 seems to be pretty widely-used around here and people are talking about the great battery life.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNitebreedx:
I have the same exact issue. 10% drain per hour when wi-fi connected, and no other use of phone. Turned off wi-fi radio, running 4G pretty much 24 hours a day (one spot on my 20 minute commute where it falls to 3g for about 5 minutes), losing about 3% per hour when phone is totally idle.

I'm running das BAMF 2.1 GingerREMIX, MR2 radio, and latest lean Kernel.

I had awesome battery life on das BAMF Froyo ROMS, and didn't notice the battery drain when running BAMF 2.0.x . I've posted in a few threads here with this same issue, no one seems to know the solution, but not everyone is having the issue?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rester555:
I am on Das Bamf 3.0 RC4, Radio MR2 and have noticed better battery life than stock. I am going to get Juiceplotter and see how Wifi interacts with this build.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonakin:
I wish I could compare the battery performance between PlainJane and BAMF, but I really don't want to reflash my phone. I don't remember the drain on the battery being like this, and I was using the MR2.5 radio then.

At least everything else appears to be stable with this ROM, so I'm willing to sacrifice the Wi-Fi in favor of battery life, no reboots, fast GPS, CallRecorder, etc. Right now I'm just going with DaRk's method and just leaving Wi-Fi off unless I really need it.

Hopefully between now and the actual Gingerbread release all of the kinks will get worked out.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plambda:
I've been noting the same thing, but I wasn't sure that I could attribute it to wi-fi - I know I have a very weak signal at home. Ran a test overnight leaving the phone unplugged, it went from 95% to 15% in about 7 hours, and it looked like Cell Standby was the biggest eater (35-40%).

When I'm at my office I sit on 4G all day, and my battery life is great.

I believe the wireless driver is built into the kernel, yes? Don't know if any particular radio is to blame necessarily.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRkL3AD3R:
The immense battery drop you saw overnight was definitely due to poor signal. However I do not believe Cell Standby refers to the 3G/4G data connection, but rather the 1x CDMA signal that is used solely for the purpose of SMS/Voice. I get horrible signal reception in my home and if I left my phone idle all night and not in plane mode, I'd wake up to a near dead battery just like you. I went out and dropped and unbelievable $250 for a Network Extender and this 100% solved that problem. Now I get rock solid stable connections in my home, texts send/receive instantly and I don't get missed/dropped calls anymore.

When you refer to wireless driver that is the Wifi driver which yes is part of the kernel. However I don't think it's the Wifi itself thats the culprit. When you switch to Wifi the system is supposed to do a handoff from 3G/4G to your Wifi connection and then shut down the radios for mobile networks. If the radio is acting up, which being leaked prototypes they very well can and likely are, then its safe to say there is some serious interference going on behind the scenes which is negatively impacting battery life.

Then again I don't believe any conclusive tests were made on a broad span of devices to determine what the overall impact Wifi vs Mobile network usage has on battery life in an IDLE state. Almost always when people say its better to use Wifi for battery conservation, its because of a few simple reasons:

1) If you're on Wifi you likely have a better signal, being so close, and this means less power used to hold that signal

2) Wifi will always yield higher bandwidth than 3G, and most of the time 4G thus allowing you to browse/download faster and be done in shorter time

3) And the obvious part being on Wifi disables a battery hogging radio connection in replace for a more efficient short range radio.

But I don't think anyone's tested and has any data on the impact of STAYING on Wifi while the screen is off and the phone is idle vs being on Mobile Networks. So without that data who knows. Maybe the new 4G + 3G radio is more efficient than the old 3G radio and is actually using less power than Wifi. Only way to be sure is to use a completely stock Thunderbolt and do some tests then compare results.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonakin:
That's actually what my charts are comparing... phone sitting idle overnight with Wi-Fi on vs. sitting idle overnight with Wi-Fi off and 3G on. Of course on the first chart which covers a wider range, there was some light phone usage during the second half of the chart.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRkL3AD3R:
Your charts show idle yes, but idle battery consumption problems. We do not know if this is how its supposed to function with Wifi on while idling. It could be a problem with the rom, the kernel, the radio who knows. My point was that I haven't seen any conclusive data (such as yours above) for a STOCK device with perfectly functioning radios and stock kernels. We have no way of knowing if thats how its SUPPOSED to be or if there is something wrong going on with some of the aftermarket software.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plambda:
Just left my phone unplugged all night, but turned off WiFi. Went from fully charged to 80% in 7 hours. I'm starting to suspect that for some reason WiFi is not letting the device sleep. For now I'll just plug it in overnight or turn off WiFi.

i am having the same wifi issues and it was driving me crazy... I was going through every setting on my phone..deleting apps,disabling sync, always checking spare sparts, watchdog,checking my battery MA and for the most part things to seem normal...so im glad i saw this thread and im not the only one with this issue. Has any one heard from the BAMF team on this? I would really like to here there take on this issue.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonakin:
Haven't heard anything yet other than a few others experiencing the same thing. I'm going to play around with my Wi-Fi settings this weekend and see if there's anything I can do to make it not drain (use G instead of N, WEP instead of WPA, etc.)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonakin:
No luck so far... tried with G/WEP and was losing about 8% per hour after a full charge without ever even turning on the display.

I'd think it was a rogue app, except it doesn't happen when I just turn off Wi-Fi and have 3G on.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdog7879:
this was my same thought too but I have switch to 3g and I'm having much better battery life...have you tried a different kernel?

sent from my thunderbolt!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonakin:
After turning off Wi-Fi and leaving the phone on 3G all night, I dropped from 84% to 73% in about 10 hours. Immediately before that, I had posted about dropping from 100% to 84% in less than 2 hours on Wi-Fi.

That seems like it rules out everything like rogue applications, antenna issues, etc. because I didn't reboot the phone or force close any apps. I just turned off Wi-Fi, let 3G take over, and only had 1% battery loss per hour.

I have not tried another kernel because I'm on the one that comes with BAMF and didn't want to tinker with that too much since CallRecorder is working, and I need that app.

But that was part of my original theory in the OP, and then the next person posted and said they had the same issues on a GB-based BAMF with another kernel so I assumed it wouldn't help.

Basically, right now the choice is do I want to use 3G and keep the battery life, or do I want to use Wi-Fi and keep the phone on the charger. I'm going for 3G unless I'm downloading something large, especially overnight when I won't be using it anyway. But Wi-Fi is "supposed" to make battery life better, not worse.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:
Guys wifi only saves power if the router supports certain power saving methods.

I can go from 100% charge to 98% overnight while asleep if I leave wifi on. The fact that you fine folks are seeing it on both Froyo and GB roms tells me that your routers are probably the culprit.

Besides, we don't use our own kernels on GB. So even in the unlikely event it was a power drain...it would be the kernel at fault.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonakin:
Thanks adrynalyne... wow, 2% loss overnight would be amazing. Even so, should the wifi loss be this much *worse* than just leaving it on 3G? Any ideas on what settings to look for on the router?

I have thought about going back to PlainJane temporarily, just to test and see if the same thing happens.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:
Just so you guys don't think I am making it up...this is the stock battery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:
No, it should not be that bad of a drain. 2-5% is acceptable, 10% loss is questionable.

Have any of you messed with the advanced wifi settings? Ideally, wifi sleep policy should be on Never when plugged in. Make sure Best Wi-Fi performance is not checked as well.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonakin:
Thanks for the ideas. I already had the advanced settings as you recommended. Since you seem to think it's a router issue, I'm doing some searching more centered around that, and it isn't uncommon, even for my specific router. Going to see what I can dig up.

EDIT: Found this thread in another XDA forum... seems to describe the same thing on a different phone. Going to put my phone on the router where no other devices can touch it and see if it makes a difference.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:

What settings did you use?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNitebreedx:
I hear you....and I want to agree with you, but my eyes tell me something different. What I do know, is that I ran das BAMF 2.0-5 and had awesome battery life on Wi-fi. Updated to 2.1, and battery life went to crap. I have my own personal wireless network at home (Linksys wireless router) and at work we have Engenius Wireless Access Points. Two totally different devices, my phone runs like crap regardless of what wireless network I'm connecting to.

I'm pretty sure that the kernel is different between 2.0-5 and 2.1, unfortunately 2.0-5 had the "slow charge" bug, which is why I went to 2.1 when it released and updated to latest lean kernel as soon as I saw it fixed slow charge.

If it helps any, I never saw this bug on any Froyo ROM ever, and I ran all the BAMFs from 1.5 to whatever version was out when 2.0-5 came out, (contrary to what you reference above, I don't recall which android version the other poster is on).

Hoping this helps someone else draw some conclusion.

Edit: Re-read the original post....OP is running MR2, as am I.....could the updated radio be messing with the Wi-Fi drivers?

Left my phone on all night with the latest OTA (rooted) and the latest radio. Tried to restore every app that I had on BAMF with Titanium, even if I don't have it running, just to make sure there's nothing weird going on. Turned off Wi-Fi sleeping. Rebooted and started fully charged with battery stats wiped and no applications or widgets running other than what starts up automatically.

This AM, after over 11 hours, battery is at 82%. Pretty much exactly what I got with 3G on my 2nd original screen shot in the OP. Still sounds like more than adrynalyne would expect overnight, but at least it is much better than what I'm seeing on BAMF. The rest of the drain could just be bad cell reception or something, and I can live with that part.

I've now restored BAMF 1.8.6 and made no router changes or other machine changes on my network and I'll try to get a comparison.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonakin:
No need to let this keep draining... after about 4.5 hours on BAMF I'm down to 73% compared to OTA going to 82% in 11.75 hours. So that's 1.5% per hour for OTA, and 6% per hour for BAMF.

One thing that has me puzzled though is that the usage percentages (Cell Standby, Phone Idle, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Android OS) are all proportionally similar. It's as if the Wi-Fi connection is causing cell standby and phone idle to drain 4x the battery as well, or otherwise just the Wi-Fi percentage would be a lot higher.

If Wi-Fi is on, the phone wouldn't be searching for a 3G or 4G connection with the radio, would it? I'm tempted to try the whole thing again with the cell radio totally off and see if BAMF behaves better.

plambda, I assume your comment means that using a different kernel did not fix the problem for you?

Thanks... that was going to be the next thing I tried. May still do it just out of curiosity, but might have to wait until next weekend.

That's interesting, first one I've seen having the issue not on BAMF. If adrynalyne is right and it's the routers, what are you guys using? I'm on the D-Link DIR-655, which I've found from other forums has seemed to drain the battery on other phones as well.

Still, that doesn't explain why it would be fine with the latest OTA and not with BAMF, unless it's either the kernel or something built into the ROM.

I flashed Imoseyon 2.6.0 and have the CPU and governor settings, cleared dalvik and cache and also battery stats. Doesn't seem to have made a difference in the short-term... will see overnight.

If this doesn't fix it, then either I'm going back to the MR2 OTA or I'm just going to leave it in "Never sleep when plugged in" Wi-Fi mode which will at least make it so that overnight it will go back to 3G and won't drain my battery, but I won't have to switch back and forth to Wi-Fi manually.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plambda:
Well, something may have done the trick, went from fully charged to 73% in 8 hours. I also noted that the phone was sleeping almost the entire time, awake time was about 15 minutes. Hopefully I can keep this going.

Imoseyon kernel seemed to do the trick for me. Went from fully charged to 89% overnight, more than 9 hours, with Wi-Fi on. At least now I'm hopeful. We'll see if it reverts to the old behavior, but I'm going to stick with this for now.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonakin:
Ok, the kernel didn't fix it. Why would I lose 11% overnight on one day, then on the next day do the exact same thing and the battery is completely drained and the phone is dead when I wake up? I'm talking about a fresh boot, fully charged, and about 9 hours later the phone totally shut off. Not even going to bother posting a picture. It is a straight diagonal line from 100% to 0% from about 10 PM to 7 AM. No variation in the slope or anything.

Yep, I guess that's all we can do. At least with Wi-Fi off it doesn't seem to drain like this. Apparently we are the only 2 people that are this obsessed with it anyway. :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jschecter:
I decided to ditch NTE (b/c of wifi batt drain) and do a clean install of remix 1.8.6 & lean 2.6. I restored apps w/o the data on Titanium. Now all of a sudden I'm getting better battery life on wifi overnight/idle (1%/hr).

Don't think it's the router issue b/c I'm still using the same one. I thought Remix should be the same as regular bamf since it's based off of it, but I'm getting different results that prove different. So just try a diff version, if you haven't already, and don't restore any data.

I've also installed the Llama app so that my phone will go into airplane mode at certain times of night when I know nobody is going to call me. Managed to get nearly 2 days on one charge.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonakin:
Reallly? I would have expected Remix and NTE to be exactly the same as well from the system perspective. I also had been restoring data as well. Thanks for the ideas; I don't know if I have it in me to try another ROM right now but I may change my mind this weekend. :)
