I'm leaning that direction... :)

I still have the registration window up... I'm afraid a cookie session will expire... I was crossing my fingers I'd get a quick reply. I think if I keep going back to the previous page I can keep the session alive... :) I'd like to get a consensus though... Odds are they've patched the root exploit, huh?
[Motorola Droid 3] ctheory83:
Eh, maybe. Sometimes the process is so far in the making it could be quite a bit before they would patch that.

I'm sure you'd still get in - they always like to have a certain amount of power users for these things for testing.
[Motorola Droid 3] jthompson0019:
We will have root again if this soak has patched it, it just a matter of time. Plus we can't flash roms yet anyways.
[Motorola Droid 3] ckarrow2:
I backed out... didn't feel the need to be a guinea pig... I'll wait for a custom bootstrap and custom roms/updates.... My D3 is working great as it is.
[Motorola Droid 3] joeyx2:
Looks like im going back to stock tonight cause I just signed up for the soak test yesterday. If I was u I would just ignore the soak test till someone can get a .sbf soon or a update.zip of the soak.
[Motorola Droid 3] limaxray:
I would say that you have rooted and you'll return to stock. I would then clean up /system but not unroot. When the update came down, I would pull it off the device and post it to these here boards.

Well, that's what I would do.
[Motorola Droid 3] ckarrow2:
Yeah, I thought about that... but I didn't want to risk an unrootable phone or something worse... I'm sure they're many other members who'll get it.
[Motorola Droid 3] neilrl79:
I haven't received an invitation yet, hope I do tho. Signed up for it on july 8th.
[Motorola Droid 3] joeyx2:
+1 if u installed the leaked update from earlier then there's really no way to get back to stock is there? So u might as well try to get a new leak out.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Download the soak and upload it, don't flash it.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
This.

...I signed up for this thing too but I haven't heard back from them.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Just got my soak test invite. I lied about root. When I receive it I will not flash it and upload it for you guys if no one else has by then.
[Motorola Droid 3] Darksurf:
Is root really so bad? Isn't moto actually looking for those who root now? Who knows, now that Googorola is the business root may not be so bad. They even state they are looking for those who root or modify the D3. Sadly that can be taken in 2 different ways, but does it always have to be the bad one with moto?

I understand moto can be crooked when it comes to other providers (Tmobile and the cliq), but verizon and moto are the best pair when it comes to getting a powerful phone with fairly good support.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
In the form to accept the soak test it specifically states that if your phone is rooted that you need to unroot it and restore stock apks or the installation will fail or brick. It doesn't say that you can't root, it just says that if you claim your phone is rooted that you will not be a priority to receive the soak because they feel the need to explain how to restore the phone to stock, which takes them more time to receive feedback. So I just said I had not rooted the phone, I don't plan to flash it until I know it's safe for me anyways. I just want to try and get it to someone who might be able to derive some information from it.
[Motorola Droid 3] sic4672:
Caution

Signing up for the soak test may not be such a good idea...

[Motorola Droid 3] jediman:
I got the invite too so we will see what happens. With the d2 soak the other week it took a week to get anything on my wifes phone so I think we will be waiting a while.
[Motorola Droid 3] kshen1:
If the soak is truly the 5.6.890, then it might be. :P
[Motorola Droid 3] somemadcaaant:
I'd say it would be or with very few minor additons, i'd like to think moto wouldn't go out of their way; spend extra time, money and resource patching stuff up for a beta test.

There’s a non vendor stock build (non-VZW) with out the bootloader lock downs and exploit patches running around at Moto somewhere waiting to be found.

-smc
[Motorola Droid 3] kshen1:
Yeah i receieved the email too, but definitely couldn't do it since i'm on 5.6.890 and this could be the next OTA update...(a few dev D3s got the 5.6.890 update about 2-3 weeks ago)
[Motorola Droid 3] stevefxp:
Got my invite yesterday and I plan on taking part. I figured it would be good to see what they have coming down the line, even if I lose root for a period of time.

I hope Moto does more of this, so they can speed fixes to market.
[Galaxy S II General] TECK:
OK, Intratech will label me right away "moron". :D

I'm going to say it anyways, hoping you will chime in some info. A PIT file is basically a set of instructions defining the phone partition layout. Technically, you should use a PIT file if you want to re-partition the phone with Odin. Otherwise, don't use any file... it will keep the current partition in place.

Now, my question is: Why SamFirmware provided the PIT file in their XXKG3 package? How do we determine WHEN a PIT file is needed? And if is never needed, why is that?

I really did not wanted to take any chances and end-up with a bricked phone, so I re-partitioned it based on PIT instructions file for the EU model, which is IDENTICAL to Bell Galaxy S2. In theory I could of skipped the PIT process, since the partitioning scheme was the same.

I used the XXKG3 2.3.4 generic ROM to flash my Bell I9100MUGKG2.

Password: samfirmware.com

1) Odin setup:

Result:

2) Factory reset: *2767*3855#

I would appreciate if some of the big guns would participate in this discussion and clear once for all the PIT mystery. Thank you for reading this.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
No mystery, all the .pit file does is contain the information for the partition layouts for the device... partition information table. You only need this file when repartitioning the device and you don't need to repartition it unless you mess up the partition table to begin with.
[Galaxy S II General] TECK:
Thanks Intratech... so in my case: I could of done the PDA, PHONE and CSC settings while keeping the Re-Partition setting unchecked. All clear and dandy now, much appreciated. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] chrisgtpro:
I promise this is the last of my n00bish questions.

Evo 3d on synergy nightly, rooted via official htcdev.com site, 2.3.4

from what i was understanding PRL versions 21XXX is ok. I have 21081, which is confirmed to be the correct PRL.

my cell service (the number of bars) has been less ever since the flash. has anyone encountered this, and is tehre a fix? I've read through as much as I could and nothing in the searches have pointed me in the right direction. places i usually have full service i get about 3 bars.
[HTC EVO 3D] chrisgtpro:
figured it out. seems like the newer radio does a power saving function. when on a call, signal jumps back up to what it usually is.
[Xoom Accessories] Psychokitty:
I'm looking for the perfect Xoom case (for me).

I want a case that can house the Xoom, Motorola keyboard, Altec Lansing Sound Blade, and assorted small accessories such as a Mojo mini mouse, usb otg cable, stylus, card reader, etc. It can be hard or soft, and I don't want it to be larger than what I need for all those things.

BUT- I want it to have solar panels and a battery that will charge my Xoom & Droid.

I've found one for $600, but I'm not really quite THAT green!

Anyone have such a case? Chime in even if you have a charger (solar) that can fully charge the Xoom. I'm not opposed to buying a solar charger and somehow matting it with the bag.

Next choice would be a stand alone solar charger w/battery that is dimensionally close to the Xoom.

Thanks all.
[Xoom Accessories] Psychokitty:
Also looking at non-solar backup batteries. I would want one that is the same dimensions as the Xoom.

Question: What are the battery specs I'm looking for to fully charge the Xoom? Double what the Xoom's capacity is?
[Xoom Accessories] bundles:
if you can do simple soldering and are proficient in modding you could make a pelican case to suit your needs. pelicans are also water proof. (do not work for pelican, i promise) they come with foam liners you can cut to suit individual items.

i turned one into an all in one 12v powered, ipod, wireless remote system with a headphone jack to plug into a amp on my dinghy so i could use my ijet wireless commander without getting everything wet, and keeping ipod and separate phone and wireless unit powered and charged. was pretty cool cause when i went out in the dinghy all i had to do was plug this box into cig lighter and haedphone jack on amp, and i had a water proof stereo, with wireless remote so i never had to touch ipod. or risk getting wet. ive since dissassembled the setup but i can show you pics of how the pick and pull foam in the box is easy to deal with.
[Xoom Accessories] bundles:
not sure if i can post links, but here is waht i suggest, or something similar

http://www.pelican.com/1075/index.html
[Xoom Accessories] bundles:
also solar panels are not that efficient, the solar panel will be more of a gimmick than anything else, especially if you are charging extra batterys as well, unless you make a mini foldout array, and now it is just getting complicated and unecessary. lithium packs are light, if you look on google you can find slim lithium packs to make a spare external pack, keep in mind you will need to keep the pack at 12v since thats what the xoom charges with. also its important to remember that the xoom uses 12v at 1.5 amp. by comparison thats almost equal to the output of 5 standard apple wall chargers, thats why our xooms charge so quick.. solar panels put out around 7w per square foot at 12v for the affordable panels that you see on peoples roofs, you would need a 4 square foot solar panel to meet the charging requirements of the xoom. so it would just be easier to integrate a beefy lithium pack that you can plug directly into the xoom. a properly sized pack could charge a xoom at least twice without weighing you down too much. of course you need to make sure you have the proper protections in place so you dont over or undercharge the external pack, packs can blow if treated incorrectly as we all know.

sorry about the ramble, sometimes i get carried away.
[Xoom Accessories] Psychokitty:
Thanks for all the input, bundles.

I am a good fabricator, so I may actually adapt something similar to the pelican, fitting it with a solar panel and LiIon battery pack. I know I can't run or charge directly off the solar cell, but the cell can take all day to charge the power pack; -That doesn't matter. Fitting the case together with all the components doesn't bother me, and I solder well (used to be a jeweler). But setting up several batteries in parallel or series, etc, I'm less confident about. Don't wanna burn the Xoom, and I don't wanna start one of those pretty green flamers like the old laptop batteries sometimes did!

I was also hoping to find something that allowed for several different currents/voltages so I could also charge the wife's iPad, our cameras, Droids, etc.

So it looks like the Energizer XP18000 is what I'll get for realtime practical functionality that meets my criterion, but I might make a separate solar cell unit to charge it with in the future.
[Xoom Accessories] bundles:
the one other thing i forgot to mention is leaving a bag out in the sun will get very hot, i wouldnt want to cook my xoom in a solar powered oven of death. when you want to use it, it may be too hot.
[Xoom Accessories] popug:
If looking for solar / power up combo (costs a bit, but panels are amazing, I have the Adventure 10) ... check GoalZero products.

http://www.goalzero.com/shop/c/1/

That links to their power kit list.
[Xoom Accessories] PortableSolar:
if you can charge via your USB port you should also check out PortableSolarPower dot Biz and look at their USB solar charing panels , the 12w USB panel is perfect for the tablets that need 2 amps to recharge.
[Xoom Accessories] terrypearson:
Unfortunately, the Xoom cannot charge via USB.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilstewie23:
Delete.... sorry guys I found my answer.
[Gen8 General] arpruss:
One of the most annoying things to me as a software developer have been negative reviews or posts in forums I don't follow complaining of bugs when the user could have contacted me and I would have fixed the problem quickly. I think it's important to take the time to report bugs, both in software and firmware, to the developer.

For instance, last night I sent to Archos tech support a message about the problem with the OS clamping the clock rate to 800MHz in video players (too fast for some videos and too slow for Netflix). And today they responded:

We'll see if they fix it, but I've done my job here.

I've had a happy experience with Overdrive recently, too. I found a minor bug where the dpad down keystroke was intermittently being ignored. I went to their website, sent them a polite and clear email. They acknowledged, passed it to the development team, and then a couple of days later said that they fixed it for the next release.

I've had similar experiences with a couple of other Android developers. For instance, I reported to Polarbit that one of their apps wasn't showing up on the Market for the Archos Gen8 despite all the hardware being fine. A couple of hours later I got an email from them acknowledging and requesting more information, and within an hour or so, the issue has been fixed. The Moon+ and Mantano developers have been very responsive.

The trick seems to be to write a polite and clear message, with good spelling and grammar (if you're writing from a non-English speaking country, I am sure they will excuse the spelling and grammar), writing in a way that suggests competence. I also often emphasize that I'm a software developer as that helps get me taken more seriously. If you're not a developer but an experienced user, it's worth mentioning that. Offering to test fixes is also a good idea.
[Gen8 General] findusBS:
An excellent article, arpruss. This should make some people thinking about reporting bugs. Even me.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Good!;)

You couldnt ask cajl if he can release this on jbmm.fr ;) he searchs for good news and articles:)

[Xoom General] csseale:
I tried to get a petition going months ago but got bashed out of the forum because people thought it was coming in a couple weeks. Its now been months since.

I was extreme in point out the fact that especially us early adopters who paid a premium price got ripped off dramatically by both companies. Still no 4g half working SD. Etc etc.

We are way past the deadline and it honestly makes me feel good that I was right and all the ones bashing me back then should be very very apologetic. But that's asking way to much for these forums I know.

Moto needs legal action. And a major petition etc etc. We as the consumers should be heard.

Good luck
[Xoom General] alodar1:
Man, I for one am glad you feel vindicated. It must feel great to be that single voice of reason in the 500k or so Xoom owners.

We all know the problems, there is no way to avoid it. This is not a case where some guy can get it working, while another cannot. We are all in the same boat.

I knew within 15 minutes of purchase that something was not right, when what the agent told me did not match up with what Verizon and Motorola were posting online. The situation immediately became, am I happy with what I got, or does it go back. I made my decision and have not looked back.

This is a good tablet for me. I have been extremely happy with it. The point that it can be so much more is an after thought...I don't use this thing to its full potential as it is.

I think more people are upset over principle, you told me this...but it didn't happen. I think holding Verizon accountable for not following through as expected, should be done. At question is how. Petitions in a hacker forum is not the way. Did Verizon lie or cheat? Can you prove it?

How do you hold them accountable? There is only 1 way. With your wallet. Do not purchase from them again. The only thing important here is money. They will listen to money. If you are not willing to back this up with your wallet, your petition will mean nothing.

Verizon is a big bad, mean company, fighting a war with att. Their lawyers are aggressive, mean and rugged. You will not win. But you can spend your $200 a month at tmobile or sprint. Enough people do that, then you win....for now.

Otherwise, I still like my Xoom as it is. It could be better with 4g....but I bought what was in my hands. When it comes to my next purchase, I'll look elsewhere first. Went to look at the Bionic the other day. Rep asked "Get one for you?". I replied, " Sure, as soon as you finish with my Xoom. Until then, I'm spending my $200 at T-Mobile." Then I walked out slowly.

That's my petition.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goodroid:
Hi guys,

I can't seem to get a stable 4G connection on my Epic 4G for some reason. When I toggle the "4G" to "ON", it would connect for a split second and immediately Disconnects and tries to connect again and again. My friend tested his phone (Nexus S 4G) and he connects just fine with data speed of 3,000kbps on Speedtest compared to my miserable 600-700kbps. I've also tried testing this in several different areas including major cities that supposedly cover "4G" and it does the same :(

I'm currently running SRF 1.2 ROM on Genocide 2.0 Kernel but I believe this issue was present even before rooting my phone. I also tried using different modems (EB13, EC05, EE03, EF02, EG22, EH17) but it made almost no difference to my 4G connection.

Does anyone have any suggestion on this??? I would really like to experience my 4G connection on my supposed 4G phone.
