Hi, i travel alot for my work and dont have much free time. The problem im facing has to do with the xorg.conf file for my photon. I tried to maximize the resolution output on webtop hack and seemed to have done something wrong. Now when i plug my hdmi cable in the phone it just shows a motorola logo on the t.v.. i figure if i just replace the corrupt file with an unaltered one it should just go back to the way it was before. All im asking is for someone to post a stock photon xorg.conf from their phone. if someone can help that'd be great!!!

If you tell me where to find it, and how to get it to you, its yours.
If your phone is rooted. Use file expert or root explorer. Search in system folders. Path osh/etc/x11/xorg.conf

Moving to the Photon Q&A section since this is device specific and is a software question.
edit: Also, please do not repost the same question across multiple forums.
Found it, but I see you already got it. Cheers

Same request. Can someone e-mail me their original xorg.conf file? I normally keep an original before I edit, and I didn't
Once I get it, I'd be happy to share it on my dropbox.
I searched the other threads, and didn't see it.
Sorry, also, does anyone know if editing the file in Notepad or Word (but saving as a text file) screws with the carriage returns? I noted that the original, when I first opened it in Notepad, didn't show the carriage returns (again I was stupid and should have saved it then)...

I have recently rooted my 2.1 ota 1.49 hboot. flashed cyantazzv2, OC 806mhz. kevlarfroyo v3.
What I am interested in, is learning more about adb
lehmans terms please.
I used an app off the market, a 1 button push root process, so any adb stuff I had bypassed.
Thanks in advance
Man you're going to get crucified....Google is your friend.
Its how most of us figured it out.
I say this because what you are asking can easily be found and figured out with a simple search on Google.

Yes google is your friend quit being lazy and search. It took me 20 mind of read to learn everythong about adb commands
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
Or hell, type adb into your command line / terminal and it will explain all the commands...
Research the old "how to root" and follow some of the steps (the ones that don't require doing anything to your phone). Download SDK and Java JDK to your computer. Set up the drivers. Now.....Google!
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
But if you rooted your phone than surely you must have used adb so as with any command line protocol ie Linux I always typed "help" and learned a lot just from that so try adb help

Don't be douches and flame this guy for asking more about adb and debugging. Yes it may be in the wrong section of the forums but we're all here for the same reason. Only flamers flame, so don't be a flamer.
Here is a link to the adb commands. If you need more information google it and im sure you will find it. Otherwise you're welcome to PM me or come into the andirc chat that is listed in my signature.

Cause no one bothers to google it or search the forums. How hard is it to do it especially adb commands. I would understand if it was something more complicated but its not.

99% or more of the time, the effort that goes into flaming someone could have been more than enough to answer the question in the first place. I am very technical-minded so I easily get frustrated by some questions, but why actually be so negative when you could give some useful information like Andrew did... a push in the right direction AND a hint to Google for more information without getting on a high horse.
My observations leads me to the simple answer that sometimes we all need reminded of our alternatives. I have almost 30 years technical experience and sometimes I still have to take a step back and realize that I can easily solve something myself by taking a different route.
A lot of people aren't being lazy, they just aren't search gurus, which is an art, not a science. I will also say that most forum's search functions lack the power to really effectively narrow down search results for some things. Now I'm going get of my own soapbox and try to continue being constructive.

Well since no one will actually explain ill put adb into lehmans terms, ADB is the Android Debug Bridge and is part of the Android SDK . It allows a developer to push files to certains parts of the phones memory, boot to the bootloader, enter shell commands, and much more. ADB is simply an interface for a developer to send commands and to test things without opening a terminal on the phone or using an emulator
Thanks Cap.... I truly wanted to know why an how it worked, not just told what to do. You gave me general understanding, I commend you my friend
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
yeah, adb just tells you everything. adb shell is direct access to a terminal that is on phones filesystem
No problem, glad I could help
I recommend downloading root explorer. A lot (not all) of the adb commands do the same thing that root explorer allows you to do. It allows you to open and view, modify, delete, and replace system files. I use it to change my boot animations, delete unwanted system apps, change Verizon (or whatever appears) on the lockscreen to my own personal message, and copy system files (i.e. the rom I'm on now has some sweet ringtones I've never had access to. So I'll copy them to the sd in case I decide to change roms in the future).
Beware....like adb commands, if you change or delete the wrong file you can brick your phone. So, like I said earlier, you still need to do some research.
PM me if you need help and I'll do what I can.

How do I get rid of the webtop hack and I really am not that good at this stuff was surprised I actually did the hack in the first place and if I upgrade is Ther any way to root again please help me
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I'm just going to tell you to search... not even with the search button, because the thread you need is probably on the first page of development.
Never live in the past but always learn from it.
I need a link that I can download the pg05img.zip file that my thunderbolt had before the new ruu update. I think it was .6 or .0023 or something . My phone ran so much smoother with it. Also I was running the perfect storm v1.3 and had a kernel from ziggy .(1.7) that I cannot find now from his website. I have been looking forever and finally I thought id ask you freaks. Jk . Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Oh and don't tell me I should have searched because I did. I typed it in Google and searched on here. Didn't find any specific info due to the fact I didn't wanna lose root. I spent literally 6 hours rooting the bad boy the old fashion way adb drivers .

You didn't search too hard did you. It's in the development section and it's title says RADIO on it. You will have to read pass the first post to know which one came with the phone. No, I won't be providing you with a link, just go to the development section. As for the stock kernel try flashing the debloated stock rom.

In here somewhere, shouldn't be too long to figure out.
As far as the kernel you'll have to ask or pm the dev since they don't have it explicitly posted.
Ok well I flashed the .6 LTE and cdma but when I check the software on my phone it says I have the .9 I am so confused
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
That is because you are comparing all the wrong numbers. From Adrynalyne himself...
1.12.606.6= release software. This is what you started with.
1.12.605.9= leaked software, but same radios as .6.
1.13.605.7= leaked software, latest, new CDMA and LTE radio. These are what people flashed in the RUU thread or Das BAMF.
Thes numbers are software release numbers. Not radio numbers. The baseband number, I believe, is the radio number. So, if you flashed this file, you have the new RUU with the old radio.
If you downloaded this file from the OP of the Radio thread, then you have the stock radio.
Lastly (for now), we have the 1.12.605.6 CDMA/LTE radio combo.

To read is your best bet. I have been a "lurker" on these boards for some time. I read and read some more until I understand. Believe me, it is not fun reading through a couple hundred pages for just one thread, but you would be surprised what you would learn by doing so.
And to be quite honest, asking questions such as this only serves to solidify the reason for the responses you get from the more senior members. If you have to ask questions like this, you had no business rooting or loading a new radio in the first place.
Good luck
Whatever I am not going to spend hours on here reading about a phone. I actually have a life and it is not spent on my phone . Thanks for the help. Maybe if you would explain the answer to the question I was asking I would understand. Instead of posting someone else's written material on here for me which I obviously read before . But whatever I flashed the wrong .zip file anyway and lost root thanks freaks

If you don't want to spend the time and learn about your phone then you don't need root
We won't spoon feed you here, you have to do somethings by yourself
Besides rooting the phone again is easy, as long as u didn't use a semi one click root

i have spend time to learn about this phone. I am just not familiar with the lingo. bro i have been from verizon (og droid) to at&t (aria) sprint (evo) and now back to Verizon only after having the samsung phone until the tbolt was out. I rooted every single one of those phones !!! i bricked the og droid and learned alot from that. havent bricked since. so don't tell me i don't spend time on here. you and alot of people on here spend more time complaining when you could be explaining. you would have saved a step in your last post had you just put the answer to my question. i build powerlines off helicopter skids for a living i don't have all day to spend on here "learning" the lingo. i just wanted simple help without you freaks getting your panties all bunched up because i apparently don't know what i am talking about. so if you cannot help me do not post back.
i am new to this website, as i have been finding all my information on google because i was afraid this would happen.
i rooted this phone having to install adb drivers on windows 7. do i just use shell command or whatever its called and push the files to the phone and make sure the md5sum is the same? all i was wanting to do was just go back before the leaked software. i was running the perfect storm 1.3 and ziggy mecha bfs kernel i think it was 1.7 but it was superfast. i live in los angeles and where i live i have full 4g all the time. now i lose 4g go to 3g then have to mess with it to get it back to 4g. that was until i lost root. so back to my question do i just push the files to the phone. i will have to fire up that old laptop again the only reason i used that one was because there wasnt a root guide for a mac back when the tb was released. is it easier on a mac fresh or on windows with the adb drivers and sdk already installed?

In the time it took you to insult everyone that can help you, you could have found the answer you were looking for. Just because there are people on here that have a vast knowledge about this and many other phones doesnt mean they have no life like someone who gets offended and calls the people that can help them "freaks". Next time you need assistance you might want to change your tact. Just my opinion.
So I rooted my gs2 for a couple of reasons. The main 1 being so I could freeze apps I don't use to save battery. But since then the internet drain is twice as bad. Apparently ke8 helps this problem so I would like to install and root this.
The first half of the guide I found makes sense but the second half about adding the ke8 kernal confuse me a bit. So if there is someone here who could dumb it down for me I would appreciate it.

how to install clockworkmod i was trying to do it through rom manager but it does said my phone it said nexus is there any other way of flashing the clockworkmod
Download a flashable .zip of the clockworkmod recovery, rename it update.zip, and it in the root of your SD card. Reboot into standard recovery, and select reinstall packages or something like that.
If all goes well, it should work.

Come on dude. You've been around sine 2009 you know how to do this. There are multiple threads asking the same thing and a few with the apk attached all within the search function.
I don't know it all and I am always asking and posting questions, but I do know how to use the search.
If you have more questions just ask and if I know I will answer or at least point you in the right direction.
How do you think that I found the solution for my problem? I was trying to tell the OP that he wasn't alone and I post the direct link so he can use it...I mean...how hard it is to help other people without feeling like king of the world... Or giving attitude... Really?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
It isn't hard to help people. I do it all the time but the answer is stickied. I mean it is right there.
Sorry if I came off with attitude but it is all out there for the taking just have to look for it. Plus you were in the same situation at 6 tonight so you are telling me that in the past 5 hours you didn't search in XDA (not Google) or read the Noob Guide? That is what I am getting at. I'll give you that searching for "Clockwork" will probably pull up a phonebook sized result.
Glad you found what you were looking for and if you need anything else just ask. Again if I know, I'll answer or at least point you to the right place.
I'm out. Good luck
Btw I would take down the Rootz link before mods see it. Definitely against the rules to post a competitor site.
