Do you have other systems/partitions? If yes then there's your answer for having so little space on the internal memory, (aka data partition ;) ).
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Thanks [MENTION=4701256]devilhunter47[/MENTION] for the link :D

Yeah-yeah, Yesterday I performed factory reset on main stock system to understand the things better and got all the 4 GB of space free :D

But then I should be able to create a data partition of 2GB on the system 3 also which is not happening. Earlier I thought I am having two custom ROMs hence there is not enough space for the 2 GB data partition, BMM only created 1 GB of partition. But now when I got 4 GB of space and tried to again create partitions only on one system (sys3), it again refused to create partition of 2GB?

But recently two Moto E were bought in my family which also have 4GB internal memory but show only around 2 GB space available for the user, where the rest of the space went in those phones?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
To be on bit more safer side, I have backed up system 1 using "Fast Backup" command in the BMM, is that enough in case something breaks/crashes? Fast Backup shows data, system and cache backup.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Basmatek:
I just did a fast backup on system 1 and backup file size is 3.2Gb! Is this a backup of all 6 systems? ( I only have roms on 1 and 3.)
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
Yes. Systems 3-6 are stored on the data partition of system 1.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Finally installed SlimKat on System 1 using BMM :D

Thanks everyone for you help.

A big thanks to the developers of BMM, that is one magical utility available in Android world. It looks complicated once we read the guide for using it but once we are able to use it successfully, everything becomes easier, all the steps get set in the mind. BMM made flashing so easy. :D But sadly the developers stopped support for it :(

Now I have one doubt - What will happen if I perform Factory Reset using BMM? Will it reset the custom ROM installed on the system 1 or it will mess-up the phone? :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Rishav Sharan:
Hi

I am going to try installing a ROM for the 1st time in my life.

This is how I understand the basic process so far:

1. Root Device

2. Install BMM

3. Backup

4. Format /system, /data, /cache

5. Wipe System, Cache, Dalvik Cache

6. Wipe battery stats

7. Install ROM

8. Install GApps

9. Reboot

I am on step 3 now. How do I take a backup?

I went into the recovery console of BMM and I see Fast backup and Full backup options.

What do either do and which one should I use?
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
Fast backup will backup all that you need.

#5 is redundant. You already covered that step with #4.

#6 is completely unnecessary. It's the Android equivalent of an old wives tale and does absolutely nothing.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Rishav Sharan:
Also should I be using BMM at all? all threads say its dead and I should go for safestrap.

I am planning on using MoKee Rom on system 1 so that i can get OTA updates.

Also, after installing the Rom, am i supposed to install BMM again from system keeper or the playstore?

i am seeing conflicting info on several threads.

Also, in the next step, I am to format /systm

How do i do that?

Will the Wipe & Clean section in the BMM recovery console do it? or is there another way of doing it?
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
All what threads say use safestrap? That's not available for the Atrix 2 and all the threads here say use BMM only. What phone do you have?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
If you feel BMM is easier then go via that route. I did it and everything went smoothly.

But I would suggest that first try out few ROMs on other than main system and see which one suites you. OTA updates in custom ROMs are not like official OTA where it updates the OS automatically and you can retain the existing apps, data. Rather mostly the custom ROM ota just downloads the new version for you on the phone later you have to manually flash the ROM. So it doesn't matter much if its ota or non-ota.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Rishav Sharan:
Went the BMM route and the flashing went smoothly.

[MENTION=4791168]1BadWolf[/MENTION]: i think the safestrap advices were generic ones. Here most people seem to be using BMM for Atrix 2 and thats what i went for as well.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Starrider17:
Here is my story. After successfully using the method detailed above (which worked great), I have (had) Carbon Rom 4.4.4 loaded on System 1 of my Atrix 2 MB865. Prior to the attempt to run only System 1, I had ICS 4.0.4 rooted on System 1 and Carbon Rom on System 3 for several weeks without issue flashing with BMM 0.3.4. After making the final tweaks, reboot, and all was still well. Just today, however, after I installed BMM 0.3.4 onto System 1, rebooted from BMMs prompts, and then the soft bootloop began. I do have a backup of my original System 1 ICS 4.0.4. file stored on Clockwork Mod, but Android recovery 3e does not recognize it. I have just spent over 4 hours searching the forum, google searches and the like without success. As such here are my questions:

1.) Since Android Recovery can be accessed, but the .tar files and any .zip such as those from the Carbon Rom flash are not recognized, is my only choice to fxz to a stock Rom?

2.) If the answer to question #1 above is true, is a fxz for ICS 4.0.4 stock now available? Most locations either only have 2.3.6 or have broken links.

3.) If fxz for 2.3.6 can be located and the phone is recovered, would an upgrade path from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 for System 1 be made available.

Thanking you in advance for any/all information.
[Motorola Atrix 2] PhoenixNghi:
AFAIK, after installing a custom ROM on sys1, you don't need to install BMM again because it did install itself and automatically shows up at the beginning of the boot process

Maybe there's another easier way to solve the bootloop, but this is the solution I know:

- Flash the official 4.0.4 ICS via RSD:

(* Don't flash any 2.3 fxz

and if yours is AT&T, only flash the fxz for AT&T)

- After this step, your phone will be 100% new (all system partitions will be gone)

- Then just repeat your steps to install which ROM you like on sys1
[Motorola Atrix 2] Starrider17:
Thanks Phoenix NGHI for the reply and most importantly for the provided information. Indeed, my Atrix 2 MB865 is the AT&T based phone used here in the United States. Therefore, the provided location for the file to be used for the FXZ which I have already downloaded should be correct.

Along with the provided location above, given the size of the file which Google Drive said was too large to scan, I did pull an MD5 Check Sum on the file. For those who want to make sure that the file was downloaded correctly, here it is:

MD5 Checksum = 2BF9CCD528C05D26523ACC5B38AC76C6

You had mentioned that there may be another way to get past the "M" Logo, but you were not sure. I was not either. Taking the advice of some many here to use the search function within this forum, use Google search, and read, I came across this link below. While I will probably not opt to use it just because I do need to fully learn how to FXZ with RSD Lite, here is that link from within XDA Developers:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1658127

For my purposes, I am going to follow the flashing guide found within this link also contained within this forum:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1396650

I will let you know Phoenix (and others who are reading this response) the results of my "restoration' process once complete.

Grateful to you Phoenix for the reply and information.

P.S. I saw in your profile that you still use a RAZR V3I. I also just brought back to life a backup daily driver RAZR V3RE to assist me in this current "downtime." Good to see that the "simple" phones are still working well for us too.

Starrider17
[Motorola Atrix 2] Starrider17:
Phoenix and others,

Just simply confirming that I downloaded the provided ROM in the prior link from Phoenix, re-read at least 2x the information in the links provided above, and ensured that the Atrix 2 battery was with a full charge. After all of this activity, RSD Lite 6.2 was able to successfully Flash the Xml Zip (FXZ?) file. Thanks to Phoenix and others before him who provided the tools and techniques necessary. Now, this Atrix 2 has the stock / unrooted AT&T U.S. based Ice Cream Sandwhich (ICS) Rom of 4.0.4 re-installed.

Cheers!

I'm very close to pulling the trigger on purchasing the Z2 from never-msrp on eBay, but because it is an international item there is no warranty.

I realize a lot of people here have purchased in the US. Are you guys not worried about the no warranty?
[Xperia Z2 General] Ruku1994:
I'm not from USA but I also don't have warranty. In my point of view it depends on your luck. I've already bought 3 phones without warranty and everything worked as it should. But on the other hand my friend had to repair his phone 2 times. It's always risky...
[Xperia Z2 General] hanano17:
Where are you getting no warranty from? It comes with a 2 year warranty, granted you will need to contact the region you got it from for service. Although Sony USA told me that its covered by them too, but they can't service it because they don't have parts yet. I'm having to send mine to Taiwan for an issue. But there's definitely coverage.
[Xperia Z2 General] shollywood:
By a SquareTrade warranty!
[Xperia Z2 General] rmd0311:
I plan on buying from never-msrp on ebay... Seems like a lot of people here have purchased from them/her. Warranty from Japan is fine by me, will just be a ***** to send, plus it will be in the US soon. So maybe Sony USA does cover when it makes it here.,

Thanks [MENTION=3736714]hanano17[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z2 General] delsus:
Has anyone on XDA had warrenty? :p

But seriously if it's worrying you that much you have 2 choices, buy the phone from your own region, or you can buy insurance for the phone, bearing in mind if you had to claim on the insurance you would need to pay an excess on any claim.

This is my first time trying to root my Micromax Canvas HD.

I am trying to install CWM recovery using this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2167621

However I am stuck in the second step itself. I have extracted the "Kernel Source" SouceCode(IQ451_4.1).zip file. But I am not able to find any recovery.img file to replace. What is the problem here? Have I downloaded the wrong file? Should I download something else?

While trying to extract the zip file, Winrar asked me if I want to rename the duplicate files, because there were a few files with the same name but different size. I asked Winrar to rename the files. Is this a problem?

I am completely new to this field, so I am not exactly sure what I am doing wrong.

Any help regarding this problem would be of great help to me. Please tell me of the things that need to be taken care of before rooting my phone.

Thanks a lot.
[Micromax A116] $hino:
Use mobile uncle tools instead of the above method.. Download recovery... Rename it to recovery.img... Place it in sd card... Not in any folder.. Just inside sd card.. Open mobile uncle tools... Update recovery.. It automatically detects the file in sd card... Select... Flash...reboot.. Done...

Hit thanks if this helped..
[Micromax A116] sudhingr8:
Is there no other solution? Will I be able to use the files that I have already downloaded?

I have tried loading the recovery.img file through the Flash tool, but it asks me to select the path for the PRELOADER..

How do I find the preloader file?
[Micromax A116] $hino:
You can use the downloaded file... Why do you want to use the flash tools method when the thing can be done in 2 clicks..

just use Framaroot app and then Rashr app

U need to root chd to install custom recovery. To do so download framaroot app from framaroot.net . Then to install custom recovery just use Rashr (search it in google play)

i have 4 devices so this unit was perfect for my needs or anybody sick of having usb cables all over the house. shipping was on time and unit was secure and safe and inside the box is a INATECK 4 Port Wall Charger and user manual and the manual was simple to read and unit easy to use regardless but nice to have incase its needed. the unit is sturdy, with a good weight to it which i liked as i just plugged unit in wall and now im ready to charge all my devices at once. unit also has a blue LED thats bright but i like that fact because i charge mostly at night and its easy to see without turning on the light. i tested the unit with a Iphone 5/GS4/GS5 and a ipad and no issues there using your devices usb. 2x 5V/2.4A (Super Charger) Interfaces: Supports 5V USB charged devices on sale (Most types of mobile phones,tablet PCs or digital devices);2x 5V/1A (Universal) Interfaces: Supports smart phones from iPhone, Samsung & other 1A USB devices are the spcs for the unit and those pretty much cover anybody looking to make charging your devices easy.

and for under $15 its a must for families or person with multiple devices. i have used other usb wall chargers but a key selling point to this unit is the built in surge protector which is also CE&FCC certified and in my opinion with the costs of our devices that is a great feature and also unit is premium high power enabled to allow full speed charging. really liked the product overall and the price is lowest i have seen plus all its features make it a must.

Bluetooth speaker which is worth buying. HV-SK466BT is a small and fashionable designed Bluetooth speaker. Initially when you unwrap the box you cannot imagine how valuable this may perhaps be considering the price and it’s size.

The speaker comes with a 3.0 Bluetooth technology, this Bluetooth can be used for calling use as well, other than this for super quick and easy this phone supports NFC technology too.

The weight of this speaker is neither heavy nor very light and it’s small size allows you to carry this Bluetooth speaker anyplace you go, coming with a rubbery finish substance which gives you a good feel when you touch it plus protects it if dropped. It fell by mistake from me and was okay with no single scratch. This speaker has a good bass and extremely loud and clear sound quality which in this price range is not easy to get.

One of the best feature is the calling element, having an internal microphone it allows you to answer your phone calls too, so everyone can hear and talk. Last but not the least the battery life of this is phone is 7 to 8 hours which is more than at least what I expected.

Hello ;

I tried to flash my preproduction Herme with SD card, copied the french image in the root folder of the microSD after renaming it to 'HERMIMG.nbh' , restarted the phone with boot loader here is what I get :

Checking image file...

after about 20sec..

No image file! :(

PLEASE HELP

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
There are some preproduction models where you cannot upgrade using the HERMIMG.nbh on fat32 microSD card, I have one of them too. My original rom is in chinese and I have bootloader version 0.94.

I haven't tryied it yet, but the process should be something like this:

1) Extract contents from NBH upgrade file using itsme tools nbh2dbh.pl and nbh2decode.pl. Make sure the NBH you use has bootloader version 1.04.

2) Create a custom NBF upgrade out of the IPL.nb and SPL.nb you have extracted, use typhoonbfdecode.pl with -s, -r ipl and -r spl. This should make a "bootloader-only" upgrade.

3) Use MaUpgrade_NoID.exe to upgrade the bootloader on your device, this will only work on preproduction devices as they have 'wdata' command in bootloader 0.94, and the upgrading process should be the same.

Once you have upgraded it to bootloader 1.04 then you will be able to update to any rom using the usual Hermes upgrades found on the wiki.

Please help me to upgrade this bootloader

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Should be ok, but only for preproducion Hermes units.

You need MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, RUU.dll and UI.dll and RUU.conf with the right settings (download older non-hermes upgrades to compare).

The file you created should be named nk.nbf or ms_.nbf (i'm not sure) and be in the same folder of the upgrade utility.

Good luck!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mcilias:
..

in original ROM I have RUU.dll and RUUUI.dll not UI.dll , I don't have RUU.conf I copied one from QTEK S100 ROM and I don't know info to change the config and it gives me the same error.

the error always comes but when I change the RUU.dll to the S100 one it opens the wizard.. I think that MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe is not compatible with the ROM of the herme ...

PLEASE LOOK AT PAGE 2 :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Production Hermes == bootloader >= 1.04 == command to flash ROM 'wdatah' == command to flash rado rom 'rwdata' == Utility Files: (ROMUpgradeUt.exe RUU.dll RUUUI.dll HERMIMG.nbh)

Preproduction Hermes == bootloader <= 0.94 == command to flash ROM 'wdata' == command to flash radio rom 'rwdata' == Utility Files: (MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe RUU.conf RUU.dll UI.dll radio_.nbf ms_.nbf nk.nbf)

So, for bootloader 0.94 you need to use an OLD RUU which flashes NBF files using 'wdata' command and not 'wdatah' command, not compatible with Shipped hermes upgrades in NBH format, that's why you need to convert NBH to NBF.

I might do it and publish the upgrade, but I'd like to extract the bootloader from my preproduction Hermes first and there's no known method yet. So, if you don't do it yourself you'll need to wait, sorry.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mcilias:

so as I understand, I have to use an old RUU for herme which is not available actually?

Yes, it is available from older HTC devices (not TyTN/Hermes).

Use the MaUpgradeUT_NoID utility, was originally writen for magician but should be fine with your preproduction bootloader.
