[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Peter Poelman:
Ah excellent. We all knew it wasn't, but now at least someone has tested it.

It's really much better not to speak of bootloader in connection with the modem part. The bootloader resides in the first 256 kilobytes of the main ROM. The rest of this ROM (32 MB - 256 kB) is taken up by the operating system, with a little room to spare for contacts and other things which are explicitly saved to flash by the user. The OS ROM can be flashed using the RUU program (also called Programme A by HTC), but it can also be flashed using the bootloader, residing in the same ROM.

The modem is a different contraption alltogether. It has its own processor, RAM (256 kB) and ROM (4 MB), and is possibly only wired to the main processor with a serial port (operating at 115 kbps). The modem holds the software loaded in using the Radio Stack Upgrade (also called Programme B by HTC). The 900/1800 and the 900/1900 modems have both different software and different hardware. Flashing software of one into the other makes it not work anymore, and we're not sure whether there's always a way back.

We're learning more and more about the modem upgrade process. But we still advise against playing around with the modem. Upgrade if you have to (maybe skipping 4.14 and wait for higher versions if you haven't upgraded yet), but if you're not deeply technically inclined then don't **** with it beyond that unless you wanna risk losing it.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonbruce:
I have a Motorola Atrix 4G on Bell Mobility. Currently the phone will not boot at all. The phone is out of warranty.

When this started I began by searching through the xda forums and found several similar problems. Most pointed to the sleep-of-death or a charging adapter problem. I have tried charging with the Motorola adapter that came with the phone, a USB cable and the Motorola Lapdock. None of these have provided any happy. Each time I tried, I left the phone overnight, when I checked on it, the phone and battery were cold. I tested a known-working battery from another Atrix and the phone would still not boot.

Some other searches point to a factory cable. I bought one on Ebay however the phone will not boot. I tested the cable on a known-working Atrix and it works fine. I did notice that when I plug the factory cable in to my phone and in to my Windows 7 PC, it detects *something*. Under device manager I see an unknown device called "APX". So far Google and xda searches haven't been able to provide me with a correct answer.

When I plug in the regular USB cable the green LED turns on for a while, if I touch the power button, the green LED goes out. RSD Lite does not detect anything, I assume this is because the phone is not in RSD mode.

I have tried combinations of volume buttons/power button as well, both with the wall charger and with the factory cable. Nothing displays on the screen at all no matter what I've tried. The phone had the stock install from Bell however was rooted with SuperOneClick (obtained from xda forums and installed many months ago) and had no third-party apps on it.

This death seemed to start slowly, at first battery life was at times terrible, then it moved on to not wanting to power on for a while if the battery died or the phone was turned off when the battery was low. Removing/re-inserting the battery several times typically helped. Eventually the phone got so bad, when it booted it would just crash repeatedly with a message about motorola.home.something (sorry I don't remember exactly what). Hitting force close would just bring the message back up again. I left the phone off overnight and the next morning, R.I.P. my Atrix :(

I have access to Windows XP or 7 as well as Linux.

Any help would be appreciated. Also I apologize for the long-winded post, I'm trying to provide as much information as I can.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xerox98:
I had this problem to, I freaked out, what I needed to do was to get another Atrix (in this case my Uncles) and make sure that the battery in it is FULLY CHARGED, then I took out my battery (in the broken phone) and put in his, then I got a solid green LED, then I had to leave it on the charger overnight, after that the M would show, but that was it, so I then went into fastboot and flashed the ICS Leak, and ta-da.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonbruce:
I had tried that before, but I can't remember if I had charged the battery full. I'll give it a shot today, thanks!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonbruce:
I've tried that with no luck. I should also note that the factory cable bypasses the battery, potentially eliminating any battery problems.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barry_:
It's possible that your phone is finished. The 'motorola.home' error is usually caused by something you've updated (google search?) but I would doubt that it would cause your phone to not even start up.

At this point, I might be inclined to open the phone up (http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola+Atrix+4G+Teardown/4964/1) and see if you can see anything obvious?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonbruce:
Update. I found this ... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11901016&postcount=75 and now instead of "APX" in Windows device manager, I have "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices".

It looks like NVFlash might be something I need next. In other news, the phone when plugged in via the factory cable, is actually very slightly warm. It's the first new sign of life I've seen in this thing for a few days.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonbruce:

Any other thoughts on this would be great. Even if I'm able to ensure the device is wiped, I could send it in. There are work files on there (I know, I know, I'm an idiot) I can't have out in the wild.

Is that the only ways?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
Are you trying to brick it? Usually the only way the phone will brick is if you flash a wrong rom on it like a rom meant for another phone or a kernel not meant for the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
A ROM can't brick you. It's the kernel that bricks you. If you want to try, flash a ROM from another phone and then flash a kernel for the Hercules and see what happens (bootloop on Samsung logo).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CE20934:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Cody42:
I don't think he's trying to find out how to brick, but more like trying to find out how to avoid bricking.

I just knew it was a possibility and didn't want that, lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Capadac:
if you do a odin flash and the phone gets disconnected before its finished flashing the important files like the sbl, zimage, or modem thats a definite way to hard brick! (happened to me when i had a vibrant)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
unlocked bootloader is not the same as unlocked sim, so when you bought it unlocked the seller probably mean't the bootloader.

I was told it would work with tmobile - so i assumed that would of been a sim unlock. guess i was wrong. Either way I know nothing of this type of stuff and just want a working phone. searching posts it seems the sim unlock code will not work if it's not on a 'stock rom' but I dont have a copy of this because i didn't change it. It has viperXL 3.2.5 So if i'm comprehending all of this I need to get a bootloader and go back to a stock rom (?) Sorry this is really all new to me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
it only has to be a sense rom which ViperXL is. there is no end user method to sim unlock without paying for it, so you'd have to buy an unlock code or ask the person you bought it from if he meant sim unlocked or bootloader unlocked.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tweek69:
I did purchase a unlock code and it didn't work. That's when I hound a post about someone saying they had issues when it wasn't on a 'stock' flash. Do you think the viper xl isn't the problem then? Cause if not I'd be more then happy to just leave it on

if you haven't got your unlock code to work you could try a more stockish sense rom like cleanrom

HTC One X running latest ViperX,

When I activate the Android camera the ringtone volume increases to maximum then returns to normal when camera is exited.

This behaviour is not replicated using 3rd party camera apps, I can lower the volume when in the camera app but next time it is opened the same thing happens.

Does anyone know of either a solution or which other processes may be triggered when the camera starts so I can trace the problem back.

Very annoying as when composing a picture of a sleeping cat with ringtone originally set low (shutter sound off) I may receive a call or message which now blares at full volume, thus waking my subject!
[HTC One X] mitchelll001:
My HTC One X was fine, running BladeX ROM for about a month, when it suddenly started telling me that some processes had unexpectedly stopped. "android.process.acore" and "com.process.htcdialer" are what was popping up the most however you could not run any app without it crashing.

I tried to fix this by flashing the latest version of BladeX, I did a full wipe as well as erasing the cache\dalvic multiple times. This did not fix the problem and now the phone would sometimes refuse to boot, sometimes it would get stuck at the HTC boot screen, sometimes it would boot but was unusable due to the errors i mentioned earlier and sometimes it would just switch between the HTC boot screen and the BladeX boot screen. I thought that this could have been a problem with the battery being too low so I booted into recovery and then rebooted back into recovery from the power menu, this seemed to allow the phone to charge.

Now when the phone would boot into the Rom the battery was at 87% but the errors were still there. Now when i tried to flash a different boot.img ( for IceColdJelly) it failed giving the error code 0x30000 and when i tried to erase the cache it gave the error code 0x1900008.

I have no idea what to do now so any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance
[HTC One X] Guich:
1) I think was better ask in Blade rom for the problem.

2) You have to flash the boot.img of Blade rom or a repacked kernel for this rom, it's normal that your device won't boot.

[Asus Transformer TF700] ryanskeltis:
hi, im thinking about exchanging the Note 10.1 that i got a few days ago for the Transformer Infinity.

I went with the Note 10.1 because i couldn't find any problems with it when when looking over reviews for it, opposed to the Infinity where i was reading I/O issues, browser freezing up and other small things.

Now the reason im thinking about exchanging for the Infinity is because of the screen resolution. on the Note 10.1 when i first turned it on, it really hurt my eyes, and i thought it might just be because i had a headache, but i slept off the headache and started using it again, and low and behold my eyes started hurting again. has anyone had this experience before because of the screen resolution?

another question i have, are what are the major differences between the 10.1 and TF Infinity?

Thanks,

Ryan
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
For pure screen resolution then yes it is much much better. Bloke that sits next to me at work has the note with the s-pen. He keeps commenting how fatastically sharp my screen is. Where as I keep leching over hs s-pen and all the wonderful tricks it can do when he is taking notes in meetings...... :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] ljg600:
Overall the Infinity is solid- however- performance is heavily impacted by running certain apps, including many of the built-in apps. I have aggressively disabled unneeded apps and removed the Facebook client- which is a memory and performance hog. In addition, I periodically clear browser cache and have switched to Boat Browser, as the built in Android browser shows considerable lag.

It may also be helpful to avoid apps that employ adware- which is a large number of both paid and free apps.

In summary, the TF700t is a device that forces you to think about ways to maintain performance. While most of these methods are common sense and would help any device's performance- on the 700 they are essential. On the other hand, when coupled with the Asus keyboard- the device is extremely versatile and does in fact bridge the tablet-netbook gap. How effectively depends on one's requirements. It is probably superior to the Surface RT- and for the price, far more versatile than an IPad- or Galaxy Note 10.1- though I am curious about multi-window..
