[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banes:
I realize there is a search feature, and I realize there are millions of guides out there, and I have read through the vast majority that I could find. I am no stranger to reading through these forums, and updating, rooting, flashing, and all that jazz.

However, it has been a while since I updated so I am only on 1.8.3, rooted, and locked. It seems everything I could find assumes that you are already on 2.3.4, or describe methods which later on were found could potentially brick your phone if you were to flash using RSDlite

So my question is: how do I safely get to latest firmware unlocked (or specifically NottachTrix4G Latest Version) while bypassing all the bs bricking associated with 1.8.3

Here is what I think, and please correct me if I am wrong:

1) unlock using this guy: Automatic bootloader Unlock http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1182871&highlight=4+5+141

(or should be using Pudding instead?? I was concerned since that used RSDlite)

2) upgrade to 2.3.4 using this guy: http://briefmobile.com/download-android-2-3-4-gingerbread-for-motorola-atrix-4g

(or should I go straight to step 3?? and get the latest version through NottachTrix4G?)

3) Install RomRacer here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1204500

4) Flash NottachTrix4G using RomRacer here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1567241

Does this sound correct? Are there any missing steps? I was also wondering how to have the cleanest possible install as I am willing to wipe everything on my phone. Any input would be much appreciated and thanked appropriately

Does anyone know who to revert back to the stock bootloader? I am running Flexreaper and have TWS recovery installed. I was seeing if I could get back to stock from my Gen2 to get the Official ICS update.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] flskio:
I need too, please. I have to send it on warranty.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] cheeb:
You should be able to just flash the stock rom (014)..this should reset your bootloader back to pre-unlocked state
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] flskio:
thanx

no luck. flashing stock rom revert only the recovery. I think we need a image too flash as in unlocking bootloader procedure
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] eww245:
The Fastboot&Recovery.zip has a btl-a100.sh script, just run that and you should be good to go.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] PeteSeiler2010:
I would be very careful doing this. If your running an ICS build like Flex Reaper and you try to revert to the a100 bootloader like that you will more than likely end up with a bricked tablet. Just be cautious!

Flashing the stock. 014 Rom should take care of it, like cheeb said.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] flskio:
ciao!

a second installation of stock rom has been successful. now it seems everything as stock.rady to RMA.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] ponjanek:
if you used zn's unblock procedure, it also came with a way to return it back to the locked. The scripts came with an a100 set and an a200 set. The a100 pushed the locked and a200 the unlocked bootloader. I've ran it back and forth a few times also after a factory reset. It worked seemlessly Hope this helps.

Can you provide a how-to install ubuntu on the gtab? or provide a link to which instructions you followed to install it? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jackqin:
2 steps:

ubuntu rootfs on tf card;

flash the attached zImage file with:

heimdall flash --kernel zImage
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] locerra:
Fyi, if you can build a kernel with sec_log support, you can get this bootloader info as well (on /proc/last_kmsg). I backported sec_log to the hc kernel from the galaxys2 ics source at a couple of points, it is pretty straightforward.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jackqin:
thanks, I just had a look, it's on in my kernel, will check the messages in /proc
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] SirFunk:
Can you provide any details as to what was working and what wasn't? Hardware wise?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jackqin:
I just needed framebuffer console, so I didn't get to X interface, for now, I can say multi-touch device is working, coz I saw touch events.

most other devices should work, since the kernel is from Gary's working one, and I did some minor modifications to let Linux boot.

I'll work on it and try to put together a rather complete rootfs, and update my progress here.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] garydv2002:
OK before anyone blasts me yes I have researched for two days now and feel like I have been run in circles. I have searched XDA and Google to no avail and no I'm not a noob. I myself have a galaxy s2 skyrocket but recently got my wife the infuse and I'm starting to think that was a mistake. OK this is what I've found...

I type in Google how to install CWM recovery on the infuse and every thing I find says it must be rooted first.

Running Android 2.3.6 update thru Samsung kies....

So I type in how to root the infuse and what I find is if you want to root without flashing a new kernal you must have CWM to install a zip file from the SD.

Seems like one big circle. To root my skyrocket was easy as flashing a recovery image in Odin of CWM recovery and opening a super user zip file to root. 5 minutes easy as 1.2.3.

So my questions are..

1. Can I flash a recovery image tar of CWM to the infuse using Odin?

2. If so where can I download the tar file. I already have Odin 1.85 installed on my PC so I don't need that unless the tar comes in a one click.

3. If I can't how can I root and install CWM without flashing a custom kernel?

Please don't give links to nothing heimdel. The last time I used heimdel was with my captivate and I spent 3 days unbricking it.

4. Will the Motorola exploit added in super one click work with Samsung or harm the phone in anyway?

Thanks ahead of time for the help...

[Samsung Infuse 4G] garydv2002:
But is flashing a new kernel the only option for rooting? If it were my phone I would flash away cause I'm a flashaholic but she don't want to lose all her info and have to restore it all. The only reason she wants root is to freeze those very annoying att bloatware apps that aggravate everyone by running all the time and slowing everything down...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Check with jscott. He may know for certain.

Flashing kernel does not alter data.

I made several root via heimdall versions.

Instead of heimdall, basically, if you can Odin an insecure kernel, boot into cwm recovery, you can flash my cwm root package.

It also remove all bloats. Check my uclb3 root thread especially post #2

And as far as I know, on the infuse uclb3, you can't root without an insecure kernel flash in download mode.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] garydv2002:
Well it may cost a phone of I may soft brick it a few times but I'm gonna put my programming skills to the test and see if I cant come up with a one click root to 1. Make life easier for everyone and 2. To make it simple for the noobs to figure out. I'll let you know if my java VB and other languages I know can come up with something. It may take me a while and a lot of lost sleep hair pulling cursing and crying but I'm gonna give it my best effort.. wish me luck cause I'm gonna need it...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jscott30:
For now, the normal exploits used for a one click root option don't work on the stock UCLB3 Gingerbread kernel. As qkster has mentioned, you need an insecure kernel to root UCLB3. Also, there isn't an easy way yet to change the stock recovery to CWM without using a custom kernel zImage that includes it. Check out this HOW-TO that I wrote up for an explanation of what it takes to root UCLB3 Gingerbread. This explains how to temporarily use a custom kernel to achieve root, and also explains how to go back to the stock kernel. None of this removes existing data on the phone.:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1603220

If you don't want to do all of the work required to root UCLB3 on your phone, then you can use qkster's Heimdall one-click packages or my Odin packages that he showed you earlier.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] deathblade:
you can root the infuse with super one click... easiest way to just root it, and also might i add, the infuse is very difficult to hard brick, soft bricks are easy to fix, with odin or hiemdall but i haven't yet heard or seen a case where the infuse is actually hard bricked, now installing cwm is easy as well, just youtube it, very simple and that there should get you on your way to flashing
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jscott30:
Assuming that you are talking about going back to stock Froyo to root with SuperOneClick? As of yet, you can't reliably use SuperOneClick on the latest Gingerbread release. Sounds like the OP wants to directly root UCLB3 Gingerbread.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Now, you're talking. :)

Good luck.

You will need to look at some kernel work.

You may also need to look at the pit files in the unbrick package.

If you can, also look at boot sequences of the galaxy device. Adam Outler did some neat stuff with the galaxy devices.

I am running liquid smooth 1.25 right now. That included lean kernal. But my battery life is horrible.

I lose 1-2% a MINUTE running gps navigation. I was on vacation with a friend and we used his razr to navigate around san francisco literally all day and when we got back to the hotel he had over half battery. He is running stock though, should i switch back to stock?

I played gameboid for an hour and lost about 40% battery power.

I have tried hotplugx and interactivex, no help.

Is the battery life for this phone really that bad?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Take note of your screen on time. And have a look at the other 17 threads about battery life. But to answer your question: yes, it is that bad.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earlyberd:
It's the price you pay for AMOLED screens. Trade it in for a TFT or IPS phone if you want better battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smokerjoker420:
are you running anything else?

are you running anything else in the background? Do you have wifi on? Do you have anything set up for auto updating? Also, were you going in and out of service a lot? I've read many posted about these issues running battery life down. Try checking if your baseband is up to date. I don't know if any of this will help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madeincanon:
Truth. AMOLED screens consume a lot of power.

no issue here (running IC 5.5.0)

good call though, probably the version, could always flash an older one after a nand just to be sure.
[HTC Sensation] kered424:
Behold_this wandered into the HTC Amaze forums (where I'm from) and contributed some down animations, so I decided to return the favor and leave some boot animations that I created recently :)

Instructions (I'm guessing it should be similar to the Amaze)

Download the animation you like

Extract to reveal another zip file and an mp3 file

Rename the zip file to TMOUS_bootanimation.zip (if you download one with both landscape and portrait, rename only the one you want to use)

Rename the mp3 file to android_audio.mp3

Put both files in /system/customize/resources

Open default.xml (found in /system/customize/CID)

Scroll down until you see 'boot animation'

Change audio to "/system/customize/resources/android_audio.mp3"

Change audiostart to "part0"

Reboot and enjoy!

I might not be able to check up on this thread as often as I'd like (I'll most likely be on the Amaze forum), so if you guys run into problems, shoot me a PM or help each other out!

I have been on CM 10.1 for a long time.

2.It seems that down animation is also not working. :crying:

[HTC Sensation] kered424:
I don't use Cyanogenmod, but I would assume that the instructions are similar to the ones I wrote in the first post. If those lines don't exist, then just add them in (For example, if there is no audiostart line, just manually type it in. Same thing for down animation - type it in)
[HTC Sensation] nerdAFK:
After further Google searching.

It seems that it is not possible to add bootsound to CM yet.

Hello, I got my xperia play a couple of days ago and unlocked the bootloaders for it today, It was on 2.3.3 and some old firmware, to my stupidity I installed the KA13 Rom and doomlord kernel, without first updating the firmware.

So now when i turn it on it buzzes and hangs on the sony ericcson logo, any help would be greatly appreciated!

does it comes out with doomlord logo first , if doomlord kernel u just have to push back button when blue led light come out , and you start entering recovery mode , if not you just have to flash to original firmware again.

Now i have another problem though, I went ahead and installed 2.3.4(.64) r800i firmware onto the phone but i cant get wifi in any of the kernel/rom combo's i use even stock/stock wont work. And yes I've tried the doom fixer. Also it shows that i have no baseband, but I'm not using this as a phone only as a portable gaming device
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TessarVarim:
why you use r800i firmware instead of r800x firmware , maybe u flash the wrong firmware

I have 500$ budget for a new phone and i had my eyes on the Sensation for some time now, I see it online for the range of 430$-420$ + 30$ for shipping to Cairo

So its close to the max of my budget considering i will pay tax for it in here, So my question is should i get the Sensation? Does it still worth it? and will it get any future updates? and it seems to be a bit slow on the CPU/GPU side is that true? and IF i should get it what is the right price and from where? If there's a good place selling the International version in Canada for good price i can get my family to get it for me from there, So what do you guys think? :)

BTW the Gnex is off limits due to its pentile screen and 5Mp camera

Hey bro, glad you've decided to get a HTC sensation. One question though, why not get an XE? its newer, bettery battery, plus it comes with awesome ibeats earbuds :-D I mean, in terms of whether or not it will get sense 4, probably not officially but developers here will soon get leaks from HTC to develop sense 4 on root devices. So i would say, yeah if its in your budget, if you're not willing to pay for the HTC one X or the One S, go for the sensation. If rooted, its capability is practically unmatched:D And yes i say this after owning an SGSII

As a second hand phone, it still has a years worth of warranty left...

No you will brick your phone lol...

Also i bought mine 150$ local just buy used one for 500$ you can get a brand new galaxy nexus or even maybe a note or one X...

This phone has some overheating issues and camera isn't the best so up2u but the developement here is wicked !!
[HTC Sensation] Hell Guardian:
Really? The two phones are identical only Overclocked CPU :)
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Yeah but still its not gonna make you feel like an xe at all :) just flash a sensation rom the first and most solid rom ever is nrgz8 energy rom nothing to do then flash setup and enjoy ;)

Guess it might vary by country, but it's 24 months here :)
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
I bought the phone from amazon which got it from HTC and my warranty was 3 months :(
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
Completely wrong. Sooooo wrong. The xe version if arhd won't brick the sensation at all it just adds beats audio software and ability to overclock during flashing so yes it does turn it into an xe.
[HTC Sensation] toreone:
THE CAMERA ISN'T THE BEST?! This camera is the best camera I have used especially with the AMAZE mod in the NRGROM. Which camera is better?

That doesn't seem right. HTC defiantly offer a 24 month warranty in Europe: http://dl4.htc.com/Web_materials/Manual/Warranty/Android/1015_A_WarrantyCard_76x126.pdf

So even the very oldest European Sensations will still have a year left.
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
Well in the warranty booklet that came with the box said 3 months but now I'm insured with o2
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
You've probably got a factory refurb model then, they can do what they like with them, warranty wise.
[HTC Sensation] musmos:
Whats the feeling of xe? Lol

Its the same device that comes with different headset and software. A custom rom with a preferable headset will make no difference between the two.. except for the backlight.. lol

Mate i can't get this damn phone to take a nice pic it focuses in one spot and all around seems blurry/choppy i have applied the camera hack but on virtuous rom its almost the same...
[HTC Sensation] Hell Guardian:
It seems i will just get a used one then, And i saw the Note for 499$ and was thinking of getting it but the development section for it is no where as active as the Sensation's

And i love modding my Computer and that will apply to my phone also so active forum is needed

MT4GS obliterates this one. Sensation camera kinda blows for an 8MP to be honest....
