This used to happen to me on Minimal X. What I did was take out the battery, plug my X2 into the charger and turned it on. It'd go into the bootstrap recovery, and then I'd pop the battery back in. You could let it sit in recovery for a while so the battery can get enough charge to boot, or just reboot, and it should go back to booting regularly.
[Motorola Droid X2] ryman222:
Well CorteX2 is loosely based in MinimalX build ill dig through and try to find problem. Thanks
[Motorola Droid X2] GulMiguel:
Am I understanding the feature list correctly? Are the listed turbo-chargers actually INCLUDED in this ROM? Or is it that the ROM merely supports those features if a user has them? Please clarify. I'm seriously interested in improving performance. If this can do it then I will definitely give it a try. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know how to modify the shutdown animations on the Incredible S?
[HTC Incredible S] SirMikey:
I certainly don't think it's possible without some rooting and a custom ROM. Not sure if there is any support for it in the current ROMs available. Might even be hard coded on to the phone.

Any techy people know better?
[HTC Incredible S] John Anderton:
I had looked it up ages ago.. what I found was in my mega tutorial post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14924283&postcount=83

SirMikey: Yes, you'd need S-Off before you flash these things in from recovery. Custom ROM not necessary :)

I just rooted my samsung vibrant, galaxy S series, and Umm.. well what do I do now?

What can I do now that Im rooted? I did get a custom ROM, but is there really anything else?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
No, nothing else. Only custom ROMs and radios. It really isn't worth the hassle of rooting an Android device. Especially if said Android device works perfectly fine as is.

There are a few apps that require rooting and you'd be able to use those. But they can be lived without.

you dont need to root your phone to change your launcher. just install it

there are apps that allow you to change your boot animation (you need to be rooted of course)

as for the splash screen, im not sure if that can be changed

I suggest reading up a bit, for maybe a few days or even a week first. Make sure you feel comfortable with what you're going to do FIRST.

If you really want to be extra safe, but a jig too (I got one for less than $10, google it or search the forums.)

Nothing feels worse than that moment of uhoh.. what did I do?

Read up, follow instructions (get the jig too) and enjoy the Vibrant for what it can really do, which is so much more than stock.

No doubt it would require full root access, but it'd be very useful if the 3D Switch had a function outside of camera mode. One thought I had would be as a silent/vibrate toggle as found on the iphone. But that's a far cry from all the potential uses for it.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
So I waited for the GB update and I like it but I think it is time to root this phone. I want to stress that I have had this phone since a little bit after it came out about two weeks after and it has run like a champ from day 1. No problems at all so when I updated to gb it was actually a downgrade in some ways like the camera but I definitly like gb because of the text editing but I havent noticed any improvement in battery life or speed or signal or GPS but All thouse things were great before and they are great now.

So I am running GB 2.3.3 withthe july 15 baseband and kernel 2.6.32.9 and I know it is different to root but I dont fully uinderstand it so if someone can post a detailed guide with as much explanation as possible so I understand what I am doing I would greatly appriciate it. I assume you cant get NV flasher from the market (I Havent looked) and what is cwm or cmw and if I flash a new rom will I loose the new baseband? Or can I get root permissions and keep stock GB? Tahnk you for all your help
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jabhome:
First read the sticky at the top of the Android Development page. That sticky basically explains everything you will need to know, step by step.

In summary though....

Step 1 - NVFlash (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056847)

Step 2 - Download Xboarders Rooted OTA.zip (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179748)

Step 3 - Boot into Clockwork Recovery

Step 4 - Install Zip from SD Card - the Zip you downloaded above

Voila you have rooted GB 2.3.3 with new baseband.

An alternative that I would suggest would be Eaglesblood 1.06 GB 2.3.3 though, smoothest ROM on the boards IMO and based on GB 2.3.3
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pdxmatts:
I've tried both Roms and I would have to sway that Xboarder's Tweaked Rom is the best GB update 2.3.3 Rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jabhome:
Did not try Xboarders tweaked, maybe I will give it a try.

Does swype work on that rom as phone just took a dump with swype beta. First reboot in over two months just now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beggars1923:
Follow the advice above. I flashed a rom for the first time today.

Does the Netflix app work on xboarder's rom? I'm having issues with HDMI on CM7 going out about every 5 minutes but coming right back. I really need the netflix app for travel.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
thanks guys that was what I thought. So it really is that easy? What actually gives it the root? is it the xboarders rom? I am going to ask alot of questions because I want to understand how it actually works so please bear with me. It sounds like it actually got easir to root with this update no? It seems like NVflash is a app or program that lets me put the rom on my sim card should I go internal or external? I have a whole bunch of external cards with diffewrent capacitys and the one i use now is 16 gig. Then clockwork recovery is a program that is already on the dvice I dont know if it is part of android or what but it is alrady there right? It lets me choose wether I want to recover or make a backup of roms or install new ones correct? Then when I put the tweeked rom on it has something in it hat roots the phone magically.

Please let me know what I am right about and what I am not right about and give me the correct answers because I really want to know I am a nosey motherfer

Charlie
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
So According to the thread in this forum titles "how to get the new baseband" the rooted version of the new rom does not contain the new baseband. Or is that the leaked gingerbread that came out a few months ago way before the update came out? He is not talking about xboarders rom right? If I do what was suggested here I will in fact have the new baseband and 2.3.3 rooted right?

Charlie
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
correct

If you have the new baseband now no roms will change that.

The roms do not include the baseband .
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jabhome:
I flash from my external SD Card. You just need to decide where you want to install from, and then make sure you set up NVFlash with the correct support, external or internal.

Not sure of the exact terminology, but I think the procedure itself would be called to NVFlash ClockworkMod. NVFlash is the procedure to install CWM, while CWM is the program that you will run via Volume Down + Power when you boot up. CWM 4.0.0.2 will boot up and from there you will be able to flash roms, backup and restore Nandroids.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
Ah that makes sense Now I see CWM stands for Clock work mod. See I was thinking CWM is a rom I actually thought it stood for cyogen mod I just couldnt figure out the W. So when I flash CWM it contains the root permissions already is that how it works?

So I should use nvflash to install cwm then I should probally make a backup of my stock rom. Also If I just install or flash CWM and not flash a new rom then Will my phone be rooted stock? or do I have to flash the xborders rom to gain root?

Thanks alot guys

Charlie
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
CWM doesn't "contain" root permissions, it just allows you to flash any ROM into the phone, rooted or otherwise. The Xboarder ROM is pre-rooted, along with most of the others.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] namklak:
THANK YOU!

I too am a noob and was a little confused. I'd search the forums and come up with too much info. Plus, some terms used on this forum are slightly overloaded (in the C++ context) from the classic meanings, like "ROM" and "baseband". Those terms as used here do not mean exactly what they meant 20 years ago.

I'm sure I need to read more on app dev (but I have too many hobbies already), but I'm confused about the layers of s/w. As a noob, I would think the layers would be BIOS or maybe BSP, Linux, Android. So I don't understand:

1) where does the clockwork mod fit within the layers?

1a) nvdia nvflash installs new drivers in the Linux layer?

2) what is contained in the ROM image? A new version of Linux, andriod, nvdia drivers, baseband?

3) Is there a BIOS/BSP, or is all register access done in Linux drivers?

I'm not looking for a developers level answer to these questions, more of the readers digest version of the answers.

Since I'm having black screen of death (I believe referred to here as "SOD"), on two phones, I'd like to understand more, to figure out if this problem is h/w or s/w. I am definitely leaning towards s/w problems and my wife and I would love to keep these phones.

Thanks again.

-Bob
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Danishswag:
Continuing off of what Spyvie said, you do need to flash xboarder's rom to gain root, (more like repeating what he said). As for nvflash, this should make things a bit easier. tgagunman made a nice one click feature that if you follow the directions, should be easier to follow. You will get clockwork mod recovery, it will be nvflashed, but it's a lot easier for a non-techie to use.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
I want to thank everyone who chimed in you guys have been really good to me:) Bob has some really good questions also and I hope this thread can help you out bob. That is why I started this thread for people like me who are really good with computers and like to mess around but don't quite understand phones. Every time something goes wrong with my PC I go to the forums and I fix it myself then I feel good. (And I have had some real disasters on my PC I have come back from)

Anyway I will be doing this procedure soon as I feel confident that I can do it and I see there is a fix for unbricking phones. One last question before I hit the green light: Can it be unrooted just in case I have to send it back for warantey issues and can CWM be uninstalled? I suspect that since the ROM is pre-rooted that all I would have to do is format and install my original ROM then uninstall CWM is that on point or no? And Again THANKS TO ALL WHO CHIME IN WITH THE ANSWERS AND I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE OTHERS TO CHIME IN WITH THERE QUESTIONS.

Charlie
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
Okay so I checked out the links. So I gather that step 1 has to be skipped now because super1click does not work. So we can just NVflash CWM which looks easy enough. Now I have winzip on my computer will that work for extracting .rar files? I am pretty sure it will but I want to make sure. And I am going to shut off user control permissions and I use MS security essentials for my Anti virus so I am thinking of shutting that off for this procedure would that be a wise thing and is there anything else that I should do. I am not a computer expert but I am not a idiot either I am just inexperienced. Thank you guys

Charlie
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jabhome:
You can restore you Nandroid of the preroot OTA, or you can unroot with the unroot zip that Xboarder provided in his link.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bls2633:
no, there is nothing else you need to do to your computer. The link provided by the brother above (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056847) is where you need to be. Skip the one click root and go straight to NV flash. It will guide you through installing the nvidia drivers you need. TGA_Gunnman has is laid out really nice and easy to follow and the program he put together (one click clm recovery nv flasher) is really simple to understand and use. he also has another post out there (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1060715) that is also helpfull. Once you get nv flash done make sure you copy the rom you want on your sd card. IMO Xboarders is very nice and smooth. You will hold down volume down and power together until you see the android screen. Then in the menu use vol keys to move to backup and restore and use power to select. Then move to yes and run the backup. then you can wipe data/factory restore. Then wipe cache. Then go to advanced and wipe dalvic and batt stats. Then go back to "choose zip from sd" and find your rom zip and select it. It will run for a while and tell you when its done, Then go to advanced again and fix permission. After that just go to reboot option and let it reboot. It may take a little longer the first time, just let it go. When it reboots you will have a rooted 2.3.3 with the new baseband you just updated to. After that go to the market and get Titanium Backup and run a backup of all your apps and data. From there your pretty much good to start flashing away. Have fun, Good luck

Issues with MANGO RUU ROMS.

List of such ROMs:

It's not full list. Maybe some other ROMs affected by this too.

Thread about this ROMs.

RUU_Gold_S_HTC_Europe_3.02.401.01_Radio_5.69.09.29 a_22.50.50.21_Signed_GOLD_RELEASE.exe

RUU_Mozart_S_HTC_Europe_4.06.401.00_5.69.09_RELEAS E.exe

RUU_Spark_S_HTC_Europe_4.06.401.00_5.69.09_RELEASE .exe

About issue:

After running RSPL on MANGO OSPL, you can't flash device via SPL.

Windows Phone 7 OS is still booting and working.

Instead of full SPL screen you will see only one the first line:

You device will be "HALF BRICKED", because you can use OS, but can't flash anything else.

At the current moment it's IMPOSSIBLE to recover such devices. And I am not sure it will be ever possible.

What you must NOT do:

Before running RSPL wizard check your SPL screen.

There current SPL version at top: "X.Y.Z 2250 "

When wizard asks you to choose your current SPL version, be sure it's present inside versions list.

If your current SPL version doesn't present in the list, you can choose nearest version, BUT ONLY IF IT HAS SAME FIRST NUMBER!!

Example: You have 4.XX on the device. Do NOT choose 1.XX 2.XX 3.XX.

Generally it means that you must NOT run RSPL wizard after MANGO RUU ROM installation. You must flash older version (with 7004 or NoDo) and then run RSPL.

Installed OS version doesn't important. Only SPL version important.
