Using rsdlite to flash an .sbf is dangerous if you flash one prior to 2.3.4 gingerbread. All others are safe to my knowledge. But using pudding is easier and faster.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerfman100:
Quick note: If you SBF flash a stock ROM while you're on a custom ROM, remember to wipe the data in stock recovery when you're done! :good:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathan96:
Thanks !

Now, where can i find SBF file which is compatible with ATT Atrix 4G in Israel ?

My carrier is Cellcom but i bought the phone with ATT Rom.

And another q's, if i flash SBF of complete stock 2.3.4, will i be able to use Moto OTA update through the phone to get 2.3.6 ?

Thanks again !

what about one of those ?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mphill46:
Do not use RSD lite and .sbf. do some searching and you will find that Motorola doesn't condone using RSd lite for public use. Flash the appropriate fruitcakes just like you would a rom except wipe the phone completely (especially when you are down grading. If you do use rsd lite and hard brick your phone I will have no sympathy for you as your phone will be a very expensive paper weight. Many many people have already started forum pages on why you should not use rsd lite. Just my opinion... take it or leave it as you may.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inspiredwire:
You flash SBFs based on the phone, not where you live or want service.

ATT phone = ATT SBF and nothing else.

As long as you actually have an Att U.S. Version atrix, i believe you are fine.

If you have the Att version, you do not want to flash the Bell sbf, etc......

It is an ATT device, there is the ATT logo and the device came with ATT rom.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] snovvman:
This apparently affects several Samsung phones--including SIII, SII, and others.

In the AOSP/AOKP/CM ROMs, under Developer Options, there is the "Stay Awake - Screen will never sleep while charging" toggle. In the OE/stock Samsung ROMs, that option is hidden.

For some reason, my Note's Stay Awake option is toggled on. This means that the phone's screen turns on after a full charge in the middle of the night and stays on. Very annoying.

After some searching, this is what fixed it:

Download Extended Controls from Play Store. Add "Stay Awake" toggle. It will be enabled. Disable it. This in essence allows you to access that toggle that is hidden in the non-AOSP/AOKP/CM ROM

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhoreb:
I recently switched provider (Vodafone --> simyo). And since I introduced the new sim card, the battery drains about 7% an hour, instead of the 2-3 days I usually get with light to moderate use.

It's the datamode that causes the drain. Turning it off and battery goes back to "normal" You can easily identify where I turned it on and off on below picture.

Searching I only find one answer, get a new sim card. But is this sim card related, and isn't there anything I can do to fix the data connection drainage?

So I just had a pixel that popped up that's either stuck or dead. I've tried the apps in the play store to try and fix it, but no luck. I have 7 days to return to amazon wireless. The question is, should I. Its really not that bad, and its a hassle to have to redo my phone, but I notice it, no one else does.

My question is, If I did return it (exchange or whatever) should I relock the bootloader, unroot etc? Or....who really cares...send it back as is? I would obviously nandroid back to my stock image at least though and do a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Backup your current system/data with a nandroid.

Transfer it to your computer along with whatever "sdcard" data you want to keep.

Then restore whenever you get your replacement.

Flash back to stock and relock.

You might as well...it takes 10 minutes. And what if they have a problem with it not being stock and locked?

I don't know their policies but they might charge you full retail to get an exchange...half price...or return your original phone.

Whatever the case may be, it's just not worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chugger93:

[HTC Radar] SJGS:
I've had a Radar for a couple of months and its cellular data performance has always been flaky - with 5 bars of 3G signal data would simply stop for no particular reason. Happened in different areas of the country, different times of the day, didn't happen with the same SIM in a different handset etc. etc.

So I had Vodafone swap the handset and so far, so good - the problem has gone.

However, the new handset has haptic feedback for the Back/Home/Bing buttons and it's driving me crazy. I am 99% certain the last handset did not do this - there doesn't appear to be any way to disable it.

Does anyone else have a Radar that doesn't have haptic? If they do exist and I wasn't dreaming I might try another swap to see if I can get lucky.

TIA.

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Nesquick95:
Hi,

Here's a method based on a security hole to gain root on the Galaxy Tab 2 7" without heavy flashing by Odin. I've successfuly tested this method on my GT-P3110 running stock Android 4.0.3 on kernel 3.0.8-379370, version IML74K.P3110XXALD4.

The original post by Miloj :good: can be viewed here :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1704209

I've only "translated" the trick from TF300T to our Galaxy Tab. I guess it should work for other devices too... To make short, the goal here is to create a symbolic link from the famous /data/local/tmp to the block device on which /system is mounted. The mount command runned in an ADB shell can give the required information :

$ mount

rootfs / rootfs ro,relatime 0 0

tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,mode=755 0 0

devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,relatime,mode=600 0 0

proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0

sysfs /sys sysfs rw,relatime 0 0

none /acct cgroup rw,relatime,cpuacct 0 0

tmpfs /mnt/asec tmpfs rw,relatime,mode=755,gid=1000 0 0

tmpfs /mnt/obb tmpfs rw,relatime,mode=755,gid=1000 0 0

/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/FACTORYFS /system ext4 ro,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/DATAFS /data ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc,discard 0 0

/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/EFS /efs ext4 rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

/sys/kernel/debug /sys/kernel/debug debugfs rw,relatime 0 0

After identifying the block device, refer to the well-explained Miloj post and consider :

Code:

$ ln -s /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/FACTORYFS tmp

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Nesquick95:
Yes, because this root method exploits a security hole of the tab's software integration and thus doesn't need Odin.

But I'd like to say that this kind of rooting method isn't better or worst than recovery flash...

Recovery flash causes warranty to be broken but is nearly granted to work.

Tricky methods keep warranty alive but have short lifetimes, like the one discussed here that seems to work only on 4.0.3, since providers like Samsung can't leave security holes on their systems and apply patches so the work (find a new trick or write an OTA-rootkeeper) must be done each time an update is released.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] photon4glover:

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Nesquick95:
Haven't got 4.0.4 myself so it's hard for me to say...

An unsuccessful try on 4.0.4 is reported here and hole patching by Samsung is strongly suspected.

Well, it's always the same never-ending rooting story : flashing & losing warranty or waiting for a rooting exploit that may never be found & keeping warranty alive.

May I ask how 4.0.4 comes to our tabs ? Is it regular OTA or alternative ROM flashing ? I'm on stock 4.0.3, rooted but not unlocked and have no signs of an OTA update coming.

No high hopes about rooting as exploits are few for recent releases (but who knows ?)

Maybe something about root-keeping.
