Is there any moto soft to restore or update the firmware from desktop ?

I just got mine and want to clean all the crappy moto apps from system and do some tricks, but want to be sure that I'll be able to restore system in case I'm too "aggressiv" ^^
[Flipout and Charm General] Sakem:
Ok ^^ Self Answering

Probably using RSD lite

Tuto and files/drivers "here"

And some firmwares (+ bootloader) "here"

WATCH OUT ! METHOD NOT TESTED YET (by myself at least)

The "here" are empty cos it seems i'm not allowed to post link, which means not allowed to help you ^^ Sorry for that

Ok so i flashed my phone at least three times with odin, JI6, JI2, and stock, now I want to flash the JI6 again, but only this time when I use Odin, it will freeze during the flashing process (not literally freeze, it just wont continue with the process) and so the phone is stuck in between th phone...Pc icon, any suggestions??

update: I believe I got something up, it looked like it was going to flash correctly, all of the sudden stopped again in "Get PIT for mapping"...

update #2: Phones dead, wont turn on, i guess pretty soon i would be selling a "dead Vibrant" *sigh*
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasesavestheday:
How does one sort google contacts? situation is: i have all of my phone contacts backed up via gmail. though when i add them to my phone i also get a ton of random email addresses in my contacts on my phone, so therefore i have to go through everytime and delete all of them.

how do i create just a folder on gmail so it will only sync those contacts and not email addresses?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
Going off memory (phone upstairs and to lazy to go get it) but

you can't control what syncs, but there is an option in the Captivate contacts to only show contacts with phone numbers.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulbh:
Go to your contacts on gmail and move anyone you don't synced to your phone out of the "My Contacts" group.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasesavestheday:
this will still allow me to sync them to the phone?

i did realize "my contacts" does include many email addy's.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaseone:
Gmail used to add all contacts to the My Contacts group including those that you just email without you specifically adding them, it no longer does that but you do need to go through the My Contacts group in Gmail and uncheck all the ones you don't want synced from the My Contacts group. They will just then be available under Other Contacts I believe in Gmail and not synced.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcdewi:
Stock the Captivate won't currently sync just My Contacts. Cognition gives you the option to hide the others. (In contacts>menu>more>display options>google then select which groups to display

Well two bugs come to mind when i think of the LEAKED JI6 build;

2) the mms app had problems with picture messages

does anyone know if these two issues were fixed in the OFFICIAL JI6 build?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lordraiderke:
Hello,

I am creating an application for android for my HD2.

I did everything according to the camera api tutorial but when the preview comes up on te screen the image was flipped horizontally.

I have fixed it by calling the method "setDisplayOrientation" and turning it again 90 degrees.

camera.setDisplayOrientation(90);

camera.startPreview();

But I still see if i rotate my camera slowly to landscape that the image gets skewed a bit :(. I don't want the image getting skewed when changing from potrait to landscape. The build in android camera app doesn't do this.

Am I forgetting something? Does the SurfaceView has incorrect width/height ?

It must be possible as the standard camera app doesn't skew it when I turn the camera horizontally.

Thx in advance.
[Desire General] Dragooon123:
I don't get it, After 8 hours and 20 minutes of uptime, my Wi-Fi has a usage of 5% whereas Cell standby has a usage of 10% under battery use. What is Cell standby anyway and why is it eating so much battery?
[Desire General] elburna:
I think thats pretty normal. My cell standby is normally at about 20% (little bit above WiFi). Well in the end it depends on what you do. If you dont use your phone at all, Cell Standby would probably have around 60% or more (relative values).

One more thing is, that these values are often wrong and nreliable. In my case Android System is always using 40-60% (cell standby around 20% and some small other stuff) no matter what i do with the phone, which cant be true because my battery life is quite normal. I just think, that these statistics are crap on some phones though i dont know the reason....

BTW: Cell Standby is just the normal communication between phone and GSM-Antenna, so that calls and messages can reach you. Its a kind of idle communication. Switching between bands (2G/3G) p.ex. consumes a lot of power in this respect....
[Fascinate Android Development] mptrh336:
I used the 1 click toot method and thought I may return my fascinate. I decided against it and tried to root again with no luck. The root always has a bunch of FC's and eventually gets stuck. The generic ringer also starts with no way to stop it. Only a battery pull will restart the phone afterward. I have also already really installed the Samsung drivers for the phone. Anybody have any thoughts?
[Fascinate Android Development] mastibeta:
Did you go back to stock via odin...if not do so...and push root manually...instead of an app.
[Fascinate Android Development] mptrh336:
I did through Odin. Tried to push root manually last night. The phone froze right after the push and never recovered. Had to battery pull. I had all of the files pushed and got to the chmod and wait stage when it froze.
[Fascinate Android Development] mastibeta:
Hmm, maybe re push to stock in odin...make sure you are doing the correct files...though it sounds like you did...a second time around sometimes seems to hit the spot...droid used to give me the same issues with sbf.
[Fascinate Android Development] broncobiker:
Do a factory data reset after you redo the odin recovery. Make sure you are using the verizon file when pushing each flash and doing it in the proper order. Then manually root, dont use one click or an app.

Also remember to push the files one at a time and let the phone restart between each one booting back into download mode.
[Fascinate Android Development] mptrh336:
I've been working all weekend so I havent had too much time to deal with it. I wiped data and cache in the recovery menu initially and then the phone wouldn't allow me to sign back into my Google account. It kept telling me that I didn't have a data connection on 3g OR wifi. I finally did a factory reset through the privacy menu (not in recovery) and all seems to finally be working and completely stock. Now off to root and flash voodoo...

Got it. Just for the record: Rooted, Flashed all three files with Odin to get "back to stock". Re-OTA'd. Somehow Busybox and Su were still there so I manually removed. Then changed my mind about returning the phone and attempted to root again with no luck. Re-flashed through Odin ok, then attempted root but errors prevented finish. Cleared data and wiped cache through recovery. Then my google account wouldn't resync b/c of network connection error, even though I had a working data connection the entire time. Tried booting into recovery and clear and wipe data again. No luck. Finally decided to use factory data reset from within settings. Now all clear, rooted again, re-synced my google account and all good. You guys rock. Thanks for the help.

[Vibrant General] Stresa:
For those of you having a problem with Windows 7 recognizing your Vibrant ... here is how I fixed it on my system.

*Note: You do not need to load any special USB drivers for your phone to be recognized in Mass Storage mode in Windows 7.

*Warning: You follow these instructions at your own risk ... no screaming at me if you try it and something gets screwed up!

1) Navigate your way into the Device Manager / Universal Serial Bus Controller

2) Uninstall the device(s) "USB Root Hub" (My system had 2 listed)

3) You will lose mouse and keyboard control (because you just removed the USB Hubs)

4) Reset your PC and allow Windows to boot normally.

5) Go back to the device manager and wait for all of the "!" marks to go away as windows re-installs the USB Hubs and reinitializes all of your devices.

6) Make sure your Vibrant is in mass storage mode and has USB debugging OFF

7) Plug in your Vibrant via the USB cable and be amazed as windows recognizes your device and assigns the drive letters. After you select the mount option on your phone you will have normal access via windows explorer.

Hope this helps some of you out there !!!

[Vibrant General] dandab:
Thanks. I am having this problem right now. I used to work. now all of the sudden it just stopped connecting. But i have a clarification questions. when you say remove the usb root hub, do you mean uninstall or disable?

Thanks.
[Vibrant General] israel941:
I had the same problem after flashing JI6 via ODIN (after softbricking a la t-mobile ota), but I was able to fix it by enabling the prompt to ask what to do every time usb was connected, and then changing it back to treating it as mass storage. I read this suggestion in another forum (don't remember where) and it helped with mine.

I had no trouble before the update, it just started right after.
[Vibrant General] Stresa:
Sorry, I should have been more clear. It should say uninstall. You want to force windows to reinstall the devices.
[Vibrant General] epicalex:
I know this thread is old but if you change your view in device manager to view by connection you can find which root hub to uninstall and then re-install. This happened randomly when I was trying to update my epic and I didn't have to re-start because it was only the front ports root hub that was having the problem. Thanks for the help.

This is the "PMD DarkBlue" theme. It's mainly for those who like the darker themes but still want a little color.

Update: 12/22/10 v1.3

Themed the new Market to match (MUCH THANKS to JAguirre for helping me figure that out!), updated screenshots below.

Update: 12/19/10 v1.2

Themed Gmail: Replaced the new (ugly) gray notification from Gmail 2.3.2 with this one, along with some other theme integration.

Update: 12/16/10 v1.1

As you can see I have made a lot of improvements. The launcher Pro dock from my screen shots is in the third post. I made the text icons myself so there's only those 4 for now. If enough people are interested I may make a full set. NOTE: DarkBlue will change your clock and date color in the status bar to white so that it shows up on the black background. If you change themes and want the black clock and date back then just re-flash aospMod rom (no wipe) and it will change it back to stock.

You can get the AOSPmod Rom HERE

For aospMod Rom v9.9.1 and v9.9.2 use this:

PMD_DarkBlue_1.3-signed.zip
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] PMDColeslaw:
BlueSteel 1.6 12|16|10

This is the "PMD BlueSteel" Theme for aospMod Rom. I used the Steel theme as a base (Jettipottsy, Gomorrah versions) and added some color and different things to it. NOTE:BlueSteel will not change your clock or date color white. It's that way in the screen shots because I run DarkBlue which does change the clock and date color.

You can get the AOSPmod Rom HERE

For version 9.9.1 & 9.9.2 use this:

PMD_AOSP_1.5-signed.zip

Themed Market 2.2.7 PMD_DarkBlue_Market-signed.zip

Thanks in advance.

Right now I am running stock everything just unrevoked rooted on 2.1

Basically I want to upgrade to stock 2.2 and I'll go from there as far as what rom I will actually use this time around -etc-.

But I kind of want to start off fresh just contacts, pics and rooted 2.2

From my understanding I cant just upgrade via the pop up on the phone to 2.2 can i?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Yes, you can. So long as you didn't modify the essential programs. You'll lose root, but can gain it back with unrevoked.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blacryan:
Perfect I will click the install update that has been popping up every 30 mins or so since the release! :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomertwo:
If he currently has a custom recovery I think he will fail to do the OTA update. I know that you must have the stock recovery in order to go this method.

You could always just use the RUU program then run unrevoked 3.21 to gain root again. This will how ever erase everything you have the phone except for the SD card.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blacryan:
Yes the ota update didnt work.

Clockwork tells me

E: Failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

Installation Aborted
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomertwo:
You're going to have to use the RUU program or extract the rom.zip file from the RUU program to restore your phone. You can either RUU your phone back to stock 2.1 or you can just go 2.2. I would recommend going the 2.2 method as it saves you the hassle of waiting for the phone to download the OTA.

You should be able to find instructions on how to use the RUU throughout the forum or this section even. Just use the search button :).

*most people including my self was unable to use the RUU program due to driver conflicts. The only way a lot of use was able to use the RUU was to extract the rom.zip file and then rename it to PB31IMG.zip and flash it via Hboot.*

Again do a search and you should find instructions.

Side note: Be careful during the hboot update process. It will either send you to recovery or to fastboot. If you get sent to fastboot just select "bootloader" and hit the power button. This will put you back into hboot and the update will continue on its own.

If sent to recovery just select reboot phone and then hold volume down right afterwords to make sure you get into hboot again.

Caution: Never pull the battery during hboot or radio flashing as you will be very sorry and have a nice paper weight to remind you to never do this again.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiL3nTKiLL:
i would restore the phone to stock rom and then flash 2.2
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
I agree. My bad. I forgot about the OTA being incompatible with Clockwork. It's been a minute since I've been to stock.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomertwo:
The 2.2 RUU is now the Stock Rom that comes with the phone. The only issue I see flashing the 2.2 RUU would be if he had upgraded his radio beyond what the RUU would have done.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomertwo:
Also technically yes you will void your warranty by using the RUU as it wont be considered an official update according to your carrier. Only OTA's are considered official.

Then again you already voided your warranty when you rooted the phone so it shouldn't really matter.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blacryan:
When I boot up it gets past the HTC quietly brilliant goes to the droid eye then after the 2 red balls go back and forth the second time the phone just sits and freezes there. what did I do wrong?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blacryan:
so i managed to get booted, but I boot and it shows me as having no service and plenty of my programs just freeze up and pop up saying force close or wait
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomertwo:
Interesting. Where exactly did you get the ruu files? Also did you do anything while rooted with 2.1 like load custom rom's that could have required you to change anything beyond just flashing the rom?

I've never gone past stock when I was rooted but in one of my earlier threads when I joined this forum I decided to go back to unrooted as I needed my phone to work and didn't want to run the risk of it dieing on me due to a stupid mistake. *It's currently my only phone*

I've flashed the 2.2 ruu file twice now and had no issues what so ever.

Also did you pull your battery while waiting for the phone to boot up for the first time after flashing the RUU? If you did then this might explain why as the first boot always takes the longest as it's building caches I think and possibly doing settings and so forth.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] the orange bandit:
This is my first attempt at building a custom boot animation, so go easy on me. I built this by hand, creating each frame individually in Photoshop. It's a huge pain, but worth it to me.

I used to run http://www.Symbian-Guru.com, and I'm still emotionally attached to the 'Guru' brand, so I wanted that on my Nexus One. I'll work on this some more to try to make it better, but here's a video showing the first iteration:

[YOUTUBE]O-HZrG3MBq0[/YOUTUBE]

You can download the bootanimation.zip from here: http://bit.ly/guruboot

You *should* be able to just paste this into data\local using Root Explorer, but if you're on CM6, the only way I could get it to work was using the following adb instructions:

adb remount

(should say successful here)

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

(should show the info of the move)

adb reboot
