[T-Mobile LG G2x] bulldog.reagan:
Amazing work on the XDA site. I would like to buy someone a drink but could use somes help first.

I am a bit of a newbie but I know a little about the rooting process. I have rooted and loaded roms on several phones with no problem till I did something wrong with my new G2x.

Here is where I am at. I think I might have loaded a bad rom or something that wasnt meant for the G2X.

I found one on the XDA site that was a overclocked rom. I think it may have been the Slick rom, but I dont know what I did wrong. I wanted to try a rom that was overclocked.

But whatever I did I have no idea what happen.

Right now when I turn on the phone it starts up and just stays at the LG screen with the bar at the bottom loading after a while it just freezes. So I cant even get into the phone.

I do have clockrecovery loaded on it and holding the power button and down arrow will get me there. Once I am in there I am able to get to my external SD card and load a rom that I know works for example CM7. As soon as I do the wipe and then go to loading the rom the starts to open and I get an error which seems to be somewhat common but I am not able to find a fix. The error says

Installing: /sdcard/update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-Optimus2x-signed.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "p990" II getprop("ro.build.product") == "p990"

E: Error in /sdcard/update-cm7-7.1.0-RC1-Optimus2X-signed.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted

I was thinking the rom was bad or something so I tried a few others and none of them work.

I am stuck XDA...Sorry to bother you all, but I have been combing through the threads but I am unable to find a solution on how to fix this.

Can anyone break it down for me. I am sure its just something simple but I cant get it to work.

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kiddecks:
the optimus 2x and the g2x are two different phones

you are flashing the wrong version

p999 is the g2x

where's my beer?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bulldog.reagan:
Let me find the correct Rom and I will try it..Then we will drink..lol Whats the best rom for the g2X? What are you using? The rom I got was right off the XDA Site and from the CM7 site but maybe I was just looking in the wrong place. What about the overclocked roms? Whats good? Does it eat up a lot of battery?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bulldog.reagan:
You were right. I knew I was just making a newbie mistake somewhere. I swore though I had the correct rom but thanks for clearing it up. I do owe you an ice cold one so I sent you a PM so I can follow through on my end.

What will the pimp my cpu app work with? Can I use it with the CM7 I really would like to try out an overclocked rom. What do you suggest? Hows the batter life on them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kiddecks:
heh, i'm running MIUI alpha2 (from miuiandroid.com) right now, and it's nice... a little buggy, but i've learned to cope. My main issue with it is Wifi Calling doesn't seem to want to work for me, though I'm hopeful the next version will fix that. If, hypothetically, I wanted everything to just work and to have decent battery life, I would personally flash the latest nightly build of cyanogenmod 7.1 which you can grab from http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=p999

I believe for Pimp My CPU you'll need a custom kernel, but I don't see the point in squeezing out those extra cycles... to me the birds don't really seem that much Angrier. I usually only flash kernels when they are reported to work with particular apps that don't work on stock, such as modified Google Talks or what have you. If I was going to mod a friends phone, I would load just the latest nightly after flashing with NVidia's tool and partitioning the sdcard using the custom recovery menu.

I'm always worried about the battery, but standby time on both ROMs is great, I didn't expect it to be this good on MIUI. I feel I use apps, browers, more on CM7 but I use the Google Music app literally all day streaming and I haven't one had the phone shut down on me... restart yes, MIUI is alpha right now so it's not the stablest of beasts, but it sure is cool looking.

Good luck, and I was just joking about the beer, maybe next year... I'm going to definitely try Abita in a can!

Ok so i started freezing things and i dont know if that has a link with whats happening. But either way i unfreezed everything and nothing. Before i had my FB account listed under the Accounts setting and i had all phone numbers from FB and pics synced with contacts on my phone. Now i lost those numbers and all pics. When i go to add account it shows FB checked and says i can only have one account at a time. But on the list it shows the Blur and google account and nothing more. Anyone know if theres a file that i can delete that will refresh that or any other fixes?

Has anyone found a way to root a thunderbolt with version 1.70.605.0?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I believe the manual method still works on that. Haven't seen anything different.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knothead:
Yes it does. I waited on it hen rooted.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
I'm in the middle of rooting mine after just now taking the OTA. If the downgrade flash takes, I'm all good.

*EDIT* Downgrade took, next is copying the eng bootloader
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMac0051:
works like a charm :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ostrihon:
Lol what's the manual method? I'm new to all this stuff.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILMF:
It's the JCase's tutorial - the first stickie in the development section of the xda forums.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajftl:
cool but that tutorial unlock bootloader and all i just want to root latest stock firmware so i can run wifi tether...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Without the unlocked bootloader all you get it temp root. So, unless you want to do an ADB temp root on your device while running pre-release firmware, you're kinda outta luck on that front. Do you have an issue with unlocking the bootloader we should be aware of?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joebags:
I would like to know if it is possible to create a flashable zip of my userdata, specifically the section that contains the account login info.

The reason for this is i flip flop around cm, miui, oxygen, ect. I would love to just do a full wipe, flash the new cm nightly, then flash my userdata on top so i dont have to run the first run setup bs. I die inside each time i'm told to touch the android logo.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
your post is so confusing.

use titanium backup to save your apps and the apps' data.

you'll have to re-enter your google credentials.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joebags:
I use titanium pro. Works great. I don't want to re-enter my Google credentials. That's the point.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Scary Guy:
So I use windows as an OS for my DJ rig. I have quite a few neat screensavers on it.

I'm not sure how they would run on the arm processor but dosbox exists so i know it has to be possible to emulate it.

It's not even anything fancy, it's just the "retro scifi" screensaver. There are a few others I like too.

If something like this exists and I just don't know please by all means let me know. If not, I like things, this should be a thing.

Also I just noticed there is a general android section, can a mod/admin move this there?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] devbro:
Do you have any gif files or videos of the screensavers that you have in mind? If so there will be a way to make the bootanimations.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Scary Guy:
Did you even read what I wrote? Not boot animations, LIVE WALLPAPERS! It's right in the title.

If you want to see them in action there is the google or maybe even a google image search will yield you some images. I suppose they'd be fairly neat as boot animations too and then boot into the live wallpaper.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] devbro:
ignore my quick typing. If you have a gif file you can use this app to create it:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.direxar.animgiflivewallpaper2&feature=more_from_developer
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Scary Guy:
I suppose there should be a way to record the screensaver output to something. Might not be as random, and it will be one huge gif file. I wonder what the limitation to number of images in them is now.

A movie might be easier, maybe swf/fla format. I'll check into that too.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] devbro:
If you be able to video tape the screensavers, you can use ffmpeg to create a gif file out of the video.

Hello

So i saw there was a samsung update voor my galaxy i9100. I did it but it was stuck at 4%, so i pulled out the usb cable and now it won't start up. It start up with a connection error.

Anyone has an idea how to fix it. With odin maybe.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxysdev:
You mean i9000, right? If so check does it go to download mode and if so just flash stock firmware with pit and repartition (google around a bit).

Mods : Delete this

Awww, your rant is gonna get deleted.

Too bad.

Next time you should put this in the right section.
[HTC Sensation] AdamLC:
How is this development?!?
[HTC Sensation] Christopher3712:
<----thoroughly amused.
[HTC Sensation] chisleu:
factory reset will fix the green lines problem. I've never had it.

The cell signal strength issue is a big issue for me as well (and many others.)

Are you using a cheap TPU case? stop. it has caused problems for me and others.
[HTC Sensation] WorldWide60:
I don't understand... What did you develop?

You suck as much as your phone.
[HTC Sensation] jab1972:
Very, Very, sorry, posted on wrong forum, had too many browser sessions open.

PLEASE DELETE and I will post it in the correct forum.

I take it that everybody who felt the immediate need to post just to point out that I posted in the wrong forum are lucky enough to be S-OFF and running custom ROMS/Lastest Radio versions that solve these problems)

I just love how many of these “helpful” people there are that scour this forum and feel the need to immediately jump on and INSULT people who have obviously just made a mistake. Leave it to the mods who are there to just delete such mistakes as I have made.

Thanks chisleu for a constructive answer, no I am not using any case, I fear that unfortunalty I am not going to get an improvement with the replacement, oh well.

(PLEASE DELETE and I will repost)
[HTC Sensation] Pinepig:
No need, the mods moved it, they should probably put it back so you can develop thicker skin and less butthurt.:D
[HTC Sensation] Unrivalled:
Havent been facing any big problem for me.
[Atrix 4G General] Tejh:
So here's the deal. My screen won't turn on probably 95% of the time. Pulling the battery doesn't help at all. The other 5% of the time that it does turn on, it looks like this.

hxxp://i56.tinypic.com/2m45an5.jpg

The lines that are blue and green at the bottom of the screen that extend about 35% of the way up are not part of the background. they are for lack of a better term lines that look like static. they move on top of the screen. In addition, the pixel quality of the parts without the lines is severely diminished.

The phone has not been dropped, put in water, nothing. It has stayed in its otterbox case its entire life. So physical damage is not possible. I have taken care of this phone like a child.

Has anybody experienced this issue? the software specs are below

Gingerblur 4.5

Faux kernel r1

I want to go back down to 2.2.2 and I posted that in the Q&A but people seem to think im on 4.5.91 when I am not.

Basically, am i completely screwed in terms of this atrix and should try for warranty? Or is there hope. booting into CWM is EXTREMELY unlikely as if I try to reboot the phone, I don't have a screen 95% of the time unless somebody can give me the exact amount of clicks I will need per item menu.
[Atrix 4G General] murphy2122:
Definitely looks like a hardware issue, either the screen or the chip inside is fried. Those artifacts on top are pretty indicative. Definitely go for the warranty I would say
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Just flash down unroot and odex your files. Hopefully your carrier gives you a replacement atrix! :)
[Atrix 4G General] Tejh:
Went to the AT&T store. I couldn't get the screen on like the other 95% of the time so they are sending me a new(read, refurbished) one.
[Atrix 4G General] Tejh:
Here is a better question now. Does anybody know if the refurbs are coming with 2.3.4 auto loaded onto them?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norcalz71:
I believe this has been covered in different ways, just wondering if this sounds like a device fault.

Took the 1gb microSD out of my work blackberry (was working fine) and put it in my atrix....not recognized. Pressed the clip down a little, still not recongized. Rebooted, not recognized, not option to mount or format in settings.

Any thoughts? I know the card is good.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deziguy420:
put it in the micro sd adapter and format it make sure to use fat or fat 32 as a file system
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norcalz71:
ill give that a try as soon as I get home, don't think I have an adapter here at work. thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deziguy420:
let me ask you this...does it recognizes on ur pc/laptop?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norcalz71:
doesnt seem to, although i have never used an android device prior to this one to see how it should recognize.

if i plug the usb cable in, i can see the phones internal memory as basically an external HD just like a flash drive, but I dont see the SD card
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deziguy420:
in your setting>>storage>>sd card (what you see under that is there an option available to unmount sd..if yes then unmount sd then choose format..)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norcalz71:
under that menu, mount sd card and format sd card are greyed out, and total and available space are white but do not do anything when clicked and say "unavailable" below in smaller font
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norcalz71:
popped the microSD card into my card reader, plugged it into the laptop, and reformatted as FAT32.....atrix still doesnt see it and the options are still greyed out. doesnt seen it when plugged into the computer either. i see the internal storage but not the SD
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deziguy420:
what rom are you using?..have you tired other microSD?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norcalz71:
only have the one microSD on me right now so no. currently on stock 1.8.3 but rooted (IIRC it still is). I am doing a fresh flash to wipe everything back to 1.2.6 though and get ready for unlocking and gingerbread.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deziguy420:
well I was gonna tell you to wipe via CWM...but that approach was my next option..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norcalz71:
flashed back to 4.1.2.6 and then 1.5.7....still no SD card getting recognized.

Time to think about seeing if they will replace the phone? the card works fine in the card reader and in my other phone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deziguy420:
yeh it's time to replace the phone...seems like sd slot is messed up..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norcalz71:
phone was purchased just after release, end of February. is this something I should expect to be replaced under warranty from ATT?

Is there any difference in battery life between BFS and CFS?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbibbs:
From the research I've done CFS seems to be better but I'm not 100% sure so I could be wrong.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arvindrao86:
CFS (completely fair scheduler) usually handles all tasks "equally" where as BFS (brain f*ck scheduler) dedicates all its processing power to whatever task you are currently doing. in theory, CFS should produce bettery battery life, but like the above poster said, that could be completely 100% wrong. it really depends on how you use your device and what tasks you use the most, etc....at least this is the understanding I have of the difference between CFS and BFS. i am currently running a CFS kernel build and have exceptional battery life, but then again I am a "conservative" user. as in I turn off things when not using it, don't use live wallpapers often, etc. best thing you can do is nandroid backup and test both out for a reasonable time and see which works best for you. also keep in mind every single device is different too. some handle OC better than others, so the same reasoning can be applied to other things.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] window7:
Personally like BFS more :)

But some rom like MIUI rom prefer CFS. Haha.

Hello All;

I am new to the smartphone world and I recently rooted my TB with a Stock Rom; now that I am rooted how would I maintain an up to date phone?

Is there a way to sign up for new update notifications from this site, or do I need to keep up with blogs, chats, and the internet on my own?

Note: I have had two questions that I posted on this site and both of them have been answered/very useful.

Thank you all in advance!
[Thunderbolt General] SFBPro:
I may be completely mistaken but I believe it is up to you to watcth the forums and find a blog to follow.
[Thunderbolt General] captainstarbucs:
Up to date according to Verizon or the developers here? XDA is pretty much bleeding edge in terms of radios and operating system updates.
[Thunderbolt General] Moyeto:
Ok, this what I need to know. Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] Moyeto:
Ok, thanks. I just dont want to fall behind the ROM race.
[Thunderbolt General] Drootz!:
Now that your rooted if you want to remain on a rooted stock rom, just wait til you see a blog on here about a new thunderbolt update (MR2 for example)

Then give it a day or 2 for someone to release the update in a rooted version, in a thread in the thunderbolt development section that looks like this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1160374

[ROM] Official 1.70.605.0 MR2 OTA Deodexed Rooted Busybox

which is for rooted users follow the directions on flashing using cwm and then flashing the new radio file if there is one, through hboot.

you will then maintain root while still getting the latest ota's.
[Thunderbolt General] Moyeto:
Thank you for taking the time to explain to me the process; direct me and I will take it from there.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
Unfortunately you're going to see a number of old threads for ROMs with dead links. Most of what you're going to need is here. The newest radio isn't, that I've seen. And I'm not sure there's any gingerbread builds based on the newest leak are here either. If I'm wrong, someone correct me. If you find a locked ROM thread, just Google the name.

Glad you've joined the community and we hope to be as helpful as possible.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Deadly Sto(R)m:
I am going to have my new Desire Z in a few days and I want to root it. I have a question, how can I backup all of oficial rom, kernel, radio ets.? Because I am not sure if I will send it to HTC for warranty in a few months or in 2 years. What do I need to do before rooting my device for not to have any warranty problems? Thanks for now...
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Well you're going to have to downgrade in order to get root, which will wipe the device as far as I know.

After you've downgraded and rooted, you can then use ROM manger to make a 'nandroid' backup of the device. It effectively makes a perfect copy of the entire device, and saves it to your SD card. After you flash a new ROM or anything, you can always go back and restore that nandroid backup, putting you exactly where you were when you made the backup.

It should be noted that when you send it into HTC for repair, you'll want to unroot it anyways, which will wipe the device again and return to stock w/ S-ON (you dont want to send it to HTC with your info on it anyways), so keeping the stock rooted ROM isn't completely necessary (although it is a good idea to have around for troubleshooting reasons).
[G2 and Desire Z General] Deadly Sto(R)m:
First off all thank you for your post...

Second; The things that I understand;

1) I have to downgrade and root my phone

2) I must have a nandroid backup (I will learn what it is and how to do this), so i will have a backup which will help me to restore me device again when i want.)

3) I need to S-ON my device again when sending to HTC.

4) The mst important is saving nandroid backup will save my device :)

Are these true or will i have to study more? :)

By the way, I want to try sense 3.0 but i am not sure to have virtuous rom. do you recommend to get it? Which is best; to have a gingerbread rom w/ sense 2.1 or froyo rom w/ sense 3.0? As i know, virtuous rom doesn't have gingerbread now but it might have soon...
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Yep you got it. After downgrade/rooting (follow Wiki guide), use ROM manager (download in the market) to flash ClockWorkMod Recovery. Then use that to make a backup. It saves the file to your SD card. Copy that file to your computer for safe keeping (good to have it in 2 places if you really wanna make sure you keep it).

To get S-ON later if you need to send in for repair, follow the Wiki to unroot and that'll be done. It should be noted that unrooting the phone will flash it back to completely stock setup, so the stock nandroid backup isn't necessary to keep in order to send back to HTC. The only real reason to keep that rooted stock backup around is for troubleshooting problems, etc. you can always go back to the stock ROM to try things.

As far as running Virtuous for Sense 3.0 or 2.1, that's all personal preference. I advise just trying different ROMs and seeing which you like. Everyone likes something different. Just remember to nandroid the one you're on before switching so you can go back if need be.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Deadly Sto(R)m:
[SOLVED!] How can I backup oficial Desire Z rom etc.?

I quess to have a nandroid backup is necessary to send back to HTC before you told me. Thank you for this. I will try lots of roms and decide which one i want.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Kilroy672:
I was just going to make a post about the same subject until I saw this. I also too want to back up my G2 stock rom. I'm currently returing my old G2 inplace of a replacement G2. I want to know how I can back up the stock rom without rooting? I downloaded rom manager but need root to continue. My old phone was rooted and had all my backups that way. I wanna try out the new 2.3.4 from OTA when I get the notification to do so, but just incase I don't like it I wanna go back to stock then root. So how can I do a full backup without root or doing a factory data reset? Thanks
