[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Alright, let's start with the basics...

You need to be careful what OTA you try to install on what firmware. If the phone is an ATT phone then only install the ATT update; if its an international phone, only install the international update.

That said, it sounds like you are getting your firmwares mixed up. If you have an ATT A2, then the MERetail ICS will not install on it. You probably installed the ATT update...

But if your girlfriend's phone isn't an ATT phone then the ATT update won't install on it...

Can you supply the full "E: assert failed" error? What does your girlfriend's phone say under Settings->About Phone->System Version? What does you phone say under the same place?
[Motorola Atrix 2] SethHikari:
Damn I have the same problem and it is my GF phone so I am really screwed. I had her phone on the ICS leak 1 and today check for for an OTA not remembering that I had her on a leak, said it was a 43MB xxxxxx.123 to .125 updated, it seem to fail half way during install and the said install software fail. Baseband was gone and it reboot ever 4 min. Update keeps failing. I used the scripts on here to go back to GB (worked) but still same issue. So I used official OTA, 223mb and the update failed and I still have the problem, now sitting on GB 2.3.6

---------- Post added at 03:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 AM ----------

Looks like the update fails with

Updating STE BP

assert failed: motorola.steflash("/tmp/steflash")

When using recovery
[Motorola Atrix 2] victoratrix2:
of course:

the assert is:

updating STE BP..

assert Failed: motorola.stefllash ("/tmp/steflash")

E;Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

installatin aborted.

the actually Settings->About Phone->System Version is:

55.11.16.MB865.ATT.en.US

because i return to original firmware but the problem continues.. :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] victoratrix2:
souljaboy but fixed the problem by updating to ICS?
[Motorola Atrix 2] SethHikari:
OTA or installing the leak of course does not work for me because of

updating STE BP..

assert Failed: motorola.stefllash ("/tmp/steflash")

E;Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

installation aborted.
[Motorola Atrix 2] victoratrix2:
ohh seriously any idea of my problem??... :'(
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Have you tried flashing just the radio.img file from the AT&T version, with moto-fastboot?

That is what I would do in this case. The at&t fxz from 2.3.6 should work and flash just fine using moto-fastboot.

If that does not work, then I really dont know what to tell you, and I am not even sure if you can fxz back at this point, to get an at&t image back on it, just hope that the radio image fixes it other wise you have an expensive brick.
[Motorola Atrix 2] SethHikari:
I've tried that and it doesn't workout. Since my phone is still under warranty I'm sending it back to Motorola. I don't see any way to fix this without unlocking the bootloader which we can't do. It seems that the partition somehow got the wrong size or being detected the wrong size. It's too bad that Motorola doesn't provide a whole image or a way to factory reset to a whole image like Samsung and HTC do on most of their phones.
[Motorola Atrix 2] victoratrix2:
manually install radio.img using the command

"moto-fastboot flash radio.img Radio"

and the problem persists.... the recovery shows:

installing update ..

Assert Failed: motorola.stefllash ("/ tmp / steflash")

E: Error in / tmp / cache / update.zip

(Status 7)

installation aborted.

i can try with others radios? or only for ATT?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Wait I thought you were having radio issues. What are you trying to flash with stock recovery? I thought you were already on ICS.
[Motorola Atrix 2] victoratrix2:
no, I'm on 2.3.6, try the following update via sdcard Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US

but I never worked and was always this problem

I have downloaded several roms these forums, but no result

this will have a solution?... :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Just fxz back to 2.3.6 then try and install that file right after returning to stock.
[Motorola Atrix 2] victoratrix2:
Now try doing the phone does not turn in any way ...

I think he's dead...

no respond, no led, no light, in charge anithing ... he is dead?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] munchy_cool:
Edit-

I checked from settings apps and the camera app on my razr was 0 bytes.

So i went ahead and installed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1753383

using rsd lite, followed by a factory reset from moto recovery and still the app is 0 bytes and wont work.

Any help would be appreciated.

So the camera on my droid Razr xt910 does not work, none of the market apps work.

The stock app just shows a black screen and goes to home screen

1. Anybody know how to fix this - already cleared all data for the camera from settings- apps

2. will the xt912 camera work on the xt910, if anyone has tried it please let me know.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] PoisonerKA:
Maybe the camera is broken?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jeanjacq:
Hi their "munchy_cool" :)

It's probably a problem in the physical camera. If you are on a stock ROM and there is no indication of root access and you've had the phone for a certain amount of time you should be able to get it repaired on warranty (so for free) or if you've had the phone for more than year and you can't get it repaired on warranty refer to your mobile insurance - if you have one-.

2-3 Questions:

•How long have you had the phone for?

•Do you have root access? If yes, do you have a custom ROM?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] munchy_cool:
camera app is 0 bytes

just got the phone from a member on xda.

don't have root access but i guess lemme read and try flashing a custom rom.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jeanjacq:
If I were you I would rather check to see if the camera is broken first before fiddling around with root and all that.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] munchy_cool:
how do i do that, by the way , rooted, safestrap and AOKP still no camera ..can't access camera error ..

any way to check the hardware from moto recovery or adb?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jeanjacq:
So we can definitely tell it's not software.

Your carrier wont accept your phone to be repaired free of charge now because you have root access and a custom ROM.

So I suggest you find the nearest mall and take your phone in for repairs...

Even if you did find the actual physical problem on your camera I highly doubt you'd be able to fix it yourself.

Good luck to you my friend :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoboo:
Hi everyone, this is my first post in the forums!

I have two questions:

1) I am going to update my Galaxy s I9000 from stock GB 2.3.3 I9000XWJVH with no root to 2.3.6 using Odin The thing is that i dont know wich firmware shall i use, I9000XWJW6 or I9000XWJW7. Which version of odin do i have to use?

2)Do i need to do a factory reset before installing it? if answer is yes, do i have to use the 3 combo key to (home, volume up and power) in order to wipe data from there?.

Thank you!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
Firmwares are based on your location, and it might be easier to just download the latest KIES and let it update your phone for you without worries automatically, but do backup your contacts images etc to your PC or to a Google drive and KIES also has its own backup...follow instructions as given in KIES carefully

KIES used to be problematic, but its improving lately
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoboo:
The problem is that kies keep telling me that 2.3.3 is the lastest firmware for XEF. I live in south América and there is not any New firmware for my region, and my actual 2.3.3 firmware is from france. Thank you for your time!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
ok, if you want to use same France Firmware, you should download XWJW5/XXJW4/OXXJVC/Sbl (MultiCSC) or any other for Europe from Here and follow that guide using Odin3 1.85 or latest

Make sure your phone model is not i9000B (South America) with DMB TV as firmware for that would be different

Formatting SD card and factory reset would give you clean installation, but make sure you move all your important files and backups to PC or ext SD card for save keeping first
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoboo:
Which metod do i have to use to do the factory reset and format the sd card? Is it usefull to wipe cache and data? Thank you again and i think this is my last question lol..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
First UNDO any lag FIX , you may have applied, before doing any factory reset,

to Format SD card, you can do>menu>settings> storage> unmount Internal SD card> Format SD card

to factory reset, menu>settings>privacy>factory reset ,

yes also do the full wipes (depends on the recovery you have) for a clean installation

IF formating SD card is not your preference, you can skip it
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoboo:
The idea is to do a clean installation so i am thinking of formating the sd. This is my first experience with rom, odin and everything so i dont have recovery root or anything. I saw in the faq and in the forum that the metod to do the wipes is 3 key combo (home volume up and power) is that correct?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boborone:
Just wanted to say thank you OP for reading the forums and posting a clear question and most of all in Q&A. Thanks and welcome to the forums.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] SnowPluralism:

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Shankay:
Wrong section :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] makeyourself:
Should be in general S5830i section true, but anyway /efs folder is generally empty when the phone is fully booted in my experience. I think this is because /efs is just a mount point for /dev/bml15 which isn't actually mounted when you look in the folder. I wouldn't attempt to mess about with this partition manually in any way, people have corrupted their efs partitions by just trying to copy them.

If you do want to back it up then you can get Galaxy Toolbox on Google Play which will do the job, see

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25949902

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doky.sgtoolbox

Galaxy Toolbox is good because it has a restore option within the app.

Also, if you follow the instructions for "Full (firmware) backup with CWM to ODIN format" on the following thread then one of the files that this will spit out will be bml15_EFS.img, so this is another way to do it:

Nice looking speakers there.

When you plug those in, does the tablet still use the external speakers to project sound or does the sound just go straight to the plugged in speakers?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] b00mb00mchuck:
Sound only comes out of the Altec speakers... it only uses the USB for power... you still have to plug in a headphone jack and that kills the Nexus internal speakers sound
[Nexus 7 Accessories] metalwraith:
Yeah, the speakers are plugged into the headphone jack. Though I suppose I could always keep my netbook in the area to use as the power source.

I use Handcent SMS, which has the ability to use EMOJI (even Apple EMOJI) for SMS/MMS messaging. However, it is noted that EMOJI does not work across different carriers, so if you're on T-Mobile, you cannot send/receive EMOJI characters to someone on AT&T, and they can't send them to you. Not sure if it is just AT&T that doesn't play well with others or if it is a limitation of EMOJI and all carriers.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottXe:
In my opinion, it does not matter where to produce. It does matter who is the brand owner. Almost all Apple products are made in China. Are their products of poor quality! If the manufactory in a country cannot meet the quality standard, the brand owner will not put their product in there for manufacturing. All the customers are looking for the brand for taking decision to buy, not the manufacturing country. The country cannot change the quality but the quality is set by the brand owner. If the quality is not good, blame the brand owner as usual, not the manufacturing country as the quality is set by the brand owner. The world and each country must provide a fair trade environment to ensure a fair and healthy competition and the customers and product providers are the final winners.

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

I have learnt the Korean brand products made in Korea is better than any export products. Do anyone know why? I have learnt the same on Japanese products that Japanese are keen on quality than anyone in other countries. Thus they provide better products for local consumption and lower quality for export to meet their quality level. I am unsure if it is correct or not. The human being demands quality continuously once they discover the better quality can be achieved.

Thinking about selling my Galaxy S2 to buy a Galaxy Nexus.

Pros:

- Jelly Bean and future updates, working properly (right now CM10 for the S2 is problematic due to phone signal drops, battery draining, gps fixing and volume level problems)

- no camera shutter lag

- led notifications

- higher resolution

- better DAC (is it really?)

- better battery life (?)

Cons:

- heavier

- bigger, the size of the S2 is already a bit awkward for my hand

- no physical/soft buttons

- no SD card, inability to store my 16+ gb music colleciton.

What do you think about it, worth switching?

[Nexus 7 General] TECK:
Since I got Nexus 7, I was not able to use it as MTP device in Windows 7 64bits.

Yesterday, I checked the optional Windows updates and noticed a new Samsung MTP driver. So I updated the driver and when I connected the tablet running on 4.1.1, the device was not detected. Today, after I got the OTA update, I tried again to connect the tablet and it failed to detect the device properly.

These are the steps I completed, that fixed the MTP issue:

1) Open the Devices and Printers in Control Panel, the tablet should be listed under Unspecified devices.

2) Right click on it and select Properties.

3) Click on Change Settings button.

4) Go to Driver tab and click on Uninstall button.

Make sure you check the Delete Driver option, when you uninstall the driver.

I did not have to reboot the computer, by simply connecting the tablet Windows detected the new hardware and reinstalled the proper drivers.

Now I can access both my Nexus phone and tablet, using the same cable and through adb.

Not sure if the combination of both 4.1.2 and new Samsung drivers helped, but the above steps fixed the MTP detection issues I had. Check the Microsoft driver date, is from 2006???
