Hey, not sure of what I need to do. I have read things for clean installs, then things to unbrick your phone. I haven't seen anything for installing a newer rom.

I have the GingerBread unbloated root ROM. Nothing crazy. I want to install the newest Eclipse ROM. I downloaded the eclipse file. However, not 100% sure how to install this. When I installed my previous rom i did it with Odin. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
[Verizon Droid Charge] piizzadude:
Isn't there an Odin for eclipse? If not you need to Odin cwm and then flash eclipse through that. Portip: you need to go into cwm on the first reboot or you will have to start over

Charged up post!
[Verizon Droid Charge] cnoevl21:
Go here to install CWM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106608 Once you have CWM save whatever you need to save in Titanium Backup or Google or however u save ur stuff; make sure the ROM u want is on ur SD card (kernel too, i suggest PJB if u dont have it already) and power off ur phone. then boot into CWM (Vol up, home, and power together until u see the samsung logo, then let go of power button but hold the other two until you see the text this is CWM)

You dont HAVE to do a wipe data/factory reset, but it is highly suggested. wipe cache. go to advanced and wipe dalvik. Then just choose flash file from sd card, choose ur ROM and ur done.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sasquatch080:
If you're coming from another Rom, it is highly recommended to do full wipe. Factory data, cache, dalvik. Mount system first, then flash Rom.
[Verizon Droid Charge] talty09:
Where is this PJB kernel?
[Verizon Droid Charge] wpgibson:
Can I follow this procedure coming from deodexed EP4D debloated running Imnuts kernel (4.0. something) and EXT4?

Edit: its Imoseyon's kernel.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cujo6801:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/137-01-30-12peanutbutta-jelly-time/
[Verizon Droid Charge] ewh1292:
Yes, that's exactly what I did. I installed the newest CWM first (You can find the thread in the development section) and then I installed eclipse v1.4 over the debloated/deodexed EP4D. Wipe data, cache, and Dalvik cache of course before installing the new ROM. Reboot and then go back into recovery and install PBJ 0130 kernel and you'll be good to go. Also, if you run into superuser problems, like losing root access, just reinstall the newest superuser in CWM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cujo6801:
yes but not recommended...use pb&j...
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Use imoseyon's kernel to convert to EXT4, then go back and flash pbj
[Verizon Droid Charge] talty09:
So get the newest version of CWM, get PBJT, use odin to put on CWM, flash the PBJT kernel, Wipe data, davik, cahce, then flash the eclipse rom?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ewh1292:
Yes but I flashed the new ROM first after wiping everything and then installed the new kernel (0130 PBJ) after first full boot on the new ROM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] talty09:
does it matter? either way then i will follow what you said. Flash CWM, wipe data, Flash ROM, then PBJT?
[Verizon Droid Charge] wpgibson:
Superuser through CWM

That procedure worked like champ. .... except:

as you suggested, Superuser lost root access.

I'm sure this is a noob question, but where/how do I plug SuperUser in through CWM. I assume there is a zip that I can load once i'm up in CWM recovery. If so, would you be kind enough to point in the right direction to get it? (I know, search is my friend, but I'm on a tight clock today.)

[EDIT] - I ran "Fix permissions" in CWM. Rebooted, and it had SU working properly.

I also Found a SuperUser Pack that is a .Zip file over at Tom's world that's flashable through CWM. I didn't use it, but I did download it.

Many thanks. You got me on Eclipse in a record amount of time.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ewh1292:
I don't know if it matters, but it worked for me, so it's ultimately up to you what you do with your phone lol. So the answer to your question is yes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ewh1292:
Cool, glad I could help out although you did everything so great job!
[Atrix 4G General] 1.ATRIX-in-PT:
I downloaded the OTA 4.5.141 on my unlocked and rooted Atrix, when I was advised to do this (only a few days ago), but stopped the installation of it.

After reading all the threads here in xda forum, this might be the best idea. I do not see the advantages of 4.5.141, only a lot of the disadvantages. Loosing root, high possibility of a brick ... ... better to wait for ICS as my Atrix is running perfect. Really love this little masterpiece.

But since I downloaded the OTA my Atrix advises my hourly that I should install the download. This annoing, how can I disable this ? Please help.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Use a root file manager and go to the /system/app folder and freeze the "Updater.apk " by adding a ".bak " to the end of it and rebooting.

If you have the paid version of the TiBu then you can freeze it with that.
[Atrix 4G General] ericc191:
What's wrong with 4.5.141? I installed it and just rerooted/unlocked/flashed
[Atrix 4G General] 1.ATRIX-in-PT:
Hi live4nyy !

Thanks. The file is /system/app/Upgrader.apk ?
[Atrix 4G General] 1.ATRIX-in-PT:
Hi ericc191 !

Probably you are right and nothing is "wrong" with 4.5.141 and "no risk, no fun". But it seems, that it includes just some little improvements.

It's not a real system update, so I am not very much in the mood for all this struggle to get my Atrix back to normal after the update (rooted, unblocked and not bricked).
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Yeah, upgrader or updater. One of those
[Atrix 4G General] das8nt:
If you're freezing it through a root file manager, then look for BlurUpdater.apk; do not change the "Upgrader."

If you're in Titanium Backup, then it's called Updater 2.3.4.

If you've already downloaded the update, then you might also need to boot into recovery and wipe the cache partition to erase the update file.
[Atrix 4G General] sanriver12:
this didnt work for me

this did the trick
[Atrix 4G General] sendust7:
Yesss! No more annoying notifys!
[Atrix 4G General] athlonfan:
hi all,

since the update was popping up from time to time and never really researched how to turn it off today, I friggin accidentally pressed on "install update" and automatically tried to reboot the phone, when I realized the mistake, I quickly pulled the battery out and waited for a few minutes then switched it back on.

it booted up fine but once it completes its bootup sequence, it would again prompt for an auto restart and try to install the update. Seems like the update is on the auto startup items (if there's such a thing).

I tried booting into safemode but can't get to do it maybe because I'm using an Alien build rom.

Any ideas on how to solve the problem? Please note that the phone boots but it tries to restart as soon as I can use it.

I have booted up now to recovery and will try to delete the updater apk and see if that will work. thanks in advance!.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iivisionii:
I posted this in one of the posts below, but figured more people would see it out here and could take advantage of it, especially with all the new bricks we've been hearing about.

I bought 2 usb jigs from ebay for a total of 6 cents from the seller "higadgetshop" on eBay. If anyone is still looking for a cheap jig, search for

Samsung i9100 Galaxy S II Download mode USB Dongle Jig

He has a ton of them on sale for 1 cent with free shipping. They're shipped from China and probably take a couple of weeks to get to you, but I just got them so I would have them in case I ever needed them. If you bid at 1 cent, or even up to like 10 cents, you will most likely win the auction. I honestly don't know how he makes any money on it. He probably just wants to good reputation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
They're pretty cheap on Amazon too.

I got this one off Amazon... was $0.01 + shipping (Shipping was like $4.something)

I tested it and it works exactly as described.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iivisionii:
I just tried and you're right. With that search they're mostly gone. Try searching for just USB jig and sort by low price with shipping. There's a few for 6 cents right more with a couple of bids. Not s many as the fist time I went on though.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tree of Knowledge:
Hey folks,

I'm wondering if anybody has any good recommendations for a screen protector. Normally I hate them but if possible I'd like one that's not really visible and won't collect dust.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SovereigN7:
Your best bet is with XOskins. I've tried both dry and wet app, and for clarity you should go for XOskins. I've heard very little about martin fields, but it's $20 for 1 and it's a dry app, so it'll be smooth unlike the XO. The only thing about XO is the rubbery feeling, however it is a great product and you should definitely go with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bskim23:
I personally have tried a handful of screen protectors, so I'll write up a quick review on all of them and try to help you out.

Clear screen protector from Verizon: around $15 for 3 dry applications. Does not fit up to the edges and has a rainbow effect at certain angles. Would not recommend.

SGP flex: around $15 wet application. Does fit up to the edges, but like other wet applications, still feels rubbery and has some minimal orange peelish effect. If you don't mind the feel/look, it will protect well. I personally do not like the feel/look of wet applications.

SGP oleophobic: around $15 for 2 dry applications. Does not fit up to the edges, but feels really nice and repels oil well. If you don't mind not having full coverage around the edges, I would recommend this.

Martin Fields: around $15 for 1 dry application. Does fit up to the edges, but because of our curved display, the bottom and lower side portions of the screen protector lift minimally. Also, does seem to be a fingerprint magnet. If you like dry applications with full coverage and don't mind small lifting at the bottom and lower sides, this works well. I'm personally using this since I like dry applications and it covers everything except the earpiece. It also comes with a small circle protector for the rear camera which is kinda cool.

ARM Station: free (?) I went to their site and emailed them asking for a sample and they sent 2 samples over to me for free. They're in China, so it took a little over a week. This fits pretty much to the edge, but slightly less than the Martin Fields, which is nice because the edges don't lift. They are thin, so I don't know how much protection these will offer and there is the rainbow effect like the clear Verizon protectors. If you don't mind those things and like the full coverage of the screen, these are really nice. Just don't know how much longer they will be sending out "free" samples.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tree of Knowledge:
Thanks a lot for the suggestions. One more question, which ones are least visible? In other words, which one will help my screen look like I don't have a screen protector? I'm super OCD and that bothers me lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
There are 2 things that make you aware of having a screen protector - the clarity and the fit.

Oleophobic is pretty clear but it's not edge to edge, so you could obviously tell there's a protector sitting on top of your screen because of the margin around it.

XO is just as clear BUT it's wet application so it means the texture is slightly rubbery. No orange peel though, unlike Zagg.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SovereigN7:
Will the martin fields cover enough so that the cases can "lip" over it? I remember the sgp had considerable gap on the edges and thought that no case would cover those. I have the diztronic v3 case if that matters.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sofia-captivate:
I've tried almost all these screen protector and for $7.99 you can get basalguardz screen protector and there is 3 in the package. Can't go wrong
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mwinggg:
martin fields is really edge to edge so i guess sgp neo hybrid's lip would cover the lifted up part i guess

Hi all,

What are the requirements to use google wallet on your phone? I understand its an app which is downloaded but what spec do you need on your phone to use it?

Also I am in the UK and just wondering which shops people have seen the terminals in?

I know McDonalds have it but hardly eat there.

NFC and the Secure Element are the requirements.

I use the app PayPass Locator to find who accepts it. 400 retailers use it near me.

Whats NFC? And is there somewhere I can go to find a list of phones that have these requirements?
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
Only a few phones support it...the GSII, Nexus, and a couple others. The NFC antenna is located in the battery too, so it's not something you can just activate with a custom ROM.

I finally braved the urge and flashed Eclipse just now without a hitch as well as RR... wifi doesnt work as others with the droid x2. Ill play around and see what else I come up with.

Issues I came across...

Wifi

App Drawer sticks occaionally

[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
The op for CM7 is good YOU will have no wifi.

To all Mx2 users: JUST DO NOT LEAVE CWR W/O FLASHING ReRecovery, make it routine.

Edit this is a tough one I will have to verify this on my dx2 but the rule would be use RR.dx2 until you actually flash cm7.zip & in that same cwr session flash RR.dx2.cm7. Note same for Miui .

I am running cm9 a2 on my touch pad and would like to know how I would go about flashing the latest nightly which now include everything in alpha 2. I gather you can't flash from from rom manager. Also where do I get the latest nightlies? Any help would be appreciated.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicle_11:
Do a search in the dev forum for 'nightlies'. In the thread you'll find the download link, I think it's 'terrachata'. Install the file with cwm. (install zip > choose zip from sdcard). Do a wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache beforehand . If coming from cm9 alpha 2, no need to wipe/delete data, factory reset.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pa49:
http://techerrata.com/browse/nightly_kangs/tenderloin

Absolutely no need to wipe anything.

I've flashed each nightly "over the top" of the previous version without any problem.

You can use Rom Manager to flash. Just tell it to use the existing version of CWM when it asks and check the version you have manually installed either 2 or 3 and away you go.

Then you can install all zip updates and mods the same way.

Check out buildprop-supreme-rohan-v1.1 for some cool tweaks including 120dpi screen settings.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
With any android system, you should ALWAYS wipe at least cache and dalvik after flashing a rom update. It only takes 5 seconds, and can help you avoid big issues.

DON'T use Rom Manager to flash roms, it's just a bad idea. Many devices have been bricked because of that app. Just boot into recovery, install the zip, and wipe cache and dalvik. It only takes an extra 30 seconds to do it through recovery, and will make it so you don't have any issues.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruthienu:
Thanks for all the great advice! It would be nice to have a thread about the stability of the latest nightlies before you do a flash. How do you do a nandroid backup before an update? Does it take a lot of space? How do you do a restore if all doesn't go well?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
There's one in the dev section.

Boot into recovery, and before doing anything else, go to Backup and Restore, then hit Backup. Backups will probably take about 600mb or so, more if you have a lot of apps on there. You only need to keep one backup on the device, and you can copy the backup off the memory onto a computer if you want to save space.

The same way you would flash a rom. Boot into recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvik, then go to backup and restore, and hit restore.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
The nightlies are basically compiled each night from the cm9 source. Its an automated process so the changes are what was changed in the cm source in the last 24 hours. Usually its nothing major, if its something big you'll probably see an alpha posted on rootzwiki.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nburnes:
DPI fix is all.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ve6ay:
Any changes you make to your build.prop file will be erased on an update from one nightly to the next (or CM9 to another nightly). Anything else - apps, gapps, settings, etc), should not change.

Personally, I've become used to the 160DPI default, which works quite nicely on the latest nightly. Yes, there isn't as much screen space, but I don't mind. I don't have THAT many things I need on the screen at once - one widget, half a dozen or so app shortcuts, that's about it for my main home screen. So 160 works pretty well, especially for office docs and kindle reading.
