That's the million dollar question for us Photon users, isn't it?

https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/445861#445861

On the Motorola support forum, one of their employees response to when the Photon's bootloader would be unlocked was, "This isn't solely up to Motorola"

Not that it will hurt, you could go on their support forum and voice your request too. That kind of conduct did prod them to release their source code.

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flu13:
Get ready for yet another post where I sound like a grumpy old man (hint: it's because I am).

I listen to a lot of audiobooks. I loaded my current book onto my Shift running MikShifted-G and started listening to my latest book. I love the music thing on the lock screen. But what frustrates me is that sometimes (ok, all the time) when I stop in the middle of a track, when I go to resume later, it restarts the track. My guess is that either this is a quirk of the music player, in which case I don't know if it's a Sense issue or a MikShifted-G issue, or if it's the task manager that's included in MSG killing my music app and resetting that. I can't figure out any way in that task manager to tell it not to kill things. I'm thinking about just removing that, since I've never really felt a strong need for a task manager app.

Any good advice?

I use PowerAmp and it has an option to keep it in memory. I use WidgetLocker with the PowerAmp widget and there some hiccups but they're minimal, mostly to do with opening the app after pressing on the widget. Not sure about the task killer, I think I've read that ROMs based on 2.3 use an aggressive policy on apps in memory.

thiss time screen showed display but screen image/projection remained still(snapshot) but the touch worked properly...let me explane:- on the lock screen when i slide the bar to unlock the screen,the screen showed no movement of the bar but on completing the slide it unlocked the phone...so its like,things are happning but i cant see them now :( after rebooting all problem gone but it occours frequently after some time(1day or so) to get rid of this i reflashed the rom but after a while this black/still screen occours again...

If you loaded the overclock module correctly, go into recovery and fix permissions. If that doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall.

yeah I tried fixing permision and reinstalling. it doesn't work. I'm just going to give up on this app.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
did you install from the market and make sure that "set on Boot" is checked? you may want to make sure it is a stable setting as well. Make sure that the overclock module is loaded and that you dont mess with CPU max frequency. what you should do is uninstall, delete the app from superuser and then reinstall.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] rsifan:
This weekend I was away from home and needed to book some plane tickets. So I connected my milestone (running CM7 Nightly) to a laptop(Windows 7 32 bit) via USB.

But when I plugged in the USB cable into the laptop, when the drivers were being installed there was an error (there was a red x next to 1 of the options, can't remember the exact option but I think it had something to do with Motorola networking?).

Anyway, I downloaded the latest Motorola drivers (same 1 I used when rooting) via my phone and installed it on the laptop, but I was still unable to connect using the dial up connection I created. Everytime I tried to connect I received error 632 (I think it means modem not detected)

I had to flash the phone back to stock Froyo and then it installed properly and I was able to use the phone as a modem on the laptop.

Has anyone else experienced this and is there a solution?

hi all, why i search samsung galaxy mini GT-S5570 not in forum??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
Let me introduce myself, I am @CallipH on Twitter, I wrote a bunch of guides for the original Vibrant... I really try and make an effort to make things as streamlined as possible, but I avoid apps for one-click rooting.

I lead a social media campaign against Samsung.. made some contacts there.. and when my Vibrant had issues, they replaced it for me, but with the 4G version so I am very new to this phone.

I was shocked that it lost 15GB of internal memory.... really shocked. Do you guys have any internal memory issues - needing ext partitions on the external sd?

I also wanted to find a guide similar to some of mine... how to root... how to odin.. how to flash...

It seems there are a plethora, almost too many. Only being here 12 hours, it may be too early to be posting this... but, is there a guide for someone who just got the phone, is on stock froyo and wants to root?

The one guide that is stickied, and looked great, confused me because it stated it assumed you already had root.. but then in the steps it noted you got root. This and the amount of threads just got me wondering... it does not seem like someone new to the 4G has ONE go to thread.

Am I wrong? I'm probably posting this too soon... just my initial reaction to what I have seen.

Here is a common scenerio:

If a person has froyo and just wants to root.... do they simply odin drhonks bali kernel via odin... which willl give root. What if they then want to flash a GB rom? I saw that Rom Manager does not work.... Bali must come with a recovery. Seems to me you could flash a GB rom from this, but that is not where the reading led me to believe.

No offense should be taken from this post, all I want to do is see if I can help in any way.

Check out my signature for my OG Vibrant guides to get an idea of what I would like to create here.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cybok0:
We have a bible that is a sticky, it has guides in it.

If you want to root froyo use this guide.

If you don't want the stock ROM there are different froyo ROMs in the bible, my favorites on froyo was Black Ice and ICBINB.

If you want GB use this one.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1223765

Everything you want to know is in the bible.:)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
^ absolutely... I looked over the Bible, and I appreciate your time for a detailed response.

I guess I was just asking, do people find that is good enough for noobs? There are about 10+ guides in the bible... and none seemed like a defnitivie, go here to root and flash.

If people are not asking the same questions over and over, i guess it is ample...

EDIT: Oh, and as a fan of Whitehawx, I am likely to go to Valhalla... that guy was a beast for the Vibrant. Anyone have experience with it - are there more stable GB roms?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cybok0:
I don't know, when I first got my phone, before the bible, I just looked at what we had, granted there are more now than there was, but the originals are still there and IMO if people would read they shouldn't have problems. If I can do it than anybody should be able, all it takes is reading till you understand and patience, which IMO is what causes most of the problems for people, they don't have patience.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
haha.. sounds good man. Curious what others have to add, but everything you've said makes perfect sense.

I am very familiar with ODIN, but on the OG Vibrant we had a file to flash from stock recovery to root... and CWR/Rom Mgr worked.

Why does it not work on the 4g? I sent Koush a tweet for clarification on this also.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cybok0:
The Valhalla ROM is the best GB ROM out so far IMO but the launcher causes random reboots and freezing, you'll have to use a different launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I actually have two guides for what you needed.

If you want to root and add cwm to you froyo rom you can Odin this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195860

It's a lot easier than pushing a file through root explorer, especially if you already have Odin and are familiar with it.

If you want to get a GB rom with good bootloaders, root, cwm and all internal partitions formatted to ext4 you can follow my other guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1223765

Sadly my guides never got stickied. Not sure why. I do think they're some of the most straightforward out there since I made the Odin files myself for ease of use. Really hard to mistake which file goes into which slot (csc.tar.md5 into csc, pda.tar.md5 into pda instead of some really long names for leaks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
interesting. I did see the first link you mentioned in several posts last night researching, but somehow I missed the second. I'll go over those now.

Obvious initial question... why cant one root froyo, and then just flash a GB rom? Are the GB bootloaders required? They were not on the OG Vibrant.

I assume the GB roms suffer from similar bugs as the OG? Poor/No GPS being and battery drain?

oh, and the xda user quote you have in the 2ng guide is HYSTERICAL.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cybok0:
The GPS works, great battery life, people have problems with wifi, I don't it works good enough for me.

You need proper GB bootloaders.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
FB's Gingerbread guides are the only ones that worked for me. With froyo, it was easy. Superoneclick if you just want to root, and ODIN in a kernel if you want CWM. Then flash any froyo ROM you want till your heart's content.

With GB, you need to have GB bootloaders, so that's why the guides always have you flash a samsung GB leaked ROM first (only the leaks have boot loaders). Form there, follow the guides to get CWM and ext4. Once you are on GB, it's nearly just as easy to flash any GB ROM on the forum.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
Great info... I can tell this community is just as good the OG Vibrant. A sincere thank you.

I'll stay in the shadows for awhile and see if I can help in any way with guides - they are something I really enjoy making.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
If you want, I can make a guide for beginners.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
That is exactly what I intended to do... of course I have a lot of catching up to do. Amazed at how different things are for the Vibrant and 4G.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
A new beginner's guide may be in order. A lot has changed with this phone over the last few months, so some things are outdated and have been superceded by better methods.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
^ so far FBs seems easy enough how it is packaged, but the steps guide seems very misleading.... here is what I posted on it:

LINK

Just seems out of order or something.

Seems to me (and let me know why i am wrong), you could just:

flash a GB rom with odin

flash drhonks voodoo kernel

flash a rom that converts to ext4

I'm trying to figure out why the guides are not that simple though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Not all GB roms have the bootloaders. You can corrupt your system partition. You can have disappearing apps. you can break certain features if you install out of order. Not all GB roms are stable (leaks).

I've flashed and troubleshooted every ROM in this forum. Its a bit more complicated, but its getting easier.

This is not every other phone out there, but in all honesty, its not any more difficult. It's just different.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
^ okay, so clearly there is one that is... can't that be flashed, then the voodoo kernel?

Please know I appreciate your answers, really trying to learn the methods, not to be annoying.

EDIT, also, any comments on the steps seeming out of order?

The way I see it, after the SECOND odin to GB (odd), I need to go into cwr, partition, and then reboot... let it bootup... then move the rom/busybox to my sd... go back into cwr... flash.

EDIT 2, yeah... I agree, nothing confusing about odin or what's going on... while I was on my break from the vibrant someone mailed me an HD2 to use... so, in the past 3 weeks, this is my third toy to learn/play with.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Nah, you're not annoying. It's tough to grasp coming from other phones. I actually had a tough time flashing stuff on my mt3g and vibrant after this phone. To me, the other phones are so much harder to flash. Its all perspective.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Yea, that's the smarter way. Because you need the partition to convert to ext4 (not on Valhalla). Moving the files after us a safety precaution. Partitioning can wipe the sd card. Flashing the Froyo boot loaders followed by the GB bootloaders ensures a clean install. You haven't been around this specific forum, but we had an issue with people flashing with corrupt partitions and bootloaders. This step fixes that before it is a problem

Hd2 is a fun phone. Dual boot windows and Android!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] blestsol:
I did this and my phone just hangs at samsung Galaxy s with no changes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
^ I followed the guide, and now my phone, nor my pc recognize my sd card....

EDIT, disabling voodoo and formatting the sd (using my other phone connected to the pc), then rebooting allowed the sd to mount, on the phone and pc.

rest assured, I am writing a guide for this... I've already learned a lot in the past hour.

Valhalla 1.1 has been fantastic for me. Stable, fast, exceptional battery life with DSextons tweaks and undervolt settings, and the EDT Tweaks are very useful, +1 for the TW Launcher being buggy - I use LP.

Currently on Valhalla 1.2 but had my first problem while on any Valhalla Rom today (Posted in Valhalla Thread).

GB over Froyo everyday of the week. Black Ice was my go to Froyo Rom, but wouldn't go back to Froyo after being on GB.

Dsexton's ICBINB-KH2 was error free for me too, just liked the EDT Tweaks in Valhalla so I made the switch.

Nice to see a new contributor on these boards. Welcome.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
^ yeah, I opted to go with Valhalla 1.1. Put it through some paces, and so far it seems pretty rock solid.

One thing I am noticing though, the radio does not seem to be as good on the GB build as the stock froyo I had the previous day. I am not even able to get signal at my work desk, and the wifi signal at home was lower too.

I suppose we have flashable modems, so I am going to go check the bible... just my first negative observation about GB.

OH, EDT Tweaks was amazing on the OG Vibrant.... I am really hoping some of the other hacks can be incorporated. I've already pleaded my case with whitehawx and roman. I would really like the miui battey and hex color code edits.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
Yeah, all the modems are available to flash via CWM or Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I have a modems thread too :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
Wifi on GB is weaker than froyo for some reason. It doesn't matter which modem you flash, it is still weaker. It's a known issue, but we haven't figured it out yet. Just wanted to let you know before you flash 10 different modems.

I'm on Gingerbread (Valhalla 1.1) with the froyo KD1 modem, because it gets better phone reception in my condo. Wifi is still lower than froyo, but I can still get signal (1 bar) on my desk at work, and at home it's right next to the router, so it's not a problem yet.
