[Atrix 4G Android Development] Climber Ty:
I'll make sure to get some photos up soon of the whole operation.

Anyway I managed to get a Dev Cable built to successfully re-flash firmware to the Atrix. I actually bricked my phone three times and instantly was able to re-flash to 1.8.3 and higher.

So first off I found a previous post on another form about making a dev cable and noticed all you need to do is run a wire from the 1 pin (which is 5V) to the 4 pin (which has nothing attached to it).

Micro USB pin diagram here:

http://www.kineteka.com/microusb-b.aspx

It seemed simple enough, but in reality it is a slight pain to get inside the injected plastic to get to the pins. Basically what I ended up doing (and I'll get pictures up here soon) is cut into the USB cable about 2 inches behind the micro USB plug to make the red wire (5V) accessible. Next I cut off the plastic shielding around the micro USB and slowly pried away the metal clips. The important part here is to not break off the tip of the USB cable that is used to secure the cable to the phone.

Now the hard part… if the plastic is clear then your work is cut out for you and you can just melt the plastic to the 4 pin connector and solder. If it’s not, then you have to do some careful exploring, the best option I have found is to melt the plastic to find the 4 pin. Cutting away the plastic also helps but caution you might cut into the wrong area and sever a wire (I did this twice already). Next step is to clean and solder a wire to the 4 pin connector; I used the wire from a butchered USB cable from this project, make sure the wire is long enough to allow for errors.

Finally run the wire back to the first cut in the USB cable and solder or use heat shrink tubing to bind the Red Wire (5V) to the jumper wire that runs from the 4 pin connector on the micro usb.

With a little luck it should work!

My soldering is not that great and one out of the two cables I made worked.

If you have any questions, ask!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Savant:
Buying one would be the perfect from you or ebay. I can't believe you bricked your phone that many times.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Savant:
Thanks man. That would be much appreciated. Before I do send my info do you reside in the continental US?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] omni_angel7:
Is this not the same thing people were doing months ago to get USB host support? I made your same "dev" cable using an OTG cable and doing the soldering you did to the pins on your cable instead to the inside of a cheap USB hub. This made wire stripping and melting altogether unnecessary.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Climber Ty:
Sure I don't see how it couldn't be used like that. I just did this because I had a few extra micro USB cables laying around and one bricked phone. Mostly I wanted to see if this would work... I did notice just now (at the time I just wanted to show the diagram) that the link I posted to the USB diagram actually just has the micro USB connector as a part. Which in all reality is somewhat easier since all you need is the 4 wires from a cut USB cable and a jumper wire from pin 1 to pin 4 and then shrink tube from there.

But I worked with what I had at the time and it functions.

I don't think any hardbricking has been saved here...

What you had was soft bricking.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Climber Ty:
I didn't mention hard bricking, just bricking in general. I have another phone that has the

0x1000
Entering NVFlash recovery mode
Battery is too low to flash

that shows for three seconds and then the screen goes blank. From what I understand that is more of a hardbrick.

I'll try it on that and see if I have success.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Alaq:
This! Can it force my phone into RSD or Fastboot mode when it's hardbricked?

I think that's a soft brick, but the battery is too low to flash so your gonna need a charged battery...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ltdanno360:
x0001 failed to boot is a HARD brick
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Savant:
You have the numbers reversed anything that says failed to boot x1000 is a hard brick and apparently motorola doesn't fix them they usually give a refurbished phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Climber Ty:
Agree the I pulled out the phone that had a backwards firmware flash to 1.8.3 (the failed to boot 0x1000 one) and so far no luck on being able to get the NVFlash to stay up longer than a few seconds. I'll look into a few more options maybe I'll find out how to do this JTAG fix rumor that I see floating around on these forums. I know it's chasing ghosts through concrete walls, but I have the time/hardware to do it.

I am running latest CM7 nightly on my HTC Desire GSM. However, as I listen to some music, I'd like to listen to the full sound potential on it.

I found Matr1x kernel for Nexus, but installing it rendered my Desire unbootable.

Is there a Matr1x kernel for Desire?

If not, what would be my best choice for such a kernel?
[Desire General] theyau:
Try them all
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
What do you mean with "full sound potential"?

Sent from dGB with Transparent XDA App
[Desire General] impactor:
Try them all? So far I found no kernel working on Desire.

All I know is I read people who listen to music on their phones say the quality is way superior when using a kernel with built-in VooDoo.

Voodoo is only on the galaxy s, nexus s and galaxy s2
[Desire General] impactor:
Isn't Nexus a Desire in disguise?
[Desire General] Neleor:
Nexus One is like the HTC Desire, Nexus S is like the Samsung Galaxy S
[Desire General] impactor:
And why is there no Voodoo for Desire? Does it have sufficient sound quality already, or just no one can be bothered?
[Desire General] mlerota:
Can you explain why this kernel have better sound than that on CM7? I am really interested in this topic.

[Android General] madtowner11:
Here's another cross post from General/General (don't worry, I'll clean up after myself).

Here's a cross post from the Mesmerize thread where I'm not having any luck:

I have a 2.2.1 (rooted) Mesmerize and I can't get it to recognize anything plugged into the Samsung Micro USB to USB Adapter I just bought.

The phone is set to "Mass Storage" for USB and I've tried both USB Debugging on and off.

I can't get it to recognize any of 5 thumb drives that I've tried connecting to it. So either it's a bad cable, or something else in the phone is preventing the connection. Help, please!

EDIT: I'm possibly naive in assuming that this (reading a USB thumb drive from the phone) will work at all, but since they (Samsung) sell the cable and tout it as being capable of it, I must just be missing something such as a setting or the necessary version of Android or a wonderful hack from this group.
[Android General] Kueh:
You are looking for something called USB hosting. It is a nice feature that hasn't been implemented on many devices.

It would be nice, but you would need an intermediate usb adapter that supplies power to the thumbdrive, as I doubt that the phone is capable of supplying power for very long.

After a bunch of poking around, I manage to find the live wallpapers and clock from the original ICS unveiling in Hong Kong!

They install on our ICS build just fine. The bubbles live wallpaper is awesome and the Phase Beam is not the recreation found in the market (though so far it is only the background without the floating circles and lines).

Anyway, if anybody else comes across any ICS stuff not included in our build, share it here.

what is the Phase beam supposed to do? it doesn't do anything

And I'm still confused.

There's so much old info out there, so many different versions of the same phone, and so many new words I'm not used to, I just can't find the right set of instructions that I need for my phone. All I want to do, is a simple root, and get those stupid freeloading apps that "S" pre-installs off of my phone; I want maps and telenav to stop starting automatically on bootup; I want my battery to fully charge, and I want my mobile hot-spot! I don't want special roms (I'm only 95% certain I know what they are), or anything else special for that matter. Just access to fix my phone so it's not completely useless and constantly rebooting the home screen due to lack of ram.

Here's my stats:

Android version:

2.3.3

Baseband version:

2.15.00.0808

Build number & Software number:

4.54.651.1

If you need any more info, I'll happily post it.

Once rooted you can install another recovery (amon ra) or just use clockwork which revolutionary offers to install. Perform a backup in recovery and reboot your phone.

Get titanium backup and you can start removing the apps you want.
