… still no official solution for bootloader, what does it mean

Motorola promised to offer a way:

the told us we have to wait:

https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/45249?tstart=30 :p

Christy Wyatt (Motorola board member) talked about the advantages of android:

“I don’t envision us using Microsoft. I would never say never but it’s not something we’re entertaining now,” said Wyatt. The company proudly boasts of being 100% committed to Android and believes that Microsoft’s “closed” OS prevents them from “creating unique value”. :)

So ....

Any news on this? Where is Motorola's solution?
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
Uuh... i think it means that the phone has been out for barely a month (which i find odd that you link to a "promise" made by Motorola back in January about a bootloader solution.... and even then they said that more details will be available when they get closer to availability. SO.... my guess is they probably don't want to talk about it right now. Like i say about a lot of things... i'd rather hear nothing at all for a while and then get a definite date, than hear something now and have it delayed and delayed.
[Atrix 4G General] Deleted member 2488575:

aaaaaaaaanyways I just want to know if motorola is actually planning on doing this or if they have forgotten all intentions. Also Sony just decided to unlock the bootloaders so hopefully motorola follows them.

What does this have to do with what we are talking about?
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
Think he's talking about that one that's been posted in a few threads about AT&T as well as possibly other carriers shutting down both voice and data services on phones detected to be rooted/jailbroken.... which unless the person doing so is doing something like a free tethering app and seriously hogging their network, i doubt AT&T or any other carrier would touch with someone elses 30-foot pole. That is unless they want some lawsuits on their hands.

still.... rather irrelevant.
[Atrix 4G General] Kueller:
I read this as "There's no way Microsoft would let us put a linux built webtop which they receive no licensing fees for on a phone alongside their WP7 OS."

Which doesn't mean they support Android being open, they just oppose paying someone for an OS. Android is just a convenient free option and locking it down costs less than developing their own proprietary OS, as well as offering a large pre-established App development base which their proprietary OS could never hope to attract. For instance Webtop apps would be sweet...but I'm not expecting any in the foreseeable future.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubjdub:
Hey all,

A couple of days ago my contact list completely vanished. I tried to add a couple names back and they didn't even show up. I am running 2.1-update1 with multi-touch, build 2.1.A.0.435. When I go to export the contacts via e-mail, my entire list is there for export which makes no sense as to why it doesn't show on my regular contact list under phonebook. I was thinking about resetting to factory and reloading the .vcf file I sent via email or reflash and resync my contacts which is what I really don't want to have to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated before I make a bad move.

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scamp238:

[Atrix 4G General] NoNameAtAll:
If this has been posted before, then I apologize and you'll be free to lock and trash this thread. But I searched elsewhere and I couldn't find anything about this.

My data plan is DataPlus 200 MB for Smartphones. In theory, I should be able to get the aforementioned DataPlus 200 MB for HSPA+/4G smartphones. After all, the Atrix is a phone that supports HSPA+.

The fact is that I still run my old Cingular SIM inside of the phone. Might that have an effect on why I don't have the HSPA+/4G version of DataPlus?

It's just that when I try to switch to the HSPA+/4G version, I get an error. F902 or something.
[Atrix 4G General] Clienterror:
You could try to go into a corporate store if one is close, sometimes the website glitches out.
[Atrix 4G General] NoNameAtAll:
Well, I was already considering going to a store to change to their "4G" branded SIM anyway.

Since, even though the Atrix doesn't support LTE, it certainly won't hurt to have a future-proof SIM. :P

I appreciate the help and I'll post my findings after I go there.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
what phone did you have before?

i'm pretty sure you need to swap out to a more current SIM. old cingular card aren't the same.
[Atrix 4G General] fincan:
So you only get edge connection with your old sim?

I am using a 6 year old Cingular sim card and phone shows H+
[Atrix 4G General] motoatrix:
I'm still using my 5 year old sim card and it also says H+ on my atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] NoNameAtAll:
Nonono, it shows the H+. But remember that the H+ shows up even if the area only has a 3G connection. I live in an area that's covered with the HSPA+ backhaul, but my data plan still shows the non-HSPA+/4G version.
[Atrix 4G General] Techcruncher:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.zwanoo.android.speedtest&feature=search_result

it will be pretty obvious what network you are on.
[Atrix 4G General] NoNameAtAll:
It doesn't matter. The "issue" is solved. I got a new SIM and the AT&T reps moved me to the HSPA+ version of the DataPlus plan. The old non-HSPA+ version vanished afterward. So I think the SIM may have had something to do with it. Not necessarily the SIM itself, but rather how AT&T uses it or something.

Thanks for the help though folks. :)

Hey what's the reasoning behind occasional, I think after some calls when I adjust the volume or something after the call the volume is through the earpeace. The fix is to get in a call and hit speaker and adjust your volume then it goes back to normal. What's the dealio?

Although I dont have my captivate any longer, I used to have this problem all the time with my captivate. I always used DG roms but I am sure it was hardware related instead of rom related. You probably do not want to do a warranty exchange but it might fix it, I've been through 5 of them before moving to another phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJ133169:
I can't remember if its on other roms. I don't think its hardware related or it would happen more then not and it rarely happens and I can't replicate it plus it was a easy fix to get back to normal. Deffinately software bug if you ask me. Just wish I could replicate it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJ133169:
It did it today. In the country, dropped a call then everything came out of the earpiece not speaker. Fix is to call, hit speaker then hang up.... ??? Why does it do this? Its been along time since it happened last but I'm still curious.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] enelyam:
Hi to all peeps in the forum, definetly the state of the art forums in terms of Android. I have a simple question thought. Last week i was trying to change my custom firmware to a different one on a mytouch 3g 1.6. I think i ended up soft bricking my phone. The firmware i was trying to add to the phone was a Modacos because ive read someone saying he was using it in his mytouch 3g and it was running pretty ok. Ok my fault, later someone told me that He would never use a modacos in his cel phones. Anyways, my question is, do i need jtag to unbrick that phone, or is there any walkaround to save the phone? I can do whatever i want with it since its not my regular day phone. Here are some specifics on what is it with the phone.

1. Does it charges when plugged in? Yes it does

2. It shows a blue light if i hit the power+back button at the same time with black screen.

3. If not, the only thing that immediately shows is the android unfolding files image no matter if its connected to the usb or anything like that.

4. I will attach an image so you guys can see the only thing that shows up
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] maffo999:
answer

Hi there,

for what you have described in your post, the only way you have to re-gain access to your phone is ossing the JTAG method since you can't access directly fastboot on that phone (back + power).

if you plug the phone it's correct for the battery to charge, since this is just an electrical process and doesn't involve processor or system.

google for "htc magic JTAG unlock" you will find all informations you need to bring your phone back to life.

good luck!

Another user on this forum is having an issue with mis-alligned text. Originally they felt it was an issue with malformed .9.pngs, but I have replaced all the pngs in the framework with stock pngs and the issue is still ongoing.

Question I have is what controls the text alignment (an xml in framework? or elsewhere such as services.jar)

I have recently learned how to theme the Andoid OS. I understand how to de-compile an apk, make xml edits (color edits using word pad), re-compile the apk. (replace the android-manifest and meta folders from the recompiled apk with the originals).

I know how run baksmali on services.jar make the appropriate edit to change the clock color. (as far as the services.jar, That is truely all I know).

I would like like to help this person, but need a sense of direction as to where to begin looking to fix.

Any and all help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.

Below is a link to the original thread they posted with screen shots of the mis-aligned text.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
Hey guys, just rooted and flashed CM 6.1.1 for the first time on my precious G2 and had a few questions. While I'm a beast with flashing roms to the Viewsonic G Tab, I was a bit hesitant to do it on my daily lifeline, but I was finally fed up with the bloat.

1. I've seen several conflicting responses to this in the forum search, so I just wanted to ask it, does the Market auto update on CM like it does on stock? I know it does on the Tab ( with G apps), but I have been stuck with the "old" market for 2 days now, and my attempts to flash the new one have failed.

2. While I'm using ADWLauncher EX (and it's great) I do love the simplicity of the stock Android Launcher. Do you guys have any recommendations for a good "stock" launcher (with the 3d app drawer)?

3. Easy one, if I ever want to go back to my old rooted stock, all I do is just use my Nandroid backup I did (copied to my computer) before I flashed CM correct?

Thanks guys, love that my device feels snappy, just need to work on getting my battery life up. I plan on flashing CM7 once the GPS and battery problems get figured out.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Hey there; Good to see a new person on the G2 forums.

1) As far as I know, the market doesn't auto-update in CM6. You can choose to manually flash the newer versions, however.

2) I have been using the stock 2.3 launcher from a thread in the Nexus S forums (found HERE, download the "CM7GBStockLauncher.zip" file, flash via recovery). It replaces ADW and installs the stock launcher, and works/performs amazingly. You will lose all of your home screen placements, widgets, etc. though. (If you choose to do this and plan to flash nightlies of CM7, I can give you a few useful pointers about that, too).

3) Yes. Just go into ROM manager, select "backup and restore" and choose the backup of your stock ROM (or any other ROM) and it will do its thing and reboot into your old ROM of choice. Just be sure when putting the backup onto your phone from your computer to properly put it into the correct folder for ROM manager backups.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
It is easy, just download the radio version you want from here. If you have a T-Mobile HD2 like I think you do.Do not flash this "Leo_RADIO_2.07.51.22_2" that is in the list of radios in the first post of the thread as it will brick a T-Mobile HD2. Once you have your radio downloaded just follow Samsamuel's instructions from the other thread to flash via bootloader to flash the radio it is just like flasbing a ROM but it is just the radio.

Edit: Matter of fact do not flash any of tbe following radios from that thread as they all will brick a T-Mobile HD2.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uli71:
You should read Sir Sternas' post #1 in Artemis thread carefully.

There is written:

NOTE 4 : USE ver 5x.x GEN V (or old ver 4x.x GEN IV) ONLY with SPL 3.03.0000 and Radio 2.15.50.14 from latest stock LEO-S 3.14.

For Artemis there is no need of HSPL.

1. remove HSPL

2. download STOCK ROM 3.14 from HTC homepage by entering your serial number

3. flash downloaded STOCK ROM (this will install SPL3.03 and radio 2.15.50.14)

4. hard reset after first startup

5. flash Artemis with SSPL

6. hard reset after first startup

that's it

Freezes by changing volume level are well known by presence of HSPL1.66 or HSPL2.08 or wrong radio version caused by wrong flashing method.

EDIT: I've seen you other thread, now it is easier for me to see what's wrong.

Ignore the steps above.

1. keep HSPL3.03 installed with HSPL4.exe

2. download STOCK ROM 3.14 from here

3. download LeoAdvancedRUU from here

4. extract your downloaded STOCK ROM file with 7-zip or something similar

5. copy the RUU_signed.nbh file to the same folder where LeoAdvancedRUU is located

6. remove your SD

7. connect your HD2 with ActivSync or WindowsMobiledeviceCenter to your PC

8. run LeoAdvancedRUU as Administrator

9. choose option 2 Custom RUU and select the RUU_signed.nbh file

10. select next and confirm all following questions

11. do hard reset after first start up

12. download Artemis from its thread

13. extract the file with 7-zip or something similar

14. copy the RUU_Signed_xxxx.nbh file to the same folder where LeoAdvancedRUU is located

15. connect your HD2 with ActivSync or WindowsMobiledeviceCenter to your PC

16. run LeoAdvancedRUU as Administrator

17. choose option 1 Regular RUU and select the RUU_Signed_xxxx.nbh file

18. select next and confirm all following questions

19. do hard reset after first start up

20. Now you have functional Artemis

21. delete the folders Program Files and Application Data on your SD by using a card reader

22. insert your SD

23. done
