From my understanding, the cold boot bootstrap have to 1) pull the battery while on M logo, or 2) plug it in then pull battery.

the bootstrap process is actually only hijacking a part of the system partition and use to to achieve root so its not a complete or a true root. idk if that answers your question. tbh i dont really understands this myself lol
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
You both sound like you have it (as far as I know)

From a powered off state plug in your phone and power it on and after a few tries should activate the hijacking to startup the bootstrapper to restore a backup.

[Droid 2 General] Shadowlore:
Good to know.. it's simple questions like this that seem to get glossed over in the explanation of many of the exploits ;)

I've actually seen the question asked a few times, but the usual response is: "Go into the application, and select 'Reboot Recovery'.... which is great... except, no one ever really explains what to do if you CAN'T get into the OS itself ;)

And before someone states the obvious, yes, I'm rooted.. and No, I'm not experiencing any issues. I just like to find out these things in advance, BEFORE there's an issue.
[Droid 2 General] facelessuser:
Pulling the battery works, because there is essentially a flag that gets set and unset with the bootstrap. If your phone boots past where the bootstrap usually boots, but doesn't boot all the way to the point where the flag gets unset (or set depending how it works), the next time you boot, you get the clockwork recovery.

You can see this at work if you flash a rom and loose bootstrap. The bootstrap program can't reset the flag in the OS, and every time you reboot, you will first load clockwork recovery and have to reboot to get the OS to load. As soon as you bootstrap your phone again, this scenario goes away.

So don't pull the battery as soon as you see the Moto Logo, but wait a little and then pull it for more consistent success.
[Droid 2 General] chromadroid:
I just discovered that if you remove "superuser" permissions from bootstraper (using the SuperUser app) that it will boot into bootstrap recovery every time you power on your phone. I made it "forget" the permissions, and noticed this behaviour. Makes sense with your explanation facelessuser.

Ok. Just installed and tested it out. it sucks. Way slower than stock browser and flash doesnt work at all, what gives. I was hoping hulu would work. No dice. I know its just beta though oh well
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ronandi:
Its got a nice UI, but its pretty slow right now.

Stock browser as always been the fastest and the must compatible with websites (formatting).

However, xScope comes as a very close second with great speed and functionality. The new version has a nice ui, but the free version has a watermark (xScope 6). The old paid version is now free on the developer's website however.

(these comments are based on my experiences looking for the best browser)

Stay with stock or try xscope imo
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Digital Pure:
Yeah, the sync is one thing that I live by right now as I move from OSX, Ubuntu, Windows, Android it is nice to have the same thing everywhere. Marry it up with LastPass and all is rocking perfect.

I have Dolphin HD as my primary still though. Firefox will get there. I suspect that as the tablets start hitting the market, and FF4 goes mainstream we will see a huge push in this dev as there will be a huge market for it.

New beta is now smoother and faster than dolphin

Still no flash, and the dumb thing restarts everytime you go into it. You lose your last webpage.

I also noticed that you can't pass url's into it (like out of an sms)

Using it sparingly now over dolphin because it's smoother. No replacement yet.

Hi,

Am planning to buy a N1 (from ebay india) to sink my teeth into Android (not just the app development part).

Just wanted to know if there are several different models of the Nexus one out there? And if so how to identify each.

Also as I'm getting it off ebay wanted to make sure I was not getting a fake. So does anyone know how to identify if it's a fake when I receive it?

TIA
[Nexus One General] cymru:
Theres only one model of the Nexus, the Nexus One.

How to tell if its fake... i dunno. Maybe the ebay description :-/

Check out the FCC number on the back to be sure whether you're getting the 850/1900/2100 version or the 900/AWS/2100 version.
[Nexus One General] nexusdue:
This is just stupidly wrong.

Do this! Make sure you get the right version for you!

(FYI - if you don't care about 850/1900 vs. 900/AWS, you should know that the 850/1900 is no longer available, so ebay prices for it seem to be $100-$200 more than the AWS version [which can still be had as the dev phone from google])
[Nexus One General] thesoze:
jeez, dude...understand the question! :eek:
[Nexus One General] cmstlist:
And also it'd be good to know if it's the AMOLED or SLCD model. You can tell the difference by the way it looks booting up in a dark room. What I don't know is, are there any differences in the model #s written on the back of the phone for the SLCD models?
[Nexus One General] source.rar:
Thanks for all the info folks.

But is there any info that I can ask the dealer (from the packaging etc.) to determine if it is a genuine piece.

And any way to confirm its the real deal once I get the phone (while booting or something)?

Just trying to be careful as I can't afford to waste too much (still studying :)), and I don't want to get some cheap chinese fake.

TIA
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
If it's a knock off, it's not going to be genuine Android, so it'll be obvious.

I'm running Fresh 2.1.2 with Live Wallpapers installed. I unlock my phone, and when the Weather Wallpaper runs, it force closes the Live Wallpaper and replaces it with the default one.

What I'm looking for is either a replacement clock that looks exactly like the original HTC one without the Weather Wallpaper, or some way to disable Weather Wallpaper so it doesn't FC the Live Wallpapers. (I've looked in the weather app itself, and I don't have the option to uncheck it. It just isn't there.)

Feel free to get technical with it. Just direct me, and I'll do it. I just don't know where to look to disable Weather Wallpaper, if there is a way.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bk718:
im not sure what u mean about weather "wallpaper"..

also, Fresh 2.1.2 hasn't been supported for a long time now, so trying to find answers for it would be quite difficult... have u thought about updating your ROM to something newer??

lastly, not trying to be rude, just organized, but this should be in the Q&A section.. your more likely to get ur answers there sense people go in there specifically to ask and answer questions.. this is the themes and apps section, for posting new themes and apps.. most people look right over questions here, cause this isn't the section for it.. ;)

Weather Wallpaper is the weather animation that shows the current weather when you unlock the phone.

Repost... sry
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bk718:
oh ok.. i wouldn't really consider that wallpaper.. wallpaper is normal referred to as your background image.. that would just be your weather app..

you could not use it and use something like beautiful widgets.. well worth it over the sense app.. im not running sense, but i also believe theres a way to disable it, something about weather animations need to be unticked... not quite sure..

but check out beautiful widgets or weather & toggle widget (both are paid apps, but well worth it)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] BlaqkAudio:
Remove the clock/weather widget from your homescreen and then readd it. It will give you the option to disable fullscreen animations.

I'm honestly not sure exactly what you mean, but you can probably make an update.zip with redbend_ua to flash the SBL.bin to the right bml block, though I don't really know which block stores the SBL.

the update script should be something similar like this (this is how we flash the modem.bin via redbend)

show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:update TMP:/update
set_perm 0 0 755 TMP:/update/redbend_ua
run_program /tmp/update/redbend_ua restore /tmp/update/modem.bin /dev/block/bml12
show_progress 0.1 10

Else maybe download the entire leaked JI4 update, and flash it with ODIN, then verify the 3-button mode works with the SBL it flashes (its the same one I posted.)

Yes it's safe. You are essentially erasing all data on your phone and returning it to stock so it doesn't really matter what base band, kernel, or rom you are currently using. However, unless you want extra steps in the restore, if you are using voodoo, disable it before you do anything!

Unfortunately they don't seem to have parts lying around for this device these days.
