[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
The N1 does not have gorilla glass, but it does have a hardended glass (gorilla is just a brand name for a type of treated glass).

And if you are getting discoloring, it is definitely the AMOLED or SLCD screen (depending on your phone). The digitizer is the actual touchscreen part. It can still function with the cracks, but you can usually feel that they are there. Both are replaceable, although, it isn't the easiest thing to do. I know HTC will replace the AMOLED screen for around $110 and they offer the advanced exchange program with it. I would assume similar prices for the digitizer (although, the definitely isn't your problem, unless both are cracked).

SEIDIO Surface Combo (Case & Holster) - Black

Looks like Seidio has a case / holster combo that they are now selling. Site claims to be for the AT&T version, but I can't tell from the pictures if it covers the upper mic hole or not. Its kind of steep at $49, but this is what you need, check it out.

(how long should way till boot ?)
[Defy General] rishi2100:
1. remove your battery

2. reinsert it

3. go in stock recovery by pressing power and volume down button at the same time.

4. when (!) this sign appears press volume down and up at the same time.

5.choose clear data

6.choose clear cache

7. flash any froyo rom

8. root it

9. install 2nd init (preferably 1.4)

10. reboot twice

11. install cm7.1 by choosing update (CM 7.1) from zip

12. install google apps

13. reboot

14. there you go

15. enjoy....
[Defy General] trabel:
o.k

from what i wrote ....

phone not going into stock recovery ...

and it keep freezing on motorola logo.

i reinstall battery , press vol down and power (for how long ?) usely anroid icon should be in 5 - 10 sec ...

anyhow , no metter what rom or fix i flash i cant get the phone back on , or i get logo freez or i get boot loops

cant enter recovery menu in any of the flashes.

i dont want to try 2.3.4 roms as there are no coming back from them

please some ideas

thx

Can you spot a blue led blink at boot?

[Defy General] farsight73:
I don't think the guy has 2nd-init installed properly. Or the rooting was not done correctly. He must go into the stock recovery to perform the wipe/clear before he can proceed on flashing another sbf. I would suggest the OP to flash any froyo 2.2.2 then.

Rooting and CWM could easily get ruin if one doesn't install it properly. Next time please confirmed root is working by installing apps that required root access before attempting installing CWM. Suggesting 2nd-init v1.9 is good to start with as it fairly stable which also come build-in custom recovery.
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
he posted that he can not enter stock recovery. This is caused (probably) by a bad sbf flash. I would try flashing the sbf you said that you actually got to boot. A properly flashed sbf will give you stock recovery. Pull battery for 30 seconds re insert it, then hold vol- and power the phone on. Continue to hold vol- for 5 seconds or so. If you insert your battery and the phone automatically starts to boot then it is too late and you should have already been holding down vol- in which case you would want to press and continue to hold vol- prior to inserting the battery.
[Defy General] trabel:
o.k

thx for any answer

but

phone not going into stock recovery , maybe root done well or not , now it doesnt metter , as i tried many stock romes

non of them get me to boot , none of them get me to stock recovery.

i tried romes that works for sure , and none of them are working for me

i d/l many of the romes , none of them working

all give me freez boot logo of motorola.

i see many fixes , what the fixes for ?

is there any way to do it all ? as i cant go to recovery and wipe phone
[Defy General] trabel:
any ideas ppl ??

:confused:
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
I have seen in the past, people who report successful sbf flashing with rsd but still no boot or recovery. None that I tried or anyone else tried to help ever got their phones to boot. You are in a bootloop after flashing a sbf because you need to wipe in stock recovery, BUT you don't have stock recovery! There is only so much that you can do without having recovery when you are in bootloop. Not to rain on your parade but I honestly believe it is some sort of hardware issue. If RSD reports that all CG md5 checksum's match after it flashes then you should have stock recovery. But you don't????? I think it is hardware
[Defy General] farsight73:
I'm begining to start thinking your rsdlite might be the root cause here.

You might need to try another PC to flash or trying another rsdlite version.

Were you flashing this in sbf format??

Isn't these Gingerbread files???
[Defy General] trabel:
O.k

Its not seem to be h/w problem, as its a brand new phone from box....

But i took phone home, gonna install new rsd and will try on other pc.

I will post results.

As i read more ppl with same problem.

I will post later details of what i hD in the phone before, maybe someone can identify the original region and sfb phone came with
[Defy General] trabel:
o.k

i got some progress...

i installed on a reformated laptop , new rsd 5.5

installed drivers , and tested flashing the orange 112 version.

phone is powered up after flash and goes to recovery .

i then wiped all and wait , phone is powered up.

but after about 10-20 secs it reboots.

i then wiped again , and flashed nordic 2.2.2 version.

phone is powered up , also recovery and wipe.

phone kkep rebooting after few secs from full turn on.

i can access menu .

i guess this is better then not booting and no recovery.

what should i try now to fix the reboots ?
[Defy General] trabel:

[Defy General] zyxwvut:
hmm. just seems weird that RSD would flash successful, verify CG md5s as "match" after flashing and still be the cause of the problem. I guess stranger things have happened! CRAPPY MOTOROLA SOFTWARE :p
[Defy General] trabel:
well , from old razar motor crapy phones , had weird flashing problems , try flashing newer/older or different from original soft phone will not boot , go back to original soft , all is o.k ...

only flashed 2-3 defy , so i cant say its a weird problem for me , thought rsd did flash the files , and only phone freez after reboot.

but funny is now , after phone is booted and rooted again , installed cm7 again , and lol phone froze on google again (dejavu)

btw ,on recovery (stock) i getting all the time

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

????

anyhow , i folowed the guide in first stickly, i'll finish it exactly ;)

How to fix it:

Download this SBF and Flash it

Root your Phone

Download 2nd Init 1.4.2 and Install ClockworkMod Recovery

Download and install this Nandroid Backup

Enter Recovery, Wipe Data/Cache

After wiping, turn off your phone

Turn it on and get immediately into Bootloader mode

Flash this Fixed SBF

Delete Data/Cache again and reboot.

You WONT be able to install full SBFs of any Éclair or Froyo since these Androids have lower CG Versions.

**NOTE*: I just rephrased the original post since it can be a bit confusing, it is linked as source below.

**NOTE2**: If you are using a non-Chinese defy, DO NOT USE THE CAMERA FLASH while on the Chinese rom, it WILL kill your LED.

Source: ((Original post here))

How to Install CM7 after Installing a Full Gingerbread SBF: Ok, first of all do all the steps above on "Installed full Gingerbread SBF and can’t go back to another rom"

Root your Defy (Using SuperOneClick 1.7 and not 1.9).

Install SystemRecovery from GoAPK. If you install 2nd init, you'll just get into a boot loop and have to start over.

Reboot to recovery. Do a factory wipe, then do the cache wipe.

Install CM7 .Zip and then gapps zip file. DO NOT wipe again, you'll just go back to 2.2.2 CEE (if you accidentally do this, you can pick up again from step 3).

profit!

thx

Well, after long play with it.... Something is realy weird!

No metter what rom im trying to flash, orher then the jordan one that worked, both 2.3.3 i try before now give me black screen, the 2.3.4 give me phone restart every 10 secs. And i cant seem to install cwm without hqving boot loops . ...

[Defy General] jimminez:
Delete all drivers and redownload and install then uninstall RSD Lite and reinstall to 4.9 ( Google it) then reboot your pc.. dont connect your defy yet do it later as its says in my little guide

then open RSD Lite and boot your defy to bootloader (Power + vol up) dont Connect defy yet.

choose nordic 2.2.2 in to RSD Lite then connect your Defy and let it install drivers.. then Press Start...

that worked for me wen i got lost and no one told me what to do soo i indprovise :D

You may want to take your SD card out and put it in your computer. transfer all data to a safe place then put your SD back in the phone and format it. You can then put your data back on the card and should be good to go unless the card itself is borked which does happen occasionally. Happened to me and I lost a years worth of pictures and other data.

Why are a ton of Android Apps "not compatible with this device"? it's so annoying...

Is there a way they can be "compatible"
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Zlatty:
Your options:

1. Install on another device, push the apk to your tablet via email

2. Use a hacked market app (if there is one for the flyer) to download any app

3. Change the preferences file on your Flyer so that market thinks you have a different device (hard mode from #2)

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Try Amazon App market for android or Aptoid, they are a bit more flexible on some apps, but you won't find all apps there.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tydgilyard:
Sometime certain apps are made for certain devices or certain resolutions. The android market being that we run android 2.3. It thinks we have an oversize phone and some apps aren't able to pan out or zoom to a certain factor to where it will take up all of our screen estate. some apps i tried that work on my phone on 2.3 look pixelated and low in detail on my tablet because was mad for a less resolution. Or its just simply not for our device. Just install apps you have on your android and see how they look to you and see if they work. Just takes trial and error.

I did it last nite to put Handcent and a few others on my View.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B. East:
I have just recently rooted and s-off my desire HD and now i'm looking to flash a new rom.

Do I need to wipe the phone before I flash a new one?

do I need to flash a new radio as well?

This is my first time doing this.

also could you suggest a rom that is stable and will give better battery life.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
Android Revolution HD is popular among these forums. Very stable and excellent battery life.

You will need to wipe the phone as you are coming from a different ROM. Had you been coming from the same ROM albeit an earlier version, then you wouldnt need to wipe. In all other cases you do need to wipe.

You do not need to flash a radio unless you are having problems with the current one. This is because flashing a radio has a much greater risk of causing problems than flashing a ROM does. Therefore try to keep radio flashing to a minimum. Although it is recommended to flash the recommended radio for each ROM you install. Most of the time however the same radio is recommended for many ROMS.

If you need any help with the steps just ask and we will do our best to help :)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B. East:
I have had a look on the android revolution hd rom page, and according to how I read things, am I right in thinking that I would have to flash the radio on this page to be compatible with the rom?

I read somewhere that if the rom is not compatible with the radio you can run into major problems.

how would I check if my existing radio is compatible with this or any other rom.

since I am new to this, I would rather not flash a new radio till I become more confident in what i am doing.

I have read the rom flashing guide, and the process seems straight forward, but its the radio and rom compatible issues that i am concerned about as I do not want to brick my phone.

[Motorola Atrix 2] shanghei:
I purchased the Atrix 2, and tested out playing tv shows using various video players through HDMI mirroring and each video file on every video player resulted in jerky video playback. Plays fine on phone, even plays fine on original atrix using hdmi and video playback mode.

Anyone else who has an atrix 2 have this problem?
[Motorola Atrix 2] g2tegg:
Guess the Atrix 2 just isnt as good as the first one. Unless your tv just cant handle that substantial upgrade you made, and now you are forced to upgrade your TV.

On a serious note now, try restarting your phone.. Install take killer and see how much ram you have to play with. Or you just might have to wait for a update from Moto. Could be some codec hardware/software issues. Good luck!
[Motorola Atrix 2] JayRolla:
Task killer is nothing but a battery drainer, dont install it please!
[Motorola Atrix 2] shanghei:
I demuxed the video files and the video plays 100% smooth with NO audio. I am converting the audio to mp3 to see if the video will play fine with that codec.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shanghei:
File with mp3 audio didnt even play but I converted the aac audio from 48hz to 44hz and that made a difference. File with 48hz noticeably had alot of frame jumps while file with 44hz still had frame jumps but it didnt have that many. Both files look fine on phone. Problem is while mirroring.
[Motorola Atrix 2] malickie:
Don't install a Task Killer just use the one the phone comes with that is built in.
[Motorola Atrix 2] malickie:
Ok so I just tried HDMI Mirroring and it works flawlessly granted you really need to reformat the videos to an acceptable format considering I tried to watch a non formated .mkv video and because of the compression of that video type it did stutter a bit. .avi has a slight issue with Not actually playing at least the one I attempted anyway. .mp4 played perfectly with no issues at all. Will let you know if I figure out any tricks for optimizing videos.

Edit: Yea ok so after playing with Multiple Videos it seems that it depends on the compression of the video as far as I can tell, considering I just got a bunch of Other .avi's to function with no issues at all. So yea seems video related.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shanghei:
All the files I tested were video files I already converted to work with my Atrix, which works on my atrix perfectly fine using the Entertainment Center feature of the original Atrix. The files also work perfectly fine on the SGS 2 mirroring. The files play perfectly fine on the Atrix 2 with the exception of mirroring, the frames jerk randomly. I removed the audio from the video file and it worked perfectly. I tried playing a low res divx and it still did the frame jumps.
