[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
I think it will be helpful if I explain some things. First, you flash the stock recovery (naming it PB31IMG.zip so HBOOT will see it) because Clockworkmod can't install OTA updates. So once you've flashed the stock recovery, the OTA updates will work. AFTER you've flashed the stock recover AND installed the OTA updates with it, you'll be ready for step 6 which is putting Clockworkmod BACK on. So then you will need to copy CWM back onto your SD card, naming it PB31IMG.zip, which will overwrite the old stock recovery file you had put on there earlier. What I did, was I had just put both recoveries on my SD card, naming one stock-recovery_PB31IMG.zip and the other cwm_PB31IMG.zip. When I wanted to flash stock recovery, I just renamed it using Root Explorer to PB31IMG.zip. When I was done, I renamed it back and then renamed the Clockwork recovery to PB31IMG.zip. That just made it so I didn't have to pull the SD card to copy files back & forth using my computer.

Anyway, once you have Clockworkmod back on it, you can flash su.zip which re-roots your phone. You need to do this with CWM because stock recovery can't flash su.zip. You can get the latest version here:

http://androidsu.com/superuser/

I downloaded the "binary only" version because the OTA updates didn't remove the SuperUser app. Once you flash that, you are re-rooted.

I hope that clears things up a bit rather than confusing more!

a little more

So that's very helpful. I'm running froyo 2.2, with s-off, and rooted, courtesy of unrevoked. My upgrade is 4.08.605... to gingerbread (OTA). So let's see if I understand this right. I flash the recovery file which essentially restores me to where I am already, except it unroots the phone, but leaves s-off. I can then update to 4.08.605 since it is back to stock, but still s-off.

At this point, restoring clockworkmod, I have another question. That was put on my machine as part of unrevoked, I didn't do it separately. I either need to get it on its own, or if it is in a nice and neat directory structure on phone, copy that tree to my sd card before I do anything. But my guess is that since from directions it's going to be a zip file that will then be flashed, I'll need to get CWM, since I don't have it in a flashable form. Yes?

I really do appreciate your help. I'm trying to be clear because I'm not terribly unhappy with the phone the way it is (except for its incessant dialing of numbers on its own, but that's another issue), and don't want to go into this without having everything I need on hand. That should be the last issue.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Actually, flashing the stock recovery doesn't unroot the phone. The update will unroot it, but changing the recovery by itself won't unroot it. It does leave S-OFF, which is good.

Yes, you will need Clockworkmod in a flashable .zip as well. I'm not sure where I found CWM in a flashable zip by itself, but I'll try to remember to upload it tonight when I get home from work unless you find it before then.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Here's Clockworkmod as a flashable .zip.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmm108:
thanks

I'll let you know how it goes. Can you verify this: when hboot restores the stock recovery partition, it basically restores from the zip file what is on the hidden partition on the phone storage. Then hboot restores the clockworkmod recovery, thinking its the stock recovery and overwrites the hidden partition with the clockworkmod. But it must retain the original recovery to some extent, since one of the hboot options is still to restore to factory settings, even after clockworkmod is installed. Is there no documentation of all of this somewhere you can point me to?

Gnatgosplat you continue to be both extremely helpful and patient, so thanks again.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
No, HBOOT restores from whatever is named PB31IMG.zip on the SD card. That's why when you go to flash the stock recovery, you need to rename the file to PB31IMG.zip. Then when you go to flash CWM, you need to rename PB31IMG.zip to something else (i.e. stock_recovery_PB31IMG.zip) or you could delete it altogether, then rename the CWM recovery to PB31IMG.zip. When you flash CWM, it overwrites the stock recovery in ROM.

I've tried to clarify my instructions a few posts back so hopefully it makes a little more sense.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmm108:
Yes, I understand that part. Just wondered how after clockwordmod was installed I was able to use the recovery partition to do a factory restore. There is still a factory reset option under hboot after clockworkmod is installed that does that. If the recovery partition is written over, how does that work?
[Motorola Atrix 2] mariol66:
Some apps that I've pushed to my external SD card suddenly show up as not installed and I then have to reinstall from the market. Any ideas what's wrong?
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Right now the phone is having problems when you store any apps on the SD card. Make sure they are all stored internally and that should solve your problems.
[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
you have 4gb of app storage, there's no need for apps2sd especially since it breaks the apps, sd card and everything else.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Rickinsav:
But for me such as with evernote the data is stored on the SD card and the app fails when the SD card unmount itself and I have to resync it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Yes, theres a bug in the software causing this to happen when apps are installed on the sdcard. Just make sure all ur apps are in internal storage and you should be fine, or is 4gb not enough?
[Motorola Atrix 2] mariol66:
No I have a lot of games and such and to use the SD card option would be nice. It's made for a reason you know lol
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Well until Moto provides a update you WILL continue to have the problems having the apps on your sd card. There is no way around it right now.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
I agree it would be nice, but then again there are alot of things that would be nice, doesnt make them happen any sooner. You've been made aware of what the issue is, how to avoid it, and now can decide how you want to proceed from here on out.
[Motorola Atrix 2] isail:
never use the atrix 2 to format your card, do it with a card reader in windows
[Motorola Atrix 2] wayner65:
I'm on my 2nd Atrix 2. The first one had trouble with the sdcard as most of the people are writing about on XDA so I got a replacement. The 2nd one works perfectly with the same sdcard installed. In addition to fixing the sdcard issues, wireless works more reliably and call quality is better indicating they may have had some hardware quality control issues vs. software issues. If you're within your 30 days return period I would suggest getting a replacement.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mariol66:
Returned for a skyrocket :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Clovett:
I've been monitoring this and moved many of my non essential apps to my SD card for testing purposes. Then I set my phone so any updates to apps has to be approved, none of my apps nor is the phone auto update.

Worked fine for two weeks until I finally updated three apps. Then I lost 7 apps on the SD card
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
I've been doing some testing of my own and get the same results everytime as you. Motorola def has some bugs here and seems like the RZR might be having them as well. Hopefully this update will cure them.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Sharpshooterrr:
What update is this?
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
They are fixing to start testing on a new build

[Motorola Atrix 2] cowhow:
I'm trying to be patient for that update. But, it's a tough bone to swallow spending $65 for an SD card just to store MP3s on. It would be nice to have some sort of rough ETA from Moto on the update (i.e., before my 30 days is up). I'd try a Samsung Infuse, but that would be taking a step backward in video and processor.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
I hope you aren't holding your breath
[Motorola Atrix 2] cowhow:
Nope. I'm guessing that when Moto pushes out the update ATT will have to put their blessing on it and we all know how quick that will happen.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
yup just spoke to a att rep and they have no idea when there will be a update. was gonna exchange my phone but today was my 30 days. im using the stock microSD card and apps are still disappearing but i just dont lose my contacts. im at a loss as to what to do now. i suppose my only option is to wait and see what the devs cook up or that dreaded att update.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Try a warranty exchange. I promise the issues you have seen tylercarter, is not exactly what everyone else has, especially with google contacts disapperaing. If you bought it at ATT they are decent if you go into a store. If you bought it at best buy forget it, even 1 day past 30 day they will tell you too bad so sad. ATT took care of me three times even at 40 days, they let me switch to a different phone each time. That was back in march so.... give it a try.

I hate to say it, but fixes for this issues with the SDcard most likely will never come. Now if we can get the source code for this phone, then WE can fix the issue much like cyanogen did those type of things for many phones. I will definitely do the fix for it once we get that.

Just seen this, would be great to see this on the 3D, then what could a iphone owner say .... nothing!
[HTC EVO 3D] gmfeny:
Search
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
iPhone owners already can say nothing. Their cloud "innovation"... we've had that via Google for years. Siri... we've had that for a while too. Search the market for Jeannie (AKA Voice Actions). I put Voice Actions up against Siri the other day at lunch and Siri got literally every question borked. Voice Actions on Android did much better. We asked Siri "What are the nine planets". It said, "I found six planets... the closest is 2.2 miles from you." I hope not! We asked Voice Actions the same thing and it came up with a picture of the solar system plus a description of the planets. Other questions went similarly. The iPhone junkies at the table were REALLY impressed when I asked Voice Actions "Show me some boobies". Then I showed them the results and said, "Try THAT on your iPhone!" :D

I don't understand why the hate between the two OSs , I don't think it should be competition between the user if no the company that mades, that way they can improved and the winner is the user , btw I think apple would sued whoever uses Siri in another OS
[HTC EVO 3D] No1ustad:

[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
You must not talk to too many Apple fanboys. All day long, they talk about how their phone is superior to any other. I laugh when my co-workers literally say their iPhones are better than my EVO 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] fsalazar504:
God my company issues iPhones as a company phones (mostly to Execs and ITs) and they brag so much about their iPhone that I die a little inside each day. Something about that Apple brand that makes them believe they are top hip elitist. I don't hate Apple, I hate the people who worship it
[HTC EVO 3D] mildlydisturbed:
Hrmm, I think part of it on anyone other than Apple's OS definitely has to do with Apple becoming what they advertised against. The breakout Apple commercial was that woman coming and throwing a sledgehammer at Big Brother - one way of doing things, one computer, one order.

They became that - they advertise artistic and non-conformist and people line up and say "I'm so different" as they purchase something they can't make a change to without jail breaking the OS.

Last I checked, if you want to develop for iOS you have to pay to play. I may be off on that as it has been a while since I checked.

Apple shooting lawsuits left and right for "stolen innovations" such as "slide to wake up" have not been engendering kindness.

The marketing and legal departments have been fueling the dislike, and posers who get phones for a status symbol.

There's a long and well documented lead in to the hate, and in the end it works extremely well to line various company's coffers.
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
And yet, they sell more and more phones everyday. I loathe the company itself. I like their products. Don't get me wrong, the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch are GREAT devices, but they're not Android. And they're not even close, IMO. I have an iPad issued to me from work. The only thing I use it for is to read, watch movies (that I get outside of iTunes), and listen to music (Pandora/Shoutcast/Music I download outside of iTunes).
[HTC EVO 3D] mildlydisturbed:
I think there's also some sort inherent disconnect between camps.

Apple people think they have the greatest device because it looks pretty.

Android people think they have the greatest device because the hardware is faster and you can make it look pretty.

Apple people think that if you have to work to make your device look and perform awesome that it's you who is making it awesome, not the product. (IE you win Android fail)

Android people think that if you can't make it look and perform like you want then you're a moron or the phone is crap.

It's sort of like a broken down 57 Chevy. An Apple lover looks and sees rust and decay, and Android user sees potential - HTC didn't make Sense awesome, but I can.

It all gets worse when you have people on both sides who don't want to learn anything and believe their respective marketing departments.
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
Any interest in this or shall we keep debating Apples to Orang-uh hum! Droids?
[HTC EVO 3D] Bradfordv:
my dislike for the company is in the fact they spout innovation yet they are always a year behind the rest. hell look windows 7 phone has 4g now where is it for the almighty iphone? They spout innovation on their new ios and android has already had it on of their phones for a year. and the masses to dumb to realize they are paying extra money for a phone that is at least a year behind the curve. And yet the iphone fan boys think their phone is the best then i ask what makes it better then i pull out my evo 3d and im like had that since.... and had that since..... their ignorance drives me up the wall
[HTC EVO 3D] bailz2506:
I know still off topic but when is Google going to throw a lawsuit in apples face for the ios5 notification pulldown menu? Innovation my ass
[HTC EVO 3D] Bradfordv:
they cant due to the fact android is open source i believe
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
I'm more interested with the fact apple got issued that patent for the basic slide unlock. Didn't Google have this out first? Didn't think apple could patent stuff Google had already releases open source wise.
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Well I see in a different way, sure iPhone 4s looks outdated because it doesn't have lte or WiMAX, in my experience lte is really nice too bad it has more lost signal then 3G and WiMAX is ok but man does it suck, I used 4G on my OG evo for a few months and stop using it , it just sucks I prefer 3G also in battery life 4G sucks at that right now, they need to come out with a new battery tech or wtv, I have an iPhone 4S, evo 3d, nexus s (tmobile) and my old 3GS and after playing with them I prefer both, i do prefer an iPad instead of android tablet but that might because of the apps, is nice to read books on my iPad or watch YouTube, and some apps for work , if android tablets would have a nice spreadsheets app and maybe some better apps ill probably go for it, but maybe another 6 months before that, the new asus table (quad core) looks nice but will see
[HTC EVO 3D] ssojyeti2:
I love android far more than I love Apple, but I have to admit that apple was the innovation that started the smartphone race. Even though I believe Android is much better that Apple now, I believe there wouldn't be Android if it wasn't for Apple. Flame me if you want...
[HTC EVO 3D] zonyl:
Apple made the smartphone stylish. Treo made the smartphone useful. I was checking corporate email while apple was still ensuring cases expose their logo on the back.

If anyone started using siri other than apple, they will shut you down quicker than you can brag to your friends about it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bradfordv:
The andiod os was oringinally going to be the google os back in like 2004 but when things didnt work out and google saw that the iphone take off they applied it to smart phones
[HTC EVO 3D] mjcole2003:
there is also speaktoit assistant and iris in the market. Iris is apparently in direct response to Siri ( Iris is siri spelled backwards). Apparently some guy made it in like 8 hours.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I've tried them all. Voice Actions (AKA Jeannie) is the only one that responds "intelligently". The others are kinda half baked, don't respond with voice, just voice-to-text what you say into Google, etc.

First off I am not a developer but I feel the rush to create a thread where you awesome devs like Nexx , SuperKid , lowveld , cjward23 , proxuser , capychimp can come together and talk about a working ICS port on our beloved DS . For that to happen as source code is already released and you guys are awesome so if you guys come together and divide work into yourselves then it will be lot faster and a kid like mines dream will be fullfilled sooner . So please come together and bring us an ICS port on desire S :-D

So, I'm not that new to rooting. I've been playing around with SRF for quite some time, as well as playing around with a few other phones. I decided to update to GB as the update had rolled out this morning. I updated successfully & rooted it, even added ACS ICS v4.

Now, here is where I'm having this battery issue. Before I updated to GB, I had no problem using the wall charger. Now that I've updated, the wall charger will not work. I've tried rebooting my phone, reflashing the ROM, toggling debugging mode, all of it. My USB is working, but nothing from the wall charger. I know for a fact this charger is good (it's not the stock one, it's a different samsung one) as it works on my boyfriends epic (we didn't play around with his yet).

Is anyone else having this issue? or am I the only one? What are some suggestions to fix this?

Thanks~
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinydude100:
Use the stock charger, it seems code in the GB update enforced this. Just two days ago, my cousin updated to GB and reported this very issue, but she was using a Nexus S 4G wall charger, she had no issues charging it when I handed her my Stock Epic Charger.

P.S. the nexus s 4g charger charged her phone regardless, just no red led notification with only the battery icon in the status bar as proof of charging. However, I did not check the specs of the Nexus S charger, give a phone a charger with too much, or too little voltage, and you could eventually mess it up.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4026144:
Damn, I don't have the stock charger anymore. I got rid of it quite some time ago. :(
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinydude100:
You could try looking up one on Amazon, prices vary for the stock charger, it doesn't have to be the same cable, just that wall charger bit would of been valuable to hang on to.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roguejam:
I've noticed this, too. My phone would physically charge, but aside from that, there was no physical notification that it was plugged in. Even the battery usage would show the battery life increasing, but not register it as "Charging"

Has anyone noticed this with car chargers? I have a Sprint charger (via Amazon), and things still work fine with that. Also things work fine with the Blackberry USB cord when plugged into a computer (Linux, PC, Mac). But when that goes into a generic AC to USB converter, no dice.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4026144:
Well actually, when I had it plugged in via wall charger it said it showed the little notification charging, but the battery was draining and would not hold a charge.

I found a samsung charger (not the stock one) and tried that. It worked perfect, LED came on and it actually held a charge. :D

The only thing now is that it seems my battery will not stop draining. It has been off the charger for 15 minutes, and batter is already down 10% with LIGHT use (I checked my VM, that's it).

I ordered the 1800mAh OEM battery yesterday so I'm hoping to swap this out and see if that may be the problem. Any other suggestions as to how I could fix that if this isn't the issue? ;( le sigh.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinydude100:
Once you get that new battery, charge it with the phone off, when 100% charged, calibrate the battery.

1) You don't have IMEI because you deleted your NV using tools like kdz updater or so...

Anyway to have a working gsm signal you must restore your Nv. If you don't have an NV backup you can get one by searching this forum. There are threads concerning this problem.
