[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
I doubt you have the wrong hboot, it wouldn't even start if you did. I would do a complete wipe and format maybe change firmware as well. Backup SD and reformat that as well. If you have true radio soff (rooted via gfree) then you are safe to use one of the pc10img.zips I created here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27796375 (see post 30)

Make sure to remove it from SD this time or at least change the name when done

This will give you new engineering hboot, updated 4ext recovery, .19 radio but all can be changed to whatever if you want.

After the flash reformat all in recovery and flash a new rom
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephenw10:
Thanks for your input. :)

Updating the radio rom does seem tempting if potentially dangerous! The claimed power saving especially. I haven't ever used 4ext recovery but given how CWM seems to be failing me I might give it a try.

I don't wan to speak too soon here (but doing so anyway!) it looks like I may have corrected the problems by using SuperWipeG2+ from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044992

After running that, which can easily be done from CWM, the phone booted first time with no reboots.

I'll update this if that did not fix it.

Steve
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephenw10:
Yep spoke too soon!

However I have found a way to reliably recover but it's not straight forward.

Boot to recovery. Run SuperWipeG2+.

Attempt to boot the phone, boot fails as there is no ROM installed. This step seems important.

Boot to recovery. Install ROM from zip and Gapps from zip.

Reboot and phone will boot successfully and stay booted!

I then have to recover all my contacts and apps from Google which takes a further 20/25 mins.

Having done that I still cannot reboot the phone. If I reboot (or shutdown and power on) it is then stuck ion the boot loop and I have to do that all over again!

This means I cannot ever allow the phone to go flat.

Aaarrgh!

Any suggestions? It has been suggested that installing another ROM could fix this. Any specific ROM? Any idea why that would work?

I have found that the light sensor doesn't seem to be working and the suggested fix for that is to install a Sense based ROM and then switch back. I can't see how that could work either.

Steve
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Yeah I've heard the sense ROM thing works, I don't see how but people seem to swear by it. I would suggest you change all your firmware, new hboot, new radio, new recovery and what not a new ROM. There are lots of good ROMs to choose from so I wouldn't know what to recommend for you, personally I almost always use gingerbread based ones

Hi world

i could port the CTR-ON to SGSII,

actually it is different from the source i got , but with some modification and addition it works 100% on SGSII

so first of all thnx to Whitehawkx@rootwiki for the source

for the ppl who don't know what is the difference between CRT On & Off, it is the same beam that u got on off-screen , but this time u will have it once u on the screen too.

it is different from JKAY mod

this one is built in in the system

now , i made this one compatible with 2.3.6 ROMs, but it should also works with 2.3.5 (NOT TESTED YET)

also I added the needed modification for those who like BLN for SMS, so IT will work also with them

all what u need is to move my file to system/framework, and reboot

it should works fine

note that this mod is

only for DEODEXED ROMs

and last,, DON'T 4get to hit thanks button

and for ROMs maker, don't forget to give credit to me

http://www.multiupload.com/ZVF7LB71TL

UPDATE: 5-12-2011

BOTH crt on/off via (CWM)

ONLY FOR DEODEXED KK5 STOCK

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Homam Ageel:

edit: i.e the full effect ,, i port from HTC
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] _JKay_:
Dont understand what you mean by built into the system. But mine is also built into the system. I actually did not add anything I just enabled something that was already in the system.

But I will take a look... Hope that you fixed the crt effect.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Homam Ageel:
well, UR modding is like creating a new way to handle the whole system which is intelligent

u didn't release source to know how to handle it

but as (user) it is as like as 3rd party application

in here it is in the system core

i hope u got my idea
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] _JKay_:
Mine is also in system core..

Ok.. I'll explain my mod tomorrow.. Now I need to sleep. :)

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jayerfernandes:
Hi, im running a custom 2.3.5 ki3 ROM. Id like to try out your mod. Does your first link have CRT-on and off?

If not, would you consider porting it if you have the time.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Homam Ageel:
i will release source later

try crt-on if it is working i will make it reference thread for CRT/ON/Off for all ROMs starting from 2.3.5
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jayerfernandes:
Nope its not working. Im running Gingermod 0.7 and thats got Jkays mods already built into it, which i suspect is the problem.

I pushed your service.jar file to system/framework, got a message asking to replace, clicked yes, disabled CRT on off in Jkay mod and rebooted.

The pulldown buttons have the same green/grey as up but they kept the pumpkin orange dropdown bar and field.

Take our stock touchwiz "theme" from froyo if you will, find every trace of blue (minus the battery) and turn it green. That's the strat's theme. It did look very good. Now, that's a very basic explanation. Popup's are black/gray. Volume changing, and sliders of that nature are green. Messaging is green. Secondary text is green. Notifications tray has a lot of green. Like on ours, where it would say "Sprint," the background is green, whereas ours is gray. Its kinda cool, I must say.

Hi I have an Xperia PLAY from Three UK which is SIM locked.

I've rooted my Xperia PLAY with DooMLoRD's brilliant tool but from what I've read I can't flash a custom recovery on a SIM-locked device.

If this is true can someone please tell me how I can unlock it and enable me to flash the recovery?

If this is false, how do I now go about flashing the Clockwork recovery or an alternative?

PLEASE HELP
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willHe:
As I understand it there are two ways to use a custom recovery, but both need an unlocked bootloader (unlocking should also sim-unlock the device) so you can access fastboot.

I'm trying to install the Liberty rom but it keeps giving me an error in the recovery. It just says can't open xxx.zip (bad) installation aborted. I checked the MD5 and it matched the file. Also tried it on Bootstrap recovery and Clockwork Recovery 5.0.2.0. Can anyone help please?
[Droid X General] Jubakuba:

[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Tis an excellent guide! =D

I will be sure to link back to it when helping others out.
[Droid X General] silversg:
Good stuff, wish I had found this guide BEFORE I flashed my first ROM a couple days ago! All the necessary info in one post!

You recommend "Backup Bookmarks" and I see that a reviewer on the Market has commented that "Contrary to "bookmark sort & backup" it correctly backup and later restore them in a clean phone. XML storage is also more safe in case of trouble." Can you confirm that this app is better/safer than "Bookmark Sort & Backup"? I used the latter and tried using Titanium Backup to bring my bookmarks over to VorteX 2.9, and since that actually worked I didn't need the other backup.

I have never bothered backing up my contacts since they are stored in the cloud on Google's servers. Should I be concerned about the integrity of the cloud, or should a local backup be made just so you can restore your contacts more quickly?

I had ended up needing to SBF to .602 after some tweaking on stock OTA .605 went horribly wrong (lol), and I ended up purchasing and using the Droid X bootstrapper, which worked perfectly for me. Does it not work on .605? Also, this needs to be used IN PLACE OF the version of Clockwork recovery you can flash using ROM Manager, correct? (Just making sure I have that straight.)

One more thing: If any user apps cause problems if you restore their data, too, shouldn't you be able to solve the problem by just clearing the individual app's data instead of doing a factory reset?

You should link to VorteX, by the way, I'm really enjoying it so far. :)
[Droid X General] troyzero:
i had the same problem. I found it was the file. I re-downloaded it and everthing worked perfect, don't know if that helps you though
[Droid X General] Jubakuba:
Sorry for the slow reply.

As far as the Bookmarks go...

I simply use that one since it's the first that popped up when I searched for an app to do so way back when.

No idea if it's safer or better.

And google does indeed backup your contacts.

And successfully restores them every time.

I only include that if you opted out of "keep this device backed up with my google account."

But you can still restore them if you do have that option disabled/enabled.

I actually heard that the Droid X bootstrap works fine now...but it hadn't in the past for some reason or another. I don't know if that's correct, but I KNOW the D2 works.

And via Rom Manger, you can use that as well.

Just remember to use the correct version...

Droid X or Droid X 2nd-init if you're on a 2nd-init rom. (i.e. CM7, MIUI, OMFGB, EncounterICS, etc).

And I suppose that is true, but the problem is you sometimes don't know what application is causing the problems.

You may get a FC on settings, for example...

Which app is causing an application that comes with the rom to FC? You may not know.

Or say your Wifi won't turn on.

What app is causing that?

Sometimes it isn't as clear as "Oh, Fruit Ninja is acting funny...I'll clear it and reinstall."

[Droid X General] sirzachary:
So I downloaded the Droid X Bootstrap Recovery app and I was all ready to go. But I went to launch the app I couldn't find the ClockworkMod Recovery option, only Bootstrap Recovery and Reboot Recovery. I did the Bootstrap Recovery but nothing happened like you specified (I granted Superuser Permissions and then it just said "success!" and that's it). I think it's also worth noting that I can't get my phone into recovery mode in general. What should I do?
[Droid X General] Jubakuba:
After clicking bootstrap, click reboot recovery.

That should work.

I haven't dealt with the Droid X Bootstrap in quite some time...so it's wonkyness may only be speculation on my part (could have been updated since I last tried).

If you don't have sucess:

Try toggling usb debugging to whatever it wasn't on (off, if it was on, on if it was off) and try again.

OR

Try this bootstrap application that was compiled from the D2 Bootstrap (that was [or is] the better option).

This needs to be bumped back up.

OP edited.
[Droid X General] sjmoreno:
I keep reading in several threads that currently there is no way to get root on .621. I just want to make sure people know that I had stock .605 which was rooted via the DROID 3 easy root script v7. I kept getting the "update available" message so I went ahead and took a chance and accepted the OTA .621 update and after it was finished installing and the phone had rebooted I still had root. It's been several days now and I still have root. I use Root Explorer a lot and it works fine after the .621 update.

Your mileage may vary but I've had good results.
[Droid X General] Jubakuba:
Your current root applications still work.

But anything new you try to grant root access won't work.
[Droid X General] sjmoreno:
Yup, you're right. I've verified the apps that had root access prior to my updating to .621 via the OTA upgrade still have root access and any new apps installed after the update that require root cannot access it.

Sorry for jumping the gun and thinking everything was okay when in actuality they were not.

I'm okay for now even without root for new apps since the ones I use are already installed on my phone. I can wait patiently for someone to release a rooted .621 SFB later or another root method for .621.

And in the end, I can always just get a newer phone since 2 of the 5 phones on my Verizon account have been up for renewal for several months now. I've just been waiting for them to offer a quad-core phone (with hopefully an unlocked bootloader). Here's to hoping...
[Droid X General] dnynooberone:
Re: Factory Reset

Near the end of the instructions is the line -

"- Do a factory reset from within this menu."

The only option is "wipe card/factory reset."

Since the wording is a bit different, and people might be afraid of an untold "wipe card" option, they might freak out.

[Droid X General] Wazzzz up:
Okay, so I read you post and most of the comments. The comment before mine is asking the same question I am about to ask, but it has no responses so here I go.

I just purchased a DROID X from a guy on Craigslist, I got home bypassed the Activation, and all of that, it shows like it is still in service thou, there are a few apps that I know don't come with it stock. I am not new to flashing ROM's.

I checked my version and it ends in, .620.MB810.Verizon.en.US.

The phone is rooted, it has Superuser. it updates like it has signal from Verizon and displays the Verizon Wireless logo when I drop down the status bar. I have no intention on using the previous owners service, or going through their information or stuff, I am about to format the SD Card, but don't want to do it in case there is a file in there I need.

Anyways, I want to start from scratch and just format it or flash a new ROM, I have no interest in using it as a phone, just as an extra to play games on, etc. Can I install a custom ROM?

Also if I call Verizon will they deactivate it or something? I don't want to cause the person to have to pay for service or something.
[Droid X General] Hacker101:
well the guy you bought the phone from should have done that if he sold you a phone and its not turned off (service wise) I would contact him and let them no unless he is already in the process's of doing so if the phone still is on verizon service the one you bought from him he has to call verizon about it because its still on his verizon plane. Hope it helped

And yes you can Rom it as long as its rooted

[Droid X General] oldpueblo:
I'm re-purposing my old Droid X to be a mini-tablet for my three year old, and for the life of me I cannot flash it to a new ROM. It's been a long time since I've done anything with it, so part of this is trying to recall what I did. As it stands right now here are the variables:

*If I power off and back on, it goes from the Motorola logo to ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.6

*From here I cannot flash any zips, when I go to try I only see the clockworkmod folder on the SD card and when I try to flash an update.zip it says E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory)

*If I reboot from there it loads up to the stock rom (.605) and from there if I open rom manager it says I have v5.0.2.0 flashed/installed. I can't install a zip from there either.

I've tried various combinations of trying to flash zips from either side, I remembered I had installed something called droid x bootstrap so I've tried flashing and rebooting with that as well, but no luck. My end goal is just to get to a good stable stock'ish ICS/JB ROM that can play many Google Play games. Thanks for your help.
