I had the same problem as you. updated CWM to 5.0.2.8 and eagerly flashed the newest beta of cm9 without really paying attention to what i did. Now i'm stuck with a dead battery and an obsolete recovery with no way to charge. I ordered an external battery charger (something i was going to do anyway) off of amazon and will be fixing this issue when i get off work. I didn't even think of jerry-rigging a macgiver charger with one of the 5 moto chargers i have lying around.

Glad to see we have great support here on the forums. Everyone that posted in this thread should get thanks.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpickem:
I bought a Xoom at Staples a couple weeks ago for $250. It was the display model and had some obvious wear, but still works great. I love it...however there seems to be a problem with the power button. It works, but sometimes I have to press it several times before it does anything. My thinking is it only gets worse from here so...

Today I called Motorola and they said they would repair it. They will send me a shipping pack(Box & prepaid label) and I send it to them...then within 4-5 days they send it back. That's what I was told,

I have it unlocked, rooted & running EOS 1.0

...It is setup very well for what I need.

My question(s)

If I flash stock rom and relock, is it likely there will be a problem with the warranty?

I hear a lot of power button problems with Moto products in general, so is this one likely to fail soon or just be a minor hinderance for the forseeable future?

What would you do?

Sometimes the button is fine for a couple days, then it acts up again :eek:
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandogg:
Buttons are buttons, yours is messed up since it was a display model and probably everyone in that store finger banged your Xoom at some point. You shouldn't have to revert to stock, since Motorola is most likely going to do that for you anyway, unfortunately. I've never heard of any real power button issue with Motorola products...a button is a button, after all.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cubanluke88:
Make a nandroid backup, relock and flash stock. Secure your nandroid somewhere other than your Xoom. Warranty shouldn't be a problem at this point.

When you get it back, simply unlock, flash cwm and restore your nandroid.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] prodigyfied:
Get a bluetooth dongle - I use it this way

configure the com port that your PC bluetooth uses in activesync (PC) in

File-> Connection settings->Allow connections to one of the following -> Your COM port

After that, go to activesync on your mobile,

Menu -> Sync via bluetooth

When you're done - Menu -> Disconnect

That's it, click thank you button if I helped you
[Motorola Droid Bionic] hemmar:
Hey all,

I have been Google'ing trying to figure out how Motofail works. I understand the .bat script, its very similar to how rageagainstthecage worked on the Droid OG:

push the file to /data/local

run the exploit

remount /system as rw

push su, SuperUser.apk, and busybox

remove exploit from /data/local

reboot

What exactly is the motofail exploit doing though? I know with rageagainstthecage it caused a race condition where it filled the process table while the adb server was restarting which caused the setuid in the adb server to fail to switch to user from root.

my question is what is happening when the following commands are run

adb shell "/data/local/motofail exploit"
adb shell "/data/local/motofail clean"

Thanks in advanced!

Hemmar
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
Ask Dan rosenburg or what ever his name is I believe it states this on his website
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rweb:
He didn't describe the vulnerability.

It's not very hard to find out the underlaying idea by just running motofail exploit and see what files had been altered.

You need to be _very_ skilled to develop these kind of exploits. But it's funny to see that Guys like Dan will always find a way. Just read his latest blog entry: "OEMs: unlock your bootloaders, you are not going to win this one". Great! :-)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] hemmar:
Is this the right site?

Is vulnfactory the right site? I don't see any mention of OEMs and bootloaders on it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iNsAnEmOd:
Yes Vulnfactory is the correct site. It has all of Dan's work. Bootloader not unlocked for the bionic so I see no reason to mention it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
If we had a unlocked bootloadwr what exactly would change for us other than possibly over clocked kernals

You could do anything to the phone - replace the recovery, (not bootstrapped, completely replaced) and thus have custom ROMs with custom kernels, pre-rooted, no security checking, nothing to get in the way.

Think OG Droid.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ironicsky:
I'm using a Rogers Infuse 4G and seem to be having difficulties with my lock screen to prompt for a password/pin.

I had previously rooted my phone, and used MIUI, Infused, and a few other ROM's. the issue started on my last install of Infused. If I set a password, or pin it prompts, prompts for confirmation then goes back to the password options screen.

When I lock my device, or reboot, it does not prompt for the PIN/Password. Strangely enough, Pattern works, but, because I use my phone on an exchange email system, I'm forced to use a password/pin.

So I decided that maybe the ROM was bad, so I redownloaded and flashed the device, clearing cache, user data and dalvik cache. Same issue. Failing that, I used ODIN to reload a stock rooted Rogers PDA and Phone image back on to the device.

Rebooted, ran SuperOneClick to Unroot the device, and I have the same issue. Are the infuses like iPhones, where the PIN is stored in a hardware chip? Is it possible that, if this is the case, that chip is somehow not functioning?

I'm having difficulties figuring out why a Rogers Infuse Gingerbread ROM can't update the security settings

Any help is appreciated :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ironicsky:
Bump.

Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? I've tried re-flashing using ODIN and a PIT file + PDA_UXKG3_rooted_no_bootloaders_v2.tar.md5 and PHONE_UXKG3.tar.md5

For whatever reason, my phone still refuses to save whatever password I put in for the lock screen.

See if your phone is showing a generic IMEI by pressing *#06# on the dialpad or checking in settings...

So ya think ics changed my phone's product code? Has anyone else had that problem I wonder. Anyway, if i back up efs isnt that changed with the ics or do I need to just go back to factory and redo everything?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
It shouldn't have. You can be save and back up each version (assuming it actually changes). Its not uncommon roms changing product code, it is uncommon messing with IMEI (but it happens).

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawninaugusta:
I agree completely, the Note is coming out on the 19th at a $299 price with upgrade, I am eligible also so I think I am going to wait to see if the hype either kills it or it becomes something people really love. I like the stylus developed by Wacom the leaders in that field so would be cool but you have the best point of all, do I want that big of a phone? Even better will it fit in my pocket or do I have to make the gf carry it in her purse! There is a wait for ics for it so suppose gonna stick with captivate until (if) note proves hmmm I hate saying this but proves noteworthy...lol

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] newg:
My mum has a nexus and I've had a chance to play around with it quite a lot. It's a fantastic phone. Ics is buttery smooth and visually appealing in its aosp form. I've always been a fan of the stock android os. But at the end of the day, as great as The nexus is, it's just a phone.

The note is something unique and special. There's nothing else like it. The screen size is perfect. Once you go to a screen this size, you'll never go back. The only minor letdown for me is the touchwiz interface, but let's be honest, its easily changed. Its also the best manufacturer overlay in my opinion. HTC sense and the LG and Sony offerings are dire. Touchwiz is useable and attractive at least.

The nexus is a great phone, but the note is the one for me. It has drastically cut down on my laptop time. I use it for everything. Its also comfortable as an ereader.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anakin1979:
At some point I had both the Nexus and the Note, but I didn't want two devices so I had to decide which one to sell.

I ended up keeping the Note. I loved the Nexus, don't get me wrong, but overall the Note had it's advantages.

The nexus is slick looking and easy to carry, ICS flies on the thing- no lags. A lot have whined about the camera, but personally I found it acceptable.

It wasn't easy to choose but after considering that the Note will also have ICS, I chose the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] oohyeah:
I had the Nexus One (thought I know you're not referring to that one), then upgraded to the G Nexus as soon as it was available. I had considered the Note then, but chose the G Nexus because:

- Developer support and Google support for G Nexus

- I thought the Note was too big

- G Nexus had ICS

- G Nexus didn't have SAMSUNG logo on the front and it looked so cool being all black, and not the mention the sexy curve (hence my name for it was "Sexy Nexy").

So, after getting the G Nexus, I loved it! THe screen was so beautiful - my first experience of a super amoled screen, and I was blown away by how black the black was. And the size - super for reading.

I became addicted to big screens.

Then I started thinking... wouldn't it be EVEN BETTER with an even bigger screen, like the 5.3" on the Note?? I couldn't stop thinking about it. Eventually, I gave in, and sold the G Nexus and bought the Note. These were the reasons:

- Addicted to big screens, and was convinced the Note was not going to be too big (I was sooo right :) )

- Camera on Note is quite a bit better, IMO. I don't need 'zero shutter lag' that the G Nexus has, esp if it compromises on quality.

- I was already feeling the pinch on storage space on the Nexus, esp with all the Nandroid backups which were as big as 1Gb each! I just bought a 32Gb micro sd card for my Note, and I feel so much freer now!

- Some apps didn't work on ICS. Also I figured that GB wasn't that bad. Heck, I had lived with it and loved it on my N1 for how long? In any case, ICS should be here pretty darn soon, and by that hopefully all the apps I use will support it.

- I actually like having the row of fixed capacitative buttons and hard button on the Note. It is positioned right at the bottom of the phone, so actually, if you compare with the Nexus, it doens't take up any additional space (cos in the Nexus, there's just blank wasted space there). The great thing about having the buttons there is that your 'real' screen does not need to get wasted with the software buttons when ICS comes along - ie., you're getting even more screen real estate than you think!

- Better hardware on the NOte - processor and GPU. I also read and watched youtube reviews that seemed to indicate that the Note was quite a lot faster, and that the battery life is much better. (I can confirm both to be very true! - and see the youtube vid of someone with alpha CM9 on the Note, commenting that ICS feels even faster on the Note than on his Nexus!)

- I still think the Nexus is better-looking, but how far is looks going to get you? Also, I can live with the Samsung logo on the screen :)

- As for developer support, it was becoming clear to me that the Note was becoming very popular, and was getting a lot of developer support too. So far, it's definitely looking very true.

- Lastly, again - the screen size is so fantastic! I no longer use my tablet (ipad), even when I have both at my disposal. It's just so much easier to use the Note esp when lying down on the couch and reading from it.

If the above helps you, please press the 'THANK' button, thanks!! :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] apd:
I got a Note yesterday. I agree with all of the above. Nexus will be being sold very shortly. All other screens now look too small. Also, the signal seems better on the Note.

So far, only 2 things I don't like on the Note: (1) Gingerbread, but that will be upgraded soon and (2) Touchwiz, but when modded ICS ROMs come out, I'll start using them instead. Oh, and I'm not sure how I'm going to jog with my Note - it won;t fit in the pockets on my skins!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] garbagecanman:
I have Ics on my a500 and love it and know its only a matter of time before the note has it so n biggie there. I also owned q streak when they were out so i lived the 5" screen ans have been craving it ever since . My infuse is nice but i want a unique phone like the note again.

Wallked to the phone section and there it was, the awsome nexus, just waiting on me.. i picked it up. .. Had it in my hand, played with it and then i looked to the left.. Right next to the GNexus was the GNote.. I though.. Hmmmmmmmmmm. ..

After a few sec. Thinking and comparing both on the fly, I decided to go for the note, it fits excacly my needs and so far i dont regret it..

Got the order confirmation email, then the email on the 10th that everything was fine, and I'd get it by the 17th. Well tonight I called in just to ask about order status, n see if they would tell me when they would charge my card. They told me there was an issue, and I should have gotten an email to call them. They put me on the phone with the identity verification department. They asked me some multiple choice credit questions. Said I was good, and approved my order.
