That's what I figured, if the stock recovery isn't working, you can try this: unlock and install a CWM recovery. While in recovery, use "flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk0p10 stock_recovery.img" from adb, then run the update from CWM.

Cheers!

Thinking my phone is going to die.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xateeq:
Dont worry it wont die, but after going back to stock 2.2.2 ull fell much better battery life after 2-4 days of usage.

Dont expect gr8 battery life from first boot :P

and if ur trying to update OTA for Bell GB then let me know how it goes cos for me its dead end (i didnt even modified any fiel)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jrochet:
I just don't think I can get to 2.2.2 again. I can't successfully update with the zip due to the error status 7 message.

Maybe I should go to GobStopper 2.3.4 just to try that.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Wrong CWM recovery.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jrochet:
I'm using the latest Tenfar's CWM updated June 30. Should I be using the April version instead? If using anothe recovery will work I definitely would like to give it a try.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
That is odd then, if you are using the unlocked one. I haven't run across that myself. You can try the 2.3.4 Gobstopper I just uploaded and see if that works better.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daymz:
This didn't work for me either.

I tried all these with two CWM:

- tenfar's 0630-1029

- romracer

Romracer's fails with a status 7 on app.img

Tenfar's fails with a status 0 on osh.img

As a background information, I performed the Bell OTA 2.3.4 update yesterday (from 2.2.2) and for me too, it failed with the caution and bot graphic. I didn't know how to get info/diag about the caution though.

I suspect my OTA update failed becuase I had forgotten to apply the RAM fix following my BL unlock.

I know it really failed because I ended up with a partially updated system, eg:

System Version:	45.2.17.MB860.BellMobility.en.CA

Android Version:	2.3.4

Baseband Version:	N_01.77.15P

WebTop Version:	OSHWT_U1_5.32.13

Kernel Version:	2.6.32.9 kxgn64@zch68lnxdroid40 #2

Build Number:	4.5.2A-51_OLL-17

At least the webtop portion hasn't been updated (still the webtop reviison from 2.2). It kinda makes sense the update of webtop failed since it's the biggest package and the non-fixed RAM may have prevented it from unpacking.

Anyhow. I'm stuck big time now. Any suggestions ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jrochet:
Your 2.3.4 worked like a charm.

I started off erasing all of the partitions like you recommended originally

Then flashed again the Tenfar CWM from June 30

Then updated by selecting the zip from my SD and it was perfect first try.

Thank you very much! Bell was not going to be helping me out whatsoever without the monthly extra warranty package that I don't have.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daymz:
Can you check the system information and report versions ?

I also erased all flash (as per 2.2.2 gobstopper thread) but my system info shows the following:

System: 45.2.17 (OK)

Android: 2.3.4 (OK)

Baseband: N_01.77.33P

Webtop: Unavailable (WTF!)

Kernel: 2.6.32.9-0002-gd5bf03a wmb050@zbr05lnxdroid10 #2

Build: 4.5.2A-51_OLL-17

I did not get any kind of errors during the zip install though (using tenfar 0630)

My bootloader is locked again but I can unlock it with pudding.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jrochet:
My system info is identical to yours. I don't know about the webtop and I don't plug into a TV or the webtop thing so it doesn't affect me. I'm just happy that I got the update that was supposed to have come legit-ly from Bell but almost bricked my phone and cost me money since I don't pay a fortune for super warranty.

2.3.4 seems to be quite nice.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] eggs2000:
edited: nvm.

worked like a charm, thanks man.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
My fault about the webtop, bad filesystem. I had all the partition dumps on the phone and had to pull the battery because of the recovery issue. Then I grabbed them from the phone.

I am uploading a new zip now. I also have a start on a deodexed zip, the deodexed files are done, looking around for tweaks to add in, that make sense with GB.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xateeq:
Waiting :-)

Edit: Waiting is over :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
2.3.4 is updated with the fixed webtop. :)

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xateeq:
Ok ppl i feel ur pain once again,

After going back from 2.3.4 Gobstopper to 2.2.2 gobstopper i was again faced with the problem or ERROR 0 Aborted ****.

What i did to solve this problem was to just flash any recovery and flash the unlocked 2.2.2 zip file (from the first post by NFHimself) and this will fix most of the problems for u and then reboot the recovery and try flashing gobstopper again.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Hi,

Keep the bug reports coming, I can't fix what I am not aware of. :)

Anyone with status 0 errors and knows how to use adb, grab recovery.log and paste it here (within

...

to avoid a lot of scrolling). Same applies to the 2.3.4 thread.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lbloo:
Please excuse the newbie question. I just want to seek some advise before I shoot myself in the foot. :)

I was running a stock Bell Atrix and received the OTA 2.3.4 upgrade, I then rooted, unlocked the boot loader and installed CM7. I now want to go back to the stock 2.3.4.

Is it safe for me to apply this Stock 2.2.2 for Bell firmware and then reapply the OTA upgrade from Bell?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jrochet:
I would just put on the GobStopper 2.3.4. It's the same as the Bell OTA only better because it's not a mandatory gift from Bell.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Hi,

I have updated the OP with a zip similar to the GB 2.3.4 one to avoid reliance on Tenfar's unlocked recovery.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] 1username4thisforum:
Hi,

I just put this 2.2.2 on my phone before bringing it back to Bell to send in for warranty.

No longer showed Unlocked on booting up. So that is perfect.

The top part of the screen was not recognizing input.

Any idea what I might get back?

And if my phone comes back with a new screen or whatever can I still unlock and root without bricking my phone?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
I got back a new phone, your experience may vary.

Shouldn't brick but you never know.

The touch screen issue sounds like a pds problem. Stay away from sbfs in the future. Aside from ihop.

Cheer!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LLZuB:
Hi,

I bought a atrix off someone and they had rooted it and done something. i belive they tried to put it back to stock but didn't succeed because the bell OTA for 2.3.4 does not work for me and hangs at one part and says something is wrong with one of the files. I tried to clear the cache and do a restore but it didnt work

If i flash this recovery will it work for me? i dont believe the phone is unlocked anymore

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jrochet:
If its unlocked it would say "unlocked" at the dual core first bootip screen. To unlock it you need to flash the ihop sbf file using rsdlite, instructions are in the development thread in the ihop sticky. Then need to root before you can flash the recovery that will let you install this rom's zip from your sdcard. If you can't boot you might need to mount your sdcard to USB from within the recovery unless you have a card reader you can plug into your computer.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LLZuB:
Perfect,

Ill give it a shot tonight, I really want to update

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mypcool:
Ok I have done a TON of research but I cant get a straight answer maybe someone can help.

I had an Bell Atrix 2.2.2 stock which I rooted and unlocked using the IHOP from

[PUDDING] International House of Pudding! BL Unlock/root thread (Updated 07/23/2011) - xda-developers

i flashed a few roms the last one being redpill hybrid which is running 2.3.7

My digitizer broke so i flashed back to 2.2.2 using gobbstopper from

[MOD][CWM][Bell][Gobstopper] Stock 2.2.2 for Bell Updated 10/01/2011 - xda-developers

and when i got my phone back from bell they did me the "favor" of upgrading me to 2.3.4

so here (I think) it says I cant unlock at all

[PUDDING] International House of Pudding! BL Unlock/root thread (Updated 07/23/2011) - xda-developers

Here it says ican unlock by flashing the unlocked bootloader ...

[HOWTO]UNLOCK BOOTLOADER 2.3.4 Atrix 4G Bell/int'l and ATT - xda-developers

here it says i only need to flash the unlock oem....

How To: Unlock the Atrix 4G Bootloader - BriefMobile

see my problem can someone please tell me clearly what to do, Im so confused!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kjdoug:
question

if i use this can i upgrade to the latest OS over the air again when it becomes available?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
You would have more luck with the 2.3.6 GobStopper, possibly save having to flash all the intermediate updates.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kjdoug:
OK thanks alot!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tatperson:
So after downgrading to this, do I need to "re-unlock" my bootloader via the fastboot way or do I just flash the unlocked bootloader fix zip via CWM?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zefir738:
any chance this could be done for the AT&T Atrix? i've always wanted to check out Froyo..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Yes, I don't have an ATT Atrix so I wouldn't be able to test if it works, principle should be similar.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
You can do it however you want, the default is to restore the stock bootloader, if you flash the unlocked bootloader before rebooting then you don't have to use fastboot.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zefir738:
i am available to test, as long as there's a surefire way for me to fix bricks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tatperson:
Flashed this today to get a feel of Froyo. CWM showed an error, but phone booted into Froyo just right. Bootloader still unlocked :D

But I can't seem to use 3G/data now :( All it shows is a blank APN page.. is this a radio problem?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
You would have to add an apn for your provider, same thing Bell folks have to do when using ATT firmware.

Cheers!

Are the virtuous ROMs dead ? should we switch to Taboonay ?

EDIT:

1. ALL the 4 virtuous ROMs are stuck at their versions for the past few days since 19th July

2. http://www.virtuousrom.com/ update from 22nd July states that UNITY project is on hold.

EDIT 2: People are saying "this thread should not clutter Dev threads".... well, please read the bolded part above. Asking Qs in generic area about Dev status of ROMs would be inappropriate.

EDIT 3: I think too many folks took this negatively. Changed topic from "[Q] Are the virtuous ROMs dead ? should we switch to Taboonay ?" to "[Q] What is the status of virtuous ROMs ? UNITY kernel ?". Hope that clarifies that this thread is not to denigrate any developer.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
There will be a new Super ROM out any day, call the "SuperHootchieCoochie ROM". Wait for it, cuz when it hits, it's gonna make ALL other ROMS obsolete! :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
lol guess you are one of the spoilt ones as no updates for a few days everyone panics. they are not dead but i do think if there are no major updates from the sources then nothing more to add i am afraid. what i would like to see is kernel updates for the actual virtuous roms available. its not secret i love virtuous galaxy but thats stuck on unity v7 while some have v8/9 etc. mdj has said that galaxy will be updated when updated firmware is released. i am not a flashaholic like some as once i have a stable offering i am happy however i do like to have the latest available. i am currently trying out thor galaxy v1 to see what that offers as its a fusion of galaxy and asus goodness. i have stayed away from official acer 3.1 mods ad acer driers are not the best. saying that virtuous picasso 1.10 was electric
[Acer Iconia A500] MJ-12:
Whats this? Do tell...
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
If you don't know about SHC rom then you're not worth it. :)

On a serious note... There is no need to flash every single day. If the rom is bugfree and/or there are no new sources then there's no reason to update it.

So chill back and wait for SuperHootchieCoochie ROM. :D
[Acer Iconia A500] Pittek:
Do us a favor and ask such questions in the general area, keep this clean for development ...
[Acer Iconia A500] CarpeNoctem:
+1 not only a rom oesnot need to be updated every day but cooks also have a life

Finally definitively not the good place to ask the question...
[Acer Iconia A500] MJ-12:
Not sure about that. A bit of a grey area This is asking about development of a specific rom. Surely its only the devs in the dev section who will be able to answer this. Its not a tip for users, a theme or an app question he is asking. Chill abit with the 'this is not for this section'.

Anyway when are we getting GT 3.2 :) :) :)
[Acer Iconia A500] CheopsChefren:
I tend to agree with the topic starter. Although I know the developer does a great job, having 4 or 5 different roms to support, makes things confusing, not only for the developer, but also for his followers.

They wonder, what rom should i take, why he switches from Acer to Asus to Galaxy to Xoom and then hops from one rom to another. It makes me think the developer also doesnt know what he wants. Shall i use the asus core or perhaps the acer core, and if that choice is made, he hops back to another core.....

Also, if developing that many different ROM's, what you end up with is a less polished result as when you stick to one dev. direction, which is - in my eyes all to clear as m-deejay's roms still have problems with random power off, wifi problems, and some more, while i do know roms with other kernels, which dont have those problems.

So instead of showing us how many different developments the developer can keep up with for 30-40%, i think he should stick to 1 or 2, and make those 2 100%, or as close as possible to a 100%.

Just my 2 cents......
[Acer Iconia A500] mdeejay:
virtuous alive. moderators please close this thread :)
[Acer Iconia A500] CheopsChefren:
How alive is virtual picasso?

I believe Virtuous hoochiecoochie can be alive, but applies the same to the other treads, i really doubt that, as still the wifi problems, the random power offs, random screen-freezes are still as bad (or good, depending on how much you mind) as several versions before.......
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Virtuous roms are very unstable, id move on if I were you.

MOD: Please dont close this thread.

[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
As far as virtuous galaxy goes random reboots are a thing of the past since unity v2. From v3 onwards the kernels have been good. However unity v7 in VG 1.0.5 seems to have reverted back to old ways instead of going fwd. Its a shame thor wont release his kernel sources as this would greatly enhance the custom roms we have on here. I do agree that having so many ports can tend to confuse but from my hd2 days mdj works that way!
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
And 1 for closing this thread as this cant be constructive. Where would this acer forum be without devs like mdj? We have more choice than most of the other tablet owners on here. We have the chefs enhancing the stock option and we have mdj providing us with flavours from deifferent devices. That cant be bad can it? If the virtuous roms are too buggy then we all have the choice to stay clear. However there are many that prefer the custom options and can live with the bugs. We have choice in here not just from stock optimisations but custom mods from various devices. Thats must be a good. What we dont want is people starting to get on the chef and he leaves xda like most of the exp chefs all over xda are doing!
[Acer Iconia A500] woffu22:
Close This thread!

For example galaxy is more or less perfect, 3 small issues to fix, but what else should be updatet. So not much to do for mdj.

And no need to flash a new rom every day, I think. Don't change a running system.

another 1 for closing

Case in point:

I bought both the Iconia and Transformer and had a tough time deciding which to open and keep. What made me choose the Iconia was the dev support in comparison. Lets realize without dev support our tabs, phones, etc. Wouldn't be functional or as fun!

If the dev of the rom says he's still developing, then case closed.

[Acer Iconia A500] he_stheone64:
I already tested Super Hoochie Choochie ROM and it´s nice, but nothing compared to "ELEPHANT`S NOODLE ROM".

Features:

Touch it soft and you have a 4" smartphone

Touch it a bit harder and you have a mid sized 7" tablet

Touch it real hard and you have a full sized 10.1" tablet

Touch it like Hulk Hogan and you have a great 50" TV :D

Serious @Unity Team - I really understand that you are disappointed, I had similar issues with my Themes, but the community reaction was way different. So don`t listen to these kids and keep up the good work.

@ Iconia Forum - the uproar was more about the DHD Unity project, nothing to do with Iconia.
[Acer Iconia A500] CheopsChefren:
I am sorry to see that this topic has turned in a seemingly funny topic, even though i dont see the fun of the "jokes" made here.

As for me it is clear that M-Deejay leaves the guys/girls who like the Virtuous Picasso Rom in the cold.

And then he can be a great ROM-cooker, if you go to a restaurant, and the cook there stops halfway with your dish, you wouldnt be to happy either.....

Again, concentrate on 1 or 2 ROM's, keep developing them, make them as good as possible... By now everybody knows you are a developer who starts off well, but has a hard time concentrating on 1 thing.

And, if developers/cooks run away from XDA-Developers because they cant stand criticism, and more often then not, positive criticism, then start to think why you started cooking roms.... Not for yourself, but for the people you hope would praise you into heaven..... So, give them a reason to praise you into heaven....
[Acer Iconia A500] Ozz465:
I have been lurking here for a while now but this post has made me register just to respond. Your analogy is flawed since a cook is payed to make food for his customers , last time i checked a dev isn't compensated by you .the dev is is free to do as many projects as he/she pleases and take as long to release updates .

How is criticism positive?? the way i see it i wont criticize a dev is since i am being given something for free, if i dont like the frequency of updates or quality of work i am free to find a better alternative or build one myself.Btw how would anyone know why a dev started to do there work in the 1st place? parase u in heaven>?? weird.

sorry for the long winded post guys.
[Acer Iconia A500] CheopsChefren:
I think my analogy isnt flawed... I agree a dev doesnt get paid, but why would a dev post his brewery here? To get a feather in his a.. i guess, or because he hopes people to enjoy what he is doing, so also a dev here hopes for a "gold medal".

So, every dev wants recognition of his work, why else share it with the world (xda-developers in this case)? And therefor he has a certain responsibility to his art-work for his followers, because his followers follow him in the hope he delivers something great... And if in the end he doesnt, his followers, like once i used to be, leave him for another, who does listen and continue developing what got started.

And if development stops, take the courage, and decency to tell people u stop developing a certain strain....

But even so, it doesnt make my point less valid, why start developing a new and another new and then another new rom, while the previous ones arent flawless yet... Every new rom means less posibilities for already excisiting roms to be developed more to perfection.

And you saying criticism cant be positive.... i am sure its more positive then flattery... which just makes people rest on their laurels.....

And, i am jealous of M-Deejays capabilities, I dont have 1% of his rom-cooking capabilities, I - and i guess many with me - depend on his capabilities if we want something more then standard android on our beloved tablets... And therefor i think he has - sort of -responsibilities to his followers.....
