A long, long time ago (on my old G1 I think or maybe the MT3G), I flashed a Rom that asked questions during the flash process. Specifically, I think it prompted me on which kernel I wanted to use and if I wanted to do a wipe.
Is that possible using CWM 5.x? Is there a guide or tutorial for setting up such a q/a script? If so, can someone point me to the thread? My google-Fu has failed me.
Or am I imagining things, and such a thing never existed...
I would think it could be possible by editting the updater script. But never tried it.

It occurred to me after posting that that I think it was back in my G1 days and it required keyboard input (option 1, 2, etc)... could be why we don't see it now on keyboard-less devices. Maybe not an easy way to do scrolling in bash...

do not be an idiot like me and use the partition sd card option in rom manager. It will mess up the phone's master boot record and you will have to rewrite the original one in order for voodoo kernels or anything that modifies the boot record to work properly.
once again don't be an idiot like me! Thank you
I don't know what to say to this... I think this is why you aren't getting any replies. Lol.
good thing this was put in development. Hey dev's, did this help you in creating your newest rom/kernel?

If you do this to your sd card, will the kernel not rewrite the MBR when you reboot? Like the first time you flash a Voodoo kernel.

Uhm... in light of your signature, you do realize this is the Verizon Samsung Fascinate forum, right? Not the Sprint HTC Hero forum.
Because this post does not apply to HTC phones. Or Motorola phones. Or LG phones. Or any phone that isn't a Samsung Galaxy S.
Check below:
http://galaxysense.com/Fascinate/
That site was allowing to browse directories a couple of days ago. I guess owner is here, on forum.
First post here, so please take it a little easy on me. I have had my Vibrant for some time, I had not rooted as I didn't fully understand how magic it could be. After some research, I decided I would go ahead and do it tonight, using one click root. Everything is mostly ok and I think that I did successfully root, however, I am having problems with Super User. First off, just about anything I do force closes it, but secondly - and more importantly - I have downloaded a few apps that need root access, like 'shoot me' or 'titanium backup' - both will open, but they dont work, superuser is not popping up like I was under the impression that it would.
I have been googling for some time now and cannot find an answer to this, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Try to open titanium backup and hit the problems button to download busybox. See if that does you any good.
Thanks, that did it. The only issue I am having now is that I have no haptic feedback and the phone is moving waaaaay slower then ever
Hmmm... I would say to odin back to stock and go with a custom rom. It sounds like your phone got aids somewhere along the way.

Howdy all!
Has anyone noticed that the "Double Tap Home" button resets itself? I changed mine to be the dialer, and after a few days it resets to Voice Dial.
I'm curious if anyone has run into it and possibly solved this problem.
Are you running a custom ROM or Motorola firmware?

That could be the reason. Have you tried custom ROMS instead? If you need help with the boot loader unlocking, rooting process, let me know because I can help.

I haven't ventured into the realm of custom ROMs yet. Definitely an area that I want to get into (I was an avid blackberry beta tester before I jumped ship).
Can you answer a few questions perhaps?
1. Will flashing a new ROM cause me to lose all my user data?
2. What ROM do you recommend? I actually like the look of the stock .91 ROM, and I use ADW Launcher. I'm not really into the CG7 look with everything being bluish. I guess with ROMs, I just don't have a good enough understanding.
For the first question, yes you will lose stock data. But if you have gmail, contacts, paid apps, and calendar will be saved. But its totally worth it. The rom I recommend right now is the ALIEN ROM. Which is a nice one. If you want to to start, let me know and I will give you a guide that helped me.

Maybe I misunderstood, but I am already rooted and unlocked.
I thought what you were going to provide was the latest ALIEN rom link and screenshots (as well as the way to apply the rom - fastboot, cwm, etc.)

Double-tap home got too annoying for me.
I ended up freezing the default voice command feature in TiBu, and don't have to worry about it anymore...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186537
Here is the alien ROM LINK
Sorry for the late response.
Ok! Well, all that was easier than I thought. This is amazingly fast. So far I haven't found any glitches, everything works the same for me. I've rebooted several times and the home button hasn't reset, so thats a good sign.
One thing I did notice is that I now only have one APN listed, and I think before I had several.
I didn't install the bloatware, but BLUR seems to work fine.
One thing I will say is that installing 200 apps by hand from the market SUCKED. I used a Titanium Backup and then used the market link from there.
Also thought that I should mention that this did *NOT* fix my "double tap" home button issue.
After some amount of time the home button defaults to voice commands, which is useless to me. Taking another suggestion above and freezing the app with TiBackupPro.
Oh well. Maybe Beta #4 will fix the issue.

How do I uninstall the JB ROM completely?
Edit: Whenever I connect my phone to my computer, it won't show up and I can't add anything to my internal SD.
Edit 2: I got it. I appreciate the help anyways.
Should be very similar as how you flashed the rom you currently have. Not to be a smartass but the op also posted instructions on how to flash. You just need to download the rom and the current gapps for jb and flash using twrp or cmw. Great rom too. For me not quite ready for a daily driver but really good.

I agree, don't use goo flash with CWM or TWRP and just flash what ever ROM you want to go back to.

Just download the ROM and gaaps you want put on your SD card(internal SD is fine) whipe data, cache ect. Use twrp to install. I prefer twrp because you can install everything in one shot. Hope you figure it out.

People shouldn't be flashing anything if they're asking how to uninstall a ROM...
If you have no knowledge then why risk it??
Read read read read read
And idk how much I can emphasize this but READ
This isn't a help hotline or a help website with walk thrus.. there is YouTube for that..
The OP of every ROM or port or hack or mod has detailed instructions on how to flash a ROM and the requirements.
If you can't figure it out by reading and having a some what knowledge of what's going on....stay away from flashing..
That's how we get all the "I bricked my phone help" threads...

Hey guys, its atrixno4g and i was wondering if their is away to rom the atrix running 2.3.6 with .141. Oh and if someone could tell me about this unlocked-bootloader thing is all about ( is it when the phone is unlocked?) and how to get the clockworkmod recovery i think its called.. I recently got this phone and without doing any research i used a program called RSD Lite and flashed some sbf to downgrade or something and instead bricked my phone- but i fixed it now. So basically can someone just give me a brief summary about all this, i dont want to brick my phone again.
Thanks.

Sorry but by asking questions like that you are effectively invalidating and making worthless all the hard work and effort put into writing all those tutorials and explanations in other threads. Not nice.

Yeah, they are outdated. Like the bootloader thread, its outdated, but its still the way to do it. Theres no newer way. After that, root it. After you root it just install cwm from the market don't follow any threads on it.

Like everyone has said you gotta search. A sign you haven't even looked in those threads is the fact you said they're outdated even though they have responses that are very recent, indicating people with your version and firmware might be commenting. It's a lot of reading and it should be because if you mess it up you could brick your phone. Read everything you can and then read it again. I can guarantee you can unlock, get clockworkmod working, and flash a ROM onto your phone (my guarantee is limited to the US AT&T atrix)
Thanx for everything guys- now i root first or unlock bootloader?
