Yeah, I'm just waiting for an easier way to s-off than the current wire trick method. Still don't trust myself to do it properly.
[HTC Rezound] phylo1:
I have tried this a few times and the RUU update always fails with this dialog.. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Do I need to have the stock recovery installed to get it to work?
[HTC Rezound] slosrtnick:
Did you relock the bootloader first? I think that needs needs to be done first.

Nick
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
Yes you need to relock your bootloader before running the RUU file. You can either use the .exe file (easier) or put the zip onto your SD card and run it through the bootloader.
[HTC Rezound] scubasteve85:
Did you update your firmware to run cleanrom or are you using the old firmware patch?
[HTC Rezound] slosrtnick:
I think I'm running the old firmware patch. How can I check to see which firmware I'm on?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ultraman1966:
Hi, I've currently been looking for a replacement to my Galaxy S (had it 16 months now) which is beginning to creak a bit due to its lack of RAM. Anyway, that aside it's still a great phone barring the recent official update but switching from Touchwiz to GoLauncher solved the issues.

Anyway, I saw this deal for the Atrix and lapdock. Basically want to know if it's worth it; I am looking at this from the perspective of a consumer who uses the smartphone casually. I was hoping to use the lapdock as a sort of netbook; browsing the net and playing videos, mainly on the couch or when I'm mobile/travelling).

So I guess the real questions are;

1) With Quad Cores becoming more prevalent this year, would it be prudent to get the Atrix at this price?

2) Has the lapdock had much software updates? I mean it uses firefox which I've abandoned on desktop in favour of Chrome. Also, issue reviews said that the browser was fairly sluggish.

Originally I was thinking of getting a cheap 7in Tablet (like the soon to be out Tab 2 7.0) and I know that they're not directly comparable to this lapdock (which doesn't have touch screen and no multitouch on its pad etc) but what are your opinions?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron.a:
it really depends on how much work you want to put into it. out of the box it's a little boring and slow, but with for example nottachtrix + gentop2 it's pretty amazing. we have high hopes of getting an official ICS in q3 (i believe is the consensus) should that happen atrix will be viable for another year at least. as of now, i don't think webtop has ever been updated by moto. you need to rely on the community devs for upgrades and honestly these guys have come through in ways the official corp dev team never could.

example: unlocked bootloader =)

yeah, like the previous poster said, that's a little steep tho
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ultraman1966:
Well, you have to bear in mind with British prices we ALWAYS get ripped off. Fact is the Atrix is still 300 pounds or more from most websites/stores so the fact that this comes with the lapdock actually makes it a "cheap" deal.

I will stress though that I intend to use the phone and dock for media consumption, I don't really need it to do work and hence I wanted to know if anyone else has had it for similar reasons.

Also in the UK a Galaxy S2 still commands about £380 so the Atrix would be 75% of its price or there abouts; I'm sort of leaning towards it but now that I realise that it doesn't have a webcam I think I'll put my money to a new phone (possibly a Nexus or the Note) as I want to use Skype to do video call. I still can't believe Motorola originally wanted to charge nearly 300 pounds for the lapdock... it's a screen with a battery, keyboard and two usb ports. You can get a netbook and charge for that... what were they thinking?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jontseng:
Great phone, don't count on the lapdock

Yo from London.

I've been using my Atrix (bought in US) back in Blighty for a year and its a great device. The way I think about it is this: Last year's high end phones effectively become this year's mid-range phones. So the Atrix is basically equivalent to a new mid-range (say £200-250) phone. I think you'd tend to pay about £50 less than you'd pay for a newly release mid-range phone though given the Atrix is pretty low-profile, older device.

But I think as a phone you can't fault it. The Tegra 2 is still up to snap and if you slap on a brand new ROM (I have Neutrino based on CM7, its awesome) it feels like a brand new device. The BIG advantage it has over a mid-range phone though is the battery life - REM MOTO put a big-ass battery in here. Add in a properly tweaked third party ROM and this thing becomes an absolute battle tank as regards lastability. Do not underestimate this!

The downside is the Atrix is probably coming to the end of its support life re: OS updates. As a rule of thumb you'd expect an android device to get the next one major OS update (Atrix has actually done OK as its gotten both Gingerbread and it'll get ICS - this was because it came at the tail end of the Froyo era). Getting a new mid-range phone means you should be OK for Jellybean but there is zero chance you'll get that on Atrix. It's up to you as to whether this is an issue. TBH I always skin with ADW Launcher EX so I'm pretty ambivalent as to the OS version. There is an argument that new OS updates haven't added anything meaningful since Froyo brough Flash support (ironically the one key ICS-exclusive app - Chrome - actually takes this away). I don't think my world would end if I couldn't get Jellybean - but that's your call.

The last issue is the Lapdock. TBH don't go out assuming the world on this one. Its sluggish and if you want to use third-party ROMs based on CM7 that will break lapdock support (you can mirror HDMI /w keyboard+mouse fine on CM7 now but its a bit of a kludge). If you're buying Atrix particularly for the lapdock functionality (rather than as a bonus feature) I'd think twice. The wildcard here is that its rumours ICS will rehash the lapdock functionality and make it native Android a la Transformer Prime. That would make me reassess the lapdock - but atm its only an option.

My advice would be to get the Atrix now as a daily driver. Its a great phone - as I said an absolute battle-tank in everyday use. The current mid-range field doesn't have much to recommend it so I think you will come in quids ahead.

All the best

Jonathan
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ultraman1966:
Interesting view points there. I was only going to get the lap dock because it's included at Handtec and Expansys which feature the lowest prices online (from a reputable retailer) for a new Atrix.

I see the lapdock as "bonus", something I can use on a couch when I just want to do some net browsing.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] killathenoob:
Just came across this new warranty program from Zagg they claim to cover your phone for 2 years no matter what you do to it. unlock bootloader, sim unlock, s-off custom roms they will still cover it. there warranty covers water damage physical damage and even software bricks and its ony $99 for 2 years of coverage.

May be worth it for some devs trying to achive unlocked bootloaders or s-off where the process is risky of bricks.

This is where I first seen it and at the bottom of the page it says "even covers jailbroken and unlocked phones"

Thanks OP. Does anyone know if it is transferable, say if I sell my phone before 2 years?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] The_Zodiac:
where do you see that it covers unlocking bootloaders and with customer roms cuz i dont ?

"Unlimited claims may be filed up to the original purchase price of the smart phone or tablet" im not sure what they mean by that, like what value would they be using to calculate against original purchase price?

a disadvantage is "Complete your claim online or by phone, ship your busted gadget to us, and we'll get it back to you in just a few days"

which means you ship it to the, and we get it back "a few days" later

"3-5 business day turnaround"

advantage, cheap!

also just noticed says nothing about lost phones :(

edit: called and confirmed they don't cover lost phone.

Tempted to go for this but with my luck I'd lose it
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sennant:
Dug a little deeper the $59 deductible is ONLY FOR screen damage or water damage. It says all other repairs are 0 deductible (that includes software issues).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] The_Zodiac:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rfree2340:
It looks like Zagg does their extended warranty services through Warrantech (after December 31st, 2011, if you click on the "File a Claim" button it says this). Not sure if that is good or bad...

Oh, thats why, it is iDevice only, my bad.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
Square Trade is similar. $79 for 1 year., $129 for 2. Doesnt cover lost phones. I guess the reason they dont is because they have no way of locking it down. If i'm not mistaken assurion thru ATT can have the IMEI disabled or something.. atleast thats what i heard. That way they arent gettin people trying to scam them.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] The_Zodiac:
common misconception, on networks like att (sim card based) they actually dont have any way to block them.

networks like sprint (cdma) they can

(I know they are planning on something in the future but haven't heard of anything currently)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] The_Zodiac:
has anyone tried this service out in general?

im considering it just to have a warranty on my 2nd year, plus much cheaper if i drop or water damage.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ady999:
Hi I'm Andy

I just got my phone a month ago, all ready unlocked bootloader, rooted, flashed doomlords doomkernel v22.

On this post I will help navigate you how to root your Xperia arc s for newbies, okay lets go.

I found this website http://xdaforums.com/showthread.PHP?t=1294564 this will direct you to unlock your bootloader from Sony Ericsson, follow the instructions. Another website to checkout Is www.android-advice.com

You don't need the SDK tools from developer.android.com

You need laptop or computer, internet connection, USB cable for your arc s.

Keep the xda-developers window open as you will need it for more instructions, i will add these soon, files you need to download: fastboot_with_Android_USB_file_zhw325.rar, NOTE YOU NEED TO USE GOOGLE TRANSLATE FOR VEIWING THIS WEBSITE http://115.com/file/dn020jv4, RootXperia_zhw325.zip http://115.com/file/e6vwvj79, this is the recoveryarc.img, you get this here http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=743894&d=1318108733, i accidentally bricked my phone once it was routed deleting bloatware, I recommend not deleting any Sony Ericsson files, if you brick your phone it can be fixed, you can get your stock os back, removing bloatware, just get the correct bloatware file list for removing them.

Okay congratulations you should now be rooted

Note to overclock CPU you will need doomkernel v22, I will instruct on this on a other thread, Thanks, hope you get it, software I use, updated superuser, titanium backup, root explorer, quadrant for testing CPU, graphics, etc and set cpu

Please hit the thanks box on bottom of post if you think it was helpful, have a nive day.
