I just did that, but when I set my device back up from scratch, it still didn't work. My "game" and "homebrew" tabs were left over from before, and I'm sure everything else was too, but "hidden".

installed govnah, and it said I was running at 1.7, meaning that my install of the Warthog kernel stayed after my full erase.
[TouchPad General] SpikeyPsyche:
Full Erase is not enough, you need to doctor your 'pad in order to restore the OS to factory defaults.

Full Erase only erases the user data area, it does not touch the system area, which is where OS patches are installed.

Doctoring a 'pad is the only way to completely restore the entire solid state drive, and thus the device, to stock default.
[TouchPad General] samleung:
Okay I doctored it, and now it works. Interestingly, my Game and Homebrew tabs are still here!
[TouchPad General] SpikeyPsyche:
That's quite interesting. From my understanding of the doctoring process that shouldn't have persisted. Apparently doctoring a 'pad isn't quite as through as I had been led to believe.
[TouchPad General] ericdabbs:
It wasn't necessary to doctor it because a full erase was good enough for me to work and was confirmed by other ppl that ran into the same issue. The other step that you had to do was to remove the email accounts and recreate them. I even have the 3.0.2.21 muffle system logging patch installed right now and my email is working fine.
[TouchPad General] Rennoc:
This is what worked for me:

1) Uninstall Muffle

2) Reboot

3) Remove mail accounts

4) Reboot

5) Connect using WebOSQuickInstall-4.2.3

6) Go to Tools, Linux Commandline

7) Paste in "find /var/file-cache -type f -mtime -7 -exec rm -f {} \;" minus quotes

8) Reboot

I'm leaving Muffle off until this issue is resolved.

** There is a chance that you may have to Dr. your Touchpad after this, some people claim to have had issues. I accept no responsibility for damages.
[TouchPad General] eltee:
Is there even a point to muffle beyond what you can already do with ##logs# ? That pretty much shuts down the entire non-error logging system doesn't it?
[TouchPad General] Rennoc:
From what I understand, setting logging to minimal doesn't go as far as Muffle does. I believe Muffle disables all logging sans critical system logs.

I could be wrong, just pulling from memory.
[TouchPad General] samleung:
What's ##logs#? I'm skeptical of using muffle again.

I full wiped my device 3 times and it still didn't work despite my following every step. My touchpad must be weird- I had my "Game" and "Homebrew" tabs left over even after a doctor.
[TouchPad General] twe69:
Arent you meant to do a Reset of the device first which wipes the memory.... Then use the WEBOS Doctor? At least the tutorials I read said that....
[TouchPad General] jomaxwel:
I just doctored mine and it got rid of everything. Now just running minimal patches and uberkernel. Fine for now till cm7 comes out.

[Atrix 4G General] Mk_pt:
I was trying to keep my HTC hero g2 touch more time but i've read about Atrix and it seems a amazing device with everything i need in a new android:

- full Hd decode

- good battery

- good gps

- good screen/resolution

- 'raw power' for future apps/games

- hdmi out

- good 'media center' with HD Media Dock

But it will be expensive for me to buy this phone - i'll order a unlocked Atrix from UK because in my country there isn't motorolas available. And the cheapest dual core Android here [LG optimus 2x] is locked to a carrier and almost the same price as a unlocked Atrix in UK.

So i would like to get some feedback about some issues i found reading some reviews and the Atrix XDA foruns:

- I've read that there are problems reading some HD movies/file formats.

This is a big issue for me, i don't want to watch movies on Atrix, but i want to use it as a media center, connected on HD media dock or directly to tv with hdmi cable.

Is it possible to see 1080p MKV [with DTS sound] movies?

- It's easy to unlock the phone bootloader and find rom's/kernel's/radio's for international Atrix? I found a lot of information but most are for at&t or bell, not international model...

- i think there are no cheap/low cost but reliable battery to use as second battery, so i guess if i want a second battery i need to order a original motorola battery, right?

My Hero is old but with elelinux roms and latest kernel is fast.. except for games.. :D .. But the main reason to buy a new Android is movie playback..

And i don't want to stick in a single core [720p capable..] Android, if i order a Atrix is for keep at least 2 years..

Thanks for the help in advance..

And sorry for any english mistakes..

:)

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] King_MSD:
I cant answer all your questions but i can answer a few.

Im not sure about the MKV currently.

The "Bell" Atrix is an international version, so everything compatable with that will be good for your phone.

Any Rom made for the atrix is available on both versions(AT&T/Internationa) but to prevent a RAM issue a different kernal will normally have to be installed, I use Faux123 0.1.9 1.3ghz kernal which is unified for all devices.

I didnt come across a cheap second battery so i purchased a second motorola battery for about £20.00 which i thought was a good deal in the end.

Hope that helps
[Atrix 4G General] Mk_pt:
Thanks for your reply.

It helps to answer some of my doubts.

About the battery, £20.00 it's not expensive for a quality and good in mAh like the Atrix battery is, so when i order a Atrix i'll order the 2º battery [and media HD dock..] too.

About the roms, that's good to know.

But just one more question:

From what i understand, for a international Atrix [to use in Portugal - gsm, umts/hsdpa] i can use radios for the Bell [wich i think is a Canadian carrier], right?

This is important because radios affects not only the reception but also the battery life.

I would be grateful if someone could help with the MKV question.

As i said i want to use the phone as a media center - i want the Atrix to playback movies from the pc/nas or from the internal/sd storage..
[Atrix 4G General] creativedevil:
On an Atrix 4G, you do get all of these you mentioned.

- full Hd decode

- good battery

- good gps

- good screen/resolution

- 'raw power' for future apps/games

- hdmi out

- good 'media center' with HD Media Dock

There are HD Games out and I have played them on my phone, and man should I not even think of complaining about this phone. When it comes to RAW power, this phone is a beast unleashed. 1GHz DC Processor really pulls out everything to display graphics at its best, and with 1930mAH battery, it is easy to pull a day worth of usage with considerably heavy usage.

.mkv files are playable or not, I can confirm when I get home tonight. I have never tried, so can't answer certainly. To find out which formats are supported, check it here. http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_atrix_4g-3708.php. I have tried .avi file and it certainly works.

To unlock the bootloader, as "King_MSD" mentioned in his answer, yes, it is fairly easy if you follow the instructions properly. If not, you will end up screwing up your phone. Follow instructions here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136261.

For me, this is more easier to follow. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1167373

I am pretty sure you can use different Radios on your international phone, just make sure, if there is any problems, you always have backed up your original files, so that incase if you need to fallback, you aren't out of luck.

To me, the best ROM i have used on my Atrix is AURA, with latest Build # 8, that phone is just flying. You would want to give it a shot once you get it.

You mentioned, you wanted to get a phone which would last you next 2 years, looking at what you have now, man, you should be easily getting 2 years out of this beast at least. This phone's processor is easily the best out there, looking at the trend, I don't feel an urge to upgrade to something more powerful in near future.

One thing you would want to notice, imo, phone gets hot at times, what I have noticed is when you don't use the default radio came with your phone, this happens. Even with AURA or Alien or any other ROM(they are all AT&T based ROMS and my phone is from Bell), so when I tried Bell Radio, I literally feel a huge difference and my phone is never hot anymore.

I have used Faux123's kernel and it makes this phone even faster, you would say this phone doesn't know a word, "LAG". It not only makes the phone faster, but also eliminates the reception issue. It should work fine for you.

Even if you stayed stock with Unlocked Bootloader and SuperUser Installed with LauncherPro on top, you would not regret owning this phone.

Good Luck.

Cheers!!!

Edit : Didn't need to wait till night to find out if .mkv file works or not. Found one on my laptop, tried on my Atrix, Good news is that it definitely works. You are in luck my friend.
[Atrix 4G General] Mk_pt:
Great Post! :)

Thank you!

I already knew that Atrix [and other dual core Android's] run 1080p movies but I read there were some issues in some codecs/containers..

It was just to be sure because it's one main feature for my future phone.

I think that Nvidia has done a very good job with Tegra 2 SoC.. Plus the very good battery and other Motorola choices for this is device.. is realy a beast and a complete smartphone.

Thanks again..

[Atrix 4G General] juami:
If you want to play H.264 high profile movie,

DO NOT BUY Tegra2

based devices.

common 1080p(BDRips) are MKV(Container)+H.264 High@4.x~5.x+DTS/AC3 audio.

Tegra2 have hw limitations to play H.264 High profile.

My recommendations are

1. SGS2 : 1080p/1080i(it can de-interlace with HW)

2. Sensation(or Dualcore Snapdragon equipped devices) : 1080p capable but some shutter occur when you playing high bitrate movies.

3. Galaxy Tab(7inch) : can play 1080p

MKV container and DTS issues can be solved with Diceplayer.
[Atrix 4G General] ninhalo:
or you could just flash a ROM which enables 1080p on the ATRIX.
[Atrix 4G General] Mk_pt:
After juami and ninhalo post's i google about possible Tegra 2 limitations playing H264 High profile..

Well, it seems that Juami is correct, Tegra 2 are limited in 1080p h264 to low profile wich is not a usual encode.

I already had added to cart on online retailer one Atrix and a HD media dock but i waited a bit longer for more replys in this post before the checkout and payment... And juami saved me.. :)

I don't know much about movie file formats/codec's/containers so i didn't know how to search..

So i'll keep my old Hero until Motorola [Atrix 2/Tegra 3?] or HTC have a full capable 1080p device [and a screen with 3.8' or 4']. 4' screen for me is a little too big for me but acceptable.. Galaxy S II is way too big for a..'phone'..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mypcool:
So I'm a noob to this whole rom thing and i think that i am in over my head...

first i rooted using GingerBreak-v1.20.apk and not knowing what i was doing deleted some of the bloat (games). When I tried to do the bell gingerbread ota update i got the error. I tried to re install them but it didn't work.

So i decided to try to rom my phone. :p

First i unlocked using the Bell_Ihop from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136261 which worked...

I then flashed a rom from ROM manager. It was ninja v0.3.4 (i think). It worked but i got a grey ? battery error... I didnt realize and my battery ran down. And while i cant be 100% sure yet i dont think my battery works any more (is that possible)

so i posted a Q on the forums and got an answer here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1251529

I borrowed a battery which let me turn on my phone but was still unknown...

I followed his answer and did a wipe. I decided i wanted alien so i flashed tanfer cmw recovery and flashed alien using that.

and I got stuck on the boot screen

so i did a wipe again and tried to reboot to bell stock2.2.2 and got an error so i did a reboot and i guess that the stock managed to reinstall the regular recovery..

and im still stuck on the reboot page...

so my question is I cant do anything cuz my battery doesnt work so i cant reflash cmw and I dont know anyone with an atrix to get a battery from (im pretty sure i outstayed my welcome in my local bell store, thats where i did all this)

Is there anyone in toronto that would fix this for me, i need this phone and i would pay for someone to do it for me cuz i cant do anything myself!! (And I'm a noob)

Thanks in advace...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
first off, use this to charge your battery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDtv7qKf8tQ

after you get a charge on your battery again, go into CWM and clear Data/Cache, and then go into Advanced Options and clear your Dalvik Cache.

after that, flash any ROM and try to boot up. if you get stuck into a bootloop, post back here and let us know.

you'll need to flash CWM again using Fastboot, i suggest Romracer's which can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mypcool:
Thanks I will try this but I have a few questions

1. I did all this (the wipes and the flash) with tenfars, will this make a diff?

2. What tegrapart am I? (remember I cant boot into my phone to check through terminal emulator)

3. Now that I have been traumatized :) i just wanted to ask, on the alien site he says that it will take an unbearably long time to boot, how long should I expect to wait?

thanks for putting up with my "noobyness"
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
I don't know how to find your tegra part but it might take up to a few minutes the first time you boot. You'll know if you get a boot loop or not, the whole animation will do a major skip and start back from the start

And I know some people have problems with tenfar's. romracer's is just superior in my opinion.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mypcool:
will i get messed up if i use the wrong tegra?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
You shouldn't, as long as all you're doing is flashing ROMs with cwm. All else fails you can just flash a different one.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mypcool:
I tried the battery trick and it caused the usb jacks on my computer to stop working... I also tried to charge with a different phone and it didnt work. I called Motorola and am getting a new battery...

[Galaxy S II General] Roman5:
I've got no real complaints about my phone. But just curious about this. It's happened only about twice, once a few weeks ago, and it happened this morning as well. It was left in standby overnight. I pressed the home button, nothing came on. I thought, "I'm sure there was plenty of battery life left in it last night". So I pressed the power button to boot it, but nothing. Removing the battery and putting it back in allowed it to boot, and the battery was around 54% as I had suspected, I didn't think it would have been dead. So any idea why it would do that?
[Galaxy S II General] xalastras:

My story

Lots of posts out there about similar issues.

I saw this and other funnies on my own, uncustomised, SGS2. I tried lots of things: SD card in/out - no difference, sometimes crashed playing music, sometimes didn't. Sometimes rebooted 3 times in one day, once went for 6 days without misbehaving, jammed paper into the side of the battery to cure potential connctivity issue - no cure. Ran diagnostic programs that thrashed the cpu cores and RAM - no problem. In fact, my phone typically misbehaved when it was doing nothing.

Etc, Etc, etc

I originally thought it might be a software problem, but not everybody was seeing it which brought me back to thinking it was a hardware problem.

I returned the phone and the repacement phone has behaved itself for about 2 weeks now. Maybe you have hardware problem?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
The fps you get is dependent on the lighting situation. If your only getting 14fps...that is under lower lighting. Outside on a bright day you can easily get 24fps. Which is where its capped. If someone tries to claim they get 30fps when shooting 720p i want to see proof.
