[Motorola Photon 4G] TheCrispytoast:
So I finally rooted my Electrify(photon), I have insurance and **** and i've taken my phone scuba diving so I really dont care if I brick it at this point(just a reason for me to get a new phone).

Basically my question is, How can i go about getting an aftermarket ICS on it? I can use cynagon right? Someone link me please...? Can I use this? If so, What exactly is unlocking the bootloader?

Im still new at all the terminology, it's been forever since i've been in the Android dev scene....

Thanks a ton XDA!

[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
To flash CM9, or any unlocked ROM you need to install a custom recovery, usually clockworkmod. Idr about the electrify, but for the photon you need to flash the pudding unlocked file and run a few CMD lines in order to unlock the bootloader(kills 4g btw) and then you can install a custom recovery and be ready to flash unlocked ROMS. (same general process for electrifiy but iirc different files)IF you are on Android 2.3.5 your SOL.. For the time being atleast as you can't unlock its bootloader. QBKing has a few videos about the Photon on how to unlock, install CWM, and flash ROMS. There REALLY useful for beginners and people who need to be refreshed on what exactly to do. Don't quote me on the exact steps as I have a Photon and never looked too in depth about the electrify, wait for someone else to chime in to verify or search around.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheCrispytoast:
You were a lot of help so far, and yes I am running stock 2.3.5...I installed cwm, but I have yet to unlock the boot loader, and as you stated, I don't think I'll be doing that anytime soon. But what exactly does unlocking the bootloader do...?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
My understanding is this...

Photon and Electrify 2.3.4 can unlock the bootloader.

Photon 2.3.5 can run something called bootstrap. (There is no legit Photon 2.3.5 from Sprint, but some bleeding-edge MoPho's have flashed 2.3.5 anyway and found themselves in a world of pain.)

Electrify 2.3.5 can do neither. I asked about it here and as of now 143 people have looked at it but haven't replied... Then again, it's the weekend, but I also asked in a topic about the bootstrap a week ago, and nobody there knew either.

So I think with Electrify 2.3.5 rooting is all you can do.

And that's fine, Electrify is beast anyway.

We're supposed to get official ICS in Q2 2012 (or was it Q3?). I don't know fiscal quarters, but Q1 starts in Spring, I think, so I guess summer or late summer?

I don't care about ICS and I don't see why I should. I change launchers weekly and I'm always rotating software on my phone. I'm more interested in getting the bootloader unlocked, but I don't think Motorola has any plans for that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
While it's true you can't unlock the bootloader on 2.3.5 yet, that means that you can't flash kernels and some roms. There are some that work with a locked bootloader. Loki has an Imperium version. Rocko has some versions for locked phones. And there is this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1575259 from loki. It will strip the bloat and blur from your phone, and give it some tweaks. This with the launcher of your choice makes for a great phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
Exactly what post above said. I'll just add on saying that without an unlocked bootloader there is no way to get ICS. Use locked roms and try different launchers and you can still have a sweet phone until official ics or we unlock 2.3.5
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheCrispytoast:
What is blur and bloat?? And what ROM is best..? As far as locked boot loaders go...
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Crispy, Blur is Motorola's enhancement suite for Android. It contains Motorola Home, and all the Motorola apps like the gallery, music player, and widgets. And the stupid lock screen. (I hate Motorola's lock screen. A lot.) HTC's is called Sense and Samsung's is called TouchWiz. They all have one. Very few Android phones are straight-up Android.

Bloat is anything on top of AOSP (Android Open Source Project) and the Google apps. This includes Blur/Sense/TouchWiz, technically, though most don't consider those bloat. If you have US Cellular, City ID is the epitome of bloat. It doesn't work as advertised, it's always there, and it will nag you to pay for it sometimes. Bloat on US Cellular phones also includes Tone Room Deluxe, Your Navigator Deluxe, My Contacts Backup, and the QuickOffice demo. Sprint has a whole other set of bloat apps.

Bricky -- So I don't need bootstrap? Or I do?

Crispy again: On your home screen, hit Menu, Settings, and then About Phone. Near the bottom look for "Android version". If it says 2.3.4 below, you can unlock your bootloader. If it says 2.3.5, you cannot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheCrispytoast:
I know ha, and I'm on 2.3.5 just like youuu:/ but it appears that there are like someee rom's that can be used without unlocking the bootloader...
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Yes you need bootstrap. Root your phone, install bootstrap, make nandroid backup in bootstrap , install rom = profit :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheCrispytoast:
You need an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER to install a ROM my friend....There are a few decent ROM's that dont require an UL loader, but to get a really nice ROM an unlocked bootloader appears to be greatly needed. I really wish Moto wasn't such a giant douche.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phince1:
You have cwm installed on a 2.3.5 Electrify with a locked bl??
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
Im sure he's meaning bootstrap in that post.. you can't install custom recovery while locked..
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheCrispytoast:
Yes, I ment bootstrap.

Also, how does nandroid backups work? Does it backup EVERYTHING? whats the difference in outcome with Titanium backup VS recovery nandroid backups...?
[Motorola Photon 4G] zikario507:
i really want ics on my electrify.. but i ve a electgrify 2.3.5 with locked bootloader..

is it possible to do it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] moneymakes:
I run AOKP build 38 on my mopho, it's a little buggy. My advice is to run one of the slimmed down stock ROMS mentioned previously. Wait for the official build, then there will be a bunch of devs making perfectly tuned apps.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Universal DeBlur-DeBloat Live ROM Conversion is the only ROM that requires root ONLY. It was written to help those that can't even run bootstrap. Think of it as Imperium Initiative without the theme change and custom kernel.
[Motorola Photon 4G] zikario507:
ICS is official announcied from motorola to moto electrify?

No, only Photon.

[HTC Sensation] alex6600:
Hi everyone.

Buy sensation two weeks ago.

And noticed little spot (or bubble) on screen near ambient (which is under glass) sensor.

Is there malfunction?
[HTC Sensation] Prabash:
Looks more like it has happened due to dust or something, which is a more common issue when it comes to the Sensation..

Don't worry mate! it doesn't look like a malfunction :)
[HTC Sensation] alex6600:
Dust on top of the screen.Forget to clean the screen before take foto :)

Spot is under screen.
[HTC Sensation] Prabash:
You see there's a common problem in Sensation of dust getting under the screen..It's a manufacturing defect available in many Sensations..There are one or two such bubbles in my phone as well..but they are not that visible..So that's what I referred to by saying it may have caused due to dust..;)

So no worries mate!
[HTC Sensation] alex6600:
Thanks.Is bubbies on visible part of display?
[HTC Sensation] Prabash:
Well, yeah there can be some bubbles underneath the middle of the screen as well..but as it's a manufacturer default we have no control over it..you can avoid the situation to an extent by using a case that covers the bezel of the phone..

and if there are lots of dust underneath the screen you can return the device and get a replacement, but that won't be an option if there are only little..

you can refer to this thread which discusses about this issue:

Hi, Can someone please tell me whether there is any app or a mod that can be used to make video calls to a phone number? Not like using Skype or GoogleTalk with wifi or data connection, but to a phone number on my contact list using the carrier? (As available for instance in Galaxy SII etc.)
[HTC Sensation] deron37129:
Ull hve to use an app like tango or somthn or if u hve qik vid
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
Both of those using a data connection (aka 3G/4G).
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
Best I have found is oovoo
[HTC Sensation] Prabash:
Thank you for your replies..I checked them out already but all those apps require data connection to be enabled and the other person to have the similar app in order to make video calls..Not the option I have been looking for..:)
[HTC Sensation] yahhboy:
I don't think any exist that video call over the carriers voice connection itself, is that what you mean? are you trying to make a video to video chat over a carrier's voice service?

Sent from my sensational sensation 4g
[HTC Sensation] Prabash:
Yep..As for instance available in Nokia Symbian devices and even in Samsung Android Devices with front facing cameras..As far as I am aware Samsung is the only brand that integrates that option to their Android devices..Others just don't :confused:..

And yes you are correct..I don't think there's any such app either, that's why I thought there might be a Mod available, which will enable such a function..
[HTC Sensation] deron37129:
I thnk evn wit the samsung devices still use data ion think there is any way to do video over a voice connection
[HTC Sensation] Prabash:
Nope..They don't use data connection to make video calls over the carrier. The only requirement is to have 3G signals and you can make video calls to any other phone just like taking a voice call..
[HTC Sensation] deron37129:
Thn in u do need a data connection cause other wise with out 3g u couldn't mke the call?
[HTC Sensation] yahhboy:
Lol :)

Sent from my sensational sensation 4g
[HTC Sensation] Prabash:
I am talking about the 3g signals my good sir, not the data connection. Please be astute enough to learn the difference prior to commenting. Data connection refers to when you're connected to the internet, hence you can have a data connection with 2g signals, as well as 3g or 4g signals. But I was denoting to carrier video calling, sir, which only requires 3G SIGNALS, but the data connection. When using data connection you expend DATA as in MBs or KBs. Quite the contrary, when video calling through 3G SIGNALS, sir, you spend CREDITS of your phone, resembling when you're making a voice call.
[HTC Sensation] yahhboy:
How do you know you are not using data during the call?

Sent from my sensational sensation 4g
[HTC Sensation] melo563:
I don't see how it is possible to me a 3g connection or signals and not be using data if you do not have a data connection you would not get 3g symbol so how do you figure you're not using a data connection symbol of the bars refers to your connection weather it is dada or your phone signal strength for calls so what do you mean your exclamation did not explain anything how can somebody help you with and explanation that didn't explain anything
[HTC Sensation] Prabash:
Well, I guess this video would explain things :):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiVWtOd-vDw

It shows the type of video calling I was referring to. Notice on the video that there's no any data connection (as in an internet connection through you APN or WiFi). He just had 3g signals and he made the video call using the phone dialler just like making a voice call, not via any 3rd party application.

And I didn't say it doesn't use any data, it certainly should. But, you cannot compare it with when you are using Skype or other apps for video calling. For instance, if you are having a 1GB data plan on your mobile, when you use skype to make video calls, you would spend from that 1GB. But when you are video calling from your carrier, you won't spend data from that 1GB, but your phone credits (Like when you are making a voice call).

The advantage of this is that you can make video calls to most other 3g devices that doesn't support 3rd party applications like Skype. This feature is there in most 3g phones, like on the video it was a N82. I don't think N82 supports Skype or any other 3rd party video calling app, so there's no way that you can make a video call to a N82 using your Sensation, right? But if this feature is there, you will be able to do that. Hope you will get what I am trying to say.

So I recently purchased [what seems to be] an HTC Sensation XE (G18).

This is where I bought it from and all the info is here:

everbuying.com/product116393.html

I have it rooted but I tried everything and I can't seem to find a solution to getting clockworkmod recovery. The closed thing I can get to recovery is the stock android recovery. I cant even access Fastboot, bootloader, or hboot. I know there's a solution somewhere!!! Can someone help? plzzzz ))=

Other Info:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ahmun_Ra:
Hi guys

I have a bit of a problem and maybe some of you can figure out whats wrong...

I have a bug on my phone that when is off the power still shows the charging icon (well its more like starts and then ends charging not always the charging icon).

The phone seems to be working well and i can't send it to repare... 1 month of waiting is a bit too much.

Now my real question is that on GB theres no intrusion on this but in the ICS its always showing a error message and i can't do a thing on the phone until i press ok.

Does anyone knows a way (by setings or by any program or even coding something) to remove this irritating notification?

Thanks and hope you guys give me ideas of how to fix this

See attachment to see the box...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
It's annoying, I agree with you.

I suppose you have already asked people in your Rom thread for help? And no-one was able to provide any?

As a last resort, I'd go all the way back to rooted GB, then flashed LP1 Repack, then reflashed your current ICS Rom. It's a long way, but you're sure to get a clean start with no annoying notifications.

I'm not saying that you have to do it - that's just what I'd do.

Should you decide to follow this advice, this is how you can get back to GB safely:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ahmun_Ra:
Thanks for the quick reply but this is not a problem with bad ROM installation... What I wanted was a way to remove this notifications box in ICS, cause this problem I also have it in GB only in GB does not show up this stupid dialog box every 2 seconds...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zylor:
Easy! Happened to me once!

Reboot in cwm and wipe: cache, dalvik cache, batterystats and reboot! Done! :D

This can happen when a new rom is installed.. so the batterystats becomes "corrupted" and starts to report wrong voltages and wrong temperatures.

I know the steps that i provided you will solve it!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zylor:
Did it help?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ahmun_Ra:
Hmmmm it also happened to you??? And when the phone was off and unplugged did it also show the charging symbol?

I thought it is hardware related cause it assumes its charging even when its unplugged and also when I reverted back to GB stock Rom and a costum Rom...

I'll go try it now and report if it helped.

Thanks a lot man, hope it will fix it...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krazman325:
If the above advice doesn't correct your problem, try cleaning the USB port and contacts CAREFULLY. You may have some debris shorting out your contacts.

Do a search. People were reporting similar problems several months ago.

Good Luck!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ahmun_Ra:
That may be a solution... With what can I clean it? Alcohol it's good for that? I don't think that I have anything this small to fit it the usb port to clean it up... I'll manage something cause the earlier advise didn't seem to.help :S
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krazman325:
Alcohol should work. But I would just try air first. That might clear out any "pocket dust" that may be in the port. Be careful...that port might be fragile!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ahmun_Ra:
As u sugested i've given a surch over the forum and i found that this is a too much normal issue to be let unknown to the responsables of Samsung not take care of this... I've seen different kind of work arounds since a replacement for the USB port (guess it's not's needed to replace the all mainboard to fix the USB port) to blow dry the phone. I'll try with a blow dryer but most of the users say that it didn't fixed it... Only opening the phone and cleaning it IP inside out. I'm not that at ease to opening my phone without breaking anything lololol so that i won't do, bit if USB ports are not to expensive and easy to install in a last resort i'll buy one and go see if there is a soul that knows how to do it ;)

Thanks a lot for the help

I did replace my N900 micro USB port!

When i got my phone back it got a scratch in the screen! (not made by my friend)

Guess what?

The replacement of the micro usb port was made by a friend and the screen replacement was on Nokia and Nokia didn't saw it was opened by another person, and they said my warranty wasn't voided by anyone! (i didn't told them about the micro usb port of course)

But that's another story!

Hope you get it fixed!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michalurban:
Hi,

interesting thing during my test of battery tonight (although it happend only once yet). I woke up (sync off for the night) and I saw I had no data connection (2G). Trying to manually sync didnt help, RestartConnections app didnt help, manually turning mobile data off and on didnt help, even restart didnt help. Then, after few minutes after the restart, I enabled autosync and it did successfully "push thru", E icon appeared near the signal bar and connection was there. Weird. I had Nexus S for few months now and it never happened.

Also, I was using Tasker to manually enable autosync for 2 minutes every 15 minutes and check for wifi every 15+3 minutes (so it wont interefere with the sync). But syncs went ok and no profile of mine has to do anything with mobile data. So I dont believe its relevant.

I woulndt be probably speaking about this but I use the same nandroid backup rom for all my testing (I restore it during the evening so the battery tests would all begin with the same software combination) and this never happened.
