[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] leapingpossum:
First of all, I would like to thank the owners of this forum for providing such a great resource for simpletons like me to use. While in real life I'm an Air Force officer, when it comes to Android rooting/modifications/etc. I know close to nothing.

Before I begin, I would like to let you all know that I HAVE searched Google and this forum for answers to my problem. While I have found solutions that look promising, I am still not comfortable with them as many of these threads are from the September/October timeframe (i.e. they're OLD!)

Here is my situation:

I bought/rooted my phone back in September. I can't remember exactly how I did it, but it WAS through USB debugging mode and a command prompt on my PC. I believe I downloaded a series of Motorola drivers, etc. but my memory is hazy at best. I successfully rooted my phone (got the little Superuser Ninja listed under my applications) and apps that required root all worked. I never put any custom themes/images/etc. on my phone - I only used it for Wireless Tether.

Shortly after rooting I was having Star Wars envy and put the custom bootscreen and sounds on my phone from the R2D2 Droid 2.

Then.. everything was fine for several months. I accepted the OTA update from Verizon sometime in October? and I am running version 2.3.2.. with my phone still rooted.

Now, here's my problem:

My microphone AND external speaker have both stopped working on my phone two days ago and I need to return it to Verizon under its warranty. I understand that Verizon will NOT accept my phone if it is rooted and if tampering is evident (i.e. custom bootscreen).

My question is this:

What is the easiest/simplest way to unroot my phone and return it to the stock bootscreen and sound files? I don't want a Verizon technician looking at my phone and saying, "What is this?"

While rooting my phone has nothing to do with the hardware.. I know they'll look for ANY reason to deny my warranty claim. The fact that my external speaker and external microphone have died on this phone are HARDWARE issues that Motorola should be liable for.. and in its current state my phone is unusable for making calls (nobody can hear me) and I need a new one.

I hope someone in this forum can point me in the direction of the proper solution.

Again, I'm sorry for posting a question to a problem where there already may be an answer.. but I don't want to take any chances.

Thank you.

btw I CAN make calls.. but I have to use a bluetooth headset!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kwhite.tn:
Excellent question. If one can do, one ought to be able to undo.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JackpotClavin:
Boot into recovery (google the button combo, it should include the power button and some other button(s)) and then use the speaker buttons on the side to navigate to factory reset. This will return your phone to how it was when you first took it out of the box. Hope this helps
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SMS92:
Hi all,

After using Android via SD for months, I feel the time has come to make it my full-time OS.

I've chosen this ROM as my first to flash: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=908528 - Looks like a decent, stable Desire HD (Sense) port.

I've read all the usual n00b threads but due to paranoia and anxiety want to just confirm I'm about to do everything right before the big flash...

This rom uses ext3 data (like a fake 1gb internal memory) so I've partitioned my SD card as per instructions in the thread.

My main concern is flashing MAGLDR, i.e. "you need to flash MAGDLR 1.13 and the 400mb Recovery"

From what I gather, I download "-Download v1.3 400MB-" from this thread and run the update utility via USB like flashing any (WM) ROM. Is it best to Task29 before this and do it from the bootloader? Do I need to flash anything else before-hand? What's the difference between the magldr 1.13 and magldr 1.13 with 400mb recovery that I'm told to use in the ROM thread? Do I need to flash one before the other?

After this is on my phone it looks simple enough to flash the rom via the SD card inside MAGLDR's options and finish the job.

I've got the correct radio, etc. So all I'm really asking for is confirmation on how to get MAGLDR on my phone.

Sorry for the seemingly stupid question(s) but I have indeed read through the threads but just want to be sure!

Thanks! :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] onslaught86:
The 400MB recovery is not MAGLDR - it's Clockworkmod recovery with a specific 400MB flash layout.

Task 29 is optional, but recommended. Then boot to bootloader, flash your radio of choice, flash MAGLDR, flash Clockworkmod, and finally flash your chosen NAND build from within Clockworkmod, which is accessed from the MAGLDR menu. There's not too much that can go wrong if you read all the tutorials, and everything in the OP for your chosen build.

Best of luck!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
shouldnt matter, you are about to partition it anyway.

radio, if its below v 2.10.50 or so, and 2.08.hspl of course.

theyre the same thing, , , magldr will work with any recovery size, and depending on the rom size you choose, depends how big you want the partition to be. You have a big rom, so use 400, i have a light rom, so i use the 150. the magldr is the same, the only difference is two numbers in a text file that set the size of the partition during flashing.

heh then ignore my 'radio and hspl ' comment.

bootloader - usb - flash magldr.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Yeah. Basically run Task29 (format the NAND) if you want to. Then after that run the RomUpdateUtility to flash MAGLDR 1.13 via HSPL then once you're inside of MAGLDR (hold power button while powering on) and flash the 400mb Clockwork Recovery image via the .daf file found in your Clockwork download folder from USB Flasher in MAGLDR. That'll flash CWR, then reboot to MAGLDR again and chose 'AD Recovery'. Then you're in Clockwork and free to do whatever you want. ;)

[Captivate General] DarkDvr:
AT&T limiting speeds for pre-Release 6 devices (all but iPhone 4) - can we emulate?

Read this -> http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/23/atandts-brewing-hsupa-gate-the-inside-story/

Basically, AT&T is licking Apple's butt so clean, that Apple is having bowel problems.

Should/could we look into emulating the Release-6 handshake to enable faster speeds for our devices?

Important part from the article:
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Any i9000 ROM fixes it.
[Captivate General] lowlymarine:
This can already be bypassed on our Captivates by using an i9000 (or i9010/i9088) reoriented kernel + appropriate modem.
[Captivate General] speedy1979:
But the majority of those modems make bluetooth unusable (full of static). :( Bluetooth can be a necessity if you drive.
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
Bt works fine when modem parties with i9000 kernel
[Captivate General] rodimus_prime:
not true with the serendipity my bluetooth works perfectly and my speeds are 3.45Mb down and 1.54mb up which is just as fast as any iphone 4 testing right next to it
[Captivate General] _NULL_:
BT is working fine for me on paragon as well as gps.
[Captivate General] DarkDvr:
Ah, glad to see XDA once again stepped up to fix Sammy's problems.

Didn't know that i9000 kernels fix this.

Still kinda sad that AT&T would have the restriction there in the first place. For stock users' sake.

Sucks that you'd spend $500+ for a flagship device, and still feel like a second-grade customer that's not appreciated.
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
Amen, if the devs didn't make my phone work I would be selling it in ebay
[Captivate General] SSJ_Gomike:
Ok now I live in the middle of nowhere (Crystal River, FL - look it up) and i get easily 2.0-3.0mbps down and 1.0-1.5mbps up with an I9000 rom and kernel with perfect BT thanks to Mikey's Serendipity...

Now while i do think Sammy is complete BS with the whole way they handled all of their Galaxy S lineup phones, would i buy another? Hell yes! Why? I have had a few WinMo and Android phones so far and these phones without a doubt are the EASIEST to tweak, hack, modify...you name it...you can do it...you can easily go with a custom rom or build your own or even smash the two together ;)
[Captivate General] Dani897:
they absolutely are not blocking hsupa at the towers. it is simply not included at the phone, run a non captivate rom and modem.bin with a i9000/m/i9010 kernel and you will get 100% the speed that an iphone 4 gets in the same area, i know several iphone 4 users and have done back to back speed tests and there is no advantage to the iphone what so ever
[Captivate General] Dani897:
not true, the modem makes that happen on att or rogers roms, change the rom to a/an i9000/m, i9088, i9010, t959/d, and the kernel to i9000 or i9010 and you will not have issues
[Captivate General] emuneee:
I've tried to do a binary comparison with hope that its apparent whats different between a HSUPA modem.bin and our Captivate modem.bin...LOL...not a good tactic. I wish there was a way to reverse engineer the modem and make the necessary changes.
[Captivate General] sclRanger:
I don't even have 3g in my area yet, but saw this in the new user guide that they just posted today and thought I would post it here.

"• HSDPA 7.2 mbps high speed download capability"

It's listed under "features of your phone".
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
On my brother's Atrix - 2100 kbps Down, 100 kbps Up...

My Captivate with Supernova - 2950 Down, 1430 Up....

;)
[Captivate General] mircury:
I'm so glad I didn't pre-order the Atrix. I played with the Atrix in the store on Monday and it was laggy and underwhelming. My flashed captivate blew it out of the water. I thought the screen on my captivate was better also. I also did the speed test and it was pitiful and there is nothing they can do about it with it being locked down. My next phone is going to be the Galaxy 2.

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] caicek:
Application called "Button Remapper" works well on CyanogenMod on Xperia X8!

For example: use it to remap volume buttons and use them as "Call" and "End Call" button.

Now i can simply click once "volume up" button to launch call register and tap this button again to redial. I can also end call with button without using touchscreen. I think that provides better user experience.

[There are many apps to control volume in the AndroidMarket]

when i go in to SD card & phone storage, the Internal Phone Storage Available space says 0.00B. and i cant download anything, when i try to download and install, it says clear some memory, i dont have enough memory. how can i fix this??
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
Yeah!!!

Another person who failed to disable voodoo...

You can download an all in one dl09 rom or di01 rom. And use odin. Make sure you use pda and not phone.
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
If it's the voodoo problem, you can just download a voodoo-enabled kernel compatible with your modem and flash that, without having to wipe everything.
[Fascinate General] Sangwoo:
can i flash "all in one dl09 rom or di01 rom" even though i have EB01 ??

and can you give me a link to a " voodoo-enabled kernel compatible with your modem"
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AimanF:
Hey guys I am kind of freaking out here. I would consider myself to know a good amount about CM but I've never heard of an issue like this before.

I just got new MyTouch 4G's for my family during Tmobile's deal a couple weeks back. I promptly put CM7 on all of them. This week though all of a sudden both my mom's and sister's phones starting having problems showing either no signal or no sim card inserted. I'm not with them right now because I'm in college and I'm staying in my dorm so I can't actually get a hold of the phones until this weekend. I had them test the SIMs on another phone and they're still not working. I had them go in to the Tmobile store yesterday and get their SIMs replaced but all of a sudden today one of them was having the problem again. The SIM still doesn't work on the other phone.

I had my stepdad take the phone in again and the tmobile rep claimed it was because of CM.

I have no idea whats going on. I picked one up for myself as well and I've been going strong on the nightlies with only minor annoyances, nothing like this. My mom is getting pissed off because she's a doctor and shes on call this week and she needs her phone. Can anyone help me out here??
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talderon:
For people like Dr's and such, reliability is KEY, there should be NO reason to have a rooted phone.

That being said, I'd say go back to stock.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AimanF:
I'm not convinced that its due to the rom, and I have CM on there so that she can use VPN with her office network.

If I believed Stock would fix the problem though I would switch it back.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackSHELF:
First of all WTF did you put CM7 NB or RC on her phone? If she is a Doc chances are she is not tech buff and won't have time to upgrade the BS we flash addict due which is normal. So for her best thing would be Ice Glacier v1.1.6 and that even goes for your sister also. So flash IG v1.1.6 for both of them and for you as you seem to be aware of XDA which I am sure they don't even know what it is then you can only use CM7NB/RC. Far as signal goes stock are known to emulate signal that is not there, hence the iPhoney fiasco? and the AT&T network faking signal status? Where I am I did see signal fluctuate little coming from stock> IG> CM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daddyroot:
Did you make a nandroid back up before and after root ing?

Send them a tutorial and restore to a point where there were no issues. Them you can look your self we. you have time. Don't forget to do have them back up of data with titanium back up or my ball up or something simple before they restore, so they can drop their data back onto their phones when the restore is over.

My dad and I have similar issues, as he has no time to mess with his phone, but wants the functionality, so because he is out of town all week, I keep a nandroid back up of a point in time where all was stable and running good, have him keep refreshing his back ups of his data so as to not lose wine. the inevitable glitch occurs, at which point in time I right him a tutorial to fix I it, if is complicated, simply having him restore from the stable nandroid backup.

He this helps our gives you an idea.

G ood luck

Yeah I've done that already, they're back on the original root but for some reason their sims are still frying. I can't find any record of anything like this happening to anyone. I even asked Kmobs and he said he hadn't heard of it either
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el_smurfo:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AimanF:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bballcat03:

??? sim cards frying???

OK so first off let me say I LOVE THE MYTOUCH 4G..that being said I'm pissed I've had the phone for a month and then one day i get up and theres no signal bars just an x above the signal bar. I call tmobile customer service and after an hour they tell me i have a defective phone, so sorry, holla back, so I get the bright idea to root the phone so I can use another carrier...I achieve S=off and perm root, and have flashed a custom rom( Iced Glacier 1.1.6) I've backed up on nanodroid, and the phone operates excellent actually overclocked at 1.7 ghz but no service bars...then i pay for an unlock code which i cant even input because my phone wont recognize at&t sim card ARRRGH!!! the phone is rooted so my warranty is void and i cant send it back!!! plz any suggestions...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXy3kXx:
I had a SIM card I got with my hd2 put it in my mt4g and it did the same thing. T mobile Rep told me I need a new SIM card a special one for 4g so the made me a new one well 3 of them I got 3mt4g

SENT FROM MY THC DEVICE ;/
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcool47:
I had the same problem. As long as you unroot your phone and go back to stock rom, you should be fine with the warranty. Unless you told tmobile you were rooted. In that case, call htc and request for a repair and send in your unrooted phone.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimbernator:
Even if you root the phone, manufacturer defects are covered. the only part of the warranty that goes away from rooting is software and some internals that you can mess up by rooting (aka overclocking)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustk1ll20:
id say go back to stock completely and get the phones exchanged. my brothers STOCK MT4G fried 3 cards before T-mobile said screw it and sent him a new phone. he hasnt had a problem since.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJBunch1228:
Umm, I don't think so. Altering the software and security settings on your phone automatically voids any semblence of a warranty you had. You can unroot and get s=on again, then send in for warranty repair and be ok. But if your buttons stop responding or something, and you send it in and they see s=off and CM7 on there, rest assured they will be billing you the price of a new phone, even if that problem would have arisen regardless of you being rooted.

Hey guys. i was just wondering if i nandroid backup my current rom, flash a stock sprint rom (nfx stock), update my prl and radio, then flash back my nandroid backup will my kernel stay the same as the original or will it contian the kernel of the nfx stock sprint rom? Sorry if this is a noob question. I appreciate any help.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aqualls:
It will be the kernel you back up with nand.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportsplayer5959:
Ok. I read somewhere that Nandroid does not back up your kernel but i may be wrong...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aqualls:
No. It installs system and data just as it was when you backup. If you use firerat mod just remember to change partitions again.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMGRANDS:
I Believe... the Only thing that Changes the Kernel is the Rom itself, Unless of course you Manually Flash a Different one!
