[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jnewell05:
One thing before we begin, unlocking your bootloader will format/erase data. Basically a factory data reset so make sure you backup everything.

Here is what I did to unlock my bootloader and gain root.

1. If you were to update to the OTA 4.5.91. Or already on the OTA 4.5.91 you can still unlock your bootloader.

2. Flash pudding only SBF so you can unlock the bootloader. http://diamantephoto.com/fastboot.rar direct link. Flash this one.

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1136261 Original Post about pudding.

DO NOT FLASH ANY SBF UNTILL YOU COMPLETE THE ENTIRE STEP OR YOU WILL HARD BRICK aka phone will be a paper weight.

Once you flash pudding phone won't boot instead will go to a text only 14 option screen and say something like, No OS found, failed to boot 0x1000. Here is a picture for people who are freaking out. http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=651901&d=1310422138 .Don't freak out and tell me you bricked you phone blah blah blah. You still have to unlock the bootloader by choosing fastboot from your phone and connecting it to the computer via usb. Make sure you have ADB with fastboot tools installed on you computer.

Open command prompt from you computer and type fastboot oem unlock. It'll display warning about voiding warranty and a unique device id. Type again fastboot oem unlock ############. The # are the unique device numbers. Don't type # it wont work. The instructions are posted on the pudding thread if you would like to read more about it.

Then type fastboot reboot to reboot. Unlock should be displayed on top left of screen and it'll take 5 long mins to boot up.

3.Then you need to install CWM and root.

You'll find instructions in the developers form. But if your lazy here is the CWM link. http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1138541 follow the instructions or every time you reboot you will loose CWM. For root there are two available for gingerbread.

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1140110 I used this one and got root.

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1138204 I hear this works too.. Haven't tested read the post if you want to use this method.

As always don't blame me for bricking if you happen to do so. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. these are the steps I took to unlock and everything works great. Absolutely no problems with my phone afterwards.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hakemcpu:
I then tried to support Arabic for the GB using this link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1062761

when copying "libandroid_runtime.so" and "libicuuc-arabic.so" the phone turned off and when i tried to open it, it stayed at the motorola sign.

at that time i was able to to see the boot menu when i press and hold the volume down, I tried to restore the system the way it was before GB, some posts stated that downgrading to 4.1.83 will hard brick the phone, so i tried to install 4.1.57 Stock rom and Now i am stuck with this error :(

If anybody could help because it is not possible for me to return it to the US to get fixed and then get it back here.

Any help is appreciated.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysticdrew:
how did you try to install the 4.1.5.2 stock rom? sbf RSD? If so, then you're likely hard bricked with no chance of recovery. Sorry. If you can still get into fastboot mode then you have a chance.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hakemcpu:
yes i used RSD mode :(

I didn't attempt to downgrade and I dont know if i am hard bricked, but don't want brick in case I am not yet... please help and thank you for any helpful advice!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G-Man.:
if this is the 'pudding' bootloader, dont you need to do the fastboot oem unlock commands to get past the boot error?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bl0wf1sh:
1) If you still have options after 0x1000, then you are only softbricked, and need to follow the instructions given with pudding (afaik, there should be a 0x1000 there in the process).

2) If you do not have any options, and the phone appears to switch off quickly after the 0x1000, then it's probably a hard brick, and nothing you can do about it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sass86:
I am in fastboot but the command fastboot oem unlock doesnt work. fastboot is not a recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkfangex5:
^^^to the post above^^^

you are in windows , your atrix is in fastboot , and its plugged into your computer...

rofl you need to get the fastboot an exe file, and use cd command to the folder containing fastboot BEFORE using fastboot commands :D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sass86:
wow.. I am an idiot, so tired I forgot is put in the file... umm, no way to do that now huh...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkfangex5:
so does that mean you got it to work? you need to get fastboot on windows , and to make it easy place it in C:/ (root of the hard disk) then open CMD , and then type "cd C:/" and then run fastboot commands :D

[Verizon Droid Charge] Xerrus:
I came from a Droid X and ever since I've had my charge one thing has annoyed the tar out of me: how hard it is to hear people and how often people tell me it sounds like I'm speaking through a tin can. Is this just me and should I take it back to Verizon and get a different one?

My fiancée has a charge as well and when she calls me (her voice quality is noticeably worse than other people) it's almost unbearable to talk to her. It's like listening to someone talk over a tin can through an earmuff...when coupled with my already bad overall sound quality.

Any input would be grand. My return policy expires in two days and I want to make sure if it's just me I have time to get a replacement.

[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
Some information would be great. Like.

Where are you located.

How far is your nearest tower.

What changes have you made to the handsets.

Were the handsets updated to EE4 or are you still running ED2 and awaiting the update.

Where did you purchase the handsets. Have you tried talking to the seller to see if others have had the same problem.

These answers will help in trying to help you with your problem

Thank you in advance,

Dragon Stalker
[Verizon Droid Charge] Xerrus:
Not sure how close our local tower is, we live in Bloomington, IN. which is a pretty large college town so reception shouldn't be an issue. We're both running EE4 and the handsets were purchased new at the Verizon wireless store, not a 3rd party vendor.

From day one I noticed people told me I sounded muffled and I noticed, in turn many calls I received I struggled to hear due to either the incoming caller's sound be wretched or the earpiece just wouldn't go up any higher to hear clearly.

I haven't asked Verizon yet if it's a common problem, figured I'd get some input on here first to see if it's just me or if others share my plight.

This is my second charge and ive had the sane problem. Talking on this thing is nearly impossible. The handsrt speaker cracks and pops if the volume is above half. Im actually contemplating returning it for another phone. I actually love the phone but the voice quality while talking is horrendous. I haven't seen a fix for it either. Drops way more calls than my DX ever did.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] harsaphes:
well dont forget ..phone hasnt been charged in months. Im trying to charge it but it just keeps rebooting.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
discharged battery would have been my response once you had checked the pins. I say check pins first because with a totally dead battery, you don't get any rebooting, even on external power. It will try a few times, maybe as many as a dozen, but will eventually stop even that.

did it have magldr installed? if so, it wont charge when android isnt running,, in which case skip to **

if it has winmo installed (though this is of course teh android section :) ), you can try plug in the charger with the battery out, and then insert the battery. it should prevent it trying to start and allow it to start charging. light might not come on for a while.

**If you can't get it to start charging, and/or you just like forcing the issue, take a spare usb cable, mini or micro, doesn't matter (you're gonna destroy it) and cut the end off, bare the red and black wires, and, using the wall charger, connect black to - and red to + on the battery, and hold there for about a minute. (can use your fingers, I can verify you don't feel a thing) Reinsert battery and get the real usb cable plugged in quickly from the wall charger. Should have enough juice to start starting, and start charging.

[HTC EVO 3D] xeroxsmm:
I hate this problem too, a workaround is to open the camera app and click the preview box in the corner. That will allow you to view the most recently taken pictures first, and when you switch to grid view it will start at the bottom.
[HTC EVO 3D] kiwiBeans:
Did you know that, when scrolling through the photos, there is a function similar to what you get in the addressbook (People)? Once you start scrolling and the little scrubber/scroll bar appears, grab it and move it manually. It'll allow you to fly through the images in a second. As you're doing so, it'll even give you a pop up of the date of the photos where you'd be if you stopped scrolling. I hope that helps.

I think the other annoying thing I've seen in every Android phone (or not seen) is the ability to choose a folder before/as you're taking photos where it will save to. On top of this I don't like the HTC photo numbering scheme (image sequence) instead of time stamp as a name. I prefer the time stamp as you don't have to worry about duplicates, repeats, or conflicting names when moving and shuffling photos from phone to phone or computer for backup.
[Galaxy S II General] linkandzelda:
Hello all,

I just picked up a Galaxy S2 and have been using it with stock for a while now. I've wondered whether or not I should root the phone. The only reason or thing i would consider doing is under clocking to get better battery life.

Should I root it for that? Is there a rom which is better than the samsung stock rom because I like the stock quite a bit.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] SiSL:
I don't think underclocking would get you a better battery life more than disabling some services or push emails...

So yes, I suggest root for disabling services... SGSII sleep mode does good job either way...
[Galaxy S II General] yoann_anonymous:
Hello,

This is what I've done to get a better battery life :

Get VillainRom 2.0 (you need to root your mobile for that), it really increase the battery life, and this is in my opinion the best thing to do.

Underclock your phone with setcpu.

Of course you should set your phone with basic parameters, like no GPS, no Sync, low brightness.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] linkandzelda:
Well i know on the Desire Z (my old phone) I under clocked to 384 MHz and i got like 4 days battery life. I wasn't doing much intensive stuff on the device during that time but it was an improvement. As for the S2 I was able to get 1 day 4 hours and it was down to 5% with medium/light usage.

I was looking at MIUI youtube video and it looks pretty sweet, although the thread states some things still need to be done. Are their some ROMs which are 100% working order and bring some good benefits/hacks/tweaks?

What about the leak of the 2.3.4 update, i wonder how that is..
[Galaxy S II General] jj03:
i used set cpu on my galaxy s to set cpu to 800mhz...made quite a big difference to the battery life...will.consider using it again on my gs2.
[Galaxy S II General] jwonga:
I think you should root and either flash a ROM which is known for good battery life, or at least use Titanium Back up (requires root) to remove/freeze(paid only) bloatware. There is a list of safe apps to remove stickied.

Mine is Rooted

I rooted my phone the first day I got it because I want to use Titanium Backup to freeze wi-fi sharing apps to save battery. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] kbiz90:
Just root it. If you're here, you're considering rooting your phone. Add custom ROMs and root-only apps and try everything out. The cooks have done some impressive stuff. If you want to return it, unroot it.
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
My first phone ever that really didn't need a custom rom. The phone just does everything well. I use titanium backup and freeze apps I don't use.
[Galaxy S II General] Ves:
Doing the same here. Don't think I'll go with a custom ROM, but I damn sure want to be able to freeze some (stock) apps
[Galaxy S II General] THUDUK:
Probably a silly question but how do you root?

Must admit am very happy with the device and when you think what it's doing no wonder the battery depletes, but it's not that bad, can I read more about this rooting?
[Galaxy S II General] linkandzelda:
Ah that's a good point. I can root and don't have to use a custom rom but can if I felt like it. That's pretty good I think i'll do that :)

And what is this "freezing" apps?

[Galaxy S II General] kingofthebraves:
Yes you really have to root in order to get rid of the wifi sharing battery drain problem of the SGS2 which will eat away as much as 20 percent battery per day. With root you can also use apps like chainfire, ad free and titanium backup

I never needed a A2SD script on CM7, because I could move any app to the SD out of the box.
[Wildfire General] luxandroid:
I did try, phone bootlooping afther applying the script (a2sd chashesd), needed nand restore
[Wildfire General] bx19:
Are you asking how to use dt apps2sd on cm7. If yes,

First partition the sdcard to 3 partitions (ext , swap, fat). Ext will be for applications and its value depends on your usage. Swap can be 0 mb, 32 mb, or any little value. And the remaining will be fat.

Then install cm7. Then install the dt apps2sd script from recovery. That's all. And while restarting the phone, it may reboot couple of times which is normal and during which the installed apps will be transferred to SD-ext. And when memory card is removed from phone , a reboot may occur and u can see a clean cm7 rom then since almost all apps will be present on the memory card Ext partition. Ok that's about process.

And if you face any issues like bootlooping or any other issues, it must be with partitioning related. Sometimes partitioning with recovery gives successful apps2sd. And sometimes it won't. In any case you can use "gparted live cd" to partition sdcard. Be careful in messing up with your computer partitions when using gparted.

Good luck....
[Wildfire General] MarkPower:
I tryd it to got it installed, checked the terminal got lots of errors. My phone became unstable so i reflashed the rom and deleted the patition.

I wish there is a full newbie guide to install this WITH screenshots.
[Wildfire General] bx19:
I think the hardest part of this is creating the partitions correctly. If once it is created everything will be fine.

I too had the bootlooping issues while trying it for first time. At first I thought it was due to newer beta dt apps2sd script. But when I used gparted to create partitions, it worked fine for me even with newer beta. Ofcourse I had few unsuccessful attempts with gparted too in creating partitions.

Edit: forgot to say that I used dt apps2sd with cm7 nightly #115.
