So I have 2 touchpads and have installed android on 3. One of them however, cwm won't even install anything. Its really weird. I ended up having to uninstall everything android and stick with webos. Any ideas on what to do? Or do I have a hardware issue and just stuck with webos. Not that webos is bad and I mainly use the tablet as an internet device to pull up diagrams and such for working on my cars. But it would be nice to have Android on it. Anyone else run across this issue?
I removed Android from the device.and redid the install via acmeinstaller, and considering I have done it on two other devices with no issues makes me.wonder what happened on this last one. Android was rebooting a lot so I tried a wipe and reinstall the rom but cwm would reboot itself seconds after hitting the rom folder to execute the rom installation.

Try this rom.

Even though it is also based on Cm7 you might be lucky. Just follow the instructions to the later as posted.

That's the rom I have on all of them and used on the one that dodnt work right. The problem is cwm for some reason.
I used the same downloads for each of my touchpads, the only variable is the touchpad. Its really weird. It loaded the first time, but after that it was a dud. Weird

webosdoctor its only for restoring webos so don't know that it will make much difference. cant give u a link, cause not allowed to but if u take a look on webosbuzz you'll find it all.
before using it, it would be best to remove all preware especially kernels & patches.

Agreed. I only mention this to put it back to stock and thereby eliminating any variables. I find his predicament rather odd so I was just saying he should do that and start from scratch. Then the community might be able to help him a little better.
i know not a lot to go on, hard to throw in something useful.
I see. Well, I installed all the preware and other stuff after the android failure. I figured if I'm stuck with webos I better get it working better. Maybe ill just do a factory reset and try again.

Just wanted to try something different. Oh well.
Didn't see anywhere in the thread if the bluetooth was or wasn't working. Just though I'd let you guys know that bluetooth crashes my Tbolt. I've tried it a few times, just turning it on crashes and when I try to view the bluetooth menu. And now I'm stuck in a bootloop. This is my first post and due to the sight rules I can't post on the actual thread, perhaps a mod can move this to it. Otherwise this has been great!
Try flashing the imoseyon kernal. This should fix your Bluetooth issues.

You're talking about this one, correct?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086518
I see that it is a GB kernel and this is an ICS rom. I don't know if that makes a difference. Still pretty new at this, that's why I'm asking.
My apologies. No you cannot use this with ICS. Its early in the morning and thought I read the title to be about Jesters other ROM Jellyblur (GB ROM themed to look like ICS). There are no custom kernals yet for the Thunderbolts ICS until HTC drops the source. I will try to re-create this issue and I will get back with you unless someone gives a solution before me lol. Once again my apologies.
If you are in a bootloop you may have to re-wipe and re-install the ROM. It may have been a bad flash if BT was not working and caused a bootloop.
EDIT: although irrelevent for this ROM, the link you provided is an outdated custom kernal. The Dev has since then updated to 6.2.1

Hi,
Well you are in luck I had the exact same problem today and finally found the fix. I was using the . 9 radio was working fine so thought its ok but since bluetooth was my only issue I flashed ( in hboot) the . 19 radio and now no bluetooth problem. Not only turn it on and off able to use it!
Phone has not rebooted once since I did this.
Hope this helps you out,
Bryan
Swannyman, I suggest you to try out what trapperjohn found before you wipe. I have also heard reports of the latest radio fixing these issues also.

I love it when a plan comes together.
I also notice alot more 4g speed.
That bootloop sucks.
I wonder if this radio came out when the leak was initially released.
Would explain why on gingerbread we didn't see a big change but obviously the minor change in it was for ics.

Since the problem got solved...figured I'd jump in with a couple issues that I'm having with this rom.
1* I go into settings and to my apps. When I click an app and it brings up the space used and other info...everything says computing and doesn't show a value. I'm trying to move my apps to the SD and it does nothing since they wont compute. Anybody with this issue...a fix?
2* When I get a SMS, the LED keeps blinking after the message is closed or replied to. It stops after a few minutes, but its annoying. I have GoSMS.

1. Wait and let it total all the apps before entering to move them. It may take a minute if you have a lot of apps.
2. That's a bug with gosms. I never could figure out a fix other than disabling the led notification.

Usually a reboot and waiting 5 after boot corrects this problem.

Hi,
What about reseating the sdcard?
Thanks,

So I rooted this phone a few months ago and it originally had Eclair 2.1. I did some research on here and found a guide to root and first installed CM7 and then ICS Passion. Last night I had some issue with my Firefox browser. And I had to reboot it. Then it just shut down down on me and got stuck in a boot loop. I did a quick back up and tried to reboot it from recovery and it's still stuck in the loop. I then did a system restore from that back up, nothing. I did notice that it won't mount the /emmc or /data says it can't mount /emmc. When I try to go to restore anything from the internal SD card it Says there is some kind of error. Now when I try to boot it, it just shows "android" logo and is stuck in a boot loop there. Yeah I'm pretty new at this but I don't know what else I can do. Please help. Thanks in advance
Update: so I was able to revert back to factory settings and still kept ICS on it. The only major thing that I had changed before this incident was I downloaded Beats Audio Driver Root from the Google play store. I should've backed up, I know, bad NooB.
But can anyone tell me about the /emmc and /data folders or whatever not wanting to mount or read? Is that because of the driver?

I've got to tell you that you dodged a huge bullet here. What was about to happen to you is the dreaded Encryption Unsuccessful bug that has been plaguing the Vibrant, Captivate and a slew of other devices. It is totally fixable. There is a workaround using your External SD but as for a cure, there is none. Some people have miraculously come out of it, but no one knows why and it is not reproducible.
Here is my guide for installing ICS from Éclair. Read the whole thread from start to finish. It is only 19 pages and there is a crap-ton of information in there. From Bootloaders, to ROMs, to the EU bug.
You can also go into my Repo thread or N00B_IN_N33D's Bible for any files that you may need.
I see you are in Cincinnati. If you ever need some hands on help, shoot me a PM and I might be around to help. When I first got into Android, I had a Motorola and joined XDA. Had a few guys hand-hold me threw some things but there were about 4 guys that were local in the boards. So that was a bit reassuring.
Skinzy98 - I took your advice on upgrading to JellyBean and it's pretty groovey. I appreciate the advice on that. Of course I did some dumb stuff first: I got all the files on my external SD card and forgot to put them on my internal SD card and then proceeded to do my wipe for factory reset, cache, and the delvik cache. Genius I know right?
Luckily I did a backup first but I got stuck in the boot loop. And as luck would have I still had the zip files from I originally rooted this phone from eclair to cm to ICS. So I tried the ICS zip... Boot loop again... Then I tried the cm9 zip and by George I got somewhere with it lol. And am now sending this with jellybean 4.2.1. I believe I am now an expert on how not to do this lol.
I did experience some initial difficulty with installing jellybean tho. The first time there was some error. The second time it got stuck on the a sung Vibrant load screen. And third time's a charm and bit worked out wonderfully.

I haven't needed to use the GPS. Come to think of it, it didn't come with the AngryGPS app that I had on ICS Passion. I had no problems with gps with that app. The only time I have used the GPS since upgrading to JB is while I was using the GasBuddy app which uses my GPS location to find nearby gas stations and show me the pricing. What can I say? I'm a penny pincher. It seemed to follow me alright, but I can neither confirm nor deny without using an actual GPS app. Anyone know where I can get and how upload a copy of AngryGPS? I'm all ears.
Update:
Nevermind I found one a really good one. It's dead on where I'm at. Only took a couple of seconds to locate me. I am currently having no issues. I can test it out tomorrow on my way to work and so forth.
The GPS worked great the whole time. The only issue j experienced was trying to wake it up. It just wouldn't pull up my lock screen when it the power button. Not sure if that's an issue j can fix or not.

Alright, so I've been modding my phone and many others since the early days of the Captivate, so I'm pretty well versed in how all of this works. That being said, here's my problem:
My phone has become a bit of a whiny b*tch when it comes to flashing ROMs. I know every phone is unique and what works for some may not work for others. But ROMs that have always done well for me (for instance, Flappjaxxx's Unofficial has always ran flawlessly on my device) are now buggy as hell. MD5s are always verified, I fully wipe as instructed, I don't overclock... It just doesn't work right anymore. I get kernel panics and random reboots all the time.
Any insight as to just what the hell is going on with my device would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

its been a while since I have seen a Flapp's rom on here..............
it may not have anything to do with it, but is that an unofficial 4.1 or 4.2 ?
is that the only rom?
I see your stats and know your experienced, but running a rom from Flapp tells me it may have been a little while. things have progressed quite a bit since then.
lets try this.............when was the last time you went into recovery and wiped you Davlik or Cache? could just be a little constipated.
Flapp is gone, his work only survives on his own site. I keep a copy of his ICS native ROM around because, so far, nothing has come close to being as snappy and stable. It's a sort of safe place that I always come back to. I could go weeks without rebooting and never bog down. I love it.
I still flash new works regularly, always with the necessary wipes. When I start getting buggy, I always try the usual go-to fixes. Wiping the caches, Fix Permissions, all that noise. At first, I just thought it was the rampant instability that comes with a new base. New base, new bugs. But for the last month or so, it makes no difference. ICS or JB, Native or AOSP... It's all unstable for me. Something is wrong somewhere. Something that doesn't change with wipes and a flash.
I'm just hoping that someone with a deep knowledge of Android has dealt with this and reads this post.

for what it is worth, I had some issues when 4.3 came out. was only 1 or 2 that I could run and seemed if I could run it, after about a week it would start going haywire. 2 roms would not run at all. I am not big on running an alternate kernel. the rom should run with the kernel the developer included. I posted a thread and others suggested wiping EMMC. that scared the crap out of me. my internal storage was very full. I was having to delete a file just to install another.
I moved all my music and pics to external and got rid of everything else. anything else was on Google.
I now have no more issues running whatever I want and have maybe had 2 ort 3 reboots in last month or more.
out of habit now, what I do after my multiple wipes is flash rom itself, then flash rom and gapps. let it settle for the 10 and reboot again. then set up. been a pretty solid routine
many out there still have have issues with 4.2, but I have heard of very very few reboot issues on 4.3.
good luck my friend

for what it is worth, I had some issues when 4.3 came out. was only 1 or 2 that I could run and seemed if I could run it, after about a week it would start going haywire. 2 roms would not run at all. I am not big on running an alternate kernel. the rom should run with the kernel the developer included. I posted a thread and others suggested wiping EMMC. that scared the crap out of me. my internal storage was very full. I was having to delete a file just to install another.
I moved all my music and pics to external and got rid of everything else. anything else was on Google.
I now have no more issues running whatever I want and have maybe had 2 ort 3 reboots in last month or more.
out of habit now, what I do after my multiple wipes is flash rom itself, then flash rom and gapps. let it settle for the 10 and reboot again. then set up. been a pretty solid routine
many out there still have have issues with 4.2, but I have heard of very very few reboot issues on 4.3.
good luck my friend

Lol dammit! I figured that'd be the suggestion. I was really hoping not to have to wipe my internal storage. Like you said, that is some seriously scary business. I already keep my backups and music on the external, so I guess I'll just backup my pics to my laptop and give it a good wipe.
Thanks for the advice.

cant you go blind from doing that?
don't worry, it's only natural for a young man to explore his partitions
Lol. Effin clowns. Turns out I'm far too lazy to sift through the folders. I dragged the DCIM onto my desktop and wiped that S.O.B. clean. I haven't seen 11 GB free since I bought this bastard lol. Hopefully it works out.

Hi I am having some issues and I have tried searching and have tried a few things but I am unable to get my motorola atrix to root.
I tried Super One Click it says killing adb server then starting then it ends up not responding.
I tried Motofail and it just hangs on waiting for device.
I also tried fastboot and had a similar experience.
I have debugging and non market apps ticked on the phone and the drivers installed from Motorola.
Does the phones need to be off or in recovery?
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi thanks for the reply but that top "one click method" has a broken link.
I think nothing is working because I had multiple ADB.EXE on my computer I deleted them all but the on in the superoneclick folder but still not luck.
This is frustrating I didn't have any problems before and it seems that all the threads about rooting the atrix are very old and all the links are broken.
Any other ideas?
Cheers.
Did you try the second method? The preinstall method? That's why I gave the link to that thread. You already mentioned that super one click doesn't work

the link for the adb fastboot is down
I am using my own fastboot. It just hangs on waiting for device. I do not have adb.exe in the folder like in the link you sent.
Should I be able to see my ADB device in my device manager because it says CASUAL's usb devices.
Try to uninstall (not just delete) all android and motorola related software, reboot the computer and use ccleaner to clean the crap left behind by those, also check the registry to make sure they didn't left anything there. Once done, try those steps, and redownload ecerything you need, in case downloads were corrupted. Also, for fastboot I think it's better to use moto-fastboot than regular one

What is casuals usb device? its definitely the phone I have no idea how that driver got on there. will uninstall from the device manager. I just need to see Motorola ADB device installed! Grrr
Thanks.
I feel like a total idiot!
All I did was un install the casual's usb device driver from the device manager, I ticked the box that says to delete the driver. Then I unplugged the phone and plugged it back in. BAM picked up the adb driver and installed now it seems that super one click is working but I will let you know when it is done. IT WORKS!
I was very overwhelmed and going around in circles, at last I got my head together!
Now I need to get a custom recovery on it and I can finally get a decent custom rom.
I know everyone hates this questions but what is a good rrom? I am looking for total stability I want the HDMI out to work and good battery life I dont care about any fancy features. Just rock solid stability.
I hope you guys can continue to give the great support you have been!
Glad to hear you got it working. A good rom to start with is mrom. Unbelievable stable and battery friendly.

I am so relieved I had a atrix years ago and missed it ever since, I used to have fund changing roms all the time and I really wanted to get that phone back so I bought one with a broken digitizer and after breaking one new digitizer I managed to fit it! Now I have finally got a custom rom on there and everything is much better I am so happy.
I think this is still one of the best phones out there.
Thanks everyone for your help I feel like its xmas morning. Well actually much better because I got something useful and had to put work into it to get it!
Happy new year!!!

Play Store and all the other google apps are not available in the official CM roms by default. you have the flash a second package (GAPPS Package) to have these apps. Go to http://goo.im/gapps and download the right gapps package for your room. in this case the CM 7.1-2.x 2.3.5-7 package

Have MROM and installed GAPPS its epic thats great thank you both so much
Sorry one more thing guys. One of the original issues that made me want to root and install a custom rom was that once I unlocked my phone to all carriers (which I paid for officially) my RAM was reduced to 375mb, now it has improved and is at 490mb available out of 815mb total.
(says this in the "about phone" section).
Do you guys know how to get the full 1GB of RAM? I would like to be able to run some pretty intensive apps on here.
Thanks.

Hey dude thanks for the link but I tried to install it on my phone with recovery and it hasn't changed anything still: 461mb/815mb ram...
hmmm...
I read some ROMS have the ram fix built in I guess not MROM?
And I read its a Kernal issue maybe I can install a different Kernal?
Thanks.
815mb is the full ram. You never get the full 1gb even on stock. I could be wrong but I believe 815mb is the most we can get. On cm 10.1 I get in the early 700mb

That sounds about right phone reserves the rest for core drives and operating system. what you see taken up from the 8** is the apps installed that are running. If you install the full batch of gapps can lose 400mb of ram. In most cases this isnt a problem unless you runn graphic intense games then you might want to limit what gapps get installed to only what you'll use.
Nope. If you take a closer look at initrd, you will see that the rest is assigned to video.

Guys thanks for all the advice.
I think MROM is ok, I personally do not like the way it looks, the blue everywhere and the symbols are pretty lame.
It is very stable though!
Any other advice?
I guess go back to neutrino rom like the good ol days.
