[Motorola Atrix 2] jsknair:
i have been using my inspire 4g for few years now with the stock 2.3.3 w/o any problem until i accepted the update notification from at&t for 2.3.5 which i hate now. Long story short, it just made my exchange email crap and it became a burden. I do not know anything about rooting so bought a used Atrix 2 hoping to have ICS on it.

But the phone came withe the following:

Android Version: 2.3.5

System Version: 55.11.11.MB865.ATT.en.US

Build Number: 5.5.1-175_EDFFW1-11

As soon as I power on, the setup screen comes in where I enter my google details and it takes me to home screen and all is well. But when I click the 'Contacts' icon, it takes me to AT&T address book directly and starts rotating endlessly. Never give me an option to disable AT&T address book in contacts. It goes directly there and never completes even though I have data and wifi enabled. I tried at&t support as i don't have at&t phonebook registered - they asked me to upgrade to ICS.

Then I tried the OTA ICS upgrade and it always says the 'The device is upto date and no software upgrade is necessary'. It never upgrades the OS. At this point, at&t said they can't do anything and asked me to talk to Motorola. Motorola said this phone is running a version that is not supported so they can't help either. I have been googling and reading a lot of posts in this forum for help without much success.

I did check out the following and asked for help there:

Can someone please point me a thread or give me steps i need to follow to get this phone out of stock and working condition?

I am also working on getting my inspire out of stock OS but would love to get this phone fixed first.

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 41rw4lk:
If you want to get the official ICS then here is the fxz for AT&T US phones (if you are somewhere else or using a different carrier, then you probably don't want this and need to supply more info.)

A couple of things to note. Once you upgrade to the official ICS there is NO going back to Gingerbread (unless someone hacked something together and I missed it), but it's best to assume you won't. Make backups before you do anything, better safe than sorry. If you don't like not having an option to revert to Gingerbread, then there are other options, but not the one mentioned.

If all is good and you want to flash the Official ICS, then you can visit the noob guide which will tell you how to flash a FXZ and what is needed.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jsknair:
Thank you. I really don't like the idea of not going back to Gingerbread but at this time my priority is to get this atrix 2 up and running. So am ok to get the official ics but the following says i should go to 2.3.6 in order to get to ics. Is that still true for the link you provided?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1779968
[Motorola Atrix 2] 41rw4lk:
The link you posted is for ICS Leak#1, that will get you on ICS and as long as you're on Leak #1 only, you can revert to Gingerbread by using a specific FXZ from the link you posted. Your choice. The Official ICS that I posted has everything and will overwrite everything, so whether you flash from 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 it's going to upgrade the bootloader and system. Just remember, if you use the Offical ICS, then no more Gingerbread. Personally, I haven't wanted or needed Gingerbread since I got ICS.
[Motorola Atrix 2] rao_yousuf:
Dear jsknair.

You can directly flash with OTA ICS update, no need to go to 2.3.4 then update to 2.3.6 the OTA ICS.

I very easy as other guy said study noob guide. After that within 10 min you will be on ICS and its really good you don't think to go back to GB.:)

I like to thanks Jimbirdman :thumbup:to help me for update my Atrix 2.

Here is the link to the AT&T ICS FXZ, you will flash that with RSD lite 6.0:

awesome, i'll have to try this in the morning.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] skim32:
I would be careful following those directions. After many hours of countless testing (see here), I've come to the conclusion that those directions are best suited for people running roms on 4.1.1 and not 4.1.2. If the rom you are running is based on the N7100 or N7105 4.1.2, then don't use any of the NFC APKs and LIBs from that file. It will actually cause more problems. Instead, just do the following.

1. Change build.prop to the following:

ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus

ro.product.name=yakju

ro.product.device=maguro

2. Reboot.

3. Copy the wallet apk from the zip file included in the post to /system/app/

4. Change permission of the file. Under the "Read" check owner, group, and others. Under "Write" check owner and press ok.

5. Reboot.

6. Open wallet and set everything up (add your account and add your cards.)

7. Change your build.prop back to default.

8. Reboot.

9. Profit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dayloooo:
I followed this exactly, but when I got to 5, after the reboot, Google Wallet disappeared.

Edit: My mistake. Biggest noob move ever. :(

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] itsjdmyo:
I did the above but Google wallet kept hanging on "setting up wallet. This may take up to 5 minutes"...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] skim32:
Which of the above? What rom are you running? If you're runninga 4.1.1 rom, follow the initial directions. If you are running any rom based off the internation 7100/5, then try what I said.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jyazzie110:
Did the steps for the 4.1.2 version and wallets keeps closing once I open it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dayloooo:
Sorry about that!

Currently, I am on CleanRom 3.3 - 4.1.2. Rogers SGH-i317m.

Like I said earlier, I followed everything to the letter. While installing Google Wallet, once I copy the apk into my /system/app folder and reboot, the Wallet apk disappears. The reason why it disappeared is because for some odd reason, Titanium Backup froze the app, so I defrosted, and there it was. Though, when I continued the steps, wallet apk kept force closing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] skim32:
Hmm. Did at any time did you flash the NoteII-lib_nfc-fix-r87.zip or use the nfc apks from that file? If you did, you must start over and reflash your phone with a fresh install of Cleanrom 3.3. Also be wary of restoring from TiBu. Especially if you ran a backup after flashing or using any of the files from NoteII-lib_nfc-fix-r87.zip. Because if you did, it updates like 270 apps on your phone and those backups are no longer good for use. I ran into similar issues and didn't realize where the issue was coming from. Until I realized I was restoring a bad TiBu.

Also, just making sure, but when you installed the Google Wallet app, you used the Apk from the NoteII-lib_nfc-fix-r87.zip right and not from the Play Store? Also, you shouldn't install the apk, you are supposed to just copy it to the /system/app folder.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jyazzie110:
Same thing happened to me so I opened it afte4 rebbot kept gettn force close. So I deleted it rebooted and downloaded from the play store. From there I set it up with my pin and added a card. Then I went to data/app and ONLY deleted*not uninstalled* the wallet apk and rebooted. Now I took the apk from the zip file and placed it in the system/app folder, set corredt permissions and rebooted again. Then I opened up the wallet apk again and had no errors. Just to be sure I rebooted once more and tried the wallet app again. No errors so I changed my build.prop back to normal. App still runs with no errors. Will report back later today when I try using it at mcdonalds. Hopefully this towns mcdonalds nfc payment reader works.

Btw I did not use any of the apks or files besides the wallet apk in the zip before getting a force close on wallet.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adaltavo:
Hi all, well this is my question. Few days ago i got my efs folder corrupted and my imei damaged, my phone had no signal. Then i got it to a place where repair cellphones and they got my SGS4G fixed. Heres the question, qhen i look into the restored efs folder i noticed that nv_data files are in a folder called root inside efs folder, and also, they are small files, i mean, they are 706kb files when they are supoused to be of 2mb atleast. So i wonder, is everything ok?, its possible to put another rom qith no problem ? help please.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
All you had to do really was restore your phone back to stock and it rebuilds the imei. I've changed imei's on a phone by flashing over a different efs file and when I used 1 click to back to stock, the original imei was back.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
While we are discussing this. Have you copied the folder and transferred it to your pc yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adaltavo:
No, only in my sd card :eek:, but dont worry, i havent flsahed anything yet, ill do it when i before to start :). And man, i tried flash back to stock rom, but it didnt worked, my imei cntinued on 0s. But well, i still wondering if its ok that my nv_data files are so small.

Yeah hahaha, its such a disaster have it on zeros. But well, i got it fixed now, but flashing to stock rom didnt help, and with "stock" i mean to flash to original rom that T-Mobile develoaps for my mobile, its supoused that if u fo that ull get your imei back, but it is not always the solution :/.

Check out my index thread here, it lists all the ROMs: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671237

They are all "good". Calling one "good" implies that the remaining ones are "bad" (or at least "less good"). There is really no such thing as a "best" ROM, as everyone's needs, preferences, and tastes are different, and that is why there are so many wonderful ROMs to choose from. This is also why "best ROM" threads (which this is, in reality) are not allowed here. Surprised that mod just moved the thread, and did not close it. Maybe due to the hboot question that was subsequently asked.

Just start trying some ROMs, and see what works for you. If you need a start point, the question about ROMs has been asked countless times already. Its not hard to read though a few of these threads and see what people are using, for some ideas. But keeping in mind that just because a ROM is popular, does not mean its the best for you. I've had instances in the past, where the best ROM for me was a lesser known one, and it worked better for me than the more popular choices.

---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

With hboot 1.14, the hole by which boot.img was flashed from recovery was plugged. So check in hboot/bootloader if you are on hboot 1.14. If so, whenever you flash most custom ROMs, you will need to extract boot.img and flash using fastboot as described in Question 4 here.

If on a previous hboot, you don't need to worry about this. The other exception is CleanROM and ViperXL, as the AROMA installer for these ROMs will flash the boot.img for you.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mongii:
Hello, i recently bought a certified pre owned nook tablet from ebay. B&N was selling it on ebay. It was advertised as 16 gb. So i just got it today and the box does say that it is 16 gb. And also, in the about info of the nook it says that it is BNTV250. But when i check the storage info it says that 5.91 gb is for B&N content while it says 8gb is for other content. So my question is, is my nook tablet 8gb or 16gb. And how do i know if it has 1gb of ram. Thats the important thing to me anyway and not much the storage capacity. Hope someone can help. Thanks. On the back of the device it says model no: BNTV250, IC: 8961A-BNTV250A, FFC ID: XHHBNTV250-A.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
You have a 16GB tablet with 1GB RAM. The other ~2GB or so of storage is being used up by the many other partitions that are necessary to make the device function.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mongii:
yeah man i also read on B&N support site that 5gb for B&N, and 8GB for other content setup means that it was re partitioned at B&N stores.

Thanks, so yeah to everyone else who has a similar issue. I do have a 16GB nook tablet thanks!

Hey guys, so I took the plunge and updated from CM10 to CM10.1 today (20121218 build) and I am here to report that Android 4.2 is pretty slick. For those that are going to update, here are a couple of things you might also see:

1. My wireless connectivity was a little sketchy after the update. I had to go into the list of APNs and restore the defaults...after that, everything was fine.

2. On startup, the clock app crashes. In order to stop that (and set new alarms) I had to clear data from the app.

3. If you want to enable developer options, it's hidden now and has to be enabled from the about phone menu.

4. The new features are pretty cool, IMO.

Now my million-dollar question:

Android 4.2 is supposed to bring multi-user support, but I can't find it or figure out how to enable it. From the quick settings panel there is a tile called user switcher, but when you select it it brings up a screen that only allows me to select the current (default) user. There's not much written about it yet...are there any knowledgable peeps out there that can help a brother out and drop some knowledge?

Thanks for reading!
