[Focus General] santhoshr:
not working but there is one way

I can confirm Radio not working purchased from ebay India, but I found after selecting the radio station and switching off the display and placing it in floor some stations received, but reception is not great, don't know why this weird method is working and also why reception is f*$king poor?! anyone else fixed this? other than this I love this fone :)
[Atrix 4G General] ishamm:
i have read LOTS of forums on this, but have found no diffinative, working methods. has anyone actually ever done this, and if so what method did you use? links/guides would be much appreciated! thanks
[Atrix 4G General] Brazen9000:
I also have searched everywhere and apart from "get a pc" or "get parallels and windows 7 for your mac" I've heard nothing concrete.

Any advice on this would be hugely appreciated!
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
No guys, all the methods posted are just theoretical blabber posted for the LULZ!...

.... NOT!!!

... all the methods mentioned on this forum work, unless stated otherwise...

only a handful require a Windows PC

yes, preinstall method works, CWM root package works, gingerbreak works,

1-click easy root also works

follow the link, go to post 3... and you have directions for Mac OS
[Atrix 4G General] ishamm:
sorry, i didnt mention, im not on gingerbread (thanks to tmobiles slow updating), and most of these rooting methods seem to require it. would going straight to unlocking the bootloader be easier on mac? (i realise the methods arent written for fun, but many require a lot of presumed knowledge of terminal commands, which unfortunately i lack XD )

thanks
[Atrix 4G General] eskimopunk:
Bootcamp or parallels with windows 7. That's how I did it.
[Atrix 4G General] Brazen9000:
Many thanks, I'll try one of the ones you mentioned.

I'd love to try the one click method for mac but I clocked on the link, went to third post and it's not as you suggested it might be.

If there is a simple oneclick method for mac dullards like me it would be great to tell me where to go for it. Thanks again!
[Atrix 4G General] ishamm:
i have tried using dorootv3.sh and doroot2, on terminal, but both always fail, is there any other .sh that has been shown to work?

---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

basically, after a load of different attempts, my main problem seems to be this: to root on mac, i need 2.3.4 (i have 2.2.2); to get 2.3.4 i need to unlock the bootloader; and to unlock the bootloader it must be rooted.

it seems im stuck in this cycle, and dont really know what i should do. any help would be great. :confused:

can i flash with the at&t 2.3.4 from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125944 ?
[Atrix 4G General] Pirateghost:
you dont need root to unlock bootloader....you unlock bootloader through an sbf flash

we seriously need a popup box on every freaking forum that will explain what ROOT actually is.

root is SYSTEM access within the OS. outside of the OS, root doesnt mean squat

you will wipe all your system when you unlock your bootloader which means:

contacts stored on phone (unless you export them to vcf on sdcard)

settings

text messages

user installed apps

it does NOT wipe internal or external sdcard (i always keep a backup of this stuff on my computer anyway when i start messing with my phone)
[Atrix 4G General] ishamm:
oh sorry, in that case i totally got the wrong end of the stick reading the noob intro howtos :eek: so to unlock the bootloader what sbf do i need to flash? that i can do now through terminal, which is very handy, but i havnt come across any howto on bootloader unlocking that just says flash an sbf
[Atrix 4G General] Pirateghost:
http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader

i typed in google.com

'unlock motorola atrix bootloader'

a link lead me directly to that.....its the exact same tut listed here on xda....
[Atrix 4G General] ishamm:
sorry, im having a serious slow day, just gone on holiday so brain is totally out of gear XD thanks so much for clearing up the root/bootloader confusion, i have now unlocked successfuly, and will be installing my first rom! :D
[Atrix 4G General] Pirateghost:
its not just you confused with root. its xda-wide.

for some reason sooooo many people have this notion that root=unlocking bl/s-off/rom-flashing

its frustrating to see people suggesting to others on some forums around here that they need to 're-root' their device when they are already on a rooted rom....its baffling that so much misinformation can be spread like wildfire.
[Atrix 4G General] ishamm:
my last confusion, for now XD, is this: the alien rom contains an image, which i can flash ok, but also a Meta Inf folder and System folder. if i follow this method

"

1. Extract all the files to the same directory and CD there in the terminal.

2. Put your phone in fastboot mode (turn it on holding volume down button then press volume up)

3. Type these commands in the terminal:

chmod +x moto-fastboot-osx64

./moto-fastboot-osx64 flash boot XXXXXX.boot.img (work out what Tegra part you need to flash and change the XXXXXX to that!)

./moto-fastboot-osx64 flash system ORFR234-system.img

./moto-fastboot-osx64 flash webtop webtop.img

./moto-fastboot-osx64 reboot

"

what should i do with the 2 folders, since as far as i know, i cant just flash folders right?

thanks
[Atrix 4G General] Pirateghost:
alien rom, as with any other custom rom, comes packaged for CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY

you dont extract rom zips

you need CWM installed on your unlocked atrix, then you boot to recovery, and flash the rom zip
[Atrix 4G General] ishamm:
oh man, just when i thought i'd started to understand everything! XD

if its not too much trouble, can you explain the method to go about installing alien on a mac, or if it exists, link a relevent thread? i can only find ones which confuse me even more :confused:

many thanks
[Atrix 4G General] Pirateghost:
you dont install roms from your computer

you need to make sure you have CWM installed. you can do this with fastboot

fastboot this recovery on

http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-olympus.img

instructions can be found

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1204500

you download a rom to your phone and flash it through recovery. no computer needed at all after you have unlocked and flashed recovery on.
[Atrix 4G General] ishamm:
and is this do-able without an SD card installed? before i get halfway down the road and find im screwed XD also it seems i need to be rooted for CWM, though i still cant find a way to do it...
[Atrix 4G General] Pirateghost:
did you actually read the post above????

you can fastboot the recovery image.

you DO NOT need root in order to do so.....
[Atrix 4G General] ishamm:
yes i did read it... while it might be obvious to you, some of us have no idea what were doing. loads of howtos include having to install the rom from a SD card. also CWM says "The SD Card needs to be mounted to use ROM Manager" so i dont think its too much of a stretch to think i need one :D
[Atrix 4G General] Pirateghost:
you dont need rom manager....

you boot into recovery and install from there.......

A. download rom

B. transfer to phone's storage (if you download directly from phone, obviously skip this step)

C. boot into recovery

D. wipe data/factory reset (option in CWM recovery)

E. select option: install from sdcard

F. confirm

G. after flash is complete reboot your phone, you are now on a new rom.
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
also, remember, the Atrix comes with an internal 16GB SD card. you can use it for all your flashing needs, you don't need an external one.
[General Questions and Answers] Dulleh:
Hi i recently bought a Samsung s2 and followed the ways of how to root it.

I downloaded Odin and the insecure file

I then pressed the down key home button and power so it downloaded ok

The i went to applications and enabled usb debugging.

When i ran Superoneclick the thing kept on crashing so i downloaded s2 root and it keeps saying

Device already Has PERM ROOT permissions! aborting....

But i do not have Superuser on my phone

Is there something im doing wrong? I've been on it for hours and cant figure it out i watched videos and read all the descriptions of how to root the s2 but am stuck on this

Can someone help please

[General Questions and Answers] tingtan:
You can download root checker and see if your phone is indeed rooted:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&feature=search_result

If so, you are missing supervisor.apk, please search the Web for superuser.apk and how to install it. Quite likely you need to use "adb" to install it.

Hope it helps.

Darkey's 10.1 is still their last one (to my knowledge) and a very fast and stable ROM, but these are pretty good too. "F1 SGS II" and "F1 InnovatioN" and "SYMPLY".

one of the best rom on jvs right now is jetpack rom v5 'spark' ot has amazing battery life ! while i havent flashed it yet and i am still on v4 because i dont have a pc or a lappy these days! but the users feedback suggest that its super stable and has mind blowing battery life! v4 has amazing battery life too and as jvs has better battery life ao v5 has superb itself!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrIwik:
The darky crew has since released 10.2(EE & RE) 10.2.1 10.2.2 10.3Beta and a JVS Base ROM. From my standpoint I found 10.2RE and the JVS base to be much more stable, snappier and have better battery than 10.1 and others have claimed the same about 10.2.x in regards to 10.2

Now finding stock JVS With semaphore to have even greater stability.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadey3:

Hey, I was asking myself what exactly are the advantages of flashing a newer radio. Asked in ARHD dev thread but figured I'd get an answer in here faster. :)

I thought radio was for connectivity. So it should be depe ding on where you are. But why then does e.g. ARHD recommend one radio for everyone? Wouldn't it make more sense to keep stock radio, maybe with default settings by your provider?

Thanks for your help. :)

Sent from my HTC Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
The radio is linked to the ROM, so the custom ROM in question will always work best with the associated radio. It'll help with battery life, signal, everything. Radios aren't carrier specific
[HTC Sensation] crunkin:
And why can't / don't the chefs put the radio in the Rom to be flashed automatically? Or isthat not possible? Would be the easiest wasn't imo, if its true that the radio is for each ROM th best one.

Sent from my HTC Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
It can be done, but as flashing a radio is the more risky part of ROM flashing it's not recommended to do at the same time as a ROM. End of the day you don't HAVE to flash the radio but it's best to if it's recommended
[HTC Sensation] crunkin:
Do I need ENG S-Off to flash a new radio on sensation? I've read many different things. Some ppl say I don't need it, some say I do... What's right and what's wrong? That would be my final question.

I would like to buy this wonderful phone but first i need to ensure that skype works..Has anyone tried it yet?

I have searched all over the internet and i have found that due to cpu freq skype does not work smoothly, especially when the screen goes blank(proximity sensor) and the OS drops the cpu freq. But that answer was 6 months old :P So i hope for a bit advancement in skype development..

[HTC Wildfire S] caxelair:
So my own experience with Skype and that "****ty", but cheap, cellphone (Wildfire S, by the way, I used the official HTC ROM)... So that's just impossible to handle the calls with Skype. I tried Skype, Skype lite, Skype on 3 (a special version of Skype which allows just the chats, so NO CALLS)...

So I installed Viber. The calls are pretty good even if the sound is quite low... But compare to Skype (desktop software version) that's not the same quality/rapidity!

To sum up : Skype doesn't work well for the calls! Okay you can use it to chat with your friends but some better applications exist (like WhatsApp).
[HTC Wildfire S] ArjanK:
A buddy of mine used tasker to setup a profile to keep the screen ON when i'm on a skypecall, so skype has benefit of the max cpu produced.. I've got crystal clear skypecalls over 3G here

I use Skype_on_3 without any problems: audio cristal clear.

[HTC Wildfire S] dubmel:
skype doesn't work for me either (Wildfire S, Vodafone Ireland, Standard ROM, S-ON).

I think it works when the phone is flat and I use a headset, but that's pretty limited!

I tried downgrading to an older version (Skype 1.0.0.984 and Skype 1.0.0.983), no success either. Any suggestion?
[HTC Wildfire S] dznutzuk:
I had the same problem, i uninstalled the new version and installed the old v1 and works just fine, no problems whatsoever
[HTC Wildfire S] rkleinhenz:
Where can you find an old version? The market only has the latest. I wanted to use skype over wifi and the sound is to bad it's useless. I thought it was a bandwidth issue but I tested and got about 10 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up so I know it's not that - glad to see that others are having this issue also not just me. But I'd be even happier if I could get a fix

I found skype 1.03 and it works without the new versions chopped-up sound - works just FINE!!! Found it here
[HTC Wildfire S] andi_79:
Hi,

I agree about using an old version. I do it as well and speaking works very very good, and sometime better then my old notebook.

Just one thing that I really dont like, with such old version skype doesnt support sending sms, which means, when I need to speak I use the old one, for sending sms the new one.

Perhaps there is a stable version from skype which allows sending sms? Or is there a way to install two version of skype?

To edit the file in /system, start up Terminal, become root by typing "su" and remount the /system partition by typing "mount -o rw,remount /system". Then you can edit all you like. When you're done type "mount -o ro,remount /system" or just reboot.
