Its not bricked if it turns on! And you don't have to wipe 3 times... only 1 time each on all 3 things! Update your cwm and try to flash again, if that doesn't work odin to stock and start over... this time don't use an old version of cwm use the newest (5.0.2.7)
[Epic 4G General] wscott9903:
here is a link for qbking77 with a tutorial for ODINing back to stock...

the links for the software are under the video.

hope this helps.

bigron is da man and can help u, but if you want to play more with ur phone, BigRon might be with one of his "Honies" and you can't disturb da playa.
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
Just so you know, bricked isn't unfixabe... I have unbricked a couple epics... it involves a jig and hooking directly to the motherboard... kinda complicated but doable... so no a brick is not unfixable...
[Epic 4G General] K3VlN:
I always heard it was good to know that there is a way to fix it thanks for the info :D

That's the file you'll have to use with Odin to flash your phone back to stock 2.2. That file will go in the PDA slot of Odin. Don't bother with a PIT or repartitioning (probably not needed in your case).

Once you boot with stock 2.2, let the phone OTA to EI22 and EL30 to get to stock gingerbread with the updated modem. From there you can start the root/rom flash process again.

Thank you all for your help. Man, you guys are awesome! I'm going to try to reload stock using Odin this evening. If I'm unable to do this, I'm going to get Biggoron to help me via teamviewer.

Thank you all again. It seems that the only way I'm able to learn about things is by breaking them.
[Epic 4G General] wscott9903:
Dont sweat that... most of it is all through trial and error. Truthfully, that's how I really got to know my phone better and the stuff I can do w/ it. That and this community. That's why trying a new rom isn't no big thing. If it doesn't take... it doesn't take. That's why we have "nandroid backup" and in "bad" situations, we have ODIN...

Welcome to the Sponge club and also the halls of Asgard to visit Odin or heimdall. :)
[Epic 4G General] ajt167:
It worked!

I was able to successfully set my phone back to stock 2.2 and just received the OTA updates.

Before I left work last night, my wife called and told me that I locked the cat in the office the night before and she chewed up the USB cable for the phone (I'm so "internet"). I stopped at the Sprint store on the way home and got a new USB cable. I was using Odin for the process, following the video, using my new cable, and Odin couldn't see my phone. The guy in the video was completely right about Sprint/Samsung cables being crap. The chewed cable was originally from a Blackberry. I tried the chewed cable, having to hold it stretched out and tilted to the left, and Odin saw my phone. It went smoothly from there, though my arm got a bit sore.

When I get a chance within the next few days, I'm going to root and try again to install Legendary.

You guys are fantastic. Thank you all for your help. It's obvious that the people here know a lot about this stuff, but it's especially great that you're able to explain this stuff to people who don't know much at all. That's a talent.
[Epic 4G General] luna_c666:
Replace that cable ASAP, if you had lost connection in the middle of Odin'ing to stock you could have really bricked your phone! You might need to use Odin again soon..when learning my phone I had to Odin to stock probably 15 times, especially when you start flashing between MTD and BML ROMs (if you don't know what that is, just keep reading on here you will figure it out soon) ;)
[Epic 4G General] ajt167:
I have a good cable that I'm planning on using, I just left it at work last night. I'll read up on those types of ROMs. Thank you.
[Epic 4G General] ajt167:
I've successfully flashed the Legendary ROM. It's working really well. Now I just have to figure out how to turn off the annoying notification that a system update is available (I'm sure I can find the method here). Thanks again to everyone for the help.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
You have to accept it it will fail to install and it will boot you into cwm then just reboot and you'll be fine the method is in general ;)

Hi all!

Sometimes, when I switch from a Landscape app (a Video or a Web Page, for example) to the Sense desktop the sense widgets start to look like like streched, but specialy the Sense clock looks like the landscape sense clock of the Desire Z (for example), it's like the whole Sense want to go Landscape, but something is forcing it :confused:

Does this happens to anyone here or is a bug of my phone? there's any way to put the sense desktop in Landscape?

PD: If you don't understand me just look at the clock on the screnshot I attached
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asovse1:
That's an occasional problem with the Froyo Sense ROM, I have it too!

There is no known way to auto-rotate Sense's launcher. I don't know if some internal files were meant to be hidden, applied to the HTC Legend, or is just there for all Froyo Sense phones at the time of release, but you can interpret that our Legends might have been planned to accomodate a slide-out keyboard, as well as a WiMAX radio.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] apavoratiago:
Hello everybody,

I know that the scene is working really hard making and porting ROMS for the NT, now that CM7 (ALPHA) is out... I'm curious if is a CHANCE or light in the future to use a micro USB/HDMI output to be able to connect the tablet to a HD TV using MHL.

PS: Is the CM7 KERNEL capable of mounting or recognize keyboards, gamepads etc etc with micro USB port.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Gwindli:
I'm pretty sure that video output would require some hardware support, soas far as I know that won't be possible.

I don't know about using the USB for external devices, but if they ever figure out the "magic number" it should be possible via Bluetooth.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] daedricgeek:
MHL is pretty cool .But AFAIK Nook does not have a HDMI out function. B&N would've advertised the **** out of this feature , coz it would have been a great advertising feature .IIRC most 7" tabs lack video output .

USB OTG has not been described as a feature and seems very unlikely .

If the bluetooth module (present but disabled) is unlocked and drivers installed , then BT keyboards, gamepads possible in the distant future .

Hav fun :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheMistyMay:
Hey y'all,

So I have Unnamed installed (currently v2.2.1), and have for a while. Every once and a while, hitting the power button (to wake up or sleep the phone, for example) will also toggle mute/unmute. Unfortunately, I am unable to replicate it consistently. It has persisted through upgrades of Unnamed. I have been using Unnamed since v1.0. Does anyone have any insight? I have searched for an answer but found nothing.

I have tried a few things on my own before posting:

Trying to make sure I'm not hitting another button

Full Wipe and reflash (With and without replacing data)

I have not tried:

Another ROM or back to stock to see if behavior continues

BTW: Long time user of the forum, first time posting. :) Great community, always helpful! As a fellow developer/techie (not Android) I really appreciate the hard work people put in here!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
I hadn't heard of this issue. Perhaps it's a bad download? Or kernel related (if you've done anything with the kernel)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheMistyMay:
Originally. I also messed with the voltages however after experiencing this issue reverted back during reflash.
[Motorola Droid X2] kalojado:
So hey all, I am new here so bear with me. I have been on Android for about a year and am finally ready to root and run a rom. Started out with a Samsung Fascinate which got traded for a Droid X and that got replaced with a Droid X2. Having some small issues with the DX2, and since I need to factory reset I figured I would go ahead and try to root and run a rom...

So my question is being a complete noob would I be better with CM7 or Miui. Originally on the DX I looked into Miui and really liked how it looked and really wanted it and did a lot of research on it, but before I could try it I had to send back my DX and they replaced it with a brand new DX2 in the box. Then looking into it I noticed that Miui was not available for the DX2, so I just gave up and stayed put.

Recently reading thru the forums I see Miui is available now for the DX2, but I also was looking into CM7 which also looks really nice. I was wondering would either of them be easier for a noob? (i.e. install and post install customization) I have read up on both not having functional FM radio and HDMI, which are not big deals because I rarely use either... but are there any other big problems with either of these roms that would make a noobie like myself steer clear from them and is one of them faster than the other? I also looked into eclipse and not sure if that is something I should consider. Are there any major issues with eclipse and is it more stable than the other two? Honestly right now I am just trying to figure out where to start. I want to do something, but also want the easiest route so that I do not brick my phone as my wife would probably kill me, haha.

There is just so much info out there, I really don't know where to start. I know you guys probably get these questions all the time, but I could not find a specific thread that talked about just these two (or three) roms specifically for the DX2. I have been trying for the past month or two to research this stuff, and I have learned a lot, but I need a little help to push me in the right direction...

Oh, and if you couldn't guess I am on stock GB 2.3.4 unrooted...
[Motorola Droid X2] Jubomime:
Eclipse is the most stable. Cm7 and miui are both betas and not everything works.. Cm7 is good for speed, and miui for crazy customization options.
[Motorola Droid X2] kalojado:
Can I ask if you were just starting out and never messed with any roms before, which one would you choose out of the three?
[Motorola Droid X2] theredvendetta:
Eclipse is likely the most stable, with CM7 following closely behind. MIUI is still in alpha. I haven't tried MIUI yet, but I've read people are having problems. For installing, they should all follow the same process.

Woops, accidentally clicked thank on your post. Oh well lol
[Motorola Droid X2] Jubomime:
Definitely recommend eclipse for starting out.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Well Eclipse is currently based on Android 2.3.5, which means if you decided on that ROM, you would have to update to 2.3.5 then flash the ROM. Then if you ever wanted to switch to a different ROM, you would have to go through the process of SBF'ing back to Android 2.3.4 since all other ROMs are 2.3.4 based. However, Eclipse is the most stable as was mentioned already. Now between CM7 and MIUI, both are great ROMs. MIUI has some issues with audio and video in some scenarios but still works well. Flashing ROMs isnt that hard so if you have the time, try them all out. Just have all the files ready to restore your phone back to health in case something goes wrong.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
One other thing to think about between Eclipse (which is stable and the upcoming 2.0.4 release is really stable and fast) and CM7/MIUI is HDMI.

Eclipse still can output HDMI since it still has some of the BLUR components in it.

CM7/MIUI are both compiled from AOSP components and have ALL of the BLUR components removed, hence no HDMI.

So, if you use HDMI and it's deal-breaker for you, then Eclipse is definitely the way you want to go. But, stability is also nice thing for Eclipse.

I see the stability of the ROMs as follows with the most stable listed first:

Eclipse 2.0.X

CM7 Beta

MIUI

CM9 (not released yet but it has Ice Cream Sandwich)

I was on Eclipse 2.0.3, then went to CM7 and stayed there for awhile. Then, I got onto the Eclipse beta team and started testing 2.0.4. The latest 2.0.4 is the most stable I've seen Eclipse, after a few minor issues, but that's why were were beta testing it. Definitely, I'm sticking with Eclipse.

One thing I've noticed, no matter how hard you try to leave Eclipse, I'm always noticing that people keep coming back to it. That alone should tell you how great a ROM it really is.
[Motorola Droid X2] kalojado:
Thanks everyone. Seems like maybe I should try out Eclipse first, which is fine. I do want the most stable rom when it comes to my first time... then if I am feeling adventurous later I can try out the others. I will go do a search and hopefully can find a post that lets me know everything I need to do in one post. Thanks again for all the help, if anyone else wants to chime in, please do, I am open to any and all suggestions!

Motcher has given a step-by-step explanation on how to get Eclipse 2.0.3 up and running. Once you have that, then when Eclipse 2.0.4 goes public, you'll already be set to flash it.

Eclipse 2.0.3 is here -> http://www.eclipserom.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=11

Lucky for you, motcher created this sticky in the Development forum here,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1391824

[REF]How to go from any 2.3.4 stock/custom rom to any 2.3.5 (412) based custom rom

It has all the instructions you need in one place , it is all very easy also , don't be afraid of bricking your x2

We have this little thing called sbf, as long as you have a computer you will be able to bring you phone back from any "bricked" state if any problems happen.

just stay away from modifying any boot partitions or anything like that. Stick to basics like flashing roms and tweaks/mods/scripts that are found here in the x2 forum and you won't ever hard brick your x2 to the point of no return lol

if you are ever unsure about what exactly a mod/tweak/script/ROM/hack does to your phone then just ask before doing it, trust me tho, sbf is freaking great, so many times I've gotten "bricked" at the Motorola dual core splash screen and a quick sbf flash brings it right back...

And in case you didn't notice, I recommend eclipse ;) enjoy, happy flashing, and welcome
[Motorola Droid X2] kalojado:
Thanks so much for the info! I was out searching and wanted to ask if there was a specific link I could get that I could trust, but I didn't want to bother you all as I am sure you get these same questions over and over again. So thank you so much for passing that along... such a huge help and I am gonna attempt it here in a few moments...

Yeah, I have read a lot about sbf'ing and some people still act like I should be worried about bricking my phone, but I have also read other places where people have stated they have yet to see a phone they couldn't get back. So I am gonna try this, and just follow it step by step so I don't screw anything up! Will let you all know how it goes. Again, I can't thank everyone enough for all the great info!!
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Yea

I haven't seen anyone truly hard brick an x2

just stay away.from the mounts& storage options in BSR , and I think the only things you should touch in the advanced menu in BSR is wipe dalvik cache and battery stats...don't mess with anything else and you will be just fine brotha

Also, if there is anything you are to "embarrassed" to ask on the forum, then just shoot someone a private message ;) my pm inbox is always open :)

And yes, when rooted and you are doing hacks and tweaks and such, you always have the risk of something going wrong, but like I said, never seen a truly hard bricked x2 that couldn't be fixed via sbf, ...you really gotta kinda be TRYING to brick for that to happen lol
[Motorola Droid X2] kalojado:
Okay one quick question. On the link you provided the very fist download, RSD lite is not available. When you go to download it you get "Such file does not exist or it has been removed for infringement of copyrights." I went into the eclipse forum and there is mention of it being updated, but that is all I can find. Do you know where else I could get this file?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:

Someone else asked same question other day

that link shows my response ;)

Also,

U said you were on stock 2.3.4 right?

you won't need to sbf if you are, just install the 2.3.5 update zip

Then root with zergrush and good to go

Unless you are just getting everything set up for just in case you need to sbf...which is a great idea also :)

Good luck :D
[Motorola Droid X2] kalojado:
Yes, thats exactly what I was doing. I wanted to make sure I had everything just in case something went wrong. Just figured it would be good to have everything all set ;) But thanks again... much appreciation!
[Motorola Droid X2] DaveRichardson:
Miui is my rom of choice when it's in full release candidate polish, and maybe eventually Ace's Miui4DX2 will get there. In the meantime, there's a battery-eating wakelock issue, app-by-app sound issues (sound sometimes just doesn't work), and some kind of rendering issue that slows Netflix/certain games/MX Video and various other media apps to a 1 frame per minute crawl. There's also an issue where wifi drops out periodically and doesn't reconnect unless you prompt it (or install a service like "Wi Fi Fixer" that toggles it for you).

So until Ace releases a better beta (which could be as soon as tomorrow, or as late as never), I'd count Miui out as a daily driver.

CM7 as a rom is great--not quite as pretty as Miui (and I find Miui eliminates a lot of the sloppiness in pre-ICS Android), but it is rock solid. DZK's build is an almost perfect CM7 build, except it has the same wifi connectivity issue as Ace's Miui. The advantages it offers more than compensate for the annoyance of having to run Wi-fi Fixer and every now and then waiting for wi-fi to reconnect.

I'm running CM7 on my DX2 and am quite happy with it. I'll give Miui another shot if there's another release (and I'm excited to see how DZK's CM9 runs), but CM7 is likely to be the best daily driver for the X2 for at least another month or two

Eclipse is Blur based (so it has the advantage of functional HDMI), but suffers from the slowdowns/choppiness/audio tearing when multitasking we all know Blur brings. Nitro did a good job of cutting Blur's visual crap out, and he built in a few useful scripts.

Eclipse is definitely better than stock, but if you're gonna go through the trouble of rooting and rom-ing, I'd go with CM7. There's also the issue jsgraphicart mentioned about 2.3.5 vs 2.3.4 requiring a couple extra SBFs if you ever want to switch to something else.
[Motorola Droid X2] kalojado:
Well hrmm, now you got me thinking about CM7 again, lol. I am in the process of downloading the Eclipse files and maybe I will look into CM7 some more before I proceed. Honestly, I am not at all concerned with the HDMI issue, as I rarely use it... but with that being said can you tell me any more issues with CM7 that would turn off a user from making it their daily rom? if no HDMI is the only issue, that is not a deal breaker for me...
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
I had issues with apps sometimes hanging and having to kill them. Also, Super User would sometimes forget an app already had the permissions to run as root. Sometimes, I'd have to go into the application manager and tell it to stop the application and try again and then it would get the SU permissions.

With Eclipse, I've have never had this problem. Again, it just shows how Eclipse is much more stable.

As it is, I don't know how much farther Dragonzkiller will stick with CM7 since he's working on CM9 right now. He's been so busy trying to get CM9 out that any more development/enhancing of CM7 and curing the SU and hanging process issues seems to have stopped at this point. But, not pointing the blame at DKZ as he's one busy dude with CM9.

However, Nitro is constantly busy working on Eclipse and not just for the X2. He also does it for the Bionic, RAZR, Galaxy Nexus, and Droid Charge. I don't know how he does it!
