Yeah I knew there was only temp root but I saw some roms that were gingerbread with root. So I didn't understand how that was. I thought maybe if you could get clockwork installed with temp root you could still flash a rom. So are the gingerbread roms only for people on froyo? Can you downgrade to froyo and upgrade to the gingerbread rom? Also what do you use to flash roms. With samsung you have odin. What do you use on htc? I see mention of ruu but have seen nothing on how to use it or where to get it. Sorry for so many questions and being really new to this side of the pond.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crump84:
Flashing clockworkMod while temp rooted isn't going to work, as soon as your phone tries to reboot you lose root. So you can't access Clockwork, which is how/where you flash ROMs. Currently there is no way to revert back to froyo, the new bootloaders do not recognize the froyo RUU. Basically until a perm root solution is found, temp root is the best you can do.

The ROMs that you see are for user that rooted while running froyo and never took the "official" update from HTC.

Did you buy your phone brand new or used? Go to settings about phone, software information.

If you have Android 2.2 you can root your phone. Otherwise you are screwed until HTC unlocks the bootloader.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notsointeresting:
He said brand new so that means it came with 2.3.3 :p

OK I will wait patiently until perma root has been established. Thank you all for all of the information.

Hello everyone as you can already tell I am currently browsing this website on my phone because currently I am on vacation and in a hotel that does not offer free wifi. I installed wifi tether onto my phone along with barnacle tether. The problem is that I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my thinkpad and from what I've read the two above tether apps don't play nice with Ubuntu (something to so with the adhoc settings or something along those lines). I have tried USB tethered options via easy tether and PDA net but neither have worked.

I remember Wug made a zip with the 3G hotspots app and patch in one zip to be flashed in clock work. I have found the zip on several different websites but it is either just the apk or when its the apk and patch in one I get the dreaded download unsuccessfull error on my Droid x. I was wondering if using the wUG zip would even work or solve my issue (I'm on omgb for Droid x) and more importantly if someone could either post a direct link that wont download unsuccessful or if its against the rules to pm me the direct link. I've found dropbox links to it but they always freeze.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I do own a 43IT

I love it pretty much

After some reading installing the SDE and custom firmware looks like a good upgrade.

but with the loss of the warranty I would like to know what I would get

better performance??? (ext4, swamp, ...)

root access?? (will allow me to what?) (ok ive read the thread about this :)

how is the stability after this upgrade?

still support flash?

Should I wait Uruk droid 1.5? (how long?)

battery usage? (atm the usage is pretty amazing)

I just wish to know what I get for loosing warranty

Thanks
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
1) Depending what os do you use, with urukdroid and siberes kernel there is huge performance boost;)

2) Depending what os do you use;)

3) same:D i prefer urukdroid:)

4) of course;)

5) you can use the beta3 of 1.5 it is very very stable;):)

6) depending what os do you use and what do you do(overclocking,modules,brightness,bluetooth,wifi,...)

It is the first step to a better device!;)
[Gen8 General] FrEcP:
Aye - agree with lenn - I like urukdroid - on the other hand u should rly know if u need it.

A warrenty void also is bad in several points as some archos devices have frequently problems.

I can't say anything about the 43IT but some archos 101 have problems with:

- dying USB ports

- failure of backlight

....

just what I read about it here.

Anyway as I bought my 101 secound hand I didn't care as i never had warrenty and use Urukdroid ;)

I rly would say - unless u really need some special feature, mass extra space on data partition, or getting bored by you device speed - stick with stock fw (the latest FW 81 isnt that bad in speed either in my opinion - compared to previous ones)

Well 1 last reason for Urukdroid: if u are a playkiddy who always needs the best biggest and greatest like me and propably lenn,.. (sry lenn ;) ) u HAVE to go with urukdroid :D
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
doesn't matter if you have installed SDE or not because it's not related to the hardware issue, Archos will replace your device anyway.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Yep, archos replacement support is great:);)

for example... 2 years ago i had a creative zen, a mp3-player, its good, but one day it was just bricked.. i send it in... wait...wait 6Months!:mad:

Just for a example:)

@FrEcP No problem:D:)
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
got my 101 replaced within a few weeks (even though I opened it once!)
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
It was a toasted usb port, wasnt it?
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
true story :rolleyes:
[Gen8 General] JulsPower:
seem like a good deal

I already have linux knowledge to help :P

is OpenAOS should be also install (act as a bootloader???)
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Just if you want more than Urukdroid and Archos android;) (Cyan,Angstrom,LXDE,...)
[Gen8 General] big ach:
I installed the SDE last week and its like a whole other better world just opened up...

Expanded the app storage on the device...

Running Chainfire 3D to play a ton of awesome games...

Resized the soft buttons bar...
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
For this you need root... not just the SDE;) The SDE just alone doesnt do anything, you need to root by Uruk or chulris method:);)
[Gen8 General] big ach:
Yes I meant - installed the SDE and Rooted! :-D
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Sorry, but i want to clear it for the new users:)

I know;)

But newbies may think that just install the SDE give you root, so...

Hi

I did insall UrukDroid 1.5

work good most of the time

but then I tried to follow that guide about the soft button

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1114069

I did setup adb and ssh (from urukdroid its easy that part)

both way when I try to execute reframe.sh it tell me permission denied (yes i have made it +x)

I have cat the script and executed manually each step

After the reboot it seem to be unable to boot and stay stuck at urukdroid loading screen.

I have to reinstall it to be back on track

anyone know what I did wrong?
[Gen8 General] JulsPower:
Also it seem any camera app stop working

can t use the camera??

any tips on that?
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
You have the 43 right?

on urukdroid 0.7 there was a bug with the hd camera.. sometimes also on 1.0;)

Reinstall uruk.

Or if you are on 1.5 just reboot;) on first boot noone of the cameras (all models) dont work;)
[Gen8 General] JulsPower:
indeed that made it work

and about my reframing issue?
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Did it work before you upgraded to urukdroid 1.5?
[Gen8 General] JulsPower:
I havent tried before

it require rooting to hide soft button

and to change the framework
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Yes i know...

I think the how to just doesnt work on the 43..

There is no UI change from 1.0/1.1 to 1.5 so...;)

I ended up dropping my Desire from about waist height on concrete. The battery had fallen out just a bit but I didn't think it was anything serious.

Put the battery in and it won't get past the HTC boot screen. I can access Recovery, so I re-installed the ROM thinking it could be that.. nope nothing. I formatted data, wiped everything else and re-installed the ROM again and still nothing.

I can access Fastboot and Recovery.. what are my other options as to fix this or why it won't boot past the htc screen? :o

I just tried using Fastboot to replace the radio to the latest and still nothing.. ugh.. this is frustrating!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.c:
Sorry to hear that. What you could try is to replace your SD or check if it hasn't moved from its slot. Alternatively you could try to install a ROM that doesn't use an sd-ext partition. It's a long shot, but you know better if it's worth trying.

I'm not using an SD-EXT partition and the SD card still works as when I boot in to recovery, I can mount it and access it via Windows still.. that's how I installed the new ROM :(

as in you search for something you know is compatible but its not there?

if so (and you are using miks cm7), upgrade to 6.5.7 (its a bug in one of the previous versions)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] atulalvenkar:
Go to Settings > Language & Keyboard > Select language and change the language to English(India). Once done go to androdi market everything should be there. This worked for me in mik6.5.7

thanks for the reply dear. but no I didn't mean searching for any particular app. I meant on launching market app.we get a list of featured applications. there I have no listed apps. otherwise sometimes when I navigate to all applications and then top free apps..I dont see a single free app listed.but surprisingly clicking on top paid app shows the full list surprisingly.

I've looked all over the forums. I am on 4.5.91 and for some reason I still have .15P.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

EDIT:

I downloaded the radio from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1159505

Then I booted my phone into Fastboot, and used "moto-fastboot flash radio radio.img" and it said everything was successful...

But when the phone reboots, it boots first into recovery mode (only on the first reboot), then I choose to "reboot" from recovery mode and the phone boots fine.

The issue is that when I go into About Phone, it still lists 01.77.15P... What am I doing wrong?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpratik:
Do you have tenfar recovery?

If yes then search for sanctions started thread titled fruitcakes.

It has cement flushable radio.

That's how I did my radio upgrade.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun3vi1:
Here they are:

Here are two possible files that you can use to upgrade your radio:

Why it did not work:

radios cannot be flashed using fastboot. To flash the radio you must download it from the site mentioned below and flash it with CWM

What you wanted:

if you want to play it safe you can head on over to: briefmobile.com/alien and click the Radio link by the rest of the downloads, it will download a CWM compatible zip that you can flash. As far as I know, this is just the standard AT&T N_01.77.30P radio. Install "Rom Manager" from the market. This will install CWM. Then select "Reboot into recovery" inside ROM Manager. In the recovery screen, select install zip, and then, install zip from sdcard. Select Radio.zip. Restart you phone and it should work. If you are unfamiliar with CWM, google "Rom Manager."

Better option:

Now, if you want to be a bit more adventurous like me ;) go over to droidmatters.com/news/breaking-motorola-atrix-4g-gets-hsupa-not-from-att/ and pick up the SBF file from there, and flash it with SBF lite. This SBF is actually radio 1.87 and has a significant speed increase. I have used it and noticed an increase in battery life, reception, and speed. However, once or twice, I had a few issues so be sure to back up your phone with CWM first.

To install the radio using this option requires using RSD Lite. RSD Lite is a wonderful tool, but it is not meant to be played with casually. USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION, FOLLOW ALL GUIDELINES, and most importantly:

Do not use RSD Lite AT ALL if you updated to Gingerbread via an OTA update! This WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.

Enjoy!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsylvia007:
I figured out the above (and used CWM to flash the radio).

I now have radio .30P. Depending how this radio works, I might try the newer one you recommended.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] chaoscreater:
Hi all, in a couple of days time I will be receiving my first ever Android device, the Motorola Milestone. I've already done some research on the phone as well as on Android itself, and understood most of the necessary basics. However, there are still many things I don't understand quite yet, and would like some help with clarifying them.

My first question is regarding the custom roms. I myself have been a long time user of Windows Mobile so I know most of the stuff that is relevant to Android as well. From what I know, the bootloader on the Milestone is still locked, but people have found ways to load custom roms on it. Can someone link me to the guide on how to do this? Now before someone tell me to search on the forum or on Google (which I already have), I just want to point out that the ones I found seemed to be outdated, and that they're for older Android versions??

My 2nd question is, do custom roms like IceandFire or Froyomod come with their own custom kernels? Because I want to be able to overclock my phone, and if it comes installed with its own kernel then I don't want to risk bricking it by flashing another kernel on top of it......I hope that makes sense??

3rd question is, which rom is the best for speed and battery? I'm guessing it's IceandFire and it builds upon the latest CM7?

And lastly, are there any crucial apps that you guys recommend I should install, or any tweaks etc I should use?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=983516

This is still the best way to get a custom ROM loaded up onto your phone. What you want to start with is flashing the vulnerable recovery from http://android.doshaska.net/rootable by using RSD Lite. To do so, you need to put the phone into Bootloader mode (power+Dpad-up) You can google RSD Lite, make sure you use the latest version along with the latest USB Driver version from Motorola.

RSD Lite is a very finicky program, if you have any errors flashing, your best bet would be to try this post: http://androidforums.com/droid-all-...hing-process-0x7100-rsd-lite.html#post1274587

Once you flash the VR (vulnerable recovery), you will want to put OpenRecovery on your SD Card. I recommend using OR 1.46 and placing FuFu's minimod on the SD Card as well. It will overwrite existing files in OR (look for it in Milestone Development). From here you can root the phone in OR (by using power+x, then camera+volume up) and reboot, backup all data you want saved, before flashing a ROM.

Once that is done, get the custom ROM that you want (I find speed + battery can be Cronos, CM7 or FroyoMOD for a Froyo ROM) and place it in OpenRecovery/updates. You will also want the most up-to-date version of Google Apps for Cronos or any Gingerbread ROM (except MIUI).

Gapps: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip

Now, turn the phone off, and put it into recovery mode (power+x, then camera+volume up), select apply update.zip and you are now into OpenRecovery.

Here is where you will flash your custom ROM and Gapps. Wipe both cache partition and dalvik cache, then wipe all data. Select Apply Update under Miscellaneous Menu and select the ROM you want. Once it is done, wipe both caches (not data) and flash Gapps. Wipe caches again. Finally, change the baseband to your country and reboot.

The first reboot will take a while, as the ROM is configuring itself for first time use.

That is how to flash a custom ROM and get started.

2- Custom kernels are not available for Milestone, as our bootloader is locked. Overclocking the phone is done through the 10overclock file in system/etc/init.d . All ROMs that I know of are overclock, most to 1GHz (from 550MHz). You will not be able to flash any kernels, and DO NOT try ROM Manager, it will temporarily brick your phone.

Crucial apps, I would say are Root Explorer, TitaniumBackup. Those are the two that are very useful for root users, if you flash multiple ROMs or need to access system files.

Hope this helped.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] chaoscreater:
awesome, thanks for the reply mate!

Hmm 2 things i'm confused with. Isn't there an app called "Milestone Overclock" that lets u overclock without installing custom kernels?

Also, from what I know you need to have the bootloader unlocked in order to install custom roms. I already know that Motorola is still keeping the bootloader locked and that as of now, there isn't a way to unlock it. Then how come we can install custom roms?

Also, since you mentioned ROM Manager, I did a quick search and it seems to be able to manage multiple custom rom installs that you have. But then you said don't try it or it will brick the phone, so I don't understand whether I can install it or not?? Personally, I love testing out different roms as well as new builds. It would be nice to dual boot or choose between different roms to use. But i'm not sure whether I want to go forward with this since your comment implies to me that I shouldn't install Rom Manager?

Lastly, this is the part I found most confusing with Android (or with Windows Mobile as well). I found some guides that tells you to install Clockwork Recovery Mod or something like that. Some of them even mentioned using Nandroid or something. There seems to be different methods & tools/softwares for different devices (or even the same device) and it can be confusing to keep up with them. My question is, are there major differences between them? Which one is better and should I keep them up to date?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
I have tried Milestone Overclock, but I never really used it to overclock the phone. I prefer changing the voltages and speeds with the 10overclock file. If you read the description of Milestone overclock, it "tricks" the kernel into thinking it's supposed to run at a certain speed.

ROM Manager and Clockwork Recovery Mod do not work on Milestone. The only recovery that works with the Milestone is OpenRecovery or Androidiani OpenRecovery. Unfortunately, the only way to flash the ROMs is through OR or AOR, so you will have to repeat the processes every single time. I have gotten used to where all of the options are for FuFu's Minimod, so I am able to do it quite efficiently :D

The best way to backup a ROM, system data and the such is by Nandroid backup. That is the only sort of backup that you can do. It is recommended to do one every time you flash a custom ROM, but I only did it after I rooted and before I flashed my first custom ROM. You can do it through OR. That is the only way that will work. CWM and ROM Manager will just temp brick the phone and you will have to reflash a stock SBF all over again.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] chaoscreater:
i see.....in that case there's no way to install 2 different roms to allow dual booting then? What about the app "Boot Manager", will that work? I found it on this site here:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...ted-user-should-know-about-part-4-apps-26-33/

One last question, I came across this popular app that is recommended by many Android users, called Apps2SD. My understanding to this is that by default, any apps/games that you install on your device will install to the internal memory, and that this Apps2SD app basically lets you install to your memory card? So my question is, does this lag the phone somehow? I like to have many apps and especially games installed on my phone, would doing this affect the performance or something? I know this is the case for Windows Mobile, but not sure about Android.....
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
I follow AndroidPolice as well. I don't know about Boot Manager, I heard about it, but I haven't heard any reviews of it yet.

Two things when it comes to phone storage and apps on the Milestone: Old hardware makes for a lot of games to not work at all, and low phone storage space.

Almost every ROM comes with apps2ext support, which is a more advanced version of Apps2SD. You can follow this tutorial here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10994672&postcount=226

Apps2ext will trick your phone into thinking space on the SD Card (the ext partition) is actually part of the phone's internal memory. You will be able to get a lot more apps on the phone this way.
