learning curve

I am new to android, i come from iphone jailbreak land. Sorry, I am late to the party but I can't understand one piece of the puzzle so i can manage this myself. I am on att, 2.2.2, baseband N_01.7715p, 4.1.83, Rooted with ginger blur 4.5.

Why dont i want to update my baseband with the OTA? I have read much about downgrading with RSD and so on, but because i am arriving at halftime, no one really explains why anymore. Just need a little help with the learning curve, Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] INSM Sin:
if you update ota you wont be able to downgrade without bricking your device
[Atrix 4G General] INSM Sin:
i followed the guide you linked me to and i ended up in a reboot loop... any tips?
[Atrix 4G General] sllewis:
Battery life is better. Just slightly. The reconfigured task manager help limit background apps to preserve battery life. Frito didn't do that. The Atrix has the largest smartphone battery so far and this helps.
[Atrix 4G General] INSM Sin:
thanks. how did you update to official 2.3.4? What were you on before you updated? 2.3.4 HKTW? 1.8.3? OTA?
[Atrix 4G General] mpalatsi:
I don't know if you've resolved this issue yet but there is a warning stating you need to be unlocked. Were you?
[Atrix 4G General] INSM Sin:
yes sir i was unlocked
[Atrix 4G General] mpalatsi:
Are you sure you're in a bootloop or will it let you access RSD or fastboot?

Try holding Power + Volume (down/up) upon booting and tell me what you get. We'll work from there.

BTW, Was your battery full?
[Atrix 4G General] INSM Sin:
yes i can still get into RSD and fastboot. I've been putting it back into RSD all day and reflashing, trying different methods. and it was full when i started...
[Atrix 4G General] mpalatsi:
Alright, I know you said you're already unlocked but go ahead and do it again in fastboot. Then flash this in RSD Lite: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1182526

Sorry you're having so many problems but this protocol should work.
[Atrix 4G General] INSM Sin:
ok thanks ill try this and report back with results
[Atrix 4G General] INSM Sin:
alright i have finished and im stuck with the same results... when i tried unlocking my bootloader again it said it was already unlocked and i downloaded the SBF again and it still didnt work :/
[Atrix 4G General] mpalatsi:
lol, this doesn't make any sense... go ahead and try stock 2.3.4. : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125944

You've already burned the fuse, so there's no harm done if it doesn't work.
[Atrix 4G General] INSM Sin:
please elaborate how ive burned my fuse? i thought you only burnt it if you went onto stock 2.3.4? but ive only been on leaked HKTW 2.3.4 and cherryblur? unless cherryblur is based off the official stock 2.3.4?
[Atrix 4G General] mpalatsi:
Oh nvm, you haven't burnt your fuse... disregard my last post.

Honestly, you're doing everything right. Which makes me believe you may have a corrupted SBF. Why don't you try re-downloading the SBF and flashing again.
[Atrix 4G General] INSM Sin:
ok. if that doesnt work what do you think about downgrading to 1.8.3, unlocking bootloader, then flashing the SBF that you recommended in the very beginning?
[Atrix 4G General] mpalatsi:
Sure, that should work... and you can do that while you're waiting for the SBF to download if you have all the files. ;)
[Atrix 4G General] INSM Sin:
i fixed the bootloop problem with fastboot -w :D now i just need to find out if this means that the sbf actually worked or not. Thanks for all your help you've been great! :D i owe you
[Atrix 4G General] mpalatsi:
No problem, I'm glad all is well.
[Atrix 4G General] evil_d:
Why would one want to downgrade the baseband? What exactly would I be missing out on?,
[Atrix 4G General] evil_d:
I think.I found a thread to guide me in, thanks.
[Atrix 4G General] INSM Sin:
i wanted to downgrade because the 2.3.4 SBF wouldnt fix my bootloop so i figured id try something different.
[Atrix 4G General] sllewis:
I was in froyo 2.2 before updating.

HTC Rep: Thunderbolt Android 2.3 Update Pulled Back, No Estimated Time Frame for Relaunch

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/07/2...e-pulled-back-no-estimated-time-for-relaunch/

Sounds like a another load of BS

Devs have working versions of GB with sense 3.0 and sense 2.1 or a hybrid of both working flawlessly

with sudden price drops as low as 50.00 for new customers i think we may be seeing an early death of TB and TB 2 no to far off

From what i have read the reboot issue is pretty much a dead issue since mr2 now that a possible mr3 radio leak is out and also an mr3 gb leak both of which work great onl known issue no voice mail notification.

I see alot of POed TB owners nor getting what was advertised a fully functionig TB with video conferencing capabilites-- what the heck is the front facing camera for with no avaiable software to make it usefull.

this is wht happens when companies become arrogant and think they can do wat ever thay want and do this becuase they are never really called on it i sayb now is the time to calling VZ and VZ corperate lets welcomethe New CEO with our displeasure of the TB almost 4 months after relaese still not what was advertised....
[Thunderbolt General] Mustang302LX:
I believe VzW said 4 LTE devices this year. 3 of those are already available with the 4th coming soon with the Bionic. The TB isn't dead yet so relax and don't worry about it. Besides, HTC/VzW not supporting the TBolt or any other phone has never stopped devices from receiving updates thanks to devs!
[Thunderbolt General] ghamden:
I agree thats why i rooted first day usinf gingeritis 3d v5 works superb still no vm notification.
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
i just hope they can put out a better radio.

Hi,

Since cognition 1.12 (through 1.13 to 1.20) I see a weird bug in the app drawer of Tw - When I have only one page of apps and folders, icons do not appear. If I choose edit from menu I see the icons, and when I move a single icon to another page, causing drawer to have 2 pages - all icons are visible again.

does anyone know how to fix this?

thanks
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
(not sure if this is the correct forum, pretty sure it is though. If not, sorry and please move)

So my Droid 2's power button stopped working a little bit before I got my Thunderbolt, and I ended up giving it to my girlfriend (she had an Eris...)

Anyways, I learned a few tricks along the way so I could root, SBF, and enter recovery without the need for the power button, and I thought I might share the info for people with the same problem who might not know what to do.

I've come to the conclusion that the Droid 2 does not need a power button for it to be fully functional. It is only there for convenience.

1. So your power button doesn't work and you need to turn the screen on? Easiest thing to get around.

Simply slide the keyboard open and the screen comes on.

2. So your power button doesn't work, and your battery has died or has fallen out. How are you supposed to turn the device on without a power button?

All you have to do is plug in the phone to an AC charger, and the phone should come on.

Sometimes, however, it will show the boot logo, then go to a screen showing you your battery percentage, and not actually boot. No problem. Just pull the battery and unplug. Replace the battery, and while holding the "x" button on your keyboard, plug the phone back in (be sure to keep holding the "x" button until a triangle with an exclamation point appears). Your phone will reboot into recovery (if stock recovery, press the magnifying glass). Simply unplug the phone, and choose to reboot, and poof, your phone is on.

3. So you need to SBF, but don't know how to get into the bootloader without the power button?

Simply plug the phone into your computer. Sometimes if the phone is already off, it will automatically boot into the bootloader. However if the phone is already on, just use the ADB command "adb reboot bootloader"

If your not good with ADB, simply pull your battery, replace it, and while holding the "up arrow" on your keyboard, plug the phone in and it will reboot into the bootloader.

4. So you've done the SBF, but now you need to wipe data/cache to stop a bootloop?

Like before, simply plug the phone in while holding the "X" button on your keyboard and you will boot into stock recovery.

So there you have it. A way around everything the power button is needed for. I'm sure a lot of you already knew this information, but hopefully this will help some that might not already know.

Last night I was trying to fix my girlfriends phone, and forgot how to boot into recovery without the power button, and felt very hopeless. That was the inspiration to write this little guide.
[Droid 2 General] cocoa_nutt:
I get as far as the triangle with an exclamation point appearing, but then nothing else happens. PLEASE HELP!!!!
[Droid 2 General] xm0067:
You need to hit both the volume keys at the same time to get into recovery.

Sent from my ApeX-ed, Overclocked, and Automated Droid 2.
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
You do not need to hit both volume keys. Only need to plug in and hold "x".

After you see the triangle you need to hit the magnifying glass button on the keyboard to bring up the menu.

[Droid 2 General] chrstdvd:
Irony of Irony, a day after I got on this post, my cat knocked my phone off the computer table and guess what? My power button is broken. I turn my phone on now with the Volume Up key and the Screeble app turns the screen off after I lay the phone on a flat surface. I refresh the phone from time to time with a cont alt del sequence to reboot the thing.

I am not going to bother with a replacement, as I have ins, because I do not want to start all over with a new phone and I am due for a upgrade now anyway. I just can not decide what phone I want to replace it with. I tend to lean to the D3 because of the keyboard but I want to look at the IP 5 this week too.
[Droid 2 General] kwheel596:
If you're on the Gingerbread OTA you need to hit both volume keys. Otherwise the magifying glass button works fine.

Where do you get 3d movies from for the evo 3d? I tried to download a movie and it wasn't in 3d. I think it was the type of movie that requires glasses.
[HTC EVO 3D] gmfeny:
Google 3d and maybe Google torrents after 3d lol. Look for sbs 3d or side by side 3d that's what our phones use.
[HTC EVO 3D] poopoo152010:
Go to droidappz.com. There is a 3D movie download section there. Most of the current 3d movies are listed as well as some 2D that were converted to 3D, but those dont seem to turn out well.
[HTC EVO 3D] clutch_08:
You need to click on the menu button then press 3d while you are in the video. Then you will see it in 3d
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
There is also a pre-loaded app on the phone called "Watch" and if you click the little shopping basket icon in the lower right corner of the app you can buy 3D movies there.

There are also programs that can rip 3D content from your legally purchased and owned blueray disks that have 3D on them. Or, if you don't mind the time, you can buy DVDFab which does a fairly decent job of converting 2D movies to 3D. Not as good as a real 3D movie, but it does a decent job of guesstimating depth and stuff. I've converted some TV shows and have liked the results.

So there are a few options for you that don't involve illegal activity.

Ok I have the LG-P999dwp version, and was in unable to do the update through the lg updater. Was told that i have latest version. I am also running win7 ultimate and the KDZ program would always crash, so i found a work around.

I downloaded the LG kdz program and the V21_00.Kdz file You can get them from here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179750 here are pics to help you do this on a windows 7 ultimate and should work for any version of win 7.

The pictures show you what to do.

1: open the KDZ program ( follow the instructions in the read me )

then keep the cdma and DIAG alone and choose the browse and click on the V21E_00.KDZ file.

Sorry if this has been posted but i searched and could not find anything on how to do this. I was working out a few ways to do this on win 7 without installing win xp :)

2:Click on read phone information at the bottom of the program.

3:Click on Upgrade Start

4:Change country to different country and change Language to english

5:click ok and this opens up the LG updater and will push the update of GB to your phone on windows 7 machine and for phone with LG-P999dwp model # (aka refurb)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] drmclove69:
thank you soo much! ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wm2485:
Works!!! Just follow the steps exactly. My wife has a p999dwp and I have a p999dw. Ive been trying to get Gingerbread on hers for two days now (the official way). I can now find one complaint about the update, I love it. I haven't used Bluetooth yet though. Thanks so much.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] swuln:
Thanks... Worked perfectly....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] swuln:
Just in case anyone wants to know .... I put my phone back to stock and unrooted before I did the update process.... Everything went smooth, update process took about 10 minutes.. Thanks again Bullseye....

I can't get into S/W Update mode now to flash ClockworkMod ???

EDIT: Never mind...had to try it a bunch of times (volume down and plugging in) before it worked
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
see my only problem is everytime i try to install the lg updater tool it stops quarter of the way and doesnt move, i have a windows 7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
how did u guys get the update tool to install, i run it as administrator and it starts but then stalls quarter of the way? and it told me i had to install the tool , but then i just tryed launching the update and it started the process, of course i didnt try with the phone plugged in, what do u guys think
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
It doesn't even want to read my phone info....it gives me Get Chiptype Error. Tried with Debug mode too-still nothing. It keeps freezing on me....I am running Win7 Ultimate 64bit.

Anyone else having the same issues. I have all the drivers installed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sincest:
you have to be in stock 2.2 froyo doesnt matter if youre rooted or not, and stock recovery, and run the tool while booted into froyo with usb debugging on .. and i dont know but i had my sd card mounted

and by the way if this worked for you THANK the freaking OP because he figured it out and you couldnt he's awesome, love you man xD
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
I am running stock Froyo and I am not rooted. I have stock recovery as well. I keep getting the same error...it starts reading my phone info and then Bam! Get Chiptype Error!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
yes sir , for sure so sincest your talking about the lg update tool ur telling me i have to install it with the phone actually plugged in?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sincest:
doesnt really matter, i had it unplugged till the window like the screenshot came up, try reinstalling the 3.x.x drivers from LG theres a thread somewhere and then plug your device in a different usb porn and wait for it all to install
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
It doesn't work for me guys. Tried reading the phone info as advised-it can't complete the operation. I get the stupid error and nothing happens. Don't know how to go around that error. Tried running the R&D tool in compatabilty mode and still got the same error.

Anyone else having the same issue?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
Do you guys click on read phone info button on the second screen as well? That's where I am getting the Chiptype Error. Have you guys tried that? I am afraid if the tool doesn't read the phone info it won't be able to update it properly and I may brick my device. Any advises?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
dude i cannot get B2Cappsetup to run! sucks it just stops quarter of the way
[T-Mobile LG G2x] swuln:
Did you install the msi file in the kdz folder... And I only clicked read phone info at the beginning ..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Wildchld:
try skipping the read info and just click start upgrade.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
Does it give some kind of an error? What kind of windows are you running?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] swuln:
Try rebooting your PC and reinstalling it... Only thing I did was downloaded the LG updater the other day and reinstalled it ... after it installed I connected my phone and it installed some drivers...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
yea im done with it bro i tried lol thanx for the help tho ,...lg and there stupid tools
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
what is windows 7 vista?

have you uninstalled all lg stuff then reboot, then install these drivers http://www.lg.com/us/support/mc-support/drivers/LG_T-Mobile_Android_USB_Driver_v2.2.zip ? and not install the lgupdate tool, but try using just the kdz flasher and kdz file? some people got it working on win7, but alot of people including myself had to do it from xp.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
i have the kdz flasher ready to roll and the v21e file loaded up , so i dont need the B2Cappsetup tool? and my computer is a piece it is an emachine windows vista basic then i upgraded to 7, dont wanna do it on my laptop i heard sometimes that updater tool can be corrupt
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
here's what i did and it worked. i installed xp 32 bit on a spare partition i had. i then installed my network drivers. then installed http://www.lg.com/us/support/mc-support/drivers/LG_T-Mobile_Android_USB_Driver_v2.2.zip. then i installed the lg update tool. no luck. i then went to my external hard drive and copied the kdz file and flasher to my desktop. i put the kdz file in the kdz flasher folder. pointed flasher program to the file. i then clicked "read phone information". and even though the next screen was blank, i clicked on "upgrade start". it automatically opened the lgupdate tool and took over 10 minutes but it worked.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
what os is on your laptop? if it's xp, i'd definitely head on over to my laptop. not sure where you heard about this corruption, but there is a free imaging program that can save you from headaches. http://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
thanx so crazythunder can i try it with out that B2Cappsetup tool?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
you can try, but i think the kdz flasher is somehow connected to lgupdate tool as kdz flasher opened it up by itself. but it can't hurt to try. i think your biggest issue is win7. there are so many variables in operating systems. the ones that it worked for on win7 usually worked right away. the ones who had problems ended up using xp for the most part.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bullseye69:
Don't click on read phone info on the second screen. Just click on update start. And no it should not brick your phone I did this to 2 phones and went smoothly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] swuln:
Darning have you tried right clicking on the BC app , properties and running it in vista compatibility mode ... worth a shot...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
ok update: so i went to my sister n laws computer and tryed just the lg updater tool and it worked! it said install the drivers so i did then checked environment then it updated all in about 7 minutes, she has a new hp computer like brand new, so i guess my pos computer didnt wanna install the update tool thats what i was, anyways thanx for the help i appreciate it, oh also kept all my data and apps
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
amen brother. i've been saying all along.....people are saying they tried everything, and they haven't. pc's and phones have too many variables for any one thing to work the same way across the board. glad you got it working.:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
you are definitley rite on thay thanx again
