I see you've been warned about where to post this kind of questions.

To go back to stock firmware, download the file for your device (Spizzy01 put the link in the post above), and flash it with FlashTool.

If you have no knowledge about how to do this, search the forum more about how to use these tools and what you need on your PC for this to work. This is a general question and there is probably a topic regarding how to do this.

In FTF file is already everything you need, ROM, Kernel and everything.

After that can lock the bootloader with another FTF specific, I think this is included when you install FlashTool.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaaviad:
Correct me if i'm wrong but our Atrix has a TFD LCD. This screen is so bad. Before the Atrix i had a Milestone and the screen was so much better it had a TFT LCD.

So my question is: is there an TFT LCD screen to atrix? Because if I'm right there is not much technology differences between them
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesummoner101:
It is a TFT LCD.

There is a big difference between similar products from different manufacturers (of internal LCD not phone)

Our device pales against AMOLED displays, especially in direct sunlight. But the AMOLED display is different on different devices too.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaaviad:
This site indicates that they have a TFD

compare-cellphones.org/Motorola-ATRIX-4G-vs-Motorola-DEFY

And they also claim that the Defy screen has a better disply and as I mentioned I had a Milestone and it's screen had better colors and picture quality.

The Atrix screen has better PPI and higher resolution so if they have the same type LCD, then Atrix must be better than Defy and Milestone but I have both and as I said Defy/ Milestone screen is better.

I thought maybe I damage the screen when unlocking bootloader and Changing roms but my friend bought new Atrix and he has the same screen. I would appreciate your help in solving this problem. Many thanks.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesummoner101:
This may sound stupid, but have you checked the brightness settings? As I've never compared the two devices you're talking about, I don't know what to tell you.

I have compared it to my brothers s2 & s3 and friends iPhone and can say those displays are better, but as far as usability goes, I'm completely happy with the Atrix display.

Perhaps post a picture of the two devices side by side?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adrenaline82:
Long time lurker, finally joined up. Had realized this was a problem for a bit. But, I would like to root my phone and with it not recognizing, I'm not seeing how it's possible. Tried all the normal things, restarted computer (MBP 17") restored phone to factory settings, tried different cables, played with all the different default connection settings, turned usb debugging on and off. The phone just charges, nothing shows up to choose connection type like it used to. The GF's Evo3d works fine. Tried doing some research to see if there are different drivers for the mac on the regular evo4g vs the 3d, and it doesn't appear to be. Kinda at a loss of what is going on. It is possible that the pins inside the usb on the phone are damaged?

Any direction would be appreciated.

Thanks

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NxNW:
Just as a basic troubleshooting step, you might consider trying to connect it to a different computer.Or test using a different cable.

And yes, USB ports do fail on Evos sometimes.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 628:
Hello, I'm having an issue with my HTC Vivid after I dropped it. It's stuck on the boot screen when I power it on. The phone is completely stock, and I'm hoping I can be guided in the right direction. I did a search for this issue, and found a thread on loading something off my micro SD card, but I can't find the same thread anymore. I've also tried using the official AT&T Vivid ICS RUU from my desktop, but it wouldn't detect my phone.

I've attached an image of my phone, the model, and my boot options.

Thanks in advance!

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
You need to make sure you have the HTC drivers....

I forget where to get them... I think there's a thread with the minimal version without HTC sync...

Once you got that... you shut off the phone... pull the battery... put it back in...power and volume down... select fastboot... plug the phone in... make sure it says fastboot USB... then run the ruu...

Success! Thank you!

For anyone else who has this same issue, I used the drivers from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1450105

Hi all,

I had the issue where I prepared the microSD card, but the HD+ wouldn't boot into ClockWorkMod recovery from it.

I solved the problem by holding down the "volume up" key during the boot.

I suspect a lot of people may be running into the same problem, as there are a lot of complaints about the device not booting from the card. Maybe the "volume up" instruction could be added to the first post of the CM10 dev thread?

Exchanging now, good thing for warrenty, just for develop perposes tho.

What did you choose in recovery? What recovery? If you did what I think you did then you neglected to read the instructions and there is no problem but you.
[HTC One X+] mfpreach:
There is a thread on how us Telus users initially had problems because we flashed Int'l recovery because we are not ATT (this has been updated). We were always able to get a connection in fastbook to fix the issue. Were you able to connect in Fastboot?

I did same thing. Reboot into fastboot and reflash the TWRP recovery. Should be all good after that. Will need to flash a zip though and then fastboot flash the kernel. You will boot again though.
[Nexus 4 General] Cor-master:
I really don't get why so many review sites are writing off the nexus 4 as some terrible device stating its "outdated" because it has no lte. Honestly I think lte is ahead of its time. It's useless without unlimited data, and personally I came from an lte phone and can't even tell a difference other than speed test results.

If it was just 3G I could understand more but hspa+ is more than capable on at&t and t-mobile.
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
I think a big reason for the complaints from review sites is because many of them live and work in heavily populated areas. The hspa networks there are congested and speeds are dramatically slower than some of the smaller markets.

I live in a Minneapolis suburb and I get 20 Mbps down and 4 Mbps up on T-Mobile. Plenty fast for me. My fiancé is still on Verizon with a galaxy nexus and she doesn't even get LTE at our house. :)
[Nexus 4 General] Cor-master:
Yeah not having lte on a Verizon phone is definitely a bigger deal because cdma is incapable of hspa+ speeds and 3G is about half the speed of gsm networks. I live in Greenwood, a suburb of Indianapolis, and I get pretty good hspa +speeds, usual between 3 to 12mbps, AT&T. Sure it's a far cry from the 30 to 50 I got on lte, but really can't tell a difference
[Nexus 4 General] jmcsk8:
I live downtown in Indy, do you by chance know if ATT or TMO is faster around Indy?
[Nexus 4 General] Cor-master:
Not sure but I think at&t has better reception around here. However you can't beat the price on Tmobile, you actually get a discount for owning your own phone. I though about trying out T mobile but I makes me a bit concerned when I compare coverage maps and areas that are on 2G only for AT&T show no coverage on T mobile!
[Nexus 4 General] luckylui:
I live in a suburb outside of Chicago. I had vzw and my LTE speeds where the same as T-Mobile HSPA+.. Cant really tell a difference :)
[Nexus 4 General] jmcsk8:
Yeah, I know what you mean.

I am getting ready to switch from Sprint which according some sites I have checked and speaking with friends that have T Moblie, I should have the same if not better coverage.
[Nexus 4 General] Cor-master:
Well the nice thing about an unlocked phone is you can get prepaid sims and try before you device on one with prepaid sims. I though about grabbing a prepaid Tmobile sim and trying it for a month, though I'm under contract for my stupid HTC vivid until March of 2014 anyway, ugh...

Thank god for unlocked nexus devices, now I can get a nice phone at a reason price without committing to AT&T for 2 more years every time!

[General Questions and Answers] konrad.lorenz:
Hi!

I'm surprised, nobody asked this already, at least I haven't found it:

Is there a way of flashing/upgrading my GT-S8500 phone a custom firmware/newer stock firmware using linux?

I know, s1 have to use multiloader for flashing, and it's windows only, but maybe some expert can tell me, if there's some alternative, even if it's harder/longer, way of reproducing what multiloader is doing, in linux. Thx in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] ArcDatum:
What exactly are you trying to do. I'm not familiar with the s1 and it's 'multiloader'. Are you referring to dual booting? Sorry if i'm missing your question completely. Some of us at ArcDatum do embedded systems research with ARM boards and have various multibooting devices booting anything from basic stock android stuff to gentoo/arch linux distros both separately and in dual booting environments. We use dev boards like the BeagleBoard and Pandaboards.

If you're trying to flash something weird onto ur phone though, chances are you can't or shouldn't. The only reason why it's safe for us to do it with the dev boards is because the System on a Chip is configured (by pulling specific pins high or low) to boot from the SD card and read the bootloader from there. In the case of most phones, you have locked bootloaders and no way to change that without risking destroying your boot process.
[General Questions and Answers] konrad.lorenz:
I'm trying to upgrade the factory system of my phone to a newer factory one, or to turkocfw (at first try, i'd be happy with the factory one).

Basically this is done through Kies -but thats windows only- or Multiloader -which is also windows only-, but my laptop has linux on it. I want to know, if there is a way, if I can manually do on linux, what kies and multiloader does on windows.

[General Questions and Answers] konrad.lorenz:
That's the operating system of my notebook. I want to use that computer for upgrading/flashing my phone.

Yes, but the function is 'defect by design', it is FUBAR, that function doesn't work (not only for me, it doesn't work for anyone using the same system on their phone (bada1.2)). I don't know, if it is working on bada 2.0, because I can't upgrade it.

It should, but looks like it doesn't. Wherever I've looked (looks like I cannot post outside links to prove my point, sorry :S), I've found the same advice: "Don't use Kies in a VM!"

Thanx, I had a look at there, but didn't see anything related :(

So, the question remains the same, if anyone knows, how (exactly) multiloader works, and that working can be reproduced on linux (without multiloader)...

Or can this be achieved using Heimdall?

Rooted and installed Beats Audio. Didn't like the results, so I tried to uninstall. Followed the guide provided by the installer developer where I delete certain files and whatnot. Now No music effects apps will work like Music FX or Volume+.

So what's the best way for me to fix this problem? Just flash to a new ROM and start over? If so, I can do this without an external SD card correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sRDennyCrane:
Well, the order is, 1) power down, remove battery, reboot, 2) soft reset, 3) hard reset. IF that doesn't fix it, a reflash should do it... but honestly, I'd dig a little deeper first. Clear your caches of data, clear out your deleted files, yada yada yada/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
I will also add that music effects apps don't generally work well with each other especially when they do the same thing. I will suggest using Acid sound mod with awesome beats(modified beats audio) for the Samsung Galaxy phones. Acid sound mods are optimized for certain devices so they pretty much did the work for you. You have to go to system recovery to do a factory reset to delete the beats audio you've installed.

I have rooted phone with custom rom Paranoid Android(4.1.2) and stock kernel. I was wondering, before even ICS android version, I absolutely loved the default hardware search button(beside the menu and home key) where when you press it during web browsing, it will read as the search function to enter in a url instead of manually touching the screen to do it. Now after ICS I think when they implemented the new search key on our phones, it now brings up a new page from whatever we were doing before on the phone from gaming, to browsing or whatever, to the google page which imo has never once served a purpose for me to use.

How would I change this hardware function back to what it was before? When you can use the button to search on anything rather than bringing up the google page?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varesa:

I have ran to the same problem, being used to being able to press the hardware search key, for example in the google play store app, to go to the search.

It is not that hard to press the on-screen search button in theory, but I have really got used to using the hardware key. Also it is kind of annoying, as the google now is not exactly the fastest thing loading on the NS, and it takes some time. Sometimes, when doing something else, I accidentally press the search button, and the I have to wait for it to load up before I can close it...
