[Atrix 4G General] Joelpatrick:
Thats what I am following. I'm referring to where it says "do not mount your device's Sd card?". What does that mean?
[Atrix 4G General] G-Man.:
It means dont enable usb file transfer - just plug in your usb cable with debugging enabled.... and follow the instructions on the page i linked you to....
[Atrix 4G General] CC Lemon:
Just leave the SD card out during the process.
[Atrix 4G General] Joelpatrick:
Thanks guys. I figured I could just leave it out, I just wanted to double check.
[Atrix 4G General] Battleship:
Step 5, "Do NOT mount your device’s SD card" refers to internal storage, not to an external microSD card (what you would use to expand the phone's memory). So, when you plug in your Atrix, you'll have the option to mount it as USB storage. Don't do that and you'll be fine.
[Atrix 4G General] Joelpatrick:
Oh ok. Its something that will be an option on the screen when I plug it in. I think I got it now.
[Atrix 4G General] Battleship:
Yes. You'll see it when you drop down the notification bar. Well, I assume it's there: that's where it is on the Captivate. The option will show up after you connect the Atrix to your PC via the USB cable.
[Atrix 4G General] G-Man.:
Exactly what i was getting at - only more detailed haha
[Atrix 4G General] hotleadsingerguy:
In Android after you plug in your device it'll ask (in the notification bar) if you want to Mount SD card via USB. Just don't poke that option.
[Atrix 4G General] Battleship:
If you're still uncertain, watch this. It's part of getaphixx's vid on how to root the Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] Joelpatrick:
Wow. Thanks! I'm awaiting my delivery now!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD2313:
Hello, I am currently rooting my nexus s using Jonathon Grigg's guide on complete android.

I am using the method that does not wipe everything. I am not inside clockwork mod and i cannot select "install zip from sd card". I can go up and down in the menu with the volume keys but when u press power it just removes the menu and only the clockwork logo stays. I press the power button again and im back in the menu with the logo in the background (like it should be according to the screenshots in the guide). So I cant selet anything in the clockwork mod menu.

Any help would be appreciated as i am completely stuck and cant even turn the phone (dont want to resort to taking out the battery).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
There should be no issue pulling the battery.

What command/method did you use to get into Clockwork? You say you're not in it, but then you say you have menus and a clockwork logo. What color text is on your screen when you boot into recovery?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD2313:
Its is more solved. I seemed to have a corrupted clock work image as when I downloaded it from the second mirror it worked perfectly. Thanks for anyone that responded
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegame2388:
So I have MIUI 2.11.19 and I've noticed a few things

1) You can't set your "LOCK OUT AFTER" setting. Meaning, whenever I press the power button after I text one real quick, I have to REENTER my PIN to access the reply my friend sends. Yeah, sure, if I let the screen on, it'll eventually do that after 2 minutes which is what I set it to but I don't want it to lock out AFTER EVERY TIME I press the power button.

2) How do I change the frequency of the Facebook sync via "Accounts and Settings"? It's not there.

Looking for Instructions on going from Froyo 2.2 to Eclair 2.1 on VM Intercept

I purchased this VM Intercept thats on Froyo 2.2 - its used. When i push ##VIRGIN# to try to register my # it doesnt work. I think since its a SPRINT ROM it doesnt have that built in.

Can anyone help me please - ive been trying to research but I cant figure it out.

Ive found the following files that might help me:

"Zombie mode" pseudo-brick: Any way to beat this than waiting for battery to die

So once when I tried NF on eMMC, something went wrong and my device got stuck in what I thought was total bricking. It couldn't be turned on, it couldn't be turned off, it just seemed to be dead. Didn't respond to anything including adb.

So I took it to B&N and feigned ignorance, and he believed me because he couldn't make it work either. Then he plugged it back in, and suddenly it indicated that it was charging on the screen.

I think what happened is that it got stuck in some mode where its screen is off, the device is active (probably sleeping), but it won't respond to the keys. This is what ALSO happened to me with my new NC after flashing CM7.

Has anyone else seen this happen with their device? Do I just have to wait for the battery to die and then plug it in with a CWM SD card in the slot? Is there no other way? GOD I wish this thing had an actual "cut the power" or "reset" switch :(
[Nook Color General] Decad3nce:
Sounds like SOD(Sleep of Death).

You'll have to hold power until you think it's off(just hold it for like 30 seconds), then reboot it by holding power again.
[Nook Color General] starkruzr:
You, sir, are a genius. :) Thanks.
[Nook Color General] loosid:
I just had this happen yesterday. I was trying to flash the 1100MHz kernel for CM7, got an "Installation Aborted" message, tried rebooting, and nada. No combination of holding or pressing any buttons for any length of time has fixed it. I plugged it in overnight to make sure that it was charged, but that didn't fix anything. I can only boot into CWM via microSD, and that's only after holding down both VOL, N button, and Power, then rapidly tapping Power until the screen flashes.

I just called B&N and they're shipping a new one out. No idea what's up...

I've been downloading many different Beautiful Widget apk's and none of them seem to work customizing the clock skin wise. Know where I can find the apk file where it works good? Is there anyone else having the same problem?
[Android Software Development] sageDieu:
I am not sure but it sounds like you are talking about piracy, in which case good luck with that. We do not condone piracy here at XDA.
[Android Software Development] henreeg:
If your copy is pirated, it won't work. The new app checks for the license.
[Android Software Development] transitoyspace:
piracy is bad. no allowed

beautiful widgets changed their system to not allow you to download skins for clock or weather if no license is found.

thats why pirates NOW just download clock and weather SKIN PACKS.

but again piracy is bad support them.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tiptoekirk:
Is it possible to use the rear facing camera for video calling with Fring or Skype on this phone? I had thought it came with a front facing camera as well but I was mistaken. My girlfriend wants the iPhone but needs video chat to keep in touch with me and Im trying to steer her away from the iPhone... Input appreciated, thank you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RBDH:
I am currently using Tango to do video chat with the Inspire. It works with the rear camera. Sound isn't very good though on 3g. My wife says that the video from my end is fine on her Cappy. And Tango is free.
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
Basically, make sure you've got a microSD card with about 650mb (or more if you have a lot of apps installed, check via Settings -> SD Card menu) free on it for the ext4 conversion before you even start.

Download the ext4 version of the kernel from;

http://android.modaco.com/content/samsung-galaxy-tab-tab-modaco-com/330378/26-jan-r3-modaco-custom-kernel-for-the-samsung-galaxy-tab/

(You _might_ need an account on the site first, not sure)

Install the Samsung Kies software so you've got the USB drivers installed (or install just the drivers from:

http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201010/20101026044755031/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.3.350.0.exe

Turn your tab off, turn it back on holding the DOWN volume button until you get the big yellow triangle.

Plug it into your PC and run Odin. Make sure that one of the leftmost boxes lights up yellow and says "COM" in it (along with a number). If not, then it hasn't picked up the tab, try rebooting the PC and/or trying another USB port.

Click the big "PDA" button and select the "p1000-mck-r3-ext4-cwm.tar" file that you downloaded (do NOT extract the archive!)

Then press the "Start" button and cross your fingers.

If the tab seems to hang, give it 5 minutes before you hold the power button down and then turn it back on again. It should sit there for several minutes and perform the conversion.

Once you're done and up & running, you can save the full firmware/ROM to the MicroSD card, boot into recovery by turning the tab on hold the UP volume button, then using the "Select ZIP from sdcard" option to flash the firmware. This will WIPE all custom applications and settings you have installed! I'd recommend doing a "wipe data/cache" before flashing this just in case though.

The full MCR firmware is available from:

http://android.modaco.com/content/samsung-galaxy-tab-tab-modaco-com/331479/04-feb-r1-modaco-custom-rom-for-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-with-online-kitchen/

There are also alternative firmware's (e.g. Overcome, Rotohammer) on this forum - they're all currently based on the same official JMI firmware with various tweaks. The MCR kernel seems to be the easiest way to start.

Full credit goes to Paul @ MoDaCo for releasing the kernel in the first place.

I typed most of this out for someone, figured I'd post it here as well in case it's useful to someone.

WARNING: Check the integrity of anything download from the MoDaCo server(s) before flashing as their server(s) frequently seem to have issues completing downloads.
[Galaxy Tab General] cornellalum:
Make sure you have sufficient space. In my case I needed more than 500MB. My system was corrupted because it tried to backup the existing system onto the microSD and I only had 639MB free, which was insufficient for me. Then when my system rebooted, I kept on getting force closes from Nook and Titanium Backup and some other apps.
[Galaxy Tab General] myzer0:
nice work!
[Galaxy Tab General] jasperlaguerta:
Hi knightnz,

Sorry for this noob question.

Does this means I can do it on my stock rom without installing anything or customizing my tab?

Is clockworkmod recovery required to execute this conversion?

Thanks.

Jasper
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
You have to flash a new kernel, which will also flash ClockworkMod Recovery onto your device, so the answer to your first question is no, you can't do this without customising your Tab (new kernel, new recovery!), and your second question, yes you need ClockworkMod! :)

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
Yup, on the Galaxy Tab the recovery gets packaged in with the kernel installation, so if you flash a zImage, you're probably replacing the recovery as well. (I'm sure it could be omitted, but so far it seems this hasn't been the case).

At the moment all SGT recovery's are based on ClockWorkMod (this includes the MCR kernel version).

As for "stock rom", well I'd class a complete filesystem conversion as definite customising. If you _just_ replace the kernel and do the ext4 conversion though and don't worry about replacing the main firmware, then you'll retain your existing system exactly as it was, it'll be snappier though, and you'll then have access to the CWM recovery should you ever need it.
[Galaxy Tab General] rob_h:
I had difficulties flashing this as the Modaco server kept on stopping the download when incomplete. I had an hour of scratching my head when I saw that the download was 4 1/2 Mb when it should be 6.66.

It took me about 6 tries to get the full file and was sweating when I saw the following screen:

Keep an eye out for this chaps...
[Galaxy Tab General] asenduk:
is there a way of going back to RFS from EXT4?

(just in case)
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
Yes, I already did that once. Go into the development section and find the Roto JME rom, get the full rom, the p1_hidden.pit, and a modem of your choice, and follow Roto's instructions to the letter, and you will have rfs, and your CWM3 will be gone.
[Galaxy Tab General] drdax:
I'm used to the speed increase now. Perf drop if i went back.

Ext4 is stable enough
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
Yeah, their "load balancing" server doesn't seem to have very good balance by the look of it, downloads fall over frequently.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kneedraggin101:
So im following a way to put a rom onto my phone, let me post the steps and go from there

1. The first step is to download Modaco’s Custom ROM from here and save it on your desktop. done

2. Once done, download ROM Manager from Market on your phone. done

3. Once the ROM Manager is installed, launch app and flash ClockworkMod Recovery. done

4. Now after flashing ClockworkMod Recovery, connect your phone to the computer. done

5. Once your phone is connected, mount SD card and copy the earlier downloaded ROM file to SD card root. done

now this is where im having an issue.... i know where it says to reboot into recovery, but when i do this, i get a black screen with a pic of my phone and a red triangle with an exclamation mark on it.... what am i doing wrong?

6. After this launch ROM Manager again and tap on Reboot into Recovery.

7. Once you are in recovery, scroll down to Apply Zip from SD card and select.

8. Now wait for the installation to finish. The ROM size is 257 MB, so you can well imagine the time it will consume.

9. Once the installation is finished, reboot your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
This means ClockworkMod recovery Did not stick, sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get it to stick, so go back into Rom Manager and Press "Flash ClockworkMod recovery" Again, then reboot into recovery, if you still see the black screen with the trangle and ! (this is stock recovery) , just pull the battery and repeat the steps of Flashing CWM recovery again untill it sticks, It took mine three times before it would stick. Also you must make sure you have S-off and root.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kneedraggin101:
well from all the reading i did, using the visionary+ would be enough of a root... granted my s-off isnt there, its still saying s-on.... and on another post made, i tried to follow the instructions, but i cant seem to change this...

suggestions on how?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
The other day I gave you a link to a thread on how to properly get S-off and root on your phone, you choose not to use that link, instead you used Visionary, so I am going to assume that you do not have ABD set up on your home computer, so now here is another link to a new thread on how to get temp-root with Visionary, which is what you have now, then perm-root S-off with Gfree, follow the instructions in this new link from start to finish and you should have S-off when its all done. HERE IS THE LINK. I suggest you do a lot more reading before proceeding any further because it seems to me you really don't understand what you are doing and Mod'ing your phone and making a mistake can have the potential to BRICK your phone. Having root and S-off are two different things and you need S-off in order to flash custom Roms and recovery.

I still recommend getting S-off and root using the method HERE, its the safest way to root and get S-off, this is the link I gave you the other day to the XDA Wiki.

Did you make sure to unzip the root_files.zip before placing all the files on the root of your sd card, do not just place the root_files.zip on your sd card it must be unzipped first.

Also make sure you put a space between perm_root and /data

I put a red * where the space needs to be.

You are in a boot loop, did you wipe data prior to flashing the new ROM? The rom you downloaded might be a corupt download, try to redownload it again and flash it again. Also, just curious why MODACO rom there are so many other better choices available, IMHO.

also what is a good solid sense rom, that i dont have to delete everything off my phone first, and ill gladly try that out... remember im new to this... so all the info you give me now is totally uncharted areas,

I would use Virtuous I think its the best sense rom out, you should always do a full data wipe when changing roms, when updating the same rom its not really needed, as far as getting it onto your sd card, I would just pull it out of the phone and put it into a card reader on my computer and then install the new files that way then place it back into your phone .

and how do i back up whats on my phone now, i dont want to loose anything thats on there.....and since im stuck in this boot loop, im stuck for a way to back it up
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Ok to make a back up from where you are stuck at, pull the battery then put it back in hold volume down then press power, this boots it into bootloader, use the volume button and scroll down to recovery and select it by pressing the power button, it should boot into CWM recovery, then press backup and restore, then select backup and it should back up your current rom, to do this in the future just use rom manager to make your back ups, here's the link to Virtuous http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=837042

but wouldnt that copy my current rom thats stuck in a boot loop?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Sorry you are right , so it looks like there would be nothing for you to back up. Prior to flashing MODACO you should have made a copy of your stock rom w/root but its to late for that now, so theres nothing to do now but flash a new rom.

Remember when you flash a new rom it could take a few minutes to boot the first time so give it a few minutes.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
Making the nandroid backup wouldn't hurt though. If there is stuff you really need, you can transfer the backup to a computer and then extract the contents of the data and system images with an unyaffs tool. Then you can restore at least some things manually once you have your new ROM up and running (since you'll then have the APKs and their respective data directories).

Kind of a pain and may not work depending on what you want, but if there is stuff you really need, better to at least have the opportunity to recover than not.
