[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
Its been a while but I seem to remember that Moto's Froyo on the Atrix was "optimized" for two cores, not sure exactly what they did to "optimize" it, but I would say that #2 on this list is not correct.

The biggest thing and the one reason you should ALWAYS upgrade is for security reasons, the new features are great, but with each new version come bugfixes and security enhancements and those you should not pass on.
[Acer Iconia A500] eweo911:
My A500 is running Taboonay 2.2 with 2.6.36.3HoneyVillain-3.4+ kernel and Thors CWM. I need to return this to acer for repair. How do I go ahead making this thing stock as it came from the factory with no root and no CWM?

I have read all I can find on reverting this back to stock but I see many different ideas on doing it. Some are restoring to stock with root. Some don't have root but still have CWM installed. Can CWM be removed? I need this back to 3.1 stock and unrooted.

I have flashed many Android phones but while this is similar, I am just missing something.

What files would I need to do this?

What are the steps?

I hate feeling like a noob.

If I have been reading correctly, will downloading the CWM-ROM_A500_701414_GEN1.zip file from this thread. work to revert back to stock? Do I only use this file if I don't want root? Or do I need root since I would have to run Acer Recovery to replace CWM with the stock recovery?

Not real sure if that's all I'd need or not?
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
i would try a rooted stock rom. Download acer recovery from the market and iconiaroot from the dev forum (if youre rooted you know about these). Flash the rom, install stock acer recovery with acer recovery app, and unroot with iconiaroot. This should have you at 100% stock since you can find a stock rom only altered to have root quite easily in the dev forum.
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
If you have CWM loaded then just download the correct update.zip for your region and install it from your SD Card.

[Acer Iconia A500] eweo911:
Thanks for the answers. How would I go about reformatting the internal sd as well? At which point can I do that without screwing anything up?
[Acer Iconia A500] eweo911:
I'm assuming a hard reset after I get everything back to stock would suffice?
[Acer Iconia A500] ktmdave7:
while you still have Root privilages with any ROM, use any file explorer app (example ES File Explorer) to view "\sdcard" or "\mnt\sdcard"

Option: Save data (if you wish off to pc)

Manually delete with explorer app.

after you've manually Deleted internal sdcard folder contents...

1. Option: Save all your apps or data (that you want) (cwm backup + save to pc or safe spot)

2. Do a full wipe and format of data (to get a clean fresh install of rom)

3. Flash Rom

4. Turn your tab in.

5. After you get it back, revert back to 3.01 or TimmyDeans way back to Root)

ROM : HC v3.2 (GEN2 = USA) (STOCK OTA non rooted, locked new bootloader kills CWM recovery) http://vache-android.com/files/Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2.zip

Optional : there will be 2 small OTA updates (8 MB each) that will get you up to HC v3.2.1 (it will be 7.014.02_COM_GEN2).
[Acer Iconia A500] slow_DC4:
What are you sending it in to repair for? In my experience, a broken power button, a revert back to stock was unnecessary. My tablet had cwm and Thor's rom loaded, they fixed it free of charge but had loaded stock 3.2.1 on it.

Sent from 234 Elm Street
[Acer Iconia A500] eweo911:
Hey, thanks all for the answers. I got it back to stock. I am sending it in because after two months a line of dead pixels appeared across the screen. I wanted it back to stock just because I didn't want to chance them calling me up and telling me that the warranty was void since I rooted the tablet. It is a possibility. I don't mind if they update it to 3.2.1 though as it can be downgraded. I jsut wanted no problems with the free fix.
[Acer Iconia A500] hyperkamote:
Here's what happen when i send mine for repair.. My rear camera got broken because of the shor fall im running on a custom rom and im rooted.. i call them to send my tab for repair then i just revert/restore my stock rom backup but without unrooting it and returning the original acer bootloader.. to my knowledge that i just read somwhere in the forums that they will just update it to the latest version which is 3.2 and it will remove the root and revert to acer stock 3.2

As i wait my tab to be returned and that day has finally come, i boot up my tab and when i was looking to test my camera the SuperUser app is still there look in to the settings and i was surprised that they didn't update my tab (still on stock 3.1) test the camera at it was much better it way different than the previous to my experience. Much faster and no lag when you move it to one place to another in a fast motion.. then shut down my device to test if i still have thor's bootloader and it is still there..
[Acer Iconia A500] adambomb_13:
will this get rid of amen ra recovery as well and if not how would I get rid of that? By reflashing cwm?

Looks like my comp us isn't working so I need to send mine back also.
[HTC Wildfire S] baconbacon:
Anyone unlock one of these? I seem to remember reading somewhere a few months back Bell (who now owns virgin) saying they will never unlock it.

However I see that there are "WWE" branded unlocks for my version, wtf?

Here is the url of the exact phone I have - http://www.virginmobile.ca/en/phones/phone-details.html?model=HTCWILD&colour=White

Please no "I unlocked my DerpCellular wfs, you can too!!" stupidity that most of these threads digress into, either you have the exact phone or not. Anyone who lives in Canada and deals with Bell will understand why this needs to be asked :mad:
[HTC Wildfire S] compro01:
Hey, another virgin canada user.

i have that exact phone (same colour too) with virgin. Mine unlocked just fine via the htcdev unlock. You just need to select the "Bell Mobility WWE" RUU when unlocking it.

unlocked and rooted. bye bye useless bell apps.

be sure to notice that the unlock does a factory reset. back your stuff (contacts!) up before you start on it.
[HTC Wildfire S] jhong88:
So when you say unlocked using the DEV tool, does that mean its network and sim unlocked? Also just curious, I have a Bell SIM card, can I use this in this phone without unlocking the network/sim?
[HTC Wildfire S] compro01:
nope, the htcdev bit only unlocks the bootloader. the sim lock and all the other bits of s-on remain in place. you'll need an xtc clip or an unlock code if you want the ditch the network shackles.

as for the virgin->bell, no idea. there seems to be conflicting information on whether bell/virgin sims are interchangeable or not. some people report it works, other report it doesn't.
[HTC Wildfire S] baconbacon:
Excellent, I was NOT expecting to be able to do this.

And now for a stupid question, what is a good way to back everything up for a quick reinstall?
[HTC Wildfire S] compro01:
AFAIK, There isn't one really, other than exporting your contacts and writing down all your apps names, as all the real useful backup methods require root.

OTOH, unless you like customizing extensively, it should only take a day or two to get things back to normal.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] HaVoK C89:
Hey guys! New here, just got my RAZR about a week ago and had a question. What exactly do I download to tether freely from USB after I root? I rooted my dinc awhile back but CM7 had the tethering included in the rom. I'm not looking to flash to another rom till the bootloader is unlocked (hopefully it will be). Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] snowrider0985:
Tethering

You can just search google wirless thether and then click the downloads and get the 10th version of the beta and that should work. Just make sure in the settings that you change the device type to droid razr.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ronin3178:
Or download Koush's new tether app that it's undetectable by carriers, if you're on Sprint then goto the clockwork website.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] evltwn72:
I have the Droid RAZR also, but I'm not rooted. I use PDAnet for my USB tethering. I have used it on all 3 of my Droids. The original Droid, the DX, and now the RAZR. No problems at all. If you are looking to tether wirelessly, try buying SQLite editor from the market. There are a few youtube videos on how to use it and remove the checks that GB goes through when its mobile hotspot is activated.

I used this method as well and had no difficulties. they provide all the step by step instructions and its really fast
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Streaker:
Anyone who could be so kind to guide me in the right direction on how to restore the searchbar? Hopefully with as little huzzle as possible.

Was fiddling around and managed to deactivate it..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Will T:
Settings > Apps > All

Scroll down to Google Search, then Enable

Hope that helps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Streaker:
Actually its not in the app list anymore. I lost predictions from SwiftKey aswell. Tried to run the googlesearch.apk from system. This fixes the SwiftKey issue, but still no searchbar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s1977:
What Will T said is correct. I can suggest that you scroll to the bottom of the 'All' apps list and you should see it there. That list is sorted with disabled apps at the bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Streaker:
OK I got it fixed now. But to clear things up if someone else encounters the same problem as me:

In the app list, google search only gave me the option to "force stop" and "remove installed updates" aswell as "remove data". I was not given the option to "enable" it again. Tried to install from system and reboot with no effect. Tried to force stop the app and then suddenly the enable option appeared. :)
[HTC Rezound] THE-COPS:
The built in music player that opens up in the center of the screen when you click a random music file.. I haven't the slightest idea what the name of that app is. It displays one of my personal images on the left side of the player. Does anyone know if this player has some sort of settings menu or if there is a way to change that image on the left? Thanks in advance. I appreciate it.
[HTC Rezound] THE-COPS:
Hmm nobody knows this? lol
[HTC Rezound] SHIDOOBY:
I'm pretty sure you're unable to change any settings via the "Music" that comes with the Rezound. It already has implemented the Beats Audio Equalizer that they think is best. If you want to adjust the settings to your own sound, you can always get winamp or poweramp.
[HTC Rezound] THE-COPS:
Ok. Thanks man. What about that pic that it uses? It was using one of my random photos in my. Downloads folder. The photo never seems to change and really, id like to see something else besides that photo lol.. I know i can delete it.. But thats besides the point. Perhaps ill just look for another music app.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
I ported a lot of music from my iTunes library to this phone, and used to have a lot of artist where I would just have one song, and so the album would be called Other. Noticed this phone hates that and that I had to go rename all those songs to a different album cause it would just start putting random pictures with random songs.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RamenBooko:
I'm usually pretty good at these things but I thought for once in my life, I would take the backseat and actually ask for some pretty simple technical help.

Details for my Note that I purchased from NewEgg.ca:

- Baseband version: N7000UBKK1

- Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-N7000UBKK2-CL705203

Can I upgrade to any of the different carrier specific ROMs (listed here)? Does it matter about which part of the world I am in (Canada in this case)?

Will there be language issues? For example, I upgrade to a German carrier ROM.

Do I need to root the phone to be able to upgrade to any ROM? Or, do I only need to root to upgrade to a specific ROM?

I assume that the baseband version (as listed in Settings > About phone) is my ROM version. Is this true? If so, where does this ROM come from.

As you can tell, I'm asking some pretty basic questions by xda-dev standards. I apologize but would greatly appreciate some answers.

Cheers!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddymatt:
You need to install clockwork mod recovery, then gain root, then you can MAKE A BACKUP and flash a ROM that looks good to you. Read read, and read again every post in every forum you go in... it'll save you a lot of trouble in the long run. As far as languages go, it may come up in a different language but you can switch it to English on the first screen. Any question you have will have already been asked in the forum you are in so use the search function to get answers before asking and getting flamed. Good luck!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RamenBooko:
You're right. I read through some hefty length threads and I have a better understanding of these things, that's for sure. To confirm my sanity, riddle me this. I don't need to root in order to upgrade to the latest stock ROM that was recently posted. Rooting simply gives me access to other features (such as titanium backup, etc).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MI310user:
yes,You're right.

We don't need root access to install and use CWM but it is required to do other most customizations,like spoofing your device's name by editing build.prop,changing font,LCD density,increasing battery life and the list goes on to other interesting stuffs :o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddymatt:
Dead on. I know there is a lot of "rooting will void your warranty" that goes on and it may be true... but out of 5 phones I have had rooted that I exchanged I never once had an issue. If your jumping on the Android train you might as well jump in head first! I came in a couple years ago with zero knowledge of this OS and studied my way through until being quite proficient. It seems like a lot now but it will become natural after awhile. Also, you can PM me with any questions you have and I promise I wont flame you... I have walked a lot of people through it.. I own a Mac/mobile device store in my town and help people all the time.

Hello Everyone,

I need help.

A few days ago I noticed that the volume buttons don’t work. So I restarted my phone and I got the white HBOOT Screen with:

GLACIER PVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.89.005

MICROP-0429

RADIO-26.11.04.03_M

eMMC-boot

Apr 14 2011,13:18:22

T-Mobile won’t help because I am out of warranty. The phone charges and turns ON. That's about it. Nothing else.

After doing some research I copied the PD15IMG.zip on my SD card and the phone recognized it. On the first screen I get:

SD Checking…

Loading ... [PD15DIAG.zip]

No Image!

Loading ... [PD15DIAG.nbh]

No Image or Wrong Image!

Loading ... [PD15IMG.zip]

with the blue bar at the top right loading

The next screen is “Checking .. (PD15IMG.zip)” with a gold bar at the top right. After this screen the phone gets stuck on this:

HBOOT

Parsing…(SD ZIP)

(1) BOOTLOADER

(2) BOOT

(3) RECOVERY

(4) SYSTEM

(5) SPLASH1

(6) USERDATA

(7) TP

(8) TP

(9) RADIO_V2

(10) RADIO_CUST

Would defective volume buttons make my phone freeze like this or is the other way around?

What can I can do to fix my phone?

Thanks,
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morenov2000:
Does anybody have any advice?

I don't know ADB but would that be any help?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
If both volume buttons are stuck, funny things may happen - because after the "checking", bootloader should ask you to apply or reject update, and you're supposed to react with VolDown / VolUp.

So the problem you're seeing might be one of these funny things. But it might not.

ADB has nothing to do with bootloader, it runs when the OS is up.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morenov2000:
Thanks for the reply.

Does it look like I really have a defective volume button or is this just a software freeze?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Dedicated and simple software like bootloader wouldn't freeze without good reasons. Most likely - either it's because of your buttons, or because of your HW.
