[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwapwap:
I purchased a Motorolla Atrix 4G from eking (a local online store in NZ that seems to have now gone out of business) a couple of months back.

It is a AT&T phone. They have purchased it in the US, and sent to Hong Kong to be ROMed with the HK software rather than using a unlock code. I found this out when I rang them about something else. My problem is that this leaves me in a situation where I don't know exactly what they have done to the phone.

Today I got a message on the phone saying that a system update was available, I assume that this is the gingerbread update that just came out and have read about.

Does anyone know how to tell if it is safe to upgrade? Eking are being douches when I email them saying "I think you’ll have to do the update manually if you want, it won’t work with the automatic update from the moto website. Please be aware there’s risks updating your phone, it might cause system failure"

Model number: MB860

System version: Version4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US

Let me know if there are further specs you need to help me out.
[General Questions and Answers] rootfan:
OK, I have looked on the internet and have not found a clear answer. Is it safe, or even possible to sbf to stock froyo from the official ota android 2.3.3 gingerbread build for the Droid X:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] rootfan:
This thread has been up for a while, and I guess I might as well answer my own problem.maby my question will help others.Yes, you certainly can sbf flash from the gingerbread over the air build on the droid x and numerous other phones to froyo. Another phone is the droid 2 global. You can go from build 4.5.607 gingerbread to 2.4.29 froyo.

sbf stands for super base 95 file I believe

Can anyone with 3G version of the tab check what is shown under Settings > About tablet > Status > Signal strength?

On my device it seems to show the correct value for dBm but the asu shows always 4 (even when Airplane mode is on).

This problem seems to affect Mobile network signal info on battery history sceen also.

I just want to know if all devices have this problem or is it just me.

I attached two sceenshots to show what i'm talking about.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bargie:
sorry, this is a bit unrelated to what you asked and possibly idiotic but where in this world did you get a 3g version of the tab?

thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] frostywinter:
i got my 3g 16g 10.1 in Singapore last week
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] poisike:
I ordered it from http://www.cyberport.de/ but it seems they are also out of stock now.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gohkg76:
My Tab is showing 4 asu in both 3G mode and flight mode. dB is -55dBm on 3G and -113dBm on flight mode which i think is normal/expected.

not sure about asu though.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] willcor:
hi,

i have the 10.1v (3g model ) and Signal strength shows -83dBm , the asu , fluctuates /moves,between 16,15 14 or 13

point ,as i see it,the asu should fluctuate slightly, from time to time ( as signal strength varies ??)

something for nothing !

willcor
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] poisike:
ASU or Active Set Update is an integer value proportional to the received signal strength measured by the mobile phone. So the ASU should change when the dBm changes. On my device the dBm seems to show the correct values, but ASU is stuck at 4. It seems that all European GT10.1 have this issue. It's probably a software issue because the dBm seems to be reported correctly and the ASU value should be calculated.
[HTC Sensation] digitizedremix:
Does anyone experience a pixelated picture when using the stock camera in a low light setting? I find it kind of annoying. The picture during the daytime is great but as it gets darker.... doesn't do so well. Is there a fix for it? Does anyone know if the camera mod fixes this issue??
[HTC Sensation] pokoedge:
try adjusting the ISO settings in the camera app. This is mostly a limitation of the camera sensor on smart phones.
[HTC Sensation] digitizedremix:
it's still pretty pixelated. I'm guessing there's not much more you can do about it since it's a hardware limitation?
[HTC Sensation] Shery4life:
can you take some picture and upload them im gonna do the same and beside i have noticed the same thing. to me it look like the screen is burning and the pixels are shining very bright which make the screen look crap and beside can you try some different camera app from market. try pudding camera the screen look way better than stock.

I plug my Archos 101 into my laptop and copy an unarchived Debian rootfs image to rootfs.img, unmount, unplug and reboot. In the alternative OS menu, I choose Debian and stock Android boots. When I mount the image, it looks fine.

Is AlterntativeOS working in 1.5? If so, where might I be going wrong?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] $aur0n:
Here is howto for Debian in AlternativeOS - i'll prepare Video later.

http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/RM_AlternativeOS_Debian
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pengyo:
Thank you!

I used your updated script with the name deb.boot.

It came up in the boot screen, but the behavior was the same.

No log output was generated in the AlternativeOS directory.

I also tried creating /mnt/card, which did not exist, and

changing the device name to /dev/block/vold/179:9 which is

what 'mount' reports for the partition mounted on /mnt/storage that

contains the image.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] $aur0n:
Here is (crappy I know - sorry ;) ) video how bootup looks like

[YOUTUBE]wKcYPPl26YA[/YOUTUBE]
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pengyo:
The video helps, thank you. When I take the same steps, my

system passes through the 'booting' screen much faster and

goes to Android.

Here is something from dmesg that may be related:

EXT4-fs: mmcblk2p1: Filesystem with huge files cannot be mounted read-write without CONFIG_LBD.

I am running Urukdroid 1.5 upgraded in the default ways from 1.0 that

was installed without incident using simple install. My SD card is a 16G PNY type 4 card,

which has been dreadfully slow and on which iobench hangs at 52%. This also

causes many aplications to trigger the 'kill or wait' dialogue (the applications

generally respond if I wait).

EDIT:

I flashed the 1.5 kernel and initramfs.

I tried the following from the post on booting Urukdroid from openAOS BootMenu:

"you may have to disable huge_file on your ext4 partition/file using tune2fs -O ^huge_file yourfile.img or /dev/yourpartition"

and I tried preceeding my device name with

/dev , /dev/block, and /dev/block/vold

Still no success, and no log output.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] $aur0n:
Probably you have formatted this partition manually - with huge_files options, do it again without it.

Debian AlterntiveOS fails in Uruk 1.5

Hello at all,

my Archos device is a Archos 70 IT with 250GB hard drive, without SD card.

Have according to instructions from $aur0n repartitioned the hdd, extra partition created for the image files.

According to fdisk it is /dev/sda4, but I can not mount.

mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/card

(mount: special device /dev/sda4 does not exist)

When I mount the device with mount /dev/block/sda4 /mnt/card, I can access it.

The Problem is the same.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrEcP:
k - i join in ;)

tried the same with openAOS

used the script from http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/RM_AlternativeOS_Debian (copy & paste) all I edited was rootfs.img -> openAOS.img

mkdir /mnt/card

rm /AlternativeOS/debug.txt

chmod 777 /AlternativeOS/openAOS.boot

openAOS.img is in root for SDCard -> mnt/storage/sdcard/openAOS.img

tried to boot (rescure menu -> select openAOS) -> short white bootup dialog of AlternativeOS (openAOS) -> blackscreen -> reboot (will boot stock FW) -> no debug.txt created

tried again with creating debug.txt again (with vi empty file :wq)

chmod 666 debug.txt

-> same as above nothing in debug.txt
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] $aur0n:
This is not required - since it's /mnt/card on initramfs (and there is this directory).

About debug.txt - I'll add more debug information and put new package.

edit: Your problem (lack of debug.txt) is because device reboot itself before it finish writing to disk... So either give "sync" after every command - or remove for a while "switch" - which cause device to reboot.

Anyway I'll modified initramfs and script to be more user friendly - I'll publish it soon...

Then the umount commands close with another line of different output:

It seems the problem is at the switch_root command. It gives a usage

or the init.

This is the problem (not switch root). Mount failed. Mount returned 563 output - and should 0. That's why switch_root is even not executed.
