These are useful posts bro. Thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
no worries. Just DON'T PANIC when it softbricks, and immediately (before the 5 second timeout) put it into fastboot mode, then keep going with fastboot oem unlock process seems to do the trick.

At least thats what the script seemed to do. Perhaps start a new topic to clarify with someone who did 2.3OTA unlock manually to confirm.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarpachi:
If I flash back to stock from Gingerblur, is it preferable to go to a certain version? Should I just use 1.8.3?

And does it matter if you use Service or Full? The only thing I can find is that "Full erases all your data and service does not." I assumed that flashing back to stock would erase everything regardless.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrniceguy0921:
i will admit it def. is heart stopping to softbrick, but like he said just proceed with the fastboot unlock
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarpenter85:
I unlocked 2 days ago from OTA 2.3.4 using the full 4.5.91 sbf that includes pudding and preinstall root. I flashed the sbf using rsd 5.3.1 and then got a soft brick 0x1000 no os installed. I freaked out for a moment but after running the fastboot unlock commands the phone booted up and everything was smooth sailing from there out. Good luck!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moonshield:
Hey

If you are still on the 1.83 version, then I recommend this way:

1) Unlock your bootloader.

2) Install CWM.

3) Flash any 2.3.4 custom rom you desire.

Thats what I did 4 days ago, and everything went smooth, without any soft bricks, of heart failure.

I used this great tool:

But, you can do it however you desire.

Hope it helped :cool:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarpachi:
Can anyone provide advice on these questions? The first commenter seems to be getting all the comments/advice. :)

I am on latest Gingerblur, and its my understanding that I need to get back to stock first.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
scar I believe thats the case. In either event it couldn't possibly hurt. All the guides and testing has been done using one of the stock variants as base. I wouldn't even attempt it using gingerblur myself
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarpachi:
Was able to flash back to full1.83, unlock bootloader, root and add rom. Aside from my mistake of picking wrong recovery the first time (and bootlooping) everything went smooth.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cell2011:
Are some of the Droid roms here compaitible at all with Heroc like Liquid smooth and project elite and such? Besides CM7 and OMGB`s? I have these ROMS on my Droid but i have Heroc too and id love to try it out if it would work?
[Thrive Android Development] teh roxxorz:
Well for those that were curious, you can unroot the Thrive. Some may want to, pending Toshiba's rumored update to fix the sleep of death either this week or next. now again, this WILL UNROOT THE DEVICE, so no superuser apps can be used. It won't delete you data, apps, settings, ect. Nothing will be affected. I did mine differently, but dalepl wrote up the instructions before I did, so credit it technically his.

"OK, for you or anyone else that needs to unroot thier Thrive, here are the steps to follow:

1. First, if you removed any files or used Titanium Backup to freeze any apps, you need to undo this.

2. If you renamed the two files that restore the recovery image, you need to rename them back.

a. /system/recovery-from-boot.p

b. /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

3. Delete all files from the /system/xbin directory except dexdump

4. Delete su from the /system/bin directory (if there)

5. Delete Superuser.apk from the /system/app directory

6. Reflash from fastboot the stock boot image

a. Thrive rebooted into fastboot - first icon on the recovery menu

b. fastboot flash boot boot.img (or whatever the file is named)

7. Reflash from fastboot the stock recovery image

a. Should alredy be in fastboot

b. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (or whatever the file is named)

Once this is done, reboot and the device should start normaly without root.

Thanks for getting this posted teh roxxorz. People will be asking for this when the OTA is released and they find they cannot install it. :)
[Thrive Android Development] teh roxxorz:
No prob; that's why I wanted to get it posted because:

1) People with root won't be able to accept the OTA with root

2) Said people may wana unroot for it, then wait for a new root on that image.

So I decided to try an experiment and transferred everything off of my sd card to my pc. I rebooted everything and then moved everything back to my sd card. I can see all the files through a file manager, but can't figure out how to actually load everything.

Any ideas??

The hell? What's the purpose of any of that?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
I moved everything off of my sd to my pc for a backup and when I moved it (my entire phone..I just dragged and dropped the whole folder) it didn't actually remove anything from my phone it just copied it. So I still had a copy of everything on my phone.

Is it possible that you somehow modified all the contents of your phone folder before you moved it back to your phone?..I'm just thinking out loud really, maybe it will trigger your memory, or give you and idea of what went wrong.

What version of windows are you running?

What rom are you on?
[Motorola Droid 3] eXsoR:
Today when i woke up my phones fine, then i go to check a text message and notice, it did not show the lock screen. I lock the phone and again no lock screen.

I then power off the phone and no luck then pulled the battery, still the same thing. i end up having to do a factory reset on then phone and well it working now.

I'm just afraid the it will happen again and wanted to know if any one has any information regarding this issue???

Thank you!!

[Motorola Droid 3] magicelf:
I noticed my lock screen would only sometimes show up. If you go into settings for the lockscreen you can set it to only show up every x minutes. Mine was set to 20. I've since changed it and now it's there everytime...
[Motorola Droid 3] eXsoR:
Yeah mine was not working at all magicelf I can wait 5 mins then I hit the power button and it would go directly to my home screen and not showing any lock screen at all.

:(
[Motorola Droid 3] 640k:
funny cause i thought the lock screen was over-sensitive. usually on d1/d2, if you hit the power button and then hit it again, the lock screen would not show up most of the time. like the screensaver on your desktop, if you respond fast enough, you won't have to unlock.

everytime i turn my screen off, i get the lock screen. so?
[Motorola Droid 3] eXsoR:
640k yeah I know that, I also have a D1.

Lol im not a noob XD but for real it was not working.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vodka2oz:
i have xperia x10i 2.1 then updated it to Gingerbread using PC companion yesterday, the download and update was successful but when i tried to power it on it just give me a green LED blink then vibrate but won't boot up, i know booting after update may take several minutes but it took me almost 2hours waiting but nothing happens,

i tried removing the battery for 30sec then put it back, it blinks then vibrate but still wont boot up, after 5sec it just vibrates continuously, you have to remove the battery to make it stop.

i also tried SEUS , updated successfully but still wont boot up, it just vibrates continuously.

i tried to downgrade to 1.6 , flashing was successful but still wont boot, pressed the power button then after 30min it started vibrating continuously

i also tried reflashing with 2.1 generic but same result as above

then, again i used SEUS repair, download and update was successful but still wont boot, this time i waited several hours but nothing happens even vibration did not happend, after 5hours it started to blink Red LED

pls help me
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goku16:
how much percentage was on your battery before u doing all this flahses?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vodka2oz:
i made sure that i have 50%+ battery before flashing
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goku16:
but u done a lot of flashing after the 2.3 update right?... try charge your phone offline .. see if it's charging
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vodka2oz:
BTW i manage to borrow x10i from a friend,

i tried charging it using wall socket, but it gives me green LED light immediately, as if its going to flash mode, (i remove my battery and inserted it to the borrowed x10i and its charging well)

then i tried to run SEUS again, the update runned without pressing the back key, update was successful but stil wont boot only vibrates continuously.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goku16:
okay... i have been in this situation... firstly, charge your battery through your friend's phone, then flash the 2.1 firmware through flashtool
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vodka2oz:

hi, i have the same problem with my x10a, any solution? can some one help me?
[Epic 4G General] inimitableac:
I have a friend that has one and we traded phones for a couple hours last night. Here's my mini review/reason I'm getting it. First the kickstand. I know alot of people hate the kickstand placement because it places the charging port and hdmi port down. Surprisingly unlike the evo the kickstand clicks in place which makes it possible for you to flip the phone upside down with the kickstand basically flat. This allows you to charge the phone while also watching Netflix with the kickstand propping the phone up. If your brave you can also have the phone in portrait with the kickstand open but the phone rocks if you touch it though I think it would take alot to make it fall over.

My epic barely gets one 3g bar in my dorm room his photon however has 3 or 4 which means alot lol because when I go outside its full. 4G on the other hand demolished my epic doing 10mb whereas my epic did 5 or 6 on a good day. Call quality is something I've never really been able to gauge I called a couple landlines and cellphones with no issues besides that I had to turn the volume down which is agood thing. Speakerphone was clearer then my epic it didn't sound distorted as usual when I try to use it and wasn't as obvious.

Now to the more important stuff the software. To each his own but Motoblur is 10x better than Touchwiz and nothing close to the Motoblur of old. The widgets aren't flashy on the outside almost as if their trying to conserve battery but I like them especially the messaging widget. I don't see myself using handcent anymore because it allows you to have all your messaging in an universal App which is wonderful for me because I'm always on twitter and facebook. The music app is good also especially for people who buy music from amazon. The social widgets I didn't really get into because well it wasn't my phone lol. Most importantly people say the phone lags switching from screen to screen and honestly I think it's the frame rate of Motoblur because I installed Go Launcher, ADW, LP, and Zeam(favorite) and they flew I mean fastest i've seen on any phone even the 3vo and to be sure I loaded them all 7 screens with widgets and transitions.

I only had the phone for 4 hours but the battery life was good only used 20% doing all the stuff I've spoken of above. However, he came looking for my charger and my phone was fully charged when he got it lol. Now for a few tidbits the camera is great I didn't see this bluish tint people speak of or the pixelation maybe I wasn't looking hard enough or don't have a keen enough eye. After the system used its necessity after a clean boot there was about 700mb of ram for use which is well self explanatory. Apps open instantly, bluetooth connects perfectly quicker than my epic, and wifi had no hiccups, and I've talked about 4G already but I'm starting to get hungry any questions ask personally I plan on buying one but who knows may still end up with a within when it comes out.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Yes, it a blur problem. The "Blur" on the Droid 2 R2D2 is exactly the same in that it lags, which makes the phone seem slow. As soon as I put LP on it(it was my cousins) it was pretty smooth.

[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
Photon 4g is a great phone.. However i think i could do without the kickstand if it was alitlle slimmer.

Im pretty sure its thicker than most galaxy s phone (not to mention gs2)

[Epic 4G General] Jayavarman:
Thanks for the review. :) Keep us updated.
[Epic 4G General] lazloe:
I'm happy with my Epic too, but I'd be happier with +20dB more signal that I might get with the Photon. I tested that today at a Sprint store...

There is also the dock for your TV which works great. I have not yet seen if the actual dock is required for the app to work or if a straight cable can be used from phone to TV...

There is also an app to share files from computer to the phone over 3/4g or wifi (supposedly). The review sites have all been full of **** and half assed reviews and I have only seen a single mention of this feature, no details whatsoever.

The UI does lag and it did look great when I used both GO and ADW on the store demo..

I also changed the theme to a couple different styles and all looked great.

I noticed no discoloring on the camera pictures and the screen looks real good on color duplication. My Epic side by side has a greenish tint, while the Photon looked as though it might have had a warmer (red) tint, still accurate colors though..

The sound from the speaker sounded a bit clearer from my Epic while playing Electronic and Classic Rock.

I did not try calls or texts or anything like that but yall can see other reviewers for that info. Overall quality of calls seems good.

I removed several apps that looked like they were bloatware...

I will find out for sure when I go to another store to play for an hour or so...

Edit:

The camera has very few options. I like the panorama option on my Epic, even though it is low resolution. There just didnt seem to be many customizations or settings to tinker with, but I might have just missed them in my limited time... I would love to confirm if the camera sound can be killed...
[Epic 4G General] ericizzy1:
got the photon today, played with it for few hours, everything is very good, but the screen is terrible. really bad. its going back to sprint tomorrow. will wait for the within
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
what is it about the screen that was horrible ?

asking because I'm on the fence about getting the photon.. I managed to get an early upgrade (full upgrade) 2 wks before my 12 month anniversary and I was playing w/ one and it seemed ok.. just wasn't impressed w/ the screen too well..

can you offer a review of the screen ?

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
The screen is not horrible at all. In fact it is actually pretty awesome. The Super AMOLED screens are just an over saturated display that kill your battery like crazy. The Photon's display is impressive plus it has the best battery life for a smartphone ever.

Look at Engadget's review. Their positive is the screen!
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
Do you know the pixel count... like 480x800?
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
It is qHD just like the EVO 3D
[Epic 4G General] ZiggSVO:
I second this. Very much like the display.

Battery life is superb. 1 day 3 hours of moderate to heavy usage and I still had 13% left.

Panoramic mode for the camera is under menu then picture modes.

Pixel count is 540 x 960

And the option to connect to your tv without the **** and just a cable is there but you need to be rooted.

The bootloader is also unlocked already. And root access of available without dock now.

If you have the chance I say upgrade and test it for a week or 2 then decide for your self. I think I may be keeping it.
[Epic 4G General] Darkshneider:
I want it, cant afford it. Waiting to see if someone will return it so I can buy it pre-owned at the store :D.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Yeah I love the option to connect my Photon to my TV without my ****. lol
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:

[Epic 4G General] cachorropedorro:
I messed around with it in the store and the screen bothered me a bit as well. The pentile matrix is pretty bad if you look closely and the ui lag bothered me a bit as well.

[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
I read both reviews that you linked. thanks for those..

I was seriously considering this device but I might go take a closer look at the display before deciding.. The WiThin should be right around the corner too LOL
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
i just went to their website and it looks like it's $199 :/
[Epic 4G General] beejmeister:
That's weird because I see $99 (with a qualified contract). Wonder if it is regional somehow.

Regarding the screen. I went by my local store and did a live wallpaper test, if you will. I never use live wallpaper but knew that I could pull the leaf in the water one up on my EPIC as well as the Photon and then I turned both screens to full brightness.

At arm's length the Photon was comparable with a slight difference in colors and I was somewhat impressed.

I then went over to the display in the store where they had the Photon in a dock (not ****) that was attached to mouse and had a bluetooth keyboard attached as well as a 21" monitor.

Wow! I was impressed with that as it basically allowed you to use the phone as a PC (granted not an uberpowerful PC... but an uberpowerful phone acting as a PC). It was pretty cool.

Then Charles came over. He's a rep that I've known at the store for quite a while and is a great guy and super Sprint rep.

He said he had switched from the EPIC to the Photon but that he wanted to show me some things.

He proceeded to show me how HORRIBLE the screen on the phone really was. As I mentioned above, at arm's length and full brightness I was OK.

When looking closer however, the icons on the home screen are clearly "dotty"... I don't want to say pixelated because of the specific meaning of it but they were not "smooth" if you will.

He then showed me some video that he had taken with his Photon and some taken with his EPIC (both played back on the Photon).

The video from the EPIC was clear and exceptional (I've been impressed with anything I've taken on mine but also attributed some of the quality to the AMOLED). The video from the Photon was bad. Jagged edges on items in motion...

Granted the 4 videos were shot in different places, different lighting, etc. but they were comparable and I proceeded to thank him for being so upfront and honest and told him to call me when the GSII hit and I would be the first to buy one.

Hope that helps. Sorry to pick on your phones those of you that have already gotten Photons.
[Epic 4G General] Darkshneider:
Upgrade not available until next year sadly.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Why does everyone knock its screen lol

When I was reading the review on my phone, I scrolled past the pic where they compare the 3vo, photon and droid x 2 I think, and I was only able to see the bottom of the pic

I loled because I didn't know the one in the middle was the photon...I thought it was a gsII flanked on theleft by the evo and the riht by the photon. I was like "wow engadget are some dicks throwing in a SAMOLED+ to show how bad the screens are" then scrolled up to see it was infact the photon...I mean, I'm not going to be getting one, but that screen is a lot betterlooking than the other qhd'sout there. I was surprised at the blacks..
