[Atrix 4G General] driedger:
I've been noticing this for the last 3 years. I had a 500mb data plan on my old HTC Touch Pro. I did not have any data monitoring apps installed on that phone, but my usage was always around 10-15mb per month, regardless of how much I used. I would download complete roms to flash on my phone over 3g, and still only have it show 10mb usage for the month.

Looking at billing details, each data session maxed out at a very low number, I forget how much, but like .091mb or something like that... but the data sessions would stay active for hours and hours so it all added up to not too much.

I then bought a sim card and a Nexus one a few years ago, and my data usage all of a sudden matched exactly what I was using.

When I upgraded(?) to the Atrix, I upped my data plan to 1gb, and have been experiencing the same data usage problems I had with the Touch Pro years ago. Monitor it with 3g watchdog, Onavo, or the built in data monitoring in ICS, and I always use over a gig, yet my bills and self serve always only report 15mb usage or so over a month. Somethings wrong with the data reporting, but Im not about to inquire about it, as I seamingly have unlimited data because of this. I do, however, still check self serve routinely just in case they fix the problem someday.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanticar:
hi and thanks in advance for any help!

Had Cool3D AceS v2a and decided to upgrade it to v3 as i really liked this ROM

Had clockwork v5.0.0.2 recovery

Deleted all cache files

Partitioned SDcard with Gparted 1gb ext4 & 3gb fat 32

Copied new ROM to sdcard

clockwork would not see the ROM zip file to install

repartitioned & reformatted sdcard in clockwork

could not copy the rom to the SDcard

thought it may be clockwork prob so installed amon ra recovery

partitioned the sdcard (1024 ext2, then changed to ext3, then 4) & reformatted

did a full wipe

windows still could not copy the ROM to SDcard

reformated to just ext2

still cannot copy rom zip (windows wants to repair)

connected phone to ubuntu install

cannot copy ROM zip

thought it was a Hboot prob? but i cant flash hboot with cm7r2 or bravo_downgrade from alpharev (currently have cm7 hboot)

The phone now wont boot past the flash screen, i can still get into amon ra & pwr/vol - screen

If you have another SD Card try with that, I also faced similar issue.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
First partition should be fat 32
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanticar:
hi and thanks will buy another sdcard and try that - the card was formatted with the fat 32 partition first then the ext2/3/4 with amon ra (previously with gparted & clockwork)

I am still unsure why i can not flash hboot however and how that is linked to the SDcard? Tried flashing with the sdcard out too with the same error

The SDcard i am using is the stock 4gb one

thanks again
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Excuse me if I overread it, but in your opening post I cannot find a step for going S-OFF. And so you cannot use fastboot, which means you cannot flash hboots.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanticar:
I had S-off and indeed boot screen confirms S-off (BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF), do i need to reflash s-off again (I had it when I first installed aces v2a)

presumably theres a way to get s-off again via amon ra? as most guides I see require going into the installed ROM which i cannot. will try and look for a tut

thankyou
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Your S-OFF status cannot be changed by flashing a rom or using any recovery.

Is your phone in fastboot mode when you flash hboot? Where is hboot image you want to flash stored?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanticar:
ok have installed the ROM (Cool AceS v3)

I deleted all the partitions in ubuntu / gparted to 'unallocated space' (I actually used the live usb install avail here http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ to achive this rather than the burn cd image as per step 5 of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016084&highlight=noob+guide ) This also alows use of latest gparted which comes with ubunto 11.04.

I then used the amon ra to partiton the sdcard with 1gb ext2 then change to ext3 then ext4 & no swap

I then copied the rom onto sdcard via the ubuntu live install.

removed the zip security check in amon ra

rebooted to recovery and installed the ROM - SUCCESS!!! :)

all is now working (and im loath to change anything) - however I do have a couple of questions.

looking at gparted now at the phone its all 'unallocated space' the ROM works fine however (shows 2.9gb on my 4gb stock SDcard) - is this normal for this ROM?

also is the partition information for the SDcard contained within the phones system (96mb unallocated space on phone when sdcard is removed)?

Should I re- S-off the ROM now I can?

thanks again for all the pointers and i hope this may help any others with SDCARD copy/format issues.

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

yes i followed the guide for fastbootcommander here very carefully http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193915

I store the flash images on the desktop and load them as required into fastbootcommander by browsing for them and downloaded them from alpha-rev

thanks again
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Why should you re-S-OFF your phone? All is working fine right now, isn't it?

Wether you are S-OFF or S-ON has nothing to do with rom, it has to do with the bootloader. If this one is S-OFF, the rom also is it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanticar:
yes finally seems a fight between gparted/windows and ext4 partitions (seems windows7 doesnt like ext4 installed on sdcard as then it wants to fix the fat32 partition in order to copy files to it, if it fix's the fat 32 partition gparted then doesnt like it and ubuntu wont copy files)

I am on CM7 and was going to try CM7r2 (this ROM works on either apparently however)

for now thankfully it works though I have not tried flashing hboot ;)

is there a relationship with hboot and the partition structure on the SDcard?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
I cannot image in which way the desire's internal storage (hboot) should have something to with the partition of your sd card.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jnmoriginpoint:
I'm pretty handy around a computer, but after 4 days of frustration here's what I discovered:

1) From stock 1.3 - running manuNooter 4.6.18 then 4.6.16 (and 4.6.16a) won't get the market working (I had better success reverting back to 18, but it was still flaky and I had to reflash every few hours to continue seeing apps on my SD card). 16 and 16a kept crashing and wouldn't load the market at all.....it would populate then crash.....even after clearing all data and fixing permissions.

2) CM7 resulted in a hobbled market that wouldn't recognize my device as a 'legit device' on which to install apps. I could manually install apk's, but not from the market. I know that I could screw with the build.prop to change the type of device, but I wasn't keen to do so since people were having mixed results.

So is it fair to say that the market it toast atm? If so I'll let the ridiculously smart people work on it and check back in a while?

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jnmoriginpoint:
Condesention aside - I did try the contents of that thread before I posed my question. That thread though is a fix for CM7. When I had CM7 on my NC the problem I had with the market was to do with the error that 'this device is not compatible' - not with the visibility of the market itself. Thus I reflashed with Stock 1.3 and used MN and 4.6.XX in an attempt to get market that way.

Sorry - I guess my question wasn't clear: I was looking at all the threads on market access with manuNooter - and tried most everything myself. As far as I can tell - there doesn't seem to be a reliable fix to gain permanent Market access right? 4.6.18 seems to lose access from my experience (plus it uses the 'old market'), and 4.6.16 doesn't get access for me for more than a second until it crashes (and the data clear trick doesn't work for me). That's why I was asking whether or not I'm just missing a solid solution or there just isn't one.

What you say to all of us with a post like that is:

"Hey, I'm new. But even if I'm new, I won't bother to read and learn about my phone because is much easier for me to just post a thread so someone can spoon-feed me."

I have been looking through the posts and have not come across anything that will help me, so I decided to make a new post, specific to my issue. XDA developers is a place for everyone to come for advice, that is all I wanted. Not you telling me that I'm lazy. You have helped me in no way whatsoever. So for future reference, please, If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TECK:
You contradict yourself. First, you tell me that XDA is a place for everyone to come for advice, then you tell me that I should not give you my advice.

Again, my advice for you is to read and I say this because the way you look at things, you might end-up with a bricked phone since you don't show interest to read the HowTo stickies that are so important for new users. I'll do more than that, I'll show you where to read about your question:

Official firmware, compiled by Intratech (make sure you thank him)

Carrier firmware

If you would of read a little, you would of found these threads (and many others with similar important information) that were linked into zillions of other threads and stickies. Those are the things you should focus first, so you are comfortable with the various procedures described on this site. The fact that nobody replied to your thread should be a flag for you.

Masking the phone involves an edit to the build.prop file. /system is the location.

take a stock sensation build.prop and compare it to yours. in yours replace wherever it says vivow with whatever the equivelant is in the sensation build.prop except for the ro.build.fingerprint. that's usually the line that the market uses to identify the phone.

OK, everyone is thinking proximity sensor....me too.

Soo I bought another one off of the bay...took phone apart/back together and same results.:mad:

I put the old back in and held it outside of the phone ( = no obstructions) = no go.

Flashed another ROM [overstock] = no go.

Each time I make a call I have to remove the battery to hang it up.
