tethering isn't the only reason for root access. You can still be rooted, just shouldn't tether anymore.
[Defy General] shadow813:
:confused::eek:Ok. I have the motorola defy mb525. rooted and with titanium and busybox

System Version 3.6.190.mb525.t-mobile.en.us

Firmaware 2.1 update 1

kernel 2.6.29

build jordn_u3_6.19.0

BP FLEX usajrdntmob1b4b5de1028.or

AP FFLEX GAS_na_jordantmo_po22

My problems are these:

I tried to do the nandroid backup; stuck on a boot loop. Try to flash a different rom; stuck at the M symbol. tried the one where you can do the rom on the phone itself w/o having to flash; stuck on the M.

Also, there is an update out and I can't install it. when it brings me to the screen with the triangle with the exclamation in it it loads just under half and stops. when i check it says applying patch to audiopostcard failed. now I'm on the hunt for the the stock bloat apps to install the update.

Ultimately, i am trying to install froyo. This is the third and last phone I can get from the carrier and if i **** this one up I will get an equal or lesser

valued phone

:mad:. I can't have that. I thought I was good at following instructions but obviously I'm an ass.

Can somebody please help with detailed and specific instructions. To help me with this I would definitely buy a beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In advance, I greatly appreciate and thank you for your time and help.

I had an idea on how to do a "true" honeycomb lockscreen. At http://j.mp/dXw49d (XDA forum) you must drag down to unlock. What about making the gesture "trail" the honeycomb unlock icon and then creating gestures for every direction? What I mean is making everything gone (hide unlock slider) then making the gesture trails look like the unlock icon. Then after creating the gestures in every direction then dragging the dot anywhere you can unlock. Also maybe restrict the starting point for the gestures to where the icon is. I can give you screenshots to show you what I mean.

Do you think it would work?

[Defy General] ndoody:
Okay so I have got a new Motorola Defy and the first thing I did was follow all the instructions to load 3.4.2-155-2 Deblur SBF which I have found absolutely great.

Now prior to loading this SBF I could get the recovery screen up with the Power + Volume down, however since upgrading it has become just a screen with the little android bot and an exclamation mark.

I wasnt bothered about this particulary until now I want to try the clockwork recovery utility and a few other things on my phone. Do I have to load any of the bootloader SBF's that are contained in the SBF thread if I have flashed with 3.4.2-155-2 Deblur ?

My phone is rooted no problem and I have tried to install the clockworkmod apk com.kb7sqi.defy.bootstrap.old.apk file. This appears to work all correctly, it gets superuser permissions and it reports success.

However if I go to the recovery app and click recovery boot it just goes to a black screen?
[Defy General] ndoody:
To fix the black screen simply disable USB debugging.

Still, would like to know what are the bootloaders for?
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
Press vol+/- together to get menu, press +/- to select, press power to run.

Better use recovery customized for defy http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=875233
[Defy General] ndoody:
Thanks for your help, the volume together fixed that issue :)

As for the customized recovery for defy I actually read this :-

At the end of that thread and figured I should use it?
[Defy General] ndoody:
One last question if I may, if I browse the SD card from my laptop it does nto show all the files on it?
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
Pull defy's status menu, tap usb connection, tap mass storage.
[Defy General] 999phonebug:
The recovery mentioned by the OP is actually made of a newer version, AFAIK. It's also made specifically for Defy.

I've tried both, both work.

Did you do a "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition" and "advanced -> wipe Dalvik Cache" with Clockworkmod?

You can also use fullwipe.zip, mentioned in the dev section.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hedayat7:
for android market, you can easily go to setting -> manage application -> all application -> market -> delete data. and open your market again. (make sure you have already set your google account first, to use market)

for applanet, i think this is illegal to discuss it here. but for hint, this is not the android or rom problems. it's the application itself is currently unstable due to development and server changing.

but still, don't discuss illegal thing in this forum.

Interesting! Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
I had one more, from today. Watch what happens when i go and read a topic on the engadget app (entire white colors) while i was outside at max brightness. power draw sky rockets up, then back down when i return to the black graph view.

Browse the White color Engadget App by RogerPodacter, on Flickr
[Nexus One General] fyid:
great data - can you check some apps, like words with friends & weather channel (background widget). words with friends tops out my cpu for no good reason.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
how exactly would you like it tested? i've never used words with friends, and i never installed the weather channel widget either. the second one might be harder to test. is there a way to tell it to initiate its update or data transfer or whatever it is that it does?
[Nexus One General] zeus_chingon:
The current graph is a lil bit confussing. Is the rightmost the oldest plot? and the leftmost is the most recent?
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
The right direction is older and the left is more recent. The full current graph only shows in seconds, around a minute or so. So this is like a true profile of all power, in real time, going thru the battery's resistor, and hence device power draw. So its great to see exactly what different tasks do to power behind the scenes.

I've been doing many more tests just for fun. My overall discovery is that the screen is bad, real bad, and there's a disproportionate difference between min and max screen brightness. Min is really good, but max is so far off the charts bad that its horribly power hungry. So I'm practicing keeping locked at min brightness. Then comparing things like CPU usage loading a web page in the background, then over WiFi then 3g, etc.

I'm enjoying seeing the bad offenders.
[Nexus One General] OJ in Compton:
Thanks for posting these, you're just as helpful here as you were on the S60 boards @ hofo :)
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Excellent analysis to visually confirm what has been known and constantly overlooked by people complaining about their battery life: the 2 major power-hungry things in the phone are the display and the 3G data - when it fires up.

You could also show GPS power draw, to have a good comparison between values. I'd guess that running Google Maps on full brightness during the day over cellular data will show near the maximal power draw possible from the device.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
Good ideas, I'll do a gps test next. I've already done it but with no screen shots, and I can say it really puts I high load on the battery by far.

I also just now did a 3g phone call test, and it was higher than I thought it would be. I'll post the screen later.

I'm now a huge proponent of min screen brightness. If you can use min brightness then do it. If that's too dim during the day then 40% gives the best combo of still usable with decent power. But auto brightness, or max brightness which will happen in sun light, is just totally off the charts bad. And when loading a web page outside at max brightness, the power is thru the roof.

So I'm now locking my screen at 40%.

Edit: I also did color comparisons. Full screen of white, red, blue and green. Nothing too crazy but still cool.
[Nexus One General] Dirk:
Fascinating read. Keep up the good work!
[Nexus One General] barisrael:
Wow, very interesting.

Thanks man.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
Wow I'm finally trying out stock gingerbread and the idle power readings are significantly lower than froyo. On froyo I'd see around 20mA and I'm seeing about 7mA now consistently. My app doesn't work on stock so I don't have fine control but it definitely makes sense from reading what people are saying.
[Nexus One General] tangcla:
Nice little review.

Out of curiosity, do you think there's much difference between AMOLED, SAMOLED and SAMOLED+ in terms of power consumption?

I'm eyeing the Galaxy S II as my next phone and online reviews all rave about how power efficient it is. But we all know how that isn't entirely true!
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
The SAMOLED displays are supposed to be 30% more efficient then regular AMOLED.
[Nexus One General] tangcla:
Hmm, and I have a Nexus S, and that SAMOLED seems to be total crap... lol
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
Samsung claims a 30% increase in power savings, bit I don't believe it for a second and here's why.

First, both the nexus one (amoled) and nexus s (super amoled) both get IDENTICAL browsing test results, both make it 3.7 hours at anandtech. Nexus s has slightly larger screen but also has larger battery.

Second all you have to do is look thru galaxy, nexus s, and galaxy s2 forum. Not a single one has anyone getting more than 4 hours of screen on time in the battery threads. Not a single bit of improvement, at all, between the amoled technologies.

Then to rub it in, iPhone 4 crushes it getting a full 10 hours of browsing time on the same test.

LCD is becoming my preferred choice more and more. Testing an HTC inspire with slcd, it pulls 250 mA Max brightness. But my test results in this thread alone shoot up to 900 mA just loading white pages.
[Nexus One General] tangcla:
Hmm. So wonder whether it's worth getting the HTC Sensation instead of the Galaxy S2...
[Nexus One General] tangcla:
Wow! With full brightness on a mear-white page and the torch on, I was drawing 747mAH...

Radio versions

There were conflicting reports about power consumption of various radio versions including versions 5.08 and 5.12. It would nice to see a more solid evidence of how these radios perform. Thanks ...
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
the only info i have on that is i have been using 5.12 radio for the last 8 months, and the lowest idle current draw i see on my device is 5 mA in standby with screen off.

Hello

I downloaded the [ROM-ODIN]T959VUVKB5 Stock + Root

but it will not re-install all the Bloatware on my phone

I want to try the [ROM-ODIN] Deodexed KB5 Enhanced v1.5 rom now

However, I just can't enter Download Mode anymore

If I press Volume Up + Volume Down + HOME + Power button, I can enter the recovery mode or whatever it's called

If I press Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button the phone boots normally

I do remember accessing Download Mode before, when I install the Stock + Root ROM

At this point I'm so frustrated I am just going to return the phone to the store and cancel the whole T-Mobile contract

Samsung Galaxy S 4G was supposedly the BEST OF THE BEST but with 200MB out of stock I just can't use this phone too much, since a few apps use 20MB per app (Google Earth, Adobe Air...)

Anyway, I want to reinstall all the Bloatware, so I'd appreciate if someone can tell me how to restore this phone to factory settings, with all the bloatware and all that crap

I appreciate your responses

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
Shut down your phone. pull the battery out. connect your tether cable to the phone and USB to computer. start oden, put tar file in PDA box. don't change any other settings. Put your phone in download mode by pressing both up/down volume buttons (not Power) and insert the battery. once in download mode, click on Start on oden. As for the bloatware, you are going to get whatever apps that are in the tar file. I think Some of the bloat has been removed. Not sure what, but it seems most of it is still there. I think DriveSmart is gone
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rafarataneneces:
THANK YOU BROTHER

I was 20 minutes away from going to T-Mobile

Ok, so why is this procedure different from other procedures?

To recap

1) Shut down your phone

2) Start ODIN and select TAR file

3) Press Volume Up/Volume UP simultaneously

4) Insert battery

5) Click Start in Odin

Now my question, in Step 3, after I press Volume Up/Volume Down, and I insert the battery, should I press the power button or not?

I appreciate your help, however, I have a new problem now

This thing is not progressing at all

I remember the first time I did that I saw some progress both in the phone and in the program

Now I see SOME progress in the program, but that progress stopped a WHILE ago

Now the phone tells me

Downloading...

Do not turn off Target!!!

Now what should I do?

I would REALLY appreciate if you can continue helping me please since you seem to have experience with this
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
The Three fingered salute Vol up/down/power is a master reset to get back to original image file. When you mess-up the image you have to recover some other way. So far with the SGS4G the only way that is working until CWM is fixed is the oden process. It appears that oden is kind of a quirky program. Sometimes it locks up and you have to try again. So you need to have to give it time to work and if it fails you have to try again. Master reset uses files that are on the memory on the phone. Oden uses files on an external source an pushes them to the phone. To enable the push the phone has to be in download mode to receive the files. There is a device you can purchase to plug into the phone that will put the phone into download mode. It cost about $10. Its kinda handy if you are doing this alot, but removing the battery pushing both volume buttons and inserting the battery gets you there. You can also remove and reinsert the battery then plug in the tethering cable while pushing the buttons also as Krylon360 has pointed out.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rafarataneneces:
Yeah if I don't see a progress bar in the phone, I'll just reboot

I finally have flashed the Samsung Galaxy S 4G to two ROMS

1) T959VKB5-Custom

2) KB5Deodexv15

I hope at least one of those can return the Bloatware

I want to recover the bloatware because it was located in the folder

/system/

So it doesn't occupies space in the folder /data/
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rafarataneneces:
1) T959VKB5-Custom is a better ROM since it restored Drive Smart and Think Office

The other ROM has nothing

I'm glad I finally discovered how to insert ROMs into my Samsung Galaxy S 4G
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
Glad to hear you got it working. You may be able to find some of the apps you are looking for that are missing. Look around XDA I've seen some posts of others asking for some of the missing apps. There are some programs like Android Commander that can install APKs from your computer if you can download them there. You might be able to find some of those apps on the market possibly.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
If you are having issues getting into DL mode after trying to go to GB, this method will likely not help you. This will get you to the recovery menu (blue) or CWM (Red or Orange) depending what you have installed on your phone. To get into recovery press the vol UP/DN/Power then release the buttons just before it cycles off again. I let it cycle once or twice so I can time when to release the buttons. I just count to about 4 or 5 then release the buttons. If you tried to install GB you will have to get into DL mode and flash the phone using Oden again using another ROM such as the KD1 ROM.

EDIT. To get into DL mode I use the method #3. Shut down phone. Pull battery out. Get oden setup on your computer by putting a Rom into the PDA box (Such as PDA_KD1.tar.md5). Put battery back in the phone. Hold the vol/up/dn buttons only. Then plug in your USB cable into your phone. That should put you in DL mode. Oden will detect your phone and light up yellow in the top first box and indicate which COM port you are on. If you can get that far press START and flash away. What you will likely have to do is flash the KC1 ROM with the Hawk_Sidekick_VibrantPlus_831.pit. That should bring your system back so you can flash other ROMs. Check This Post for directions on using this method. This is one way people have been recovering from GB problems. The top part explains how to get KC1 ROM installed. You can flash the KD1 ROM after that if you want, Just don’t use the Pit file or check repartition when going to KD1.
