[Acer Iconia A500] vicmns:
Does anyone have problems synching Chrome bookmarks? I Got this problem after updating to 3.1, and hoped to be fixed on 3.2, but it appears it doesn't. After some research (Google search of course :p), it appears that the problems originated after Google made changes to the chromesync service.... And Asus launched a patch to fix this. Is any word from Acer :confused:

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] vicmns:
Problem Fix

It appears that the big guys at Google have already fixed the Sync problem, today all my bookmarks have been synched in my Iconia.
[Acer Iconia A500] benand:
it s a known problem, see

_code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=18937
[Acer Iconia A500] tariche:
Do not think they will border to fix it since chrome for android is around the corner.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
I don't know if it's been fixed per se. It used to crash my google services and now does not, so I could consider it fixed in that regard - but it doesn't sync mine. If I look in my browser sync under accounts and sync and my google account the sync icon is there and no matter how many times it spins and stops, the sync date isn't updated.

It's possible my Google is just too heavy with extra stuff. Not sure though and I'm not willing to uncheck any of my stuff because I want it all synced.

Update: Yes, I'm still seeing an issue. My browser sync now comes up with Sync Error after a few seconds and the last full sync date was 9/5/2011
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxigenboy:
earlier i was getting ready to try out a new ROM on my TB and was in clockwork wiping everything & got to the part where you format /system and i accidentally told it to format /sdcard

at that point everything was wiped(including sd card) so i turned off the phone as i was not at home at the time.

is clockwork still in tact on the phone itself and can i just copy a ROM to the sd card & pop it back in the phone and go from there or is there something more i have to do?

thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILMF:
Yup. You are fine. Pop a ROM on there and flash.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TDubKong:
you know you can download roms directly from the forums from the browser right? you dont have to wait til you get home. just download it, boot into recovery and flash it
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallstevenson:
He wiped the phone, so there's currently no ROM on it.... He also wiped the SD card, so if he by chance had a ROM copied to it that he could flash, well, he doesn't anymore.... :eek:
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TDubKong:
When you wipe to factory data reset, wipe dalvik, and cache the OS that was on your phone is still there. I do all of that before I install a new ROM also but it doesnt delete all the data from your phone. I just did it to make sure i wasnt mistaken. He didn't erase the OS he just erased all the user data. it takes a while to reboot but everything works including the browser. so he could use the browser, go to whereever he downloaded the rom from redownload it and install it from whereever he is

:)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallstevenson:
That's NOT what he said. Then again, after re-reading it, I think he meant to wipe /system but accidentally selected his SD card.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TDubKong:
Ok. Well by now dude is probably home and all is well
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jocutz1987:
hey guys first i want to say thank you to every one that might help ok.........

my friend has this my touch that every time it turns off it goes to hboot OK i am guessing that he has permaroot OK is there anything that you guys think that can stop this loop and i have no SD card in it i am guessing that can inter fear with the rom rebooting correctly so any thoughts would be mostly appreciated

or can give me alink to a stock rom and reset the phone to stock
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
i'm guess maybe the volume rocker is broken, so whenever the phone boots it thinks that the user is pressing volume down+power buttons so it goes into HBOOT. try to see if you can make any selections using the volume down button in HBOOT.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jocutz1987:
yea but i have it on right now but when i hit the down volume button it doesnt work
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
volume button down in HBOOT mode?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jocutz1987:
ok this is the thing everytime i shut the phone off it goes into hboot right ok then sometimes it take a while to get it back up and runing ok so im gussing he has perma root so i want to reset it better to sell the phone
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
yea, just try resetting it with the PD151IMG.zip file.

Also reserved please
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ROB281:
This sounds like something that can kill a lot if time while I'm in the office.

What are we looking for when doing this?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
Well, I'll get to the point soon. still modifying the post. but basically the gist of it is to check ALL of motorola's update servers for updates, not just the one that comes programmed into the device. If we're lucky and we find a hidden update, we may be able to get an unlocked bootloader (or other goodies?), which will allow us to use our device as we please (new kernels, better mods, etc)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] karthakon:
Thanks for writing this up, I've been hesitant to try it since some of the paths/files in other posts did not exist on the Bionic.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
Well, I was bold and basically just created the files. When I ran the *#*#4636#*#* test, I found that it did indeed change my could update server.

also the com.motorola.blur.setup was in /data/data/ and not the system/etc/motorola.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brickinphoneslol:
Thank you.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
Thank you for this. The previous directions were based on the Atrix so there were a lot of files listed that I never saw so I felt unsafe just making them up and moving things around. I'll get on this sometime in the very near future.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
I actually have been testing some methods that may not even req a wipe in between or possible before
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
Apparently someone found an update somewhere. Good sign. I'm going to check it out in an hour or two. Don't have my hands on it yet.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kennethpenn:
Looking at these right now. I'll go ahead and update the main thread with your corrections. Thank you for figuring it out!!!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
when I hit the server, it says it's a 5.5.886 -> 5.5.891 update
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kennethpenn:
Just so everyone can see it: the update label will always be for the build ID that the zip is supposed to be installed over. That means if you've got an update:

Blur_Version.1.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip --> This means the zip should be installed over devices running Build number "1."

Blur_Version.5.5.886.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip --> This means the zip should be installed over devices running Build number "5.5.886."
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kennethpenn:
Was anyone ballsy enough to attempt to install the update? It doesn't have a bootloader inside, but it may still be dangerous.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cellzealot:
P3 flashed it and it does absolutely contain a bootloader update.

The critical pieces are the mbm.bin, mbmloader_hs.bin and mbmloader_ns.bin.

HS and NS refer to Hardware Secure and Non Secure parts and both are included in these updates because both types of hardware are present in the test groups or whomever is the intended recipient of these files.

There is not an unlock, per se, but both secured and unsecured mbmloaders are present and the updater script has a check for the ro.secure status and loads the appropriate file for the target device.

The D3 update and assumedly this file as well cannot be reverted to stock release version, so this file must be regarded very carefully and assessed before any decision to flash or not is made.

There is a LOT more discussion we need to have about these files and OMAP SoCs I think regarding the differences between them and the Tegra II SoCs and fuse arrays! ;)

Edit: This breaks the djrbliss root method using the tcmd exploit. We need to look further and discuss with him other possibilities for root. Reverting has not been established yet and may brick since we dont have a complete XML.zip.

WARNING!!!! This is a very dangerous file to flash at this stage!!! Please do not rush into testing it yet!!!

Thanks to those who got the file and thanks to P3Droid for guinea pigging.

Oh and I have to add that clarified cheescake is an oxymoron...you garnish cheesecake with wonderful things! :D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jimmydafish:
So I decided that I just couldn't sleep not knowing if the root patch had been fixed. So I decided to flash the update.zip. And what I expected to happen, happened, it zapped the local.prop exploit.

So here I sit on the new build unrooted and stock. I'm fairly certain that if I try to revert back to the OG build I will have a paper weight on my desk until a full xml fastboot file can be found. I would suggest you all wait and don't flash this yet.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Enzopreme:
thats what i call takin one for the team!!! thanks bro!!! You'll be rooted again in no time, maybe even s-off!!! ;)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
S-off doesn't apply to Moto products...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kennethpenn:
I suppose I was looking for the wrong things. On other devices, "ap20bl.img" was responsible for bringing such goodies as an unlock capability.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Proff3ss0r Farnsw0rth:
Yeah I have to say I agree that they have to know. I mean even the most basic server tracks ip and if they wanted to know who we are they could. I run servers with no where near the security need and and we don't have a simple workaround like that. The fact that they leave it open like that has to say something. Also wouldn't you guess there has to be at least one Motorola employee that has heard of xda and the countless other sites or even as flash crazy as we all are.

Maybe even reading this now!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zachdroid:
I would have to agree as well. It is the carrier not the manufacturer that is causing the majority of the headaches. I'm sure moto would like us off their backs honestly.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] darkrom:
IMO they know we use these servers and exactly why we do it. They get to use us to beta test updates in a real world situation. They get the added bonus of not being responsible if something goes wrong, since the update isn't released after all.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ballaholyk84:
Sorry for the noob question, can someone let ne know the adb command to pull the updates from the /cache folder and also delete them? Is there another way to delete them from within Root Explorer in case i dont need to pull them?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zookii:
I believe adb pull /cache/Filename is how to pull them.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
Yes. I just use root explorer to copy to sdcard
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ballaholyk84:
Thanks guys. I happen to figure it out while waiting for a response haha. I appreciate it though.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] guod2002:
Phydo, used your app for a bit, don't know if anyone else has had this happen but after checking a few servers and doing the whole skip setup thing, it would take me back to my blur homescreen, which is odd bc i use launcher pro, as soon as id hit the home key it would take me back to my lp homescreen, not really a problem/bug just something i found odd and thought id share, then again maybe its just something im missing/dont understand. Anyways thanks for all the effort you have and are currently putting into this.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ROB281:
Happens to me too, not a big deal imo
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Ultrastigi:
just a quick question. If moto wants this unlocked but big red is stopping it then why are people signing a petition to moto to unlock it? Shouldn't it be to big red?

Sorry I know this isnt the place to ask just didnt know where else to ask.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Proff3ss0r Farnsw0rth:
I think Verizon is the right target honestly but I would think moto would have quite a bit of pull though. I think google owning moto mobile gives them even more pull. Android is meant to be open source and if google let moto run their mobiles locked that would be a major 180 from android OPEN SOURCE project's (aosp) mission to be well, open. Even if it is moto locking them google would change that for us I would think.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] znel52:
well it wouldn't be that hard to send the petition to verizon as well not really a big deal. IMO motorola doesn't want this thing to be unlocked either. If they did they wouldn't have put so much work into locking this thing up. I know, I know they have stated that they have changed their stance on this but I think they are just saying that to take some of the heat off of them and put it on the carriers.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
Motorola made the zoom unlockable and it went over well with all. They claimed months ago they would start implementing it this year
[Motorola Droid Bionic] znel52:
yeah they said that months ago. where's it at?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
I dunno I think if they were serious it woulda been by now. They said q3 I thought
[Motorola Droid Bionic] znel52:
yeah it sucks :/ this phone is pretty beastly as is but man if the bootloader was unlocked I think we would start seeing some really amazing stuff.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] xkape:
It would be hard to keep your bootloader unlocked if the carriers wanted it locked. Without the carries, who needs the phone?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] GTvert90:
Didn't someone say a moto employee told the atrix crowd about this method and that's how it got unlocked? Is this how the photon got unlocked? Can someone even confirm the omap can even be unlocked via software? Wasn't the hardware on the X actually alerted? that's what started the while e fuse thing I believe. The x was a TI processor. The Atrix and photon are tegra 2. Just a thought.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Nismo6921:
I found .892 what should I do now
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Delete it. It's already been found.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Nismo6921:
Well umm I deleted it and then rebooted and I got a message saying an unexpected error occurred.

Will I keep seeing that? Or will it go away?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
That never happened to me. It will put two files in /cache. Did you get rid of both of them?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zachdroid:
Did you go back to the default server after sniffing around?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
I deleted a file from /cache and rebooted once and it gave me unexpected error because it wanted to try to install. It didn't reappear tho
[Motorola Droid Bionic] HaYNigloo:
You probably d/l'd the update, in which case you'll have to use a root explorer, go into /cache, and delete the update there.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
I know I was just replying to someone else
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dadsterflip:
Ok. Installed the app. Did what the op said. I picked the server and check updates. It brings me to the browser and white screen and thats it. Doesnt do anything else.

Would it tell me if there is no updates or what? I dont even see my data arrow light up.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
You using a custom rom?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dadsterflip:
Yes... as soon as you said that i rememer you gotta be stock lol duuh...

Thanks and i shall be stock and go server fishing hopefully i get a bite.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
Or remove fotakill.apk from apps then reboot and try
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dadsterflip:
Oh cool. Even easier
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Nismo6921:
How exactly do I do that?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nutpn:
is there any way it may

It couldnt be on the device already right,and as far as unlock code can it be like 16 or 32 characters,thanks,just some questions,thanks
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
Go to production in the cloud select and choose master-blur
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
Its not really about a code. The bootloader doesn't support unlock. We need one that dooes
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Spectatr:
Hmm....I was able to successfully use your app on UNL3ASH3D 1.4.....I had no idea you needed stock.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nutpn:
cloud

Found the cloud and production,i can devote plenty time to this at least every so much in almost 14 hours a day,will it just come up for a update or what will happen,thanks
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
Just gotta remove fotakill.apk
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
Yes. It will ask you if you want to update. At that point you're probably better off cancelling and telling everyone else what server you have it found on. If you're real brave the original post has instructions to do it. Just don't install. Ever.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zachdroid:
I'm thinking something is coming. all of the servers were empty tonight. Makes me think they're revising something else for us to find. Giddy up.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nutpn:
question on

I have a droid 3 besides my bionic,if im strolling the servers with my droid 3 ,it will only detect what updates are for it right,either way I found a update tonight at 12:03 am,labeled 5.6.999
[Motorola Droid Bionic] 0mie:
Which server?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nutpn:
QA2

QA2 update 5.6.999

---------- Post added at 12:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 AM ----------

Was you able to get it

---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 AM ----------

It has a camera update, i did see that much,im gonna send it on tomorrow to p3.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] 0mie:
On QA2 there is only 5.5.999, that's old...we've had that file for a while
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nutpn:
yes i downloaded it

Yes i got it, this only came up thru my DROID3- not my bionic ,bionic didnt pick nothing up,,slid it out of cache and saved it,even under settings, update, it comes up and says there is a update available,tomorrow i will find a way to get it to p3 to check it out,it looks like theres a small camera fix included besides?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Hashcode:
We found that update last month.

It's a bad file as I recall (will force you to fastboot restore).

The way to check it is in the manifest files there are some build date settings. You don't want any file that was built before 8/13. That's when the current patch (5.6.890 for Droid 3) was built.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rlewis312010:
Waiting for news but keep finding all bootloader threads are slowing down. No files to find:-(
[Motorola Droid Bionic] HaYNigloo:
The usual servers came up empty just now 6:40pm PST
[Motorola Droid Bionic] HaYNigloo:
Only QE2 came up with the 999 update, all other servers turned up an error or were updated. More than usual activity on Simpsons, while the 2 usual staging servers turned up errors... Interesting...

From my BIONIC COMMANDO
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Nismo6921:
servers keep timing out...

are all the servers down today? I've searched like 5 and got timeouts.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] HaYNigloo:
Reboot your phone, happened to me too. After reboot server checking went fine.

From my BIONIC COMMANDO using XDA App
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
Staging1 5.5.893
[Motorola Droid Bionic] HaYNigloo:
I just noticed that too, anything we could use!

From my BIONIC COMMANDO using XDA App
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
Yeah. Gave it to p3 who's been looking at them and comparing webtop, radio, and bootloader versions. He said 892 was the update proposed, so maybe this is an updated version. I just don't want to lose root, or the ability for future updates
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
I'm using the r3configur3d rom (1.7) from the other thread - any chance that doing so would compromise my use of cheesecake? I'm wondering because he has the system build as 5.5.892. I'll try a few servers and report back.

When I press 'setup,' it says "checking for updates," then "this is taking longer than expected, we will try to continue in the background." I press OK, then it asks me for the location services (VZW, google, standalone). next. done. done. takes me back to the default blur launcher. if I press home it goes back to my go launcher. I'm guessing I have to be back on stock for this to work?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Cheesecake works fine on custom roms. I was able to pull 3 updates.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
Ok cool. I'll keep trying. Thanks. :D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zachdroid:
Droidth3ory has the system build as .892 because he pulled a bunch of patch file and some system ui from it in the building of v1.6 and newer so far.

A new update is awesome news. Good show phydo.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
I just found .893 as well, but the zip file and the crc file are both named 892. :confused: either way I assume that since these have been found previously they aren't needed, so I'll continue scanning for a bit.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
You gotta remove fotakill.apk to get updates. Maybe reboot after you remove it
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
I saw that in a previous post, but I looked under /system/app and I didn't see it. Would that be somewhere else? Either way, I just downloaded and pulled .893/.892, but if it would make a difference I'll remove that apk.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Damn. It's like we've been figured out. I couldn't get anything to even load today.

Down, and down hard.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
I saw the .893/.892 build again on staging 1, so if they have figured anything out, they haven't pulled everything out, unless that's the build they want to send to Verizon to use OTA. I am, however, noticing that all of the QA servers are giving me timeout errors.

edit: I just ran through every server, top to bottom, and they all timed out. Perhaps you were right? :(
[Motorola Droid Bionic] papi92:
Maybe there being updated. Give it time. I'll see if P3droid knows anything
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Everything timed out for me today.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
All staging servers live for me
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Think it has anything to do with region? Midwest here. Just curious.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:

I got this to run on the Dx2. It connected on a few servers and got the reply: Up to date.... Will it look for x2 updates?

Are you spoofing here? Then I can just change the numbers?

Thanks for the work.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zachdroid:
A bunch of nada on the servers tonight. Only 893 and a bunch of nada. A couple of dev servers we're up intermittently though hope that's a good sign.
