[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun3vi1:
Yes you can

I am pretty sure that you can unbrick that device because I have bricked mine and used the same method several times.

Buy the phone, and then you will have to find an ATT store with an atrix on display.

Ask the store manager's permission to swap the display battery for your own and let it charge. When it has charged to 100% (MAKE NOTE OF THIS!! VERY IMPORTANT) take the battery home and place it into your own phone.

Now, use one of the following methods to repair your device:

Rsd Lite: Most Difficult, but Safest way

This method of restoration is recommended if you wish to ever root your device in the future because rooting a 2.3.4 device, which is automatically installed by motorola software update, is dangerous and presents the risk of bricking a device PERMANATLY!

To use the RSD Lite (safe method): follow the instructions at the website address below:

briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-system-boot-file-sbf-leaked

That will install a preliminary OS onto the device, but it will be a pre-release version, and so will not automatically receieve updates. To bring you device up to date, then install the 4.1.5.7 update at the website below:

briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-1-5-7-ota-update-sbf

IMPORTANT: If you ever intend to root your device, do not update it via any AT&T downloadable (Over the Air) updates.

Easy Method:

If you do not intend to ever root your phone, or you are looking for an easy way to bring it up to date, perhaps to sell it, you use motorola software update to reinstall the OS. PLEASE NOTE: Once a device is updated to 4.1.5.91 (Gingerbread), it must never be downgraded with the RSD Lite Method mentioned above. You WILL BRICK YOU DEVICE and it will NOT be fixable. If you have any intentions of rooting your device, do not use this method. Use the RSD Lite Method.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NFHimself:
Hi,

I don't want to spoil the party, but I had an Atrix in that state and despite flashing with rsd-lite to a known working sbf, it was still not letting me boot. Beware.

Cheers!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottyC_08:
Well long story short, my USB port is damaged. The little board in there is barely hangin in there and i keep having to bend the pins to get it to charge.

After talkin with a couple verizon stores I only have a couple options:

Verizon provides me a new phone..they send the damaged phone to there warehouse. If determined it was physical damage they will charge me for the phone.

Make an insurance claim..resulting in me paying the $100

Take it to a repair shop and pay around $30-$40 for them to fix it

Repair it myself for free (taking the micro usb from an old storm)

So a couple questions...if I go the repair route (either a shop or me) obviously my HTC warranty will be void, but will that affect the insurance option for a later date and time?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueis300:
I went to verizon and they deemed it warranty and sent mint in.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setexascustoms:
It should not affect the insurance, just like root doesn't affect the insurance. You could smash it with a hammer and the insurance would cover it, in fact it could be lost or stolen in which case you couldn't even return it.:D
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottyC_08:
Excellent, looks like I'll be repairing this in the next couple of days by myself :)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rackfoo:
I have clockwork mod 3.0.2.7 and I don't believe it has EXT4 support. First, what is the difference between ext3 and ext4? Second, why are all of the latest kernels, namely Morfic's Trinity, Ext4 only? Sorry if this is the wrong place for this question. It just seems like people are very helpful here. I tried Google but I the responses were confusing. Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rackfoo:
Geez....nobody?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kdunn1994:
Ext4 is faster, Trinity is true ext4, faux kernel mounts as ext4 for easy switching I guess.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Thats it. EXT4 is faster. I'm sure there are other benefits but it being faster is why you would sought after it.

I don't use it simply because I flash nightlies so often that EXT4 kernels aren't caught up. Sure they should work most of the time on new roms, but with the G2x being so new and so many changes are being made to make it stable, using a custom kernel right now just isn't worth it.

Your best bet is to focus on a custom kernel and use what they use. I would recommend cutting flashing back a little to prevent unneeded hardships with conflicting kernels/nightlies.

Once development slows down from getting the drivers to function properly, I'll give it a shot. I hear the UnderVolted kernels are fantastic for battery.

I just flash so often that it is an additional pain to flash a custom kernel over top every time. Plus I use Rom Manager which makes flashing effortlessly easy. For me to use kernels would require me to boot back into Recovery manually and flash the kernel every day.

Maybe one day CM7 will move to EXT4 and I don't have to worry about it.

when i upgrading my PDA2K i've Safely Removed the usb flash memory, then the upgrading [stuck] :(:(:( i tried to reset the device but the screen showing nothing, it looks like it's turned off, :mad:

any idea to back my device to the life

thanks

try to Hard reset the device first with the press and hold the power button the camera recorded the same time and then reset, if steps are not helpful try to take the battery + SIM Card from the device and wait a few minutes then replace the battery, insert it into bootloader mode and try to reflash

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkonex:
Anybody else have an issue with or notice your apps updating multiple times from the Android Market? By this I mean for example back on 7/7 I believe it was I picked up an update for Pulse News, I watched it install and everything. Then today it shows me a new update for Pulse again, I update it, check the details, and it's the same new version from 7/7. I have had this happen alot,a nd it's not the other issue where sometimes you choose to install an app and it says "waiting to download" or whatever and never this starts the download, I actually see it dl and install then days later it seems to pick up the same update. Today this also happened with Folder Browser HD and I'm pretty sure this is like the 3rd time it picked up that update from like 7/7.

The speeds I get are bad enough. Throttling can't possibly have any negative effects on me.

[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
They're throttling Virgin Mobile, not Sprint. They have plans to throttle Virgin Mobile. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2388441,00.asp

Nothing to do with us.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scotty_Two:
This.

Data speeds are ****ty right now with all the traffic. In theory, this could increase speeds to certain people in certain areas if the other people in those areas lighten up on their data load.
[HTC EVO 3D] Puinsai:
This is good to hear! The headline scared me for a second. I'm already getting 5kb down and 3 kb up. I don't need to be throttled.
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
LMFAO......
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
yet.........
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
With the speeds that are claimed possible via our 3G technology their throttle threshold would have to be at a fixed point that seems reasonable to the average joe given our theoretically possible speeds...Throttling at 50% of the technology's advertised possible speed just doesn't look good to anyone. Something tells me that would be far above what any of us get in practice and as previously mentioned may actually help out in congested areas...

...for now.

Hey Sprint! Why not build out some ****ing infrastructure first and worry about this crap afterwards. You can't throttle people who can't even approach the threshold. I mean, ****, what I consider 'decent speed' is a goddamned joke...
[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
Good luck using 2.5 GB in some areas where Sprint 3G is being rivaled by local dial-up providers.
[HTC EVO 3D] Alanmw86:
they just launched a commercial touting how they don't throttle data or cap it so...

derp?
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Derp for now. Barring a breakthrough in either the way data is encapsulated or new breakthrough radio technology (which is possible in theory) not matter how much equipment they throw at the problem will not help. We have a finite amount of frequencies to work with and a finite amount of power to work with...and these frequencies are getting more and more crowded every day. Sure, you can throw a ton of towers at the problem but there will be a tipping point where that will hurt more than help. There is only so much amplitude and there are only so many frequencies...especially given the limitations inherent to a mobile technology (size, power, safety).
[HTC EVO 3D] rilo1982:
So far it just seems to be with Sprint's own Virgin Mobile...let's just hope they don't decide to do with their main Sprint line.........:-I
[HTC EVO 3D] 2k4mach:
+1 on that, what are they gonna do throttle me from 56k to 28k oooooooooo doesnt make a difference both speeds are basically worthless.
[HTC EVO 3D] Alanmw86:
If China can handle their population we can handle ours.

its all BS $$$$$$$$$$$$$
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Agreed...everything could be run a lot better here, but, there is a breaking point. How much throughput, how many people, spread how far apart, how much latency?

We aren't even close to the situation I described. Perhaps I didn't throw in qualifiers like "It's like pissing in the wind" or "slippery slope" or other such horse****...as I stated in a previous post we need our wireless industry to invest in their...no...our infrastructure first, but, it's an uphill battle. We can only go so far with current tech...and current tech has the potential (at scale) to push up against the boundries of what we understand of physics.

I am fully confidant that me getting 250kbps downloads on a good day is not the end of the road...likely only the begining...but I also remember a time when upgrading to a 9600 baud modem (9.6kbps=9600bps/8=1.2 kilobytes per second) made me feel like I could download anything in an hour...with a 20mbps line I still have things downloading at +1000k/ps that take days to download....so...this all scales (negatively) as you get older and technology gets better....but not as smoothly as you'd like.

edit: which reminds me. from 150 to 300 to 1200 to 2400 (and oddball 4800) and 9600 modems were measured in "baud"--modulations per second, roughly speaking...then something different happened, up into the final generation of acoustic modems (v.90/v.92 56k standards, k56flex, etc) the modems have obviously gotten much faster but the 'baud' stayed the same. Different encoding and encapsulation protocols evolved....but that left us stuck at 33.6k, and then the (very fascinating at the time) 56k technologies came into play....still at that same 9600 baud..... that is the type of technology we need, some way to encapsulate more data in the same methods/limits.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jjday7:
People worried about being throttled. Ever wonder if you are already being throttled. HUM........this could be why everyone has such crappy data speeds. Another HUM.......
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
...some times I have very impressive speeds, which suggests to me that we do not at all have any throttling at all.

No, if we were all already being throttled down to these ****ty speeds we would at least have more consistent speeds...
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
Throttle??? You mean my speeds aren't throttled :/
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
So pretty much everyone is throttled then? hmmm

I think this is good... the prepaid customers wont take up as much bandwidth.

Also... the speeds are faster, and the cap higher then tmobile, so not to bad.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jjday7:
Exactly. I really think something is up with this. My speeds have sucked since december. Also I just received the newest airave and now I'm getting 2.0mb down. I must be bypassing the throttle or whatever we are calling it.
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
Sprints towers are over loaded. That is not = to throttling. The air rave doesn't use sprints towers so... :rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] AfroCreame:
250kbps would be a speed bump for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
For our less fortunate readers could you please detail exactly what "250kbps" means. The number, each letter and a further explanation of each letter of the abbreviation...because as I'm sure you already know, "kbps" is an abbreviation for a much more understandable collage of concepts that your readers probably know little about and even less about how that relates to their mobile-data experience...

...this could help clear up a lot of misunderstandings. Thanks in advance.

Agreed. I have a plan, if any Sprint reps are listening, take note...though I'm sure there are higher-ups that are wayyyyy ahead of me....if not, well, I'm already in management...contact me....

Sprint needs to stop ****ing around with cell "phone" service. Google needs to stop ****ing around and provide a simple interface to a free (or dirt cheap) SIP server...

...value-add the **** out of that, do what you can to monetize...everything short of interrupting my ****ing call...

...Google and Sprint and pretty obviously already in bed. nPrime on Sprint? It's for sure, guaranteed...the first wireless provider to do so...from my buddies at Sprint I've heard rumblings of a handful of Sprint specific Google branded devices....Google buys Sprint? A common meme...possible? Sure. Advantageous? Sure, for both parties... I think a heavily vested partnership is far more likely, but, in the shadow of all the evil **** going on with ATT and poor lil' T-mobile Sprint (and any significant partners, cough, cough, cough) really need to get their **** together....it's the 21st ****ing century, it's time to show these 20th century old-farts how new-business works.

STOP SELLING VOICE SERVICE. DEPRECATE YOUR 2G AND REPLACE WITH 3G AND 4G. GET SIP SERVERS/gVOICE INTEGRATION OPERATIONAL FOR A QUANTITY OF USERS COMMENSURATE WITH SPRINT'S SUBSCRIBER BASE.....SPRINT BECOMES THE FIRST "21st CENTURY DATA SERVICE"....EVERYONE REALIZES VOICE IS A "DATA"...GET WITH THE ****ING PICTURE.

The "telephone line" analogy is nearly played out...once the baby boomers die off (soon) it is ****ing over.....PAIR-UH-DIME ****ing SHIFT.

In the future: Sprint is a wireless communications provider....what is being communicated is ****ing irrelevant.

In the Sprint's preferred future: Sprint is the FIRST wireless communications provider to realize that "communications" is simply providing an interface to the IP stack that THE ENTIRE ****ING PLANET WILL OPERATE ON UNTIL SOMETHING BETTER COMES ALONG....WILL, not if, WILL. Get on board.....while the rest are tiering and throttling you can be the ************* enablers...ENABLE THIS NEW GENERATION, SPRINT.

We are currently in the "informational age-dark age", seriously, data caps on land lines? Imposed artificial scarcity...lol, remember physical media?

Exactly.

Get on it Sprint...NOW....I know you are reading this, GET. THE. ****. ON. IT. This is your last chance and you know it, once the well-bribed FCC/Congress/FTC allow the ATT+Tmobile merger/takeover you will be left quaking in your boots about Verizon taking you over--and we all know it.

Shift. The. ****ing. Paradigm.
[HTC EVO 3D] DevalB:
Well said...but I will tell you one thing, there is a lot more to Sprint in terms of business than just cell phones. A lot of stuff that Sprint is part of never gets mentioned anywhere, like for example, the cabs in NYC.

BTW, most, if not all, of Sprint's network is their own, built during the 90s nationwide. Before the merger, Sprint was called Sprint PCS, the PCS standing for the nationwide 1900mhz licenses and spectrum holdings they acquired to build out the network from ground up.
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
So you get unlimited data at craptastic speeds. Soon you'll be able to pay for different kinds of speed. I told you Sprint would get their money somehow!!! No way they will sit back and watch other companies charge premiums for data caps and not do something themselves.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Okay then, krotter11, tell me, in my region that I spend the most time in (NE US), how has Sprint built out there network with their "vision" (a word we have heard for the past ten f*cking years on Sprint) that is any different?

I'm vaguely familiar with their new "vision" plan, but, how is that different from their 4G plan that I naively (once again) put stock into 1 year ago?

Tell me how this is different from the same marginalized network attempting a similar underfunded marginalized attempt at pretty much the same thing?

EDIT: Also, I've never seen someone defend a nationwide mega-corp with PR crap before, unless you are astro-turfing for them....in which case I recommend you forward my big long rant ITT to someone who knows something in the corp....have them track me down and give me a good job.....they need these sort of obvious ideas, apparently.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:

I signed up with Sprint for the first time in 1998 ('97? maybe?)...we had txt messaging before it was even useful, nobody else to text.....call quality was facking amazing back then, but I digress....

Sprint is pretty brilliant at investing in what will be big but notsomuch at capitalizing on whatendsupbig. Any of us with half a brain-cell to rub together (or any previous experience with Sprint) knew damn well that Cleawire 4G was crap.....It's not that WiMax is crap, quite the opposite... It is defintely the superior protocol when compared with LTE....but the frequencies involved in Sprint's implementation of WiMax ensured that it would be stillborn....we knew it before we had our first half-assed 4G connection.

....LTE on Sprint's WiMax frequencies sucks too.....But Sprint's WiMax on Verizon's LTE frequencies would be the 'ucking best....We need to really make a distinction between protocol and spectrum around here. LTE sucks WiMax wins.... Sprint's WiMax spectrum BLOWS HARD, Verizon's LTE spectrum is better.
