rebooting...

am I missing something ?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] fallnSaint:
Did you also put thefinger.img in the android-sdk/tools folder? Run the cmd line from the same folder you have fastboot & the img file in.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] fallnSaint:
Looks like u did, just checked the file size... let me try that file.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] fallnSaint:
Ok, my bad, typo in the OP.

Oh, i feel ya. I almost went w that one myself, maybe next week. I plan to add some more here soon.

Course, this depends on how motivated I,m feeling & how much free time I am left with...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] fallnSaint:
OP updated, now includes a few of my own making, as well as a link to make your own work. Full screen is out of the question as far as my skills are concerned, I believe the bootloader dictates the size.

Found the stock boot logo here, thanks to jimmydafish. Posted a copy of it below for convenience.

Can someone guide me on how to flash with the OEM motorola and Sprint boots? New to Android, long time user of WM (TP2)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] fallnSaint:
I assume that you have already installed android sdk as well as the moto drivers for this phone since you are unlocked. Just download the stocklogo.img in the post before yours, on your computer. Move it to wherever you installed the android sdk folder, put it in platform-tools folder. Plug your phone into your computer, hold shift & right click on your open platform-tools folder with nothing selected in the folder. Select open command window here.

Type in the command prompt:

adb reboot bootloader

Your phone will boot to fastboot, now type:

fastboot flash logo stocklogo.img

You should see it flash successfully, then type:

fastboot reboot

Your phone will reboot & you can unplug it.

This might help you out in the future: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3591882

Welcome to Android!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ericcire:
Got it. No more unlocked bootloader warning! When booting, it only shows the Motorola boot logo, is there any way I can also have it run the sprint boot animation? Want it to look as stock as possible.

Thanks fallnSaint

Figured it out myself! Learning the android platform.

Only things I am still unable to do (that I could on my TP2) are:

(1) Force Roaming - I downloaded and paid for Roam Control, but it still does not function. :(

(2) Wifi sharing - Downloaded FoxFi; It says it has activated the hotspot, but when trying to connect with my ipad it times out. When trying to connect with laptop it connects, but says no internet connection.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] bryanfritz1:
If your rooted try wifi tether from play store, sorry no direct link.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ericcire:
Tried wifi tether and the open garden one. No luck. Will the defualt wifi hotspot in the settings charge my sprint account if I try that one?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] fallnSaint:
The boot animation should be stock unless you manually changed it. Pulsing moto logo followed by sprint, doesn't get more stock than that.

These have been covered in different threads:

Force roaming Photon Q General

Wifi tether Photon Q Q/A

Hopefully you can find some answers there.

Here's a little quickie I threw together.

Changed my DarkDroid logo from red to blue, then cut a screencap of Motorola's page for the Q to get the text.

I just followed the steps outlined in the first post, however, the background of my image and the color of the screen above and below the bounds of the 540x540 logo are not the same black. Any way to correct this?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] fallnSaint:
Is there any other colors around the edge of your pic? Even a small spot could throw it off.

My logo was my business logo (i'm self employed) on a black bg. Next i tried it with a transparent bg which resulted in a grey/white color, and finally i tried again with the actual logo part a bit larger in the image but with the same black bg as the original and it worked fine! Weird huh?

Sent from my Photon Q
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] sixxt9:
My guess is that on your original you had a few pixels on the edge that weren't the exact same shade. Either way, you've got it to work and that's all that matters in the end.

Boot logos working - latest sprint 77,8,14.XT897

I got this to work with the latest android SDK. Boot to fast boot, if rooted just do it from your nice custoom boot menu otherwise hold power + volume down until the screen goes blank, then hold power + volume up + volume down. This will bring up a menu list, use volume down to select "fastboot" and then volume up to select it. Plug the phone into your PC USB slot.

Go to the SDK directory adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219\sdk\platform-tools: cd c:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219\sdk\platform-tools or whever you unzipped it to. Then download the image file you like, stick it into that same directory adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219\sdk\platform-tools\ and from cmd line do > fastboot.exe flash logo whatever-file.img

then > fastboot.,exe reboot

And it will take effect right away. At least it did for me without issue, though I am on a Phton Q, not an older device that needs to use the moto-fastboot variant pos thing.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Speedraca:
In case you're a dumbass like me...

I'm a bit of a dumbass, so I'm posting this in case anyone else makes the same mistake(s) I did :)

When choosing the image you want to have show when starting up, don't right click the image shown in the post and "save as" - this will just get you a jpg (or png or whatever) version of the file and not the *.img version needed for this process. Instead, click the link at the bottom of the post that contains the image and you'll get the file you need. And no, you can't simply change the extension from .jpg to .img and expect it to work.

Also, typing 'adb fastboot reload' from the command prompt didn't work for me to get into fastboot for some reason, though all the other commands worked fine. So (with the usb cable unplugged) I just manually powered off my phone and then held the volume down key at the same time as pressing the power button, and that got me into fastboot.

I also found the 'fastboot devices' command to be helpful, which tells you if your phone is connected to your pc in fastboot mode.

I've now got the "Darkside of the Moon" as my boot logo, so thanks to fallnsaint and sixxt9 for the instructions and image, respectively!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Where do you see 'adb fastboot reload' on the OP? I see adb reboot bootloader, which is the proper command...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Speedraca:
Whoops, miswrote what I meant. I tried 'adb reboot bootloader' but didn't do anything.

Sticky this in the General Thread

Updated OP w the newer contributions.

Mods:

Seen a few threads started in general & q&a asking how to remove the bootloader warning. Maybe my choice of putting it in themes was not the wisest? Everyone coming into this phone will want to know how to change this option.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Probably just need some better sticky's / how-to's... But this thread might be better served in General.

If you feel it will be better served there, feel free to report your own OP and request to have it moved to General.

Oh hell, never thought of doing that. Thanks bud.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Solust:
This tree is a project I did in high school called "Supertree". I made a boot logo for myself that has my family name instead of "Photon Q". I used a non-English font (標楷體) so it should be friendly with those who bought the phone for HK in case someone is interested in having that line edited.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sa-bierman:
Hi guys, was hoping anyone can let me know what the problem is.

My handset is a month old, but the problem was from day one. I keep getting a error that the phone says my sd card was removed without being unmounted, while the card is still in the device. i have tried the following micro sd and sdhc card all brand new card but to no avail (2Gb scandisk, 8Gb Kingston and 16Gb Kingston), this doesnt happen so much with the 2gb in.

The phone also has a new pc board installed ( cause i bricked the first time )

Any suggestions ? is this a software issue maybe ? seeing as the sd card works and reads after its been dismounted.

Thanks

I made my first android app, it seems to run on most phones no problem

but one phone my bud has he installs the app no problem but the app will not run from the app launcher no matter what

when you click the app it just goes to the home screen.

However if you goto google play and click OPEN it runs fine

or if you hold HOME and goto recent Apps it opens right up, what could possibly make it not open from the launcher?

it only happens on HTC Thunderbolt works fine on 10 other phones so far.

I know this isnt the development forum but it said i had to post here until i had 10 posts.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
Connect the phone to your PC, and open DDMS (AndroidSDK/Tools) or Eclipse. Check the logcat output and you'll catch the error (then you can search a way to fix it).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rispeed:
Okay i narrowed it down a bit more, when my app installs through google play it sticks on a white screen and crashes with a activity not found exception

(the activity in question is being called from the main activity onCreate method)

However after the program crashes it runs perfectly fine other times you open it.

its almost like the oncreate is trying to launch the activity before it registers with the operating system or something.

Hey guys/girls.

How long does it take you to do a full wipe, flash and restore? I've only ever installed one rom and was wondering how long it takes.

Also what is the process invlolved in how you do it?

Is it backup with titanium then go into cwm and Wipe Data / Factory Reset, Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache, Format System partition and Install rom. Then get titanium and restore everything?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh0nebg:
U can use TitaniumBackup to backup apps and restore them when u flash new rom. I rarely use it. I do cwm backup of complete rom and then install and try new rom from scratch... U can do whatever u like.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slashnburn:
In my experience, Titanium Backup should be used sparingly, It IS totally brilliant, but, depending on the ROM you are flashing from/to is like trying to shove a square peg into a round hole, it will go in, but it ain`t happy about it.

Also the amount of time it takes depends on how many apps you have installed.

Before you actually use Titanium, it is a wise idea to go into the preferences, and make sure the "migrate system data" and the "restore app external data" boxes are ticked. (should be default setting IMO)

From a fully app`d ROM do a full backup of sytem and user apps, but when it comes to restoring them, restore the apps only, the restoration of app data should be done selectively, and the most common system data(contacts, call logs, sms history etc) are usually highlighted green.

Then just use your phone and any time you come accross an app that is missing its data, restore it on a "per app" basis.

All this may take a bit longer than the 15-20 mins quoted, but rarely more than an hour.

This has been a reliable method for the 50 odd times I`ve flashed my SII, and the 20 odd times I`ve flashed my SIII....Hope this helps

I was just on I9300XXDLI8 and due to missing picture and music I decided to wait for the official.

Odin the Original Image 5 minutes

Wipe Data 1 Minutes

Phone Initial Setup (with usual play and gmail account) 3 minutes

FULL restore from Kies (119 apps and all other data) 35 minutes

Usual Play Store update for out of date apps 10 minutes

Took a total of 54 minutes.

Use Go Backup. Titanium fails to do auto restore often, resulting to a manual restore of all your data with Titanium backup using install, enter, done, install, enter, done' repeatedly.

Go Backup restores all without a single problem

A little cautious here maybe, but TB backup, boot into clockwork android backup, format system and data wipe cache / dalvik. Flash rom, restore apps but no data from titanium then restore data for a select bunch of apps (banking apps which require authentication and similar) restore call logs, sms via TB. Total time approx 1 hour.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Flashed it with what?. If you flashed back to stock you need to do this as if from the start:

Flash stock rom via odin.

DO NOT ALLOW IT TO BOOT TO OS. IF IT DOES PULL THE BATTERY IMMEDIATELY!!.

Boot to recovery.

Factory reset.

Boot to download mode.

Flash stock via Odin again and allow the device to do its thing and reboot to OS. (this second flash is what overwrites the files that couldn't be overwritten in the first flash).

Beamed in by telepathy.
