[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3nnynapalm:
Hey all,

I did my searching for the last several hours, and am feeling pretty weak. I know there are several other posts with this error - but please let me explain my situation.

Phone was running 2.3.6. I am unsure how it was originally unlocked (carrier unlocked) and bought it used. To my knowledge it did not have root access... (though the advert said it did - running SU in Terminal to show if it had access failed)

I tried doing a factory reset on the phone because it kept acting weird. Just rebooting 10 times a day, and wifi not working either.

Since the reset the phone has not made it past the M Dual Core screen.

Edit as I type: As I type this, I FINALLY got into recovery mode. It took a long time... is that normal? I mean.. loongggg. Now i see other posts state I just need to click the bottom right corner above the search key and I should be on the way to recovering the device...

This however is not working...

I will keep the phone plugged in over night and see if it just needed more time I suppose. Can you guys recommend anything?

I am on win7 - should have the device drivers installed (though, Windows doesn't seem to recognize this with a notification bubble). I know the phone was not on USB Debug Mode when I clicked 'factory reset'.. would it have retained this?

I will update as i have more information.. otherwise if I am missing something please let me know.

Thanks again,

Try booting into recovery mode by holding volume down while turning on. When the menu appears keep pressing volume down until it says android recovery and then press volume up to select it. If an android Guy with a warning sign shows up, press volume down and up. A menu should appear soon. Try to do a data wipe and factory reset from there.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3nnynapalm:
Hi ar31791, thank you for the reply.

That worked to put me into a recovery mode - very nice. Is the button combo different depending on the version of android your'e running, or just phone dependent? I appreciate that.

Couple follow up questions if you guys don't mind and can help

- after the factory reset - my boot time is incredibly slow.... like 30 minutes to boot kinda thing. I tried to factory reset several times since, and its the same issue.

- my data is not working on the phone. I used the apn suggestions from all sites I've found, rebooted (took a while) tried data roaming, etc, but it just doesn't work. I have a decent idea that the apn's are correct because the mms apn worked fine with a test picture message.

My main concern is the incredible lengthy boot time and the data no longer working. The issue with wifi still showing 'error' when enabling it was not resolved by the reset (I didn't think it would - I was reading other posts where it is suspected as a hardware issue).

Thanks again for the reads, and replies. I appreciate the help!

You need romracers or cwm. Unless yer going to stay stock.

Is this an att or a rogers/international phone? Best bet would be to flash pudding and than cwm + custom roms
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3nnynapalm:
hey again- thank you for the replies.. seriously. much appreciated.

phalanx, i dont mind staying stock but would that not allow the data connection to work correctly? i found a few posts based on the romracer. i lack the hands on experience, but it looks like i just need to follow the steps for an adb push and then install eh?

you mention staying stock, is that an option? info on my setup below

crnkoj, i am running a bell phone on a fido network in canada. bought on ebay pre unlocked. i do not bekieve it is rooted. phone, mms and text work fine, it seems to be a problem finding a data network at this moment.

thanks again guys, ill be taking a look into the tutorials for romracer and cwm, and giver a shot. lemme know if you have any further ideas, questions or anything you think i might need to know.

edit.. also, whats the deal with the crazyyyyy long boot up time?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phalanx7621:
No its just that with an unlocked bootloader you can flash a new.recovery and that makes it easier to flash roms and also kernels and radios. Kernels and radios can affect your ability to connect with data and can even affect the speeds.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davideholland:
I had a similar situation. So, i did a full wipe installed the rom did another full wipe then installed the appropriate kernel and booted it up. I believe you nedd to install the right kernel per the instructions. It will mot boot if the kernel is not correct.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3nnynapalm:
Thanks again guys,

Man it's a funny issue. I am always able to get in and factory wipe the device, but it seems that sometimes that damn M screen will sit forever. I left it over the course of a movie and a half (probably 3 hours) and that screen was still just sitting there.

I get into the fastboot menu easy enough before that screen hangs, and sometimes i can get into the Boot Android (without BP) (I believe it's called) and sometimes it hangs, and sometimes it works.

Other times, like right now, it boots just fine and kinda fast.

I am having an issue with the RSDLite application recognizing my phone. It did once - then hung at 94% flash of the pudding tutorial. I didn't realize the tutorial says to keep the phone plugged in for 10 minutes even after a fail to see if it actually completes. I havent been able to have the software recognize the phone since- I've installed and reinstalled the motorola drivers, set the phone to usb debugging, and was able to try 2 computers, and 2 different cables. I'll giver another shot though.

I am pretty sure my boot loader was unlocked (as I said I had this all done from an ebay purchase) so I think I can just proceed to the flashing, but if there is a way to confirm that it is indeed locked, I'll take the advice.

The more I read though, it looks like I might just need to send this beast in for a service call with Motorola, because of that damn wifi "error" error. I'd hate to go through all this and realize it still will not work.

Thanks for the replies, I'll always take more suggestions, and if you guys think I'm on the wrong path, let me know. I'll keep searchin dem' forums :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ar31791:
If your bootloader is unlocked it will say unlocked in white letters on that M boot logo screen. Did you run "fastboot oem unlock" after the rsd flash?

Ok, i know this sound noobish, but an app called blade buddy may have just enabled hw acc on my sense 3 rom... I don't know if its real, but if it is, that would be so easy to put it on ICS... What do you think??

[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Dont think that would help. It sets the build prop debug.sf.hw to 1, which our sense 3 roms already have, as the sense 3 and 3.5 launchers are already gpu accelerated.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
I could be wrong though
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
In terms of the extra hardware acceleration on ICS (considering all versions of Android since day one have had some form of hw accel), I can't see an app doing anything where additional support in the kernel/drivers are needed.

The launcher is laggy for you? Its always fine for me. Its apparently not even full hw accel anyway, just a semi version or something

See this post on G+ (from a Google engineer) to see why there are lots of myths and misunderstandings about hw accel, it should answer your question :

Hey guys,

First of all thx a lot for the app, loved it since the 3.x version, really smooth now. I have one problem however, but it's not version specific since I'm on the latest version now, but it occured at the older versions too. I like to have about 10/12gb offline music, so I let google music 'make available offline', after some days however, I see a notification, that google music is downloading again... At that point all my previous offline music is gone... I tried deleting the system app completely, including the folders etc. but nothing seemed to help...

Got a galaxy tab 10.1 rooted... Everything works great on my sII... Thx in advance!

Greetings,

Jake

hello

i'm using turbosim .. the phone working with data and everything but its not stable .. it doesn't always receive calls , and it get stuck on black screen and keyboard off if i was talking with someone and he hangs up (then the only option is either a battery pull , or connecting to a charger and then the screen will turn on and i can continue using the cellphone normally

before it freezes , it makes a strange sound , the closest similar sound i can think of is rubbing nylon

i'm using fission 2.4.3 rom

i tried all the connection modes and its always the same ..

i noticed that if the other person hangs up when my screen is on (it always turn off when a call starts) , it doesn't freeze (but the cellphone still make that strange sound).. if i hang up first , nothing happens ..

any ideas ?

call quality is great by the way .. what could be the problem ?

Panic! pls help?

Hi

So i tried flashing via cwm a rom and while trying to wipe the dalvik cache i think i pressed a wrong menu item. i said something like "back menu disabled", only had the option to format a partition, i did that, and gave me otions to choose from 0m to 4G... i chose 0m. i dont know what partition got formated to that...

anyway, after that, i only got the option to "reboot to recovery". did that, and it gave me a new menu, which now appears always at the power on, with all the options that normally appear when press vol-down... bunt its not on just onle line, its a long list, where all appear. i can select them all, if i tell it to boot, it boots the rom just fine, BUT the screen is misaligned! the press appears higher than normal. for example, i cant press the last row of icons, the back/menu/etc...

any ideeas please?

is there any way to reformat those back? or to flash a fresh partitioning system, even the stock one?

thank you very much

2.if that work flash the rom again "do the wipes carefully this time"

3.if that work just enter to the setting and in the storage section format your sd card you can format both. "if you have something on them make a back up in your computer first"

Hi, I'm making a dualboot mod for our poor GT540 :) So we can change ROM with one click.

Now I'm able to boot from second os from sdcard. Now i have to optimize some things(e.g. installing rom from zip, installing update zips from recovery, ...)

Installing;

1) Creating Partitions;

Open up a partition manager then delete all of your partitions then create new 3. First partition will be fat for sdcard data music, picture etc. Second will be ext2 and will be used for /data partition and third one is for /system partition.

Video tutorial:

[YOUTUBE]vNQAMGKBBv0[/YOUTUBE]

2) Download ROM from below(more roms will be added soon!) and place it in your sdcard.

3) Install it like usual rom installing...

ROMS:

Utopia v1:http://d-h.st/bw2

SDSL v2:http://d-h.st/XjS

Wupload deleted the other roms I'll try to upload all of them...

ZIPs:

Thank you nutterbg!(For giving me the idea of mounting.)

Thank you Pcfighter!(For making that great rom!)

Thank you Mikegapinski!

Thank you DevSwift!

Thank you Miroslav!

P.S:I think second OS is booting faster but im not sure. I will test it later.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nutterbg:
It would seem it fails to provide a shell. Maybe searches for it in the new location, and it's not there? Make sure it's accessible in both places. Otherwise maybe try to mount system so it can use the shell, and then try to remount the new one from sdcard. I don't know...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Sadronis:
I moved my all system files to the new partition so there is /system/bin/sh. I'm gonna try the mount the original then the sdcard one now.

Edit:

I did and now i get "- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: I/O error (5) -" what should cause to this?

Edit 2:

Now i can get shell. But not going then. I have to work out...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Sadronis:
Ok i made it :) Now i can boot as normal. I can use it normal. But installing script must be changed. When installing a rom with recovery you must change a line. So this is not ready to use :)
