[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipeench:
Yeah, I'm with master... you sure you got the right drivers??

check out my thread here.. I had troubles with odin at first and as I figured out what i was doing wrong I updated the post. It pretty much walks you through what to do and directs you to different threads that deal with odin, the files needed, and what to do to make it all work.

If usb debugging was not enabled and you can't boot up the phone, you are screwed. I had the same thing happen to me. Sorry.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndhr3d:
You shouldn't need USB Debugging if you are getting into download mode... I had the OTA JI6 update freeze my phone at the Vibrant screen. I was stock, unrooted, no debugging, and my phone is less than 2 months old.

I was able to get into Download mode by pulling battery (since power off didn't work), put battery back in, hold down volume up + volume down buttons, plug USB into computer, plug USB into phone and download mode came right up...

I then unplugged the USB from the computer and opened ODIN.

Plugged the USB back into the computer and ODIN recognized it... ran the JI6 ODIN update and it soft bricked with the computer ! phone logo... simply ran through the same procedure to get back into download mode and re-flashed with ODIN and it worked fine after that!! No data loss or anything!!

You just have to keep trying... you may think you've tried everything, but try it all again because doing it a second time, you may get lucky and it works.

Good luck!!

[Droid X Themes and Apps] dreamersipaq:
Hi all,

So, I'm no coder, themer, whatever by any means, but I looked around, couldn't find it, and decided that I wanted it. So I created a quick mod of Tranquil.'s framework-res.apk by switching out the battery related .pngs. This is nothing special... but I figured I'd share in case someone else likes it.

Credit for original PNG's goes to Fightspit. Original thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=724778

Please, please make a nandroid backup in case it hoses your phone. It shouldn't but be warned... If your phone decides to become an expensive paperweight, it's not my fault. You knew the risks (though in worst case you should still be able to sbf).

I'm attaching a screenie, and the apk. To install the apk, this is how I did it, there might be easier ways, but dunno, I like ADB so that's what I use.

1) Download the apk and put it onto the root of your sd card

2) The steps

a) open the adb shell and become root if you're not already

adb shell

b) become root

su -

c) mount /system as RW

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

d) Temporarily place file in /system/app to change permissions. I moved it here so I could change permissions before overwriting the original apk since for some reason it wouldn't let me change permissions on /sdcard, ... otherwise I guess there'd be boot loops galore

cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/app/framework-res.apk

e) Change directory to where you just moved the apk

cd /system/app

f) Actually change the permissions

chmod 644 framework-res.apk

g) overwrite original apk with my changed one

mv framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

b) reboot phone to make changes

reboot

Let me know if you like it.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] will2live:
Looks really good. I was just modding my TranQ 3.0 framework-res last night myself to change the batery to the round clock. I did however use one of the other circular battery icons tho. After seeig this tho I may have to make another change to mine now.....lol.

Hi, can someone list all RMNET builds? I've had enough of PPP builds, data disconnects all the time:(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] euro_e93:
no one knows of any?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gmi0078:
rmnet

core droid v0.5
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] euro_e93:
how do you distinquish PPP from RMNET?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dharvey4651:
Usually the build will say somewhere in the description whether it is RMNET or PPP.

Try checking the threads to see what they are.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beretta93:
Since evo kernel, there is no rmnet build anymore. You've go to look for much older builds, like mid-august or less.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pete777:
Search for NexusHD2 from tytung, its only one week old..its got rmnet option, which i'm using without any data drops..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] anap40:
The best rmnet build is probably ShubCraft 1.5 (it is not sense - not sure if you wanted sense or not)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jae-v:
bangsters 1.5 probably the best, everything is adjustable via startup.txt
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rgrover:
Personally I've found hyperdroid 1.7 to be the fastest and most stable build out there, was previously using Shubcraft 1.5. With Michyprima r11 non axi kernel I have working bluetooth handsfree, wifi, wifi/USB router, stable 3g, mms, camera with flash & zero screen freezes. The only things I can think of that don't work are USB storage & light sensor.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] euro_e93:
so I have:

CoreDroid, NexusHD2, Hyperdroid, Bangsters, & ShubCraft...........anyone know which one consumes the least battery power on standby?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malaeus:
RMNET relies on the nexus kernel. most android kernels now have been built from EVO (PPP only) you can run a simple build, as i saw shubcraft was recommended and i agree. just be sure to run a nexus based kernel and you will be able to run RMNET. search around in development (DO NOT POST NEW THREAD) and you will find the new RMNET/PPP switch for nexus kernels.

[Droid 2 General] felix.akinyemi:
OTA coming tonight, for real this time

http://androidapproved.com/item/motorola-rolling-out-droid-2-ota-update-tonight/
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Not if you are running Fission. Lol
[Droid 2 General] bbianchi:
It does appear that rooted users need to beware.

I have removed all the bloat except for the 3G AP app, and I can not install the OTA.mainly because i am lazy I am going to SBF and then OTA and re-root.
[Droid 2 General] JDunc:
Tell us if you can root after OTAing
[Droid 2 General] jediman:
Dumb question from me...

I just recently installed the 2.3.15 leak from Motorola (posted in the forums here). Will it still prompt me to update or do I have to sbf back to stock?
[Droid 2 General] spaceape99:
I'm rooted and deodexed, but otherwise stock. Have been checking for updates today and not received the update yet... I should at least see the update, yeS?
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
I got the update.
[Droid 2 General] bladearronwey:
Just following up here as well, do NOT attempt to SBF your device using the current available droid 2 sbf if you get the update. Angdroid/Motoboy was testing it out on his development D2 and it's now a paper weight.

My advice, exercise extreme caution with this OTA, from what I hear you will be stuck with stock D2 MotoBlur for hte time being if you update.
[Droid 2 General] JuvenTino.ks:
Thanks for the tip!
[Droid 2 General] spaceape99:
I still haven't seen the update and am considering doing a factory reset. Has anyone gotten any information about the performance increase / battery life in the update, is it worthwhile to seek it out?
[Droid 2 General] lordv8r:
Is this update for the R2D2 version also?
[Droid 2 General] tgrantjr:
I have been hitting system update now for a few days. Just a few times a day. I still have not gotten the update. Is there any way to make it go? I figured it would have gotten to me by now.
[Droid 2 General] CurlyDE:
Same here ...
[Droid 2 General] tgrantjr:
at least im not the only one not getting it. Would doing a factory reset possibly kick it to start?
[Droid 2 General] JDunc:
Factory reset didn't do it for me. If you really want it, just flash the 2.3.2 SBF
[Droid 2 General] spaceape99:
This thread at droidforums has a link to an update file. Probably shorter/easier than applying a new .sbf, but same result.

People are also saying that the 1-2-3 root method will give root back after applying the update.

That said I have not applied either and have still not received the update automatically.
[Droid 2 General] bladearronwey:
Verizon doesn't push the update to everyone at the same time, different markets will get the update at different times. They do this to not overload the servers :)
[Droid 2 General] hector12t:
How would I tell if i got the update?
[Droid 2 General] spaceape99:
I gave up waiting and applied the update from droidforums using the stock bootloader. Worked like a charm on my stock droid 2. Haven't yet re-rooted since I don't really see a need for root at the moment.
[Droid 2 General] CurlyDE:
I was able to pull down the update today. It just finished, so no comments or thoughts on it yet.

edit:

I restored the bloatware and unrooted before applying the update. No issues upgrading. I have not tried to apply root again (yet).
[Droid 2 General] Phoible:
Seems like it doesn't play nicely with ClockworkMod. Since I can't figure out how to get rid of ClockworkMod, I'm going to try one of the manual updates (or failing that, an SBF).
[Droid 2 General] event121:
I got the update via manual pull this morning (Menu > Settings > About Phone > System Updates).

I flashed the old .sbf first to get back to stock and unrooted. Kept checking. Last night MotoBlur servers finally stopped responding (assuming reboot) and this morning 6a EST -ish I was able to grab it.

From what I've read, reapplying root is even easier than it was when we first got the D2's.

Bonus: D/L'd and Installed at 70% battery. Installed EVERYTHING and more from the Market and set up most of my apps and settings again. Played some Angry Birds and hit 50% battery around the 9 hour mark. My phone has never survived a backup, flash, download, restore like this.

Recommend setting things not to check automatically. The phone runs alot better (well it would if it could :D).
[Droid 2 General] snowman9031:
did a man. pull and i was rooted. loaded ok but lost root so i used superoneclick and now blazong fast and smooth running at 1.3:)
[Droid 2 General] yunghostage:
Already upgraded and 2.3.2 is running sweet, not really feeling a need to reroot.
[Droid 2 General] pool_shark:
I was able to update while rooted after moving all of the preinstalled apps back into place.

I was then able to re-root using the same no pc method I used originally.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] aceman0455:
ok id like to see if anyone can help me out here. I really want to change the AT&T text in the status bar drop down. (its just below the wifi button in white lettering.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] peurocs4:
Um... I think it's possible when creating a ROM...

But I'm guessing it's one of the CODING that developers didn't found out yet...

And yes... it would be cool to change text; something like MY NAME! ^^

Sorry, that I didn't help u much
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fritzgerald:
There's a way to hide the AT&T and input your own text. But I haven't found to change the AT&T text.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] mailaliasgar:
My first contribution to XDA after leeching for two years :)

I developed this app after being "inspired" from a similar clock at Thinkgeek. Tell the time by counting the number of colored blocks!

The time in the screenshot is 10:15. There is an option to change the refresh rates and to randomize the placement of the blocks.

Use this as a desktop clock if you have the verizon case with the kickstand. Try it out. Any suggestions / feedback are appreciated.

Install Instructions:

Download the attached apk file.

Navigate to your android tools directory (assumes you have android sdk installed) and type:

adb install <Path to DesktopClock v 1.0.apk>

Alternatively, you can save the apk file to your sd card and use something like Astro File Manager to install the apk.

[Touch Pro CDMA] skywalker6705:
When I do a soft reset, my phone is fine and everything works okay. However, after the first time the screen cuts off to standby, when it resumes the buttons on the bottom panel (Home, Back, Call, End, Select) no longer function. I can confirm that they all function perfectly prior to standby, and after the fact, none of them.

I'm wondering if this is a known issue, and if there's anything I can do to patch it or look it up. I've tried a few different roms, and it's a constant issue. Even after a full wipe with Task29 and a reflash with two separate roms, the behavior sticks. As soon as the phone comes back from standby mode the buttons just fail.

If it's at all relevant this is a Sprint Touch Pro. If no one can help me and there's no alternative I ask for help finding a way to disable standby entirely. Sure keeping the LCD on constantly will drain the battery, but being able to use the answer and hang up buttons, and the camera FAR outweighs that.
[Touch Pro CDMA] skywalker6705:
Well, I haven't been able to find anyone with a solution, but I've worked around the issue a bit by installing Keepawake 1.1 and setting it to run when manilla is running. Now my phone never sleeps, and the face buttons work. I'm currently looking for a small piece of metal I can mount over the power button to prevent accidentally triggering standby mode. Then my phone will be mostly usable again. Hopefully someone can shed some insight as to the cause of it all, but for now at least I may have found a way to work around it. We'll see how it affects my battery life.

edit:

Most helpful recommendation (aside from a solution to the root of the problem): could anyone recommend a way to disable the power button, or possibly remap it to launch task manger or something useful?

edit2: Remapped the power button to lock the phone using RaphKeyboardConfig. Works okay for now. Between this and keepalive, my phone won't go into standby if left on it's own.

I received my screen protector today and proceeded to use the steamy bathroom method to put it on. No good, dust was still flying around like crazy. I had my screen going on but half way through a gigantic piece of dust flew under the screen. Using the provided stickers i tried to sticky it away... it added more dust. I accidentally dropped the second half the protector and now the entire thing is stuck on my screen and I can't remove it for the life of me. I'm getting really frustrated right now... anybody know how i can easily remove the screen protector?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] capactus:
Try to slide something thin under the protector that is unable to scratch your phone. Like a part of the plastic film that came with the protector. Once you get under there you'll be able to get it off.

Good luck
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ImraanK:
Use a toothpick to pry it open if you havent already...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jonni3:
Get some fat sellotape or packaging tape & apply it to a corner on the face of the screen protector, then gently lift the tape & screen protector away from the phones screen.

Watch this for how to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ96FLK_UTc&feature=youtube_gdata_player,

honestly it worked for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] fluidd:
hmm.. try Goo Gone??
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
wow thats one strong adhesive you got on that piece of protector!! ive done several installs for my friends and i never made a perfect one had to use the provided stickers to get some dust out and realign it.. never had issue from pulling it apart.. probably the steam added more to the adhesion ? just like water in the middle of 2 sheets of glass..
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kar200:
I had the exact same issue and ended up wasting the 2 protectors i boutght from ebay.

I tried to use every tape I could find at home and then ended up using some strong sctoch clear packaging tape and I actully tried more then 20 times (no joke) and ended up taping the whole screen protector to be able to remove it.

I ended up using a anti glare one I bought from a local shop and the install was much easier but quality not the same at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jonnie86:
Thanks for all the suggestions. I ended up using a cardboard card (the tags from clothes) and slid it against the edge of the protector till I got enough force to push up the protector. It seems the rigidity of the ultra crystal protector makes it much harder to take off.

My GMail stopped working today. It happened spontaneously, several hours after my most recent ZIP flash so I don't think it's related.

Basically I can get mail no problem but anything that requires sending data up to the server (sending mail, archiving or deleting mail) do not work. I've rebooted and I've done a nand restore with no effect.

Regular GMail is working fine so I don't think it's a temporary server issue. Any ideas?

Today I bricked my captivate and tried various methods to try to unbrick it.

But looks like it is really bricked and was wondering if RIFF JTAG would help

They seem to have added support for captivate today itself. So not sure how many folks would have used it to unbrick captivate, but in general has anyone used the RIFF jtag to unbrick any phone?

Or has any one used the JTAG to unbrick captivate?

Found a forum that people have successfully unbricked with the JTAG, but I have yet to get in touch with any of them to see if I can get them to unbrick mine for me.

If anyone is willing to do this, I'd be willing to pay some $ for it, I don't trust my soldering skills, or I'd buy the JTAG and attempt it myself.

Thanks!
