You could find Amon Ra 3.15 recovery in a zip that can be renamed PH98IMG.zip

and reinstall recovery. Your immediate problem may be solved, but if you have time, you can do more.

Amon Ra lets you look at either internal drive: your sdcard or the phone's storage:

toggle the sdcard, attach to computer, and remove the PH98IMG of just-installed Amon Ra recovery.

Now find the Android Police 4.03 version (large download if correct) , make sure the md5's match for it, and

copy it to extrenal sdcard renamed as PH98IMG.zip. It will run 1 1/2 times then boot

up to operating system. Many people say to do another reinstall and/or one or more Factory Resets at this point:

one from Seup- Storage - Factory reset with phone "on". Another factory resey is availble

by booting to recovery and choosing Reset. It's a good idea to do one or both style resets before

you reinstall a recovery. Every time you run an RUU or a zip that replaces the ROM, you have

to reinstall that Recovery. To avoid no-charging situations, I'd advise keeping Amon Ra 3.15.

Now you're at the point you can root and play with this powerful handset.
[HTC Rezound] croonux:
ok so download amon ra and then check md5 but the only problem im encountoring so far is I don't know how to check md5 I've gone to my roms page (link on first page last post) and I can't seem to find where I can check the md5 and I do have time today and I don't really feel like reinstalling/reseting if I don't have too
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Download MD5 checker from the play store. Load the PH98IMG as file 1, then paste the md5 from the amon ra thread into the second text area. Then press the button.
[HTC Rezound] croonux:
I can't boot my phone anymore as of today so i won't be able download the app, and what text area do I put the md5 from amon ra and is there anyother way to check md5 or should I jsut reinstall rom/ factory reset, but for that I gotta go to staples right now and buy a micro sd adapter as I can't modify my sd at all anymore
[HTC Rezound] croonux:
bump and another cry for help so I installed the latest ruu, bootloader got locked and recovery got erased, so i installed amon ra 3.15 as per the instructions up there, where do I go from here? what else do I install I'm having the same problems from first post... how do i check md5 if I can't boot into the phone? any more help will be appreciated
[HTC Rezound] croonux:
actually just by looking at my bootloader could it be possible that the global ruu didn't get install? this is the info I have when I hold power and vol -

.

2.27 is the newst Global firmware.

When you boot, are you still seeing something from MikRoms?

If yes, your RUU installation didn't work.

I'd use Amon Ra to wipe:

every choice several times and reinstall the whole Android Police 4.03 PH98IMG.zip.

If you don't get a nice clean oem-style stock bootup after that, then the RUU is suspect, may need

to get from another source.
[HTC Rezound] croonux:
yup I get the mikroms thing again guess it didn't work when I wipe my data do I wipe ALL data/factory reset and does this include my SD card when it gets wiped or no?
[HTC Rezound] michaelbsheldon:
.

yeppers:

in AmonRa, take Wipe, then do each one including the internal and external Sdcards

and dalvik cache and everything else a coupla times..

The RUU ought to have undone everything else in your phone incl MikMik, so it may

not be a good one.

After all wipes, put it back onto your external card as PH98IMG and flash twice.

If all is well, you'll have a fine virgin install ready to be rooted and messed with.

I installed Nova Launcher and Multipicture Live Wallpaper. I set with this software a 1080p wallpaper and it's perfect, but when I try to rotate my tablet in portrait mode I only see the center of wallpaper, so it's very cropped!

How can I solve this problem? Is there a solution?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ghenarys:
Same problem with Apex Launcher & Go Launcher.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Christopher-Swe:
A reboot of the tablet works for me!
[Asus Transformer TF700] yassine.parakh:
Same problem. Nova premium and last android update 4.1.1.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Narcal:
Same here, with Nova Launcher if I set a static wallpaper it looks good in landscape, but as I rotate it in portrait I have almost half of the bottom wallpaper going black (and cutting the wallpaper exaclty as if it was in landscape)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
Simple image live wallpaper free
[Asus Transformer TF700] yassine.parakh:
It works for me...
[Asus Transformer TF700] xIC-MACIx:
+1

Works great here too using Apex. Icons & widgets still are cut off on some screens in portrait, but it is launcher related as the stock launcher switches views correctly. (Messing with grid sizes helps a bit)
[Asus Transformer TF700] ghenarys:
The solution :

Works with every launcher

1 - Long touch on an empty part of desktop

2 - Wallpaper

3 - Animated wallpaper

4 - Asus MyFrame

5 - Settings

6 - Select a wallpaper

7 - Set reading option on "static"

8 - Back

9 - Select

10 - Enjoy
[Asus Transformer TF700] baddison:
WOW!!! Thank you very very much!!:good::good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] FrontRowJoe:
Looks like the latest update finally fixed the wallpaper cropping problem. Just select "Nova Wallpaper" to crop correctly. No longer necessary to use a live wallpaper.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Sorry bro but you're inability to read through sticky threads or even ask questions has failed you here. You simply have yourself to blame here

There are two ways I know however:

1 Send it to Samsung repairs, they will never know what actually happened. Your motherboard will be replaced.

2. Change your motherboard on your own or with a third-party repair centre. It's faster but maybe expensive.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
You're being hopeful mate. Very. Even if they have the motherboard at the service center, which they usually don't, it'll still take them more than a couple of hours to replace it. you're looking at a minimum of a few weeks here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys2s:
i just want it to be replaced , they may take 1 week

but i just want that it will hopefully be replaced and nothing else ..

i can say to them the distance IS TOO LARGE TO daily to come and go and they are nice persons here in my city

they will understand and hope they will do it fast

if they open the phone change the motherboard then the resale value of my phone will be altered ????

if yes then if there is a way to avoid it ???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Samsung customer service is also very nice in my country.

It takes 2wks normally, for repairs in my country, but if the phone is out of market, then it can take months but in own case Galaxy SII is still in market, so there shouldn't be any problem.

Changing the motherboard for a brand-new one is just like changing your old car engine to a brand-new one.

After repair, your phone will look like it was untouched.

The performance will also be better and since it will be very hard for anyone to tell if this phone has been opened, then it will never affect the resale value.

Technically, it should increase the resale value

Your issue is because you can't change keyboard layout and not because you forgot your password.

1. Flash Siyah kernel first via Odin

2. Download Aosp keyboard here: www.mediafire.com/download.php?thno12yctls6xny to your Pc

- copy Aosp keyboard to your phone.

- flash Aosp keyboard,

- reboot your phone

and let's see if you will have options to select the AOSP keyboard when you want to type password

9/10/12 - FOR THOSE ON THE FIRST AT&T ICS LEAK:

You may notice that you have an OTA Update available to you - it will update you to the newest version of Moto's ICS (as found in leak #2)... If you install it, you will not have any way to fxz your way out of trouble, receive the official ota (though this is probably close enough to it), or flash back to GB just for fun...

--------------------------------------------------------

Well, I'm sure Moto has been frantically checking our forums this week (out-dated, but always true - i'd like to think), and from the looks of things around here, they probably thought that this new ICS ota package slipped by unnoticed... But, it hasn't.

I picked up this new leak off of cheesecake earlier this week:

The first shot is from the leak pulled on Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2012 - then it looks like someone didn't like the package name, and the second pic shows the leak (identical except the name) that has been on the server since Wednesday, Sept. 5... this looks like it's very close to the official release now.

So, why didn't you know about this leak?

Well, looks like you are already on ICS and/or not checking cheesecake ;), and more importantly, we did not want to just go and post the leak files for safety reasons - and it's a good thing that we didn't - because this new leak is more locked down than the first one, courtesy of the friendly folks at Moto.

As it stands, there is currently no way for us to downgrade back to GB from the new leak - and that is a sign of what's to come with the official OTA.

(But, your devs are still working on that too)

Do some reading around the other forums/sites for Moto devices - they had the exact same thing - they could downgrade from some of the earlier leaks but not the more finalized ones or the official ota.

Post or PM with questions/concerns.. but, please don't be offended if I do not send you the leak files (I hope you understand).

Thanks to the other devs for their input and advice. Also, I want to give a very big and special thanks to Apex_Strider, Fall of Enosis, mtnlion, and DX2Trip for their contributions and troubles - if not for them, we would be in for a big surprise when the official release comes and someone tries to fxz back to gb - please make sure to hit the "Thanks" button for them.

Now, without further ado, Fall has a generous gift for anyone who's interested in making a ROM out of the new leak (see below)...
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Ok guys, this leak came out and Altered asked a couple of us to test it. Now I can say from using the leak for a few days that it is more stable than the last.

HOWEVER:

I got myself into a jam and somehow deleted my backup and sent myself in a soft brick, while making some mods.

I cannot express the heavily enough to you:

WE CURRENTLY CANNOT FXZ BACK FROM THIS LEAK. MY A2 IS CURRENTLY STUCK IN FB. AND WILL MOST LIKELY NOT BE RESTORED UNTIL WE GET A 4.0.4 FXZ

That being said, it runs great and a lot of the bugs were worked out from the last leak.

WHAT I KNOW WORKS:

Bootmenu works fine. SAFESTRAP HAS NOT BEEN TESTED. (I just somehow accidentally deleted my backup I made when I looped)

Jim's Root method works fine: Find it HERE. (Give proper thanks to Jim for it)

And since it is a Moto release, obviously WiFi, BT, and everything else works fine.

THINGS I NOTICED:

The Press and hold to pick a widget is gone all together.

I was one of the few who was actually OC'd to 1.2 on the previous leak. I was ALSO at 1.2 on this leak.

LASTLY:

This dump post is for creating ROMS from this dump

ONLY

.

DO NOT

mix and match files from either leak. They NEED to be treated as separate entities all together. That is how I got myself into my current softbrick. I flashed a mod that I thought would work, but the service.jars were just different enough to throw me into a loop. As long as you

MAKE SURE

you have a backup with Bootmenu you should be able to get out of a bootloop just fine.

Happy and careful building everyone:

Click here to download the system dump.

ENDING DISCLAIMER:

Obviously I am not responsible for what you do to your phone. Or if you brick it. We all know the risks with flashing. Safe flashing everyone! KEEP A BACKUP! :)
