Same. Don't forget we have to do like 4 or 5 full cycle charges to get maximum performance.

Posted with SwiftKeyX on my CM9 Motorola Photon!
[Motorola Photon 4G] ZeroManArmy:
Wow.... XD Sold out! Glad I got mine when ASAP! Lol its an amazing battery so far! Too bad their isn't a case...
[Motorola Photon 4G] MedicStuder:
quick update

Charged first battery for 12 hours then placed in phone. 8 hours of heavy use then 24 he's light use till dead. Did show 1% during 24 he period. Have first battery charging (taking awhile since at 0%). Running second battery on medium use. First battery gave me 32hrs of use before charging.

Conditioning Battery

I got my extended battery (not from buy.com) on ebay, looks to be the same type of battery cell. Charged for 10 hours overnight and got about 12 hours of medium usage. Kind of disappointed. Am i suppose to condition these suckers before i get maximum battery life?

I already drained fully 2x.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MedicStuder:
I recommend about 4-5 full cycles. That's when I started to hit my numbers.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MedicStuder:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Young Cardiac:
Hey Guys

I just got a rogers tab. I installed a custom rom on it and turns out that the rom had a problem with it so I can't even use the rom since some error keeps popping up.

What I want to do is to put the custom rom back on. I can't seem to find a way of putting a rom file on the tablet. Is ODIN my only option? I downloaded the .rar file for the rom here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1405324

Once I downloaded the rar file I don't see the tar file in there. How do I restore this back to stock or if anything could help me in suggesting another way of putting files on the tablet that would be great.

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phrenicthenub:
Hey folks, I'm a casual flasher and have done most of the pre-requisite background readings. Went from 2.1 -> 2.2 Cognition and then -> 2.3 Serendipity so I can scrape by normally.

Everything was good on 2.3.5 with the GB bootloaders but then I tried to update to ICSSGS 4 but it didn't go well. Got stuck at the boot screen (probably I should have reset to factory settings)..I thought I would try to re-flash Serendipity using Odin but it didn't work.

Ok this is bad..so I tried to restore to all the way back to stock using Odin 1 Click for Rogers. ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=979133 ). This successfully got me back to 2.1 and I seem to have retained the GB bootloaders as I still have the i1900 boot screen first. Attempts to re-flash back to 2.3.5 through Odin have resulted in errors, and soft-bricked (pc-!-phone screen). However, I have been able to get back into download mode to restore to 2.1.

So now I need to get back but I'm having issues...

1) can't seem to manually get into recovery mode anymore using 3 button.

2) Wasn't able to unroot using one click unroot...gave me an error type 7 whatever that means.

3) Trying to flash kernels through odin seems to have failed the 2 times I tried it. I'm kind of scared to test my luck to try it again without a jig.

4) So what's the best way to get a kernel with CWM so I can try to get back to 2.3.5 at least?

5) Should I try this new-fangled heimdall instead?

Any assistance is appreciated... I'm afraid of screwing this up even more..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
1) well if you have i9000 bootloaders recovery is 2 button combo. not 3

2) error 7 or whatever that means... search cwm error 7 and find out... and its not error 7, it is STATUS 7. when you get an error, write down the error and type it into google. phone/pc/life...

2b) that is the oldest way to root captivate. search/download " superOneClick Root " nuff said.

3 /4 ) best ONLY way to get a cwm kernel without having Cwm is odin or heimdall, you cant brick flashing kernel, jig not needed. make sure you are using a newer version of odin 1.5 or newer please...

5) not going to hurt trying, but quite different from odin.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phrenicthenub:
Thanks for the quick replies and addressing my various points! Big fan of your one click to stock. :)

Perhaps a stupid question, but are there disadvantages to using one click odin rom flashing setups such as: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1285616 (stock 2.3.5)? Is this safe for me to use from 2.1 (with GB bootloaders)?

Just seems a lot easier than manually choosing files for pda spots etc.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
that is the same thing as my one-click-to stock "odin one clicks" but that is ATT and mine is rogers.

however the ATT version is better and higher android version, so i used it myself. but stock roms suck. take some time read up, (read flashing link in my sig) find a nice cool custom rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phrenicthenub:
True, I agree that custom roms are better than stock..I'd just like to get a better proper 'base' to flash my next rom than from 2.1 without cwm and root. I'll check out your guide.
[Milestone 2 General] revnu:
Hallo,

im a little bit desperate, because i cant flash ROMs on my Milestone2 (German Vodafone-Edition (nosimlock))

I Like to flash this ROM

But before i flash the ROM i tried to Backup my orginalROM....and here the Problem starts.

I installed "Droid 2 bootstrap"....i press "Bootstrap Recovery" (have root, made with z4root, and oneclick..perhaps it conflictet ?)

now the problem is, then i press "reboot recovery" the tel just makes a restart and dont enter the bootmeno :(

can you plz help me debugging together, so i can perhaps come to the pleasure to run a costum rom ??

greetz

ps.:sry 4 noobstressing the community, but im now @ a point there i dont have a clue how to solve this problem.
[Milestone 2 General] revnu:
ok i think i have found the problem,...but i cant solve it myself. perhaps im wrong, but i think, that something is misconfigurated that way, it needs to be fixed in a professional way :)

here is the mistake i did:

I first didnt know, that ROM Manager dont work on Milestone2 !!!

but i installed it,....and then install the bootloader (or driver) i was wondering, that milestone2 isnt listed....so i selected a not matching model. and so ROM Manager installed some error sh**t, that makes "droid 2 bootstrapper" not to go in bootmenu :(

anyone could say me if my suggestion could be right ? and if theres a way to check that ?

Is there a way to debug my problem in a good way, so we could find the error ?
[Milestone 2 General] revnu:
doh....seems to be, that the Milestone2 should moved to the "Low Activity Devices"-Forum^^

nobody here, that can help out with Milestone2-issues ???

[Milestone 2 General] isaacnuness:
vo tentar ajudar

tenta apertar ao mesmo tempo com o cell desligado!(power+camera+volume baixo)

e entrar no bootloader! (vc deve ter os drivers instalados)

se nao funcionar!

abre o rsdlite e com o cell desligado, tenta os mesmos botoes! ja passei por isso e funcionou!
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
First thing, Bootstrap is not supposed to take you to boot menu, it is supposed to take you to Clockwork recovery 2.xx menu after first pressing 'bootstrap recovery' and then using 'reboot recovery' option.

Are you not able to reach CWR? If you are able to reach it, then you flash Bootmenu v.0.8.6_v2 from Endless7's CM7 first post using install from zip option in Clockwork recovery. After this you'll have Bootmenu.

Hope it helps!!
[Milestone 2 General] revnu:
Hallo,

thx 4 your help. i didnt know that i have to use both tools in combination to boot to recovery menu. i have now installed "Droid_2_Recovery_Bootstrap_v1.0.0.5" and "ROM Manager 5".....i even gave them full permissions with root explorer. But then i make "reboot recovery" in bootstrap it just restarts.....i even cant get in recovery menu by key combos. then i press photobutton+Vol up/down, i come in a other bootloader (standart bootloader? connect usb)

what is the right keykombo to test ? do i have to use rom manager 2 instead of 5 ??

i want to do it like this tutorial und flash the rom there.....i hope it will work because i even cant get the start work :(
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
I don't think the ROM manager works on Milestone 2. At least I have never used it.

When you are in boot manager, there is an option 'Recovery'. Go to that option n press power button. Then you need to select 'Stable Recovery' from the next screen and this should take you to clockwork recovery to flash ROMs.
[Milestone 2 General] revnu:
my problem is i CANT get in bootmanager :(

i installed droid2 bootstrap. i press first install,..then reboot, he just makes newstart. what have i exactly to do ? keykombo ?

then i hold X during start i get to a strange menu. when i now press cam+vol-up i come to a menu called "android systems recovery <2e>" and have the following options:

"reboot system now"

"apply sdcard:update.zip"

"wipe data/factory reset"

wipe cache partition"

the option u said (Recovery) is not there. my phone is rooted, but i have nothing more installed than droid2bootstrap (going to uninstall rom manager now)

thx that u helping me out, im kinda alone with my problem for days and dont know what to do to aplly this tutorial to my phone. hope we can manage to find out what idiot-mistake i make :)
[Milestone 2 General] revnu:
i cant understand your language :(
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
Okay. Let me try to give you the complete process. I hope you will understand it and can follow it.

1. Root your phone. Keep the bootmenu_0.8.6.zip on root of your sd card.

2. Install Droid2bootstrapper. (no need of ROM manager)

3. Open the app Droid2bootstrapper. Select option 'Bootstrap Recovery'. It will ask for Root access. Grant the access by pressing 'Yes'.

4. A message 'Success' (or something similar) will be shown. Press 'OK'.

5. Now, select the second option 'Reboot recovery'.

6. Phone will reboot and you will see a Clockword Mod Recovery menu. It will have options as shown in the image attached.

7. Choose option 'Install zip from sd card' (using the camera key). Select boot menu_0.8.6.zip.

8. Once boot menu is flashed. Reboot your phone.

9. You will see the LED go blue during the second M logo. Press volume down and you will be in bootmenu.
[Milestone 2 General] revnu:
Hallo,

thx again 4 helping me.

i EXACTLY DO THAT.....till step 5 every thing is fine. but then it comes to step 6....the telephone just restarts, without getting in the bootmenu.

i never saw that clockwork menu you posted in the picture. slowly i think, that something is wrong with my tel.

perhaps i already made some stuff, that destroyed my possibility to install get in this menu :(

istn there a other way to install that ROM ?
[Milestone 2 General] siakgayyem:
Let us try a different approach. While your phone is turned on and you are in the home screen, try to press and hold the power button for about 2 seconds? There is supposed to be a menu that comes out with choices to power off or reboot device, silent mode or something like that. Choose reboot and new choices will pop out. Try to see if recovery is listed and choose that. Your phone should restart and boot to recovery. If it works that way then you can install bootmenu.zip from there. Hope that works for you.
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
My suggestion:

1) format data/cache in stock recovery (hold X during boot)

2) if it will not work after this, try to flash sbf from http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2 (if you have Froyo, choose some Froyo version, if you have GB, then choose GB - remember, that you can't go back to Froyo, once you'll flash GB... ok, you can via downgrade, but this is not important for now)

.. then root it (are you really sure, you've successfully rooted your phone? Use this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=cs for verification)

... then install droid2bootstrap and if you'll not be able to enter recovery directly from bootstrap, try to hold vol up+vol down during booting process (but I'm not sure if this option is available in the first version of CWM/bootstrap for M2) also you can try to enter recovery (not install it, just enter into it) via ROM Manager...

If it will not work after these steps, then you have probably some mysterious Milestone 2 or you are doing something wrong...
[Milestone 2 General] revnu:
the point "reboot" is not present in that menu !!!

going to ust rsd-lite an flash over a stock-rom
[Milestone 2 General] revnu:
i tried flashing "2.3.4 Service Version" from that side. this one:

Germany	Vodafone	MILS2_U6_4.1-22

because i have a milestone2 from vodafone (germany). it began flash, than stopped with an error:

failed flashing process

on Phonedisplay it says:

critical error febe 0047

but itz not bricked....i made factoryreset now

EDIT: perhaps i have to unroot it before flashing ??
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
Do you have the superuser icon in your app drawer? If yes, then can you check if it says that Droid2Bootstrapper has been given SuperUser access.

If possible can you post a photo (if not screenshot) of the SuperUser app.
[Milestone 2 General] revnu:
thx everybody 4 helping me out, i hope we manage to find that stupid error.

here is the screenshot:

This time i made a factoryreset via stock recoverymode (pressingX, then volUp+foto)

after that i rooted my phone via superoneclick. something is strage with that, and perhaps heres the error. then superoneclick sends the test to the phone nothing happens....and die rooting prozess ends not in an normal way....in fact it never ends, then i just pull the usb und restart, the superuseraccount is there. i can use apps that need root.

i now trying to completely unroot with oneclick und then use z4root from market. perhaps it works.

i realized, that the root is not gone after factoryreset. perhaps it is the best i flash sbf. i yesterday tried, but flashing endet with an error.

i tried "2.3.4 Service Version Germany Vodafone MILS2_U6_4.1-22" from this side

downloadet from here (because links on other side are down)

ok one thing is not really clear for me. i tried to flash version 2.3.4

in my telinfo it says: "firmwareversion 2.2.1" that meens i have froyo right ? so i better try the "2.2.2 Service Version" on that side....but it is listed as "DE, AT,CH (O2 DE) (No Branding).....O2 is a german provider. i have a "vodafone-germany" version.is there a problem flash other sfbs ?

perhaps i manage to get rid of the problem by first flashing another ROM with RSD-Lite, then i Flash the ROM i want, after sucsessfully installing droid2bootstrap.

can someone say me if there is another way to make this toturial work with rsd-lite?

questions over question, i know, but im not able to solve this problem myself :(

EDIT: made a clean unroot. then restart, and rooted the device again (with superoneclick). then oneclick tells me "do you want to test if root worked" i click yes. normally on the handydisplay it must pop up a message at this time, but nothing happened. after that i waited for timeout und the rooting prozess ended in a regular way this time. i have the superuser again,.....bootstrap says "sucsess" after installing bootstrap recovery, but then i press "reboot recovry"-->regular restart. also then i press powerbutton for 2sec in homescreen i dont have the option to reboot, just "turn-off" "flightmodus" & "silent". something is terribly wrong with my device and i think i most go the way to flash sbf
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
Well, you won't have reboot option for sure since you are using a stock ROM. So don't worry about that.

But if bootstrapper is working fine, which seems to be the case from the screenshots, then I can't really understand why it is not going in CWR on pressing reboot recovery.

Test for root rights with some other apps like root browser. You can find it here on xda. Open root browser and check if you are able to change permissions of some app inside /system/apps folder, any system app that you don't use such as Moto phone portal etc.

If you can change the permissions with it, then it is difficult to say what the problem is.

Edit: Also try unrooting with superclickone and rooting again with z4root (permanent option) that is if you are still on Froyo. Seems pointless but the problem itself is pretty weird.

Plus, are you saying that you are unable to flash an sbf using RSDLite? Is that process failing for you?
[Milestone 2 General] thokkalodi:
Hi,

Can you check if USB debugging is enabled and then try installing the bootstrap recovery and then reboot and see if it works?
[Milestone 2 General] revnu:
UPDATE:

stock ROM from vodafone is now flashing with rsd-lite !!!!

i hope this "strange bug" is gone after this process.

after me system is fresh and new im going to test again, and i bet it will boot in recovery without problems.

also i did another rootmethod and had different (better) results than gaining writeacess via adb-shell. with my "superoneclick"root adb showed "read only" message then trying to push an app !! ...but anyway, after the better rootmethod and confirming that i can push apps (writeacess) bootstrap didnt work.

.....ohh sbf-flash finished :))) wait ill check !!
[Milestone 2 General] revnu:
Ok now im absolutly sure, that something is really strange here !!!

ich sucessfully flashed the orginal 2.2.1 ROM from this side

device stared, regular.....then, without making ANY changes (no installing programms or stuff like that) i connected the phone via usb (debugging on, only-load-mode)

then i rooted it using this method, and pushed the droid2bootstrab.apk via abd-shell, all worked, no error, that i have only readpermissions. the files i used are all from this links.

i restarted phone. then i opened bootstrap, installed bootstrap, pressed "reboot recovery".....and.....

.....same sh**t :mad:

at this point i really believe vodafone did something to protect the bootloader better, then in older versions ?!?!

i mean it is a clean install. the root method i posted on this side, seems so be a good method (i think itz level3-root but im not sure)

ok, to be realistic (because flashing seems to be possible with the right image) i think the only sollution ist to not really find the error, but solve the problem by burning another ROM via sbf-flash.

is it possible to just flash the ROM i want, via rsd-lite ? or at least flash another MOD (even then its not german, how i like it) ??

EDIT: i now try to downgrade to 2.0 and look if problem presists.....
[Milestone 2 General] revnu:
bah, im not able to downgrade, just because all links to firmwares are down :(

i heared about a program called "open recovery" perhaps i could try it with that...but i think itz not working with milestome 2
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
hey, the sbf links that you just gave are NOT MILESTONE 2. If you successfully installed an SBF from that site then you may not have a MS2. MS2 is A953.

Do you have a milestone 2 or some other Moto phone?

OMG !!!!!!!!!

THX 4 THAT!!!!! :D :D :D

The Telephone was a gift. A friend gave me. He said it is a Milestone2. And the original package where the tel was in was a Milestone 2 package !!!!! So the illusion was perfect. I all time tried to flash a Milestone2-CostumROM on a Milestone1

the funny fact is, that we found this out, because i flashed by mistake a milestone1-image on a (how i thought) "Milestone2"

So I'm done with the sensation, all the "remove all sense, add fast in topic title" devs (no offence, but I personally think there's too many of this already).

I'm now thinking of getting a Gal Nex, only because of the AOSP development over there. but I am a little worried it might be slower than my sensation (1.5ghz vs 1.2, anyone? and the gpu?)

So in your honest opinion, do you think an upgrade to the gal nex is okay?

(btw, please don't go "if you didn't like sense and want aosp why did you buy the sensation. I got this because of the hardware, not some crappy sluggish UI HTC made.)

[General Questions and Answers] exb0:
If you have this opinion, you'll never have a new phone. A "better" phone is ALWAYS around the corner. I'm alright with specs like the gal nex or the sensation because I don't game .
[General Questions and Answers] g1user101:
ive been through many phones already. i came back to the sensation because the specs of the current phones are all the same in some way. i chose sensation for build quality, looks, and camera. and especially with the One series coming out, wait for it.
[General Questions and Answers] dr.m0x:
Galaxy nexus is not an upgrade from sensation, it is a side grade. It's better in some ways but worse in others.
[General Questions and Answers] thebobp:
As above poster said, it's a "side-grade" rather than an upgrade. It's most likely that cpu doesn't make that much noticable difference: 1.2 should be enough to run contemporary apps (they're usually designed to be compatible with slower phones, hence why iPhone can get away with underclocking for instance), especially since you don't game. Ditto for the GPU. This should also lead to better battery life - along with having a more powerful battery, of course.

That said, there are a lot of quirks with the Nexus itself (and, to some extent, Samsung's handling of it). Camera, MTP USB protocol only, nonremovable SD card, question of whether car dock will ever be made. Make sure you research and are happy with all of them before buying.

It's been a few months, so the Nexus should be getting pretty cheap. I would get it for at most $600 U.S. Price promotions often come out here, though I'm not sure about in your geographical location.

I assume you know about the alternatives showcased in MWC that are coming out in a few months. Huawei Ascend D (the "fastest phone") is rumored to come with stock ICS for example. Galaxy Nexus is still probably the best bet right now for longer term dev support, however.
[General Questions and Answers] exb0:
Hmm, thanks for the reply . I've already made a deal with the seller and we're meeting up tomorrow. Will probably make a comparison. But just out of curiosity, which gpu performs better?and I mean real life performance. Eg our gpu is supposedly better that the gs2's but in real life gs2 is much better.
[General Questions and Answers] thebobp:
I have no idea :D

Edit: But, I wouldn't count on the Nexus' GPU being better.
