[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtoZ0to9:
previous post changed, im horrible with time... I agree Motorola has fallen off... and if it werent for them adopting and coddling android they would have fallen off even worse... but the old samsungs were pretty terrible... bad os, hard to unlock, hardware problems... they were too focused on tv's maybe... motorola and nokia used to rule the cell world... now they suck... only htc has been strong enough to develop top handsets their entire existence... and quite hackable... i never thought once id own a samsung, but they have come around... tv's too... can't count out the rest though, once you think someone's down, they get back up...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Weselers:
Honestly Motorolla phones as I've noticed tend to be quite laggy, maybe the Atrix will be the one to break that trend with the dual-core proccessor but then again wouldn't a samsung dual-core be even less laggy? The captivate still has some time before it falls below top-tier (with custom ROMs that is) Stick it out, By the end of the year I've heard rumors of quad-core... here's to hoping :D

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PizzaAmerican23:
I have 4 lines on my account. 3 of which dont care what kind of phone they have, and I HAVE to have ATT, so i would be stupid not to use my subsidized price on a 2 year contract.

I had 2 this summer and bought a captivate with one and a iphone4 with the other and sold it.

And I'm probably gonna hold off on the Atrix, ill probably wait until something substantially better comes out. Maybe quad core like someone mentioned?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Um.. wouldn't you have to spend 500 $ for the phone though?

And.. since the Atrix is a Motorola device - isn't it going to be facing the same hurdles due to the bootloader/protection crap they have been throwing in all of their devices (except the Xoom apparently - go figure)?

Wish AT&T had a decent HTC device... (and no not the ARIA)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PizzaAmerican23:
isnt an evo clone coming out fot att?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
well the inspire is out if that's what you mean, but it is both better and worse than the evo, much better hardware and performance but no hdmi. images dont look as washed out on the inspire and the cpu is newwer and probably less of a battery hog and gpu is very good but galaxy s is still faster gpu wise.

there will also be the infuse which is samsung and will have a 4.5inch screen and hdmi. word on the processor is 1.2ghz assumed to be a hummingbird, all other specs seem to be the same as a galaxys2 and a samsung senior systems engineer i talk to seemed to think that the infuse was a galaxy s 2 but he is an engineer for cdma and likely doesnt know alot about the att contract phones.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djinferno806:
I read somewhere that the performance differences arent even noticeable and that the atrix is still pretty laggy in the UI. IF this is the case then no point upgrading.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
After playing with an atrix, no not worth it at all

What we have here with custom roms and kernels is a faster phone with a much better display. The hype on that phone is just hype
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtoZ0to9:
i would probably wait as well... used to love motorola, was a developer for the old p2k phones... and the atrix seems like a sweet phone... im hoping that there will be a quad core htc phone for att in the next six monthes... definately at least wait to see how the development for atrix progresses...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santaclaws:
Hello all.

I rooted my G2 using the gfree method and all went well(I have S-Off). It was much easier then the process for my G1.

Current setup

HBOOT-0.82.0000

RADIO 26.03.02.26_M

Cyanogenmod 6.1.1

So my question is should I bother to update my bootloader? A friend of mine with a similar setup said I should upgrade but what additional functionality would I get? Anyway I hope this does not seem like a stupid question.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
The Eng HBoot gives you fastboot capabilities. That's about it. If you don't really use fastboot, then there is no reason to flash it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santaclaws:
Thank you for the reply but Im confused.

When I go into the boot loader it says fastboot and it shows up if I do 'fastboot devices' from the command prompt. I thought that meant I have fastboot capabilities? Or am I misunderstanding something?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
If you have the stock bootloader, you don't have privileges like "fastboot flash" capabilities. It will show up with "fastboot device" because you have the phone in fastboot. It's like in adb, doing "adb devices" will show it up, even if you don't have superuser privileges.

Hope that clears things up a bit.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santaclaws:
Ok now I understand. Thank you for your patience.

Looking back on the root instruction on the cyanogen site now I see the section referring to replacing the bootloader.

Now I hear alot about flashing the wrong radio and bootloader versions. How do I know for sure the file on the cyanogen site (0.76.2000) is the correct one?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
That's the one that I have on my G2
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
Side note. I was looking at the wiki on XDA and it has the Eng HBoot for the G2 listed as 0.84.2000 and the DZ HBoot as 0.76.2000 that are hyperlinked to download.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those two supposed to be switched? My G2 has 0.76.2000, which is what I used when I first achieved perma root using the rage method before gfree. This is also listed on the CM wiki. I am by no means an expert, but I thought the two HBoot's were not interchangeable between the two devices.

Anyone care to chime in on this to share some light? I would hate to start a thread for this question of mine to be answered.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santaclaws:
Yes I noticed the same thing. XDA has 84.2000 and CM has 76.2000. Relevent links posted below.

tazz, what radio version do you have? Id like to update my radio as well, hopefully it will clear up some issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
My radio version is the one dumped from the RUU_Vision_Hutch_AUS_1.85.861.3_Radio_12.28h.60.14 0f_26.06.02.27_M_release.

It's found in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=959488

The instructions to flash with fastboot are there, as well as an update.zip, so you should have no problems there.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhkr234:
Regarding the engineering hboot;

The ONLY known brick was made by scotty2 by playing with hboot commands that are only available in the engineering hboot. In other words, it allows you more freedom to control the device, but at the expense of potentially REALLY f-ing it up if you mess with things that you don't understand.

With a radio s-off phone, you can save the phone from literally anything, even without the engineering hboot. As a matter of safety, the engineering hboot is *not required*. In terms of convenience, it is nice, as long as you don't go playing with things you don't understand.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santaclaws:
Tazz. Thank you for the info. but should I upgrade the SPL before that installing that radio?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
If you want to upgrade the radio through fastboot then yeah, you need to upgrade the spl first.

Otherwise, you can just update the radio through the update.zip in bootloader the pc10img.zip way, then you can do the spl upgrade.

Its really a personal preference.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
You were right I updated the XDA Wiki to reflect the correct info on the ENG. Hboot for the G2 which is 0.76.2000 and the DZ which is 0.84.2000. Good Catch.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
You're a good man joemm. Thanks for fixing things.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santaclaws:
I went ahead and upgraded to the Eng hboot. No Brick. Yay!

tazz. occasionally my phone loses data connectivity. i can still make phone calls but no data. i notice if i kill the radio process internet works after the signal comes back. do you think an update to my radio would help this issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
Yeah it could help it. I upgraded my radio and I get better data reception now than I did with the older radio version that I had.

I had the same problem, where I would have to reboot the phone to regain data. It still happens once in a blue moon, but not like it did before.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santaclaws:
At least I am not the only one having that issue. Its a bit annoying.

The only "solution" I found was to make a simple gscript to kill all radio processes. Its quicker then a reboot. Not sure if killing the radio process has any negative effect but the phone seems fine after.

I just leave the shortcut on the desktop and use it whenever I need it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradley_e_smith:
Thanks for the info here, I had been searching this forum for at least 2 days now, looking for information on the eng-hboot and was it needed or not.

Being new to all this, could this eng-hboot vs hboot be on the wiki somewhere? My thoughts are that once I got my phone rooted and backed up I was trying to figure out what the next step was before flashing any ROM. I really don't want to mess up my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santaclaws:
From what I gather the main thing with the eng hboot is that it lets you do the fastboot commands.

and apparently it has other stuff that can also brick your phone lol

There's no easy way of making Navigon NA maps work. The only proven method is to use 1.7.x IPA maps and setting up your local web server.

You don't need a webserver. Just copy the maps to the phone with Windows Explorer (reg hack to make phone appear as media device) and then copy them with TouchXplorer to the Navigon dir.

Maps folder missing

Hi,

I am missing the "map" folder in my WP7.

Can somebody help me pls?

* Once the files are copied, start TouchXplorer on your device and go into \My Documents\Zune\Content\0400\02\. Here you will find all the files you just copied onto the phone (note - they are now named 050.z or similar).

* Select the files and copy them. Now, navigate to the \Applications\Data\6F9CB464…..\Data\IsolatedStorage\map folder and paste the files. This will take a few minutes (depending on how many maps you extracted).

* Once finished, select each of the newly copied files and rename them to the correct filename, i.e. country.map.

Thanks, Ari

After the navigon installation, run the program. It will ask to download the files through Zune or WiFi. Say OK to download the appropriate files.

After the downloading, we can see the "MAP" folder hasbeen added.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laazyboy:
I recently did a factory reset and format on my Vibrant and then rooted it, but kept the stock TW and everything. Recently, whenever I opened up an app that required an internet connection like textPlus or XDA, the wifi icon on the top bar would disappear and the app would simply not work. In the wifi settings, it says the my wifi network is found, but there is no signal strength, and under the option to turn wifi on or off it would say "unsuccessful." I can then turn wifi OFF and turn it on again and the network would then have like 3 or 4 bars and is functional, but whenever I would open up textPlus or XDA, it will show an animation of the app opening but I would still see my homescreen except nothing is responsive (and the wifi icon will disappear). I can get out of this by pressing the home button, but it'll freeze whenever I turn on the apps. Anyone have an idea of what's going on?

That's not true when you downloaded Foliomod 1.4

In the Foliomodv14.zip is a file called update.zip, the file update.zip should be copied to a SDCard and the follow the given instructions.
[Folio 100 General] tominoker:
Today I wanted to install Modfolio 1.4 and after preparing my SDcard I had those weird messages Can't mount SD-card can't find update.zip while attempting to upgrade from a Modfolio 1.3d ...

I read alot and here is how I solved the issue... If fact I applied all the recommanded methods :)...

First I prepared a new SD-card I took my SD-CARD under linux mint I used disk remove the partition and made a 1GB new partition utility.

Formated it in FAT32 and put on it the update.zip file on it.

I started my folio tablet and activated in settings > applications> usb debugging ( not sure this has anyeffect)

- I installed Android SDK + Google usb driver

- I updatate the android_winusb.inf

- I copyed to $android_sdk/tools the recovery.img from dexter's update-recovery.zip

- I rebooted my folio and put it in fastboot mode (3 time pow then vol+). I plugged my folio 100

with usb to my desktion computer.

- In windows, CMD.EXE I navigated to $android_sdk/tools and I used

fastboot erase recovery

fastbot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot console output was:

sending 'recovery' (4964 KB)... OKAY [ 0.325s]

writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 0.733s]

finished. total time: 1.058s

- I rebooted my folio100 entered the recovery mode (pow +, pow -, pow +) and the install of the Modfolio 1.4 started smoothly. 5 minutes later it was all done...

Which method was the one really effective ? I don't know but it was fun to try them all at once :). I think changing the recovery.img isn't a bad thing and resizing the SD-card to 1 GB isn't a bad thing too... And it can be reverted anytime.

Thank you dexter for your hard work ! So far this Modfolio 1.4 is waaaaaay better anything else. I will never understand lazy companies wasting awesome hardware with cheap port of android OS...
