hi prasket...

I am sorry if i sounded like i did not do any searching or research on resolving this issue..

In fact i have been searching on the webby for the whole day looking for the answers and found many.. but none were able to work for me... It may be due to my limited capabilities in understanding and therefore i am seeking for help in this forum...

I believe the purpose of this forum is to share and help out everyone in any way possible.... Its good that you have bought a KF for your finacee but i dun see any rationale in boasting here what you have achieved... not everyone is able to resolve everything just by doing some research like you.

I am just a sincere noob KF user who is looking for some help... Appreciate if i can have some constructive comments instead... thanks

My suggestion would be to take some time out to read over the first two posts in this thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1552547

The first will help you get some basic understanding of how these pieces fit together. If you are using Windows, the second makes sure you have the device drivers installed correctly. Once you've done that, you'll want to set the bootmode on your device back to normal using KFU. Provided the Kindle Fire software is working correctly, you should be able to reboot and get it working normally again.

B. More importantly, if you asked this in 20 different thread in 26 minutes..you damn sure can type fast! :)

C. In my experience, Nandroids do not include the modem / radio. Flash the radio you want first (to be on the safe side) and then flash the nandroid.

Yep, the L5 modem is not good for happiness.

Best to flash UCALC3.

Lot easier if flash back a good GB ROM that has RADIO AND KERNEL then you can just nandroid back to your favorite settings.

My 2 cents.

ok so my NT updated to 1.4.2 And i need it back to 1.4.1 so i can root it. I have no SD card so i cant use any method that involves a SD Card please help
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] YALORT:
Go to this link, I didn't use an SD card, I download the file, the place it like I would a manual update for B&N (open nook drive on computer and place it outside all the folders) then I restart my nook. It downgraded, hope it works for you too. =)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
sd cards are as little as 5 bucks from newegg.com... They are very useful. If you are planning on rooting and hacking, it would be a good idea to have a place to put a backup... just my 2 cents...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liljoey112:
ok thank you will try rep+

do you have any cheap one you can recommend
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cartisdm:
Amazon sells tons of them but the 2GB is all you need and they are dirt cheap. http://www.amazon.com/Sandisk-2GB-M...LL02/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333977157&sr=8-1

That's $.99 and $4 shipping but shipping is free if you have Prime or buy other stuff with your order and break $25.

Like Albert said, if you're going to be doing any rooting/hacking with your toys you should get an SD card
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] NikkieL:
I was updated to 1.4.2 when BN re-paritioned my internal drive, went home put in the root sdcard created from Albert' s instructions and had it rooted in 5 minutes. I later did a re-install from a back-up to 1.4.0 but ran into google market issues and ended up doing a factory restore back to 1.4.2 and re-rooting. Still sitting at 1.4.2.

looks like this is an inherent bug on Android.

Any fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
Before calling it a bug:

Have you checked your settings on outgoing mail? Right servername, port, authentication, security settings and so on?

I haven't heard this one before. That alone is not proof or anything, just that I would suspect with a bug that more people where complaining in these forums.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blinkjona:
Oh yes sure did checked my settings , remove account, reboot etc

having looked around for a fix i did noticed many others having the same problem right from G1.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] atomicd10:
Hello,

I have a Bionic Lapdock that doesn't want to work with my Bionic and I was hoping that somebody might be able to point me in the right direction.

When I connect my phone to the Lapdock it will turn off the phone's screen, turn on the Lapdock screen, and show an animated red circle with the Motorola logo in it to show that it's loading (this occurs only once when the phone is first inserted or if the service is terminated and needs to reload). The background will load on the Lapdock screen, show all of the icons on the bottom, the phone status, etc, but the Lapdock screen will turn off in about 5 seconds and the keyboard and trackpad on the Lapdock do not seem to do anything. Typically the only screen I see on the Lapdock is the screensaver (the red circle with the Motorola logo inside of it that moves around the screen bit by bit) or the screen is off entirely. I have noticed that occasionally a trackpad will appear on my phone's screen and it will allow me to move the mouse cursor on the Lapdock screen for a few seconds before the Lapdock screen turns off again.

At one point I did have my phone rooted, but the 902 update broke it a while ago, and now I don't care to root it again because we can't use rooted phones and do various work-related functions with them (Citrix, Touchdown, etc).

But anyway, I first tried to do a full reinstall of 902 using RSD 5.6 (using the 682 MB file newvrz_xt875_5.9.902.xt875.verizon.en.us_cfc_01.xml.zip). The reinstall worked, but the same problem occurred with the Lapdock. I also cleared cache and did another factory reset to no avail. So then I downgraded to 893 using the full reinstall (file vrz_xt875_5.5.893.xt875.verizon.en.us_cfc_01.xml.zip which is around 671 MB), and the problem persisted. I then did an OTA update from 893 to 902, and the problem still occurs. I have also tried using an external mouse and keyboard, and those don't seem to have any impact either (the mouse lights up for a second when initialized, but then turns off).

I'm using the "MOTBIOLAPDK" if that makes any difference.

I'm not sure what else I can try, other than bring my phone and/or dock in to a Verizon store to see if it works with one of their phones (I bought the lapdock from that $80 sale that 1saleaday was having on eBay the other day).

Any help with this issue would be very much appreciated! Thanks for reading.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Embelishd:
same issue

Hope we can get an answer to this. I have the same problem. I used Pathsaver to get to 902. I also bought my lapdock off 1SaleADay.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] atomicd10:
OH GOD I AM ABOUT TO CHOKE A *****

The extended battery doesn't easily allow for a complete connection with the USB port. I just had to take the extended battery off and put the stock battery on, and now *everything* works just fine. Everywhere I read it said that the Verizon extended battery was "fully compatible" with this dock. Oh well, hopefully this post will help out somebody in the same boat.

Also, you aren't connected to the USB port on the dock until a "Select Application to Launch" pop-up message appears on your phone (when the dock is closed, anyway). I had to press down harder on the phone to insert it properly than I thought would be necessary.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] blackmetalbuick:
This is exactly what is happening with mine (purchased from the same website), I am starting to think these were on sale for a reason. :mad:

I thought it was an issue with a custom ROM (Eclipse 2.2) so I spent my whole evening messing with it before finally using Dhacker's utility to get back to 902 stock. Wasn't thrilled to have to go back to stock but I thought alright, finally I can use my new lapdock for the rest of the night. Nope. Same thing. Exactly as you described, it shows the Moto start up animation for a second, then the screen will load but the keyboard and trackpad won't work, then it goes to the Moto logo screen saver, and the phone screen in the dock turns back on and the phone just goes back to normal. I have no extended battery or case on the phone so I fear my issue is not that my phone just isn't in the dock all the way.

Ideas anyone? Or did I get a garbage lapdock?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] atomicd10:
UPDATE:

It looks like the extended battery on my phone masked some other problem. I had it working perfectly for about 45 minutes, but now I can't get it to work again and I'm right back to where I started.

It seems to be a connection issue, because if I push on it a certain way it will *sometimes* pop-up the webtop/"Select application to launch" dialog (it was doing this flawlessly with no extra effort not too long ago, so I don't know WTH is going on).

I used some compressed air on all of the ports, and that didn't help matters at all.

I'm hoping it's something simple that we can fix because I hate returning things.

Did anybody notice if their lapdock was new or used/refurbished? I couldn't really tell with mine, but I did notice that the Lapdock box was a bit banged up and there wasn't anything that indicated that it was actually factory sealed (it appeared like the box had been opened, and the user manual wasn't in the right spot either).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] herolee31:
same problem here

I have the exactly same problem. I bought the lapdock from 1saleaday. Does any one think I can send it to Motorola?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] blackmetalbuick:
I believe I've confirmed mine as actually defective as well. Once in 15 tries of connecting the phone and pushing down really hard will the phone screen show the "select application to launch" menu. I also noticed on the lapdock, on the dock part that flips open to accept the phone, right underneath the two connectors gets very hot to the touch when I have the phone connected, like there's a short or something going on. Practically burned my thumb.

Mine appeared the be brand new, the tabs on the lapdock box had the adhesive stickers over them, everything in the box was sealed (actually now that I think about it the plastic bag over the actual lapdock unit was not sealed).

The booklet mentions a warranty through Motorola. Should we bother trying to work with 1saleaday or just contact Moto?

This sucks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] atomicd10:
Mine didn't get hot to the touch that I can remember when it was briefly working. I didn't have it in my lap though, so I might not have noticed. Right now it's a little warm, but not hot at all.

Mine had a clear plastic adhesive on the tabs, but it looked like regular packing tape on mine.

I would probably try 1saleaday first because they will be more likely to cover shipping expenses (at least I hope they do!). However, I just read their "return policy" which states:

"What is your return policy?

1SaleADay.com does not accept returns. For defective merchandise, notify us by filling out the form on our Contact page within 21 days of delivery for an exchange. Please include your order number, the name of the product, the date of purchase, and the issue you are having with the item. If the defective item is out of stock, it can be returned for a full refund.   "

I'm guessing there's a good chance that they won't have many in stock, so they'll just refund you.

If I can't make heads or tails of this issue in an hour or so, I'll go to a Verizon store tomorrow to see if the Lapdock works with one of their Bionics, and also see if my Bionic works with their Lapdock (provided they have one on display).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] blackmetalbuick:
Heh I was just reading about how terrible the customer service is for that website and that it might take a few weeks to get a refund.

I was thinking about the Verizon Store idea too but don't know if I'll be able to make it tomorrow. Let us know if you end up going or find anything out.

There's actually a couple of Motorola stores in my area, but I'm not sure they'd be able to help at all either. Maybe I will make a few phone calls tomorrow.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] atomicd10:
Another thing that's kind of odd is that you can pair a Bluetooth mouse to the phone and when the Lapdock screen kicks on for that 5 second period you can move the mouse cursor around using the Bluetooth mouse and interact with the Lapdock screen, but no matter what you do it'll still turn off in 5 seconds. Also, I was able to get a regular USB mouse and keyboard working, but ONLY when the Lapdock was working properly for that brief period of time.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] herolee31:
Possible solution

I found a possible solution. I realized that the USB port was a little lower than HDMI port. I dissembled the docking part, pushed the USB port to the same level as the HDMI. IT WORKS PERFECTLY!!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] blackmetalbuick:
Yeah, I'm fairly certain we're on the right track that the issue lies at the part where the phone plugs in. That's why it'll turn off after a few seconds, poor connection.

I've been staring at the lapdock wanting to disassemble it myself because I'm impatient but I'm trying not to mess with it since there's a warranty. I just filled out the contact form for 1saleaday but I'm gonna try calling the Motorola stores in the morning just to see if any of them offer repair services or exchanges instead of having to go through a long process of warranty repair through the mail or waiting for a refund from 1sale.

I've been looking at the dock portion of the device trying to figure out how it comes apart without messing it up. Any tips?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] atomicd10:
Here are some disassembly instructions:

http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/...13&tag=thumbnail-view-selector;get-photo-roto

I will try that with mine as well; the HDMI and USB don't line up the same.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] herolee31:
Somewhere in XDA forum, you can find an Atrix lapdock HDMI mod stuff. I can't recall which tread it was, but it shows detailed instructions for modding.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] blackmetalbuick:
Cool. I might give it a shot I just don't want to leave any visible marks trying to pry out the little covers etc and then not qualify for a warranty if they can see I f'd with it.

---------- Post added at 01:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 AM ----------

Sweeeeet I got mine working by taking the dock apart too. Typing on the lapdock right now. Well I just have the connectors hanging out the back loosely and the plastic is still disassembled so I'll have to see if I can keep it working after it's back together, but damn at least I can use it finally. TIme to go out for a cigarette after fighting with this thing all freakin evening!!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] atomicd10:
I was able to get mine working as well!

It looks like the problem could come back again though, because the metal plate that the USB connector should press up against appears to be at least 1 mm off. I just folded up a small piece of electrical tape and put it in between the USB connector and the metal plate, and another larger piece between the metal plate and the wall, so that it can't get pushed back down again.

Only 7.5 hours later and it's working. Yay

Also, I didn't realize how much of a fingerprint magnet these things are!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] blackmetalbuick:
Yeah the fingerprints are really bad on this thing haha.

I was able to fully reassemble mine and still keep it in working order (for now). Part of the issue for me seemed to be the metallic tape they wrapped around the end of the connectors. The tape on mine actually came up onto the metal part of the connector that comes through the plastic and meets with the phone (marked with the red line in this picture I took), so this metallic tape was kinda getting in the way and preventing the connector from coming through as far as it should. I peeled it back, put everything back in place, and held the USB connector as far forward as I could while I tightened down the metal bridge that goes over it. So far so good.

Also you can kinda see it in the picture but it does actually appear like the wire from the USB connector is getting hot, a small bit of plastic where the wire was resting was even starting to turn brown from the heat. For now I just wrapped it with a few extra layers of tape but looks like I might have a soldering job to do in the future if this wire craps out completely.

Now to see if I can get back on Eclipse 2.2 and still keep everything working.

Thanks for brainstorming together everyone, I was really disappointed that this thing wasn't working.

Trying to get webtop2sd working

Thanks for all contributing to this thread! I also picked up a 1saleaday Bionic lapdock. I just got it yesterday and I am on stock .902 rooted with motofail. Everything seems to work fine but I was *hoping* to get webtop2sd working.

Although it installed just fine I am not seeing any difference running the webtop, i.e. no additional memory etc. If anyone else is familiar with it I'd like to try to get it working. My main goal is just to be able to get a larger remote desktop so I can rdp into work when at conferences (when having the lapdock is an advantage over a full blown laptop).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] atomicd10:
blackmetalbuick - Oddly enough mine hasn't gotten hot yet. I've left the Lapdock screensaver on for 30 minutes and the only part that gets remotely warm on mine is just under the USB port near where the external power cord plugs in (the closest USB port to the power adapter).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jeramyryan:
Not Charging

Wow, it's very depressing to see that so many who ordered the lapdock from 1saleaday are having the same issues. I also ordered it from the site and am having functionality issues. Mine worked for five minutes or so, then I stepped away for a few minutes. When I returned I noticed that the screen was black and that it was no longer charging. Ever since, in addition to not working, it will not charge and the charging light does not come on when plugged in. Anyone else having the same problem?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Embelishd:
The connection seems to be the problem with mine too. When I held down on the phone, I was able to keep it on. I'm going to open it up and see what I can do. Thanks for the help.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] skay:
I must be one of the lucky ones ;-) I have an extended battery but have been happy with the standard battery life since I keep it docked overnight and in the car dock to/from work. I wouldn't be suprised to find out some batch of units were failing due to connector problems and they found their way to wootoff, 1saleaday, etc.

I am still looking for any info on webtop2sd for the bionic. I am a newbie to

webtop2sd so maybe I am missing something. 2.0.1 installed fine and I granted root, the partitioning, formatting all went fine. I just don't see any difference using the webtop, do I need to boot into webtop2sd partition? I also realize this simply may not work at all with .902 but I thought it would have presented a problem during the installation? Any help is appreciated.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] blackmetalbuick:
Im back on Eclipse 2.2 today and webtop works fine. Sooo I did all that wiping my phone and going back to stock for nothing since the issue was just with the lapdock, but oh well now I've learned how to use pathsaver to get back to stock 902 if I ever need to again.

Webtop is still working fine with the adjustment I made last night. Bummed that the lapdock is pretty slow though, I thought it would be as fast as my phone just with a bigger display. But its pretty laggy doing just about anything. Is the webtop2sd I keep hearing about supposed to improve this at all? Oh well its still a pretty cool concept and im sure ill get some use out of it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] skay:
Thanks for the update BMB. I am running stock 5.9.902 rooted and webtop is working fine, though it is a bit laggy. Still I am not complaining for $85. It will be plenty useful for conferences, travel and starbucks surfing.

Webtop2sd is supposed to move the webtop app to a partition on the SD card and expand memory to sd partition size. Since stock webtop is limited to 900M you can't do much. I think people have had success running webtop2sd on Eclipse, but not sure if it works on the .902 release. Let me know if you have success, it installed fine but I don't seem to have any more memory running webtop after installation.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] needshelp101:
Safe strap doesn't allow webtop to work. You need to install cwm and boot strap instead. I had the same problem. But it does work :)

Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify, are you saying webtop w/ webtop2sd works with cwm? I have webtop working fine on 5.9.902 but don't see any changes after installing webtop2sd? Do I need a boot manager - cwm - to get booted into the webtop2sd partition? Sorry for the newb questions....

Update

So I took the lapdock apart and inserted the micro sd and hdmi in as far as I could, and same thing is happening.....brief connection then back to screensaver. I had high hopes but those were smashed so don't know what to do now.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jumphour:
Mine works great, other than the horrible lag and memory error. LOL I did notice that mine has a sticker on the top right that says the red charging light only operates when the handset is plugged in, if that helps you any. It may be charging, but you don't know it if you don't have the phone mounted.
