[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankus0512:
Thank you so much again Matthew5025! :D

Final question - ROM, you mentioned it's like an OS.

After the bootloader has been unlocked - I found out that the SBF with pudding contains certain *.img only - can I flash any ROM that is posted here? I know there are different ways to apply a ROM out there, but I'm guessing all a ROM flash does is change the root.img and the system.img for their respective partitions? It doesn't touch anything on the radio side or anything else, right?

Reason I ask is so that I can keep using multiple SIM since the phone is not carrier locked - I travel quite a bit - whenever I'm in different countries (just need to set the APN in there).

Thank you so much once again!!!

Cheers.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthew5025:
I don't actually quite understanding what you are trying to say =(

SBF is not a ROM

Yes you can flash any ROM made for the international atrix. It's always good practice to red the specific ROM threads for more info on the specific ROMS.

Actually, a ROM changes your system partition and alot more. As before, different ROMs change different things and you should always refer back to specific ROM pages on what a specific ROM might change.

Although it is possible for a ROM to modify your radio and kernel, moet developer require you to do it yourself.

Get an international kernel/radio and it should work!

They normally only give out test devices to blogs and review sites. Giving you a test device isn't going to do them any good. You need experience to properly beta test and report issues on the device, or market exposure to be able to give them publicity in return for the free device. That's why normally, only people who work at the testing facilities, and big blogs and review sites get free junk. They provide a service in return for the free stuff.

Your family and friends can't compete with the exposure a site like CNET gets. Unless you have 100,000 friends to share with, I doubt they'd even consider it. It couldn't hurt to try, though. I'd imagine you would need to contact their marketing department.

Also, try to wait more than an hour before bumping your own thread. This isn't a support hotline.

Well, I've done it after all, more by guessing.

On step 3, you must select FXX_PR3_NV, wait for SUT1.75 to finish till "Task 2 from 2 is completed"

Step 4 does nothing, on cmd you get "adb" is not recognised. So you must run adb.exe from Root D# folder. After that run RootD3 (!!!). Your phone might not restart, so unplug and plug the usb cable if necesary (untill you get "You should be good now" and the cmd windows closes by itself.). Then run SuperOneClik, click on root, it will take a few second, you will get "Device rooted" or something (I'm saying all this from memory), and that's all. You will find the "skull" (wich is more like an dead android figure) on the menu.

Motorola XT530 root

I have the following questions

- How to enter recovery mode for this device?

- Has anyone rooted their device successfully?

- Will

adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2

work?

Thanks,

ARK
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savysb:
...

@arkfirext:

- I have rooted my XT311 using this method

- command "adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2" works, now I have (almost) all my apps on sdcard. This only works after root, and I recomend that you use a big sdcard (at least 4GB) so you don't have to remove it from the phone very often.

Here is how you set default install location to sd card:

First you have to enable USB debugging on your Android device from Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging.

Now you need to download and install the Android SDK on your computer from developer.android.com/sdk. Once you’ve downloaded and extracted the package to the folder of your choice, run SDK Setup.exe and click on Available Packages to the left. If you get an error message at this point, enable “Force ht t ps:/ /…” in the Settings. From the list of available packages, select “Usb Driver package”, click on the Install Selected button in the bottom right corner and follow the prompts.

Connect your phone to your computer with a USB-cable. Your OS will prompt you to install new drivers. Choose to install them from the android-sdk/usb_driver folder. Do not mount your device; you only need to plug-in the cable.

Next, run a command prompt and navigate to the Android-SDK\tools folder. In Windows, this is done by selecting Run from the Start Menu (or by pressing Win+R) and typing cmd. You change drives in the command prompt by entering the drive letter followed by a colon (:), and change folders with the CD command. For example, to enter the Android-SDK folder, simply type cd android-sdk.

In the Android-SDK\tools folder, type in adb devices and you should get a serial number starting with “H” in return. All you have to do next is entering adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2. Voilà, you’re done! Android will now install apps to the SD card by default.

To switch back to storing software on the internal memory, enter adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0.
