Is what clockwork recovery tells me. Last night flashed fresh Rom without a hitch. Today I run a nand backup before flashing a new kernel, nand worked find (besides at the end it said can't find sd - ext) but now I can't wipe or flash anything. Any ideas? Just states the title.

[EVO 4G General] v_lestat:
this is why you dont work clockwork.

now flash your phone with Amon Ra and be a happy Root user!
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Try clearing your cache, mine was giving me grief too until I did that. Then I switched to Amon's.
[Captivate General] JimmyStale:
Does anyone think that AT&T would be smart enough to intentionally leak Froyo to the dev community to see what methods would be employed to hack/mod/de-bloat and then subsequently block/secure those methods? Just food for thought. :D
[Captivate General] shamelin73:
I think that they may or could do this to find bugs in a mass consumer type BETA just before a final release. I may be wrong that they would not do this to find ways to keep people locked out.

But who knows they may do this for your stated reasons.
[Captivate General] l7777:
You give the death star far too much credit. We are the minority. The masses will simply take what AT&T gives them.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
I highly doubt it. The methods we use to do most of the things AT&T hates, like circumventing their stupid 'no non-market apps' policy, are the same ones we've always been using, and not just with the captivate but all their other android handsets too.
[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
lol no AT&T I'm sure is not even paying attention to what Samsung does with it's phones. As long as Sammy gives ol' AT&T the checklist stating yup we broke it to your specs - AT&T will let it out the door without even looking at the software update.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
This is not even good enough to be a conspiracy. What happens on XDA affects a minority of phones. Neither AT&T or Samsung see any need to get info in advance, they are way to busy on their QA and Dev cycles.

Go work for a big corporation that has a software development group and you will soon learn that any idea like this is pure folly.

The leaks are coming from a developer or QA person with time to kill and who sees no harm in leaking. If the company found out, he/she would be fired, but there is no way anyone will ever know as this stuff floats around the company network and on USB sticks all day long.
[Captivate General] G35tr:
Not to mention AT&T is smart enough to know that those who work to remove bloatware, aren't going to use it (and pay them) anyway.

Its the ones that don't know any better that they hope to suck a few extra dollars from.

I have been reading and trying different things for the last week. I was able to restore it back to 1.0 and tried alot of things to change start logo to different roms.

Is there something stopping my like the baseband or anything? I woke up to an update this morning and said might as well so Im back on 1.6 again

Is there a good guide from scratch to go by . I tried to get a different start screen with bootflash and nothing is said doesn't recognize the phone. Sorry about my grammar I have a bad back and hate to sit behind the Pc.

Thanks for any help

Coming from a droid, i used rm to switch roms weekly. I have bootstrap and rm installed on my dx, on official 2.2 ota with root. Can someone point me to a very detailed walkthrough? I read custom roms on an official 2.2 can brick so im a little nervous. Thanks guys.
[Droid X General] fuzio1963:
There are NO custom Roms for DX as of yet. One cannot flash a custom Rom, till boot loader is not unlocked. All you can find are rather themes, and they all can mess up your phone, for some reasons. For example, no matter what theme i have installed, my pictures and video files started to disappear. I lost about 90% of all media (not music) files from my SD card, while using themes. Now, i am rooted, deodexed, but no themes, and all is fine. Coming from Nexus One, i was pretty much a "new roms flashing addict", but for now, i just decided to wait until someone will break that boot loader, if this going to happen at all..........
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Not entirely true.

A True ROM (Kernel, system, etc) can not yet be flashed do to the bootloader issue.

However, with root and Koush's recovery, it is possible to replace the /system partition at an early stage and effectively load a new ROM (but we are stuck with the stock MOTO kernel).

Just in the last week several people have released ROM's with much of the blur interface removed, AOSP version of apps, etc. I am currently running RubixFocused and love it. I've heard very good things reported of Tranquility, zapX, etc.

There are certainly some dangers in loading custom software since Moto has locked these phones down, but if you take your time and do some reading, particularly in terms of what can and can't be recovered (SBF, etc), I think you will find that there is plenty of customization that can still be done on the X.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] falcon26:
I have seen lots of threads about the crystal clear screen protectors and what to get. But what about anti glare ones? I want one that hides finger prints well. Which one do people usually go for?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] DarkTharen:
The one we got from our local Verizon store has been the best screen protector I have used. It hides glare along with fingerprints I believe the screen protector was the same one you can get from Verizon. I have used screen protectors for everything from Nintendo DS, Tmobile G1, T-mobile My Touch, Lowrance H20c GPS, Lowarance Endura GPS.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Div033:
I just bought some cheap matte screen protectors off ebay and I am very unsatisfied. Makes everything appear blurry and seems to be more reflective than my clear ones.

So I am wondering this as well... I've had good experience with matte protectors in the past since they Ward off fingerprints but this one is unsatisfactory.

Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA app.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Div033:
Fyi I think I figured out why matte screen protectors look so bad on our phones. I'm used to my iPod touch matte screen protector which doesn't blur the screen very much at all, but then I noticed the difference in HEIGHT from the screen to the top of the glass display. If you look you'll notice there's quite a considerable gap. My iPod touch has very little distance between the surface and the screen. Unfortunately, the more distance between the matte material and the subject (in this case our screen) the blurrier the subject will be when viewed through the matte material.

So in short, matte screen protectors dont play nice with our phones period. Its part of the design and nature of the beast. Your best better is to get one of the many crystal clear screen protectors. I heard good things about the seidio one so I ordered a package of two...

[Droid Incredible Accessories] whipstitch:
SGP Steinheil Anti Fingerprint is the best one I've found. It's not blurry but it does look a little grainy up close. IMO it's a worthwhile tradeoff for having an anti-glare matte finish and no fingerprint smudges.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] BigNate:
yeah im with whipstitch on this i have the spg anti-fingerprint one and i like it a lot it makes moving my finger across my screen super easy and they have a nice feel to them and they aren't to blurry only if you hold it really close to your face but other wise its fine.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] BABABANG:
The Boxwave doesn't sacrifice any quality but is a bit on the pricy side. From what i've seen, its the best.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Div033:
Blah you guys are making me think twice about these types! Ill have to order some and see what happens. I can always fall back on the seidio ones if I'm not happy I suppose.

Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA app.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] kekspernikai:
I'm using SGP Crystal Clear, and I love it. It's extremely anti-fingerprint compared to the stock screen, in my opinion (although it may not be as anti-fingerprint as the "Anti-Fingerprint" model). I just didn't want to sacrifice any visual quality, and I'm happy with the protector I got.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] W4LLY:
SGP, hands down.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] luvit:
I'm using the screen protectors from verizon. For $15 you get a set of 3.

They are not matte, but I don't struggle with glare.

I've been using the same first protector for 5months.

The highest reason I recommend this screen protector is that it's smooth.

I use the swype keyboard and other screen protectors produce dragwhen I swype my finger.

Here is a very simple instruction on rooting LG GT540 when Universal Androot doesn't work:

1. Download and extract the attached package.

2. Connect the phone in "USB Debbuging Mode"

3. Doubleclick "root.bat" (extracted from the package)

4. Wait for the console to shut down and the phone to reboot. :)

The credit for this method goes probably to people from Modaco.

Since this is my first post and i am still not allowed to post links from external servers i won't give any mirrors for unregistered users. Sorry. :(
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] m4k4ve1icro:
Any confirmation that this works?

Wow, thank you. I will certainly try this when I am sober (tomorrow morning).

I appreciate your taking the time to share this.

Have a good weekend!
[HD2 Android SD Development] noellenchris:
Thanks! worked great....:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] crawlingcity:
thanks! worked perfectly
[HD2 Android SD Development] eeeeeee:
haha.. funny, this is the RIGHT way to do it: (credit goes to me )

1) put your phone on the surface and then

2) Gscript to stop gsen.

3) Go to callibration tool and press callibrate..

4) activate Gsensor through Gscript.

thats it and gsensor is fully callibrated to your way. no need to mess with system files.
[HD2 Android SD Development] memin1857:
Don't you think I already knew that? I wrote this long procedure because calibration tool corrupts calibration and doesn't work with many people. With many builds, chefs write don't calibrate your sensor. You need the gsensor script to be able to stop gsensor (kill akmd) since you didn't share it, people won't be able to do it anyway.

I suggest backing up complete Android folder before attempting to auto calibrate g-sensor within Android. Forum is full of people who calibrated under android and everything is messed up.
[HD2 Android SD Development] eeeeeee:
gsensor calibration tool causes nothing.. in my way -> t does exactly what you do..

i know that with the evo kernel the gsensor callibration is kinda corrupted, but it still works perfectly when following my orders.

although i would suggest not doing this with gsensor on.

as long as the gsensor is off when calibrating, there is no risk to mess the gsensor up.

although when callibrating with gsensor on messes the whole thing up, you can fix it following my orders again.

although its still nice that you edited the beginning of your tutorial:
[HD2 Android SD Development] memin1857:
I have made extensive tests and found out that you are actually doing no proper calibration. You are breaking other things.

- If you disable g-sensor before you open your sensor app (calibration tool) than you get no data from the g-sensor (since you disabled it) and can't calibrate.

- Phone must be very still while you disable g-sensor or the orientation data will get frozen at wrong values. And sensor app must be open beforehand.

If you fail calibration (y axis) will get messed up badly and won't work again. It wil flicker between full up and full down and further calibration attempts will make compass constantly spin.

- Still if you could do it all, nothing changes, offset is still there and calibration is wrong after following your instructions. (Try bubble app or sensor app with real sensitive degree values and you will see)

I searched your posts and saw that you are complaining about touch freezes. Maybe if you don't do auto calibration you may get less freezes?

Also please DO share anything you know. It is not enough to just say -disable g-sensor with gscript- People don't know that script, and if you don't share they can't do it. I saw your thread, you got 0 replies in 20 days, maybe because it doesn't work.

I advise against doing autocalibration. And remember, this is not a pissing contest. We are not doing this for the credit. We should be doing this for helping community. (You should have written nicer, instead of looking like showing off how genious you are and how fool we are. We know some things too.)

My way of doing it is NOT direct calibration. It is providing offset to g-sensor data that many people can do without the risk and can be restored back easily.

Note: I have found out that calibration tool generates a file named AccPrmsF.ini in the same folder with extreme z value. Sometimes a bma_result.txt gets created again with wrong values. Its content is input to AK8973Prms.txt again with extreme z value. If you restore your original AK8973Prms.txt g-sensor starts working properly again. (see post 10 & 11)

eywallah bro :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] gorelshv:
wow! thank you very much!

will try and post results soon.
[HD2 Android SD Development] crawlingcity:
Default configuration have freezes: YES (from time to time, not always)

New values fix freezes: YES. Post 11

Different files: NO

Build/Kernel: hyperdroid 1.6 / michyprima R11

before, using a live wallpaper called shake them all, the phone would insta-freeze on me.

using your values from post 11 (simple copy paste), no more freezes. And i really abused the wallpaper!

If this changes, i'll report here

EDIT: new answers
[HD2 Android SD Development] memin1857:
Post 1 is not for freeze fixes.

The solution is not long term.

I am extensively trying to find out what exactly made the freezes go away.

Because while it worked for many hours. After reboot freezes came back. I will hopefully find out why. Also the reason why the values change every minute is mistery. Contents of the file (values) change after you start or switch to any app that accesses the sensors. After android has booted it won't get updated unless the sensor reading apps are working.

I have been trying with many builds and kernels for theese freezes and they were never gone before. This time it never froze for several testing hours till I rebooted. That must be something.

Fixing the g-sensor after calibration corruption is ok. Adjusting level offset is also ok. But freezes need some more testing.
[HD2 Android SD Development] crawlingcity:
new answers in my above post.

you said that after the reboot freezes would happen. i change the permissions to read only on the AK8973Prms file, rebooted and no freezes.
[HD2 Android SD Development] memin1857:
I am glad it worked for you and we are making progress.

I also had tried changing permissions before but after one minute permissions revert back to writable and the files is updated by the system.
[HD2 Android SD Development] crawlingcity:
just tested again. restored the default file (with the default values) and as soon as the little droids (or homers in my case) start moving - freeze.

Changed again to your values in post 11, changed permissions to read only, rebooted, played with the phone, i even juggled my HD2! No freezes. I think i won't change anything, unless i need to correct the pitch and the roll.
[HD2 Android SD Development] memin1857:
How are you changing the permissions?

I change permissions to readonly with rootexplorer and after I switch to sensordebug or bubble or phone tester app, the file reverts its permissions back to writable and gets updated.

BTW bubble app freezes more frequently than other apps. But when my freezes were gone, even bubble app never froze even when abused.
[HD2 Android SD Development] crawlingcity:
I'm just using root explorer. Select the file, uncheck the "write" option, close root explorer. Open sensor debug or whatever, check the file, untouched.
[HD2 Android SD Development] memin1857:
I am doing the same but it becomes writable again. Must be because of different sensors.xxx.so file and build or maybe because you are trying with a wallpaper and not an app.

BTW editing the file on windows pc may not work because of paragraphing difference between windows and linux. If this happens, my phone just adds new zero values to the end of the file.

I am dying to reproduce the fix. I will test with some different builds. That constant file updating is killing me.

Did you use MDJ S3.1 kernel before this one? It has additional camera modules which could cause the problem.

Also delete old sdcard/android/root contents.

[HD2 Android SD Development] jdivic:
Sorry, I can't see the log... as we stated this is kind of hack not "the proper" solution because all this patch do is resetting i2c bus as soon as possible instead of 2 second waiting (this is done only for gsen readings)... for some reason once in a while gsen chip doesn't release the bus after position on one of the axes has been read... Until now that situation has been handled by bus_wait_nobusy procedure which waited for 2 seconds before reseting i2c bus... we managed to shorten that time to only few miliseconds, so it appears that all is working well... but it is normal that log shows that there is an error on the bus, but you should see that error has been resolved in few miliseconds instead of 2 seconds like it was before... thats all the magic...
