[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
This is similar to what has been done here with our phone:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/motorola-at-it-again-locks-down-atrix-4g-even-more/

It is just like the atrix 4G situation.

What Moto has done with the A0.72 bootloader is that it will not allow you to flash back to the A0.65 bootloader once the A0.72 has been flashed to the device. What it does is blows one of the 3 efuses that allows the phone to boot to the mbmloader (moto's bootloader loader).

That is why we now have a modified fxz that will flash all of the fxz minus the bootloder. So you will be on GB, but still have the latest BL A0.72.

Moto has 3 layers of the bootloader itself and all 3 are signed with the same root CA, the very last one is the one that actually loads the kernel, and the issue with these bricks is that the 2nd layer of the bootloader mbmloader that is what these people that have bricked after flashing, was the mbmloader that allowed you to "load"/flash the mbm.bin for A0.65 and that tripped the efuse that turns the 1st layer BL off, so no charging either.

Moto seems to have gotten real nasty to to us Devs as of late, and why most of us in here are saying this will be our last MOTO phone.

P.S. so far even JTAG has not been ale to resurrect some of these bricks. I was at an AT&T repair facility the other day (yes I have full access to the back area) and we played with one of the reported ICS leak bricked phones and it would not even see that the phone was connected to the JTAG box. There was another phone that was also a "hard brick" that was not from the same leak that was a GB phone and it connected right up to the JTAG box without issue.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jboxer:
That's definitely a strange situation. Jtag talks directly to the cpu and the nand flash so no matter how hard the phone is bricked it should be able to be accessed via jtag. I guess the moto efuses are operating at a very low level? Kind of crappy to put that in there that renders a device unusable. People are going to run out of phones to buy. On the LG-P999 forum many people swore off LG due to lack of updates and not being able to get hardware drivers from LG or Nvidia. At least with the Nvidia chip the P999 is virtually unbrickable as recovery and bootloader can be flashed at a very low level using Nvidia tools (bootloader is not even run to flash at this level). Phones that get the most updates are Nexus branded phones but I personally will never buy a Samsung device again. They have bad hardware code in their EMMC chips and there is a rash of Nexus S devices bricking themselves during an OTA flash or factory reset when the EMMC is issued an erase command. The bad code corrupts the EMMC during the erase and renders the device bricked beyond any repair. It only happens sometimes and when it does Samsung cannot even flash them again. So I guess that just leaves HTC. Now that Google owns Motorola future Moto models may become Nexus devices. I personally prefer Moto phones but I have not hard bricked mine yet. Since I bought it second hand and am in Thailand I have been very cautious and have done very little modding to it and decided to wait (thankfully) for the official OTA release. I almost flashed the leak and glad I waited. Thanks for the explanation as to why they are perma-bricked.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MACKSnare519:
This is exactly happened to my phone.

I was up on the first ICS leak, rooted and everything working great! I tried installer a font and it rebooted as normal but then stalled at the "Rethink Possible" screen. After pulling the battery and starting all over, I attempted to start the ICS process again, starting with going back to 2.3.5 (Yes, this is where I went wrong!)

The darn thing is literally a brick right now.

I wish I would have left it alone....

:(
[Motorola Atrix 2] jboxer:
Yes, you hard bricked it and there is nothing you can do to fix it. There were many warning about this posted with the leak and in other threads. Sorry to hear that you killed your phone. :crying:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Technically, if you were on the FIRST leak, you should be able to fxz back.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jboxer:
Yea, but he would have had to read the forums and fxz back using the custom script to prevent downgrading the baseband and bricking.
[HTC Desire S] Ruwin:
Does anybody have any ideea how to force shutdown the Desire S? Without removing the battery (and putting the emmc in danger).
[HTC Desire S] c.m.b:
Volume up + volume down + power button should reboot the phone. Adb reboot works also.

Edit: Wait, do you want to turn off the device, when it froze completely? Because then neither of the options above will work...
[HTC Desire S] bayusuputra:
Actually, the 3-button restart gives you about 3 second window whereby the phone will be in complete shutdown mode, and that's the window when you should quickly take out the battery (if that's necessary, of course). But only replace it back after >30seconds just to be safe.

Other than that, adb reboot recovery, and then shut it down from recovery. That's what I always do.
[HTC Desire S] totiadrenalin:
I have experience with fried emmc sideways.

A friend of mine has burned emmc on his desire s before my eyes!

How Does it actually happen?

During a call the phone froze, and he immediately opened the cap and removed the battery. Until I managed to say NO!

He has already put the battery back.

And when hi power up the phone, it first stuck on the white logo, and then reboot into recovery.

And then it showed this:

I personally have done it on my phone several times, but God has kept me there is no such thing happened to my phone.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivarmedi:
Hi!

I recently (about a month ago) flashed 9.0.0-RC0-ariesve-UNOFFICIAL to my i9001. Everything works great, except of course the stuff I knew from before (camera, USB tethering, etc.).

My question now is if it's possible (and a good idea) to flash the "[ROM][ICS][IMM76L] CyanogenMod 9 ALPHA (Build 5)" available in the forums, to enter the "regular" CM9 upgrade path without wiping my device. In the thread, it states:

Does this count as a previous version of CM9?

Hey can you share them? I have been looking for some for ages.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clancy_s:
As implied it's rom dependant: it was in my AOKP based 4.1.2 rom Blackbean (I think it pretty much all AOKP 4.1.2 roms), is not present in my current AOSP based 4.2.1 rom (rasbeanjelly).

Dunno which 4.2.1 roms it's in atm but if present it'll be under rom control (whatever your rom calls it), navigation bar options.

For those of you not fond of using a PIN or pattern to unlock due to your Exchange server's security policies, this is god-send

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1749921

I used the Stock Android JRO03C version (even though I'm running Android JRO03D). I also needed to manually move EmailGoogle.apk/odex and Exchange2Google.apk/odex files out of system/apps before flashing.

Once flashed and you've set your Exchange server up (don't worry when it warns you about needing permissions, it never asks for them later), you'll need to reboot one more time to enable syncing (otherwise it'll FC when trying to sync).

After that, sit back and enjoy Exchange email with no unlock screen hassles. Just remember that anyone who can get to your N7 can now read your work email, and your employer will rightly frown on that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tcb4:
Ok I just got a tpu case for my Verizon galaxy s3 and I noticed that the battery temps are quite high. Without a case I could hit 103.6 while charging, now just writing this I'm already at 102 and just a few minutes ago I hit 104.5 and I'm not even charging the phone. Is this normal? If so what are the limits because I could easily see hitting 110.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhuewes:
Have you tried the current custom kernels?

I am using SpeedMod 3-9 and it has an excellent battery life - on heavy usage (internet, emails, ebook reading, messaging and phone calls) I reach the end of the day with at least 30% left - and I am talking about heavy use - around 4-5 hours.

For me this is more than enough.

But I am using "ondemand" CPU governor. If I change to "powersave" the battery consumption will be even lower, I think.

My suggestion to you - give it a try - our beloved Note is one of the best in battery tests - and with these tricks it is even better!

You even can reduce power by using a single collar wallpaper.

For black take a picture in bl&white in the lowest resolution with the lens covered with your finger.

You can select this picture as background.

If you like an other single collar you can do it with a paper of your choice

really ? i'm using that for one day, with heavy use of emails, texts, and watching CCTV in my office with 3G always + wifi = end up 10% in 6 P.M from 7 A.M. and one more thing, i love live wallpapers, so i use Koi wallpaper, and auto brightness.. i thought that with 2500 MAh battery it would last more than 1 days of heavy use... you know, i seldom use that in my house, but very heavy user in the office, no games.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
there is already a ton of custom kernels for the note, Surely you havent tested them all ?

99% of battery drain is down to the user ! anyone will confirm this, You should look a bit deeper into your configuration.

start from a full wipe, test several kernels and try all of the Governors & Schedulers, Use something like 'better battery stats' for precise information of which apps use most power, fiddle with settings like auto-sync, wifi off when sleeping, data network deactivated when not in use ect ect.

1 day battery life is about the average for the average user, This is a powerful device with a massive screen and 2 CPU's, you cant expect the stock battery to last forever, Maybe consider an extended battery ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevintangi:
Tons ? You gotta be kidding me.. :p i tested goku, speedmod, notecore. I believe speedmod is just a bit better, but not yet satisfied me. full wipe in ics roms is a troublesome work :p . Now i use lulzactive governor, sio scheduler, underclock to 800 MHz but still :/ . Extended battery ? Seems a good idea...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhuewes:
For the usage you described, it seems that no modern smarphone would handle it - maybe the Moto Maxx, with its huge battery - but it is not in the league of the Galaxy Note.

But, instead of going to an extended battery solution, which would make your Note heavy and thick, you could go for a "spare battery" solution. And you can find plenty of good quality batteries+charger for less than $20 on Ebay - this should solve your problems entirelly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevintangi:
well yes im searching for extended battery with a capacity of 4000 MAh or bigger. and also, i'm using all of the battery tweaks available for android devices. but still havent sastisfied me :p

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Final5k:
Well you have said it all and given your own answer in your post - you are a heavy user and there are no scripts on xda that will give you additional battery unless you bring 2 or 3 stock batteries with you.

Extended battery is a bit too big in my opinion and will make the Note really too bulky, but if you don't mind the size this is definitely the way to go to have more juice by the end of the day.

Hey all,

2) Max storage capacity is 12.05GB (instead of 16GB)

The capacity is never quite what it's "rated" for and as for storage, you have to account for the OS as well.

Is there any way to get the stock ICS browser to work on JB.

I am currently loving the ICS browser running on my JB Xoom because I get to use flash.

The Chrome browser does not support flash and I find it to be slow compared to the ICS browser.

I pulled the .akp out of the Xoom rom but it will not install on my Nexus 7 for some reason.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

(I was using Dolphin on the Nexus 7 for flash but today it updated and permanently disabled flash)
