[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dseda86:
I use amon RA recovery and when I was stuck in a boot loop I would wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, as well as wipe the system. That did the trick for me. Best of luck!

PS. Not sure of you can wipe system via clockwork mod, I used it briefly before I got aggravated and flashed a better recovery img IMO.

hTC Evo CM7-n17
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You can do a full wipe in clockwork:

factory/data reset, and wipe cache from the main screen, then navigate to advanced and then wipe dalvik cache.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deaconzero:
The reason I've been using clockwork is because I like using Rom Manager, but I'm not against Amon if it's the answer. Though, I've now tried it, and it doesn't seem to be.

I've been doing the wipes you're suggesting since the beginning. Those aren't doing it. I have a few ideas that I didn't try last night. Gave up after about hour 7 of trying different things.

My next experiment is to switch kernels. But I'm also thinking there could be a problem w/ my Titanium backup. I don't remember specifically, because I didn't notice it at first, but it does seem to only have a problem after I do a restore. Any thoughts on that one??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well amon_ra isn't the answer. I've used clockwork and had ZERO problems, and still use it. But if you think titanium is your issue, go into it, and click problems, and it'll download the busybox and correct itself. And if you think the kernel may be the problem, it could be, so go for it. Just make sure to use an aosp kernel on an aosp rom, and the same for sense; don't mix them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deaconzero:
Thanks for the advice. Any suggestions on which kernel I could try? On MIUI my kernel is brandon-ThinkPad-T510 #5.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well I would try the a froyo savaged zen kernel. They all play nice from what I hear.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deaconzero:
No fix yet even after switching kernels. I found this link when I was looking up more info http://www.shahz.net/android/what-is-dalvik-cache.html and this section interested me.

"This dalvik cache can grow immensely huge as more applications are installed on your phone. It is safe to wipe dalvik-cache. It will be rebuilt again when the phone boots. This also explains why your phone takes ages to start up for the first time. As for my Nexus One, having about 145 applications installed, it takes about 13 minutes to build the cache"

Could this be what's going on? Is the dalvik cache being rebuilt and I'm not actually getting a bootloop? Do I need to let the blue arrow circle around the skating android for 15 minutes?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deaconzero:
Still not working. Tried the kernel switch and the above idea of letting the boot screen run for over 20 minutes. Nothing.

Anyone w/ any thoughts?? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Are you flashing the new kernel the same time you flash the rom. What you should do is wipe everything, factory/data, cahe, dalvik cache, then flash the rom. Give it a couple of minutes to boot up. After it eventually boots up, back it up, then flash the new kernel, just wipe the cache and dalvik before you do so.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigJohn89:
Restoring system data through Titanium Backup is almost a certain recipe for disaster - especially when switching between different ROMs. Use TB only to restore user apps, and the data associated with only those apps.

The other thing you may want to try is to repartition/format your SD card. Make sure you back it up to your computer first, then use whatever recovery (I know Amon Ra will do it, think CWM will too) to partition and format the SD card. This helped me out when I was getting bootloops...

Good luck!

Here is where you need to look.

Here you go, but like I said, I dont know if its right yet and I dont know which is which yet, but I think the first one is the boot and the second is the recovery:

/dev/block/mmcblk3p1

And

/dev/block/mmcblk3p2

If you wanna go at it, you will need linux to decompile and recompile the image files, but you can dump them through the terminal on the device.
[Dell Streak 7] KenpoAP:
Thanks bro! You found the files, your the man! This is getting good!

@binarybishop what files do you have already etracted because i just realized i cant do anything with my device being stuck dell is sending one next week to replace this one
[Dell Streak 7] jiwengang:
Guys,

I am just asking a question,

I got this from

/catche/recovery

"Starting recovery on Sat Jan 10 13:12:08 2009

framebuffer: fd 4 (800 x 480)

Removing OOB files

I:Mount SDCARD mmcblk3p14

Formatting DATA:...

I:Done with formating of device

Formatting CACHE:...

I:Done with formating of device

“

Does this mean that the recovery mount point is actually mmcblk3p14?

I just want to have some gurus to confirm this information is total irrelavant, or it actually means the devs at dell used to test the recovery this way.

Thanks,

I tried to copy it into sdcard, it is larger than 4.2gb, and cat does not work somehow,

adb shell cat /dev/block/mmcblk3p14 > /sdcard/sdcard2/p14.img

gives me an error message saying "the spedified path is not found..."

thanks,
[Dell Streak 7] binarybishop:
I have all 17 mounts dumped, but,

/dev/block/mmcblk3p1 and /dev/block/mmcblk3p2 are the boot and recovery mounts, just cant guarantee which of them are which.
[Dell Streak 7] binarybishop:
Its not recovery. What I think it is is just a mount backup of EVERYTHING on the streak. I was able ti dump the image, but I am about 89% sure that the p1 and p2 are the boot and recovery. But the boot is actually what I need to get the CWM recovery image built. I am working on building the android tree but its just taking a long time to dowbload on my ****ty tehtered throttled internet connection. I just hope I dont use the wrong image file or I will be ****ed. Lol

Can you try and do it from starbucks! Lmfao! For real, lmfao! **** that throttled ****! Ha!

[Dell Streak 7] binarybishop:
Ok. In case you guys aren't aware of my situation:

I'm a Soldier in the US Army. Im going to deploy to Iraq VERY soon. Obviously for security reasons, I cannot tell you when. I will however let you guys know once I am in Iraq after I am already there. After I leave the states, it may be a while before I can get back on here because alot of things have to be done once the bird lands and we get off the plane over there.

Well, I am in El Paso with a unit that is in the same Brigade that I am assigned to at Fort Hood, TX. I only came here so that I could do the training with this unit so I can deploy with them. Then after the deployment, I will go back to Fort Hood to my original unit. I am here because I possess special skill sets that this unit needs for their mission in Iraq. So for the time being, I am in some ****ty ass barracks with no tv, and no internet. My wife has my car back at Fort Hood, so unless I wanna get a taxi for 15 bucks and go to Starbucks and hang out with a bunch of corporate hippie douche bag pacifists, then another 15 bucks home, and I,aint doing that.

Well just want you guys to know my situation.

Its not a normal apt-get download. Use this command. Well first go here to know how your machine must be setup first:

Well, actually go here first to see how to set up repo first, then go to the link above:

When you are done, you dont need to get the manifest.git, you can go straight to koush's directions after you get your machine setup.

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarist5122:
i havent tried it out yet, but im told darktremors apps2sd moves the entire app to your sd card leaving the cache on the phones internal memory. idk how fast it is in comparison to standard apps2sd, but apps2sd wont move the entire app over, just a portion. if youre on a vanilla rom, then it doesnt really matter imo which you use. if youre on a sense rom, sounds like dtapps2sd is the best choice do to the lack of internal memory

[Atrix 4G General] hiltun:
I got the OtterBox Black Defender Case - MOTOROLA ATRIX (TM) 4G with the belt clip and built in screen protector. I kind of liked it at first but it keeps jabbing me in the side and I wish I could just put it in my pocket but it's too think to do so while sitting down.

So I'm looking to get another case that will mostly protect my phone from scratches and a few bumps here and there. So this means I need a screen protector too. It's hard to tell how the screen protector feels and how the case fits on the phone.

What have you used or seen that you like and why?
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
I currently use the anti-glare screen protectors that AT&T carries in store. It takes away a little of the brilliance of the screen but I don't mind. I'm also using the Incipio Feather case but for more protection I also did have the Speck Candyshell which fit it really well and did not impede the screen protector. The only reason I returned it was because the "outer-shell" was too smooth for me, I like the rubberized feel of the Incipio.
[Atrix 4G General] Spikevyxel:
I have the OtterBox Commuter case on my Atrix. I really like it. It not nearly as bulky as the defender case but still provides seemingly decent protection.
[Atrix 4G General] squassss:
Do these cases keep it from seating on the laptop dock properly?
[Atrix 4G General] dingleberry1:
Seconding the Otterbox Commuter. The naked Atrix felt kinda slippery, the rubber sleeve peeking through the clip on shell makes it feel secure in my hand.
[Atrix 4G General] dmbrown81:
I've been rocking the otterbox impact case with full ghost armor. Works and feels great
[Atrix 4G General] hiltun:
Does the Otter Box cases pick up a lot of lint and other stuff in your pockets?
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
As far as the laptop dock, I'm not sure but with the multimedia dock I have heard that the Speck case can fit if the insert is taken out. If you use the laptop dock quite a bit I would go with the Otterbox Impact case because it would be the easiest to remove and put back on.

Yes, Otterbox cases are notorious lint magnets. It's a trade off for the protection.
[Atrix 4G General] hiltun:
Has anyone heard about "Skinomi TechSkin", "Great Shield", or "splash Masque"?

They are the ones that you can get off of Amazon.com.
[Atrix 4G General] diedemus:
I also have the Incipio feather case, works great so far, and is easier for me to hold on to. I work in a warehouse and from handling boxes all the time its hard for me to keep a decent hold on smooth plastic unless I try to crush it.

As far as a screen protector goes, I have not seen a need for one yet. I forgot I had my keys in my pocket when I put the phone in and didn't get any scratches.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Yea, I feel th same way. I usually take such good care of my phones that I never even get scratches on the screen protector but knowing my luck if I ever tried without one something terrible would happen.
[Atrix 4G General] captaincanada84:
Got the Otterbox Defender for mine. I'll happily have a thicker phone for the added protection.
[Atrix 4G General] veuro:
body glove case

Body glove case seems to be the best fit for the atrix...for me, i.e slim, feels sturdy in hand and removes easily to allow fit with other moto accessories.

Even if they get damage.

In fact, I happen to dislike very much how those protectors make the phone larger in the pocket.

If you know of anything for the Atrix which doesn't make it bigger please let me know.

Gold luck guys.

[Atrix 4G General] darkamikaze:
Using the skinomi body skin .. it's awesome. applying the back part was a little challenging but i got it down.. I failed on my screen though because I did it in low light.. so I didn't notice i still had some lint on the screen :( so you can see a little when it's bright.
[Atrix 4G General] hiltun:
How does the Skinomi feel on the touch screen?
[Atrix 4G General] Kueller:
I'm going caseless for the first time since my flip phone days.

The back cover offers pretty much total coverage and should be cheap to replace.

The gorilla glass face should be more scratch resistant than any screen protector would be, and it's not like a sheet of plastic is going to save the screen from the sort of sharp impact that might shatter it.

I have no qualms about taking my gadgets apart, if I mess up the glass I'll just get a replacement. Ifixit found the glass is thankfully NOT glued to the LCD, so it should be a pretty cheap fix.
[Atrix 4G General] Inspiredwire:
I got the Incipio Feather case from Radio Shack and I have a screen protector on order from Zagg.

Hey guys,

Could you do me a favor and check to see if the screen touches the table with the phone upside down. I'm thinking about buying the Incipio Feather Case but want to make sure that it keeps the screen elevated.

[Atrix 4G General] ycrazyy:
I got the Skinomi Techskin with the dark wood back and it's pretty awesome. I have never been one for screen protectors but I got a tiny scratch on my Atrix after about 2 days (which now you can't see with the Skinomi on it). It feels great though, you really can't even tell it's there. I was worried at first, but as others said the microbubbles disappear rather quickly (I put it on last night). The wood back looks pretty slick too

I got the Skinomi Techskin as well, the carbon fiber one, had it for my Droid X as well.. I did the screen protector as well last night, no bubbles, but you can tell there was still some of the application left behind it.. woke up this morning, 3/bubbles on the far left corner.. but it looks like it's going down in size as the day goes by.. so will wait it out before peeling that corner to get it out...

One thing about Skinomi though is, wondering if it's just me, they are slow in shipping... they notified USPS on 3/3 to expect my package for shipping.. no changes on 3/8.. contacted them to find out what's up, next day, USPS updates that they got my package for shipping and it's on it's way.. next day, got email from Skinomi saying they don't know why there was a delay in my item being shipped out.. just got it on Monday(3/14).. they did the same thing with my Droid X skin, except, it was 2 weeks before they shipped it out.. gave them a bad review, they refunded my $$ and asked if I could take off the bad review.. I was like nope:p Don't get me wrong, I like their products, just the shipping sucks for some reason.. /rant :D

Yeah I actually had a similar experience with this order. I ordered through Amazon, they sent me a shipping notification the next day (2/28). By 3/9 I still hadn't received it, and apparently USPS hadn't either. Called them up, they said I should have gotten it and that they would send out another. Got another shipping notification, then both packages showed up in the USPS system and I got both of them. Not complaining, but it was a little silly of them. It's as if they found the first one and still shipped the second one along with it.
