[Motorola Droid Bionic] kylebennett6:
Hey guys, I'm having a bit of an issue after using the method described in dhacker's post at MyDroidWorld (xda won't let me post the outside link since I'm a noob). After rebooting after installing the update, my phone seems to be trying to download an update. I will randomly get a pop-up box titled "Info" that says "Download of update failed." When I go to settings>about phone>system updates, I will get the message "An update is currently being downloaded. You will be notified when the download is complete."

Obviously, this is annoying and it suggests my phone is trying to do something in the background. Any fix for this yet?

I went and deleted all the Blur update zips from my sd card and external sd card. I searched my system using ES File Explorer and couldn't find anything that would suggest prompting an update. I also cleared the data from several running apps such as Updater, Download Manager, FOTA, and Market. Nothing seems to work.

I just booted into recovery and wiped the cache...we'll see if that works.

Update:

Wiping the cache did not work.

Other helpful info:

Prior to updating to 902, I was on 893, rooted using dhacker's forever root, stock rom. I used his method in the link above to revert back to stock 893 and then re-rooted. Applied the Voodoo Protect Root, updated in Recovery from sdcard, rebooted, and then restored root.

Now I'm getting this constant "Download of update failed". I want to just tell my phone, "Dude, I don't need the update. I got it already. Thanks."

Any advice? Thanks in advance, y'all.

First, I would recommend posting your question in the thread you mentioned since it is specific to that tool.

I'll try to help but can't promise anything. What system and baseband versions do you have? (Settings-> About phone)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kylebennett6:
Thanks for the reply, tuck. I posted it there as well. No replies yet. But to answer your question, I'm running 5.9.902.XT875.Verizon.en.US, Android Version 2.3.4, Baseband Version CDMA_N_04.07.00R LTEDC_U_07.1F.00

Thanks, in advance.

Do you have all of your stuff backed up? Maybe your best option would be to run the 902 fxz files in RSDlite and reroot. Here is a link: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13485-unbrick-your-bionic-here-windowsmaclinux-support/

You will find the 902 fxz files, the 902 edited xml (to keep your internal sdcard data), and the new root exploit for 902 by djrbliss. Also, Timmy10shoes will be more than happy to answer any questions. Actually ask him first and see what he says.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kylebennett6:
I posted over at Rootzwiki...I'll keep y'all informed if we get anywhere. Thanks for the advice, eye. :)

I finally got to try out the Eclipse 2.1 ROM, and it installed with no problems. Even though I want to see how it performs, is it too early to think of changing to an ICS ROM?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tucknology:
I apologize for the slow turn-around. I've been with family. Gotta take care of numero uno.

Seems like both those versions are correct. Your situation is weird.

One thing I've heard elsewhere is that you can find the APK in \system\app that handles the updates. I'm sorry I don't know the name off hand, but it's probably obvious. Rename it by adding .bak to the end (safer than deleting it) and then reboot. You'll need root and some kind of file manager tool (I use one called "file manager" free in the market) to do this.

Keep us posted on your progress!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tucknology:
Hi Ronald! Eclipse is awesome. ICS is also very cool, but it is currently still a work in progress. It is a little more tricky to install (read up), and some things (e.g. the camera) still don't work. Check dhacker29's twitter for daily updates. My general recommendation right now is to stick to Eclipse if you need a reliable workhorse of a phone, and ICS is cool to play around with for fun.

I also recommend donating to dhacker29 and hashcode (hashcode0f) who are working really hard to make ICS happen. $ is motivating.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ronaldheld:
Thanks for the info. Will the ICS ROMs eventually come as one .zip file?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tucknology:
Haha I don't have a crystal ball but I'd say there's a good chance. Right now there're 2 zip files, it's not so terrible! You also need to toggle the radio to make it work. There are instructions in the official post on mydroidworld.

Remember that 2 developers are doing the work that an entire company should be doing. And, they're doing it better than said company. So cut them some slack and some patience. Compared to the amount of work they've invested, flashing an extra zip is nothing!

Stay tuned to dhacker's twitter and send them some ca$h!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cdu13:
I'm updated to 902. I followed your guide and made it to step 18. When I try to toggle the safe system it goes through and comes up with a data error and won't turn the safe system on.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tucknology:
Do you have enough free space on your internal storage? Recommend at least 2GB or more.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cdu13:
I have 5GB on my internal.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] therealjohnmark:
recommendations for .886--->.902 ?

I am on stock .886 with forever root, no other mods. Official System Updates says "Try again later." Should I try to apply the original .886->.893 patch and then follow this post? (I would do that now if I could find old instructions that I still trust) Or should I try the .893->.902 method since I am still on Stock? Thanks.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cdu13:
I rooted the phone. Ran root check and it showed rooted. Made to step 18 and got an backup data error. Wouldn't toggle into safe mode. Did the reboot system. Rebooted to a blank screen for over an hour. Pulled the battery and it restarted. It took me to the choose a language screen and I had to reset up the phone. Tried it again and the same thing has happened. It says I still have root but can't toggle the safe mode. I have 5MB on my internal memory free. Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tucknology:
Hey cdu13, I'm sorry for the slow response, and I regret that you are having problems. I'd recommend contacting hashcode, the maker of safestrap. He's aware that there are occasional glitches, and your experience could be valuable for making improvements. Be sure to be polite, he's a busy dude (you seem nice enough to me...). There is a link to his website in the OP.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tucknology:
You can't use 893->902 method because you are on 886. If you can't do the over-the-air update, see if you can find the 886->893 update in the forums. Follow the same basic steps for applying the update, then go from 893->902.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kylebennett6:
Calendar Data

Hey guys,

Just got my phone updated to 902 and rooted using the Root Exploit found on Rootzwiki (big ups to timmy10shoes!)...question though.

Anyone know if I can restore my calendar data via Titanium Backup? I opened the calendar and have somehow lost a bunch of my recurring reminders and appointments and I'm not sure why. I thought that data was backed up to the Google cloud? My phone was wiped in this process so did that do it? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

[Motorola Droid Bionic] dburger66:
?

Ok, I have two questions. #1 and most pressing, after upgrading to 902 and rooting I can no longer boot into recovery. I am using ROM manager, when I choose the "reboot into recovery" option the phone just reboots. If I try to use stock recovery I just get the little android dude standing in front of a triangle with a exclamation point. #2, are there any ROMS that will work with the 902 upgrade? If not I guess my question #1 isn't so pressing! Thanks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iNsAnEmOd:
Answer to Question 1

Did you install Bionic BootStrap? If not, you need it.

Answer to Question 2

KIn3tx .901 compatible fix , Eclipse 2.1, and Liberty will work.

I'll put up links later

MIUI
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dburger66:
What about safestrap? The directions say not to have both @ the same time? Thanks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tucknology:
Right. You need one or the other. If you had safestrap before, but lost it, just download the safestrap APK (see OP for link) and then click the "Install Recovery" button.

Safestrap has the occasional bug (see posts above) but overall I think its a better option than Bionic Bootstrap because you get that extra layer of safety.

Regarding 902 compatible apps, they are addressed in the OP.

Wrong place for a QUESTION. Look in the Bible and there are plenty of odin flashable ROMS as well as a kernel to gain root. Hope I don't come off as offensive it's just a lot of people here are getting tired of this type of stuff(me included).

EDITED TO ADD

Man there are THREE ODIN flashable roms on the front page of the dev section right NOW. LOOK before you post.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
He's the mod so he's making sure you did

Anyways if your on GB and you want to use Odin why not flash a Dr Honk kernel you will get Cwm/ root and voodoo lagfix and ext4 aat the same time! Lol then you can flash the rom of your choice.

You can also use superoneclick 2.2 if all you want is root.

I am using the Trident Aegis on my G2x and it doesn't have the OEM back cover, and it fits just fine, If your that worried about the battery coming loose, use a small piece of masking tape to hold it in place, the case will do the rest. I have been running this way for 3-4 months with no issues

I was unable to find any other threads with this issue for the SGS2 Sorry if I missed one.

After rooting my SGS2(ATT Version) Yesterday I am having an issue where WiFi only stays on for about 30 seconds after I turn it on. After looking into the settings I noticed there is no MAC Address. I am assuming this is why it is not working? Does anoyone know if there is a way I can manually enter in a MAC address or find the original? Am I going to have to reflash back to the Stock ROM?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicregi:
Hi there. I experienced the same issue with you last week and here are the methods. I am assuming that when you press *#06#, there will be no IMEI. This happens when you often flash (chance of happening is very low though)

1. EFS backup

Do you have EFS backup? If you have, you can restore it via ktool and you should be fine.

2. Modem

Download the modem file and flash via Odin. See if this works.

3. Stock

If #2 don't work, try flash back stock. Flash back everything to stock.

4. If that doesn't work, this is the last option.

Copy all the EFS file you can find on your phone and move to your laptop.

Factory reset, wipe all data.

Install back stock ROM everything.

Root it and install Terminal Emulator.

Move back all the EFS files back to your phone.

Open Terminal Emulator and type this:

su

umount /efs

mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /efs

busybox tar zxvf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar.gz -C /

Now, if this goes through, you will be fine and IMEI will be back. If not, you need to send back to service centre.

For my case, my EFS backup was 'corrupted' which the last method works for me.

Hope this helps!

Lol, that's peanuts in comparison to getting a red card for your goalkeeper. You can't put a regular player in the goal, you can't replace a regular player with a goalie, and of course you can't replace the expelled goalie with your substitute one.

The solution? You just continue, and it errors out.

How much would have it cost to set a flag that when the goalie is out, you can replace him with a field player? Why can't you put a goalie as a field player in the first place?

Poor programming, I tell you.
