[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Here's a fastboot boot image that loads openrecovery without touching /system. Using this you can get into OpenRecovery and poke around without modifying the phone's software at all.

So for example you can get into OpenRecovery after flashing a stock ROM without rooting and without installing the openrecovery bootstrap. (You still need to put the relevant parts of OpenRecovery on the sdcard). Basically after flashing a stock ROM you can:

1) Enable USB Debugging

2) adb reboot bootloader

3) fastboot boot openrecovery-fastboot.img

and boom, you're in OpenRecovery. Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to get to fastboot without a fully working system.

Anyway, this allows you to get into OpenRecovery without rooting and without installing the OpenRecovery bootstrap. adb is active so you can go in and yank a pristine /system partition image using for example dump_image system /sdcard/system.img that could then be put into an sbf.

Also, there is a replacement for /sdcard/OpenRecovery/lib/modules/2.6.29/part-STR.ko that adds read-only mtd entries for the missing partitions. The source for the kernel module is on github https://github.com/CyanogenModXT720/xt720_modules_eclair/tree/master/mtdhack

After you update part-STR.ko and reboot into openrecovery you will have these mtd devices:

# cat /proc/mtd

Often nandroid dumps are not sufficient for rebuilding sbf's (esp of /system, /cache, /data). For the most part, you need to use the dump_image command to get an exact binary dump to preserve motorola's signatures. You can use this to yank other partitions that are needed to create an sbf. For example to dump the bpsw, you would boot into OpenRecovery and then access the phone via adb:

cd /sdcard
dump_image bpsw bpsw.img

This would create /sdcard/bpsw.img that could then be used to reassemble an sbf. The /system partition is difficult because rooting and installing the openrecovery bootstrap modifies its content. You must use the fastboot openrecovery on a not-rooted phone to get a copy of system.img that is suitable for creating a sbf. /data and /cache aren't really needed to reconstruct an sbf.

Happy hacking!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] xtwister6:
This is good news! Now the devs can create SBFs instead of people loading a stock sbf and then doing updates/nandroids. Awesome stuff.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Unfortunately, not. You'd still use nandroid or update once inside OpenRecovery. Things flashed via sbf must be signed by Motorola. Some parts of sbfs are checked each and every reboot (boot.img, bpsw.img, devtree.img, cdt.img, bootloaders etc) and some are only checked during the very first reboot after flashing (system.img, cdrom.img, cust.img -- these ones are processed by the bootloaders and information about them is stored in the sp partition).

What this does allow us to do is possibly build missing sbfs if we have access to a phone running it's stock software. It also makes the process of rooting from stock possibly a smidgen easier (depending on how difficult adb/fastboot is compared to UniversalAndroot for 2.1 or whatever is used on 2.2).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
Nice work MZ. You have been putting in the hours here lately clearing up a lot of questions. Keep it up and let me know if you need me to test anything. I am in the process of getting another XT so when I do, I'll let you know.

You guide me (in a Mike Meyers voice).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] dateno1:
it my recovery flasher :D

Caution : it is only for DEV

you must install 2nd-init type recovery and backup PDS partition and reflash SBF or your original recovery partition after using you want (sometime it broken PDS partion at nandroid recovery!)

mkdir /pds
mount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /pds
cd /pds
tar cvzf /sdcard/pds.tar.gz *
cd /
fuser -k /dev/block/mtdblock0
umount /pds
rm -R /pds

it include recovery partition from korean 39R

it will allow OTA(from update.zip) type recovery and backup almost partition and something :D

The phone needs to calibrate the battery. Let it work for a few days, don't charge it unless the battery is below 5% and let it charge up to 95% or more. After a few days it should work just fine.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] 29988122:
This is the most weird problem I've ever met.

ROM: CM7 N2 (.35 kernel new baseband)

CWM:5.0.2.0

At first, because I encountered Market FC problem, and as everyone suggested in the thread that I should fix permissions via rom manager/CWM recovery.

Thus I chose that option in recovery. After that, I reboot, but it hang at the logo. I then boot again and found that ALL MY SETTINGS BECAME DEFAULT, they all GONE(both user apps and system settings).

But all the Link2sd apps still there, and some of them can be executed. It's very strange, because if ext partition mounted well, then the settings should be there too......So I tried to enter /data via Rootexplorer , but it showed that nothing inside.(due to the fix permission IMO)

And I'm unable to use rom manager to upgrade my cwm, because the SU didnt let me do that. I've adjusted the settings, but SU app keep denied rom manager's request(IMO another issue caused by fix permission).

What should I do now? The latest backup is 1 week ago, and I've made some important changes within this week.(unable to re-do them again after restore, some REAL LIFE things)

:( Really need help right now

EDIT: SMSs and call logs are all gone, although I have a gmail backup, but still lost 20+ messages ....

after updating my titan to 8107 the thing that manifested itself was the drastic reduction in battery life.i was getting 2 days easy out of the battery. tried shutting off wifi,bluetooth locations etc to no avail.reset etc nothing worked.after a full recharge i unplugged the phone tonight and it said 15 hours life left on a 100% battery.restored the phone to 7740 and immediately with the wifi back on etc i had 1 day 13 hours battery life left.the two things i noticed that i can do on 7740 i can't do on 8107 is turn off 3g and i live in an area of no 3g and the find my phone is disconected so i'll be sticking with 7740.

[Windows Phone 7 General] stevov:
I appreciate you probably live in a 3g area which means your phone is not constantly looking for something that isn't there, but where I am in rural Scotland I only have 2g but atleast I now get 48hrs battery life again.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Do a hard reset. I have a Quantum, and after Mango the battery life was horrid. However last week I did a hard reset, and I'm back to showing 1 day 4 hours, etc on a full charge. And can now generally get through a day without having to charge my phone at work.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DJBlaster-303:
i noticed a reduction on battery too,mine says 18 hours just unplugged from fully charged, i'll try hard reset thing

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

after hard reset it says 1 day and 7 hours battery!! I hope it's true
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
do you guys realize that the time is just an average based on your use? If you hard reset, it gets reset. Doesn't effect how long it will last though. If you use your phone and play lots of games the 1st day and drain it, it will say 11 hours next time you charge it. But if you don't use it much the next it will say 13 or 14. it could last 18 or 2 days. It is showing what the estimated average based on your usage will be. Mine says 14 hours. Sometimes during the day it drops to 9 if i play a few games. then after it sits for a few hours it may say 17. After about 3 weeks or so though it gives you a true average based on how you usually use the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Source?

I know if you're running music or streaming and you check it, the number changes. I figured it was based on what is in the memory or based on what's been happening just before you checked.

I do know that since my hard reset I'm getting longer battery life. Feels like 30% more.

I don't understand why they would compute all these useage averages, instead of just a true estimate as to how much power is left. What would be the benefit?
[Windows Phone 7 General] slimshady322:
I always had the impression that the number of remaining hours is true if I continue to use the phone as I am doing right now. So when I am playing a game and it says 2 hours remaining and I stop playing the game and lock the screen, after two hours the phone will still have battery left etc.

Instead of a hard reset you can also try to run your battery completly empty and then charge it again to 100% to recalibrate it. I think recalibration of the battery has been helpful in the past after updates.
[Windows Phone 7 General] link68759:
HTC Titan, updated from 7740 to 8107. I averaged 1 day of battery life with 7740, ever since updating and hard resetting, I now average 2.5 days. The problem is not with 8107, the problem is with your device stevov.
[Windows Phone 7 General] stevov:
sorry mate as i explained on the other thread he device works fine.8107 is eating the battery due to the settings restrictions. phone works sweet as on 7740 and has never displayed any of the problems that the us titans have.phone works brilliant on 8107 also. just eats the battery. just incase you missed it i don't get 3g or edge where i am.
[Windows Phone 7 General] link68759:
OK let's just continue this here (lol)

Your real issue is that you need to be able to turn off 3G, correct? It's 3G searching for a signal that kills your battery, not 8107. If your 3G toggle is missing after you update, see if you can use provxml on your device and apply the reg tweak for showing the 3G toggle option, then turn 3G off.

Here's the thread with the registry tweaks

thanks for the replies guys. as someone who was just getting to grips with reg edit on my touchpro2 from what i've seen so far reg edit on 7.5 is not quite the same. i'm content in my own mind as to the cause and i'm happy with 7740.maybe the issue will get addressed down the line.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
Stevov mate, the issue isn't with 8107. If your phone, any phone, any OS, any update - is going to keep looking for 3g or keep jumping between 2g/3g it keeps radio active, using up battery. You either need to just choose 2g, if you can or move to a 3g area (that's not happening, is it?). But if 7740 makes that radio a little calmer for you, perhaps its a placebo effect?
[Windows Phone 7 General] stevov:

He is right. I don't have a source but I've followed my battery status very carefully and came to the same conclusion. I have a friend with an LG C900 and he doesn't use data connection (which is what drains battery the most) and his estimated battery is 4 days and a few hours.

[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
Yeah I haven't found documentation on this but as said above, if you follow your battery status you will see. Use the phone hard, check battery, it will say left. Let it sit for an hour, and it will say more. Now as the e

Weeks do by it will average out and not fluctuate as much. ( mine now usually says 13-14 hours on work days and 17 on weekends)
[Windows Phone 7 General] ScottSUmmers:
Interesting. I'm gonna have to check that out. But that's kind of odd, shouldn't it be the reverse? So like if you used your phone hard shouldn't it be optimizing itself so that you'll have more reserve versus the days you use the phone less?

I've had my Galaxy nexus for slightly over a month now and it had been great! No problems, perfect screen (at least i dont detect anything) But as of late, problems began to show one after another. The problems includes the "appear to be charging when not plugged in" problem, when charging, the touch screen doesn't work (registers random touches) but most importantly, an heating problem.

Typically, if i was in the middle of an app or using my camera, i'd be fine with the heat. However, i noticed my problem when i am walking down the street with the phone in my jacket pocket listening to music. I felt the heat through my jacket pocket! I have a habit of using my task manager to stop all ongoing task everytime i use my phone so all that is on is hte music app.

Any1 else has this problem or know how to solve it? Is it an hardware issue where i should contact samsung for my warranty?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Craiq:
there is a touchscreen bug, but not this one. the other can be undo by switch in standby and back again.

the other problems look like app/rom problems. maybe u have an app installed that runs in background and cant be killed easily be kick the app out of the taskmanager.

The thing is the whole bolt symbol while not charging thing is keeping my screen on. I have uninstalled all apps i've installed as of late. The only apps i have left are lightbox, facebook, skype, windup knight, and angry birds.

Also, another problem i have is mobile data. I switched it off because i dont have a data plan but every now and then, it'll automatically switch itself back on. Is that normal?

I am currently using stock rom (i've haven't decided if i know my GN enough to need a custom yet)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Craiq:
there is a developer option that keeps your screen on while charging. try to toggle that.

and no its not normal that it ll automatically switch on. for this the apps needs special permission you can find in security/deviceadministration (hope name translation is correct ^^)

[HTC Titan] pjodm:
I found the real problem with signal issues of the HTC Titan.

I have 2 HTC Titan

I bought a second HTC Titan from AT&T for a penny & I thought of trying the back cover on my first Titan.

The results are astonishing. The back cover was all that was wrong on my device. With the second Titan I purchased from AT&T on the Web, there is no problem with the sigral.

I have now ordered a new cover from Ebay & will try to get a replacement from HTC for my original cover that was defective.

I really think there was a bad batch of those back covers for this Titan & we where the unlucky ones to get them.

If you know someone that has no issues with his Titan, try his back cover on your phone.

Hope this help someone.

[HTC Titan] drokkon:
How can you tell the difference between covers?
[HTC Titan] uiqjirka:
Photo please..
[HTC Titan] pjodm:
There is no difference at all between the covers that I have. The only thing I can figure out is that the contacts tabs on the inside of the covers that does not work, do not make a contact with the antenna that is embedded in the bothom plastic of the cover.

I do not know if the WiFi problem is related to this, (as I think the WiFi antenna is located in an other place on the cover) but for me the slow download speed I was getting before I change the cover, & the low signal or no signal was directly ralated to the lack of good antenna.

In order to come up with this solution, I went great lengths in order to find the right tab that was the antenna. I even install a temporary antenna (See immage) on the outside of the thone & I was getting better signal.

:)But after receiving my second Titan from AT&T online order I tried the cover from that secont Titan & Voila !! Very good service & signal.:o

Hope this help.
