[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
I had a similar issue. Unlocking the boot loader I used the Sbf for the Electrify by mistake and not the Pudding.sbf. Only it bricked my phone sticking it on the moto bootup and just giving me some errors and going nowhere from their. Now I'm just spit balling here, but I have a prediction on how you can fix, do some research to make sure this may work and not brick your phone:

1) Unlock your bootloader using Pudding.sbf

2) Use Bootstrap to Install CWM for Photon

3) goto the mounts and storage menu select format system

4) Once that finishes go back and select wipe data/factory reset and then wipe dalvik cache and cache partition

5) After wiped go to the advanced menu select reboot recovery

6) Once it goes back to recovery Power off

7) Go into RSD (hold power nd Volume up+)

8) Flash the stock sbf

9) boot up

10) I would recommend using Sdk tools Fastboot command -W to erase all user data and cache after everything if it boots up

I would assume this would do the trick, the only thing I'm uncertain of is if you'll be able to unlock. (If it goes through a long method then says failed right at the end then it probably worked) If it doesn't work you can continue the rest of the steps using bootstrap, but If it were me I would want to try to get as much Photon on the phone and Electrify off the phone as possible
[Motorola Photon 4G] medic233:
Alright, completed 1-8. Phone won't reboot, stuck in the Dual Core screen.

I did notice a bunch of "Failed to Boot 2" messages, but last I had looked the battery was full.

Attempting fastboot stuff now.

moto-fastboot devices works, lists my device.

moto-fastboot erase recovery fails. remote: (00180001)

moto-fastboot flash recovery stock_recovery.smg works, sends and write recovery

moto-fastboot reboot works
[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
So where are you now?
[Motorola Photon 4G] medic233:
It is just sitting there with the dual core screen. Still.

Tried turning it off so the battery could charge, won't turn off.

Menu is still accessible.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
This is obvious, but I have to ask, did you do a battery pull and let it sit for a couple seconds and then try to reboot? also it's stuck on mogo, is it showing error 2,3 or 4? Or any error for that matter?
[Motorola Photon 4G] medic233:
Did a few battery pulls.

No error, just the Moto Dual Core Screen.

I contacted one of my friends who is a rep, and he will strip the phone, and exchange it. Helps that his boss has a Mopho and he is getting one in a few days.

Thank you for the help FanBoy_Hunter. Greatly appreciated.
[Motorola Photon 4G] medic233:
I pick up my new mopho tomorrow.

I am going to leave it stock(sigh).

Was not going to reactivate my crackberry.

Grrrr!

[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
Hey guys, just wanted to spark a convo and how you think MS can or will evolve the Live Tiles. I beleive they will get boring after a while. They should spice them up with some different transitions and movement. Will there ever be a change to the way our tiles are setup and viewed? How can they keep the homepage interesting, innovative, and quick for the user without following the footsteps of the grid format?
[Windows Phone 7 General] LexusFman:
Make all of the tiles animated, including phone, Internet, mail, and basically all of the defaults. It doesn't have to do anything useful, just look cool.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
I'm curious why you think they would get boring. Live Tiles are just a way for an app to display information, they are only as boring as the apps that are using them.

I would like to see support for apps to use doublewide tiles though, and perhaps animations (like the people, music, and other stock apps have) instead of static images. We really just need more APIs and multitasking.

Imagine stuff like the following

1. Check-in tiles that automatically update when your friends are checked in nearby or there is a popular place, deal, etc

2. Traffic apps that show a near-live map on a tile

3. Exercise apps that show a near-live counter of calories burned, miles run, or speed

There is a lot that can still be done, IMO.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Screw the animations. How about useful information.

Instead of a simple number how about the phone tile show who called?

How about the messages and email tile showed the messages or detail.

Because right now they're basically huge ass icons with numbers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
I like your ideas, you got something going there, we can build off of that, reason i made this thread to reflect on ideas as such
[Windows Phone 7 General] falconeight:
They look and work fine for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
These ideas should definately be implemented, I totally agree
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
They work for me well also but im thinking 5-6 years down the road, how will they change this will they keep the metro look or how can they improve on what we have is my question? Scrolling can sometimes be a pain especially when you have tons of stuff pinned.

How about specific hubs like how they have in the marketplace for categories, Depending on what category you download from it will go to that hub to help minimize the amount of scrolling. Jkust a thought. Kinda like how iOS takes a icon and its several similar apps in the one icon
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
I dotn think they will change it, because its a smartphone , with tiles, icons ect. i dont know in any way how else they can change it , without rendering the phone functions useless

IMO, wp7 UI is already an evolution from IOS and android. this is where the best it can get.

many years ago, during the nokia symbian early 2000s days i used to yearn for a phone interface which runs like those nice flash websites u see on the net, almost half a decade later, we have it now - WP7. This is the closest u can get .

Another possibility i see , are those maybe in windows phone 8 , we will see those widgets , floating widgets like weather which may pop up when u unlock on the start screen

stuff running on the lock screen ,

overall i only see a a possible change in looks in the future, maybe 3D tiles or customizable widgets, tiles , ability to choose to display what u want to see on the tile
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
As I agree with you as of not but, the color selection is lame, I want to customize my phone a little. Right now besides using a hack to change or add colors, there is no way to really do that.

I would like to see some type of texture or something to jazz up the tiles a little.

They work great now but, just need a little tweaking in my eyes...
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Its called HTC Sense 3.5. Its stunning.
[Windows Phone 7 General] link68759:
I cannot disagree more. WP7 metro is about simplicity and information. It looks good because it's no flare, all business. Leave themeing to the modding community (whenever we get past the rooting stage that is). The best thing for microsoft to do is increase tile functionality without jeopardizing the 'ease of use'.

My one idea is; implement the option, per app, to have a new pinned tile go either to the top, or to the bottom. For example, notes and to-do could auto pin to the top, everything else to the bottom. That way if I want something on top, I don't have to scroll down to find it, then drag it up.

Or maybe 'pin tile' should bring up a zoomed out edit screen, you tap twice where you want the tile.

Another thing; that black empty space on the right. Make it into a scroll bar, so you can navigate faster.

hmm HTC sense for android is fat and not that good. (Interesting that Sense for WinMo had more functionality and was much better... but I digress.) What's more, android's widgets aren't that great either. The whole point of android initially was widgets, but now I have an app that I use and a separate dedicated widget, for the same function and purpose, for nearly everything. I had a newsreader app, and since the author never bothered to make a widget, I had to go find a widget. Or I did that, until I realized that widgets were useless. None of them mesh together, a lot of them take up a lot of space and offer very little functionality, they slow down your phone and eat your ram.

Now with wp7 and tiles, nearly every app implements good tile practices, and with tiles there is no issue of things taking up too much space or being ugly.

It seems to me that for the most part, android and android devs have left widgets behind. WP7 will embrace the tiles for... always probably.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
My number one issue with Live Tiles is that developers can't change the police size on them (confirmed by a few devs I asked). So many tiles who flip to show you information are just as useless as non live tiles because they show incomplete information.

Just now I'm looking at my phone and all my pinned news feeds show cut off titles which is pretty stupid.
[Windows Phone 7 General] otherworld:
By 'police' I wasn't sure if you meant font size? Or Tile width?

As a developer you're limited by Microsoft to hardly any text on the front of a tile (and only in one specific position), and only the option of a large-ish font on the back of a tile (often too big as you say to display say a full news headline).

You can see what a developer is allowed to change on a tile here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh202948(v=vs.92).aspx

i.e. a single number, a small bit of text on the front, some text on the back, and a background image. I think it's too limiting at the moment.

You can get round these limitations a bit by dynamically generating the tile background (for front or back) as an image (e.g. of some smaller font text). That's not easy to code though, especially if you're trying to dynamically generate the image on the phone through say a wp7 background agent. It's a bit easier doing it on a server - but that means it won't work when there's no mobile signal. Having to generate the whole thing as an image (especially just to display smaller font text) also feels a little bit like using a sledgehammer to knock in a nail.

Similarly I think Microsoft should let developers create double width tiles - they could even make it a marketplace certification requirement that the user should have an option of specifying single/double width tile in the app. As long as the user has the option of choosing I can't see the harm.

Microsoft should be giving developers full and easy access to what happens in those 173 by 173 squares of tile pixels. Perhaps even give the user the option in-app as to whether the developer is allowed to make the Tile animate or not - I think then Tiles would become a lot more interesting.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Yeah I meant font size, sorry I'm French :p

On your app (loving it by the way) the text on the back is usually fine because it displays scores but on BBC News or WPCentral for instance you only get half a headline or something like that which is totally useless as you then need to open the app to know what's going on. It goes against the concept of Live Tiles, I don't get it. On the other hand, on the Me tile the font size adapts to the text there is to display so it is possible, it's just Microsoft not giving access to devs, totally stupid.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Lie much? For every tile on WP7 I have a widget. Left Widgets behind? What planet are you on?

Tiles offer absolutely no function, only partial information.

Mesh together? Nearly every app implements good tile practices? Sure they do, sure...

Sense is fat and not that good? However your other post perfectly describes Sense.

But yeah
[Windows Phone 7 General] LexusFman:
Flare sells phones though. I'm not talking about a super flashy animation that doesn't do anything but I think most of the default tiles can be pretty static and boring compared to the useful stuff. My favorite tile on WP7 is the people hub because it's constantly moving and changing even if it doesn't do anything. If every tile was like that, Windows Phone would stand out to the average consumer more than it already does.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JVH3:
For me, the animation of the People tile has seemed pretty useless. There doesn't seem to be any meaning behind what people are displayed and why. If there is, I haven't seen it. I love the People Hub, but the Tile just doesn't provide much value to me.

To me, I would much rather have settings to determine which people would show on the tile. Then disappear once acknowledged, like the email indicators. So, if a contact updates Facebook, I may want to see it. But, I don't care if most of my contacts update things. So, in an ideal world a persons picture would only appear if they had updated something. Then it would be hidden and remain hidden once I acknowledged it. Then if something else would be updated, it would appear. And the users this would apply to would be set by me.

Effectively the animation of the People Tile just seems like noise.

Animation for the sake of animation is just distracting and consumes additional power.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alcoholic:
I want the ability to control the app from the tile itself. Kind of like toggle switches.
[Windows Phone 7 General] andrew-in-woking:
Hardware limitations

Hi all

I think that some of the limitations on Live tiles are due to hardware considerations. Regular live tiles are limited to one background update per 30 minutes. This is because MS is keen to maintain performance and battery life. I think that as hardware improves, particularly mobile processors, we will see live tile functionality expand.

Cheers

[Hero, G2 Touch General] mark rothshild:
is it possible to replace official recovery with clockwork recovery in stock rom?

i have a goldcard but it does not let me sappimg roms different from my stock rom.

i donot have a cw or amon recovery. i need the recovery to get the engineering spl.

since

only

my stockrom can be sappimg'ed, how can i get the clockwork recovery by replacing My stockrom's original recovery with the

cw/amon recovery

??

can it be done??

thanks.

-------reason...

i had 3.22 radio, but i flashed another stockrom (htc europe 3.05 rom) which was devided in rom and rom1 files. i flashed rom1, sys,userdata,recovery. rom file had hboot,boot and radio 6.35.

i was unable to flash rom file (hboot,boot and radio 6.35) because when radio starts updating, the screen starts changing colours to grey for, like, 40 minutes (does this normally happen??)

now i have old radio, incompatible hboot/boot file- to correct it, i need Recovery

---EDIT---

MY phones stuck in hboot mode, i have no other option except goldcard, but what about what i have written, does it work? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Tenpin:
Download rom manager from the market, although depending on your rom it may not be available (android 2.1) if not download it off Google by typing, rom manager.apk. Once installed you can add the new clockwork recovery or the RA recovery via the application, they both work fine. Hope that's helped!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] lobedoc:
You can, but i suppose that Amon Ra is better than others.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] karrim:
I would also suggest same solution as Tenpin wrote. Rom manager and it allows to change recovery (I suggest Amon Ra as well).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] TheReverend210:
If you do get your phone sorted, remember the stock Rom reflashes the stock recovery every time you shut your phone down.

Also, I believe if you extract the proper signed Rom.zip from the ruu and put it on your sdcard and press volume down when in fastboot, it should search for and flash the Rom.zip. At least then you will have a Rom to boot into to flash a new recovery.

My old hero messed up once too, I would seriously recommend flashing the s-off bootloader, makes recovering from errors such as this so much easier.

As the Title says, I am thinking of trying new ROMS for my phone. I am posting this in the T-Mobile Q & A because...well...I have a T-Mobile phone and I am not sure if other manufacturers have their file systems the same as T-Mobiles.

Anyway before I go ROM happy so-to-speak...I am just wondering a few things;

STATEMENT: My phone is unlocked (I called TMo and got the code from them)

QUESTION: will my phone retain it's unlocked status?

STATEMENT: My phone is rooted

QUESTION: Will my phone retain it's Root Status?

ASSUMPTION: Yes so long as the ROM I flash too has SU.

STATEMENT: I purchased apps from the Market such as Titanium Backup Pro, Super User Elite, Root Explorer, ect...

QUESTION: Will these be "Carried over" to the new ROM and still be installed or would I have to re-install them?

QUESTION: Are all the apps from the market compatible with all the roms out there? (For example: ES File Explorer, or games that use the accelerometer, or Market Enabler as I am in afghanistan right now as a civilian contractor) and if not, how can I tell if an app is compatible with a certain ROM?

If I could get answers to these questions before I go and flash a new ROM (Especially the Unlocked Phone question) that would be great.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] setzer715:
I apologize as I do not know this. Maybe try to find someone in here that is using this phone on ATT. As an assumption I do not think flashing a custom rom will overwrite your unlocking.

Assumption Correct. ANY custom ROM will have root.

YES, any app you have purchased in the market will carry on to any ROM or phone you use so long as your sign in with the google account you used to purchase the app. Well, as long as it's a compatible app with that phone.

Any app that you are currently using will be compatible with any TouchWiz ROM. There is, however, a couple AOSP/CM7 ROM's out there and you could, not probably, but could run into compatibility issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kuechlea1:
All of your paid apps are liked to your Google sign in and account. So as soon as you reload on your new rom you can redownload them whenever. It will usually give you an option in the first startup to keep it linked and autobackup.

Most roms (if not all) have root. So You should be autorooted. As far as unlocking I am not sure, but if not couldn't you just unlock it again using the code they gave you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ghawton:
You will not lose the SIM unlock when you flash a new ROM. What I did find though, was that I was unable to unlock the phone while running CM7, I had to flash back to a stock-based ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] neotrin2000:
Well before I flashed to Juggernaut I backed up my APKs and of course had to reinstall them. Redownloading them from the market was a last resort as our internet speeds out here in afghanistan would of meant it would of taken HOURS to download.
