[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panflute:
The Atrix screen is beautiful. Try getting the black wallpaper from the market. Some people say movies look bad. People play the wrong movies. Get Moboplayer and a hi res 720 movie. The screen and colors are again beautiful. The only issue with the screen is it is not good in daylight. Set the brightness to 60 or 70....this phone amazes me every day.

Hello everybody! Like the title says, I just got my TF101 2 days ago. I immediately came to look for the rooting process but not being very savy in the whole ADB process I was intimidated quite a bit. I ran into the whole B70 deal so I did a little research on XDA/Google and I have a B80 model. Am I to understand that I should just wait for an updated root process or am I missing something here?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
Ya you will just have to wait. if you can exchange it for a b60 then you can get on with it but if not you will have to wait. b80 just means it was made in august
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RainCrow:
Hey Hunter,

Same boat as you. I must have sunk 6 hours into trying to root it until I finally realized that was the problem I was running into (made me feel like such a huge n00b-c4nn0n lo). Basically, the nvflash method fails for me everytime and I always get an error that says something like "failed to write to USB". Similar for you?

Is it true that i will loose OTA updates?

I just got used to the honeycomb interface so im not in the mood of installing a custom ROM yet, i just want to have root in order to install certain apps that requiere root.

Thanks in advance!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rackers:
You will loose OTA updates but the interface won't really change, it'll just speed up!

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otgwindow:
I am running Revolver and everytime i reboot or go into recovery when it reboots. i get a blank screen exept for the bottom bar. I have to do full factory restore to get it running. Nandroid backups are the same. I installed the storage eather apk and it shows no boot image. I came from rooted 3.1 and when i updated to 3.2 i have had this problem. My tablet works fine it is just if i do anything where i have to shut down i have to do full install. What can i do? Thanks.( Update installed Prime 1.8.4 can now go into recovery and flash without reinstalling everything again.)

As the title states.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Some codes, such as older Nokia and BlackBerry codes, can be calculated using an algorithm so those codes are very cheap; typically $1.00. Other codes are obtained by paying people that work inside various carriers, manufacturers, etc. who have access to the IMEI/Unlock Code databases to basically steal the codes. It is technically an unauthorized access and occasionally people get fired, but for the most part they are looking up so many legitimate codes anyway, they can slip in the requests for the unlockers and get away with it. Other databases, usually older but sometimes current data as well, the unlockers (wholesalers) have obtained the entire database through gray channels. When they have the database, codes are typically obtained instantaneously and that is why eBay sellers (resellers who buy codes from the wholesalers) can respond within one working hour of your purchasing the code. The cost of obtaining the code through their various channels determines the price you pay as a consumer. For example, AT&T codes are cheaper than T-Mobile codes, and LG codes are relatively cheap. While Sony Ericsson codes take up to a week or longer and are far more expensive than other codes. I got my G2X code for $2.99 off eBay and I am now using my phone in Thailand with no problems. I have purchased over ten unlock codes from various eBay resellers and they have worked every time, the first time I have entered them (I enter them very carefully to make sure I don't make a mistake). If you have a Galaxy S phone, the code can actually be obtained free by reading a file from the phone and extracting the unlock code from it.

Wow! Thanks for all of the information! Very interesting.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jimlmackjr:
I am able to upgrade my Captivate the 2 options i am looking at is the Samsung Infuse or the Motorola Astrix

I like my Captivate so moving to the infuse would be natural

but the Astrix has some nice reviews also both are 4G but if i was to Root it which would give me the better options

thanks

any info would be great no matter how minor
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nickn850:
seriously.. there are like 20 of these threads already.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
Wait two weeks and ask again

There is a reason why all of atts 4g phones were discounted this week
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
the infuse probably, well the atrix has been rooted and the webtop replaced with linux which is cool but the infuse is way easier and you have the ability to flash roms. motorolas locked bootloaders make things difficult for development but that's not to say there is none.

there is also this. the thrill and the attain should also be considered since they are on there way.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Eddie Bombay:
From someone who has both phones the only reason I chose the infuse was because of the 4.5" screen. You really need to rom your phone to make it perform well and even then you will have moments whet the phone will freeze if you are doing

a ton of things at once. other then that its a pretty sweet phone. I was just a sucker for the 4.5" screen on the infuse. although the atrix has a 4 inch screen the phone is a power house. ever since the latest update on the atrix if size doesn't meter to you id go with the atrix. It just feels better in your hand whenever I'm walking down main street using my infuse I'm afraid I'm gonna drop it when I use it with one hand swyping. Then again I'm only 5'9. I also miss the battery life of the atrix but I'm on infused rom so it isn't that noticeable. If you are a fan of roms cm7 beta 2 is out for the atrix now.

I'd still go with the infuse because the 4.5"screen is just so much easier for me as far as texting on my phone.no need to turn the phone sideways to text 70 wpm is a big plus your me. I've never been a fan is typing in landscape mode.

[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Hey! I posted this in the Evo 3D general section instead of Q&A so people know about the problems I've been having.

When I got my first Evo 3D, I was pretty happy with it until a day later when I noticed there were 2 dead pixels and a piece of dust under the screen. I thought that was the only Evo 3D with problems and I was unlucky. I just went back to the bestbuy I got it from and they replaced it with another Evo 3D.

My replacement was working perfectly until 2 days later when I noticed the screen was tilted a bit to right. (Instead of | |, the screen was more like / /) It was tilted a small, but noticeable amount. It would especially be noticable when watching a movie or looking at a picture when the phone is sideways.

After reading up on all the problems people were having with this phone, I decided that if I replaced it a 3rd time then it would have some other problem and I'd need it replaced again. I don't think the people at bestbuy will be too happy if I keep getting replacements and I am thinking I should just get it refunded and by a galaxy S 2.

What are your thoughts? Should I get a refund are get it replaced?
[HTC EVO 3D] derekfaircloth:
If you like the 3d exchange it til you get the right one. Inspect it thoroughly before you leave the store. I had to exchange my first one but so far my 2nd one is perfectly fine. The s2 is nice too no doubt but go with what you really want in the end exchanges or not

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jkusmc:
I recently just got rid of my Mytouch 4g, which had HORRIBLE reception with wifi calling. I had the phone replaced 3 times from T-mobile before finally giving up. Does anyone use wifi calling with the G2X on a regular basis? I know with my wife's sidekick 4g, the wifi calling is flawless and is just as clear as talking with a full signal. I am looking at picking up a G2X soon, but am really hesitant since I have NO signal at my house, and am not sure the quality of wifi calling with this phone. Thanks for any input.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DustyVV:
I also have horrible reception at my house, so I use wifi calling all the time. I haven't had any issues with it on my G2X, and haven't heard any complaints from people on the other end.

You still have to have a connection to Tmo. If your phone says "no service," the wifi app will not connect. I'm assuming though, that if your wife's phone connects, the G2X should as well. I put off getting an Android phone, until they got wifi calling. I cannot live w/o it lol. Losing the wifi calling is one of my "Top 5 fears of an AT&T takeover."

My first G2X had major issues, and the wifi and wifi calling wouldn't work at all (it said it was connected, but it wasn't). So, if you DO have issues, try getting a replacement.

Good Luck. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jkusmc:
Thanks much. That's what I needed to hear.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] grenademasta:
my wifi calling works fine. Can barely tell the difference between the two. The blue icon turns green when you are using it.

Most important thing is that make sure free wifi calling is included in your plan. Otherwise, 1 hour of wifi calling will subtract 60 mins from your plan. If you have unlimited talk you shouldn't worry.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jkusmc:
I just picked it up today, and wifi calling is perfect. Thanks for the input folks.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heihei_ivan:
Hi there,

My Xperia Arc cannot scan and discover any WiFi networks after upgrading to 4.0.A.2.368 fimware. At first I was upgrading from 3.0.1.A.0.145 using over-the-air upgrade. Then I tried to flash the ROM back to 3.0.A.2.181, using FlashTool, and then upgraded to 4.0 using over-the-air upgrade, but this didn't help. I also tried to flash the stock rom of 4.0.A.2.368 fimware using WotanClient, but WiFi still didn't work. The WiFi connect of my xperia arc works perfect before the 4.0.A.2.368 fimware, so what can I do? Can anyone please help? :(

Doubleshot​

Virtuous Doubleshot is a port of the ROM from the MyTouch 4G Slide, which features a custom version of Sense 3.0. It is based on the final/official base (Doubleshot_TMOUS_1.28.531.9). The custom Sense variant featured in this ROM is called Espresso, which is quite different visually from standard Sense UI. Additionally, the MT4G Slide is a WVGA device, meaning no re-sizing was needed.

Screenshots

​

Features

Based on the official MyTouch 4G Slide shipping ROM (Doubleshot_TMOUS_1.28.531.9).

Native rotating Rosie (launcher) support. (Vision only)

Ported for full functionality on each supported device.

Heavily optimized for fluid performance and usability.

Overclocked kernels with numerous additional kernel modules.

Built-in screen state frequency scaling (1Ghz-245MHz/ondemand screen-on, 806Mhz-245Mz/conservative screen-off), via custom built Virtuous_OC C daemon.

Trackpad wake support (DesireZ/G2 and MT4G only).

WiFi calling (T-Mobile USA only).

Fully functional device hardware, including wifi, bluetooth, camera, camcorder, etc.

Market-sourced applications (Gmail, Maps, Voice, etc) automatically installed on first boot into /data/app for easy removal.

Bloatware and unnecessary applications removed.

Supported Devices

myTouch 4G

Desire Z / T-Mobile G2

Porting Information and Credits

Virtuous Doubleshot, or any components therein, may not be ported to other devices without explicit email approval from the development team. We will be approving ports, presuming the develop of a given port is ready and willing to follow the same revision control and release processes currently employed existing devices.

Important Notes

For Vision users,

the Desire Z hboot is REQUIRED

. Rmk has written a guide for G2 users who need to make this transition.

If you are experiencing random freezes and/or reboots, this is likely due to your device being incapable of handling our overclocking defaults. Download and apply this flashable patch, which will reduce the maximum CPU frequency to 1Ghz and likely eliminate this issue.

You must complete a full wipe prior to installing this ROM the first time. We also recommend wiping between upgrades, but you are welcome to try upgrading without a wipe. However, no support will be provided if you file a bug without having wiped prior to submission.

Disconnect your USB cable prior to the first boot, otherwise the Market apps do not install. This is because the default USB connection mode is "Disk Drive". We will resolve this issue in a future release.

My phone says Locked, but also S-off, if I go into recovery I get the twrp menu, which all I did with was use the backup option.Did the OTA to 2.08.651.2 totally screw me. How can it be locked but s-off at the same time? Can I still root this phone? And now for my dumbest noob question, if i can root, how do I install/flash a ROM?

Please help if possible, thanks in advance and also thanks to all at revolutionary and XDA for taking the time and using your skills to help so many.
[HTC EVO 3D] cruise350:
Your good to go, now you need to install a custom recovery. 2 options are TWRP or CWM. Visit the developer section and download one of them. Most people like TWRP. Follow the instructions and once you have recovery installed you can flash the superuser files and you will be good to go.
[HTC EVO 3D] steam374:
Whats a good 2.3.4 rom that has somewhat good battery life, One that is very fast gets good linepack/Quadrant scores, And lastly a rom in 2.3.4 that is stable.

If anyone could point me towards a Rom like this it would be very much appreciated. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] empiire:
I wouldn't use a 2.3.4 ROM yet, not all the kernels are compatible with it. It could bork WiFi, camera, etc., since the kernel source for 2.3.4 hasn't been released by HTC yet. Also, there isn't much of a difference if you're just gonna be running a custom ROM on it. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] steam374:
Alright thanks for the tip (: so right now I'm on the stock 2.3.4 rooted ROM I can just convert back to a 2.3.3 ROM without any issues if I'm correct?

First why does everyone hate Apple?

Second in Heimdall it says primary bootloader and secondary bootloader. What does that mean and if I flash a Gingerbread bootloader and a Froyo bootloader or 2 Gingerbread Bootloaders will it mess my phone up?

[Vibrant General] jneal9:
That is where you place the Sbl.bin and boot.bin bootloader files when flashing. DO NOT mix the Froyo and Gingerbread Sbl.bin and boot.bin files together in a flash. You will hard brick. Only flash straight Ginger or straight Froyo bootloaders. Or if you are unsure what they are you most likely don't need to mess with them.

[Nook Color General] WWWestonC:
Could someone point me toward a guide that include the step by step instructions on how to reformat your microSD card after a CWM image has been burnt onto it to get it back to it's original size/recognizable in the Nook/PC.

This to me is the most frustrating part of loading ROMs on the Nook and I don't believe it's laid out step by step in any guides. They simply leave it at downloading a partition manager software tool, but not what do to within that tool.

Thanks!
[Nook Color General] xdajunkman:
I would actually recommend just buying a cheap card that you use just for flashing images. Rather than backing up, image burning, then reformatting your card each time you want to do something in CWM, spend the $6 online and buy a cheap 2GB card that you use only for this purpose. I know it isn't required, but I still use a bootable SD card with CWM recovery on it to flash new nightlies or really anything else.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but it is my solution to this problem.
[Nook Color General] patruns:
While I agree you should consider a new card in case things ever go south, you should be able to put it into a card reader and format it with Windows. You can also wait until the NC is booted up and then insert the card and format it with the NC.
[Nook Color General] WWWestonC:
I actually do have a dedicated cheap card with CWM loaded on it. The problem I ran into this time was that someone had approached me with a stock nook wanting a ROM loaded onto it. So I needed yet another card to burn a root image onto. So I was stuck having to burn that image on an 8GB not so cheap card and then could never get it back to 8GB or recognizable in my PC/Nook by using various software packages.

It also causes all sorts of FCs when inserted into the Nook running MIUI. Once it's removed they go away.

Regardless, if anyone knows of a guide or the steps to doing so that actually works, it would be appreciated and I have to imagine I'm not the only one who runs into this extremely frustrating issue.
[Nook Color General] freonchill:
i could be wrong

but cant you boot into default nook, not booting off the microSD card and reformat the microSD card?

even if you rooted/formatted the built-in memory for android/cm7 over the nook color OS, you should be able to format the card.

the other question that i have the the OP

have you tried to access the card from all os (win, mac, linux) both through a usb adapter and through the nook directly connected to the pc/mac?
[Nook Color General] patruns:
I have not had that issue with either a USB card reader or with the Nook. Do you have access to a camera that uses micro SDHC cards? You can usually format it there as well. After that, Windows should recognize the card in a reader and let you delete any folders the camera placed on it.
[Nook Color General] cdaters:
I think we need a little more information about what you are trying to achieve?

If you are looking to get your uSD back to its "fresh off the rack from the store" state, the easiest thing to do would be to just use your NC to reformat the card from within it's "Settings" area.

But, if you have loaded CM7 (or whichever ROM) onto the eMMC of your nook, then you would need to use Android's tools to do this.

When using an imaging tool to prepare the uSD, I would recommend Image Writer for Windows to write your ROM images to the uSD. It is pretty easy to use, and way better than WinImage. Use the 0.3 (Lost) release.

In my case, I just used verygreens solution of installing CM7 to my uSD, it is a one time set up and I only have to drop new nightlies onto the /boot partition whenever I want to upgrade (which is everytime a new nightly comes out, heh). I never take my uSD out of the NC anymore.

If you are looking to repartition your uSD card to get a bigger /boot partition so you can rest assured that the bigger nightlies will fit (essential if you have alternate image and ramdisk files for the alternate boot scenario), then I would follow this post in verygreen's guide.
[Nook Color General] WWWestonC:
In response to some of the questions, I am trying to get my SD card back to off the shelf so it can be used in the Nook for storage.

I have not tried on another OS to format the card. I only have Windows XP on my laptop. I could try on my Windows 7 desktop but would be very surprised if that solves the issue. I cannot see it when it is plugged in via USB adapter to my PC.

I have MIUI 1.7.22 ROM loaded on the eMMC of my Nook and using Android's format option does not work as it is greyed out.

Nothing recognizes it except for Easus Partition Manager, but I've tried everything under the sun (Deleting Partition/Wiping Partition/Assigning Drive Letter/Increasing size) and can't get it to return to a usable state.
