I had to decide between the samsung tab and the tf too but since the injunction against samsung tab in germany i had to take the tf. I heard about the issue of the screen in Galaxy tab but probably i would have go with the galaxy tab if it was avail at the time. Im not regretting at all the buy of the tf. I got lucky and have the one few b70s which is/are rootable. Although the tf has is own issues such as screen bleeding and some build issues, which i have only a small spot of lightbleeding, i still love the tf. Would buy it again plus the dock adds so much more to this device

Does your LED flash orange when charging with the phone off? Mine is and I don't know why.

Edit: Looks like this has to do with S-Off and CWM? What is the solution?

Edit - just updated to cwm 4.0.0.9 and i still can't charge with the phone off. Also, when I unplug, the orange light just stays lit.

I notice it happens more when the batt. It way past dead (so to speak) but it is a clockwork prob happened with the G2, but was fixed, the modaco recovery is a frankenstein kinda thing, id say it will get fixed once we have a true clockwork recovery.

Not to put down the hard work those modaco guys do, he made alot of recoveries for fones that didnt have them

Im having an issue after flashing my phone to GB 2.3.3 my service cant be recognized under the about phone gives me the correct os and build but the baseband and IMEI are unknown. I followed these steps correctly and i cant figure out my problem. :mad: Link below is what i used.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
did you back up your efs folder?

this problem more than likely pertains to the fact that your efs folder got wiped somehow during the flash the only way to fix it is with the backup
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] prophet828:
Yeah i fixed it! thanks :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Compxpert:
I just had this happen to me but I don't have my efs folder backed up. Will a nandroid backup fix it if not how can I unroot it so I can send it into tmobile?

Edit: Didn't work I'm going to have to unroot this I have KB5 on now since it was the only froyo non deodexed rom I could find but I can't seem to get superoneclick to unroot it.

Edit2: All I need is a rom suitable for turning the phone into tmobile to get an exchange done.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Compxpert:
Is there anyway to get the the unknown IMEI and baseband back to normal and if not can someone please help me unroot the phone because superoneclick isn't working?

ive had the same thing happen to me. odin back to a froyo rom then do the gingergread ext4 starter pack found in the dev section. i used kd1 as my froyo hope this helps.

This didn't resolve my issue still no signal, baseband unknown, and IMEI unknown. I also used kd1 as my froyo.

Flashed on stock nondeodexed KB5 and unrooted it with superoneclick so its ready for handset exchange.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RoleyAnderson:
Guys, you may want to try this before going forward with anything hard...

So, this same thing happened to me. I had Valhalla Black flashed on my phone, it started to glitch (reloading the home screen every 3 seconds or so and not loading any apps), so I did a CWM restore and it went into a boot loop (the splash screen would freeze and never load the ROM).

So, I used Heimdall One-Click to flash the stock Gingerbread ROM, and my IMEI/etc were all unknown. I saw all these options to use hex editors and stuff to redo the nv_data.bin file and was just about to do them...but...

I decided to check and see if it was the SIM card that went haywire. I put the SIM into another phone and the phone ended up getting service, so I thought, "Oh, sh**, I'm screwed...I'm going to have to do all this IMEI repair stuff..."

In the end, I put the SIM back into my t959v after taking it out of the old phone I was checking it with...AND BAM, IT WORKED! IMEI and everything are back and I'm getting service.

Point of the story: check your SIM card in another phone and see if you get service, then put it back in your other phone and see if you get service again.

FU** YEAH!!! No tough stuff afterall! Reflashing Valhalla Black and restoring apps, settings, etc. from Titanium...

[Motorola Droid X2] Tomsgt:
I use system tuner all the time it is a good app. I like the widget. Works great to tweak a lot of things with one app. Haven't tried the back up or the freeze. I use T backup for that.

Backed up an app and froze one both work just fine. Just like T backup. Enjoy
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
Long story short:

I'm a purist of the 'clean flash'...making sure my phone has NO leftover data from my last flash cycle.

Thing is, I've been wondering what the fastest and easiest way to get the cleanest flash is.

I've usually ended up flashing the pudding preroot SBF then clearing user data-y things through the recovery afterwards.

Is there a fastboot command that will completely wipe my phones data? And SBF?

Thanks for the input.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebeardedchild:
Do what CaelanT said, for sure. That's the most full wipe you can do.

But those "leftover" files you're talking about are a product of not formatting your SD card(s) however. After you wipe and everything and boot into recovery, go to Mounts and Storage (I think...) and format your SD cards. Make SURE you have backed up all of this data, first.

Can this be done to do a clean install of the stock rom?? as if its a yes, is it the same process??
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phalanx7621:
The process listed above, which if you do a search anywhere you'll come up with multiple times on this site, should be done to every new ROM you flash.

Fastboot -w only wipes /system and /cache. When you flash a new ROM, make sure to backup your internal storage to external SD card if there's anything you wanna keep and then wipe it using the command in the android operating system in Settings--storage--internal SD card. Just format it from within android, there's less of a chance of erasing the wrong one. For example, in Rom Racer's recovery, if you go to mounts and storage and Format SDcard, which you would think would format the internal sd card since there is a seperate SD-ext format, it doesn't. It will format your EXTERNAL sd card instead. To wipe internal you would have to wipe the EMMC, that's just how he has it set up. Which is why I say just use the format that is within android.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sass86:
Just be sure you don't wipe you ROM .zip off the SD card if you use cwm to flash... nothing like erasing everything then having to sbf flash because the zip is gone... oh and cm7 doesn't erase SD cards properly, so don't use it, otherwise you can't format the SD card.

I piss excellence
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
Really quickly:

So after fastboot reboot I would then be back to the stock moto ROM or...?

Saying I'm back on the stock moto ROM (basically pudding?), I take it the BL is still unlocked, but I don't have root, right?

All I do is root, install recovery (I always DL rom manager then flash romracer's rec.) then flash ROM correct?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
This deletes everything, you won't be able to use your phone until you flash a new ROM with cwm recovery.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
Okay, so it WON'T delete my current recovery (being romracer's)? Or do I have to somehow install CWM recovery?

And then, at that point, it's just a matter of having the rom.zip on my external/removable SD card and flashing it?

Do I have to worry about root if, for example, I wanted to flash Nottach's Darkside 2.0? Is it prerooted? Do I just 1-click root once I boot into it?

Thanks everybody for the info and patience.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beely:
I posted in the noob but didn't get replies so I'll try here since it is related to the question I have

Whenever I flash a blur-based rom -custom or stock (not cm7), it still has some reminiscence of previous setting - most obvious is the main screen.

For example, a quick note widget with content and a whatsapp app shortcut show up on the Home screen even though they should be wiped from system/cache/davik wipe before flashing a rom

My procedure:

Wipe Dalvik Cache (under advanced in CWM)

Wipe Cache Partition

Wipe data/factory reset

fastboot -w

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase user data

fastboot erase webtop

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase preinstall

fastboot reboot

Install ZIP

Is it normal that some of the previous settings are retained?

is probably not but yea any advice would be useful.

I have a feeling my screen issue is related to this.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabeepk:
Well, that is probably because you setup your blur account everytime.

Right?

The blur setup restores the icons on the home screens, whichever are installed at the time of the setup.

So probably that's the case with the icons etc coming back.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GolfCranK:
So what do you recommend as the best way way to wipe clean the internal sd before flashing.? Do it from the pc? or from CWM? or some other way?

Actually I am on cm7 and about to restore my cwm backup of Froyo on Telstra Atrix so that I can OTA Gingerbread. So obviously I want it as clean as possible.

Is this correct way?

Any help would be appreciated :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GolfCranK:
Please Help - Can't get to recovery

Not sure what I have done wrong - I have read everything I can on this and still seem to have wrecked it.

I have done all the fastboot erases as per previous posts in this thread and formatted internal sd card. I have clockworkmod backup on external sd card.

Vol up + power gives me RSD protocol support

Vol down + power gives me fastboot.

Have I done something wrong? How do I boot to cwm recovery?

Edit: Ahhhh search was my friend. I found the answer here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1228633

It is funny that I have never seen a reference to "vol down" after getting to fastboot. Went into a complete panic.:o

Are you running any ROMS? If so, try flashing a new one. If you are just at stock phone, try flashing the stock firmware over from the Motorola website. All directions are there and firmwares.

Also are you rooted or/and have an unlocked bootloader.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
Damn thats crucial. I know this is prob not the most helpful idea but I guess worth a try.. Have you downloaded the Touchscreen Booster app to see if it makes a difference? You can have it pushed to your phone via the Android Market on a computer, just select the Atrix and your phone should download it automatically. The dropdown box you need to change is right about where your top row of keys is so maybe just maybe.. Try the "super optimized" setting. Sorry I cant be more help, hope you get it resolved.

I think I can. I have taken apart phones before and I've seen several helpful threads on the subject. I guess I'll go ahead and order one, I don't think a ROM flash will work (but I guess since it's free I'll go ahead and try it first)

I would but I can't get to my apps at all.

Ok, thanks very much :)

Guys, do you know if I use RomRacer's backup utility, is it a complete 100% backup? Meaning if I flash a ROM to it, and it doesn't fix, can I use the backup to go back to the way it was before the install?

for the glue, use a blow drier, ir buy some adhesive superglue i think is a no no because it fuses the 2 things together, that could screw stuff up. just my 2 cents :)
