[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
Yeah you wont be able to use the current version of any one click root method anymore because you upgraded your kernel and radio and those cant be downgraded.

The only method I know that works after updating kernel/radio is p3droid's manual method.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] stevessvt:
What if you flash the original full FXZ file using RSD lite, will that put back the original kernal and radios?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
No. It is currently impossible to downgrade kernels and radios.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] stevessvt:
OK, so question, pardon my newbness, coming from a Thunderbolt and bought the Bionic yesterday, I rooted, flashed bionic bootstrap, and made a backup of my stock rom. Then I flashed Blurred 2.0 which is based on .893. If for what ever reason I need to go back stock, can I do so, or am I hosed?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
You can always go back to 886 by flashing the system.img file.

If you're talking about doing that while still running that ROM, I don't think you should. I don't kno what would happen.

You will never be able to downgrade your kernel or radio files though (these keep you from using the root method most people know). P3droid's manual method works though.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BFirebird101:
Wait, so when I want to sell this phone in a few weeks, can somebody post a method to return back to stock, etc?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BFirebird101:
Nvm, I thought I had read that one click restore wouldn't work, but it will
[Motorola Droid Bionic] droid3d:
Tivo7,

i am back to .889 rooted and ready to brick my phone again wow Motorola really trying but thanks to everyone involve we could continue modding our phones with no worries.

thank you again.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] stevessvt:
I just bootstrapped my backup of my stock .886 back no problem, from blurry 2.0. Booted up fine, everything appeared to be working fine. Then I went back to my back up of blurry 2.0 and it went back fine.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
Just follow my guide and you can get to 893 rooted.

You're welcome.

Nice. You can go to 893 with my guide.

Th3ory works on 893.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] stevessvt:
Thats what I was on,...went from th3ory R3 Blurr3d 2.0, based on .893, back to my stock .886 backup I made in bootstrap, worked fine, and back to the back up of Blurr3y I made in bootstrap again. No problems at all.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
Cool cool.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Terri M:
I was unable to use the original full FXZ. When I tried to go back to stock 886, RAD would fail to flash. I had to use P3's method to get back to 886, and then used his method to root.

This is P3's post...

[Motorola Droid Bionic] stevessvt:
Thanks, but since asking that question Ive nandroided back to stock .886 with a backup ive made. I know the radios and kernals are still .893, but everything worked fine.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
Awesome. Good to know.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] hdtechk:
If that's all you did you don't have 893 radio or kernel you have to do forever root and cheesecake app to get OTA update blurred 2.0 is based on update but dose not flash kernel or radio
[Motorola Droid Bionic] anuraj1:
This saved me. Forever root didn't take when I updated to .893 so I had to do it manually off of a nandroid restore. Thank you so much!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
You're welcome :D

I just didn't want others to feel all the pain I did on this, so I posted the steps I took to fix it.

This is basically just a guide putting everyone else's guides together in one place.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] desertdude:
Well a few weeks back my diamond which I got in Dec 2009 finally died a peacefull death in its sleep. I had forgotten to charge it and it switch off, hooked it up to the charger and left it over night, next morning nothing.

Totally dead like when there is no battery in the unit. Tried everything from hard to soft resets, PC connection.....still flat line.

So I finally got a Samsung Omnia 7 with Mango, loving it, but would be shame to use the diamond as a paperweight from now on and would be usefull as a spare phone. Searched the forum and found nothing that really addresses the issue, so any help would be very very usefull in this regards.

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid X2] dabombk1:
I'm computer saavy but not Android. If I follow the steps to root....will the phone be totally cool after the process? I'd like to uninstall some Verizon bloat. Are there some must do's after rooting? Is there a noticeable performance gain after eliminating the bloat?
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
Rooting is a must; and removing the bloat is great, but installing a custom ROM is better performance wise.

Try a couple ROMs and find what one you like best. I use Liberty because I find it to be the fastest.
[Motorola Droid X2] rp076:
Sorry bout the thanks..hit the button by accident. As for rooting, if you follow the directions correctly, you SHOULD be ok" but there's always a chance you can have a problem. That's why the directions state at your own risk. And yes you will notice your phone will run considerably faster once you debloat the Verizon crapware. Also installing roms such as nitros eclipse or Kejars31's liberty will also improve the phones performance. Im using liberty & its pretty quick, but both are great. Hope that helps you out ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
I haven't used Liberty, so I can't vouch for it. But Eclipse is a great rom to try. The devs remove most bloatware, as well as the Blur skin, unless something is necessary in almost all roms. Both of these things, as well as some performance scripts and other built in modifications make a significant difference. Just be sure you have the correct version of android running before flashing, and just to be on the safe side, be sure to download RSD Lite and the correct SBF for 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 whichever you choose.
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
If you want a ROM, I'd suggest Molten, fastest I've seen!
[Motorola Droid X2] Zeravnos:
I'm currently using Eclipse and the V6 script and let me tell you, it is now the phone it should have been stock. Rooting and flashing ROMs are a must for this device, and as long as you follow directions and are crystal clear on what they tell you to do, there is little to no risk involved. I was in your position when I got my X1, and after I installed the Apex ROM, there was no chance I'd ever use stock again. Good luck my friend!
[Motorola Droid X2] genpat:
Make sure you follow all of the directions and read up anytime you have a question. I have learned much and more from all the people around here and their informative posts. It is intimidating at first to root, install recovery then install a ROM but once you've done it it is really awesome.
[Motorola Droid X2] Romans8vs1:
I want to try Liberty on my rooted X2 but cannot find it anywhere. I've searched, but may have missed it. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance for your help.

[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I am currently stock rooted. And yes removing g bloat will free up some ram and u should notice some difference in performance.

But I recommend freezing before removing since there is a lot of apps that are interdependent on each other so u need to be careful what u remove.

most of the roms on here will remove the junk for u anyways.

Just make a nandroid of stock after u root and install our bootstrap so u can always go back to stock if u would like or need to.

If u r just looking to remove apps like kindle amazon blockbuster etc.. u will be fine. Feel free to ask any questions (u can also private message me if ud like) and ill do my best to help ya out that's what this forum is for :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Romans8vs1:
Thank you!
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
And don't worry about the 2.3.4 but anymore, Nitro has fixed it and it should be gone with his next release!
[Motorola Droid X2] GibsA750:
Besides for the debloating/freezing and flashing roms that other posters have mentioned, one of the best things I like about rooting is being able to use an app titled Keyboard Manager. It is only available to root users, but it allows you to set keyboards based on orientation. For example, I use swype in portrait and blur keyboard in landscape.

Its the little things...
[Motorola Droid X2] dwibbles33:
Couldn't have said it better myself. Its not like you unlock a world of free apps and instantly become a Android Guru, you just get those few things that you wanted before and always said "I really wish I could change that" well its making open source even more open.
[Motorola Droid X2] lordforex:
Keep reading the xda forums and you will learn alot. I started by using the "one click root," freezing bloat wear, and then started experimenting with Roms to squeeze all the free memory and performance I can out of my x2. Like you I am a computer tech head, but didn't know much about android. The knowledge comes fast though.
[Motorola Droid X2] three west:
that's a tasty little tidbit there, I like swipe but never turned it on because I really only liked it in portrait, hence, I really now do all my typing in landscape.
[Motorola Droid X2] xxbgjhn159xx:
definitely root your phone. and definitely do what some of the others stated like getting a sbf and using rsd lite. im running eclipse if it means anything. havent tried liberty yet. didnt like alien or atrix port so much.
[Motorola Droid X2] addisoj:
YES! Rooting is the way to go. I just installed CM7 and absolutely love it. Phone works great - no Verizon bloat and battery life seems good. Phone is extremely fast and stable. Go to the "CM7" posts to learn how to update your phone to CM7. Here is the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1442803
[Motorola Droid X2] eddieb1983:
I second that statement. I've tried Liberty and Eclipse, and no disrespect to those developers at all, but AOSP is the way to go and CM7 is the first AOSP ROM available for the DX2. I was afraid I made the wrong choice for a phone because I root and flash ROMs on my phones, but CM7 on the DX2 has made me feel much better. Try it! You'll love it!
[Motorola Droid X2] dsmryder:
Where did the .sbf go?

I've found several dead links for the "VRZ_MB870_4.5.1A-DTN-117-15_1FF_01.sbf.gz

The first thing to do when you root is download rootkeeper (search on market). This will allow to to keep root when you update. When you do, just restore root through this app. I have used this and it does work.
[Motorola Droid X2] Pomerane:
there is a guide on appstorm that I found extremely helpful and made the process of rooting and Rom'ing very easy for me

Essentially there is a one-click app you could install on a windows computer and you connect the phone and execute it.

As for getting a ROM there is a bootstrap app you can install on the droid after putting a rom on SD Card and the bootstrap will allow you to choose the rom. The guide uses Eclipse but it works the same way for any ROM you choose

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Splaktar:
I haven't seen a thread on this yet so I decided to test it out last night. Here are the results (TV is a Sony 60KDLNX720):

From the TV:

1) Browsing and viewing video from the phone: worked as expected.

2) Browsing and viewing photos from the phone: No photos found.

3) Music: No music on phone, couldn't test.

From the Phone:

1) Browsing and playing video on the TV: Could not connect to TV. Could not find a way to make it work.

2) Browsing and displaying photos on the TV: Worked as expected, but pretty slow with 2.5 MB photos.

3) Music: No music on phone, couldn't test.

So the result is that it works, barely well enough. You can actually display both videos and photos on your TV, but you have to use the TV interface to view videos and the phone interface to display photos. Certainly not ideal and hopefully it can be patched or a work around found.

I've done DLNA to the same TV via my PS3 without any problems.

I haven't had a chance to test the MHL port as I don't have an adapter. But I've heard from other posts that it is mostly working (but may have audio issues).

Grabbing a 64 N9, with the FFC, and putting WP7.5 on it? Best of both worlds right? Cake and ice cream?
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
Well.. i tried googling; whats "FFC" stands for?
[Windows Phone 7 General] the92playboy:
Ffc = Front facing camera

Required for Skype, tango, video calling in general
[Windows Phone 7 General] GManLynx:
Front Facing Camera.

Andyeah I really wish the N9 came out in America with WP7.5. I would of jumped the jump for that one. But the lumia 800... I feel that I am settling. Although i bet the battery life on that phone is amazing
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
At least the N9 has 64Gb storage.

And it took them 9 months to finally come to this.....?

Where has the money offered by Microsoft gone?
[Windows Phone 7 General] telep:
As big Nokia fan (i owned like 30 nokia phones) i'm pretty disappointed with their new phones and OS they choosed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
Ah. Yeah, like I said in the other topic, I missed that too. Non sense compairing with the second generation of WP7. All of them have FFC.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blanket:
i would prefer an E7 with mango
[Windows Phone 7 General] kadajawi:
I don't think that is going to happen. WP7 is only supposed to work on Qualcomm CPUs... the N9 uses a TI chip. Also it only has 1 GHz as opposed to 1.4 GHz... though the 1 GB RAM and 64 GB memory would be appreciated. But perhaps at least there will be a 64 GB version.
[Windows Phone 7 General] renatofontes:
I'm not sure about this but... didn't the windows phone 7 phones come with an internal SD card for storage? And the could actually be replaced by a bigger SD?
[Windows Phone 7 General] weatherx:
ditto. although e7 would need to double its RAM to run WP.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
They're getting away from that in 2nd gen. WP7 phones. They're going with non-removable internal memory now....at least some of them are. And I believe Nokia is one who is.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Super Chimp:
Also don't all WP devices need these three set buttons on the front and of course the N9 lacks any front buttons at all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] voluptuary:
Can't put WP7 on the N9 since it is missing a cam button and the three face buttons (back, home, search) also the screen is an unsupported res also the cpu is not supported either. Still all nokia really had to do is tweak those things and NOT SCREW UP WHAT THEY ALREADY HAD IN PLACE... but I guess that was just too hard. Lost one sale to me, thats for sure. If this had FFC and 64GB of storage it woulda been a day one purchase for me. Now I'm prob gonna just get a Nexus or a Titan although both of them don't have a very good option for storage either... I want my 64GB... It's like I;m forced to buy an iPhone and I soooooo don't want to.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lpaso:
Totally agree. I could have lived with no FFC, but 16GB ONLY ? Why don't make different sizes, like the N9 ? Propose a 16GB for cheap, and ask for, say, 200$ more for a 64GB... I'd buy it ! But now, no big reason to buy it as I already have 16GB on my LG.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Yeah, I'd easily pay more for 64GB. As for reasons, we can only guess but I think it's due to manufacturing constraints. They can only produce a limited quantity initially, and opted for the most popular (cheaper) option.

Overall I wouldn't look at this device as a flagship for months to come (at least without modifications). Their first priority was to make it available, so they had to focus and left things behind.

I'll get it anyway, and if something better shows up soon I'll happily change. I like changing phones as often as I can. Don't give a damn about FFC. 16GB is tiny, but bearable, at least it's not 8 like on Radar or Omnia W.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Super Chimp:
Not to bothered with the storage on this it's no worse than say the new Nexus, considering we will not be getting the larger storage version in the UK. The FCC is not something I would ever use so that's no loss.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
Seeing how N9 sports a TI OMAP and MSFT's push for Qualcomm marriage, I don't think it is happening.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DoogieDC:
As a long time Nokia user, these phones seem pretty much what they should be.

In Nokia-speak, a 700 series phone is mid-range phone - affordable and for the masses. An 800 series phone is a middle tier phone with better design and features.

What we (enthusiasts) are waiting for is the 900 series phone (like an N9) that is their design flagship. That phone is still in the wings, as well as a 500 series entry-level model. Believe me there will be a 900 series phone since the Windows Phones are now their premium smartphone platform, an Nokia will need a successor to the N9 to carry the flag.

So don't look at these as the entire Nokia Windows Mobile line - they are just the first ones out of the gate.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Of course, I would pay immediately for 32GB or 64GB.

Whereas 16GB is a dealbreaker. Paying for an underpowered device is always a bad investment IMO

Hey all,

So i'm having a problem with my phone. I cannot download anything off the browser or the latest htc update. I've been having the browser issue. It hasn't affected me too much so i didn't bother investigating it. However, now i cannot download the latest HTC security update. Whenever i try to download anything from the browser it always says "download unsuccessful." Now when i try to download the HTC update, it gives me a little more information and says:

"SD card not ready. You need an SD card to download the system update. Please insert an SD card and press of to start the download, or press Cancel to exit."

Now to answer the obvious questions:

Yes, I have an SD card. It's a class 2 Samsung 16GB.

I have 10.6 GB free space on the card

I have all my apps stored on the card, as well as my pics, vids, documents, etc.

Everything else that revolves around the card functions perfectly - apps, pics, etc.

I have taken it out, put it back in, reboot, unmounted, mounted.

Any ideas??? I think both issues are related but its all over my head.
