[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sssputnik:
Thanks, I went ahead and activated with a generic support email account we use.

Didn't really want to custom mod it, last thing I need is people with issues whilst on critical support calls with our clients.

BTW - Motoblur doesn't like activating through a SQUID content filter proxy either :)

(Had to either mod the filter or use phone network to activate.)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DefiAnt2:
Defy plus, Defy +, Bypass MotoBlur - SUCCESS!

Well, if anyone is still using Defys in 2017... This may be of interest.

I had this same problem. The Defy plus, MB526, ROM presents the Swype keyboard using the Menu key at the MotoBlur screen. This stopped me and everyone else who has tried, entering the Motoblur Bypass sequence, as there is no ALT key. There may be a Swype sequence, but I couldn't find it, though I did get into something somehow, as I got a message "Try again" at one point. I tried for a while, as I'm not one to give up.

In the end I figured out a way...

Forget the Swype keyboard. You'll need a SIM installed, but it doesn't have to be active. An old one is ok. Then do this:

At the Motoblur activation screen, proceed like this:

Start > Next > Next => "Data Settings"

Select "No Data plan"

Next => "Connection needed"

Select "Setup a Wi-Fi connection", Next => Wi-Fi screen.

Click Wi-Fi enable check box to turn on Wi-Fi.

Choose "Add Wi-Fi network"

A Data entry screen will appear, including Network SSID textbox. Don't bother entering anything.

Long Tap in the textbox. " [Edit Text] Input method" should appear.

Tap Input method, select "Multi-touch keyboard".

Voila! Swype keyboard disabled!

Now press Back > Back > Back until you return to the "Welcome to MOTOBLUR" screen.

Now Long Tap the Menu key (4 squares, bottom left)

The normal Multi-touch keyboard should appear. Yay!

Now proceed with the Alt-E, Alt-E, BLUROFF sequence as in earlier posts.

After the last F, there is a bit of a delay. Then, you should be in!

Cheers.
[Motorola Atrix HD] IP IHI II IL:
Ok, I'm a pretty savvy guy as far as Android is concerned, normally, but being that our beloved AHD is so different, I'm having some trouble deciding whether to pull the trigger on some of our newest options as far as dev-work is concerned.

I know that Mattlgroff & Hashcode are 2 of the best known names in Motodev. Before the AHD, I had the (now) OG RAZR, but CWM was available as a custom recovery... I'm not used to SS, and I'm a little tentative to flash anything with some of the problems I've seen some have... To be honest, the only reason I came to the AHD is I lost my job a year ago, and haven't been able to find work outside of my fiancée's daycare. I CAN'T jack this phone up, cause I can't afford to replace it... I want mattlgroff's ROM, but with all the unfamiliar steps, I have to admit I'm a lil scurred... Lol.

Is there any chance someone could provide a step by step, "how to" coming from stock rooted to ROMified with links to correct backwards & forward files? Seems as though a lot of what's been posted assumes that you have knowledge of SS, and such, which I think many of us may not have...

Sorry to request such a FAQ, but it's possible that it could help a large number of those who are already having problems...

Deep rooted in the mAtrix HD...

I know this might be a really dumb question but ill ask anyways..

Is there anyway i can run an htc vivid in virtual box?or some other kind of thing like that?

i tend to brick my phone a lot trying all these dumb things so i want

to find a way to test them somehow before i do it on my phone so i dont have to keep recovering it.

any help or ideas?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeRo2o9:
You can run android in an emulator but not for an exact phone
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] eddied042092:
So I can't let's say, tweak a ROM and see if it'll run?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] XxSHaDoWxSLaYeRxX:
its called android x86

http://www.android-x86.org/

choose the asus ones because they usually are more compatible with other computers. you might have a problem with wifi though and will have to find a way to install the wifi drivers for your wifi antennae onto android.

DONT FORGET TO THANK MEE :))
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] eddied042092:
Thanks I'll try it out soon. I just gotta wait til I got some time
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeRo2o9:
That's not running vivid software
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
Apparently you can do this from the SDK emulator if you have the ROM in system.img format (which I believe dsixda's kitchen can do, don't remember off the top of my head). Probably won't work with an extracted system image though, but I've never tried so can't confirm.. anyway

Windows PC

1. Download the Android SDK (which includes the emulator) from here.

2. Extract the downloaded zip.

3. Run a command prompt, and change to the 'tools' directory of the SDK (or add the tools directory to your path).

4. Type 'android list target'

5. Note the 'id' number of the '1.5' target (in my case it's '2')

6. Type 'android create avd -n enhanced -t 2' (substitute 2 with the target number determined above if required)

7. You will be prompted to create a hardware profile. This is optional, but I selected 'yes' and accepted the defaults for everything except RAM, where I gave it 256MB.

8. Download your system.img

9. Copy the above file to the location of the enhanced.avd directory ('C:\Documents and Settings\\.android\enhanced.avd' on Windows XP, and 'C:\Users\\.android\enhanced.avd' on Windows Vista).

10. You're ready! Type 'emulator -avd enhanced' to run! Note: inital boot may take a few minutes!

If you get Java errors, you need to download the JDK for your system

Mac OSX

1. Download the Android SDK (which includes the emulator)

2. Extract the downloaded zip.

3. Run Terminal, and change to the 'tools' directory of the SDK (or add the tools directory to the path settings in ~/.profile).

4. Type './android list target'

5. Note the 'id' number of the '1.5' target (in my case it's '2')

6. Type './android create avd -n enhanced -t 2' (substitute 2 with the target number determined above if required)

7. You will be prompted to create a hardware profile. This is optional, but I selected 'yes' and accepted the defaults for everything except RAM, where I gave it 256MB.

8. Download your system.img

9. Copy the above file to ~/.android/avd/enhanced.avd/system.img (e.g. if you saved it to and unzipped it to downloads enter 'cp ~/Downloads/system.img ~/.android/avd/enhanced.avd/system.img')

10. You're ready! Type './emulator -avd enhanced' to run! Note: inital boot may take a few minutes!

If you get Java errors, you need to download the JDK for your system

Vivid runs android. Android x86 is android. You can always add in sense etc. After so yeah
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] eddied042092:
Which option would you recommend for someone new to all this?

The androidx86 option or the other android sdk one?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] XxSHaDoWxSLaYeRxX:
android x86. easy for n00bs, which i am assuming you are lol (no offense).

I know I am new to XDA and what not.. but I been flashing CWM roms to my phone for months, normally i never use odin for anything because its not my cup of tea...

Last night I was flashing a ODIN rom to my phone and something went wrong...

I managed to get the ROM straightened out and working... but now my service is screwed...

I am missing a ton of folders and files from my root folders... and I cannot use my phone for anything, 3g, 4g, Calls, MMS, SMS... nothing

My IMEI is missing and just says 0 and my ERI says none... but i believe i was successful in reinserting my imei.

Verizon swapped out many sim cards and still nothing... it also askes me to switch to global mode every 30 secs..

Please let me know if you can guide me though restoring my phone back to functionality..

Thanks

Screenshots are in the attachments

Well looks like you lost your imei bud. If you would have read while. And such you had to back your imei if you did then simply restore if now you have to use that qspt to get your imei

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DrDandroid:
Ok, I tried this programs and the others... still no luck on restoring service.

Anything else I could do??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Addiso:
So you tried going back to stock and all?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DrDandroid:
I removed CWM Recovery,,, back to stock recovery...

restored the samsung official VZW rom and binary.

I removed the superuser and the unlock tools...

I still have no ERI and no service..

when i remove the sim card it tells me to insert it... obviously

when i put it back in an reboot it says "searching for service" and "everything i screenshotted... the imei is what i inputed with the tool in the imei tool thread you guys gave me...

however my wifi does work and my rom boots just fine... and when i factory reset my number shows up in the MDN field...

it honestly seems like the way the phone would communicate with the towers is screwed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TXI Kaze:
Have you tried factory resetting using the dialer code on a stock ROM? I had the same issue even after I ODINd back to stock until I used the code.

I am really stumped haha...

this is why i don't use ODIN.. I am not experience enough with it..

Alright, this just comes off as being a jerk. It sounds like he did (try to) backup his IMEI. Also, I don't see him blaming anyone for his "mishap". He was also very polite in asking for help. So was there a need in being a jerk(not just directed at you, as you were one of 3 or so to act as if he was wrong here)? I mean isn't the community here to help people? I could understand if he said ......OMG, I brickated my fone.....I hate you guys, you borked my phone.......But he did neither of those. It sounds like he read the guide, and still something got screwed up along the way. It happens. But there really isn't a need for posts like this.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 99cobra1:
Hello!

First post here and let me start off by saying i have no experience what so ever with rooting or custom roms . Purchased a N7 today that the seller said is running a custom rom. The wallpaper says clean rom so maybe that means something. It is running 4.1.2 and is prompting me to update....i assume to 4.2. My question is can i update? If so where does that put me? Will the update put me back to stock or is the device still rooted or running a custom rom?

Hey...i warned you...i know nothing about this but this appears to be the place to figure it out.

I have been reading for quite some time and could not find a clear answer.

Thanks in advance!!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kodiack99:
You probably wont be able to update, you would have to flash back to stock 4.1.2. first .It does a check of certain stock files and system apk's before it will update,you would be better off going to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and getting the full stock 4.2 and doing a flash using wugs,there are alot of tutorials on here for directions.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AraDreamer:
Flashing the stock image over the device is fairly simple. I'm not adv savvy at all, but the wugs toolkit works SO LONG AS YOU GET YOUR DRIVERS SET UP RIGHT. Wigs also requires you to be running Windows. But wugs toolkit will allow you to flash the factory OK mage and then root it so you can use stickmount and ad away and such.-Ara

Hi, my only experience with flashing and such was with my hd2, which did not have a warranty. My s3 does now, so I'd like to keep it, but I'm so used to the freedom of root. Just have some concerns.

Using the method in this thread doesn't trip the flash counter. I've already updated to JB before rooting. So does this mean that if I needed to take my phone back for warranty, I do not need to unroot? How would I even unroot, flash the original unrooted stock? Do I need to back that up from my phone before rooting? What if my phone is physically broken and cannot be unrooted?

I keep seeing references to stock recovery for the s3. Does it do nandroid backups like CWM? How do I access stock recovery? Thanks.
