[General Questions and Answers] userno69:
I just got an Android tablet (the Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet) and I am really enjoying it. I'm wondering what apps I should use, though. On my phone for Twitter I use TweetDeck which is fantastic, but the interface kind of sucks for tablet use. I really like the fact that you can have unlimited columns with as many lists as you want.

The only apps I've found so far for Twitter that are designed for tablets are TweetComb and Plume. Plume is the nicest looking, but apparently you can only have a maximum of three columns, and display only one list at a time. Furthermore, my most used list refuses to load on Plume for some strange reason.

TweetComb is a little better, I can't have unlimited lists but I can have up to three. I would really like to be able to have as many as I want by creating new columns, though. Any suggestions in this regard?

Then there is the office suite question. I have the keyboard folio accessory for my tablet so I can basically use the tablet as a laptop and I want to be able to do some work. Which of the office suites would be best suited for this scenario? Unfortunately, the 15 minute return window makes it hard to play with them to figure it out, especially when I want to test the features in the paid only versions...

And finally, what are your favorite browsers for tablets? Stock is fine, but I'm curious if there is anything that provide a better and more efficient experience. Thanks for any input! :)

I turn the flash Cyanogenmod7 and before I made a backup of the previous rom ... After date wipe, wipe the flash cache and the cel Cyanogenmod7 all good ... As I was driving and could not deal well because I gave him and wipe wipe data cache and gave him back the backup restore I did and then I went back pal rom q na had .......... And now I come home and do the same procedure I did to flash the Cyanogenmod7 and I do not go up

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rembrandtlnx:
Im not sure if i got what you mean but so far this is what i got:

1. You did a nandroid backup of your old rom (CWM 4)

2. You flashed the Cyanogenmod Stable and everything went well, the Cyanogen worked fine.

3. You did a Cyanogenmod Stable nandroid backup (cwm 5)

4. You restored the old rom (working) from the nandroid backup

5. You wanted to restore Cyanogenmod nandroid backup but you cant'.

So far i discovered CWM 5 can restore old backups (from cwm 4) but when you are in cwm 4, you cant find anymore backups done with cwm 5.

That's the problem is it?

It's just because, you cant resetore a cwm 5 backup, when you go back to cwm 4

[General Questions and Answers] Phenomenon:
I was just thinking about how much I miss my HD2. It was the best phone ever just because it could run almost every OS for every phone. Now with Windows Mobile phased out, will there ever be another phone that can run WP7 and Android?
[General Questions and Answers] cajunflavoredbob:
It may be possible in the future to run Android on some WP7 handsets. It is doubtful that you'll ever see much more than Android being ported to other devices. It just takes the right devs and a popular handset. The next multi-platform device that is sweeping the community is the HP Touchpad. I've been calling it the HD2 revival for a couple of months now.

update: Problem not resolved, found a workaround See post #2
[Motorola Photon 4G] Harry_Spade:
DID a hard reset though Android Recovery, and then tried to download the NEW OTA, and during installation got the same error. I am currently on 4.2.7 build 154_6

Right Now trying to RSD 4.3.6, will update

Update: Flashing Build 4.3.6 through RSD failed, I get the screen filled with noise

Update: Flashing 154_5 with RSD Success

system downloaded 4.2.7 OTA, and then Download 4.3.6, all works

BUT it blows i had to do all this.....could Bootstrap recovery be blamed??? i have another photon, that was rooted that same way as this but that one had no bootstrap recovery and the OTA went fine

update: http://www.uploadhere.com/UPPUJTGZNO if people need the 154_5 full SBF
[Motorola Photon 4G] Nullinvoid:
same here, update fails. stock rooted
[Motorola Photon 4G] Harry_Spade:
Download it and as soon as it starts to install, press Volume up AND down, it will tell you whats going on, i had to go all the way back to 154_5 to get it going, hard reset did not work

Do you have bootstrap installed and if so, ever restored a backup?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Nullinvoid:
no bootstrap, just rooted
[Motorola Photon 4G] Harry_Spade:
well try pressing volume up and down and lets see what the error is, sometimes it can be resolved.

[Motorola Photon 4G] samcrac:
I also am just 1 click rooted, during the update it starts and soon goes into the exclamation mark. I don't know what the bootstrap is; I just one click rooted. I have tried to update twice now with no luck...
[Motorola Photon 4G] MultiDev:
That means that the build.prop has been modified and does not match what the installer is expecting (hash wise). Should be easily fixed by switching in build.prop from the stock sbf.
[Motorola Photon 4G] samcrac:
I forgot to mention that besides having OCR I have the modified webtop dock software to run from an HDMI cable. Would that be my issue in updating? Is there any way to get the original files (it was really dumb but i just went ahead and deleted them and didnt save them elsewhere before)
[Motorola Photon 4G] MultiDev:
Download stock sbf of the version you have. Switch in files that fail hash check with adb or root explorer.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Joutes:
After clicking "Download" button process doesn't start visually but if I trying to check update again I get the message "An update is currently being downloaded.

update... mine is downloading now. There is a progress bar in notifications now. I guess just wait it out and maybe it will "unstick" for you
[Motorola Photon 4G] Nullinvoid:
hold your horses and wait for the download to finish.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Harry_Spade:
I tried that, I did modify my build.prop and I had backed up my original one, I also did a hard reset and still got the same error, untill i had to RSD flash 154_5. Question though, How do you extract a build.prop file from a sbf, what do you use to do it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sarandepp:
I have waited now for 17 hours , Nothing Happens ,

But its sucking my battery , I have to keep the 3G data on all the time ,

how to cancel it , There's nothing I can do about it , it just really annoys me in the notification bar ., :confused: :confused:

[Motorola Photon 4G] Nullinvoid:
reboot and see if it helps, or connect to wifi
[Motorola Photon 4G] anshoo:
I also am not able to update to the new OTA.

I receive the following error message:

assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/SprintOMADMConnMoPlugin.apk", "looongstring1", "loongstring2")

I deleted the .apk file to stop Sprint searching for network at the beginning. I guess that is the reason why its not letting me update. Is there anywhere I can find this file from? Does Sprint/Motorola provide it? Am I screwed?

:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Harry_Spade:
ROOTING is not the Problem, my other photon had the OCR and updated fine, some of the APKs are getting modified, if nothing goes the last resort might be what i had to do.

Anyone can please provide the methods to extract specific files from sbf, that might help, the SBF would have to be from the current file system as your phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] anshoo:
I agree. Even in my case, I have deleted an apk which is causing this. Need to find a way to get the apk back or else the previous update is going to be my last :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] sarandepp:
Rebooted , wifi , tried everything , its in 0% , it says it is being downloaded and will notify me , it sux really, it wont go away also , it stays forever in my notification :confused: :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] Mustangmatt1966:
Are you rooted w/recovery? If so go to your backup of the stock ROM using bootstrap recovery, restore the backup and then try and install the update again. I had to do this to bypass the "pending download" in the notification tray.

Hope this helps...
[Motorola Photon 4G] sarandepp:
I have no idea what you have typed here ., :D :D :D :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Nullinvoid:
sounds like a connection problem, I've downloaded the update about 10 times now . it downloads fast but fails to install
[Motorola Photon 4G] MultiDev:
You might consider using RSDLite and the final SBF file. Both are located here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202666

That way you bypass any connection problems and its a faster download anyway.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Mustangmatt1966:
ok, I dont know what to tell you then :) haha So your phone is stock and not rooted, unlocked or anything of the sort? I would suggest the Final SBF as noted above but if you don't know what root is, it might be too complicated.

it'll not work in the unlocked bootloader. and it doesnt matter you rooted or not.

Thanks, worked like a charm

I tried to flash once again and used the volume up and down trick and got the same error mesage as Nullinvoid and OP. To you guys, I downloaded the SBF you provided; now how exactly do I flash it? If I flash this will it erase all of my phone settings? Thanks!

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

after you flash the SBF, your phone will update itself twice to the lastest OTA update. after that you can one click root and be happy again
[Motorola Photon 4G] stricklerjosh:
Update worked fine for me
[Motorola Photon 4G] Harry_Spade:
Flashing the sbf thru rsd will delete all apps but it will not delete user data such as music, videos, pictures etc

Another question people that cant update, did any of u restore apps from backup suck as titanium, astro etc
[Motorola Photon 4G] KurtBiz:
Nm.. 5 minutes after this post (and an hour after original download attempt), the download started automatically and went on to install successfully.

I have the same issue. Stock, and reboot/battery pull do nothing to help.

I just hope it starts automatically downloading at some point and that I don't have to factory reset.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Suroky:
Check you have a stock distribution before upgrading

Just to let you know guys. You need to be in stock mode (root or unrooted) but stock files present before trying to upgrade.

If you don't have all the files present in the stock distribution, the update will fail to patch the files it need to, or will not validate cause the expected directory structure is not ok.

If you want to get rid of apps or steps, rename the .apk files instead of deleting them. Then, before an update, restore the names to the original ones.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Syph3r:
Question: Assuming the update downloads and installs correctly, will it break root?

Sent from my Photon 4G ......
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I believe some people have said they lost root but were able to get it back with the one click method. I don't know, I haven't tried I always use Torpedo myself. But yes, I think you do and I believe you can get it back too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
Finally got mine to work after about 18 hours (including sitting at 0% download all night). Pulled the battery this am, and about 3 hours later - suddenly got the 25 seconds to install prompt and it worked.

Stock and rooted - no changes except rooting.

There's certainly something different about this OTA.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Suroky:
Yes, it will break it. But you can regain it easily with the same tools as before.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sarandepp:

[Motorola Photon 4G] dschoms:
Update

It took 3-4 hours to download the update (via wifi N (I was geting around 7mg downstream)). I was starting to get a little nervous about the whole procedure and was wondering what I would do with my new brick. I rebooted a couple of times and still got the message "downloading will notify when complete". Lo and behold, it finished and asked if I wante to install now or later. I said what the hell and selected now and it worked! I did lose root but went back to 1 click, re-rooted and life is good. I guess if I had downloaded via 3G instead of wireless I'd probably still be waiting. I downloaded the IFF-sunfire file, expecting the worst and after I realized it was 482 meg I think I understand why the upgrade download took so long. There should probably be some disclaimer explaining potential download times depending on protocol. Anyway, it worked for me and I can hardly wait for the next curve ball. Alcohol is a wonderful pacifier.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Have you all ready done all the updates so you are on the latest software?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mcp6530:
Has anyone noticed the dramatic decrease in battery life since update? My phone didnt even make it overnight!

[Motorola Photon 4G] brianbrifri:
Anyway to install the sbf without using a computer?
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
Well, although a colossal PITA, the OTA is working fine now.

Started with stock rooted. Nothing modded or deleted.

Took forever to download and install - 16 hrs - needed a battery pull.

Ran OCR - Root Check said I'm not rooted. Then got the "SU binary out of date"; SU failed to update when I tried manually. Uninstalled SU (v3 with Elite add-on), reinstalled, now rooted OK. Problem here may be that OCR was pushing old SU v2 stuff to phone and corrupting my v3 install (?).

Battery at 90% after 7 hours at work with WiFi and push-Exchange (which is better than normal)

USB charging working fine.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Will the OTA auto install? This is the first time I have had an issue with it. It is now asking me to install. Just wanna make sure it has to be granted permissions.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
A lot of people had mentioned that. Mine was fine. Root, download battery calibrator, run your battery all the way down, charge it all the way back up, and use click on battery calibrator when you're at 100%. Try that and see if there's a difference! Good luck!

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

The OTA should auto-install...I had tried to update the phone, but there wasn't a download status bar so I got fed up and flashed the 198_6 SBF. It's all gravy now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I'm trying to avoid it actually installing. It auto downloaded. But I'm unlocked on homebase. And I don't wanna install it and screw something up and then have to do a recovery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Yeah, i totally know what you mean. What I might do is reflash the rom or restore your latest recovery, and then edit the build.prop before you get the OTA update. In your current state, I'm not sure what editing the build.prop would do. It might still attempt to install the update if you were to reboot.

Your thoughts?

Best,

K
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I might have to do that. Has anyone used the RSD flash? I'm pondering trying to find one of the P-ROM's that has decent tweaks and such. Unless the RSD version or whatever is pretty quick. Cause I hate stock, and I'm on the Home Base and happy with it, but the Dev left, so I don't see anymore support for it. For now anyway.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
I used the RSD instead of the ota because I got impatient...everything seems to be working fine...
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Are you running a stock ROM then?
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Yeah...bummmer...i liked the alien theme...thinking would flashing yays deodexed rom based on this stock build abd then flash alien them on top work?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I got the Alien Theme over top the Home Base ROM. So I may just do that, I've been pondering it.....we'll see what happens, If I get too pissed with this update bull**** I just may. Lol.
