yep, I understand why you could be confused, stuff is weird for our phone, but everywhere does have pretty clear instructions. I am not trying to be mean here, but please do your reading before asking. Look at the major roms like lithium, supercharged, sonya, blaze and more, the OP's have details and links.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jetkid03:
Thanks for the help. My phone is now stuck at the boot (M) screen... sigh.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
yep, you're soft bricked, no problem to get out of though. got to the post in my signature and then go to the mirrors link. download the restore to stock script. extract it on your computer, plug your phone in to the computer and boot into fastboot by pulling the battery, putting it back and starting it while holding both volume buttons, select fastboot. run the .bat file in the script folder. you should be fine after it goes. Whatever you do do not unplug it in the middle of the flash, or you will be totally screwed.
[Motorola Atrix 2] eL_MeXiCaNo:
First off i'd like to apologize on behalf of those who sounded rude/irritated to you, most people are nice on here and we tend to help each other out when we can. Don't let 1 person put you off from messing with your phone, we all started somewhere I have yet to meet a person who was a "pro" from the start.

So since your phone is softbricked you need to flash the stock FXZ (I hope you made a CWM backup), for instructions on how to do that go to the Beginners Guide by clicking here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1396650

Then install CWM again and now onto flashing. You don't need to rename any zip to update.zip, you can CHOOSE a zip on your SdCard with CWM, the option is there, it's in "Install Zip from sdcard" ----> "Choose Zip from sdcard"

Now, like someone said, there are 2 types of flashing. Flashing ZIP's and RESTORING a CWM backup. In order to know which one you need to do you need to read the install instructions carefully and thoroughly.

What rom we're you trying to install?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
I need to apologize too. I am generally very willing to help out those who do not understand everything that is going on on these forums. I don't get it all either. That said users do need to understand that a forum is not only about posting new topics with questions, but reading all the older ones too. I think I may try to write up a shorter more concise guide to some of this stuff for our phone that is easy to follow for all users. I just tend to get mad when so many people are breaking things when they do not know how to recover from them. I would never try to do something to my phone until I knew what could go wrong, and how to recover from those things. I do not want to keep anyone away from modding their phone, I just want to help them understand the risks involved.

I am very sorry if this came off as me being rude or inconsiderate. I hope I can make it up to you by getting a good thread out with clear instructions. I think I will basically include how to flash the roms, how to recover from bootloops/ softbricks, and some other basics in an easy to understand way with screenshots and stuff. Do you think this should go in development or general? I am leaning towards development since it is very important towards the roms, but if not, please tell me.

Thank you, and sorry I sounded rude.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
I believe it should go in general, as development is really only supposed to be for actual dev such as roms kernels, and other mods.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staticxx:
Ok, i have an HTC desire with custom roms...miui cm7,cm9 etc etc.

I have just bought an LG optimus 7, I REALLY really like the interface, the speed of wp7 and so fourth but i have some questions for you guys!

1.What unlock wp7 device means?

2. Why would anybody unlock his device?

3. Are the custom roms found here better than the original one(working very good)

4. MOD EDIT

5. Is there anyway to unbrand it ?(works only with vodafone)

Sorry if i asked nubish questions or something but i have only few horus with this phone!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chabun:
There are different types of unlocks:

Dev Unlock - possibility to sideload apps

Interop - possibility to do more (i.e. custom tile colors, more tweaks etc.)

Full Unlock - possibility to do even more:D (i.e. native apps/code like Opera Mobile, more tweaks...)

See 1. :D

I'm a HD2 user. No idea but take a look at the device forum.

What do you mean with that?

A look in the device forum might also help. Using the search function does usualy help as well:p
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
I don't beleive the LG phones sport an unlocked bootloader, so currently there's no custom ROMs for them. However, it's possible to tweak the stock ROM a good bit. Interop-unlock the phone (this will allow sideloading an unlimited number of homebrew apps and will allow sideloading apps that have special permissions). You can find the instructions for doing so on the Dev&Hacking sub-forum. Then, install WP7 Root Tools v0.9 or later; this will allow you full access to the device and also allow desgnating other apps to run with max permissions.

As for "Unbranding" (remove the Vodaphone customizations in software), that's sort-of possible (you'd have to reflash the ROM to get rid of it all) but generally neither required nor wise. If you mean SIM-unlocking, which allows you to use SIM cards from other carriers, that's a fairly common operation. Ask your operator about it, or ask LG about it, or just look it up online...
[HTC One X] twiztid-kid:
Hello, is it possible to update my current HTC One X 1.28.771.xx

to the 1.29.441.11 to fix the screen flicker issue?

My phones is locked to the three UK network. They are slow at updates and the screen flicker is dire

I cannot be without the phone for longer than a day for business reasons...

What are my options, oh and yes I know i'll break my warrenty.

Thanks.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Unfortunately not, you can only use versions that are x.xx.771.x
[HTC One X] godutch:
unlock the bootloader and flash a custom Rom but you have to know it will be difficult to return to stock or even update the radio and hboot afterwards. I did it and the process was easy but I didn't know the full consequences :(
[HTC One X] twiztid-kid:
Why is that?

I want to debrand this **** aswell.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
The only way you can debrand the phone is to use a custom ROM, saying goodbye to your warranty as well
[HTC One X] twiztid-kid:
Thats fine with the warrenty.

Is there any custom roms I can install on a .771 that will fix the screen flickering issue?
[HTC One X] godutch:
dunno really, you just can't or it difficult. they say It's because of s-on but even on the desire it wasn't this difficult. you will automatically debrand however.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Any, your current version has no bearing on the custom ROM you can install

Meet

Wet Andy

, a UNIVERSAL splash screen tool.

Yes, you heard right, this is a tool that can take any standard image (jpg, png, bmp), convert it to the exact screen size of your device, and flash it to your device.

Custom splash screens have never been easier! It will work with API7 through API15 without issue (on the 8 different devices I tested). This is a self-contained package, no installers, and can be used from a flash drive with no additional downloads required. All the tools are right there!

STEPS:

1. Connect your Device and enable USB Debugging. Start the "Wet Andy" program by clicking it.

2. Hit the "TEST ADB" button, it will tell you if your device is connected. (output can be seen as ADBTEST.txt in the folder)

3. Hit "PICK" and you must pick an image file that is JPG, BMP, or PNG using the file chooser.

4. Hit "CONVERT", you will not see the progress on screen, but when you see your image, display.txt, and splash.img in the program folder it has worked!

* This program auto converts the image to the size of your screen, so you can use any image. If your phone does not display its screen size in the props, the default is 480x800

5. Close the program. (ffmpeg has something weord where it keeps going, but don't worry as it WORKED.

6. Restart the program and "TEST ADB"

7. Once you see it is connected, hit "Install"

* The phone will freeze, then reboot into the bootloader. From there, it will do the install.

* Once you see the screen go blank and the program show "Installing", it has installed and is rebooting

* You will see the new image as it boots!

TO REUSE AND FLASH ANOTHER IMAGE TO THE SPLASH, DELETE THE SPLASH.IMG !!!!

DOWNLOAD: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/58849669/WetAndy.windows.zip

Say THANKS and/or DONATE if you like the program!!!

^^OP

This works for all phones?

My boot.img contains logo in form of rle

That is initlogo.rle

Then?

What if I want splash screen in form of initlogo.rle?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Childofthehorn:
This is not your boot.img, this is the system splash which is before your kernel and such. Messing with your Boot.img is a different matter.

Works on all devices that use the splash standard set forth by Android.

This is not a boot animation. This is just an image at startup.

Requires Root, shell, and fastboot access. SGS2 users need to be running AOSP packages that use the base system standards.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] varun.chitre15:
What?

I have Micromax A70 and we have first boot logo inside the kernel i.e zimage and second bootlogo is from boot.img which is initlogo.rel :p

We dont have any splash partition to flash splash.img via fastboot

So this is not for our device?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Childofthehorn:
This is unfortunately, not going to rip your boot image, replace the image and zip it all up again. Kernel code requires that you compile your own after doing the conversion.

I can make a converter and compiler for kernel code that puts your image in there with links to the source code.

They basically made those areas blank and put no beginning splash. What you are seeing with the kernel start and boot start is not a splash image. Your images are built into your running code, so not your boot splash.

Running as the zImage and uImage pieces is not true native Android code and does not really adhere to the base code standard. They basically put a micro layer between the OS and the hardcoded chip firmware. They run it as a standard OS.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Archangel:
Great tool, do you know if this works on the Toro Galaxy Nexus?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Childofthehorn:
Just try it. There is literally no harm that can come from this program. If you have no splash ability on your devices, well can't help you there just yet.

Its just using fastboot to flash the splash image. The fancier bits are in the device recognition with display specs and file conversion.

For the SGS2 users and those whose boot images are in the kernel, I can make a image converter that automatically compiles the kernel, then pushes it and flashes the new kernel. I can also add some fuctionality for rle image conversion for some of the more odd implementations.

Tell me if you want it. I can do it. Not that hard.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Archangel:
How long does it take for a file to be converted? It has said file loaded for a while and seems to stay there?

Ok never mind I restarted it duh LOL and it seemed to install but the splash screen is the same, will try again
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] billbowers:
Open the folder that contains the program. When it is finished, you will see a new file called splash.img. Then, close wet Andy, and restart it. And select install. Bada bing Bada boom...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Childofthehorn:
You got it Bill!

Hopefully this takes the guess work out.

Its really a GREAT way to insure your device has another layer of safety because you can make an image that has your name and personal contact information that the person who finds it can you to get a hold of you. Also, regardless of if someone manages to boot into recovery mode and completely wipe your data or flash a new image, they CAN'T wipe this. That is unless they are a very diligent thief and find this tool!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Archangel:
Thats just the thing how long do you have to wait for the file to convert? I left my device connected for roughly 30 mins and all I saw was a text file created, no splash.img??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] billbowers:
Strange.. Mine took about 10 seconds...max
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Childofthehorn:
You have to PICK a file for it to convert. You must pick, then convert. It only works on PNG, JPG, and BMP file formats for the pictures. PICK loads the file into the program and then hit CONVERT. I would double check that your device is connected. If you are also only seeing display.txt and NOT the splash.img or a copy of the picture you are converting and flashing, you did not hit the PICK option first. That or your internal windows tools are super-broke.

Also check that ffmpeg isnt running rampant on your processes.

There just isn't a good reason why its worked for everyone else and your computer is having issues, unless something is wrong.

Please outline exactly what you are doing and seeing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Archangel:
Ok I connect my device to my computer and just to be sure I check my ADB connection by running a command prompt and typing adb devices and my devices shows up. Then I back out of that and go into the wet andy program and test the ADB connection and it says device connected! Then I pick a picture of my car (dont judge me its a corvette LOL) it is a jpg file and it says file loaded! Then I hit convert and it just sits there and does nothing? I have tried several other pics and nothing happens after I hit convert?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Childofthehorn:
After that, you should see your img file in the folder for the program.

Close Wet Andy, restart it, check your adb connection, and Then run INSTALL.

It will install and reboot your device!

Hi Everyone,

Dunno if this is a real issue or not. According to my knowledge, when you plug in your phone, the battery history is suppose to reset and go back to zero. I just recently noticed that when I plug in my phone and leave it charging for a while, I'm still getting the old battery history. Is this normal? I'm using stock 4.0.4 (Yakju).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Normal. It resets when it hits 100% not whenever you plug it in.

I've had real problems with stuttering Audio over bluetooth - especially obvious with maps directions. I also have have problems with the 'you are here dart' jumping around all over the place.

The first problem hasn't been resolved but the second was made much better by downloading "GPS Test Plus" and using that app's settings menu to Clear AGPS then Update AGPS.

Not sure if any of this helps you - hopefully it will.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
First and most obviously, it can be justified by not being dumb and buying it for $800. I can easily find $700 just from googling.

Secondly, it's definitely worth it in areas where the opportunity cost of not having LTE is not very high. In other words: LTE can suck (depending on where you are). In places where you get < 10Mbps from it, it's obviously comparable to HSPA+, so that you shouldn't bother with it and its inordinate battery drain, and just get quad-core goodness instead.

Otherwise, it's a trade-off.

Wow, yet another LTE thread. OP it is what it is. No LTE on Sammy quad core at the moment. Live with it and wait. Or don't, go buy a bloated up carrier raped phone with LTE.
