[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
So check this out. Who's gonna help me get a leg up and start learning the real stuff now that I have the basics down pat. I have been flashing these great themes and Marvelous Roms and just started to get down correlations between bases and ports etc... Although I still don't know in depth about these matters - I have learned if you don't port - you come up short.

I am working on figuring out how to replace my boot animation in the HoneyHD theme, and how to take that and take out the Sense Parts that aren't available in NoSensi, and finally merging that into NoSensi so that instead of flashing four times - or relying on a recovery, I can make an assembled and flashable Rom package that is perfect from the first flash. Guess I should have asked Victoryo (NoSensi OP), but these aren't even really any of my works, and I am sure a Dev has plenty other stuff to take care of. I know that there is so much more to this than I realize, but every step I learn makes that much clearer how the processes from bootloader to splash to boot to Themed Awesomness and Ultimately Rom Superiority actually work and integrate together. I start school in a month, with a declared major in computer programming, and until a few months ago didn't know diddly about Roms, Kernels, Rooting, or even Android for that matter... So where do I start learning? Or rather, what would be the best way to expand on the knowledge I gain here everyday at XDA, and please be mindful that until my school money is in, I am computerless...

Everything is Inspire Acquired, and Edited, Flashed and Composed from.... Thanks to all the kickarse peeps who remember asking themselves "Where in the world do I begin?"

I got another problem... I let my atrix's battery deplete and then charged it. I didn't see the big battery that comes up when the phone is off and charging.. it just sits there with the Motorola symbol and unlocked in the top left until a battery pull. I rooted using preinstall and have an unlocked bootloader. Any solutions?

Sorry if thid has been asked before but I didn't see ikt when I searched around. I had my transformer syncing my bookmarks in the browser and it was working perfectly. I recently factory reset and since it wont sync them. I wiped browser data and tried to reset up sync, even went as far as doing another factory reset, nothing. No bookmarks sync over from my browser.

I believe that the current working theory is that Chrome sync only allows 100 bookmarks per day, which means that you have to be very careful with your testing. This has not been confirmed by Google.

It is probably best if you stick with the other XDA thread for posting moving forward as it has more details/history.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lc3necro:
So I bought my Evo within 5 days of release last year, took very good care of it, treated it like a baby, blah blah blah. This morning while heading to my car for work, my poor evo slipped from my hand and landed like a piece of buttered toast screen side down (literally a straight fall, i was kind of amazed!). I pick it up in a panic, all seems well, brush off some dirt, and head to work. About 1.5 hours into my shift i glance at the phone to check messages, and no screen power. I freak out, yell bunches, and move on with my day. It should be noted right now that during the day i keep hearing messages come through, and I can call the phone and hear it ring.

Fast forward to after work, I take my phone in to Sprint (running CM7 nightly but after reading another post regarding Spring & root I decide to risk it..) and am informed it's $35 to replace the screen. I wait around, and ~90 minutes later they bring out my phone with a shiny new screen. I shell out the $35 and head home. While I didn't really notice, I suppose in hindsight the signal was a bit low, but I was almost 2 hours late getting home from work and i had things to do!

Now, sitting in my basement, I notice that I now have 0 service. Nothing. Nada. I revert to a known working version of CM to ensure the latest nightly wasn't at fault (I had flashed one just before leaving for work in the AM and as such had a very fresh backup). This did not help. I do some internet research, break out the number 5 torx driver, and discover that compared to the numerous images of open Evos I find online, mine is missing a connector between the green board and the actual antenna!

My question here? Tomorrow after work I will be returning to the Sprint store...how would *you* approach this issue? Would you be upfront on the discovery? Play stupid? Like I said, none of the issues occurred before having the phone serviced.

If you look at this picture on ifixit http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/6vuwjaGT1T1ySCZr.huge on the board to the left of the camera is a cluster of 4 clips and above and to the left of that cluster are 2 more clips one above and one more left / diagonally from the cluster. The one on the diagonal is missing from my evo. Granted I don't KNOW for sure this is the 3G antenna...I do know that it's not on my phone and my signal strength suddenly is terrible!

So, have at it, I am interested to hear what anyone may have to say, good bad and funny :)

EDIT - Phone is past the 1 year manufacture warranty and I never purchased any form of insurance through sprint!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
I would be very direct, but polite. They know you were just there to get the screen replaced and obviously they had to take it apart to do so. I would argue that something isn't right with the phone. Yes, you have a new display but is it possible that something was damaged during the repair? You know your device and getting the screen repaired should have little to no effect on reception. Respectfully demand that they go over their work or provide you with a different EVO.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Well I would obviously tell them the truth, and pay the 100 dollar deductible to get a replacement from insurance. If you tell them anything else, that's fraud, and thats why WE all pay more for every phone because people try to scam sprint. You were the one who dropped it, so man up and pay the deductible.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lc3necro:
See my edit, I forgot to put in there, I have never had insurance on the phone and have no intention of taking advantage of anything. In fact it was a trainee that gave me my phone back and told me I could leave and I was all "uh, I have to pay don't I?" and he was all "I don't think so they just told me to give you your phone..." 5min later I'm handing over $35 plus tax :D So yeah, I always do right and simply ask that karma repay the favor :cool:
[HTC Sensation] ssh678:
Get,

I tried to check if ny sensation was s-off it on, but when I tried to go into the bootloader (holding power and volume down) it wouldn't do anything. I held it for like a minute and nothing happened until I let go off one of the buttons and then it turned on. What do I do? I realize that I probably do have s-on but I want to be sure.

Thanks for your help.
[HTC Sensation] mjm128:
This was taken from the stickied thread. Try this if not, i'm not sure.

Pull the battery out before you do it. OR to make things ALOT easier, before turning your sensation off go into settings,power, and uncheck the Fastboot option. Now when you turn the device off, it will fully power down instead of just going into a "sleep" mode. Now do it.
[HTC Sensation] Noktrnl:
what mjm said, check and disable fastboot and try again.
[HTC Sensation] bone$:
restart your phone and when the screen turns off hold the volume down button... should boot into fastboot screen

hope this helps
[HTC Sensation] 2Noob4U:
I'm really trying not to flame you, but this isn't the right place for this. There are riots about threads about S=off.

Pull your battery. Reinstall it. Vol down + Power. If it doesn't work pull the battery and try again.

Hope this helped...

I know you're still fresh to the XDA scene and learning about your new phone, but I wanted to point out that there are different sections for different things. This question should be posted in the Q&A section of the forums located here. The development area of the forums is generally dedicated to advancement of Android development: be it new modifications, ROM creation, or feedback, etc. You'll save yourself a lot of 'trouble' if you post in the correct areas. You'll find most are pretty helpful here when you follow these guidelines. Congratulations on getting your new device; these are exciting times for the Sensation. Welcome to XDA :)

[Atrix 4G Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
This is kennethpenn's stock system.img from BriefMobile. I deodexed the system and framework and rooted it.

This is a stock deodexed app and framework. That is all. Use ./moto-fastboot flash system system.img to install it. I made this so i can keep data as i continue to build from stock up. If something gets borked i just flash the .img and start over will all data and most settings in tact. I am posting it to share for anyone who wants to have a stock deodexed image to base their personal rom off of. Begin with the deodexed system and hack away. if you break something flash the system again and keep all data.

Thanks to ...

[Atrix 4G Android Development] PAulyhoffman:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
No, this is basically stock. you will want to flash Jug6ernaut fix 2 on top of this if you want. or adb push the files

Cold you also create a CWM update zip with this kernel? Would be so much easier to use it. Thanks@! :cool:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
If you want a cwm zip of the system it is basically the same thing as Kennethpenn's beta 4.5. IMO cwm is more of a PITA than fastboot ever will be.

I won't have to because faux123 already did HERE
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xploited:
I have used faux's and edgan's kernels before but I thought it would be nice to have a clean stock one as well in case I need it. :D (I often revert back and forth between stock and custom stuff).

Anyway, I thought your's is the closest to stock but with deodex and root.

If you say kenneth's is pretty much the same, I will use that. :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SGTShark:
Can this be flashed on a stock and locked ATRIX running 4.5.91 OTA to deodex using moto-fastboot?

I know it states in the OP to use moto-fastboot, but doesn't clarify if you need to be unlocked or not. I know you can use fadtboot to flash preinstall for root being locked but curious as to the system.img
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
You can install this in a rooted phone with locked bootloader

put the system.img on your device /sdcard/

adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
the link i gave was for Stock Kernel. Faux123 uploaded it. did you want a cwm of the system.img? Because yes kenneths is nearly the same.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SGTShark:
Thanks. This will be my quick route to deodex!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mscott998:
I'm gonna try this tonight.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] chaosjh:

Can you flash this on 2.2.2 gibgerblur?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] filmusikat:
Hm...I can only install this through moto-fastboot? Can I install this zip through CWM?

Edit: so nevermind. I was able to install this but I am now missing the settings? Don't know what else could be missing. Any thoughts ?

Edit: Nevermind...I guess it was just a bad flash. I re-flashed it and everything is normal again. Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ghost_og:
Exactly what I was looking for. Installed this over rooted stock GB.

@filmusikat After digging around a bit, I decided skipping the moto-fastboot erase recovery command. Just flashed it over the existing system.img. Thanks again!:)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] filmusikat:
Hey let me know which themes work for u... cuz not all the 4.5.91 themes work for this... when I flashed most of them on this... some things disappeared... like settings..and the camera... pretty weird?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ghost_og:
Only issue I've had so far was with my Wi-Fi showing "Error" and not loading. I was on faux's enhanced stock kernel when I flashed this system.img. I re-flashed faux's kernel again, and everything was fine. I'll PM you if I run into any other issues down the road.
[Epic 4G General] wjohnst2:
I have been completely unsuccessful at flashing anything even with Odin. I bought the phone with DI18 in it (Dec '10). Then I downloaded the package off Samsung's website for EB 13 when it first came out. Phone wouldn't take the flash until I removed the battery for at least 6 hours.

Now I've wanted to move forward from the EB13/EC05 (MR4 EC05 updated OTA from EB13) and try EG22 or EF02.

It ends up soft bricked anytime I flash anything with Odin. Odin says it finished and resets 95% of the time with any rom, EC05, DI18, EB13, EF02, EG22, etc. and I end up giving up because the weekend is over or I have to go to work in the morning.

Therefore, I have to pull the battery for 6 hours, and reflash with the 'SWUpdate for SPH-D700' (contains EB13) app that I downloaded from Samsung back in February. This app will only work if I do the battery trick for 6 hours (and it works every time I do this 6 hour wait). An Odin flash won't work in the same situation.

Is there something I'm missing or do I have a wacked phone?

In another forum, people told me to try other cables....

==== time warp ====

Starting to feel it's really a hardware issue. I tried 4 more cables today from friends with Crackberries, HTC, Motorola, etc. Same thing. I even put a ferrite core around one OEM cable. I think I'm up to 8 cables tried & 3 computers. Odin never works, and I can ONLY recover the phone after a 6 hour battery disconnect, and the SWUpdate windows app with EB13 in it. Works every time. Something new now though, if I apply the OTA EC05 update, it really screws up the phone, and drops 50% of the apps (including the phone!). Guess I'm going to wait 6 hours, reflash to EB13, install a bunch of apps to make it look used for a long time, then put the EC05 update in, and off to the Sprint Store to deal with 'did you try pulling the battery out' level of people. They can sometimes be just as bad as IT where I work ;-)

Anybody have any thoughts before I take on Sprint trying to talk them into a replacement?

[General Questions and Answers] dunngh:
This is a noob question, but I have a bit of experience under my belt just so you don't have to worry too much about using "confusing" terminology.

I have rooted/ROMed many devices in the past and have heard guides talking about doing a Nandroid backup. My question is how exactly does it work? Say for example: I am on the stock ROM (rooted of course) and I do a Nandroid backup while on stock. If go to say Cyanogen and I don't like it can I just restore from my nandroid backup like I would flash any other ROM to go back to stock. And if that will get me back to stock does it also preserve all of the user data that was in that ROM when it was backed up?

Any other information about about nandroid backups would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] saintmagician:
From my understanding, the backup backs up all the stuff on your phone EXCEPT for what's on the SD card.

The idea is that you do a back up. Then install a new rom that you want to try out. BUt you don't like it, so you just restore the backup and woolah! your old phone is back along with all your settings, data, etc.

I'm not sure why it's called a nandroid backup, but from what I gather, you can do it with clockworkmod, just boot into recovery. And use the backup and restore option.
[General Questions and Answers] dunngh:
That was my understanding as well. I just wasn't sure on the situation with the user data (or the backup in general really). So all it takes is a nandrid backup to revert back to (rooted) stock?
[General Questions and Answers] rootfan:
A Android backup takes all the files on your device and saves them as a data.img,system.I mg,cache.I mg,user data,and recovery.img. It is also restorable through fastboot. It can also get you out of a tough spot. Say you are messing with a new theme and it causes your device not to boot up or causes unwanted problems. You can restore a backup to a time when your device was working correctly.
[General Questions and Answers] sweetnsour:
this is true unless you do a nandroid+android_secure backup. this also backs up your external app data
[General Questions and Answers] mazta132:
Yes you're correct. You can restore but just remember some app might have ext data in sdcard. If you don't delete it, when you restore you'll get the same as before
[General Questions and Answers] rfp101:
So if you want to restore say just your data can you just delete the images you do not wish to restore from the backup folder and it will just keep the ones you have? Or won't it work at all if you start deleting images?
[General Questions and Answers] sweetnsour:
i wouldnt tamper with a nandroid backup, but if you have clockwordmod recovery, that is possible. clockwordmod recovery gives you the option to restore one of those images (but only one at a time).
