[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtc276:
I'm trying to flash to stock 2.3.4 from Cyanogen 7 and so far I've had no luck. I've tried flashing from both internal and external memory and this is what I get:

Installing: /emmc/234-sb-release.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E:Can't open /emmc/234-sb-release.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

I'm opening to flashing to stock by some other method, but I have no idea why this won't work for me. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paravorheim:
Try to download the ROM, although it seems you've tried that. If that doesn't work, maybe you are using the wrong recovery? Try romracers recovery, it's the best right now for the Atrix.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_86:
what about loading a rom like alien? where as its like stock, based off stock but has some tweaks and upgrades?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtc276:
Yeah. Alien didn't work either. I'll probably try a different recovery if I have to. It sucks that I'm going to have to put a lot of work into this seeing as I'm not even keeping the phone (passing it along to my dad).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phalanx7621:
Are u using an old recovery? Use rom managers recovery. (Cwm) if that doesn't work its possible there was data corruption with the rom downloads.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
It's really not a lot of work at all, just a few fastboot commands. Probably an issue with the dl though but try romracers in conjunction with a fresh download, most people only recommend the CWM recovery if you're flashing CM7.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtc276:
Just tried flashing with fastboot also. This is what I get:

EOCD not found, not Zip

error: failed to access zipdata in (then it's just a huge list of random characters that I'd rather not type out).

I've tried this with 3 different roms: 234-w-release.zip, 234-sb-release.zip, and Alien-4.zip. They all had the same result of not working.

But that's not all. I also flashed Rom Racer's recovering (successfully) and tried to flash the same files that way. Still nothing worked.

I find it extremely unlikely that 3 ROMs that were all downloaded on different days will not work at all.

If anyone has anymore ideas, I'll be up for a while.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtc276:
Also, is it possible for me to flash 2.3.4 using RSD? If so, I can just do that. I want to make sure because I know flashing back prior to 2.3.4 can cause a hard brick.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] princeandy63:
Are you using the Rom Manager recovery or the custom recovery?

For Fruitcake roms (Stock based roms) needs the custom cwm recovery. Thats here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1204500

edit: do not SBF!! that results in a hard brick

also, download the files with the built in browser's downloader, dont use a download manager, sometimes they can corrupt the zip
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtc276:
I think I've got it to work! I reflashed the recovery you directed me to, download a new file, and it actually flashed this time. I should be good to pass this phone along now.

Thanks to everyone who helped me out with this one! I really do appreciate it!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
While I can agree that flashing an sbf through rsd poses a risk of hard bricking your device, I do have to add that it is not definitive. I have sbf'ed twice now, once from pi-crust and once from cm7, so it can be done, but I would also suggest just using fruit cakes. :)

That's weird because the link he gave you was the romracer recovery. What were you using before that you thought was romracer? :confused:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phalanx7621:
That's true. I hate when people spread misinformation. 2.3.4 stock .sbf will not cause a brick. Only earlier .sbfs will.

Blessings everyone, I had a little isssue that I just ran into while flashing some roms. I had Juggernaut 3.7 on my phone and was having battery issues. I started to experiment with other roms with no real success. When I decided to go back to the Juggernaut, everything flashed correctly, and installed correctly, but now I cant install anymore apps. I have around 90 apps with plenty of more room to go. It says that there is insufficient memory. Can anyone help me? If if makes life easier, you guys can call me. Thanks so much and God bless.

Hi everybody!

A few days ago, i rooted and installed CWMace 4.0.0.9 on my phone. Now, i want to flash a ROM, but i'm confused. These are my questions:

1) I thought about installing a stock rom of this website but i don't know what steps to take :S

2) CyanogenMod will come out officially for SGA?

3) If second question is "no", i thought on install TheMythICS, but in this moment is a beta version. :s

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peewster:
Hey guys, i'm trying to downgrade a friends desire with the tut from here, but somehow it seems impossible to create a goldcard.

tried it with 4 different sd cards, so it's not the sdcard.

steps:

- format fat32

- extract cid

- tried this with goldcard helper from the market, and with adb shell too.

- reversed the cid replace the 00 when needed.

- opend the image and disk with hexedit, replace offset 0000170 - 000000 with the part from the goldcard.img, but every freakin time when i unmount the sdcard, the phone complains about a damaged sdcard.

So i have to reformat it again and again and again....

any ideas ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
First off this doesnt belong in development so I will move it to the Q&A.

Second a buddy ran into this prob and it turned out the class 2 sd card he was using was the problem. Make sure the SD is a class 4 or better

i'm using class 4 sd cards, 4 of them.... this is just crazy :)

Did you try the Ace Hack kit? It is the only known good way to do it. Market apps that claim to do it never work right
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peewster:
well the ace hackit still requires a goldcard i believe, so that's the whole issue :p
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yes it does. Try it. It generates the gold card for you. It has never failed for me or any other that i know of. As long as you read the manual. No hex editing, Just almost as simple as it can be. Give it a shot.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peewster:
download isn't supported anymore, so i need a download to the tool.... all downloads by dev are removed.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qkevinto:
Make sure you're using the correct CID. Which is the reverse CID of mmc2 not mmc1. From what I've noticed the copy reversed CID function from Gold Card helper from the market only copies the reversed CID of mmc1 to the clipboard not reversed CID of mmc2 so you will have to type it out manually.

[General Questions and Answers] GSLEON3:
I have a fairly new Sony receiver that I really do love & I'm just not ready to give it up & shell out for a new DLNA receiver even though the tv and bluray are DLNA, I really don't want to go buy more cables and have to run & route everything through my TV and always have it on just to listen to music.

I do have a lot of old Windows Mobile devices laying around. So, I was wondering if anyone had a way to use the BT or WIFI & one of the old WM devices to either remotely control my Android device, or any SW that would allow me to use my android device as a media server, controlled by windows mobile?

Any ideas?

Hey guys,

Wanted to bring you a quick hardware comparison video on the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus S, mainly to show off the improvements that Google / Samsung made to the 3rd release of their flagship phones. You'll find comparisons on camera, processor and displays amongst a larger list. Hopefully you enjoy it!

the GPU of the GN is clocked at 384mhz, so even though it's the same chip as the S, there is a boost in performance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
Actually, according to a recent find in the kernel, it actually isn't clocked at 384mhz, but at 308mhz. However, there are kernels that have overclocked the GPU to 384mhz and the cpu to 1.4 GHz (e.g. the francis francisco kernel)

What, if any, are the benefits for using the EK02 ROM over EG30?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
Well there might be benefits to posting in the correct section.

Questions do NOT belong in General! Post in Q&A Instead
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
You can make a phone call? Is this a trick question?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmap516:
Wow. One, there's no section for Q&A when using the XDA App.

Two, I asked about the ROM and not the kernelor modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
You didnt add Q&A to your favorites..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
No benefits of any significance. They just used this maintenance update as an opportunity to update the ROM to Gingerbread 2.3.6 and make a few other minor tweaks that probably don't matter to most. The real meat of this update was about the kernel and modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] n01un0:
Ya know, I was going to post a topic with something similar.

I have been watching and reading every thread since the leak last week of the EK02 and of all the reading I have done, I have not really seen anyone exclaiming about how much better their phone was after updating to EK02. I've seen a few remarks on slightly better quadrant and little to no LOS, but that's been about it.

After reading the Sprint official release info on this update, to me it seems like nothing was really addressed in this update, other than LOS and a move to 2.3.6. While I agree the LOS is a big, big problem and have experienced it a few times myself, I have much bigger issues with the phone that really needs to be addressed.

1) Does this release actually do anything for the crappy reception (both cell, data and wifi) that this phone gets compared to all my other android phones?

2) Does this fix the issues with gps not locking or taking forever (rather than me trying one of the 20 fixes posted that have not seemed to have worked for me yet)?

Maybe this is a dumb or n00b question, but is this just a quick fix bandaid for only LOS or is this the actual MR that we were hoping to come? If it's a bandaid, should we expect an actual MR to come anytime soon?

I guess I am just trying to figure out like the OP, what's the benefit? I was unfortunate enough to screw up a flash and had to Odin to E31 so I am trying to figure out now if it is even worth the effort to flash the E30 (that is finally available) and then upgrade to EK02.

Another n00b question, since the E30 was the missing part of the puzzle that was hampering progress for developers, will this mean that now that it's available, maybe some of my issues that really need to be addressed will probably get fixed first by a developer/xda before a MR ever happens or are these issues that will have to come from sprint/samsung?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmap516:
Wowww. Sorry! Maybe there wasn't q&a section when I favorited a while back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I like how you did that Jerdog...thanked for the laugh.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
This was what my signal looked like using EG30 modem then EK02 modem. Notice all of the green in the signal now. Also, I pay for Hotspot. On 4g, if you were tethered and received a call, it would disconnect. That was also fixed.. LOS, that's really to be determined. I am still on 2.3.4 ROM but using EK02 modem and kernel. Only difference in the 2 screenies is the modem. As for the ROM itself, someone else would have to comment on that. I am waiting on flashing...for now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Like I said, the ROM update appears to definitely be the least important update of the three major pieces. Which makes sense. The EG30 ROM is/was pretty damn good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] whatsitsnamenow:
I updated the modem to ek02 yesterday and it made a big difference in reception. I had to rely on an airave to make and receive calls since I had the Epic Touch. After the update I can actually have a conversation without relying on the airave. I can also use wifi at full speed without the need to stand next to the router. Only glitch is that I have had 1 LOS since the update. I will keep close eye on it to see if it appears again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] n01un0:
I'm in the same boat with having to use my airrave. Thanks so much for the insight! I'm off to flash!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wolfkstaag:
I think my phone must hate me. I made the same change and have had absolutely zero difference in signal strength.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Well, you have to take into account I live in a GREAT signal area. I have 4 bar 4g service sitting on my couch. It seems like the signal strength is improved but if you are in a terrible signal area, it may only improve from terrible to bad.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] n01un0:
Ok, flashed back to E30 with no issues...........other than I am getting SD Damaged issue after reboot. Was I supposed to pull the SD card?

Anyway, on to EK02. I don't know if I am getting too old but finding anything in these forums nowadays is becoming increasingly a pain in the arse with all the clutter. So far, the only EK02 modem that I see is for flashing with CWM.

1) Is this the one I am supposed to use?

2) I thought you couldn't do a full install with CWM, only a patch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
You either get the EK02 modem implicitly in the OTA patch update or you flash it manually through the CWM updater.

The EK02 CWM modem.bin update.zip is a patch install. It patches EG30 modem.bin to give you EK02 modem.bin.
