You need to stop flashing roms using pc36img files. get amonRa 2.3 and flash these the correct way. THEY ARE NOT WORKING BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT WIPING YOUR DEVICE BEFORE FLASHING. YOU NEED A CUSTOM RECOVERY SO YOU CAN WIPE ALL NECESSARY AREAS. IF YOU CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE A CUSTOM RECOVERY AND FLASH CORRECTLY, STOP FLASHING BECAUSE YOU WILL EVENTUALLY BRICK YOUR PHONE

sorry for the caps everybody but this is his second thread asking the same question

I'm currently using a Meteor pouch for my phone and so far no complaints. It protects the phone and its pretty good at keeping the dust out. It doesn't really add much girth to the phone either. There is a pretty good selection on Amazon.

Incipio makes a super thin tpu case. There is a thread about it here. I use it. I also use the casemate pop if I'm going to be out and about. Its thicker and offers more protection.

So im from Trinidad and Tobago and a local independent phone store has the DVP available for 2200 TTD, roughly (2200/6.45) 341 USD.

Here is the situation, its the TMobile Phone that they unlocked and to make matters worse it the 8gb version -_-

1. So first, can i get the update to mango even if im not on the TMobile network.

2. Secondly if i get the 8gb im gonna want to upgrade it and if i do so, im going all or nothing 32gbs bbe :D How easy is it to upgrade the Micro SD Card and can anyone do a youtube tutorial video?

Save your money, the dvp would have been great, but dell fkd up in so many ways. Just read the threads and you will see.
[Venue Pro General] evilp8ntballer7:
most of the issues have been fixed by now with firmware updates and mango. Also currently dell only sells the dvp with a 16gb (which is perfect size for 99% of people) unlocked so no need to worry about carrier issues and 16gb is great too.

Only thing you need to ask yourself now is the size to big for you?

[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
Let's be clear. It's called Pete's Motorola Root Tools. ...and hyperlinks are your friend. ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
And just to clear some things up, SBFing has nothing to do with rooting. You don't SBF to root or root to SBF. One does not require the other.

SBFing means putting your phone back to a particular stock install which makes it no longer rooted. Hence, if you SBF to a stock image (2.2.2, 2.3.3, 2.3.4), you'll lose any root privileges you had and you'll have to re-root your phone.

SBFing requires having an application called RSDLite as well as a particular SBF image (Froyo - 2.2.2, Gingerbread - 2.3.3 or 2.3.4).

Rooting requires running an application such as Pete's Motorola Tools that allows you to have root access to your phone. This means you are unlocking the phone so you can perform various other functions, such as running Titanium Backup so you can backup not only applications, but the data associated with said applications. It also allows you to make other tweaks under the hood to help make your phone run better, such as running Zepplinrox's turbo charger scripts, adding the init.d hack to allow you to run various startup scripts when you reboot and last, but not least, it also allows you to flash ROMs on the phone.

Hopefully that clears some things up for you.

I had her get a new battery cause she had some **** off brand in it....didn't work...now she told me she washed her last atrix and got it replaced so im thinking she got her sim wet and that's why its rebooting or its hardware end....phone is completely stock not rooted...any ideas? Thanks in advance

Unlock it root it and a custom rom fixed mine it did the same thing not as much as hers but still had a lot of random reboots on stock gb .now maybe one random reboot a month
[Atrix 4G General] rlillard:
I wouldn't be so fast to unlock the bootloader. A phone that reboots that often most likely has hardware issues. Stock ROMs have issues, but not that radical.

Feed her a nice dinner and get her to come clean as to the evil thing she did to her phone. If there really have been no mishaps, get a warranty replacement. My advice is to not do anything to the phone that would make getting a replacement difficult.

Good Luck
[Atrix 4G General] mcwolves32:
Lol she told me what happened with her first one she gott replaced she washed it....so she got a new one that one rebooted...then she got another and its also rebooting
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
I would tell u to download a gingerbread fruit cake, moto-fastboot, and do a complete wipe including system, data, webtop, preinstall, cache and boot. (Boot=kernel) then do a fastboot reboot into recovery and flash the 2.3.4 fruit cake. If u need detailed instructions on how to do this and where to get files pm me.
[Atrix 4G General] Jibraldor:
Ten times a day is a frigging lot. I used to have random reboots with group but it was more like twice a day. Sometimes it would not boot up again until I did a battery pull......but flagging to Gingerbread solved all these errors. No random reboots or any problem at all since.
[Atrix 4G General] rlillard:
Sorry, what does "flagging to GB" mean?
[Atrix 4G General] Jibraldor:
I meant to write Flashing to gingerbread. Sorry for the typo, I am Swyping from my phone.
[Atrix 4G General] mcwolves32:
Funny thing is she's on the gb ota...she's outta town for the weekend I think on Monday we are gonna try a new sim that doesn't work.....another replacement....ill keep you all updated incase there's another case of this!
[Atrix 4G General] rlillard:
I thought "flagging" to be British slang. :-)

The conclusion I would make from reading this thread is that while many if not the majority of frequent and seemingly random reboots are failed h/w, another failure mode is corruption of the installed kernel and/or support utilities (collectively called the OS). Re-flashing any of the various ROMs will clear the problem.

If f/w corruption is the actual problem,flashing anything requires unlocking the bootloader. If a replacement phone is an option, I would do that rather than risk unlocking the boot loader and then not being able to return it.

I was wondering if I can redirect a tcp connection being made to a Google server to my server? Is it possible? The HOSTS doesn't work. Any ideas?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dbiggss:
Ok, so I let my brother borrow my Transformer to take with him as he spent the week at my mom's house. I should have known better...

Apparently my nephew dropped it, which caused an ugly dent directly on the corner of the bezel; in addition, one of the edges also developed a sizeable gap between the glass and the bezel that extended halfway across the tablet.

:eek:

I decided to make a positive into a negative- I tore down the transformer, manipulated the bezel to be bent back into place (as close as I could get it), then polished it all the way around.

All in all, it was pretty simple - After tearing the TF apart, I just soaked the bezel in Greased Lightning for about 10 min to remove the anodization; then, I sanded it smooth using a combination of wet-sandpapers (800 Grit for the real rough spots, and a combination of 1000, 1500, 2000, and 3000 grit wet sanding paper); finally, I buffed it out using a cotton buff wheel on my dremel with Turtle Wax rubbing compound.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] typci:
That is beyond awesome. I've never really liked the color of the transformer, it's just so boring and uninspiring. This may be what causes me to void my warranty (The guys at my local Asus shop don't care that I rooted my transformer. When I returned it for a defect I even booted it up with the custom boot screen and told them I put an overseas version of the rom on it). I am definitely going to do this.

A couple of requests/questions:

1) Can we get some more higher quality or close-up pictures of the final product? I really want a better look at the back of it to see the contrast between the bezel and the back plate. Also of hinge, and well everything. The more pictures the better. I'm especially interested in pictures showing the contrast between the bezel/dock and the other parts of the transformer.

2) Also looks like you didn't do the hinge, right? Haven't taken mine apart yet, it's on my to do list, so I guessing that part may not be possible to do or really difficult.

3) What is greased lightning? I'm in China now, so I can't buy American brand names anymore. I know heavy duty cleaning product. But is it like for household or industrial use? I think I saw it once in autoparts store. I'm guessing it's like that purple power stuff I used to use to clean my motor and rims on my car. Had to wear thick gloves to keep it from messing up my hands.

4) Is sanding it necessary? Mine is undamaged and I'd like to keep it that way. I'm guessing the bezel is pretty thin and during sanding could easily be damaged. It looks like you just sanded out the damage that had occurred when it was dropped.

5) How did the key removal process go?

Once, again thank you. This is a totally awesome idea. I've got me some new Chinese words to learn so I can go buy the materials to make this happen.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dbiggss:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] a.mcdear:
Really slick job! I like it a lot.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] typci:
Thanks. It's freezing cold here and raining everyday for the next week, so not great weather to ride my motorcycle in to say the least. When the weather improves a bit, I'll begin my journey to find the materials I need. Thanks.

Also, you said "sodium hydroxide" (NaOH) was the key ingredient? That's lye, the main ingredient in drain cleaners, and an insanely strong base. Which means a drain cleaner may also be usable. I know where to get some drain cleaner, that I think is mostly NaOH with some thickeners mixed in. Also it's safe to use on metal so I won't have to worry about it damaging the bezel. I'm a chemist by trade so I think I maybe able to find a substitute for the the greased lightning. Also with what you said about the purple power not being strong enough, I can control the strength of the solution if I start with a concentrated NaOH solution. That'll be a lot easier to find than an industrial degreaser. Finding things in China can be a real pain sometime.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoshX:
Try looking up the MSDS on Greased Lightning, I believe it gives the concentration of NaOH used.

What grit sandpaper would you stop at if you were going for a brushed metal look?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sharpe351:
2000 wet or dry should work great for polishing. Stopping at 800 would give a rougher surface. If you want a true "brushed" look, try getting up to 2000 grit and neatly wipe the parts with a Scotch Brite pad. As far as de-anodizing I have used Easy off oven cleaner (the lethal yellow can) to remove it in the past. It works great, just let the parts sit in the warm sun for about 30 minutes before spraying the Easy Off on them.

Also, when your done polishing the parts, you can clear coat them to keep the shine indefinitely.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dbiggss:
2000 would be good, but I am fanatical about the 3M 3000 grit sheets. they are like $6 at autozone or an automotive supply store and are designed with a sponge like back layer, so its not just regular paper.

How did you get the power button and volume rocker buttons out of the bezel? I can't seem to figure out how to without breaking the plastic tabs
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dbiggss:
Honestly, I wouldn't even mess with clear coating it - I didn't. If you use a good compound or polish you shouldn't run into any issues. Plus, any upkeep you would just be able to buff out any minor scratches in the future.

Clear coating stuff can be tricky (in my experiences anyway) and it may add more thickness to the gaps etc...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dbiggss:
If I only had the time... c'mon go for it, it'll be fun ;)

To be honest, I didn't even remove the buttons or the plastic piece from the bezel. After dismantling the dock, I'd be willing to bet that the black piece is glued to the bezel. Because the bezel and the plastic retainer piece are so delicate I didn't even worry about it.

-good point though because this did make it that much more of a pain to polish the areas around the buttons.
