Now THAT's nice!
[Motorola Atrix HD] [] AL []:
Since day 1 with AHD, when I have to flash a sbf or others, I've always (re-)booted to the bootloader that way. Sometimes like so to the recovery as well (mostly doing it wrong for bl boot though....[emoji12] ).

So these are not new options...

So a little recap:

Pwr & Vol UP: Recovery

Pwr & Vol Down: Boorloader

Pwr & Vol Up+Down: Boot Menu

Thank you sir for confirming and giving further info on this.

And also: a big thank you (from all of us AHD users -I'm sure) for keeping an eye on our device's CM11 thread; it is really, really appreciated. Hat's off to you.

Normally, you shouldn't have to format or mount anything else. Did you simply format /system from where you were previously stuck?

If so, the only thing I can suggest is to start completely over from scratch:

1. Re-download CM11, just in case you had a bad file. Also check MD5 just to be sure you got it all.

2. Flash back to latest stock ROM version 98.5.38 (using MythTools or RSDlite, etc.)

3. Make sure it boots. While you're there, get a good GPS lock (I've found this can help you later in certain scenarios).

4. Ensure you have recent version of Philz recovery installed, like 6.43.8

5. In recovery, do a factory reset. Also wipe /cache partition.

6. Format /system

7. Flash CM11 and GApps

8. Reboot. First boot takes a few minutes, so be patient.

If this doesn't work, I'm out of ideas.

PSA: Milestone M10 was just posted for our device(s)

From their blog post about it, it looks like it was branched on 9/9, at which point they merged in various bug fixes as-needed.

Reminder: dirty-flashing nightlies on top of a previous is totally fine (and expected), but never flash a M-build on top of a Nightly-build. Clean first.

Enjoy.

Personally, I'm sticking with the Nightlies for now.
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
Thanks Al - so is that from power off, or from fully booted to a rom, or from anywhere? I was fully booted and tried pwr+voldn and it just rebooted to the rom.

But in any case it appears we haven't lost any emergency capability, which is great. 9-15 really rocks! Thanks to [MENTION=5119654]IronTechmonkey[/MENTION] for proofing it. Great discussions here!!!!! :highfive: Now severed from google mail and contacts. - feels like a breath of fresh air! LOL

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

Nightlies!!!!!!!!! Yay!
[Motorola Atrix HD] [] AL []:
I'd say it's probably even 'safer' to do from a powered off phone... And tge recap was just to say that it's always been that way (all the way up to August 21st nightly I was on...).

It kinda work from fully booted, but I have to admit that I've tried all 3 options hastily earlier on and maybe even during bootanimation :eek: and later I had problems with my power menu not showing expanded desktop option even if check, unchecked, rechecked in settings.... Then another issue after....

So I ended factory reset and flash M 10... 1 hour into the setup now and no issues....

So yes good that we still have force reboot functionality; but I'd say use with parsimony....

Back to M10 setup....or a few (free) poker hands maybe.... Cheers!

/AL
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
Ya, I knew I was going overboard by holding all three to start into recovery from power off but it was working so I did not change.

As for safer; yes indeed. I start installs from power off going into recovery rather than rebooting into recovery. This is an old method from PC building to maintain constancy and remove variations to the boot process introduced by rebooting. So indeed I have "discovered" what was already known, that being:

From power off to recovery = Power/vol-up.

And

From power off to bootloader = Power/vol-down (this has not worked reliably for me)

And

From power off to boot menu = Power/vol-down + vol-up (This is what I was doing instead of going right into recovery)

However where force reboot has changed from power button only to power + vol-down there is still this oddity:

From OS to hard reboot by power/vol-down forces reboot at 7 seconds with buttons still held.

From OS to hard reboot by power/vol-up also forces reboot but only after you have held button combo for 7 seconds AND have released the buttons AND even then there is a few second lag after the buttons are released.

As KrissM22 said at least we still have an emergency reboot option.

Now, time to play with M10 :)
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
ref CWMR - in some post back there I expressed no concern with 6048 on this phone.

6044 is latest for MB886.

I have dropped back to the earliest PT I have which is 6.07.9 which equates to cwm 6.0.4.5

buk buk buk (following the msm8960 thread for PT)
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
and fwiw 9-18 seems to work great!
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
I'm still using the Philz Touch 6.19.3/Clockworkmod v6.0.4.7which came with Mythtools 1.3. I think that version of Philz was the last MB886 device specific one.

Also I've been exploring the features new to CM M10. (Which wold also be in nighties after 9/9/14)

Love the long press Recents to switch between apps = great for the old cut and paste.

Soft reboot option = Instant restart skips moto-boot-logo. Faster than quickboot app.

Glove-mode - Cannot find glove mode or references to how to use it, but this may not be something MB886 can do. Can any verify this either way?
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
You're right about 6.19.3 - I'll flash up to that one later. Thanks!

Have no ideas about the other stuffs - sorry...

Oh, wasn't that glove mode something about allowing it to work with those winter gloves with special fingertips coated with something?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Zebra-Strip...US_CSA_MWA_Gloves_Mittens&hash=item3a975b7d45
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
It's a high sensitivity mode that allows you to wear regular gloves and use the screen. The only reference I've found to it other than in the CM changelog is an app specific to a different manufacturer/phone so even though it is present in the ROM it may not be usable by the MB886.
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
Ah - LOL - I was going to ask you where the setting was... hmmmmmmmmmmm.

edit - yeah I see it for a sgs4 http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...r-samsung-galaxy-s-4-running-aosp-based-roms/
[Motorola Atrix HD] robobub:
Does anyone else on this ROM have high pitched hiss on the camcorder by default?

For the longest time I've been manually changing the CAPLESS flags to get rid of it and just created a bug report for it. However, are you guys having this same issue or is it just us?

https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-5393

If you can hear the difference in the two videos I've posted, please post if you can hear the whine on your phone and if changing those settings help it.
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
Okay, finally getting a chance to look at this - where do I change the setting?

Mine sounds like the first one - maybe slightly more hiss, not the high whine.

etc/snd_soc_msm/

it's big - what's a good editor for looking at this file???

using iota+. then 920 text editor

it won't allow me to change it.

changed permissions, but still won't.

copied it in but then I get reboot goes forever so nandroid restore. what's the trick?
[Motorola Atrix HD] robobub:
I just use nano and search for Camcorder Tx.

You have to remount system as rw as su:

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

Then you can edit the files and reboot. If you changed the permissions, change them back.

mount -o remount,ro /system

reboot

Btw, I've found the high whine only really noticeable when I download the video and play it on better speakers

Grayscale while recording

I'm on M10 Snapshot and when i'm recording a video some colors turns into grayscale and some others stay as should be. Someone else are happening this? Maybe why i'm on ART?
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
Thanks!

I am not having that problem - downloaded https://archive.org/details/alanoakleysmalltestvideo and listened with headphones. - sounds the same as when I play in on my computer.

I will go ahead and do the change per your instructions and see if there's any change...

no, I did the su and the mount, got no error messages from terminal, but editor failed, said it was read only...
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
@ ErickST18

I run on ART almost exclusively and can test this. Will so and report shortly.
[Motorola Atrix HD] [] AL []:
I had no chance to test this out yet, but here to save you guys some trouble of editing/pushing onto system, I made two zips (also not tested yet; have a nandroid backup ready).

List of changes to system/etc/snd_soc_msm/snd_soc_msm_2x:

line3551:	'MICBIAS1 CAPLESS Switch':1:[COLOR="Lime"]1[/COLOR]
line3552:	'MICBIAS3 CAPLESS Switch':1:[COLOR="Lime"]1[/COLOR]

line3565:	'MICBIAS1 CAPLESS Switch':1:[COLOR="Lime"]1[/COLOR]
line3566:	'MICBIAS3 CAPLESS Switch':1:[COLOR="Lime"]1[/COLOR]

Undo zip changes back the 1s back to 0.

Gotto run ;)

/AL

Edit: fixed (deleted) the zips' wrong recursive permissions
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
I haven't played with video camera much so why not:

Tested in AHD/MB886, CM M10, ART, at video quality 1080p and 720p, under medium bright lighting from CFL bulbs, with following settings:

storage = SD card (one of those supposedly faster ones)

power shutter = off

video codec = H.264

audio codec = AAC

Slow motion = off

Viewed in MX player on phone and on desktop PC

- Good audio pickup without any discernible hiss or whine.

- No grayscale where there should be color,

- Poor re-focusing during panning, not surprisingly more noticable at higher video quality. This can be helped by taking picture while filming.

Occurs to me to ask Atrix HD/MB886? (I ask because unified ROMS have many of us forum hopping)

---------- Post added at 01:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------

On Philz Touch 6.19.3 now ay :). Working well I trust.

---------- Post added at 01:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 AM ----------

No bad sound artifacts here (other than creaky wooden floors :)).
[Motorola Atrix HD] [] AL []:
I've just tried my zips and I couldn't hear anything different.

Recorded 2 scenes with each setup and compared with BSPlayer and the sound cranked up to 200% (volume boost option) and on the PC with kind of crappy 2.0 desk speakers though.

And to be honest, I've downloaded the 2 videos given as example and couldn't really distinguish anything different there either. Worst, I found that the modded one which was suppose to 'fix' the hiss was even worst. But maybe because not shot in the same direction and picked up the fridge's compressor high pitch noise?

So unless my I'm not looking (with my ears :p) for the right thing here or my ears are not 20/20 :cyclops:, I'd say fix doesn't do anything for me...

/AL

P.S.: as for recovery goes: I've basically always used philz_6.41.6.img from here and never had issues or feel the need to try a newest one either... But I do see now that the Dev-Host link is 404.... :(

Edit: the Goo.im still up though: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/moto_msm8960/

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

I'm SOOO sorry guys: I just realized that I had set wrong permissions for system/etc in my previous zips (fix them already now).

So if you've tried them, you might lose wifi connectivity or other problems. To fix that, simply reflash the snapshot or nightly build you are on without the need of wiping cache or dalvik.

And here to make up for it: read this guide to learn how to do your own zips. *** Just remember to use CM11's update-binary file as I wrote that back when on CM7. ***

Cheers and sorry again about that :(

/AL
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
Yeah, 6.19.3 PT seems to be the latest mb886 and I feel safe with that so I'll stick with that unless some new thing doesn't work with it, which I doubt. There are undoubtedly later ones which work but I will stay here. Trying to avoid "surprises"! (aka the msm8960 PT KK thread)

I don't have that video problem so I won't try the changes. I had downloaded the old zips but not used them so no problem - I have the new ones just in case. Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix HD] maur1c10:
thanks a lot, finally worked, now im using CM11 looks great!! thanks again!!
[Motorola Atrix HD] robobub:
Thanks for creating the zips, I hope it helps people see if this is a common problem.

There is more lower level noise on the second video, I think you are right, it's from the fridge. It must have been on a run cycle during the second video. The high pitch hiss/whine in the first video is what I'm referencing, and much of it is in the 8.6 and 13KHz range, which can be hard to hear for some.

Here's some of the original posts about it with the spectrum:

[Motorola Atrix HD] [] AL []:
You're welcome.

I know the feeling of having a recurrent problem and desperately looking for people to reproduce it... Happened to me a couple tines on CM7...

Thanks for the extra info...will look into this deeper when I get some slack from life and maybe better loudspeakers also... [emoji12]

Knowing a little more precisely what (frequency to look for will help,). My hearing ain't that bad (considering my age and the number of live concerts I've attended.. among other things...), still can hear high 15kHz...

Which brings me to this app suggestion of the day, *** but please check the warning I gave in my play store review 15 some months ago (pic)(sic). This app can suck juice out of your battery like no others....

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.julian.apps.SoundForm

Not enough info....

Carrier or ~ location?

Clean flashed? or coming from a nightly build newer than first week of September?

You're used to do this? You followed the right steps of factory reset, usb debugging, official sources apps, and so on...?

In any case, backup ALL your stuff (sms, contacts, apps, pics on internal storage, etc) and follow the guides on how to fastboot the stock official rom for your phone, then root, recovery + flash M10 again...
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
9-22N-jbbl seems quite fine. I learned something about "email" app - there's a setting deep in there to notify every time - by default it is unchecked. I wondered why I stopped getting notifications... Duh! I have severed ties with google except to log on to allow play. I don't think there's a way around that... I use PA pico and delete the 3 apps in it before flashing.

edit: going to try F-Droid and oandbackup (it also has adaway and better battery stats that I use)

Later: yes. I still have to flash nano pagapps to get some libraries, but I don't have to log in to google acct. :D

[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
Probably does. I should look at changelog to see what's different. Probably nothing that matters for us JBBL folk...

I was over at http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29/msm8960/ looking at dhacker's stuff for msm8960 and tried twrp-2700. the touch is way off on the xhdpi, but usable, sortof on the hdpi. I looked at that because I thought that dhacker might offer alternatives for cwm and PT when KK time arrives for us.

I also noticed PT had a 6.57.8 for msm8960dt, but only a 6.57.5 for our msm8960. Rats! Just trying to acquaint myself with what is out there at present that we might make use of for KK. (bored!)

There is also supposedly a cwm for KK but I have no idea where it is.
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
Thanks. Good to know versions up to that one work.

When researching for my first flash back to stock for the heartbleed patch I read (but lost track of the sources) some notes about problems with TWRP, or that it just did not work on AHD so I went with the Philz Touch 6.19.3 which came with Mythtools 1.3. Now I'm sticking to that whole package because I know I can get back to stock and reroot using Mythtools, and that PT 6.19.3 works with all of the ROMS I've tried. I dont mess with partitions or radios.

I've also maintained an archive of all my backups (just broke 100GB this week :)) and want to be able to restore any of those at the drop of a hat; and since they were created with PT 6.19.3 there I stay.

As for the JBBL-KKBL divide, most utilities for JBBL are mature and reliable. Those that work on KKBL would be less well formed and consistent... just as their host system has been.

Yay JBBl... until the world moves on.

[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
for AHD???

Yeah, I ran into that comment about TWRP and AHD - it "works" but the touch locations are off. Too bad there isn't a non-touch-TWRP!

I think any JBBL PT except 6.48.6 does restore correctly from any backup, but again, I don't think it matters...

sheesh!!! 100GB!!! I keep paring mine down...

I'm betting (that's "hoping") some dev comes along to pick up PT and/or CWM... I don't fault Phil for dumping them - there's life outside of phones!!!
[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
Yes, for AHD/JBBL
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
link please (to 6051 for AHD JBBL.) Thanks! (hint, I do not see a 9MB file for recovery in the 9-24 N build.)
[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
its inside the build. not sure exactly how to pull it atm, but I flashed it, went into settings to check off the update cm recovery option, reflashed the build.

Edit - Back in the days when the A4G was my main device, we had a method/script to get a dual boot setup. I still have those files/directions and I found the thread on partition research. I start work in about an hr and don't get off til the morning. I will attempt to grab up that recovery tomorrow morning after I'd say 7am Central Time and post it, unless someone beats me to it overnight
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
Yes indeedy! in cm11 go to Settings / Developer Options, check the "update cm recovery" option, Reboot to recovery, and there is 6.0.5.1 .

I did not have to flash. did this after a restore when the previous attempt didn't work (I tried to do a clean flash - probably need to do a dirty flash ), so my instructions aren't quite right... See those of [MENTION=4895937]palmbeach05[/MENTION] .

Don't forget to uncheck that option when you're done.

The touch controls are exquisite!

Yes, I am guessing no .img file exists for this for AHD.

6.0.5.1 passes the backup then restore test. I'll have to remember to format /system manually.

Thanks! and thanks given!!!

9-27N seems fine.
[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
No problem and yw for the advice. like you said, there is no actual recovery.img for 6.0.5.1 as of right now. But like i said earlier tonight, there is a process that allowed myself and other A4G users to dual boot, and i'll use the basics of that process to attempt to pull the recovery.img in a few hrs. not sure if it will be a success, but its worth a shot. and of course, i'll test it on my device before posting it for everyone to snag up.
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
It's an excessively redundant and granular backup of a few g-apps i use for work. For just testing and backing up the phone I'd keep far fewer.

---------- Post added at 03:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 AM ----------

I once explored dual booting (Ubuntu) but found no path I was comfortable following without a backup phone. How easy is it to get back to mono boot (as it were) or flash back to stock and then back to CM?
[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
you know that is a good question. as far as i can tell, unless i am very much mistaken, no one has tried it with the AHD. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1645664 is the original thread that i used for dual booting the A4G. We have a partition research thread somewhere for the AHD. I'd say it would be as simple as just swapping A4G partition values from the thread I posted a link to with our AHD partition values.

My plan for the recovery, in case someone does want to get a jump on this, is to use that thread, but instead of the adb command to pull the boot.img, have it pull recovery instead (our recovery is partition 32 if i recall).

The thread I posted refers to using Windows in order to set up the dual boot. There is a similar thread out there that refers to Ubuntu to set up the dual boot. Its very easy to swap between ROMs using the dual boot. I'll try to answer more questions and discuss this more later on today, I'm just on a quick break atm.
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
Thanks! That's quite helpful, and no rush on my account. This is not something I'm likely to try until I have a backup phone and learn a lot more about drive structures and the ramifications of taking various actions. Once a master of such things as managing partitions on desktop/laptops of all kinds I'm not up to speed yet on that stuff on droids.
