[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmrenner:
Hey there peeps,

I'm sorta new to the fascinate scene and coming from the OG Droid I'm really wondering why do we need to upgrade our modems with ODIN. On the Droid I never had to do anything outside of cwr and I flashed all sorts of radio upgrades and roms. So did the Droid not need modem upgrades? or is this just a difference in the size of the dev force?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevin Gossett:
That's the way it works. You flash the radio with Odin, and everything else can be flashed with CWM
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSonicEmerald:
Yeah, as a Droid and Eris user, I had some confusion about that at first. It's one of those things that Samsung messed up on the GalaxyS devices along with RFS and MediaScanning and other software differences from Vanilla, Sense, or Blur. The Modem is the same as a radio zip, except you need to flash it through Odin.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivorycruncher:
Call me crazy, but I'm glad we have a tool like Odin, because even if the OS gets totally hosed, you can always restore with Odin. Unless you flash incorrectly with it, it's nearly impossible to brick these phones. I consider it a bonus, not a burden.

Posted from my EB01 SuperClean Fascinate with Voodoo
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
The reason that Odin is required is because we don't know how to flash anything besides modem deltas through recovery, and all we have is full modem.bin files, not delta files.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoogleAndroid:
Agreed with this. It's nice to be able to completely revert to stock when you really screw your phone up or are having big problems. Wiping in CWM never actually wiped for me, so I would need to Odin. Then you Odin CWM and install a ROM, and you're rooted and running a ROM again.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lasportsfan:
I love the Odin safety net.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dueling Chainsaws:
I agree, ODIN's safety net has saved my ass on more than a few occasions.

I wonder why no one has gotten their hands on the "Phone" data? Has it never changed since release, or does it have some sort of protection?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nFiniti:
Odin Rocks! You don't need it just for the radio. You can flash roms via odin or the more advanced program (I forgot its name right now because I'm having a brain fart trying to Partition my SD) but it will let you flash only specific area's of a rom image like radio, boot, data, and all other aspects.

I'd rather flash Via ODIN in Downloading Mode. But if you want to use CWM to make backups and what not, use CWM. Odin is only a must have as well as a JIG for fixing those "oops" moments. Which I've done a lot of lately trying to find the right rom for me.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckhoward:
Agree!! Odin has saved my butt many times...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckhoward:
I dont know y odin has a "phone" button...if it bricks ur phone..then get rid of it..
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Jackal:
Because odin can be used to flash phones?

You know like phones before iphone made it hip to have a pda
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmrenner:
Shouldn't it be fairly easy to just check file deltas (like before and after)? and then build an update.zip around it?
[Atrix 4G General] Bon1380:
I'm unable to play media from my PC on my Atrix using DLNA. I get a message that reads " Sorry, internal error happened. The media file cannot be streaming played." Any ideas?
[Atrix 4G General] aglowlight:
I'm able to stream and copy mp4s to my device no problem from a NAS. Most likely is a file compatibility issue. I couldn't play mpeg2s, but xvids played fine. Protected content wouldn't play either but that's to be expected.
[Atrix 4G General] Bon1380:
My Xvids won't play.
[Atrix 4G General] Inspiredwire:
I was having problems accessing PlayOn through DLNA.

UPDATE: Using the PlayOn Android apps works.
[Atrix 4G General] aglowlight:
Sorry, the file i was looking at had Xvid in it. It was actually an avi.
[Atrix 4G General] SS2006:
same problem here

if i copy the file to the phone using dlna itll play

but choosing to play directly itll give the error above
[Atrix 4G General] naturefreak85:
I can't use the DLNA with my Logitech Revue and with my PS3 I can only stream MP4 files. AVI's which play on my device can't be sent over DLNA yet if those files are on my PS3 they can be played.
[Atrix 4G General] dingleberry1:
If you can spare the CPU cycles, transcoding video through TVersity works great. So far I've had best results transcoding to WMV9. I haven't found anything it can't handle yet, and my video archive is a mishmash of containers and codecs.

I can stream an x264 mkv 1080p source to the Atrix as qhd wmv9 and it looks fantastic.

Does require a lot of CPU on the box running TVersity, so not a necessarily great solution for those currently using a nas or other embedded device for a DLNA server.
[Atrix 4G General] motoatrix:
anyone able to get DLNA to work? I'm trying to stream some moves in .avi from my computer to my atrix by using DLNA, i can hear but no pictures. Does anybody know why?
[Atrix 4G General] dingleberry1:
What video codec is in your avi's? I was able to play most xvid avi's with other DLNA streamers like Fuppes before I switched to transcoding everything through TVersity.
[Atrix 4G General] shirishraj:
Q: How did you get DLNA to play MKVs over TVersity streaming? Everytime i try to do that it says the media file can not be played. Before I had it Configured for my Xbox 360 so while the video of mkvs wouldn't show up, audio was crystal clear, now it only plays AVIs not MKVs not even audio always gives the media file cannot be played error. Can you post all your setting for tversity? I'd Appreciate that very much!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Aaron636r:
Is anyone able to download this app onto the XOOM? Get error for few days now. Cant even get to purchasing page.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] cellfreak:
I'm using it on my Galaxy Tab and Xoom.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Aaron636r:
I gave up on it. Wont let me download/order. Get an error.
[Xoom General] joeski27:
So I just got to one of the final steps in rooting my xoom, but for some reason, when I enter the "push su /system/bin/" command, I get a "push: not found" response. I'm completely stuck at this step...anyone have any ideas on this one??
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
Was adb remount succesful before you tried?
[Xoom General] FuzeAction:
I ran in to this. Make sure your Xoom is not on the lock screen. Should be good to go.
[Xoom General] joeski27:
Yes, adb remount was in fact successful.

Edit - now I'm getting "cannot stat 'su': No such file or directory"
[Xoom General] joeski27:
just to be clear, is it supposed to be:

adb push su /system/bin/

or

adb shell push su /system/bin/

???
[Xoom General] bcgaynor82:
syntax is "adb push ..."
[Xoom General] joeski27:
thats what I thought, and when I do this I get the "cannot stat 'su': No such file or directory" error message.

I have no idea what's going on here. Its almost as if I dont have the xoomroot files (including su) in the correct place, but they are there in the SDK tools folder as they are supposed to be. UGH!?!!?
[Xoom General] nindoja:
Make sure that one of the following is true:

the files you want to push are in the same folder as adb

adb is in your path and you are in the directory that the files are

Also make sure you are running this from your computer and not the Xoom, although it sounds like you are bumping into one of the two scenarios above.
[Xoom General] joeski27:
yes they are in the same folder as adb, and I'm in the adb directory while in terminal. still getting the same error message. I'm so lost on this one.
[Xoom General] joeski27:
Is there any chance that the unlock didn't take? Though I can't see how it didn't - I went through the entire procedure, answered all the prompts during fastboot, and it did erase/reset the tablet afterwards, so I'm guessing that isn't it.
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
Any chance you can screenshot your sdk tools folder
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
They're supposed to be in the 'platform-tools' folder, not tools. The files go in the same folder as adb so it knows where they are.
[Xoom General] joeski27:
Screenshot of my sdk tools folder:

EDIT: heres the link:

[Xoom General] joeski27:
I know, but I had already moved adb into the tools folder earlier on. So they are in the same folder.
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
send a screenshot of everything in your command prompt if u can please
[Xoom General] joeski27:
here's the screenshot of my terminal:

[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
Do you have the 3.0 sdk installed

Wait I see the problem after you remounted you have to direct it back into your tools foledr before doing the adb push command
[Xoom General] joeski27:
all I know is that i have the latest sdk installed, but are you referring to something additional to that? such as "SDK Platform Android 3.0, API 11, revision 1" ?
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
After u did adb remount it took you back to your main folder make sure you direct it back to your tools folder then run the adb push command and problem will be solved
[Xoom General] joeski27:
So I just did the remount again (successfully), and now instead of just entering "adb push ...", I would need to do what?

EDIT - just tried this, and got this result:

Joseph-Olesweskis-iMac:~ olesweski$ /Users/olesweski/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools adb push su /system/bin/

-bash: /Users/olesweski/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools: is a directory
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
make sure you are back in the tools directory then run the adb push step
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
do you have that revision 1 installed if not make sure you do
[Xoom General] joeski27:
I think I did that (see the previous post)
[Xoom General] joeski27:
I'll get that right now...
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
after that it should work
[Xoom General] joeski27:
Crap, still no dice:

Joseph-Olesweskis-iMac:~ olesweski$ /Users/olesweski/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools/adb remount

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

remount succeeded

Joseph-Olesweskis-iMac:~ olesweski$ /Users/olesweski/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools adb push su /system/bin/

-bash: /Users/olesweski/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools: is a directory

Joseph-Olesweskis-iMac:~ olesweski$ /Users/olesweski/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools/adb push su /system/bin/

cannot stat 'su': No such file or directory

Joseph-Olesweskis-iMac:~ olesweski$

did I miss something here?
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
You're su isn't in the folder you're running the command from. Try this:

cd /Users/olesweski/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools/

adb push su /system/bin/
[Xoom General] joeski27:
Hey I think it went - it gave me this:

1029 KB/s (26336 bytes in 0.024s)
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
yea smooth sailing from there
[Xoom General] joeski27:
ok but hang on, we'll see...

I'm thinking I did something wrong yet again:

Joseph-Olesweskis-iMac:tools olesweski$ adb shell ln –s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

link failed No such file or directory

Joseph-Olesweskis-iMac:tools olesweski$

not directed at the correct location again??
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
Alternatively you could have put the files in the folder you were running the commands from, but then you'd be typing all that for every command, too much work.
[Xoom General] joeski27:
nope I think I got it!

last few commands, let me know what you think...

Joseph-Olesweskis-iMac:tools olesweski$ adb shell

# ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

# exit

Joseph-Olesweskis-iMac:tools olesweski$ cd /Users/olesweski/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools/

Joseph-Olesweskis-iMac:tools olesweski$ adb push Superuser.apk /system/app

1291 KB/s (196521 bytes in 0.148s)

Joseph-Olesweskis-iMac:tools olesweski$

Whats the best way to test if everything worked?
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
type

adb shell

su

and if you see a # it went through

or see if the superuser app is now installed on your xoom
[Xoom General] joeski27:
I don't seem to see the app...

Check that, Yes I do!!
[Xoom General] joeski27:
ROOTED! Dude thanks so much for your help, you rock!!!:D
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
much more thanks to Elysian893 for explaining what i was trying to say in a better way
[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
i removed all the adb shell parts and just did this and was successful, it have me errors on how mine is setup, but maybe i did my SDK wrong back in the day:

adb push su /system/bin/

if i am going to run a shell command i input adb shell

when i get the "#" prompt then i input the other commands
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] eatkabab:
So I just came across this nifty little app that apparently has on demand episodes of a very very large volume of shows. Little ad box at the bottom of the screen, but acceptable for just TV shows here and there.

WiFi recommended. Maybe if we had real 4G it wouldn't be necessary...

Oh how nice it would be to have HDMI mirroring.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] acPIZZA:

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] tassadar898:
anyone else getting audio and video desync
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] eatkabab:
Yeah, some videos aren't perfectly synced or perfectly smooth (particularly jersey shore), but I wouldn't be watching my favorite shows on this anyways. Maybe just willy nilly at the gym...

Wow did I miss jersey shore :-D those retards :rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] apolloms:

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] eatkabab:
The app still works great though...

Did a search for the app and came up with this

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] unity311mu:
It appears I was able to pick this up in the small window that it was on the market...I'm currently trying to find a way to edit the default resolution of the app, as right now it is not taking advantage of the Atrix's increased resolution and it's not filling the bottom of the screen, anyone had any luck with this yet?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] eatkabab:
If you could get rid of the ad too I'd be very appreciative :p
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] unity311mu:
Actually DG's Adeo "ROM" took care of this for me :D , it also de-odexes your system and adds a few power options...check it out!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=971638
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] eatkabab:
I'm more than happy to deodex my system, but theres no way to REodex just yet. It can potentially lead to update problems. I see no real benefit to deodexing. I don't really care for the reboot (although would be very nice), and ad's are usually outta the way.

The ad in this app doesn't interfere with watching the show, but it would if it was full screen...
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Jnewell05:
Well after flashing the stock sbf and re rooting and using the market fix I can't find this app anymore... Wish I had saved it with titanium backup.. I know they just came out with the hd version that utilized way more of the screen if anyone has this app could you post it here? Maybe att is blocking this app? Might have to wait till I get to a wifi, switch air plane mode on, and see if it shows up. I can find the developer but not the tv shows free or tv shows free hd app... Any way to keep att from restricting what apps show on the market?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] mpalatsi:
I second that, if anyone can post the APK in this thread that would be super helpful! :)

I wouldn post the .apk "officially" on the xda Servers because the app sounds fishy ^^

Agreed and I'm curious if Hulu will "adjust" things to prevent this or if they can't? Oh well use it till you lose it right? haha
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] TheBr0ken:
Lose it as in probably today when flash 10.2 drops. might be able to still go in and mod libflashplayer.so

Does anybody have the stock notepad apk or way to retrieve old notes before the wipe? (i know i'm dumb, should have backed up everything first... those notes just skipped my mind)
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
there is not really any stock notepad with android

all the notepads i've seen are customized or included differently for each phone

i personally prefer Note Everything https://market.android.com/details?id=de.softxperience.android.noteeverything&feature=search_result

it's free and it as a lot of excellent add-ons and Sync options

no notepad can match it

it has a nice quick Widget as well
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] potatoo:
I'm using a third party one called Color Note from the market now, it's not bad. I guess the notepad I'm referring to isn't in the other ROMs.. I was referring to the notepad that came with my WindMobile ROM from canada.

Would be nice to get those notes back, if not, it's not the end of the world :)

Thanks for the reply anyways!
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] :
But there is a STOCK notepad on 2.1 on the XT720, so it doesn't matter if it's customized or not, Motorola ships a notepad-program with XT720 2.1 so there is "stock". Now if only someone had the apk...

Hey folk,

My buddy & I both have EVO 4G's, I rooted mine yesterday, downloaded rom manager did a backup and than downloaded a rom and everything went smooth no problems.

Now today I rooted by friends phone the same way I did mine, when It came to doing a backup or downloading a rom, every time it goes to reboot after the rom is downloaded or you do a backup, it will reboot and than all you see is the white screen and it showing the evo 4G logo.

I don't know what I did wrong? the root went successful and everything else is fine.

Any help folks thanks.

How long is it staying on the splash screen? Sometimes it can take a few minutes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Is it stuck on the splash screen or can you get it up & running?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2005blkgto:
It was stuck on the splash screen for about 15 min or so than the battery died.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2005blkgto:
It stays stuck on the flash screen it won't move, last it was running for 15 min on the splash screen and than the battery died, so I plugged it in to the charger and powered it up and it was still the stock rom but still was rooted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
First thing: don't try to flash anything with a battery lower than 35%. It might be okay at levels lower than 35%, but it's better to be safe. You don't want to be flashing something after a wipe & the phone shut off.

Second: for some reason after rooting my phone, it takes a lot longer to reboot than it used to. This isn't something that always happens but it does some times. The first couple times it would even get stuck on the splash screen & I'd eventually pull the battery. I found that after I switched to amon ra recovery it stopped happening. You could try switching recoveries, but if you do rom manager won't function anymore & you'll have to do everything manually. It's not difficult.

Try again, this time with a full battery, and see what happens. Make sure cwm says that the flash was successful. If it takes a really long time to reboot, pull the battery & power it on normally. Sometimes it takes a while after wiping/flashing because it has to rebuild cache and/or load the rom for the first time, but it shouldn't take 15 minutes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Every said was correct. But I'd like to add, that its possible that it didn't wipe fully. The screen should never hang on the splash for 15 minutes...five is normal, and sometimes happens after flashing. But like plainjane said, try another wipe. Also, flashing under 35%, it'll flash, but if your phone dies midway, expect to have a fancy paper weight.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2005blkgto:
Thanks Guys I will give it another try, but I would also like to men-son nothing gets flashed, the phone reboots - black screen than white screen and thats all.

When I did the same thing to my EVO the white screen stayed for about 40 secs and than started flashing.

I will try to remove rom manager and reinstall it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2005blkgto:
So I am still having trouble with my friends EVO, it stays on the splash screen and won't change it lasted for an hour and than I pulled the battery.

Nothing happen to phone.

When I try to unrevoke it, it asks me if my version is new and reboots.

Even when I try to go to clockwork it gets stuck on the splash screen.

What am I doing wrong?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2005blkgto:
does anyone not have an answer for this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
I'm not sure this will help you, but if it were me, I would download unrevoked's s-on zip and flash that. Then get the PC36IMG.zip for the Stock unrooted 3.70 OTA and install that so you will be completely back to stock and unrooted.

Then try to root again. Also, try Amon Ra since clockwork was giving you trouble.
